Your Blorbo had to eat the last food you ate (not a leftover, but the exact same food that you ate; for instance, if the last food you ate was Jajangmyeon, they’d have to eat a fresh bowl of Jajangmyeon too). Would they be happy about it?

Yes

Remaining time: 6 days 12 hours

Every poll on this blog is about fictional characters only. This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds

#no #Murderbot would not be happy about having to eat ANY food #but I imagine that having to store undigested salt and vinegar chips in your lung and having to bring them up again at osme later point #would be HELLA unpleasant

Pedestrian traffic lights

sjorsdottir

Ooooh, we have a bunch of really fancy pedestrian traffic lights in Germany! I need to share:

Starting off with the difference between formerly Eastern German traffic lights (upper images) and formerly Western German traffic lights (lower images):

The city of Erfurt had some additions, like an umbrella or a heart:

It's fascinating to see people be like oh this author is terrible and putting money towards evil causes but if I pirate the books I'm not putting money in their pocket!

Well. This is true. But why are you so desperate to read their works. Like. You don't have to.

longsightmyth

Nobody's saying you can't (no one can or should control your reading and purchasing habits, or at least no one on this here website, my sympathies if someone irl is in fact controlling your reading and purchasing) but I gotta ask, what makes you so desperate to read those books. Is it critique? Is it a required work for a course? Like. Do what you want, but it's forever a bit of a 'wut' moment when people go 'oh I'll just pirate the books then'

Why

longsightmyth

"Sometimes bad people make good art" yes and? This statement does not answer the question. This isn't food or shelter. This is entertainment. There are other good works. Replying 'oh I just pirate the books' is wild. You could read other books.

possessable

it's good enrichment for The Character(s) when one of their friends gets possessed and they have to find some way to bring them back. great friendgroup bonding activity. especially if they have to do some exorcism bullshit and it's traumatizing for everyone involved and there's collapsing and sobbing afterward. great thing for The Character(s) to do. highly recommend.

#dear god my brain will make everything tmbd right now #but this is just murderbot and ART in NE except instead of possession it's alien remnant contamination #Equeuevalent Exchange

UNHOLY OFFSPRING OF LIGHTNING AND DEATH

finally caved, here it is!

Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that. What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again. The answer was probably a solid "both". All of my organic parts told me to run. Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run. Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin Gender: fem-neutral I shoved the feed ID at ART. The negotiator?, it asked. She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

when the persona you made eats you; when the performance youve been putting on eats you; when the name they gave you eats you; when the image people made of you eats you; when the role you were assigned eats you; when the you that other people see or even made for you or you made for them takes over the you that you know and eats you alive.

Stealing this from twitter but I liked the concept: put in the tags where were your 8 great-grandparents from (given modern borders) ?

#uh...#two from germany two from what is poland today #four from greece (two mainland and two crete)#sadly i don't know much about the greek side of the family #i know some part of the family were asia minor greeks from turkey #but i don't know who exactly and how long ago they left there #i should have talked to dad more about it when i still could #Equeuevalent Exchange

Ramblings Of A Lunatic

Only

Remaining time: 22 hours 30 minutes

Ramblings of a Lunatic (Bears In Trees)

Maybe this is the result of me finally accepting that I'll be alone forever/That I deserve forgetting It's a pointless endeavor, and maybe it's upsetting/But I've never felt more comfortable in the concept with things ending

“So I first learned about it from a Magnus Archives animatic, but basically it’s about art block and like. We’ve all been there. It’s just a banger and it hits ME right where it hurts, at least.”

Only (Nine Inch Nails)

Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab/And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad/I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at that scab/It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but I climbed through/Now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be/And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see/And now I know why, now I know/Why things aren't as pretty on the inside.

“There’s just something about the beat that is so hypnotic and the lyrics!!! It makes me insane and at the same time helps me feel less insane when I’m doing bad. I can’t even put into words what those lyrics mean to me, it’s just visceral VIBES. But the way Trent screams “there is no fucking you, there is only me” just MOVES something in me. Also the music video fucks too.”
