The theme is "good and evil testing themselves against one another so that larger, more deadly threats may be addressed upon their arrival" In Warcraft 3, an immortal Night-Elf trades his soul for demonic powers to save his people. However, it is not enough, and he is forced to team up with an ancient corrupted mermaid and the prince of a fallen kingdom who is forced to resort to blood magic to survive. Their goal is to defeat the spirit of death incarnate before it destroys the world. However, they fail, simply forcing him back for a time. They are the baseline, they did not test themselves upon one another, simply teaming up as allies of circumstance. They are the Islamic State, or the various factions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s, always in conflict, with a semi-collective goal, but mostly allies of circumstance, if at all. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1702 ════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────── fireworks rejoice as they meet their violent end ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1703 ════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────── suburbs aren't boring because all the cool people live in cities, suburbs are boring because all the cool people don't know you. But look around, because they're there. if you can't find any, then YOU are the cool people, and you should find the slightly-less cool people and show them how to be cool. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1704 ════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────── @user-217 last memory of a sperm ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1706 ════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────── @user-246 I put a poem, my website, and my favorite project.
