They Are Already Selling Data To Midjourney, And It's Very Likely Your Work Is Already Being Used To

I have the strong mental image of them doing a spy mission into the depths of the agency to try to figure out what the secret is only the discover somebody high up in the agency has hidden their matchmaking plans totally not what I was expecting but okay so now they're sitting in one of those big oval conference rooms and the head of the agencies like you broke into our basement and they're like stop messing with our private life not sure if I should put any punctuation in here if it's just fine good night

You’re a spy. You and your partner always suspected that there was some deeper, hidden reason The Agency assigned the two of you together. Turns out the reason was: they thought you’d make a cute couple. They were RIGHT, and you DO make a cute couple, but still. It’s the principle of the thing

ancient humans were also just some guy, if you got a baby from 60,000 BC and raised him in the 21st century he’d just be another teen boy named logan who tech decks off your arm

This Hubble image captures a portion of a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. Dark nebulae ― also called absorption nebulae ― are clouds of gas and dust that neither emit nor reflect light, instead blocking light coming from behind them. These nebulae tend to contain large amounts of dust, which allows them to absorb visible light from stars or nebulae beyond them.

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?

Here’s a thing I’ve had around in my head for a while!

Okay, so I’m pretty sure that by now everyone at least is aware of Steampunk, with it’s completely awesome Victorian sci-fi aesthetic. But what I want to see is Solarpunk – a plausible near-future sci-fi genre, which I like to imagine as based on updated Art Nouveau, Victorian, and Edwardian aesthetics, combined with a green and renewable energy movement to create a world in which children grow up being taught about building electronic tech as well as food gardening and other skills, and people have come back around to appreciating artisans and craftspeople, from stonemasons and smithies, to dress makers and jewelers, and everyone in between. A balance of sustainable energy-powered tech, environmental cities, and wicked cool aesthetics. 

A lot of people seem to share a vision of futuristic tech and architecture that looks a lot like an ipod – smooth and geometrical and white. Which imo is a little boring and sterile, which is why I picked out an Art Nouveau aesthetic for this.

With energy costs at a low, I like to imagine people being more inclined to focus their expendable income on the arts!

Aesthetically my vision of solarpunk is very similar to steampunk, but with electronic technology, and an Art Nouveau veneer.

So here are some buzz words~

Natural colors! Art Nouveau! Handcrafted wares! Tailors and dressmakers! Streetcars! Airships! Stained glass window solar panels!!! Education in tech and food growing! Less corporate capitalism, and more small businesses! Solar rooftops and roadways! Communal greenhouses on top of apartments! Electric cars with old-fashioned looks! No-cars-allowed walkways lined with independent shops! Renewable energy-powered Art Nouveau-styled tech life!

Can you imagine how pretty it would be to have stained glass windows everywhere that are actually solar panels? The tech is already headed in that direction!  Or how about wide-brim hats, or parasols that are topped with discreet solar panel tech incorporated into the design, with ports you can stick your phone charger in to?

True. But if you listen long enough and expand your definition of related you will find a thread of coherency weaving through out

I’ve come to the harrowing realisation that the only way to write my book is to write my book

I may never recover

Thank you I find this really helpful as a new user

A guide for new tumblr users:

1) This place is not a place of honor… no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here. 

2) What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. 

3) The danger is in a particular location… it increases towards a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us. 

4) The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. 

5) The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

6) The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

7) The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
