Gather mortals, to see mine trinkets

the sewing machine is like if a horse and an inkjet printer had a child

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

We've had gacha RPGs about libraries and pharmaceutical companies as paramilitary organisations – I feel like the next obvious unexplored frontier is public transit. The player takes on the role of a route planning director for a puzzlingly well armed quasi-governmental transit agency. All of your agents have bus driver aesthetic.

You'd think providing free public transit would be a no brainer in terms of maintaining good relations with existing nation-states, but in practice a lot of them hate you because you provide bus service to places people aren't supposed to be able to leave. There's a whole quest line about keeping Route 666 to Hell up and running.

That route must cost a lot in road maintenance since you have to repave it using good intentions instead of asphalt.

You're working for an organisation that's willing to fight demons to keep a bus route open. Good intentions are not in short supply!

#wouldnt it be awful if the kids number 1 rule was dont involve bruce so even after red hood rejoined the family jason did not#bcause how do you explain that. and how does jason explain who he is now to a dad he doesnt blame in this au.#and bruce with his sleeper detective skills figures it out and it kills him. his son. his child is alive. and doesnt want bruce to know#so what can bruce do. if he dives into this he has to contend with all the rest. that his children are out there every night#doing great and terrible things and he feels powerless#what if jason is angry at bruce. for letting him die. and if he knows bruce knows what if he leaves gotham again.#at least. at least he knows where the kids are. or how to find them in the news. knows why theyre bruised...#i just had a thought. bruce wayne is not batman. he might be matches malone tho.
