Trying to catch up on spells as flash fiction for #FlashFicFeb and couldn't think of any stories for Antimagic Field, and got realy held up on why Antilife Shell works Like That.

Also wrote Antipathy/Sympathy as an old myth.

Ralph, as in the British pronunciation like Ralph Fiennes.

Was spared a lot there I think.
Curious reading what people's parents almost called them. I don't think I ever asked my parents if they had any alternatives in mind, or what I'd have been called if I was a girl; I doubt they'd remember now.

Look good, feel bad, do violence, cry about it, repeat. Just like your day job.

Always here for the Sarah Zedig videos.
What Would A Better YouTube Look Like?

An extended thought exercise about how to improve the platform, from multiple algorithms and video versioning to democratic platform control and municipal server capacity.

Watch, comment, share with your friends, and try to imagine what feels impossible.

RT if someone claimed your work was “not commercially viable.”
Sony, the company that sold 'KPop Demon Hunters' for a song, has scrapped a Thai folklore-inspired feature from 'Amphibia' creator Matt Braly and 'Steven Universe' creator Rebecca Sugar two years into development, calling it “not commercial enough.”

D&D Spells as Flash Fiction - Animate Object

(multiple posts today as I'm catching up on missing one)

I really wanted to do another story about the existential ramifications of giving inanimate objects life and the capacity to understand language. Instead I did another heist scene.

#D&D Spells as Flash Fiction - Animate Dead

Oh to be a fly on the wall during a spirited debate on death and dying in a world where the dead can be animated. How, exactly, does a skeleton or zombie understand the languages it knew in life?

D&D Spells as Flash Fiction - Animal Shapes

The first thing I thought of when I read this spell as the scene in Oceans 8 where the thieves leave with their prizes in broad daylight.

I initially misread the spell and thought you could maybe use this to force goats or other beasts of burden to turn wheels for mills, etc. for a day at a time. Alas, communication via crab it is.
