Messier 15: the Pegasus Globular Cluster

A massive spherical cluster of stars pulled together by their own gravity. Globular clusters are highly technical to shoot and edit, but a great test of how well your equipment is calibrated. The more stars you can resolve, especially close to the core, the better. You can see some of the limits of my data and editing process at the core, where the glow and individual stars become somewhat murky and mottled.

1h each of exposure time for each color channel (RGB) at 1600mm. Calibrated and edited in PixInsight.

Los astrónomos chinos informan del descubrimiento de una nueva estrella de alta velocidad a unos 4.200 años luz de distancia. La estrella recién descubierta, denominada J0731+3717, resultó ser expulsada del cúmulo globular Messier 15 por un agujero negro de masa intermedia. El hallazgo se presentó en un artículo publicado el 3 de junio en el servidor de preimpresión arXiv. Los cúmulos globulares…

Un gioco sottile di equilibri

State osservando una meraviglia. Messier 15 è uno sciame cosmico di oltre centomila stelle. Un relitto – possiamo dire – degli anni di formazione della nostra galassia, la Via Lattea. Uno dei tanti, perché se ne trovano circa centosettanta, in totale, più o meno estesi, più o meno popolosi. Il diametro di M15 è di appena duecento anni luce, ma più di metà delle sue stelle sono impacchettate in…

okay real talk uhhhhh. im going to exclude goalies here (like i have in previous Tops lists) because they're kind of difficult to evaluate in relation to skaters. top goalies are roy-hasek-dryden-brodeur-lundqvist-luongo not in that order + incomplete list + i don't know enough about goalies Let's Move On

10. steve yzerman. 7th in points all time, nearly twenty years with the red wings, a 150-point season. three cups, a conn smythe, a selke, one of the youngest ever all-stars, longest-ever serving captain. stevie y is known as The Captain for a reason !!

9. mike bossy. all time goals per game leader. fourth all time in points per game. four cups, three lady byngs, a conn smythe. short career because of injuries but absolutely legendary peak.

8. alexander ovechkin. you know what his deal is

7. bobby orr. getting 100+ points as a defenceman 6 times is insane

6. gordie howe. i feel like ive brought up my neverending affection for gordie in the past but it cannot be overstated because i loveeeeee gordie i would kill and die for gordie he was so Huge and so Nice and got. 41 points. in the NHL. when he was 52. 1979-1980 season he played 80 games and scored 15 goals and 26 assists. he was born in 1928?? anyway. saskatchewan farm boy you have my heart...

5. sidney crosby. SIDCROS 4 EVA

4. jaromir jagr. ppl forget jagr because he was very much the malkinstyle Mysterious Eastern European when ppl were fawning over mario in penguinland but like if you go and check out his career stats it is fucking legitimately insane he only ever won one hart. i think he scored a goal a couple hours ago in kladno actually.

3. connor mcdavid. 3rd all time in p/pg. awkward. ginger. about as many assists as the second best in his draftyear (mitch) has points. perfect to me. if he wins a cup before the leafs im going to kill myself (oilers cup 2k24 you heard it here first)

2. mario lemieux. being top 10 in points all time with less than 1000 games played is insane. the next player on the all time points ranking with fewer than 1000 games is peter stastny, who is 42nd AND HAS PLAYED MORE GAMES THAN MARIO LEMIEUX

wayne gretzky. it's wayne gretzky

The New York Rangers were founded on May 15, 1926.

[neon-danger]

idk what that is but I haven't even read an x reader fanfic for anything despite dreaming like that a lot.

I often dream that one of the members of all time low is secretly in love with me but I have never once actually cared to read an x reader

The Great Pegasus Cluster, M15 // Buddha2490

I haven't seen any MLP Doctor AU designs past Capaldi's era and I really think that's such a shame! So here's my take on the 13th, 14th and 15th Doctor :o]

Once again love to ramble about certain design choices!

Since the 13th Doctor wears ear jewellery depicting a golden and silver hand holding each other, I thought it'd be fun to change that into 2 horseshoes instead! I also gave a heavier focus on the more subtle rainbow on her coat because I feel it'd be more fitting for a MLP AU and something that could make the design a bit more balanced. I'd also tried to make her blue at first, but felt yellow actually felt more like the 13th somehow.

I decided to give 14 his iconic Doctor Whooves design, with the only difference being messier hair and some rough facial hair. I was definitely looking at it more with a nostalgia factor, which ultimately fits perfectly with what the 60th anniversary specials ended up being!

15 was a toughie, I'm not going to lie. A thing about MLP AUs I tend to dislike, is when an artist gives them the same colour as their skin. It tends to look silly with white characters, but I've noticed it's seen (at least USED to be) as less silly when it's with darker skinned characters. So with that in mind I wanted to make 15 the general colour he's themed to have in promotional material (orange and blue) and make it darker! ... but dark orange IS brown. So after some tinkering I decided to base his colour on the more earthy red Ncuti wears in this image.

I also decided to tone his hair blue instead of going with black to really hammer in that orange/blue theme 15 has!

Thank you for reading this far! I'm really passionate about this sorta stuff so it really means a lot :oD

Hi! I noticed that your requests were open and I love the way you write Malleus so I was hoping you would do yandere malleus x reader. where the reader knows twisted wonderland is a game (but not imposter au pls) and after they got isekia'd are trying to stop the overblots from happening and malleus is just terrified for them. Idk just an idea I've had for awhile but never found a fanfic like lol. Obviously it's totally fine if you don't want to do it or if I accidentally broke a rule. Anyway remember to drink some water and take a break if needed! Have a amazing rest of your day/night!!

Warning: Yandere (not really, not at all). Gender-neutral reader.

Characters: Malleus Draconia.

Summary: MC sees affection meters and it's not good.

Note: These are mainly thoughts and random words my mind spewed out.  

How did one claim victory at a game? Well, it entirely depended on the game, the mechanics and the options. It should've been impossible to lose a mobile game that was primarily composed of the gacha mechanism and visual novels.

When you suddenly found yourself in the series of twisted villains in a prestigious school of magic, you found that it was much more complex than it appeared on screen. Especially when only you could see these small bars occasionally floating above people's heads. Bars which you recognized as affection meters, nearly all of them stagnant at a dull gray 0% when you first arrived. This was the hurdle blocking your way to an easy victory. Because how else were you to escape the game, other than complete it?

Situations became messier, when you didn't have a dialogue options between two mere choices. Add making good impressions and keeping a character's favor, to the list of quests alongside avoiding death by inky overblotted characters. By some miracle, you had increased the affection of the characters you met and interacted with to a healthy 5% or 10%, sometimes more. At any cost you wished to avoid getting in the negatives, because you did not want to find out what would happen then.

Sometimes, the numbers would drop dangerously close to zero, mainly when an overblot was occuring. Never had you realized how the visual novel failed spectacularly at portraying the utter horror of the overblotted in all their wicked glory. The black inky darkness leaking from them like tears or blood with those crazed unhinged looks in their eyes–– was the stuff of pure nightmares.

And yet the one whose overblot you had been dreading the most, the dorm leader of Diasomnia, was surprisingly docile as you dealt with others. However, you knew even when conversing with him, that you would one day witness him overblot and look like some ethereal but deadly fallen angel. So mentally you prepared yourself, while taking on the task of keeping up appearances.

Malleus' affection meter, was a good 20% and a friendly pink shade, quite the accomplishment you were proud of, considering the majority of the cast wasn't even at 15%. The Draconia heir was certainly someone you never wanted to see reach below zero, so you did your absolute best to appeal to him, even if he was quite intimidating at first with the way he stoically watched you complain about the least of your worries, homework and classes.

By the time you spoke to him about your troubles with the Ramshackle dorm and Azul, during what you knew was the Octavinelle arc, the prince's affection had sprouted to a 22%. When you went into more detail of the potential loss you could face, it went to 23%.

The next time you saw him, you were weary and antsy since witnessing Azul's break-down. If the blot of his tears had the magic to gather, it would've been enough to drown, you were sure of it. Even by that maniac look in his eyes, you're sure he would've purposely drowned you if he got close enough.

Throughout that charlatan's chapter, his affection meter had slowly been rising, dropping during the overblot like the tides only to rise once again by the end to a good 45%. This was good!

But no matter how much you may have pondered, strategized, or try to predict each next action, you could've never guessed that the next time you saw Malleus after Azul's overblot, his expression taut with concern, his affection meter had made a jump to 55% and turned red. This entire time you had been avoiding the negatives, but you never once worried of the dangers and implications a red affection meter above 50% would mean for you. Or heaven forbid, anything close to 100%.

I remember being a really young teen (atleast 15) and I decided to make a trans character because I wanted my art to include others around me like my peers, only for that to snowball into a calculated attack(I spoke with the people and they said it was on purpose) because I made that specific character based off my friends... looking back at it now it just infuriates me.

I think trans characters of all kinds should exist especially the messier kinkier/hornier and gnc ones because as a trans person, we are not just a checklist of things, we are our own unique individuals.

The Hat Man Cometh....

Whew! A while ago I resolved to do a main OC costume bingo (ive already done it in doll form 🤨) and after Pupet and Sulu, it was finally Rem's turn.

About this costume, the primary fabrics are velvet, satin, and dupioni from fabric wholesale direct. The eyes are either repainted googly eyes or glass cabochons. also dont hate me but i did edit my eyes bc you couldnt pay me to mess around with full sclera contacts.

About the OC, Rem belongs to a story about a dreaming kingdom and nightmare realm, where the dream kingdom is trying to lull people into permanent sleep. Rem works to counteract that force as the last nightmare acolyte, serving the nightmare lord Raken. he is in a very real sense: The Hat Man. Giving people nightmares is a messy job, and Rem is even messier mentally, but I enjoy writing him because of it. He also only dresses like this 15% of the time in cerimonial nightmare garb, he usually rocks a literal T-shirt and jeans.
