Not a Player Character then

reblog for the most chaos PC we can manage

This is exactly how it would go.

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

No see results, we die like artisans

#inheard this is to do with being used as a grow room for marijuana haha

#they need the outputs for heat lamps and grow lights and all kinds of stuff

This is the first place my mind went too. Dope growing operation, for sure.

Today’s mildly unusual word: Trypophobia

I have to say that even I might have to agree that this house has a few too many electrical outlets / power points.

…Honestly.

Meanwhile: “Trypophobia is a fear of or aversion to tightly packed patterns of holes or other similar patterns, such as those found in honeycombs, sea sponges, or soap bubbles.”

Also, sure, write a lavish breakfast scene if you want. Use it to load up a few Chekov's Guns and set them on the wall. Have a few members of the b-cast come in and introduce themselves throughout the scene, or even just phone up and ask when the heroine is meeting them for lunch. Have heroine and sister discuss important plot points.

But *use it for something*.

PACING IS ABOUT LOAD BEARING WALLS.

*staples violently to my own forehead*

OK this was so funny I didn't mind being rickrolled at all.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

They're both wrong, it's 'ahnt'.

If you are trying to find what your characters would be eating in 12th-century Japan, this list is kind of sparse. A bit Western-focussed.

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

This is insane, I love it.

I'm usually pretty indifferent to dance and I'm not sure why this showed up in my YouTube feed, but it's remarkably compelling and the level of talent on show here is wild. Well worth a watch.

OK now imagine they're doing this while wearing the lion costume and getting pelted with lettuce, which the guy in the front has to shred (through the mask) while he dances

Slow motion of a lion dance practice over water

Have you ever cried or been significantly upset at the death of a celebrity?

Yes (which one?), because I cared about them or their work

Yes, for practical reasons (ex. it was a politician with good political views)

Yes, but not because I cared about them (ex. their cause of death was a trigger for you)

No, but I would if certain famous people were to die

No, and I wouldn't even if a celebrity I liked died

No, because there are no celebrities I like/care about

Other (put in tags)

There are a lot of things about my town that have had me expecting a fae to show up for some years now. We just don't get walruses round here, though.

My take on the walrus knocking on your door versus a fairy knocking on your door thing is that I don't believe in magic or fairies whatsoever and I'd still be more surprised by the walrus. A fairy knocking on my door means I've made one bad assumption about how the world works; a walrus knocking on my door – in Saskatchewan, in February – means I'm wrong about a great many things.
