Bending reality as though it were but a blade of grass the enigmatic magical entity travels between dimensions making changes that range from odd to calamitous. Examples of changes have included, completely restructuring river systems, altering plate tectonics, teleporting mountains, delivering proficies, and handing out powerful magic items that often contain some bizarre catch and or an overly specific requirement. It is unclear why Diddit does what it does, a desire for mischief. Experimentation? Or perhaps Diddit for all its power is but an automaton bound by by prophecy without a will of its own Note: Diddit is a reference to the joke a wizard did it

made a follower for tes 6: Fatima the follower of Sheogorath

A gaunt filthy woman dressed in tattered rags decorated with trash she finds including bones feathers, bits of glass, empty skooma bottles and the carcasses of large insects. She is immediately identifiable as a skooma addict her, sickly yellow eyes are constantly bloodshot and dilated, and she constantly rocks and wavers back and forth when sitting or standing like she simultaneously can't sit still and barely keep herself upright. Fatima is a the leader of a cult of sheogorath residing in a dingy skooma den called the shimmering gate, the shimmering skooma is enhanced by shegorath’s power to deteriorate the mental state of those who use it for extended periods as well as allows both her and shegorath the ability to manipulate the person's thoughts and actions. When the player encounters her she claims she likes the look of them and offers to smoke with them, if the player accepts she lights up a pipe and takes a hit before passing it to the player, if the player refuses some of her subordinates grab you and she forcefully holds your nose and blows the smoke in your face. As the skooma takes effect she tries to hypnotize you but then stops as Sheogorath starts speaking out of her mouth and gives you the quest to obtain the wabajack after which she snaps out of her trance and she and the other cultists kneel to you as one blessed by their lord. After the quest, she is available to become a follower and will routinely beg you to shoot her with the wabajack. As you travel with her you encounter places and people from her past which she herself had forgotten, she was originally a mistress to an aristocrat who after a falling out used his connections to have her tossed in an asylum to keep her from revealing their affair, where she was subject to an experimental lobotomy which broke her mind and allowed Sheogorath in. In order to restore her sanity you must cure here skooma addiction before challenging sheogorath to let her go. In combat, she uses a dagger and throwing knives as well as illusion magic. She will wear armor but will complain about it, especially shoes.

It also helps that I’ve never heard of “Valerie Amaranth”

it was kind of cruel to pit an obscure visual novel character vs a household name

[sadclowncentral]

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

Collaborative writing ideas

Lately, I have been fascinated by the idea of larger collaborative worldbuilding projects like scp and Orion's arm. Something about the idea of a community coming together to create expansive lore is intriguing even if they do tend to become crap eventually(or instantly in the case of the backrooms). I could never actually run one myself as the idea of being a moderator makes me want to vomit but I do have some ideas.

Liminal colonization-  taking place in a never-ending  liminal maze of rooms much like the original backrooms but installed of being populated by random  dolts who have managed to stumble in there it  is high kardashev humans invading and making use of this bizarre dimension

Dyson preserve- a Dyson swarm consisting of innumerable space stations created by an unknown intelligence as a combination of wildlife preserve and art piece. In contrast to normal Dyson swarms which serve as living space for their creators the stations of this swarm work as habitats with each containing life forms wholly unique to it.  the artificial nature of the habitats and life allows for environments and creatures that would never be able to occur naturally, some examples Alternate life solvents such as liquid nitrogen, methane sulphuric acid molten salt Gravitys that fall on the extreme ends of the spectrum or perhaps even alternate over a time period Machine life Alternate bioenegetics

Cloacina’s domain- a gargantuan sprawling sewer system in the bottom of an ecumenopolis which may or may not be earth,  playing host to countless inhabitants including but not limited to vermin and their offshoots, abandoned gmo pets gon feral, self-replicating sewer repair robots that have mutated into a sort of ecosystem, and of course cannibalistic mutants. What is the surface world like is only hinted at as just about every sentient creature has been down there multiple generations.

Fantasy sci-fi- while fantasy settings are often shown stuck in the medieval period this setting would show what was at one point a generic fantasy setting but nearly a million years in the future, a bizarre combination of hard sci-fi and fantasy where the various races and factions have reached out and colonized the stars. Advanced tech and magic are something intertwined rather than existing in opposition to one another.

Cryptid sci-fi- a hard sci-fi space colonization setting in a timeline where a large number of cryptids are real. What impacts does this have?  As many of the intelligent cryptids are discovered they may be integrated into societies and or given modern tech Mermaids and sea monks building large underwater mega cities, dogmen and goatmen forming independent space colonies, bio ships made from the DNA of sea monsters. Things only get more bizarre when uplifting comes into play.

Non-existent anime- somewhat inspired by Tumblr’s Goncharov this would be a fandom wiki for a long-running anime/show that does not exist.

Institute for the study of paranormal ailments (ISPA)- a sort an SCP adjacent universe focusing on the eponymous ISPA- an organization created to research and treat supernatural illnesses and disorders.

The tower Arcana - a colossal sealed self-sustaining skyscraper arcology that seems to be the only feature on a dead uninhabited planet. The tower reaches all the way up to the upper atmosphere and goes down all the way through the entire core of the planet and out the other side where proceeds to again reach up to the upper atmosphere. where the tower or its inhabitance came from is a mystery that has descended into mythology for its techno barbarian inhabitance. What has been known from signs on some of the floors is its creators did give the tower a name: The 16th Arcana.

Park service division 411- in the early 2000’s the paranormal bullshit that goes on in US national parks kicked itself into overdrive and became undeniable leading to the creation of the 411 and a governmental organization dedicated to researching these entities as well as minimalizing the damage they might cause to campers and native ecologies.  While the presence of paranormal horrors might seem like it would harm camping and general tourism it is in many ways the opposite as it would attract countless people hoping to see and research these creatures, besides we don't wall off national parks because they have dangerous wildlife.

Also, in another moment of griping: I still cannot find any books on Medieval Russia.

All it is is Russian Revolution, the Romanovs, the Soviets and Putin.

I can find books about the Middle Ages in every part of the world surrounding Russia, but nothing on Russia itself.

[irishironclad]

This is likely because Russia didn’t exist as a state for much of the medieval period, it was Muscovy, Novgorod, and Kiev.

[irishironclad]

I also found these

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

I have both of these. Excellent books.

deer after almost 150 years of cars: maybe if I stand really quietly here in this exposed area, right in front of this thing that barrels directly towards me at unfathomable speeds it won't see me.

seagulls after 20 years of smartphones: the exact moment when the human glances at their rectangle is the best time to swoop in and snatch the shit from their other hand.
