So we had the the Season 2 finale of our long-running Shadowrun ttrpg campaign just now.
We finally got to fight the big bad we’ve been chasing/dodging for two irl years, and… things were looking dire. The villain had our mage pinned to the floor and was actively attempting to disembowel him; our techie threw herself at the boss to try and save the guy — but got poisoned for her trouble, hit with an effect that had her hallucinating & unable to tell friend from foe, and our gunner couldn’t shoot the villain without potentially hitting (and killing) an ally.
….So it came to my character: a doctor who’s pretty much useless in combat. I’d already flubbed two separate rolls to shoot the villain in the face, and there’s not a single attack on my whole entire spell list…so instead I took out a spray bottle & spritzed the final boss as though she were a misbehaving pet?
…….which woke up our techie, which gave the mage enough leeway to free himself, which gave our gunner a window to fire his tank, which killed the villain and ended the fight.
I swear Im only halfway sure how I got here as a person, but APPARENTLY this is how we deal with murderous wannabe blood-gods now
I know next to nothing about the Addam’s Family’s greater canon, but the fact that Lurch is visually so strongly based on Frankenstein’s Creature makes me so happy, because it’s the happy ending the Creature deserves and I can so imagine it? You have the Creature at the end of the novel who is lonely and who has resigned himself that he will never be loved and that all humans will reject him on sight and then he meets the Addam’s Family and they are the first ones who don’t attack him or run away screaming - they either don’t say anything or even more likely, they are high-key excited about a Creature put together from corpses. That’s probably the highest Addam’s aspiration, to be more than 1 corpse. So they take him in and he has a family for the first time. What a crossover. What over-thinking on my part. I love it.
I’m going to add to this that because of the Creature’s line “I ought to be thy Adam”, many people irl nickname the Creature ‘Adam’ (being the first of his species) so if he were adopted by the Addam’s Family his name would officially be ‘Adam Addams” and I can only approve of that.
He’s not Frankenstein monster anymore, he’s the Adams monster. He’s theirs
it’s Adam’s Family :)

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”
no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry
Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…

Write the problematic thing. Make people uncomfortable. Create art!
The tags are actually mine, and I need you all to know when I said "girl," I actually meant "young woman of 23 years old," and the brainrot was so deep she tried to get us all to sit down as a class and vote as to whether or not we thought the designated reading with its dark themes were appropriate reading for a classroom.
For a Gothic Horror Literature class at university level.
There was not a single person in that room under the age of 20. We were all adults, mere months away from graduating with our bachelor degrees, and this person felt comfortable trying to police us and the class contents like we were five.
Needless to say, we did not participate in a vote. Nor did the professor call her stupid to her face, no matter how much she might have wanted to. Instead, she invited anyone who felt uncomfortable to drop the class. Bafflingly, the student who complained didn't leave, but she made damn sure to let us know during every class discussion that she didn't agree with the morality of the texts.
And this wasn't recent. This was over 15 years ago, long before TikTok, so this was home-brewed idiocy likely strained through the puritanical discourse of some LiveJournal flamewar.
Basically, what I'm getting at is 'what's old is new again.'
The only difference is now everyone's got access to the Internet via the smartphone in their pocket, and they're making their ignorance everyone else's problem on a much larger scale.

Hot tip for removing these easily: turn them inside out and then pull firmly on the flap, they’ll come apart with very little effort

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.
An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.
Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.
It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…
It’s an ant again.
Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.
This is madness.
Thank you for this good PSA because I’m still seeing sincere, published, professional writers doing “ahhhhh oh no this monster was SO UGLY i’m mentally ill now!”
Honestly though. This is exactly the reason why humans are cautioned not to dine on faerie food — not because it’s some petty transactional trick or silly contract to entrap you, but because food from Faerie is by nature so incredibly sublime that no mortal-made meal can compare.
Just like the ant’s crisis at the circuitboard — it’s one thing to live on stale bread and hotdog water when that’s all you’ve ever known, but how do you go back after tasting the delights of a banquet? How do you make yourself content with crumbs once you’ve seen all the marvelous dishes you’re missing? How do you force yourself to face a future of food that fails to be even a pale facsimile of This?
To taste faerie food is to sample the Unimaginable — to glimpse an impossibly alien Way Of Being that is as terrific as it is terrible, as awful as it is awe-inspiring. Not one thing ‘despite’ the other — no, here Beauty and Horror are inexorably bound by because.
Once you’ve seen it, you can’t forget. Once you’ve touched it, you can’t let go. Once you’ve known it, nothing else in this tiny world matters.
And once again, we are left with that thing called madness.
why you should build a treehouse in minecraft
they’re cool
they keep the monsters out
you can build them on jungle trees out of pretty jungle wood
they look fucking epic

This seems like some pro-elf life bullshit
Allow me, your local dwarf advocate, a moment of your time to consider Caves
Dig'n'done
Lots of stone
Cold, damp, and cool lookin
Torches REALLY pop deep down

It’s called Minecraft not Treecraft
Thanks for attending my TED talk (Totally Epic Dwarf)
Ok, BUT cliff houses are where it’s at.
Scenic view
Also out of reach of mobs
Can create a waterfall to go to and from
Can glide from the top to feel like a badass
Allows for surveying surroundings to find waypoints and check for safety
Acts as a beacon without using a beacon
Perfect view of clouds
Just don’t fall.
You’re all forgetting the true ultimate in minecraft architecture, the humble Dirt House, whose benefits include
•Dirt
•Grass sometimes
•Use dirt to block up the door and keep shit out
And here we have in order:
Elf
Dwarf
Human
Halfling
you’re all making me want to play Minecraft again
