Self-inconsistent - Stick Your Hand Through The Bars And Read My Story

So if every time they stopped to swap out a board on the ship of theseus, theseus went ahead and ate the old one, 1) did he Eat A Ship by consuming it's constituent parts and 2) if so, is the ship he ate more or less of the same ship they set sail with than the ship they finished sailing with? If you had ship of theseus crust pants that were created via your friend taking a big bite out of your pants occasionally and then you had to patch it until the original fabric was all gone, are your pants you wear and the pair of pants your friend ate the Same Pants ?

that didn't happen you're making that up

"So you collect ghosts?"

"Not intentionally. Ghosts are just drawn to me. I'm a ghost sponge. A ghost magnet. When I'm hired to check out a haunted house, I walk in and take all the ghosts with me when I leave. And if it turns out there's a demon the ghosts eat 'em. It's a very efficient system."

"...Say that last part again."

"The ghosts eat the demons. Like a pack of hyenas taking down a wildebeest. I've seen the ghost of a 90-year-old Ukrainian babushka tear apart a demon with her teeth."

Dude you gotta meet my friend I love him and his company makes me happy

Y'all have gotta get more insane about platonic relationships like you are about romantic relationships. We need to get more annoying about them NOW. I need to see more meta and losing our minds over them. Get more annoying NOW. More than that. More than that also.

I have one question I have not seen anyone ask.

We all know Marcille is gay for Falin

Does Marcille know she is gay for Falin though???

Is she aware of the existence of lesbians? Is she aware she is one? I don't think we will ever find out, but in the meantime I find it a fun explanation for why she is like this . Marcille is consumed whole by yearning while thinking "wow, it is so nice to be a gal with a pal, Falin and I are such good friends 👍"

Nothing's gonna come out of this probably but. I want to make OCs, right. And in this scenario there is a guy or a girl or a person and this person has a dead wife. And that isn't great. They're very upset. So they pray to a god, whatever god they can, and they offer up anything to revive said dead wife. They summon this god up from whatever place he's been vibing in and begs him to resurrect their wife. And the god, surprisingly, says yes, and gives them a list of things to accomplish before the resurrection ritual can begin. And the mortal is ecstatic! Like hell yeah they're getting their wife back. And the god follows him along for the ride. Because hey, free entertainment.

Meanwhile, the god is beside himself in panic because he did Not mean that. He was incredibly flustered, woken up from a centuries long nap, and met with the face of a very disheveled but incredibly attractive widower and spat out the first thing he could think of. And now they're both in a legally binding contract wherein the human is sent on a goose chase to complete like 12 impossible tasks and the god is trying to figure out how to raise someone from the dead while trailing the human around to make sure they don't die from the very fatal list of quests the god sent them on to stall

Happy writing!

“ Kip looked up at him, face entirely blank. Maybe it was something about the dying firelight, or the sound of the rain. Maybe it was how Kip's eyes formed huge perfect circles, and how his mouth was a flat line. Marin was struck with the sudden and intense feeling that he had just asked something deeply personal. “
