[WP] When humans make contact with the wider galactic community, it is discovered we were the only species to use rockets for space travel. Most other species use much safer antigravity tech. So they are appalled to learn that we basically propel ourselves into space with explosions.

[WP] You’re a vampire and you’ve decided to become an environmental activist. Not because you actually care about the planet, but because you’re tired of drinking blood tainted with microplastics.

[WP] Every time something bad happens to you, e.g. someone tries to mug you, you attempt to warn the perpetrator away for their sakes. The reason? One of the gods of old, who has unresolved maternal urges due to their roles e.g. Artemis, has decided to focus all this energy onto poor you...

[WP] They call you an "eldritch horror". They say you drive humans insane with your incomprehensible cosmic revelations. They you're evil and want to end the world or something. LIES AND SLANDER! All you ever intended was to uplift these ungrateful savages from their primitive existence!

[WP] It turns out God would absolutely love to come down and make the world a better place, and planned to do so a long time ago. Unfortunately, Something ravenous has been clawing its way into our reality for millennia, and it has taken every last sliver of His infinity to keep It at bay.

[WP] Last week you found an old sword in a box. When the blade was unsheathed it spoke to you, recounting its history. It declared you bearer of the mythical talking sword of Babel, and that you are bound together until death. Unfortunately, the sword is incredibly irritating and won’t shut up.

[WP] You haven't seen your mailman move in weeks. He stands in one spot on your front yard 24/7. Sometimes he knocks on your door and hands you mail, and then returns to his spot. You've had completely normal conversations with him before, but he ignores you when you ask why he never moves.

[WP] For 2 years now you've woken up every day with a different face. Every night your body changes: age, sex, ethnicity, height... Your memories, brain, clothes, house stay the same. Only your appearance changes. Living like this is hell.

[WP] you find a typewriter with the words "what if" written on its permanent and only page, when you finish the sentence it gives you a vision of that scenario and then resets itself. Using it you become a famous writer, but now the worlds you saw are bleeding into our own

[WP] You run an animal shelter for magical and mythical animals. Dragons, unicorns, jackalopes, you name it, your shelter houses them. Today a witch surrendered their familiar at your shelter. It is just an ordinary animal, so you think it would be easy to care for it. You were sorely mistaken.
