Banes at 12:00AM, July 28, 2022
The manchild is a very comic trope in fiction over the years. It's the kind of person who is an adult physically, but have not accepted adult responsibilities in some parts of life…or maybe any part of life. They are irresponsible in relationships or work or life in ...

Poetry Time 4: Evermind
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, July 17, 2022
Poem Nr 4: Evermind
It’s I, it’s me, It’s mine.
Time lost. Memories kept.
Beutiful to look at. Horrible to live by.

The scars of bygone pride, parasiting all that died ...

The Unicorn
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 30, 2022
No, this article isn't about the mythological beings. I wouldn't want to steal any single one from Andreas Helixfinger's awesome Sunday article series.
What I want to talk about is the metaphorical unicorn: a character that is too good to be true, too unlikely to be found ...
Fantastic Bestiary 2: The Nixie
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, April 3, 2022
In my first post of the Fantastic Bestiary last week I talked about a mythic specie associated with smokeless fire and wishes. In this second post I’m gonna talk about a mysterious, mythic figure associated with water and music. The Nixie is a shapeshifting water spirit that originated from ...
