ok so i’ve had this idea sitting in my brain for a bit and i just wanna throw it out somewhere before i forget it

what if the seven deadly sins weren’t like… evil monsters or people suffering from them

and instead they were just normal people with jobs that basically lead other people into the sin

like not in a forced evil way, more like… they just make it really easy for people to fall into it without realizing

for example

gluttony isn’t some gross fat guy or whatever, he’s just a really good chef who runs a restaurant. people go there once and keep coming back because the food is insanely good and comforting and it slowly just becomes part of their life

pride is like a makeup artist / stylist. he’s not vain or anything, he just helps people look their absolute best. but his clients start getting kinda addicted to that version of themselves and never wanna go back

wrath runs a rage room where people go to break stuff and let anger out. it’s healthy at first but then some people start going there because they want to feel angry just to use it

stuff like that

the sins aren’t really evil, they’re just… systems or roles in society that kind of guide people toward extremes without forcing anything

i don’t really have a full story or anything yet, i just think the concept is kinda interesting and wanted to see if anyone else thinks it could go somewhere

This is just a question for you all. I’ve got loads of ideas, but I’d be interested to know what you’d like to read. So, MxM, WxW, MxW? No romance? Romance as a subplot? Any unusual genre combinations, like sci-fi and fantasy? Any tropes that might interest you? How gory and brutal can it get?

Let your imagination run wild.

My sister had just given birth, and I visited her to lend a hand. I was enjoying the change of environment. One sunny afternoon, I decided to take a walk, exploring the city's atmosphere. As I strolled down the street, a huge figure emerged from an alleyway, blocking my path. His face was stern, his eyes cold. "Give me your watch," he demanded, his voice intense. Fear seized me. I stood frozen, my mind blank, unable to utter a word or make a move. "If you don't give me the watch, I'll give you a short sleeve," he said, reaching behind him and pulling out a machete. The sight of the blade sent a jolt of terror through me. I didn't hesitate; I turned and ran, the man ran after me.

He was gaining on me, and I knew I had to get away. I rush across the street, glancing back to see him right behind me, the machete raised. Just as he was about to step into the road after me, an Alibaba delivery truck appeared seemingly out of nowhere, slamming into him. I didn't stop to look back. I ran until I reached my sister's apartment, my heart pounding in my chest, the image of the machete still vivid in my head. I have never gone outside since then.

“I had this Teen Wolf fanfiction idea in my head what if she returns to Beacon Hills after a few years, and Stiles has a darkness inside that never fully left? After one strange night, something starts changing inside her too

A woman in a medieval village was betrothed to a corrupt lord, which was expected to be a loveless, servile marriage. She utterly refused, fled to another town and took refuge there. Her family and the lord were furious, he hunted her down and attempted to take her by force, the local magistrater intervened, stopped them and whisked them away. The magistrater lusted for her first, asked her if she would consider marrying him someday? Which she also utterly refured. "But what would you do to make a living on your own?" "God will provide. Where He guides, He provides." "And how exactly would He provide?" "He'll educate me to be a healer, I wanna study medicine and save lives." Then she shared some "unorthodox" knowledge and practice, which were at odds with the religious superstition at the time. He doubted her, but impressed at her faith, determination, independence and renegade spirit, he found her an abode to lodge and secretly sponsored her.

Then erupted a ravaging plague, many had fallen dead helplessly, while she followed scientific methods, diagnosing and isolating the sick, disinfecting lesions and instruments, regularly washing her hands and apparels, applying medicinal herbs, etc. So with her endeavor, townsfolks treated by her had a far lower mortality rate than the rest of the population, and this aroused suspicion and speculation. Soon she was falsely accused of witchcraft and apprehended by a mob, organized by some charlatans and clergymen who themselves not only failed to treat the plague, but had actually spread the disease by traveling around. They brought her to the magistrate's court for a show trial. The magistrate defended her, but he himself was falsely accused of fornication with her, his objection was shouted over, and death sentence was declared by a mob leader. Imprisoned and awaiting for execution, she prayed for solace and deliverance of her wretched soul.

Next morning at the scaffold, right at the nick of time, the magistrate arrived along with some of her patients whom she saved. They testified her innocence, with their own survival and recovery, and the magistrate pleaded for mercy and offered to banish her instead. Some relented, others still demanded her execution, one brute grabbed her and tried to drag her away. The magistrate instinctively rushed in, struck down the brute, snatched her and saddled her on a horse. The mob went frenzy, they overwhelmed her witnesses and defenders, coming for blood. As the situation was out of control, the magistrate hopped on the horse and scurried off with her. One mobster, vowing revenge for the brute, aimed at him with a crossbow, fired a bolt and hit him. They retreated to a hut in the wilderness, where she treated his wound and nursed him back to health. He repented for doubting her and lusting for her, asking for her forgiveness; she forgave him and promised to marry him. "But where would we go and how would we live? Now we're both banished!" "God will provide. Where He guides, He provides." The end.

Hi, I've been working on my idea for a "magical girls" series for a while now (though I don't know if anything will come of it). I want to share it with you today.

So the general outline of the plot is that the main character (Amelia, 20) suddenly discovers the existence of Magical Girls (and Boys) one day because she happened to be at the scene of a fight involving a Magical Boy (Robert, 54), who saved her.

Something tells Amelia to follow him and later discovers his identity. Amelia also learns about what Magical Girls are and that for years, one of the most powerful Magical Girls (or rather, Magical Persons, as they are non-binary) has been kidnapped by a villain.

Robert must find the descendant of this Magical Person and also the Crystal of this person (because every Magical Girl has a Crystal that gives them powers and helps with regeneration, so without it, they are practically defenseless)(this person had a power of the moon and stars).

At first, Amelia doesn't agree, but after being offered compensation, she agrees, and from that moment on, they search for other Magical Girls and develop a father-daughter relationship.

Oh, and I also have an idea for more characters for this series, for example:

- a nerdy girl with fire powers (because that would actually be an interesting change)

- a badass girl with nature powers (also for variety)

- a corporate rat with water powers

and a few others

Here are a few other ideas for this series:

- Magic uses up a lot of energy and burns a lot of calories, so magical girls have to eat a lot.

- Obtaining power crystals requires sacrifice to obtain them. Fate chooses the moment and only checks whether you're ready or not (and if you don't want it and you get it anyway, you either have to keep it or throw it away, or something). Fate also decides what power you get.

- There's an unknown technique for combining the powers of several crystals by one magical girl, but it's extremely difficult (obtaining a second crystal "legally" is impossible).

- The main magical girl is pink (or rather, pink and black), but she's not the leader, and she also has a prosthetic arm.

- The crystals are hidden in jewelry.

- Magical girls are often scattered around the world; some are in America, others in Japan, and still others even in Sweden.

And that's all. I hope it didn't come out chaotic.

And I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes. English isn't my first language and I'm using Google Translator.

Hello. First time in this sub. I remember when Deadpool interact with Japan comic with one scene point out all might from my hero. So I got me think, why there not Collab between my hero and X-Men. My hero universe is just a reverse x men where 80 percent of humanity have power or quirk. I think it will be really cool to see how x men interact with it. Character like Charles and magneto will interesting to see on how they react. Do you think this Collab could happen?

The MC is also a misandristic woke feminist who only kills heterosexual masculine males regardless of their age.

And she didn't got arrested by authorities because she is a woman.
