If you don’t believe being asexual has any negative affect on people I was told by a psychiatrist that none of my relationships count because we didn’t have sex, and I can’t say I’m gay since I don’t want to have sex with girls.
and I was taken off my antidepressants because they may be lowering the libido I never had in the first place (plus various other reasons, but still immediately, cold turkey, which should NEVER happen unless they’re switching you to something else)
But aphobia doesn’t exist and asexuals are privileged, right?
Parakeet - Damon Albarn
Back when life was slow, before his name was Beebee, all this kid wanted to do was sit up in his tree and read. Maybe pelt a few wanks with his slingshot, take em on a good chase. It was quiet. He’d look out over the rooftops of his town and sing a little tune. He still does all that from time to time. Just keeps a better eye out for house fires.
Seasoned Oak - Daniel Pemberton
Sprinting through the woods surrounding town. Learning how to dodge trees, climbing anything and everything, falling on his ass and getting back up. Firing a bow so many times his fingers would bleed, not stopping till he hit his target enough times to be satisfied. The only thing he can’t outrun is that damned cat…
The Wrong Company - Flogging Molly
After joining up with the Chain, there were a lot of watering holes to get kicked out of. This is Beebee’s go to song - once he’s drunk enough at least.
Romanian Wind - Hans Zimmer
He may not look it - he’s tall and fairly broad shouldered, and he never takes off that coat - but Beebee has the moves on the rare occasions that he dances. It takes plenty of drink to get him singing, but you can tell he’s gone once he stands up to dance. Especially because he’ll let Elbee gracefully balance on his shoulders the whole time.
Swagger - Flogging Molly
Sloshed beyond belief, potentially lost, and having a damn good time. The goal every night he drinks. And the night he doesn’t drink is the night he’s dead.
Fix My Life - Melt Yourself Down
Like the sun is sure to rise, Beebee is sure to piss of the wrong person. Probably had it comin to em. Thing is, there’s a point when you’re squaring off against a meathead twice your size and half a dozen of his friends that you think to yourself “fuck” and book it. The cat can catch up. What else is new?
Assassins Breath - Daniel Pemberton
Sheer focus. Aiming an arrow, hearing that thud and seeing the target fall down - onto the next one. It never really stops, but does he even want it to?
Tried not to have doubles of artists on here but fuck it. Also, I couldn’t find a song that was exclusively about protecting Geddit, but that’s only because it hasn’t been written yet.
Hey, to you sci-fi/fantasy writers out there (and maybe some others, but this is mainly for things that can’t really be researched irl), if you want to write a character who is a driven, passionate expert on something, don’t write about them rambling indifferently about some boring, mundane part of it. Give them a deep, intense hatred of some oddly specific wow-I-did-not-even-know-that-was-a-thing-and-it-would-have-never-occurred-to-me-that-it’s-a-bad-thing thing they’ll gladly rant about.
Write a dragon rider who really fucking hates it when a dragon is trained to bow while being reined. A space ship engineer who is pissed off when perfectly good antimatter ship has been adapted to run on neutral matter. A historian who is still not over the massive failures of a general who lost a specific battle 300 years before she was born.
The guy currently giving us a series of lectures on the restoration of historical buildings really, really hates polymer paint. At the artisan school our stained glass teacher really hated this one specific Belgian artist - we never really figured out what did that guy even do, but he’s been dead for over 200 years and our teacher was glad that at least he’s dead.
Experts don’t just know things you’ve never thought about. They’ve got strong opinions about it.
I have become obsessed with long term nuclear waste disposal warnings
a character design i came up with
I laughed way too hard at this
I'm kinda meh about roof gardens/ grass roofs bc they can accumulate a lot of weight and collapse/ cause leaks
But living walls? Mighty sexy
They provide natural insulation, which not only keeps the heat in during cold days, but keeps the heat out during hot ones. It's better planned and maintained than vines (depending on the plant ofc).
Flooding in urban areas can be reduced since the roots and the growing medium will hold in moisture. Air can be purified, and heat can be reduced because of evaporation.
I just love living walls
So while most rainbow capitalism is sticking rainbows on things and pretending to be an ally, Budweiser’s UK branch is giving credit to trans activists, and explaining pride flag colors.
