Story Prompt 91

"You dare to label me a villain?" The figure hissed, its form barely discernible amidst the swirling darkness.

The demon regarded the shadowy figure with a mixture of disdain and curiosity. "Call you what you will," it replied, its voice resonating with an unearthly echo. "But know this: your actions have branded you as something far worse than any mere villain."

The shadowy figure scoffed, tendrils of darkness writhing around its form. "And what, pray tell, do you consider yourself, then?"

"A monster? Perhaps," the demon admitted, its voice betraying a hint of amusement. "But at least I embrace what I am. You, on the other hand, cloak yourself in false righteousness, pretending to be something you're not."

The figure bristled, its anger palpable in the air. "You know nothing of me," it spat. "I do what I must to survive in this wretched world."

The demon chuckled darkly, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light. "Survival?" it echoed mockingly. "Is that what you call it? Feeding on the fear and suffering of others, preying on the weak and vulnerable?"

"I do what needs to be done," the figure insisted, its voice wavering slightly. "I have no choice."

"Ah, but you always have a choice," the demon countered, its gaze piercing through the darkness. "You choose to embrace your darkest impulses, to revel in the pain you inflict upon others. That, my friend, is what makes you truly monstrous."

A child's birthday wish is to ride on a dragon, just a little ride, maybe?

Bribrid, the gnome that is actually a dragon in disguise, agrees. -- Anon Guest

It's not every day a person turns ten. It's even rarer to turn ten after undoing the plans of a great evil by accident. Wort hadn't meant to break the idol, but their bad foot had turned them off balance and the Master had told them to hurry or get another whipping.

One gnarled root and a loose paving stone sent Wort tumbling. The idol slipped their grip and then...

Wort wasn't sure what happened next, but there was a loud noise and lots of coloured light and then they were out in the sunshine with an Elf and a Gnome. Who were gentle with Wort. Kind. And never angry. They let Wort weep for the loss of the Master and gave them good food and better clothes, and a truth that seemed very strange to Wort. It seemed odd that the Master wanted to open up a hole in the world so he could let a flock of demons in. It sounded strange that smashing a little doll would ruin that.

guys is it weird for your 20 year old son to build your ex husband out of trash in your house after youve gotten divorced

[itsaboon]

this is soooo true

in the last campaign I was in, we trusted this one woman bcus she was one of our PC s sister, and so we thought she was chill.

turns out, she was a spy for the bbeg the whole time, and only actually fought the enemies when her brother (PC) was in trouble (alot).

our GM gave us sooo many clues, like she kills my first PC, then tries to kill another says she was "possessed", oh and yeah btw, she had been missing for a decade after presumed dead by Wolves, and was partially transformed into a ghost after having been poisoned by the demons who worked for the bbeg.

and we had to be told this by the GM after the campaign was over.

🤦

one problem that i have seen in DND is that if an NPC tells the PCs a certain thing, there is this assumption that

the NPC is inherently telling the truth and cannot lie

the NPC's knowledge is complete and infallible because the assumption is that this DM is using this NPC to convey information directly from the DM

and it irritates the snot out of me.

this doesn't happen all of the time, but it happens sometimes with one of my PCs. i love her, but damn. the way her brain works is unique and sometimes it makes playing challenging - because when things don't work out in the way she assumed they would, she gets frustrated.

like... dude. NPCs can lie. NPCs can have half-truths. maybe they only know half the information - maybe it's true from THEIR perspective based on partial information. maybe they have their own objectives and goals and are trying to manipulate the party.

just because an NPC says it doesn't mean it's true or that it's direction from the DM on how we as PCs should proceed.

Guys ive been reading peak

[morganbritton132]

Hopper is trying to enjoy his anniversary dinner with his wife at Enzo’s, in spite the fact that Diane is pissed at him and he doesn’t want to be there, when he suddenly hears, “Mr Hopper.”

Hopper does not roll his eyes when he looks away from his wife’s empty chair to six year old Steve Harrington next to him, “Yes?”

The kid is in a suit. Should Hopper have worn a suit?

“I’m okay, Mr Hopper.”

Well, that got Hopper’s attention. His eyes flicker from the kid to the table with his clearly whisper-arguing parents. Steve certainly looked okay so, “Good?”

“I’m gonna ask Mama if I can get ice cream,” Steve tells him. “If she says no, I’m going to cry real loud ‘til she gives up. I’m not really sad, Mr. Hopper. I’m just really good at crying. Please don’t arrest my dad. He didn’t hurt me.”

Hopper gives him a bewildered look so Steve compromises, “Okay, you can arrest my dad but after I get ice cream.”

Hopper barely manages not to smile at this ridiculous kid when he says, “Are you telling me about a premeditated tantrum?”

Steve thinks about it, “Yes.”

anyways after that minecraft movie trailer i'm tempted to change my skin back to that one based on crimson/warped duality out of spite

they called the nether "a place with no joy or creativity at all" like just tell me you're too scared to go there and thus haven't experienced

-joining in on a group of piglins hunting a hoglin, letting them keep the loot, trading with them afterwards, i find that this temporarily cures the loneliness of singleplayer

-the dance they do afterwards sometimes literally just the piglin dance, hitting shift repeatedly with them

-literally just the nether music at all

-that CRESCENDO in rubedo

-that brief minor key reprise of sweden in dead voxel hhhhhhhhhhhh

-occasional crimson roots in a soul sand valley like oh there's still some life here

-wither skull hunting and recruiting piglins to help you by luring them to the fortress with gold (+ giving them gold helmets so they don't put on the skulls) i love the ways this game lets me fight alongside piglins if i want to

-the subtle animated texture of crimson and warped stems like they feel so ALIVE with that one small detail

-seeing a nether tree growing through another one

-and an extremely tall nether tree amidst the normal height ones

-and weeping vines hanging from the ceiling

-passing by a piglin that's wearing enchanted iron boots and immediately knowing you've met and traded with this one before

-parkour challenge basalt delta

-also the particles in that biome look like snow if you turn down your render distance

-STRIDERS. Literally just striders. They're like bonded creatures to me, honorary tameable mobs, you put a saddle on the one mob in the nether that would never hurt you and then go on a journey together across the deadly lava ocean avoiding ghasts together and you can't remove the saddle now unless you kill it which you can't do because it's your ride back to the portal, once that strider is saddled it is Your strider and even if you release it into the wild you will immediately recognize it by the saddle if you see it again and in such a dangerous world you have found a companion you can always trust and idk bout you but i always bond so hard with them

-and also they're kind of cute, esp with the little waddle walk

-seeing a baby strider on top of an adult one

-literally just the fact that nether biomes have all this constant looping ambience and particles in the air that makes them feel so immersive and so alive, each biome has its own unique soundscape and ambience, can you imagine soul sand valleys without the wind and the whispers and wails

-aside note the particle effects are like the animated stems in that they're such a subtle detail but they add so much, i never really noticed them until i was netherite mining and started using them to tell which biome i'm under

-the nether was doing ambience and immersion 5 years before the Spring Drop allowed the overworld to finally catch up to it

-the adorableness of baby piglins

-esp when they ride on top of baby hoglins

-PIGSTEP. FUCKING PIGSTEP. the piglins have music and it's SUCH A BANGER i've thrown ingame parties with this music disc

-seeing warped fungus in a crimson forest or crimson fungus in a warped forest

-biome borders between the two that have all this warped foliage in the crimson forest and vice versa as they blend into each other

-nyooming across a soul sand valley with soul speed 3 boots, laughing at the skeletons and ghasts who can't land a hit on you, bonus if you add a speed potion to the mix

-doing this and realizing the subtitle says "soul escapes" and you're surrounded by blue particles and realizing you're freeing them from their imprisonment (and presumably the piglins who made this enchantment are doing the same when they use it)

-the rib and snout armor trims

-gilded blackstone it's so pretty and nice and a great building block (and you can't craft it only the piglins know how to do that)

-bastions have chiseled blackstone

-and their own exclusive banner pattern

-some of them have that gold-and-quartz decorative thing that looks like some kinda statue

-apparently part of the Bridge type of bastion is designed to resemble a piglin head with the mouth as the entrance

-someone in the notes mentioned glowstone and YES how did i forget it when originally making this post, glowstone my childhood favourite block that's in my current mc username, pretty and shiny and also the way piglins used it to invent spectral arrows

-getting lost in the lore implications, noticing the huge fossils and the implications of the name "warped forest" as well as the names of some of its ambience sounds and the fact that basalt comes from rapidly cooling lava irl and next thing you know you've got a whole red string theory going that edges closer and closer to cosmic horror

-ik the fossils look like ribs but one time i wondered if they might be the fingers of something unfathomably huge

-the time i encountered a baby piglin running from a zombified one so i pushed the zombified piglin off the fortress and then gave the baby piglin a gold nugget

but hey what do i know i'm just a nether enthusiast on the "romanticizing and finding beauty in the horrifying and the forsaken" website huh

Sometimes I wonder how this sweet soft spoken guy who has adopted a zoo worth of strays is best friends with designated grid cunt (affectionate) george russell, and then I remember his reaction to the hamilton move was "good for lewis. good for his bank account" and then i wonder no more

This Au and its fanfics are amazing, and I love it. Oh, and don't worry- Bumblebee's fine.

The World Economic Forum has stated that an incoming ‘Water Crisis’ will succeed because their ‘Climate Change’ narrative has failed… Adding it’s too ‘complex’ as she openly admits they were unable to ‘vaccinate’ everyone in the World. 🤔
