Have you ever had a betrayal in a dream?

When I was a little kid, I formed the 'We hate boys' club, with my best friend, as I believe any reasonable girl would. We understood perfectly, that boys were mean, patronizing, vulgar, violent, disgusting and perverse. We would not look at them, or talk to them, we had each other and had the greatest, genuine time plotting various crimes and the end of the world together.
Sometime after the age of 13, my best friend said to me 'I don't hate boys anymore'. Baffled, I could not understand what was she saying. The quality of boys has not improved at all, they were still disgusting little vermins. How could my friend do something so utterly senseless, and betray me like this?
I couldn't put a finger on it, I started looking around for clues as why she would do this. She claimed that hating boys was 'childish'. And I could see that sometimes, interacting with male people was necessary, like when you had to listen to a professor, or go to church, or attend a family dinner, and I figured it would look somewhat silly to declare hate at each one of these events. So my friend was just trying to behave 'maturely' and look like a reasonable adult.
I still didn't think looking 'reasonable' and 'mature' was enough reason to stop hating boys. I continued to be the head and the only member of my 'we hate boys' club. Would not interact with one or remember one's name. If it made me look immature it still gave me the freedom not to be polite to the little parasites. If my friend valued looking 'reasonable' more than her personal freedom, that was her deal, and I would never agree with her on that issue.
Today, as I am older and wiser, I understand what happened back then. My friend was coming out to me as a heterosexual </3.

Throwback to when i visited a church for the first time at 4yo & found the votive candles beautiful so my mum said i can light one for someone. "So who'd you light your candle for?", she asked with a gentle smile, expecting me to name a family member like her or my grandma. My response was "Simba from The Lion King".

Used to watch a lot of Mythbusters during my teens; they had an episode where they demonstrated that you could layer two phone books together and it would be impossible to pull them apart. (To the point they got two semi trucks and tethered the books to them and I think it ended up either pulling the front bumper off one or it broke the cable; either way they didn’t separate).
I excitedly attempted to recreate this experiment myself with two Yellow Pages phone books (which I spent a little over an hour or so to layer each page over another) and discovered that in fact, it was impossible to pull them apart.
Fast forward to two months later and my parents grew tired of the monstrosity of a phone book I had made and wanted to trash it. My father picked it up and attempted to pull it apart until he turned red in the face but the beast would not give.
My mother attempted to unlayer some of the pages but quickly lost patience and also tried pulling it apart but it did not give.
We ended up throwing away the entire thing in a dumpster, the books still firmly stuck together. I feel sorry for any trash collectors who stumbled upon it.

I remember when I was 5 and didn’t know what a vocaloid was, I thought Hatsune Miku was a Disney princess.

When me and my cousins were younger, we had this blue giggle doll at my Grandma & Grandpa's house. When you pressed the hand it would start vibrating like crazy for a minute before giggling and saying "tickle me!" When we would play with it though, we'd throw it across the room when it began vibrating and take cover behind a couch, bed, table, etc. Like it was a nuclear bomb and we were all about to die when it said "tickle me!"(meaning that it exploded and we were all dead)

Story time when I was around four or five years old, I did ballet and the ballet instructor REALLY didn't like me and I think it was because I wore a brace and an eyepatch so my balance was all over the place anyways for the Nutcracker play I had to do, the Little Kids were the ✨sheep✨ except I had the special role. I did our stupid little dance routine and then at the end when all the other kids left the stage I had to pretend to be lost and this girl I think her name was Paige would run back onstage grab me and run away again and I was so good at pretending to be a dumb lost sheep that people thought I was ACTUALLY lost and it was actually the most humiliating thing in the world for tiny baby me

*based on a true*
while this is probably something that Doug would experience, it happened to me when I was in around the 3rd grade.
I would always act weird around my childhood crush who I will name Patti lol.
She was basically frustrated about the this kid that we knew since 2nd grade because around a year later, he slowly became an asshole towards few people. While she vented her frustration to me, I was mostly got distracted of her standing right next to me. I tried my best to pay remain attention on what she say so I wouldn’t make her think I was pretending to listen or just blatantly ignored her.
I’ll probably make more story time post with sketches feature Doug characters lol. If you wanna hear more.

When I was a kid I would go to garage sales with my mom and grandma and I saw this toy I wanted at one so I asked the price since it was unmarked and the lady said 25 cents, as I was getting my coins a lady came up beside me put one dollar down grabbed it from me and said keep the change. I am still salty about this, I was about nine at the time.

One day I decided to run away and live in our garden to avoid human responsibilities. The ants got into my packed lunch and then it rained so I came back home pretty quick hahaha.

So my father is completely fucking insane (and a terrible person but that's currently irrelevant) and when I was a kid I was weird and anxious about closets but less in a "oh no monsters!!" way and more a undiagnosed PTSD and paranoia way. Anyway, so my dad decided to best way to solve this problem was to unload his gun into my closet and "kill" the monsters, in front of me, at 7 years old. (Wild part is that it kinda worked???)
Anyway I feel like the obvious answer for who would do that is Lark but its objectively way funnier if Sparrow was the one to unload a fucking gun into a wall to make his weird son feel safe

when i was really young, and my mom listened to a lot of country, i was very into shania twain and specifically “man! i feel like a woman.” however, i always, always misheard “the best thing about being a woman” as “the best thing about a bee and a woman.”
“the best thing about a bee and a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun.”
i knew about bee movie ten years in advance is what i’m getting at.

when i was like seven or eight my dad took me to a roller derby event (odd attempt at bonding) and this event altered my brain chemistry. i thought it was so fucking cool and awesome and it just blew my lil brain that this was something done.
during one of the intermission thingies i went to the bathroom, and some of the women on the team were also in there. i went up to these very intimidating women who i just watched shove around other intimidating women, and i told them that i thought they were cool. they were so sweet and they asked my name and how i was. i remember saying something about being too much a crybaby to ever do roller derby and one of them immediately chimes in saying i could do anything i wanted.
i never got into roller derby unfortunately, but i love the sport and the community around it so much. and that bathroom conversation did more for my self esteem than any talk with my therapist

Funny kid story lol
Uhhhh
So as a kid I watched adventure time regularly, like every lunch and dinner I would watch it.
So I got to the episode “Apple Thief” I think that's what it's called and in the beginning Jake was cooking some food and I always thought that food looked SOO good.
The clip from the episode ⤵️
And I remember getting so mad at Finn because he complained about the smell even though it looked so good, so I asked my mom if she could cook something like that and she cooked something similar.
So when I was eating it I was just looking at the TV angrily because it was actually super good.
That's all lol
Little extra doodle ⤵️
