What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?

No one mourns the wicked.

ST POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING--The Mind Flayer

Once you realize that "opening a gate" is code for Mike's closet door, the show becomes infinitely funnier.

Season Three begins with the Russians trying and failing to open a gate. One scientist is panicking like, "We're close. We've made progress. You can see our progress. We just need more time!" A Russian Officer chokes him out and says, "You have a year."

The next scene cuts to Mike making out with El while "Just a little more time could open closing doors" plays.

Cut to a "year" later--

But you also start to consider that the Mind Flayer is a metaphor for Mike's shame, and you're back to being emotionally destroyed !!

So essentially the Dungeon Master might unknowingly be the actual Master of Puppets. Perhaps why Vecna needed him gone to take full control.

It appears this might be Vecna's secret card to play against Mike.

Vecna: Do you not see, Micheal? I did not do this to Will.

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

Sometimes I don’t even realise something is an expression because it’s so overused that it just sounds like what you’d learn from the basics of English. Like, “here’s pronouns, verbs, also look *insert common expression”.

I was talking to my cousin and I said something like “he was tryna not make it obvi and she didn’t automatically pick up what he was putting down.” And she said “wait, pick up what” and I, “what he was putting down”. A beat. “What was he putting down” and it took me forever to explain it was an expression because I’ve never registered it as one.

Have a guess
