if any dimensional travelers showed up at nebula's castle, hed either invite them in for snacks, or try to gently shoo them away with a broom

[bloodmoons-knife]

well u see, mischief is the answer. is nebula even aware theyre in there? we may never know~

as for color options with nebulas cloak, i got this gorgeous piece of fanart a while back that gave his cloak fluffy galaxy vibes and ive been riding that high ever since.

(Me, while having an art discussion with myself)

You know, I've been having a hard time figuring out what color Nebula's cloak should be, or what kind of fluffy it should have.

Let's do light purple for the main color and baby blue for the fluff...

Hm... Maybe a bit more fluff...

Hmm... Maybe the color's off?

No worries, I'll just turn everything but the basic sketch invisible!

But while I'm at it, the cloak seems too... gravity defying in the back. I'll just-

What the? @bloodmoons-knife , what are your kids doing???

next second he has uriel, black flame dragon, wukong and the underworld nebula by his side.

people often make a big deal (at least in the online circles that i move in) over book awards like the hugos and nebulas, but for me it's also very interesting to see which books stand the test of time and actually end up being remembered in the popular conscience. for example, a game of thrones by george rr martin actually didn't win the nebula award in 1997 for best sci-fi or fantasy novel published in the us that year and was instead beaten by the historical fantasy novel the moon and the sun by vonda mcintyre, which has since not really gone down as a particularly well-known book despite at the time being blurbed by a number of famous authors like robin mckinley and diana gabaldon, while a game of thrones is now one of the most famous fantasy novels ever written. furthermore, the moon and the sun was eventually adapted into a movie called the king's daughter which was filmed in 2014, locked in a studio vault for various reasons for 8 years, and then very unceremoniously released in 2022 and watched by almost no one even though it has a number of famous people in the cast (it also has a 21% on rotten tomatoes). ANYWAY this is all just to say that i was at a used bookstore when visiting my grandparents over the weekend and i found an EXTREMELY cheep and very nice hardcover first edition of the moon and the sun, so i am now determined to read the book and then watch the movie and see for myself if either of them are any good, thus satisfying my curiosity over this whole little anecdote in sff history.

Final Frontier

Shoot for stars but take your world with you. A space-lost man knows that he is trapped in his mask. He blows breath onto the visor despite dwindling supply, creating a thin mist reminiscent of snow telling the world it’s December. There he sees the past reflected on a soft, soggy patch. There he momentarily lives, knowing the end has finally arrived to pick him up at the airport. Through…

Queen of the Cosmos

Signs are showing. Constantine dreads what they predict.

The Queen of the Cosmos, Successor of the Tyrant King, Ruler of Galaxies, Embodiment of Space, Keeper of Balance, Siren of Stars, and many more.

She's the most powerful BeingTM by millennia. As far as the information John's gotten has indicated.

The stars are flowing, swimming in smooth currents. The sun dims, cracks of darkness revealing nebulae so beautiful. The moon grins, knowing and mischievous. The horizon is a mixture of greens and purples and blues and yellows.

The Queen of the Cosmos will arrive, and she must be welcomed.

The Queen of the Cosmos shall come, and she must be respected.

The Queen of the Cosmos is near, and the royal family will follow.

John grimaced. A Wrathful Prince with a habit of glassing worlds? A Wandering Princess who played tricks? A Knight with a penchant for punishing dissenters with eternal madness? This wouldn't be easy. Time to tell the Big Guys and Girls.

Hi my name is Dokja Read’er Demon King of Salvation Kim and I read a lot (that’s how I got my name) and a lot of people tell me I look like Yoo Joonghyuk (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Sun Wukong but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a demon king but my wings are fluffy and white. I’m also a constellation, and I run a nebula called Kim Dokja’s Company in Seoul where I’m in the leader (not Yoo Joonghyuk). I’m normal (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly white. I love Mass Production Maker and I buy all my clothes from him. For example today I was wearing a white infinite dimension space coat with a dress shirt under it, black slacks and black shoes. I was walking outside the Industrial Complex. It was cloudy so there were no stars, which I was very happy about.

[A lot of constellations are staring at you.]

I put up my middle finger at them.

Sh2-132: The Lion Nebula Image Credit & Copyright: Imran Badr; Text: Natalia Lewandowska (SUNY Oswego)

Explanation: Is the Lion Nebula the real ruler of the constellation Cepheus? This powerful feline appearing nebula is powered by two massive stars, each with a mass over 20 times greater than our Sun. Formed from shells of ionized gas that have expanded, the nebula's energetic matter not only glows, but is dense enough to contract gravitationally and form stars. The angular size of the Lion Nebula, officially named Sh2-132, is slightly greater than that of the full moon. The gaseous iconic region resides about 10,000 light years away in a constellation named after the King of Aethopia in Greek mythology.

Everyone kissing everyone >>>>>>>>>>>>>

OK but fr, I am the monarch of multi-shipping. (Was gonna put king or queen, then I remembered I'm above mortal titles.)

Here's some ships for all my favorite characters(Solar, KC, & Earth):

Solar x Nebula. I've seen it around. It's cute, I like their dynamic.

Solar x Solar's Sun(Sundew). Especially after today's episode. Tragic yaoi for the win!

Solar x Bloodmoon. I think it'd be cute. Maybe a bit toxic as well.

Solar x KC. They never met. SO????? WHO CARES???:D Also tell me they wouldn't be adorable

KC x Spaniard. They're ADORABLE. I have no other commentary.

KC x Ruin. KISS. KISS. KISS. Bloodmoon has 2 parents now(They'd hate it lmfao)

Earth x THE ENTIRE WOMAN POPULATION. I like girls:>

Earth x Puppet. They cheat on their partners with each other (We just need Foxy and Monty making out on the couch-)

Now I'm eepy.

[bloodmoons-knife]

miiiisssss me? :]

HEHEHE OKAY SO

apus!! who gave him that name. did binary pick it out for him as the Resident Name-Giver or did he choose it himself? if so, what's it in reference to?

what would everyones favorite books / book serieses be?? i feel like i might be projecting a little but i think binary would like pjo he gives those vibes to me hjsdhds

actually wait. how did nebula react to the 5000 dimensions collapsing, or has that not happened yet in the timeline of the fic-? i feel like he would be absolutely devastated but hey!! at least he has less dimensions to look for a moon in-?

what kind of festivals are there? there's one adjacent to christmas but i'm curious if any others holidays carried over? (eg. halloween, Eid, etc etc)

also i was rereading lltk (because God it's such a good fic) and i just realized that. eri gives off immense susie deltarune vibes sdhjdsjh i can see her just picking up kris off the floor and dragging 'em to noelles house or smth like how eri dragged nebula to the library

:D you return!!

apus is named after the constellation apus! it represents a bird of paradise and i thought itd be fitting uwu.

as for who named him, shrug! open to interpretation, but either way binary was involved.

honestly i think binarys favorite book series would be The Babysitters Club. now forgive me for i read a small variety of books BUT

apus is the one who enjoys the pjo series actually! they like the idea of being born for something big and grand. its fun

eridanus is rarely trusted with books because she keeps forgetting she can't read them safely underwater and binary almost jumped her last time. she Did read a random mid-series Warriors book and was very confused and oddly invested. totally never happened to me.

nebula actually loves childrens stories and folk tales! they make him nostalgic <3

rust likes reading horror books, with an affinity for scifi!

nebula read All Tomorrows once and it haunts his every moment post-star (he may or may not have a mild fear of turning into the Qi. he will never speak of this.)

THE DIMENSIONS im not quite sure if itll be canon to lltk if im honest! it might, but either way i Can tell you nebulas reaction.

he would absolutely be devastated over the mass destruction, he would be mourning for weeks for people he never knew and would never meet.

halloween is definitely carried over, it wasnt even a conscious decision for nebula he just mentioned it off handedly once and next thing he knew it was Surprise Halloween. someone found him laying face down in a smashed pumpkin four hours later. its not clear if he tripped and just stayed there, or actively chose to lay there. it was a very long debate over his body.

also youre right eri Does have those vibes. bully with good intentions. at least most of the time maybe. either way she probably bites.

Next Reference for Long Live The King by @bloodmoons-knife!

Granted, this was the first one I started, but the cloak proved to be a hard concept to wrap my head around until I could properly focus. Anyway!

Presenting the sad sack of absolute power that we all love to pity:

Nebula!

Again, I feel like I could do better, but I'll be happy with what I have now. And I hope the picture isn't blurry. If so, I'll edit this later.

Goodnight! Imma nap sleep

TAGLIST comment if you want to be added ^^

Have you ever felt a strong connection with someone, who you've never met?

Everyone in this universe has a purpose, to have a long and fulfilling life but most importantly to meet your own soulmate.

As soon as the clock hits 12'o clock on your 18th birthday, a light sense of deja vu is supposed to hit you with the image of your destined partner engraved in your mind. In soulmate mythology, two kindred souls share the same psyche and subconscious, embracing each other's emotions till they have found each other.

Some find their forever lover as soon as they turn of age, and some wait hopelessly till the end of time.

Some stories remain passed down for generations, despite the misfortune the characters went through and their happily ever after being universes out of reach. Such stories were meant to leave a mark, merely being a dark spot amongst the comforting tales out in the world.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as they went about their lives, unaware of the profound connection that awaited them. Yet, fate would soon intervene. It was on a rain-soaked evening, when the sky wept tears of nostalgia, that their paths finally crossed.

As their love story unfolded, the mage and his siren realized that destiny had brought them together for a reason. Their souls had been intertwined long before they even knew of each other's existence. They embraced the nostalgia and déjà vu that accompanied their union, cherishing every moment of their journey.

Though stories are met with tragedies

This is a tale of two despaired hearts trapped in the love of war, aching for the familiarity they find comfort in, yet trapped in suffocating chambers of selfish actions and naivety.

He's the ruthless king, leading his troops through the gruesome battle, fighting through every obstacle that leads to his lost Queen.

She is his white rose, stained red with the blood of their tragic love.

he put new stars in the sky and redecorated with new colors, made himself at home along the giant nebulas and the infinite constellations of hope.

Days pass, seasons go and when spring and the sun reveal themselves once again, will she be there too?

King Magnifico is a Star!

Poor King Magnifico. All this magic and fun was happening around him and he was isolated from it all. But What If...King Magnifico was in the woods, scared and stressed, and frantically trying to find out what the light was, and the animals sing to him instead of Asha?

In his case, it would be a reveal moment, where he finds out what star magic is, and that it's nothing to be scared of or threatened by, since "he's a star" too and has had the stardust inside him the whole time. Maybe the song helps reveal that the star magic is what caused his "own origin story" because it's what helped him learn to create his own magic. The song could serve as a gentle reality check; sometimes things you don't understand aren't always something to fear, and sometimes the answers to life's biggest mysteries are closer than you think and aren't always found in a book.

(On a side note, who can I commission to get this version performed? ;) )

Anyway, here's King Magnifico's version of "I'm a Star":

Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers? Or why flowers in the wind are effortless and elegant dancers? What forms the rings in the trees? Grows a pine from a seed? What's passed down generationally, to you? (And to me?)

And why your eyes look like microscopic galaxies? Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?

Well, you don't have to look too hard We're here for all your question marks If you're try'na figure out just who you are Don't look far In the sky, and your courtyard Beyond the books and potion jars If you really wanna know just who you are You're a star! (Magnifico (confused): What?)

Boom! Did we just blow your mind? Magnifico (scoffs): Er, well….I've known the entire time!

When it comes to the universe we're all shareholders Get that through your system! Magnifico: ..Solar?

See we're all just little nebulae in a nursery From supernovas now we've grown into our history We're taking whys right out of mystery, closure Now we're taking in All the star exposure!

We eat the leaves which feed off the sun Magnifico (ponderingly): So that's where the balls of gas come from…

Hey, you still look like you're hanging on by a strand But if you open your mind and heart, you'll understand!

Magnifico (intrigued): So your magic stardust, is my dust too? Amazing!

Well, you don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you're try'na figure out just who you are You're a star! Do you know you're a work of art Even in the deepest dark? If you really wanna know just who you are

Magnifico (uncertain, but getting the hang of things): I'm a star...?

Here's a little fun allegory That gets me excitatory (Magnifico: "That's not a word..") This might sink in in the morning We are our own origin story

If I'm explaining this poorly Stardust makes magical glory It's all quite revelatory And it helped write your origin story!

You don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you're try'na figure out just who you are You're a star!

(Magnifico chuckles, starting to relax and loosen up)

Magnifico sings along with the animals: No matter where you end or start We're all each other's counterparts If you really wanna know just who you are I'm a star!

Magnifico: Hey! I'm a star! Deer: Show the world who you are!

Magnifico: (confidently) You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?) Me, I'm a star! (Woo!!)

Ooh, you're a star! Watch out world, there you are!

You know who's lookin' sharp? Magnifico: Who? You! You're a star!

SPACEMAS DAY 15 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiation powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas are the powerful forces at play in the Wizard Nebula. Located only 8,000 light years away, the nebula surrounds a developing open star cluster called NGC 7380. Visually, the stars, gas, and dust have created a shape that might appear like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.
