What are some fantasy character concepts based on modern occupations and hobbies?

For example:

  • phlebotomist is a vampire
  • hobbyist maker is an artificer
  • arborist is a druid
  • dog trainer is a beast master
  • Bartender is a poisoner

And what about locations and services?

For example:

  • Dentist’s office is a tooth cult temple
  • Cellphone store is a familiar breeder/vendor
  • ChatGPT is an oracle, possibly a medium for communicating with a demon who gives bad advice
  • Mechanismatic@lemmy.mlOP

    Honestly sounds like a Brookstone product. “Here’s a combo alarm clock, beer cooler, golf ball cleaner, massage chair you never knew you wanted until now!”

    Those are the kinds of serendipitous misunderstandings I like!

    Apparently a line break in the text box on Connect isn’t recognized as such when posting.
