This night…

Kenneth shot Neowise over the salt flats with his airstream in it. This is the photo that got him hooked on comet chasing ☄️

I feel like Ishmael would be the type to clean herself off with a near-concerning amount of frequency (especially in modern aus)

No I'm not projecting because she has OCD and I heard that some people with OCD tend to wash their hands a lot and I just so happen to do that to calm my ass sometimes why do you ask?

Went out at 330 am to catch a glimpse of the neowise comet. Did catch a very faint view that was bright for around 15 minutes before sunrise started to crack the horizon, but I didn't have a powerful camera to capture a shot. The star in my pictures is actually Venus. Also found Mars and Saturn. Pre dawn coffee and astronomy is perfect ♥️✨🌌

AL headcanons: since Wisdom Cubes run on cognition, each shipgirl is vaguely influenced by their namesake

This can range between (relatively) on-the-nose cases, i.e. Hunter being... well, a hunter, to something like New Jersey somehow getting 50 pounds of wet spaghetti in your backyard. On complete accident.

(Side note: any ships named after Ohio, Florida, or their respective cities are absolutely deranged. This includes Cleveland, who is normally very good at hiding it... She still gets punted by Vestal twice a month because her (small) rat army keep somehow getting into the medicine cabinets, though)

So here's a fun fact about my deranged ramblings: one of my OCs is an Ishmael Expy; said expy happens to be from a fandom that primarily has to do with water, ships, and monsterous entities of dubious origin

Keep in mind that this was done waaay back when Canto IV was still considered the hot shit and probably a little before Mili slapped Fly, My Wings onto their channel

Anyway I say this because Canto V dropped a while back and rewired my brain chemistry, which then caused me to look at my expy OC (who happens to be in the "monsterous entities of dubious origin (human(oid))" category) and go "you know what? Fuck it you're the reincarnation of the Pallid Whale now."

"How does that work? Fuck if I know just throw around the multiverse theory and the people will eventually accept it!"

A couple of Ishmael centric fic bits before i pass out because it's 3am rn

▪︎Every single shipgirl on the planet is a sapphic in some capacity

▪︎ Some will prefer men while others are just straight up lesbians

▪︎ The kid ships (mutsukis, chan-types, etc) only know familial love.

▪︎If you try doing the bad touchy to the kiddos Friedrich will appear like your ex on instagram and snap your wrists

▪︎ Some ships are aro, ace, or aroace; this does not nessecarily mean they're not completely unattracted, some of them could just have a harder time establishing romantic bonds

▪︎Case in point Javelin literally being in am oathed polycule with the starters and not realizing they were married until they were 2 years in when someone points it out

▪︎"Wait, we're married?" "Javelin, what do you think the ring on your finger is." "...friendship ring?"

▪︎(This is either Javelin being a dumbass or her not actually realizing what romantic love is supposed to feel like, it's up to interpretation but i'm on the latter)

Ryoshu and Roon are gonna bond as murder besties and Ryo is gonna teach Roon the best ways to brutally mutilate her enemies

The rest of Iron Blood is mildly terrified because Roon's already a crazy ass murder hobo once her boredom hits a certain threshold she does nOT need more ideas to feed that destructive urge.

On the flipside, Friedrich is watching this go down like a proud mother
