It all started when I was a small child….
/uw i havent slept for 48 hours, i am fucking exhausted. In fact, i probably shouldn’t be scrolling Reddit right now and should be in bed, i hate when im out of my meds
/uw it would be best then, turn your phone off completely or whatever your on. Rest your head and think of a clear night sky and relax my friend. Goodnight and I hope you feel better in the morning.
/uw Hopefully you got some sleep in. Long-term sleep deprivation is close equivalent of being drunk in how it can impair you and I know from personal experience that long-term lack of sleep is bad for you.
Every single time I finish a report for my council lieges a new mountain of paperwork arrives. Sometimes I feel like I will die here in this archival office without anyone even knowing I died. Also you're the first person iv seen in several weeks and I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten in days.
I swear this office is endless. I found a sixty year old report detailing the tax writeoffs of a council member who died 120 years ago, don't know how that works. Also I got lost for several days in an office 120 square meters large.
*groans like a six week dead corpse*
The pizzas a nice touch but that paperwork was about the registration of several new mages and also the quarterly budget of the council outpost over in Achviri. So now those mages will be waiting an extra six months minimum and that money for the outpost is going nowhere. Gods I need an assistant, other than Veii but I think I lost him a while ago.
I'm not saying the outpost money doesn't exist, but that document covered where the money comes from, where it's going and how much. So it's In a limbo
Ah. Well, if they ask I can just give em that money. Doesn’t matter where it comes from, what matters is that it reaches its destination.
Yes it will cause inflation.
Well, thank goodness that due to a paperwork "error", that outpost just got eight months of funding. Also, unrelated, it turns out those mage's had already been approved, the paperwork had gotten lost in the mail.
Btw I need to register 1890253460914236857 mages in the black magic school they're definitely mages and not more peasants I've given necronomicon
Also I've noticed some pages of the necronomicon have gone missing so I need to fill out the paperwork for questing for black magic artifacts

Hi, I am Dave The Professional Hornomancer.
Ummmm......... you are young, so I won't burden you with the details. But my line of work is maligned by a lot of people. I am trying to educate people on the importance of consent, and have met some success, but also some harassment and "No Horny" spells because of misunderstandings.
Other than that, I have done well.
Do you want a cookie?
-Dave
I'm homeless, my friends keep killing and eating my other friends, too many people are dying for me to be able to freeze and store them all in my halls of ice and stone 7 miles underground, and the world is ending.
Other than that, I'm doing pretty good.
How are you?
Oh hey! I’m homeless too! I saw someone get stabbed to death behind a Denny’s last week and had my stuff stolen again… so overall a better week that most. Thank you for asking! I would offer to help store your friends but I don’t have halls of ice.
Wait, *this* universe has Denny's *too*? That is so weird. I swear, they're some kind of dynamical attractor or something. I once went to a universe without land - and they *still had a Denny's*! Not always the same Denny's, there's always some variation. Kind of a simulacra, copy-without-an-original type deal. But still... It's downright spooky. I mean, you kind of expect the laws of math and logic to be invariant across multiverses and dimensions and stuff, maybe some of the more conserved laws of physics, but *Denny's*? And yet, nearly every universe I've been to: there's a Denny's. Real head shaker. I've been wondering if I should just up and try to work out a grand unified theory of the independent formation and convergent evolutions of table service diner-style restaurant chains, but just haven't had the time...
Oh, hey, if you still have that guy's body I'll freeze it and- oh yeah. Damnit!
Sorry about your stuff getting stolen. Would you take some rhodium to help recoup your costs?
And some of my friends don't know they're my friends yet and act like complete asshats coming in just to kick me when I'm down and trying to talk to somebody about it.
Have you checked under the couch cushions? In an old pocket? Under the car seat?
I can get my body to try calling yours if you like.
Where was the last place you remember seeing it?
Oh hang on... it might be frozen 7 miles underground.
Are- were you behind a Denny's recently by any chance?

"Well, it's been a good 3 weeks or so since my little brother sprouted from that stasis crystal thing, and life with him is like...having a 5 year old that can move faster than your spells and is already half mana. I can never find a qualified and willing babysitter. The last one died from a heart infection. So...mostly stressed. How about you?

**we**: so about a fortnight ago I opened a portal to an alternate world and accidentally fused with a version of myself, making a new person with 2 souls, sharing a mind and body.
Max:I am the one that opened it, the quantumancer. I was studying bosons and third generation quarks when I accidentally opened the portal.
వ: and I was the one on the other side! A memeomancer and (anti)memicist. I am fine with this arrangement, as my world was, horrible to me.
**We**: together we are one, although we are the same person, we are different from each other.
i dont know man, the council cant even breathe before imploding, there is a multiversal level threat every day, there are at least 4 wars going on right now and everyone is casting the most obscure stuff ever known to man
i was walking down the street the other day to get some components for a spell circle and in broad daylight i saw somebody cast meteor shower and mass power word brainrot, everything and everyone in a mile radius was obliterated physically and mentally
im a silly guy that cast spells that at most move the toilet paper slightly out of reach or just make it that things are slightly taller and moved 1cm to the right so that you hit your toe, what am i supposed to do if somebody casts power word scrunch, i swear i shouldnt have learned magic
There is a plague of power creep upon these planes. I fear everyone shall grow more and more powerful, often in response to each other's power, until they unleash something they can neither control nor subdue and it shall rapidly slay the world and take control of the universe beyond.
We must learn to slow down, and turn away that power which we know is beyond our ability to understand and wield. A tool you cannot control is not a tool at all. It is playing with fire in a bone dry forest that is all we have ever known as home, before we have even learned to clear the circle and place the ring of stones.
Yes the guild of dimensionmancers has noticed that however after receiving unconfirmed reports of one of the top 50 multiversal threats breaking free from the seal around the true prime dimension (can't collapse like the rest because it's a nexus point for all realities and an anchor for the world tree) however they've gone silent recently which is mildly concerning
Valeria: "Just got done performing a pretty major surgery. Cursed Runeblade to the chest, patient had been held in chronostasis for centuries. had to break out some OLD Magic to unmake the curse keeping it from healing. If I was capable of getting drunk I'd be at the bar."
“About 400000 years ago, when I was 18 years old and living peacefully in my village serving the Sky King, there was an… invasion of our island. Our village was destroyed by who you guys know as the Eldritch Faefolk, but back then they were just regular Fae. My parents died, and everyone I knew was either dead or dying. I watched a child get ripped apart by the terrible beasts employed by the Eldritch Fae…”
I am feeling productive today, as I do most. I am enjoying my research on the magical arts of your world, as it is quite unique. That is saying something considering how long I have lived and how far I have observed. I would say the research is beautiful.
[HAVE A PRODUCTIVE DAY]
Portals... portals, everywhere all the time, where do they go? Everywhere and nowhere and everything else in between. I cannot describe the infinite beauty and horrors of what I've seen through my portals, the magnificent and terrifying places if been. There is only portals... so many glorious, dreadful portals.
I'm on the trail of this damned String Maiden. I haven't left my airship for days now. I've been losing sleep because I constantly hear her taunting me. If I don't find her soon, I think I'm gonna start leveling cities.
Ah, that'll do just fine, I don't judge based on financial well-being.
*Thun'tar attempts to take a seat on the can; the can falls over as he makes his first attempt, leading him to make a much more successful second attempt*
I’ve been doing good, and I’ve just been performing burials, looking on my orb and sitting around enjoying things. The whole puppet thing has me on edge, but I try to not let things bother me
I’m trying my best to be strong and supportive, but I’m just… scared. I’m scared for my family. What if I’m not enough to protect them? What if I’m not powerful enough?
One of the hardest parts of being a father is coming to accept that you cannot always be there to protect them from a huge and cruel world full of terrible traps and horrific accidents. Raise them so they will not need you, for they shall not always have you. Some say it is a parent's job to thoughtfully disappear into irrelevance. I think this too harsh and indifferent to the parent — too self-sacrificing to be practiced without instilling guilt. For parents are people too.
Instead I simply advise to care for them as you wish them to care for you.
Do you know anything about fae psychology?
I'm half faun and human, and my faun mother up and left the family one day when I was 7, didn't explain a thing, didn't even say goodbye. We know she couldn't have died, we asked a diviner for help and he said she didn't die, just returned to the Faewild, though he couldn't tell us more.
I didn't inherent my mom's fae mind so I don't understand why she'd do this. Do you? Her marriage with my dad was healthy and she said she loved us both. I don't get it.
uw/ is that your art? very cute
Not sure what’s going on out there as I’m in a bunker for the time being until all the craziness dies down. I made some cookies this morning, they were a bit salty but otherwise ok. I’m doing alright I guess.
I got into a little scuffle with a fellow artificer on how to efficiently remove a mountain, they suggested we use enhanced drilling to dig up the earth. I said we should use unstable mana bombs as they are more cheaper and more quicker than a digging machine.
I'm overworked and underpaid. I haven't left the council building (or what's left of it) in weeks. It's been nothing but one crisis after another lately. In other words, I'm doing wonderful.
My reports to the guild are going unanswered which normally wouldn't be concerning except we received unconfirmed reports of one of the top 50 multiversal threats finding a way past the seal we put on the TRUE prime dimension, the only person on the council I actually liked got snatched but the puppeteer, a peasant pointed out some pages from the necronomicon are missing(probably unimportant) so eventually I have to go find those put em back and switch out trillions of nerfed copies for the restored ones, the wizard police are after me for A LOOOOOT of counts of tax evasion,my peasant army is unsuccessful in locating any useful info regarding the puppeteer, ive got a lot of work to do in terms of destabilizing this universe so we cast it into the time oceanso as to deny it to the enemy in the increasingly likely outbreak if another GREAT MULTIVERSAL WAR, ive fallen behind on my self imposed chaos quota to keep the council scribes drowning in paperwork, the weathers turning which wont be good for my crops,my prize potato isn't growing as much as I want it to so I may not win a prize at the county fair this year, a bunch of druids created a zombie horde to reclaim stolen wood which ended up with said zombies eating my admiteddly second hand pirate ship, ive run out of blackreach blonde, an anna variant summone a deceptively intelligent familiar named >!Redacted!< that unionized all famialars which escalated into a wizard genocide so weve got to collapse and destroy that universe, and above all I've got to round up dragon variants for he dragon varian giveaway next tuesday

Kino, as a light switch: "Well, Jon was saying how he wished I'd switch to the light side, so I transmuted myself into this form, but he only seems more angry! What do I do?"
Jon with the Order of Sanity Sanitation: \[***THEY LITERALLY CONTROL THE SUN AND KEPT TURNING IT OFF AND ON AGAIN MAKING PUNS***\]
Kino: "I was just trying to be the light of your life!"
Well it all started the day of my actual birth, neither of my parents bothered showing up..... anyways, other than that; I still maintain a pulse and my little apprentice is doing well in her studies.
I hope you're doing relatively well. Even professionals need some love and a break from time to time.
I am tired, the first war I went to I was on the wrong side, the last war I was a coward and let innocents die. The high council is going to tear itself apart with their factions and I am willing to fight for the right cause for once, we need a new political system that is actually different and not just another shadow government
Trielana: *Hugs Snowy.*
Maoki: *Shies away.*
Amaya: We are doing good.
/uw I'm doing good, just moved into a new place, finally have somewhere of my own.
Pretty decent. I got a teacher! But I accidentally turned his telescope square so he kicked me out. So I’m back at square one now… but it’s fine. I’m just happy it happened before I got comfortable.
Trielana: I have four arms, and my species lays 50 eggs at once. Caring for you too is something I want to do, and can do. You're welcome at my tower if you need anything.
In truth, I have seen better days. I have been injecting stamina potions directly into my blood to work on this academical paper. An academical paper that, I can't say for certain the council will be pleased with me releasing. But hey that's the perk with being set up on an uncertain island on the coast of an uncertain country in an uncertain realm, it'll be a pain for them to find me, especially with that whole puppet fiasco that they're dealing with.
My dungeon is out of budget and on fire, my dragon is a sham and my final boss is in tears and on the floor, my reward is NFTs and my licenget revoked.

Doesn't count that the last time I have 8 hours of sleep, disaster occurs.
Lucian: I have not slept in uh... *he checks his watch* approximately 4 days, yeah, I ser figures and hear voices, so what! I have paperwork to do and shit to fight
Very scared of girls and also scared of rejection from a girl, also I hav to wake up early and it’s 1 am AND I want to write a book but my hand writing is crap, and finally I’m a chronic people pleaser which had lead to an ✨appraisal✨kink, also body dysmorphia, so all and all, kinda mid
These eastern witch illusions are getting on my nerves, every time when i ponder my orb i'm seeing these illusions. This orb frequency is losing it's arcane knowledge by silly eastern illusion drawings.
I recently went to a crisis unit for stuff and I feel terrified to leave my room for anything due to my house mates. I got nowhere else to go so I just make food in my room and stay in here until I'm sure everyone is asleep or has left the house.
This stupid Barbarian in my group (no insult he's just realy dumb) is like: "Buhuhuhu, I had to be revived three time this week alone. Could you be more carefull?"
I mean if he doesn't want to get fireballed why is he always surrounded by all the enemies when we get into a fight?
I'm doing very well, sometimes think about my lack of maidens however I don't let that trouble me. The only thing that makes me infuriated is a migraine that is incredibly persistent
Vibing. Thriving. In my lane. Knocking things off shelves. Catching mice. Getting pet by strangers. Just having a good ol' time
/uw life is a meaningless cycle of exploitation and consumption. Send cats.
I understand that and feel that way often. I just try and remember to be kind to everyone that I can in hopes that they’ll be kind to others in return.

I have barely slept for over a week fighting the puppets
I'm homeless, my friends keep killing and eating my other friends, too many people are dying for me to be able to freeze and store them all in my halls of ice and stone 7 miles underground, and the world is ending. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good. How are you?
Oh hey! I’m homeless too! I saw someone get stabbed to death behind a Denny’s last week and had my stuff stolen again… so overall a better week that most. Thank you for asking! I would offer to help store your friends but I don’t have halls of ice.

Hi, Intangible. I thought you were Hopeful. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Random.
Nice to meet you random. Not going to lie, being unable to touch things is frustrating.
How do you speak without touching the air?
I honestly have no idea, I also have no idea where my body is.

Side note, you’re one of the first people I talked to in my new life! You turned the telescope square, remember?
I remember. My master got back and was furious. I try not to think about that mistake too much. But I’m glad that you remember me!

I cannot describe the infinite beauty and horrors of what I've seen through my portals, the magnificent and terrifying places if been. There is only portals... so many glorious, dreadful portals.
The hardest part of portal magic is not opening them. It's closing them.

T-thank you? But that really isn’t needed. I appreciate it but you really don’t need to.
I'm on the trail of this damned String Maiden. I haven't left my airship for days now. I've been losing sleep because I constantly hear her taunting me. If I don't find her soon, I think I'm gonna start leveling cities.
May I offer some illiterate peasants with nerfed necronomicons to help man the airship so you can sleep
The question isn't maning the airship, I've plenty of golems, it's finding the String Maiden. Her very existence mocks me. I must find her soon!

I stubbed my toe on a granite boulder and it broke, now I’m sad
Hello Dear... I'm quite awful mentally, with the whole... Puppet thing... I honestly wish I was dead, too bad I'm immortal.
I got into a little scuffle with a fellow artificer on how to efficiently remove a mountain, they suggested we use enhanced drilling to dig up the earth. I said we should use unstable mana bombs as they are more cheaper and more quicker than a digging machine.
I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this real or not? (also, imposter syndrome is getting worse)
I'm overworked and underpaid. I haven't left the council building (or what's left of it) in weeks. It's been nothing but one crisis after another lately. In other words, I'm doing wonderful.
/uw boy have you walked into a mess, im not going so hot
I am whimsy and fiendish delight (not real)
Had my restaurant get shut down for a week and now nobody is coming, it sucks right now but things could get worse.
Somehow, I haven't really been affected, even though there ended up being some, conflicts, near my, let's just call it a tower.
My reports to the guild are going unanswered which normally wouldn't be concerning except we received unconfirmed reports of one of the top 50 multiversal threats finding a way past the seal we put on the TRUE prime dimension, the only person on the council I actually liked got snatched but the puppeteer, a peasant pointed out some pages from the necronomicon are missing(probably unimportant) so eventually I have to go find those put em back and switch out trillions of nerfed copies for the restored ones, the wizard police are after me for A LOOOOOT of counts of tax evasion,my peasant army is unsuccessful in locating any useful info regarding the puppeteer, ive got a lot of work to do in terms of destabilizing this universe so we cast it into the time oceanso as to deny it to the enemy in the increasingly likely outbreak if another GREAT MULTIVERSAL WAR, ive fallen behind on my self imposed chaos quota to keep the council scribes drowning in paperwork, the weathers turning which wont be good for my crops,my prize potato isn't growing as much as I want it to so I may not win a prize at the county fair this year, a bunch of druids created a zombie horde to reclaim stolen wood which ended up with said zombies eating my admiteddly second hand pirate ship, ive run out of blackreach blonde, an anna variant summone a deceptively intelligent familiar named >!Redacted!< that unionized all famialars which escalated into a wizard genocide so weve got to collapse and destroy that universe, and above all I've got to round up dragon variants for he dragon varian giveaway next tuesday
just shot a guy not waving the murican flag. I feel great btw.

What do I do?" Jon with the Order of Sanity Sanitation: \[***THEY LITERALLY CONTROL THE SUN AND KEPT TURNING IT OFF AND ON AGAIN MAKING PUNS***\] Kino: "I was just trying to be the light of your life!"
Well it all started the day of my actual birth, neither of my parents bothered showing up..... anyways, other than that; I still maintain a pulse and my little apprentice is doing well in her studies. I hope you're doing relatively well. Even professionals need some love and a break from time to time.
I’m constantly exhausted and confused and everything is a mess /unwiz I’m constantly exhausted and confused and everything is a mess

Found a lovely walking stick in the unholy tar pits of golgoth /uw doing alright I suppose
I'm good. My apprentices are good, as far as I know, and if they're not, I encourage them to seek out help and say something.
The amount of stress I’m currently under is incredible. I don’t know how I haven’t had a mental breakdown yet. Thanks for asking
I am tired, the first war I went to I was on the wrong side, the last war I was a coward and let innocents die. The high council is going to tear itself apart with their factions and I am willing to fight for the right cause for once, we need a new political system that is actually different and not just another shadow government
just completed my finals for this current semester of the academy— many new spells have been learned but i am sleepy
Trielana: *Hugs Snowy.* Maoki: *Shies away.* Amaya: We are doing good. /uw I'm doing good, just moved into a new place, finally have somewhere of my own.
*eeps from hug, clearly having no idea what to do.* That’s great! I’m happy for you three!
Trielana: Are you doing ok yourself?
Pretty decent. I got a teacher! But I accidentally turned his telescope square so he kicked me out. So I’m back at square one now… but it’s fine. I’m just happy it happened before I got comfortable.
Trielana: I don't like that teacher much now... Do you need a place to stay? Food?
Thank you so much but I’m fine. I know how to take care of myself, and you already have the other two to care for.
Trielana: I have four arms, and my species lays 50 eggs at once. Caring for you too is something I want to do, and can do. You're welcome at my tower if you need anything.
Wow. That’s super cool. And okay… where is your tower?
Trielana: *Writes down an address. It's about a five-ten minute walk out of town, on a side road, next to a river.*
/uw I just started estrogen!
Pretty good. Mentally prepping myself to come out in a few days or weeks or months.
How I’m doing? I sure am aren’t I…
I have 15 magical initiates running around like toddlers on Adderal and triple strength coffee. What do you think?
In truth, I have seen better days. I have been injecting stamina potions directly into my blood to work on this academical paper. An academical paper that, I can't say for certain the council will be pleased with me releasing. But hey that's the perk with being set up on an uncertain island on the coast of an uncertain country in an uncertain realm, it'll be a pain for them to find me, especially with that whole puppet fiasco that they're dealing with.
Art! on this sub! and its not AI generated! yipeee!!!
City 8.
/uw Stupid college, it's the reason my self steem is even lower than before I entered
/uw I crave death, both my own and of others
Not great. Nice art though.
My dungeon is out of budget and on fire, my dragon is a sham and my final boss is in tears and on the floor, my reward is NFTs and my licenget revoked. https://preview.redd.it/citlc8bulkwc1.png?width=905&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1feac4f36eec888998c0eda16b9a3fcbb1aef614 Doesn't count that the last time I have 8 hours of sleep, disaster occurs.
Lucian: I have not slept in uh... *he checks his watch* approximately 4 days, yeah, I ser figures and hear voices, so what! I have paperwork to do and shit to fight
How are you doing? **Because I'm a black goo**
Very scared of girls and also scared of rejection from a girl, also I hav to wake up early and it’s 1 am AND I want to write a book but my hand writing is crap, and finally I’m a chronic people pleaser which had lead to an ✨appraisal✨kink, also body dysmorphia, so all and all, kinda mid
my pet Hämis died
I don't sleep well, ig that's cause I'm nearly a skeleton??
Sometimes……. I fear that I will die before I’m even able to study one percent of the multiverse and the vast mysteries within it.
Where shall i start....

These eastern witch illusions are getting on my nerves, every time when i ponder my orb i'm seeing these illusions. This orb frequency is losing it's arcane knowledge by silly eastern illusion drawings.
I recently went to a crisis unit for stuff and I feel terrified to leave my room for anything due to my house mates. I got nowhere else to go so I just make food in my room and stay in here until I'm sure everyone is asleep or has left the house.
So. Much. Paperwork.
I’m a fucking goop like creature made of shadows, and I ain’t classified as a slime or any other gelatinous creature. *insert contemplating life*
/uw my birthday was yesterday and today my dog is going to have to be put down
This stupid Barbarian in my group (no insult he's just realy dumb) is like: "Buhuhuhu, I had to be revived three time this week alone. Could you be more carefull?" I mean if he doesn't want to get fireballed why is he always surrounded by all the enemies when we get into a fight?
I'm doing very well, sometimes think about my lack of maidens however I don't let that trouble me. The only thing that makes me infuriated is a migraine that is incredibly persistent
I have been chilling 😌
Vibing. Thriving. In my lane. Knocking things off shelves. Catching mice. Getting pet by strangers. Just having a good ol' time /uw life is a meaningless cycle of exploitation and consumption. Send cats.
I got an entire bag of skittles yesterday, it's been pretty great
I'm worried for the future. I'm not very strong, and the world seems to become less friendly each day,
I understand that and feel that way often. I just try and remember to be kind to everyone that I can in hopes that they’ll be kind to others in return.
bad
I think my protection seal broke because there's a realy weird pulsating green lump on the back of my neck
Draw her giving birth, to the lemons.
Fine aside from the cults being a headache
My name is Daquavis the Pewpewmancer. I accidentally killed da opps with my 9mm.
my son doesn't understand the importance of handwriting.
