A lonely, hopeless outcast with nothing left to lose seeks out a witch that is rumored to turn people into frogs on request for a shorter, peaceful life. Perhaps living as a frog would provide an escape from the troubles of life. Perhaps there actually is hope.

Every year her birthday is a hassle; she'd rather read or explore the castle grounds than suffer entertaining royal guests. But one year the young and lonely princess makes like-minded friends and together they uncover secrets about her lineage and dangers they aren't prepared for.

#WIPPIT #FBW
A board of images including a picture of a wall covered in ivy with a door hidden by the leaves, a small shot of lightning against dark clouds, a castle on a cliff by the sea, the silhouette of a father pressing his forehead against his baby in a loving and protective manner, a girl outside dressed as a princess with a wand and a miniature castle on a stool, a group of girls from behind watching the sunset over the Easter, an old book with a creased page on sand, typewriter text saying 'old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway', a small grayscale shot of birthday candles, and two knights standing guard on a cattle turret with a flag.

It's the onset of the robot uprising--destruction and chaos as they exact revenge and take control save for a small subset of humans, spared for the kindness they showed in the past. Those left behind find each other and learn to live in the newly emerging society of bots in charge.

Annalise never expected her music box to break; the antique from her grandmother that magically dispels her sadness when the music plays. She's all the more determined to fix it once he reflection starts talking to her. Without her coping mechanism, she's desperate to find a solution.

When the maid of a nobleman is fired for acting out, she steals what she can to sell and support her sick mother until she finds more work. She didn't expect that noble to come after her demanding a specific relic be returned nor is she prepared to be swept up in age old secrets tied to it.

Work at a particle accelerator is already interesting, but off the record, this complex is haunted. Email reminders go out about the wailing in the bathroom and 'hunting for ground faults' is literal. One new hire is determined to discover the true nature of their unique workplace.

Two vampires with a centuries -old grudge renew their hate for one another in the modern day over a reckless mortal human fighting for their affections. The game to win each other over is fraught with danger when two are immortal bloodsuckers, but that's exactly why it's so much fun too.

If anyone knows the best way to serve revenge, it's a scorned theater kid. When two couples break up within the department, they decide to team up and break the hearts of their former partners. Acting on the stage comes easy, so shouldn't it be the same for pretending to date?

#Cupit #FR
An image board made to look like polaroid photos spread around, includes a picture of students in chairs on a stage watching their classmate perform, a chalk drawing of a broken heart and white text over it 'Game over', a lit match on a dark background, a blue journal that says 'MY SECRET PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD' and text beneath the picture saying 'RUIN THEM' cut off by the picture on top, a person standing backstage alone, a woman walking a tightrope with a blue sky, people arguing with a pointed finger and hand held up defensively, a couple kissing with black scribbles over the faces and text at the bottom saying 'FAKE!', and a couple on stage with the red curtain halfway drawn and text beneath saying 'REVENGE'.

Dating in college is fun, and when a student finds a textbook full of romantic spells, she enjoys toying with hearts even more. That is until a stronger magic appears, wielded by a stranger clearly messing with her. Will she give up the book or hunt down her adversary between classes?

People experiencing alternate dimensions through dreams was only a theory, at first, but one of the subjects starts to notice the abstract bleed into reality as tests continue. She can't trust her own perception, but she knows something isn't right and that it has to change.

I just deleted a bunch of my canva templates by accident 😭 I believe most of the files are saved on my desktop but it's still heartbreaking. Guess I was working to cleanup files just, not like that, ah well 🤷 Have a puppy pic for reading my rambles 🫴

There's rumor that an old rural town has a beast that hunts down those struggling with addictions. When a group is attacked, they must work together to survive, learn more about the monsters, and find a way out, though, the road to recovery was never an easy path to choose.
