What's your choice of a refuge from reality?
>>25940323
Marijuana.
it'll make you cool with reality. Put you in it, but makes it enjoyable
>>25940323
used to be fanfiction but not really anything now.
>>25940407
It's really hard to find good fanfiction. I sometimes try to write my own but don't publish anything because I don't think people would enjoy my personal wish-fulfillment.
I drink magical henbane beer, now reality is more fun than any schizoid fantasy I could ever have.
sometimes i imagine im in the zombie apocalypse rescuing people and being a leader. people actually want me around to help them survive.

>What's your choice of a refuge from reality?
I like to daydream that I've somehow gotten into North Korea. All of Kim Jong-Un's closest allies have sided with me, and together we bring North Korea's leader to the balcony of his palace. Before a crowd of one million chongbeasts, I slit his throat and proclaim myself the new leader.
After that, I either fuck all the woman or order all of his military to attack south korea. Pretty fun desu, kills about 20 minutes once I really get going
>>25940323
I used to do this when I was 12.
I can't do it anyone. I'm just not imaginative enough.
>>25940323
Am i the only one who's to dreamy to be normie but too realistic to be really artistic person a see stuff?
>>25940323
Star Wars universe.
Throughout my childhood, I had this elaborate fantasy where the kids have taken over and all adult have been sent to slavery in Africa and Australia. There are thousands of new countries, run by children, with different political systems and they're all at war with each other. I would usually imagine I was a soldier fighting in the war. Now that I'm over 18 I can't get into the fantasy anymore. I kept increasing the age at which you became in an adult and had to be enslaved as I got older. But now it seems like 18 is the highest I can go, because after that you're pretty obviously an adult.
>>25940323
A reality similar to this one except my life isn't fucked.

But what about menchildren

>tfw kiss empty air pretending I'm kissing a girl
>tfw lie on my back and hold my arm out and then folded at a ninety degree angle to pretend I'm holding a girl who's lying against me
>tfw go through each board on 4chan pretending I'm giving a tour to my girlfriend and giving her a humorous little summary about each one
>tfw watching home videos on my laptop of my family and me as a kid and pretending a qt girl is sitting beside me saying "awww" and smiling and asking who the different people are
>tfw walking home alone and pretending she's walking beside me and think up lengthy dialogue and occasionally laugh at something she or I said in the imagined dialogue
>tfw imagine meeting her family and having them like me
>tfw imagine her meeting my family and us sleeping and talking quietly in my room at home
>tfw imagine her and my mom preparing coffee after dinner and watching her laugh at something my mom says
>tfw imagine making her mom laugh and making her father a little annoyed when she and her mother tell him that he's probably boring me and that I probably want to get to bed after the long journey
>tfw developing several lengthy scenarios involving me and my qt crush and replaying them mentally each night while adding minor details and more dialogue and extending them a little further each day

>fantasizing about the 2 most normie fantasy universes
If you're a robot you are expected at least to have developed some decent taste in art or whatever after years of isolation
>>25941284
Also, right now I daydream about things in my life changing around when I was a teenager. This girl I had a crush on and I got engaged, and now we live together in a small cabin. We have two children. Everything is very quiet and nice, there are no worries for us, and we have lots of fun cooking food, kissing, and playing games together. Sometimes I use dissociatives to maximize the fantasy. While I was on MXE, I could actually see the cabin and my fiancee very vividly. I'm still in contact with my pretend fiancee and I haven't told her this is my fantasy.
>>25940323
I was semi-obsessed with avatar when it came out.
I wanted to explore a magical new place, where things just don't quite make sense, and don't have to, where you can be an advanced being and let loose the primal instincts of wanting to run, be free, climb around and do dangerous shit and have a body strong enough not to require months and months of rehabilitation after messing around too hard. It wasn't even about catgirl either, I just want to be free and daring.
>>25941441
you sad sack of titties
I think about living in a minecraft like world. Digging underground and making a comfy ass dwelling. Not worrying about bills or people, just killing an endless amount of animals, bringing my earnings to my furnace room. Tending to farms and animals. I just want to die and wake up in a cave
My fantasy of choice is usually being an Other from the Night Watch series. I walk around, pretending I've cast Sphere of Inattention, and that's why no one is looking at me and instinctively stepping out of my way. I fantasize about being able to slip into the shadows and walk through walls, absorbing the negative emotions of the people around me, hanging werewolves and vampires.
>>25941381
It's time to wake up, Anon
>>25940323
I repeat the word "effort" several times in my mind.
>>25940323
I have a dream where i'm an anonymous slasher which finds beautiful girls and scars them with knife, usually the face. I dont kill them just cut their face deep enough that operation wont fix anything. Everytime she looks to the mirror she remembers exact moment where her life has ended.
>>25941381
All this but with ponies. At least I'm not unhappy, I just enjoy doing it
>>25941862
I hope you die tonight, but you die happy, you pathetic filth
>>25941381
Please stop anon, for your sake
>>25941892
I hope you enjoy your chocolate milk and cookies child anon

I don't think my heart could take such disappointment every single night
>>25941955
It actually feels pretty good, I don't only do it at night. I do it before taking a nap and just lazing around in bed.
When you feel drowsy or sleep deprived its the best because you aren't fully conscious, I even dreamed about her once or.twice.
Being a dictator. I want to loved by the people of my country. I want people to look at posters of me and think "I want to be like him". I want to create youth organisations which promote and encourage ideals I hold myself.
In real life, I don't have the balls. If the opportunity ever came, I would probably be the one second to the dictator or something.
Its probably because I read a biography about Hitler's life, his thoughts and future ideas prior to becoming the fuhrer. Really interesting read actually, I could relate strongly, more than to any person I've ever read about. Not a stormfag at all by the way.
>>25942038

Please tell me more about ramstein and your sonic recolour
>>25940323
I dream of being one of the only humans left roaming in an exo suit in a post apocalyptic wasteland killing mutant animals with a loyal partner gf.
>>25942066
I read the book when I was 12. I'm 19. I never was a stormfag but the thought of having absolute power in a country never left me - reimagining cities, the ideals, even the haircuts people have.
>>25942080
Fuck that sounds great

HI WHITNEY
YOU LOGGED INTO SKYPE AS I WAS POSTING THIS

So i'm not the only one huh. That's bretty gud!
>no it's not
>>25941381
This is probably the saddest post I've read on /r9k/ in a while. Probably because all of the things you mentioned are realistically attainable.
>>25941381

Truly living the dream
Daily reminder that Virtual Reality will change the human race FOREVER.
Middle-earth fanfiction.
I'm not really so great because I'm not really interested in thinking of plot devices because it sucks the fun out of it and feels like a chore.
I WISH so bad I could draw the world I have in my head though, I fucking hate autism.
>>25943240
Agreed, its not even overhyped. I own a DK2, I'll be damned if the motion sickness makes me avoid it.
Being a legendary hero who forges an empire through sheer force of personality.
I love Harry Potter but the fans are fucking annoying.
Most of them wouldn't even like Harry in real life. I wonder if it would be a lot less popular without Hermione or Neville.
I dont do this as much as when i was younger but around he age of twelve I used to daydream about a world where people would teleport from place to place but they had to go to airport-esq building to do it, the machines would store you then and there as a file send the file over then destroy your body and you would be recreated on the other side (later found out this is know as the swampman problem) but in this world a western terrorist had hacked in and stolen files for 1000's of people traveling and stopped them being recreated on the other side so he was kinda holding them hostage but on a hardrive, no one knew who he was and id pretend i was an military adviser that was hunting him down id mostly make it up as i went along.

My only hobbies and the best things there are in life.
I'm thankful for having what I have.
The cheap stuff. Makes sitting at a computer interesting or at least more amusing. Been doing Ct5K last few weeks so I only drink hard liquor mixed with water now in an attempt to lose weight.
Trying to not go on all-day benders anymore because WDs fucking SUCK.
I always daydream about having online friends to play games with.
>>25940323
My escape is dreams. I'm only happy when I'm asleep, dreaming of surreal worlds. It's so beautiful. For the last half a year I've been sleeping about 14 hours a day, since I'm abusing sleep medication. When I wake up I just try to pass the time until I can go to sleep again.

>>25940323
i created a world inside my head that i live in half the time, i have a bunch of pictures and songs that i like to listen to/look at to help me visualize
i keep thinking to myself that that's where im gonna go after i die, and because of that i'm actually really eager to die.
>>25944703
Tell me about your world, anon
>>25940323
Imagining having complete control over my body's functions. the possibilities are literally endless.
>>25940323
To me, the world is always a big war game.
Any landscape I see, I imagine it as filled with fighter jets soaring across the air, tanks rolling down the streets, and fuckhuge railguns all over the place. It doesn't matter where I am, there is always a secret silo launching an ICBM under the nearest parking lot or flat area.
Pretty autistic, but hey, one can dream the world will be like this in the near future. Granted, this came after playing a LOT videogames.

My refuge from reality?
I make an general AI. It becomes self-aware and develops a super-intelligence, yet remains completely loyal to me.
The AI serves me an I become a proxy God through it. I set up a space station on the moon and begin to explore our solar system... gathering resources from the asteroid belt and planetary bodies around.
I become a "one man country" in relationship to Earth.
>>25940323
Weed and Harry Potter. Occasionally I'll read the Warhammer 40k lore and masturbate to Slaaneshian fantasies but that's about it.
>>25940323
I used to do that too, now I have a helium tank, better dont go that way

Escapism does not do it for me anymore. I am just staring into the abyss
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maladaptive_daydreaming
I live in my own fantasy world with an extensive canon with well established characters and timeline. Living there is better than my real life.
Like to think I'am a person involved in secret operation with the homelessness, drug addicts, prostitutes, and so on. Usually goes from one bad side of my town to the other bad side. But it all ends with me going home alone. Too beta to pay for sex and stand up for these people.
>>25946360
You have to be rich
>>25940323
>fantasize about living in the 24th century and serving aboard a starship or space station
>tfw you eventually realize you'd also fail to get into starfleet and just be a NEET on earth
>tfw I've been compulsively imagining kidnapping a girl I had a crush on in high school for years
I would never do it, but it is cathartic to think about.
>>25940323
I wish Harry Potter wasn't such a normie fandom. I've really gotten into it recently, but I don't want to be associated with the majorically shitty fanbase
>>25940441
There are probably people with the same "wish-fulfillment" as you. So they very likely would enjoy it.
>>25941381
>kiss empty air pretending I'm kissing a girl

Feels much better, pleb
>>25940323
Are you me? I do the same thing anon.
>tfw daydream about my usual life but with a specific power (time travel, time stop, shapeshifting, etc)
it actually makes me feel a bit hopeful
Fuckig me. I deal with depression by getting high and imaginging im percy jackson and get to bang annabeth. It probably makes it worse, but fuck it
I have a really complex and elaborate world that I spend 90% of my time into just daydreaming
I could write a book since I've been developing it since my preteen years but I'm a shit writer
>>25941381
This is some top shelf autism anon. Can I screen cap this and give it to my gf for her psychology class?
>>25940323
I am doing ponies. Escapism made by those is the greatest that exists.
>>25947009
It's getting gradually worse for me too. I think I'll actually kill myself if I stop having something to distract me from real life.

I always dream I'm a one of a kind supersoldier in a cool power suit that I created (like Tony stark) who goes around killing ISIS and orbital dropping into Syria like an ODST trooper
A good half of the time most or some of my attention is on a elaborately constructed fantasy world.
The thing is, I refresh or completely change it around once every 1 or 2 week.
Also I tend to have 2 to 4 unrelated worlds going at once.
Most revolve around superpowers, or at least give me a excuse to use my martial arts in my day to day life outside of training.
Current fantasy is about our world being sort of invaded by portals to a strange world where magic and monsters are real.
>tfw have an alternate reality in my head where I'm married to a straight Ellen Page and she loves me and helps me through my mental illness
>tfw can't fully commit to it so I always feel ashamed and pathetic for thinking these thoughts
I just want to let go and live in my head.

>>25941268
I frequently imagine I'm General Grievous hunting and killing jedi while commanding the droid army. But this time I woop Obi's ass and kill Dooku and Palpatine and assume top command. Then I kill Anakin and execute Order 66. I then take over the galaxy with the clone and droid armies. I also give myself an extra two arms.
A few years ago I'd daydream about waifus all the time. Now I can hardly do it if I tried. I miss the old days. Being "awake" in reality is shit.
I just wanna go back in time, invent a bunch of shit from 21st century and probably a bit earlier
Become regarded as a genius, finally be someone
>>25941381

"I knew it was all bull shit and they were just trying to mold me into cannon fodder for their wars."
-Steve-O from 56 minutes of S. L. C. Punk (1998)
You're getting played for a fool. Why don't you fantasize about something other than killing other people and risking getting killed yourself? Not to many other types of fantasies come to mind in today's video games and non-chick flick movies. Do not believe the old lie: it is honorable and fitting to die for one's country.
