The one girl with "headmates" I've known had like, a living space in her head that she could describe in detail - her own house, a street, other houses where the other headmates lived, etc. Anyway yeah her headmates fought all the time. Two of them were mortal enemies, a demon and a figment of her real-life (internet) boyfriend's psyche or something. The demon knocked her up in headspace but I have no idea if that was consensual or not. She then had twin headmate babies who actually came out about four or five years old, and found out that one of the twins was the boyfriend-figment's because he didn't have glowing red eyes.

This was pre-tumblr and seven years ago so who knows what she's doing now. Have you ever had to console a fifteen-year-old virgin over the miscarriage they suffered on some kind of astral plane? HEADMATES.

e: this was one of the first results when I googled headmates.


doubleedit: how could I forget? I was writing this in response to the concept of dead headmate's corpses piling up in there and yeah, the boyfriend figment killed another dude over something. Iirc she told me he'd set him up to be bitten by a snake. So there are also snakes in headspace.

There's no problem with that sentence, but it's less awkward if you say 'all of you' instead.

"You all" is slightly, slightly different than a plural you would be. A plural you in that sentence "That decision would be up to you(s)," would mean that multiple people have to decide, but not necessarily all of the people present. "You all" implies that every single person is involved.

Correct. The difference is between "y'all", which can be partially exclusive, and "all y'all", which is definitely inclusive. None of this is a joke; linguistics is a bizarre field.

He probably digs that people hate his character so passionately. It's a sign of a job well done, I would think. I'm guessing most people don't get him confused with his character. But I'm onboard with your show idea.

"The Guardian posted:

For instance, he says, he'd met a woman the previous night and they'd talked for 10 minutes, before she had asked him the inevitable question: "How do I know your face?"

Kartheiser had no option but to own up. "I said, 'I'm that guy Pete Campbell in the TV show Mad Men.'"

And then it started. Kartheiser shrugs, resigned: "She said, 'Oh my God, I loving hate you.' And I go, 'Well, you mean you hate my character.' She said, 'No, it's more than that. When you come on the screen, I don't want to be in the room. It's a completely physical thing. You make my flesh creep. I loathe you.'" Kartheiser laughs a little wildly. "I mean, where do you go from there?"

He's hard to hate after you see him out of character. I actually kind of regret finding this because it clashes with how much I love hating him on GOT.

These pictures are from an old Nation Geographic book I found at a thrift-store called The Universe. It had a small, weird, chapter on what alien life might look like on different planets/moons in our solar system:


Butt-rocket, shrimp-trout eating dogs from Titan


A Martian Ear-Egg-Bird


Green speed-skaters from Europa


Ice-urchin's from Pluto, and another species of rear end-blaster, this time a trash-eating troll from Venus (I'm getting a Weird Science vibe here.)


Wyven's from Jupiter and their prey, the living hot-air balloon.
