    That's a sucky place to be. Sorry you're struggling that way! I've just been at the Life, The Universe, and Everything writing symposium in Utah, and one of the panelists talked about making lists of lots of things and combining them in random ways to get unique combinations. Maybe something like that could help? One thing I know for sure, though, is that you shouldn't get rid of anything you've already created. You never know when an old idea will take on new life! Good luck!

    Thanks, y'all!

    How do you spear stuff with a spoon? And why can't you eat soup with a fork? I mean, sure, you can only do half the process with the fork before you have to just pick up your bowl, but I feel like it still works...

    Mix Celebrant and Gorgrog together and you have something very much akin to Odium...

    I made a big breakthrough on my story! I'd been informed that my magic system didn't make sense, so I had to scrap it and design a new one, and then one morning I woke up and realized that a dragon and a unicorn would solve all my problems. So now I'm much less stuck than I was before, and it's making me very happy.

    Haha! I got you! If they're all in Irish, I then have a great excuse to go learn Irish! This boon has just been double-booned! Your wish is granted; however, Minecraft phantoms come and haunt you after three nights because they don't care whether you need the sleep or not. I wish for a set of Irish uileann pipes.

    Granted. You get a giant book full of all the secrets of the world--written in an obscure language from an alien planet. I wish for a book full of all the best Irish legends.

    What's even crazier is they'd probably eat all those "chickens" without hesitation, even though we (at least, in my area) would generally think of that as being a bit weird.

    Minecraft. How many bugs and glitches in that game have basically become features now? Sadly, the game has updated to the point where none of my family's (admittedly very old) computers can run it anymore, so I am limited to watching other people play it on YouTube until I have the money to buy myself a newer computer. What is your favorite way to take notes (whether in school or just for random ideas)?

    Malevolent.

    Purelake fish sushi. Poultry is good, but I eat chicken way more often than I eat sushi, and I assume that Aviar drumsticks would be relatively similar to chicken. WYR (spoilers for secret projects, though I don't know how necessary that is anymore)

    Eat it. Unless it's Mexican spicy chocolate. Then I'd give it to my sister. WWYDIYF an empty, yet whole, eggshell in your pocket?

    Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Fantastic film! Way funnier than I was expecting, particularly as I started playing D&D not long after watching it. In your opinion, what is the best game on Earth?

    No. (Sad sigh). I can, however, do a Spock impersonation in two ways: the live long and prosper hand-sign, and the ability to raise one eyebrow and not the other! TPBM can also do a Spock impersonation in two ways--though not necessarily the same two ways as my two ways. Edit: I'm not actually sure why wiggling ears got my brain thinking about Spock...

    TARDIGRADES!!!!! YES! There's someone else out there who likes them!!! (I hear there are plush tardigrades on Amazon somewhere...) I have nothing else to contribute to the discussion, please ignore me now.

    My preferred is either a fork or a spoon & eating knife combo. Fork, because you can eat anything with a fork, from salad to soup (after eating the solids out of the soup, you drink the broth) to ice cream. Spoon and eating knife combo, because that's how they did it in the Dark Ages, and I respect that. The knife served as both fork and cutting utensil, so actual forks were apparently pretty rare, and the spoon allowed for the consumption of puddings and stews. But if I were trapped on a desert island and could only choose one eating utensil in addition to any other survival supplies I was granted, I would choose a fork.

    Good point! Thanks! Is this better?

    I've started one of these before, but it wasn't really conducive to continued use, so I'm starting another, more general one that I should be able to keep using as time goes on. Thread economy, y'know? For my first use on this thread, I've got a bit of description that I'm unsure of. I don't know if it's clear enough to get a decent picture of what's going on without being boring and/or overly wordy. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

    I think they're cool! Also, "Paintlings" seems like a fine name to me. Reasonably logical and fairly descriptive of what it is, simple enough to be easy to read, pronounce, and remember, and unusual enough to be memorable. I like them both! Seems like they'd be fun companions to have on an adventure!

    I recently got (and read and finished, then started to reread) "Just Stab Me Now" from Jill Bearup. It's based on a YouTube shorts series she made, that all of us subscribers begged her to make a book of, and she did, and it fully lives up to my expectations. For a person who never intended to be an author, she sure wrote a great book! (Basically, it's a story about an author writing a romantasy novel, only her characters aren't doing any of the things she wants and keep ruining her tropes. Lots of meta action as the author keeps breaking into the characters' lives to tell them off for misbehaving. )

    Wonder what it was. WWYDIYF a miniature elephant in your pocket (specifically a live miniature elephant, not a toy one)?
  22. Ookla
    NO. I may be good at it, but no. I do not like math. TPBM likes to wear hats.
  23. Ookla
    Hah! Not a chance. TPBM knows at least 3 different ways to cook a chicken.
  24. Ookla
    Yes. I still have a teddy bear from when I was tiny that I love, and while I don't really sleep with any of my stuffed animals anymore, he is my perennial favorite. TPBM routinely stays up too late.

    My big toes tie for first--I'm an Irish dancer, and we use 'em a lot. To be fair, though, I wouldn't want to lose any of my toes, because I need the other eight for stability when I'm dancing. Edit: What the heck? How do I keep missing the last page of the thread?! Aaack! In regards to the chocolate question I was supposed to answer, I like all three a lot, but dark chocolate is the one I go for most often. What is your favorite drink for chilly weather? If you don't live somewhere where it gets cold, what is your favorite drink for hot weather? 2nd Edit: I also think it's hilarious that the folks who created this last page of the thread went the exact same direction I did with the drinks...
