4·14 hours agoThe Grand Apparatus from Brandon Sanderson’s “Cosmere” springs to mind.
Light Cosmere spoiler ↓
spoiler
The Grand Apparatus is composed of a vast number of rooms all atop and around one another and constantly in motion. [ ] If a denizen needs or wants a room with a particular function such as a bedroom or bathroom, they can make a request to the Apparatus itself and the appropriate room will be brought to adjoin the one currently occupied. Because of the Apparatus’ nature, access to sunlight is infrequent and is only accessed by requesting a room with windows which is moved to the structure’s perimeter upon transferring. Personal possessions are kept in trunks which are moved along with each resident as they transfer from room to room. Because all rooms are shared, there is no concept of ownership of space.

Good sex can keep a relationship going for longer than it should, but it won’t be indefinite no matter how orgasmic.
/agree, probably the closest answer to my mindset so far. (And I do love me some old school forums. RIP Portent and Waryammer.)
There are certainly times I’d rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.
I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.
In general not a thought I’ve had aside from that. I’ve always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.
This is what I came to say if it wasn’t already.
Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would’ve made a good movie. I don’t even have an alternate casting, just, “not them.”
It also helps move your page to the top of searches. AKA, SEO or “Search Engine Optimization”. Now, why it does that I have no clue, but Google algorithms decided it was important for insert reason… ???
