Over the course of the game, roll a d20 every so often.

This measures the progress of a different, unmentioned party of adventurers who are on their own quest to stop an unrelated threat to the entire mortal world.

If you get a one they fuck up and die so the world abruptly ends with no warning.

This is my entry for the Malevolent “write in your style event”, @malevolent-monthly!

I wasn’t initially planning on participating since this is a writing event and not an illustration one, but the prompt immediately inspired me so I got the go ahead to make a little comic! Part two out soon.

Everyone's afraid of clowns but I think you have to understand what context they're in matters, for your own health and safety,like, for example:

Clowns at a circus/fair/carnival- this is their natural habitat, they are happy and content. As long as you keep a respectful distance you're completely safe

Clowns at a birthday party/rodeo- off leash but highly trained and disciplined, their trainer is nearby for emergencies. They have been bred for close contact and even enjoy interaction with people

Clowns at a store grand opening- this is a concrete zoo for them. For your own safety do not approach too quickly or they might startle and lash out

If you do see a clown in the wild, stop, and back away slowly. If the clown begins making balloon animals be prepared to fight, you cannot run, they are much quicker than you and WILL catch up. A quick strike to the nose should be enough to subdue them. In the event of a clown bite seek medical care immediately, as symptoms will begin setting in quickly.

If you have not sought a medical professional within 24 hours of the bite, the changes will be permanent. In a case like this, trained professionals will escort you to the nearest clown College where you will be accepted into the fold. But this is a worse case scenario, and only about 10% of clown bites have this outcome :)

I love that Bill chose default mode for his human appearance because that implies that the universe’s most average person is a short fat lady of ambiguous race who has highlighter yellow hair for some reason

It's not the universe's most average human.

"Then, we reincarnate him. We've already carefully selected his destination and species; except for special circumstances, we generally don't customize the patient's body further, as the program is already set up to divinely design the body most well-suited to the soul about to inhabit it."

It's the universe's most average human Bill Cipher.

(Well—not "most average." More like "most comfortable." He would not have been happy in a tall lanky body and he appreciates the hair color.)

a pretty firm measure of a media property's success is how much its fans engage with it - not just buying the books but thinking about the characters and the setting, and engaging in transformative art using the piece of media as a canvas. by this measure, compared to one of its forerunners and one of its closer contemporaries, lightlark is an abject, objective failure. practically no one is writing lightlark fanfic, and the few people who are seem to be more engaged by trying to rewrite it than by playing around in canon. even Powerless, released closer to Lightlark than ACOTAR, has 41 fanfictions with ZERO works tagged as Canon Rewrite and only three that appear if one searches "rewrite" outside of the tags - and only one of those is a rewrite of the entire story, and not just an expansion of a specific scene.

look, if you like lightlark, i... question your taste and judgment, but ultimately i can't do anything about it. but i'd encourage you to question why you like lightlark. what is it about the series that grabs you? do you think about it after you put the book down, or does it slide from your mind as soon as you close the last page? and if it's the latter, does that really mean you like it?

wouldn't you rather have something that makes you think rather than something that lets you turn your brain off?

Ok, I’m trying to learn how to make more sensual art and I really wanna draw Benny as a pin up, but I’m having a hard time finding poses that would suit him?

Y’all, send me a pose, any pose, and I’ll be willing to draw him like that. That’s my valentines gift to y’all

Drunkenly insisted he come over, changed his mind 5min from my apartment, ghosts me for a week. I lightheartedly called him out for not rescheduling getting drinks and catching up that he suggested, so he reschedules. He makes heavy handed moves on me all night until he fucks me. Immediately says it was a mistake and promptly leaves without looking at me until he says goodbye. 2 weeks and nothing has been said. He then texts me, no hey how are you, asking if I'd been tested. Was like pulling teeth getting out of him that he'd been experiencing symptoms and suspects trich. I was tested after we slept together last time and was good, but to ease his anxiety I say I'll get tested again. I send him my results 2 days later. He purposefully miscommunicates and says "I'm all good". I voice that while I appreciate him wanting to let me know, that it caused me anxiety and he could've just waited until he knew for sure. He says he misspoke and hasn't actually gotten his results back and assume all clear since we both were negative previously (huh?!). Almost a full week goes by and he finally gets his negative results and sends me only the trich results. I rightfully ask if he got the full panel or just a test for trich. He sends me all the results, but only bc I asked. I reiterate that he could've just waited for the results to tell me because it stressed me out.

He finally admits that someone he slept shortly before me (unclear when) tested positive and he wanted to be on the safe side. I'm not in the mood for a fight so I just said ok that makes more sense.

Like I'm so fucking tired. He's such a fucking manipulative liar with serious communication and emotional immaturity issues. I literally do not give a fuck that you sleep with other people, just don't fucking lie and manipulate me holy shit. And the audacity to get defensive when I neutrally tell you how this whole thing made me feel instead of being passive and soft about it, is fucking WILD. Like I just know he's painted me as the crazy girl in his head because I call him out on his hypocritical and manipulative bullshit even in a neutral way. Like if you had just been honest from the fucking start I wouldn't have to match your fuckass attitude omfg
