How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:

Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:

[georgieharrisons]

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

Anniversary of APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING

On July 20, 1969, 109 hours and 42 minutes after launch, Neil Armstrong and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin entered the lunar lander ‘Eagle’, made a final check, and the Eagle undocked from the lunar orbiter ‘Columbia’, where the third member of the crew Michael Collins, stayed in orbit around the moon. Partially manually piloted by Armstrong, the Eagle landed 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north moon latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east moon longitude. Armstrong stepped out, and Aldrin followed 20 minutes later: human beings stepped on the moon for the first time. The two men spent 21 hours and 26 minutes on its surface. One of the astounding aspects of the mission was the seeming simplicity of the technology used to get man to the moon. According to Oliver Gassmann, professor of Technology Management, the mobile phone in your pocket has one million times more memory than the Apollo 11’s computer. Same about the procesor: the latest phones typically have more than 100,000 times the processing power of the computer that landed man on the moon 50 years ago.

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” –Neil Armstrong

[gay-mormon-wizard]

We assume that Katniss doesn't convince everyone in the districts of the authenticity of her love for Peeta because Snow says so. Snow believes that convincing the districts will calm them down. But Snow, as characterized in the prequels, fundamentally does not understand love.

Katniss DOES convince most everyone in the districts. The only district people to question the love story are the other victors, because they alone understand how the Capitol's propaganda works, how stories are controlled and victors are forced to play their part.

But when Katniss visits District 8, everyone seems fully convinced. People assure Katniss that they know Peeta was just speaking under duress. They're so upset about Katniss "losing the baby" that one woman actually weeps over it. The everyday District citizens buy into it fully.

The issue is that Snow doesn't understand how powerful love is. Katniss and Peeta's act fuels the rebellion instead of tamping it because choosing love over violence is rebellious. Like when Katniss and Peeta hold hands and Haymitch calls it the perfect touch of rebellion, or when Katniss covers Rue with flowers, or when all the victors hold hands on interview night. Compassion, love, friendship between competitors, it's all in defiance to the Capitol's agenda.

Snow thought that the districts would hear, "I'm just a silly little harmless teenage girl doing impulsive things because I'm in love! How nice of the Capitol to let me keep my boyfriend!" Instead they heard, "My love gave me the courage to defy the Capitol." They heard, "My love held firm in the face of all the Capitol's power and cruelty. I refuse to kill him or even passively let him die." They heard, "The Capitol is not strong enough to corrupt a steadfast heart." And if the Capitol can't even overcome two teenagers' puppy love, it certainly can't overcome thousands of adults' love for their neighbors, children, and homes, or a unified people's passion for freedom and justice.

Snow underestimated love, and it was his downfall.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

August 2026 is AU-gust here at the Prompt Foundry!

Alternate Universe takes on our favorite stories—be they shows or books we love, or tales of our creation—can be a delightfully fun way to explore what makes those stories tick, what makes those characters who they are, and what in them is important to why we enjoy them.

On the other side of the coin, some settings and scenerios are popular for AUs because there's something special about that environment or situation that really tickles our brains, and it can be fun to figure out how to fit different characters and their contexts into that world.

So let's run through the multiverse and play with some AUs!

Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events, like last year's March of the Blorbos! Draw, paint, sculpt, sing, write fiction, write poetry, write academic analysis—use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.

If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see what you create!

Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any, or posting your work after the day the prompt is assigned to. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!

If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.

Smutercising ~ Chapter 13

A collection of unrelated ficlets based on a list of 140 dialogue prompts for smut. Some ficlets may be RATED E for more explicit content. There will be an author note at the start of each chapter confirming the rating and pairing of each. Most of these are Everlark, but there is also some Finnick & Annie, some Madge & Johanna. I will update the summary with more pairings as they are added.

Chapter 13 ~ Look What You Do to Me.

Rating: E for explicit sexual content, explicit language (per the usual for me sorry not sorry)

Featuring: Modern AU, college Everlark.

Teaser:

“Is there something on my face?” he asks without looking up or even slowing down on his typing. I tap my pen on the table and shake my head, willing him to look up at me. 

Because I feel it again. That gnawing hunger he awakens in me. Impossible to permanently sate. I’m lucky that I found something that at least momentarily quiets it, but that’s all it ever is. Temporary. Eventually, it always returns, and Peeta isn’t helping me right now. Usually all it takes is a look from me and he gives me exactly what I need.

“No,” I say when he doesn’t look up.

“Hmmm.”

I slam my palm on the table and finally, he looks up, his fingers frozen mid typing, and his eyebrows creeping up his forehead.

“Something wrong then?”

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

[computationalcalculator]

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

[idontgettechnology]

I tested this theory in the wild the other day at work. I was on a call with my department lead and a few other folks and I replied to an email the DL had sent me, thinking that, because he was on this call, he wouldn't notice when I sent it and would not catch me multitasking.

However, he replied to said email within five minutes, asking a question that required an answer. So I answered and was like "Also, I was going to apologize for answering emails during this call, but I see we're both here at the Devil's Sacrament, so I don't think an apology is necessary."

I watched him read that on screen and try not to laugh. And then at the end of the call as everyone started saying goodbye, he goes, "Hey, MJ, I meant to tell you. I like your shoelaces."

And I looked straight into my camera, stone cold serious, and said, "Thanks. I stole them from the president."

And the rest of the team was like, "What...the fuck...?" before he abruptly ended the call for everyone.

So now my DL and I know this about each other. He could be any one of us.

[libraryogre]

At a certain point, the appropriate response to "What were you doing at the devil's sacrament" becomes "stealing shoelaces from the president."

[katnissdoesnotfollowback]

Hello,

This is the user who asked about Ophelia in Unmasked a while ago.

I have some other questions about Unmasked, Spellbound, and possibly a future work that I will ask about another time.

In Unmasked is Peeta’s father/ stepfather just someone named William Thackeray, or is he the William Thackeray who wrote Vanity Fair? If so, is he the reason Peeta is good with words and comes up with all of the stories for Miranda and Maysilee?

Is Miranda also Thackeray’s daughter or does she have another father? If she does and William Thackeray is the same author of the book, does that mean that he and their mother had to separate for some reason? If he is Miranda’s father, does that mean they had to give her up or she would have been in danger such as when Nancy gave up Peeta to the Marquis de Vale? It seems to me that perhaps she is the daughter of another, more introverted Thackeray or else Miranda would have stayed with her mother.

Was the choice of occupation for Peeta’s father/ stepfather from his William Thackeray’s wife’s caretaker?

Katniss truly did react with grace when confronting Ophelia, just like you stated, and I see the similarities between their situation in Unmasked and Quicksilver as well as the differences more clearly after the reread.

In Spellbound, do the members of the coven include K, P, their five friends, Mags, Katniss’ sister, Finnick and Annie’s son, the girl from the store, and in the future, their children? Is it thirteen members in the coven? If so and the girl from the store appears later and her magic isn’t stifled, would she be a member, or would it be someone else, such as Doctor Kayla? That would be thirteen.

When they were in New Orleans, did Katniss meet Peeta when they were children? Is he the blue mist she describes as having been one of the last thinking’s she sees the day of the fire?I took that part of the story as that he saved her after Darius’ burning and that they might have met up again when they were older at the Mardi Gras parade that he went to with his brother and did also met Madge at. At least if they saw each other there even if Katniss was somewhere in the background. How did he recognize Madge’s accent but not Katniss’? Are the three of the Cajun?

Was Katniss’ mother afraid of her and trying to stifle her magic? Or was she worried something would happen to her and trying to protect her? Or was it both? It seems like she might have been at least a bit of both of her since she is the reason her daughter is spellbound to Whitley and those around her/ in Whitley in the first place and she was trying to contain her powers. It also seems as though my belief currently that Katniss’ mother was hiding parts of her beliefs if she was doing that type of magic in the books in the attic and didn’t tell anyone. At the same time, it seems as though Katniss might believe that because of her self esteem.

Would people be painting their houses haint blue or asking for protection from Finnick, Annie, and their son since they are described as jinn?

Will Katniss/ Pearl still be around or will Pearl no longer be around?

The name Pearl is truly a lovely one and she I assumed that adoration why she was named this, but then the reference to another work belief came. It’s also nice that he calls her Pearl even though she is a gray, since I’m sure some people might believe it is a name only suited to white cats and people. At least he doesn’t seem to believe that.

Will Dr, Kayla cause issues in town with her arrival? Will she still be as obsessed with mushrooms?

Is it possible to ask if you will be publishing anything out of curiosity? I saw the post regarding the pen name. If there will be any published books, will that still be the pen name?

Are tumblr messages open, or only to certain tumblrs? It says asks are open but not messages, which is what was stated on the app when before as well.

Thank you

Hello, Anon! I will do my best to answer your questions.

In Unmasked, Peeta's stepfather/father is just some guy named William Thackeray. There was no intentional basing of the Unmasked character on a once living, real human writer. Any similarities between my William Thackeray and the William Makepeace Thackeray of Vanity Fair fame are pure accident. I am aware that I do not create in a vacuum and so readers will see connections where I do not intend to make connections. My writing is undoubtedly influenced by any number of things that I am not immediately aware of, but in this case, there was absolutely zero intent to draw any kind of parallels or inspiration from William Makepeace Thackeray and his life.

It is literally impossible for Thackeray to be Miranda's biological father. Thackeray dies when Peeta is 10 years old (chapter 11). Peeta is around 24 or 25 when he marries Katniss, 14 years after Thackeray dies. In chapter 18, when Haymitch tells Katniss about Miranda's existence, he tells her that there is no way to know who Miranda's father is, and that she would be nearly 8 years old by then. Which means Miranda was born 6 years after Thackeray dies.

In that same conversation, it is heavily implied that Nancy, Peeta's mother, wound up turning to prostitution as a means of income (and Peeta hints that he knows his mother did so in Chapter 11). Miranda's father is truly an unknown. Nancy herself doesn't even know who Miranda's biological father is. In my head, Nancy is past the mental or emotional ability to care for a child when Miranda is born, hence why Miranda winds up in an orphanage (chapter 33). Just like she gave Peeta to the Marquis to raise, hoping he'd be able to give her son a better life than she could, she gave up Miranda with the same hope (slightly worse odds of success with Miranda having a decent future in the orphanage, but the woman was desperate).

On to Spellbound...

The definitive future coven members, as it stands right now with 39/?? chapters posted, are as follows: Katniss, Prim, Annie, Mags, Madge, Cinna, and Gale. You have already met two other future coven members. I am not revealing who they are yet. There will be no under aged/children members of the coven. Katniss, Madge, and Prim were never technically members of their mothers' coven. You have to be an adult to be a full fledged member. Now, baby witches can be under the protection of a coven... so do with that what you will in terms of speculation about the girl from the store, etc.

Louisiana is actually a pretty big state and New Orleans is a big damn city with a large population and a LOT of visitors. Peeta was not in Louisiana at the time of the fire, nor was he in the area when Katniss's family was forced to flee the state. I will neither confirm nor deny at this time whether or not Katniss and Peeta truly first met in Whitley or if their first true meeting was in Louisiana.

Peeta's familiarity with Madge has more to do with vibes than it does with him actually having met her before, if that makes sense? Madge wouldn't be the only fortune teller/tarot reader/witch in New Orleans at any given time lol. Katniss would not have been in Louisiana for years by the time Peeta goes to Mardi Gras with his brother, so there was no accidental meeting between them at that time either.

Katniss has no noticeable southern accent anymore because her mother would have rigorously trained it out of her once they got to Whitley. Another means of making her daughter blend into their new surroundings. Also, just fyi, I live in the deep south (not Louisiana but point still stands) and Mr. kdnfb was raised here. Not everyone around us (Mr. kdnfb included) has the stereotypical thick southern accent. My father in law does, his two sons do not. At times, they'll say a word or two that makes it obvious and you can hear the accent, but it's not always thick and persistent, despite what Hollywood would have you believe. Mr kdnfb can absolutely lean into it tho. Make it thicker on purpose. Long winded way of saying that Peeta didn't hear Katniss's accent because she doesn't really speak with it anymore.

I do place Mr. Everdeen as having some distant Cajun roots in this story.

Alright, here we go. This is somewhat spoilery, but honestly I feel like most of this is something one could deduce from what I've already posted, so I don't feel too bad about it.

In terms of Mrs. Everdeen and her feelings towards Katniss... all of the above. Literally all of the above. Mrs. E is in awe of and terrified of the level of witchy power that she witnesses Katniss wielding. Katniss's abilities are also, to a noticeable degree, emotionally influenced. In other words, certain emotions and emotional connections of Katniss's amplify what she's capable of. So Mrs. E moving them far away from most other witches, limiting Katniss's contact with them, and then binding her powers in Whitley were all done as protective measures -- to hide Katniss from Coin, to make Katniss less conspicuous to their new neighbors, to keep her power under wraps -- at least until Mrs. E could figure out how to teach Katniss to deal with that level of power. But yes, Mrs. E was scared of her own daughter, to a certain degree.

Katniss's self esteem issues do influence the bindings and spell workings that Mrs. E did in the name of protecting Katniss, and... here's a huge spoiler hint... reminder that Mrs. E needed Katniss to build the hedge around their house in Whitley. The hedge that serves as physical barrier between the rest of the world and their garden... the place where they grow the herbs they use for magic but also there is a fire pit and space large enough to draw a pentagram and cast spells do you get where I'm going with this??? Katniss had to perform that bit of magic. (cough cough maybe she had to do some of the other magic too cough cough).

Mrs. E was being a straight up hypocrite telling Katniss not to do blood magic when she was doing it herself. Part of it was trying to protect her girls from what she might view as her own follies and part of it is fear of what Katniss wielding blood magic can potentially yield but yeah... She wasn't wrong in the warnings she gave Katniss, but I mean... there's always a risk that you're gonna set your kitchen on fire when you cook and yet we still cook meals and sometimes they are exquisite do you get what I am saying here????

There were definitely some suspicious neighbors in the south painting their ceilings haint blue after living next door to Finnick and Annie for any decent amount of time. If they were asking anyone for protection of some kind, it would be Annie.

You have not seen the last of Pearl. She will make reappearances for Reasons that I am not yet at liberty to disclose. Also the story Peeta tells when he names her that involves a gray pearl, not a white one.

Dr Kayla is going to cause all kinds of issues, but that's because she is an agent of chaos who will be fascinated by the absolute bounty of living plants (and mushrooms) surrounding the Everdeen house and she is naturally inclined to want to know EVERYTHING about someone who has a um... green thumb...

I haven't published anything yet and while I do intend to use the Kiera Dean Fairbanks pen name should that ever happen, I simply do not know. Alas, unlike Madge, I cannot foretell the future.

As I understand tumblr's current for of security measures, you can send asks to the inbox only if you have a tumblr yourself. I currently have Anonymous asks allowed so you can send them anonymously to me. Messages, or DM's, which can be done more privately, are also restricted to tumblr users only. I personally have an additional security measure in place where only people who I follow can initiate a private message thread with me. If YOU have messages enabled for all tumblr users and I message you, then you will be able to message me back from that point forward. So if you've been trying to message me and can't, it's because I don't follow you here on tumblr :/ Sorry.

Hope this answers all of your questions!
