The constellation of Vulpecula, the Fox // E. Slawik/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Zamani

Click below for some information about this tiny constellation as well as an annotated image!

Vulpecula, which is Latin for "little fox," is a tiny constellation created in the 17th century by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius. He originally called this Vulpecula cum ansere, which is Latin for "the little fox with the goose," and drawings showed it as a fox with a goose in its mouth. Nowadays, we only see it as a fox, but the goose has lived on in the name of Vulpecula's brightest star.

There is only one named star in Vulpecula:

Anser (α Vulpeculae) is a part of a wide binary pair with 8 Vulpeculae. Anser itself is a red giant star about 291 light years away. Its name refers to Hevelius' original constellation, being Latin for "goose."

Chews onto Rays face cheek *

He’d be like

Ray: “Star…if you’re hungry just say that. You are in the presence of a chef.”

What if someone calls Ray as their "work husband"?? Be it MC or someone else lol. What's his reaction?

Oh boy, if it were M/C it’s no biggy, he already is going to marry you so, eh. Now. If it’s not m/c

Rando: *clings to Ray’s arm.* “This is my work hubby.” *Way to cheerful right in front of M/C

M/C: “oh, really? That’s…cool.” *A bit confused but doesn’t give a darn really.*

Ray: *He pull his arm away with a a lip curl that has the disgust of a thousand rotten tomatoes.* “I didn’t agree to this.”

Rando: “oh come on! We totally get along and I get you coffee, help you finish up paperwork,…” *A smirk.* “And I help you on field.”

M/C: “on field?”

Rando: “oh, yea…law enforcement. You get it.”

Ray: “That sounds like a whole lot of you choosing…all I heard what I did dot, dot, dot. Name one thing I’ve done for you…” *Hes irritated,*

Rando: …”uh.”

Ray: “That’s right, nothing. Sounds one sided to me.” *Smiles.* “now, I prefer you not refer to me as your work husband…thanks.”

Rando: *leaves on the verge of tears.*

M/C: “…that was a bit mean don’t you think?” *A little concerned.*

Ray: “She had to be corrected so she would t forget I’m not for her honey.”

M/C: “oh, who are you for then?”

Ray: “…”

M/C: “…”

Ray: “I just referred to you as honey, what do you think?”

M/C: “oh…”

Hi! I hope you're doing well. I just want to ask something about Ray.

I read your post about what would happen if MC died and there's two version of the response: unhealthy and healthy Ray. I just have one question about it. Specifically, the Healthy Ray one.

Okay. So, here's my question:

In the Healthy version of Ray, would he find a replacement for MC incase they die?

Personally, I don't think Ray would find a replacement because MC is (partially?) the reason why his mindset became healthier. They became his tie to humanity and eventually, humanity's saving grace. Because of MC, Ray chooses to protect humanity. If they were to die, I think Ray and his mindset would deteriorate because MC is not there anymore to clear it—the reason to protect humanity is not there anymore. The very person that saw humanity past the facade and monster in Ray.

Heyo, good question, I have an answer.

You are in the right track, Ray would never find another and that just the truth. Even if he tired to fill M/C’s role with someone else it wouldn’t last long because no person can fill the gaping hole that was left when m/c passed.

M/C is the reason he got better, become human, BUT, he is still grateful for m/c and how they changed him for the good. So as an act of preserving the memory of M/C, he will keep on being human. He will keep up with what m/c has taught him because they changed him so fundamentally.

On the off chance he did decide to lay waste to the people, m/c isn’t there anymore, he would live Will guilt that’s born deep because he knows it’s not what they would have wanted.

You can not tell me that Ray gets no pull game. Honestly, there is at least someone else out there or a few someone’s who are just like, “wow this guy is so cute and mysterious.” So, I drew something about it. 😂 Bro doesn’t know how to take a compliment from people. (Especially if it’s not from mc)

The constellation of Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown // E. Slawik/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Zamani

Click below to read some info about the mythology of the Northern Crown as well as an annotated image!

Corona Borealis, which is Latin for "northern crown," is a small constellation set down by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century.

In Greek mythology, this crown was associated with the story of Theseus and the minotaur. Corona Borealis represents the crown given by Dionysus to Ariadne, the daughter of Minos of Crete. In one legend, Ariadne then gives the crown to Theseus to help him defeat the minotaur. He uses the crown's light to escape the labyrinth and Dionysus later sets it in the heavens.

In order of brightness, the two named stars are:

Alphecca (α Coronae Borealis), a binary star system about 75 light years from Earth. This is a close binary system, where the stars complete an orbit around each other every 17 days. The primary star is a blue-white giant star, and the secondary is a Sun-like yellow star. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase nayyir al-fakka meaning "the bright star of the broken ring of stars."

Nusakan (β Coronae Borealis) is another binary star system, this one being about 112 light years from Earth. The primary star is a blue-white giant. Its name comes from the Arabic al-nasaqān meaning "the two lines of stars."
