Potion Fail
Hubert was a very bright boy, charming, gifted and ugly. It’s really hard to say that someone is ugly. You can call them “unattractive,” “a little rough,” “kind of plain,” any number ofwww.onedoor.cc euphemisms; but, Hubert was ugly. The other kids called him “Hubie” and laughed at him whenever he came around, but they liked him. They laughed at him and he took it in stride. He did nothing to encourage it and he just let it roll off his back. Kids started feeling guilty.

[TW: War]Real life in a besieged city has never sounded like a fun idea for me. Life in a besieged city within a video game, however, was something I could sit down and enjoy for hours on end.

Thomas The Terrible
Deep in the Olympic Mountains nestled in the corner of Washington state, on the lush and beautiful Olympic Peninsula there once lived a dragon. He isn’t like other dragons, as most of his species have died off or been captured at this point in history. He is a lonely dragon, going by the rather unfitting given name of “Thomas The Terrible.” He didn’t grow up wanting to be terrible in fact; quite the opposite. He was raised by two loving parents, whose names having been translated through endless and beautiful tangles of legends and stories have been completely misrepresented, and due to my bel...
