How many times did God create a universe hoping for free will only to end in disappointment, do you think? Do you think the angels took it personally when they realized they would never be capable of what their creator wanted? Do you think they were jealous when Eve chose to pick that fruit? Do you think God was proud when Lucifer chose to rebel? Is the purpose of life to choose, or to serve? If it's the latter, then who does God serve? Did he disappoint his creator, too?

Story Prompt 65

The docks bustled with activity as people milled about, admiring the colossal ships docked alongside. Amidst the chatter and the sounds of seagulls, two figures strolled along the wooden planks, taking in the sights. Suddenly, a voice pierced through the ambient noise, calling out a name that stirred something deep within one of them.

The person turned around, eyes widening in disbelief as they locked onto a figure striding towards them. Memories, long buried beneath the sands of time, flooded back in a rush of emotions. The two locked eyes, a mixture of surprise and recognition flickering between them like a dance of shadows in the fading light.

"It can't be you," came the hesitant whisper, disbelief coloring every syllable.

The approaching figure smiled, a bittersweet expression etched upon their features. "But it is. It's been so long, hasn't it?" Their voice carried the weight of years gone by, yet held a hint of longing beneath its surface.

The air around them seemed to crackle with unresolved emotions as they stood face to face, the gap between them bridged by years of memories and unspoken words.

"Perhaps we should catch up," one suggested tentatively, breaking the tense silence that enveloped them like a heavy fog.

"Yeah, that sounds… nice," came the hesitant reply, tinged with a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty.

i can't sleep my brain and body have been all fucked up this week and i'm laying here at 430 being so PLAGUED by the fact that my life's 3 main hyper fixations have been mcr spn and dnp and not only that but the fact that fiction as a whole will never have anything like destiel again, the internet will never reproduce something like phan. celebrities will NEVER be able to do frerard again. i'm not insane. these are the big 3 and not just because these are my favorite things. there are endless amounts of ships and pairings and fics and lore but literally. the specific experience of living through all of these in one lifetime. no one else will ever have that...except us

So, like, what are the chances that a 2nd Turbotime arcade cabinet gets plugged in at some point? Same graphics & characters & everything. With the kids being appreciative of "retro" games(and, c'mon, Felix mentioned Turbotime being the most popular in the arcade when it was around, likely because of the steering wheel controller tech. at least this'd be the case before Roadblasters came around).

"but why would Mr. Litwak go through the trouble of affording a new one? When the last one got two of his games put out of commission?" man idk I just think he'd like to capitalize a little bit off of the kids' love of retro. if it breaks it breaks yknow. plus the incident was LONG ago I doubt that he'd even take it into account

I put all of this before just so you can imagine: Imagine a newly plugged in Turbo, ecstatic to make his debut as the greatest racer in the arcade! No malicious intentions(yet). And when he tries to socialize outside of his game, he's met with a whole array of strange looks. Ones of fear, disgust, wariness, and pity? He hadn't a clue what this was all for, talk about a tough crowd right?

At first he chalked it all up to some wide-range hazing ritual, something about showing the new guys what's up. This was all he thought before he started to see some peculiar graffiti staining parts of the GCS. Looked like some sort of fearmongering propaganda to him. He thought of it as some kinda funny prank, not to mention how kinda badass he looked.

Though, the joke was kinda starting to get old by the time he was barred from Tappers from the get-go. What gives! Can't a guy take the edge off at least once?? No breaks for ol' Turbo The Greatest Racer Ever??

Some wiseguys even thought it'd be funny to pick him up and use him as a basketball one time. He's not even the right colors to be a basketball! Jerks.

Turbo tries to confide in his fellow gamemates, trying to get some sort of answer to what's been going on with the treatment, but no dice, they don't know either because they've sworn off heading outside the game due to receiving the same treatment. Which angers Turbo even moreso. These guys may be his ingame rivals, but he can't stand for this blasphemy against his very name.

He'll get to the bottom of this. He'll show them.

It's so weird to me as a very recent fan how much the Dovewing hate is the stuff of legend when I literally have never seen a peep of that sentiment being genuinely expressed. And yet, the fandom opinion pendulum has swung so drastically that I can totally imagine what it was like based solely on the modern Ivypool vitriol.

My body is a temple, but the God to which it was built is dead. This is not a place of worship, but of mourning.

Story Prompt 24

In the dimly lit college apartment, the thumping bass from the party echoed through the walls, setting the rhythm for the night. Laughter and chatter filled the air as a group of friends gathered in the living room, swaying to the music. Amidst the chaos, two curious souls exchanged mischievous glances and decided to embark on an adventure.

Slipping away from the lively crowd, they tiptoed down the narrow hallway, shrouded in shadows. The door at the end seemed to beckon them, promising secrets waiting to be uncovered. With every step, the muffled music faded, replaced by silence that fueled their excitement.

As they reached the closed door, one of them pressed an ear against it, listening for any signs of life within. Satisfied that the coast was clear, they shared a smile and gently turned the doorknob. The door creaked open, revealing a room bathed in soft candlelight, adorned with decorations that hinted at the occupant's taste.

The duo exchanged amused glances and stepped into the unknown territory. Their hushed whispers reverberated as they marveled at the artwork hanging on the walls and the trinkets scattered across the room.

"Check out this funky painting. Wonder who the artist is," one of them remarked, gesturing to an abstract masterpiece that seemed to dance with colors.

The other chuckled, "And what's the deal with this collection of antique teacups? Someone's got a thing for old-school charm."

Their exploration continued, uncovering the occupant's quirks and interests. A bookshelf caught their attention, filled with novels that ranged from timeless classics to obscure titles. Picking up a book, one of them read a passage aloud.

You can argue that it was because they proved themselves but I think that the reason Ares and Hephaestus didn’t do any real damage to Percy and Annabeth and actually kind of helped them is because Aphrodite ships them and they know better than to ruin one of her otps
