Swift hare, you play the antagonist for your lack of care. Yet when the time comes to follow the fable, the tortoise is admonished for his slow and careful pace.

I come by it honestly, my mother says. Great, who wants a worker bee that’s accurate but slow? All hands in the air.

Love sours into something bitter and slimy as stress curls its tendrils in my stomach. I cannot bring myself to care. I cannot bring myself to NOT care.

The cycle begins again, and here I thought I had finally escaped its grasp.

I don’t know what to do.

There was a reviewer or commenter who said "I always keep track of how many mistakes the protagonist makes and after three, I stop reading the story and never look back".

I think about that person pretty frequently. We read for our own enjoyment, and therefore there's no wrong way to read a book so long as you're enjoying yourself, but ... maybe I don't actually believe that. Maybe there are wrong ways to read a book, and this guy found one.

Sometimes someone invests at 12 notes and then it only goes to 26 notes, and that's not a very good return on investment. It's bad enough my post didn't do well, but now I have to worry about someone not being able to retire from tumblr? It's too much pressure.

If you suddenly had all the skills and resources needed for making any type of game about your ocs, what kind of game would you make? And about which oc(s)?

[parasite-core]

Draw your character like this

[parasite-core]

which oc does not go by their birth name? do they still use it for some occasions or not at all? how do they feel when they hear their birth name?

[parasite-core]

Describe your OC's worst memory or experience in three words or less.

[parasite-core]

Tag the OC who's on the ace spectrum, the aro spectrum, or both!

Torturing your ocs ask game :)

(Delightful, I know. But we all do it sometimes)

1. Which of your ocs do you most often imagine sick? In what ways?

2. Which of them do you most imagine injured in other ways?

3. Who do you put through the most emotional turmoil?

4. Which oc has been tortured? Through what means?

5. Which of them has the worst luck?

6. Who goes through the most relationship conflicts? (applies to any relationships)

7. Who do you put most into stressful situations or other drama?

8. Who ends up in survival situations the most? How do they fair in them?

9. Has any of them had to be saved from the brink of death? Were there any consequences after?

10. Has any of them had to be revived / brought back to life? How did this affect them?

11. Who is afraid the most? How does this effect them?

12. What kind of health repercussions has your oc experienced through intense stress? How do they manage them?

13. Who cries the most often? What are the usual causes?

14. How does your oc cope?

15. To cap off what kind of hurt/comfort scenarios do you put your oc in?

This can be about canon story events or simply rotating scenarios for fun!

What's your OC's most obvious red flag?

[parasite-core]

What’s something all of your OCs have in common?

[parasite-core]

you have entered.. the scary door

Tempest would be a good cat for one of those villains who sits around with a cat on their lap all the time. If I am sitting or laying down there’s a 90% chance she is on my lap.

[parasite-core]

there’s a lot going on here

The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.

Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.

And it slaps
