big if true tbh

looking it up, apparently this was an artist who made signs like this to parody the actual city council's signage, just told apart by his logo in the corner, "christchurch city confusion", and they had locals rly confused for a bit. my favorite is this one!

Six absurdist signs resembling official city council information boards have popped up across New Zealand’s second-largest city

i’m so tired of being told that what female fans want in men’s sports is more fashion and champagne and over the top displays of wealth and wag content when really what women want is, like, a sport where the managers and players and marketers and male fans aren’t raging misogynists

So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

Oh my god *FOR the fic asks and the question is the cart one! Sorry

Oh my god I DIDN'T SEE THE CART wtf eyes wow

What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

This might sound weird but relationships that are not at all the kind of relationships I would be interested in being in lol. Bad communication, iffy dynamics, cheating, something generally noxious simmering in the background, that kind of thing. I like fiction as an exploration of the other and a place to escape into stuff well beyond what I personally would like to experience irl and I think that's the place I'm most comfortable in when writing.

Oh, and sloppy blowjobs.

Sometimes I forget people aren't multishippers then I see someone talking about how they used to ship something then got a new ship and I'm like what do you mean you aren't just collecting ships like cool rocks you see on the ground

Carlos: only becomes L'oreal sponsor after leaving Ferrari, implication is that he wasn't allowed nice things for his four years in red

Charles: is apparently now also a L'oreal ambassador despite still driving for Ferrari nbd

There's some really juicy fic potential here, team

#carlos convincing himself he's fine about it #that he always new Charles is the special one with the rules that only apply to him #but being passive aggressive about it constantly to the point where it tips over into nastiness #bonus points if they get convinced to do a shoot together #i dont have time to write it please tell me someone out there is still as charlos pilled as me and can do the last of us #still on this lifeboat a solid

The way Carlos was so irrationally upset about being categorized as 'old' in the generation game grill the grid ep that he acted like a petulant child for the entire shoot yeah that man has definitely found a few greys and is having an existential crisis
