the majesty of your becoming.

if you ever feel stupid or weak or powerless, just remember that I, am not. And I am out there, very dangerous and I am looking for you. Good luck

hey I totally fucked up and forgot the 3rd type, which is “Is Not Anymore And Maybe Never Was” monsters “The thing which was no longer a deer and maybe never was” implies a creature that, at first glance, completely appears to be a deer, but over time degrades very slowly until you realize (probably too late) that it is not a deer anymore, and had you seen it in this state first, you wouldn’t have recognized it as a deer at all, and there’s a decent chance that it was never actually a deer to begin with but only a very good mimic, and what makes this one scary is the slow change from everything being right to everything being wrong, happening slowly enough that you don’t even notice it until its too late, as well as the fact that something now so clearly not a deer could have fooled you to begin with.

Yes this. Good analysis. 

This was horrifying to read while high and now I have an unhealthy fear of deer in general so thanks for that.

Another one: The thing that was not like a deer.

is there a single more in-depth characterisation question than “would this character say fuck”? is there anything that gets the core aspects of a character down as well as the question of if and how they say fuck?
