Can they 3D print me a new planet? This one has been disappointing lately.
it looks like the link is broken! you can use this one instead.
@itsbio thanks for pointing out the broken link, i found someone who found a not-broken one
Thanks! 😀
if we’re talking about map generators, this one is my favourite. it doesn’t let you view it in 3d, but it does create countries and settlements to populate them with.
Fic summary: “I imagine you’re wondering how I survived my fall into the Void to eventually arrive on Earth, looking like death warmed over (but a very stylishly attired death, I might add). It’s a fairly interesting story, if not a pleasant one, so I’m perfectly willing to tell you. I do, after all, have rather a lot of time to kill.” After his fall, Loki finds his way into the criminal underworld of the Andromeda Galaxy, where he makes a name for himself with his unusual skills and attracts the attention of Thanos.
Chapter summary: Loki is brought as a prisoner to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier… and begins to have serious doubts about his mission.
(…or do I merely exist?)
This is by far my longest hiatus between updates: it’s been 13 and a half months since I posted the previous chapter. I’m really sorry, guys. I’ve had a lot going on in the year since my last update: I finished and defended my dissertation; I applied for a crap ton of jobs (more than 60); I finally(!!) got a job… a 1-year postdoc, which means I’m already on the job market again; I moved to Canada for this 1-year job, which has presented a variety of administrative hassles; and now I’m teaching my own class for the first time (not just TAing for a professor).
I’m also sorry that, in addition to being a year late, this chapter is shorter than usual and not much happens. Well, not much happens externally… most of the action is going on in Loki’s head. And while, as you all know, I was not on the whole pleased with Ragnarok, it did provide me with an interesting mechanism for introducing some of Loki’s doubts.
The story of Superman and Moses are actually very similar. Both were sent away in a capsule, as their family was about to be killed, and were adopted into another family. After reaching adulthood, they used their special powers to benefit those around them
It’s almost as if the story of Moses was important to the creators of Superman in some way
There’s been at least 1 iconic bi musician in the spotlight for every decade in the last 100 years. And there’s at least one for many genres too!
1910’s: Bessie Smith, Blues & Jazz
She was one of the most popular singers during the time, and was given the nickname “Empress of the Blues”. She embraced her bisexuality. In fact, one of her hits, “It’s Dirty But Good” includes lyrics alluding to lesbian sex.
1920’s: Josephine Baker, Jazz
Cabaret dancer, singer, and actress. She fled the US because of racism and served France in WW2 as a spy against the Nazi’s. She came back to the US and was a civil rights activist. She was more private about her bisexuality but she is linked to bi artist Frida Kahlo.
1930’s: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Rock
She’s called the “Godmother of Rock n’ Roll”, and is a huge pioneer in this genre. The PBS special “Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock n’ Roll” tells us she was bisexual, and tried to live as openly as she could during her time.
1940’s: Billie Holiday, Jazz
One of the most legendary jazz singers of all time. Her stormy relationships with men inspired many of her songs, but she was also linked to actress Tallulah Bankhead.
1950’s: Sammy Davis Jr., Jazz, Swing, Traditional Pop
“Rat Pack” singer, dancer, vaudevillian. He was a huge civil rights activist, and after converting to Judaism he found solidarity between the Jewish and black communities’ struggles. He fought for interracial marriage. He was a supporter of gay rights, and spoke openly about his affairs with men and women.
1960’s: Janis Joplin, Pshychedelic Rock, Blues
Bridged the gap between pshychedelic rock/blues and soul. Lived only 27 years but her musical legacy didn’t wait for her death to start influencing the sound of her contemporaries. Openly had relationships with women, hid nothing.
1970’s: Freddie Mercury, Hard Rock, fused with everything else under the sun
The most famous bisexual in history. Voice of an angel. Loved titties. Wouldn’t record a duet with Michael Jackson because he brought his llama to the studio. Musical prodigy. He knew he’d be a legend from the beginning. He was more private about his sexuality, but he dated men and women nonetheless, and he wrote and sang about them.
1980’s: Grace Jones, Funk, Disco
Androgynous icon. No record of her actually using the word “bisexual”, though has declared her attraction to women, and of course married men. She’s a gem. Her early music was rooted in disco, but she brought her own Jamaican reggae influences to the sound. Her striking look made her a favorite muse within the New York art scene of the 70’s and 80’s.
1990’s: Billie Joe Armstrong, Punk Rock
Frontman of Green Day, who are credited with capturing the mainstream’s interest in punk rock. They were still very political, and wrote about not blindly following the government. Their song “Coming Clean” is about him questioning his bisexuality.
2000’s: Amy Winehouse, Jazz, Blues, Soul, R&B
Brought jazz and blues back to the mainstream after 40 years of them essentially being irrelevant to popular music. Her pen game was unmatched. Unapologetically bisexual and sang about women in a few songs.
2010’s: Janelle Monáe, Funk, R&B, Pop
A protégé of Prince, and the funkiest entity in the music industry since his passing. She has spoken about how her gender non-conformity is an homage to her working class roots, and speaks about feminism, race, and sexuality in her music. A legend in the making.
It makes me really happy that bisexuals have played a big part in shaping entertainment and music and have been a huge presence for the past century. Part of why it makes me feel so happy is because bisexuality is often dismissed as performative, attention-seeking, and empty. And it’s like, well…we’re definitely performing…and we just so happen to have gotten attention from it. But it’s not unsubstantial. Bi entertainers are singing about the meaningful relationships that their attraction to multiple genders has enabled them to have.
Here is my work for you. Thor and Loki. Yes, I decided to draw this, because many wanted to see it, and so did I. But I know that Loki will definitely come back. He needs Thor! So it was and so it will be! After all, how many times Loki did not betray Thor, only one thing remained unchanged: “Loki, come home!” Thor and Loki together to the end! They are not just brothers, they are one, one can not exist without the other. Remember the passage from the Avengers, where Loki says: – “I am Loki, from Asgard, and I am entrusted with a glorious mission” And Selvig to him: – “Loki is the brother of the Thor?” I do not represent Thor without Loki, even reading comics, I find constant references to these two. The eternal gods of Asgard, which we need
Loki is the Philosopher King
