Finding the-goofball’s gifs

Since I always tag my fandom related posts here’s an easy way to find my stuff.

Go to Tumblr Original Post Finder. Add my name and one of the tags below the cut (for episode specific gifsets I use seasonXepisode and the name for example 2x10 the red angel).

Edit 12.06.2021

I just found out that the apostroph is not working anymore. Which totally sucks for everything related to B’Elanna…

More than I want to write, I want to feel inspired. I miss that feeling where you’re so into a story, you fall asleep thinking about it and plan bits in the car and type scenes on your phone. When the words flow so much that you sit down and pound out 2,500 words in an hour. And it’s just so much fun.

That’s what I want.

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

[un-monstre]

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.

[modmad]

watch out for the trap! there's ONE QUESTION where the last option *isn't* the max 'no AI' option, read each part carefully to be sure

remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

The Mascots in the Running to Fly around the Moon!

Earlier this year, the Moon Mascot design contest challenged people of all ages from all over the world to contribute ideas for the zero gravity indicator for the Artemis II mission. This plush item serves a very important purpose — it indicates when the astronauts have reached space by floating around the spacecraft! The zero gravity indicator also reminds the astronauts of Earth when they are far from home.

The Moon Mascot design contest received thousands of entries from over 50 countries — but only 25 are entering the finalist round.

“Rise” | Lucas Ye from Mountain View, California

“Rise” has a soft round body that resembles the Moon and wears a baseball cap that represents Earth. This design is inspired by the “Earthrise” photo captured in 1968 by the Apollo 8 crew.

“Zappy Zebra” | Kenan Ziyan from Canyon, Texas

“Zappy Zebra” is a zebra wearing a spacesuit. This design is inspired by the long and dangerous migratory patterns of zebras. Just as zebras work together as a herd to navigate difficult terrain, the Artemis II crew will work together as a team to explore around the Moon.

“Luna the Space Polar Bear” | Royal School from Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada

“Luna the Space Polar Bear” is a polar bear wearing a spacesuit and an astronaut helmet. This design is inspired by how polar bears adapt to extreme cold environments, similarly to how spacesuits protect astronauts from the extreme environment of space.

“Team GarCo” | Garden County Schools from Oshkosh, Nebraska

“Team GarCo” is a mixture between an amphibious creature and a dog, demonstrating that the unknown does not have to be scary. This design is inspired by the ocean, which many people have to overcome fear to experience.

“Parsec — The Bird That Flew to the Moon” | Richellea Quinn Wijaya from Singapore

“Parsec — The Bird That Flew to the Moon” is a bird that has built himself mechanical wings for the purpose of exploring space and the Moon. This design is inspired by the challenge of lunar exploration, which can be overcome by the power of invention.

“Big Steps of Little Octopus” | Anzhelika Iudakova from Finland

“Big Steps of Little Octopus” is an Earth-colored octopus wearing an astronaut helmet and holding the Moon and the planets of our solar system. This design is inspired by the intelligence and dexterity of the octopus, operating as one sole creature despite having many tentacles.

“Astra-Jelly” | Congressional School from Falls Church, Virginia

“Astra-Jelly” is a jellyfish with stars on the end of each tentacle. The Sun and the Moon can be seen on the hood. This design is inspired by the awe felt by astronauts who observe the Moon, the Sun, and the stars.

“Harper, Chloe, and Mateo’s ZGI” | Congressional School from Falls Church, Virginia

“Harper, Chloe, and Mateo’s ZGI” is a deer decorated with constellations and phases of the Moon. This design is inspired by the Greek goddess Artemis. The moon phases and stars represent space exploration.

“Artemis” | Alexa Pacholyk from Madison, Connecticut

“Artemis” is a plush depiction of the Greek goddess — and mission’s namesake — Artemis. This design is inspired by humanity’s curiosity, a love for mythology, and the continued quest for discovery.

“Beeatrice” | Leila Fleury from Rancho Palos Verdes, California

“Beeatrice” is a bee wearing a spacesuit with openings for her wings. This design is inspired by how bees work together as a hive and the positivity of space travel. Beeatrice symbolizes hard work, the intricacies of space, and the delicate nature of exploration.

“Lepus the Moon Rabbit” | Oakville Trafalgar School from Oakville, Canada  

“Lepus the Moon Rabbit” is a bunny with markings that look like the Moon’s craters. This design is inspired by humanity’s shared fascination with the Moon across time and cultures. Lepus’ balloon symbolizes how precious Earth is in the vastness of space. 

“Sal the Salmon” | Avon High School from Avon, Connecticut

“Sal the Salmon” is a salmon that is detailed to imitate parts of a spaceship. This design is inspired by the cyclical journey of the salmon traveling to and from saltwater and freshwater environments.

“Corey the Explorer” | Daniela Colina from Lima, Peru

“Corey the Explorer” is a plush characterization of human DNA. This design is inspired by all people on Earth and our shared origins with the stars. Corey represents humanity’s curiosity, courage, and connections through our similar makeup with the cosmos.

“Flying squirrel ready for its take off to space!” | Caroline Goyer-Desrosiers from St. Eustache, Canada

“Flying squirrel ready for its take off to space!” is a squirrel wearing an astronaut helmet and decorated with a design intended to symbolize the trajectory of the Artemis II mission. This design is a tribute to the designer’s grandmother and inspired by how space exploration brings together different generations.

“Art & The Giant” | Giulia Bona from Berlin, Germany

“Art & The Giant” is an astronaut sitting on the shoulder of a mythological giant named Orion. This design is inspired by the phrase “standing on the shoulders of giants” and the mythology of Artemis and Orion.

“Lunar Crust-acean" | Tabitha Ramsey from Frederick, Maryland

“Lunar Crust-acean" is a crab with markings on its carapace in the shape of the craters on the Moon. This design is inspired by crabs and what they symbolize in different cultures, including rebirth, protection, and hope.

“Celestial Griffin” | Gabriela Hadas from Plano, Texas

“Soluna Flier” | Savon Blanchard from Pearland, Texas

“Soluna Flier” is a moth-butterfly hybrid: luna moth on one side and a monarch butterfly on the other side. This design is inspired by the Apollo and Artemis missions and their namesakes: Apollo, god of the Sun, and Artemis, goddess of the Moon.

“MORU: A Cloud Aglow with Moonlight and Hope” | Ayako Moriyama from Kyoto, Japan

“MORU: A Cloud Aglow with Moonlight and Hope” is a cloud fairy. This design is inspired by humanity’s collective hopes and endless drive to explore. MORU stands for “Morph + More of You.”

“Creation Mythos” | Johanna Beck from McPherson, Kansas

“Space Mola-mola (aka Moon Fish)” | Guillaume Truong from Toulouse, France

“Space Mola-mola (aka Moon Fish) plushie” is a moonfish decorated with the Orion and Scorpius constellations. This design is inspired by humanity’s bond with Earth’s oceans and space.

“Terra the Titanosaurus” | Arianna Robins from Rockledge, Florida

“MISI: Guardian of the Journey” | Sandy Moya from Madrid, Colombia

“MISI: Guardian of the Journey” is a humanoid character with a butterfly shaped jacket. This design is inspired by the hope and care behind humanity’s missions to space. Misi’s feminine features are a tribute to the Greek goddess Artemis.

“Mona the Moon Moth” | Bekah Crowmer from Mooresville, Indiana

“Past, Present, and Future” | Courtney John from Llanelli, Wales

The Artemis II astronauts will select a flight design from the finalists. Then, the zero gravity indicator will be fabricated by the Thermal Blanket Lab and prepared for its mission around the Moon!
