here’s what you do:

be a half-elf. the skill versatility trait is similar to the bard’s starting skill proficiencies

play a warlock. again, similar starting proficiencies. charisma is your spellcasting ability. very bardy

your otherworldly patron is the great old one. or the archfey. except call them your “otherworldly muse” or “otherworldly patron of the arts”

pick spells on the bard spell list, such as minor illusion, mage hand, dissonant whispers, or Tasha’s hideous laughter

take the entertainer background. much bard. wow.

choose pact of the blade if you’re a valor bard or pact of the tome if you’re a lore bard. i recommend the latter. pick the vicious mockery cantrip (because bard), as well as guidance and resistance (to emulate bardic inspiration)

for eldritch invocations, take beguiling influence for more skill proficiencies and book of ancient secrets to ape the bard’s magical secrets feature

if you miss having expertise, splash in a level or six of rogue, perhaps at fifth level

look, I’m so sad about Tony dying. not because he started the MCU. not because he’s literally the man who made the MCU what it is. it’s because he’s gone through so much shit. he wanted to change Stark Industries from the weapons his father made to a company that helped people and got betrayed by Obidiah Stane. 

the world constantly pins his weapons on him and blames him for tragedies. in the Battle of New York, he literally brings up a fricking nuke into the sky and comes back with a fear of space and no one bats an eye that he’s dealing with PTSD and anxiety. 

in Iron Man 2 he’s still putting up a front of being Iron Man and being Tony Stark when deep down he’s just trying to cope with his mental illness and be a better person. his house gets ruined. 

by Iron Man 3 he almost loses Pepper. 

In Age of Ultron, he gets the blame for Ultron - no one, not a single soul listens to him when he talks about what’s “up there” and how to fend off what’s in space. he was trying to help everyone and yes, he fucked up but everyone treated it like it was all his fault. he was trying to prevent that nightmare that happened. and no one cares.

we get to Civil War and everyone treats him like a villain. even when we find out that Cap kept the secret of Bucky killing the Stark parents, people still paint Tony Stark as the villain. as if he hasn’t been living with the guilt of not telling his loved ones I Love You before it was too late. as if he hasn’t already been living with the pressure of being Howard Stark’s son. but yeah, it’s all Tony’s fault for the Sokovia Accords. he’s being a prick for trying to keep everything together. 

then we get to Homecoming and he’s just trying to break that cycle of shame and then he loses that. he loses Peter in Infinity War. the worst part about what happens in Infinity War as that his friends are dead, but he’s the only one left alive just like what Fury tells him in Age of Ultron.

the man has gone through enough. 

in Endgame, he’s stranded in space. his biggest fucking nightmare. he’s so drained of food, so skinny, so weak and he’s still fighting. he doesn’t even expect Pepper to understand what he’s doing. he’s so fucking altruistic - and that’s what kills him. when he gets pissy back on earth, everyone treats it like he’s just being angry and delusional. but no. he knew. Tony knew. he was fucking trying to tell EVERYONE. and no one listened.

he’s the embodiment of trying to deal with your demons and trying to help others. he’s amazing representation for people like me, who put up a front to the world but are battling some sort of struggle behind closed doors. it just sucks. it just fucking sucks that the only time he can “rest” is now that he’s dead. he can’t rest with his happy ending. he doesn’t get to rest, married to the love of his life. he doesn’t get to rest, watching his daughter grow. he doesn’t get to rest being a father figure to Peter Parker don’t even get me STARTED on that either. 

the world only knows the selflessness, the heart, the soul and the kindess of Tony Stark now that he’s dead. 

it’s not fair because he deserves better. he deserves his Happily Ever After. 

Tony Stark only got his Happily Ever After in death.

and it breaks my heart.

I am not a satanist so I can not provide in-depth knowledge but there are many branches/types of satanism. Here is the ones I know of.. I might get a few things wrong but as said before I don’t practice satanism.

The Church of Satan: The church of Satan belives in no deity except for that of yourself! You are your own god/goddess. You worship yourself in the form of self-love, self betterment, happiness, and pursuing knowledge. To name a few. This branch of satanism encourages sex, but sexual acts towards children or animals are considered sins. (This church was founded by the man who wrote the satanic bible)

The Satanic Temple: Above all this branch encourages benevolence and empathy as well as the embrace of common sense and justice. This group does not worship Satan as a deity but rather as a figure off rebellion. Recently you may have heard that the temple erected a statue of Baphomet on public property in Detroit because of the city building a statue of the 10 Commandments. They also held a “Pink Mass” at the funeral of Westboro Baptist Church Leader Fred Phelps’ mother. Gay couples were welcomed to the pink mass and encouraged to publicly display affection and wish for Phelps’ mother to be “gay in the afterlife.”

Luciferianism: Luciferians are most concerned with the pursuit of knowledge. They worship Lucifer (mostly as a symbol but some as a deity) rather than Satan. To them he embodies self-determination and liberation from the slave mentality. Luciferians’ main goal is to help people “take responsibility for their own life and act as an individual moral agent, using the full potential of their own genius and thereby optimizing possibilities.”

There’s a lot of writing advice on the internet, and a lot of writing prompts, but something I see relatively little of is an idea of how to actually practice. 

The thing about learning a skill is that it requires practice – but practicing will only get you so far if you’re just doing the same thing over and over. you might get better at doing that specific thing, but it can seem really difficult to get over a specific hurdle to accomplish some new thing you’ve never tried. I think a really common frustration is wanting to do a thing, and knowing what your end goal looks like, but not knowing actually how to accomplish it. 

So that’s where practicing specific skills can really help you to feel more comfortable with your abilities. 

Here are some skills exercises I recommend experimenting with to gain proficiency and comfort in writing things. 

—–

Write the Same Scene from Multiple POVs 

Write a scene in 3rd person POV. Then go back and rewrite it from scratch in 1st person. Repeat for a 3rd person omniscient. Go deeper than just swapping out pronouns. Think: How does this scene change if I’m writing through the eyes of a single character vs over their shoulder? How does this scene change if I’m narrating the events through Character B instead of Character A? 

—-

Write a Scene in Present Tense

Present tense bumps up the immediacy level of whatever you’re writing. I think it also helps to break you from more passive sentence constructions. Try taking a scene you’ve written and rewrite it in present tense. Combine it with the above – try switching a 3rd person past to 1st person present, or even try writing in 2nd person. 

—–

Try Mimicking Another Writer’s Style 

Sit down with a piece of writing from an author you enjoy, and pay attention to the writing itself. Ignore the plot and characters and story elements – look at just the nuts and bolts of vocabulary choices and sentence construction. Try to pick it apart. Is there a specific way the author tends to use commas? Certain words, or types of words, that they use more often? Longer sentences or shorter ones? Longer paragraphs or short? How is white space handled? 

Study that and make yourself a little cheat sheet if that’s helpful to you. Then try writing a short piece – just a couple paragraphs, even – in their writing style. 

—-

Describe an Entire Scene Without Using Visual Description 

Imagine you’re writing a blind character, if it helps, or someone who’s been blindfolded. Describe a whole scene built entirely around the way things sound, smell, taste, feel. Try to make it clear what’s happening through description alone. 

—–

Eliminate All Words like “Thought” or “Felt” 

Write in deep-3rd or 1st person without any filter words. Make a character’s opinions and emotions obvious through the way things are being described without explicitly saying what they’re thinking or feeling. If you struggle with this, it might be easier to start in first person – write as a diary entry or even a Tumblr post from that person’s perspective – and then try it in 3rd person after you’ve had a bit of practice. 

——-

Set Yourself a Specific Goal, and Write a Drabble to Achieve it 

When I wrote “Happy Ending,” my entire goal was to write something that was highly descriptive in the most viscerally gross way possible. When I wrote “Mothman,” it was an exercise in writing something sexualized without explicitly being sexual, in the most disturbing way possible. 

This is an exercise in word choice. It’s an excuse to bust out your thesaurus, not to sound fancy, but to nail a specific meaning. It’s also an exercise in choosing what details to focus on and which to exclude. 

One way to approach this exercise is to describe something common and mundane that you’ve experienced, and write it in several different ways. Let’s say, eating a sandwich. How can you make eating a sandwich sound sexy? How can you make it sound disgusting? Which details do you focus on, and which do you omit? What words do you use to evoke the meaning you’re looking for?

Beyond this, consider how these professions might vary depending on who the customers are - nobles, or lower class. Are they good at their job or just scraping by? Do they work with lots of other people or on their own? City or village?
