As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
drafting his design a little 💕 still in the works but I thought he deserved a fresh face ^^
Lowell can design clothes, so is he inspired by the style like a mix of Japanese fashion, vintage, or gothic stuff?
Lowell first got into fashion design while he was in middle school- he was really into scene, cybergoth, and emo culture and since he already knew how to sew he was able to make his own outfits to match the aesthetic.
Over time his fashion sense evolved, and his current inspirations are lolita, fairy kei, lovecore, and kitsch
Eepy ask cuz I'm eepy UwU if MC had super bad insomnia as well, and took sleeping medication for it (like melatonin + trazedone), and offered some to Lowell wanting to help with his insomnia would he take it?
Also if MC liked to nap during the day would Lowell be willing to snuggle with them while they nap (not necessarily having to nap with them tho)? :3
probably not! on top of being unable to sleep, Lowell also doesn't really want to sleep, and when he does, he has terrible dreams. Historically sleeping medication has made that worse for him. He also has an impaired digestion so he metabolizes and reacts to medications strangely- only a few sleeping meds will actually knock him out.
A psychiatrist may be able to balance his meds correctly if you... somehow convinced him to go to one, but it's a losing battle. At most if you were really wheedling him to try and sleep you might be able to convince him to drink a chamomile tea.
He's always willing to snuggle though :3
would Lowell in the sense get his obsession out of a job?
Especially if it was high stress and high pay?
Hm! I might not understand this completely but Lowell is very obsessive about his job. He wouldn't lose his obsessive tendencies he has for controlling other people even if his job would be both higher stress and higher pay- if anything, he might start becoming more controlling and possesive to cope with the stress.
A lot of why Lowell is doing what he's doing in game is because he's taking out his frustration with being chronically disabled and feeling helpless in his own body. That's a big part of the appeal for keeping a human "doll"- it's a body he gets to exert complete control over when his own is so volatile.
He's also just a little freak and happens to find it hot! There's no fixing this guy.
Personally I just wanna grab his honkers
How would he handle an MC that’s hypersexual but intentionally ignores their own boundaries? Like they know that going for x amount of time or rounds is just feeding into their hypersexuality rather than actually being for their own benefit but continue anyway bc they consider it easier than stopping in the moment, and maybe has bad breakdowns afterward riddled w guilt for indulging at all? Idk if that’s explained well but I hope it makes sense
TLDR: How would Lowell handle an MC who’s hypersexuality leaves them emotionally wrecked after sex?
Honestly he'd likely try to pull back and stop engaging so much with sex for a while until the two of you could either work out how to calm you down after or come up with a kind of check in/safe word system that worked for you during- the last thing he wants is to feed into something that's making you feel that poorly.
He'd be very gentle about it, and try to take on some of the responsibility of it himself, as well as trying to remind you that HIS boundaries include not crossing YOUR boundaries.
My MC is holding Lowell so gently, giving him soft forehead and cheek smooches and letting him do her makeup <3 but only if she gets cuddles as a reward for sitting still that long!
For a genuine question, I'm not sure if this has been asked yet but how comfy is it to hug Lowell? Is he soft? Does he hug tightly? Stuff like that :D
I really love this blog and I'm very interested to see where the game goes! :))
Oh he’ll absolutely gush about that, and cuddles will be given freely- MC may have a little bit of a hard time getting him to let go!
Lowell is a pretty great hugger actually! He's pretty warm and definitely soft, and he's naturally kinda chubby so he's good for snuggling up to. He likes to start off with a big, bone-crushing hug, the kind that lifts you up and swings you around a bit, but after a moment he’ll relax his grip a little and end up cradling you pretty softly, running his knuckles across the small of your back or pressing little kisses on your shoulder, little sweet movements like that.
I’m so glad you like it and I hope you enjoy !
MUSTARD IS SO CUTE LOWELL MOVE- *shoves Lowell out of the way aggressively and cuddles up with mustard instead*
Lowell is on his knees crying rn. Depriving him of cat cuddles AND you cuddles? Cruelty of the highest degree
What do I have to do to get kiss?
From Lowell? Just blink his direction I'm sure he'll follow through.
From me? I require your finest deep sea creature photos. And possibly a scone.
