Intro
Q: Any troubles or worries you have recently (asked by 🧨)
🐉: Recent troubles?
🐨: I’m having a hard time falling asleep
🧨: Ohhh, a very normal worry. (🐉, 🐨: 😂😂😂😂) I mean that in a good way btw!! We can continue the discussion! So, why / how are you not falling asleep?
🐨: I dunno
🧨: You don’t know? Um, OK. We can’t continue the discussion then. That’s no good, I was looking forward to this!
🐨: I can’t sleep for 12 hours after going to bed
🧨: Wait, so you don’t go to your bed for 12 hours?
🐉 random insert: I have dreams wayy too often!
[still talking to 🐨] 🧨: So you’re a light sleeper?
🐨: Yeah
[talking to 🐉] 🧨: What do you dream about?
🐉: Going to Disney[land]
🧨: So it was a wish fulfilled! You’ve wanted to go so it’s like your wish was granted, that’s a good dream!
🐉: Yeah, I wanted to write my dreams down…. But 🐨 told me something, lucid dreams can be scary
🧨: What?
🐉: That, if you write your dreams down, it becomes lucid dreams.. Like you will remember it and becomes part of your memory
🧨: Ohh~ OK. That’s not good?
🐨: It sounds dangerous
🧨: Why dangerous?
🐨: It will affect your heart or something…
🧨: If you try to remember your dreams?
🐉: Yeah, so 🐨 stopped me
🐨: Like, you’ll only have nightmares if you write / remember your dreams.
🧨: Really? Oh, so you’re doing the opposite then, you’re controlling what you dream. Like, “what will I dream about today” something like that? (🐨: Mm) Ohhh, I get it now.
🐉: Doesn’t that sound scary? / 🐨: Yes yes yes yes
🧨: That is scary! So 🐨 not falling asleep easily and sleeping very light is because you had dreams?
🐨: Yeah. Death game
🐉, 🧨: Death game?
🧨: That’s a nightmare then!
🐉: It sounds like there would be a prize?
🐨: I had to try and escape..
🧨: What was the result?
🐨: I found a backdoor route and decided to escape from there
🐉: Escape… / 🧨: Did you properly get outta there?
🐨: I woke up before that
🧨: Ohh, right right
🐉: I heard it’s better if you’re dreaming of being chased / running from murder
🧨: Oh true, you can turn it around in your dream
🐉: Yeah yeah. So nightmares can be good
🧨: But actually, just try to sleep ‘kay
🐉: True!
🧨: I heard that it’s best you don’t look at screens 30 mins before you go to bed
🐨: Ah, yeah
🧨: Do your best OK
🐨: Mmm / 🐉: OK
🧨: We’re gonna be busy but try to sleep well yeah
🐨: Mmm / 🐉: OK

🧨: THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!
🧨: Do you know what day it was yesterday guys? It was Labour Thanksgiving Day!
🐉: Everyone was on break
🧨: Yes, we have people working everyday so it’s a day of appreciating them for their hard work and expressing our gratitude! When we go to restaurants, there’s staff working there (🐉: Yes); people working in supermarkets (🐉: Yes!); and farmers who work on the produce. It’s because these people work that we have days off. So we should thank all humans (🐉: OK!) THANK YOU EVERYONE!
🐉: Thank you~ You’re all working hard!
🧨: So we’re gonna express our gratitude to people! Remember, this is your personal best, if it weren’t for this person I wouldn't be where I am, or they really supported you and expressing your thanks, so let’s get into it~

🐉: For me, it’s all the actors!
🧨: All actors, that includes me too?
🐉: Of course!
🧨: Wow, thank you!
🐉: You know, the happiness I feel when I’m watching dramas.. I’m really thankful to [actors] for making me feel that way. When you’re watching a drama or movie you’re leaving reality for a while. Of course, you still feel like you’re watching it but after finishing it you think, “Ah, I can take another step further” or you feel grateful for the time you spent watching something. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
🧨: Movies do expand your perspective sometimes (🐨: Yeah!) and they are very relatable and you get emotional too.
🐉: That’s right, so thank you very much~
🧨: So you also thought that when watching my work?
🐉: Of course of course!
🧨: Thank you!! I dunno about 🐨 though

🐨: ME?!
🐉: You have one.
🐨: Manga artistsssssszzz
🐉: It was manga artists, I thought he’ll say “rice”
🐨: When I read a manga or book (🐉: Wait, he’s talking like me).. you’re leaving reality (🐉: Oi oi! / 🧨: he’s saying the same thing you said!) for a while.. That’s good.
🧨: I seeee!
🐉: You weren’t listening
🐨: The characters that appear too, very creative! There are some things that are similar
🐉: True, manga is a place where dreams can come true
🐨: Plus you can see the foreshadowing and plot develop
🐉: Manga is like going on a treasure hunt
🧨: Treasure hunt?? / 🐨: Righhttt
🐨: And manga… they have assistants right, but the one thinking [of the story] is yourself. That’s super cool~
🧨: It’s true, they foreshadow a lot of things
🐨: You don’t get tired of it
🧨: You do think there could be a world like that [in mangas], so you might spend a lot of time thinking about it
🐨: Yes yes yes, that’s sick
🧨: That’s awesome
🐨: ODA-SAN IS AWESOME! [One Piece, 🐨 's fav manga, is written by Oda Eiichiro]
🐉: Oh, you said it
🐨: Ah 🫢
🧨: You mentioned a specific name
🐉: Manga takes a lot of skill, specific skills
🧨: Yeahh
🐨: They are~
🐉: Japan’s Treasure right
🐉: Yeah~ / 🐨: Mmhm
🧨, 🐨: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

🧨: The people I’m thanking is…
🐨: Make it good
🧨: Of course! The people I’m thanking are Uber Eat Drivers!! Thank you so much!
🐉: UBER EATS!
🧨: I always thought, if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be alive. In the rain, a storm, or an earthquake! In thunder! They still deliver~
🐉 [following 🧨’s dramatics]: When you open the door, they are
🧨: They are there! / 🐉: Tthere
🧨: I am careful. I note in the delivery to just leave it at the door. I don’t thank them directly but I’ll tell them via the intercom “THANK YOU!” “Because of you my meal today is sorted!”
“Thanks for coming all the way to my apartment!”... I actually don’t say that
🐉: You didn’t?
🧨: So, with that in mind, “THANK YOU~”
🐉: Ohhhh
🧨: Especially on days when you’re tired you know… We’re not like 🐉 who has his mom cook meals for him every day… So Uber is like our mom.
🐨: That’s true
🐉: Uber is your mom / 🧨: Uber is my mom
🧨: Thank you so much!
🐉: Great! 👏👏👏
🧨: Yeah! 👏👏👏
🐉: You think that?
🧨: I DO!
🐉: You said it?
🧨: I said it!
🧨, 🐉: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
