The Pantheon of Impractical Gods
- The God of Socks That Mysteriously DisappearOften depicted as a mischievous figure wearing mismatched socks, this deity is worshipped by anyone who's ever lost a sock in the laundry. No one truly understands why they vanish, but the God of Missing Socks holds the key to this cosmic mystery. Their temple is a laundry room full of solitary socks, whispering in eerie harmony.
- The Goddess of Forgotten PasswordsThis deity is responsible for the universal plight of locking yourself out of an account because you've forgotten your password. Prayers to her are often frantic, reciting every combination of numbers, symbols, and dates that might unlock the gates of digital hell. Her temples are hidden behind layers of two-factor authentication and password recovery questions that no one can answer.
- The God of Half-Finished ProjectsThis god reigns over every creative endeavour that started with great promise but was abandoned midway through. Sculptures that only have one arm, novels with one chapter, and paintings that never quite reach completion are their domain. Their sacred text? "It’s the thought that counts." Followers often gather at abandoned DIY shops to silently admire unfinished furniture.
- The Goddess of Lost PensA patron deity of office workers and students, she is the cause of every pen mysteriously disappearing when you need it most. She’s depicted as a woman with an arm full of pens, but they’re always just out of reach. Her followers often engage in strange rituals, such as scouring desk drawers and shouting, "I swear I had a pen here five minutes ago!"
- The God of Overcooked PastaNo one knows why the pasta never seems to cook just right, but this god controls that very phenomenon. He is depicted as a giant, overcooked noodle with a sad, limp face. His followers engage in strange ceremonies where they boil pots of pasta, ensuring it will always end up either too firm or too mushy, but never perfect.
- The Great Cosmic Coffee SpillA deity that reigns over that moment when you’ve just made the perfect cup of coffee and then, in a single, tragic moment, you spill it. This deity enjoys watching from a distance as coffee cups topple, and lives are interrupted by a stain that seems to spread forever. Their holy texts consist of deep sighs and paper towels.
- The Spirit of Misplaced KeysA deity whose sole purpose is to watch over the never-ending cycle of losing and finding keys. They are the patron god of everyone who's ever searched for their keys in frantic circles around the house. Often symbolised by a floating keyring that appears right after you’ve given up hope.
