Binary Land December 19, 1985 // Family Computer

I was going to make a gender binary joke here, but seeing as the object of the game is to unite the boy and girl penguin, it kind of has me covered there. I certainly understand and appreciate what Binary Land is trying to do. It's a maze puzzle game where you control two characters at once. The second character's movements mirror the first's (so they go left when you go right and vice versa, but up and down are the same) and the goal is to unite them at the top of the screen. Cool idea, but I suck at puzzles. Also, sometimes you will want to focus on the second character's movement, like when your first character gets trapped in a spiderweb and you need to free them, at which point the mirrored controls seriously start to hurt my brain. At least there's no cucking involved in this one.

If you pass up this opportunity to vote for a disabled Black femme enby, I won't listen to anything you have to say ever again.

Pride Jeff's!!!

There is no pride Jeff the Land Shark art (that I could find) so I must remedy this!!! I will be making more than this (and other versions), but here's the progress, queer, non-binary, and grayromantic flag!! If you have any flags you wanna see lemme know, cuz I WILL be making more (Happy Pride!!!)

Sooo funny to me that Peglar and Bridgens are out here having a functional tender communicative relationship with guilt-free understandings of their respective sexualities and desires and with clear boundaries that both reflect their personal preferences and keep them safe from retaliation, while every other man out here is like “what the fuck are emotions. I’m going to die. I want to kill this guy. Nvm turns out i was just horny. I want to fuck this guy. I’m going to kill myself. Our wedding was on Tuesday. We’ve broken up five times since then. I’m going to murder him. I’m starving and I’m sure he is responsible somehow. It was a beautiful ceremony. There is a great darkness within us all. The murder will be an act of mercy that neither of us can fully understand or recognize as such. If you ask me how i’m doing i will say i’m fine and i’m so emotionally stunted that I genuinely believe it. I’m still angry and hungry and horny and freezing and it’s all my dead ex husband’s fault.”

Thinking about Bran being told the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree and the Reeds constantly going, "Are you SURE your dad didn't tell you this story? It's pretty much a hint to the biggest mystery of the series. No? Lmao couldn't be me."

i love the little moments with bran and the reeds where the reeds will just completely break the fourth wall and turn to look and me the reader and say this is really important these stories we’re telling are the hinges the story you’re reading is on!!! they know

lowkey i know it wont happen now but i wish demteri had also went ahead and joined cobra kai and started his villian era

finding out the one person he even got swept up in all this karate shit for is once again planning on abandoning him and throwing out everything they ever dreamed and worked for making you feel like they never actually cared at all the biggest betrayal

after you made it so you forgave them for it never got the full apology you should have gotten but you just wanted your bf back and of course he feels bad about it so why push it so you never asked and never talked about it all those times they hurt you literally breaking bones calling you names terriozing you at every turn you look past it supporting them on the sidelines cause you couldnt even think about being better or without him again

only for him to turn around and do it again

i am for demteri villian rights

Went to Ren Faire this weekend as a tiefling. Ran into a sweet G.ale who greeted me as T.av and gave me a big hug.

My fellow Trigun enjoyers, assemble 🙌🏻

If you had to guess, which planet/moon do you think would most likely be Noman’s Land/Gunsmoke?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while (because my latest obsession is astronomy, although it’s also a long running one). In both animes and manga there are two suns, but I’ve been generally looking at exoplanets (planets outside our Solar System) within the habitable zone of their stars, thinking it would be complicated to find a two-star (binary) system that could have any kind of habitability. Yesterday though I found THIS OFFICIAL ART FROM NASA:

(Look at this, it’s so pretty!)

Turns out, NASA has a whole site that is… kind of an AU in which space travel is viable, and they explain how these planets would look like and what events would be cool to see in them and whatnot. They even have some 3D rendering from the surface of those planets so that you can see how it would look like! When I say this website is cool, I’m underselling it:

ANYWAY, back to Trigun shenanigans! When I saw the poster for Kepler-16b, I realized that yes, you could actually live on a planet of a binary system! These are called circumbinary planets, and a funny detail when you read the Wikipedia page:

A quick note on nomenclature: from what I’ve gathered, the name of the star system is followed by a letter or two. If it’s in caps, it’s a star, with A being the primary one and B the secondary; if it’s in lower case, it’s a planet. The planet counter always (?) starts at b, so if there are seven planets in the system called TRAPPIST-1 they would be TRAPPIST-1b, TRAPPIST-1c, TRAPPIST-1d…

Another important note is that there are two types of planetary configuration: If the planet only orbits one star, it’s called S-Type (or non-circumbinary planet); if it orbits both stars, it’s called P-Type (or circumbinary). Hope this didn’t get too confusing!

So I’ve made a list of binary systems that could potentially host human life. Which one do you think would be the best choice?

Kepler-16: the NASA poster one, its planet unofficially called “Tatooine” amongst scientists (good for them). 16b (the planet) is, however, a gas giant like Saturn, so it would be impossible to live there. If it has a moon with an atmosphere though, that could host life! And we’d get to see in the sky two stars and one bigass planet covering a good chunk of it. Pretty neat 🪐

Kepler-35: The planet discovered here is not within the habitable zone, but there is a high chance there might be other rocky planets in it. We can just make it up however we want it to be ✨

Kepler-38: Same as 35, but also the mass of the planet is unknown (I think? Wikipedia says one thing and NASA another, so idk)

Kepler-47: It has 3 planets, which is very cool 🪐🪐🪐 The second one, 47c, is within the habitable zone, but it would be the same case as 16b (living on a moon). The other two planets would also be perfectly visible, I think.

PH1/Kepler-64: First circumbinary planet found in a quadruple (FOUR STARTS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) system, and the discovery was made by citizens! How cool is that!? The planet orbits two of them, but the other system is fairly near and probably influences the planet?. They’re probably perfectly visible from the surface.

ROXs 42: Not much known about the planet, but it orbits the secondary star and has an atmosphere💫 That’s because it’s a gas giant, so it’s not habitable and we’d have to use a moon. Would be cool to see the stars wandering the sky on different paths though, since it’s the only S-Type system in this list!

Kepler-453: I’ve gotten confusing info about the habitability zone on this system, but we know that there’s a gas giant half the size of Jupiter 🤔

Kepler-1647: Same as Kepler-16 and 47. Apparently the system would be capable of sustaining an Earth-sized moon! 🌑

A quick sketch of how each of them would look like:
