Why fill a book strictly with words? I think this deters people from reading more. Insert illustrations and you can paint a better picture into the mind of the reader.
A wall of text is intimidating, and very one-way when it comes to learning and absorbing information. Insert some character designs, maps, graphs, or other forms of visual art, and you can inspire more (children and adults) to continue reading.
This is a collaborative blog for fiction, nonfiction, and general entertainment.

Marked Pitches On The Guitar
While thinking too much about guitar, I wondered how many of the 12 pitches are actually marked on the board. Marked, in this case, means a fret that has an inlay. It's a visual cue on the guitar and can be very helpful when trying to remember a pattern.
I decided to just write them all out. For this observation, open notes are also considered marked.
You can access 11 out of 12 pitches if you go by marked alone. The only unmarked pitch is D#. After fret 12, the pattern repeats. [12,15,17,19,21] is the same as [0,3,5,7,9], but an octave higher.
Here's a graph to show you just how many marks each pitch has.
I know that some guitars have inlays on fret 1, but many I see do not. However, marking that fret would give you at least one D#.

A reason Terraria is a good game
The class system is up to you. You can build a character to be a class suggested on the wiki, or you can invent your own class. With endless combinations of gear and vanity items, it's a wonder why people don't RP more in the game.
Gusli Russian Psaltery Maxim Anukhin Максим Анухин гусли
I love gusli music. Songs played on this instrument sound so soothing and mystical. I'd like to own a gusli one day, although I have no idea how they work and they look extremely challenging to play. Still, it would be worth it just for this.

ant mounds
Just walking around at Phinizy and noticing there's so many ant mounds. I saw a bunch more after the video, of course.

Subliminal
Is it still a subliminal message if you're really good at ignoring it? Isn't it just... air?

Nothing
There is no good advice. It's all nothing, bias, and the ramblings of the limited perspectives of others. Everything is nothing in the end. Even time.
Take it and use it if you can.
Struggle either way.

That "Egyptian" song from the Lego Island end credits
I've always loved this track from Lego Island. I want to make music like this, but with my own twist of course.

Rush - Secret Touch
Kinda reminds me of some of the stuff me and Graye jam on. I wonder if I should be listening to more of Rush?

Floppy Ears and the Big Guns - Jazz Jackrabbit Theme
Jazz Jackrabbit was a cool platformer for MS-DOS, released in 1994. I can't believe that I remembered the year before checking Google. Anyway, check out this band, Floppy Ears and the Big Guns.

Happy Valentine's Day, Love
Slight infatuation with a stranger...
Trapped together within the Cages of the Internet...
Commonly grounded on topics of virtual realities
And manipulative waifus of playful Harems.
He, my favorite of the many waifus I have forced into matrimony,
Including the one of the title HoneyBee,
Became a harbor to share comedic antics and
Awkward relapses of PvP induced arthritis.
My Princess of Redbeard!
Oh! Joyous day for senpai has noticed me!
He hath the most luscious of curled facial fibers of Red.
Even so my mother warned:
Never trust a ginger…
But dearest I trust that he
Not break this little rose secluded within wiry entangles of needle-like spines… #Sarcasm2OP
A smile, as bright as the molten blob of
Solar flares and gaseous combustion.#SunFarts
Tempting the Inhabitant of Earth
To gaze upon a Modern Medusa
(included with male organs)
And so she glances and cries:
“IT BURNS! God in heaven tell Cupid to
‘F*CK OFF!’”
Though this feels like Hou-Yi never shot down the
Jade Emperor's nine suns
Too hot to breathe on the Sodom that is
Earth
Heaven is not so far away
Anymore
Conversations cringe worthy to most,
“Turd Blossom!”
“Piss Pillow!”
“Ugly whore with terets!”
“Can I be your whore?”
“Sure, so this means I can touch your boobs right?”
Are just more ways to say “I love you”
I wish to preside within the Lair of Bears
To kiss a babe’s face adorned in prissy red pricks
To wake with his protective presence
To meet a day together, rather than apart
I wish you were a girl...
Sweet Sickness from kisses
Ignite the fervent fever of my immune systems result in
A disease,
That festers from the heart and spreads throughout the body
Like a cancer.
It pulls me into the straps of a gurney
At the Hospital of Natividad.
Oh! Sweet inevitable death will not be so wrong,
If you are the one to kill me.
Happy Valentine’s Day
愛してる
