during one of the excavations of an unknown female pharaoh's tomb in Egypt, you find out that Anubis himself guards the tomb and one of the lead archeologists greets him as if they were old friends.

everyone loses their goddamn shit

As a member of an archeological team, your area of expertise isn’t in language, architecture, or anything like that. It’s in convincing the various guardian spirits and protector deities your team awakens not to unleash their wrath in the name of people who have been dead for thousands of years.

CALLIBURN IS PENTAGLION⁉️⁉️

So, Star Wars exists in the mcu

Do you think Marc or Steven ever watched the sequal trilogy and was like "Did I unknowingly Star in a movie?"

Sonic's Dilemma

I liked the scene after the credits of the second Sonic movie, where the Shadow capsule appears. Someone thinks that it was decided too early to add him to the cinematic Sonic universe. Well, I think it's just great! I hope that the third film about the blue hedgehog will be very spectacular and spectacular. And since Sonic's real blood parents were not shown in two films, I assumed that our blue hero could have been created artificially (however, this is also based on theories that Sonic was created on the ARK colony, which is also interesting to me), that is, practically being a brother to Shadow the hedgehog! Only my assumptions are written here, what the scene with Sonic and Shadow, who are blood brothers here, might look like. I hope you enjoy reading the fanfiction. And I also hope that there will be something similar in the film itself.

The ARK colony was pretty quiet until one of its corridors was visited by a guest. The blue hedgehog strode down the long dark corridor. His footsteps echoed faintly all along the corridor. "It's so quiet and empty here... I hope I'm going in the right direction," he mused to himself as he continued walking. A large metal door appeared in front of him, which immediately opened, letting the hedgehog go ahead. He went inside, and the door closed behind him. He found himself in a huge empty hall. There was nothing here except the floor, ceiling, walls and porthole. "So, don't panic, Sonic. You just took a wrong turn. Maybe we can still turn back?" he thought, until his thoughts were distracted by the sound of metal doors and someone's footsteps. Sonic got into a fighting stance when he noticed Shadow approaching him.

— Oh. You again? And why am I not surprised? — a black hedgehog with red stripes asked a question.

— I'm here to stop you and Robotnik! And you won't stop me! Sonic exclaimed.

"You underestimate me for nothing, faker. It's a shame," Shadow said, and there was a threat in his tone that made my skin crawl.

— Actually, this is not an underestimation at all, impostor! I know a lot about you and I can imagine what you are capable of as an opponent!

"Don't talk like you know everything about me!" — the red-eyed hedgehog shouted in anger to the green-eyed one, so that red lightning appeared on the skin. But then he took a deep breath, calmed down and continued the conversation:

— You assure me that you know about me. But are you so sure about this?

- Yes. You were created on the ARK colony 50 years ago, then soldiers came who killed many scientists here, and took the experiments for themselves and hid them in their top-secret base, including you in a capsule.

— This is only part of my whole story that you have learned, blue hedgehog. Let me tell it if you're so interested in it," said the black hedgehog, while slowly pacing around the blue one. The latter, watching his opponent, continued to stand in his stance so as not to be caught off guard. — Yes, my story begins from the moment I was created. And it happened even a little more than 50 years ago. My creator's name was Gerald Robotnik. He was a great scientist who sought to help people. But at the same time, he created various creatures that could help him in the interests of science. And I was among them. Maybe the creator had noble goals, but I would mildly call all these experiments not a very pleasant process. However, in addition to scientists and test subjects, I met my ray of hope in this cursed darkness. Her name was Maria. She was Gerald's granddaughter. Maria seemed to be the only one who really cared and cared about me more than these scientists. She was my only friend on the colony. — Shadow talked and went to the porthole, placing his right palm on it. — But she was taken from me. It happened 50 years ago when those damn soldiers invaded here! Then I took my friend in my arms to save her from the impending danger. However, I did not manage to do it. She pushed me into the capsule with a smile on her face and was about to press the lever so that only I would escape from the colony. And then one of those nasty soldiers ran into the room and shot Maria when she still managed to pull the lever. The moment I saw her bloody body, her sweet and kind face, her parting smile and tears, I swore to avenge her. I swore to destroy all this humanity! — A black-and-red hedgehog shouted, sparking with lightning, and struck the sturdy glass with his fist.

"I understand your pain, Shadow," Sonic suddenly said, and Shadow looked at him, ceasing to sparkle.

— Do you understand? No one can understand me.

— But I really know what it's like to lose someone you cared about... When I was very young, I was taken care of by an owl named Long Claw. She was like a mother to me. But then I accidentally brought a tribe of Echidnas to our house. Long Claw saved me, but she herself fell at their hands. I was alone for a long time, and then I met Tom, Maddy, then Tails and Knuckles. They became my new family.

— How can they be your family? They're not even related to you! You don't have blood in common with them! And you still call them family? Especially that echidna whose brothers killed your foster mother?

— Family does not necessarily have to be by blood. The main thing is for family members to love each other and be ready to stand up for each other, — Sonic tried to explain. Shadow just looked at him incredulously. — Besides, Knuckles is not to blame for this. And he and I let go of the difficult past so that we could live in the present. And I advise you to do the same. You can still fix this, Shadow. Come with me, and I promise you won't regret it," Blue continued, and then held out his hand.

But the black man only grunted, and then turned to his brother:

— You know, I also wanted to offer you something...

— And what is it? Sonic asked him.

— You see, I've been wanting to meet you for a very long time. That first meeting of ours was by no means an accident. I've been looking for you since I was released from the capsule.

— Did you want to meet? Looking for me? For what? Did you want to kill me? — the blue hedgehog did not understand.

— Oh, no. No. Your murder is not in my plans. For now. The fact is that you and I are of the same blood, or, to put it more simply, we are brothers.

— What's that?! — Sonic shouted in shock.

— Yes, you and I are kind of brothers, family.

— But how? I was born on Mobius!

"They just erased your memories of the colony and sent you to another planet. Doesn't that explain why you don't remember your parents at all? Your real, blood ones?

— But if you and I are brothers, then we shouldn't fight among ourselves. I can help you. I'll help you deal with your grief, even though it won't be easy...

"I don't need any help with this, little hedgehog. I rather wanted to invite you to team up with me...

— Team up? For what?

— To destroy these hateful and pitiful people! Shadow growled, clenching his left fist, and his eyes turned bright red at the same moment.

— But you work with one person yourself... Then why are you working for Robotnik if you hate people so much? Shadow laughed ominously at his question, while Sonic looked at him in disbelief.

— Ha, ha, ha, ha! Really... Did you really think that I, a Ultimate Life Form, was working for this arrogant, narcissistic and arrogant little man? He works for me without knowing it! — ULF replied, and then continued, almost hissing. — These scientists cannot be trusted. They did nothing but perform various tests on me, as if they were playing with a defenseless animal. I hated them all. If it wasn't for Maria, I would have destroyed them all.

— But why do you want me to join you? After all, you know yourself that I am against killing a lot of people.

— When I met you, I noticed a lot of potential in you. You are very fast, agile, strong, and wield the very power of chaos. Together, we would have become invincible. Besides, aren't the soldiers after you? I'm sure they'll stop at nothing to catch you and kill you, as well as your strange family... Wouldn't you like to take revenge on them? So that they never touch you again, threaten you? Join me, and we will destroy them and others who deprived us of people close to us, make them pay for it," and with these words, Shadow extended his hand, as Sonic had done earlier. The blue hedgehog himself was thinking.

It really sounded good in its own way. If he agrees to the offer, he will no longer have to deal with the GUN soldiers, and then he will live peacefully with his family and his brother. Sonic has been wanting to know about his family for a long time. A real, blood family. Find out your origin. To feel like one's own. His thoughts were suddenly distracted by Shadow:

— Agree, brother, and we will become one family. Didn't we both want to have a family?

Brother. A blood brother. It's so good to have someone like you. However, does Shadow understand the meaning of the word "family", besides the fact that she is of the same blood? Will Sonic be happy with someone who is focused on revenge? Besides, the black hedgehog, if he hates people so much, he can kill Tom and Maddie. Those who sheltered and accepted the blue hedgehog into their family. And Tails and Knuckles? Although they are not of the same blood, they also love him as if they were brothers. Sonic, thinking about all the options, finally decided... At first he reached out to offer his hand, but then pulled it back. His kinsman looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I can't,— Sonic replied.

— Why is that? — Shadow asked him calmly.

"If you're using Robotnik for your own purposes, why don't you suddenly want to use me?"

"Well, the doctor is just a pawn in my game, but you play a much bigger role than some kind of pawn. You're almost the same as me. Created by scientists, abandoned, left without an expensive creature.

— But we also have differences! I have those I can fight for, while you are alone, resentful of the whole world! — Sonic added, and from such words Shadow bared his teeth and growled. — Shadow, please, it's not too late to get off the warpath and take revenge. You can still find your happiness. After all, if you keep hatred, anger, anger and resentment in yourself, you will never get out into the world.

— I like this way! And I will not give up! You'd better answer me: "Are you with me or not?"

— No! You may be my blood brother, but my real family is the members of the Wackowski family! And if you dare to touch any of them, you WILL... TO HAVE... A CASE... WITH ME!!! — Sonic shouted. His eyes turned from green to blue, and he began to sparkle with blue lightning.

— Have it your way. You chose your own death, — Shadow hissed, also covered in lightning. With his eyes turning from scarlet to bright red, he glared at his brother.

And then two hedgehogs rushed at each other, and a battle began between them...

Дилемма Соника

Мне понравилась сцена после титров второго фильма про Соника, где появляется капсула с Шэдоу. Кто-то считает, что его слишком рано решили добавить во вселенную киношного Соника. Ну, а я считаю, что это просто классно! Я надеюсь, что третий фильм про синего ежа выйдет очень зрелищным и эффектным. И поскольку у Соника за два фильма не были показаны его настоящие кровные родители, то я предположила, что наш синий герой мог быть создан искусственно (впрочем это также основано на теориях, что Соника создали на колонии АРК, что мне также интересно), то есть практически являясь братом для ежа Шэдоу! Здесь написаны лишь мои предположения, как может выглядеть сцена с Соником и Шэдоу, которые тут являются кровными братьями. Надеюсь, что вам понравится читать фанфик. А также надеюсь, что что-то похожее будет и в самом фильме.

В колонии АРК было довольно тихо, пока в один из её коридоров не зашёл один гость. Синий ёж зашагал по длинному тёмному коридору. Его шаги еле слышно отражали эхо по всему коридору.

«Здесь так тихо и пусто… Надеюсь, что я иду в верном направлении», — размышлял он про себя, продолжая шагать. Вот перед ним показалась большая металлическая дверь, которая тут же открылась, пропуская ежа вперёд. Тот вошёл вовнутрь, и дверь за ним закрылась. Он оказался в огромном пустом зале.

Здесь, кроме пола, потолка, стен и иллюминатора, ничего было. «Так, не паникуй, Соник. Ты просто свернул не туда. Может, ещё можно повернуть назад?», — подумал он, пока его мысли не отвлекли звук металлических дверей и чьи-то шаги. Соник встал в боевую стойку, заметив приближающегося к нему Шэдоу.

— Оу. Снова ты? И почему я не удивлён? — задал вопрос чёрный с красными полосами ёж.

— Я здесь, чтобы остановить тебя и Роботника! И ты меня не остановишь! — воскликнул Соник.

— Ты зря недооцениваешь меня, самозванец. Очень зря, — произнёс Шэдоу, в его тоне послышалась угроза, от которой шёл мороз по коже.

— Вообще-то, это вовсе не недооценка, самозванец! Я многое о тебе знаю и представляю, на что ты способен, как противник!

— Не говори так, будто ты всё обо мне знаешь! — прокричал в гневе красноглазый ёж зеленоглазому, что аж на шкуре показались красные молнии.

Но затем он, глубоко вздохнув, успокоился и продолжил разговор:

— Ты уверяешь меня, что знаешь обо мне. Но уверен ли так в этом?

— Да. Тебя создали на колонии АРК 50 лет назад, затем пришли солдаты, которые убили здесь многих учёных, а эксперименты забрали себе и спрятали в своей сверхсекретной базе, в том числе и тебя в капсуле.

— Это лишь часть всей моей истории, которую ты узнал, синий ежонок. Позволь мне рассказать её, если так она тебя заинтересовала, — сказал чёрный ёж, при этом медленно расхаживая вокруг синего. Тот, наблюдая за своим противником, продолжал стоять в своей стойке, чтобы не быть застигнутым врасплох. — Да, моя история начинается с того момента, как меня создали. И произошло это даже чуть более 50 лет назад. Моего создателя звали Джеральд Роботник. Он был великим учёным, который стремился помогать людям. Но при этом он создавал различных существ, которые могли помочь ему в интересах науки. И среди них был я. Может, цели и были благородные у создателя, но все эти эксперименты я бы мягко назвал не очень приятным процессом. Однако помимо учёных и подопытных я встретил свой лучик надежды в этой проклятой тьме. Её звали Мария. Она была внучкой Джеральда. Мария похоже была единственной, кто действительно беспокоился и заботился обо мне, чем эти учёные. Она была моим единственным другом на колонии. — рассказывал Шэдоу и подошел к иллюминатору, положив на него правую ладонь. — Но её забрали у меня. Это произошло 50 лет назад, когда эти проклятые солдаты вторглись сюда! Тогда я взял свою подругу на руки, чтобы спасти её от надвигающейся опасности. Однако мне не удалось это сделать. Она толкнула меня в капсулу с улыбкой на лице и собралась нажать на рычаг, дабы только я сбежал с колонии. А потом в комнату вбежал один из этих гадких солдат и пристрелил Марию, когда она всё же успела нажать на рычаг. В тот момент, когда я увидел её окровавленное тело, её милое и доброе лицо, её прощальные улыбку и слёзы, я поклялся отомстить за неё. Поклялся уничтожить всё это человечество! — прокричал чёрный с красным ёж, искрясь молниями, и ударил кулаком по прочному стеклу.

— Я понимаю твою боль, Шэдоу, — внезапно произнёс Соник, и Шэдоу посмотрел на него, перестав искриться.

— Понимаешь? Меня никто не сможет понять.

— Но я правда знаю, каково это потерять того, кто был тебе дорог… Когда я был совсем маленьким, меня опекала сова по имени Длинный коготь. Она была для меня как мать. Но потом я случайно привёл в наш дом племя ехидн. Длинный коготь спасла меня, но сама пала от их рук. Долгое время я был один, а потом я встретил Тома, Мэдди, затем — Тейлза и Наклза. Они стали моей новой семьёй.

— Как они могут быть твоей семьёй? Они даже тебе не родня! У тебя с ними нет общей крови! И ты всё же называешь их семьёй? Особенно ту ехидну, собратья которой убили твою приёмную мать?

— Семья не обязательно может быть по крови. Главное, чтобы члены семьи любили друг друга и были готовы постоять друг за друга, — попытался объяснить Соник. Шэдоу лишь недоверчиво взглянул на него.

— К тому же Наклз не виноват в этом. И мы с ним отпустили тяжёлое прошлое, чтобы можно было жить настоящим. И тебе советую поступить также. Ты ещё можешь всё исправить, Шэдоу. Пойдём со мной, и я обещаю, что ты не пожалеешь об этом, — продолжил синий, а затем протянул руку. Но чёрный лишь хмыкнул, а после обратился к собрату:

— Знаешь, я тоже хотел тебе кое-что предложить…

— И что же? — спросил его Соник.

— Понимаешь, я очень давно хотел встретиться с тобой. Та наша первая встреча была отнюдь не случайностью. Я искал тебя с момента своего освобождения из капсулы.

— Хотел встретиться? Искал меня? Для чего? Ты хотел убить меня? — не понимал синий ёж.

— О, нет. Нет. Твоё убийство не входит в мои планы. Пока что. Дело в том, что мы с тобой одной крови, или, если проще сказать, являемся братьями.

— Чтоооо?! — крикнул Соник в шоке.

— Да, мы с тобой своего рода братья, семья.

— Но как? Я же ведь родился на Мобиусе!

— Тебе просто стёрли воспоминания о колонии и отправили на другую планету. Разве это не объясняет, почему ты вообще не помнишь своих родителей? Своих настоящих, кровных?

— Но если мы с тобой братья, то тогда мы не должны между собой драться. Я могу помочь тебе. Помогу справиться с горем, хоть это и не будет легко…

— Мне не нужна в этом помощь, маленький ёжик. Я скорее хотел предложить тебе объединиться со мной…

— Объединиться? Для чего?

— Чтобы уничтожить этих ненавистных и жалких людишек! — прорычал Шэдоу, сжав левый кулак, а его глаза в то же мгновение стали ярко-красными.

— Но ты же сам работаешь с одним человеком… Почему ты тогда работаешь на Роботника, если так ненавидишь людей?

Шэдоу на его вопрос зловеще рассмеялся, Соник же недоуменно посмотрел на него.

— Ха-ха-ха-ха! Неужели… Неужели ты думал, что я, Совершенная Форма Жизни, работаю на этого самонадеянного, самовлюблённого и высокомерного человечишку? Он сам, того не зная, работает на меня! — ответил СФЖ, а дальше продолжил, почти прошипев. — Этим учёным нельзя доверять. Они только и делали, что проводили надо мной различные тесты, словно играли с беззащитной зверушкой. Я их всех возненавидел. Если бы не Мария, то я бы их всех уничтожил.

— Но зачем ты хочешь, чтобы я присоединился к тебе? Ведь ты и сам знаешь, что я против убийства множества людей.

— Когда я тебя встретил, то заметил в тебе большой потенциал. Ты очень быстр, ловок, силён и владеешь самой силой хаоса. Вместе, мы бы стали непобедимы. К тому же, разве солдаты не охотятся за тобой? Уверен, они ни перед чем не остановятся, чтобы поймать тебя и убить, впрочем как и твою странную семейку… Разве тебе бы не хотелось им отомстить? Чтобы они больше никогда тебя не трогали, не угрожали тебе? Присоединяйся ко мне, и мы уничтожим их и других, кто лишил нас близких нам людей, заставим их заплатить за это, — и с этими словами Шэдоу протянул руку, как ранее это сделал Соник. Сам синий ёж же задумался.

Это действительно звучало по-своему хорошо. Если он согласится на предложение, то ему больше не придётся иметь дело с гановцами, и тогда он будет жить спокойно со своей семьёй и своим братом. Соник давно хотел узнать о своей семье. Настоящей, кровной семье. Узнать своё происхождение.

Чувствовать себя своим. Его мысли внезапно отвлёк Шэдоу:

— Соглашайся, брат, и мы станем одной семьёй. Разве мы оба не хотели иметь семью?

Брат. Кровный, родной брат. Так хорошо иметь похожего на тебя. Однако понимает ли Шэдоу смысл слова «семья», помимо того, что она одной крови? Разве станет Соник счастлив с тем, кто сосредоточен на мести? К тому же, черный ёж, если так ненавидит людей, то может убить и Тома с Мэдди. Тех, кто приютил и принял синего ежа в свою семью. А Тейлз и Наклз? Они хоть не одной крови, но они также его любят, как если бы были родными братьями.

Соник, размышляя все варианты, наконец таки решился…

Сначала он потянулся, чтобы подать руку, но затем отдёрнул её. Его сородич озадаченно взглянул на него.

— Я не могу, — ответил Соник.

— Почему же? — спокойно спросил его Шэдоу.

— Если ты используешь Роботника в своих целях, то почему вдруг не захочешь использовать меня?

— Ну, доктор является всего лишь пешкой в моей игре, а вот ты играешь гораздо большую роль, чем какая-то пешка. Ты почти такой же, как и я. Создан учёными, брошен, оставлен без дорогого существа.

— Но у нас есть так же и различия! У меня есть те, за кого я могу сражаться, в то время как ты одинок, обиженный на весь мир! — добавил Соник, и от таких слов Шэдоу оскалился и зарычал.

— Шэдоу, пожалуйста, ещё не поздно сойти с тропы войны и мести. Ты ещё сможешь найти своё счастье. Ведь если ты будешь держать в себе ненависть, злость, гнев и обиду, то никогда не выберешься в свет.

— Мне нравится этот путь! И я не отступлюсь! Лучше ответь мне: «Ты со мной или нет?».

— Нет! Хоть ты мне и брат по крови, но моя настоящая семья — это члены семьи Ваковски! И если ты посмеешь хоть кого-то из них тронуть, то БУДЕШЬ… ИМЕТЬ…ДЕЛО… СО МНОЙ!!! — прокричал Соник. Его глаза из зелёных стали голубыми, а сам начал искриться голубыми молниями.

— Будь по твоему. Ты сам выбрал свою погибель, — прошипел Шэдоу, тоже покрываясь молниями. Своими глазами, ставшими из алых в ярко-красные, он злобно посмотрел на своего брата.

А затем два ежа кинулись друг на друга, и между ними началась битва…

I made this... get spooky spooky - YouTube

Personally I like to take a character and combine 19th century and modern day advice.

The character is given every chance to improve, every chance to grow and learn but they ignore it stubbornly in favor of following their own path. This ultimately leads them down a hole they can’t climb out of, their ambitions and goals blind them to a point where they don’t even realize it.

Where I got the idea from is a story structure called the tragic plot embryo. This whole thing is what I’m using for my story In the Grey actually. If you want to see the tragic plot embryo and how I use it you can just hit me up or google it 😊

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Me finding an unlabeled document saved on my personal computer that only I use: who could have written such a beautiful story?

You are allowed to like your own writing. You wrote it, it's tailored to yourself, you should enjoy it. You took plain words and put them in a beautiful order to create an awesome story. Beat that imposter syndrome and be proud.

Tips for writing plot twists

1. Start with a false sense of security

• The best plot twists work because the audience feels confident they know what’s coming.

• How? Lay down a trail of clues that mislead without outright lying. Create a sense of inevitability.

• Example: A detective follows all the evidence to one suspect, only for the real criminal to be someone they completely overlooked.

2. Plant the seeds early

• A plot twist is most satisfying when it feels inevitable in hindsight. Subtly sprinkle clues throughout the narrative.

• How? Use small, seemingly insignificant details that take on new meaning after the reveal.

• Example: A side character is always conveniently absent during key events—later revealed to be orchestrating everything.

3. Subvert expectations without betraying logic

• A twist should surprise readers, but it must feel plausible within the story’s framework.

• How? Flip assumptions in a way that feels earned. Avoid twists that rely on coincidences or break the rules of your world.

• Example: A character who appears harmless and incompetent is revealed as the mastermind, with subtle foreshadowing tying everything together.

4. Exploit emotional investment

• Twists land harder when they involve characters the audience deeply cares about. Use relationships and personal stakes to heighten the impact.

• How? Create twists that change how readers perceive the characters they thought they knew.

• Example: The protagonist’s mentor is revealed to be the antagonist, making the betrayal personal and devastating.

5. Use red herrings strategically

• Mislead readers by planting false clues that draw attention away from the real twist.

• How? Make the red herrings believable but not overly obvious. They should enhance, not distract from, the story.

• Example: A mysterious object everyone believes is cursed turns out to be completely irrelevant, shifting focus from the true danger.

6. Timing is everything

• Reveal the twist at the moment it has the most dramatic or emotional weight. Too early, and it loses impact. Too late, and it feels rushed.

• How? Build tension to a breaking point before the twist shatters expectations.

• Example: A twist that flips the climax—when the hero thinks they’ve won, they realize they’ve fallen into the villain’s trap.

7. Allow for multiple interpretations

• A great twist makes readers rethink the entire story, encouraging them to revisit earlier scenes with new understanding.

• How? Design the twist so that the story works both before and after the reveal.

• Example: A character’s cryptic dialogue is recontextualized after the twist, revealing their hidden motives.

8. Pair the twist with consequences

• A twist shouldn’t just shock—it should change the trajectory of the story. Make it matter.

• How? Show how the twist raises the stakes or deepens the conflict, forcing the characters to adapt.

• Example: After discovering the villain is their ally, the protagonist must choose between loyalty and justice.

9. Keep the reader guessing

• A single twist is good, but layered twists create an unforgettable story. Just don’t overdo it.

• How? Build twists that complement each other rather than competing for attention.

• Example: A twist reveals the villain’s plan, followed by a second twist that the hero anticipated it and set a counter-trap.

10. Test the twist

• Before finalizing your twist, ensure it holds up under scrutiny. Does it fit the story’s logic? Does it enhance the narrative?

• How? Ask yourself if the twist creates a moment of genuine surprise while respecting your audience’s intelligence.

• Example: A shocking but clever reveal that leaves readers satisfied rather than feeling tricked.

Sometimes my dreams have so many crazy plot twists that actually make so much sense within the context of the story and the world they’re set in but then I wake up and spend so much time trying to remember the details of how the story got there that I forget it by the time I get to writing it down.

Alx: Artemis??

Artms: wait wait wait , is that mud on my shoes?

Artms: Oh hell nah its bad enough im dying with messy hair , this is unacceptable.

”and then they woke up and realised none of it was real” is the most pathetic way to end a story ever. If I find a worse one, I’ll inform y’all.

I full believe that Bernard pulls a Stephanie and is just in the Manor at all times and the bats have to, like, work around him because he doesn’t know they’re bats.

Like they’ll be having family dinner or a movie night and theres a breakout in Arkham so they have to go and its like “what do we do about Bernard?”

“Knock him out!”

“Kick him out?”

“Silence him—”

“DAMIAN!”

Sorry, the old Shiro can't come to the phone right now.

Empire Strikes Back

When I was little, my older brothers had once set me up a film evening, while our parents were out. That was Empire Strikes Back. They knew the plot, for sure, years later it was, so they brought me plenty of biscuits and candies, to cheer me up at the Cloud City hand chopping scene. So right after that "nooooooo!" scene, Luke jumped down, and our parents came back. And they started shouting at my brothers smth like: "why is your little sister drowning in sweets?!".

And I went: "But, mummy, I am very upset!"

Mum: "Why would that be?"

Me: "Because Vader has such an ungrateful and naughty son. Luke doesn't love his father at all. I would never reject if you were suggesting me a dinner or asking somewhere out."

I simultaneously regret and do not regret this

okay but what if i tell you i really like watching you read under the sun or in the rain or all curled up in warm duvet in dark winters by the fire or on a train ride back home? what if i tell you i enjoy watching your eyebrows do their little dance when the author throws another plot twist at your face or the way you bite your lips because you really can't wait to know everything about that one character who really is the hero but isn't given enough credit? what if i tell you i see you when you try to hide behind your smile? what if i tell you it's a privilege to love you?

A Fairytale Remake! I made it for a class I have, my friends seem to be pleased with the story so might as well post it!

There was once a rumoured princess with beautiful soft long and lucious hair made from the finest strand of the darkest night. The locals tell that only the bravest, most courageous knight can rescue her, but most of the males in their village back down from this rumoured quest.

Rereading the folktale over and over again, the King’s finest knight pondered and sighed as she softly spoke to herself with a big sigh, "That would be awful for a girl who doesn’t know how to fend for herself all alone in some place weird." she exclaimed whilst shaking her head, her comrade noticing her distress. "Why don’t you try looking for her? I think the king would be pleased to know that his best knight found the impossible quest!" the other knight stated, she was starting to get discouraged. "I don’t know, it sounds a bit delusional and ridiculous to take that task.. but i guess, it doesn’t hurt to try!" as she stood up, "Attaboy! I err mean girl!" the fellow knight patted her shoulder as he disappeared to guard the kingdom.

Our Shining Protagonist proceed to approach the king about her attempt to put an end to the rumour or be able to save the poor girl from her impending doom. There sat in the middle of the throne room was being informed of her arrival and request to have a word with him. "Ah, my dear knight, what is it that I can help you with?" noticing that she was kneeling in front of him as would a servant to a king would, he gently grasped the knight as he uttered, "Stand up, my child. Treat me like a friend and surely I wouldn't want to make you my enemy." his eyes close as he lightly laughed to lighten the mood around the uptight knight.

"Come, Let us go to my garden so we could have a proper chat" the knight reluctantly follows the king, unsure due to her lowly status against the king. The king hums a familiar tune as they walk towards the garden area of the Palace, a medium sized table with expensive silk cloth, gold utensils, and seemingly extravagant food was in the middle of the gazebo. "You must be hungry from all of that training, go ahead and eat for a bit." as if a queue, her stomach gurgled as she hung her head low with the soft cackle of the King's laughter. After quietly nibbling on a pastry, (even tho she's a knight, she was taught manners) while taking sips of her tea, she then became serious."Now my child, what is it?" the king noticed her expression changed after the short break, "My dear King, I would like to take the challenging task of finding the rumoured princess and I would like to ask for your permission to do so." lowering her gaze of the king, she patiently awaited his reply.

The king broke the silence," Ahh yes, the folktale of the princess with long hair. That is quite an ambitious task, my dear knight. I must say if you are able to acquire even just a small info about that rumour then your reputation will increase faster than the speed of light but if you must, then you have my permission." the thought of the king having his best knight be crowded or even attacked if she managed to overcome this impossible feat, frightened him but nonetheless agreed due to his trust in her. "You have my word, your highness." she bowed as the king nodded.

The knight went to her quarters and started to prepare for her journey, she hesitated to look at the scroll given to her from the king. There in the scroll is the rumoured location of where the princess is held captive. Her Journey started at dawn where almost no soul was still awake, without a word she took her mighty steed as they trotted to their destination. She made a quick stop at the tavern that was beside the road she was taking, as she entered, the chattering seized and all eyes were on her. She doesn't blame them, her armour was one of a kind.

A specially made, handcrafted titanium armour embroidered silver and Royal blue trimmings. Whispers then proceeded to cloud the whole place but then a huge shadow then approached her, making her grip the pummel of her sword. "I think you should remove your helmet, knight. It's kinda rude." the guy joked but at the same time was curious like the rest of them of what could the famous King's highest knight would look like.

Our esteemed knight politely chuckled, "Oh Apologies, I must've forgotten to take it off. " as she slowly gripped the bottom of her helm, the folks that were watching from afar, went nearer and nearer. Black locks flow from the helmet as she pulled away, fair skin, a striking pair of almost glowing obsidian eyes, and a polite, shy smile gracing her features. The crowd went wild in surprise to see a pretty knight in their presence, "Sorry, kid. We don't mean any harm, we're just surprised that you're a lady. We thought you were a guy!" the big guy reassuringly pats her back, as he chuckled.

"So what brings you to this side of the woods, knight?" he asked as he took the bar seat next to her, "I've been sent by the king to try and find out more about the rumoured princess but I feel like I will not succeed." the knight hung her head low. "Aww kid, don't worry about it. Yeah, it's a folktale and all but folktales don't appear in thin air. There's usually something that originated it, so don't beat yourself up too much!" he nudged her in a playful way, she chuckled as she took a sip of her water.

"Thanks for the warm welcome, sir.." she trailed off, hinting for his name. "Reginald, but call me Reggie, kiddo." Reggie was motioning for her hand, "Thank you so much, Sir Reggie." she said as she shook his hand in gratitude. "I must go now, that poor princess might be dying for all we know." she turned to pick up her helm, as the tavern people came with her to see her off.

After she and her horse, roach, took a detour to the tavern, they proceeded to gallop to the forest following the map that the king gave to her.
