The Fifth World

Did a golden mouth appear in a bonfire and scream the date of your own death at you?

Are pools of blood forming in your hands whenever you cup them, only to coagulate into the form of a tiny baby with three heads?

My characters are complaining about the way I write my books.

They want a calm and peaceful life without any drama. I tell them that if the story has no drama, it's not interesting, people don't buy the books and we're all out of a job.

Null Plane Drivers Not Working?

So, I'm visiting some family in the 4th plane Dimension No. 2340098X. It's classified as an Antimatter Paradoxical Dimension, so obviously I need Null Drivers to keep my 4D Bionics intact. Problem is, when I tested them a few weeks before leaving, they stopped working! The error reads : "Dimensional Equivalence Band disconnected, check Mobius Strip integrity". I did that, and the Mobius Strip is intact, and functioning normally. Everyone else says to check my dimensional plane clearance, but that's also functioning normally. Please help!

Revolvers keep on stealing my cars, help?

So, I live in the kind of shady part of Arūn, and just last week, some stupid ass revolvers with legs stole my car from my driveway, I watched the footage from my DarkSteel Cam 35X. It's really getting fucking annoying because the other night, the same ass revolvers stole my spare Bionic legs from my garage. Anything I can do to get rid of these little shits? People say to use antimatter repellent, but it's not working! Please help. -Druid of Lastonia, Carl.

Lemon stealing wh*res keep stealing my lemons!

So I and my girlfriend own a lemon tree, it is a beautiful lemon tree, those lemons are like our children. I mean, imagine, we can make lemonade, key lemon pie, lemon merengue pie. I think it’s the most valuable of property that we have. I think we should go to the bank and get a loan, actually I think we should just get lemon tree insurance and then get a loan and use the lemon tree as collateral because it is now insured. I truly do love our lemon tree. Just imagine a life full of lemon trees, and all our beautiful lemons, endless possibilities. They’re so beautiful, I wish I was a lemon. You wish you were a lemon? Anyways, back to the point, we unfortunately live in an area full of lemon stealing wh*res and you know how they are, always stealing our lemons. One time, we let our guard down talking about how much we love our lemon tree, and we kept our eye off it for 10 whole seconds, and our lemons were stolen! So what should I do? THEY'RE TAKING OUR LEMONS GOD DAMN IT!!!

I broke into a guy's house so he chopped up my face into meat lego bricks and made my remains into steaks

So basically, I (83M) broke into a guy's (130M) house for fun, as you do on a Friday night, when the guy inside got unreasonably upset at me. I mean, like, it's not like I was gonna steal anything, he was broke anyway lol. But anyway, he just took out an Exacto Knife and cut my face into Legoes to play with, and then turned me into steak and sold them at my wake. As you can tell, I am very pissed about this, what should I do?

I divided myself by 0

So basically, I was just messing around with my Math-Fun™ Object Multiplication machine, when I decided to do a really funny prank and tried to divide myself by 0. Little did I know that this made an infinite number of myself, causing me to practically become both GOD, and the UNIVERSE ITSELF at the same time, so now I'm everywhere all at once. How do I become human again? I feel everything that is going on in existence, and I don't like it, it tingles, I feel liquidy, I feel like a delicious stew. I also do not believe I can handle godhood, to be honest. What do I do???

Moving to the negative plane in a few days, any recommendations?

As the title says I'm moving to the negative plane in a few days and I'm really wondering what I should bring with me? I know that living matter tends to not do well when brought, so I'm going ethereally only. Can I still bring my laptop on the commute through the astral?

My common sense isn't sensing anything and my rare sense has had to pick up the slack

I caught a case of ßl0£§-19 and ever since I can't sense anything commonly. I can only have rare steak now. Politics aren't as good in the House of Rares, and if I want to tell my Spankleplep to hurry up on our way there, I have to tell it to come in 😫 Perhaps this is a common issue, but I wouldn't know! Please help

I just teleported a significant CEO to another dimension.

Hey hey people, as said in post title. I was at work one day and I was metaphysically editing and altering the subspace of a pigeon-sized device for travel, but divine intervention prevented it from being used as designed and instead teleported a CEO to the blender dimension.

How liable am I?

I had an appointment with my ear, nose and throat doctor who screwed me up.

Now, I can only talk through my ears, eat through my nose, and, it being part of my GI tract, hear through my anus.

So I was in a park eating some pixie dust candy through a straw and a cop saw me and wanted to arrest me for doing drugs. I couldn't hear him so I pulled down my pants and he thought I was mooning him!

How do I a) prove my innocence? and b) get back to normal?

wormhole license

I just turned 18 million years old and now finally I can apply for my own wormhole license so I can do intergalactic travel.

But I am worried about the test and they say it is pretty strict in the milky way to get one.

so can you all give me some tips to ace the test, so I can finally own a wormhole license.

I hate living in ███████ █████, ███████

Hello there, so I live in the town of ███████ █████ in the state of ███████ which is apparently a nexus point, that I've been told are weak spots between Earth and the Eternal Chaos, thus making it a hotspot for supernatural activity.

I hate it here, my car tires keep getting eaten by gremlins, my morning coffee keeps falling onto the ceiling, extroverted ghosts keep trying to strike conversation with me despite my obvious dislike of them, and interdimensional rifts keep shifting into existence in front of me, giving me a glimpse into the primordial madness that predates reality and ⏁⊑⟒ ⟒⋏⎅ ⟟⌇ ⋏⟒⏃⍀. ⏁⟟⋔⟒'⌇ ⟒⋏⎅ ⌰⍜⍜⋔⌇ ☊⌰⍜⌇⟒. ⊑⍜⌰⎅ ⊬⍜⎍⍀ ⌰⍜⎐⟒⎅ ⍜⋏⟒⌇ ⎅⟒⏃⍀. ⎎⍜⍀ ⊑⟟⌇⏁⍜⍀⊬ ⌇⊑⏃⌰⌰ ⌇⍜⍜⋏ ☊⍜⋔⟒ ⏁⍜ ⏃ ☊⌰⍜⌇⟒.

One time, I was driving somewhere with popped tires from those stupid gremlins when suddenly the ground itself cracked open, with demons flying and flowing out of the crack. Another time, I was talking to a buddy when suddenly a flying saucer arrived and took him away, I haven't seen him since. I also remember getting bugged by agents in suits who kept on insisting on talking to me about the town or some crap. Also, I keep on getting woken up by the neighbors who keep on sacrificing animals and people to their primordial elder god !, like, could you possibly be any more louder‽ There was also that one Halloween, when the dead came to life and started invading the town, long story there.

What should I do‽ I'm LITERALLY losing my mind!!

I killed death.

So basically, several centuries ago (or was it millennia now? It's been so long I've lost track of time) I was driving in my car home from the pub at night, when suddenly some bloke wearing a cloak appeared in the backseat and revealed himself to be death!

He told me that I was supposed to die in a car crash with a drunk driver going on the wrong lane n a few minutes. Now, keep in mind that I was very stressed out at the time, from one tragedy to another, me getting evicted, fired, my fiance dumping me, my father dying, so I feel like anyone would've done what I did at the time. I was like 'Screw this!' and I swerved off the bridge.

I woke up to see Death's lifeless body, and I found an ENORMOUS GASH on my forehead. I was bleeding out, but miraculously I managed to survive for hours until emergency responders arrived. Later I learned that now nobody could die anymore. This was great news for me, and for seemingly everybody else for the first few decades, but eventually it got worse, the world got overpopulated with nobody able to die, and overpolluted, and none of us could even die to escape it. So yeah, if you're wondering how all that stuff happened, it was me, surprise! Does anybody know how to reverse this, this world's a hellhole now!
