#Exoplanets are cool idk

[celestialdaily]

The celestial object of the day is CoRoT-7b!

This exoplanet completes an orbit around its star in only 20 hours. Because of its proximity, the temperature reaches 2,000°C on the day-side and -200°C on the night-side.

It's thought that the harsh climate evaporates its surface rock, forming a thin atmosphere (1% of Earth's) of sodium, oxygen, and silicon monoxide. These may rain as minerals like spinel, enstatite, and corundum from the daylight side

wuh-oh! star trek oc time again. haven't drawn her in uh. years. so here she is once more: ensign tila'ave

[shinewerst]

Here I will leave some of my thoughts, guesses and headcanons. Some of them may be stupid and unreasonable, but I will share them with you anyway.

I've noticed that a lot of people headcanon Earth and Moon or Earth and Venus as siblings. And I partially agree with this. But here are my thoughts on this matter: They are celestial bodies and they do not have siblings in the usual sense, but since they live for a very long time, over billions of years of being close to each other, they can develop family feelings for each other. But only if they are always close. Therefore, most often this occurs between a planet and its moons or between several moons of one planet. This is unlikely to happen between planets, since each of them is in its own orbit, perhaps double planets are an exception. Therefore, I headcanon the Moon and Earth as brothers, Phobos and Deimos too, and Mars as their guardian. (Earth and Venus may be somehow connected, but not family) It's more difficult with gas giants. I believe that when their moons are too numerous and constantly increasing in number, they stop keeping track of them and treat them more like decorations. But Idk.

In the Solar System, having life is supposedly cool and the Earth is proud of it, Venus dreams of it, etc. but it seems to me that in other systems the attitude towards this may be different. For example, I have an oc exoplanet and in her home system this was not considered something cool. They literally treated it like lice lol.

Planets/stars/satellites do not speak any of the earth’s languages, but their own. But different systems have something like their own accents and dialects. So my oc speaks a little differently from them.

In different parts of the universe, the appearance of the planets changes and what the planets will look like usually depends on the star (I'm talking specifically about planethumans).

For the planet/star and satellites, love is something deeper than for earthlings. This is very strong, sensual.

I also noticed how in many fanfictions characters call Proto-Earth that way. But it seems to me that the term “Proto-Earth” itself appeared after his death, namely the collision with Theia and the appearance of the “new Earth”. Before that, everyone simply called him Earth.

Each of them has its own axis tilt, right? They don't really follow it, especially in the planethumans format, so I made a headcanon about them sleeping on their slants. So, Venus sleeps upside down, huh?

The Earth speaks all earthly languages and knows the stages of evolution of almost every creature on his surface, although sometimes he himself may be confused about this. His past memories are slowly fading. He does not remember how he and the Moon appeared, he does not remember that there could have been life on Venus before. I imagine him periodically reading a book about dinosaurs because he doesn't want to forget about them.

I like to think that Mars used to be a bad-tempered asshole, but Earth doesn't remember that. Mars himself does not want to remember this at all, since he has already grown out of it.

Probably the Earth became the way we see him because of humans. Perhaps he was different before. I imagine him as a sweet and kind planet who does his best to care for his friends and his little brother. But when he changed, Luna continued to love him like a brother and care for him in return.

Earth usually tells others only the good side of earthlings, but usually he complains to the Moon about how much he is hurt, about how they are starting another war and doing other terrible things. Therefore, the Moon is much more tolerant of the Earth; he must be the only one who knows how hard it is for him.

Venus is jealous of the Earth and everyone has already understood this. I like to think that Venus, after losing life on its surface, feels the need to protect Earth and its inhabitants.

Luna is aroace. Just because for some reason it seems to me that dating someone just doesn’t suit him.

That's all for now. Maybe I'll create a second part cause I might have forgotten something :p

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:

[delta-orionis]

@chromatophorium I saw these tags on my ask blog post and wanted to respond to them on their own:

#:D this is very interesting!#Nice. Rain deer constellation...#1. Cool. Now I know constellations named after animals exist in this setting! (Only know rain world stuff through osmosis)#2. Omg is it a pun???? Yeah!!! Love me some sci-fi name puns!!!! Rain deer! Reindeer!#3. Rain deer outside of being a pun is also nice conceptually.... A rain deer...

Rain Deer look like this!

A peek behind the curtain... Rain World doesn't have any official constellations, so I'm kind of just making up my own. The nebula I talked about in the post is in the real-world constellation Taurus (the Bull), and Rain Deer were the closest Rain World creature I could think of to that.

#Hmm. I didn't know you couldn't tell there is liquid water on a planet far away? But I guess it makes sense! Most stuff in space is either#Gas or solid or plasma (as far as I know) so like... If you wanna analyze stuff in space you make your instruments detect that

You can determine the contents of an exoplanet's atmosphere by looking at its spectra. You're looking at the spectrum of a star's light as it passes through the planet's atmosphere, so by comparing this to the star's spectra without the planet in the way, you can tell what is in the planet's atmosphere. You can indirectly study exoplanets this way, without seeing them directly. It's neat!

#And I'm guessing 'void sea' is a metaphor and void isn't actually liquid?? Maybe. If it was I would think one would develop an instrument t#See if stuff is liquid in space far away...

"Void fluid" is a fictional substance in Rain World that is very closely tied to the game's lore. It's implied to be a liquid, and the Void Sea is a physical sea full of the fluid. I won't go into much further because the nature of the Void Sea is a massive game spoiler, lol. But you do get to learn about it in-game!

I personally headcanon Void Fluid to be an exotic form of matter. Neutron stars and pulsars are theorized to have a very extreme, poorly understood form of matter under their surface, and studying the "glitches" I mentioned in the post might help us understand it. It's a stretch, but maybe by understanding matter under extreme conditions TSAC could draw conclusions about Void Fluid as well.

#Woah!!! They see earth/earth equivalent!??

That's what I'm implying, yes. :]

There's no evidence for it in-game, but I like to think that Rain World takes place on an alien planet and not Earth.

A lot of the stuff on my ask blog is personal headcanon that deviates somewhat from actual Rain World canon... in a way a lot of the asks I've answered are my personal theories about how to reconcile real-world concepts with some of the lore of Rain World that might not make total sense. I might be giving a warped view of the game's lore if my blog is the only source of information about it, lol.

#hope my “no lore knowledge or deeper space knowledge”-ramblings aren't annoying but entertaining somehow#Idk. I find it entertaining to see how people connect pieces into a logical-ish order when they don't have all the pieces#Sometimes. Other times it's frustrating. But watching someone in the middle of a story with an overarching mystery that you have seen#the ending of... And seeing their theories and how they differ from yours is interesting.#hope this is more like that than... Idk. The frustrating part of watching someone not being able to solve a video game puzzle.

I don't mind! I think it's interesting to see the thoughts of someone with very little knowledge of the Rain World canon... I try to make my posts at least somewhat accessible to people who might not be familiar with the lore. That said, Rain World's lore is very deep and interesting and I highly recommend playing the game for yourself if you have the chance. :]

This one was titled: Finding Comfort in the Enormity of the Universe When Your Problems Feel Too Big.

Yeah, I was *thisclose* to an existential crisis (aren't we all at some point?) and was learning about the stars, and isn't there something comforting about there being this wide expanse out there? All that beauty and chaos and light and dark and it's billions and millions of light years away, so far that you measure it in light, and you can't even use yourself as a metric when measuring up against nebulae and supergiants and blackholes. And it makes you feel kinda small, and maybe a little scared, but suddenly those problems aren't so big, are they? We're just little people on a little rock next to a little star with our own little moon. We really won the lottery on chances, didn't we? And doesn't that make you want to look at the stars, take a breath, and make it to the next day?

Side note: I spent a good couple of hours scrolling through NASA's website and getting sidetracked (hence my earlier post on the moon landing in two years). Lowkey in love with NASA's website, ngl. So as an added treat, here are a few of my favorites that I came across!!

This will tell you when/where you can see the ISS! (idk if it works internationally, I just sort of focusing on where I was atm, ha ha!)

This lets you know about upcoming launches! (how I found out about Artemis!!)

This is a map that lets you see pictures of a bunch of cool stars/galaxies/exoplanets/nebulae! (This is where I grabbed all of the pretty space pictures!! There's so much more, too!!!)

This is a website that posts a fun picture of certain tech or something in the universe as well as an explanation below every day!! (I was shown this recently and I keeeeep checking.)

And, last but not least, this website tells you what picture the Hubble Telescope took on your birthday!! (Astrology signs are OUT, tell me what picture was taken the day of your birth!!)

There's also a (fictional) comic strip about the first woman on the moon! (I didn't get a chance to read it, but it's also found on a whole page dedicated to interactives and games which is absolutely where I found some of those other links)

Anyway, there's definitely more to find and would highly recommend just scrolling through their website to see what you can find!

We're gonna be okay, y'all. (っ´⌣`)ﾉ(´._.`)

[demiboy-dean-winchester]

i forgot to answer your answer to my ask (what??) but earth is literally the coolest planet ever, you are absolutely correct. of course, all planets are cool. but earth... no ones doing it like this bitch. was hot af at first, prov got hit by something (maybe the moon? idk, we're talking theories here), got some water in it, blah blah blah, BOOM.. life as we know it. thats crazy. against all odds. against the Horrors Of The Universe. she was just like: might fuck around and find out.

not to create planet rivalry here, but the others are like "heres some frozen water", "heres some water but its like very little" lol -> losers

i love earth and all earth-like exoplanets #earthdefender #earthlover

(i also like mars a lot) (if i sound too crazy... good)

YEA BIG UP MY GIRL EARTH❗️❗️❗️

very underrated planet despite everything she does for us!!!!! smh!!!! we are her children and we treat her like this!!!!! what!!!!

[blnk338]

god i love space!!!! but since we’re on the topic of it the schwarschield metric/ hole ,was the first time where i realized i actually needed math to understand it bc words werent enough

on another note so many people i know say space gives them existential dread but to me is like looking at a beautiful garden with different flora!!!

like look at Stephan’s quintet , the ring system of J1407b, the amount of interesting exo planets we have found, worlds we didnt think were possible!

like VHS 1256 b that seems to be a super jupiter? with the largest number of molecules methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water on it!!! an outer planet that is not even in the goldilocks zone!!

idk seeing space makes me feel like its worth to live life it in all its glory and once we die, we’ll return to the stars and sing among them lol

i actually went searching for this bc you ask put the biggest smile on my face

an exoplanet, a mega earth called HD 189733b was confirmed to have methine, steam, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT BC IT COULD MEAN LIFE!! one of the most fascinating things ever is that-- yes, those gases are on there, but you know where steam comes from? water. and you know what could produce the other gasses? life!! living creatures!! possible intelligence. only issue is that HD 189733b is 64 light years away, but it's not terribly far considering some of the other earth-like or mega earth's out there.

also speaking of math-- Neptune was discovered in 1846 (WHICH IS STILL WILD TO ME THAT IT WAS THAT LONG AGO) through mathematical calculations of its predicted position through the observed differences in the orbit pattern of Uranus. We literally found a fucking planet through MATH. THATS SO FUCKING COOL.

and on top of that, there might actually be a ninth local planet (sorry pluto :() based on a disturbance in other orbital patterns of other planets. basically, there's some kinda hole in the gravitational pulls of what i think was uranus and saturn; that it wouldn't make sense for those disturbances to happen unless a ninth planet was acting in the solar system!!

i also actually mentioned this in a comment but someone asked me for a cool space fact and I said: "everything sings, everything has meaning. from the smallest proton to Sirius B to the pillars of creation, nothing exists for no reason, everything is connected. perhaps its not my coolest, as i think that would take up far more space than the comment section will allow me, but its quite a hopeful one :)"

and i mean this with my heart; that's exactly what the hell the universe is; it's just one giant crescendo of harmonies smashing into each other and blasting into different directions, all being pulled by one great attractor-- that every little speck in the universe has meaning and value as we are all created by the very same stardust that the other planets are. if that isn't magical i don't know what is

[swagging-back-to]

so i just got a cool idea i kinda wanna explore and want some feedback on from people who know a bit about my oc verse...

so scinae (base species, extinct) came from a nearby star system and a super massive planet with many moons and rings. the planet, despite being so massive, has low gravity and low density.

im a sucker for fantasy based HEAVILY in real world science. i think its so much more fun to be able to apply real world knowledge to the plot information you already have to be able to form more theories and understand lore.

soooooo i was trying to figure out how such a large exoplanet would be able to have low gravity and density to this level. to the point most trees are several hundred feet tall, and most animals are close behind.

then it hit me. what if it was a shell planet, and the actual exoplanet had been formed by an even OLDER extinct society than scinae. it could have been a destroyed planet's core (which formed all the moons and rings) that was used as a base for the shell.

obviously the species that did this would have to be extremely advanced, and i think it isn't too far fetched seeing as scinae had their own star-sized architecture.

idk i just love the idea of ANCIENT societies so old that no one knows anything about them, or even that they exist at all. for reference, scinae society existed and ended several hundred MILLION years before the events of the story. these potential fore-runners would have existed BILLIONs of years before

"Dead End" review

Time to see where that robo bug leads Uzi and the gang.

Still love the Glitch theme

Ooo a beach epi…oh. Eh I bet Cougar Macdowall will make a video about such a thing soon XD

Is a robot buffering the equivalent of being unconscious?

Well this is a weird premise for a Jurassic Park sequel.

Looks like that lab isn’t abandoned.

So the exoplanet can harbor a bit of life on it, good to know.

After 5 episodes, we see Uzi going back to her “kill all humans” phase XD.

So there are numerous Js out there! That is scary.

Cyn sent N, V, and one of Js clones to the planet!?!?!

Uzi can generate her bat wings now, and it’s nice to see N try to help her when landing, just wish Uzi can be 1% less angsty from time to time.

Tessa seems a bit commanding here, especially when compared to how she was nice to J in the last episode.

Tessa playing with N’s hair XD. Looks like Uzi’s tail likes it to XD

Almost a Uzi X N moment is better than no Uzi X N moment

V’s “eye” is “twitching”, I wonder if she is also curious about this sentinel reintegration unit

Robot hillbillies!

Good to know how to kill those MD backup systems in case Uzi and the others have to fight another one again.

They had to tape the magnet on Tessa cause she isn’t a robot XD Also I guess this confirms that non corrupted drones in this world don’t follow the laws of robotics like harming humans.

N is too good for his own good. I know it’s a stressed baby, but I think since its operating on you, this would be the one time you can be a bit mean to it.

Of course Uzi’s first question about her mom would be about if she was cool or not. Though since she married a door obsessed dad, I think the answer is yes. XD

IDK how Tessa is going to save the others while working on what looks like a Word document.

Earth is gone. Uzi will be pissed that she couldn’t do it herself. Either way it’s nice to finally get some info about the singularity.

Promixa system, plat binary system, copper system. I guess in the future humanity is still uncreative with coming up with names for planets and places in space.

I do like the robot dinosaur designs, reminds me of the dinosaur machines from the Horizon series.

This episode IS trying to be like Jurassic Park. See that’s what you get for following that movie’s logic. Also why give her a sword when she isn’t going to use it to defend herself!

So robots can follow the laws of robotics, in this case don’t harm humans. I guess the drone’s Ais are too advance for that.

A solver just took over Uzi. The solvers ARE the singularity!

Aww not the baby.

More Uzi X N and V being jealous. What’s up with you Tessa?

Wait the eyes on that Sentinel are different, is that the singularity?

A proper hand holding!

Clever girl…. bot. Hey with all the Jurassic Park vibes in this episode, I’d be mad at myself for NOT making that joke.

Is the bug okay?

You guys have missiles, just shoot down the elevator and go down it. Sure it might then make it hard to find what floor to check but it’s worth it to survive.

A robot with a gun in its mouth!

V catching the bullet as it still spins is another Cliffside reference for those wondering

Now it’s using a sword. I wonder if the Sentinel is a fan of Beast Wars as he is acting a lot like Dinobot.

NO NOT V, DAMMIT THIS IS WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE ELEVATOR IN THE FIRST PLACE! Eh with the fact that J said there are clones, I bet we will get her back one day. Maybe we could get the original, having a crush on N one?

A pretty okay episode. Wished we had gotten to learn why those robot dinosaurs exist and maybe give V more screen time before her inevitable death. We should at least have gotten a N x V moment where maybe she reminds N about their realationship in the past. At least we got to learn a bit about the singularity as well as get more info on why the Murder Drones were sent to the planet and such.

What did you think about the episode?

[multiversetravelingjournalist]

Murder Drones AU Idea

As I have watched all six episodes of murder drones (and have watched other people's reactions to all six episodes of Murder Drones afterwards) and have seen that the next two episodes will be released in fall, I have been amusing myself with an AU of sorts to pass the time and play around with the setting and characters. who knows somewhere along the way I might just wreck everything. lol.

Without further ado, here is what I have so far:

There exists an OC, his surname is Cavendish. (he's a holdover from a fanfic I did. "Was that necessary?" over on AO3 *shameless self-plug. *) A sort of majority shareholder of JC Jenson. He is considered unusual for his way of treating drones in general. that is to say objectively better (I hope). Not willing to brutalize them, never throwing them away even if it was convenient, and entrusting them with tasks that make use of their autonomy (whatever those may be). he also is injured with burn scars from a house fire years ago. married with a daughter and baby son, the former two who are in comas from said house fire and are watched over by his estate's medical drones (I just find the idea of these little ones dressed in retro-nurse outfits while doing their work to be adorable).

The Elliot family - which Tessa comes from - are also a major shareholder in the company. them and the Cavendishes have been rivals for as long as anyone could remember. especially with their current members wildly differing views on drone treatment. Tessa James Elliot is technically the shareholder now that her parents have met a no doubt grisly end.

I imagine JC Jenson *in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE* to be like the British empire, If Britain at the time got hit with a meteor shower, rendering it uninhabitable. even today the interstellar company is still consolidating from its loss of the Earth HQ (which I like to call "JC Jenson Earth"). part of that consolidation is the security of assets on the other exoplanets. which includes the research on and against the program-entity that caused their cradle world's destruction.

As per the British Empire comparison, style, architecture, and aesthetics in general has taken inspiration from the era. mixed in along with cassette futurism, retro-futurism, space-western (more on that later), basically anything pre-20th century. (this is me expanding upon the spooky Victorian mansion and fashion in the flashbacks to be a sort of retro-wave movement). There are still advanced technology holograms, flying cars, etc. they are just blended in with everything else. perhaps this retro-futurism is popular with the upper-classes (aka The Rich).

Copper-9 still blows up. however, due to reasons explained below, the Disassembly Drones aren't sent in. This allows for the Drones to spread and develop their own civilizations on the surface. and boy are they diverse. aside from most of them replicating their human makers, there are also...

nomadic Mad Max-esque tribes that traverse a giant irradiated frozen lake. they are territorial and aggressive. fighting with harpoons, spears, IEDs, etc. dressed in scraps of bone, fabric, metal, and drone scraps. driving a myriad of vehicles that include snow mobiles and a half track.

Winter Cow-drones. IDK I just think the paradox of leather cowboy hats contrasting with the frozen wasteland looked cool. maybe they travel in caravans and are a more peaceful version of the above group.

Underground dwelling drone cannibals. Synthetic Morlocks if you will. Roaming and developing the underground facilities of the planet and occasionally coming to the surface to "collect new parts". (All this because I want there to be more Alices).

Earth is technically still inhabitable in some places. but is now an eldritch hell world with the presence of the Absolute Solver. reclamation was considered a lost cause.

That's most of the setting I came up with. there is also a bit of a story brewing among all this. When The Copper-9 incident happened, JC Jenson immediately knew the cause and wanted to deal with it as quickly as possible. However, Cavendish (told you we'd talk about him) the ever curious about drones' potential nipped that idea in the bud - much to everyone's frustration - instead wanting to observe the behaviors of them now that their masters are gone.

The other shareholders really wanted to send in the Disassembly Drones. after some back and forth, Cavendish volunteered to go there himself to monitor the situation. a sort of jab at how everyone views him and his sympathetic views. "I am giving you all the chance to finally be rid of me" is what he is telling them. begrudgingly, the board allows him and any companions of his choosing - with some restrictions - to accompany him.

Tessa is one of those restrictions, but Cavendish knew she wanted to go to the planet... for some reason. so he does some creative string-pulling to get her accepted as a technician. along with the Murder crew, the five head off for Copper-9. (I like to think that the lag time gives the drones plenty to develop into the societies that I described above). After that it's a day-to-day story of discovery and exploration with what action I can currently come up with. things come up like Cavendish being aware of what Absolute Solver is and such.

There is also this idea I just had about Cavendish naming his son as his stand-in shareholder. but seeing as he is like ten years old, appoints his personal drones as a sort of regent. basically, he all but appoints one of his drones as shareholder of a company made up of drone abusers. and everyone is aware of this. yet they are powerless to find fault in his logic and begrudgingly allow the regent to figuratively sit among them.

If you have read this far. first off thanks. second off, if you want to engage more on this sort of story/setting, hit me up, I have nothing better to do at the moment.

Till next time... ;).

[spontaneousglitterbees]

like i understand the scientific reality that we are classifying pluto as a separate thing from a planet, because the term 'planet' has been pretty amorphous historically and setting parameters in a definition is useful, but also. idk every time i see 'viva la pluto' i see tongue-in-cheek rebellion in support of an underdog and a collective 'we were only aware of you by your misidentification and don't want to lose you to relative obscurity' (exoplanets are cool but how many people know ceres, pallas, vesta...) instead of the kind of outright scientific denial you get with lake, flat-earthers. "viva la pluto" feels like a point of community about this cool thing where it's not even really fighting as much as theater that accomplishes its real goal implicitly (not forgetting about pluto) instead of the kind of misinformation that aims to manipulate and undermine trust in like, the idea of expertise.

[minustwofingers]

hi dee! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔﾉ♡

i am currently binging your ellie series entitled ‘exoplanet’ and i love love love LOVE. it so far. the plot is so cool and the relationship between reader and ellie is so refreshing to me idk exactly why but i love their dynamic sm. and i’m so excited to keep reading!

(p.s, i’d love to join your tag list for the series!)

HIIII thank you so so much!!!! and of course you can be on the tag list!!! p4 is (hopefully!) dropping this weekend so i’ll lyk 🫶🫶

[bisexualhobi]

I don’t understand why kwangya was not a mixture of SM’s existing lore and concepts like: exoplanet (kill cop burn car wear crop top lie, the Gotham city of SM), revefestival (that cult coven horror witch shit I cannot get enough of), neocity (specifically whatever weird shit was going on in Simon says), shinee (their Twilight Zone/twin peaks serve) . … like that weird stuff. Instead of the futuristic , superhero? marvel cinematic inspired-SMCU thing. I mean obviously I KNOW weird loona-esque lore stuff is not as appealing (even tho it is TO ME😭) as superhero, fighting, hacking, etc. stuff but……. pre-aespa sm artists had existing lores before they created kwangya with Aespa, not only is it much more interesting, but it just got abandoned 😭😭 … I mean I guess its harder to combine and make a storyline out of whatever they got going on before idk lmfao

kwangya is actually pretty cool but exoplanet will always be the og

59, 69 (nice), 88

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?

I have no idea, but probably something trying to resemble a bad pun.

.

69. a fun fact that you don’t know how you learned?

(Damn right) Uhh idk I usually remember where I learned my fun facts from. Here's one! We can theoretically tell the gas composition in an exoplanet's atmosphere by looking at what wavelenghts of light get absorbed passing through the planet's atmosphere as it passes in front of it's star, and I find that unexplainably cool and amazingly bizzarre.

88. your greatest wish?

I want to be okay with who I become and I think that's the most anyone can ask.
