So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

sometimes i really feel like i can "outsmart" being autistic and insane via my powers of reason and rationality. like sweetie that's like thinking the oregano in your pasta sauce can outsmart the basil. IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SAUCE!!!!!!

#LITERALLY #thats a good metaphor for it#me thinking i can outsmart my ocd by overthinking everything and rationalizing it like no thats the disorder disordering#thats the sauce saucing

i call myself out in the OP and then you call me out EVEN MORE In the tags snjdkfhakjJKFHJKFDJSJFDSK

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

[willgrahamscock]

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

[willgrahamscock]

immediately adding ‘fandom conga lines’ to my vocab

writing tip #4117:

hmm. sounds like that new idea you've just had would be much better AND easier to write than the project you're in the middle of. something to think about

Reblog to bonk your mutuals on the head every time they start thinking negatively about themselves

[paranormal-taters]

I wish I could go to a doctor and just list every single symptom I ever experienced no matter how small and unconnected they seem and the doctor is nice and patient and knows everything and they nod and smile and explain that every symptom I ever experienced is connected to like one rare and often overlooked issue that's sooooo easy to fix with like. a pill. and then I never have to worry about anything ever again.

Lemme just write this real quick to get it out of my system

Oh no it's deeper in my system

actually hate that the bodys response to anything is nausea. ate too much? nauseous. ate too little? nauseous. an imaginary threat got you scared? be nauseous. on your period? you guessed it. sawed into your hand and need to go to the emergency room? perhaps throwing up into your open wound will be of help
