Don't Do It

STOLEN!

Prompt

Icarus didn’t fall; he turned into an incredible creature. The wings fused into his back and the winds became his best friends. Touching the sun transformed him. The Icarus people knew did die, but a creature of the sun was born. And with the sun child born, the moon child was created.

we :) will :)

this is a threat.

things you can use in place of cultural monsters

Can't use golems in your fantasy world because they're beings that belong to Judaism and you aren't Jewish? Try using elementals!

Can't use w*nd*goag in your story because they're monsters from Native beliefs and you aren't Native? Try wraiths or forest spirits!

Can't use Skinwalkers, either? How about changelings, The Thing-type aliens or faeries?

Don't want to use Christian biblical angels? Try eldritch monstrosities from another world.

Don't want to namedrop La Llorona, Hachisukisama or the Cupecabrah? How about old-fashioned undead, zombies or ghosts?

Just because certain supernatural beings are only for certain groups, doesn't mean you have to limit your monsters! There's plenty of demographic-neutral alternatives to famous creatures that you can use without culturally appropriating or disrespecting people's beliefs.

I'm getting a therapist but like, I don't even know what goes on in my own thoughts half the time o.o

When your spending time with your dad but you have to disappoint your mom by saying that you're with friends because life sucks and you can't tell her you chose dad over her just cause he asked first. So now not only is she disappointed in me but I'm also disappointed in myself.

Dialogue Prompt

"W-why did you do all of this? If I'm not the chosen one, then what was the point of training me?"

"To hurt you."

"To hurt me?"

"Yes. I needed to destroy you and make you into someone new. Into the new chosen one."

"Why am I needed at all? Who's the real chosen one?"

"I am. And I've failed."

I wonder if work just.. got harder in the 2000s, comparatively.

Brutal commentary from a video about a guy who was sent to jail because some pig thought Krispy Kreme glaze was meth

Remember when someone on tumblr would post a rhetorical question like “I wonder why all us neurodivergent people love the rain so much” and someone would make up some garbage like “well you see rain carries negative particles (which is why you get depressed if you drink rainwater) and since neurodivergent people are depressed the negative particles feel natural to them uwu” and everyone would be like “thanks science side of tumblr”
