Hi, I go by Ravin_Raven (or Raven Moonspark) on Wattpad! And I have two stories that I'm writing that involve curses as the central plot lines. Here's a list of curses I know of off the top of my head, but I am hoping you can help me with making more than these ones! So, if you can please help me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Cursed to: wear an object all the time and never take it off

To be turned to stone

To be corrupted by your own magic

Be turned into something inanimate

Be turned into an animal or beast

Trapped inside something (like a mirror or painting or locket)

Turned into an element (like being turned into some kind of essence, look up the Augur of Dunlain in Skyrim)

Unable to touch someone for fear of killing them

Unable to love because your love would kill either you or them

Turned into a demon

Possessed by a demon through a curse

Trapped someplace due to a curse (like can't leave a forest because of the curse, or like the guy in Pirates of the Caribbean who can't leave sea water)

Unable to use one of your senses

Can't talk (like Ariel in the Little Mermaid)

Your powers now hurt you when you use them, or someone you love

Your power is corrosive, and you're unable to use it without pain, but not using it hurts worse

Chronic pain curse

Unable to be in love because of a curse, like being cursed to not fall in love or keep your love

Cursed to never die

Cursed to die once you're found happiness

Cursed to die once you fall in love

Bad luck curse

Turned to ice curse

Snow and ice curse, like The White Witch in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

And finally, cursed to do something if someone tells you to

The whole fates-worse-than-death trope, which I love, cursed lovers, which I love, and twisted storytelling, which I also love.

But I'm running into a pickle here. Because while I've listed a bunch of curses on my alternate Tumblr page, I am struggling with GOOD AND TWISTED fates that are worse than death. All the lists I find have stupid and silly stuff on it. But I want something mega dark. Obviously, this is a fantasy setting, so anything goes.

Here, I will list some dark fates that fit in a fantasy setting. If you have any you'd like to add, feel free to comment! The darker, the better, just not too twisted! (You know what I mean....?)

Being corrupted by your own magic, and said magic is going to one day either kill you or someone you love.

Being turned into a beast or monster of some kind that cannot speak, as you slowly lose your humanity

Being turned to stone, but the process is slow and agony, and you're awake even in the stone stage, so you'd end up going insane

Growing up separated from everyone, living in a box room without windows, and being t0tured

Melting into an amalgamation beast, turned into something so horrific while you're aware of every single thing happening to you

Losing your control over your body, as someone essentially makes you their puppet, forcing you to harm someone you love

Having to isolate yourself for fear of your powers or magic harming those you love

Losing your humanity to a monster's curse, like turning into a wolf and losing yourself and all that you are because that beast is taking control over you.

Having to watch as your loved ones are hurt and there's absolutely nothing you can do

Being trapped, and your loved one is forced to keep your prison with them at all times. (Like say, you're trapped inside a locket and your lover has to wear that locket all the time now)

Chronic pain curse

The Dark Fates are Wonder Woman’s newest major foes, and while they’ve made their presence known in the past few issues, they are featured on the cover for WONDER WOMAN #85 (2020)!

It was the last Hogsmeade weekend before Christmas break as Severus Snape strode through the castle with a small smile on his face. There was a lightness in his step and a glow to his cheeks that was rarely seen, and not just because his mid-term exams had gone quite well (but he was surely chuffed about that too).

Although he’d taken the time to get to know most of the Slytherins in his year after he gave up on getting Lily to forgive him, he still wasn’t invited out much. That was why he was particularly excited as he stopped and waited just inside the entrance hall for Amycus Carrow, who had agreed to accompany him for a walk and a drink, and perhaps a chat. Severus pulled his heavy cloak tighter around his body, glancing out at the light snowfall just beyond the doors.

Personally, I am looking for something really dark and twisted in this vein to try and make a truly twisted story out of.

I think that maybe if I could write some down here, then maybe you could see what kinds of ideas I have, and maybe we could figure something out? I dunno. I'm just hoping that someone helps me with ideas for this.
