A few pages of Neil Gaiman's NORSE MYTHOLOGY. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this. It is very similar to the stylistic approach I am taking with GOOD OMENS - line art with color, though I think the art on GOOD OMENS is better overall.

The adaptation on this was by P Craig Russell, and the artists, including me, worked from Russell's layouts, which were very simple but perfectly designed.

The third volume in which my segment appears is now on sale. There is some great work by P Craig Russell, Galen Showman, and David Rubin in there. I particularly like David Rubin's color sense, it's just stupendous.

I was so busy being a depressed sad-sack piece of shit that I completely forgot this had shipped until the UPS guy tossed it on my front porch as I was getting ready to leave for work today.

Lyrics: On the shore, at sundown At a harbor far from town A girl stands alone, dressed in brown and grey By this sea, deep and slow, There's a spell from long ago A secret we know but never say

You must whisper your wish To a little parchment roll And the bottle it goes into At twilight, go pray Let the sea take it away One day it will come true

Little bottle of glass, May my wish come to pass May my sins wash away with the falling tide Beyond sound, beyond sight Towards the dying light Like me, quietly cast aside

I was cruel and didn't see What you sacrificed for me To bring everything that I asked of you I was cold, I was vain And I never felt your pain After what I made you do

And now you are gone, And you're the only one Who'll make my wish come true My grief and heartache May the sea take them away Until the day I see you

Little bottle of tears, All my hopes and my fears Drifting further away with the falling tide Beyond faith, beyond fate May it not be too late May my tears pay the price of my pride

Little bottle of glass, May my wish come to pass May my sins wash away with the falling tide Beyond sound, beyond sight Towards the dying light Like me, quietly cast aside

Little bottle of tears, All my hopes and my fears And regret for the years that I spent in sin

If by some happenstance, somewhen in our next lives I would like a chance to play with you one more time

[delta-orionis]

ooo i love an astronomy iterator! i also thought the lack of any information about outer space in rainworld was weird too so an ittie to fill that void (haha) is really cool.

anyway, the actual ask: what are some of Stars’ favorite objects they’ve observed?

I've seen a bunch of other people with astronomy-related iterators too, and I think they're all really neat!

To give a bit of a long-winded answer to your question:

Rain World is a game about cycles, and there are a lot of cycles in astronomy. Simple things like planets orbiting around a star, moons orbiting around a planet. There's also the stellar cycle of death and rebirth, with material from a dead star being recycled into the next generation of young stars. etc etc.

When I was conceptualizing Three Stars Above Clouds, I imagined that their ancients would place less of an emphasis on Void Fluid and the Void Sea as a means of ascension. They instead wanted to study other cycles out there in the universe, and they created a machine to help them do so.

TSAC is heavily based on the real-life Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which has a similar mission to survey the sky over long periods of time and look for patterns. TSAC would take a particular interest in objects that appear to be trapped in their own cycles, as well as those that seem to defy their cycles.

I personally don't think Rain World's planet is Earth, and thus any Rain World astronomers might not be able to see the same things we can in the night sky. But putting that aside for the moment... here's some examples of things I think Three Stars Above Clouds would enjoy looking at:

P Cygni (aka The Revenant of the Swan) is a blue hypergiant variable star in Cygnus that was first observed in the 1600's. It's a type of star called a Luminous Blue Variable, which are huge, bright stars with unpredictable, often extreme changes in brightness. TSAC would probably like this star because it's full of surprises.

Delta Cephei in Cepheus, a Cepheid Variable star (and the namesake of Cepheid Variables as a classification). Cepheid variables are extremely useful tools for astronomers because their brightness is closely linked to the rate at which they pulsate. TSAC would probably like this one for the opposite reason than P Cygni, because it's very stable.

The Crab Nebula in Taurus, a cloud of gas and dust left behind by an exploded star. The star's corpse, a pulsar, is at the center, and spins extremely quickly, about 30 times per second. This one might be interesting to TSAC because it represents the cycle of death and rebirth- the gas from this star will probably go on to make new stars in the future, but the star's corpse is also left behind, never truly dead, continuing to influence the space around it.

Something I've thought a lot about is the parallels between iterators and stars; they can support entire ecosystems, as well as destroy them, just like stars. Stars are also inherently tied to a cycle of death and rebirth, with their atoms recycled generation after generation. Some stars escape the cycle- namely the ones that go supernova, tearing themselves apart, sometimes even collapsing into a black hole.

I'll probably elaborate more on this in the future, but I do have the idea of comparing Moon and Pebbles to binary stars. Certain binary star pairs end up with one essentially devouring the other, killing their companion slowly, until they eventually go supernova and destroy themselves, leaving only their dying companion behind.

And Sliver of Straw is a dying star that became a black hole. Black holes are the corpses of stars that literally distort space and time around them long after said star is gone, leaving behind nothing but a singularity.

Three Stars Above Clouds' research primarily focuses on learning about these cosmic cycles: what causes them, and how they can be disrupted. Maybe the Solution isn't in the stars, but at the very least it could point TSAC in the right direction, and might help them and the rest of their kind escape the Cycle eventually.

Happy Valentine's Day!! 💝 (+ long personal ramble lmao)

Well I did intend on posting earlier than this, but I wanted to wish a big happy Valentine's to everyone who actually follows along with the random crap that I post on this site-- and an especially big hug to all of my fellow aspec, arospec, and aroace lovelies!! I've always valued the celebration of all forms of love on February 14th, whatever dumbass society that we live in who decided that it's strictly a holiday for romantic couples can show themselves out the mfing door. Romantic love, platonic love, familial love, s*xual love, queerplatonic love, polyamorous love, animal love, ALL types of feeling & showing love are so wonderful and deserve to be celebrated!! If you feel sad about being single on Valentine's Day, don't let our stupid economy blind you to how loved you are in many different ways by many different people!! 🫶

On that note, this year marks a very meaningful occasion for me personally. I'm currently 21 years old, I learned I was asexual when I was 16 and didn't understand that I was arospec too until I was 20. I've always been totally content either celebrating Valentine's Day with my close friends, or basically ignoring the day all together. But as of last summer, I am now in my first Queerplatonic relationship with my incredible partner @rubinaitoart (and our beloved @lovelucigoosey, who is always with us 🎗️🩵) and I thought that today would be a fitting day to finally proclaim my cheesiness online lol! Rubin, I love you so so much and I'm seriously so lucky to have you. Thank you for being my very first Valentine's Day partner, for making me feel so loved I nearly happy-cry every time, and for just always being your supportive, talented, caring, funny, amazing and beautiful self!! 💜💜💜 /p

My patience to see your smile and give you the biggest hug face-to-face is dwindling with every day, but also knowing that we will get there someday is one of my favourite things to think about :'D To my online besties, Checkmate or otherwise, thank you for being the best long-distance found family I could ever ask for!! Every one of you guys means the world to me, I'm so grateful that you all put your care and energy toward a little chatty bundle of emotions like me. My bucket list purely consists of a list of each of you guys, and I will not quit until I get to properly see and hug all of you or else your name is not getting checked off of the bucket list!! But yeah fr thank you guys I fuckin' love my friends I don't know how I got so lucky 🥹💕

To my kittens (not that I expect they'll be reading this), thank you for being such little fluffballs of joy and chaos. Thank you for coming upstairs and insisting to check on me when I have been face-deep in homework for 6 hours, and for dragging me away for cuddles whenever I need it. To my parents (who definitely won't be reading this XD), thanks for being some badass and wonderful parents.

To Luci, I mean I check in pretty often so you probably already know what I'm gonna say. I hope you're happy, I hope you're smiling, I hope you're running and I hope you're free of pain. Love you always boo 🩵

I just have so much love in my heart that I wish I could share as much as possible. I love my family and my kittens and my friends from university who help keep me somewhat sane. I love my Discord friends/found family who help keep me very sane, and are always there to make me laugh and to celebrate achievements together. I love my queerplatonic boyfriend/partner, I love his voice and his hair, I love his obsession passion for The Arcana, I love his fluffy puppy Aster, I love how he makes me smile and that I'm capable doing the same.

Thanks guys. I really really love you all ❤️

...

(Also I haven't slept in like 38 hours and I'm struggling to stay awake as I write this so I hope it is at all legible, it's probably too long but quite frankly if you read the entire thing and made it all the way down here then massive kudos to you. I did warn that I was chatty and emotional, those two traits never go well together 😂)

Olivia P wasn’t at the white party. No way all her friends post and she’s not in any pictures they took. I know people in the burrowsphere gassed her up to fit a narrative but the only time I’ve ever seen her come up online is because she’s often grouped with the models who get deals because of their followers and not their talent. She is gorgeous though

We have asked if the user that sent this to us would like credit, we haven't heard back yet so until then, thanks Anon!

They found a video of Olivia Ponton at a different party in the Hamptons. So, while we cannot say for 100% certainty she didn't attend the Rubin party, it seems likely she skipped it.
