D66 Things Guards Say When You Pass A Stealth Check (Fantasy)
This is a D66 table which is too long to fit into the alt text. It's 36 different things a Guard might say when you pass a stealth check. Here's a selection, anyway: “Huh. Guess it must have been the wind.” “Blimey, the size of the size of the rats ‘round here!” “I must be tired.” “Don’t bother. This place makes all sorts of weird noises.” “You’re hearing things! You ought to lay off the whiskey.” “Guess it was nothing.” “I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.” “Go on, get out of here!” “I’m not checking it. You check it.” “Come on, who’d try to sneak in here?” “Ugh. I hate this job.” “Any more noises like that and I’ll be forced to stand up and take a look.” “I don’t feel like getting shanked in the ribs tonight. Just let it slide.” “What you mean, ‘strange noise?’ Sounds like a perfectly normal noise to me.” “My doctor said I’m not supposed to investigate mysterious sounds after 6pm.” *aimlessly whistles a sea shanty, and dreams of their true purpose: sailing the mighty ocean* “Ohhh, my aching back! I can barely stand up straight, let alone search for intruders!” “Geoffrey? Is that you? I’ve told you not to do the hiding thing any more. It’s dangerous.” “I think someone must have left a window open somewhere.” to themselves: “Don’t be scared. Shh. There’s no such thing as ghosts.” “Probably just a harmless drunk. They kip in here sometimes.” “Hey, your shift’s over! It’s my time to guard. Let me have this, Sylvia.” reading aloud, weeping: “Dear Erik. I am very sorry, but I must leave you. I’ve found a new lover. He wants to start a family. I can’t wait for your promotion any longer.” “No, no: my grandfather told me about a time he investigated a nearby disruption. I’m not going to make the same mistake.”

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻

Enter if you dare...🚪
A black background decorated with gold illustrations of branches, stars, swords, ravens, and tiny ghost shapes. In the centre, bold text reads: “BIRDS BUT THEY GET SPOOKIER EACH TIME.” Two ravens perch on bare branches at the bottom, with candles glowing beside them.

Doctor writes back, "Your finger is broken."

In 1521 the great artist Albrecht Dürer wasn't feeling so great, so he send a picture to hist physician with the text;
“Do wo der gelb fleck is und mit dem finger drawff dewt do is mir we” (Translation: There where the yellow spot is and the finger points, there it hurts me).

Gemini: Wrestling with your demons is usually a metaphor for boring things like developing effective coping strategies and discipline. Not today though. Today Satan is going to hit you with a folding chair.

I don't know that anyone but the people living with her knew how poorly Jen was, for her last five years, because (a) she went fewer and fewer places and (b) had complete control over what visuals of her got out.

Quiet reminder, as exhibit A in this theory, that you can’t tell a disabled person’s support needs from what they look like or their online presence.

Listen, if someone had warned me that John Wick 3 had Halle Berry in it, I wouldn't have bothered rewatching 1 and finally seeing 2.

CGI horses, I can forgive.

Driving to Marietta today I saw a driver's silhouette bobbing erratically, almost bird-y, turning back and forth, darting more. Afraid I was watching someone have an episode in front of me until the second time they leaned over to the passenger seat and a little silhouette leaned back.

Just returned a (digital) library book early and extremely unfinished for the line "I love eating. It's one of my favorite things."

Life's too short to suffer through tedious dialogue.

Don’t know who made this but thank you
Baudrillard’s 4 stages of simulacra applied to pumpkin spice Stage one (next to picture of pumpkin): Initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality Stage two (next to picture of pumpkin pie): the sign masks a basic reality. The image becomes a distortion of reality Stage three (next to Starbucks pumpkin spice latte): the sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists Stage four (next to jug of pumpkin spice flavored coffee mate): the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is it’s own pure simulacrum

I just had a dream I was supposed to snipe a Muppet but I didn't have a telescopic sight so I got a monocle and when I looked at the Muppet again they had put on a monocle too.

I missed.

COMIC: Unexpected Praise Break!
PANEL 1: FLACO, a green lizard, sits with his back against a rock, reading a book. ARTHUR, a yellow duck, bursts into the panel from the left, eyes wide. ARTHUR: UNEXPECTED PRAISE BREAK! PANEL 2: Close up on the two, FLACO looks perplexed, as ARTHUR showers compliments. ARTHUR: I am profoundly lucky that you are in my life. There’s not a single aspect of my day that’s not made better by your presence. PANEL 3: Close up on ARTHUR as he continues/ ARTHUR: The pains of this world — all the slow and sudden sadnesses — are made more tolerable because you exist. PANEL 4: ARTHUR leans over FLACO, who looks back, slightly perplexed/ ARTHUR: I leaugh more quickly, I cry more meaningfully, and I see more details in this amazing world…because i’m going through it with you, son o’mine. PANEL 5: ARTHUR stands tall as he finishes his compliments. FLACO looks stunned. ARTHUR: In every quantifiable way, my life is better because you’re here. PANEL 6: ARTHUR smiles at FLACO, who looks back, still holding his book. No text. PANEL 7: ARTHUR sprints out of frame, just his butt and leg showing as he runs away. FLACO looks over his shoulder as he goes. ARTHUR: UNEXPECTED PRAISE BREAK! …AWAY! PANEL 8: FLACO remains in the scene, still sitting holding his book. He looks into the deep distance, taking in what just happened. No text. PANEL 9: FLACO has put his book down, stands up proudly with his hands on his hips. Rays of light emanate from him as the compliments sink in. No text. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?
