Ha, I knew it
Dec. 7th, 2018 12:17 pmMy friend sent me a text at 5 a.m. my time to tell me that the trailer for A4 had dropped, finally. I was sleeping so I didn't want to watch it, and just asked her what the title was, so she said "Endgame." I laughed and laughed--I've been saying over and over that Strange's line would be the most important line of the movie, but everyone was constantly discussing all these other lines and actions, and I was sitting there going "no, that's the one that A4 will be built on." I even mentioned it to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
minim_calibre's daughter when we went to see it at the Marvel tenth anniversary thing--I mused that it would probably be the title, because I felt that word was so significant.
Anyway, I have a lot of trouble sleeping, even with the meds, and I wake up a lot during the night; sometimes if I can't sleep again I'll watch an animal rescue video or something, and usually fall back asleep. When I woke later, I figured I'd watch the trailer. Then I dreamed we were watching the movie, but we were on like a hard linoleum floor in a hallway, we were all packed in there, sort of half lying down, and there were strangers in between me and min, but of course we were all talking with each other and the movie would stop for us to have talking breaks. It was very odd. In the movie itself, Bruce was off in outer space again (don't know if he was off to save Tony or not), Rhodey was off politicking, I didn't see Thor, but there was this creepy jump scare type thing where this human hand was creeping out of the bushes while Nat and Steve were talking outside, and it turned out to be a young man, of I think East Asian descent (because my head movies are apparently 100% less racist than Marvel, so all the new "characters" that appeared in my dream were nonwhite), who wanted to be an archer like Hawkeye and so Clint took him under his wing, plus he was sort of enhanced, so bonus for them. Then this young woman came bursting through the sky a little later, in a pastel, sunbeamy rectangle like some kind of greeting card cover, riding a unicorn pegasus (!!!), and she had some kind of power that I can't recall now (I mean, aside from the obvious superpower of being able to ride a unicorn pegasus!). When she dismounted, I could see that she looked like Enfys Nest. So Nat and Steve were starting to realize there were more people with mutated powers around.
Anyway, cut to a bunch of the Avengers running through some kind of sprawling, dirty, rundown, weird store-like situation, seemed like somewhere in Hong Kong or something like that (I have watched Push way too often), it was like a series of interconnected buildings, and at one point Steve and Nat run under this giant hole in the ceiling that's all drippy and creepy, and Nat scowls at it. Then they go through this weird hallway/connection point, and Nat overhears a bunch of guys saying that people are trying to get into these holes to get powers, she feigns interest in this random washing machine that's in a corner, and she catches up to Steve to tell him. They both realize that that's what will bring everyone back, and save the universe: that everyone is developing powers, like the Slayers all getting called up at the end of Buffy. And when all the different powers of the millions left alive combine, it'll...I don't know, fix the problem, because that's when I woke up (right at the goddamn climax!!).
So that was fun.
I shouldn't be posting but I had to share that, since I rarely remember dreams. There's so much to do right now and little time, but I also wanted to take that time to say THANK YOU to everyone who's contributed to my Ko-Fi fundraising or through PP (and in one amazing instance, a check), I'm incredibly touched and I know how hard things are for a lot of people so this means the world to me.
The world's most expensive cat seems to be doing pretty well. He's officially a senior now, and he has some health problems I haven't been able to address because vet care is so expensive, but for the most part, whatever happened seems better now, though I'm keeping an eye on him. For a while it was just sleeping almost 24 hours, but he's now back to being awake a little more, and even has come outside with me and hung out while I did some garden stuff. And he seems more chipper.
I am trying the vertical mouse, too, but...I had to download drivers for it, and I got the ones that were marked for my OS, but the fucking thing broke my computer, and so that was unusable for days. Mrs. Killabeez was on the phone to help me Monday, and I felt so bad for her because we went through dozens and dozens of tries to get it to boot in a way that would allow us to recover the OS. I finally had to reinstall, and I was afraid of losing everything because the crash happened when I had a bunch of things opened. I didn't seem to lose anything, but there's a bunch of system stuff that's different now. So I'm really not sure about this mouse. But I also need to try a keyboard from the same company so that's...on the agenda. Typing is, I think, way worse than the mousework. Plus I have to finish Yuletide, and the pain is so significant that I'm not sure what I'll do about that.
Anyways: tl;dr funny Avengers dream, thank you guys so, so much for helping me out, and I hope everyone has a great weekend.
