Of course my brother would just... put our father in a human nursing home. Odin, the allfather, in a nursing home.

And then hang around pretending to be him while putting on plays all about how glorious Loki is.

Almost makes me wish he was still actually dead.

Never trust Loki when he says he's dead, trust me on this, he's never actually dead. And yet I fall for it ever time.

But does it get better, Thor? Indeed! For we find our father in time to watch him die and for our elder sister to show up and threaten to destroy Asgard.

Now, Hela is a surprise to me in my dreams, less so to me here, as she's estranged family, though far less of a bitch.

Which is a lie. I can actually see her going all evil and stuff.

I hope everyone's days are going alright, but if they're not, maybe this baby polka dot zebra will help brighten your day. My ex-wife used to I used to be told that mixing polka dots with stripes was absolutely taboo, but I think it looks just fine to me.

So I had another fun dream about the Shadowhunter Academy last night. A couple of us were tasked with finding a rogue vampire so of course a couple of the others started asking me about being a vampire, but I didn't remember any of that since my memories still hadn't come back about that time. They didn't believe me at first. Honestly, some of those Shadowhunters are dicks. Anyway, the vampire was in Brooklyn, so we were dispatched and when we found her, she begged me to let her go cause she recognized me of course. I hesitated and almost got both me and Jon killed, but Isabelle showed up but someone showed up and killed the vampire and since Jon had gotten knocked out, he thought I'd done it when he came to. Once we were back at the Academy I basically got in an argument about Downworlders and the way Shadowhunters treat them, with some of the kids.

In the end, Catarina told me a story, where the moral was basically about me choosing my own path and I started to remember more about Clary cause she came to see me and talked to me about some stuff and so yeah, it's fun going to school with a bunch of elitist assholes. I just hope that if I make it through all this training and become a Shadowhunter, maybe I can help change things.

In more fun news, some Gen 5 Pokemon were released in PokemonGo today and I've already caught four of them plus I caught a shiny version of an older Pokemon that I've been searching for forever! Yes, I know, all of that is incredibly nerdy, but it's what I like to do.

To everyone who came to either concert this weekend, thank you.

And as the concert is now done, along with the hints, I can officially say what show auditions are for next weekend. But first, the hints as filmed by my brother.

( cut to spare the friends list, visible to all )

Yes, that is Jeremy Jordan who showed up. Yes we are going to be doing Bonnie & Clyde this winter. (And yes, Armand is clearly quite excited about this fact).

So again, auditions are next weekend (the 21st and 22nd) with call backs the following weekend (the 28th and 29th) at [theatre]. Then the show itself will run from mid November through the end of December.

Something is very wrong today. I cannot... access my powers, nor locate my hammer. It is as though I am no longer Thor, God of Thunder, but merely Thor, Odinson.

I'm kinda proud of myself, I wrote the most professional fuck you letter to my agent without a single actual curse word involved and quit. I'm freeeee.


[Elsa]
Why didn't you tell me you were kidnapped? No more secrets.

.....Iiiii don't even remember ordering anything from Amazon, but a good twenty packages showed up?

Who got their story printed front page above the fold? That's right, I did.

There is definitely something to that which you can't get with online only news publications.

I couldn't tell if this was a pout or a frown, or some combination of the two, but either way I had to snap a picture of it because it's highly adorable.

( Cut for picture, viewable to all )

I suppose vacation time is over. It's time to find employment.

Sometimes I look at my brother and go 'of course you did that why am I actually surprised?'

I must say that I have never been so confused, or potentially concerned, as when I hear my wife in the other room scream "This is it, I'm ending this relationship." I haven't done anything warranting that being directed at me that I am aware of.

I had a suitably epic return in my dreams, following a vision to prevent Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard.

In other words I kicked the ass of Surtur, the satanic ruler of Muspelheim, which is basically a hellscape, and fought a dragon as I escaped.

Now I've his crown hanging on my wall, since that's the closest thing to a trophy room I have here.

I'm pretty sure that's actually his skull.

Pretend Thor is taking a selfie in front of this hanging on the wall

It seems as though people are already starting to celebrate the 4th of July. I just had to kick someone out of the bar after cutting them off because they were singing the national anthem. And they were singing as well as you'd expect a drunk to sing. I'm also fairly certain the lyrics he was trying to sing were nothing close to what the actual words to the national anthem are.

Today is National PTSD Awareness today. For those of us living with PTSD, know that we aren't alone and there is no shame in having it. There is help available, but most importantly, we are not weak because we have PTSD. We are strong for having survived the trauma we suffered. Though I know that it doesn't always feel that way.

I finally think I understand why you made the move out here Bucky. The weather out here is definitely different than New York. It is kind of strange to think that I won't have to experience another New York winter this year.

To everyone else, I'm Steve Rogers. I'm a recent arrival and I have brought my beautiful wife, Dr. Peggy Carter, with me. I look forward to meeting you all.

Well crap, I might be just as crazy as all of you.

I got asked to go to a makeup Launch party this weekend with my Agency but don't wanna go alone. Free makeup, and probably tiny pompous finger sandwiches to anyone who says yes?!

The last thing I needed right now was some dream regarding my family.

Even if it is some space trek with ... spiders and capes. I don't even know.

I think I need to reassess my diet and exercise regime, I don't need to dream in technicolour people thanks.

I forgot how forward American guys were. I had a guy over to fix the air conditioner today, he thought my offering him a drink was a code for Please remove your pants.

So that happened.

I turned around to give him a freaking water bottle and his pants were down. No wonder he's single.

I have discovered what HYDRA planned for my brother and I, and as I assumed it is not that we will be saviours of the world, more likely we are to assist them in vying for removing freedom from world. It seems they are unable to stand up against the attacks of those looking to stop them, which is why we were so important in Dr Lists experiments.

And while I'm trying to piece together my newfound place as a villain in my dreams, I am informed that my accommodation on campus is only secured until the end of term, but my off campus apartment will not be fully repaired until at least September. Fire damage being what it is.

I dislike apartment hunting, I dislike it more when I am feeling rushed to do it.

Here we go here we go I've had enough caffeine that I can *feel the pulse of the universe* but I'm finally ready. It's happening. Here it is.

( Image under the cut )

We're putting it in. No more battery Tony. We're gettin' an upgrade. Gonna rip this electromagnet right out and do this all up proper. I'm gonna be a night light. Very exciting.

The clinic is open and magically protected from harm. Come here for safety, or for medical attention! We could even use a few volunteers. I have set up a special burn area as well, as that seems to be the worst of the damage.

OKay...

But why not just buy the donut truck?

Hey, it's me again. Your guy, Tony Stark. I have to stick the name on there because everyone on here is always all 'who are you again?'. Seriously, youtube search me, you'll even get videos with my clothes off. If you're into that.

So I need a person. I had a person, but she did such a great job that she got a promotion. Now it's your turn! General you. The person has to be able to handle things like: Kicking one night stands out of my apartment if I end up too busy to see them out, remembering important details like my birth date and my social security number, buying stuff when I need it, procuring me rare art, and being available for random trips to places at that last minute. Plus, I'll probably text you at 3am at least a zillion times. Very importantly, I've been told it's like babysitting. So someone with enough of a spine to tell a guy like me "Tony, No, it's 4am, get pizza at a normal time of night" is uniquely qualified to professionally babysit one Tony Stark.

There's awesome benefits and compensation for being forced to work for such a gigantic asshole as me. Hit me up.

On another note? I'm totally Iron Man, apparently. Like, super hero gig stuff. And Pop Tarts? You're on my naughty list.

Another day another dollar and here I was thinking that taking care of animals would be easier. They can't talk back the same way a human patient can but then they do bite and kick when you least expect especially if they're wounded and had the misfortune of walking headfirst into traffic.

That said I'd take that over a smart mouth any day. Some people wouldn't know good care if it came up and bit them on the ass but animals? Well, they get it after a while. May take a few but they get it and then they relax, let you do your job and for the most part things work out okay. Some days it doesn't but that's life for you, got to take the bad with the good.

Course the worst day in my clinic? Better than some of the best days in a hospital.

Finally went and got my hair done again today. I've been so busy at the clinic and The Agency that I haven't had much free time, but I made the time today and it feels so good.

( New hair and loving it )

Also, speaking of the clinic, for anyone who might not be aware, we specialize in helping fellow dreamers who may not want to go to a regular hospital with injuries or other things that would be difficult to explain.

My dreams have been most unkind of late.

If anyone would like to share good things from their dreams, I'd really appreciate it.



Loki

Brother. What have you dreamed?


Angela

Do you have a moment?

I was hired recently by a man who wants me to look into his daughter's personal life, specifically whether or not she's dating the right sort of people, so that he can decide whether or not to keep her in his will. At $150/hour plus all inured expenses paid, it was just too good to pass up.

I'll be following a lead from a very reliable source that she's very interested in volunteering, so I guess I'll have to check out places like Habitat for Humanity and the soup kitchen. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

[Veronica]

This seems like it's going to be a very long, complicated case, and I just don't know if I can't handle it myself. How'd you like to be hired on as a consultant?

Well I think I just disproved my own theory that if I stayed busy enough I wouldn’t have any dreams this semester at school. I finally found out what the key in my dreams opens up! There was a little curtain off to one side of the hall, and inside is this little tiny door- maybe a foot tall- and the key fits it! I open it up and there’s this really beautiful garden on the other side and I lay there looking at it for a while, wishing that I could get in there but my head won’t even fit through the door.

I finally quit laying on the floor, wishing, and go back to the table I found the key on and now there’s a bottle that has a label that says Drink Me on it! I know it wasn’t there when I first got the key, but it is now and it’s not labeled poison, so I drink it and it tastes pretty good. And after a minute makes me shrink down to the right size to fit through the door but just my dreamluck - I locked the door when I went back to the table and left the key on top of it, and can’t reach it anymore. And no matter how many times I try to climb that table I keep slipping back down to the floor and I finally just give up and start to cry.

And that’s when I woke up here. And found that same bottle on my pillow next to me. A part of me really wants to take a sip and see if it will make me shrink here like it did in the drams but the rest of me is saying “Don’t be stupid Alice. You have no way of reversing the shrinking and can’t take care of Kurt if you’re only ten inches tall! And you definitely can’t go to classes or auditions if you can’t be seen!”

My dreams have brought me to an interesting crossroads. After we saved the world and partook in shawarma, I had to return to Asgard with the weapon used in the attack on Earth, and immediately set about bringing the realms from the brink of the chaos caused by the destruction of the Bifrost after the first time I visited Earth.

But then Jane was hurt and I brought her to Asgard.


Loki

What... have you dreamed of?

Man, you haven't seen anything until you've seen the looks on everyone's faces when you come into work carrying a car battery that's attached to an electromagnet that's mysteriously strapped to your chest. "Mr. Stark, are you okay?" Yeah, sure, I'm fine. It's just a car battery and an electromagnet. Can we all just chillax already?

Also I look like I was just in a brawl with a broken glass window and someone's fists, which is interesting seeing as I actually did not do any partying last night.

I feel like I need to be on an episode of "When Dreams Attack". Also - dream me definitely had to be zapped back into existence, so do I get a jacket now?

Private to Pidge
So yeah, you were looking for proof, I woke up with your proof attached to my chest. Want to come in and see this sometime soon? I'll even let you touch it. Just not too much, because I've discovered that if I move it around too far it puts me into cardiac arrest.

Sent earlier in the evening.

So, then... How many of you on the network have abilities that would label you as a 'healer'? Perhaps you have powers, or healing magic, or you can make curing potions. You may have been an apothecary in your dream life, or a medic?

My clinic would like to open up its doors to non-traditional healers. You could be employed here - we would put you in a regular staff position, such as a receptionist or office worker, but you could be called in to help with cases involving strange dreamer injuries or illnesses. I would never ask you to subject yourself to the scrutiny of the general public. Your role there can even be anonymous to everyone but me.

If this does not suit, I am also looking for those who would be more willing to be 'on call' in case of emergencies. This list, again, would be as confidential as you wish it to be - if you want your privacy protected, simply apply privately!

February isn't real. Winter doesn't exist past January 31st. After that, it's just Pre-Spring.

Man am I glad I got home in time for THIS. Stark Tower is fine, by the way. We're safe, the - whats its name Scourge?! - can't seem to climb up it, and the Dragons are circling but their frost breath isn't even a thing.

So you know. Come on over and in if you need a safe space. We're throwing a party on the first floor.

Also - Is no one going to talk about the dinosaur? SOMEONE has a dinosaur and it's out there kicking ass. Whoever you are, I want to meet the dinosaur.

HEY KID WHO THOUGHT WE WERE ALL CRAZY: Where are you at with this now? Figure you've been drinking too much of the water? Believing the hype about this being some kind of publicity stunt? Try not to lose your shit, it'll be okay.

Okay, does anyone else Dream of like, a historical time period or mythology or something and then something happens in the Dream and you're just like 'Wait, that's not right, that's not how it goes?' Because I just had one of those moments in my Dreams.

I know for a fact that Freya, Norse goddess of love, sex and so forth, was NEVER married to Odin. And yet I'm definitely Odin's wife as part of the peace deal to end the Aesir-Vanir War. Of course, my people now think I'm a traitor so I've basically been banished from ever returning to Vanaheim. I mean, it could be worse, I could be a prisoner, though being married to my enemy isn't ideal either.

Turns out Christmas isn't so bad when 90% of your family is on the other side of the country.

Orange County, I am in you. Feeling pretty holly and jolly here in California what with all that snow and everything. Nice of you to blizzard by the way, weather. I almost didn't make it in. It was a close one, not gonna lie.

Every year like clock work, too. Hey, it's December and suddenly it's cold and snowy here in the land of sunshine. Christmas decorations trying to kill us, mistletoe that makes young men kiss mall santas. It's like I never even left New York. Also it looks like I missed the snowmen this year. Can we put in a request for more snowmen?

Anyway, I have cronuts and most of you probably don't, so I'm currently winning the internet. Also, hey, Stark Employees, Merry Christmas to you - Happy Holidays, shrug emoji, whatever thing you celebrate. If you will. And I will. Am. Already started, no one's surprised.

Look in your accounts, 'cause like hey - you can't take it with you, so why was it sitting around in my bank account? You get a bonus and you get a bonus and YOU get a bonus.

So much for ignoring this place and the

Weapons just showing up on the wall... I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's something that also is a common occurrence here?

This time of year is always filled with fond memories of pumpkin pie and taking my little brother trick or treating.

Though with him, it was as often a trick as a treat.

Loki, remember the time you made me think you'd gotten your hand caught in the disposal? Good times!

As long as Halloween is nothing like back in my dreams I'll be a happy woman. I might be a glutton for fighting but some holidays are just too much even for me.

Though, at least, it's almost guaranteed to never be boring there.

Sometimes I just don't understand my brother in my dreams.

I connected to the blanket wi-fi in my neighborhood and it brought me to this site. Is this a town hall or more of a town watch? Where do I sign up for the church choir?

So now that things seem to be back to normal, I thought it an appropriate time to see if anyone was looking for a roommate. Mine recently moved to Colorado and I can't keep up with the ridiculousness that is rent in this area. (Seriously, you can't find a studio for under $1000? Is this real life?) You can come check out the room here or I'd be open to moving. It would just need to be close to the Anaheim area...preferably.

I'm a super nice person, I clean up after myself, can be social when I need to be, stay in my own room when I wanna be antisocial. (Alright friends, this is the time to step up and say good things about me!)

Dreams, dreams, and more dreams. Isn't that how this place goes? I do wonder what is going to happen next. I'm vaguely curious. I want to know, how deep in this battle do I get? Do I get to fly a helicopter again? These are the things I inquire about.

So. Question. Where the fuck am I supposed to keep a pegasus in this place? Because I totally woke up to my pegasus nosing me this morning. At least she's not dead

So Brendon Urie, the lead singer (and, honestly, only member now) of Panic at the Disco just came out as being Pansexual. I have three thoughts.

1. Welcome my fellow Pan.
2. He wasn’t out already?
3. Brendon, you need to change your name to Nicholas now. So you can literally be Pan Nick At The Disco.

Thank you, I’m here all week.

You know, I'm still only partially convinced that there's something to this whole dream thing. I could've just gotten so drunk I don't remember getting this tattoo on my arm. But considering it's the same mark I have in the dreams, it's probably not a coincidence.

So, I'm a Valkyrie, apparently. Kind of like in Norse mythology, but in my dreams they're more protectors of Asgard than choosers of the slain or whatever. Plus, I am about as non-Norse-looking as you could get.

I'm looking for a new project. Inquire below.

Glad to know that I have the same type of smart mouth in the Dreams as I do here. Bianca might have cut me off but I know myself - I was going to tell Dr. Thorn to shove his army up his monster ass. At 10. I kind of like 10 year old me. Turns out the school our family lawyer moved us to from the Lotus Hotel was being run by a manticore, which for anyone who doesn’t know is a very fucked up looking monster with the face of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of scorpion that it shoots stuff at you with, and we have to get rescued from him by other demigods. Because for all my smartassness I’m still just a kid and didn’t have a weapon and someone named the General wanted us brought to him because we’re apparently pretty powerful demigods.
