*plays assassins creed to study for my ap history exam*

This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.

A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

Serial Killer: metaphorically, if you were to kill someone, how would you do it?

Writer: Air shot between the toes, it’ll look like a heart attack.

Serial Killer who is obviously in love already: *sucks in a breath* ok

Writer: how long would it take to die if you were to potentially stab someone in the guts

Serial killer: anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes

Writer, already bringing a ring out: *shaking* thanks

Writer: *shows the serial killer the murder scene they’re writing* babe, i’m not sure if this would actually work?

Serial killer: *kisses writer on the forehead and leaves, comes back later, a suspicious scent of blood coming off them* it works baby, you’re doing great

I LOVE THIS

Oh no, murder comedy is my jam

I love this, I love all of this, but quick question, does the author know? Like are they aware that their significant other is a serial killer or do they just think that they have a morbid sense of humor? It’d be even funnier if the author had no fucking clue, like how Aurthur Conan Doyle was apparently stupidly gullible, and on top of it they’re a horror or crime novelist. Like the serial killer works at a butcher shop or something so it’s completely normal for them to come home smelling like blood, no murders going on here, no sirey. Just my darling coming back home from a long day at work.

Now fast forward a bit and the author has managed to get their first book published, with loving support from the serial killer who helped them fine tune all the murder scenes, and it’s a big hit. Enough so that a detective with the local police department has noticed some disturbing similarities to several active cases, including details that were never released to the press. Obviously he brings this up to his superior and convinces him that there’s something to the theory, but it’s all circumstantial right now. He stakes out the author’s home and is super convinced that the author is the murderer, but they don’t seem to do anything??? Like they literally are at the house all day, that’s it. Most they do is leave for groceries.

So you get this dynamic of the serial killer mining the author for creative murder schemes, the author being lovingly encouraged by the serial killer, and finally the detective who is just so sure that the author is the killer and that if he sticks it out long enough he’ll FINALLY have proof.

Plot twist, The serial killer and detective use to go out so it gets sub what personal. 

“You need to stop seeing them. I think they are a serial killer.”

Serial killer breaths in. “Look-”

…perfect

I don’t like actual murder mysteries, but this is perfect

My favourite idea in modern fantasy is potion candy.

For example in Bayonetta, alchemical recipes are turned into lollipops. They’re tastier, easier to carry around than bottles, and modern crafting techniques means they’re more potent than traditional potions.

Oi, just think of what this entails.

An aesthetically inclined potions master’s or alchemist’s shop would look EXACTLY like a manic pixie dreamland candy store.

Little plastic baggies tied with pink ribbons full of bright and green yellow lozenges that regenerate your health, clearing up colds, the flu, and fevers in a minute.

Color-changing gummy bears that allow you to see in different wavelengths, negating invisibility spells, and opening up a whole new avenue for finding your way around town using the ‘invisible ink’ painted directions for tourists.

Candy bars of chocolate, studded with nuts and other magical ingredients that melt in your mouth, granting you the ability to speak in different tongues and mimic bird calls.

Tins of mints that freshen your breathe and allow you to breathe underwater, coming in packs like ‘grow some gills’, ‘partial shark bite transformation’, and ‘salt water seelie fins’.

Licorice that help you repel anything from tiny insects to terrifying creatures that skitter in the dark - as long as they’re sensitive to the smell of elderberries or whatever the heck the potioneer or alchemist decides to flavor it with.

Gum that, when chewed, spat out, and stuck to an object, forms an incredibly sticky substance which can harden and patch up the hole in your boots and other flavours that waterproof or fireproof or somehow enchant the thing you stick your gum too.

Incredibly expensive gift boxes of Ferrero Rocher-like chocolate balls that are doused with liquid luck. They’re very potent, individually wrapped, and only sold to select clientele.

Gobstoppers that temporarily grant you super strength and stamina with a incredible healing powder at the center so that if you accidentally tear a muscle while lifting something the wrong way, you just bite straight into it and BAM, you’re alright again.

Publishing for Fun and Profit

So there was a list going around tumblr for a while that made it to my dash of literary journals that accept open submissions (and will pay!), but upon inspection about half of them were closed indefinitely, and I found quite a few other places that looked interesting through further research, so I wanted to post my own list.

Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some

can we befriend and/or flirt with the giant spiders asking for a friend

It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!

HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH

it’s more of a DND park but it’s fantasy and characters give you quests and when you finish quests they give you a tarot card with the characters on it

The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit 

Guys I’ve been and it’s fucking unbelievable
