Another shoutout to the demons and monsters that lived under your bed/in your closet and actually obeyed all the arbitrary rules you invented to keep yourself safe, like “if light is touching me at all I can’t be harmed” or “if I’m stepping on carpet I am untouchable” or “if I move my hand in a particular pattern while I walk, I’m off-limits during my voyage through the dark house to the bathroom”.
That was really considerate of them, especially given how biased in your favor those rules were.

After I saw Monsters, Inc I decided it made sense that because they had to go through the doors, if my closet door was open it wouldn’t work, so I left it cracked open every night.
Weirdly enough I’d always had a lot of nightmares before that and after not so much so yeah, shout out to the monsters.
