[WP] Reddit had a blackout. Everyone thinks it was for server updates or maybe a glitch, but that's just a convenient cover for the REAL reason...

[WP] An elf adopted a human after finding them in a ransacked village, obviously the poor thing is traumatized why else would they be screaming "put me down you crazy woman" and "I'm almost 30 I'm not a child."

[WP] You’ve been sent an invitation to an academy you didn’t know ever existed. Turns out, this academy is where they train new folkloric characters (Cupids, Tooth Fairies, Grim Reapers, Sandmen, Boogeymen, etc.) and you’ve been selected to participate in their most prestigious program.

[WP] You run a support group for the supernaturals who just don’t fit in. Deaf sirens, minimalist dragons, vampires with iron allergies, and more are all part of your little community.

[WP] - The vampire steps out, and his daughters cower and kneel where they stand. You ready yourself for the fight. Before you can raise your weapon, though, the vampire sighs, and with an embarrassed tone, says, “I’m really quite sorry for the trouble…”

[WP] They call you an "eldritch horror". They say you drive humans insane with your incomprehensible cosmic revelations. They you're evil and want to end the world or something. LIES AND SLANDER! All you ever intended was to uplift these ungrateful savages from their primitive existence!

[WP]Jesus can turn wine into water. It doesn’t seem that impressive when other people have started to get powers, but everyone forgets humans are 60% water.

[WP] Nobody ever gave much thought to the abandoned house at the end of the road, until your friend goes there alone one night because of a dare. Just before morning arrives, you awaken to loud knocking on your door. A vampire in a party hat is carrying your friend's unconscious body in her arms.

[WP] "Perhaps in another time, in another life, I could have called you friend." The Dark Lord looks to the Hero as he closes his eyes and passes on. When he opens them again the Hero is still there, but the world is different. New. The Hero smiles. "Bro, we doin' this?"

[WP] Having alien roommates is... an experience, especially foe the first time. You get a real deep dive into their daily routines and habits. I was both lucky and unfortunate that my first roommate was a Human.

[WP] Everyone is born into this world with gray eyes, but they become shades of red if you do something evil and yellow if you do something good. Your daughter has had bright yellow eyes for as long as you can remember but one day she comes home from school with dark red eyes.

[WP] Humans are the proverbial "Sleeping Giant," and thus make remarkably good deterrents. A common tactic of the Galactic Federation is to simply call in a human warship, such as the USS "Fuck Around and, FindOut," and simply let it sit nearby. Peace Talks happen within the week.

[WP] During a near-death experience, you came face-to-face with the God of Death, and pleaded to be returned to the world of the living. He granted your request, and sent you away with the chilling parting words: "Why should I regret letting one soul go, when I stand to gain so many more in return?"
