a cultivated husk

Guy who says “I’m contributing to traffic” instead of “I’m stuck in traffic”.

Happy pride month to him

Solarpunk has failed. It's time for the Solar Gothic. Show me an environmentally conscious world that is haunted by its past; where its failures still intrude upon the present. Where the characters live in the shadow of a decadent but much more materially wealthy past whose crumbling edifices mock them with the waste and the missed opportunities they represent. Show me characters who remember the promise of modernity, the story of ever-growing progress, and either lament that it is not for them or continue to cling to it like madmen. Show me a world that's trapped, claustrophobically, in an anthropocene that they are only gradually learning to manage, and where all former illusions of mastery or permanence have been dispelled.

oh I want this so bad

is that song actually character-coded or is your brain a character-shaped hammer looking for lyrics to nail down somewhere
