LamechialThis is my submission for the OMOCAT Original Headspace contest.
Rather than a vast world of fantasy and adventure, I chose to focus on the general aspect of Sunny's Headspace being a place of escapism and dangerous comfort in my submission. For me, escapism is being in a place like my bedroom. Compared to the lands of exploration in his Sunny's dreams, it may seem very tiny, cramped, and not exciting at all. However, being in a confined space like this brings me the best feelings of comfort and safety I could ever have. To be mostly alone and doing whatever I want is something I don't believe I could ever grow tired of. While I do have fun and adventurous dreams like Sunny sometimes, I would feel happier being in a more down-to-earth, quieter place with no responsibility to follow a quest. I'd choose to have no doors in my Headspace; there would be no way in or out, but I would also have the visual evidence for the peace of mind that no one could intrude in my space. There'd be only a window on a wall to look outside. The view would be of my neighborhood to know that I still live in a civilization surrounded by other humans, but it would always be dark out with nobody about since nighttime is truly the best time for quietness and relaxation. Much like the Big Yellow Cat watching over Neighbor's Room, I am guarded by giant, even cuddlier versions of the two stuffed penguins I've had since I was a toddler and am admittedly still attached to. I would be sitting or laying on my bed most of the time since my own bed is, in my opinion, the most comfortable place to be if I had to choose something more specific. I would also be using my laptop a lot, just to surf the internet and interact with media. Perhaps I would also keep some physical books and drawing supplies for the occasional change of pace. The figures on the floor are my friends to interact with if I ever need more company than what I could achieve online. My Headspace may seem more like White Space in all physical aspects, but I would feel content staying in a place like this without ever leaving. After all, I would have no need for any more excitement than what I could achieve for myself with what I have in my Headspace. In a way, it is just as dangerous of a place as Sunny's Headspace because it can suck the Dreamer into its world without ever letting go.
