I think it's wild that there's only one woman who is an active cosmonaut right now. Russians have flown two women to the ISS since its inception. The most recent, Anna Kikina, flew in 2022, some seven years after Yelena Serova's flight.

🖤💙💚💜

So uh I know imma nearly a month late and it’s 4/22 so here have all my numbers 4 as of now!! ❤️💙💚💜

Emily is of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway ( I mainly based this concept off Of Wildnorwester ver of her, she’s their version of an express engine/passenger devices,) A bossy yet well meaning girlboss who’s best friends with fellow W&S Lily and Neil and tries to stop the boys (mainly Adam from arguing with Colin).

OG Express coming through dude himself!!

I adore Stuart with all my heart and soul, he got a slight redesign, I based him way too much on Human Mikey’s (mainly Rise and KiKina on Twitter)designs cause their personality and roles are quite fitting since in this au it’s plays quite differently (ex. He’s got cracks to represent his accident with the trucks though the way it happened changed ex)

U can tell I’m obsessed with Rise Donatello so I had to based a character on his personality (though I based too many haha slightly inspired by glowynatior on Twitter) off of that + plus the anime trope of a mad scientist character plus meme time baby!!

So yeah hope y’all enjoyed these lovely folks and Rise Baby Rise Baby! ✨✌️

Adventurin's a risky business

What drew you to it?

Points in the journey between Satasha, Tam Tara, and Copperbell.

Written for FFXIV Swap.

"For Glory!"

"Honor!"

"And the many songs of Bards!"

Daca'li watched as the trio made a toast with one brow raised. The words seemed familiar to them. Almost as though they had said them before. He half imagined they said such at nearly every bar.

Dolorous Bear was grinning in his mug as he drank and was still grinning as he turned to face Daca'li. "You do not wish to join our toast, sir?"

"It's Daca'li." Daca'li corrected quickly, he hoped that his armor successfully hid the flush climbing up his neck. "You can just call me Daca'li"

The other two were smiling at him. For what reason, Daca'li couldn't be sure.

"I'm E'manafa." She was half done with her drink. A feat that would have been more impressive were he not to know the quality of ale they could afford.

"You may call me Kikina," She was working on her drink small sip by small sip. Which was good for her sobriety, Daca'li guessed, but not quite helpful when it came to the taste.

"And I," Their leader put his cup down carefully yet sturdily before proclaiming. "am Dolorous Bear. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Kikina and E'manafa agreed heartily with him at this.

"I think we would all like to thank you for joining us for drinks too," E'manafa added before taking another drink.

"Now let us have another toast." Dolorous Bear chimed in, raising his own near-empty glass.

Daca'li smiled half-heartedly, nodded, and joined the group in the new toast. This one was much more quiet. Which was for the best as Daca'li had noticed Baderon sparing them occasional glances. Perhaps the volume wasn't welcome.

---

Edda was barely touching her tea. Which, he supposed, was understandable given the circumstances.

Daca'li wasn't sure why he had invited her. He couldn't say he knew the young woman. They had never spoken before. Though he had overheard her being yelled at by her friends outside Satasha.

An uncomfortable memory given what had happened to the group. And perhaps why he couldn't bring himself to leave the young woman alone. If nothing else, he hoped some tea and a listening ear would help her.

Daca'li took a drink from his own cup before he spoke up, voice gentle. "Do you have any plans for where you'll go next?"

She blinked owlishly at him, seemingly startled by the sound of his voice.

"I... I'm not sure. I was thinking of going back home and restarting my training." Edda answered after a moment of thought.

Daca'li leaned back in his chair as he listened to her continue to speak. Her words were slow but steady. They were mostly of Avere, the lad who had been yelling at her and apparently, her intended. The two apparently had many plans for their future together. Or at least she did. And they all involved seeing the world together as adventurers.

He didn't know quite what to say to any of it. He couldn't exactly share his opinions of Avere. That would not be helpful. At all. Nor would more condolences, though he doubted she received any from her teammates.

He tried to think of what he would say to one of his nieces in such a situation. Only to promptly wish to any divinity that was listening that they would never have to.

Daca'li held back a sigh. He felt he really should help the lass. If not as a fellow adventurer then as one of her elders of sorts.

"Edda," He started once she had finished speaking. "If there is something I can do to help, please let me know."

----

"Well, Daca'li. Do you think you'll be taking them up on that offer?"

Daca'li paused looking from the older elezen Isildaure to his grandaughter Alianne and then back again. Isildaure seemed to be genuinely curious about the whole thing. For a mercy, it sounded like a rather supportive curiosity.

If Alianne shared her grandfather's interest, she wasn't sharing it. Instead, she seemed to be stuck on whether or not she should make some displeasure with his bluntness obvious.

Daca'li really should have seen this coming, or so he was telling himself, when he mentioned that he was offered an interview for a group. He had not told them the name.

Or even a little further back when he ran into them at the Quicksand. He had just been leaving after asking Momodi about the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. They were entering to speak to Momodi for their own reasons. There was an invite for drinks and talk. It seemed like a good idea at the time to agree.

If he were honest with the two of them and himself, he would say he wasn't entirely sure. This was the first time he had even heard about the group. Momodi said they were to be trusted. That their goals were honorable ones. And there was the chance that they could help him with his sudden headaches and the visions that came with them.

"I think I'll wait until I've met the rest of them before I've made that decision." He answered, earning an approving look from both Alianne and Isildaure.

"Good, good." Isildaure smiled at him, "I was worried that what had happened had soured your taste for adventure. It's good to see that this generation is so resilient."

Daca'li returned his smile and did his best to not lend voice to the feeling that a similar conversation was had with Alianne.

"Do you two have any plans for where you'll go from here?" He asked instead.

Isildaure deflated slightly at the question. Daca'li had a feeling he knew why.

Alianne put a hand on her grandfather's shoulder. "We're not sure at the moment. Probably a short break. Perhaps we'll be able to travel together in the future."

Daca'li considered the idea for a moment. "That sounds good. I hope we can."

"To the future?" Isildaure offered, picking up his tea cup.

"To the future."

"To the future."

For the sake of Momodi and themselves, they did not clink their cups together.

A few hours ago, SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft concluded its Crew-5, or SpaceX Crew-5, mission for NASA by landing without problems. On board were astronauts Nicole Mann, Josh Cassada, and Koichi Wakata and cosmonaut Anna Kikina, who had reached the International Space Station on October 6, 2022, and were part of Expedition 68. The four of them finished the fifth regular crewed mission of SpaceX in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Tampa, Florida. The Crew Dragon departed the Station about nineteen hours earlier.
