Some of the biggest fantasy worldbuilding fails that I see, in no particular order

I'd actually push back on the first one. There's an argument to be made that in a world WITH clear, obvious gods, "religion" as a concept would be sort of...unnecessary?

Like a big part of the power of Christianity is that the church holds a monopoly on talking to god. "He's there, trust us. But he only listens to us. Give us your money, and we'll put in a good word for you."

Why would you have priests if anyone can talk to god? Why would anyone give money to build churches if god is just someone who's around, who hangs out?

Now granted, you could have a very different form of "religion" in such a world. That depends if the gods have beliefs they espouse and require their devotees to follow. It also depends on if the gods care about devotees! Maybe they're just...there. They do what they want, and people try to stay out of their way.

At that point they're more like superheroes. You're just a simple cloth merchant in the city of Brinhollow on an average afternoon, and then suddenly there's an explosion in the air above you and you look up to see Juruxon the god of Spite dueling in the sky with Erabel the goddess of dawn. You cower under a doorway and wait for the fight to stop. Neither of them ever sees or acknowledges you.

Is there religion in a world like that? Did anyone build a church around Spider-man?

this is actually the gayest fucking photo i have ever seen of britt so far and thats saying A LOT. like i am STILL thinking about it don’t piss me off wtf is this

getting a note on a super old post

reblog to slap op with some paper in the wind

A little of column A, a little of column B honestly? Like drumline for sure are the horniest of horny band kids im my experience. Clarinets have usually never heard of sex in their entire lives. Trumpets though; those weirdos are hard to pin down. Trombones like to pretend to be horny mcsexman, but I don’t recall a single one getting laid in my entire career

We won’t talk about saxophones. I played saxophone. Our whole section is just… just a little wrong, man.

what like some omegaverse stuff?

Eh. More like the kinksters who hide it so well you don’t believe it until you see one of them in a puppy mask and latex body suit walking down the street on a leash. Like. We’re the real morally depraved ones. I remember a conversation about how many people could feasibly be involved in an orgy on the bus before the director noticed. Out loud. Three seats away from aforementioned director. My entire section was just like nodding along and chiming in. The tenor sax guy was like “well, if everyone bit down on their feather (the plume fluffy thing on band hats) nobody would moan loud enough to be heard over the road noise” which was the only point at which the director chimed in with a carefully neutral “don’t get saliva on those things I hate cleaning them.” That was the tamest conversation we had on that bus.

Like, during band camp, while everyone else was laying in the AC dying of heat stroke, my entire section would go down to the creek, strip half naked, and tally what everyone had gotten up to that summer, and by what everyone had gotten up to that summer I mean who fucked who and how. Usually with a joint or a bottle of liquor to pass around because the only way any of us were getting through the second half of the day was to be a little high and a lot looser in our own bodies.

so like some omegaverse stuff

Okay so the amount of reblogs/tags that all say the exact same thing lead me to believe this is true

not very new hyperfixation rediscovered write a poem abt it

holy shit, more of this please

"when i was your age, i was working three jobs to help support my family" and "when i was in college i was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living off of soup"

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THIS ISN'T A CHARACTER-BUILDING LESSON, IT'S JUST BAD

When someone says stuff like this, I really enjoy looking them dead in the eye and saying “I’m so sorry you had to do that. It sounds really hard and I wish I’d been there to help.” Completely takes the wind outta their sails.

People asking why the severed marching band didn’t care their drum major got locked in a bathroom — have you ever BEEN in a marching band??

“Keep playing” is the TOP PRIORITY. People have thrown up and no one blinks. People have passed out on the field from exhaustion and heat and we just step over them. The bottom half of one girl’s instrument FELL OFF DURING A COMPETITION and not one of us even twitched. An. Eyelid.

Milchick trapped in a bathroom behind a vending machine by two random fellow innies, him furiously banging on the door as they plead for help? Not C&M’s problem, boo. They gotta keep pointing those toes and lifting those heels. It’s what he would have wanted

I love this explanation, which also reinforces my absolute terror of marching band kids. They're eldritch, somehow.

And strong!!

Oh no doubt the weakest among them could rag doll me.

My mom was a band kid. She once told me the story how she scared a football player into moving who was on the field warming up while she was playing because he was where she needed to be and she was quite willing to run him over to get to her spot. Don't mess with band kids while they're doing a routine, man. They will mow you down. They do not care. Us theater kids are TAME compared to them. XD

Theater kids: ineffable and horny like elves.

Band kids: unstoppable and horny like hobbits.

(are they horny? I don't actually know this)

severance brain rot text post memes. i will be making more of these
