Sleep paralysis is a hard thing to draw for me, because most of it makes no sense once you try to explain it.
However, I tried it here. Sometimes, when you’re experiencing such a thing, you know what’s coming for you, and you want to look away, but you can’t.

my worst experience w/ sleep paralysis tw creepy
idk if I posted abt it but it happened a few months ago during the summer . I was asleep, as most when encounters of sleep paralysis happen, but I was dreaming that I was standing at the top of the staircase that leads up to my loft. it was mostly dark except for a dim blue light coming from behind me. At the bottom of the staircase there was this….huge rabbit (like think of a really creepy Easter bunny costume, but with nobody in it, so its limp) floating up my staircase at me, the body itself not making any motion, but it was coming towards me. I could only watch it from the corner of my eye and I couldn’t move my head or scream or run away, to a point where I couldn’t even move a finger
I only get sleep paralysis when I’m back home and Ive had a few other encounters but that’s the worst I’ve had it’s rly strange but yeah there’s me story

Indian Giver
You’re an Indian giver in the way you love: Everything you give, you take away.
What is an Indian giver?
A person who gives something and than wants it back.
what did the Indians want back?
More specifically, the term “Indian giver” arose from a series of incidents in which European colonists would borrow food and supplies from the local First Nations, then turn around and go “oh, we thought it was a gift” when the locals later tried to collect on the loan.
Modern history books like to bang on about “cultural misunderstandings”, but if you look at contemporary records, it’s clear that there was no misunderstanding - the colonists totally understood that they were being extended a loan, and simply didn’t want to pay it back.
The myth that Native Americans liked to swindle people by giving them gifts and later claiming that the gift had actually been a loan - hence, “Indian giver” - thus developed in order to retroactively justify the colonists stiffing the locals when those loans came due.
(In the interest of clarity, interest-bearing loans were not commonly practiced by North America’s First Nations at the time, though they did exist among some groups; in this context, the term “loan” simply means “I give you something you need right now, and you give me back something of equal value at some specified or unspecified future date”.)
Whoa…..
This got really educational
^^ I’m glad it did too. I’ve heard this phrase all my life and now I can educate people on it
Not saying that anymore. Thanks for the lesson!
I figured as much.
