Are there any more cambrian creachurs spaceships?

bone broth is also corpse magic

time loops where you’re trapped and it keeps resetting and you’re trying to figure out how to escape. vs time loops where you are in control, you keep slamming the reset button in panic because no not yet, no not THIS, trying to find an outcome you can live with. are you the only one who remembers? is it worse if you aren’t? imagine trying to break out of a time loop and discovering the god you’re trying to please is your friend. they keep dragging you back through this because you’re not getting the outcome they want. maybe that’s the same thing you want. maybe it’s not.

I’m just thinking about how many times I’ve heard my dad on a long call with an obvious scammer and I’ll start begging him to get off the phone because I always think he’s a very easy mark and he’ll just keep going and then after a while he’ll say something like “I died 20 years ago” and hang up.

#this is somehow BOTH spider stalling by pretending to be abelard AND marrow infodumping to morgan 'totally not strahd' fakename #on a scale from spider to marrow what do you do when a suspiciously agreeable man sidles up to your crew and starts asking questions #spider: i guess i pretend to be a bumbling old man pissing himself and if that doesn't work i'll just screw with his mind until help comes #marrow: in my line of work i often examine corpses and you bear an uncanny resemblance to one i studied earlier. i don't know if you're #well-versed in necromantic theory but a few possibilities come to mind right away- #spider rackney #boltswagon campaign #scum and villainy #dr. marrowbane of auldspire #dnd

"unalive" should just mean the opposite of undead. if undead means a dead thing thats alive, unalive shuld mean an alive things thats dead. no i dont have any examples. ☝️yet

#dr. marrowbane of auldspire #dnd #also unironically i do think unalive as a verb is a very interesting linguistic construction #if you give it nuances of meaning that don't apply to 'kill' #like. unaliving someone is a process of undoing. it's not a single action #and it forces you to focus on what is actually being lost here. 'kill' gives focus to what the killer is doing #'unalive' shifts the emphasis to the fact that this person's life is gone

Imagine showing up to work one day and people are like "jesus fucking christ there's a corpse in here", herd you to the back room and everyone who sees you also agrees that there is now a dead body where you are sitting, with the appropriate amount of shock and disgust about it. You figure it's some kind of a prank that they're pulling, but also the people that you know aren't into pranks, or aren't very good actors, are treating you like a corpse. They go weirdly back and forth between talking about you as if you're not there, and politely asking you to stay still while they figure out who you're supposed to call in case of a dead body randomly appearing.

Paramedics show up, study you thoroughly and agree that while they can't see any apparent sign of death, you are, indeed, dead, and ask you to climb aboard the ambulance. You're taken to the temporary corpse storage that hospitals have.

On the way there you ask them whether this kind of shit happens often, and while they won't look at you, the paramedics agree that they've never had a talking corpse before, though they won't question the fact that you're moving on your own.

You're eventually led to a morgue, where you're shown a slab to lay on, and at this point you don't really even question it, you just climb onto the Corpse Shelf and lay down, maybe have a little nap, with no idea what's going to happen next.

Then you wake up to someone walking into the morgue, who has the shit scared out of them when you move, and they're like "dude what the fuck, you're not supposed to be here, this place is for storing dead bodies" and when you're like "aw man sorry I thought I was a dead body" they have no idea whether you're joking and they don't care, you're just chased out of there.

And you just kinda go home and take a shower, show up to work normally the next day and nobody questions it.

And basically that's probably how those ants feel when scientists spray them with the Pheromone That Dead Ants Smell Like, and just hang out at the dead-ant-pile until the smell wears off.

“Temporary stitches” all stitches are temporary if you have a pair of scissors and aren’t a coward

Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.

Got Bones? (Printable)

Hey, I made a printable .PNG version of that “got bones” flyer if anyone wants to make a few copies to hang up in real life and cause some minor chaos around their town. Have fun, feel free to send me pics if you stick it up anywhere

when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??

#dr. marrowbane of auldspire #cassamir knightsinger blackmire #except it’s more complicated because cassie is also ‘devoted’ to a god #whereas marrow is actively like ‘nae gods nae churches fuck ye antidisestablishmentarianists’ #‘also fuck cassie’s god in particular she sounds like a right bitch’ #dnd
