"If you join the Dark Army we let you push the button that releases the alligators." "Yaaaaaaay!"

As many a dwarf has discovered, gaining a few inches of additional height has a severely intoxicating effect upon the mind. Passing lumberjacks have reported raving dwarves declaring sovereignty over nearby capybara, demanding only their new vassals serve their needs. Stepladders: Not even once.

Quiet as a dream and graceful in its natural habitat, the crocodile raises its snout and snuffs at the air, sensing prey. Blending calmly into its surroundings, it drifts toward the scent.Nearing its target, it snaps violently—success!—and skips merrily to the checkout lane with a rotisserie chicken

The pluot is a perfect fruit. A blasphemously delicious fusion of an apricot with a plum, the pluot transcends lesser produce with its thin wine-dark skin, luxuriously juicy sanguine flesh & a flavor that can only be described as 'the platonic ideal of red', as imagined by school children everywhere

Rules for Poetry: Its lock is a nesting bird Its Gate? Fey mirage Near 'correct' and 'incorrect' hawthorn thrives—our pact bound here— Woven from owned bones #poetry #haiku #tanka

I uncoil my muscles and stretch luxuriously into the grass, raking my claws through the dirt and delighting in the accumulated sensations and aches of a day spent in focused practice. Collapsing onto my flanks, I nuzzle into the soft blades and just lie, reveling in the sensation of earned weakness.

Tense muscles and raw paws sing high over the ground with the physical stress of a long day. Clinging to precarious edges and meticulously feeling out the friction and angles to gracefully flow from handhold to ledge, only the desperate quiver of abused muscles can tear me away from my vertical home

Additionally, though commonly known, whispering to fan exhaust encouraging statements such as 'You're doing great with those spreadsheets' or 'I believe in your rendering capabilities' have been known to unfreeze hangs and increase framerates up to 30%. Sometimes the RAM is lonely and needs a boost.

When your computer beeps unexpectedly, be sure to give it a little kiss on the monitor, or pet the flanks of its case. An unusual beep is a classic sign of silicon-based distress, and prolonged existence without reassurance can easily lead to null point errors & mutation. If they're sad, you're sad.

Far from the dangeous endeavor some demons describe, a gummy worm can be created by simply spilling a drop of your own blood into a pile of sugar and gelatin before vigorously mixing. In one week, your new friend will be bouncing around, fully capable of propagation and writhing in joy when bitten.

We installed a simple device that conveys sound from underwater to above ground, and vice versa. Now the wolves gather at the shore to howl to the whales, and the whales sing back to the wolves

You have it so good Hollow words proclaim, coerce We perceive embers Choking the dry horizon And dance across brittle ice

Last flame of dusk stills Calm chill devours humid heat In darkness, boughs sway Pulsing lights in trees discuss Conversations beyond ken

Liver is famously good for you; however, due to improper cooking and misunderstanding of its nutritional content, it is often reviled by the misinformed. Common cooking renders it inedible—for flavor and nutrition, it should be devoured fresh on the altar, and its vitamins imbue retroactive in time.

Ah wordlice; those insidious, semi-corporeal vermin that lurk in the damp, rotting apocrypha of dead and dying languages and which only rarely seek to feed upon our still-living definitions, nibbling instead at the connective tissue of connotation, and breeding within the stagnant pools of ambiguity

Now and again, when the full moon is high in the sky and the seasons are in flux, the Hi-Chew goop is known to come alive.These special batches feed into unique extruders that press them into sweet, exciting shapes, and when they walk out of the candy factory they choose their own confectionary fate

There is a bird that seeks to sing. It fills the air with a rich, bright tone all its own, and endlessly iterates magnificent new melodies. Ultimately, it desires to harmonize in a grand chorus, its voice magnified with social depth. It unerringly practices alone with a hopeful, jaded diligence.

You speak of dreams and nightmares in tones of wonder and terror, yet never with curiosity for the method they use to locate you? Great astral rays shall continue to sail the collective unconscious with hopes and horrors dusting their great flowing wings, ever seeking a fertile garden to seed.

I have repaired the worm. I have repaired the worm in the kintsugi style. There is gold between its dismantled selves—gold flesh, as soft as the moist soil-sprites. It lives again, and it is whole

Don't go to sleep. It's nightmare migration season. Clouds of them will be soaring through mindspace tonight; they will blacken your brain with their roosting

To the unchanging gods, everything impermanent is soft. The whole material world is like a blanket fort: and they nestle in the great stone caverns, inside engine cylinders, and in the spaces between eyes and brains

Brainrot forms the cavities in which braincritters and brainsongbirds nest; it is through brainrot that a head becomes a home

When she smiles, her expressive feathers flip to their iridescent side, and her face becomes a bowl of molten colors, rippling blue and gold

Icy winter wind Crows careen in frozen sky Proclaiming fierce joy Snow-choked gusts uplift proud wings Ever seeking hidden spring

Contrary to popular belief, murky pools that can spread their stagnancy like creeping infection are not in fact cursed, but composed of L-chiral water. Despite the molecule being identical in form, it is functionally alien and both body and tongue can detect the wrongness of this fluid doppelganger

Hypnosis is the truffle of service dominance; the siren's song of your own desires—that sweet, soft music locked shyly away. Secrets sold in hopeful confidence; secrets toyed with in predatory affection; secrets used to tease in new and exciting ways with safety always comfortingly within reach...

An amusing small finding: an extinct crocodilian known as "necrosuchus," meaning "dead crocodile," got this name because someone asked the paleontologists if it was dead while they were collecting the fossil, and they found this funny enough to immortalize: digitallibrary.amnh.org/items/eef9a4...

Bestiary writers from Pliny on through DaVinci wrote of the legendary battles between elephants and dragons; two titanic beasts, evenly matched, their corpses found entangled throughout Africa and Asia. We can presume the surviving species of Proboscidea... www.greaterrealityarea.net/an-elephant-...

Faint music haunts this Seat of pandemonium Lost in deepest blue

Beware the misted valley bereft of running water. Beneath clouded white, unknown dangers lurk, hidden from the watchful eyes of the world. Those who trespass in the dense, forbidden clouds had best tread lightly and prepare to drop prostrate before the minor dieties that lie in long repose.

Lil sculpey guy I made

Thinking about MUDs and the silly things you can do. Kinda want to write a whole cool area and tie the entry keywords to my character description, so you can Be Devoured Into Them, or as a slime be absorbed and need to navigate their internal ecosystem, or be glamoured into a surreal fey dream...

Smh corporations always trying to get around environmental regulations. Have you thought about the fish your colony survives on, Urist?

Some people hold unrealistic fears of cities, but all terrors hold a grain of truth. In the ages before all towns were charted and known, blocks of elaborate urban sprawl could develop overnight with vague figures beckoning within businesses. However, their motions were stilted and greetings hollow.

In every city, there lies one street where they appear. Deep in the night, in the moments between one hour and the next, looming cafaleque figures stalk with predatory intent. Those souls caught in tension between purposes should never peer too closely, lest they be accepted among their sinewy forms

In darkness, chords are struck. Slow, melancholic notes of sound echoing from the roof of the building. As dawn begins to paint vibrant rose-gold bands over the horizon, the slow music begins to change into a hopeful salute to the rising sun. Moments later, the dawn breaks in the musician's grin.
