i fucking love pathfinder and dungeons and dragons because of how easy it is to break an entire game with a single massively lucky dice roll
unrelated: our GM wants every single person in my party dead, but especially our paladin
so, my party found a magical wishing well fountain, and on a whim a couple of us toss silver pieces in. when we realized that our GM was actually rolling for outcomes, and that some of the outcomes could be fucking incredible (the first successful person got a permanent +1 to diplomacy after wishing to be better at talking to people) we all started wishing for bigger, more character-motivation-important things.
our paladin goes quiet, and then says “I’m wishing for something the rest of the party can’t hear, let me text it to you.” the GM reads it, and decides that this has such a slim chance of happening that this wish is only going to be granted if he rolls a 1 on a percentage die.
he rolls.
he freezes.
he looks somewhere between terrified and furious.
at this point the table is freaking out demanding to know what just happened and what the paladin wished for, and our GM sighs and says, “Well guys, what just happened is
aohdán told me to bend over. I said, ‘no, only if you pull a star out of the sky.’ and then
aohdán looked me in the eye, reached up, and pulled down the heavens in front of me. and now i’m bent over and
aohdán is fucking me in the ass.”
we still don’t know what the fuck got wished for, but we do know that the giant, world-is-ending quest has been usurped by something somehow more important, and our GM actively wants to kill our paladin.
“I’m still fucking livid. I have no words to describe the fury I have.” -the GM upon reading this post and reliving potentially the worst game decision he’s ever made
Cherenkov radiation is the result of the experiment.
A nice reminder that, contrary to the sickly green you usually see in fiction, glowy radiation is usually a lovely blue. But what’s happening? Well, something’s going faster than light! I’m not a physicist, so i might be getting some details wrong, but this is as far as i understand it:
See, the speed of light is a universal constant, the c of e=mc². But that’s only in a vacuum—so much of physics is based first and foremost on activity in a vacuum—and the speed of light through matter is often significantly slower. Instead of 1 c, light moves through liquid water at about 0.75 c. That may still be ludicrously fast, but it’s still slowed down enough that charged particles like electrons can exceed that speed within the medium in question. Exceeding that speed does all kinds of weird, somewhat terrifying and very exciting things to the electromagnetic field of the medium, including the creation of a shockwave in a manner very similar to a sonic boom.
In other words, that bright blue visible radiation is what happens when a particle exceeds the speed-of-light-in-water and creates a luminal boom.
Oh. So THAT’S what my favorite color is
It’s so beautiful
I got my Bachelors in physics, with my senior project working with Cherenkov radiation, and yeah, @ayellowbirds pretty much got that description spot on. [thumbs up]
i drew this little friend and i dont know what he is but i love him
Don’t worry, friends. Little guy is ok.
he doesnt have arms to drink that tea that is a threat in disguise
goodbye small fucker
LEAVE HIM ALONE
I’m going to help train our friend, I won’t stand to see him take this abuse any longer
We’re taking it a bit slow because he’s still recovering, but his training is coming along nicely! You can do it, little guy!
looks like all that training is starting to pay off
I will resurrect many time with more strangth.
Revenge is sweet.
goodbye small fucker
I always love these because you get to see so many different art styles but holy fuck guys someone needs to get him a spikey hat or knights armour covered in razor blades
I love how every time I see this there’s a new addition
The saga continues
…You IDIOTS.
The only version I will ever reblog is this one
Flowey no
no mercy small fucker
After all this time fighting, the little guy and his enemy realized that it was all pointless. Since the beginning, the hate for each other had only make them stronger but by accepting their differences and learning to respect each other, they realized that they don’t have to keep being rivals, but perhaps something else.
even if their relationship may have started badly, the strong bond between them will last forever, by helping each others with what they lack and learning to accept that even if people have difference it would only make a world a more interesting place to be c:
Just the happy ending I needed
YAS FINALLY
That was a long ass battle XD happy end… But is there a bad end?? Hmmmm *waiting for the shoe to drop
That was intense
Okay so I hate this always because it’s super unnecessary intense negativity that I just despise but I love the Flowey addition
Imagine My Immortal but written in the style of Shakespeare.
SCENE 1. A MAGIC SCHOOL CALLED HOGWARTS IN ENGLAND
Enter ENOBY
ENOBY
For truth, that which the gods have christened me Has many parts, like these locks, flow’n from my crown. That hellish sound, which forms mine name, sprung from The dusky shades of these roots, so like the stone But broken, rent, mottled; for, like the flames That hie from Hades, the dusk is split with peals Of cold violet, the shade of icy fangs Met with military scarlet; coils not But hangs; not ragged, but lustrous, set off Like a precious jewel made more pure by the Barren winds of silent winter deserts, So are not these jewels of mine own self-crown Brought forth in splendour so close to these eyes Frozen, as glaciers, forged by an artist Who, bereft of artisan tools, gives himself And sculpts his godly business with that Which the muses draw blindly from his vision. Thus sorrow, reflected twice in these mirrors, Casting mine eyes as icy limpid tears.
Imagine Shakespeare but written in the style of My Immortal
Hi my name is Hamlet and I have long blond hair that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like the sun god Apollo (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to him but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. My mother married my uncle after my father died. I have pale white skin. I’m also a student, and I went to a school called Wittenberg in Germany but I just graduated. I’m a prince (in case you couldn’t tell) but I wear mostly black bc I’m in mourning. I For example today I was wearing a black doublet with matching lace around it and a black tights, white undershirt and black boots. I was with my mother and Horatio. We were standing inside Elsinore. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. My uncle Claudius stared at me. I put up my middle finger at him.
i dont think goosebumps books ever came into print i think they just mystically appeared in public school libraries one day already in mediocre condition
this sounds like a plot for a goosebumps book about goosebumps books
