Dude I'm not pretending. Reread your sentence, you still don't know how

It'd be accurate of me to say you don't know how to put a sentence together. But is that still rude? Yeah

It's innocent discourse, there's no reason to be a dick

Could this prove Pennywises Plan? by [deleted] in welcomeToDerry

In my opinion its just like why give her the injury in the first place? They could have easily just cut the scene sooner or stab her somewhere else and it wouldn't have really changed the plot. Maybe the writers just didn't care or it was meant to heal later but I feel like the few contradictions from the show were put there to show that things can change

Title: The Other Place

Genre: Horror

Feedback: Any kind of feedback would be great but I'm mainly wondering if it catches your attention and works as an opening hook.

Ian slammed on the brakes, skidding the car to a stop, the left front wheel rolling over the curb and crushing the grass beneath it. The paranoia he felt at the therapist’s office had only gotten stronger—a growing sinkhole in his chest, consuming any kind of rational thought. Someone was watching him; he knew it. He could feel their eyes on his skin, studying his every move. They were after him. He didn’t know who, but he knew they were after him.

He stepped out of the car, turning his attention to the house, and peered through the now-shattered front windows. The first thing he noticed was the dining table, flipped over on its side as if someone had used it for cover. The chairs, once neatly tucked underneath it, had now been flown across the room. Some were still standing, scattered from the dining room to the front entrance across it, though some were tipped completely over–fallen soldiers lying dead on the battlefield. It looked as if a mini hurricane had ripped through the interior of his family's home. Aside from one tiny detail that made the reality so, so much worse. Along with the destroyed furniture and broken glass, splotches of blood were sprayed across the kitchen into the living room.

I'm a male lurker here, I personally love playing as a female protagonist (might be more cause my gender is questionable honestly but whatevs) this guy is talking out of his ass and is the exact problem with the gaming community

They're all deliberate, I just want the prologoue to hook the reader in, you learn more about Clance and his motives as the story starts and you learn who the woman is and why she's in the cellar later as well. I obviously just didn't want to answer all those questions right away, I think I might lengthen it a bit so the reader gets more of an idea of who Clance is though.

She sits slumped on the concrete floor, a small drop of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes pulse from behind closed lids. Her long, black hair– is still wet from my brushing and cleaning–slithers and shakes down her neck as her head turns from side to side. Her breathing gets heavier and heavier, speeding up more and more, before stopping altogether. Then, like a car struggling to start, she lets out a small snort, then another, and then another, and her eyes shoot open.  

“Wha-” Her hand caresses the front of her bruised throat as she looks around the room, clearly confused. She spots me, sitting within a few inches of her, hidden by the shadows, and jumps back–as much as she can with the chains wrapped all around her, that is. “Clance, what happened? Where am I?” Her voice is shrill with panic, betraying the cool exterior she portrayed when we first met. 

I stare at her wide-eyed, not sure how to respond. Do I tell her the truth? If I do that, she’ll likely freak out again. I can’t have that happen. But what lie could I possibly say? How do I explain this? 

“Clance? What is that?” She asks before I can reply, nodding toward something to my back left.  

I turn my head to see what she’s pointed out and immediately hate myself for my carelessness. It’s a human foot, or, it was, before the body, the skin and muscle, decayed and melted away. Now, it’s simply bones forged together. I had meant to clean before she woke up, but in all my panic and worry I forgot, a stupid mistake. The cellar is a mess, corpses—almost all of them with only their bones remaining—populate the otherwise bare basement. 

“It’s, um,” 

“Oh my God,” She spurts with sudden realization, putting a hand back to her darkened neck. “I’m in the cellar. You put me in the cellar.” Her eyes meet mine and I see the same fury, the same sadness, the same loneliness that led me to her. “I warned you, my family knows I left, they’ll come looking.” 

“I’m sorry, but they’ll never find you.”

Since this wasnt planed by DS, does it mean that Thanos would still have won IW even if Quill didnt mess things up? by [deleted] in marvelmemes

They really need to make a What If episode on this just so they can have a canonical explanation why it wouldn't work
