fairytales which tell you to be both kind and clever fairytales that say to be kind is to be clever and to be clever is to be kind fairytales that say the cleverest thing you can ever do is choose kindness and that cruelty or thoughtlessness are always foolish but not kindness never kindness
you bring oil for the gate and food for the dog and clean out the oven and bake bread in it and the oven will hide you and the dog will not betray you and the gate will stay open for you and close on your pursuers, to be clever is just to know that if you are good in a world made of rules, goodness will be returned to you.
In [fairy tales], power is rarely the right tool for survival anyway. Rather the powerless thrive on alliances, often in the form of reciprocated acts of kindness —from beehives that were not raided, birds that were not killed but set free or fed, old women who were saluted with respect. Kindness sown among the meek is harvested in crisis.

You always wanted to be a Healer. Unfortunately, your dad was an Necromancer and your mother a Demon Summoner. So your healing was a bit… unconventional to say the least.
“Listen, is he alive? Technically, no. But his body is moving and his soul is controlling it, so frankly I don’t see a problem.”

fantasy characters: “Geez”

In moments like this I always fall back on the fact that they also aren’t speaking English because they don’t have England or the many languages and conquering peoples that contributed to the creation of the English language and therefore the work musr be a translation into recognizable terms in our world’s terms. Call that Tolkien Brainrot.
Definitely funnier if you make fantasy explanations though,
Champagne is a wizard who sells bubbly alcohol.
It’s called English because of the original Lish people, all languages start with En here.
French fries are not potatoes they’re roots of the french plant.
Goodbye is now short for ‘good be your eye’ wishing you luck seeing the path ahead.
Jesus Christ is a long dead lich who used to cause everyone problems and we haven’t stopped saying her name when things go wrong.
And that’s the Pratchett approach
Do you have any idea how much I fixate over what I have my NPCs say and second guess myself because of this exact sort of linguistic minefield?

How to Bring Someone Back from the Dead
- Make sure that it wasn’t their time to die. If it was, do not try to bring them back.
- If you’re sure they weren’t meant to die, start preparing for your journey. It will be a long one.
- You will need two coats, a quarter, a white rose, a blanket, a flashlight, extra batteries, lots of food and water, and an object of importance to the deceased (a necklace, a beloved book, etc).
- Wait until late spring. You’ll want it to be warm out when you return.
- Put on some good hiking boots. You’ll be walking for a while.
- Enter any forest. The denser the better. Walk until the sun goes down.
- Look to your left when it becomes too dark to see.
- You will see a white glow in the distance. Walk towards it.
- Be careful where you step. Some woods like to trip you.
- Remember your loved one’s name.
- Say aloud how much you missed them and why you want them back.
- The glow will disappear once you reach it. When it does, turn on your flashlight and sit down.
- Place the flashlight next to you and go to sleep. Do not be afraid. If you’ve made it this far, then the forest in on your side. It will not let you be harmed.
- When you awake, the sun will be up.
- Turn off your flashlight and put it back in your bag.
- You will be standing just outside of a fairy ring. Do not enter it.
- Take out your food and water. Eat some, but leave the rest at your feet.
- Step into the ring and place the quarter on the ground, tails up.
- Tell your loved one you are coming for them. They will not hear you.
- The quarter will sink into the ground. You may now enter the Underworld.
- Put on one of the coats. It will be very cold.
- Close your eyes and imagine that you are sinking into the ground. Do not open them until you smell smoke.
- When you open your eyes, you will be underground. A tunnel will stretch out before you.
- Replace the batteries in your flashlight. It will get dark very soon
- Follow the tunnel. You will feel cold. This is normal.
- You will soon come across a small house. Knock on the door.
- A dark-haired woman will open it. There is something wrong with her eyes. Do not stare.
- She will ask you for something pretty. Give her the rose
- She will smile at you and invite you in for something to eat. Enter the house, but politely refuse any food.
- Talk to her for a while. She likes the company.
- She’ll tell you a secret. Pretend that it doesn’t bother you.
- Eventually, she will give you an item. I do not know what it will be. It’s different for everyone.
- Thank her for being so kind. She wasn’t always like this.
- Say goodbye and exit the house. Continue down the tunnel
- You will be walking for a long time. If you need to sleep, do so. When you wake up, continue walking.
- You will find food in your bag. Do not eat any of it.
- You will get to a river guarded by the woman you met before. Do not ask her how she got here so fast.
- Say hello and show her the item she gave to you. She will take it and give you your flower back.
- You are now allowed to cross the river. Get in the boat. Don’t think about how it wasn’t there before.
- Let the boat take you to the other shore. The fog will make it hard to see. Trust me that it’s better that way
- When you get off the boat, the fog will be too dense to see clearly.
- You will start to come across wandering souls. They will not care that you are here. They are too miserable.
- The silence will be unbearable. Hum a song to yourself.
- You’ll be wandering around for a while. Don’t give up hope. You’ll find them soon.
- When you do, softly say hello.
- They will not remember you. Don’t take this personally. They don’t remember themselves either.
- Don’t touch them, not yet.
- Their eyes will seem far away. It’s alright. They are listening.
- Talk to them for a while. Don’t give your name and do not tell them theirs. They don’t trust you yet.
- They’ll soon realize you are alive. When they do, answer their questions about the world above.
- Ask them if they are cold. The answer will be yes.
- Offer them the coat you are wearing. It will already be warm. You have body heat, they do not.
- When they take it. Put on your other coat.
- At this point, they will ask if you know them. Say yes and tell them their name.
- They will like having an identity again. Try not to cry when they smile.
- Hand them their item of importance. It will help them trust you.
- Tell them your name and ask them if they want to leave.
- If they say yes, take their hand. They will feel like a corpse. Try not to let this faze you.
- Do not let go of their hand.
- Walk back to the river. You will find it. The Keepers don’t like the Living in the Underworld.
- The woman you met earlier will be there. Give her the rose again. She will give you back the item from her house.
- Get in the boat.
- When you reach the shore, exit the boat.
- Your loved one will have some trouble keeping up. They are exhausted. The dead cannot eat or sleep, no matter how much they want to.
- Keep walking. Try not to notice how hungry you are.
- Do not eat the food in your bag.
- While you walk, talk to your loved one. They don’t know it, but they’ve missed you.
- They will trip and fall at some point. They are very tired.
- They will start to cry. Don’t let this break your heart. Instead, tell them they will be able to rest soon.
- For now, pick them up and carry them in your arms. Don’t worry, they will be very light.
- Try not to notice that they aren’t breathing. It will only make you feel sick.
- Keep talking. They will be too tired to respond, but they are listening.
- When you see the woman’s house, tell your loved one that you’re almost there.
- Keep walking and don’t turn around.
- You’ll feel something watching you.
- Don’t turn around. Please.
- You’ll notice you’ve stopped talking. Start humming that song again. It will help stave off the fear.
- Stop walking and place your loved one on the ground. Pull out the blanket and wrap them in it. Pick them up again and keep going. You’re almost there.
- You’ll see a light up ahead. Feel the relief flooding through you and run towards it.
- When you step out of the fairy ring, immediately place your loved one on the ground.
- Encourage them to breathe. They will have forgotten how to.
- When they start to breathe again, retrieve the food that you left on the ground earlier.
- They’ll want to fall asleep. Make sure they eat and drink before they do so.
- They will be very cold. Do whatever you can to keep them warm.
- Thank whatever gods you believe in for letting you bring them back.
- Go to sleep. Nothing will harm you here.
- When you wake, do not disturb your loved one. They haven’t slept in so long. Wait until they wake up on their own.
- Take them home. They will not remember you at first, but they will regain their memories soon.
- Don’t tell them how they died. It’s best if they don’t know.
- Spend time with them. Most people don’t get a second chance.

You think? Let’s test that then!
First, you gotta get a cool cup. I got this one from a thrift store for a very affordable price. But if you can’t find one, a standard clear cup or jar should suffice
Now, you don’t need a decal, but I recommend it because they’re cool. I just got some sticker vinyl, traced and cut out the Wii logo and some stars
Now for the drink!!
Start by making or buying jelly. If you make it, you should do so a few hours before you intend to make the drinks, as it will need time to set. You can find jelly at most any grocery store.
Get your cup and add ice and jelly. You should cut the jelly into small pieces or use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. I recommend you don’t add quite all of the jelly, as you’ll need some for the top later
Next, add your flavoring syrup of choice, I recommend blue raspberry or melon. You should be able to find them at any restaurant supply store
Then, add carbonated water. Flavored sparkling waters also work fine, as they don’t taste like much. You should be able to find some at any store that sells drinks.
Next add Calpico, this is technically optional, but it tastes way better with it, so it’d highly recommend it. You can get it at practically any Asian market, or normal market if you live in Asia
Now, add some ice cream, or something of the sort, I use vanilla.
After that, you can top it with some whipped cream, jelly shapes, cherries, really anything!!
I would also recommend using a straw to drink it, because you will need to mix it up a bit. but you can’t really mix it before hand, because it will ruin the cool gradient affect
If anyone makes this, please rb with your results!! I wanna see!!
I'm absolutely in love with the way you formatted this. it's a little video gae side quest to collect ingredients for the Ultimate Wii Dink. that will put the status effect fixed on you dear player after you drink it.

Anonymous asked:
What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, that's terrifying on a whole new level.

sobbing into my plate after overhearing a conversation between a mom and her tiny daughter in this shopping centre food court
this one buffet type restaurant is away from the main food court, on the upper floor of the shopping centre - nearly no one goes there, so even in the wild rush of pre-christmas shopping, it's fairly quiet.
it's a mother with a daughter, kindergarten age. they sit at the table next to me, each with their own plate, having a quiet conversation. the daughter eats very quickly, stuffing her mouth, you know how kids sometimes do. the mother tells her, very softly:
"remember what we talked about? you and your tummy are a team and you have to be a team player! let's make sure you chew your food well so it has an easier job later, and has enough time to tell you once you're full"
the child nods, very serious and focused, because she has a very Important Mission now after all. she begins eating slower, chewing well, and additionally taking some time to Ponder the food on the fork before chomping a bit of the many different dishes she picked small portions of.
"what is your favourite thing from your plate?" the mom asks, and the child points to something on the plate. "why? what's the flavour?" the mom continues, and the daughter replies, taking the time to describe the flavour and the texture, even though she "doesn't know what it is at all but it's yummy" and the mother smiles and explains to her what that food is. I think it was mozzarella, in the form of those small balls that work well for salads and appetizers.
once the daughter's plate is empty, she looks at it a bit puzzled.
"are you still hungry?" asks the mom and as the child nods, she says "let's give it a moment so your tummy can catch up as well." - a moment passes - "still hungry?"
the child nods enthusiastically. "alright, let's walk over to the buffet and we'll pick something more"
"can you bring?" the child asks and the mom just says, smiling:
"no, because you should choose what looks like it will make you not hungry anymore. also, walking a bit will help your tummy understand how much more food you two need to feel full so you're no longer hungry but you're also not too full so that you feel uncomfortable or nauseous" and they went to get more food.
it might not sound impressive or interesting, but she was so kind and patient, and the child was clearly happy and curious and receptive to the information she was learning about her own body and how food works. none of "you have to eat the whole plate" under the threat of some punishment, none of "that's enough, you've had enough, you're not hungry anymore" none of "you'll eat what I picked out for you and that's it, no discussion." I don't know. I hope they had a nice rest of the day
