Rejection spurring competitiveness.
How….. Human.

He just opened Pandora’s Human?

Reply to comment by MostlyTuesday in [WP] You are a demon, one of the top ranked ones at that. One day you get a call from an angel you used to be friends with. "Look, i hate to ask this, but i trust you. Can you cover for me for a couple years?" The Guardian Angel asks. by EndorDerDragonKing
“Are you a monster? ….. Yes…”
It’s amazing how flexible children’s reactions can be.

Reply to comment by Jdavis29209 in Anker 675 USB-C Docking Station 12-in-1 monitor stand wins award. by RenegadeUK
I run at least 2 external displays, even on docked laptops. A single monitor dock and stand doesn't get me very far.
I do like the simplicity of one less thing cluttering my desk, but only lifting one monitor is of limited utility to me.

Reply to comment by UntakenNameFtw in [WP] You're a 'comically incompetent' supervillain for a group of C-List heroes. They are no real threat to you, so you endure their childish speeches. However, when the heroes raid the civilian business you run on the side and injure your employees, you decide to take yourself seriously for once. by Informal_Ad_6157
The 'passive' aspect of his power reminded me a little of Keepsie's.... A good story about a barkeep with a very low ranked power. :-)

The best part is the string of replies. Not that it was obvious, but every single response was filled with attitude, yet technically true and accurate.

That's half the joy. It's a clean, simple story well told with a healthy dose of humor and a complete lack of serious drama or other mentally taxing constructs.

Reply to comment by Remarkable-Youth-504 in [WP] The Clergy hates your eccentric ways, but you remain the best Exorcist and you love your job. You're only called upon to chase the strongest, fiercest demons. But your prayers are just for show, what really terrifies the spirits away is witnessing a demon powerful enough to take human shape... by Daedal75
… fairly short, yet you took me for a good ride.
I like your twist on it.
