It’s much easier for me to sleep when I view it as… something that doesn’t take time. Like the times in my life I most happily slept was during the summer when all the days bled into each other and I could, like, pause an album, go to sleep, then wake up and pick right back up where I left off on the album without feeling like any significant time had passed. Because the idea of spending time unconscious instead of conscious is so miserable to me

But like the concept of being a wizard Harry Potter style is cool enough
And there’s not enough consistent warfare / evil threats to make it worse than ATLA or Percy Jackson
It’s just that the way the series develops and world builds and such is fucking stupid in a lot of ways iirc. But the concept would be fine enough
yeah but the more you examine the harry potter world the less is actually makes sense. i’d be methods of rationalitying it and then accidentally create a world-destroying paradox

Wreck it Ralph 2 would be better but also glances at the modern gaming industry
Ye exactly
While that’s true, you could most likely manage to find a way to upload yourself online and effectively become immortal beyond the reach of your computer’s origin as per the second movie.

That’s basically what I’m saying
If Harry Potter Was Good it’d be cool
Though idk how you would solve the issue that wizards literally don’t even have to hide from muggles at all but they do it anywayd
It also becomes easier for me to sleep when I’m sick and I view sleeping as “spending time repairing my illness”. Or when I view it as “going to go dream”. Like when I’m able to conceptualise it as doing something rather than not doing something. Anything but putting my consciousness to the void.

There was a time where I viewed each individual day as its own parcel and going to sleep was just transporting myself to another day. And it never felt like I experienced the days in order. Like I felt a pseudo-amnesia when I woke up. I’d have to orient myself, I’d have to go “okay what day have I woken up in now”. I never had any hallucinated memories “from the future” or whatever but it felt like I’d experienced “a future” and now had come back to a random day
Skulduggery Pleasant tackles that issue really well where some people want to “protect” normal people while others think that’s stupid and want to either retreat into isolation or else take rule because their powers give them a superiority conflict. Harry Potter’s answer is just “they’d ask us to do everything” and even the characters who don’t care about secrecy still maintain it for ??? reasons.

Can we put Worm on this list, I’d definitely choose Worm over any of these despite the triple world ending threats attacking major metropolitan areas with regularity.

Like I was experiencing my life in a random order. Like I was jumping between random “people” I could be, independent of time, where each “person” was a different day’s me. You can see me saying stuff about it in mafia games from then. “I’m sleeping now so a different May will have to answer your question tomorrow”
It was like I didn’t have a continuity of consciousness from sleeping to waking up. Kind of hte opposite of when I had ultracontinuity and it felt like no time had passed at all

Now I think I’m mostly just normal about sleeping. No weird perceptual stuff

Though I still do hate it. Maybe if I got a new complex it’d be easier to sleep

im not sure what the plan was sending fucking dementors to Harry with the muggles that seems like an even worse idea
