Earthrise was taken on Apollo 8 by astronaut William Anders. Before the famous shot was taken, another photo was captured of the Earth rising over the moon. This shot is much less famous, since it was not taken in color; they did not get color film into the camera on time to take the shot.
This is my recreation of the original Earthrise. I recommend this video for anyone who wants to know more about this photo and to listen to the Apollo 8 crew being wonderfully human.
So 'bid the ground goodbye' by greyintogreen on AO3 is SUCH AN AMAZING FIC AND EVERYONE SHOULD GO READ IT RIGHT NOW!!!!
Comic from the tail end of Gangle and Caine's conversation from chapter 6. The fact that they're canonically friends now is my roman empire I love them so much.

The more I hear about stuff like this happening in the US the more I cannot believe that it is part of the modern world. Erasing history from schools is disgusting. If anyone is from Texas, please follow the advice from this video and contact your representatives.
TADC finale hit me like a truck I AM SO GLAD CAINE CAME BACK!!! (Theorizing[ish] under the cut + alt version)
I really liked the visual of his connector strings. Literally another point of distance between him and the humans because he could never really touch the mind files himself he could only do it through this thin connector.
Ok so Caine's part of the finale was my favorite because he's my son and I love him. I watched it for the first time in theaters and was mostly caught up in the joy that he was still alive and the absolute beauty of the visuals that I kinda glossed over the confusion I felt until I could watch the episode on YouTube.
I think Caine's part was half flashback and half what was going on in the present day. Idk if that's what everyone has already interpreted and I'm just stupid but I have seen people say that the dot slowly growing a human body was to symbolize Caine becoming more human as he got closer to the WiFi and I don't think that's the case.
Before everything, Caine consumed the blue dot (known to most of us as Abel). Just after this, he glitched out for a while and then created the circus. We were shown all this in the opening to episode 8. I believe that every scene with Caine being this red dot (including him growing limbs), was from just before the circus was created. He created the circus, and probably the grounds surrounding it, and then was left entirely alone. So he floats through the void, because what else is there to do? Eventually, he sees a folder in the distance. He builds supports for himself to not fall further into the void away from the folder, and as he approaches he forms something resembling a full avatar around himself. Inside the folder are the mindfiles of the original cast (Kinger, Scratch, Queenie, and all the other employees of C&A). Kinger said that they weren't working properly at first, and that Caine somehow found a way to get them functional. And he does; he brushes away the glitches surrounding them, he gives them an avatar of their own and places them in the circus, showing humans what he's created, as he was made to do. Added benefit of him finally not being alone anymore.
The other half of this scene was Caine accessing the WiFi. He's done this all before, but it's been so long he probably doesn't even remember anymore. he accesses the WiFi, and pulls out the names of the active players that he has (including Jax, as he doesn't yet know she's abstracted). He could leave, go see the infinte world of the macroverse he's so obsessed with for himself, but he doesn't. He stands at the threshold and absorbs as much information about his cast as he can, until the connection breaks, and he's left in the void again.
In both these scenes Caine is reaching out to the humans. He's giving them their lives. In the case of the original cast, this is their circus avatars and activating their dormant mind files. In the case of our cast, it's their lives in the macroverse. In both these cases doing this for the humans is dangerous to Caine; at any point he could fall into the void, and directly interacting with the files or the WiFi was shown to be painful. But he does it anyway because he would do anything for his humans.
IRL update for anyone who cares: finally done with everything school/internship related so I have been doing nothing but drawing, going on walks and eating food for the past 3 days. It's been great and tomorrow I get on a plane and see my dog (and parents) whom I haven't seen in like 3 months and I AM SO HAPPY :DDDD
Also wow turns out I like to yap who knew? To anyone reading this, I hope you have a fantastic day. Virtual hugs (or a comforting breakdance if you don't like physical contact) <3
Currently watching: Random YT stuff (mostly Emma Artly or Hannah Alonzo, good vibes for drawing), probably continue Person of Interest rewatch once I visit my parents (also gonna watch The Fall Guy with them and try to get my dad to watch Iron Lung with me)
Currently reading: ao3, (want to read PHM [but in spanish], Going Nuclear, and get my hands on The Gray Man books)
Current obsession: Project Hail Mary (including Coltland Gentry AU), TADC (specifically anything with my son CAINE)
Currently working on: PHM Big Bang drawings, I have a planning doc for a fic but I gotta research stuff
Last browser search: i had to beat up an old lady with a stick (I was searching for the spiderman clip I promiseeee)
Other random fun fact (not included in og trend but wanted to share): I had a bunch of silkworms as pets when I was a kid! They were super cute and fluffy as moths (seriously look up silk moths they're so cute)

Also since I decided this is an art blog and I want to share art have a very shitty sketch of Grace and Rocky hugging. Will I do something more with this someday? Perchance.
Idk man I just think the PHM fandom can do more with the fact that Rocky could probably bench press a car if he really wanted to.
I love Project Hail Mary, statement. Also happy pride month!!!
Small yap and alt version under the cut
Alt version without the xenonite suit cuz I felt really proud of the textures on Rocky.
Also, Ryland Grace being widely headcanoned as aroace is so important to me. That Grace got his happy ending with his best friend and his students. That his relationship with Rocky was never once diminished by Rocky having a romantic partner. That this movie made over 600 million and had ZERO romantic subplot. People connected with this relationship that was purely platonic, and I honestly didn't realise how much I needed to see that.
On the actual drawing, the xenonite suit was actually so much fun! Geometric shapes my beloved. Also the background is a lil reference to the book version of the mission patch :]
Peace, love and virtual hugs (or a friendly wave if you don't like physical contact) <3
To celebrate the release of TADC The Last Act in theaters, here's some CAINE art I had yet to put up on my blog!
CONGRATS TO THE ENTIRE TEAM WHO WORKED ON THIS!!!!!!! I had the privilege of seeing it a few hours ago and they did SUCH a fantastic job. It was a surreal experience seeing the Glitch intro on the big screen.
CAINE got me into drawing again. His expressions are so much fun. Thank you so much to Gooseworx and the amazing team at Glitch for bringing us this show.
So The Falls Guys (+An Eridian) by @wenber1234 is one of the greatest fics I've ever read and if you're a fan of the Coltland AU you should totally read it!!!!! This was based of the karaoke scene at the end of chapter 4 cuz that lives in my head rent free. The brothers doppelgangers super twins of all time
I wanted to do something silly and sketchy and fun to celebrate finishing finals, so sorry if stuff looks wonky I'm tired. (Ref under the cut)
I love Yao and Ilyukhina so much, this was the best part of the karaoke scene change my mind. LOOK AT THEM <3333
Also close-up of Rocky cuz he's so fudging cute I love him <333
Peace, love, and virtual hugs (or crisp nod if you don't like physical contact) :]
I get some people in this world are homophobic but do they really have to go this far but disrespecting their rights? OUR AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STATES, FUCKING STATES, that EVERY yes EVERY SINGLE PERSON STANDING ON AMERICAN SOIL, must be treated with equality, additionally being provided with inalienable rights. This applies to trans people too. They are human, not an object to be throwing and putting labels on.
Why do the conservatives have to deny every queer thing? Like come fucking on, I get it that majority of you are respecting your religion but do you know the phrase âbe yourself?â If a person isnt what they believe they are, let them modify into someone they think is them. God fucking dammit give me a break

please please please at least reblog this even if you don't live in the us!! i am so fucking pissed that this is happening as a trans teen. not only will it make it harder to be accepted in my red state of texas, it will put a target on my head even if my parents give permission for me to be marked as male. genuinely fuck the government.

I saw this earlier this week. God Iâm so tired of this goddamn administration. Keep trans kids alive and creeps away from our fucking bodies.
Tagging mutuals as always, thank you @silly-blue-gosling for the tag

Apologies if I've never tagged you in anything before, and this is the first time I'm tagging you, I'm aware I don't know a handful of you guys very well, and I know a few of you guys don't live in the US, but I'm hoping to spread the awareness as much as I can!
This feels like it's straight out of a dystopian horror novel. I'm sickened by the kind of monsters that would do this when we have so much research proving that transitioning saves lives. They're planning on killing kids in the worst way possible, by torturing them until they see no other way out other than killing themselves. This is so utterly cruel. My heart goes out to any trans kid in the USA that's scared for their safety and future rn. Don't give up, we will get through this together.

So I wanna draw Rocky and figuring out his tattoos is really confusing and I have no money to buy a figure. Therefore, the obvious solution was to teach myself how to use Blender, download the free Rocky STL action figure from the PHM website, and make a virtual puppet for all my reference needs.
Link to a Google Drive folder with the Blender file and STLs
WIP under the cut showing how I'm use this
I'm really excited to draw Rocky, this was just me getting him in the right pose over where my sketch was, I'll move him later :]
For the Blender file, I'm assuming you shouldn't need to know much about Blender to use it. The armature/bones should be there for use, just select the armature, put blender into pose mode, and press R to rotate stuff! I'd recommend using a mouse if you have one, a trackpad will make things a lot more frustrating.
Artemis II brought back my faith in humanity. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jermey Hansen, thank you for being the most fantastic ambassadors of Earth we could have asked for.
Yapping and alt versions under the cut
Seriously Artemis II made me feel like everything might be ok. That at it's core, humanity cares for one another. That we can go explore the unknown with love and art and care and curiosity. I cannot look at the moon in the same way.
Some highlights of the mission that I will never ever forget:
â Astronaut describing the view outside the window of the moon all excited and mission control replying âamaze amaze amazeâ
â â âCopy moon joyâ
Rise the zero gravity indicator
Reid Wiseman showing a friendship bracelet and giving a heart to the camera when he realised his daughters were in mission control, and mission control replying âcopy love, copy braceletâ
Victor Glover before going behind the moon into communications blackout saying âWe love you from the moonâ
â â Their conversation after the blackout: âUltimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other.â âIntegrity, from Earth, from our single system, fragile and interconnected, we copyâ (Christina Koch and Jenni Gibbons respectively). This quote makes me insane
The astronauts got a call from Trump. They had nothing to say to him so there was a full minute of silence on the livestream before Reid Wiseman called mission control to make sure the comms didnât cut off.
Them visiting Trump in the oval office when they return to Earth and looking completely done the entire time
â â There were two new craters on the side of the moon. One is named Integrity after their capsule and the other Carroll after Reid Wiseman's late wife, who died of cancer in 2020. They called it a âbright spot on the dark side of the moonâ
The astronauts hugging after confirming the name Carroll
The nutella jar
â â Everything during the splashdown went well except the sat phone to call the rescue crews wasnât working inside the capsule
â â Because of this mission control asked the astronauts if they were hitting the right button to talk
â â âI have two versions of Microsoft Outlook and none are workingâ
Reid bringing Rise off of the capsule despite that not being protocol because Rise is part of the crew
The astronauts being incapable of being far from each other after spending 10 days together.
"Planet Earth you are a crew"
All the amazing pictures we got
Alt versions:
Thank you Artemis II. Can't wait to return to the moon next year!!!!
This is important to reblog for yourself too, not just for others to see it. You never know when something could come up and if you need help itâs right there on your blog
His little "uh... wait..." actually broke me. Alex Rochon when I catch you Alex... I am going to shake your hand because you are a FANTASTIC voice actor holy moly.
He's so tragic. The cast was finally ready to accept the adventures but CAINE had just- snapped. And he didn't even really enjoy tormenting them! His actions were that of a pathetic child with a god complex, but still... lover without a heart. He could never understand and the cast couldn't explain. And CAINE will never know that Kinger tried to save him... he died thinking they wanted him dead.
OK, to the entirety of Glitch Productions, to Gooseworx, CONGRATS ON GETTING TADC THE LAST ACT IN THEATERS!!!!! WORLDWIDE!!!!! What a win for indie animation. Thanks to everyone, getting this out there must have been so hard, but it's going to be so worth it. Imagine working for an indie productions company and how getting to see your work - your name - on the big screen!!! I can't wait to see CAINE crash out in cinemas, this is going to be so peak.
