There’s no real set workflow, or agenda, or trajectory as a piece gets to its end state. It’s a whole range of different ways. Usually it starts with some kind of crystallized seed of something, like a melodic hook or some motif, or a chord change or something, that I take and then work on really physically, and push things, and improvise over and pummel and invert and use all the techniques I have of manipulating sound to push that little seed into something that blooms or transforms into something more substantial.

Maybe I'm just being pretentious, but I sort of approach my own work in the same way, so I'm glad I'm not the only person who does it.
Well actually I should clarify that I'm not sure if I'm interpreting "physically" the same way as he is,
but otherwise it's quite similar.
Granted, Mr. Hecker and I make vastly different kinds of music, but still.
It seems like Meredith is hell-bent on gobbling up every magazine out there
(also, fucking hell I wanted to buy Time Inc.)
It kind of makes sense; who reads actual, printed magazines anymore? I bet the major buyers are places like doctor's offices (so you have something to read while waiting for your appointment), people who prefer printed copies, and people in places where Internet access is not allowed (i.e. prison).
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Do you think the digital demand for magazines will ever get very big?
Honestly I'm thinking that now that media consumption is converging towards "second screens", the diversified media conglomerate makes more sense now than it did 20 years ago...
AU: I actually don't know. I know the publishers have been pushing tablet versions of their magazines for a while now (and a few only have tablet versions, which is silly because of all the people on PCs and smartphones), but I have no idea how many people actually bother. I don't have a tablet, myself, so I guess I'm missing out.
my feeling is that it's kind of problematic because it's a product of an earlier era, a repressive and homophobic era, while not in itself being repressive or homophobic.
Like, keep in mind that it's a ship that predates not only Sherlock (the TV show), but also tumblr and Internet fandom as a whole. It's a ship so well-established that it's been the subject of a not-insubstantial amount of academic criticism which is more than can be said for most ships.
And it's an understandable ship in a way because there is no character in the original Sherlock Holmes stories that Sherlock shows more affection towards than Watson. Of course Watson is married and there's no suggestion of Sherlock being gay in the original books, and what the books depict is a platonic/homosocial relationship with no suggestion of sexual activity, but then for a very long time there was no favourable representation of homosexual relationships in fiction, so shipping and fanfiction kind of evolved to meet that need.
So my take would be that Moffat and Gatiss are not queerbaiting by playing to the shippers, so much as catering to the expectations of a very large segment of the existing Sherlock Holmes fandom, and they're not the only ones to do so; Guy Ritchie did the same in his adaptations, for instance.
So the kind of arguments on tumblr about whether the characters are gay or straight and whether expressing an opinion one way or the other is indicative of bigotry or not look to me to be an ugly byproduct of a deliberate ambiguity in the way that the characters' relationship is written, which is itself a product of a clash between two cultures, the queer culture of the oppressive, repressive 20th and late 19th centuries on the one hand and the modern social liberalism of Moffat/Gatiss/tumblr on the other.
idk, just my thoughts on that.
Largely unrelated to the above, it is a pretty catchy ship name, although i don't ship it.
The only girl I ever loved Was born with roses in her eyes But then they buried her alive One evening, 1945 With just her sister at her side And only weeks before the guns All came and rained on everyone Now she's a little boy in Spain Playing pianos filled with flames On empty rings around the Sun All sing to say "my dream has come"
But now we must pick up every piece of the life we used to love, just to keep ourselves, at least enough to carry on
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Speaking as someone who eats a lot junkier than he really should, that food sounds a little too heavy for me even for just one visit. I couldn't imagine eating there every day.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
so there are like three girls at my school who like me
how do i deal with this information
Option 1: Kidnap them, drag them off into the woods and have them fight each other to the death for the honor of your love. Great if you want to improve your supervillain status.
Option 2: Take their pictures, put them on a dartboard and throw a dart. Whichever one you hit, you date. Very avant-garde.
Option 3: Use your system of surveillance cameras to monitor them for a week. This'll allow you to make an informed decision.
Option 4: Find out that you're not a good match for any of them. Respectfully tell them that you're not interested and cry yourself to sleep. A personal specialty.

I really want to eat but it hurts.
get Shoot First, it's a top-down shooter/roguelike hybrid and it's fun as fuck. Also there are leaderboards.
if you have a slightly more capable computer, get Path of Exile too, it's for fans of Diablo and/or Torchlight especially.
yay
I gotta do stuffs and then go to work
so bye, Heap.

Did you get the perfect ending? (It's different on the DX version, and hits harder imo.)
The only girl I ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening, 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the Sun
All sing to say "my dream has come"
But now we must pick up every piece
of
the
life we used to love,
just
to
keep ourselves, at least enough to carry on
(romantic pursuit is not my natural inclination, you can probably guess that)
Awesome.
Greater than awesome.
