THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE CRUSHES ALL -- WHEN TWO GALAXIES COLLIDE.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth — a relatively close neighbour in cosmic terms.

The galaxy has witnessed some violent and dramatic events in its recent past. Tell-tale signs of this brutality can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic centre — caused by an ongoing merger with its smaller galactic companion NGC 7715..."

Colliding Galaxies

Colliding galaxies, but only I scattered

You left me a wound and took all that mattered

We held hands for a moment, and only a moment

And that warmth was all I craved

But even then, I'm thankful you let go,

Even the slightest warmth can burn.

I look around, my stars scattered

Leaving a trail between you and me

You are part of me, and I am yours

But please take your stars back

Their warmth burns into my wounds

And all I need is a tug from your pull

I struggled with a few of these and had fun with the others.

You can find these for sale on my deviant art, art station as prints, and on red bubble. You can also get these backgrounds as a free download in my Art Club tier on Patreon.

NGC 7714, When Two Galaxies Collide

Globular Cluster NGC 5272 in Canes Venatici Image exposure:8 MinutesImage Size: 77.5 x 51.7 arc-minImage date:2023-04-14 One of my long term astronomy goals is to image every object listed in the famous Messier Catalogue of 110 objects. Well perhaps not all, because ten of them are so far North they never rise above the horizon here. That leaves a hundred targets and this rather brief shot of…

Something just occurred to me.

Why the hell hasn't anyone made a Parks and Rec inspired "who broke it" animated meme with Guardians of the Galaxy? It'd be perfect!!

Every other fandom has one!

Envision this:

Nebula as Ron, Mantis as Leslie, Rocket as Tom, Peter as Ben, Drax as Jerry, Gamora as April and Groot As Donna.

You could swap a few characters and it'd still work. In fact, I can think of plenty of different ways this could go. With characters here as well as ones I haven't listed like Yondu, Cosmo and Kraglin. And I even think this dynamic would work great with the video game Guardians crew if you just swap out Nebula for Nikki.

happy belated star wars day here’s a shit post

[euesworld]

"Lay your head on my chest and listen to the sound of the universe.. it's beats a tune of life, a pitter pattering of soft sounds that will make you feel alive. The sound of galaxies colliding in my chest, the birth of stars or some such stuff.. but more than that it sings a hymn of love. My love for you, like a thousand moons speaking in languages of love untold.. I love you a thousand fold."

I love you with every heartbeat - eUë

ray is prolly just using sand to move on from mew but ykw i'll take what i can and just pray for him actually loving sand someday

"someday"????? excuse you. if you don't think that man is already head over heels for guitar boy then you're mistaken lmao.

I'm not really buying the whole Mew thing tbh, not because of their acting but because I feel like Ray is hanging on to something that he doesn't know he already put behind him. I think his loneliness is telling him lies, not in the past but in the present. he found something new in San, he just doesn't dare to go all in. yet.

hc + home !!

//Silver has a very complicated relationship with the idea of “home”. Is it in the future, where he hails from? That world overtaken by concrete, fire, death, and destruction? Or is it in the past, a place he can never truly belong in? A place where every second spent there, in the back of his mind, he knows he could cause a paradox or worse with his mere presence. 

He’s heard before that home is where one’s family and friends are, but his family has long since been gone and any friends he has, he feels he can hardly call his own. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Shadow, everyone he knows has someone else they consider to be a closer friend. And his closest, dearest friend -the one he could comfortably keep without any risk to timelines- sacrificed herself and he hasn’t seen her since.

If he has no family left in the future and no friends he can safely keep in the past, then all he has left remaining of his own is the ever-present loneliness of a wayward soul, wandering through time alone.

But if you were to ask him, he’d only give you a soft smile and point up to the sky with a voice full of yearning and hope. He’d tell you his home would be the stars themselves, for they were recently unveiled and always there for him, regardless of the time or place. Uncovered by the smoke and smog in lieu of great sacrifice in the future and a constant solace to always look up to on the darkest nights since. Stars which he had later learned had been present all along, above him even past the thick smoke of fires which tore apart his childhood.
