RATM and random fic'kin stuff
Dec. 20th, 2009 11:36 pmFuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Right on! RATM got the UK X-Mas #1 singles chart spot, over X-Factor's latest winner/attempt at totalworld chart domination :D T'is an awesome song, too. The internet masses prevail! *Rocking out to Killing*
I had an interesting (to me) dream last night which was kinda fic'kin related. It was here, in this world, and we were all human but we were thinking of ourselves in terms of the fic'kin identities we had. Like always in these kinds of dreams, Jei was there and was Sonic, and I was me/Tails... but Knuckles was there too, also a normal person in this world, but I knew him/her as Knuckles first and foremost. I can't actually remember what gender they were, but I think it was female like Jei and myself.
We'd only recently found Knuckles, and I was still a little nervous around him (gonna use 'him' even if they were actually female, for ease). I really wanted to make a good impression and for him to like me so that we could be good friends. Even though we would have already been friends in another place, it was still kinda like meeting for the first time... or at least after a prolonged absence in which both people could have changed a lot.
Anyway, something was going on and I think it had to do with us (me and Jei) finding/meeting Knuckles, because he seemed to know his way around and seemed to be in charge of what we were doing. We went inside this museum or exhibition of some sort, which was either closed down or after hours because it was deserted and the lights were dimmed right down or off. There were these creepy animatronic 'mascots' around the place that seemed inactive, but they'd wake up and speak if you walked past or moved near them or spoke to them. There was this blue bear (I think) one that I accidentally set off and I was intrigued so I tried to get it to talk to me, but Knuckles yanked me away and gave me such a death glare, as if he knew those things were dangerous and not to be trusted and I was an idiot and endangering us all n.n;;
So I just followed meekly as we went down some steps into a dusty basement-like area with old antique wooden furniture and stuff. There was some sort of barrier thing, and Knuckles and Jei/Sonic needed to run off to do something across the room, so Knuckles instructed me to do something with the barrier that involved tying some rope around part of it with a special kind of knot and securing it with a metal pin.
I tried. I messed around with it for what seemed to be an eternity, and I almost had it, but it just wasn't working out and I was desperate to do something right ^^; Not my lucky day. Knuckles came back over and huffed very annoyed before grabbing the pin and doing it himself. Then he just grunted at me and started to walk away.
I called after him lamely, saying "I'm not stupid! Honestly, I'm not!" and I was terribly afraid that if I wasn't intelligent enough he'd think I was a faker and not really Tails and then he'd hate me. I wanted to explain that in this place, this life, with this world's experiences, I wasn't a genius and there's a lot I had yet to learn, but I couldn't find the words so I just kinda looked at him with pathetic puppy eyes.
After what felt like forever, and I was giving up on ever redeeming myself, he finally softened and said "Come here..." and held his arms out to me begrudgingly to give me a hug. I can't describe how wonderful that simple little hug felt, even if he was rolling his eyes and muttering all at the same time. It refilled my happiness meter and I was bouncy and cheerful as we moved on.
There was lots more to the dream, which comes to me in disoriented fragments, and Knuckles was a grumpy sod the whole time (and Jei/Sonic was kinda "Heyyyy... *scowl*" about Knuckles hugging me ^^; Ahahaha), but that part I remember most.
It reminded me how much I do actually miss Knuckles and how much of a good friend I feel he was/is to Sonic and Tails despite his nature and not being around that often. I'd be so happy if we found Knuckles... even if he wasn't 'our' Knuckles, although that would naturally be best of all. One day maybe we'll find a 'kin with that identity. It'd be so awesome. Knux is great and I admire and respect him a whole lot, even if I'd also be a little intimidated by him... ^^;
Alright, that's enough irrelevant rambling for now I guess!

I always enjoyed hearing about how important Amy was to you despite the rivaly you guys had, so likewise I really loved reading about how, in your dream, you broke through Knuckles' shell, so to speak.
