Story Quest (Choose your own Adventure Style)

Reading & Writing / by Alone237

March 14th, 2023

...See more If you have read "Choose your own Adventure" books, then you can guess what is a story quest. I will write a story and the readers, YOU, will decide the path the main character will take. I love writing and this will help motivate me to write. If this tickles your fancy, let's choose a story together! ------------------------- Pick a story Option 1️⃣: Breesh Temerária is a Bastão, a human who can shapeshift into a bat. The Bastãos are located primarily in the northeastern region of São Domingos. Breesh, a Bastão of the Diphylla ecaudata species, was born in the most beautiful cave, Terra Ronca. Over generations, her clan of Bastãos modernized the cave, making it a beautiful mansion she calls home. In her clan, the strongest has the last say and civil battles happen on the daily; it is the only method of ranking up, by challenging those of higher ranks. Most Bastãos simply listen and abide to those of higher ranks, while others refuse to take orders unless beaten in a battle. Breesh, since she was a child, has been known to fight over meaningless orders; she wants to reach the same rank as her father or even higher, but that was not her only goal. She has had a deep passion for feathers; she has a dream to collect them all from the various bird species in the world and make crafts out of them. The Bastãos of the Diphylla ecaudata species consume only avian blood and on rare occasions Mammal blood. Breesh Temerária is one of the many sanguivorous huntresses who hunt wild birds in the forest as her clan's secondary food source. A few of their kind farm outside of the national park, Terra Ronca, raising chickens and roosters for both profit and as the primary food source for their clan. Their product name, Frango do Mestre, is widely known in Brazil with its logo being a silhouette of chicken with bat wings. Like most Bastãos, Breesh's clan is very old fashioned and works much like a gypsy-mafia hybrid, unafraid of out-casting or even killing those who do not wish to serve the clan, and also not allowing their kind to breed with other races; breeding with different species was only slightly acceptable, but still frowned upon. The clan is extremely proud of their species uniquely short ears; padless, short thumb; and large, shiny eyes when they're in their tiny beast form. Breesh's story begins with a mission. Instead of hunting wild birds, she was assigned to hunt a Bastão who seemingly forgot his place. This was also an opportunity for her to rank up in her clan. Option 2️⃣: The grounds were far from flat, several hills and mountains made up Mamaley. Their trees were large, but scattered throughout the lands. You would find many Centaurs populating the open fields within valleys where the land was somewhat plain. They are hunters and never feared to be hunted. In the lands of Mamaley, where centaurian beings roam, a young hero was asked to come forth by the Chief of Mamaley. Years ago, the Mamaleyans gave birth to a new centaurian being; it was not four-legged, but two, so this form was called an Ipotane. Faulin was the name of this Ipotane; she was the first of her kind. She was a symbol to the centaurians of the union of humans and themselves, but as she aged, her beauty became more apparent, then she was kidnapped. The Chief feared it was one of their own who caused this mischief, so this resulted him seeking aid from outside his herd. Now, the story beckons this new hero on a mission to save Faulin, a beautiful young maiden, from what has befallen her... ------------------------- Both stories are 100% original and are mine. The first image is not mine, but the second was paid to an artist as a commission. ------------------------- Rules This is not a place to chat. Only respond with the emojis corresponding with the options. Everyone is welcome to vote. In this case, vote by posting 1️⃣ or 2️⃣. You can type 1 or 2 also. When I post "Vote is closed," please wait for the next segment of the story. Depending on how many votes I get, I may close the vote after 24 hours, so I can start writing the next segment of the story.

Is my perspective unrealistic?

Friendship Support / by Alone237

January 18th, 2023

...See more Hello, Call me Sachi. My husband feels I have an unrealistic desire of having a best friend. Let me describe to you this ideal friend: 1) we chat regularly, 2) we hang out at least once a week, and 3) okay with friend cuddles. I have friends. Sure, but none of them talk to me regularly. Exhibit A) The ones that did either fell in love with me or left me or I left them. The friend who fell in love with me was of the opposite gender. They knew I was married, but I felt comfortable with them and I spoke with them regularly. They were also my co-worker at the time. Because he admitted to have feelings for me, it hurt our friendship. He asked for space. Eventually, we talked again, but it wasn't the same. Exhibit B) The friend that left me, seemed to be a pushover/people pleaser. She never really spoke her mind. One day, she blew up at me because I teased her for standing me up (I invited her to do karaoke and she cancelled last minute). She started insulting me saying I am immature and selfish. I don't tolerate being insulted, so I told her if she continued, our friendship was over. She continued, so we blocked each other. Exhibit C) This other friend was a no-brainer. I got molested at her house and she didn't believe me. In fact, she said I was being dramatic. I cut her out of my life real-quick. I'm really good at that too. Cutting out toxic people. Its so sad though. I wish I had someone who just clicked and we can talk everyday and not get tired of each other. Exhibit B was the closest thing I had to an ideal friend. We spoke everyday. Hung out at least once a week. Why is that hard to find? I sometimes feel its my area. The people in my area are very self-centered. Also, I feel my age is another factor. People at my age (31) already have their friendships and don't need more. Has anyone made a friend around my age who became their bestie? I wish I had a bestie. I have whatever friends who talk to me once in a blue moon. I made a few new friends, but they either live far or not chatty enough to be my bestie. I would accept a long-distance bestie if they played video games with me regularly or face-timed. Am I being too unrealistic?

Only ENM or Poly-folks

Relationship Stress / by Alone237

August 2nd, 2022

...See more Hello, I recently started being ENM, ethically non-monogamous. My husband promised after he finished school, we can explore being ENM. Sadly, his PhD keeps delaying. He was supposed to "finish" 2 years ago. I decided I didn't want to wait anymore, and told him I wanted to start my ENM journey. He was pretty upset at first then SEEMED accepting. Lately, he has been giving negative vibes when I text a potentially new partner. Even after a fun-filled day of us spending quality time together. I matched with a girl who openly admitted to being UNethically non-mongamous and he compared me to her saying I am the same. Not true, I told MY HUSBAND that I want to try this lifestyle. This other girl only HINTED to her partner about being non-monogamous, then is on dating site without him knowing. If my husband wasn't comfortable with me being ENM, we can file for a divorce. My husband choose to stay, meaning he chose to deal with my decision to be ENM. I believe his negativity is severely affecting my affection towards him. I'm treating him more platonically, and getting negative thoughts when he tries to have sex with me. This morning, I was sexually frustrated, but REFUSED to have sex with my husband because of how he's been handling my ENM journey. I don't understand why my husband is with me if he cannot accept this journey I want to venture. He even started dating on Apps, found someone who was interested in both of us, then he COMPLAINS that I'm flirting with the girl he found on TINDER. Makes no sense. He told me he preferred a triad over us dating separately, and he is STILL giving me a hard time. I don't know what to think. I love my husband. We get along so well. I love how compatible we are. I learned about ENM after my marraige which is a DAMN shame because I would have definitely wanted to explore that route before getting married. I like living my life without regrets, and after learning about ENM, I felt instant regret. This is something I greatly desire and want to explore. Seeking other partners doesn't mean I love my husband less. If I didn't love him, I would have left him. I'm not scared of divorce or start all over. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
