everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -
enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.
and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

"free palestine," he shouted until his last breath.
aaron bushnell, we will never forget you.
as much as bushnell's actions has moved us all, please seek other ways to take actionable measures against the injustices we face in the world. none of us wanted him gone, and the least we can do is prevent another such tragedy by supporting each other in our efforts to enact lasting change.

Sometimes you just are trying to live out your day and then your brain thinks:
What if in the opening titles of Season 3 Aziraphale and Crowley aren’t walking together anymore.

I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10
I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORM-
But just:
The two new hermits (Joel and Skizz) were from the life series and they immediately play demise which was a precursor to the life series
Gem and Impulse build on a cherry blossom mountain again
Scar and Joel are living on a mountain together and when Scar mentioned the name Magic Mountain they immediately looked at each other and Joel made a declaration that this will last longer than Magical Mountain
Impulse giving Bdubs a clock
Grian using sunflowers in his wheat field while he's neighbouring Scar
Etho telling Gem "Did that make you jump" when they fell off the hill in a boat together
Pearl calling the place she's building in a mound
Joel's reaction to seeing Etho on a boat
Yeah
