Feels like prompts like this are 1 sentence too long. Probably would have made sense to just end it at the superpower reveal, why cage writers into basically only being allowed to write a limited outcome to some scenario they could have set up on their own?

Reply to comment by Dr_Hajime in [WP] Your Significant Other has landed a book publishing deal! You're very proud of them, even if you don't actually enjoy their writing. One day, on a whim, you buy an actual copy in a book store. It's nothing like the pages they gave you to read. Nothing. by veriverd

He probably doesn't have human emotions (he just mimics them), so his "affection" might be of different nature. So, I'd imagine he might be saving her up for later, for more sinister purposes.

It's a better superpower than farting away jupiters gas.

The bowl of soup seems to imply that the volume and mass of the target is not preserved.

Now imagine that power being turned... Downwards.

“everyone made fun of you but your superpower is actually really broken because of a loophole in the wording”

Thanks! I was going to have it end with them turning themself into soup as a real “fuck you” to the world, but decided to leave it open-ended.

I agree. The few prompts that aren’t clichés are just about subverting them and that eventually becomes a cliché of its own.

That is how many of these prompts work. So many are just variations of, "You are the most special person alive but everyone is too stupid to see it until one day you prove that you are the bestist person ever!"

Reply to comment by exponentials in [WP] The Villain finished his monologue. Civilians standing around waited for the Hero to begin the fight, "Well, what are waiting for? Demolish the bad guy!" The Hero responded, "Hang on, he's made a couple of good points. We should hear him out." by WrongEinstein

The ending seems abrupt and out of nowhere.

Almost kinda anti climatic. Like, it builds something cool up, and then this shadow guy comes out of nowhere and destroys the plot.

I was thinking it would have to be a cold soup because a hot soup could bring on even more dangers

Reply to comment by Fluid_Capital_2483 in [WP] One day, you’re just chilling in your room listening to music through your headphones. A song in a language you don’t understand comes on, however you still try to mumble along. Suddenly, with a burst of flames, a demon appears in your room saying, “Who dare summon me in the tongue of old!?” by WoollerMan2003

Gotta proofread bud, but good concept!
