-Homestuck

-Gravity Falls

-Rick and Morty

-What We Do In The Shadows

-Pokemon

-Animal Crossing

-more to be added as I figure it out!!

——————————————————————————

Self Shipping Stuff:

Pretty much all of my self-inserts are just the same “character” in different universes, so not much will change except for most prominently the age I represent myself at. But overall there isn’t an Exact age my S/I will ever be presented.

Gushing will be tagged - heart overflow

Homestuck S/I -

Human: ⭐️Asta Maxus - Muse of Space - Prospit Dreamer - Flag and Pole Strife Specibus

Troll: 🌌Astrel Maxuss - Oliveblood - Muse of Space - Prospit Dreamer - Feline Rabbit Beast Lusus - Flag and Pole Strife Specibus

F/O’s:

Vriska Serket - Homestuck - ❤️/♦️- 🎱🕸️ - With ⭐️ Asta

Aradia Megido - Homestuck ❤️/♦️ - 🐏👻 - With 🌌 Astrel

Nepeta Leijon - Homestuck - Adoptive Family - 💚🐱

Headmates I’ll Post About:

Jade Harley - Homestuck - (Headmate) - Close Friend - 🐸🐾🌌

Karkat Vantas -Homestuck - (Headmate) - Close Friend - 🦀🩹❤️‍🩹

(I will be sometimes using f/o imagines in reference to headmates! We’re all okay with this otherwise I wouldn’t do it.)

——————————————————————————

I may not be great at tagging, but let me know if you need anything specifically tagged.

Some warnings for this blog. Goes without saying that my interests in fiction do not reflect my interests in real life.

-age gap

-incest / shipcest

-adult x minor ships / cradle ships

-blood and potentially gore

-bugs, crustaceans

-weaponry

-yandere

——————————————————————————

No discourse in the ask box! I will only delete any hate and harassment, and refuse to engage. Thank you! :)

im rusty

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

learning the earth's inner core is solid--that messed me up. but learning it is also squishy? that fixed me

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

earth's inner core is a solid iron ball, which hurt my feelings bc i always thought it was molten liquid (turns out that's the outer core.) thankfully, it is also "surprisingly soft like butter." this is because its atoms are wiggly.

shit man this got me emotional

i accidentally sent this to my boss last year

[headspace-hotel]

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

[uncivilliberties]

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

[willowdove]

Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.

Like, seriously, completely destroy the idea that being passionate about characters you love is childish or shameful. Utterly dash the notion that you aren’t completely worthy of dwelling within the stories and concepts you adore and enjoying them with all your heart. 

Whether you express that with ocs, self-inserts, or whatever, you are not doing anything wrong. You are celebrating your reverence for something. You are giving back some of the love that you felt when you experienced it, which is an innately human reaction. Your passion and wonder are beautiful. Please never let anybody squash that sparkle out of you for expressing it through self-insert art.

Sakura to Supernova

This rare sight is a super-bright, massive Wolf-Rayet star. Calling forth the ephemeral nature of cherry blossoms, the Wolf-Rayet phase is a fleeting stage that only some stars go through soon before they explode.

The star, WR 124, is 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. It is 30 times the mass of the Sun and has shed 10 Suns worth of material – so far. As the ejected gas moves away from the star and cools, cosmic dust forms and glows in the infrared light detectable by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

The origin of cosmic dust that can survive a supernova blast is of great interest to astronomers for multiple reasons. Dust shelters forming stars, gathers together to help form planets, and serves as a platform for molecules to form and clump together, including the building blocks of life on Earth.

Stars like WR 124 also help astronomers understand the early history of the universe. Similar dying stars first seeded the young universe with heavy elements forged in their cores – elements that are now common in the current era, including on Earth.

The James Webb Space Telescope opens up new possibilities for studying details in cosmic dust, which is best observed in infrared wavelengths of light. Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera balances the brightness of WR 124’s stellar core and the knotty details in the fainter surrounding gas. The telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument reveals the clumpy structure of the gas and dust nebula of the ejected material now surrounding the star.

oh,

oh this is absolutely beautiful

I saw some James Webb Telescope scientists give a talk and one of them said this was her favorite image because she had waited and worked 25 years to see this.

i only saved your life because you're necessary to the timeline. it's not as if i like you or anything 🙄
