This is the best thing that could have come out of that.

The words you're looking for are "consensual boundaries". So you can still vent to your friends but only if they consent to being vented to.

The Word

All at once, at an uncertain time, on an uncertain day, when no one quite knew what was going on, some people, no one knows how many, started to hear a word. They could not speak it, though they tried. It was as if their mouths became mute to that word alone. They tried to write it, for they were desperate to share, but they found no lettering in any language that conveyed it accurately. Some, those who could, attempted drawing it, painting it, dancing it, singing it, and even sculpting it, but all failed. The Word defied depiction.

It is noiseless, thoughtless, depthless, ceaseless, beginning less, touchless, all encompassing, tasteless, seen, unseen, start, end, nothing, everything, kindness, unkindness, life, death, all of these things, and none of these things. The word defied definition.

A few attempted to live the word through their actions. Some were kind to their fellow man. Giving away all that they had and more, working tirelessly to improve the lives of those around them. They built community, they built love, they built prosperity, and they built peace. Brick by brick, through the corroborative efforts of many people they built a home for all. Again, the word defied depiction.

Some attempted to violently carve the word into the flesh of those around them. Performing disturbing surgeries and mutilations on any they could. They killed, they brutalized, they broke people down, they built monsters from their flesh, and they baptized the world in blood. The word defied depiction.

The word has still never been shared to anyone other than those who heard it, on that uncertain day, at that uncertain time, and it never will be. They will all die with this secret, in utter agony at the thought that The Word dies with them.

No one will ever hear The Word again.

Imagine a game like spore but you start out in a truly completely empty universe. Nothing but stars and planets. So instead of starting out with panspermia, on your first planet, in your first playthrough you have to play this "chemical stage" to decide the kind of stuff your planet's life will be made of. Then on other planets after that you can choose to do it again to make a completely different life or populate this planet via panspermia using life forms from your first world to see how you can get different things from the same ingredients.

So as you play and replay you can slowly fill up the universe. And maybe you can also have a simulation mode to just let things progress a little ways without you messing with it to see how things progress.

And as you keep playing it can get progressively harder to start life from scratch because now panspermia events happen so often (a toggle able feature) that every planet becomes increasingly competitive as time goes on.

Just an idea.

Okay, here is my overly thought out and totally not controversial Avatar head cannon.

Every bending type has a pure form: flight, metal bending, blood bending, and dragon's fire ( I will explain). Dragon's Fire is the only one I kind of made up myself because the show doesn't explicitly give anything for this. Essentially it is super hot fire bending with a new color. Azula's blue fire and the Dragon's rainbow fire.

Also, every bending type has three mixed forms. Not saying these forms are acquired by bloodline. They can be trained but it will be easier if it better aligns with your personality.

Air + Fire = a very excitable air bender with a big personality and the ability to heat up air as they bend it. Think of a living air fryer.

Air + Water = a very chill air bender. They are super relaxed and go with any flow. Their bending is incredibly fluid and they can even lower the temperature of air enough to freeze things.

Air + Earth = an incredible firm and steadfast air bender. Instead of dodging they will mostly use their bending to deflect or push through attacks. Through much practice they have learned incredible precision and can even solve complex puzzles only using their bending.

Fire + Air = combustion bending. This combines the deeply focused spirituality of the air nomad lifestyle with fire bending abilities. Focusing all of the fire energy through the forehead to project a combustible force.

Fire + Water = Lightning. Iroh explains this one. It is all about the flow of energy.

Fire + Earth = much like the air variant this affects the bending in subtler ways. But over all this style is more about reacting to your opponent "watching and waiting". These benders also tend to be blacksmiths and have an ability to summon heat from their metal so they can keep working on it without a forge

Earth + Fire = lava bending.

Earth + Water = mud bending. (In my head cannon nearly half of the foggy swamp benders are actually Earth benders but no one can tell because there is practically no non muddy water in the whole swamp.)

Earth + Air = sand bending.

Water + Air = fog bending + extra flowy water bending in general.

Water + Fire = boiling water bending. Bender is usually hot tempered and not as good at making ice.

Water + Earth = mud bending again but also stronger ice bending techniques.

This is a head cannon and I will not be excepting critique as of this time.

My little brother & I showed an AI 50+ hours of Scooby-Doo scripts, and then asked it to write an episode.

Here’s what it came up with.

I’ve cleaned bits up as best I can to bring the coherence level from “utterly incomprehensible” to just “insane, but almost readable.”

…soooo, yeah.

Daphne wants to hear the phantom’s ham price.

Now, when it gets more creative on the words…

…it’s… interesting.

And at its most-creative-est…

…I’m pretty sure I’m losing my mind.

That said, my most-favorite so far is this little exchange…

…where there’s a character called “Gate,” Scooby makes up new words, and Fred anticipates the deaths of thousands.

somehow i doubt this script will get its own film any time soon

Hi dads. How was your vacation?

You were happy with getting an A+ on your “vampire myths” essay, with a comment about how you did excellent research, but you thought that was the end of it. A few days later, though, you open your door to find a vampire and a vampire hunter on your porch.
