No matter how much you love your bias, at least respect their personal space.

Honestly, I don’t believe those “fans” really love their biases/idol stars. Obsession isn’t the same thing as love. And if they refuse to recognize them as actual people and not their playthings, well… *shrug*

#someone has to say it 

I love Takanashi-kun. He’s kind of similar to Katsuragi, but with cute things instead of otome/galge games…

"Read as much as you can and as widely as you can. Every writer alive will give you the same advice. You don’t become a writer until you’ve first been a reader. An editor needs to have read a lot, but also to possess a sense of story structure, an ear for prose rhythm, a sound knowledge of grammar, and a willingness to check all kinds of things."

Avenue U Station // Q subway train
Jason Middlebrook: Brooklyn Seeds, 2011
Glass mosaic

Jason Middlebrook’s mosaic installation, Brooklyn Seeds, is a monumentally-scaled garden of wildflowers climbing up the stair wall extending from Avenue U to the elevated train platform. Created in glass mosaic, the choice of plants is based upon local wildflowers that grow in unlikely places, through cracks in the sidewalk, alleys, and walls. Middlebrook’s work explores the place where the urban and manmade intersect with the natural to survive and flourish. These flowers, often weeds, include such local specimens as spotted knapweed, burdock, golden rod, aster, milkweed and daises. Above many of the mosaic plants are airborne seed pods floating away to germinate, on a journey of their own.
