A meme with two pictures. Top picture is a scene from Charmed with phoebe and Paige holding swords with the text- “witches don’t just have magic these days. They get swords, gods and fate.” Second picture is the meme of the kid in front of an RV who says “you guys got [insert something].” The text here says, “You guys got magic?”

Okay, but what if CHARMED and those witchy, fever-dream story lines went all high fantasy with swords? And then add Cole and Phoebe’s forbidden situation!

Thanks! I did something like that too and definitely took inspiration from it. 😂

Haha. Thanks! This pit is right up my alley!

White background with black comic sans text. Title reads "Come to Emerald City! we got:" followed by six crayon drawings: an explosion labeled "science labs that definitely don't explode" Two stick figure superheroes labeled "rookie superheroes trying their best" a stick figure with red eyes, a black hood, and a sword labeled "vigilante stabby mcKilltheRich" a stick figure with crossed out eyes laying on a pile of money labeled "several dead CEOs (unrelated to the vigilante we swear" a set of tipped scales labeled "so much corruption" a stick figure cat with green power waves labeled "six cats. free to a good home. superpowers included."

starting #unhingedpit off right w some of my worst stick figures and a truly ancient meme format a la SIRENSONG, my 121k sci-fi/romance led by a protag that's like if "In the Blood" by John Mayer and "Stairway to Heaven" combined into an traumatized person.

Recipe for a witchy fantasy: 1/2 cup of killing the bad prince because no one needs to be that hot, 4 quarts of blood. and then another four. Just to be sure. 1 cup of romance, but wear gloves because that stuff is toxic, 2 gallons of destiny. Nah. Just wing it.

Cravin’ a witch brew that’ll leave you gasping (because it’s poisoned)? Want something with a kick (to the groin)?

Eleutheria’s biggest red flags: characters die, like immediately, no meet cute (fists were thrown, zero bodily autonomy, witches but they’re more the terrifying sword wielding kind than the cutesy pointy hat kind

Red flags for why you absolutely, without a doubt should *NOT* consider Eleutheria.
