This is Bandit. Bandit is mad at me because I won't let him sleep in the trash can.
Far from a sign of ill discipline, infighting amongst threlekite men was encouraged by the matriarchy. They supplied blunt wooden sticks to male creches so Redatan toddlers could practice bashing one anothers’ brains out. Tharron had learned to fight long before he could speak.

“Porcelain?” sneered Wrunt. “Its all blotchy covered in lumps! Looks more like a porridge to me!”
“Shut up Wrunt!” snapped Aubrei on reflex, patting the elderly horse absently before wiping her hand on her tunic. She hesitated. "Actually, Porridge does suit it."

Before climbing into Alfred's grimy guest bed, Brandon arranged a pile of coat hangers in front of the door. If his employer tried to open it in the night they would fall and make a noise.
He dragged the bed itself under the window. Brandon was ready to jump out of it if he had to.

“I’ll have him eviscerated if your blessed mother will only sign the order,” Jackdaw boasted delightedly, “Gut him myself from crotch to collar!”
He mimed the action with his table knife, adding a savage twist at the end.

By the time they made camp, the summer storm showed no sign of easing. A gale roared across the wheat fields, catching the tent canvases as Ethan struggled to erect them. Cupcake, who had taken shelter beneath a large oak tree, sniffed accusingly at Brandon as though it was all his fault.

Ethan’s hesitation gave Tom time to get up, which ought to have meant death. Yet as the seconds ticked by and nothing happened, it dawned on Ethan that his former comrade wasn't keen on killing him either. They locked eyes and Tom’s beard twitched.

Most shocking AITA I have ever read! Her boyfriend replaced her coffee with decaf?!?
I'd replace his sugar with arsenic! 😡 What sort of monster messes with a girl's morning coffee?

Tom was a bread-and-butter man who wore crochet scarves and used words like “jiffy” and “kip." His wife sent him homemade lumpy mittens with every letter, and Tom refused to discard a single pair, even though he needed an extra pack just to carry them.
Ethan did not want to kill Tom.

As Brandon edged closer, the horse reared, with a deafening noise, showing the whites of its eyes.
He knew at once he was not going to be able to calm it down.

Mack froze, the comb forgotten in his rigid hand.
Slowly, Brandon turned. The ends of his hair, still caught in the teeth of Mack's comb, tugged loose one by one.
"A real dragon!" he gasped. "It's beautiful!"
Mack replied with the same noise cats make before hacking up a hairball.

Once a year, my cat eats a bee.
He crunches one up, furry face twisting as it plunges its vengeful stinger into his cheek.
By next spring he has forgotten bees are to be avoided, and gleefully gobbles up another.
It's astonishing how many people take the same approach to dating.

Happy holidays! Whether you're celebrating, spending time with friends & family, or having another normal day, I hope you're able to find some peace and joy and take a moment for a few deep, grounding breaths.
We've almost made it through 2025.

Everyone I know who grew out of poorness developed an extreme attitude to Christmas. Either monastic-level frugality or wild overcompensation. I honestly don't know a single one of us who acts normal at this time of year. 🤔

The ambassador held up his hand to silence Brandon. His golem was back with a goblet, into which it decanted a single drop of wine. Precisely as Alfred had instructed.
“You are trying my patience today,” Alfred hissed at it through clenched teeth.
