you're a mind inhabiting the mind of the brain

you're a ghost possessing a living body

and you roam the halls and corridors of the brain

and you have stewardship of this place that you live in

you gotta clean and do maintenance because you live there

that's your home and you gotta take good care of it all your life

be nice to it and make it a good place to spend the rest of your life

[dancingglassgolem]

i think it's very brave and sexy of me

how hard i fight against the nightmare brain fog

and i will overcome it and be okay again

because i'm cool and sexy like that

not to mention totally awesome

concept: a reverse dating sim

where you play out different scenarios where you are trying to

get a divorce from the partner in the scenario you are playing

and you can get different endings depending on what you do

and you can always fail to get the divorce and that's the bad ending

make it so that in some scenarios an amicable divorce is possible

while in other scenarios you have to be an asshole to get out

because resolving things peacefully and nicely isn't always an option

maybe have something similar to a sanity meter where

if it drops below a certain point you give up on divorce

and you just stay in the relationship because it's easier

you have to make a tactical decision wheter to try to be nice

and risk your resolve melting away as you give up on divorce

or be a little bit mean or drag up the past to steel your resolve

and being too mean COULD get you one of the bad endings though

so you gotta balance out being a good person with

looking after yourself and getting your good ending

psychological horror where the horror is wrestling with morality

to balance your own needs with your own conduct towards others

maybe make it so you can explore around in the apartment/house

and look for signs of the partner being a bad person or a bad spouse

look for reasons to go through with the divorce and stay the course

refilling your ' sanity ' meter by finding evidence and remembering stuff

or figuring out stuff you can say to make it easier to make it happen

in bad relationships it's very easy to forget and gloss over the bad stuff

so physically exploring and looking for evidence and remembering stuff

could be a good way to engage with that kind of interactive story

story wise the character not remembering all the things they could say

makes perfect sense and is a good way to add immersion to the game

concept: villain with genre awareness switches sides

ADHD villain recognizes the patterns with their ADHD brain and realises that they recognize it as the genre where the hero wins and since they don't want to lose......they begrudgingly switches sides to be allied with the hero in order to come out on top because that is what will give the most favourable outcome.......even if it means that they have to sponsor the hero and aid the hero and be a helpful ally and put a pause on villanous activities in order to not be noticed and targetted by the narrative as a villain. the villain doesn't care what side they are on as along as they are on the winning side, and they can feel that the winds have shifted to favour the hero come to defeat all the villains.

the villain fully intends to take advantage of things to talk the hero into letting them take over the enterprises and resources of the defeated villains so that it doesn't create a power vacuum giving rise to yet another villain while also preventing the enterprises and resources of the defeated villains from ' falling into the wrong hands ' and the villain succeeds in convincing the hero of this and comes out on top

the villain is not in villainy for the love of the game and is easily able to switch sides because they care more about winning than on what side they are on in any given conflict as long as they come out on top

more characters with superpowers who look into the whole superhero thing and decide "hm no i do not want to participate in this actually"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

to be clear i'm not saying they turn to supervillainy. they just look at their superpower-based career options and decide to go in an unrelated direction. dental hygienist. supply chain management. HVAC technician in surprisingly high demand

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

some of them do superpower hobbies on the weekend, but a good portion of them are just "eh. my body could technically do it but this is not fun for me?" like it's literally just excercise. why spend your free time training for a marathon when you could be crafting

a lucky few have highly marketable powers which make for extremely well-paid gig work (standard teleporter hourly pay is insane), but it's not exactly a passion driven career. yeah speedsters can make bank working production lines but that gets repetitive real fast. also that shit is tiring. yeah the agricultural industry is paying you big bucks to control the weather during harvest season but you're going to have back spasms for months after.

[whotooklortan]

One time at my manufacturing job I got asked about what superpowers I would want and I concluded that the most passion driven power/job I could imagine was just knowing the precise location of all sharks. I would be unable to control them or communicate with them. But I am invaluable to conservation work, ocean photography, zoology, lifeguards, etc. I have no idea if I could or would want to profit from this, I would probably still have a 9-5, but I like to think of spending my spare time just answering texts about Greenland sharks and doing horrifying guest appearances on weather broadcasts.

[dancingglassgolem]

i would want to have frost/ice powers and i would just

use my powers to make tasty frozen treats at my frozen treat stand

with like a blender and a bunch of fruits and milk and sugar and stuff

( or pre blended fruits in containers or whatever but still have fruits for display purposes so people can look at what's there and pick stuff out)

people could pick any combination of fruits and then get a frozen treat

and potentially if my control over my powers is good enough to allow it

i could create sorbet with low to no sugar in the process at all

since i'd use my ice powers to prevent ice crystal formations

which is literally what sugar does and why sorbet it possible to do

if my powers allows me to control the rate of ice crystal formations

or affect how much ice crystal formations happen and how big they are

then that opens up a lot of possibilities when it comes to frozen treats

people could get icecreams, sorbets, popsicles, and shaved ice

with any combination of fruits and other ingredients

and it would be a very customizable and unique experience

oh and on days where i run my frozen treat stand at night

i could offer alcoholic frozen treats to the adults roaming the streets

and i just think that that would be a lot of fun to do actually

[dancingglassgolem]

there are two versions of me

one is my true self and all that i wish to be and am

and the second is what i have the energy to be and express

i can for a time be my truest most authentic self and be happy

but it isn't sustainable and i don't have the energy or stability for it

for the sake of my own well being and sanity and mental recovery

i have to compromise my self and what version of myself that i am

a reflection distorted by the pain and chaos inside a wounded mind

a compromise for the sake of my own wellbeing and mental health

there are so many barriers between me and my truest self

the lack of energy, mental stability, and the traumas that i have

out of respect and consideration for my own pain and limitations

i can not act upon my truest most authentic self as i would like

[the-cuix]

So, what do you say? Why not help one another on this lonely journey?

[dancingglassgolem]

faced with the seemingly infinite of the cosmos and space

i do not feel fear or despair but excitement and wonder

for all i see is nothing but potential and a lot of room to grow

there is so much space to do things and so much room to grow

see yourself not as you are now compared to the vast cosmos

but imagine what you can be and become in such a boundless world

there is so much freedom and potential in such a boundless world

you need not be as small as you make yourself feel as you gaze up

[dancingglassgolem]

referring to myself using a they/them pronoun in a conversation

and smiling and blushing and being all ' ooooh, forbidden pronoun '

i really hope this joke hasn't been made before with them

a vague sort of follow-up to my recent noelle drawing. i wanted to give kris a cute outfit too

[dancingglassgolem]

if i had the power to move earth and stone around at will

i would seek out every single famous dangerous cave

and turn them into safe boring caves or even close them up

and laugh loudly as the would be cave explorers

all sadly and depressed go back home to their loving families

instead of dying in the stupidest of way in a narrow cave

i would revel in the villainy of having ruined their dangerous hobby

by making all of the dangerous caves safe and boring to explore

[dancingglassgolem]

it is so weird and so WILD that you can literally just

alter your own mental state by fiddling around in there

like just go into the settings and move the sliders around

and suddenly your experience of reality is completely different

you can INTENTIONALLY ALTER YOUR OWN STATE OF MIND

DO YOU REALIZE HOW INCREDIBLY WEIRD THAT IS !?!??!?!!?

you can pop into to the brain like you're opening a door into an office

and yell at the workers that ' we're doing big emotion mode right now '

and your brain just.... accepts that !?!?! and suddenly you're crying

hunts the meat of whatever is the lady's favourite meat to eat
