PSSST HEY KID, WANNA BUY SOME FANTASY ADVENTURE???

Only the finest memes from my story for #unhingedpit

#YA #A #F #W
a stick figure meme reading "the froggo, the witch, the audacity of this b-", showing a happy frogfolk, a smiling winged elf, and a sharp-toothed menacing man in a top hat a two-panel meme. The first shows a stick figure drawing of a peacefully smiling woman reaching in her cloak, captioned, "I'm a healer". In the second, above an all-caps "BUT", the woman tilts her head, still smiling, as she holds a photoshopped gun. A three-panel meme of a dog who doesn't want to give back a ball. A hate and red coat have been photoshopped on the dog. In the first panel, the dog hold the ball and wistfully asks, "Play deathgame?" In the second, as a hand reaches for the dog, it grows angry and says, "No! No survive!" In the third panel, the camera closes on the dog's angry face as it says, "Only play."

Cat: *attacks my ankles*

Me: "Ow! You know what also has problem cats? And rabbits, and gorillas? Well, just one gorilla, but he speaks sign language. And punches space poachers. Ow!"

Cat: *tears through the house*

Me: "The Book's called A SWIFT KICK TO THE THORAX. Ow."

What would a transcript of the Max Speed Fan Club chat group over cybernetic implant interface look like on the day teens were pulled into the war?

THE FORK IN THE ROAD:
Because who doesn't love a romance between a two-hundred-year-old mountain lion shifter and the pathetic bisexual elf lord she picked up from the ground? #Unhingedpit #F #A #SPEC #W

The vibe:
Tumblr meme by poundsofnothing reading "If this happened to me I think I would survive it" followed by the image of a biological textbook drawing of a mountain lion biting a person's skull

CONFIDENTIAL: The following notes for Nocturne Collegiate's Alyss Veylas & Bastian Nightingale were shared with me by their therapist, and the results are...rather unhinged.

#UnhingedPit #YA #Q #F #CrossoverAppeal
Confidential Alyss Veylas Risk level: UNPRECEDENTED Named her sword "Melancholy"—how emo can you get? Hobbies include robbing graves with her ex and his new girlfriend? Deals with grief by flirting with THE Bastian Nightingale Wields the power of the Memoria Moon...Could she be...? Why is she stabbing everything?! A Memory of Moonkissed Malice Kind of like... Harry Potter (if he listened to My Chemical Romance) Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" Love Interest like Patrick from "10 Things I Hate About You" Confidential Bastian Nightingale Risk level: UNPRECEDENTED Catchphrase: "I flaunt my sins proudly"—like that's a good thing... Tongue is sharper than his fangs Won't shut up about Alyss Veylas (literally obsessed) Hobbies include using his magick kamera and smoking blood cigarillos Did he steal my gold while he was here?

THE NIGHT OF THE TRIFFIDS x ALICE IN WONDERLAND

The girls catch their main suspect—except it doesn’t quite go as planned when he kinda gets eaten mid-interrogation

#UnhingedPit #MG #Q #H #MY
A painter is working on a piece of art in a beautiful garden, while a little Victorian girl, Adelaide, holds two paintbrushes menacingly. A governess and young gardener, Maggie, sit in the foreground. They’ve all come to confront the artist, who they believe is the cause of all the mysterious disappearance and deaths around Greer Manor. Adelaide: “I’ll make you pay!” *She rips the painting the artist was working on with his very own brushes* The artist: “Insolent Child!” Maggie: “Oh dear!” Now Maggie is standing next to Adelaide for moral support as the artist collapses to the ground after momentarily shouting in anger at his destroyed art. Artist: “NOW you’ve angered THEM!!” Both girls: “WHO?!” The artist subsequently goes hysterical. He rips up the lovely flowers and grass, then explodes his colorful paints and smears them across his face, all the while screaming, shrieking, and wriggling his noodle arms. Both girls: “He’s gone MAD!” After his insane fit, the artist collapses on the ground where his body seemingly disintegrates. Wrapped around his now empty clothes are thorny vines and shreds of lawn. Maggie: “He tore up ALL the grass.” Adelaide: “Maggie, he’s GONE!” The governess: “Girls, I don’t think those flowers belong.” Up behind the neat border of the flowers, looms three monstrous, toothy, beautifully deadly blooms that most certainly don’t belong in the garden. Did the artist REALLY disintegrate? Or did the flowers he was lovingly painting have a malicious part in his death? Thanks for partaking in the nonsense! 😂

Sh*t Janet needs to deal with:

- Four cult-driven murders (why are they all PTA moms?)
- Three friends (where the hell did Mags go?)
- Two love interests (Hank's gonna freakin' kill me)
- One killer playlist (summer of '86, ride or die... maybe both?)

Come to the countryside they said...

It would be good for your health they said...

Help you get over your wife's death they said...

Start over...

But I hear her whispering to me on the wind...just outside the window...
