Can I ask what the problem is with classifying Pluto as the ninth planet?

Because it’s not. When the scientific community makes an informed decision about the classification of celestial bodies based on new information, you don’t just get to shove your fingers in your ears and ignore it because you don’t like it.

[lullabyknell]

The most basic explanation is that we have found and are still finding objects in our solar system that are nearly as big, as big, or bigger than Pluto. 

Either we had to make every new object a planet or we had to reclassify Pluto. It makes way more sense to reclassify Pluto, especially when Pluto is smaller than Earth’s own moon. 

One of the last straws was Eris, another trans-Neptunian object (which means an object in our solar system farther away from the sun than Neptune), which was briefly referred to as “the tenth planet” because it initially appeared to be even larger than Pluto. (Now we know that Pluto actually has the greater volume, but that Eris has the greater mass.) 

I think everyone should really appreciate that it was an object named after the Greek goddess of discord that disrupted the “balance” of the “Nine Planets”.

Some astronomers don’t like the term “dwarf planet”, but the International Astronomical Union as of 2008 has officially recognized five: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet).  

The study of space is really hard, guys, because there’s just so much space to study. Our own solar system is in many ways still a mystery to us. Pluto was only discovered in 1930. Remember how recently we got our first decent picture of Pluto? And saw Pluto’s “heart”? That was 2015. 

We’re also coming to understand that our solar system isn’t actually “normal”, now that we’re learning more about exoplanets (which are planets outside our solar system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet). Like how we came to understand that Earth’s moon wasn’t “normal” for every planet. (Our moon is actually really weird, guys.) 

(Did you know that there are objects called “rogue planets”? Also known as “nomad planets” and “orphan planets”? These are planets that don’t have a star to orbit around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet. Very cool!) 

The scientific community has to work off of what they know. Sometimes, something comes along and changes everything that we think we know. So, we have to adjust. We can’t presume that the universe will adhere to any human mythology; we have to study it as it is; and it’s a “the more we learn, we realize the less we really know” situation. Prof is right. Pluto is not a planet. 

Pluto is a dwarf planet. Near the edges of our solar system, Pluto is keeping company with an unknown number of fellow trans-Neptunian objects. An object by any other name remains exactly as it actually is. 

[professorsparklepants]

^^^ anyone interested in the process leading up to Pluto’s demotion should read How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming by Michael Brown, the guy whose team discovered Eris and whose findings contributed most to the IAU’s ruling on the classification of dwarf planets. It’s a fascinating read.

[dollsahoy]

That list of dwarf planets up there includes Ceres, which is the largest object in the asteroid belt, and which was itself considered a planet for about a half century after its discovery, before telescopes got good enough to see the other asteroids. (The creation of the dwarf planet classification brought Ceres out of being an asteroid again.)

So, a celestial object going from planet to not planet based on further discoveries decades later isn’t even unique to Pluto ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[jennagrinsoverml]

Do you have any newer soulmate-centric fics that don’t revolve around the DCU? Batfam slash has literally taken over the entire tag 😔

Oh man, anon, this ask was so much harder to fill than I expected. Soulmate AUs are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I tend to want specific things out of them, which I guess is different than how a lot of writers write them. Oh well, here are my favourite soulmate AUs from the last year!

tell me something i don’t know by @carpisuns​

Do you think it still means something? To love someone, even if the universe said you had to?

The odds of having a soulmate are about negative one billion (or something like that). But somehow, like they always have, Marinette and Chat Noir find themselves together. They’re ready to finally tell each other everything, but it turns out that even soulmates have to keep secrets, and they can only be together if they vow never to touch.

Multi-chapter. This is one of my absolute favourite fics from the last year, and definitely my favourite soulmate fic. It's so rich and complex. It's Marichat, but hits on all the different sides of the love square, and even though Marinette and Chat Noir are the ones who "click", it's more of a love square expansion than a reversal. It's long, but gorgeous and one of the best fics in the fandom.

The Gift of Her Name by @sariahsue

Ladybug and Chat Noir are two halves of a dynamic duo. They are best friends, inseparable, unstoppable.

As soulmates, Marinette and Adrien- though they've never met- are two halves of a whole, and Gabriel will stop at nothing to keep them separated.

Multi-chapter. This is an extremely recent fic, written for the @mlbigbang and it’s so sweet! I loved the Ladynoir dynamic and how you can see what a great fit these two are and how they’re obviously meant to be, even though neither of them realizes that the other is their soulmate. Gabriel is the worst (no surprises there) and the reveal is perfect.

Wild Goose Chase by shadysquaregirl

Some people have soulmarks. Some people have timers. Others, the first thing they'll say to their soulmate etched on their skin. And for the especially unfortunate? A extremely dedicated (and violent) Canadian goose.

Marinette had accepted her state of soulmateless-ness years ago. It's why she's held herself back from Chat, who must have a soulmate waiting for him, and threw herself at Adrien, who she'd never have a chance with anyways. She was fine, she was happy, and she was ready to live her life.

The goose waiting on her balcony after a taxing akuma fight disagreed.

One-shot. This is the funniest take on the soulmate trope I think I've read yet! The Soulmate Goose of Enforcement arrives to f*** up the love square and basically force them together to great comedic effect. It's also got some great moments of sweetness.

Footsteps by @sariahsue

“I’m not sneaking!” Marinette blurted out as soon as she saw him. She noticed three things instantly. He was blond. He was holding his hands around his eyes like binoculars, and he was in the nicest tuxedo she had ever seen.

(Marinette’s about to get married to her soulmate, a man she’s never met before. Too bad she meets that cute groomsman in the hallway first.)

One-shot. This is ridiculously, impossibly sweet. I love how even in a world where they’ve never met and things are clearly very different (marrying someone you’ve never met??), they’re still so very recognizable as themselves. I love this.

and in that moment i became yours by @hanaasbananas

They said you were often drawn to your soulmate even before you’d discovered that’s who they were, but Adrien had never thought the connection would be so immediate. Already, he knew that he would never choose anyone else. Not now. Now when he’d seen Marinette, spoken with her, laughed with her, been entranced by everything that she was.

One-shot. Adrien and Marinette meet and "click" right before Marinette's wedding to each other. It's exactly as dramatic and over the top as you would expect a one-shot with that premise to be and I am HERE FOR IT!!

when u are a creator and you Love creating and you get the Itch To Make Stuff and you just Need to create to stay sane and feel creatively fulfilled BUT you are so burned out by other concerns/responsibilities that you don’t have the time or energy (or both) to create and you still have a million ideas but it’s hard to find the motivation to work on anything or even be excited about it bc you’re just so Tired and your brain is Dead and you feel like the creative equivalent of a shredded tire on the side of the highway

[carpisuns-archive]

I didn’t have advice at the time I posted this but im actually feeling a lot better now so here are some tips that might help!

Tips for burnout in general:

Take a nap. Seriously. Treat yourself like a kindergartener. Have a little snack and tuck yourself in and take a nap.

Better yet, go to bed a few hours earlier than usual. Do you usually stay up till 3 am on Friday nights? Go to bed at 10 and get an actual good night’s sleep. It honestly does wonders. Sleep deprivation makes everything so much harder to handle and rest is what your burned-out brain craves more than anything else right now! If you do not rest your body will eventually force you to anyway and you’ll crash. Lights out binch!!

If you are able, take a day off. Call in sick to work. Skip classes for one day. Give yourself one long weekend dedicated solely to rest and relaxation. Do not do any homework. Do not check your work email. Do not do anything that stresses you out! If you’re at the point where you are so physically and mentally exhausted that you can’t even enjoy the little free time you have, rest is an absolutely necessity. You can’t do quality work while you are that burned out, and there is almost nothing that can’t wait for one day. You need this time to recover so that you can come back to your tasks more refreshed and when you do, chances are they will feel a little less overwhelming.

If burnout is an ongoing problem for you, take a high-level look at what is on your plate and what you can offload. Is the number of credits you’re taking this semester actually too much? Do you need to discuss your workload with your boss? Or maybe seek a new position at a place where you can have a better work/life balance? Are there people in your life who can help you carry the load?

Look for small ways to make your life easier. For example: Grocery shopping is exhausting to me, especially after a long week of work. But I found out that my local grocery store has free grocery pickup, and it saves me so much time and stress and energy! I also hate taking out the trash bc I live on the third floor of my building and the dumpster is a little bit of a walk. So now when I leave for work I take the trash down with me, toss it in the trunk of my car, and stop to dump it on my way out. Maybe these things seem really lazy but they help me complete necessary tasks in a less burdensome way so I don’t care!

Tips for creative burnout specifically:

Try some low-pressure creative exercises. If you’re an artist, give yourself time to do some silly pen doodles or freestyle sketching to loosen up. If you’re a writer, try doing some short, 100-word drabbles. Don’t worry if it’s less than your best work. Let it be ugly! The point is to just release some pent-up creative energy and hopefully have some fun with it.

If your time is limited or you don’t have the energy to give much, working in short sprints could help. Set a timer for however long you want and try to stay focused on one creative task until it goes off.

If it helps, rotate between multiple projects so when you get bored or frustrated with one you can move on to something else and come back to it later

Conversely, it might be better to choose one project you would really like to finish and focus on that until you’re done. i often get like decision fatigue from having so many wips to choose from and if I haven’t actually finished something in a while I feel even more frustrated/discouraged so sometimes (depending on my current situation) it’s really nice to just power through something and be done and feel that sense of release and accomplishment

Break bigger project into small, manageable pieces. Like, today I will do some rough thumbnails of this comic idea and the next day I’ll draw the first two panels. Or, today I’m gonna do an idea dump for this fic and the next day I’ll organize it into a timeline before I start actually writing.

Skip the stuff that feels like a burden and either come back to it or don’t do it at all. If you hate lining your art, then don’t. Just color your sketches. Leave the anatomy a little wonky if you have to. If you’re stuck on a scene you’re writing just put what’s supposed to happen and come back to it—“they have a long epic battle and then kiss with the passion of a thousand fiery suns” or whatever. If prose sounds like too much work and u just wanna write dialogue, try writing a chat fic or a play script with simple stage directions! If a wip no longer appeals to you, save it for later or just scrap it. The purpose of hobby creation is enjoyment. So do the things you like and don’t feel like you have to force yourself to do things you don’t enjoy.

Shake it up! Try switching creative gears. If you’re both a writer and an artist but have been focusing on one over the other, shift to the other one for a little while. Even if you’re only one and not the other, trying the other one out could end up being really fun and refreshing. Or try something totally new! Origami, embroidery, blackout poetry, calligraphy, songwriting, collages made from magazine cutouts, fancy finger food, little fairy houses for your yard. Whatever! I think a creative mind always itches to create somehow and maybe that itch can be satisfied in a lot of ways you hadn’t considered before

If the burnout is super bad, sometimes the most helpful thing is not just not create at all, even if you want to. Sometimes your brain need a hard reset before it can get back in creative mode, so give yourself a break and instead of stressing about not being creatively productive, just lean into that. Catch up on some reading, watch some TV, whatever. And when you’re ready you can come back to whatever you were working on

Obviously none of these things are like a surefire cure for the problem and it’s not a one size fits all kind of thing—these are just some things I have personally found helpful. I hope this helps you too and that you feel better soon! 💜

Hey, I love your recs sm thank you for them :) I was wondering if you could rec some fics where Marinette tells Chat Noir the boy she loves is Adrien or that he (as Chat finds out)? I don’t really care how it happens but i just want a scene where Marinette as herself tells Chat that Adrien is the boy she loves or something like that. Thank youu <3

Anon, you have NO IDEA of the rabbit hole you sent me down. So first I thought of one specific fic and was going to rec it and a few others and call it a day. But then I had trouble finding the other fics I was thinking of. And then I went on a reading spree. And, anon, these fics are SO GOOD! I loved answering this request 💖 (And thank you! I love that people enjoy my recs 😊😊😊)

Jealousy by @sariahsue

"If it weren't for that other guy, do you think you would have fallen for me?" "Please, chaton," Marinette said. "Don't do this to yourself." "I just want to know." Softly she said, "It would have been so easy."

One-shot. This is the fic I thought of right away. It’s a half-reveal fic where Chat knows Ladybug’s identity, but she doesn’t know his, and he’s obviously very interested in the identity of the boy she loves. And then she tells him and his reaction is eeeeeeveryyyyythinggggggg. I love this fic!

Crushed by @p-artsypants​

Stuck under a collapsed building together, Chat Noir and Marinette have a heart to heart.

One-shot. Another Ladybug half-reveal, but this time they’re trapped together. It’s a pretty rough situation, but the way they open up to each other is really beautiful. And, of course, in opening up, Marinette reveals to Chat that she’s in love with Adrien. This one gives me allll the feelings!

Loopholes by @gabriel-agreste-has-no-rights

Chat Noir doesn't get why Ladybug gets to be the best-behaved kid in the world. 

She isn't.  She's too good at finding loopholes.

(Marichat identity reveal fic, set after the episode Christmaster)

One-shot. This fic does feature an identity reveal, but Marinette telling Chat the identity of the boy she loves comes before any of that! They’re ADORABLE and so in character, and I loved Marinette being both embarrassed and embarrassing, and of course the identity reveal was perfect.

The Perks of Anonymity by SydelleRein

Fed up with her inability to string two coherent sentences together in front of a certain schoolmate, Marinette confides in Chat Noir.

Multi-chapter. Like many marichat fics, this one assumes an existing friendship between Marinette and Chat. And when Adrien takes advantage of that friendship to try to figure out why Marinette’s so uncomfortable with Adrien (does she secretly hate him?) she confides in him about her crush. Their characterizations are amazing, and Chatdrien’s reaction to the crush is even better, and there’s an eventual reveal, which is fantastic.

Banter by @sariahsue

Ladybug expected Chat Noir to try to get closer to her once he discovered she was Marinette. That was what all the Ladynoir fanfiction she'd ever read had prepared her for. What she didn't expect: Tips on how to ask Adrien out, support for her crush on another boy, and whatever other crazy things were happening right now.

"Pay attention, M'Lady. You're breathing all wrong again."

Three-part series. Another half reveal. We don’t actually see Marinette tell Chat she’s in love with Adrien as the focus here is all on the aftermath, but omg it’s so, so good and I love it so much! In case you haven’t yet, I highly recommend @sariahsue’s fics. So many of them have Marinette admitting her feelings, but I limited myself to just the two here.

One Life, One World by @komorebirei​

“So, beads, huh? For… a lucky charm?” Chat guessed.

Marinette nodded. “Two, for my friends.”

Her dispirited tone caught Chat’s attention. Marinette was usually more cheerful—but then again, it was past midnight, and she must be tired.

“There’s a secret in the design,” Marinette said with a faint smile that Chat thought looked a little forced.

One-shot. Marinette’s trying to get over Adrien now that he and Kagami are together. But when she says as much to Chat, his reaction gives away more than he intended. I love that this one has a different tone than the others, but it’s still really sweet. (This one is also unusual in that at no time does Adrien learn that Marinette is Ladybug.)

Smile & write: 31 & 32 by @emsylcatac​

Collection of short stories from a game on Tumblr in which people sent me their last five emojis with two characters. Sometimes contains a bit of love, some fun, lots of dumb, and overall a bit of everything.

Lastest updates: Chapter 32: Part 2 of Chapter 31: Marinette & Chat Noir. Chat Noir knows Marinette's identity and is wondering when she'll be brave enough to ask her not-so-secret crush out. He also wants to tell her his identity, too.

Two-shot, part of a collection. Another half reveal starting immediately after Chat learns that Adrien is the boy, and dealing with Marinette telling him the hearts all around his pictures were reversed spades. This one is funny, but also so soft, and the reveal is super cute.

tell me you love me (pls, i beg u). by @theanxiouscupcake​

Adrien’s patience was hanging by a thread. Wearing thin, rapidly dissipating, dissolving, the way his father claimed teeth dissolved in aerated drinks, take your pick. He loved the girl, he really did. But as he watched her stutter a little before she let her head fall on her desk with a wince-worthy thump, before she asked for his physics homework going off their (very, very well-rehearsed) script again. All he wanted to do was take her by the shoulders and shake her while screaming, “Tell me you love me, I beg you. I can’t stand waiting around this way!”

And then maybe kiss the hell out of her.

Hell, he wanted to kiss the hell out of her right now, but he couldn’t because there was The Bet™ that he now felt, in hindsight, was stupid. Not that he would ever admit that to Plagg or to his Princess, of course.

One-shot. Pre-reveal but after Adrien’s fallen for Marinette. This one is after Chat’s learned that Adrien is the boy Marinette loves, but Marinette and Chat have entered into a bet: Chat can’t ask out the girl he’s in love with until Marinette confesses her feelings to the boy she loves. It’s exactly as ridiculous as it sounds with all kinds of mutual pining.
