You can't do much, but you are pretty fun to cuddle on a cold winter's night. Also, knights keep trying to fight you and steal your horde of turnips. | “At last we meet, villain!”
I sighed as the fifth challenge this week rang out from behind me.
“In the name of the king, I, Ser Vorrick, shall vanquish thee!”
I sighed again, more loudly this time. It was the kind of sigh that sounded distinctly unnatural, the kind of sound you made when you wanted someone to know ... | "Turnips, Turnips Turnips."

Sort of like the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but with dragons. | At twenty years of age, everyone receives their own dragon.

[WP] Ever since the discovery of FTL-travel, the history of the galaxy has been unfolded to a horrifying truth; everything is dead and has been dead for millions of years. | Artemis Finn had been running exploration for centuries. The advent of the neural net - complex nano-machinery that enhanced the mind in drastic fashion - and the advances in cloning technology meant that even without FTL travel, humans had the means to live indefinitely and this explore the universe. His old ship had ... | I can see the sadness in her green eyes. We have been traveling thousands of light-years to find a planet and maybe a life form that is similar to ours.
18 months ago, when we left our friends, our family we realised that everything we left behind will be depending on us. Not only humankind also everything lives on t... | 2019-10-26T13:13:04 | 2019-10-26T11:34:49 | 41 | 30 |
[WP] You are part of a spacefaring species with a lifespan of only a few weeks. You have a human being on your ship who has been with you for dozens of generations. You worry that he may not survive until you reach your next spaceport. | Scentless held six of my infants, still sealed in their cocoon, rocking gently. One of them twitched, kicking it in the manipulator-organ. It produced that barking noise that humans use to express pleasure. ("Laughter," it is called.)
It spoke, and the voice was very different from the memories I'd ingested from my fo... | \[poem\]
Human is just another word for forever
Life in the stars with you is all we've known
You're a part of us, without you is never
This is the only path to guide us home.

My father told me you are the guiding Star
His father always said the same thing too

[WP] Write a letter to someone you miss
It's been a rough week. Everyone has someone they wish were still with them. Write to them and tell them how you feel. Pour your heart out. No judging. Even if they never see it, someone will. And thank you. It's tough to be alone. | Dear Me,
I miss you. I miss the way you used to be. You used to care. You used to try your hardest. Now all you do is say, I'll do it later. I can see that you're struggling. Yet, you have more friends than you ever did, and you know what you want to do with your life.
But still, when it comes to day-to-day stuff, yo... | Joyous.
You were the strongest woman I knew. You were the definition of Grace and poise and I wanted nothing more than to be better people together.
The sheer amount of inspiration you gave was unmeasurable.
I hate you so much for doing this....why didn't you pick up your phone....
I hate that you chose me. Why did... | 2017-11-05T22:02:16 | 2017-11-05T19:59:24 | 1,095 | 92 |

I just want to say tha... | "Harry?" Dudley asked, his eyes wide. No, this couldn't be...
"Hi, Big D," Harry said, a little grin on his lips. "How have you been?"
"I- " The words caught in Dudly's throat. This couldn't be *him.* Could it? The Harry he knew was thin as a beanpole with unruly hair and second-hand clothes. Not to mention *short*. ... | He’s old now, Dudley thinks as he stares at his cousin, no stranger, on his doorstep. There’s a touch of grey at his temples, and the beginnings of smile lines by his eyes. He’s been happy since he left, and Dudley was glad for it.
“Hullo Big D.” He says simply, a smile caught in the corners of his mouth. He was weari... | 2019-10-16T11:51:43 | 2019-10-16T11:44:39 | 213 | 94 |
[WP] Write about a unique relationship between an immortal and a time traveler. | "I'm the god, but you're the one who seems to be playing Him."
Karl's hard brow creased as he stared unblinking at the man he believed to be his friend.
"Please." The other said, removing his stainless steel goggles from his forehead. Red circles remained pressed into his skin which bent as he lifted eyes, pleading... | "Need me to grab anything from the cafeteria baby? A brownie, a cake, anything?" she looked at me with those crystal blue eyes and smirked, "a hot nurse?"
"I'll take three of those and a camcorder please" I whimpered pleadingly.
"You're a cunt, but I'll do it for the sake of our relationship" she said with a defea... | 2015-05-03T05:46:59 | 2015-05-03T03:49:02 | 28 | 13 |
[WP] A planet and its moon both have intelligent life. For 400 years they have watched each other through telescopes. Now one of them is launching its first rocket to pay the other their first visit. | The great observatory had for fifty years been led by Corvin Vincor. He was known as a man of honor. Whenever he vomited seminal fluid he would clean up after himself and offer his apologies. He took care not to step on anyone's tails, a habit that had allowed him to hold his position for an unprecedented amount of tim... | "Did you hear? Those filthy Waxicons are on there way here," said the cashier at the grocery store.
"No, I hadn't heard," I lied. She had never talked to me before, despite the fact I've gotten my groceries at her father's store twice a week for the last three years. I had always chosen her line even if it was longer... | 2018-07-05T08:05:08 | 2018-07-05T04:53:04 | 135 | 93 |
[WP] You, a wizard, have accidentally misread some cursive writing and summoned a lemon instead of the intended demon. Turns out, your new companion is a lot more powerful than you thought.
Kinda based off of a thingy I saw on the internet
EDIT: That's a lotta likes
EDIT: I found the guy that made the comic! /u/JimK... | "Well," you offer, "This is awkward." You cast a glance to the fruit of your labour.
The Lemon says nothing. You furiously double check your notes for the summoning ritual.
"There's... nothing here about what to do if *this* happens," You swallow nervously, "Because this is obviously *not* supposed to happen."
The L... | With bags under my eyes, I shrugged in defeat. My Mistress of Magic, she would have known where I went wrong. I placed a simple magical seal on my... work, and quickly went to bed. The journey to arrive to this unceremonious conclusion, the candle placement, the alignment of the stars, and one bag of tiny marshmallows,... | 2019-03-10T00:09:03 | 2019-03-09T21:41:41 | 30 | 11 |
[WP] You want so badly to be a Hero. But your powers are, frankly, terrifying. Heroes struggle to trust you, and all the older Villains keep trying to mentor you. | I only discovered I had powers a few years ago and I'm still figuring things out. Normally, the League of Super Heroes or the Guild of Super Villains would have hired a new Super Person almost immediately, but not me. You see, unlike heroes my power doesn't let me hide my identity. Unlike villains, I can't get away wit... | I don't get why everybody is so against bagpipes.
I mean, they are an effective way of defending against planar outsiders.
Ok, I might have a nuisance to everybody there, but the sound produced by bagpipes is empirically proven to highly irritating on all lifeforms with hearing abilities.
This could be especially tr... | 2022-10-28T15:03:52 | 2022-10-28T10:45:41 | 94 | 52 |
[WP] Aliens have contacted Earth and has informed them that 3 Earthly Inhabitants will be chosen to prove to the extraterrestrials that the planet should be spared from complete annihilation, they took a houseplant, a puppy, and a roomba. Hijinks ensue. | "-So then they took my Aloe plant that I glued to my roomba, and my little whippet-terrier mix puppy, Carlos-" The Joint Chiefs cut me off again.
"Excuse my unprofessional expression, Lieutenant," That was Rear Admiral Horn, currently representing the Navy, "But why in the goddamn fuck did you glue a houseplant to yo... | “NASA!! CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?!?”
“PRESIDENT, SIR! CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?!!”
They watched in mutual horror as the events on the spacecraft, already floating past Mars, went underway.

[WP] start your story with a sentence that is upbeat and happy. Then end it with that same sentence but this time is dark and chilling. | Her eyes are beautiful.
When I first saw her, walking through the school corridors, I knew that she was the one. I couldn't take my eyes off her. It didn't take me long to figure out her class timetable. I started to watch her from afar, making sure that she wouldn't notice me watching her. In fact, I had to make sur... | “Run!”
We would laugh as we played. Our little legs would carry us across the field, while our short arms would try reaching for one another to not be it.
I loved after school games. They were relaxing, and a nice (69) liberation from my pre school life. Time always just seemed to repeat when we played. It was like... | 2019-09-07T06:54:50 | 2019-09-07T06:14:40 | 76 | 48 |
[WP] You're the "weakling" tea maker. People think you're a burden on the hero's party. But it's the enchantments from your premium teas that boost the party to world-class. Bandits kidnap you to blackmail the hero. Leaving you in a cell with your tea supplies was a mistake. It's tea time. | The most ridiculous part of this was just how blatantly I could get away with it. Hardly anyone took magical tea seriously (Fire breathing dragons? Sure. Floating blobs that paralyze you when you touch them? Look out! Magical tea leaves? Pfft.) so when I asked for my supplies so I could make myself a cup to calm my ner... | "You know, it's refreshing being able to talk to someone about this. I mean, *genuinely* talk to someone, you know?" I said and looked at the man next to me. He stared blankly into the distance, not choosing to answer. I took another sip of my tea.
"People always think I'm just a drag on my brother and his fellow hero... | 2022-08-22T12:11:13 | 2022-08-22T12:02:49 | 956 | 590 |
