Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.
The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.
So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.
In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.
I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!

update.
we went into a dungeon and within 15 minutes (in universe time) our bard died died in the first combat encounter. we decided not to leave them to make a new character and went to find druids who can use reincarnate and revive her.
we find some druids who are like "sure but you gotta give us the gold to cast the spell". we're poor so we go "got a side quest instead?". they're like "so there's some gnolls we need you to kill. bring us the gnoll leader's head".
so we go off to find the gnolls. we arrive and there are 9 gnolls + a gnoll boss. please keep in mind, we are a 2 person, fourth level party. i am a paladin with only 1 attack and 3 spell slots. this is not a balanced encounter.
we fight the gnolls anyways. i spend a significant amount of the encounter at 4 hp. we get the numbers down to 4 gnolls + the gnoll boss before i get downed the first time. our wizard knows cure wounds so i get back up and we get down to the gnoll boss + one last gnoll.
i'm downed (again) and start doing death saves. the gnoll boss is on 2 hp. our wizard casts toll the dead and it fails the wis save. he only does 1 damage. goddamn it.
i roll a nat 20 on death save and get up. i kill the gnoll boss. i am downed immediately after by the last gnoll.
our wizard goes around for a really long time trying to kill the gnoll. he is eventually downed. we do a really long back and forth with our dm trying to roll a nat 20 to get up again vs the gnoll trying to bite us while unconcious. our wizard fails his death saves and is dead dead.
our dm eventually takes pity and lets me get up to kill the last gnoll. hurray. i cut off the gnoll boss' head and drag it and our wizard's dead body back to the druids while covered in blood.
the druids use reincarnate on our wizard and bard so we're no longer an all human party :) however their age vs how they look is now f*cked up.
our bard who is 12 now looks like an adult drow. our wizard who is technically 14 (but is chronologically older b/c astral sea), is now an adult halfling which means he does kinda look his age?
anyways we're getting npc party members next session before heading back into the dungeon.
update on my dnd campaign. Our bard’s go to in social situations is to cast charm person. We went into the sewers and make a deal with a demon to get information. We’re banned from a bookstore. I pretended to be the voice of a statue to mess with our bard. Our wizard is trying to get money to be able to cast spells from the book we “borrowed” from the demon’s cult.

Well out of the blue I just remembered today the time I accidentally joined the cast of a production of The Princess Bride….in the middle of the production.

Due to their counterpart needing to speak out loud for Mc to hear them, they developed a habit of speaking out loud, so Mc encouraged them to learn an uncommon language (Ex: Icelandic) to communicate, not all of their talks should be overheard
~◇~◇~◇~
Their counterpart when they were a kid (before they realized that they were the same person) used to think of Mc as their older sibling
~◇~◇~◇~
Mc and their counterpart have their differences physically and mentally
~◇~◇~◇~

Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.
Tumblr media
And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”
I’m like, the fuck you mean??
So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.
Tumblr media
I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.
In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.
Tumblr media
Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.
Tumblr media
This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.

Everyone: Laios is a generic blond human fighter!
Laios: Learns healing magic, can sense the presence of undead when nobody else can, is constantly being contacted by a higher power.
Y'all, Laios isn't a generic fighter. He's a paladin.

Riko!MC being a literal adult who has to act like a child is so funny to me lmao
she's technically an adult chronologically (past life + current life years) but she died at 15-17 in her past life!

Most death related SCP's can sense that Mc is there, but only a few can actually see them, and even then, it's barely. 343 can not see them or relatively sense them, 343 can feel the eyes on him but not much else (some moments are better than others). No one can hear them though unless they can read lips
~◇~◇~◇~
Mc has to tell their counterpart what to write down or supply them with notebooks, so Mc can write it themselves
~◇~◇~◇~
During breaches, it's awkward if someone else is with them during the Breach (as always, but their counterpart can't actually talk to them) so it's more like "No no, do not go down there we tried that way 3 deaths ago", "Do not listen to him, in fact please get away from him, I will ditch you if you don't" (They were with a newbie during the breach), "Keep an eye on Bright (a few minutes later) I said keep an eye on Bright! You lost him!" "No don't pick up the amulet. We don't need our soul to be wonky... I don't care. just steal his key card already he's not using it!" "Man I wish I could kill people" "Why is 408 here? Is Kondraki on sight? Why were we not informed of this!" "I miss our old life even if it was boring, it was better than having to babysit Bright and Clef" "is 408 trying to land on me? Wait- can they see me!?" "To your right, yeah, no clue how you didn't see that"
~◇~◇~◇~
For the other doctors (Bright, Clef, literally anyone who meets them), they just see their co-worker space out at times, nod when no one said anything, mumble something to ¿someone? Ect
~◇~◇~◇~
Mc can float a few feet off the ground. And change their form (took a while to figure it out) to something more scary (how their body looked after a few days / when someone found their body (Asumming it took a while)) but they have no reason to unless they stumble across an Undead thing, or just to scare their counterpart for fun
~◇~◇~◇~
I have no clue what I should call Mc's counterpart other than Counterpart, and if I ever try to go into how people see the counterpart (which I probably won't... maybe) it's a bit weird (when I referred to the counterpart as 'their co-worker')
