alpha tingyun looking like this at feixiao and yukong after getting omega reader pregnant

For some reason I can hear these images and imagine Tingyun going “EHEHEHEHEHE” like a fox while she curls up around you protectively. Her laughter is both mocking and irritating to Feixiao and Yukong, but alas, the two alphas can’t do anything to stop her because you’ve accepted Tingyun as a mate too.

Oh well, Tingyun may be laughing now, but after you’re done delivering her pups, Feixiao and Yukong are already doing rock paper scissors to see who gets to impregnate you next (right after you heal properly ofc)

OMG he's so close to me, and totally chill

(I didn't interact with him, don't worry)

How does it feel to be living my dream!!! That's so cool!!! Sorry I'm only just now seeing this, I've been busy (new job!!) and missed it. But what a cool experience to be so close to this guy and see just how curious and smart they are!

PIXEL ART PRACTICE BC MY TABLET NEEDS TO COOL OFF

Dr1 pixel style

Pixel Chibis

Dr1 underwear (yes, they are different, the have different bit rates):

Dr2 and V3 underwear:

If this does decent enough, I'll probably do the rest of the dr cast as dr1 chibis (they are my favorite sprites)

Flavor descriptions for undies under cut

Yasuke's Underwear

A simple pair of boxer briefs with a pattern of the face of the main character from his favorite magazine, Comic PonPon. Despite the very childish looking briefs of a very serious young man, they are worn out. Clear signs that they are very well loved.

Ryoko's Underwear

Very plain panties with a simple bow and generic strawberry pattern, befitting of her sweet but boring personality. Bought from a simple department store, its unclear why these are deemed her favorite pair. She'll probably be looking for them tomorrow... Maybe you should return them.

They asked me to say a few words. As though I could stomach their presence. As though you can be summarised.

Always so funny typing your blog into the tumblr search because at a certain point the blog pops up and you stop typing so you get “is the ow”

Every time it looks like I was attacked in the middle of speaking. Is the OW.

is the ow?

Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.

Men love me for my cadaver swag. The way my skin is cold like a corpse, my off-putting demeanor, and the way I stand in the threshold of the still-living and the dead.

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.

It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!

But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!

The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.

It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?

Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.

Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.

Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.

Lotta problems with lens caps.

For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.

This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:

However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.
