I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

I love these. Also whoops on the name, I'm always bad with those.
Systins my beloved. Is it like a monkey's paw sorta deal or?
Imagine eating fibs like a Roman Emperor and going crazy from led poisoning.
The Skyrazers be giving me ultrakill vibes, like you would run around one in a level or something like that lol.
What sorta weird creatures exist in Dust to Dawn? Speeding up evolution is bound to produce something funny.
Renamed that to 'New Millennium'
Some funky critters n such ive conceptualized recently:
-Systins, mythological(?) creatures said to inhabit ancient technology and the Datasphere; they are said to grant unimaginable wishes, but only according to a set of varying nonsense rules (not spec bio realy but i wanted to mention it :3) -Fibs, a sort of asexually reproducing fig which is very sweet, because of the lead-based toxins it sequesters into its fruits (thus 'fib' bc the sweet is a lie)
-Skyrazers, living towers which walk across Medimaria (formerly 'North America'), on legs of rubble animated by synthetic muscle built by nanotechnology and micro-scale robotic self-repair units. The original walking tower was a type of experimental arcology which in the Doom sought resources to sustain its precious cargo, and so uprooted itself in search of water. It has since mitosis'd into several daughters
each god is also the patron of one of the setting's local city-states, and each city-state espouses their own version of the pantheon's org chart that positions their patron as King or Queen of the Gods. The gods themselves decline to weigh in on who's correct.
the god of war died in a bizarre trebuchet accident several decades previously; a coalition of other gods have been playing Weekend at Bernie's with their priesthood ever since, doing their best to answer their prayers with variable plausibility and success.
there are two separate gods of knowledge with two separate, non-overlapping cults. Each god's cult is apparently unaware of the other's existence. There's nothing obviously supernatural about this separation; they just never seem to bump into each other.
the supreme god of the Nice Pantheon of Goodness and Light and the supreme god of the Icky Pantheon of Evil and Darkness are clearly the same guy wearing two different hats. Most NPCs react to having this pointed out as though it's obviously absurd.
the obligatory Squiddy Alien Gods From Beyond The Stars are treated as just another branch of the pantheon alongside the usual faux-Greek deities. Nobody thinks it's at all odd that the god of thunder's sworn blood-sibling is a shapeless cloud of blazing eyes.
Charles's official portrait looking like he costs 7 mountains to summon and wipes the opponent's board when he enters the field:
Ngl this slaps, credit to the supreme monarchist where it's due I guess.
Yeah cringe culture is dead but you know who are actually genuinely really fucking embarrassing?
Neurotypical parents of autistic people who are shit at dealing with autistic people. Like they don't even have the self-awareness to be embarrassed about it, they'll just openly casually admit "yeah I have no idea why my child consistently keeps having the same reaction when I keep doing these same actions lol" like they don't know the definition of insanity or the idea that hurting people is bad.
Like ok learning the ropes of how autistic people work and function is probably strange and confusing to an nt person who has never encountered people on the spectrum, but how do you raise one without learning jack fucking shit??? And then admit that you're just as shit at it today as the day they were born. How do you have 20 years of experience in something and less skills than someone competent could learn in 20 days.
If there's one fucking group of people who can make me physically cringe when they talk, it's those people making cheery small talk about how they never bothered to learn how to not hurt their own child.
Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with
