I’d considered making one of them a veteran lich who has conquered other versions of himself and the other a ‘naive victim’ lich but that was too on the nose for what Marvel had been planning to do with Kang and also narratively unnecessary.
In mine they are yuan-ti abomination liches, and since they are each other’s phylactery, their bodies were intricately crafted to be serpentine ebony or ivory. Similar to yours in some ways.
Thanks for the stories, sounds like it was fun!
My vet tech wife agrees.
The antibiotics should’ve done the job so the cat needs attention.
Have fun with it!
D&D 5e game:I have two planets orbiting each other.
1200 years ago it was just a moon, then somehow the moon fell and almost ended the world.
But the next day there was a moon again.
Really it’s another version of the same world from a parallel timeline. The act of summoning it led the powers that be to seal the system in a bubble plane to keep the chaos from spreading.
The wizard who did it fell in love with himself from another timeline. The BBEG is two liches who are each other’s phylactery. If both cannot be defeated before the first revives, there is no way to stop them.
Such a tragic story, to do that much for love and then only be vulnerable when you’re near your love.
Their name is Zeitounessian, and I have a party on each world trying to stop him.
Neither party has yet determined that there are two of him.
I loved that so so much. He broke all the rules. He told jokes, read them from a book, paced them terribly, and paused for laughter when there wasn’t any.
“Cloris Leachman is here!” checks the book “Cloris, if people say you’re over the hill, don’t believe them. You’ll never be over the hill. Not in the car you drive.”
Bahahaha!
Yeah, we argue about rules, like a lot.
But on the other hand, we also work to figure out how to make ridiculous things happen within the rules.
It’s the nature of the game.
Well I’ve never heard of it until now, and I still don’t know what it is or what it’s about, so…
It brings out a whole new world of flavor. Truly surprising. Just toss with a little olive oil and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or so.
Try roasting the broccoli first, assuming you don’t already.
She is a woman of color who was a cop and prosecutor when recent events call those first two qualities into question with the latter two.
But this is a time when Democrats, I believe, will say that this is a strong candidate with knowledge of the legal system in a time when we need to strike down right-wing supported terrorism and put the enemies of our nation away.
Let’s see how she campaigns, not that she can lose my vote.
The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.
But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.
And we will.
Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.
But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.
But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.
To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.
City of Lost Children, and to a slightly lesser extent, Delicatessen and Amelie, all directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
I’ve yet to see worldbuilding as effortless as it is in the first two movies.
Drop you in blind, explain nothing, get very weird, and tell a fantastic story.
Humanity is a lost cause. Still worth fighting for.
You’d need to watch it through to understand. (And I’m not telling you to do that.)
It’s about troubled people trying to build themselves into something more, and what it can cost you in the moment.
You see a dozen people screaming at each other and yelling Chef - I see a family trying to work through their issues, one of those being the toxicity of families, while being honest and showing each other love and respect.
My wife also loves Schitt’s Creek and I can’t stand the shallow, one-note characters… but that’s because I haven’t put in the time to get to know them and see how they grow and change.
A lot of shows are like this, and it’s totally okay to bounce off of them if they don’t resonate with you.
But I love this one. The Bear is great fun.
Don’t give anyone ideas.
“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.
Once.
Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!
A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.
But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.
Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.
Yuuuup.
Fiend warlock player did not like learning how I used his minor backstory. (He actually loved it.)
He knew he needed to save a tree. He didn’t know he was the one to burn it, nor that he did so because it was a source of power to his mother, who was a night hag.
So much fun.
He saved the tree and even managed to change his Patron, but is too scared to confront his mother again.
