Ooh, the second best revenge is getting their phone to make the Apple Pay noise every time they stand too close to a cash register.

The best revenge is living well.
The second best revenge is putting your ex’s number in a pop song so that everyone who hears will call them and they’ll never again have a moment of peace.
QuotePlease, add your ideas of what the second best revenge might be. Don’t be violent or freaky, just silly goofy cuz that’s how we do things.

Yeah, I feel like I missed a lot.
Not to mention: Dramaqueen, Karger, Fish, so many others. Gone.
Those of us who are still here from the old days, LewsTherinTelescope is still active, as are Alder24 and Nameless.
But that's about it for the pre-2020 gang. Even the 2020 people are sparse.
I actually almost died because I thought you didn't know who Fadran was.
The thing is there are active sharers now who don't know that legend.
Oh yeah Exp is here!
RP’s have never been the same without Fadran. And he had the bestest SU’s.

I miss Thaid. How am I supposed to do stupid things without someone to bounce my dumb ideas off and make them even more unitelligent? also, if we want old people, Xino is old. he might be the oldest person I've interacted with. (Joined before Ene, in fact) Him and Zephrun, who I PMed about TLT once, but not much beyond that. then there's Experience and Trutharchivist. more too.
I barely interacted with fadran. I actually might not have, and just read some of his stuff. and I've been here longer than Eddie has.
Ok listen by like, TWO DAYS. But I was super active in RP’s for a while, and in the middle of the night when only a select few were awake (Archie, Cin, Fadran/Fadracula, Wittles, Nerdy)…

Imagine being one of the older sharders.
I think I'm currently watching the fourth generation since mine, but I have no idea how many occurred during my mission.
Oh Frusty there were so many
they came and went and came and went and came and came and came
5 hours ago, KnightSkye Reforged said:oh my GOSH. I love this! Wish I could rep it more than once.
naw, you want old sharders? Try @Through The Living Glass or @IcedOutPenguin or @Edema Rue. They are old.
Nahhhh old is @Senor Sassy and @The Wandering Wizard and @Channelknight Fadran and Thaid…oh oh and Silh and Ranryu and Cellist and Insa and Bookwyrm
Hmm, not a lot of old AND active people.

hey guys! i wrote a short thing for Carissa for a project hehehehehe
do ask if you have questions :3333 >:3
enjoy!!!
@Edema Rue i feel like you might enjoy this one
That night, Carissa did not dream. Her consciousness wandered for a very long time before her eyes finally fluttered open.
Her vision was somewhat obscured by air that was near opaque, viscous with dark fog that seemed to cling in disconnected, nonsensical clouds and drifted, then leapt, skipping from one plane to another in half a blink’s time. It left in its wake a cold and a heat more intense than that of the natural world, causing her skin to break out in goosebumps and sweat all at once. Something like nails on a chalkboard sounded off to the right, far behind her, echoing over a thousand whispers that scraped through the mist—dying, gravelly voices that hissed like snakes and sometimes screamed, raw and shuddering. She almost thought she caught a glimpse of a hand, or of a face, but as soon as she blinked, it disappeared, morphing into something vaguely horrifying before dissolving entirely.
A faintly metallic taste bloomed on her tongue, and without having thought even briefly about turning, she did, to face the demon she’d known waited for her.
“Did you miss me, little alchemist?”
Its voice was more terrible than it had been before, now a discordance of screeching rasps that had once been, in comparison, something akin to music. Bad music, but music all the same.
And how different it–he?–looked. Milky, half-translucent skin stretched thin over the limbs that had once been incorporeal, showing underneath a revolting web of nerves and veins. His face had been plastered into a smile that spread too far, reaching a pair of eyes that carried no color.
Carissa’s stomach heaved, and she hardly fought the urge to empty its contents.
His smile spread, carrying the cadence of a smirk as he bent down to meet her eyes, reaching out to twist his finger around a loose strand of her hair. She recoiled.
“Do you find me so terrible to behold, curseling? That’s a pity if there ever was one. Didn’t you know I am of your own handiwork? Your precious blood bought me a young man’s skin, a poet’s eyes… a dreamer’s heart, and a singer’s tongue. I may look alarming now, but I’ll grow into them yet.”
“...bought them?” Carissa’s voice was swallowed up in the thickness around her. It warped as she spoke, flickering in and out of focus, but a cold, sharp touch on her shoulder settled the chaos, which was replaced with a grating, screeching chuckle.
“Oh, my small treasury.” His finger twirled absently around the strand of her hair. “I thought you more intelligent. Of course I bought them. What else could I do with your blood but fulfill my Ascension?”
When she didn’t respond, the demon stepped closer, disentangling his hand from her curl. “Your blood, curseling, is extremely valuable tender here. I can buy anything I want—things that would have taken years to accrue any other way. But with you, well...”
She could feel his gaze boring through her, even though his eyes were blank.
“It’s much easier,” he finished softly, voice crackling and scraping as he leaned down and brushed her hair off her neck with his free hand. She stiffened, sensing her heart thud heavily in her chest. The demon paused, allowing her a moment to speak.
“W-wait. What— what are you doing?”
Though she couldn’t see his face, she could sense the sneer in his reply. “Taking what you promised me, curseling.” He paused for a moment, his thumb running across her shoulder, prompting a shiver of knives down her spine. “You’re not afraid, Carissa, are you?”
Trembling, she pulled half-heartedly against his grip, which, unsurprisingly, produced no result. She attempted to steel herself, wishing she were less vulnerable and less terrified.
Rachael’s pale frame had become visible in her mind’s eye, lying petrified there on the bed in that perpetual state of horror and desperation. Tears had run down her cheeks, chin trembling, and Carissa’s fingers had brushed them away, soothing her with whispers and words that were much prettier than real promises.
Taking a deep breath, Carissa brought herself back to the black, screaming plane, to the demon’s frigid touch.
“No. I’m not afraid. Take what we agreed on.”
For half a second, the demon’s body lurched, morphing into the same fog that surrounded them, face erupting with a thousand teeth, gnashing and screaming, and then, he returned to his solid form once more. She thought would have missed it if she’d blinked.
“Do tell Rondere hello for me,” he scraped in her ear, and then his teeth pierced the side of her neck. There was pain and hollowness, and the sound of her own scream, and then he was gone.
Soaked with sweat and trembling, Carissa bolted upright, heart hammering faster than she’d thought possible, head lagging behind her jagged movement. She felt as though she was vibrating, floating. She was cold, but something searing in comparison burned her neck, and her hand came away slick, oozing with the metallic, stinging tang of blood.
Her blood.
She stumbled to her feet, significantly weaker and heavier than she thought she should have been—hadn’t he only taken a pint?—and pulled her blanket against her chest. It was leaden, though, and it dragged her towards the floor. She released it, taking a step that miraculously connected with the floor even as it tilted out of kilter. Her next step was a worse gamble, and she felt her knees crumbling beneath her like ash as she reached for the doorknob.
It dodged her hand, diving out of the way with the rest of the room. She tried again through the nauseating tilting, only barely managing to grab hold of it, using both hands to turn it and drag herself outside.
The screeching in her ears slowly faded to a terrible, thick silence broken only by an alien, frantic pounding, and her vision became obstructed at the edges by a swirling kind of fog.
Unaware of having tripped over herself, she reached to crawl forward, desperate, and her own blue hands were the last thing she registered before she crashed to the ground with an unremarkable thud.
Woahhhhh that was epic, you’re right I totally enjoyed it. Reading it on a ski lift was definitely the move.

Ooh, nice!
Thank you! It's fine if you don't comment for them all, it just feels good to know someone's reading them, yk? Even though I see that the blog gets views, that doesn't mean the people read them.
Edit: do you think I should make a thread here? (Creator's Corner.) Or post status updates or something?
Up to you! In my experience, a thread usually does better than a blog, and posting an SU helps people who follow you to know about it.

Hey, Rue, how're your essays going? (Small talk be like:)
I wrote a bunch of poems, most of them short
Now I can't stop thinking of rhymes,
And reading in lines.
I'm posting today's soon.
it's seventeen poems,
I do believe.
Plus two short stories,
for you to read.
edit2: (^not the best lol but ya. Also, some of the poems will probably/hopefullly seem kinda like nonsense lol....)
Edit: also, i used your Dreaming prompt for a story, except not exactly. it's more like (or going to be, if i write more) similar to Your Name maybe? (Have you watched it? I loved it)
Edit again: here they are: yesterday (~half poems, and I think the first story there is the Dreams one) and today (lots of poems).
Also, do you mind when I share my writing with you/ask you to read it?
Essays are finished, unless I decide to do another one for a contest. 5 new assignments to do tonight, but they’re all pretty chill, just math and meteorology.
Nice work on the poems! I’ll read them when I get off this mountain. I don’t mind you asking; I’m a writer too, and I know how much an audience matters. Can’t promise I’ll comment every time, but I‘m always happy to give them a read.

Edit: what do you see when you follow someone here? Like notifs or anything?
Depends on your individual settings. Some people get notifs every time someone they follow posts something, I personally see status updates but that’s about it.

Yep, I went through a phase.

How do I order the Liz stories? You mentioned they aren't really sequential, correct?
Dang bro locked in…
the Liz one’s definitely aren’t in order. Somewhere in here there’s a doc linked with most of them on it chronologically.

That's a lotta essays, good luck!
Also, my question was maybe a little vague... Did you get what I meant? We each give each other a few writing prompts?
Here are a few for you:
- Essay gone wrong (hopefully not for you!)
- Write about someone who travels a lot, perhaps running away from someone/something?
- Horror story that takes place in broad daylight. Involves a hat. (And/or a cat).
- Edit; added another: a story about someone lonely finding friendship.
- Edit the Second: a story based on the question "Why?"
Are those the types of prompts that would be useful to you? I can come up with some more if you want...and you can always save them for whenever you're free.
1 hour ago, Theory said:Also...I've started writing some stuff recently if you don't mind taking a look, the link is in my siggy. They're way shorter than yours - 100-300 words each.
P.S. would you mind if I compiled a list of all the stories on this thread and put them in a post here or something? Like with an index that links to each one, with the title and maybe genre(s)? I may not do get to it...but I wouldn't mind tbh. Not really busy.
Whichever prompts are great! I base a lot of my stories off song lyrics or specific things I’m feeling or watching others feel, but really anything can inspire. I’ll read your writing and give you a few prompts in a minute.
You’re definitely welcome to, just put the post in this thread. I don’t know how many people still read this (or haven’t read most of my work already), but I’ll warn you, there’s a lot here.

Ooh nice! Congrats!
Would you wanna...swap some prompts?
Sure, happy to. I can’t promise how much I’ll write, I’ve got about 5 more essays to write in the next couple days, but I’m happy to do something.
