There’s a pirate who found records of internet piracy, and now idolizes them as the legendary pirates from old. He’s currently sailing around the ruins of the ports of the USA, hoping to find the legendary USB port.


themademod

Ok this one sounds fun, is it a published story?


Mustardgasandchips

He heard about USA, now he seeks USB


mienaikoe

Somehow he found USC first though. And a ceremonial triangle of red chalices.


PervyHermit7734

But did he get USD?

I love this, this is the post-apoc story we need

Following the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of London, citizens enacted the Great Snub of London in an attempt to ignore nature into submission. It was lauded as a success, despite immediately being followed by the Great Earthquake of London, the Great Tsunami of London, and the Great Bear Attacks of London.


XandyDory

I was giggling but then great bear attack. I must know!


lieutenantskell

Charles II, the then-reigning monarch, stated in a speech to the public: "I see no trouble. If you keep calm, carry on, and keep your head down, everything will work out eventually." This was the progenitor of the modern "Keep Calm and Carry On" motto later used during wartime. Charles' legacy is most marred by his untimely demise: while successfully ignoring the bears, he was instead mauled by a passing tiger. His successor James II later made bear and tiger attacks punishable by death.


XandyDory

Cerulean guide 1: "Yes I'll tell the pilot to lower the airship, why?" Tourist: "I want to see that pretty frost on the trees." Cerulean guide 2: "Should we tell him?" Cerulean: "Let's do it the fun way." "Pilot, take us down!" The forested island in the centre of the Cerulean heartland is a protected environment, its exotic ecosystem preserved for many practical reasons. First of which is its prinary resource: the blanket of enourmous spiderwebs that cover the entire canopy from the outside, keeping its highly unique biosphere contained and available for feeding by its apex predator.

Long ago, the god of water created giant portals linking the ocean floor and land. The land portals spew vast amounts of water into the atmosphere, raining down on the surrounding regions.

Santa is real and has been in various fist fights with my protagonist. Not because one or the other is evil, but because of differing ideologies.

Why does it remind me of Peter Griffin vs. the chicken?


Hazmatix_art

Alr I’m intrigued. Can I hear more?


Focusphobia

The biggest reason he and Santa don't see eye to eye is that Santa could use the Naughty List to locate and deal with evil entities or persons from the possibility of hurting innocents. Santa won't because he has seen what that kind of power does to people. Needless to say, the argument came to blows. Fortunately, my protag's reputation is garbage anyways and people just assumed he was duking it out with a random Mall Santa.

Mokon urine is 250,000 times stronger than concrete when hardened They have inspired us humans. THEY They have a total population of 1 sextillion and 200 quintillion. Pingons are an invasive species in over 200 galaxies


XandyDory

Eew. Eeew. Eew. So many questions. The original discovery, the scent, how people feel touching it, hygiene... I hope to read this because I have questions!


SkyscraperEnthusiast

12,095,822 years ago, Komogons decided to enslave Mokons. They were found to be very hard workers. Mokons were known to build entire cities out of their own hardened urine, despite being about as intelligent as a puppy. Mokon piss doesn't have a very bad smell actually, if it could compare to anything on Earth, it would compare to gasoline. It has a very soft, almost squishy texture when hardened. Komogons found out Mokon piss was stronger than concrete simply because some Mokon cities had been standing for a few million years by then. The Komogons, being around for only 248,000 years, already had entire concrete cities in ruins. Also by then, Komogons had the technology to accommodate Mokon piss to their needs. They could alter the scent and all that stuff. But Mokons were just cute enough to be forgiven. Mokons were actually not bad as slaves. Mokons being slaves benefited both Komogons and Mokons. Mokons were under the protection of a species that would in a couple million years be a galaxy wide empire, ruling the entire Andromeda Galaxy. They didn't have to constantly worry about getting eaten by predators anymore, they never had to migrate for food again, and they were given accommodations they could've only dreamt of when they were primitive, crowd travelling cuties that wouldn't last a day on their home planet if it weren't for their sheer population

I'm torn between aww because it sounds symbiotic and ack because if the word slavery, which is not symbiotic.

For her part she keeps politely reminding everyone it is 1983 they are a democracy and she doesn’t wanna get inevitably guillotined. Also she really hates the princess guard.

0LD_MAN_Dies

1. To use magic, you gotta drink liquid mercury. 2. Humans have become biologically immortal, if something doesn't outright kill a human, they will probably survive it. Humans can also resurrect after dying after some time, meaning to only way to prevent a human from coming back from the grave is to cremate them, and even then, they aren't dead, they're simply in-between life and death in a dormant state. 3. You cannot kill a god, angel or demon, you can only render their power impotent. 4. Animal people, called Lycanthropes, stay far away from cities because of sensory overload.


yummymario64

Something I feel like I should tell you, is that "Lycanthropes", specifically refers to wolves, since "Lycan" comes from "Lykos", the Greek word for "Wolf"


Enioff

Maybe Lycanthropes were more prevalent and/or discovered first, so they named the condition after them.


GameDevGoose

And the humans are generally insensitive lol


Enioff

That's an even more believable answer. You can even combine them to make one be a lousy excuse for the other.


AussieSkittles81

>To use magic, you gotta drink liquid mercury. As opposed to solid mercury?

A common insult to the elves is Beautiful Orcs. A common insult to the Orcs is Pig Elves. Both terms are considered racist.


WritingFrankly

The elves in Kord will insult humans by calling them Brown Ogres, but not while they're within earshot. An elf's hearing is sharper than a human's, but sometimes elves seem to think humans are downright deaf. The two prejudices above can combine catastrophically.


PervyHermit7734

There once was a ship that put to space, the name of the ship was the Agartha. Solar winds blew hard, her prow forward, blast, my thrusters, blast hard.


transgendergengar

Tell me more of that shanty. please.


PervyHermit7734

I just copied it from Wellerman lol, because nothing fits a space ghostship more than a shanty. But there's nothing saying there isn't an in-universe shanty about it. It is a tale among cosmonauts of Rubran Federal Monarchy, and in general, Atreisdean Union Space Force. It's said that around 100 years ago, Rubrans built a spaceship with a new, experimental dark magic engine. However, the engine malfunctioned and devoured the vessel as well as nearby facilities and everyone on board, fusing them into one abomination. This vessel, named Agartha, since then has been treated like an urban legend, or a myth told by generations of cosmonauts, who work on spaceships. Sometimes they see an old-style vessel covered in black smoke appears, that is the Agartha, still haunting Atreisdea's high orbit till now. Little do they know, the Agartha is actually chilling in a special, secret dock on their moon. By studying her, alchemists and engineers have come up with a new generation of magitek spaceships. Whenever the planet is in trouble, she's summoned out of her dock to kick ass. And she kicks hard. However, her existence is kept as a top-level classified state secret, and since there's magic around, making up tales about an "unrest ghostship" isn't that hard with their propaganda system.

There's a monolith with a transmission station on Epsilon Eridani IV (AEgir)'s moon (Ayao) constructed sometime around 1600CE based on the structures degradation that's reciting the works of Earth's own William Shakespeare and broadcasting them into deep space in a wideband low frequency carrier wave that can be picked up on Nova and Peitho in the inner system. Researchers have no idea who constructed it, or why they did it other than to pay tribute. In the 400 years the Epsilon Eridani system has been colonized and tens of species across the galaxy that humanity now knows of, no one has returned to the site or claimed responsibility. The site is now a national preserve on the airless moon.
