Richard, long for Dick The Darkness of nothing was creeping into the first universe, a lot like the nothing always creeping under a child’s bed, except on a somewhat larger and less terrifying scale. Darkness with a capital D. But at least one being awaited the coming Dark. In an isolated corner, a displaced black hole was orbiting the edge of an odd galaxy. For a long time it’d been spinning out of control from the force of its own outrage. Because Richard, long for Dick, was furious at the goings-on in what the all-consuming Afreet considered to be its galaxy. Beings like this black hole shouldn’t be possible. Even so, in the senile dimensions of the multiverse, every oddity that can occur had already occurred. And the race of demi-gods was here to prove that fact.

Post by Keep Calm and Carrion How did "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" become the typical sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet and not "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" which is objectively a million times cooler.

Douglas Adams (author, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) I've come up with a set of rules that describes our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is formal and or ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Also, did you know to create a fictional world from scratch you have to start with creating the #multiverse? At least that's what I've been told... 😅
