#I missed posting celestial objects

[celestialdaily]

The celestial object of the day is IGR J17091-3624!

This black hole has in its accretion disk the fastest winds ever discovered, at 32 million km/h (20 million miles per hour) or 3% of the speed of light. And just like the black hole GRS 1915+105, it also has X-ray variability patterns or 'heartbeats.' While fainter than the ones of GRS 1915+105, IGR J17091's are faster!

hi!! saw your requests were open!! I dont have anything super specific in mind but an enemies to lovers plot with a lucifer x angel reader would be very cool!

Sure! I was originally going to write the whole thing and post it as a one-shot here, but I got overexcited with this idea and couldn't resist turning this into multiple short chapters and already giving you the first one (idk, let me know if you'd rather have the whole thing when it's done).

Seven Days Til Fall (Part 1)

Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 3 – Part 4 – Part 5 – Part 6 – Part 7

Read on AO3 (you do need to be logged in, though)

Words: 2,185

Pairing: Lucifer Morningstar x Angel!Reader

Summary: You're an angel sent on a divine mission to retrieve a powerful relic that has been stolen from Heaven. The orders are clear: gain an audience with the Devil, make deals with them if necessary, anything to return that object to the Silver City. But Hell is not quite what you expected, and neither is Lucifer.

Trigger warnings: None in this chapter (let me know if you think I should add some)

In the beginning, this assembly had seemed no different from the other monotonous celestial meetings the Divine Council liked to conduct. The session was strictly organised and full of unnecessary details, as per usual, golden light shone through the large windows, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the Silver City –routine, in short.

But now the Archangel Michael was calling your name, and you weren't so sure this would be your typical angelic meeting any more. Nobody ever called your name, it wasn't among those that mattered. Why was he calling your name?

Straightening your slouched back and wings, you answered with uncertainty. "Y-Yes?"

Michael offered a fake smile before returning to his bureaucratic demeanour, his hands joined only by the fingertips on the table.

"As you know, the Cup of Eternal Grace has been missing for quite some time now."

"The… Cup of Eternal Grace. Missing. Yes."

You had forgotten about that –your mind had surely deemed that to be another 'unnecessary detail' from one of the previous assemblies. But it was coming back to you now. The chalice, made of celestial metals and inlaid with precious stones had the power to bestow divine grace upon those who drank from it, offering visions, blessings, and, for humans, even limited immortality. And indeed, the artefact had been lost for a while.

Michael's eyes narrowed at your hesitation, but he continued.

"One of our emissaries on Earth had found a lead on the Cup tracing back to some… obscure cult. Unfortunately, by the time he got there, the humans had traded with a demon –they do like to do this for a reason that escapes me. We now have cause to believe the Cup is in Hell."

"I see," you said slowly after a short silence. You weren't sure why this had anything to do with you.

"Its presence in Hell could easily disrupt order or worse, be used to bargain with divine entities. It cannot stay there. We need someone to retrieve it," Michael replied as if annoyed to have to spell out the evidence for you.

Ah, now you understood.

"Me?"

"Yes. You."

That Heaven could have so foolishly lost an object that had the potential to tip the balance of the entire universe when in the wrong hands was already astonishing to you. But to entrust you with the task of going to Hell, assuredly face its ruler, and retrieve the Cup? That was hardly believable, and for an angel like you, who had to Believe, that said something. Why didn't Michael go himself?

"I… don't understand. I'm merely a Dominion, and the Morningstar is Your sibling, Your Grace."

"Yes, so that's your job."

That was Gabriel talking down to you as if you had just uttered the most unintelligent thing in front of the whole congregation.

"Besides, we're not going to waste our time when others have been designated for that kind of risky stuff. That would be…" He let out an inelegant snort-laugh.

"What Gabriel means," Uriel intervened in their usual soft-spoken voice, "is that angels among the higher ranks have other matters to attend to, but we cannot ask this of anyone with lesser powers. And well, it is your function to execute divine orders." Uriel paused, scrutinizing your expression. "Would we be making a mistake by putting our faith in you?"

You gulped.

"N-No."

"Good."

Plans had been made, and you were now approaching the gates of Hell. Protocol required that you banged a sort of gong by the entrance, and a dead mortal fused into the wall handed you a mallet. You had read somewhere once that the Damned made Hell what it was. At the time, you hadn't understood that meant this realm was literally made of the Damned. You winced and then, forcing the politeness out of your angelic mouth with a small "Thank you", you grabbed the tool.

The gong's echo made the other souls trapped around the gates scream and then, accompanying heavy steps, a deep voice growled.

"There's one at the door. At the gate of damnation. Is it thief, thug or–"

Squatterbloat, the gatekeeper suddenly froze in his speech when his gaze landed upon you. An angel, in Hell. Quite the unusual sight.

"Whore?"

"Peace be upon you, demon."

As you uttered them, you realised how ironic your words sounded. Squatterbloat chuckled.

"We don't accept holy brochures."

His sense of humour compensated for his dreadful looks, and you managed to stop your wings from shuddering.

"That is not why I'm here."

"Then state that business of yours."

"I seek an audience with your sovereign."

"Do you now, little cloud-hopper? I fear the Devil doesn't have time for your affairs."

You approached the gate, your wings spreading in a foolish attempt to appear menacing, your tone still polite but steely.

"I am an envoy of Heaven, and the matter is urgent. Even you cannot go against God's will, demon. Take me to your master."

Squatterbloat's eyes remained fixated on yours for an instant, and then, his keys jangled.

"Mmh. Right this way… If you dare."

"Oh, what a joyous day," Lucifer purred with a faint smile before relaxing on their throne with a sigh. "Can you feel it, Mazikeen? The innocence? So pure."

"Shall I ask for more guards to stand by Your side?"

"That will not be necessary. That little angel is no threat to Us."

You were certain the ruler of Hell had sensed your arrival –how could they not?– and your suspicions were immediately confirmed when you entered the room. Sitting regally on their throne, the Lightbringer did not even bat an eye as they eyed you and the heavenly glow that surrounded your body. If anything, they seemed… amused.

You had heard many stories about them –though most of those tales still spoke of a Samael– but you had never seen them. Imagery was forbidden in Heaven, of the Devil more than anyone else, and you had never been down to Earth to look at the various depictions humans had made of them either. Therefore, you took a moment to marvel at their appearance, so foreign and yet so familiar, and as your gaze roamed over their leathery wings, you wondered if that was what became of angels' wings after the Fall.

In fact, you wondered about so many things at once that you almost forgot your manners. But Mazikeen's insistent look quickly pulled you out of your reverie.

"Uh, yes. Apologies. Peace be upon You, Lucifer Morningstar," you greeted with a slight bow of your head. "And upon you, Mazikeen of the Lillim." It sounded even sillier than when you had said it to Squatterbloat.

Lucifer let out a small chuckle then and exchanged looks with Mazikeen. Then, as they turned to face you again, they smiled.

"It is unusual for Our Father to send His subjects down here. Almost an event, We might say. To what do We owe the pleasure?"

Lucifer's words dripped from their mouth like honey, and you weren't sure whether you found it more captivating or terrifying.

"Well?"

You shook your head and straightened your back some more to give yourself a semblance of presence, and undertook to explain why Michael had sent you here.

"Our dear brother has never liked getting his pristine hands dirty," Lucifer remarked once you were done.

They stood up, took a few slow steps in your direction with a thoughtful expression, and then stopped a mere yard away from you. The way they towered over you and the power they radiated felt overwhelming, and a shiver ran through the feathers of your wings.

"It is not a task fit for his rank," you said. And for a brief moment, you almost convinced yourself of what Gabriel had told you earlier today. Almost.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow as if seeing right through you and perfectly understanding the lack of conviction in your own words. A doubtful angel. Oh, this day could not get any better.

"Tell Us," they said, now pacing through their throne room. "What do We gain from helping you?"

The question startled you. What did the Devil gain from obeying God for once? Not another divine punishment, that's what.

"Excuse me?"

"We said, what do We gain from helping you with your task? We sure hope you did not come all the way to Our domain expecting a pretty smile to be sufficient to convince Us."

That… serpent. You clenched your jaw, resisting a sudden urge to speak from your heart while Lucifer kept on smirking devilishly.

Taking a deep breath, you chose to show yourself open to discussion instead.

"What is it You wish for, Lightbringer?"

Lucifer pretended to think about it, gazing into the vastness of their realm, and then spoke firmly.

"A single visit to the Silver City."

Your heart stopped.

"And open the gates for You to terrorise us or attack the Creator? Absolutely not."

"Then forget about the chalice."

"The Morningstar may believe angels are foolish, naive creatures, but I assure You I'm not that stupid."

Your defiance intrigued Lucifer, who gauged you for a second.

"No…" they eventually said. "Indeed. Which is why We are fairly certain you will know how to convince the Divine Council. Tell them We have no intentions of wreaking havoc in their home if that is what they are so worried about."

"Then why?" you asked somewhat harshly.

"You would not understand."

"Your Majesty, I–"

"There will be no need for further discussion, little angel. Either you manage to get Us what We want and We will do everything in Our power to help you, or the Cup of Eternal Grace remains in Hell. In which case, do not even bother coming back."

"They said what?"

"The Morningstar wishes to be able to visit the Silver City, Your Grace. Just once."

You were now standing in the bright room where the heavenly meeting that had got you sent to Hell had been held a few hours ago, alone in front of the five members of the Divine Council. You felt small, but not as small as you had felt in front of the ruler of Hell.

"Yes, we heard that part," Azrael replied rather angrily.

Somehow, their tone managed to make you feel as if you had already failed your mission, and it took a lot of self-persuasion to stand your ground. You were only repeating what you had been told, after all.

"They, uh…" You cleared your throat and tried again. "They said they had no intentions of attacking Heaven, and I think their words were genuine."

"Hello, this is Satan we're talking about," Gabriel said, exaggerating their diction as if you were mentally impaired.

"My sibling does not lie, Gabriel," Michael reminded him. The other Archangel sighed. "If you will excuse us, the Council needs to consider Lucifer's offer."

Taking the hint, you bowed and promptly left the room to find refuge in the closest chapel. Once there, you dropped to your knees for the Almighty and clasped your trembling hands so tight your knuckles turned white.

"Forgive me Father for I have sinned…"

You started repenting because you couldn't help but feel as if it would be your fault if Heaven ended up needing to make a deal with the Devil. You should have resisted and told Lucifer that they deserved their banishment from the Silver City and that never would they be welcome here again. You should have fought them if needed, though you would have been doomed –you would have died a martyr, and maybe for once your name would have mattered in Heaven. But you hadn't.

Deep down, you also prayed for the Council to give up on the Cup of Eternal Grace. Hell was a terrible place, and Lucifer a dangerous monster, your sworn enemy. You didn't want to go back to Hell. Not for a stupid goblet.

But as soon as you came out of the chapel, Gabriel was standing in front of you, his hands behind his back. As God's messenger, you knew he was here to pass on the Divine Council's decision.

"So. We have deliberated and we want you to carry on with the mission. You will go down to Hell every day, do whatever you need to do, and come back up every evening to report before compline until you find the Cup. Okay?"

You opened your mouth to answer but only managed a weak, strangled sound. Gabriel didn't give you enough time to speak anyway.

"Great!" he exclaimed as he slapped your shoulder. Then he pointed at the chapel. "Is this free?" Again, you tried to answer, but he was already gone.

Feeling an irrational anger rising inside, you decided you needed a break, some time alone spent in silence, not even in prayer. Angels, like other immortal beings, didn't need to sleep, but you wanted to forget about the world for a while. So you flew back to the Dominions' quarters to lay on your soft bed.

And there was evening, and there was morning –the first day.

You wrote this in part of a NSFW Alphabet post for Mike Cutter—any chance you’d write it as a fic/ficlet?

“Likes to watch you undress for him with a glass of bourbon”

Tagging: @kmc1989 @little-celestials @impossibleblizzardstudentposts @foxfables @siham15 

Companion piece to:

Better Friends - Mike tells you you need better friends.

What Are You Going To Do About It - Mike gets a little jealous.

The Fall - Mike makes a horrible mistake.

All I Want Is You - Mike reveals his feelings after he makes a mistake.

Made For Me (NSFW) - Mike makes love to you for the first time.

There’s something exhilarating about watching you undress, especially inside his office. It’s filthy, it’s deviant and it’s wrong, so fucking wrong because the two of you work together but in that moment Mike doesn’t care because your clothes are coming off and you are wearing the sexiest damn lingerie he’s every laid eyes on.

Black sheer that’s tailored to your form, thigh high stockings that make his dick twitch and those heels…

“Like what you see?” You ask and he takes a sip of bourbon in response.

You get off a little on his feigned indifference. The two of you have played a lot of games throughout your time together but this is the one you like the most because you get a kick out of breaking Mike’s façade and he knows it. You sink down onto your knees and his jaw clenches as you crawl across the floor towards him. He parts his legs and you come to settle between his thighs, your breasts pushing against the fabric of the black sheer material.

“Unzip me.” He tells you and you comply with the request, freeing his hard cock from the confines of his trousers.

His hand wraps around his dick, pumping it slowly as he lifts the glass and pours a little bourbon over your breasts. He watches it run down the curves as he jerks off, moaning at the sight.

“You don’t get me inside you tonight.” He tells you as he sets the glass down on his desk. His fingertips toy with the lace cups of your lingerie before he pulls each one of them down. He uses the head of his cock to trace over your nipple, smearing pre-cum over the pert bud and bringing it to attention. “You’re going to touch yourself while I fuck your tits. Any objections?”

You shake your head and Mike shifts forward to the edge of his seat.

“Alright baby, let’s get to work.”

The mystery of names (and their correct spelling). Part 1. Alina Starkov

So, I finally decided to make a post dedicated to the correct spelling of the Russian language in the Grisha Trilogy. I decided to start with names, and so that you don’t get bored, I decided to add a point about the meaning of names. So, let's start with the main character. And the correct spelling of her name in Russian is Alina Starkova, not Starkov. Why? Because Starkov is a masculine surname. For example, my surname is Kosareva, and my father’s surname is Kosarev. So, we've discussed the correct spelling, now let's move on to the meaning.

Alina (is abbreviated as Lina, Linka, Linochka, Linushka, Alinochka, Alinushka, Alya)

The name Alina has several meanings. Latin: The name may come from the Latin name Alina, meaning "small" or "gentle", or from the Germanic name Adelina, meaning "noble". Polish Meaning: In Polish, the name Alina means "bright", "brilliant" or "beautiful". Russian meaning: In Russian, the name Alina can also be interpreted as “bright” or “brilliant”, “beautiful and charming”, as well as “true”, “faithful” or “protector”.

Starkova

Our heroine’s surname is no less interesting, as it is one of the oldest Russian surnames. There are several versions of the origin of the surname: 1)Derivation from the name of the star The first version says that the Starkov surname comes from the name of a star or other celestial objects. In ancient times, the stars played an important role in people's lives, and some researchers argue that some families may have received the Starkov surname in honor of stellar phenomena or specific celestial events. 2) Origin from a profession or occupation Another version connects the Starkov surname with a person's profession or occupation. Since the Russian word for "starik" (old man) has been used throughout history to describe an elderly person, this may indicate that some ancestors of those with the Starkov surname may have been sages, elders, or engaged in other occupations that required wisdom and experience. 3) Origin from a geographical place There is also a version according to which the Starkov surname has geographical roots. It may be associated with the name of a specific place, for example, the name of a settlement or village. Over the course of time, the name of a place may have passed on as a surname to the population living in the area. 4) Origin from the name Some researchers propose a version according to which the Starkov surname arose from a short name associated with a patronymic. The Russian word "starik" (old man) could be a nickname or a short form of the name Stary, Starov, and so on. Gradually it could turn into a surname for subsequent generations. Regardless of the version of origin, the Starkov surname is usually associated with concepts of wisdom, experience and age. It can indicate a family's rich history, whether related to a star, profession, or geographic location. In the next part we will look at the Morozovs, don’t miss it😘

I am in the process of creating a post that will act as a centralized resource for the celestial same picverse. It will describe the basics of this little community, general guidelines, and a list of members. Ir is meant for newcomers to use as a guide. Here is the rough draft:

This post is a centralized resource for all celestial same picverse blogs to use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is not the be-all-end-all to the celestial same picverse. Things will likely change, and I probably won’t keep up with it all because I am only a single person. Furthermore, feel free to ignore any advice or best practices I suggest here. This is a fun tumblr community, not a workplace. There are no rules.

If any blogs in the community have a comment or objection to something in my posts here, feel free to contact me!

===

With that out of the way, what is the celestial same picverse? It is a collection of blogs that post the same picture of a celestial object every day and a series of “mortals” that interact with these celestial blogs. There is a lot of roleplaying.

Best practices: If you are going to post a picture of the same object everyday, you may want to set up a queue of pictures so you don’t forget to post a picture everyday. How to use the queue: https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us/articles/231481827-Queued-Posts 

Many blogs in this community use the following tag:

# celestial-same-picverse

What do y’all think? Any feedback? Did I miss anything?

Names of the Raksura

to whom it may concern!! i made a list of the raksuran names (as translated for us into english) used in the books of the raksura. i included the names of the characters that we meet and hear about as well as the names that can be extrapolated from the fact that courts appear to be called [name of queen] [name of her consort]. this list is almost certainly not complete; it's very likely i missed some characters and courts, so feel free to fill me in on your favorite glup shitto if i missed them <3

the list of names is given in full at the end of the post. first, some stats!

i recorded 174 unique names for 197 raksura:

153 of these names were used by only one character

19 of the names were used for two characters (in most cases these are coincidental (e.g., two people named after the same thing in nature) rather than namesakes (i.e., one person named after another person))

2 names were used for three characters (Rain and Streak you are so important. parents love you)

i then categorized the unique names by word class (noun, verb, or adjective). of course, many of these words can be in multiple classes, so i went with what seemed to me to be the primary meaning (for example, Venture is both a noun and a verb, but its noun meaning seems slightly more fundamental; i think it came first etymologically). colors can be nouns or adjectives, but i kept them all as adjectives unless they were named after an object, like the indigo plant, in which case i called them nouns.

of the 174 unique names:

132 are primarily nouns

25 are primarily verbs

17 are primarily adjectives

of the 132 nouns:

111 are found in nature

11 are made/constructed objects

10 are abstract

the 111 nouns found in nature break down further by category:

animal, vegetable, mineral

fire, water, weather

celestial features

geographic features (including bodies of water)

light, time (i suppose these two could have fallen under "abstract" instead of "found in nature" but i felt like putting them here)

three names i wasn't sure how to classify (Horizon, Dust, Speckle)

i could have broken these down differently. for instance, i've currently got "animal (component)" as a subcategory of animal, but most of those names are also materials that the arbora might use in their crafts (Shell, Bone, Feather, Horn, Ivory). so i could have had a "material" category that would have also contained most of the minerals as well as some of the "plant (component)" names. but i liked keeping the minerals separate to make it more obvious that over half of them are queens.

or i could have had an "edible" category that would have contained some of the "plant (component)" and "plant (exemplar)" names as well as some of the water names and, perhaps, Salt. but much of their diet is meat, and other than Heart (which could refer to a plant part instead of an animal part!), none of their names are meat-related, which to me suggests "edible" may not be a relevant category.

i could have put all the bodies of water in the "geographic features" category into the "water" category, but then i wouldn't have known what to do with Vale and Reef. also i put Amber as a plant component and Pearl as a mineral, when maybe by this logic Pearl should be an animal component?? is it Tear as in the verb (rhymes with tare) or as in the noun (rhymes with tier)? (i went with the verb, since, as far as i can tell, raksura do not cry.) i put Umber in the mineral category even though technically it's a soil which is probably a different thing, but if we think of it as a mineral/stone/metal/soil category, it works. etc., etc. so it's all a lil bit arbitrary.

of the 25 verbs:

7 describe ways to move from one place to another

5 describe ways to act on an object

4 concern light/vision

2 concern sound

2 concern fire

2 concern plants

3 i didn't know how to classify

of the 17 adjectives:

5 describe personality traits

5 describe color (interestingly, these do not necessarily correspond to the color of the character's scales; iirc, Cerise has blue scales but "cerise" means "cherry red")

5 describe physical attributes other than color

2 i didn't know how to classify

for each character, i also recorded what type of raksura they are (Aeriat or Arbora) and their caste (for the Arbora: hunter, soldier, teacher, mentor; for the Aeriat: warrior, queen, consort). there are a few patterns here:

all the characters named after nouns found in nature that i classified as fire, water, weather, and time were Aeriat.

interestingly, all nouns having to do with darkness, which fell in either the light (Shadow (x2), Shade) or time (Dusk, Night, Twilight) categories, were for consorts specifically, possibly because of their matte black scales? even Bitter Starshell, which is a flower, may be related, as it is a flower that opens only at night.

geographical features were more likely to be names for Aeriat (7 Aeriat, 1 Arbora), as were minerals (23:4) and celestial objects (6:1).

plant components were more likely to be names for Arbora (12:5), while specific types of plants were more likely to be for Aeriat (13:6).

verbs for acting on objects were more likely to be names for Arbora (4:1).

out of 19 total characters with water-related names (all 6 in the water category as well as 8 in the weather and and 5 in the geographical features categories), 18 of them are Aeriat. Rill, a female Arbora, is the only exception.

there are more than twice as many Aeriat in my database as Arbora (133 Aeriat, 61 Arbora, and 3 additional characters for whom this information isn't provided), so the categories that appear to be more Aeriat-heavy could just be a function of there being more Aeriat overall. if, to make the Arbora more directly comparable to the Aeriat, we were to extrapolate 61 more Arbora and assign them to categories in the same proportion as the Arbora currently in the database (which would still give us more Aeriat than Arbora, but it'd be closer, 133:122), we'd double the Arbora in each category, which would make the apparent Aeriat lead in the plant (exemplar) category disappear (it would now be 13 Aeriat to 12 Arbora instead of 13:6). the categories that have no Arbora at all seem slightly more likely to be specifically reserved for Aeriat, though the N was small in some of these so it's hard to say for sure.

i also recorded female/male, which imo is a strange distinction for this species to have, but that's a story for another day. the database contains 102 female characters, 87 male characters, and 8 for which this information wasn't given.

more likely to be names for female characters: adjectives (12F:6M), abstract nouns (9F:3M), plant (component) nouns (10F:6M, plus 1 unknown), plant (exemplar) nouns (13F: 6M), minerals (17F:10M; this is largely because of how commonly queens are named after minerals)

more likely to be names for male characters: light-related nouns (2F:6M, plus 1 unknown), time nouns (2F:5M)

while Aeriat/Arbora and F/M are assigned at birth, you can't tell if an Aeriat is going to be a warrior or a royal until they're older, though if a royal clutch is single-gender, it's more likely to contain warriors than a mixed-gender royal clutch. if that's the case, we might expect to see more stereotypically queenly (e.g., mineral) and consort-y (e.g., darkness) names in mixed-gender royal clutches than in single-gender ones, but i don't know enough about the clutchmates of the named characters to say whether that holds up.

mentors may be expected to have dignified names, but apparently you can't tell if an Arbora has mentor abilities until they're at least 10. it sounds like an Arbora's name, if it's too silly for a mentor, might be changed when they present as a mentor, assuming they're still a child (about Fluff, it's said that his powers presented when he was already out of the nurseries, at which point it was too late to change his name).

in any case i didn't do a stats breakdown by Arbora caste, since for the most part these are chosen by the person in adulthood and so (theoretically) are unlikely to correlate with the name given in infancy. but i have listed the caste for each Arbora at the end of the post.

now for the full list!! given twice, once organized by word category first, then type of raksura within each word category, and the second time organized the other way around.

(new Solarballs episode spoilers)

(Gotta Yap my opinion😭)

DANG THIS EPISODE IS 10 MINUTES LONG.. But anyway I love this episode! But for me though it's kinda..not that bad I guess because this episode has so much potential but it looks like it doesn't have good life to it for me.

BUT STILL I love this one! Still worth it for that 2 weeks wait.

Now look at these clown couples manipulating crap and misunderstanding stuff😭

(Insert Oberon in the background)

BUT THIS EPISODE IS SO SHOCKING.

I like how Titan finally accept that Earth changed and now protected him as he finally understand. This is kinda shocking if you ask as me.

Though Europa in the background when the others started protecting Earth at the second attack is funny asf LOOK AT HER

I LOVE THIS TRIO LOOK AT THEM❤

BLUD what are these 2 going on😭 these 2 finally be fighting meanwhile with Ganymede being stupid asf.

But to be honest am more concerned and disappointed that my expectations aren't here. Like the gas giants still went missing and we haven't seen the others for a long time. Though am expecting the sun too😞.

This episode had a big drama here yet a bit of life it's so easy of how it ended so probably why I don't like the episode that much but yeah it's still good.

But at least Pluto and Charon are back to help! They save the day! They even managed to convinced every other moons of how all of them are already equal yet different. (Well this sound stupid but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)

AWWW LOOK AT SATURN'S MOONS.. I hope to see more of them in the future! I heard the creator of SB is planning to put more characters outside of the solar system!

Am very excited REALLY.

And Neptunes moons though THEY'RE SO CUTE. Am happy it's not that big for the war zone to be that horrifying for them. they don't understand because they're just children.

AND I JUST LIKE EARTH AND MOONS FRIENDSHIP. they're brothers it's canon/hj

And LMAO EARTH CALLING MOON MOM?

But there's more pictures of what am going to say but tumblr limits the pictures of the new episode☹️ I won't blame them tbh it's a 10 minute episode IT'S SO LONG. yet I love it!

But am going to say my words for the other pictures of my opinion.

One. The episode of the moon revolution is done so easily. I was expecting it to be done in another way.

Two. I was expecting the drama to end but no there's more drama going on. There's a sequel and Ganymede is still planning to do something MORE STUPIDLY EVIL like what beef Ganymede and Europa had? WHAT??

Three. Even if the gas giants or the others aren't here at least Ceres came back! WOOO HE'S BACK more screen time for Ceres I guess.

Am excited to other new episodes for Solarballs now since the moon revolution ended. I guess they will go back to the education thing or other stuff. But am more excited for new future episodes too! Even the other celestial objects episode like outside of the solar system! THAT is the one am excited about after seeing the SB communication post on YouTube.

So this was a fun ep I love it.

Mushroom Vision

I am going to attempt explaining how there is an entire vast segment of environmental storytelling in Elden Ring that is going unremarked upon. It isn't just about mushrooms. But that's where I first took notice, so that's where I will start in this post.

The above is the view from a mushroom on the entry ramp to Raya Lucaria, just above where the merchant is sitting. This was maybe my 3rd or 4th random stop back when I decided to appreciate the scenery from the point of view of the mushroom (for fun!). It is an example of perfect framing for elements in the far distance:

The North Liurnia Minor Erdtree

The Church of Vows

The Erdtree

But really, it's "perfect" framing of only the Erdtrees - the Church of Vows is blocked from view and hidden by a stone pillar with a quatrefoil symbol on it. This is a noticeable trend at many mushroom spots - it would be a great view...except there is a nearby tree or a piece of stone exactly in front of one element in the far distance. The perspectives seen from these mushrooms are missing the full picture. Rotating to the left on top of the same mushroom, there is also a perfectly clear view of the Bellum Gate in front of Mt. Gelmir.

Setting the scene a bit more, the ramp is heavily forested, populated by 4 packs of wolves (numbering 3, 3, 3, and 5 including the white wolf in the group lowest down the ramp), then the Isolated Merchant, a Trina's Lily, a corpse with 2 strips of white flesh, and right inside the impassible gate is a Bloodhound Knight guarding a corpse holding Celestial Dew. The sealed entry to the ramp is looking directly towards the Cathedral of Manus Celes.

Also, there is a second mushroom on the bridge which has a view of the Church of Vows restored, but instead this one is blocked from viewing Mt. Gelmir. The Church of Vows is directly aligned with Morgott/Mohg's Divine Tower. This mushroom is between the 2nd and 3rd wolf pack.

Paying attention to the mushrooms also calls attention to something else interesting. There are 4 stone viewing spots built into the ramp face - the two middle ones occurring at those two mushroom spots, one at the top of the ramp just before the 1st wolf pack, and one at the bottom of the ramp between the merchant and the bloodhound knight.

The lowest of these viewing points has a clear view at the Erdtree (nearest to the gate). Also from this vantage point the Liurnia North Minor Erdtree is in alignment with the withered Minor Erdtree in the Altus Plateau:

The highest viewing point near the top of the ramp has views of Mt. Gelmir, Bellum highway Gate, and the Wandering Mausoleums:

In the photos of the first mushroom (lower ramp) I placed more emphasis on the Erdtrees, as this is the view obtained by looking directly at the minor Erdtree. See below as rotated to face the pillar directly, which corrects for peripheral vision picking up certain distant objects that do not actually have direct sightline to the mushroom.

And like at the upper ramp mushroom, the transparency of the Erdtree is accounted for in what is visible from this vantage point. From the corrected viewpoint Rykard's Divine Tower is also completely obscured by the pillar and Morgott/Mohg's Divine Tower is not only behind the Erdtree, but also behind a conveniently placed rock spear. Rotating to the right, a clear view of Liurnia Divine Tower and just the top of the Isolated Divine Tower. Caelid Divine Tower is obscured by the Carian Study Hall, and Limgrave Divine Tower is exactly behind the steeple of a pillar.

So what does it matter exactly, that landmarks are blocked from certain locations? Good question! I am trying to understand this! It seems to me quite obvious from the framing of this one small corner of the map that care is being taken to craft these vistas in a certain way. Perhaps travelling up the ramp is telling a story in sequence. Perhaps there is one story told from the balcony spots while a second lens is placed on the story from the mushroom spots.

Overall, what I see are pieces of an environmental puzzle deliberately crafted at hundreds of locations. Just from mushrooms alone. But there is no reason to stop at mushrooms - I know that some people are already taking interest in the locations of Trina's Lilies and Miquella's Lilies, but has any attempt been made to really consider what is visible (or not visible) from their locations? The things that NPC's can see from their vantage points, the directions that corpses are looking and the items they hold, the view of the divine towers from rebirth monuments (previously discussed in a different post) all seem to be carefully planned. Rowa bushes are very frequently found in pairs, and at almost every location I've checked so far across Limgrave there will be something clearly visible from one bush that is just barely out of sight from the other.

For anyone wondering whether Elden Ring actually innovated on anything compared to Dark Souls? It's this. Literally - it's the depth of environmental storytelling.

✰ Catgender - Xenogender Bookshelf ✰

Catgender is a Xenogender that relates to cats! Its great for Alterhumans/Therians/otherkin who have a catkin and it also relates to their gender, and also great for neurodivergent people who have trouble talking about their gender! Some great neopronouns for pretty much any catgender are:

✰ Meow/meowself ✰ Purr/Purrself ✰ Paw/Pawself ✰ Feline/Felineself ✰ Whisker/Whiskerself ✰ Claw/Clawself ✰ Mew/Purr/Purrs/Mewself ✰ Nya/Nyaself ✰ Mew/Mewself

Catgender was coined in 2014, and the original flag was made by DeviantArt user PN-TME in 2019. The only source I could find on the original coiner of Catgender is this one link to a site about Catgender:

https://catgender.carrd.co

The mainstream flag that I see mostly everywhere is this flag:

Which in the carrd about cat-gender, it is said that the creator of the flag is Kai or @HUENlNGWAY on twitter. However I cannot confirm this.

There are other Catgender flags! Which were made to be more inclusive! Pawprint Design by EggHeggley;

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ The Diversity with Catgender ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

This is the main reason I made this post, because the fun thing with Catgender [and many other genders like it that are broad] is that there are many different versions of it, combining multiple genders together to make different ones. I find this very interesting mostly for the fact that you can start to see a trend with the broader animal-themed genders and the categories in it.

Another interesting pattern when looking at cattic/catgenders is that many people have the same catgender but with different flags!

I tried my best to put as many as I could find, I am using Pintrest, Tumblr, Tiktok and Instagram to find these flags + genders! Everyone's tags include which platform they are from!

✰If I am missing any, feel free to let me know!! ✰

Here is a list of as many of the cat-genders/Cattics I could find that may be useful to those who identify with cat gender!

MAIN SOLARBALLS AU - peace

everyone is peaceful (as much as they can, anyways) and is updated every time there is a new episode, so it constantly changes.

most of the time, planets are in peace and there no murdering (planet x still lurks) basically just the canon solarballs

corruption/infection au - jupiter and venus are dead

basically something happens (havent decided what) earth becomes all glitchy and infects the sun and luna. sun is in a coma or sumthing IDK MAN

earth and luna split up to go after the others, venus and jupiter attempt to cover the others as they run, resulting in their deaths. both cores are kept. mars is hiding in the asteroid belt and neptune is missing, while the others are grouped and running. earthlings are somehow fine, possibly infected as well. earth has to stay near the sun while luna searches the solar system to murder more planets i guess

MAIN SOLARHUMANS AU - average solarhumans au

basically my main solarballs au but theyre 'humans'

theyre not REALLY humans, but more of celestial bodies on a bigger version of earth

each star has their own neighborhood called 'solar systems', consisting of several planets, moons, and other stuff

things like kuiper belt and asteroid belt/oort cloud are like streets or landmarks

gravity still exists, but its warped! each celestial body has their own gravity, that they can use like its telekinesis- basically they could let go of something and let it float around them.

moons also have this 6th sense of their 'orbit' around their planets' telekinesis/gravity- they typically live with their planet too. they can float in their planet gravity or use it as a gravity boost

blackholes DO exist but are required to wear metal armbands that allow them to touch/exist without sucking up everything.

most everyday things like restaurants or houses are planet-sized, although there are occasionally accomodations for stars- usually none for moons, though.

will update later!! i also have other aus- PLEASE ASK ABOUT THEM!! <3

Solaris-3 and the Solar System

Hey, Rovers!

Throughout the game, I’ve noticed some mentions of the solar system of Wuwa, and I wanted to gather it all together along with some theories I have about it. In this first part, I will gather all the references to space I can find, and later make some theories in Part Two, so let’s get to it shall we? But first a disclaimer, I do not own any of the wuwa graphics shown throughout this post, kuro games does. Additionally, this is all speculative work, and I tend to overanalyze things, so take all this knowledge with a grain of salt!

Ch. 1: The References

First, let’s go through all of the mentions, or things I think have to do with space throughout the game.

The Goddesses Halo: Although probably purely aesthetic, the goddess’s halo looks to me like a solar system. This halo comprises two sets of co-orbital configured astronomical objects (objects that share the same gravitational path or orbit), and that’s about it. There is suspiciously a lack of central star, unless you count the Goddess as it, along with it seeming to be incomplete. We know that Sol-3 is the third planet away from the Sun, and this model halo only goes two out, so if it is accurate, it isn’t complete. This is also assuming that the Goddess is from the same Solar System or Universe as Sol-3 is.

(Also I took the time to look at the constellations found in the goddesses' hair. And as far as I can tell there is no EXACT match to any constellations from our world. These are probably also an aesthetic detail, drawn from an artist’s mind, but I wanted to mention them anyway.)

The Diary: On this Diary, acquired during the Omnious Star main quest, there seems to be a ringed planet, possibly surrounded by six moons or astronomical objects.

Lunite: This currency seems to be a planet surrounded by a ring, a moon, and two to four stars. In its description, we learn that Sol-3’s moon was shattered a long time ago and is merely a mirage, like how the stars we see in the sky are long dead.

Lunite Purchasing Menu and Animation: In the images we see above, we can see an artistic rendition or model of … something I suppose. There’s a central gold planet or perhaps a core of a planet, surrounded by the phases of the moon, and another moon? The white crescent could also be a moon, or a planet itself. Surrounding this white part there’s another co-orbital configuration path with a white (or gold in one image) and blue planet and four shining stars. There are also some constellations made up of stars, moons, and suns, which are similar to constellations in our world but not exact.

The Lunite Subscription Passes also have a similar image on them, along with the words Month Card, 15, or 7. The central astronomical object changes between them. They also mention a Celestial Observatory in their description.

Astrite: A star-shaped object with a rather ethereal description

Tacet Cores: Multiple of the cores for the tacet discords are star-shaped.

Star Flakes: Star-shaped food rather reminiscent of the shape of tacet fields, cores, and marks. Don’t forget to make a wish after eating some.

The Icefield Honor Medal: Purely Speculative, but to me there looks to be once again, four stars on it.

There are also some more tacet discord/echo items that are star-shaped, that I didn’t want to gather together. But yeah that’s it for part 1. If there’s anything I missed let me know and I’ll make sure to add it! Anyways, this is me signing out! Toodles!

[crypt-void]

A fellow crowhearted!!!!

I'd love to know about your hearthomes!! :3 /nf

Aaa! Hello!

I'm usually pretty bad about writing about them, but I can try XD

The first one has to do with my dog theriotype. It's very post-apocalyptic. There aren't many humans left. It's lush and green, and most cities are flooded. The water usually isn't safe, though, and generally prompts a feeling of great unease. It's usually very hot and sunny. When it does rain, it's something worth celebrating. The TVs always play static, and strange creatures make their way out of the water regularly. There's something wrong with me here, too. It's where the whole radioactive dog part comes in. I've got this weird green tint, and I'm always parched. I look almost humanoid. Like a dog slowly morphing into a person. Usually, I'm walking through cities, either making dens or searching for something. There's also usually music everywhere, I constantly found different CDs or cassette mixtapes I'd listen to. For all its dangers, this world is also very beautiful. I usually see this world in memories or very familiar feelings

Fallout 4, particularly Far Harbor, is another one! I'm not sure what it is about the stinking island that gets me feeling such a deep longing, but it does. I have personal beef with any beast that makes it's way out of the fog, but still, home is home. It physically pained me to finish the dlc, I miss running around my home :/

Then there's Minecraft!

Specifically, it's the version that I and some friends have created over the span of 4 years now. It's got a really cool God system starting with the Multiverse who made the Goddess of life Melifera, as well as her counterpart, the God of death, Trigona. Then, it trickles down to things like the young Gods (such as Twine, God of architecture, and trade). And then there's even demigods, which are usually just celestial objects (the moon, the sun, a meteorite). There's also the deep history of all the inhabitants that make up the world. The sugargliders slowly dying out, the Nether hierarchy (and how it was destroyed), the skeleton hordes, the sniffers, etc.

While we made the server(s) as a place to just make a story, the entire world is based around a feeling of home and security. The overall realm is called Para Sanar, and there are two separate worlds that tell its history in different parts of time. There's also a bunch of other worlds we've made that also connect to it, though, in their own unique web.

Anyways, it's just become a very big second home to me in how much of a role it's played in my life. Anytime I play a new world, I find myself connecting it to Para Sanar, whether intentionally or not.

Alright, I'm done yapping. Hopefully, any of this made sense 😭

Got around to finally write Isaac Shepard's bio (don't have mods yet but hopefully will soon get some in game shots) but here he is! Hope Joel Kinnaman doesn't get too annoyed at me borrowing his face but he looks exactly how I pictured Isaac. Also submitting this for @theshepcollective ❤️

Isaac Shepard

Background: Spacer / War Hero

Isaac Shepard was born in 2153 on the SSV New Delhi cruiser, where both his parents were assigned as executive officers. 

Great great grandson of the astronaut Alan Shepard, his whole family has been involved in the military and space exploration since. Isaac spends his childhood following his parents from space station to spaceship, loving the idea of exploring the great unknown still out there and making a real difference. 

His parents unfortunately pass away in 2167 in a tragic accident: a rogue celestial object hits their transport shuttle and the whole crew perishes. 

His maternal grandparents, Arthur and Sylvia, take him in on the colony of Cyrene, but young Isaac is struggling, and feels trapped on the small colony. 

He starts running with some bad crowds and using drugs to cope with his grief, until he is arrested for possession and minor theft when he is 16. He spends a year in juvie and decides to get himself straight once out: he attends his missing exams and manages to enlist with the Alliance at 19. He proves himself quickly on various posts, showing a unique combination of street smarts, strategy and physical skills (aside from biotics with which he struggles with)  and even succeeds in getting an Engineering degree.

He quickly ascends the ranks and eventually gets to the level of Lieutenant. In 2176, the Skyllian Blitz happens, a major assault led by pirates, slavers and batarian warlords on the colony of Elysium. Here, along with his squad, he manages to rally the colonists against the batarian attack, and when enemy forces manage to break through the colony's defences, Shepard manages to single-handedly hold them off and seal the breach, leading to the Alliance forces winning the battle. 

He gets awarded the Star of Terra and after leading a few successful operations against slavers in the Terminus systems, in 2183 he gets assigned as Commander for the SSV Normandy under Captain Anderson.

Alignment: Paragade (do no harm take no shit)

Class: Soldier (but with Kaidan's help eventually manages to be more proficient with biotics)

Lovers: Reyes Vidal in 2183, then Kaidan Alenko, some other flings along the way

Best Friends: Joker, Garrus, Miranda

main oc universe lore…. ohhh boy 🤤🤤

it’s basically just gonna be me yapping about regions and main characters and stuff like that so BE WARNED!! /silly

if you wanna make an oc for this world thing PLEASE DO!! trust me it’s very coolio in my little world 🥺🥺 pleas make ocs it makes me happy I’ll fit them in lore trust 😋 just tag me in a post with your character

anyways yap session begins below

So basically there’s this island (idk if it’s an island, it’s probably gonna be though) that is separated into five regions

these five regions are ruled by five leaders (I’ll make a specific name for a “leader”, i still haven’t planned everything out yet) and these leaders are based off of the 5 senses. Touch, Smell, Taste, Sight, and Sound. An object who lives in these regions is called a resident or resider.

Each leader is assigned a different portion of the island, where each portion is different (Ex. one is a snowy tundra while another is a volcanic area)

The five leaders are listed below, I didn’t give them their specific senses yet 😓

Annika (Called: Dragon Horn)

Annika is the leader of a volcanic place, with the element of fire

Pronouns: She / Her

Inki (Called: Fountian Pen)

(before you annoy me yes i know it’s my object sona but I’m too tired to change it so it STAYS)

Inki is the leader of a forest, with the “element” of the sun / the moon

Pronouns: She / They

Sunny (Called: Gelly Roll Pen / Gel Pen)

Sunny is the leader of the ocean, (just one pretty big ocean near the forest region, they lead some lakes too) with the element of water

Pronouns: Zey are genderfluid so it fluctuates (She / He / They / Zey / Xem)

Euthalia (Called: Wisteria) (might change the actual name)

Euthalia is the leader of a place with lots of flowering trees and plants (that is where a village resides) with the element of nature

Pronouns: They / Them

Eira (Called: Fur Headband)

Eira is the leader of a snowy tundra with the element of ice / snow. They sadly went missing at one point, and no one can locate it.

Pronouns: They / It

so yeah, those are the five main leaders, they are referred to by the name it says after “Called:” by residents

Their job is basically to make sure everyone living in their ruled areas are protected, have basic needs, and are at peace with the rest of the island

All of these regions interact with one another, whether it be for trading, business, etc.

The two other senses, Telepathy and Intuition, are celestial beings, with no physical form or name

Every month or so all of the leaders meet up at the center of the island and basically have a gathering from warrior cats (they talk about how each region is doing and if there are any problems)

During this little gathering thingie they are able to make contact with the two other beings watching the island (this is extremely hard for any ordinary resident to do, but not impossible)

and yeah!! that’s basically the foundation lore for this thingie 🫡🫡
