The Swimming Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurt brief thoughts

Was this a light-hearted celebration of gay life or "British Psycho"? Disturbing!

things in the caverns under the city of Dundee:

dwarves

laser horses

ruins left by the starlords of eternity

sword lord of the goblin horde

zargothrax's hibernating clone legion

ancient closed gateway to the 18th hell dimension

a crack in spacetime

ralathor

#what next? are the starlords gonna put 38b angus II under there?#i stg if we find out the cave Angus II finds Tooley in in He Has Returned is in the dundee caverns #this situation reminds me of being on a creative mincraft server functioning off of a plot system #where theres these rp maps. and if they get heavy use then they get build updates #but if they're on a small plot? theres nowhere for the updates to go!#so the cave systems under the plot get very. very. busy.#one place i used to frequent had underground 1. giant library labyrinth #2. swimming pool #3. the nether #4. at least a dozen different tiny secret bases built by people who obtained build perms #5. spa resort for kaiju #6. evil murder basement #shitpost #gloryhammer

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

#I think I would have: an indoor pool (but like heavily customized with a faux weather system so I could get the feeling of swimming in #rain or fog or snow etc.). a very small arcade consisting only of skee-ball and DDR machines. and an old Library Room with authentic #historical furniture/interior design to store old books/tapestries/study room equipment/whatever other antiques I'd collect. It'd be #like some fully intricate movie set or something that would feel completely like stepping into another world/time.#Though I might would trade out the arcade for a roller skating rink.. i DO love skating....#And I wouldve put rock climbing gym because I love indoor rock climbing but.. as I understand it they have to change out the rock things #on the walls every once in a while so that you can have new routes and it doesnt get boring. and I'd rather have an activty room thats like #self sustaining and doesnt require me to hire some person to come switch things around once every month. Otherwise I would #totally do that instead.#I'm also personally not counting ''craft'' type stuff like having a pottery room kiln sort of thing because #that doesn't count as 'unnessecary' to me. since stuff like that would not at all be just a hobby I 'happen to #do sometimes for fun'#but would definitely be a career sort of thing. Like if I had the money for a fully stocked sculpture room and and a sewing room #with a good machine and etc. then I would literally be professionally selling pottery and designing clothing and etc.#so I wouldn't count it as 'just a random side room I dont need' etc.#The same way that if I played tennis professionally or as a very intense hobby that takes up most of my life/time #then I wouldn't count having a tennis court in your house to practice in as 'unncesscarry' etc.#wow that is the worst I have ever spelt that word ghbjh #Un Cess Carry #ALSO would obviously have an underground bunker of some sort with food and emergency supplies which also does not count as unnecessary to m #since it's literally like... survival.. And I thought most health organizations literally reccomend that even #the common person has a small 'go bag' prepared in their house. and like an evacuation plan in case of fire or other things #It WOULD be an unnecessary rich person thing to have a full on undergRound village or something stocked with 9000 guns and #whaetever. but I think just a basic emergency room with basic supplies could still be counted under the 'not unnecessary' requirement.#Like I would say that a sprawling courtyard of flower gardens and fountains and hedge mazes that takes up like a hundred thousand #dollars a year in maintenance would count as one of the three 'unnecessary and expensive' things. But having a small garden in the #back yard with a few planters in a little greenhouse or whatever would not. The 'excessiveness' of the thing matters lol #ANYWAY!!!#Just curious what other peoples Three Main things would be... hrrmm

Welcome to My World – A Little Bit of Everything with Almas Fatima

Hello, lovely readers! 🌸

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Almas Fatima, and I’m absolutely thrilled to start this journey with you. This blog is where I’ll pour my heart, share my passions, and connect with amazing people like you.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’ve always been drawn to creativity and the magic it brings into our lives. Photography is one of my greatest loves—there’s something so special about freezing a moment in time, capturing stories hidden in everyday life, and sharing them through a lens.

Painting is another passion that feels like therapy to me. I adore the way colors come to life on a blank canvas, allowing me to express emotions and tell stories without saying a word. Each stroke feels like a conversation with my inner self, and I can’t wait to share some of my favorite creations with you.

When I’m not behind the camera or holding a paintbrush, I’m always on the lookout for new hobbies to explore. Life is an endless canvas, and I believe in trying everything that sparks joy, from crafting to baking, or simply enjoying the beauty of a good book and a cup of coffee.

This blog is a reflection of all those passions and more. Here, you’ll find inspiring quotes that lift your spirits, stories that make you think, and glimpses into my creative world. My goal is to create a space where you feel inspired, connected, and maybe even a little more curious about the magic of everyday life.

I hope you’ll join me on this adventure. Whether it’s through your comments, feedback, or just silently enjoying the content, I’d love to have you as part of this journey. Let’s make this a space filled with creativity, inspiration, and positivity.

Thank you for being here. Stay tuned for some exciting posts coming your way soon:) this is just the beginning!

Warm hugs and lots of love, Almas Fatima
