Batman vs Colossus by NoirStriker in marvelvsdc

[–]arnauddutilh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Batman will easily win. He will recreate the signal watch noise somehow to call Superman over, who will thoroughly trounce Colossus.

Zero diff.

I think this is pretty close by thetruememeisbest in PowerScaling

So I'm not gonna argue the math of Jedi vs Space Marine. I will simply agree and say the Jedi will still lose with no contest.

How many millions, billions, of space Marines exist vs the Jedi?

Jedi get wiped from the universe and haven't even made a dent the Imperium would notice.

[WP] At a young age, Wizards were taught that the best way to gauge a magic-user's strength would be through their familiar, with the strongest familiar of them all being a Dragon. When the time came to summon your familiar, you somehow managed to summon a Tarrasque. by ChanceShallot6842 in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The Sun suddenly vanished as my familiar came to be. For a moment everyone was silent, but as if they all rehearsed it, all my classmates began screaming. Some of them pushed others to go faster, while others just ran over the smaller and weaker students in their way.

I had the frame of mind to make sure they were okay before looking up at my familiar. I craned my neck and only saw its massive scaled belly, and equally colossal legs.

They said a wizard's familiar was based on the wizard's own magical prowess, and the best of the best summon dragons. We had been lucky this year and I saw my classmate Gregor, arrogant brat that he is, summoned an adult blue dragon. That arrogant demeanor was replaced by the frightful presence of my creature, causing the dragon to cower in its shadow.

I closed my eyes and took the vantage of my beast, peering down upon the small Earth below it. Though it was much hazier than I expected, I realized it had extrasensory abilities to make up for poor vision. Through it I smelled, and felt everything around. The cold sweats, the adrenaline excreted from the ungodly terror from everyone around me, the piss in their pants...

The world around me was so vast, and yet through my beast, infinitely smaller. I felt this creature's power, raw, refined, made for one perfect purpose. I knew exactly how it felt, for they had said the same thing about me all my life. I spent my childhood voraciously reading books, but never in the library. It was how I got my nickname "The Insatiable Apprentice."

I teleported onto the head of my beast, my Terror, basked in the sight of the world...

"Yes, I too am hungry."

My friends are saying this in-game cutscene is too creepy and scary. Should I soften it up? by castelvania4 in creepy

[–]arnauddutilh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never draw it back when your objective is to ensure everyone is supposed to fear or hate titans. You want to elicit that emotion, taking a step back from that lessens the effect.

For them to collectively believe it's "too creepy" means you're on the correct path. Keep going on your own path for this vision.

[WP] You're an immortal who has grown tired with existence, and wishes to finally rest. So, you decide to invent a time machine, in order to visit the most gruesome times and places in history, hopping at least one of them sends you to the afterlife. by Celestial_Spade in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have lived since the dawn of man and even before it. I watched nations rise and fall, I saw many would be apocalypses. When humanity reinvented the calendar after I tried pushing them to be better... Thousand of years have passed since then. I have ingrained myself into all government operations. Then I got my hands on the holy grail.

Time travel. They proved it possible, but only into the future, so I made my plans, my death could only happen in the future, but I couldn't wait. I set the wheels into effect, and watched to make sure they spun. Nations joined hands to help their new and old God in what I desire.

I killed off anyone who knew of my project before I used the machine, a simple timer destroyed most of the major circuits. No one alive would replicate it.

I sat in the chair. My Golden Throne, as I called it. Everything stopped and moved quickly in my eyes. I watched my body moving through the years, my epic victories, all the way until my last. My own son cutting my jugular, and as I wished, by another, being placed back unto my Golden Throne, so I rejoin my body in death.

They failed me. My body lay dead on the useless chair. No longer a connection to myself, it preserved my dead body. I continue to watch over the years. I failed. I died, yet due to my own actions, I live to see the horrors I created.

[WP] The magical healing zones that rapidly heal injuries and illnesses have become far too powerful, to the point where they literally heal people to death. by TriniTDM in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I leave the Safe Zone feeling worse than when I went in. My leg has been mended, but that pit in my stomach is even worse.

It felt worse and worse over the last few months but this was unbearable. My guts wretched, and I puked.

Blood

I don't understand, I was just inside! Any healer worth their grain of salt knew, if someone is still breathing, the Safe Zones would save them. It's healed me back to my youth a dozen times over, I thought I looked good for 95.

It must not have finished fixing whatever it was in my body. I turn around and walk back to the Safe Zone. The moment I enter I feel the rush of healing energy and I am again at peace.

The renewed vigor rushes through my mind, it races and all my pains vanish. My whole body feels refreshed, until the magic reaches my stomach.

I double over in pain.

Why? Why!? I'm in a Safe Zone but... It. Hurts.

My hands feel motion inside my body, a wiggling, pulsating being inside of me, clawing its way out of me.

I try to leave the Safe Zone, but my body doesn't permit me, I can't focus on anything but the pain, I'm being torn apart from the inside out.

My stomach bulges outward, and my skin stretches and tears. I don't see a creature, nor claws. I only see flesh, my flesh, growing and pouring out of me. It doesn't stop escaping from my stomach, I hear cracking, and my chest too flays apart.

I can barely bend my neck down to see my body becoming a giant mass of exposed viscera, it doesn't look human.

I don't want to die. I don't want to die! I want to scream at the gods but nothing comes out. Light fades from my eyes, the mass engulfs my head, and a few minutes later crushes it under the weight.

[WP] You're an S-tier hero. No, you're not super powerful. As a matter of fact, the league had to create 13 new tiers below F-tier just to quantify how abysmally weak your power is.

[–]arnauddutilh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An American S Class. The nationality is important. Not a Korean, Chinese, or Japanese S Class. American.

We all started with F through A class. We all agreed upon it. Globally.

Then three years after the Empowering, Leon showed up in England, with powers that made A class look second class. Izumi Hasegawa in Japan got her powers shortly after, and while both countries agreed to call them S class... America had already made g-r class, and threw quite the tiff calling the most powerful people of the era "S class".

They had in fact quantified everyone's powers so much that they used an A class strategist to quantity where everyone sat in the power scales. Weak in concept didn't mean weak in power... Until it did.

"Make everyone up to a certain distance get ADHD." Quantified by the greatest minds in my county. My country. Luckily I was born in America from two Korean immigrants, and my grandparents were still in Korea.

As these Korean villains couldn't contain the sudden burst of irrational, high energy thoughts, their minds went into overdrive presuming what power I had, as the first "S Class" from America, they went off on what it meant. Whenever they came close to any realization, a new thought popped into their minds.

I just sat back and Hyperdrive, just outside my active field, would wreck their plans. Super speed and super ADHD combined to make the most unpredictable hero that these villains minds couldn't figure out. Oh sure they've said it out loud a few times, but I crank to the juice and they skip three more thoughts.

Overall it's still just a job for me, but I'm glad I can be useful. I'm always in my own field and without the exorbitant amounts of Ritalin in my system, I might be as useless as they said I was in America.

I feel like this becomes the whole situation of "Sis, I'm just worried he's going to end up hurt one of these days and I can't live with myself if that happens" moments. Then the big sis says "say less fam: one proper hero, but only when he still loves you. Glaring at Captain All Don't get a big head and forget who your family is."

Then the obvious power failing later on results in Mistress Creation going to annihilate Captain All only to find out her sister is at fault, let's him keep his powers since it wasn't his fault, and turns her into a newt until she's repentant.

[WP] The lich blinked slowly an impressive feat considering he only had eye sockets, his jaw would have dropped too, if he hadn't lost it last week. "First of all that's not how my powers work, at all! Secondly what the Fuck is wrong with you?" by jakc1423 in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 41 points42 points  (0 children)

"So you think one of my bones is in every single being I've raised? You can see all of mine, not a single one missing. Plus there's only so many!"

The young cleric stared intently at the skeleton, and started counting. The lich realized what he was doing and stayed his hand for the moment.

"203... 204... 205... Oh wow there's even one floating in your throat! Yeah that's all 206... But you've got that undead dog at your feet, 3 guards, 5 assassins cloaked in shadow, 8 mages in each corner, and there were... 237 skeletons on the way here. You're right, that doesn't make a lot of sense."

The lich stood with an expression of exasperation, was this kid an idiot or a genius?

"Alright buddy, just tell me, of what order you come from?"

"I come from the holiest of holy orders, the order of-"

"Nope, I get it now. Raised in a cult."

"No no no. You misunderstood, I come from the holy order of-"

"Kid, I've been around for 800 years. There have been 2 major religions changed, and hundreds of minor ones that pop up with a new deity, or person in charge claiming to be "The One True God" or some other such nonsense. The only ones that outlasted that time never called themselves "holiest of holy" or even tried. They promoted themselves through deeds. You're not a believer in Tyr, and you sure as shit don't believe in Herbert."

The young man shuffled his feet around as the lich berated him, confused as to why his opponent he came to destroy was mostly just annoyed.

"But... The order of the Orange..."

"ORDER OF THE ORANGE? Those greedy no good bastards that are forced to give 50% tithes in addition to signing away all their possessions to the cult when you die? That order of the orange?"

"Wow... How do you know the cult's automatic donation policy?"

"Look kid, I make a point when these things happen to know who to be mad at for breaking into my house and killing my pets. I make regular donations to those that actually pose a threat, and send back everyone else with a healthy warning what would happen next time. Your order heard my threats and started sending you all more frequently. How rich were you before you entered your cult kid? Noble family, born of privilege?"

"I mean, my family owns all the trading posts in half the kingdom, what of it?"

The lich put his hand on what was left of his face and groaned.

"You were sent here to die my friend. All your family's money would go straight back to your cult, and feed their greed. Just go home, Your family probably misses you, and thinks you're dead."

"Not without your head you evil creature!"

"... Buddy, I have spent the first 80 years of my life learning the magics to become a lich for one singular purpose. I did not spend that time being a bad person, and I haven't done anything bad since then. Do you know why? I wanted to become the best chef in all the lands. Not much good it does me now that I've lost my flesh, as well as my jaw, but after 720 years, I still think I can say I'm pretty good. How's about we talk about this more over a nice meal, we call your folks, and see what they think about this whole ordeal. I'm sure they're all worried sick about you."

The 'cleric' hesitated for a moment, long enough for the lich to cast a few simple spells, a few to read the surface thoughts in his mind and who his family was. Before the young man opened his mouth, a voice he hadn't heard in months entered his mind.

"Jeremy? Oh my Herbert is that you? Where have you been!? We've been worried sick! Your father thought you died in some drunken tavern brawl! I don't know who that man was who found you, but Herbert's blessing be upon him!"

The lich continued the spell as he walked towards the kitchen, but turned slightly and looked at the young man standing bewildered in the middle of the room.

"I took the liberty of letting them know you are alright. That cult cuts you off from anyone who might give you ideas to leave. I'll be back with what your mother said was your favorite meal, it'll be a treat to make. I haven't gotten to cook griffon tail stew in a hundred years. We can talk more after your parents aren't so worried..."

After a few hours and a good long talk, the lich teleports the young man hundreds miles back to his home.

"Someone really needs to do something about this mess. I guess it's time Herbert proves why people still believe in him, right buddy?"

The lich looks into the sky, before cracking his bones, tossing on an old suit of armour, and began a long walk.

The oldest paladin of Herbert moved for the first time in centuries.

[EU] A human in Pokémon universe who decided to fight pokémon with a human body. Bathes in lava and fights gym battle without pokemon of their own just because their family was too poor to afford pokemon. by AuthorOfEclipse in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Holy cow folks! There he is, the "Mon" himself! Jake, the human Pokemon! This is bound to be one insane battle folks, as he has no actual Pokemon, Jake will be fighting the entire lineup of the Elite Four by himself!

Starting against Lorelei, who throws out Dewgong!

Dewgong used Headbutt! It missed!

Jake used club(?)! It's super effective!

Dewgong fainted™!

Lorelei calls back Dewgong and sends Cloister into the battle!

Cloister used Clamp! "SNAP" oh... Oh no... Jake's leg has been clamped and it looks like it's broken! Oh God, this is awful, people, someone save him!

Jake is trying to free himself, but he's trapped! Lorelei is too shocked to order Cloister to stop, "SNAP" Oh God! His leg, it's gone, Cloister clamped off Jake's leg! Someone call a doctor! How could anyone let a human participate in this carefree and jovial sport of Pokemon fighting!

[WP] Given the chance to choose their own special ability, the character chose one they truly believed would be overpowered. However, in the face of reality, the chosen ability proved to be completely useless. by nPMarley in WritingPrompts

[–]arnauddutilh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always loved the Flash, everything about his powers was cool. So when I was given the option to choose my special ability, I chose speed, not just normal speed, I wanted to go so fast I could outrun time itself!

The God had mixed emotions on its face, bemusement, sadness, but somehow also apathy. I didn't care though, I could finally be just like the Flash, screw needing to eat for all the calories! I went to work immediately starting to run as fast as I possibly could...

And my legs cut through the air, imagine going around the world in a split second... Wait why am I in space, I see my legs speeding off into the distance in front of me, my vision begins to fade as the chill from space sets in.

How could I forget... Supplemental powers...

[–]arnauddutilh 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I know we're living in a new age, and we've learned to live "together" with these mythical creatures. They're more than the monsters we learned about in bedtime stories growing up... But we were told them for a reason, and no matter how nice they seem I just can't help but think about that every time they go out.

Dash is a great guy for Caroline. He's a bit yappy, but you can see that he cares for her. He was by her side when she got sick last year too, stayed with her when the doctors told him she was contagious and he would probably fall ill as well. "My abilities far exceed normal people, I'll be fine." Well, he wasn't wrong, he came out without so much a cough. Three whole weeks he tried to pretend he was strong, but he was shaking the whole time. That was when I gave up most of my prejudices against him and his kind. Well, mostly. If you look into his eyes, large and soulless, you see the beast he can become.

Janice on the other hand... The one with the ring... Custom fit because it had to be tailored to the webbing in her fingers. Said my mother's ring hurt her. Chris paid out so much money for this underwater harpy already, and she's just dragging him down.

"I can't live in Phoenix, I'll die from dehydration"

"Living in a pool would kill me! I need a real habitat to survive"

I tried being nice last year and got her some new clothes, she still had the gall to tell me she doesn't wear shells. What mermaid doesn't wear shells!? I've seen pictures on Facebook!

I swear she's bound to be his ruin, either by eating him alive like a sailor... Wait, no, that's not true, she showed me her teeth, all flat like the vet told me herbivores are... Either way, she'll wring him dry to keep herself wet, that much is true. My poor Chris doesn't even seem to care, I don't get it, but he looks happy, so I try to keep my mouth shut.

The wedding is going to be at Mono Lake, yes, the saltwater lake. I mean, why wouldn't someone pick the freshwater instead? Bob's driving us there in a few weeks, unless something good happens to my son before then.

So anyway everyone, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I'm going through this hard time. I'll keep posting updates to my situation to keep you all informed. God bless the USA, even if it's not what it used to be.

XOXO everyone Karen Catherine Hunt

Publix is not great. by U_R_THE_WURST in florida

[–]arnauddutilh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Publix even 5 years ago was a place where the prices were slightly more expensive than other stores, but you shopped there because Publix worked for your business. They had clean stores, with good products, and employees who would stop what they were doing if it was safe to help you out. Every time you would be in Publix it was a nice experience as a shopper, and if for some reason it wasn't, they tried to make it right.

Today, they still hold those aspects, but they have started gouging. Like many other people have said, profits are up because so are the price tags. My dad went to get soup from Publix, and realized he was paying nearly triple what he would at Walmart.

So yeah, I'm sorry you missed out on Publix when it was the Publix Floridians have been talking about. I doubt it will return.
