It’s really quite depressing. For anyone not in the know, Changeling: the Dreaming’s main conflict is the rise of Banality (depression, adulthood, bureaucracy, the wasteland), versus the slow and inevitable leeching of Glamour (childhood, creativity, art, fantasyland) from the world. Psychologists and cubicles are just as deadly as Kithain and Fomorians, and as you can imagine, this narrative trends towards horrific in a way you just don’t really get with other fictional settings. Everything good in the world is going to lose. You can never go home. Winter is coming to the Autumn World.

Hmm but a Warlock’s relationship with their Patron doesn’t involve worship (otherwise they’d be a Cleric), so can you really “convert” someone?

I love this instance. Thank you so much guys, all this Meta stuff has been a bee in my bonnet. Forgive the pun.

As a teenager, I remember using my family's phone service to load creepypastas onto a tiny Kindle - a trickle of bad scary stories one after the other. I would get on Reddit where, sometimes sure, I would browse r/nosleep, but I was never completely satisfied by the content there. There were cheesy YouTube narrations. There was r/FearMe. We cut to today and I'm getting my horror fix through podcasts like Knifepoint Horror or rereading the House of Leaves (great book), but I still kind of miss the forum vibe of those community-contributed stories. What websites do the rest of you use to scare yourselves? What are your favorite spooky stories? How have your tastes changed and is there anything you guys miss that we might rebuild here in the Fediverse?

It was hiding inside a copy of The Advancement of Learning and Novum Organum, by Francis Bacon. I’m not familiar with the contents honestly? Still. It’s heartwarming getting to see this very human thing and interesting to wonder why it was stuck here of all places.

I understand and fully support this move. Though I won’t pretend to know anything about social media growth or moderating, I’ll trust that this is going to allow the community to grow into its quality <3

I’ve seen a little bit of the subreddit on my front page(?) already, kudos! Honnestly your aplomb to posting and trying to contribute, even recreating a favorite community, is very reassuring. I have high hopes for the Fediverse :)

Thank you so much for this guide! Hearing of his passing hurts and I hope his fans, friends, and family alike can find solace in the great works he has made. God knows this has finally convinced me to give Blood Meridian a try.

I’ll pitch in my appreciation and say thank you for accepting me! I love Beehaw already :)
