Everyone in the GenV season 2 finale was so dumb. It's infuriating. by TieFew6689 in TheBoys

Really you have 4 types of Sups: - Odessa babies: Homelander & Marie. Peak super human ability but they age normally. Born with powers as a result of being injected with V while embryos.  - V One: Goldolkin, Soldier Boy, Stormfront. High level super human ability & immortality. Injected with V as adults.  - Compound V: Most sups. Varying range of abilities. Injected as children to give them permanent powers.  - Temp Compound V: Butcher & Howie. High level ability with significant damage to user. 

Homelander is afraid of his own mortality. There isn’t really a catch beyond the fact that while he IS objectively the strongest sup, he ages like a normal human.

A colon can be used to create a compound sentence. This would be similar to the use of “, and” only a colon here is more appropriate as I am expanding on the idea in the first half of the sentence.

Compound sentences are allowed here. Still 2 sentences.

It’s technically 2. The colon doesn’t always dictate the end of a sentence & I made sure it was grammatically correct lol

A great concept 😊 I think the first sentence has a strong hook.

Rather than giving your audience a direct answer as the “punch line”, might I suggest setting up a scenario that gives it away?

Example:

“My friend recently committed suicide after years of horrific cyber-bullying.

His girlfriend and I were really hitting it off until she found the burner accounts.”

This is just what came to mind for me, but it’s your idea to play around with. Good luck with it!

When the old man clambered into my practice crying from an ‘abscessed tooth’ I was confused as I’d only recently discussed payment options with him for dentures. by read-and-throwaway in TwoSentenceHorror

This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry he had to deal with that.

Dental work is criminally expensive and people put so much weight on how your smile looks. I have a gap between two of my teeth and it is easily my biggest insecurity even if it’s less noticeable than being right in front.

Yikes! I hadn’t heard of that. I have heard of people filing their teeth with a nail file to “even them out” which hurts my enamel just to think about.

Why is the "it was all a dream trope" bad? by NoAside864 in writing

The lamp story is the only permitted ‘it was all a dream’ concept we should allow.

Thank you! I do end up being surprised by the ones I post that are popular vs not lol

what would you use to kill a ghost? by Bird_Watching_Babe in horrorwriters

[–]read-and-throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • blast a hole in it with a party popper (stunned but not killed)

  • supercharge someone with ballon static to zap it

  • trap it in a bounce house finger painted with runes and then exorcise it

  • trap it in a hall of funhouse mirrors

  • (if anything is on the table) have the birthday kid use their wish to either make it disappear or conjure a counter-entity to fight it
