@astral-catastrophe
Hiya! I’m Jaylin or Astral, They/she.
I just exist here. Usually rambling about whatever I think of, or just rbing stuff I think is funny. I’m into Zelda, Star Wars, Spider-Man, Amory Wars, Lord of the Rings, varying books and shows, and the books I write.
I have a handful of side blogs, including one for my Links Meet au! It’s @fate-of-hylia even tho I don’t use it super often, I will post there once I’ve written more.

Happy Star Wars Day! I’ve decided to make my Skywalker comic into one easily rebloggable post.
Here’s a bonus page in honor of May 4th!
bonus/proof:
we tipped her well dw. best waitress ever 🍒
the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)
Happy pride to my girlfriend and my girlfriend only
So Thomas S Monson, 16th leader of the Mormon church, met with Jeffery Epstein.
let me say that again.
Thomas S Monson met with Jeffery Epstein.
I’m Jaylin, first cousin seven times removed to dear ‘Brother’ Joseph Smith. My family is heavily involved in the Mormon church. I’ve been an exmormon since I was fifteen ish. My main breaking point, aside from being a queer teen struggling with the idea of having a family with a man, was looking at the afterlife, the promise that family could be together forever, but only if everyone was righteous and ended up in the same tier of heaven. I always wondered about family that didn’t make it to the celestial kingdom, What then? How is that an eternal family if you can be separated still?
I urge any Mormons to not only unfollow and block me if they decide to remain faithful, but also to look in to the corrupt leaders of the church, to the horrible things they’ve done, and into how corrupt and horrid my cousin Jospeh was. He was a fraud, a liar, a fake, and a thief. If anyone wants proof or recourses I can provide them. I can also explain more about this.
if I wasn’t already ex Mormon, learning that Monson met with Epstein would be my last fucking straw. It should be for any Mormons that this post may reach
have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.
they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.
their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.
longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years
toxic flesh
has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.
lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion
largest genome of any shark
eats everything including moose and polar bears
ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you
this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard
just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !
Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!
Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir
I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks
@light-lights-up-light @skeletonsandstars
Six studies of my time with Vah Ruta and the beautiful fish siblings <3 Felt nice to draw Sidon again!
just found out that a guy friend of mine has actually had a crush on me like the entire time we’ve known each other and I fucking hate it here because I HAVE A GF but also because I’ve known him almost a year and now im rethinking literally everything
god this is why I don’t like men or have guy friends outside of my robotics guys. My robotics guys see me as an actual person and genuinely care about me and they’re not fucking weird. I got too comfortable because of my guys and completely forgot that to other men that they will just see me as something to gain or win instead of a person.
*listens to your thoughts*
Violence may not solve every problem but dang sometimes it's cathartic.
Kinger things ♟️👑
How people get nicknames:
Recipient of a third-degree burn in front of witnesses. IE, "I won't take that shit from a man dressed like a ghostbuster"= "Gostbuster" or "Buster"
A distinctive personal feature or quirk. IE, "Have you noticed how that new guy is always eating bell peppers?" = "Peppers", or "That chick has a massive forehead" = "Forehead".
An embarrassing thing you said or did. IE, "Did you seriously call Dale "Dad"?" = "Junior", "Baby boy", "Sport"
A game of name-mutation telephone. IE, "Donny Clyde" = "Bonnie 'n' Clyde" = "Bonnie" = "Bon-bon".
Irony. IE, calling a tall person "short stack" or a particularly dour person "sunshine".
A 'wrong place wrong time' one-off incident. IE, "He spilled oil on his pants and had to borrow a pair that were way too big and Jim saw him with the waistband pulled up to his nipples and called him 'Parachute'"
A batman-style origin story but not in a cool way: "One time she hit a deer with the company car and when she called the boss to tell her she was crying so hard we thought she was dying" = "Bambi"
The incredibly rare 'admiration' nickname, bourne only once a millennia under the light of the blood moon: "We saw him lift a truck once so now we call him 'iron man'"
+ How Nicknames Stick:
Your fate is determined by The Counsel
You hate it
It's accurate
This reminds me of an article about how callsigns in movies are inaccurate because they're too cool. Generally your callsign in the military is like "Bepis" because you once pronounced "Pepsi" wrong.

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.
Twilight is such a good example. First, when something is that popular, it’s automatically a bit sticky not only because of its ubiquity, but also because there is the question of why it’s so popular, especially if it’s not that good. Like what is this saying about the culture at that moment.
Furthermore, there are the layers of subtext, which I think are especially sticky when you cannot tell how much of it the author intended. In Twilight there is the surface-level weirdness e.g. about Edward comparing the sin of premarital sex to the sin of murder, and then you learn Stephanie Meyer is Mormon and you see that ideology, and then you get into the really weird stuff where you’re like, Stephanie I can’t tell if you thought this through girl and my goodness I hope you didn’t.
Exactly. "Vampires can't be black because their venom destroys melanin." Stephanie, what do you mean
Isn't Stephanie Meyer Mormon?
Yes. Which is why my buddy beroe mentioned her Mormonism in her reblog of my tags.
