  1. She's an evil Parshendi! Who pretends to be friendly! And if you look into her eyes You will see that she's deadly!
  2. What? More pokemon cards? Time for a new pony comic.
  3. Pretty much anyone could work. I imagine there's an NPC quartermaster who handles this sort of arrangement. Feel free to ad-lib it.
  4. Name your pugs Justice and Punishment, so you can tell evildoers that you brought Justice and Punishment with you, and they're hungry. Another real life badchull one-liner. Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper who killed over 500 Russian soldiers who were invading his country, was asked what he felt when he shot an invader. "The recoil," he replied nonchalantly.
  5. ...Dark!Voidgaze? Of course, there's also the old favorite. "I'm here to kick arse and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum." Supposedly improvised on set, actually.

  7. Ooh, this'll be soooooo much fun! We can do each other's nails and giggle over plots to gain upvotes! And then a pillow fight! And then something something mutual bonding and respect! I'm glad you chose me. Sometimes spending time with girls can be sooooo awkward, amirite?
  8. Did you just write ten incredibly imaginative fantasy writing prompts on a whim?
  9. We all know the story. The hero is surrounded, up against all odds. He faces down a horde much more powerful than he, but he knows no fear. He merely opens his mouth, and utters a line. A line of calm, collected, badchull awesomeness. In one sentence, the hero reminds us why we love action movies. This thread is for sharing all of the badchull one-liners you've enjoyed from the world of fiction. Doesn't matter whether you wrote them or you saw them on TV--if it's badchull, post it here. For my contribution, feast your eyes on this quote from a story my friend wrote, a long time ago. (For context, the character is a mutated monstrosity engineered to end a war with the planet-destroying Julth. The Consecro is the most powerful weapon in the universe.) Your move, 17th Shard.
  10. It should also be noted that it takes exactly the same amount of force to kill someone with blunt force trauma as it does to knock 'em unconscious. So the people in the movies who are sworn not to kill, but go around knocking people in the skulls with clubs and nightsticks? Probably leaving a trail of accidental corpses behind them anyway. * cough BATMAN cough *
  11. Several of the species on Multiverses, like the Veiled Ones and the Daemons, made considerable use of living technology. We always counted their biomechanical creations as part of their collective technology, since it clearly takes a lot of inventive ingenuity for a race to advance to the point of making such constructs. We were all Whovians on Multiverses, so we applied a lot our classification system to several Doctor Who races. Since the Tenth Doctor talked about the Time Lords easily crossing into parallel universes, we categorized them firmly as a Type XII race. The Daleks we suspected to be a Type XI species powerful enough to force the Time Lords into withdrawing their out-of-universe forces back into their home dimension, thus causing the Time War to be fought predominantly in the primary Whoniverse. Of course, on good ol' Multiverses we had races that could have beaten the tar out of both the Daleks and the Time Lords at the same time. I'm a bit nostalgic, if you can't tell.
  12. Holbenilord--basically the most awesome Wikia user in the history of Wikia users--complained about the vagueness of the Kardashev Scale and how it wasn't quite fitting for our purposes. So he spent an afternoon creating this one for us to use instead. We spent a couple of years creating strange and exotic civilizations on that wiki, and never once did we conceive of a species that couldn't be assigned a measure on the scale. Multiverses.wikia.com. Though after a scandal occurred in which it was revealed Wikia was exploiting a license loophole to sell users' work without their consent, we moved most of the best articles to Multiverses.shoutwiki.com. Sadly, that wiki has been dead for a few years now. There were less than a dozen users, and only four or five of those were continuously active. Eventually we just sort of ran out of creative juices, and everyone drifted off to different corners of the Internet. Last I heard, Holbenilord was the moderator of a speculative evolution forum, my friend Styracosaurus Rider took Fanfiction.net by storm, and I found my way to the wonderful world of fantasy, and thus to the 17th Shard.
  13. You don't have to do that, but it's here. I just wish we had a better system. I can't tell if someone downvoted me as a joke, an accident, or as a complaint about my whining on the thread.
  14. To whoever expressed their opinion on this post of mine-- --you're not half as funny as you think you are.
  15. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef. What do you call a cow with three legs? Lean beef. What do you call a cow with two legs? Lucentia. What I'm saying is, Lucentia isn't worthy of the MucMuffin.
  16. Sam Trattner is the goth. Her mother, Elizabeth Trattner, is the one who's about to marry Obliteration. Oh, and since I've never been one to turn down a triple dare--who else thinks Soulcaster and Regalia were made for each other?
  17. Yeah, but there might be a difference between accusing her of wrongdoing in her past and sweet-talking her into doing something nice in the present. I don't know her and I don't know your situation, but I think it'd at least be worth a try to talk to her about it, emphasizing not the injustice of the situation but how much it would mean to Abbie.
  18. When was the last time you tried? This sounds really important to your sister, so it just might be worth the risk.
  19. I'm late to say this, but all of that sounds really awesome. I can't wait to start seeing your characters in action. As for me, I was browsing through the archives of an old collaborative worldbuilding wiki I used to be part of, and found the classification system we used for measuring a civilization's technological prowess. Thought y'all might be interested in seeing it, since it's the best system of its kind I know of: It also reminded me that I haven't been considering differing technological levels in my own sci-fi 'verse, so I'll have to get cracking on that.
  20. That sucks. The only other good option, then, is to try taking it up with your mom. You probably can't rely on her changing her mind if she's reasoned herself into this course of action, so your best bet might be to try guilting/nagging her into returning to the original plan. Disclaimer:
  21. Yeah, "might" isn't a very good argument in this case. Is there any way you could make a detour to Spokane with your sister, in the event of Mother Commitment Failure Syndrome?
  22. That one's pretty cool. And hey, I don't really mind a bit of unrealistic technology. I just like poking fun at it whenever I see in fiction. I'm sure you understand.
  23. The technological ridiculousness of that weapon design is hurting my head more than any of David's metaphors.
  24. Wow, Obliteration seems almost sweet here. Wonder what he's saying... * reads Song of Songs chapter 4, verse 5 * OH CALAMITY WHY WHY DID YOU DO THAT WHY DO I HAVE TO IMAGINE HIM SAYING THAT Upvote.
