starting Pride month off right: by writing the most self-indulgent queer shit I can get away with

And maybe Connie should have been more concerned about this. Maybe she should have realized then that it was a stupid idea to date a future supervillain when they would be on opposite sides in a few years. Maybe she should have known better than to just cuddle up closer to Akina and let her wings wrap around them both. But when had Connie ever shied away from throwing herself off a ledge? The fall was too blissful to quit.

help me choose a name for my new sci-fi queer Orpheus/Eurydice retelling bc i cant make decisions but this new idea is consuming me and i gotta have something to call it

blurb for the story so far:

The Order of the Light of the Sun holds back the darkness threatening to consume the universe. They bright light to chase out the shadows before they may form and devour the innocents. Orpheus has always been proud of his place within the Order, of the good he can do there. He also looked forward to when he might retire, and settle down on a small, nowhere planet with his beloved. Eurydice has always been the shining light of the Order, trained from childhood to one day sit upon the Sun Throne and spend his very life to ensure the people may live that much longer. To live is to serve; to serve is to die. He has humored Orpheus and his dreams of the future, never realizing they could be anything more than idle fantasy. When Eurydice is sent on a mission that can only end in his death, Orpheus is quick to follow after. He is not ready to give up on their future, and he will fight for it until his dying breath. Eurydice is ready to die; Orpheus will be the voice that draws him back from the brink of death. Now, Orpheus just has to be fast enough to reach him, and loud enough to be break through the lifetime of loyal brainwashing his beloved has been put through.

sometimes artists worry if their art is actually capable of making the world a better place, or if its all just wasted effort. what you need to remember is: all art is evil, and the sole aspiration of the artist should be to maim as many onlookers as possible.

to all my researchers, students and people in general who love learning: if you don't know this already, i'm about to give you a game changer

connectedpapers

the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you're looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!

for example: here i search "human B12"

i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of "b12 levels" and "fraility syndrome"

here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it's position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)

you get a few free graphs a month before you have to sign up, and i think the free version gives you up to 5 a month. there are paid versions but it really depends how often you need to use this kinda thing.

researchrabbit works similarly. you do need to create an account to use it, but it is completely free (as far as I know), meaning no limits to your collections/graphs.

There’s a certain folkloric idea that if you die at sea, your soul is sort of. Inextricably stuck in the sea. Because your body is irretrievable, your soul is also irretrievable, down out of the reach of the gods who look at the surface of the world. In Norse mythology, they said that the souls of sailors who died at sea are caught in the sea-goddess Rán’s net and dragged into her domain, a distinct and separate afterlife alongside Hel and Valhalla. Davy Jones Locker. The funayūrei. A lot of cultures agree that once sea has a hold on you, even when your body has rotted and dwindled and been made food for crabs, it still won’t let you go.

Do you think we’re going to wind up saying the same thing about astronauts.

When the pairing is so good that it doesn’t matter if you see it as romantic or platonic. What matters is that you see them and know that one is not complete without the other. Frequently bought together. Do not separate. If you separate them one of them will bite you

"Came back wrong" but they actually came back exactly the same, it's you who changed, so even though they're here again it still doesn't feel like it used to. You can raise the dead but you can't change that they died and time passed without them

[tlirsgender]

They came back just fine but the first thing they say is "what happened to you?"

[valtsv]

it has to be said i <3 characters who are victims of circumstances they created for themselves. especially when the bed they made for themselves to lie in is so horribly cruel and punishing that it interrogates the idea that anyone can be truly said to "deserve" anything at all.

[valtsv]

it's hard not to feel sympathy for the devil when he's exiled from heaven, after all

[ilynpilled]

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually
