Yes! This happens to me every single day.
My procedure is to step away from my laptop and do something that completely takes my focus away from what I'm writing for a few minutes. I juggle, draw, do push-ups... whatever. The idea is to let the idea be fully absorbed by your subconsciousness...
I think a vastly overlooked mythology is that of hinduism.
✅ Gods and Angels, including a complete pantheon almost completely parallels the greek deities.
✅ Demons (Asuras)
✅ Elves and nymphs (gandharvas and apsaras).
✅ Furries (Yakshas. These are basically the spirits of the wilderness of...
I'm quite naturally talented at juggling. I've never seriously practised it, but I can just about juggle five balls (14 catches) as well as learn complex patterns rather quickly.
I mean, I'd prefer to be a naturally talented cook/musician/literally anything, but I'll take what I can get!
A...
I'm the black sheep in a family of really talented artists and musicians! My mum is a talented artist, my dad is a talented singer and my sister is a musical prodigy and an exceptionally skilled artist.
I ended up in physics. Family conversations usually don't feature me much. :(
However, I was...
I don't blame you for finding it hard to quit looking at content that upsets you. Internet addiction is a real thing.
From what you wrote, I'm assuming that you're taking a passive approach to moderating your internet use, relying on discipline. However, for the vast majority of people...
WARNING: rant incoming.
Genuinely hurts my heart to see the number of folks on here who think mathematics is useless. I honestly don't get it - why do subjects like art, English, the social sciences and so on get the pass whilst mathematics gets crapped on constantly? Y'all happily learn to...

Normally, Wyatt would have found Isla's sassy response hilarious.
However, with the gnoll in his presence, Wyatt didn't even bother to respond to her. He was certain that Isla would be singing a completely different tune if she'd but heard the stories of the...
Meanwhile, Wyatt was hurrying along the corridors of the dorm like a headless chicken until-
'God damn it Wyatt, you just learned your lesson!' he mentally chided himself.
He stopped, then thought about what to do.
"I.. want to get to the guild hall. Guild halls are loud. Hence, if I want to get...

Wyatt was from the northwestern lands where tieflings were quite rare. Additionally, as the son of an aristocrat, he wouldn't have been allowed near a tiefling even if there were any around.
Beltari was the first tiefling he'd ever met - he'd no idea that tieflings were resistant...
@TheFalconSinOfLies @thefierysiren @OrWangatan
Wyatt's entire fighting style - if one could even call it that - was based around firing lightning from a given metal and just dodging until the metal returned to charge equilibrium: he was very, very good at dodging.
However, as Beltari's blade...
@BFabulous
Roya was much, much faster than Wyatt.
"Hey! Where are you- " he began before smelling the smoke for himself. "Oh. That... doesn't smell too good."
He hurried along after Roya, but given that she was literally leaping over people he lost sight of her pretty quickly.
Wyatt paused. The...
I was walking home from university a month ago at 10:30pm (I live in a very safe city so it's no biggie).
A man was following me - he was about 20 metres away from me at any given time. I took a winding path, but sure enough he'd be on my tail. I started getting more and more freaked out...

I wasn’t aware that “a light-hearted rp about completing jobs, making friends and overall having fun” also included sexual assault.
Do you even have @TheCoRgiGaL ’s consent to do that with her character? Even if you do, a trigger warning might be well placed over there.
Wyatt was in complete shock when he saw Roya's crystal magic.
Metals were, as per current understanding, thought to be crystalline structures with an 'electric fluid' that flowed within them. It was hard enough manipulating the purest of metals; the majority of a magical engineer's education was...
@BFabulous
"Yup!" said Wyatt, whose typical foolish grin was now plastered on his face. He was overjoyed at how things were turning out.
"I draw out the current from a conductive material and use it for a bunch of things. Magical engineers use it to power machines and diagnose faults, but I've...
@MaraZipan @Lenny2000
If Wyatt had realised that people were laughing at him, he didn't really care. He grinned up at Acamen as the guild-master gracefully accepted his offering.
At the same time, he caught sight of what he thought to be a teenager with a heavily scarred face - the teenager...
My worldview is scientific.
At the small scale level, I believe that the scientific method is the best bet we have to understand the world around us. I also believe that the advancement of science should be one of humanity's main priorities, if not the main priority. The achievements of science...
Festivals in Holbeck were enormous affairs, especially those that were sponsored by the greater guilds. Naturally, every trader and merchant in a fifty mile radius would make a beeline for the city, hoping to get good positions in order to sell their wares.
Kach had woken up at 3AM in order to...
