she/they,born before y2k. fanfic reader. what does one put here? Sorry, but please don't send me any asks will a gofundme link. I am terrible at verifying and I don't want to accedently help a scamer. I know there really are people that really need it.
People of tumblr, I believe in you. I trust you to make the right choice. I truly believe we can make this a reality. We have the power. We can achieve anything we put our minds to.
We CAN make Count Binface the next Tumblr sexyman.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
Phantom has part of the Justice League Collective for a while now, and its very, very, very obvious that the 25* year old Ghost had a crush on Batman.
Everyone in the Watchtower knew, it was obvious in the way he watched Batman in awe, or how his cheeks would glow green when Batman hummed at him with approval.
Flash directly asked him one day, expecting a shy admittance or hasty, embarassed denial, but Phantom was very straightforward when he said yes, he did find Batman very romantically appealing.
So yes, everyone knew, even Batman himself though he's never spoken a word on how he feels about the situation.
And yet, Phantom never shoot his shot. He never tried extra hard for pair ups with Batman, never flirted with him, or asked him out, never went out of his way to show off. Sure he was ghost, but courting rituals and flirting couldn't have been that different from normal human ones.
One day, after watching Phantom once again go green in the cheeks when Batman thanked him for turning in a report on time(high praise from Batman), Green Lanturn finally broke. He asked Phantom why, if he did like Batman, he didn't actively pursue him.
The look Phantom gave Green Lanturn made everyone feel like idiots, before Phantom slowly, as if explaining to a group to 3 year olds, that it was "Inappropriate to date ones boss or coworker of higher authority. It created a power imbalance, even if it was a minor one, and could lead to workplace hostility and tension should the relationship sour. Their jobs as heros was important, but they were all beings with irrational feelings and emotions, and they couldn't chance letting those feelings hinder their responsibilities." Yes Phantom liked Batman, and if they weren't coworkers he would more seriously pursue him, but Phantom takes his job very seriously, as does Batman, and nobody wants the compromised.
*Rather Danny is actually 25 or is older and just looks younger is up to you but he is aged up and that is non negotiable.
*Intended to be crack but can definately go crack-angst if you want
Project Hail Mary idea (from someone who hasn't seen/read it)
There is the idea that the blue on Rocky is from Adrian and that Adrian has a brown spot from Rocky to Mark them as mates.( I may be wrong about that so no quotes) And at some point of the story Rocky's hand print gets burned onto Grace.
In some of the fanfics I read Rocky gets a craving on himself to represent his ties to Grace. With Grace being somewhat upset that he couldn't give Rocky a marking directly.
But I think Grace could in a why. I know in some cultures it is common or was common for a person to give a loved one a lock of hair. There are companies that make diamonds out from ashes.
