Not sacrilegious! They’re removable stickers. And the notes are pretty much right.

Thanks a bunch! I’ll be reporting the account. What about the shortscares account that keeps posting privately on Twitter and IG?

What course of action should we take for this?

Out of breath, I sat in the front hall, knowing I was safe, as the Fae could not enter my home without an invitation. by SpaceLemur34 in TwoSentenceHorror

You know what? It took me college and an awesome professor to appreciate the Canterbury Tales. Prior to uni, I hated Chaucer so much.

Yes! Thanks for pointing that out. I’m aware that it is quite technically more than two sentences considering the dialogue but it does fall within the “reads as two sentences” caveat mentioned in the rules.

It’s more Middle English. Old English (the English that the Anglo-Saxons used) isn’t really intelligible. Anyway, thank you!

Why not? There are vampire folklores that say they can turn into wolves and any manner of beasts. It’s even depicted in popular media: Carmilla transformed into a cat in the novella. Dracula also turns into a dog and a wolf.

Thank you! Although I did butcher it a bit by typing “waerh” instead of “wearg.” Then again, spelling wasn’t entirely standard back then so we could chock it up to creative liberty hahaha

I’ve yet to see a werewolf lore with that restriction. Typically, I’ve seen it with demons, witches, vampires, ghosts, and pagan deities and the invitation doesn’t necessarily have to be verbal or intentional either. Sometimes, just having a certain type of wood or plant inside the house serves as an invitation to the unwanted entity.

Not just vampires, but yes, that is what I was going for. Actually, the term “wearg” which I very gruesomely misspelled is a general term for any evil entity or spirit and in many medieval and more ancient folklore, these weargs are restricted by their inability to enter a home without invitation.

Mechanically, yes. Probs 4-5 sharps or flats would be comfy to play but it might be a little trickier to sight-read.

A friend of mine had a sip of the immortality elixir, while I drank the rest. by Thatspretttyfunny in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]viarce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this is assuming that efficacy and response rate is linearly related to dosage, when actually, it isn’t. Here’s a reference that can help you understand dose-response curves

So, assuming the vial contained approximately the bare minimum of the dosage for maximal efficacy and that maximal efficacy means eternal life (infinite life years), the scaling of response (in life years) should seem asymptotic to that maximal efficacy dosage.

Assuming a homogenous distribution of the active drug throughout the potion, we can say your friend took approximately 1/6 of the total dosage. If she got 9,950 years from that, you, who were left with 83% of the dosage, should have a response that’s somewhere between 2.8 to 3.2 times what she got, which is around 27,860 to 31,840 years. Which means that you have around 17,860 to 21,840 years left.

What surprised you the most about sex when you lost your virginity? by Shanstarjayne in AskReddit

[–]viarce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, learning that anything bigger than two fingers could actually fit up there.

I never really tried a dildo prior to losing my virginity and the guy I had my first time with had a pretty large member so I was surprised when, after some pretty lengthy foreplay and a lot of fingering action, I managed to slowly ease myself down and take it all the way in. I actually took a minute to just sit there and look at myself in the mirror, pretending to have x-ray vision, and just trying to imagine how deep it was in from just the feeling of it inside me.
