Random Hero x Villain prompts: stairs
(The game: this site gives me a random word and I turn it into H/V prompts. You’re welcome to play, to add your own or to use them to write a snippet, just tag me or something if you do.)
The word is: stairs
Villain’s evil lair is a tower. If an unwanted guest tries to climb the stairs, the steps disappear and the intruder glides down - or falls to their death.
Hero is trapped in Villain’s prison. Bound and blindfolded, all they can do is hear Villain’s steps getting closer and closer as they climb down the stairs.
Hero is trapped in Villain’s prison. Bound and blindfolded, all they can do is hear steps getting closer and closer as someone climb down the stairs. However, this time they hear their team's voices.
Hero has the power to conjure up stairs wherever they want. Sure, it’s not as impressive as flying or jumping very high, but it has its perks.
For Superhero, villains are not a problem. No, their real nemesis is the agency’s stairs, because they use a wheelchair or a cane.
“I will never join your side!” “Really? I’ll have you know we have accommodations for all kind of disabilities in our evil lair, including elevators. You’ll never have to use the stairs again.” “...I’m listening.”
A small hero/villain can finally look Superhero/Supervillain in the eye thanks to the stairs. Or they loom over them from the top for the first time, like a monarch from their throne.
Buddies with a big height difference can finally hug with their heads on the same level.
The oracle that has predicted a catastrophic event must be contacted ASAP. Unfortunately, Hero has hundreds of steps to climb before reaching their room.
Villain/Hero got injured during a fight. It’s up to their henchman/sidekick to carry them through the stairs.
Detective is infiltrating the evil lair and is hiding behind the steps, praying they won’t get caught.
Hero discovers that a so-called hero works with Villain, but the mole catches them snooping around. “Oops! Sorry Hero, I can’t let you get away now that you know.” Hero gets thrown off the stairs. Everyone thinks it’s an accident.

Don't forget about the Palestinians.
Don't forget about them now.
Don't forget about them tomorrow.
Don't forget about them in a week from now.
Don't forget about them in a month.
Don't forget them next year.
Don't forget them in 5 years.
When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.
When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.
When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.
Don't forget about what we've seen.
Don't forget about what we've heard.
Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.
Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

Outranked by a Chihuahua who's not even on the team yet 😂
Chihuahua Of Doom
Villain: Ah, my loyal right-hand, what do you have to report?
Right-Hand: Well, boss, it seems our henchmen have stumbled upon a rather unusual obstacle while trying to infiltrate the superhero's lair.
Villain: Unusual obstacle? Pray, do tell, what did they encounter?
Right-Hand: Apparently, they were thwarted by a very angry guard dog, sir. A Chihuahua, to be precise.
Villain: (Laughs) A Chihuahua? Those tiny terrors strike fear into the hearts of our henchmen?
Henchman 1: Boss, you should've seen it! That little critter had teeth like razor blades! It even chased me up a tree!
Henchman 2: Yeah, and it had this ferocious bark that made my eardrums shiver! I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes!
Villain: (Chuckles) How delightful! Perhaps we should recruit that mighty Chihuahua into our ranks. No hero will stand a chance against such a fearsome foe.
Scientist: Sir, I'm afraid that might not be the most strategic move. Chihuahuas, though adorable, might lack the physical prowess required for our evil endeavors.
Villain: Nonsense! We shall outfit it with a tiny jetpack and train it in the art of canine combat. The world will tremble before the "Chihuahua of Doom"!
Right-Hand: Brilliant, boss! We'll conquer the world one ankle bite at a time!
Henchman 3: (Whispering to Henchman 4) Did you ever think our lives would come to this? Being outranked by a Chihuahua?
Henchman 4: (Chuckles) Well, it's certainly a change of pace. Who knows, maybe it's the start of a new era in villainy—where tiny dogs reign supreme!
Villain: (Laughs maniacally) Indeed, my loyal minions! We shall unleash the power of the Chihuahua upon the world and bring them to their knees! But first, someone fetch me a doggy treat. All this evil planning has made me hungry.
Scientist: Of course, sir. I'll get right on that. But might I suggest we also consider recruiting a Shih Tzu or a Pomeranian? Variety is the spice of villainy, after all.
Villain: Excellent idea! Let's assemble the world's most formidable pack of adorable destruction! Onward, my minions, to the pet store!

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:
You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.
These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

How To (Realistically) Make A Habit Of Writing
To clarify: Works with my autism. WORKS WITH MY AUTISM!!! I’ve been meeting my goals since I made them my New Year’s resolution! Anyway I’m so sick of all those ‘how to’ guides that don’t actually tell you what the process is they’re just like ‘just do it, but don’t burn yourself out, do what’s best for you!’ because you’re not telling me what I’m not supposed to be burning myself out over but okay, so I made my own. Hope this helps
1. Choose your fighter metric. What works better for you as a measurement of your progress; time spent writing or your word count? Personally I get very motivated and encouraged by seeing my word count go up and making a note of where it should be when I’m done, so I measure by that. At the same time, a lot of people are also very discouraged by their word count and it can negatively impact their motivation to write, and in that case you may be better off working from how much time you spend writing rather than where the word count is
2. Choose your starter PokĂŠmon time frame. How often can you write before it starts to feel like a chore or a burden rather than something fun you look forward to? Many people believe that they have to write daily, but for some people this can do more harm than good. Maybe every two or three days? Weekly? Figure out what fits your schedule and go with it
3. Choose your funny third joke goal. Now that you’ve got your chosen time frame to complete your goal in, what’s a reasonable goal to aim to complete within that time frame based on the metric you chose? If your metric is your word count, how much can you reasonably and consistently write within your chosen time frame? If your metric is time spent writing, how much time can you reasonably and consistently spend writing within that time? Maybe 1000 words per week works, or maybe 10 minutes per day? The goal here is to find something that works for you and your own schedule without burning you out
4. Trial and error. Experiment with your new target and adapt it accordingly. Most people can’t consistently write 1667 words per day like you do in NaNoWriMo, so we want to avoid that and aim somewhere more reasonable. If you feel like it’s too much to do in such a short time frame, either give yourself less to do or more time to do it in. If you find yourself begrudgingly writing so often that it constantly feels more like a chore than something fun, maybe consider adapting things. And if you think that you gave yourself too much wiggle room and you could do more than this consistently, give yourself more of a challenge. Everything needs to suit you and your pace and needs
5. Run your own race. Don’t feel like you’re not accomplishing enough in comparison to others or not working fast enough to satisfy some arbitrary feeling of doubt. Everybody works at their own pace and slower work doesn’t mean worse work. You could be on one word per day and you’ll still see consistent results, which is still one word per day more than you could originally count on. All progress is progress, regardless of its speed

[...] But the students at the heart of the movement say the reason they began their demonstrations – the pressing need to end Israel’s deadly bombardment of Gaza – risks being lost amid a cacophony of voices and distractions.
“Gaza is why we’re here. Gaza is why we’re doing this,” said Rue, a student at The New School in New York City who asked to only be identified by her first name due to a fear of reprisals. [...]
“As students who are being taught in class about colonialism, about Indigenous rights, about the effect of non-violent protest across history, it would be extremely hypocritical — or it would totally undermine the point of our education — if we didn’t act,” the 25-year-old said.
“At the very least we can show that there was resistance” to what is happening in the Gaza Strip, the student added.
“The horrors in Gaza are really beyond imagining. These small acts of resistance, these are small sacrifices — [they] are nothing compared to what is happening on the ground in Palestine.” [...]

Villain Investment Pitches 
Imagine that there is a tv show for aspiring super villains where they get to go in front a panel of judges (maybe a panel of some of the most notorious criminal masterminds?) and pitch their evil inventions and villainous schemes. The judges hear the ideas and then decide which evil plan or invention they will fund. 
You can either tell a story about this scenario or pitch an evil invention or plan from the perspective of one of these aspiring villains.

do you have any tips for getting words down bc boy howdy i could use. some tips. shjdksdj
Hmm, I have a few different strategies!
1) If you have an idea and just want to get it on paper, write the most rudimentary version possible, basically jot notes. Sometimes actually writing it can seem intimidating, so litterally just "person A gets upset. B apologizes. Person A feels guilty for getting so angry and B reassures it's alright,"
Sometimes this "bone structure" method is also great for if your stuck on a scene, or dont have the brain power to be detailed, or whatever lack of motivation you have, because once you get the basic strokes, you can slowly add meat to the bones, just going over it a couple times and adding more detail with each pass.
2) use technology! You have it at your fingertips, use it! Sometimes I litterally feel too sluggish to lift my fingers to physically type, that's where swipe to text, predictive text and text to speech come in handy! So what if theres a bunch of errors? You can go back and edit it later! The name of the game right now is to just get it down, so speak outloud and let your phone do the typing for you!
3) Bribe yourself! Theres no shame in telling yourself that, for every sentence you write, you earn a gummy bear. Or something similar! But make sure this bribe method dosent turn into punishing yourself, make the goals very easy.
4) Just not really "feeling" it? Grab a buddy and use them to get yourself hyped up! Tell your friend about the story you want to write, let them tell you how cool it is. Every writer needs a hype friend, because when they get excited about your story, suddenly your excited and much more motivated to write it! (I volunteer!)
5) Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. Open the text document and write one word, then close it again. Maybe write a sentence then go watch youtube. In between each video add a few words. You dont need to write a novel in one sitting. Every book started with a single word.
6) Write the ending first! Sometimes you just dont know how to start. You've been staring at that empty document for an hour and *nothing*. You have a scene you want to get to, but you just cant get it started, so, skip the beginning! Just start writing the scene you've already got, then fill in the holes afterwards! Sometimes starting is the most intimidating part.
7) Don't write. This may seem counterintuitive, but try it! Ban yourself from writing! No writing for a whole week! Your not allowed! This is more then just reverse psychology, where suddenly when your not allowed to do something now you want to, but sometimes you just need a break! A week of not feeling guilty for not writing because your not allowed to! A week of not thinking and stressing about it can be just the refreshing thing you needed. Sometimes just feeling guilty for not writing is enough to burn you out.
Sometimes it doesn't actually feel like burn out or writers block, you can have the idea and even the exact words in your head, but you just cant seem to get your fingers to type it. This is still a form of a lack of motivation, so don't beat yourself up♡
I hope these help a bit!!!

Tumblr media
I got 4 items on sale for you today!
First up we got my favorite Spheal pokemon card, ain’t he cute? I stole this one along with all the other cards from a scalper some month back.
Second item is this strange hat, I think it’s some earth fashion since that is where I stole it from. It’s too heavy for me, so I’ll trade it for a cuter and lighter hat.
Next up we got an orb of eternal flame. It’s a nice orb of eternal flame. But with it, my room is too warm to sit with a blanket, so I would rather sell it. And no, I won't tell you where I got it from.
And at last I got one crate of fresh bananas! I’ll give you one bannana for free, it’s rich in potassium!

if you think that being a hero gives you as much feeling as being a villain- that's not true
whether it be bad feelings or good things, being the villain gives you a rush. it's a terribly overcoming feeling of guilt and happiness at the same time and yet no one can experience it except for yourself.

“Finally! It’s been hours, but we’ve finally been dug out!”
“About time.” The villain muttered and pressed a sharp piece of debris against Hero’s neck.
“Are you kidding me? I thought we built a real connection back there.”
“Nothing personal, but I need a shield to keep the police from arresting me.”
“You’re the worst.”
“Yes I know.”
