one thing that really fascinates me about alex is his devotion to art – and more specifically, how he chooses to get some inspiration from scientific works of what he aims to implement in his art. every time one gets to examine some of his lyrics, or even how he explains these lyrics in an interview, they can be greeted by some bits of actual scientific information. an example is how he named his taquería on the moon with the term “information-action ratio”, coined by the critic neil postman, and referenced it in the song four out of five, something that might also indicate an interesting articulation with postman's concept. the line “cute new places keep on popping up”, for example, can express his well-known sardonic discontent regarding the flood of information being generated and transmitted over and over and, as much as it seems visually appealing and does give the idea of benefiting from advanced technologies, it doesn't really add anything substantial to the receiver's critical thinking – and worse, it distances the information receiver from the sender in a communication channel, according to postman.

what i'm saying with this interpretation is, it's known that alex is enamoured with the idea of gathering a bunch of references and condensing them into a mixture of metaphors in his writing, but it's so thrilling how, at times, we can find some bits of science inside of it – and it's even more exciting, just like playing a puzzle game, to find these references and analyse them by doing a similar research to what he did to create his works.

The 24-Hour Celebration of this blog's 1-Year Anniversary: The Tumblr Tourney!

“Ser, as your squire, I was informed by the master of the games that you cannot take part in the 1-year anniversary tourney unless you have a sigil of your own. These are the concepts for a sigil that I came up with. Which one speaks to you the most, milord?”

A Sothoryi (or Westerosi) swallow carrying a coconut

An underwater pineapple

A beautiful woman repairing a car-I mean, a wooden carriage

A bowl of ramen with a clearly defined narutomaki

A bald man surrounded by his family

A colony of bats flying towards the viewer

Blue crystals developed by maesters that appear to be glass-like

A giant worm in the deserts of Dorne

A blue police box that appears to be larger on the inside

A man who appears to be half-man, half-armored insect

Two identical twin brothers standing in front of a smokestack chimney

Three orphan siblings, sigil has a general feeling of dread and unfortunatenesss

gamble for a fortune doodles

this is bit of a dream project of mine

almost all the characters are based off hyperfixations, characters I like, and inside jokes of mine and it feels so nice to be able to put all of it in one silly little series that i'll probably make when i have good animation software

family in wmbk. family isn't just who you're born to. family is who you've fought and killed to get and would fight and kill to keep. family is the people that understand you when nobody else does. family can be so many things, blood or not. family is the girl who sneaks out to fight you with knives, family is calling your mother after 20 years of no contact, family is the kids you love after swearing you wouldn't love anyone again, family is breaking every tradition to see your parents again, family is the brother whose ghost you will never really escape, family is the daughter you thought was dead showing up alive and well. family is two kids from different places learning to understand each other. family is loving and losing and caring in a world that tries to beat the caring out of you.

🖊Let's have some Garrus!🖊

Garrus has a secret. It's not like a OH MY GODS/COGS/PALE TREE/SPIRITS I WILL NEVER TRUST THE COMMANDER AGAIN kind of secret, it's actually kind of wholesome: he really, really wants to be a dad. However, he wants to do it on his terms. (This part is my headcanon for charr culture so Here There Be Dragons?) Charr have challenge matches to get the best breeding partners, and his greatest fear is that he's going to go back to the Black Citadel and immediately have a mile of female charr who just want to have cubs with the Commander and are willing to fight and possibly die for it. He doesn't want that for any of those female charr, and he doesn't want to just have a cub with someone for the sake of having a cub. He wants to actually have a relationship with the cub: more so after seeing what being disconnected from his father and having to deal with the shadow he cast did to Ryland. And of course, he ultimately only wants to do it when Agaue is completely ready to do it.
