(bye this is my first time posting a story on tumblr.. this is also on my ao3, maes)

“Will?” Nico found himself turning around at the voice of Kayla, Will’s sister.

Nico’s heart seemed to stop, his eyes widened and his body unmoving. Nico stared as his boyfriend pulled a hand back from his stomach only for Will’s hand to be covered in crimson.

Shit.

“Will? Will—“ Nico surged forward, catching his boyfriend before he could fall.

Will looked at him, Nico was breathing hard and had shaky hands. Will’s expression for the first time was unreadable—it was void of anything.

Until Will gave him a small smile and placed his other hand on Nico’s shoulder.

“It’s okay, Nico.” Will murmured, his voice strained.

Nico didn’t want to break, especially in front of Kayla, Austin, and Lou Ellen. It was the stupidest of reasons this was happening, really.

The gods.

“No, no I can—“ Nico muttered.

“Nico,”

“Will, please! Please, I—“

“Nico. Listen to me.”

Nico looked up at him, his face wet with unwanted tears. This couldn’t happen again, not after so many times.

“I love you, di Angelo.” Will seemed to glow—even at this moment.

“I love you in every universe, Solace.”

“I know.”

“I’ll find you, I’ll save you. I promise.” Nico cried as Will put a hand on his cheek. “They won’t take you again. Never.”

Will just had that look again. His eyes crinkled and he smiled. “Don’t say that, Nico.”

“I love you, Will.”

“And I love you, Nico.”

Nico watched as Will’s body went stiff—then still and then gone. His heart died a little bit more every time.

The one hundred and sixteenth time.

He turned his watch back.

The Echo of His Steps

Summary: Will Solace has to brave the depths of the Underworld to reclaim Nico di Angelo, the boy he loved, after a cruel twist of fate takes him too soon. Granted one chance by Hades and Persephone, Will must lead Nico back to the living world without ever looking back. But as doubt and fear creep in, Will's faith is tested to its breaking point.

Orpheus and Eurydice AU

Will Solace had always been full of light. A healer, a musician, and a son of Apollo, his warmth was a beacon to everyone around him. But the one who had captured his heart—the one who had forever changed him—was Nico di Angelo, a boy of shadows and death.

Their love had been unlikely, but it was real. Nico, son of Hades, who carried the weight of death in his heart, had found something in Will that he thought he’d lost long ago. For a time, they were happy together. Will brought Nico warmth; Nico gave Will depth. They balanced one another in a way neither had expected, and it seemed, for once, that the fates might let them be.

But the fates are cruel.

Nico was wandering in the woods, keeping to himself as he always did. But he wasn’t alone for long. The monsters came from the shadows. He fought, of course. He always fought. But there were too many. They overwhelmed him, claws and fangs tearing at him until he couldn’t stand anymore. In the end, they struck him down, and his body was left there, lifeless, beneath the trees. 

By the time Will found him, it was too late. Nico’s lifeless form lay still in the forest, his pale skin colder than it had ever been in life. Will tried everything—his healing powers, his prayers to Apollo, his desperate pleas—but nothing could bring Nico back.

Nico was gone.

Will’s grief consumed him. He couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t think of anything but the boy he had lost. 

Finally, Will made a decision. If death had taken Nico, then he would follow. Not to join him, but to bring him back.

Armed with nothing but his determination, Will descended into the underworld. No mortal should have survived such a journey, but Will was no ordinary mortal. As the son of Apollo, his light was his shield, and his heart was his guide. 

At last, Will stood before the thrones of Hades and Persephone, the rulers of the dead.

“What brings you to my realm, son of Apollo?” Hades asked, his voice heavy and cold.

“I have come for Nico di Angelo,” Will replied, his voice steady but filled with anguish. 

Hades regarded him for a long moment, unmoved. “No mortal can reclaim a soul from my realm,” he said.

Will fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. “Please,” he begged. “Take anything from me. Just let him come back.”

It was Persephone who finally spoke. “Let him try,” she said softly, her gaze lingering on Will. “His love is pure.”  

Hades frowned but nodded with understanding. “Very well,” he said. “You may take him, but there is one condition: Nico must follow behind you as you leave the underworld. You must not look back at him until you have both reached the world of the living. If you do, he will be lost to you forever.”

Will agreed without hesitation.

When Nico’s shade appeared, Will’s breath caught in his throat. Nico looked almost as he had in life, his dark eyes filled with sorrow, his pale skin faintly glowing in the dim light of the underworld.

“Will,” Nico said softly, his voice like a whisper carried on the wind.

“I’m taking you home,” Will promised, his voice breaking. “Just follow me.”

And so, they began the long ascent.

He dared not look back, even as his heart ached to see Nico’s face again. He could hear Nico’s faint footsteps behind him, but the silence between them was unbearable.

Doubt began to creep in.

What if it wasn’t really Nico behind him? What if the gods had deceived him, and he was leading a stranger—or worse, nothing at all—back to the living world?

“Nico?” Will called softly, his voice trembling.

There was no response except the sound of footsteps. 

Will’s doubt only grew. The underworld was full of tricks and illusions, and he couldn’t bear the thought of losing Nico again.

The exit was so close—just a few more steps, and they would both be free.

But Will couldn’t stand it any longer. The fear, the doubt, the unbearable weight of not knowing—it overwhelmed him. He had to know if the love of his life was truly behind him. 

He turned.

In that instant, their eyes met. Nico’s form was solid and real, his dark eyes filled with love and sorrow. For a brief, fleeting moment, Will felt relief wash over him.

Then Nico began to fade.

“No!” Will cried, reaching for him. “Nico, please—don’t go!”

But it was too late. Nico’s form dissolved into the shadows, pulled back into the depths of the underworld.

Will fell to his knees at the threshold of the living world. He had been so close—so unbearably close. But his doubt had destroyed everything.

He returned to the world above alone, his heart shattered beyond repair.

In the end, the light of the sun could not reach him, and the shadows claimed him as their own.

HOW FAST DOES THE EARTH SPIN??

Blog#331

Wednesday, September 13th, 2023

Welcome back,

To answer the question of how fast Earth spins, you need to know two things: how long it takes to make a full rotation, and Earth’s circumference. The time it takes Earth to rotate so the sun appears in the same position in the sky, known as a solar day, is 24 hours. However, the time it takes Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis with respect to distant stars is actually 23 hours 56 minutes 4.091 seconds, known as a sidereal day.

With this information, to work out how fast Earth is spinning we need only our planet’s circumference. At the equator, its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometres, so dividing this by the length of day means that, at the equator, Earth spins at about 1670 kilometres per hour.

However, this speed of rotation isn’t consistent across the planet. As you move north or south, the circumference of Earth gets smaller, so the speed of spin reduces until it reaches its slowest at both poles. And all of this is nothing compared with the 107,000 kilometres per hour at which Earth orbits the sun.

If we are travelling so fast through space, why can’t we feel it?

Simply put, as Earth is spinning at a constant speed, so does everything on it. Travelling at the same speed means we cannot feel the spin. It is like driving a car. Even though you are moving, you aren’t aware of speed because it is constant. Only when you change speeds do you notice you are travelling, like putting your foot on the accelerator or making an emergency stop.

A change in speed has been happening here on Earth, but it is far too slow to notice. Millions of years ago, one Earth day was about 22 hours, and Earth’s speed has been dropping for more than a billion years, with days increasing by around 2 milliseconds every century.

This slow down is caused by friction created by the ocean currents, tides and wind pulling on Earth’s surface. However, global warming may speed things up again. As sea levels rise, this change in mass could result in Earth spinning faster and reducing the length of each day by 0.12 milliseconds, which would have dramatic effects on the calibration of atomic clocks and GPS systems.

What if Earth were to stop spinning?

Without a huge external force, this is impossible. But, if Earth were to stop spinning, the atmosphere would continue to spin at the speed of Earth’s rotation, so anything not fixed to the surface, including trees and buildings, would be swept away by the strong winds.

Each side of the planet would get six months of continuous sunlight and six months of darkness.

Without the centrifugal force of the spin, the oceans would gradually move towards the poles, creating a huge supercontinent across the equator. But we wouldn’t be flung off Earth. Gravity and the centrifugal force of Earth’s spin keep us grounded. In order for us to feel weightless, the centrifugal force would need to be ramped up. At the equator, Earth would need to spin at 28,437 kilometres per hour for us to be lifted off into space.

@doomstarmagician || What if we kissed…?

The battle had been intense, but the two had always been ready to meet that intensity with their own strength, working in tandem and dancing like leaves on the wind, seemingly without purpose but always drawn to their inevitable destination.

For Doomstar, this had always been the False King and his Leviathan.

And for Mana… well, there was a reason stories of them so very often included the other. His fight was hers for as long as he allowed her to stand beside him. He was her best friend and her commander in this war, and there was no way she would let him fight alone.

Doomstar had stopped in his tracks midway through battle and turned on his heel, offering little explanation as he tore off in a new direction. Mana hadn’t needed one, and had followed without a word, already fishing an energy replenishment out of dimensional storage for him…

He’d had that look in his eye.

And all too soon, the dust began to settle, nothing on the air but the sickening smell of unholy blood coming from the dying ‘God’’s throat.

And the Doomstar Magician stood upon on its back, covered in grime and muck and old magick residue, holding at his side the newly removed head of the False King.

There was still the faint glow of power in his eyes, an inhumane glint as he surveyed friend and foe alike, even as the Entity prepared once again for slumber.

Under normal circumstances, she might have kept her distance, but instead the Dragon Knight stepped forward, lifting her sword.

“For Atlantis!”

He smiled, raising his prize for all to see, a tired smile on his face, his gaze meeting Mana’s and softening.

He’d avenged his home and Master…

It was finally over.

——————✨

Of course, for so many in the Realm of Spirits, this meant celebrations aplenty. While the humans moved on quickly, going back to their daily routines as their fallen came home to them, the spirits themselves recognised this event for what it was.

The Beginning of the next Era, free of the threats of False Gods and extinction brought on by its presence.

The sky was filled with lights and explosions so bright that Doomstar might not be able to see his stars, and the music from the little town had been playing for hours.

As Mana sat on her little balcony rail, she couldn’t help but wonder how much energy they all seemed to have. She felt like she could have easily have slept for a week rather than party, exhausted as she was from the constant fighting and stress.

She watched the sky thoughtfully, picking at the chipping paint on the railing next to her.

“Are they still going?” The soft footfalls indicated that Doomstar had followed her out, and she turned her head, smiling at him. Compared to the last few weeks, he looked radiant, if not exhausted, bathed and redressed in some old comfortable things he’d found in her closet.

(Possibly pyjamas she’d stolen from him years earlier.)

“So he’s pale underneath all the grime of war! Who knew?”

She heard a chuckle as he joined her. “I thought you’d be asleep, it’s the middle of the night.”

“Everything’s far too bright and loud for that,” she answered, nudging him. “Besides… I wanted to make sure you’re okay.”

He didn’t say anything, leaning his elbows on the railing next to her and turning his face towards the sky.

She waited a moment before reaching out to caress his cheek with a hand, leaning down to touch her forehead to his lovingly.

Such indulgences had been left behind for the most part during the fighting, shelved to keep from distraction.

Neither of them had wanted to give Dartz any extra advantages, after all.

Just being close and fighting together had been enough for them, with Doom so laser focused on his goal.

So this almost felt brand new again, and Mana could feel her heart thumping in her chest, nervous as she pulled back and away from him.

What if he didn’t feel the same anymore? What if their distance had changed them too much? What if—

Doomstar’s eyes opened. “You’re overthinking again, my love.”

She froze. He hadn’t called her that out loud in a very long time. Much longer than she’d liked.

“Mm… I am,” she sighed. “It’s been such a long time, I just…. Didn’t want to assume that we…”

He laughed, soft and tired as he reached out to take her hand.

She found herself laughing as well. How ridiculous it sounded out loud. What was this time compared to what they had already shared.

“Okay, yeah…”

She twisted their linked hands to kiss his knuckles, still bruised and cracking from the last fight.

“I adore you, sweet man. Even when you’re laughing at me.”

She tugged gently, kissing at the pressure point in his wrist.

“Even when you drive me mad with worry…”

The next tug pulled herself closer to him, sliding off her railing so she could stand beside him.

“And even when you are so busy fighting.”

“Oh? Even then?”

“Especially then.” She raised herself onto her toes and kissed his nose. “You’re very beautiful when you bring the heavens down on people.”

Nose to nose, they stopped for a moment to just hold one another, Mana just enjoying watching the reflections of light dancing in Doomstar’s eyes.

“May I kiss you, Darling Star?” She asked teasingly. “Or is there another crusade to go on first?”

“Mm… Not for a little while, my Best Girl. I think you may.”

And she was pretty sure it was her with stars in her eyes for once as their lips met.

After beating In Stars And Time I have been unable to shake off this one Undertale AU from my head that's just Undertale but instead of Frisk being to save and load they're just stuck in a time loop. just stuck in a time loop with the only one that remembers any of them being Flowey who just thinks the child with greater Determination than him is just being really stupid for not saving at all.

Another idea I have for this AU would be that the whole No Mercy ending with Chara making the world go bye bye just doesn't happen, even if Frisk were to get desperate enough to destroy all of the Underground (which would take a lot of loops) they would just end up right back where they started once they crossed the Barrier.

And to make things more fucked up, all of those emotions that became more and more dull during their last loop (basically how the whole thing with the more LOVE you have the easier it becomes to distance yourself thing works in an AU where the player isn't around at all) would just hit them at full force and just fuck them up.

tl;dr, I want to make that child feel pain and suffering by sticking them in a time loop. No reason, just feel like it.

Shadowpeach Star wars AU part 11 is coming. Here is a sneak-peek. Also if you have watched star wars you can proberly guess what sence this was token from.

        Liu'er watched aimlessly as the performers continued their act on stage dancing this way and that way continuing the flow of the story. Almost coincidentally the play was about two tragic lovers who come from two different worlds. If Liu'er could remember right it was called Romeo and Juliet, he thinks. He sighed relaxing back into the comfy  seat, but what wasn't the reason he thought it was almost coincidental. Recently he had been having nightmares about his secret love for Sun Wukong, his childhood friend.

            The type of nightmare he was having was the type where you watch your loved one leave you or die tragically. And they had gotten worse after Wukong had left on a mission. Liu'er covered his eyes with his arm, just watching this act was torturous. It reminded him of the boundaries that kept him from confessing his love. Was this the universe's way to tell him that it was impossible. Suddenly something tapped his shoulder, he jerked away from the touch and looked up to see a smiling servant with his eyes squinting? The servant was wearing a simple but fancy blue suit.

           Liu'er scowled, wondering how he didn't sense him when he approached. He rubbed his wrist and tried to relax in this man's presence, no one could hide their presence like this, not even Jedi masters could. It was like he was a corpse. "What do you need?" The man's smile widened but backed off and was no longer leaning over him. "My mistress would like to have a word with you." Liu'er raised his eyebrow and sighed, it was probably just another Noble. He stood up, his arm gesturing out and with a mocking voice he said. "Lead the way." 

             The servant led him up two levels then to a viewing platform that would cost a normal creature a fortune. Liu'er grimaced as much as he loved messing around with Nobles; there was a limit to how much he could take. The servant spoke up first. "I've brought him my mistress."

Jelly, buddy as someone who knows next to nothing about Star Trek, please tell me what’s happening

ok so spock/kirk is like. the oldest ship ever, okay? they invented slash fiction. these guys pioneered fandom as we know it today

in the last movies they made with those original characters, they were separated into like. alternate universes. okay. these guys were never gonna see each other again and it was very sad and tragic and the fans were kinda sad about it but it is what it is.

then. they made a short film. right. like 8 minutes long. of kirk reuniting with spock. on spocks deathbed. and kirk holds his hand, and they look off into the sunset together.

they got to be reunited. they got to be together in the end. they got their romantic ending i swear to god im losing it.

if it helps. imagine if in 50 years time, they released an 8 minute video of old man dean winchester going to the empty and saving castiel and then they sat on the hood of the impala holding hands and watching the sun set. thats what its like. you see how insane that is??? do you get it???
