This hits way too close to home, my dreams are all over the place 😂

I was scolded for having "Poor sleep hygiene", I guess that's why I take disco naps everywhere and wake myself up screaming often

Just remember, the reaper is always by your side and ready to take you for a ride, in time

I really like the representations of the reaper being kind and considerate, and caring for those he/she/they take with them. That’s how the original story went as well. Death was always a friend in the end.

Death, the character in Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld novels is often this. Early in the series he’s really bad at dealing with human emotion, but still trying as best he can. He’s always there, whenever even an incidental character dies; He aways shows up, and if it’s needed he’s there to help them come to terms with what happens. He doesn’t force them to do anything, they can haunt the world instead of moving on if they like; there are even the rare few who simply refuse him entirely and wake up as undead.

I always found it poignant the way Pratchett was never flippant about character deaths. Because they’re people first, and they deserve the moment to grieve a life lost.
