Writing Prompt [WP]"These new hellscapes are generating 10x the suffering as the old ones. How did you do this and why are they all called heaven?" The demoness adjusts her glasses. "Oh the human gods were already cruel, we just replicated what their scriptures said and hired administers to roleplay their gods."

Writing Prompt [WP] Being a hero sucks. Not because it's dangerous, but because you became a hero before you came out as trans. You really want to transition, but the other heroes are adamant that your hero identity must not change, in order to "preserve the reputation they have built".

Writing Prompt [WP] "I left town because I'm terrified of kid heroes! They have no idea how to hold back and no empathy. They will literally beat you to an inch of your life and then make a comedic quip that causes everyone to laugh like you aren't dying on the pavement..."

Writing Prompt [WP] After finally finding and freeing a wish-granting genie, you wish for the deliciousness of food to directly reflect how healthy it is for you, so that people may eagerly begin eating better. The genie frowns and apologizes, saying he cannot undo the effects of someone else's wish.

Writing Prompt [WP] “You are stubborn!” The phrase was shouted as a near insult, a chastising observation of a character flaw to be corrected. You weren’t listening, but Fate was. And it just so happened that a new Embodiment of Stubborn was needed.

Feel free to swap out ‘stubborn’ for any other adjective if you’d like!

Writing Prompt [WP] Jeffery went to the grocery store to check out the recent albums from his favourite band. "Sorry sir, your food will be ready in π minutes." said the waiter. The king has gotten restless, Private hasn't returned by the ancestral mouth pits. Within the sewers of New Detroit, pony runs free.

Writing Prompt [WP] The priority task for the Abnormal Capacity Department: recovery and containment of Heinrich Koch. Raised rurally, and a carpenter by trade, his capacity to delay time's passage by the strike of his hammer has proven far too strong to simply monitor. Contain Heinrich Koch, and stop Hammer Time.

Writing Prompt [WP] A reality manipulator has been affecting the universe by daydreaming. Not a cataclysmic matter, though, just trivial thoughts that become reality on the fringes of human experience. Flushing the toilet while you sit makes your mouth a vacuum, grapes surgically peeled grow skin again, that sort.

Writing Prompt [WP] You are officially classed as a mage, on your adventure ID, but in reality you can't use magic nor cast spells; thankfully you're superhuman and use that to mimic magic spells.(i.e. magic missile is just you flicking a stone at mach 2😅)

Writing Prompt [WP] The first hint that this was no ordinary restaurant was its towering building - it simply hadn't been there yesterday. The second was the menu - it had only one item: "Everything", which had a price of "Anything". That you couldn't see the walls, only infinite rows of tables didn't help.
