2024.05.15 09:51 ArthRol Impressions on two rather overlooked George Orwell's novels - 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' (1936) and 'Coming up for air' (1939)
Naturally, I came to know Orwell with 1984, which I read roughly three years ago in a Russian translation. I was at my humble beggining in discovering literature, and the book impressed my chiefly trough its deep theoretical base, the atmosphere of utter lack of hope and ingenious terms such as 'doublethink' - anyway, you probably know what I am talking about
Yet it was only much later that I read his other literary works - namely, those indicated in the title. There, I discovered Orwell as a great analytic of human psychology, an inventive storyteller. Both novels have a bleak atmosphere with a bit of dark humor and somewhat foreshadow themes that would appear in 1984.
In Keep the Aspidistra Flying, Orwell depicts a peculiar intellectual named Gordon Constock, almost thirty and "already moth-eaten." The gist is that he refused his status and prospects of a "good job" in order to avoid being subservient to "the Money God" - that is, he lowers himself on the social scale, living in self-imposed penury, working in a bookshop. Generally, this Gordon would seem like an off-putting person, constantly frustrated, whining and complaining, raving about the 'end of civilization', a little bit sexist, and a great deal pessimist. The reader is plunged into his interior monologue and obsessive thoughts, which are captivating to follow. The plot revolves around his fight with the Consumerist system - however, as you might have guessed, he is not a valliant knight in shining armor, but rather a vain nihilist with questionable worldview. This affects the relationship with other characters - his friend Ravelstorm (a self-proclaimed Marxist, who is distracted from thougths about the rough conditiond of the Proletariat by the soft appearance of his mistress), his self-abnegating sister Julia, etc. Also, Gordon tries to write poetry - and one of the poems is gradually 'conceived' throughout the novel, containing his impressions and emotions in a self-piteous, frustrated style - with quite a decent result I'd say. Besides, Orwell realistically describes some unpleasant aspects of London's life through the protagonist's actions: slums, squalor, drunkenness, and prostitution. Per general, a great read!
On the other hand, 'Coming up for air' describes a character who is an organic part of the system - a middle-aged clerk from a London's suburb, on the surface - a typical lower-middle-class and a family man, called George Bowling. The novel is written entirely through his perspective and keeps a rather melancholic tone. The narrator, with a rueful humor, talks a bit about himself, expressing a dissatisfaction with his menial life, yet remaining fatalistic about it. Then he starts an 80-or-so pages description of his pre-WW1 life and memories from a small town - and, frankly, it stirred my interest, being related in a vivid language. His rustic life is placed in contrast with the modern, after-war existence. This leads to nostalgia, and basically, the plot of the novel consists of an attempt to chase this feeling, to make it come true, to revive what has been long forgotten. The novel (published some months before the WW2) contains a distinct feeling of uncertainty, fear, and anguish about the future, expressed in various instances. The narrator asks himself what would become if the war starts - if the bombers arrive - which, as he thinks, will happen in 1941. But he fears not the destruction itself, but what would come after the pains of war - a new world of "rubber truncheons", slogans, suppression, hate. Something that Orwell will describe 11 years later in '1984'.
Overall, I think both books are worth reading. However, you have to expect that the protagonists - Gordon Comstock and George Bowling - might not be quite prepossesing.

The Case for Organization: Why You Need a Stationery Organizer
A cluttered desk can be detrimental to focus and productivity. A well-organized workspace, on the other hand, fosters a sense of calm and efficiency. Here's how a stationery organizer can help:
- Reduced Clutter: A designated space for all your writing instruments prevents them from scattering around your desk, creating a cleaner and more visually appealing workspace.
- Increased Efficiency: Knowing exactly where every pen, pencil, and highlighter resides saves you valuable time searching for the tool you need.
- Enhanced Productivity: A clutter-free workspace allows you to focus on the task at hand without distractions or wasted time searching for lost supplies.
- Improved Aesthetics: A stylish and well-organized stationery organizer can elevate the overall look and feel of your workspace.
The world of stationery organizers offers a diverse selection to cater to different needs and workspace aesthetics. Here's a breakdown of some popular options:
- Desk Organizers: These come in various shapes and sizes, featuring multiple compartments designed to hold pens, pencils, highlighters, paper clips, and other essentials. Desk organizers are ideal for keeping frequently used items within easy reach.
- Mesh Organizers: Made from wire mesh, these organizers offer a sleek and modern look. They allow for easy visibility of contents and provide good ventilation for items like erasers or markers.
- Pen Stands: These vertical organizers focus on holding pens and pencils upright in a stylish and space-saving manner. They are perfect for those who prioritize pen accessibility and minimalist aesthetics.
- Rotating Organizers: These multi-tiered organizers rotate on a central axis, providing access to multiple compartments without taking up significant desk space. They are ideal for those with a large collection of stationery.
- Drawer Organizers: These in-drawer organizers utilize your existing desk drawers, offering compartments for various stationery items. They are a great way to maximize unused drawer space and keep clutter hidden.
- Wall-Mounted Organizers: These space-saving options free up valuable desk real estate by mounting directly on the wall. They are an excellent choice for those with limited desk space.
The ideal stationery organizer depends on several factors:
- Workspace Size: For limited desk space, consider vertical organizers or wall-mounted options.
- Number of Supplies: Choose an organizer with sufficient compartments to accommodate your collection of stationery.
- Accessibility Needs: Consider how frequently you access certain items and position them accordingly within the organizer.
- Material and Style: Stationery organizers come in various materials like plastic, metal, wood, or fabric. Choose one that complements your overall workspace aesthetics.
- Budget: Stationery organizers range in price depending on material, size, and features. Determine your budget and find an option that offers good value for money.
Once you have a stationery organizer in place, here are some tips for maintaining a clutter-free workspace:
- Declutter Regularly: Periodically go through your supplies and discard any unused, broken, or dried-out items.
- Develop a System: Establish a system for placing items in your organizer. This ensures you always know where to find what you need.
- Limit Impulse Purchases: Before adding new stationery to your collection, consider if it truly serves a purpose and has a designated space in your organizer.
- Embrace Multifunctionality: Opt for multi-functional stationery items, like pens with built-in highlighters or erasers, to reduce overall clutter.
A well-organized workspace is a testament to both productivity and peace of mind. By choosing the right stationery organizer and implementing simple organizational strategies, you can transform your workspace from a cluttered battlefield to a haven of creativity and efficiency.

2024.05.15 08:41 WoldonFoot Certain Things Were Said: A TWBTW Campaign (Parts I-IV) (In Verse!)
After sixty-seven sessions of Curse of Strahd (read all about it here), it was time for a change. So into the wild we went...
My group is nearing the end of Hither, and along the way I've written summaries of each session ("What Just Happened?"), along with interesting/funny quotes from PCs/NPCs ("Certain Things Were Said"), and a list of new characters introduced that session ("Dramatis Personae").
My intention is to write the summaries for each of the five parts of the campaign in a different format. For the Witchlight Carnival, each summary was presented in verse (my own, no machine learning shortcuts!), using the the metre and rhyming structure of various Lewis Carrol poems.
I'd like to share my summaries/poems with you all here, for posterity, and in the hope you'll find them entertaining.
For reference, the players are:
’Twas twilight when the carnival Did open wide two golden gates, And those with tickets did arrive, Seeking things they had misplaced.
One harengon of curious size, A kobold with a slithy gait, An owlet who possessed two eyes As wide as Annam’s dinner plates.
Yet are we three or are we four? Let’s add vibrations rarefied: A Witchlight hand here to ensure That every guest is Satyrs-fied!
Enter now and taste the sounds, Feel these colours, smell those sights! Kaleidoscopic fun abounds This synaesthesiac’s delight!
Yet where’s the drama? Where’s the tension? Certainly we’ve had a switch (At least in here there is no mention Of that cad von Zarovich).
Instead let’s race a giant snail, Eat candied mushrooms by the pound, Or listen to a gnome assail The tightness of your mother’s gown.
Yet hark! A misadventure glum! Those not heroes please give berth! The best laid plans of love undone By Tasha’s wild unruly mirth
These mirrored halls! This desperate task, To find a luckless paramour A sweet-toothed lass with porcine mask That you could swear you’ve seen before…
’Twas twilight when the carnival Did open wide two golden gates And those with tickets did arrive, Now guided by the wiles of fate.
Dramatis Personae
Arix Specklefoot, a sweet-toothed owlin Holafina, a curiously short harengon Skerrek Tirael, a slithy kobold Sylenos, a cosmic satyr Nicholas Midnight, elderly goblin ticketmaster at the Witchlight Carnival Candlefoot, a mime and not by choice Rubin Sugarwood, a lovesick halfling Ween Sundapple, his laugh-sick paramour Glorange Turple, a poetry gnome
Certain Things Were Said
“I am worried about your ability to sense vibrations that I cannot.” - Skerrek Tirael
“Tymore, goddess of good fortune! Look well upon Shellymoo this day!” - Holafina
“Hate to say it, man, but that gnome really insulted your mother.” - Sylenos
“Snacks?” - Arix Specklefoot
"The time has come," the Satyr said, "To talk of many things: Of poems—and props—and Jeremy Plum— Of crowns and pixie kings— And why things here keep getting lost— And what this pig-girl means."
"But wait a bit," the Owlin cried, "Before our minds do meet, For some of us are pretty spooked, And I would like a treat!" "No hurry!" said the Satyr, And kicked up cloven feet.
The Owlin and the Kobold Were walking close at hand, They smiled like anything to see The gates of Pixie Land. "If we could only stay a while,” They said, "it would be grand!"
The Satyr sighed so sulkily, Because he thought that Plum Had got no business to be there When all was said and done. (“It's rude of him," the Kobold said, "To try and spoil our fun!")
"Oi, Satyr," said the pixie king, "You've had a pleasant run! Should you be getting back to work?” But answer came there none And this was scarcely odd, because He had real beef with Plum.
Now Arix made a hamster friend Who offered up some clues. The others tried the riding-pug: A pleasant thing to do! (“The pug is fine," the Rabbit said, "But he’s no Shellymoo.”)
"How nice of you to come!” said Plum, "You all are oh-so kind!" Puddlemud said nothing as His teeth began to grind. The Owlin and the Kobold cheered: “That was our FAVORITE ride!”
“A wooden crown," fair Jexim said, Is what we need to come Our way along with golden paint For some un-princely sum.” The others stared, confused, and said: “Now where did YOU come from?”
‘Twas then the party dared approach The famous Mystery Mine Where psychedelic spectacles Broke the Satyr’s mind. (“I really wish,” Zephixo sighed, “You wouldn’t ride while high”).
Next Dirla pulled all kind of things Out of his wagon/portal: Bottles, bunnies, candlesticks, A shining blade of vorpal (Incidentally, there’s a word That kind of rhymes with purple).
“If you put your mind to it And searched for long enough, Do you suppose," the party said, "That you could find our stuff?" "I doubt it," said dear Dirlagraun, And gave a bitter huff.
Then he gave the Harengon The greatest gift by far: A copy of “Gnome On The Run” And bid them au revoir (Morgie would have laughed at that While struggling with slash “R”).
“I do believe,” the Satyr said, “That something is not right, And think we ought to pay a call To Messers Witch and Light.” “I think we ought,” the Owlin said “To first stop for a bite.”
But in their way old Thaco stood, A clown grown grim and surly: “Rabbit! Owlin! Pixie! Skink! You aren’t allowed to be-“ The Fairy interrupted him: “Wait, WHAT did you call me?”
Poor Thaco cried: “Things move too fast! And have since my debut In R-1: To the Aid of Falx From Nineteen Eighty Two! And if you’d seen what I have seen Then you’d smoke bubbles, too!”
Finally he stepped aside, At last the way was clear. The Satyr ambled stealthily With open eyes and ears And pressed them to a wagon large To see what he could hear.
"The time has come," Witch and Light said, "To talk of things galore Of prizes—plans—and kenku pests— and ever so much more— But first we’d better ask inside Those spying at our door!”
Dramatis Personae
Jexim, a puzzled, puzzling fairy Jeremy Plum, operator of the Pixie Kingdom and bestower of silly names Biscuit, a talkative hamster Pinecone, a riding-pug Zephixo, dwarven inventor and mastermind behind the Mystery Mine Ernest Wilde, middle-aged calliope master currently inhabiting the body of his pet monkey Marigold, his button-collecting goblin assistant Dirlagraun, a kindly but inefficient displacer beast, minder of lost children and property Thaco, a bubble-smoking clown who is long past his prime
Certain Things Were Said
"Worried I was, with talk of missing supper." - Arix Specklefoot
"Could you not just purchase a new pair?" - Skerrek Tirael "Not like this, man." - Sylenos
"If you'd see the things I've seen, you'd smoke a bubble pipe, too." - Thaco
"Is this it?" - Dirlagraun "NO." - Everyone
"Where the heck is our stuff? We just want to know This Harengon ain't getting bigger, Arix has no idea of where to go And lies send poor Skerrek a-quiver!"
"Would you get back to work?" Mister Light cried, Twirling his cane with a smile, "Otherwise find where this kenku pest hides; She's cramping this carnival's style!"
"Well, that was a bust," said our heroes, conferring, "Anyone got a suggestion? If we need to pull strings to get back our things Then there are some folk we should question."
"Time's an illusion, free will a delusion!" Sylenos' mentor decreed, "Get a contusion battling occlusions, Or relax and have some of this…wait, what was I saying?"
Sylenos proclaimed: "A genius flawed!" "A man/dragon ahead of his time." Skerrek looked at his claws; Holafina at paws, And the other two just rolled their eyes
"A centuar I'm not! I just made a bad trade The "Cloppinton's" just serendipitous, Now lend me your aid and you'll maybe persuade These horsies to drop some significance."
Then they took to the skies on a dragonfly ride (Holafina and Skerrek abreast), When you're this high there's just nowhere to hide (And to which Sylenos attests)
Now Skerrek honed on a runaway gnome Who was fleeing the carnage with glee, Holafina struck home and that's it for this poem For the gnome was the kenku, you see.
Dramatis Personae
Mister Witch, a matter-of-fact elf, devoid of pretense Mister Light, a flamboyant elf, luminous and coy Burly, a philosophical, pumpkin-helmeted bugbear Mandragon, a seeker of truth (and not much else) Diana Cloppington, a centaur who is apparently not, operator of the Carousel Northwind, a very forthcoming treant, operator of the Dragonfly Rides
Certain Things Were Said
"There’s something weird going on. For some reason everyone thinks I don’t do anything around the carnival." - Sylenos
"It's true, Miss Cloppinton! We've ALL lost things." - Arix Specklefoot
"Wait, when did we have biscuits?" - Jexim
Now hear the Kenku’s strange reply (As Arix struggles to apply Triage to these pixie guys)
Asking questions, getting nought Set her on a different course: High sabotage without remorse!
And what has got her so irate Is what’s she trying to intimate: Zybilna has been quiet of late!
Ignore the rest, and let’s take flight To confront dear Witch and Light (Surprisingly, they’re quite contrite)
To keep the carnival in motion A tapestry of lies was woven: A deal with the Hourglass Coven!
Who take from those who can’t afford Entrance through the Witchlight’s doors Miscellanea adored
So THAT’s who taken all your junk! Time to find these Hourglass punks! Which way to this Feywild dump?
But first we’ll make a brief aside So Candlefoot can vocalise His mermaid love (now legalised)
Now the pair can tie the knot And while we’re passing time why not Ride the fabled Bubble Pot?
Yet ere you all are translocated (Everybody’s breath now bated) Arix must be coronated!
The time of truth has come at last Hesitation as you pass Though the hallowed looking glass
Are you afraid to lose your minds? What lies ahead? What lies behind? What do you expect to find?
Will Skerrek ever fabricate? Or Holafina emulate A bunny’s median height and weight?
Shall Jexim’s memoirs find acclaim? Can Monty locate Bobbitt Fane? (…hang on, that’s a different game)
Does Arix ever find the door? And will Sylennos flee the cause To study unemployment law?
Dramatis Personae
Kettlesteam, a mischievous patron of Zybilna Paleesha, a mellifluous mermaid, now reunited with Candlefoot
Certain Things Were Said
“Sylenos, perhaps in eight years you can come back and find your lost employment.” - Skerrek
“Ask me where the exit is.” - Arix Specklefoot “Where is the exit?” - Mister Light “I don’t know.” - Arix

Part I: Welcome to the Witchlight
What Just Happened? (in the style of Jabberwocky)’Twas twilight when the carnival Did open wide two golden gates, And those with tickets did arrive, Seeking things they had misplaced.

Instead let’s race a giant snail, Eat candied mushrooms by the pound, Or listen to a gnome assail The tightness of your mother’s gown.
Yet hark! A misadventure glum! Those not heroes please give berth! The best laid plans of love undone By Tasha’s wild unruly mirth
These mirrored halls! This desperate task, To find a luckless paramour A sweet-toothed lass with porcine mask That you could swear you’ve seen before…
’Twas twilight when the carnival Did open wide two golden gates And those with tickets did arrive, Now guided by the wiles of fate.
Dramatis Personae
Arix Specklefoot, a sweet-toothed owlin Holafina, a curiously short harengon Skerrek Tirael, a slithy kobold Sylenos, a cosmic satyr Nicholas Midnight, elderly goblin ticketmaster at the Witchlight Carnival Candlefoot, a mime and not by choice Rubin Sugarwood, a lovesick halfling Ween Sundapple, his laugh-sick paramour Glorange Turple, a poetry gnome
Certain Things Were Said
“I am worried about your ability to sense vibrations that I cannot.” - Skerrek Tirael
“Tymore, goddess of good fortune! Look well upon Shellymoo this day!” - Holafina
“Hate to say it, man, but that gnome really insulted your mother.” - Sylenos
“Snacks?” - Arix Specklefoot
Part II: Lost and Found
What Just Happened? (In the style of The Walrus and the Carpenter )"The time has come," the Satyr said, "To talk of many things: Of poems—and props—and Jeremy Plum— Of crowns and pixie kings— And why things here keep getting lost— And what this pig-girl means."
"But wait a bit," the Owlin cried, "Before our minds do meet, For some of us are pretty spooked, And I would like a treat!" "No hurry!" said the Satyr, And kicked up cloven feet.
The Owlin and the Kobold Were walking close at hand, They smiled like anything to see The gates of Pixie Land. "If we could only stay a while,” They said, "it would be grand!"
The Satyr sighed so sulkily, Because he thought that Plum Had got no business to be there When all was said and done. (“It's rude of him," the Kobold said, "To try and spoil our fun!")
"Oi, Satyr," said the pixie king, "You've had a pleasant run! Should you be getting back to work?” But answer came there none And this was scarcely odd, because He had real beef with Plum.
Now Arix made a hamster friend Who offered up some clues. The others tried the riding-pug: A pleasant thing to do! (“The pug is fine," the Rabbit said, "But he’s no Shellymoo.”)
"How nice of you to come!” said Plum, "You all are oh-so kind!" Puddlemud said nothing as His teeth began to grind. The Owlin and the Kobold cheered: “That was our FAVORITE ride!”
“A wooden crown," fair Jexim said, Is what we need to come Our way along with golden paint For some un-princely sum.” The others stared, confused, and said: “Now where did YOU come from?”
‘Twas then the party dared approach The famous Mystery Mine Where psychedelic spectacles Broke the Satyr’s mind. (“I really wish,” Zephixo sighed, “You wouldn’t ride while high”).
Next Dirla pulled all kind of things Out of his wagon/portal: Bottles, bunnies, candlesticks, A shining blade of vorpal (Incidentally, there’s a word That kind of rhymes with purple).
“If you put your mind to it And searched for long enough, Do you suppose," the party said, "That you could find our stuff?" "I doubt it," said dear Dirlagraun, And gave a bitter huff.
Then he gave the Harengon The greatest gift by far: A copy of “Gnome On The Run” And bid them au revoir (Morgie would have laughed at that While struggling with slash “R”).
“I do believe,” the Satyr said, “That something is not right, And think we ought to pay a call To Messers Witch and Light.” “I think we ought,” the Owlin said “To first stop for a bite.”
But in their way old Thaco stood, A clown grown grim and surly: “Rabbit! Owlin! Pixie! Skink! You aren’t allowed to be-“ The Fairy interrupted him: “Wait, WHAT did you call me?”
Poor Thaco cried: “Things move too fast! And have since my debut In R-1: To the Aid of Falx From Nineteen Eighty Two! And if you’d seen what I have seen Then you’d smoke bubbles, too!”
Finally he stepped aside, At last the way was clear. The Satyr ambled stealthily With open eyes and ears And pressed them to a wagon large To see what he could hear.
"The time has come," Witch and Light said, "To talk of things galore Of prizes—plans—and kenku pests— and ever so much more— But first we’d better ask inside Those spying at our door!”
Dramatis Personae
Jexim, a puzzled, puzzling fairy Jeremy Plum, operator of the Pixie Kingdom and bestower of silly names Biscuit, a talkative hamster Pinecone, a riding-pug Zephixo, dwarven inventor and mastermind behind the Mystery Mine Ernest Wilde, middle-aged calliope master currently inhabiting the body of his pet monkey Marigold, his button-collecting goblin assistant Dirlagraun, a kindly but inefficient displacer beast, minder of lost children and property Thaco, a bubble-smoking clown who is long past his prime
Certain Things Were Said
"Worried I was, with talk of missing supper." - Arix Specklefoot
"Could you not just purchase a new pair?" - Skerrek Tirael "Not like this, man." - Sylenos
"If you'd see the things I've seen, you'd smoke a bubble pipe, too." - Thaco
"Is this it?" - Dirlagraun "NO." - Everyone
Part III: On the Trail of the Kenku
What Just Happened? (In the style of The Hunting of the Snark)"Where the heck is our stuff? We just want to know This Harengon ain't getting bigger, Arix has no idea of where to go And lies send poor Skerrek a-quiver!"
"Would you get back to work?" Mister Light cried, Twirling his cane with a smile, "Otherwise find where this kenku pest hides; She's cramping this carnival's style!"
"Well, that was a bust," said our heroes, conferring, "Anyone got a suggestion? If we need to pull strings to get back our things Then there are some folk we should question."
"Time's an illusion, free will a delusion!" Sylenos' mentor decreed, "Get a contusion battling occlusions, Or relax and have some of this…wait, what was I saying?"
Sylenos proclaimed: "A genius flawed!" "A man/dragon ahead of his time." Skerrek looked at his claws; Holafina at paws, And the other two just rolled their eyes
"A centuar I'm not! I just made a bad trade The "Cloppinton's" just serendipitous, Now lend me your aid and you'll maybe persuade These horsies to drop some significance."
Then they took to the skies on a dragonfly ride (Holafina and Skerrek abreast), When you're this high there's just nowhere to hide (And to which Sylenos attests)
Now Skerrek honed on a runaway gnome Who was fleeing the carnage with glee, Holafina struck home and that's it for this poem For the gnome was the kenku, you see.
Dramatis Personae
Mister Witch, a matter-of-fact elf, devoid of pretense Mister Light, a flamboyant elf, luminous and coy Burly, a philosophical, pumpkin-helmeted bugbear Mandragon, a seeker of truth (and not much else) Diana Cloppington, a centaur who is apparently not, operator of the Carousel Northwind, a very forthcoming treant, operator of the Dragonfly Rides
Certain Things Were Said
"There’s something weird going on. For some reason everyone thinks I don’t do anything around the carnival." - Sylenos
"It's true, Miss Cloppinton! We've ALL lost things." - Arix Specklefoot
"Wait, when did we have biscuits?" - Jexim
Part IV: Through the Looking Glass
What Just Happened? (In the style of A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky)Now hear the Kenku’s strange reply (As Arix struggles to apply Triage to these pixie guys)
Asking questions, getting nought Set her on a different course: High sabotage without remorse!
And what has got her so irate Is what’s she trying to intimate: Zybilna has been quiet of late!
Ignore the rest, and let’s take flight To confront dear Witch and Light (Surprisingly, they’re quite contrite)
To keep the carnival in motion A tapestry of lies was woven: A deal with the Hourglass Coven!
Who take from those who can’t afford Entrance through the Witchlight’s doors Miscellanea adored
So THAT’s who taken all your junk! Time to find these Hourglass punks! Which way to this Feywild dump?
But first we’ll make a brief aside So Candlefoot can vocalise His mermaid love (now legalised)
Now the pair can tie the knot And while we’re passing time why not Ride the fabled Bubble Pot?
Yet ere you all are translocated (Everybody’s breath now bated) Arix must be coronated!
The time of truth has come at last Hesitation as you pass Though the hallowed looking glass
Are you afraid to lose your minds? What lies ahead? What lies behind? What do you expect to find?
Will Skerrek ever fabricate? Or Holafina emulate A bunny’s median height and weight?
Shall Jexim’s memoirs find acclaim? Can Monty locate Bobbitt Fane? (…hang on, that’s a different game)
Does Arix ever find the door? And will Sylennos flee the cause To study unemployment law?
Dramatis Personae
Kettlesteam, a mischievous patron of Zybilna Paleesha, a mellifluous mermaid, now reunited with Candlefoot
Certain Things Were Said
“Sylenos, perhaps in eight years you can come back and find your lost employment.” - Skerrek
“Ask me where the exit is.” - Arix Specklefoot “Where is the exit?” - Mister Light “I don’t know.” - Arix

2024.05.15 08:29 Responsible_Spite736 Is my rib a bad placement for this tattoo?
 | Basically what the title says. For context, this would be my first tattoo. I am heavily pierced and have an alternative style anyway, so I’m not completely new to body modification, but it is my first tattoo. I consulted my boyfriend about it, and he was actually kind of mean to me which is not what I expected. After I told him, he barely talked to me for 2 days after, and when I confronted him about why he’s been ignoring me he sends me a pic of the tattoo. He immediately tells me that it’s a super dumb idea, and the tattoo looks stupid. He continues to go on talking about how he just doesn’t understand why I’d want this tattoo, telling me straight up it will look bad. submitted by Responsible_Spite736 to tattooadvice [link] [comments] It obviously hurt my feelings and so I just dropped the conversation and moved on. He later apologized to me, saying he was sorry for overreacting and using unnecessary language, but still stood his ground that he doesn’t like the tattoo idea. When I asked him why this time, he basically said he doesn’t like tattoos in general, and that he doesn’t think I’d be able to pull it off, but ESPECIALLY because of the placement. He said it looks like a wrist tattoo, or forearm or something, and looks out of place and awkward on the ribs. He told me it’d look like a blemish.He proceeded to tell me he told his friends about the situation and apparently they all agreed that the tattoo itself is bad and the placement makes it worse (in a nutshell). I was so excited for this, I didn’t have any second thoughts about the design or placement until now. Obviously I know that it only matters if I like it, but at the same time, if something is objectively bad like I’m being told this tattoo is, it makes me second guess. Sorry about the long read. I’m not trying to write a sob story, and while my feelings are a little hurt I’d rather just know honestly if there’s something objectively wrong or ugly about it |

So, the other day I was listening to some bachaton songs when all of a sudden an idea came to my head, "what would reggaeton fused with salsa sound like?"
I decided to search for some songs and I completely fell in love with this blend of styles, I really like how the piano over the beats sound and how some songs even add trumpets
I then made a playlist but so far I've only found 5 songs at the moment of writing this, what do you think of this fusion? Do you know any other songs like this?
Here's the playlist:

2024.05.15 08:18 teenageechobanquet Suggest me a Stephen King book for someone who doesn’t like Stephen King?
I love horror..just don’t really jam with his writing style.His ideas are cool on the surface but that’s about it for me.I tried, The Shining and I just couldn’t make it all the way through…I understand racial issues during plot,but I just feel like he got a bit carried away with the language.The Institute,Fairy Tale,Eyes of the Dragon,and Later were okay,but just not too into them.He’s got so many books my friend says I should at least give him another try before I give up.My favorite horror authors are Clive Barker,Ray Bradbury,Christopher Buehlman,Robert McCammon,Poe,and Lovecraft if that helps.I also love books like The Haunting of Hill House,Psycho,and Dracula

2024.05.15 08:12 Agreeable-Plan-8878 Important Things I Learned About Communication
 | https://preview.redd.it/hqi0arqedj0d1.png?width=451&format=png&auto=webp&s=63f9a1e78971f3d24c5922f8ff0ed68a31e34127 submitted by Agreeable-Plan-8878 to u/Agreeable-Plan-8878 [link] [comments] Communication is important in our everyday lives. It allows us to connect with others, share ideas, and build relationships. In this blog, I will share what I have learned about communication, which has helped me become a better communicator. I will discuss prepositions of place and their different types, such as talking and asking about locations, and asking and giving directions, comparative and superlative adjectives, comparing, contrasting and classifying. The Importance of Clear Communication One of the most important things I learned is the importance of clear communication. When we communicate clearly, we make sure that our message is understood.
o Talking about Locations. When we talk about where things are, we use words like "here" or "there" to describe places. o Asking about Location. When we want to know where something is, we ask questions like, "Where is it?" o Asking for Directions. When we need to find a place, we ask people to tell us how to get there. o Giving Directions. When we know how to get to a place, we tell others which way to go.
Using comparative adjectives like "faster" and superlative adjectives like "best" helps us explain our preferences and opinions. These adjectives make our communication more precise and effective.
Direct communication is often clearer and faster, but it can sometimes seem rude. Indirect communication can be more polite but might be confusing. Understanding these differences helps us choose the best way to communicate in different situations. Using comparative adjectives like "clearer" and "more polite" helps us describe these styles better.
Verbal communication includes speaking and writing. Non-verbal communication includes body language and facial expressions. By classifying these methods, we can explain the different ways we communicate. Contrasting these methods, we might say, "Verbal communication is often clearer, but non-verbal cues can show true feelings." |

2024.05.15 08:03 Janube 34[M4F] - Michigan - Seeking Life Partner for Picnics in a Stygian Void Together
Hi! The world is an existential nightmare, but it could be a nightmare we share!
I'm a professional writer and game designer looking for a long-term relationship. 30s- no kids (past or future), no prior marriages, no addictive substances (except sugar). Pretty far left political stances. I'm mostly fit (though my cardio is garbo), slender, and 6'0, and I've been told I'm handsome if you like guys with shaved heads- Ideally would like to be with someone similar and generally around my age +/- 9 years.
While I've been called "the most real person I've met with online dating," I should warn you ahead of time, that's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective. Can't promise everyone will see me as a lovable scamp, but you'll hopefully at least find me authentic.
I'd love to meet someone curious, clever, and confident. Bonus points for people with gothy/punk/alternative styles, but that's not a dealbreaker or anything (I would like someone to help me pick out tattoos). No smokers, please! That is a dealbreaker.
I've been around enough to know what I'm looking for and not to settle. I strive for (and expect in return) open communication, honesty, a problem-solving attitude towards conflict, and compassion/empathy/understanding/patience. Self-improvement and being up-front are important to me. Communication has recently been a problem with prospective partners over the last couple years, so I want to stress that I'm not the right fit for someone who's conflict-avoidant or who doesn't approach their partner with the benefit of the doubt. For me, there's no point in a relationship if you can't trust each other and feel safe with each other even when you disagree about something.
I try to be a patient, understanding, and kind person who takes responsibility for his mistakes and tries to grow from them. I'm not perfect, and I don't expect perfection. I just want someone who works with me, complementing my rough edges while I complement theirs. We're both human and we ought to give each other the benefit of the doubt if at all possible.
I'm definitely more of a homebody/introvert, but I like walks, swimming, working out, and indoor rock climbing. But you're more likely to find me playing some kind of game. I'm affectionate and mostly silly even if I take a lot of topics seriously. I try to view life with humor, but I've got anxiety/depression, so I'd prefer to be with someone who at least understands mental health issues. I love a faux-combative dynamic with partners - giving each other low-key shit. Life's no fun unless we're being a little mean to each other (Them Statler and Waldorf vibes, right?)
It generally takes me a minute to warm up to someone, but I try to let prospective partners dictate the flow of conversation initially so they feel comfortable. I'm flexible in my approach overall, but I usually hold off on talking about physical intimacy for a second. Though it's faster if we click just right.
I try to measure my words very carefully (to make sure I mean what I say and say what I mean, if you know what I mean), but when I know what to say, I tend to text in paragraphs (AS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL), so fair warning. But, I'd ideally like to be with someone who can do comfortable silence too. I just like existing with friends or partners, even if we're doing something totally separate.
If you weren't driven insane by my writing style/density, please give me a holler - Let's be snarky weirdos together! (I would really appreciate a picture with your message if you're comfortable with it. I just don't want to waste your time if the attraction's not there!)

As a current college student (or recent grad), I wanted to share some writing tips that have helped me navigate the often daunting world of college essays and research papers. Whether you’re a freshman just getting started or a senior tackling your thesis, these tips should make the writing process a bit smoother.
1. Start Early and Plan Ahead
Procrastination is the enemy. Start your writing assignments as early as possible. Create a timeline with mini-deadlines to keep yourself on track. Breaking down the assignment into smaller tasks can make it less overwhelming.
2. Understand the Assignment
Before you start writing, make sure you understand what the assignment requires. Read the prompt carefully, and if anything is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask your professor for clarification.
3. Create an Outline
Outlines are incredibly helpful in organizing your thoughts and structuring your paper. An outline ensures that your paper flows logically from one point to the next, which makes for a more coherent and persuasive argument.
4. Use Credible Sources
Make sure to use reputable sources for your research. Academic journals, books, and trusted websites (like .edu and .gov domains) are great places to start. Always check the credibility of your sources to avoid misinformation.
5. Develop a Strong Thesis Statement
Your thesis statement is the backbone of your essay. It should be clear, concise, and convey the main argument of your paper. Spend time refining your thesis until it accurately reflects the purpose of your essay.
6. Write Multiple Drafts
Your first draft is just that – a draft. Don’t be discouraged if it’s not perfect. Use it as a foundation to build on. Revise and rewrite until you’re satisfied with the final product. Each draft should be better than the last.
7. Proofread and Edit
Never submit a paper without proofreading it. Look out for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Editing is also about improving clarity and coherence. Consider reading your paper out loud or having someone else review it for you.
8. Cite Your Sources
Plagiarism is a serious offense in academia. Make sure to properly cite all the sources you use in your paper according to the required citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). There are many citation tools available online to help with this.
9. Seek Feedback
Don’t be afraid to seek feedback from peers, professors, or writing centers on campus. Constructive criticism can provide new perspectives and insights that can improve your paper significantly.
10. Practice Self-Care
Writing can be stressful, especially when deadlines are looming. Remember to take breaks, get enough sleep, and maintain a healthy balance. A clear mind will make your writing process much more efficient.
Hope these tips help you ace your next writing assignment! What other writing strategies have worked for you? Share your thoughts and experiences below.

2024.05.15 07:55 avatarroku157 I wish movies like the classic pixar films were being made today
I just finished rewatching ratatouille for the first time in awhile, and it got me thinking ".... this is a masterpiece that hasn't been matched in a very long time". The story, the abstract nature, the intricacies, all were jaw dropping. And while I was loving all of this, I also noticed something that was missing from a lot of modern animation; the realness.
When I think of all the pixar movies from Up Prior, I have a sense of realness from these movies that underlines the wackiness that happens on the surface. Let's take monsters Inc for example. On the surface, it's a bunch of wacky monsters getting scared of a child. But the working at an energy plant, the impressing your date at a restaurant, the differing relations, all of this felt like it could have been pulled from real life, just reskinned a exaggerated. I talked with my dad about this movie awhile back, and he said it felt almost exactly like his experiences working at a power plant in the 90s-2000s.
Being able to capture something so vast, yet so intimate is honestly..... just amazing. They give me a sense of warmth that I don't feel with any other type of animation movie (hell, most live action ones from today too). And the things in ratatouille, the logical yet annoying arguments with my dad, a passion to create something to be enjoyed, the stresses of a first job, even the 2 background rats that are a kid and his grandpa are all things that hit home to me on some level that makes me reflect on how I relate to my own experiences.
In today's animation..... I don't really see this being a thing anymore. At least not to the same scale as those big pixar movies. Let's take 2 of my favorite animations that came out recently; Arcane and spiderman; into the spiderverse. Both of these series are absolutely phenomenal. Great writing, great stories, and animation so beautiful that they redefine what the genre can be. Yet within these shows, and don't mistake me as saying this is a flaw, I don't get that sense of realness I did with ratatouille. Instead I feel a sense of being transported to a other world, unrelated to my own. The themes, acting, and details are so big and grandiose that I just have no sense of connection to them.
All animation, even the more smaller projects, I feel are suffering from this. I kinda recognize this thing I've been dubbing "the anime affect" where a lot of media, in some form or another, heavily copy multiple techniques in multiple different ways, and not just visual style. Some of these are fairly easy to notice, like archetypes used in a lot of animated shows, while others are a bit harder to notice, like the general shift to grande messages in media (arcane) over more personal, intimate messages you need to relate to (ratatouille).
It goes a bit further, in the sense that even the most talented art I've seen lacks originality in some sense or another. Both arcane and into the spiderverse are based of existing IP's, and a lot of indie animation calls back to something else. Look at newgrounds and you'll see they're mostly fan animations of some sort or are based off something like a DND setup. I recently discovered a whole sub section of animators who stylize themeselves after old ps1/n64 graphics. While I love this type of content and watch it daily, rewatching old pixar has made me realize that a lot of animation is kind of..... unoriginal. My tastes not excluded.
Compared with the animation of pixar, I would say most animations and animators are mostly focused of spectacle and escapism today. Which is a shame, because those real life influences that inspired early pixar, and other early animation fields (think cowboy bebop, shrek, paprika) left very positive impacts on those who watched them. And while I don't think the more escapist realm animation is in today can't do that, that personal feeling that makes you feel related to is such a powerful thing that I think we all could benefit from bringing back more.
It's also not completely missing these days either. While there isn't much on the big screen anymore, independent animators have been Making incredibly personal and realistic styles to their artwork. The medium has infinite ways to show POVs from all walks of life. I just hope that I'll see a big project, like the older pixar films, grace the big screen yet again.

2024.05.15 07:31 diatribai Is Shinto as important in Japan as depicted in animes?
I hope this is a fair question to ask. Recently I've learned how far from Japanese reality most animes are. This is, of course, normal; fiction is where our imagination can roam free. But, exemplifying with high school animes, hair styles and uniforms are strictly kept in check, there are no love confessions every break (or at all at school?), girls don't cook bentos for everyone, many times you can't even go to rooftops, although this is a must in these animes.
I've noticed that in many animes there are visits to Shinto shrines, which seem to be popular in Japan. But they also go further and incorporate a certain religious reverence. There are obviously animes really into Shinto, like Natsume Book of Friends or Mushi shi, that delve into Shinto elements because they are so good for fiction writing. But there's often depicted in regular, non-"magical" animes a sort of Shinto religiosity, where the characters seem to take seriously a deference to deities or yokai, or are very serious about going to shrines and making wishes there.
Thus, **my question:** How important is Shinto in everyday life in Japan (like, for most Japanese people)? Are animes maybe overstating it? Wikipedia has some bizarre numbers stating both that 60% of all people don't have a religion, 30% are Buddhists and only 3% follow Shinto, and that Shinto is the most popular religion there(!). Is Shinto really something woven into Japanese society or is this more like the girls cooking bentos and nosebleeds in anime, that is, like a common trope that makes it easy for the viewer to understand the seriousness of it, even though 60% of people aren't truly religious?
As you might notice, I'm not very familiar with Shinto either so apologies if I made a mistake!

2024.05.15 07:25 eleciahadley How to get ex back help of genuine astrologer vashikaran specialist
 | Vashikaran astrology to get love backAstrology, or Jyotish, studies celestial bodies and their influence on human life, playing a pivotal role in various aspects, including relationships. Vashikaran, distinct from astrology, is a Tantra-derived practice using mantras and rituals to influence or control others, primarily executed by Tantriks harnessing the Daivat mantra and their own aatmbal.This article delves into how astrology and Vashikaran can be harnessed as proven techniques to reclaim lost love, exploring their roles and applications in mending relationships. Through practical techniques and successful case studies, readers will gain insights into reigniting love and the transformative power of these ancient practices. Understanding Astrology and Its Role in RelationshipsAstrology, often viewed as a guide for personal and romantic insights, holds a significant place in many people's lives when it comes to relationships. However, it's important to recognize that astrology is not scientifically proven to influence relationships or guarantee romantic reconciliation. The effectiveness of astrology in matters of love remains subjective and lacks empirical backing. Many turn to astrology to understand potential compatibility through various astrological signs and elements such as Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, each associated with specific zodiac signs.https://preview.redd.it/fwlf1zax0j0d1.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8eddf78efaaae834c1f1de1a9eb9828f34eef68e Astrological Elements and Relationship DynamicsFire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Often passionate and dynamic, which can bring intensity to relationships.Earth Signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo): Known for their stability and practicality, potentially offering a grounding effect in partnerships. Air Signs (Gemini, Aquarius, Libra): Typically communicative and intellectual, which can foster mental stimulation and connection. Water Signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio): Deeply emotional and intuitive, possibly enhancing emotional bonds in relationships. While astrology can provide a fascinating lens to view compatibility and personal traits, relying solely on astrological matches may lead to unrealistic expectations or a dependency on predetermined outcomes, which overlooks the essential personal effort required in relationships 3. It is crucial to understand that successful relationships are influenced by mutual respect, effective communication, and shared values, which are not determined by the stars. Astrology can offer insights into one's personality and preferences, which might help in understanding each other better in a relationship context. For instance, knowing whether a partner prefers communication styles that align with their astrological sign can aid in smoother interactions. Additionally, astrology might suggest favorable times for significant relationship decisions, like marriage or other joint commitments. Get love back after breakup However, a comprehensive approach that includes both astrological understanding and practical relationship skills, like communication and emotional intelligence, is more likely to contribute to the success and health of a relationship. Exploring Vashikaran for Love ReconciliationVashikaran, an ancient practice integral to Indian customs, involves using specific mantras and rituals to influence or control a person's feelings and actions, particularly in romantic relationships. This mystical technique is employed to attract a specific person or rekindle a fading relationship, often facilitated by a Vashikaran specialist. However, the effectiveness and ethical implications of using Vashikaran are subjects of significant debate. Vashikaran Techniques and Their ApplicationsMantras and Yantras: Vashikaran mantras are ancient and are believed to tap into astronomical energies to fulfill the desires of the practitioner. Alongside, Vashikaran Yantras are used to control a person's mind, necessitating positive intentions and the guidance of experienced astrologers or tantriks. Specialist Involvement: A genuine Vashikaran specialist plays a crucial role in ensuring the process is performed ethically and correctly, aiming to control thoughts and actions for reclaiming lost love. Ethical Considerations: Despite its popularity, Vashikaran is controversial, often viewed as manipulative and against Dharma. It is vital to approach these practices with caution, considering the moral implications and the potential for negative consequences. Potential Outcomes and Risks Effectiveness: The time for Vashikaran to take effect can vary greatly, influenced by factors such as the target's resistance, the Tantrik’s power, and the specific method used. Controversies and Misuse: The use of Vashikaran mantras to gain control over someone's will is often seen as unethical and akin to black magic. Misuse can lead to serious repercussions for both the practitioner and the target, highlighting the importance of using such practices sparingly and with good intent. In the context of love and relationships, while Vashikaran promises a solution to attract or regain a lost partner, it is essential to weigh its ethical considerations and potential risks carefully. Practical Techniques to Reignite Love Vashikaran Mantras and Rituals Addressing Marriage Conflicts: Utilizing Vashikaran can enhance understanding and strengthen bonds between partners, thus addressing core issues in marriage conflicts. Divorce Prevention: Specific Vashikaran mantras are designed to ease tensions and encourage compromise, potentially preventing divorce proceedings. Family Harmony: Implementing Vashikaran mantras can also foster harmony, understanding, and unity within family settings. Daily Practices for Relationship Strengthening Open Communication: Regular sharing of daily experiences and maintaining open lines of communication are fundamental in building trust and resolving relationship issues. Specialist Guidance: Consulting a love marriage specialist can provide tailored advice for partners considering reuniting after a breakup. Mantra Instructions for Relationship Mending Basic Mantra Practice: Familiarize with the mantra, chant it 100,000 times for mastery, and then 14 times with the desired person’s name to rekindle the relationship. Avoiding Divorce: Chant a specific mantra 81 times over 11 days with a focus on the partner seeking divorce to avoid separation. Reigniting Love: The simplest yet powerful Vashikaran mantra should be chanted 3 to 5 times daily with sincere intentions to restore lost love. Advanced Rituals for Deeper Connection Blissful Union:Enhance the joy and depth in a relationship by performing a ritual involving mantra chanting and placing a couple's photograph under candles. Eternal Commitment: Solidify long-term commitment by lighting a white candle, meditating on its flame, and chanting a dedicated mantra. Passion Resurgence: To reignite passion, create a ritual space with candles, write down past grievances, burn the paper, and chant a specific mantra. Ethical Considerations and Effectiveness Moral Implications: While Vashikaran mantras can create a positive atmosphere, it's crucial to consider the ethical implications and ensure the intentions are pure. Patience and Practice: Achieving the desired outcomes with Vashikaran requires patience, time, and consistent practice. Successful Case Studies and Testimonials Vashikaran Specialist Consultations Astro Pavan Sharma ji World famous: Recognized for his expertise in Lost Love Back Astrology, Acharya PK Sharma recommends consulting Astro Pk Ji for trusted astrological advice on rekindling love. Personal Experiences and Opinions Aakash Kumar: An MBA graduate who emphasizes the importance of genuine apologies and expressing true feelings over seeking astrological or tantrik help. User Experience: A user shares their regret after spending approximately 60K on astrologers without success, cautioning against high financial expectations set by certain practitioners. Chris Longford: Critiques the reliance on astrology for personal decisions, labeling it as nonsensical and attributive to coincidence, highlighting the skepticism surrounding astrological practices. Ethical and Practical Warnings Sakshi Singh: Warns against the dangers of obsessively pursuing an ex, advising individuals to focus on personal happiness and well-being instead. Jaya Surya: An astrology student who cautions against the severe potential consequences of using tantrik methods in personal relationships. Conclusion Throughout this exploration of astrology and Vashikaran, we have uncovered their roles and applications in navigating the complexities of love and relationships. Astrology offers insights into compatibility and relationship dynamics, albeit without empirical backing, encouraging a more profound understanding of oneself and one's partner. On the other hand, Vashikaran presents a more controversial approach, wielding the power to influence and rekindle love through specific rituals and mantras, while also prompting a nuanced discussion on ethical considerations and the implications of such practices. Given the insights and case studies presented, it is clear that the journey to mend or enhance relationships spans beyond the realms of celestial influence and mystical practices. Both astrology and Vashikaran prompt individuals to reflect on their personal commitments, ethical boundaries, and the depths of their intentions. As we consider these ancient practices in the context of modern relationships, it remains crucial to balance spiritual or mystical solutions with practical, ethical considerations and interpersonal communication, fostering relationships built on mutual respect, understanding, and genuine connection. FAQs 1. Is it possible for vashikaran to reunite me with my ex-partner? While there is no definite assurance that using vashikaran, specifically the recitation of love mantras, will result in reuniting with an ex-partner, it can serve as a significant method for personal development and introspection. The practice of mantras establishes a positive and concentrated intention, which could potentially lead to attracting more favorable circumstances into your life. 2. Can astrology help in restoring a lost love? Astrology can indeed be a potent instrument for understanding the dynamics that may have led to a separation, and it can offer valuable insights. By examining these aspects, astrology may provide suitable remedies that could facilitate a reconciliation with a lost love. 3. What are some effective methods to win back the love of my life? To rekindle a lost love, consider these 10 effective strategies: Comprehend the underlying issues within the relationship. Accept the situation, let go, and be willing to move forward. Engage in effective communication. Invest time and effort in your personal growth. Maintain honesty in your interactions. Embrace a romantic approach. Resolve any misunderstandings that may exist. Leverage your shared social circles by connecting with mutual friends. 4. What is a powerful mantra that can be chanted for love? The Kamdev Gayatri Mantra is highly regarded for its potency in matters of love. It goes as follows: “Om Kamadevaya Vidmahe, Pushpabanaya Dhimahi, Tanno Anang Prachodayat.” This mantra honors Lord Kamdev, the god of love and desire, and its recitation is an appeal to the divine to infuse one's life with the energies of love and passion.

Each week, three RWBY-related topics will be posted (subject to ties and special events!). Participants can write a short piece of fiction or dialogue based on that prompt. When writing, the suggestion is to aim for 1k-3k words, however, this is not a requirement. There is no goal - this is not a popularity contest - just write and have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)SPOILERS:
Reminder that the spoiler embargo for Volume 9 and the Justice League movie has been lifted! You are all now free to make posts about the two without needing to spoiler tag it.
Rules (gore, NSFW, spoilers etc.)
The rules are the same as the sub's posting guidelines. Nobody here wants to see your story taken down, so please refer to them before contributing! If someone chooses to ignore these rules, the post will be removed.Additional information
Pre-writing is welcome! /rwbyprompts is a sub with writing as a focus - there you will find an archive of all the threads as well as a somewhat fleshed-out wiki with odds and ends. :) A detailed spreadsheet of WPW things is here! Keep in mind that this houses a lot of the old prompts, but it also has links and things like early participation to previous WPW threads. We're trying this whole week-to-week thing in the face of the bajillion prompts we had built up. We might do something with them, or people might cycle them back in, who knows what could happen??Find us on Discord at The Qrow's Nest! The permanent invite has been deleted due to Discord bot shenanigans, so dm shand if you want an invite!
The Prompts!:
Surprise! We're doing them all this week - have fun! :DTeam RWBY, plus Zwei, and Team JNPR play pirates. RWBY, except all songs are written by Sabaton. Atlas makes a space elevator near Vale and Vale is not happy with it. All out war resumes and the use of aerial drones are being used. As a joke, Yang sends pretend Valentines between the most random pairings of people she can think of. She’s shocked when all of them end up together. Team RWBY somehow travels back in time and encounters Team STRQ of the past. When Blake left her family to stay with the White Fang, she became the extremist, not Adam. Ozma agrees with Salem's plans to rule both humanity and the Faunus as the new Gods of Remnant, and has no regrets. After forsaking her mortal inheritance, Weiss is now eligible to be a Queen of the Winter Court of Fae, which is returning to Remnant for the first time since the Brother Gods abandoned it. "
