This is very good stuff. And it’s especially interesting when your protagonist isn’t one of the typical “main character” types like HERO and OUTLAW. Always consider fleshing out another archetype that you’ve been interested in but didn’t think would make a good focus of the story. Chances are, you’d be surprised at what you come up with!

Confessions, public art project, The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada by Candy Chang.
For one month, Chang lived in Vegas. Visitors could stop by, enter a booth, write whatever thoughts they wanted to share, and drop the confession into a box that mixed anonymously with other slips. Chang then took the anonymous slips and displayed them on the walls, painting selected responses in white against a larger red canvas background. According to Chang’s website, “This project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives.”
I cannot wait to see this.
How beautiful. ;D; Some of these are so deeply personal and bring up some issues that you never really think about until you see it in a tangible form.

Hello, pure gold. Nice to meet you.
So a few months ago, I modeled the main set of my Saint for Rent webcomic in Autodesk Maya. Here it is all rendered out and printed for reference while I draw the pages. x’D
I considered rendering the backgrounds out for for each panel and then drawing over them, but rendering takes a stupid long time. It’s faster to just draw it, lol. :/ Maybe I’ll figure out how to streamline the process later.
Since I’m not doing anything with my second monitor right now, I’ve stuck the print refs there. I’m super tech-savvy. :B
You want to say “Hi” to the cute girl on the subway. How will she react? Fortunately, I can tell you with some certainty, because she’s already sending messages to you. Looking out the window, reading a book, working on a computer, arms folded across chest, body away from you = do not disturb. So, y’know, don’t disturb her. Really. Even to say that you like her hair, shoes, or book. A compliment is not always a reason for women to smile and say thank you. You are a threat, remember? You are Schrödinger’s Rapist. Don’t assume that whatever you have to say will win her over with charm or flattery. Believe what she’s signaling, and back off.
If you speak, and she responds in a monosyllabic way without looking at you, she’s saying, “I don’t want to be rude, but please leave me alone.” You don’t know why. It could be “Please leave me alone because I am trying to memorize Beowulf.” It could be “Please leave me alone because you are a scary, scary man with breath like a water buffalo.” It could be “Please leave me alone because I am planning my assassination of a major geopolitical figure and I will have to kill you if you are able to recognize me and blow my cover.”
On the other hand, if she is turned towards you, making eye contact, and she responds in a friendly and talkative manner when you speak to her, you are getting a green light. You can continue the conversation until you start getting signals to back off.
The fourth point: If you fail to respect what women say, you label yourself a problem.
There’s a man with whom I went out on a single date—afternoon coffee, for one hour by the clock—on July 25th. In the two days after the date, he sent me about fifteen e-mails, scolding me for non-responsiveness. I e-mailed him back, saying, “Look, this is a disproportionate response to a single date. You are making me uncomfortable. Do not contact me again.” It is now October 7th. Does he still e-mail?
Yeah. He does. About every two weeks.
This man scores higher on the threat level scale than Man with the Cockroach Tattoos. (Who, after all, is guilty of nothing more than terrifying bad taste.) You see, Mr. E-mail has made it clear that he ignores what I say when he wants something from me. Now, I don’t know if he is an actual rapist, and I sincerely hope he’s not. But he is certainly Schrödinger’s Rapist, and this particular Schrödinger’s Rapist has a probability ratio greater than one in sixty. Because a man who ignores a woman’s NO in a non-sexual setting is more likely to ignore NO in a sexual setting, as well.
So if you speak to a woman who is otherwise occupied, you’re sending a subtle message. It is that your desire to interact trumps her right to be left alone. If you pursue a conversation when she’s tried to cut it off, you send a message. It is that your desire to speak trumps her right to be left alone. And each of those messages indicates that you believe your desires are a legitimate reason to override her rights.
For women, who are watching you very closely to determine how much of a threat you are, this is an important piece of data.
an excerpt from Phaedra Starling’s “Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced” (via cuntlovin)
This is important for everyone. Not just for guys, who need to know how to accept “no” for an answer, but also for girls. Everyone should know it’s all right if they “hurt someone’s feelings” by firmly saying no or “not giving them a chance.” This chance if your chance as well. It should be your basic right to choose who you want to be with. You shouldn’t have to accept every advance, and you shouldn’t be expected to feel flattered by it because they deigned to consider you attractive.

There are three main types of building materials in the natural world. Some require little in the way of processing, but others need to be changed before being used for construction. Animals can be very specific about the materials they use in their wonderful architecture, like choosing only specific colors. Here are some examples to follow the three main types of materials and structures.
Provided by the environment:
- Paper wasps (Hymenoptera) chew matter from dead wood to make a paper pulp, which they mix with saliva, and is then used to construct their nests. It’s especially handy since the nest is resistant to water.
- Male featherfin cichlids (Cyathopharynx furcifer) dump sand into a nest, which is used as a podium for displaying himself to potential mates.
- Mute swans (Cygnus olor) gather reeds and other vegetation to build their nests.
Provided by the animal:
- Silkmoth caterpillars (Bombyx mori) spin a cocoon of silk around themselves for pupation. Spiders also use silk, but for constructing webs.
- Termites (Blattodea) mix saliva with mud to create the exterior of their termite mounds.
- Cave swiftlets (Collocalia linchi) also use saliva to build nests.
Provided by another animal:
- Hermit crabs (Paguroidea)take over the empty shells of marine mollusks. The crab moves into larger shells with growth.
- The elf owl (Micrathene whitneyi) nests in old woodpecker holes in the stems of cacti.
- Birdhouses are included in this mix, too- they provide homes for wildlife, such as purple martins (Progne subis).
