The Tower is The Black Desert of Virgil’s nightmares.

Every time he sleeps, the shades of the people he’s wronged chase, torture, and kill him. Over and over.

A Hell he built for himself, but in a place with no light… everything may not be what it seems.

Tower is Krythlan

She's 6'3", 18 and full of rage

Upright: she's gonna raze the world and tear down the system

Reversed: her biodad is 130 years in the past, her mum is gone and her stepdad can't protect her anymore. The world simultaneously wants her dead and to save them

This is a tease for a later book, but the Tower is The Capital Express train to Primasedes (the Kingdom Capital).

First thought was Rivals for obvious reasons, but actually, Rebirth as a book fits Tower too (and hasn't been used)-- it's the initial destruction of innocence for Kylie + the start of continuous catatrophes

Today's card is: THE TOWER

Who or what from your writing would you put on it and how does it fit the meanings?

Yesterday, I said Thaddeus for Death (one of my fave cards, btw). Today, I'm saying his brother, Josiah "Joe" Cooper, for The Tower (the card that scares me the most when it comes up in readings). Joe was a homophobic, destructive, misogynistic piece of shit, who's only good day was the day he died.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

#DeckTheHalls Antrim Sojourner is the CEO of Sojourner Tech and chairman of the board for Medicine Leaf. He's a raging asshole who can't see past his own short-sighted desires, and he brings ruin to all he touches. Because he's a shithead.

Don't worry, "Hellfire's ethereal" they said.

Well, when you set a hearse on fire with it to burn a giant pentagram to summon a gigantic serpent lawyer... It still has to obey SOME laws of physics.

But don't worry, we have an old man.

Moving it would be much better cos it makes a statement too.
At what point do we talk about either moving Worldcon or, at the very least, having an international alternative?
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.
