Kitten Burst released 2 years ago today!

Time flies as fast as Hapi. Thank you to everyone who's supported the project over the years!

To celebrate I've released a secret bonus track called Ogma. It's a compilation of demos for the DLC I was working on that I never was able to finish. They work well as a sequential track like Burning Bright.

The constellation of Hercules, the Hero // E. Slawik/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Zamani

Click below to read about this large constellation and some of the named stars here. There's also an annotated image below the cut!

Hercules, named after the Greek hero Heracles, is one of the original 48 constellations laid down by Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. This is the fifth-largest modern constellation!

Although today we associate it with the Greek hero Heracles, it was not always thus. The Babylonians saw it as the "Standing Gods," depicted as a man with a serpent's body. Early Greek myths call this constellation "the Kneeler."

Eventually, myths solidified to see this figure as Heracles, perhaps about to start his fight against the dragon of the Hesperides, represented by nearby Draco. Still others saw it as Theseus or Orpheus.

The named stars are, in order of brightness:

Kornephoros (β Herculis), a binary star about 139 light years from Earth. The primary star is a yellow giant star. Its name comes from the Greek word κορυνηφόρος meaning "club-bearer."

Sarin (δ Herculis) is another binary star, this one about 75 light years away. The primary star is a blue-white giant star. This star was given this name by the Czech astronomer Antonín Bečvář, although we don't know what it means.

Rasalgethi (α Herculis) is a triple star system lying about 360 light years away. The three stars are a red supergiant, a yellow giant, and a blue-white giant star. The name comes from the Arabic phrase ra‘is al-jāthī meaning "head of the kneeler."

Tusizuo (109 Herculis) is a solitary star about 121 light years away. It is an orange giant star. Its name comes from Chinese astronomy: Tú Sì (屠肆) meaning "butcher's shop." Together with Bodu and Ramus, it forms the obsolete constellation Cerberus.

Bodu (95 Herculis) is a double star consisting of a blue-white giant and a yellow giant, offering a nice contrasting color pair. The system lies about 432 light years away. Its name comes from Chinese astronomy: Bó Dù (帛度) meaning "textile ruler." Together with Tusizuo and Ramus, it forms the obsolete constellation Cerberus.

Ramus (102 Herculis) is a solitary star about 920 light years away. It is a blue giant star. Its name refers to an obsolete constellation, Ramus Pomifer, Latin for "apple branch," a branch held in Hercules' left hand.

Maasym (λ Herculis) is a single orange giant star about 393 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic word miʽṣam meaning "wrist."

Cujam (ω Herculis) is a binary star system about 250 light years from Earth. The primary star is a blue-white giant star. Its name comes from the Latin word caiam meaning "club."

Marsic (κ Herculis) is a double star about 390 light years from Earth. This is not a true binary system, but rather an optical pairing of a yellow giant and an orange dwarf. The name comes from the Arabic Al-Mirfaq meaning "the elbow."

Ogma (HD 149026) is a yellow Sun-like star about 249 light years from Earth. It has one planet orbiting it, about a third the mass of Jupiter, named Smertrios. Both names were were given by the people of France: Ogma refers to Ogmios, a Gallo-Roman deity of eloquence, and Smertrios is a Gallic deity of war.

Hunor (HD 147506) is a yellow-white star about 419 light years away. It has two planets orbiting it, the closer of them named Magor, having about 9 times the mass of Jupiter. Both names were given by the people of Hungary: Hunor was a legendary ancestor of the Huns and the brother of Magor.

Irena (HD 146389) is a yellow-white star about 445 light years away. It has one confirmed planet orbiting it, about 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter, named Iztok. Both names were given by the people of Slovenia: both are characters from the Slovenian novel Pod svobodnim soncem.

Franz (HAT-P-14) is a yellow-white star about 731 light years away. It has one confirmed planet orbiting it, about 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter, named Sissi. Both names were chosen by the people of Austria: both are characters from the Austrian romance movie Sissi.

Pipoltr (V1434 Herculis) is a Sun-like star about 757 light years away. It has one confirmed planet orbiting it, about twice the mass of Jupiter, named Umbäässa. Both names were chosen by the people of Liechtenstein: Pipoltr is a bright butterfly, while Umbäässa is a barely visible ant.

Old School FE Artist Spotlight #2: Tetsu Matsudaira (松平徹)

FE World Tour scan credits: MrTalkingDinosaur

Previous artist: Ryou Kitakami

WARNING: There's gonna be a few mentions of [18+] titles... Keep that in mind!

I guess this is a series now! On today's episode of the "Old School FE Artist Spotlight" we have; Tetsu Matsudaira!

Tetsu Matsudaira is a Boy's Love (BL) mangaka, as well as an illustrator and character designer that has been active since ~1990. He did character designs for the BL visual novel, Lしたいね！(2002). And for any old school BL fans, he illustrated a manga adaption of Sukisho (2001).

According to his defunct website, one of his favourite characters was Shinon. He even had a page dedicated to FE9 where he also mentioned that his favourite ship with him was Gatrie/Shinon. He also liked Ike/Shinon and Janaff/Shinon. (His homepage at the time even had a cute little GIF banner with Gatrie and Shinon!). At one point on his website, he used to have... FE5 ringtones? I'm guessing he recreated sound effects from the game.

Here is a list of his artist credits for the FE series:

Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War: Gag Battle (Holy Warriors of Light)

FE World Tour (Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4)

But before he worked as artist in the FE series... He made doujinshi for it! Many of them, in fact. Here's a list of those titles, their dates and the topics they focused on (English titles are machine translated):

PON PON (1992) [General]

Sex, Lies, and the Devil Sword (1992) [Ogma/Navarre] [18+]

Navarre Returns (1994) [General]

HOFHOF (1994)

Children's Crusade 4 (1997) [Finn centric]

His titles Ready Yet, You Chicken? (2025) [18+] and Drowning in Sweet Kahlua Milk (2025) [18+] are available to purchase in English if you'd like to support him. He has no active social media accounts, as far as I know.

I hope you enjoyed this post on one of FE's many contributing artists!
