IDLE OF A PSYCHOPOMP

AITA for taking my baby daughter on a walk?

To be fair to my wife, I simply forgot to mention it. And besides, I wasn't actually going to tell her, well, considering I needed my baby for…insurance. Scouting out a guarded forest is dangerous work after all.

NOSFERATU WITH A BANSHEE
For generations she haunted his household. She did not hunger, nor ache.
Not until his accursed touch brought back memories of how she became the banshee.

⚰️ Only one grave

🥀 Tragic ending
☠️ Black plague

Image of a woman in a long white dress in a spooky dark forest with gloomy atmosphere. Title reads Don't Keen for Me: A Romantic Tale of Gothic Horror. Text in a torn-paper style corner reads "My undying love, I may never see you again. But oh, as long as I live, I can hear you."

Excerpt: Her head tipped back, her voice turning ragged at the edges. Finally I reached her, took her hands. The terrible noise did not cease, but she turned her head towards me mid-cry, staring with sightless eyes.

My hands were on hers, no cloth between, and I feared that instead of bringing her back, I was sending her someplace worse. But the keening did not stop. I pinched the flesh of her palms between my forefinger and thumb. Hard enough to hurt—but this was the good kind of pain, the kind that makes you human, instead of taking you further away from it.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M #Q

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color.

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

AITA for forcing my husband to quit his career because it was way too dangerous?

The image of waiting for him to come home from his expeditions filled me with worry. But now, he's following this 'rumour', and I know deep down it's because I forced him to quit. What do I do?

AITA for blindly following a 'baseless rumour' and letting it ruin my entire life.

In my opinion, there's no such thing as a 'baseless rumour' when it comes to helping my wife, but her parents beg to differ...
