I had this dream last night that Rorschach had... not fallen in love with me, but found himself attracted to me. Because of the way he is, this meant he spent a lot of time hiding from me, not getting near me, etc. (He didn't, however, curse me and scream at me as I imagine he would should he ever find himself in this situation). I was some kind of, again, not costumed adventurer or whatever, but in the know nontheless. We, along with Silk Specter and Nite Owl, found out that Vedict was going to blow up the "Owl" building (something I find hilarious because a) I keep trying to figure out how they're going to change the ending in my dreams and this is the second scenario I've come up with, and b) Owl building? Looked a lot like the Owl ship, only it was a building, and it wasn't until I saw it outside that I realized what it was.).

Anyway, at some point I had a run-in with the Comedian, and I sorta tore him a new one, except it was really John Winchester, so he wasn't a sociopath. Also, before the building blew up, Rorschach and I had a moment (I, like, helped him get out of a literal tight spot or something, kind of drawing him out like he was an injured animal or whatever). We held hands as we escaped the building. I got to saftey (we were trying ot evacuate the building) and then it blew up. I ended up in some kind of shelter across the street and spent the rest of the dream alternately trying to help with survivors, fight my way back across the street to help find anyone who may have survived, and worrying about what happened to Rorschach.

So, yeah. My typical weird dream that didn't let me get much rest last night. It left me wishing for the billionth time that the world in "Watchmen" wasn't quite so completely f-ed up. I personally think that the fact the world they live in is so incredibly dark and grim, etc., it weakens the rest of the story. I like the idea of "this is what would happen if people in real life became vigilantes" because, I think that even without the window dressing of complete despair, every personality is perfectly realized. It's the extraneous ones (esp. the psychologist who is so "cheerful" and "happy" until he Rorschach makes me realize the world sucks, and the butch lesbian who randomly starts wailing away on her girlfriend in the streets) that just make the whole thing seem so... unreal and stupid to me that it sort of ruins the rest.

Also, the grimdark comic. It's just....

I miss the MSPaint version of Watchmen I got from
