Sometimes, people tell me random things and then stories happen. Like that time a friend told me to write a Doctor Who stapler monster. Stuff like that

When Jackie brings him home, Rose thinks it’s the worst thing ever.
“Mum, no. We still haven’t gotten the stains out from last time.”
“It’ll be fine,” Jackie tells her, not a care in the world as she prods the newest addition to the Tyler household into the spare room. She closes the door, locks it six different ways, and only then does the thump come from the inside. That’s some heavy sedation. “This one’s different.”
“Mum, you say that about everything.”
She feels like a child for it - mum, mum, mum - but someone has to put their foot down, even if only looks like she’s stomping her way into a tantrum.
Jackie sighs. “This one is different. New prototype, Jacob says down at the store.”
Rose puts her hands on her hips. “Do you still have to feed him?”
“It’s not that different.”
“Great,” Rose says in a huff. “He’ll be dead before the month’s out, then.”
“Then stop being sentimental about it,” Jackie tells her.

They’ve never had a polite one, before. She hadn’t realized that happened. It makes her remember her own manners, even if Mickey would mock her for talking to the Flesh this way. So what? Some people talk to plants

I've just re-read Behavioural Modification, and also stumbled upon this utterly ludicrous book (scroll down to read the first chapter).
The author argues, using Maslow's hierarchy of needs and asserting that sex is one of those needs: Unsatisfied needs lead to ill health (mental or physical or both); a cure is achieved by satisfying these needs.
and goes on to say: Unfortunately, our government has totally abdicated its responsibility to uphold the natural right to sexual fulfillment... Fact is, after more than two centuries of independence, our national sexual economy remains a distorted shambles. Any woman who wants to lead an active sex life has it, while tens of millions of men suffer from extreme sexual deprivation despite heroic efforts.
- and more in a similar vein.
There is also this: We should clarify here that this book is about the sexual deprivation of heterosexual men , which makes the beliefs and behaviors of heterosexual women a critical issue to be explored in depth. Although many homosexual men have indeed been

This has been a great thing to have mulling over in the back of my head, but I'm not going to answer this prompt here. Behavioural Modification now has a sequel, Covert Conditioning, at 60% of a first draft. (By which I mean 55 pages, because clearly I am insane and need to remember that writing through meals will not actually put sustenance in my belly.) It deals more blatantly with the past abuse than the first one, but will definitely feature this issue as well.
Traditional name: The Fool. However, since the Major Arcana can be seen as telling the story of the Fool's journey to enlightenment, the rename makes sense.
And if you want a clearer picture, I own the deck and a camera, so.
