The Eldritch God of Weirdness finds this impressive o.o Note to self: If you ever need to build a maze call Oversleep.
-
Sure, if you want to get really technical... ok, fine, I just think scary stuff needs a holiday and we kind of already do, so there. October is the month of scary stuff. We need a holiday dedicated to weird, surreal things. I declare my birthday: February 27 Weirdoween... or Halloweird... or Weirdmas... Im still working on it. In fact lets just declare the entire month of February the month of weird. Any especially weird days coinciding with Valentines have nothing to do with that I really dislike Valentines and feel like ruining it for everybody. It is just a bonus Yes. But like our unsparkly Overlordess (Overlordette? Overlady? (Twi what do you prefer?)) said you can just make it a perk of the cosplay.

Halloween is about horror to me. Which always wants me to make a weird cartoon spoofing that entire "Christmas isnt about presents, it is about love" thing into "Halloween is not about candy, it is about horror, about scaring others"
-
I would dress up as creepily as possible (In my opinion Halloween isnt about looking like something, thats for cosplayers, Halloween is about looking horrifying), but Halloween is sadly barely a thing here and even if it was I completely lack a social life so I dont have a reason to dress up.

Read Umbrella Academy, thanks everyone Im reading the spoilers anyway, I have no interest in reading The Cursed Child. If you google for the daughter of The Church of Satan and scroll down far enough you end up getting pictures of Taylor Swift. Im not sure how to react to this.

I really like it. It is pure anime madness. About the fanservice I think it is meant as a parody, it is so over the top, just like the rest of the series that it just shouldnt be taken seriously. So option number 2, if you ask me.

@Quiver I need some inspiration and you read too many comics: Whats the weirdest and/or most creative super powers you have seen? Of course everyone who are not Quiver can answer too...

No, Rubix.

I gave you an upvote and an internet for the pun.

Having a demon stuck in the dial up would be nightmarish. The dial up screeches from hell would become literal dial up screeches from hell.

This might be bad.

Pokémon Teams for Fictional Characters
Zathoth replied to Quiver's topic in Entertainment Discussion
These are all pokemon I really like. I dont know what that says about me. Vin has mostly steel types, because of obvious reasons. Scarmory: It flies and it is made of metal, fits her perfectly. Mawille: It is adorable and awesome. Lucario: Steel and Fighting, makes perfect sense. Gardevoir: Psychic type (you know, pushing metal with your mind) and it looks very graceful. Greninja: Because ninjas. Alakazam: Half the reason for Gardevoir. -
Im happy if I finish this.

Myself trying to finish writing a song... So Songs of the Dead
-
Do Pikachus dream of electric cheese? I had to... One theory Ive heard is that language in the pokemon world came from the cries of pokemon and not the other way around. So the word Blaze comes from Blazikens cry and Blaziken is a fire pokemon... it makes sense! So looping that back to what you were talking about it is possible that pokemon helped make civilization possible, especially electric types.

If you dream walk a little bit too far, beyond the phantasmagorias of your mind, if you remain undistracted by the naked celebrities, if you walk past the baboons that give sage advice, if you pass the halls of Azathoth and keep walking, flying, swimming. Keep moving. If you do you may see shimmering orbs in the distance, you may see planets in all manner of possible and impossible shapes and sizes, you may see clouds and fishes and birds and ships, all this just floating around in the air. Then you will realize that there is air to breath, you will realize that you need to breath. You are not dreaming anymore, you have entered Skyverea. It sort of annoyed me that every time I needed help with Skyverea I had to explain the entire bizarre setting it has and usually I just ended up copy-pasting an explanation from earlier, but then I had to find the explanation to copy paste... so I am just making a thread that I can link people to every time I need help. And you get to read my strange ideas. Everyone wins! Skyverea is my weird, insane, surreal science fantasy horror mystery serial web novel that will happen one of these days as soon as I can get the magic figured out. The Skyverea itself is, as the blurb above says, basically Super Mario Galaxy that lies beyond your dreams~ It is a portmanteau of Sky-Universe-Sea, so it is pronounced "Skay-ver-ee", not "Skay-ver-ee-a". Dont blame me, blame English spelling. The plot goes something like: "Riem the theif lives in a planet system by the name of Hela, on a large planet (though of course to us it is just the size of a country) just called The Harbor. He steals things, cons people and takes jobs stealing things and giving them to other people, for a fee, of course. One day, during one of those jobs he gets set up for a murder, captured and sentenced to death, but manages to escape and then goes on a bizarre adventure trying to find out who set him up." Now, that's out of the way, world building details! Stars: Stars are glowing spheres of differing sizes, the main source of both light and magic. They grow brighter and dimmer as the "day" goes because I wanted day and night cycles. Once a "year" they stop glowing completely for a "day", signaling the start of a new "year". This is for some reason uniform all over Skyverea. Planets: Planets come in all shapes, sizes and kinds of material (me having stolen the setting from Super Mario Galaxy), there are regular, round planets made out of dirt, planets made out of mostly rock, ice or metal, square planets, flat planets, planets that are giant tea cups, flowers or ancient, sleeping gods. Gravity? Gravity just works. It generally pulls things to the middle, but sometimes pulls in other directions. Clouds: You know how you can sometimes imagine clouds taking shapes? In the Skyverea clouds actually take shapes, if that wasnt enough they also feel the need to move like the things they are taking shapes as. It is not uncommon to see an entire zoo of clouds floating across the sky in shapes of people, birds and dinosaurs, or see clouds silently acting out Hamlet. There is a debate going on if clouds are sentient or not, but sometimes clouds takes things, or creatures. Everyone knows someone who's grandmother was taken by a cloud and her remains rained over two planet systems over and everyone has had bones rained over their ceiling. Moons: Moons are pale, glowing rocks. They have lunar phases, just like on our world, but rather than one half being blocked by the earth they shine light on their own and one half disappears and shows up somewhere else in the Skyverea. They are also a source of magic and a way to measure time. On to the magic. I keep changing my mind on this, but I'll share what I have. (Yes I really like Chromathury) First we have Starlight. It exists on a spectrum from cognitive or illusionary magic to more physical magic. It used to be like this: Seeing the problem? It is now this: 7 is now fused with 9 (So you can get more stuff than you put in because the Starlight creates the rest) and 8 is its own system (I just really want beams, force fields and lightsabers, ok?) Problems I have now is the awkward jump between 3 and 4 and the fact that it is now a little short. Ideas? Anyway, this tells you nothing about how it actually works, does it? If you are human you are born with three of these Illuminations (that's what I call the 'colors', or numbers). If you get them all in a row or all over the spectrum is up in the air at the moment. Magic is done by 'grabbing' the Starlight (which is not regular light, you cant do magic from a candle flame), weaving it around to put your intent into it and letting the Illumination loose (The Spell). Of course to make sure the characters cant just do anything they need to practice. Take 5 (Jazz pun intended) for example. Moving wood isn't the same thing as moving steel, they are similar, like picking up a bass after learning guitar, but if you want to move fire you need to start practicing again. You can move something you haven't practiced enough by really putting time and intent into the Illumination, but you may not have the time. 7 is one of my favorites because how odd I decided it to be. In an old manga called Law of Ueki most powers work by turning x into y. So you have stuff like turning trash into trees, beads into bombs, towels into steel, tomatoes into lava, so I just decided to steal that. You need to figure out both what you are transforming and what you are transforming it to. Making Starlight Magitech is common, you need a special kind of metal to program the Starlight and a special kind of crystal to save the Starlight in. Saved Starlight can also be used to normal Stargazers (Mages) when there is no natural Starlight to grab. Aurora/Bowlight (Rainbows, but without that entire rain thing) You remember that missing 8? It is this, except now a lot more versatile. I havent really gotten into how this works yet, but I'll share what I have anyway. Aurora can be shaped into hard, physical objects, like platforms, blades and shields. The objects are uneffected by gravity, unless the.... auroraist (?) wills them to be effected by gravity, it can also be formed into beams and fired. Maybe also into gasses or liquids, maybe different colors have different effects, I don't know yet. Moonlight: As Moons are not as common as Stars Lunatics are rarer and they can usually not just grab the light and wave it around. Rather they save the Moonlight in their eyes and expand it upon use. I don't have a nice spectrum list for Moonlight yet, but I have ideas Weird senses: Hear the voices of objects, light pre cog, retro cog, hear emotions, smell which person it is you need at the moment. Summoning: Summon things out of other things. Dragons out of fire, birds out of the air, ants out of flesh, flowers out of earth, ninjas out of everywhere. It doesnt need to make that much sense, but it helps. Change tangibility: Act as if things aren't there, or even better, force the guards that are chasing you act as if the air is a wall, or the ground is a liquid (make it a non-Newtonian one for extra fun), if someone is acting especially heartless pretend their chest isn't there and fulfill their wishes. And the floor is lava, that doesn't make much sense, but it did give me ideas... There is also time/space manipulation, just a bit more limited than usual. You can reverse time in a certain area, but everyone will remember what happened (and be lightly annoyed that they have redo whatever it is they were doing), fold space and make point a and point b be much closer or just slow down whoever you are fighting. Lunatics are in general at least cloud cuckoo landers, their magic hitches on them being able to make sense out of what they want to do, no matter how little logical sense that actually makes. While Starlight messes with the rules of physics Moonlight makes reality and logic look the other way. All these are light based, but I want things that go bump in the night. On random idea, which is cool, but I may use for something else, or not at all was Soundmagic (Don't worry, I know you are tired of reading this, I am almost done with this very ranty post) Soundmagic works though sound (obviously). Some ideas I have are controlling certain things that can hear the song you are playing, making it so no one can make a sound and thus forcing them to move very silently and they can forget about punching your face in, whistling in the pitch of something to break it... or cook it, recreate the T-rex scene from Jurassic Park by drumming on something and actually summon the monster, create a cursed earworm that must be passed on to get rid of the curse, saving sounds to then summon the effects of the thing that made the sound, like a bomb... I don't know, all weird ideas that could be something. If I have sound magic I could also have scent magic and taste magic... So, now Im done, until I think about names for more than 3 of the characters and post a character list.

You can technically find anything for free on the internet... Though things that are actually free, no using somewhat legally dubious means... that standard is still surprisingly high. Nightvale, xkcd, rwby, Worm... -
Rubixpool ... please someone make that... Harry Potter Randomness and the admins stone Randomness and the chamber of admins Randomness and the Admin from Adminbar Randomness and the Goblet of Admins Randomness and the Order of Admins Randomness and the Half-blood Admin Randomness and the Deathly Admins Randomness and the thing we are pretending is not really a thing

Shouldnt it be Randomlight Archives: The Way of Admins Randomners: Adminheart Randomtraz: Admins vs the Evil Babajis? The Gentleman Admins: The Pranks of Rubix Rumora That was a stretch.

We obviously need to start over with another series. Maybe Random Files: Storm Admins (Admin Front) or The Wheel of Random: The Eye of the Admins (The Admins of the World) or we can just do Randomborn: The Final Admin.

When Im trying to make you sound even cooler you dont just correct me with the truth DX -
Purson - The Bitter Suite If anyone needs to replace one earworm with ten others I recommend the entire album. You may not think the songs are all that catchy, then you find yourself humming the them without thinking. Purson are sneaky like that

Ok fine I see why Australians are afraid of snakes, but they have only have themselves to blame, living in a country where everything is poisonous enough to kill you. Even the tap water is poisonous enough to kill a young elephant.
