i'm literally insane about the last agni kai and the lightning scene(s). i swear i've rewatched it 10+ times since my last rewatch of the show (which was my first watch in years) and like. azula sees katara come into view from behind. zuko doesn't. he follows azula's gaze and sees katara and is immediately horrified. he doesn't even think or hesitate because he doesn't have time and for once he doesn't have to look back at azula to figure out what she's doing because he knows what she's doing and he won't let it happen. time dwindling into slow motion as a haunting score plays? and zuko literally yelling out "no!" because that lightning absolutely cannot hit katara. as soon as he sees it there's no chance of that ever happening. and then katara watching in horror as the lightning flashes against features in what is probably one of the most hauntingly beautiful animated moments of the show? zuko hitting the ground still convulsing with lightning and katara crying out "zuko!" and immediately trying to run to him before azula attacks again? and the next scene we cut back to with them, zuko is groaning weakly and trying to lift himself up, and we see katara literally gasp in surprise as she realizes he's still alive (i'm sobbing because i do quite literally think she thought he was dead) and immediately tries to run to him again, nevermind that she knows azula is still there, and the hand katara uses for healing is already doused in water as she reaches for him. but then azula starts attacking again. and zuko, despite literally being in so much pain that he can't stand and can barely even move at all without whimpering, still tries to reach for the spot where he can see azula attacking katara. katara is forced to hide from azula's attacks. and as azula is mocking "zuzu, you don't look so good" down to zuko, the perspective shot is such that you can SEE that katara is also looking at where he lies prone in the distance, surrounded by flame (probably wondering how much time they have before it really is too late) before looking back up at azula and realizing she needs to defeat her as quickly and handily as possible so katara can get to zuko. obviously katara would have done this anyway (the whole reason they were THERE was to halt the continued cycle of the imperialist regime of the fire nation), but the scene is specifically framed as katara trying to figure out how to stop azula so the obstacle to her getting to zuko is no longer in the way. katara's defeat of azula was epic and deserves its own post. but then after making sure azula is securely chained, she runs to zuko, looks at him with such immense sadness and horror and fear as she hears him in so much pain, tenderly turns him over so she can get a good look at the wound. and she cups his head? briefly but so gently? so that he won't hit it as she turns him over? and when she tries to heal him you can tell she is so genuinely unsure if it will even work, and so relieved that she starts crying tears of joy when she sees it has (at least enough to keep him alive and somewhat lessen his pain.) they thank each other (and you can tell it's still really hard for zuko to talk and his eyes are barely open but he thanks her anyways i'm.) and she thanks him back and!!! when he starts to try to sit up she makes a little surprised face and then immediately helps him to do so (and puts a tender hand to his chest while she does!!!) and obviously that last shot of them standing together is also one of emotional support, but katara's hand on his back is also partly because i still think (and certainly katara still thinks) trying to walk/stand on his own would be a bad idea, so it's definitely not happening.

INTRO POST!

Roger, roger! One-two, one-two-three… This is Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars, SHSL Astronaut reporting!

If you know me, you know I check out NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day every morning, but recently I’ve been wanting to share it with more people (besides just sending my buddies the link every day), with my own commentary to spice it up!

But also, if you REALLY know me, you’d know that I’m pretty shitty with keeping up with stuff like this, even if it’s about my favorite thing ever. Sorry if I miss a day sometimes!

Feel free to shoot me an ask about whatever you want, whenever! Whether you’ve got an astronautical question, your own astrophotography, or if you just wanna talk!

Happy to serve you guys!

Hey I’m the mod. Call me Comet! I’m a Kaito fictive (sourcemates int NOW), I use sol/sun/sols or he/him, and I’m bodily an adult 👍

This blog is just for getting my hyperfixation juices out lol so I don’t wanna do any serious long-form roleplay here. Other roleplay blogs can interact tho, and idm fooling around with whatever ships you like! I’m not afraid of making Kaito fall in love with literally everyone bc That’s How I Am Too. There'll be sexual humor too but I'll keep it down due to Danganronpa's weird fucking annoyingly vague ages

Also this isn’t part of any AU rlly uh?? Think of it like that weird limbo that chatfics r always in idk 💀 VR postgame????? Yeah idfk I talk about space

80,000 year cycle comet visible, spiritual meaning

A comet that flew by 80,000 year ago is visible now and comets are harbingers of disasters and change. Read more about what this means spiritually

Comet that flew by 80,000 years ago is visible this weekend. Hail the ancestors. “Are you ready for a naked-eye comet? Although there are never any guarantees when it comes to comets, astronomers have high hopes that Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) will be visible in the hour before sunrise on four successive mornings this week. Further windows of naked-eye visibility in the evening sky…

[I’d like to see you try. Only tokens can get them so far,, if you you managed to kill me, they would be dead.]

[And it would be your fault.]

(Comet grabbed onto some the smoke that made up Anwir's body, yanking the god closer to him somehow)

I think you're forgetting who is on who's head right now, buddy

(His right eye shone through his hair, creating this strange starburst effect)

I never said I would kill you, no that would be a mercy. But if you touch them. I will make you wish you never met me

whoa... the sudden urge to talk about ocs

Apparently May 2nd this blog turned nine years old annnnnnnd wow. Wowie. I cannot believe. How 😭😭😭

[rostam-z]

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is an intriguing new comet, discovered on January 9, 2023, by #astronomers at the Purple Mountain Observatory (often referred to as Tsuchinshan) in China and later observed independently by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Hawaii, hence its combined name. It’s of particular interest because of its brightening as it approaches the Sun, leading to speculation it could become a prominent sight in the night sky if it holds together as it gets closer. Key details about C/2023 A3 include: 1. Orbital Path: C/2023 A3 has a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning it’s likely on its first approach from the outer Solar System. This path could make it particularly active and prone to outbursts as it reacts with sunlight for the first time. 2. Closest Approach: The comet will make its closest approach to the Sun, or perihelion, on October 12, 2024. It will then reach its closest approach to Earth around mid-October 2024, potentially making it visible to the naked eye. 3. Potential Brightness: There’s optimism that C/2023 A3 could become quite bright, maybe even as bright as Venus, depending on how much it reacts to solar radiation as it nears the inner Solar System. However, comets can be unpredictable; many comets break apart or lose brightness due to fragmentation and other factors as they near the Sun. 4. Viewing Recommendations: Northern Hemisphere observers are likely to have the best views as the comet is expected to appear above the horizon in the early evening. If the comet remains intact, it could be visible to the naked eye or binoculars and telescopes. Comet C/2023 A3 has drawn excitement from astronomers and enthusiasts alike, as it has the potential to become a memorable object in the night sky in 2024! #Tsuchinshan #Comet #Sweden #stockholm Have you seen the comments?

“Take it”

You and Chris have had sex a thousand times, but this time, after a dirty comment you thought nothing of, Chris’ secret obsession comes to light

vibe check: pure smut, chris with a size kink, a tiny thing about it hurting in a good way, dirty talk, bigdick!chris, chris with a praise kink?, pet names, praise, creampie, reader cums from pen alone (the hayley's comet of sexual occurrences)

1k words

A/N: I saw this and i knew what i had to do…BIG DICK CHRIS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

love and cigs, merc

You and Chris were lost in ecstasy, one leg draped over his shoulder as the other hung round his waist. His head was rested against your knee, his perfect teeth grazing the bone as he thrust in and out of your sopping pussy, your walls milking him with every movement.

Your moans filled the room as his tip poked at your g-spot, pressing that perfect button over and over again. He groaned at the sight of your fucked out face, your mouth hung open as guttural sounds left your lips, cries of Chris' name rolling off your tongue as he nipped at the skin of your knee, lost in the feeling of your tight pussy around him.

"you feel so fucking good, baby" he groaned, his hand gripping at the flesh of your thigh as it rested on his hip.

You could only moan in response, reeling in the way his cock stretched out your walls, the sting being nothing compared to the bliss you felt as he relentlessly fucked you.

"so fucking pretty, taking me like this, so so pretty" Chris continued, rambling.

"mphm, Chris, you're so big" You moaned, thinking nothing of it as you spoke, his size being the only thing in your mind in that moment.

Chris' eyes snapped open, locking in on yours instantly as he continued to fuck you, something about your words making his brain tingle.

"whatcha say, ma?" he said, slightly breathless.

"you're so-" you cut yourself off with a moan, "y'so big, Chris"

Chris near enough growled, biting down on your knee before looking down to the bulge forming in your stomach as he pounded into you. He knew he was big, and he loved how well you always took him, but you'd never told him now big he was, and he never knew that was something he wanted to hear.

"say it again f'me" He slowed his pace, but increased his temperament, his hips slapping against yours with a sting as he thrust in and out of you, slow and hard.

You couldn't help but moan at the change in tempo, head craning back into the pillow, your mouth slung wide open.

Chris hand came to your jaw, pulling your head back to look at him with your cheeks gently squished between his fingers.

"tell me again, baby" He cooed, his tone stern but words soft.

"you-" you stuttered, "you're so big, Chris, stretching me out so fucking good" your brows were knit together, trying to get out every word coherently.

Chris groaned, fucking into your tight pussy impossibly hard, watching your begging eyes as he did. your words had set something off in him, and he was past the point of no return.

"you like it when I stretch you out like this? huh, princess? you love taking my big cock?" Chris questioned, eyes trained on yours.

"mhm" you moaned, biting down on your lip, "I love it, Chris"

Chris lowered his gaze to the bulge in your stomach once more, watching as his tip took fleshy shape in your skin. He couldn't help but moan, obsessed with how well you took him.

"y'take it so well, ma, y'take my cock like a lil champion, huh?" He muttered, looking back to you and brushing his thumb over your wet, plump lips.

You parted your lips, letting him slip his thumb into your mouth as he pressed it against your warm tongue. You wrapped your lips around his digit, sucking it with a moan as he pulled out of you almost completely, only to thrust back in with a brutal slap of his skin against yours.

He tugged at the flesh of your thigh, pulling your other leg over his shoulder and pressing your knees to your chest, his thumb leaving your mouth with a pop.

The new position gave him the perfect opportunity to hit you even deeper than before, his dick pressing into your cervix with a blissful ache.

"fuck, Chris, it hurts so good" you mumbled, tears pricking at your eyes at the ache of your contorted body, and Chris' weight pressed against you almost completely.

"be a good girl, and take it" Chris spat, setting a rapid pace into your perfect pussy.

He was relentless, pressing your legs tight against your chest as he laid almost all his weight down on top of you. His length thrust in and out of you, the sound of your juices mixed with the slap of his skin against yours acting as a backing track to both of your moans.

"give it to me, give it to me, give it to me" you moaned over and over again, unable to form a thought other than that simple request. Something about the dirty talk, mixed with the feeling of Chris' weight on you and his big dick stretching you out made that familiar knot tighten in your stomach, your whole body tingling as every hair on your skin stood on edge.

Chris was a moaning, whimpering mess, the sound of your begging making him feel lightheaded as he pounded into you. Your slick walls were clenching around him like a vice, and he knew he was done for.

"cum with me, princess, cum all over my big cock like a good girl" Chris said though gritted teeth, his tone somehow still soft and caring despite his pace.

As if on command, his words sent you over the edge, and with a cry of his name, you released sticky juices all over his length, the squelching sound of him fucking you through your toe curling orgasm making him reel.

He was seconds behind, filling you up with his cum, fucking it into you as he stuttered above you, pressing his weight further down onto the backs of your legs as he gripped and tugged at any skin of yours he could reach.

Your breathless moans filled the room as he stilled inside you, letting his cum soak into your walls and his length, unable to bring himself to pull out. His hand came to your hair as he rested his head against your leg, trying to catch his breath with fluttery eyes. You leaned into his touch, humming at his soft caress.

"so" you said, giggling slightly, "you like it when I tell you how big you are, huh?" you cheesed as he opened his eyes.

Chris chuckled and shook his head, pushing strands of sweaty hair out your face, "don't start" he grinned.

KAITO'S APOD #1 - TRIANGULUM GALAXY

©️ Pea Mauro

Now, what's this spiral galaxy doing with such an angular name? Well, although its not found in the actual constellation itself, The Triangulum Galaxy, or Messier 33, can be found in the range of the constellation Triangulum, whose shape I bet you can't guess.

©️ International Astronomical Union (cropped)

What!? Is that a triangle!? I know, I can't believe it either. The poor constellation is squished between the ranges of 4 other, way more iconic constellations: Andromeda, Aries, Perseus, and Pisces. I'd have crazy imposter syndrome if I were this cluster of stars.

But guess what? Thanks to an incredible picture of a galaxy residing in its range, Triangulum gets a little love.

... I just realized that I didn't even talk about the actual galaxy from today's picture enough. Buy hey, what can I say? I root for the underdogs! You can read more about M33 on its official APOD page here.

OOC below ⟢

First apod done 🔥🔥 I ended up learning way more about this stupid constellation than I expected. Like way more than I wrote. Somebody PLEASE talk to me about my sad pathetic little constellation it's likw a blorbo to me now

Also I might. Miss tomorrows post cuz I got work like all day uhh. Like I just remembered lmfao 💀 Well I already typed all of this so oh well

Happy WBW! What is the transportation like in your world?

Transportation in the world of Transcendants primarily revolves around the Bridge, a magnificent structure made from stone with Constellation runes etched into it. This bridge serves as a gateway to travel through space, transporting individuals to different planets and galaxies.

When a Transcendant uses the Bridge to travel, they are greeted by breathtaking views of stars, galaxies, and comets, enhancing their journey with a sense of wonder and awe. The Bridge not only connects different parts of the universe but also serves as a reminder of the beauty and vastness of space. It plays a crucial role in the Transcendants' way of life, allowing them to explore and discover the mysteries of the cosmos.
