Hello human beans! I'm Micky. Pronouns are They/Them. I put up my own writing AU's and prompts roughly once a month. I will post more DnD content as it comes up. In between I will post things that I enjoy from food to cute animals to other artwork and stories. Libra, Non-Binary, and Ravenclaw.

Writing Prompt

It was pure luck finding an apartment in this big city that didn’t have an absurd rent amount that was just two blocks from the university. So why did the bookshop it was above just transport you halfway across the universe and why do you suddenly have nineteen other room mates?

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

Writing Prompt

You are quite sure you went to bed in your room. The cat on your chest like normal. So when waking in the morning, you did not quite expect a sword to the throat. At the other end of the sword is a very grumpy looking adventurer, gear and all. 

“Well? What do you have to say for yourself?” Their eyes daring you to make their day with movement. 

Not sure what to say, you start with “Well um... where am I?”

Updated Roguish Archetype: The Masquerader

You are a cunning social manipulator. Your focus is on people, your outward appearance, and the art of misdirection.  Trick your opponent into believing you to be their ally, then stab them in the back both literally and metaphorically with this devilish Rogue archetype!  Changelog:  - Features updated to reference a single Masquerader save DC - Deceptive Fighting reduced from 1 minute to single round, and limited to 30 feet. Upsides: now also prevents reactions, and attacking no longer ends the effect. - Gentle Twist changed from auto-crit to max damage, which is so much better - All other features rewritten to be simpler and less magical. They hav not changed drastically

Places you should add to your little town/city in your fantasy world!!

  • Post offices. Wild, I know. But give me the unhinged kind. Pingeons and little postal dragons all over the place. You enter. The most disgusting smell fucking assaults your nostrils. You know what it is. Letter in hand, you go up to the counter. The postal worker is just a slightly bigger pigeon. You shed a tear.
  • PLAYGROUNDS!! Create the most dangerous kinds of playgrounds, the ones suburban moms would TRIP if they ever saw one. Monkey bars that are way too tall, swings that go full circle... The metal slide stays the same, it's already painful enough.
  • PARKS!! MAKE IT ALIVE!! Show people going on walks, reading beneath trees. C'mon most of them are already hundred years old (And are going to die after that CR 15 creature wrecks the town) anyways!! Show couples and picnics, show a family enjoying the sunday, give me someone picking flowers for their loved ones.
  • A bakery! Do you know how much these places are underrated? And do you know how much plot potential they have? Every good story starts with food poisoning or granny's recipe! Give me a place your players/readers are going to treat like home and, for once, it's not a tavern or a guild.
  • Government buildings! Give me a town hall that has a kilometric line in front of it. Give me a registry that is as old as this town. Give me police stations! Give me courtrooms! Make one of your players get arrested and now all of the party has to go through burocracy like a bunch of normal people!
  • (Who am I kidding? You don't need to make them get arrested. They are going to do that for you.)
  • Touristic attractions! Give me a full-on statue of the country's leader! Give me museums! Give me streets, ruins and whatnot that attract thousands of tourists everyday! Give me an annoying city guide that tries to get the party's attention everytime!
  • Magazine stands! Magazines don't exist? Newspaper stands! From the Queen's Journal to the most questionable new piece of Fox's Tailtracker, you have it all! Make your players doubt what's actually happening, sprinkle a little fake news... Or is it fake at all?
  • ...Toy stores. OK HEAR ME OUT. Make magic toys; miniature skyships that actually fly, metal toy dragons that expel fire, little wands that make little light spells, wooden creatures that can move and make noises... Make children happy! And your players too because they will waste their money on these stuff.
  • Instrument store!! Make your bards happy with special instruments or just weird ones! Give me a battle in one of those that is just filled with funny noises and the worst battle soundtrack ever!!
  • Not exactly a place but... Cleaning carts!!! Show me people cleaning the streets, picking up the trash, cutting trees!! Make the town look clean!! Give me an old man that is really proud of his work!!!

(or ways to make your players feel even worse when the villain destroys the town later on :) )

golf sucks but mini golf is fucking awesome....truly one of life's great paradoxes

golf:

  • wastes crazy amounts of space and water
  • soul-crushingly boring
  • extremely frustrating to all but the highest level of players (most golfers will never even shoot par)
  • prohibitively expensive (golf clubs are very costly and one round of golf can cost $100+)

mini golf:

  • 18 holes will fit into an area the size of a small park; most courses use astroturf, which doesn't even require water
  • a fun game of skill to challenge your friends to
  • easy to get into, but difficult to master
  • cheap (you and your friends can probably play for like, $20)
  • BONUS: cool obstacles and gimmicks (windmills, water features, secret holes, etc.)

Golf: completely fucking silent practically on pain of death

Mini golf: dunking on ppl while theyre taking a shot is pretty much required

golf: never glows in the dark

mini golf: can glow in the dark

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter

tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on

truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

Seven years after, I see you again 😚

Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.

This is very very good advice, and absolutely worth following. Read this. Read it again. Follow it. Your writing will get much, much better.

One of those “fantasy creatures go up against modern military infrastructure” things, except when the dragon sees the nuclear-armed fighter jets coming after it it’s like “shit, I guess I better stop fucking around” and immediately accelerates to mach 7.

The idea that a dragon was lazily going around and just casually breathing out small huffs of fire because it could is both terrifying and hilarious to me.

The dragon’s regular stat block is for when it’s sleepy.

Some random citizen: Dragons aren't that bad. They just puff fire and fly a little.

Their friend who was there when the Dragon blinked out at lightspeed breathing white hot flames: Dude, you've never been more wrong in your life.

AU WRITING PROMPT

College is just around the corner. Person A just moved in with Person B and C. They think nothing of it until one day they run into their roommate's room because of a storm. Scared they dive under the covers without checking. Both C and B are sideways tangoing.
