Challenge #00327: A Gru-some Predicament

The minions have unionized and gone on strike

[AN: I just fell over backwards in the bathroom and did something horrible to my right arm. This fillet is being typed left-handed LIKE A BOSS. PS: it’s not broken, but it hurts like fuck]

“DE BA DO! DE BA DO!” the minions chanted, marching in circles in the underground complex that was both their workplace and their home. They carried placards with their grievances.

Alas, they were written in minionese.

“Gu ba de nuka se?” read Lucy.

Gru glared at her. “This is your fault. All your ’freedom’ and ’inalienable rights’… Now they are all wanting the upstairs bedrooms.”

“You can read that?”

“Of course I can read that. I created each and every one of them. I know them like back of my hand.” He sighed. “I just can’t afford what they want. Being hero is not so good on the budget.”

“So move into my place.”

“What, that tiny little flat in city? We’d never fit.”

“Not my cover-place, silly. My secret base place.” Lucy grinned. “I have an island…”

“You have island? How you manage island on hero salary?”

“Oh, some king gave it to me, one time. Want to see?”

Gru got puppy-eyes. “Does it have volcano? I have always dreamed of having villain base on volcano…”

“But you’re a hero.”

“I still have needs!”

New York decides pregnant women are not mere vessels... but it was a close call

wateringgoodseeds:

A man in California (identified only as "S B M" in court coduments) sued a woman ("Sara McK") for "kidnapping" his unborn child. He was not married to her -- in fact, he had broken off their relationship after Ms. McK became pregnant, and married another woman before the…

This is you. This is where all your thoughts are kept. Every other part of your body is used to protect and sustain this. 

I want to cry

it’s weirdly comforting to know that all of the meaningless bullshit society judges me on is just a meatsuit made to support the terrifying tentacle beast that is my true form (◡‿◡✿)

Challenge #00326: Metrics

“This homework has an unacceptably high cussing: work done ratio.”

Going to college was an eye-opening experience. Katie had seen the world, but little was more fascinating than white kids trying to be individuals when their own sphere of experience was very sadly limited.

The fact that she had become a kind of instant guru in her dorm because of her experiences was one shocker. The fact that someone had mistaken ‘in college’ for 'of age’ was

Challenge #00325: The Unnypical

I’m tired of villains being the only representation of people who aren’t 100% mentally typical.  Show me a hero coming out as having anxiety disorder/depression/Asperger’s/something (I know not all of those are equal but you get my drift).  Show me a place in heroics for people like me, that isn’t either as a villain or locked up in an asylum, or both. (Marvelverse or DCverse would be awesome

Are continuations ok as prompts? Because “Bayville by Gaslight” is pretty awesome, as was the Fluttershy-meets-Nightcrawler one…

I’d rather do self-contained instant ficcage for the challenges, but I should really set some time aside to finish my old fanficcery.

Encik Farhan is a scammer.  He backs projects, pledging hundreds or thousands of dollars at the highest tier, and then disputes the credit card charges 1-3 months later, often after his rewards have been shipped.

He pledged $1000 to my campaign, and a few days after I posted an update that backer rewards were being shipped, he filed a charge dispute with his credit card company.  I’m still waiting for the outcome of my appeal, but if

Challenge #00324: Those pesky living authors

Analysing the work of someone still living always runs the risk of “No, that’s not what I meant at all”

Page twenty. Not bad. Especially considering that she’d written it strictly for academia and not for the national newspapers. Her analysis of Hartnell’s greater literary works was getting a lot more notice than she had ever hoped for.

The phone rang. Of course she answered it.

“Hello,” said the voice on the

OKAY SERIOUS TALK GUYS!

This clown has been seen over the past few weeks around Mansfield, Chesterfield and Doncaster, I haven’t seen a post about it on here and I really want people to know about it.

Okay so first of all besides it being really frickin creepy to begin with (designed to look like pennywise the clown) it has been roaming the streets at night time, it was started out by a student film director who was
