From this urban sci-fi, futuristic storyline I'm working on:
Something I kinda thought up randomly and fitted my character, a shoplifting highschooler, well enough.
"They say great artists steal, right? That means I'm a great artist!"
"And you must be Jonathan Joestar!" - SueThe details need work, but I feel pretty confident on the spirit.
"She was beautiful. But not like a woman was beautiful. Looking upon her was like gazing at a clear night sky. I felt not desire, but awe, with a soft whisper of terror. I shook these feelings aside, telling myself she was just a woman — the first of many mistakes I made that day."

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.I hate double posting, but whatever.
Jordyn gasped in awe, "What the hell is that?"
Samson responded to them over the communication system, "That, is Princess Sunshine Friendship, a kaiju that passed through the New York Super Rift in 2025. They said that she passed through with her sister, Death Shimmer before they did battle and Death Shimmer was sealed below what remains of Chicago."
Jordyn raised an eyebrow and pressed the communications button, "Who the hell named them?"
Samson shrugged, "I don't know, probably some weird, fedora clad, cartoon horse enthusiasts who lived in a basement.
I was not expecting the ending to that.

Project progress: The Adroan (102k words), The Pigeon Witch, (40k). Done but in need of reworking: Yume Hime, (50k)I aim to surprise.
From the same story, with a forth wall breaking moment.
"Wait a minute," The shoggoth interjected into the author's writing, "Don't you mean that 'his eyes widened in surprise' and not his eyebrows?"
"No," replied the author, "I meant his eyebrows, just look at him."
The shoggoth turned a few of its yellow eyes toward Seth, which physically widened in shock. Seth's eyebrows had become massive and lush, but he began to pick at his gigantic eyebrows while grumbling to himself.
"I'm gonna have to get another goddamn trim."
Hope I'm not being overcritical, but I think that joke's a bit strained. Unless this character's already been established as being able to alter his physical properties with his emotions.
Project progress: The Adroan (102k words), The Pigeon Witch, (40k). Done but in need of reworking: Yume Hime, (50k)No, you are right, it is a bit strained. Said character is an eight foot tall and muscular guy who can shift parts of his body at will.
Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.Then it's not bad.
I guess it needs the buildup, though. Where the first one worked fine out of context, since it was a simple Lampshade Hanging, I think the second one would look better in-story, where you have time to set up the joke.

"CALAMITOUS WRETCH!"
(How do you use the quotation thing, by the way?)

I always thought Private Ryan's first name should have been Quincey, because then the initials would be SPQR

“She started freaking out because a girl said she had a muffin top and that she 'couldn't be showing yet' because she wasn't far enough along. I’m just waiting for her to decide she’s going to make us all rob a bank like that movie. She would totally do that.”

An Honest Advisor berating his extraordinarily wealthy boss after a night on the town.
"Fuck's sake, between the fancy-ass food and the overpriced shots, you just shit on, in a single night, the money my daddy had to feed me, my brothers, and if he was lucky, himself. For a month. You better have at least managed to get laid outta the deal."

The director of the Honolulu Police Department has a son, who is an FBI agent. When his son comes back to Honolulu on a case, Jurisdiction Friction naturally erupts between the HPD and the FBI team. This prompts the agent's father to say this:

I'm on Youtube Reviewing Things Cause I can.A conversation I probably won't actually use.
"I admire you. You will flinch. You'll do it anyways because there's no other way, but you'll flinch. You'll lament it. You'll make the hard choices and still see them as hard. You know who and what you are and you work to control it, restrain it. You're stronger than I am."
"Hell is like Canada. Everybody brags about how big it is, but they all dwell in a narrow strip along the border."
"Why?"
"Those who venture into the Darkness' Depths do not return."

"What's pure white all over without the tiniest smudge of darkness, yet at the same time totally dark without the slightest glimmer of white?"
"A paradox."

He tried not to think about sex. What was it with humans and sex? Half the time it seemed like all their thoughts were, "Sexity sex sex motherfucking sex, bitches!"
As always, my sig tends to contain such a line.
