I started to do that too </3 it's a nasty blow to my self-esteem and it's probably my anxiety

You COULD still have typical speed powers but add interesting twists and drawbacks?
For example:
Epinephrine is the adrenaline hormone. Adrenaline makes you alert and hyper as a stress response. Your character's speed could be activated by stress and adrenaline and, additionally, the added drawbacks to constant adrenaline rush + psychological affects.

Idk speed is honestly one of those basic ones that you just need to add things to </3

While I feel like the general consensus is going to be "we don't want ads", I also understand that everything needs funding. My only real issue is on desktop, when in any chatroom/room, the bottom banner ad makes the window to actually see people chatting significantly smaller and it makes it difficult for me, as someone who is visually challenged, to deal with such an informationally-dense page. It's also just generally really irritating and large. I can't speak for any other devices, though ^^"

Vita carnis! have fun vita carnis is so freaking cool

@Johnny.SS
I would really recommend waiting it out until ep 5 or 6; it admittedly takes a bit to get started but imo it's one of the best dinosaur analog horrors :D
(additionally, if you enjoy watching people watch these types of things, Emortalmarcus on youtube also has a series covering prehistoric ^^)

highly recommend prehistoric emergence too, as another dinosaur one :D

Yall i’ve been on this website too long to make an introduction post what. Been literal months but anyways without further ado,

hello bdns! Tis I, your local explorer, detective, and avid educator, Cleo!
I am an advocate for freedom and human rights and rights for minorities, and a modern-day satanist who adheres to TST's fundamental tenets.
I enjoy exploring the fields and the old, abandoned areas around where I live. I’m not like, disconnected from reality in the middle of nowhere but I’m not in a NEIGHBORHOOD. We’ve got a whole lot of wildlife around here, being so close to a nature reserve. Hawks…cyotes…owls…bats… a whole lot of things that fly and go squeak in the night.
I do a whole lot of swimming at my local pool and do a bunch of community stuff at a nearby library.
I spend most of my time, again, exploring, but also playing video games in the competitive speedrunning sphere.
I like:
Dinosaurs
Animals in general
Minecraft
Reading
Embroidery
Music (both playing and consuming)
And uhhh. That’s it? Idk dude.
Hi <:

Wait until you're 18 and/or financially independent, honestly. Unless they're more iffy about it than they are non-supportive, you have decent mental health, and you're in a safe environment, then you can be a little shit and insist that you'll be using they/them pronouns + a new name if you're doing all that. Don't recommend it though. Good luck friend!

Aye. thank you! I didn't get a chance to reply to this when I saw it. The dragon is definitely one of my favourites, and the bird, maren, was my first fully-colored and textured drawing ever so both of them are definitely very important to me :D

@Ren

Odd squad was criminally addictive. it was the only kids show i've ever watched that had an interesting plot set up over SEASONS and i will still watch it now

Mine was wild kratts and odd squad! i grew up on pbs

Yeahh there's DND and I could totally run a non-fantasy setting in DND but I'm not too interested in altering all the classes to fit a non-fantasy setting. Any TTRPGs you'd recommend other than DND, or a less tedious way of making DND in general modern-setting-friendly would be greatly appreciated!

@Cara
Yeah but you have to shuffle your cards to play solitaire ToT I'm talking about a solo game for an unshuffled deck

Solitaire unshuffles my cards and now that I'm playing it for hours on end it would be nice to play another game in between solitaire rounds if that makes sense? :>

Hello friends, folks, and those who align otherwise!
Another scary satanic post from the scary satanic gay man <3

TST, The Satanic Temple, the official name for the main organization of modern-day Satanism, has several holidays that it recognizes just like any other religion! Several of our holidays, whether in solemn remembrance or celebration, are inspired off of history's many holidays.
To start us off with the earliest holiday of the year, we have:

Lupercalia; February 15th
Lupercalia is a holiday based on the roman festival that went by the same name. Unlike the festival, however, Lupercalia only falls on the 15th. It's moreso a day of self-celebration and bodily autonomy. Not only is bodily autonomy one of our tenets, but this holiday is especially meaningful to me as a member of the lgbtq community.

On April 30th is Hexxenhacht
Hexxenhacht is a day of solemn remembrance and honor for those who were victims of superstition such as the witch trials. No one deserves to be imprisoned or attacked or killed over superstition.

On July 25th is Unveiling Day
Unveiling Day marks a milestone in TST when the keystone of this movement, the Baphomet with Children statue by Mark Porter, was unveiled in 2015 in Detroit! The statue was made with "'respect for diversity and religious minorities' in mind" and marks a new beginning of the Satanic Era. Unveiling Day is a celebration of religious plurality and the rejection of outdated religious dogma.

October 31st! Halloween!
I think it's cool that Halloween is an official holiday over here ToT
Being laced with religious dogma and often being called demonic or evil due to said dogma, we rather embrace it as a time to embrace darkness and face your fears with a costume and some candy!

Finally, we have Sol Invictus on December 25th
Sol Invictus is a celebration of freedom and separation from superstition. And promotes "...the pursuit and sharing of knowledge"! This holiday is especially important to me as it gives me an outlet to reflect on my derealization from the Protestant church that I was a member of in my youth and my newfound comfort in Satanism and science.
(and i do still celebrate christmas, just without the christian roots. it's a celebration of happiness and gift giving in my house <3)

It's important to say that not every modern-day Satanist acknowledges every one of these holidays! They're official holidays of TST, yes, but everyone practices them differently!

All of these descriptions are in my own words! To see the original descriptions of each holiday, go here: https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/holidays !
