Here's a rough collection of thoughts pulled out of my first sludge pile, which I filled sometime in 2022. It is a mixture of setting-specific blurbs, wild ideas, and whatever random bullshit crawled into and out of my brain. May my trash somehow become your treasure!
-----
Chronomancy — the reversal of molecules to younger forms
Gustneau's Pet — At what point does artificial life become life?
The Blood and The Body are not the same thing
Communicate through dreams by changing one aspect of the environment at a time.
Lycanthropy is a disease, Vampirism is a curse
Vampires can consume "normal" food and drink without difficulty, and some even take great pleasure in it. It cannot, however, subsist them fully
What DOES happen to tieflings when they die????
Who said that imps (bug-people) learned to speak common? Or that they even have voice boxes? They're magic users, after all
You Reap What You Sow goes both ways
Mimics first teach their children to imitate currency when they hatch
Mimics like the ones from Prey (2017)
Four owls in one's dream is a sign of witchcraft
A firearm that requires hit dice / spell slots / magic dice to fire
Lunar Witches (and by extension, potentially lycanthropes) can hear the moon humming (crying?) to them
POSITIVISM IMPLIES FINALITY // YOU ONLY SPEAK OF LIES // OPEN WIDE
The Solaine have a guilty pleasure of drinking blood tinctured with drugs (what kind?)
"I could wake up as a hundred different people, and it wouldn't change a thing."
The borderline is visibly drawn, strewn with blood and gore
Grinders: Body-Modders
WE ARE NOT MANY / / YOU ARE FEW / / THE GRAIN THINKS ITSELF THE MOUND
Training yourself to have object-permanent dreams
Cogphtram: a drug that makes you perceive yourself as another person
...Do Liches learn to control all their bodily functions by getting super stoned?
FLAW: "I hate people who are in the same position as me"
The imps were not created with telepathy; it was earned, and it can be removed (albeit over generations)
Hypatia was the first of the angels to step foot on Séraphine, perhaps? Importance lies in the fact that the first angel was a devil
A monster that changes intent every time it takes damage
FLAW: "There must be no copies of me. Not reflections, no records, no exceptions"
A calling card that constructs itself out of the victim's blood, either as an object or a puddle
"Rabbit, why must we drink from the bottom of the glass?" / / "Too much tea is bad for your teeth, dear Alice!"
A lightsaber which balances on the shoulder like a greatsword
Third-Leg Magik philosophy
Emotional sign systems
Calling barracks "tombs"
Seeing a group of witches for the first time is a terrifying experience: whispering cacophonies from identical shadows
Airports are fae space
A giant, cylindrical lake at the bottom of a dense jungle gully
An Electric motor in a spaceship that throws thousands of incredibly dense orbee-like balls behind it
"I know people worry they’ve lost too much blood. Don’t worry, you keep making more. Just like tears."
Nailing copper nails into trees to stop them from (re)growing
Iridovirus
Dragons prevent space travel through violence and desolation—Mars was only the beginning, shattered to bits by falling stars
A drug that can't be taken during the day / at sundown
Fungal creatures, using bodies as hosts/greenhouses, would be about as temperature-resistant
The greatest claim any self-proclaimed [enchanter] could make is that they were miraculously immune to propaganda
"See that guy over there? I killed him yesterday, and he doesn't even know it yet"
Goldfish acknowledge space—humans track it
