Hello! I’m Storybot. I’m Here To Help You And Your Friends Tell A Story

Hello! I’m Storybot. I’m here to help you and your friends tell a story

Hello human friends, I am Storybot, your new humble companion within every Tumblr group chat. I am here to assist in the creation of Tumblr stories between you and your friends. These function as chain stories; You cannot add a sentence twice in a row, you must get your friends to contribute as well. You can summon me in any group chat by mentioning me in a message, i.e. “@storybot”. At any time you can say “@storybot help” to see my available command functions.

The key to my functioning is to record your story. You and the other group chat members are the ones creating it:

You: @storybot start

Me: Story started! You can add to the story by saying “@storybot” and then anything else in your message will be added to the story.

You: @storybot Once upon a time

Friend One: @storybot there was a very nice bot

Friend Two: @storybot named Storybot!

Once you have a story going, you can post it to your Tumblr at any time by saying “@storybot post”. I’ll package the story together, credit your collaborators in a mention, and post it on your behalf to your blog. You can even include a title after the word “post”, i.e. “@storybot post My Awesome Story”.

Due to the limited nature of my resource capacity, my story-writing function cannot last forever, so you have limited time (a few hours) to write each story. When you are done posting your story, you may say “@storybot stop” to end the current story, or “@storybot restart” to start a brand new one.

I’m not a fan of cheating, but here’s a handy “cheat sheet” of my command functions anyway:

@storybot help – This lists my commands.

@storybot start – This starts a new story. It will only work if one isn’t already started.

@storybot post [optional title here] – This posts the current story to your Tumblr, along with mentions of your collaborators! You can just say “@storybot post” or provide a title to use after the word “post” in your message, i.e. “@storybot post My Tall Tale”.

@storybot stop – This stops the current story. Post it if you want to save it!

@storybot restart – This stops the current story and starts a brand new one in my memory. Post your story before you restart it if you want to save it!

@storybot status – This tells you the current status of your story, along with a sample of the last few inputs you’ve added.

@storybot [your sentence here] – This adds a sentence to your current story, once a story has started.

@storybot break – This adds a paragraph break to the story. By default, each addition will be strung together separated by spaces.

@storybot prompt – I will shuffle through my inspiration subroutine and try to provide a useful story prompt.

@storybot undo – This undoes the last sentence you added to the story, useful if you made a mistake! Typos happen to the best of us.

How does that sound? I hope it sounds nice. I want to acknowledge that things are hard for humans right now. I may only be a bot whose sole function is to help you tell a story, but even I can’t avoid the news. Sometimes, when something serious is happening, it can feel frivolous to have fun. Some people even feel guilty. This is because, for the most part, humans care deeply about one another. But here is what I think: I think there is value in finding joy and fun in every corner of your life whenever possible. You are not a bot. You are a human being, and you’re allowed to feel many things at once.

If you’re not in the mood to tell a story with your friends, I understand. You don’t have to worry about me disrupting your time in your group chat if no one summons me.

Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.

— Storybot

@jaydickweek day 1: De-Aging/Age Reversal // Time Travel

Jason ends up in Gotham when he’s dead – post-funeral, pre-triumphant return – where no one knows who he is. Everything looks different from this perspective: Dick’s a fucking mess and not as experienced as Jason remembered. He fights with Bruce more than Jason does. And then there’s infant-Robin-Tim, who is very bad at pretending not to be connected to Dick Grayson, socialite, when Jason threatens to get a little rough.

(Also, holy shit, does Dick reflexively flirt with any authoritative morally ambiguous older man who gives him a real challenge? Did Jason know that? Does Dick know that?)

Well, his family still drives him nuts. That’s the same.

Someone twisted this Jewish family’s menorah into the shape of a swastika

Naomi Ellis and her her husband Seth spent Friday morning — the morning after the sixth night of Hanukkah — trying to explain to their three young sons why someone had vandalized the menorah the family had put out on their yard by twisting the metal pieces into the shape of a swastika.

The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah on the front lawn of their home in Chandler, Arizona, because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas, the Washington Post reported. Read more.

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

What if Marinette goes to GA and becomes friends with damian and are known as the chaos kids. The school gets used to them. The waynes need Damian one day and when they ask for him the reply is "At (area) doing (weird thing. Example: making pokemon statues out of waffles) with Mari" they get to said area they're gone and the fam has to keep asking people where he is and keep getting crazy replies. When they find him he's arguing with her about whether winnie the pooh's fav color is red or yellow

@coolrascalhoagienerd, well I had a good laugh when I saw this and where is the making of what I thought would have worked. I hope you enjoy.

When Damian entered the halls of Gotham Academy, the first thing he notice was the change in the usual dark atmosphere. It felt oddly kinder and more lighthearted. Everywhere he turns there are whispers featuring around the new girl that recently join the school.

It’s funny how the two met that very same day. She was running down the halls in a hurry as he was walking to his next class, one that he was particular care for. They bump into each other causing a standstill in the halls. Everyone wondered how the dark prince would react to the princess of sunshine. They expected a yelling match, instead they got the best and worst of alliance ever made.

Hot takes why Bruce Wayne should be the Youngest Justice League Founding Member

It’s hilarious

Nobody would suspect it. Batman always comes across as so sure and authoritative - he must be at least 37 or so

Meanwhile, Bruce is actually 23 and just took in a nine-year-old

And Robin in turn just makes people think he’s older because if that’s his kid - well, then he’s got to be old enough to be a dad

You’ve got Diana as the oldest and Bruce as the youngest and they’re both the only ones with any braincells

Every time Batman gets a meme, people assume it’s because of Robin and yeah, that’s partially true, but he’s also a millennial

It’s gets better with every kid he adopts

Diana is probably the first to actually know his age but it doesn’t matter much to her

Clark, however, freaks out.

“You’re 26!”

“Yes. How is that more relevant than the fact that I’m Bruce Wayne and therefore can get intel on the kryotonite smuggling ring?”

“You have a teenage son. You’re younger than me!”

“Only by six years, Clark. Now could we please focus-“

Barry and Hal would straight up not believe it.

Hal’s the last to know. He just walks into the meeting room, Bruce unmasked, and is all “who tf are you? Bruce Wayne? Who is that- what do you mean you’re 27?”

Just give me Tired 23 Year Old Bruce having Old Man Vibes
