Today, I wanna talk about one of the funniest spells ever to enter Pathfinder 2e
Tumblr media
Outcast's Curse is a level 4 spell that allows you to ruin the life of any one person who is not themselves a spellcaster.
On a simple Will Save failure, the victim is now permanently cursed to be considered abrasive and irritating by ALL CREATURES. Living or dead. This means you roll ALL charisma checks with disadvantage, and all social interactions start with the other creature dropping 1-2 attitude levels.
Your target is now hated by everything, and everyone, everywhere, forever.
"But wait, you can break the curse by counteracting it!"
You could. You just have to find a 4th level caster, who are exceptionally skilled and difficult to find, and then try to convince that automatically Unfriendly or Hostile caster to uncurse you
While you roll at disadvantage
Just to get your only chance at salvation to be merely indifferent about your wellbeing.

The problem with my art catering to myself is that I see my own drawings and be like "ah yes this art piece is directly catering to my likes. I want more." and there is no more so I have to cater to that demand. I'm an art ouroboros.

You might think that Gerry Keay is super goth as an expression of rebellion against a strict upbringing and that's the stereotype about alternative lifestyles, but let's think about it harder. Given his mother was an actual witch who is described as bald and covered in visible sanskrit tattoos that she put on herself in order to achieve immortality, it's probably more a sign of him adhering to familial custom.
Gerry is basically the equivalent of those Catholic girls that leave the faith but still wear long skirts and dress modestly because, "Well it's what I'm used to, I guess."

So usually when an imaginary friend is a real thing in a story, it’s either a demon or a ghost or some supernatural boogeyman that probably wants to eat the kid they’ve befriended (Mama, a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies), or “imaginary friends” are just treated as a real thing in the setting, and if a child just thinks hard enough they can manifest a friend into existence (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Happy).
And somewhere in the middle is an area where the imaginary friend in question is real and they are supernatural, but they aren’t malevolent, and they aren’t entirely honest about what they are. Like maybe they’re a fairy or a god or some kind of boggle from mythology, but they just got caught by a six year old and they don’t have time to get into it, so they just go “…Yes. I’m your imaginary friend. We haven’t met. How do you do.” And then they stick around because they do love this kid, and if you’re a boggle from mythology in the modern day good food is really hard to come by.
And at some level. That’s what I think Hobbes is.

xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.
And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).
His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"
And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.
The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.
I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."
I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.
So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.
My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.
My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.
Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
