Ok, so after looking over everything written for this for the third time, I've got some ideas.

It was mentioned in one of the posts that MC was either murdered, or nearly murdered, but either way, came back seemingly completely unharmed later. Now, completely avoiding any and all grimdark implications from that, that does imply either a Princess Bride style "mostly dead" sequence that hasn't been written yet, or the fun option with more story potential, at least MC, and maybe all of the class have a respawn mechanic. (It probably can't be everyone in the universe with a respawn mechanic, because otherwise the king wouldn't have killed MC, knowing that he would just respawn.)

Maybe it's automatic, or there's a delay until after whatever battle or event that killed them is over, or maybe someone has to do something in order for their fallen friend/friends to be revived. Either way, it opens up story potential and humorous character opportunities.

For example, a student who's genuinely trying to be a useful member of the team, but who's comically terrible at everything, or is a glass cannon who's really good at doing certain things, but has such a low health pool that any form of combat is practically guaranteed to result in him being incapacitated for the next few hours until he respawns/gets revived/recovers, at which point he goes right back to working on whatever it is he's trying to accomplish.

The standard 'entire class gets isekai'd to a fantasy world and the outcast MC is basically discarded' anime setting, where the MC, now assumed dead, decides to instead help the class of Heroes in the shadows, making sure they live up to what the people need.

However, the entire class knows that he's alive and are hellbent on dragging that son of a bitch back into the spotlight and to give him the recognition he deserves.

(And maybe because he was basically the entire class's Little Guy™.)

Words cannot describe how glad I was when I first read this and saw that it wasn't related to Misty Island Rescue.

*sees prompt 29* Ah. And now I have the Misty Island Rescue theme playing in my head. Regardless, this'll be fun.

Traintober 2024

#traintober #traintober2024 #tttetraintober

Here's my personal Traintober list for 2024! I've given it to a few people who have asked but since a lot of people are asking, I've decided to release it so people can start to plan.

I had a few ideas I wanted to get out of my head, so this list is what resulted. Feel free to use it if you want or make your own.

Good luck and I can't wait to see what you do with the prompts if you decide to participate.

Just learned about garden path sentences.

They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.

So we get gems like

The old man the boat. (The old people are manning the boat)

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. (The apartment complex is home to both married and single soldiers, plus their families)

The prime number few. (People who are excellent are few in number.)

The cotton clothing is usually made of grows in Mississipi. (The cotton that clothing is made of)

The man who hunts ducks out on weekends. (As in he ducks out of his responsibilities)

We painted the wall with cracks. (The cracked wall is the one that was pained.)
