the dichotomy between an attack dog vs a guard dog is like. an attack dog is sent out to carry out violence. it's starved and abused to ensure aggression. it has no other purpose outside of Attacking at the whim of its master. it's constantly on guard because a threat can come from any direction at any time. it's the dog chained up in a basement that's only set loose when there's something to kill.

but a guard dog is protecting instead of attacking. instead of being sent out to fight, it comes home to defend the house. it may be constantly on watch for an external threat, but it is content to lay with the sheep until a wolf comes to the door. the guard dog has a warm place to sleep, and is well fed and treated like a member of the household. it's free to leave at any time but it stays to protect the house anyway. do u get it. do u understand.

December 23:

Today, Stanley seemed oddly secretive. This annoyed Narrator greatly, so much so that he came down to try and talk face to face with stanley, rather then face to... well, voice. It didn't help, infact stanley seemed more secretive, but he promised Narrator if he stayed in his human form all day tomorow then he wouldn't regret it.

December 24:

Today, Narrator spent the whole day in his human form at Stanley's request. He had thought this was so they could spend some quality time together, but it seemed to be the complete opposite. He barely saw Stanley all day and spent a good chunk of it wandering around the Parable grumbling to himself until the Curator found him and asked if he would like to join her in a game of chess.

December 25:

Today, Stanley surprised everyone with a Christmas party. Everyone was there, Stanley, Narrator, Timekeeper, Curator, Mariela, The Bucket, The Adventure Line, The Fern, and even The Tape guy were all in the employee lounge. It certainly surprised Narrator, and Stanley told him he wanted to throw a party. They spent the day dining, drinking and talking... (well, it wasn't actual food or drink, and most of them couldn't talk...) In the evening, Stanley gave Narrator a gift. It was a sleek, black notebook with the Narrator's name on the side. Inside was a handwritten note that read: 'Merry Christmas Narrator, I hope you write some more nice endings and don't kill me so much. Love from Stanley x' Narrator instantly started blabbering about how he didn't know they were exchanging gifts, how much he loved it, and how he thought that his patience with Stanley was quite enough of a gift already, but Stanley just laughed silently and kissed him.

December 26:

It turned out that the drink from the Christmas party was actual drink, and everyone, (including The Bucket and The Adventure line, do not ask me how they managed to drink), woke up with raging hangovers. They did not do anything today.

this post is an experiment, I am curious about how far you will get into the post.

to start, I challenge you to read the orange text below, and not read any further:

the challenge is to only read this far into the post. if you are stopping here, leave a comment about your favorite carbohydrate.

ok, you have decided to continue reading. hell yeah. no shame in that at all. this test is not meant to make you feel bad, in fact, you should be happy whenever you want forever.

if you made it here leave a comment of your favorite fictional universe, you are officially a Tier 2 Post Reader.

ok, the next part of this post is behind a barrier, there's a keep reading button. if you made it this far, tell me your favorite reptile in the comments. you are more than welcome to stop here, only continue if you would like to.

hiiiii :)

ok you're in the big leagues now. this is the DLC of the post. if you made it here, tell me your favorite milk substitute.

now FOR REAL. this would be a cool place to finish off at. you can go after this, I promise you're not missing out, you can leave. If you made it here, tell me what tattoo you would get if you decided to get a new tattoo today.

thank you for reading, I promise this is a cool place to stop reading the post. you really can go now. :) 👍

*ahem* alright, you are still with me. I'm happy to have ya. here's the deal, the chance of you seeing a picture of my dog within this post is 12.5%. you have a 1/8 chance of seeing a dog in this post.

keep in mind, that is not a high chance.

if you are ready to leave now, tell me your favorite plant. like, your favorite plant can be a tree or a specific fruit or vegetable or whatever. just tell me your favorite. then you may leave the post.

alright. since you made it here, I have the ultimate test: a link. definitely the highest barrier to entry so far, this could lead you anywhere. it's a trust exercise with a complete stranger.

clicking on this link will continue the post further, for how long this will go on, I cannot say. If you do not want to proceed, tell me your favorite sauce, and be on your way. I like buffalo ranch.

This works extra well because for Khilanna to seek out a pact, she'd have to be backed into a corner, having a) lost their (crime) family and b) she'd want to kill the motherfuckers who did her dirty :D

You’ve entered the wrong forest motherf*cker

I’ve had a “bad end” design for Husk on my brain for actual years for if they became an evil archfey

Nat hummed at Tony's question and looked over at Bruce again. "You better have thought of at least that much. If you haven't, we're going to see if this body is just as strong and flexible as my old one real soon."

"I have thought about that," said Bruce, "although I didn't expect this attempt to succeed, so... we've got a bit of a drive, and we'll stay with my cousin Jennifer for a day or so while I get the alternative set up. You've both met her. She's, uh... had some stuff going on, but she's still Jen," he promised.

@imjustthemechanic liked for a starter from Natasha.

Natasha had made her peace when she sacrificed herself for the soul stone. Now she found herself alive, but she didn't recognize herself. "What the fuck is going on?"
