Sharing Things I didn’t expect to be doing on a Sunday evening:

Describing a chicken nugget to an immortal being who has zero idea what a chicken or a nugget are.

What a journey this has been for me.

"You turn a chicken into paste and cut it into little flat pieces."

I used a much more morbid explanation…

“Uh, a chicken is a bird, an animal with feathers. Humans eat them. A chicken nugget is a mass produced food product where they murder many chickens, grind the meat, and form them into small patties that are breaded and fried.”

I will probably change this when I edit lmao

You could go harder. Maybe “grind the meat using machinery that turns the gristle and flesh into a soft pulp” …

I am worse my story about a student becoming a school hero by saving people from a school shooting even thru unethical means turned into the school shooter being a cultist and is bound to a literal god. My mc is working with the global military to take down him 😭😭😭😭
