OK I saw a poll about something similar and now I am curious

-Assume it's a celebrity you like and that they haven't made a statement about this sort of thing.

-The celebrity in question is just casually out and about, they are not part of an event or panel.

-By "go up to them" I mean saying hello or asking for a picture

-If you have to talk to them as part of your job it doesn't count unless you also ask for something similar to the above.

-This is a judgement free zone, there is no correct answer I am just curious.

Inspired by this poll

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

Wyll Ravengard Cyberpunk2077 AU

[actualcryptid3]

You and I are simpatico re: Gale and weed/psychedelics, so my question(s) on your recent post about cyberpunk/Cyberpunk dank ass weed dealer Gale is: does DAWD Gale grow his own? Does he develop his own strains with cool names and detailed descriptions of their effects? Does he branch out (HA) into mushrooms, poppies, and other fun plants on the side? Does everyone know he's a dank ass weed dealer or is it the source of his secret slush fund?

You are asking a fairly simple question about Gale Dekarios and marijuana (in the Cyberpunk AU I am having in my mind) but sadly you brought that simple question to ME, an insane person. 

So in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, most recreational drug use is either abuse of biological weapons or “combat drugs” which can do anything from numb your pain sensors to boost neural capacity (these drugs and sort of post combat versions of them often crop up around instances of cyberpsychosis). There is synthcoke and “Glitter” and other psychedelics. But there’s nothing mellow, grounding,  meditative, spiritual, etc. No good times, only fast times. 

On a seemingly unrelated note, most food is somewhat synthetic, tied of course to the fact that farmers big and small were bought out, run out, killed, experimented on, etc by both government bodies and major corporations, for a variety of reasons. Largest of these agricultural dystopian threats is BioTechnica. BioTechnica owns seeds. They own wheat. They own the genetically modified versions of plants/crops that they have created to survive the worsening climate conditions of the dark future. The majority of this profit comes from CHOO2 and SovOil (gas/oil) so BioTechnica has very little motivation to use plants for anything other than fuel. AllFoods is BioTechnica’s brand. Functionally the only “groceries” in this world are synthetic byproducts with little regulation sold by BioTechnica. 

All this to say that the lack of weed-like substances was a perhaps unintended byproduct of corporate wars and government greed but is now part of a constant effort to keep ANY level of agriculture out of the hands of anyone who isn’t BioTechnica by abusing both government regulation and copyright/patent law. 

The antithesis of cyberpunk- and the only path to utopia or just basic optimism in its confines- is solarpunk. Here’s a video of a solarpunk agricultural based future (that was sadly only made as an ad campaign for Chobani, but this version has the ads removed) if you wish to gather the vibe without googling and finding yourself in weirdo subreddits tbqh.

I think Gale is ABSOLUTELY playing around with strains. I think Gale is at first a one man dispensary (perhaps to treat his orb pains initially if we transfer that to a cyberpunk AU) but that it does spread out into a bigger operation. What the Mox have meant to SWers, he and his crew could inhabit a sort of underground, reactionary fill-the-gap, protect-the-weak operation for those potentially facing cyberpsychosis, dealing with various pains from various disabilities, or simply desperate to treat the obvious mental health nightmare of this world without turning to the synthetic adrenaline rush until you die path. 

I’m crawling towards solarpunk revolutionaries in my long form post Sun ending SilverV heavy fic and just having begun the work in THAT way, it’s hard to imagine moving into shrooms, poppies, etc without moving into full on war first. For me, Gale in any world where he keeps the narrative path of BG3 is a man who at his best wants to level the playing field and protect people, at his worst to ascend himself so that he might feel above who does the harm, however much that is an illusion or ultimately harmful. I can fully see Gale in a situation where he quietly aids a rebellion while maintaining his position in some important clergy-esque corporate position until he can’t anymore. I could even see him dying in the attempt. I don’t mean that it would be all good choices and glory. I once again must point to Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica and say THIS IS THE SAME GUY IN DIFFERENT FONTS! All of this to say, there’s a world where Gale Dekarios aids in taking and/or keeping some of the BioTechnica greenhouses, perhaps with the aid of former military and Nomad clans he has assisted. 

Which is like, um, a long way to say that… he would make shrooms in the right conditions. I am sorry and/or you are welcome that I am like this. :)

Reblog with your score

[actualcryptid3]

honestly yeah, fiber arts is magic. you cast spell of warm gloves, spell of nice hat, spell of stuffed animal.

material component: yarn

wand: single hooked wand or double pointed wands, depending on caster's preference

mechanical component: specific motions repeated in a particular pattern

time component: a while

look seriously the first step in a knitting recipe is "cast on", and then it's a bunch of letters and numbers incomprehensible to anyone not versed in the arcane art. that's a spellbook. yes it's a book of knitting patterns but also. it's a spell book.

[actualcryptid3]

It's them cyberpunk girls

I finally listened to Mothica’s new album a couple days ago and Afterlife feels like such a Johnny Silverhand song! It really gives me Johnny taking over V’s body for the first time vibes. And there’s even move fun in playing around with the meaning of afterlife for this. We can keep it literal or think of The Afterlife.
