My writings are pretty terrible, but I like to think they're somewhat readable | I write for Hamilton and Newsies, but no longer Game Grumps | Masterlist Link! | Writing Prompts! | Requests open!
That map going around showing how cold it is in the N Midwest rn
It fucking cracks me up. Everyone keeps talking about Chicago, and rightfully so, but I've seen NO ONE say anything about any city in Minnesota. MN IS THE ONLY STATE FULLY SURROUNDED BOIS WE FROZEN SOLID OUT HERE
In high school one of the common fund raisers was carnation flowers for a dollar during prom season and valentines and a couple other times of year. And you could “order” flowers to be delivered to kids during their homeroom times so it was always a big deal to get flowers and it was super fun
But one of these fundraisers I had a guy friend who commented he never got any because he was always single or his girlfriend always expected flowers but never gave him any
So my senior year valentines I decided I was going to buy all the guys in my homeroom (which he was in) a carnation and said they were from “Anonymous Girl in your homeroom”
So the day came and all the guys started getting flowers and they all realized they were from the same one girl and all got super excited and giddy and protective of their flowers and all day long I saw the guys in my homeroom wear flowers behind their ears or stuffed in their notebooks and they flaunted them around to other guys that didn’t get flowers. One guy tried to see if it would make his girlfriend jealous. A couple of them tried to play detective to figure it out who it was.
Then the next day apparently they all (or at least most of them) got together and bought all the girls in homeroom a carnation as a thank you to whoever it was so every girl in my homeroom got a bouquet of one from every guy (so it was a bouquet of about a dozen) and every single girl was smiling and happy and bouncy as the guys were the day before
And no one ever knew it was me but I was always super proud of that
Ask the local merchants for directions. Booths that sell magic items often change the location to avoid theft.
Go at night. Merchants selling valuable items often sleep in their booth.
The merchant who scratches the back of his head a lot is the best!
Tell the merchant you are only interested in buying a magic carpet.
Do not touch anything. Many objects are cursed.
When the merchant presents you a carpet, ask if he can call upon the clouds for blessings. If he refuses, do not touch the carpet.
Beware of illegal or stolen magic carpets. You do not want the sultan to think that you are the one who stole his carpet.
Though magic carpets develop their own personality over time, the spinner, weaver and the magic caster often influence its personality.
Pay close attention to the fabric and color.
Old frayed carpets have withstood the test of time and offer quality for an often low price. Make sure you like your carpet’s personality though!
Always ask the merchant if he can demonstrate flying the carpet.
Find out what the command for making your carpet hover is. The merchant will only tell what it is after you buy the carpet. This is often a complex word so that thieves are not able to use the carpet. Hopefully, the merchant will not deceive you! Go to the man who scratches his head a lot. He is trustworthy.
Sit on your carpet. Make it hover.
Tell your carpet where you want to go.
If the place exists, your carpet will take you there. It will even fly through walls!
Do not dare to ask your carpet to take you to a place you do not think exists. It will go look for the place and will not stop flying until you arrive. If it does not exist, you will be flying until you die!
Your carpet gets tired too. Allow it the time to replenish its magic.
Compliment your carpet and scratch it from time to time. Especially when flying long distances.
Be careful not to fall off your carpet.
If you do not take good care of your carpet or disrespect it, it might throw you off.
Never, ever make your carpet dirty. First, it is extremely disrespectful. Second, damaged threads undermine your carpet’s capability to replenish its magic.
Many rookies like to fly their carpet over the desert. Beware of bandits!
Remember rule 19.
You can tell if your carpet is tired by how taut its fabric is.
The carpet’s edges often curl up if it is excited.
Your carpet understands your every word. You can have conversations with it. However, it is only able to answer yes or no questions and will answer by curling its corners.
Flying a magic carpet has been one of my best experiences ever! My carpet and I flew everywhere. I loved lying on my back and look at the stars as we flew unhurriedly over the Sahara. Unfortunately, my carpet got stolen by bandits. We had a good bond. I miss him. I am sure he misses me too. I hope your current owner treats you well and that he tells you every day how beautiful and soft your silk is.
