“He gave you his office?!”

Yes, he did.

Peter Parker is so adoptable. “Oh you mean adaptable-“ NO.

First up we got the classic irondad/spiderson dynamic. ICONIC. Can have you punching wholes in the walls with the amount of FEELS and FLUFF and, of course, ANGST. 10/10, great way to get started. BUT. We’ve barely even scratched the surface.

My other personal favourite: Matt Murdock AKA Daredevil adopts Peter. Bonus points if it’s after No Way Home, the emotional hurt/comfort potential is IMMENSE. I just. I love that shit. I eat it up every time. GIMME!!!

Next up, one I did not think would work, but it ABSOLUTELY DOES: Bucky Barnes adopts Peter. Currently reading a fic called Anatomy In Reverse by pansley on ao3, and lemme tell ya im OBSESSED. I did not think there was potential there, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. (Lovely fic, would 100% recommend it btw)

Oh and did you think Peters adoptableness only reached until the confinements of the MCU? THINK AGAIN. Cuz the Batfam is NOT ABOVE ADDING SPIDERS TO THE BATS AND BIRDS!! You think Batman has an adoption problem, you’ve clearly never seen the amount of fics of Nightwing adopting Peter. (I guess it runs in the family. Also, Dark Matter anyone??)

And these are just the ones I’ve come across! It’s like if you feel like writing parent-child dynamics in the mcu - or even outside of it, jesus! - you just get yourself a ready-to-adopt Peter Parker, maybe kill of some more of his parental figures i guess, and boom! You got yourself an adoptee!

Could you give us a step-by-step guide on how to court a Nebuterran? For... Reasons, im sure you understand

Oh boy XDDDDDD

So this is something that might actually become a plot point depending on how things develop (because yes I have the story plotted out but these characters will go and do their own thing lol).

Because of that I can't really give you a satisfying answer right now because that's something I will mostly figure out when I get to writing it. I don't even have a step-by-step guide on it written out 🤣 It's not gonna be anything too strange though. It's all about forming a really close connection with someone over time (because they bond for life), gift giving is a big part of it among other things. There are things would mean a ton to a nebuterran if you were to give it to them, something that we would see as something basic or normal. But that's going into spoiler territory again.

For Sun and Moon, getting Eclipse's approval would help too. Not permission, you wouldn't truly need his permission, but if you're gonna be part of the family you better make sure he actually likes you XD

[After a few minutes, Neth would be able to hear Soul's faint breathing]

[The door to Fable's lab opens, followed by someone seemingly muttering to herself]

[They’d see a one way mirror into two cells- the two also seperated by another one way mirror. The doors to both would be heavily locked, there are open potion ports into both cells and seperate PA systems for both cells]

[aimer-arts]

By your side.

[sculked-scientist]

[Of course, Caspian. You've done so much for my son and I'm so thankful]

[Perix throws the cell door open and steps in, slamming it behind her]

@sculked-scientist

[Caspian lurched away, cowering in the corner, starting to tremble]

another installment of "I listened to all of the final boss themes and needed to draw them within the duration of their theme" ignore that I forgot dark nebula's name and excluded dark from mirror taranza's name

i couldn't fill all the empty spaces with Kirby's, sorry for that

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s flight harness is transferred from the mock-up structure to the spacecraft flight structure.

Your Body is Wired Like a NASA Space Telescope. Sort Of.

If our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope were alive, its nervous system would be the intricate wiring, or “harness,” that helps different parts of the observatory communicate with one another. Just like the human body sends information through nerves to function, Roman will send commands through this special harness to help achieve its mission: answering longstanding questions about dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets, among other mind-bending cosmic queries. 

Roman’s harness weighs around 1,000 pounds and is made of about 32,000 wires and 900 connectors. If those parts were laid out end-to-end, they would be 45 miles long from start to finish. Coincidentally, the human body’s nerves would span the same distance if lined up. That’s far enough to reach nearly three-fourths of the way to space, twice as far as a marathon, or eight times taller than Mount Everest! 

An aerial view of the harness technicians working to secure Roman’s harness to the spacecraft flight structure.

Over a span of two years, 11 technicians spent time at the workbench and perched on ladders, cutting wire to length, carefully cleaning each component, and repeatedly connecting everything together.  

Space is usually freezing cold, but spacecraft that are in direct sunlight can get incredibly hot. Roman’s harness went through the Space Environment Simulator – a massive thermal vacuum chamber – to expose the components to the temperatures they’ll experience in space. Technicians “baked” vapors out of the harness to make sure they won’t cause problems later in orbit.  

Technicians work to secure Roman’s harness to the interior of the spacecraft flight structure. They are standing in the portion of the spacecraft bus where the propellant tanks will be mounted.  

The next step is for engineers to weave the harness through the flight structure in Goddard’s big clean room, a space almost perfectly free of dust and other particles. This process will be ongoing until most of the spacecraft components are assembled. The Roman Space Telescope is set to launch by May 2027. 

Learn more about the exciting science this mission will investigate on X and Facebook.

What would we have to do to gain Eclipse’s trust? Would we have to show how much we care about Sun and Moon, like showing them affection or doing things for them that someone who didn’t care wouldn’t do? I feel like Eclipse would be looking for very specific things lol

The thing is that Eclipse will be naturally suspicious of you and will assume you have ulterior motives and that you're not genuine in your friendship and affection with Sun and Moon. That it's all just a ploy. You could him that you care about them, but why should he believe you? It could all be an elaborate act as far as he knows.

But yeah, you're right, he would be looking for something more specific that will prove to him that you're not what he believes you to be. Just... good luck with that lol.

There are big reasons for why he has this mindset and that heavily ties in with the plot, so you'll find out more about it when the time is right XD
