I got the longest loner name I've ever seen in Clangen. ever. like look at this:

like what??

you. you are weird. who named you this

the game can't even load their name properly in the bio cuz it's so dang long

anyways props to whoever coded this name into the game, you're really going wild with the Loner Names™

Loner/Kittypet names are where the coders have a bit of goofy fun LOL Off the top of my head, other notable long and hilarious ones are First Generation Ipod and Molly Murder Mittens ~Astra

Aurora Borealis from southern Wisconsin, May 10, 2024. Photos by me!

The colors of the aurora are caused by the atoms in Earth's atmosphere getting excited by the sun's charged particles slamming into them. Green tends to be the most common, showing excited oxygen particles 60-150 miles in altitude. It's also the easiest for our human eyes to detect. Red occurs higher up, above 150 miles, and because there's less oxygen, it takes a stronger stream to show up. Purple is also uncommon, and comes from excited nitrogen atoms below 60 miles. The fact that this display was so colorful was due to its immense strength from the five(!) coronal mass ejections that were belched out in our direction on Friday. The sun might yet serve up some more action as it's still in the peak of its 11-year cycle.

We were so lucky to get to observe such a rare event but also holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit

Imagine, you moving into an apartment right across from Simon. Right? He introduces himself. You make him cookies, and just overall become friends.

After a few months, you two become close. And you bake him sweets whenever you can for his deployments. And he brings them with him. To show off your amazing baking skills.

And then he buys you a dress. Tells you to try in on. And you do. You come out and he's just like "You're beautiful. Like a Goddess..." and you're just flustered. And after a while of you making conversation, he kisses you

aaaaaaah Simon munching down on your baked goodies and all the boys being jealous of him the first time they get to try some too 🥹

… no because the first time Simon brings along your baked sweets the boys just give him a weird look; trying to figure out for the life of them how he acquired those and if he murdered a sweet old lady to steel her sweets. the next time he brings them along the questioning starts. 

“she’s JUST my neighbor… and her baking’s pretty tasty” his excuses become worse and worse each time, especially how he tries to talk himself out of sharing any of your sweet gifts with them, they’re meant for him after all, but eventually he caves and from then on out the guys bug him about meeting the woman with the magic hands. 

till one day they actually do get to meet the baker behind the goodies, the reason for Simon’s gentle mood and hidden smiles. you’re so smitten with him, it’s hard to miss. Soap gives Simon a loopy grin, telling you to keep baking because he got way nicer since he eats more treats. Gaz seconds that and holds up two thumbs up behind your back for Simon to see. Price pats Simon on the back, “looking forward to her sticking around, she’s good for you” 

that evening Simon asks you to stay over, this time it’s his turn to treat you. he goes all out, cooking you a delicious meal, and seeing him there in the kitchen, your heart warms up so much, what a sight to behold, that giant man with a heart of gold, that you were allowed to call all yours now. 

such a sweet idea, feeding simon is such a deep rooted need i can't uuuugh 💖 and plssssss him calling you a goddess???????????? i'm deceased 🫠

Imperial character with the most sanctioned porn made depicting them?

Ciaphas Cain. Runner up is Lord Solar Macharius, who commands to this day the highest budget for a pornographic film ever produced. Specifically, the 5 hour epic porn mockumentary (cockumentary) Milkiest Way: The Macharian Conquests Uncensored. It cost 15,000,000,000 thrones to make and is the only piece of Imperial pornography that is considered required educational viewing on certain planets.

Hihihi I NEED more httyd x gf crossover it's everything to me rn <3 <3 Can I ask what kind of wacky hijinks led Hiccup and Toothless to Gravity Falls??

WAAA I'm so glad you're enjoying the crossover! <33

Hiccup actually isn't present in this crossover 👀 not for the story part at least...

Speaking of which!

This is post-Hidden World Toothless, meaning he and Hiccup have already been separated for some time and he can fly on his own thanks to the mechanical tail. Toothless, in an effort to escape some sort of threat while flying, attempts to camouflage and the buildup of energy timed with a plasma blast ends up punching another hole through space-time similar to Ford's portal. He flies through, crashes in the woods of Gravity Falls, and ends up getting stumbled upon by two very excitable kids...

I want to use third movie-Toothless specifically so he can have some fatherly instincts on top of his already protective nature, so he becomes attached to the twins very quickly and tries his best to keep them safe. Ford and Dipper eventually figure out that Toothless doesn't belong in their dimension and help him get back home, but in the meantime... shenanigans ensue <3

vertebrates are nothing. this planet is dominated by water which is filled with plankton, algae, countless swarms of critters with a few miserable fish. the reefs are built of cnidarians, sponges, algae; crustaceans and gastropods outnumber chordates a zillion to one. even on land, beetles, flies, hymenopterans reign among the life visible to the naked eye; dwarfing them are the plants, and the fungi, and the microbes which live on and in everything. you will never get a vertebrate in a million years.

unless you're fucking Margaret Thatcher apparently.

I would love a geometrid moth, but I'll take anything without *shudders* bones

astra!! what fics have your fav characterizations of regulus?

OOO great question!

(let me preface this by saying that my characterization might not be everybody’s, and that’s okay. my characterization is “the one” in my head, but that doesn’t mean it has to be everyone else’s “one,” and neither i nor the fics/authors i mention below are “better” in any way, shape, or form than anyone else. everyone in this fandom writes amazing works, and i’m sure there are so many wonderful fics with phenomenal regulus characterization that i haven’t read yet)

i’m gonna sound like a cunt here, but my own fics take first place for me💀i write for myself, so i write the regulus i perceive, yk? but here’s (some of) my reggieverse of madness:

@imdamagecontrol’s regulus is amazing in every fic they write, i.e. in paint it black, which to me really shows not only his “duality” but everything in between (and he’s got the cutest little nose freckles), and i’m really really excited to read more of their regulus study, all these terrible things

user georgia_sk on ao3 (i’m sorry if she has tumblr! i looked for it to try and tag her but couldn’t find it) wrote an amazing fic called whatever happened to the young, young lovers? that really encapsulates regulus for me as well

edge by @pinkpalaceapartmcnts is another one i’m obsessed with

when you were mine by @sequinhaze — their regulus has me giggling kicking my legs kissing the ground he walks upon

sugar high by user ivycore on ao3 (again, couldn’t find their tumblr, so if they have one, i’m sorry!) really explores the toll regulus’ upbringing took on him (+ it’s age gap jegulus with sex worker regulus!!)

devotion by @woobyo has a fucking amazing dark regulus characterization

of his bones by @sophsicle is incredible in how it portrays not only the “purist” mentality he’s fallen victim to + how he deconstructs that, but also the burden on regulus’ shoulders that he learns to take on and grow into

i could go on forever and ever and ever, but these are just the ones off the top of my head that i adore.

I had this cat, clover paw. I really wanted her warrior name to be cloverpatch and planned to change it when it auto generated, lo and behold she generates with the patch suffix. Score!

Awh, Cloverpatch sounds very precious! It's always great when your headcannoned warrior name for a cat just so happens to be what the game chose LOL ~Astra
