I think I would tweak this take slightly by having them be hostile around sadness the way Marvels Man Thing would be around fear.

It tasted of dill, and as I was in Minneapolis I assumed this was a Scandinavian quirk, like saying 'oh yah' and enjoying ice fishing. Soon I was mournfully searching under my coleslaw if lunch arrived without its pickle. The doubly fresh combination of dill and cucumber was like taking your appetite to the laundromat. Just when consuming the second half of the sandwich, creeping up the constraining cocktail stick like rising dough seemed a complete impossibility, you took a negligent crunch on your pickle and were ready for more. Pickles and gargantuan American proportions are not accidental bedfellows. Neither are dill and cucumber. Dill seed is known for its digestive properties; it's the main ingredient in gripe water. Cucumbers, conversely, are known for their indigestibility. And so - aside from the beautiful flavour combination - your digestion is held in perfect balance, at least until the half-kilo of turkey, bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack hits yours stomach and you're gestating a belch that would reinflate the Hindenburg."<br /><br />I would note also the habit, known among the Russians and Finns, of serving vodka (or other spirits) with pickles.<br /><br />Perhaps I read too much into the pickle-qualities of the Gelly, but there is something interesting about a pickle-related item that suppresses appetites rather than restores them. However, perhaps portions of a Gelly Cube would whet the appetite of large monsters.Solomon VKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763252777153908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-81777662961932537282020-10-22T06:00:20.112-07:002020-10-22T06:00:20.112-07:00I imagine orcs, being the nasty pigmen they are, w...I imagine orcs, being the nasty pigmen they are, would take out a spoon and start eating the jelly<br /><br />Btw, I think a wolfpack of houses is called "a neighbourhood"padafranzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396732831155327293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-55469235327262592732020-10-21T22:17:15.395-07:002020-10-21T22:17:15.395-07:00"Are you being hunted by a House?"

One can maybe lure a cube away with salt?Kyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992025061183651850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-13448562292240388612020-10-21T11:59:42.730-07:002020-10-21T11:59:42.730-07:00Very interesting in a Nightmare on Elm Street &quo...Very interesting in a Nightmare on Elm Street "can't fall asleep" kind of way and the hermit house cube section is fucking hilariousHer Christmas Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445850026904816000noreply@blogger.com
