cemeteries aren’t creepy they’re actually devoted to memory and rest and love and humanity
what happened here
You are a devout Paladin trying to prevent the resurrection of a dark goddess. Ultimately you fail. When the goddess awakens, she claims that she doesn’t know who she is or what has happened. After a few days you’re struggling to determine if she actually has amnesia or if she is just lying.
It wasn’t what I had expected.
I had expected…. Oh… the usual things. Clouds of smoke, maniacal laughter, some monstrous being… they were always monstrous, whether fair or foul of face.
Not this. Not an egg.
It is already hatching, a jagged opening showing in the greyish, mottled shell. Even as I watch, small pale hands show, gripping the edge and breaking another piece of it away.
When I approach the egg and look down into it, I see a child. I would have guessed her at eight or nine, if I wasn’t seeing her hatching before my eyes. If I didn’t know she was Rek’na reborn.
When she sees me she lifts her little arms to me, like a toddler wanting to be picked up. “Help… pl’s…” she says pitifully, her voice wavering and uncertain. Are they her first words? They must be. Even though I know what she is, they pull at my heart. This is a child. I have never harmed a child, even one that might grow to be the darkest of goddesses. When she looks up at me, I know I can’t do it now.
I open the egg a little further, so the sharp edges won’t scrape her soft skin. When I lift her out with gauntleted hands, I try to be gentle. There were preparations made for her hatching, I can see… lengths of silk cloth to wrap her in, dishes of raw meat and bowls of what might be wine or blood. The priests and priestesses had their plans.
But they are dead or fled, and I wrap the child in my cloak and cradle her against one shoulder. She wraps her small arms around my neck trustingly, and I carry her out of the hidden temple to where I hid my horses. There I dress her in a spare shirt – four of her would fit inside it, for I am big and she is very small – and feed her her first meal. I don’t have fresh meat, and am not sure it would be wise to give it to her if I did, but I feed her bean porridge with salted meat, and a round of dry journey-bread, and she eats it eagerly.
I know I should destroy her. But she is a child.
A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.
"he can do no wrong" well actually i think he did a lot of wrong things, and that's specifically what attracted me to him in the first place
does anybody have that cat poem, you know the one. not mary oliver's poem. the one about a cat growing up with you like brothers but him still being small whereas you've grown tall. i need a good cry
Transcription of the poem for easier reading:
my cat is sad.
no one else in his family is a cat
we are all human except for him
he is excluded from most things
and no one tells him why
he just wants to play
and be loved
he looks at us with wonder
and disappointment
he says hello i am a cat what is my existence
what is that / why it and not me / please can you look at me and love me too
can i have some of your food please im sorry i dont like my food so much
do you want to play with my toys? this one is my favourite
do you like me
are we brothers
why didnt i grow up
why am i so small
can you help me be happy
where are you going
AITA for starting a successful business?
I found a great resource that I could use to make clothing products that everyone needs, so I did what comes naturally and started chopping down the trees and made lots of money. But this little orange guy doesn’t like me chopping down trees and becoming successful. He keeps trying to find ways to stop me because he “speaks for the trees” but that’s whackery because trees can’t consent! He’s preventing my innovation and my customers from purchasing. AITA? It’s him right. I’m just following my destiny. Capitalism wins baby! 😎 The American Dream to build factories, sell, sell, sell and expand until there’s nothing left to take from the land. I’m so rich and successful right now, ain’t no way that little orange guy should be stopping me. I mean, how bad can I possibly be?

“I’ll just rest my eyes” is the biggest lie you’re going straight to snorkmimimi land
“I’m going to sleep” is the biggest lie I’m going to stare at my ceiling for the next three hours
I know I went from being passively suicidal to horny in a few hours but wdym I seem unstable
what if im not medically depressed what if im just a massive lazy cunt and big loser
worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean
sorry i said something dickish. a few mildly frustrating things happened to me in succession and it turned me evil

Hey uh if you go to that blog
And click that link
The binary in the image from the blog post translates to the password you need here which gets you this
And that url takes you here
I don’t have any idea what the code on the t-shirt is supposed to be tho
Okay it’s a decimal code that translates to tumblr godknowsnone?
On that blog there’s like a captcha image and a long binary string. Stay tuned!!
Okay that binary translates to ascii code
Which then translates to this
So when we log in to that email account
There’s not much there except this vimeo link in the drafts folder
The video is just 19 seconds of a very windy kind of woodsy area with a pond and a shortened url displayed over it
so that link takes you to this youtube video
and if you scroll down theres only one comment
click on the user and they dont have any videos, but their about page has a link
the link takes you to this freetexthost page, but im not sure what this text is code for
“check it out then go way back”
if you go way back to the original blog @nn17gkn
“cbg juj uk fb? Ouppx obpx pbfxc 7xfpb uo jbq? bap” is the first post
using this cypher that post translates to:
You did it now Gimme some money venmo is docworm
ok but they posted something new.
if you use the same website from before, it converts to
“Thanks for playing how about round two this is a gays only event hettys need not apply“ (first of all fuckin amazing)
but then the link leads you to this picture
which honestly idk what to do with, someone continue this.
thanks for adding this!!!!! i started looking into it
so if you brighten that image super high theres a link on the left side
that link takes you to a freetexthost page with this vimeo link: https://vimeo.com/277172453
the way the camera focuses in this video is morse code and me and @bitchface—mcgee translated it to: tmdlrrecurring17
we have no idea what this means and we’re stuck, if someone knows what this could be pls add on !!!!!
It’s still going y'all!!!!
I might be wrong but I think y'all might’ve mistranslated the Morse code. It might say tumblr recurring17
WE GOT FUCKING PLAYED AGAIN DKCNFSLXKFNRMDCKFNDMXKCNXNFJSLSSJ
The Old God that runs the internet
Cannot believe this journey is back on my dash
the great con
i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?
context (via @mellorocket)
doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay
Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:
And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:
And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗
(Comment compilation from this Twitter)
I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.
"So, boss... I may have messed up."
"What did you do, Ray?"
"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"
"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."
"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."
"Oh."
"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."
"Get the others."
this is the energy that jim henson would be proud of.
and important addition
OBSESSED with the fact that supernatural is trending because a character came out as bi ON A DIFFERENT SHOW! hilarious. Supernatural you will always be famous
