As always, my sig tends to contain such a line.

Remember that you are fighting the machine and the pilot both, but you only have to beat one of them.

Something I kinda thought up randomly and fitted my character, a shoplifting highschooler, well enough.

The 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."

I hate double posting, but whatever.

Jordyn's eyes went wide when they saw the massive, equestrian creature begin to do battle with Xenotyrannus. With a pure white body, save the distinguishing mark of a solar disk on its flank, and a mane of golden yellow, the creature's massive, bird like wings seeemd blot out the light of the sun and be replaced with the rainbow aura from the massive single horn on its head.

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.

[up] I aim to surprise.

From the same story, with a forth wall breaking moment.

At the sight of the massive, slimy green and blue shoggoth, Seth's eyebrows widened in surprise.

"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.

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.

From a murder mystery-type story.

The police haven’t made any notable progress on the case of the “Ballypoll Serial Murders”, as I understand folks are calling it these days. My friend suggested to me that they should have called it the “Ballypoll Deadly Serial Murders”, because then the initials would spell out BDSM. I told him he had better things to be thinking about.

For context, the person who's pregnant is a cheerleader.

“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."

A character who writes thinking about it.

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:

Erik, as a father, I'm thrilled to have my son back in town again. But as a policeman, I don't need you or any other fed up my ass telling me how to do my job.

A quote from a show I've been writing for ages now.

Context: The main group of characters have watched a comedic short film made by one of their own, one member sarcastically criticises the film causing this exchange.

"You know they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit?"

"They also say that toilet jokes are the lowest form of humour, but I see you clearly don't care for that either."

A conversation I probably won't actually use.

"I admire you. You know who and what you are, and you're not afraid of it. You won't flinch from doing what has to be done. You'll make the hard choices easily."

"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."


(Later from the same work.)

"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."

"Well yes, but she's also our mom."

"Show us the Galaxy Warp."
