Useless Skills Rolling Table

Well, we've lied. These may turn out to be useful...in very, very, VERY specific situation.

3 useless skills one of your OCs has?????

I'll go with Jas from The Legend of Orian Goldeneye, because the skills are cool, but ultimately useless when you get isekai'd into a fantasy world.

She can recite 50 digits of pi

She knows pretty much every Google search tip

She can spin a pen really fast

She's also a physicist and thus really good at math and physics-based science which, a la A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, is actually very useful, with the caveat that Somnia and Earth are two different planets and so things like the gravitational constant are different.

So for the first part of the novel her most useful skill is a strong right hook and a willingness to do violence.

Me: Uh...

Just learned I correctly guessed how far along my pregnant friend is by looking at the ultrasound. Have I unlocked a new ability?

anime skills

On the list of useless life skills, I genuinely appreciate the ability to click forward an episode of an anime within 5 seconds of the OP ending.

"Do audio books count as reading" is such a stupid fucking question, it's not even the right question

Like

"Does listening to text read aloud qualify as visually recognizing the individual characters of written language?"

No

"Does listening to text read out loud qualify as receiving the information contained within written language?"

Yes

"Does listening to text read aloud qualify as experiencing the arbitrarily determined level of suffering that I personally think someone should have to experience before they can add a piece of text to their resume, like a trophy for "best martyr" in a cabinet dedicated to calculating intellectual status?"

Go fuck yourself

got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?

webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.

it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

my most useless skill is that I can list the chapters of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in reverse order.

It makes me giggle every time he acts like this. Why the hell is an invincible demon with supernatural powers so damn smug about being able to fry eggs better than a human—it’s because all those months of training with Ciel fucking paid off and Sebastian is going to flaunt it until the end of times.

SKZ as DND CLASSES: SORCERER HYUNJIN

sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly influence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. one can’t study sorcery as one learns a language, any more than one can learn to live a legendary life. no one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer.

i love merlin being so enamored by life and nature and all the beauty of the world around him, but as magic incarnate (a force that is neither good nor evil, it just is) i would love to see morally grey merlin. like ik we kinda get that with him killing people in arthur’s name and forsaking his people for the man he loves, but i mean like sorta dark and unnerving merlin who finds beauty in death and destruction and is fascinated by it. merlin who was conditioned on right and wrong but who still feels a pull to what others would consider wrong. finding wolves gorging on a carcass in the woods and feeling this pull to join them, to revert to a wild thing, to be animalistic and uninhibited. just forest nymph merlin where he’s so natural he’s unnatural.
