A Dream

Saturday morning, I got up very early, randomly browsed the internet, and then decided that it was a worthier use of my time to go back to bed. So, I crawled into bed with [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants, and went back to sleep.

I dreamed that she and I, and a number of other people we know, were henchmen in the employ of a Supervillain, as played by Alan Cumming. Except that I am reasonably certain that it was actually Alan Cumming, as opposed to a character being played by. But anyway. The uniforms were good.

We were doing the standard looting and pillaging thing, but we were trying to fund research being done at our Supervillain Compound. This research eventually yielded the secret weapon in our Overarching Supervillain Plot, which was that we were going to make everyone in the world bisexual. The way that we would accomplish this was by way of a toxin introduced first to world leaders and then to everyone else that would turn its victim into a dinosaur in seven days. The antidote to this toxin, which our organization was kind enough to have broadcast over all the major media, was to ingest the sexual fluids of the sex you did not usually prefer. (Presumably, you would have to continue to do this on a pretty regular basis, or oops! Dinosaur.) So that was it. The world had two choices: bisexual, or dinosaur. It then became the duty of the henchmen to try and save as many people from dinosaurhood as possible, which was fun. And then, when that phase had passed, we were assigned to dinosaur patrol, which involved cruising the city streets in our supervillain hovercraft and shooting the rampaging dinosaurs. My takeaway from this part was something on the order of "Wow. There are way more dinosaurs out there than you would have thought."

Later we got the idea that if we developed mind control helmets for the dinosaurs, then we could recruit some of them into the Supervillain Army, but I'm not sure that ever really worked out all that well.

I hope the people with a three on the Kinsey Scale can shapeshift back and forth at will, as some kind of reward.

See, I told you there'd be a cadre of "true" bisexuals ready to oppose your Evil Plan! They already get enough flak in the current world...

No, I think he's down with the Evil Plan. I think he's going to lead *our* dinosaur armies.

(Also, more same-sex kissing, please!)

Fine Fine Fine,
We will hold a Combo Potluck and Same-sex Kissing night, during which we will drunkenly refine Your Evil Plan.

Sound fun?

Wait. Let me think about that.
*a femtosecond passes*
Yes. I approve. Let's do that.

Thank you for not breaking local Causality by approving before I posted.
That freaks the mundane. heh.

I'm in process of re-applying for my timeline manipulation license. I lost it a couple of local years back, in the now-infamous Pancake Incident. [livejournal.com profile] gamera_spinning could tell you all about it.

Outstanding. Nice to have friends who dream as batshit weird as me... though I have to say, 'bisexual or dinosaur' is a stroke of subconscious genius I don't think I can beat!

It was totally a statement about evolutionary/adaptive behavior, I think. Or, it was like the porn version of X-men. One or the other.

It seemed like the obvious choice, and yet. So. Many. Dinosaurs.

Homophobia aside, perhaps there's also a part of the collective subconscious that kind of wants to get behind the dinosaur thing.

Sure. But it still comes down to more sex or more rending and killing, and of those options, I know what I want. :)

But. But. Where do dinosaur babies come from? Sheesh. You'd think they were hatched or some--

Oh. Never mind.

Probably shouldn't ask, but you know me...

What about those of us that prefer their biological recreation with a bit of mild rending? I'd probably just stay Dino & have a jolly jurassic time.




Oh yeah, surprise! I actually made it online!

yea but if you could have gotten the mind control to work on the dino's lol

I don't know if you've ever read Warren Ellis' Global Frequency comic book or not. But there was a story in one issue about an alien information virus that was taking over the minds of everyone NYC (or LA can't quite remember)via tv/radio/internet signals.

Anyway the only way to inocculate people from the effects of said virus was to broadcast a counter signal. The only after effect though was that everyone who heard the counter signal would become bisexual. Which was much better than being mindcontroled alien drone thingy's and what not...

Nope, haven't seen it. Sounds worthy though. *adds to media list*

clarification, please

Wait. I can rend and kill even if I'm *not* a dinosaur, right? Just so long as it do it bisexually?

Sure. It's just that as a human, you have an option not to.

It's all about diversification of response strategies, babydoll.

In which I am amused

oh?
Is the another nickname she'd like better?

But as Dinos we *do* have the normal instincts necessary to fornicate, right?

I don't know, man. I mean, dinosaurs did reproduce for a while, but then, they kind of, well, stopped, and all. Also, being reptiles and all, it is not entirely clear to me whether or not they enjoyed it.

Re: clarification, please

Ah, but here's the thing- in your plan it seemed that we'd be intelligent enough to realize what was necessary to change back, and therefore likely intelligent enough to enjoy ourselves otherwise. Maybe that's just my twisted interpretation.
