    To have the opportunity to create a Guild of Sacred Temple Prostitutes, unionize it, set the bar high, make sure our guild is the most famous across the length and breadth of the ancient world, its renown surviving even the burning of the Ancient Library of Alexandria.

    Seems pretty obvious, don’t you think? :whistle:

    ETA: The Order of Pillar and Stones alters the course of Western Civilization, supplanting the Templars and Masons, embracing and exalting our sisters in the Order of Orchid and Lace as our holy counterparts. Together, the Sisters and Brothers guide Babylon into the present day, resplendent and glorious, the seat of knowledge and learning, pleasure and truth. The discoveries of the Renaissance happen a thousand years earlier, we avoid the destruction of the environment and climate change, and @Cave Troll gets his Sci-Fi city today, now.

    I wanted to pick something, too, but then I realized how lost I'd be without toilet paper, a proper shower once in a while, and not dying of starvation and/or cholera.

    I don't think you were here for my first avatar. Though I don't think I remember what the first one was...:superthink:

    I have been:
    A Cave Troll from LOR.
    Nurse Julia from Klinik Fetish twice.
    An undead lady in a blue dress.
    A cat in scrubs.
    Me in scrubs. (Twice I think)
    A Mad Scientist lady.
    A Psycho Heart Surgeon.
    GIR from Invader Zim
    An evil dead creature crawling from under a tree.
    Gothic Red Riding Hood.
    A Helghast Trooper from Killzone
    A Space Marine from WH40K (1-3 times)
    And that is all I can remember. Though The
    most previous one was me at my mother's house. :)

    Haha I see. I still prefer the last one you had because you can see you.
    It was more relatable to me anyway. This one just feels different. Even when you post now it comes across different. :)

    I suppose, but I like to change things up every so often cause I get bored.
    So I can commend those who have had the same avatar pic since the beginning. :)

    If it weren't for the chromosomal damage and hair loss, that city is a dream for anyone interested in remodeling. Imagine the luxury flats you could carve out of these mildly Brutalist, Soviet-era buildings.

    I haven't travelled all that much, but I would say I am happy enough having been born in London. :)
