My mom practices voodoo and my aunt is in surgery. She had up an alter to appease some death goddess so my aunt would live. The day after she threw away the sacrificial peanuts my aunt took a turn for the worse and her health started declining even though nothing bad had happened so far. So we reset the alter and hopefully nothing bad happens
I don't feel like drawing(also I can't draw people well) but I had an idea for a DunMeshi x Mouthwashing AU. Essentially the Tulpar crew are now the Tulpar party, a gold stripping team that's been exploring the dungeon together ever since it was discovered. Except Daisuke, who joined the party right before their current expedition. Unfortunately nobody in the party could refuse the addition of this young teenager because, well, Daisuke is the grandson of the Island Lord.
Here are the character swaps! Note, this is very loose because obviously their personalities don't match at all. I just mean mostly in terms of how they serve the party and the plot.
Jimmy - Laios("leader" of the party who forces the rest to go to extremes)
Anya - Marcille(the "incompetent" magic user who still can work miracles. In this AU she's a half-elf)
Swansea - Chilchuck(the grumpy old picklock. In this AU he's a gnome. I wanted to make him an orc, but it doesn't fit with the lore of the manga.)
Daisuke - Izutsumi(the inexperienced teenager. As much as I wanted to make him a kobold, it doesn't fit with him being the Island Lord's grandson)
Curly - Falin(the heart of the party and a magic user who saves everyone from certain death before being eaten by a dragon.)
Note: the party does not have a Senshi, making the fact that Jimmy is forcing them to eat only monsters all the more dangerous. This AU would go up to the point where Anya uses black magic to revive Curly. But the spell goes haywire and he ends up looking how he does for the majority of the game. At this point, Jimmy and Anya are the only two party members left.
So when the Mad Mage shows up, Anya is slain while Jimmy flees. Nobody is coming to save Jimmy. The walls keep shifting, teasing him with the chance at escape. But he must fix this. He must at least save Curly if he can't save anyone else.
Jimmy starves to death.
Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the ringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

so i made a potpourri with cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger and cloves and orange peel and anise and i have boiled it all day and it smelled so nice i took a sip and the sip was actually wonderful so now i have drunk four cups of potpourri juice and i am only now going to the internet to ask if i am going to Experience The Torments. or if i may have a fifth.
(i cannot quite explain it, but it’s like my entire low i have had a low grade stomachache, and normally i just deal but This Juice helps a little. i am unreasonably fond of it.)
Have more Abaddon and Stargazer since y'all like these two gays so much.
Snakes
