Chevrolet Astrovettes, 1969. The crew of Apollo 12 - astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean - ordered custom-painted Corvette C3s. Each astronaut ordered a matching Corvette Stingray coupe, powered by 390hp, 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 engines with 4-speed wide-range transmission and PosiTraction 3.08 rear axles. Bean (the fourth person to walk on the moon who passed away in 2018) played a key role in the design of the Corvettes, choosing the black on gold color scheme. The design included distinctive black “wings” styled by Alex Tremulis, the industrial and automotive designer. The C3 Corvettes became known as the Astrovettes with the only difference between the cars being the red, white, and blue badges on each fender used to identify which car belonged to which astronaut

A Fishy First Date

kageyama tobio x reader words; 1071 synopsis; a favor gone wrong, or hilariously right. kageyama believed it to be the latter.

“How do you feel about going on a date with my cousin?” Nishinoya asked calmly, which was the first sign to Kageyama that something was extremely wrong here.

“A date with your cousin?” Kageyama spun the volleyball around in his hands, he was going to start his cool down but was intercepted by Nishinoya���s request.

“Yeah, she’s pretty cool. But hasn’t been on a date before, so like, I was wondering if you could take her out on one. You know, as your favorite third year it would mean a great deal.” Nishinoya examined his nails, before looking back to Kageyama.

Kageyama thought about it, and didn’t say anything.

“3, 2, 1, Okay thanks for taking her on a date, no take backs!” Nishinoya blurted out and ran out of the gym, his shoes squeaking slightly against the floor. Kageyama just stared at the space where Nishinoya had previously occupied. As much as he wanted to tell Noya that he wouldn’t do it, his sense of pride was too strong for him not to take the girl on a date.

He just didn’t expect her to be so cute.

Hinata had explained to Kageyama that he should take her on a memorable date, something that would make her remember it vividly. Seeing as Kageyama was both a second year, and his wallet practically had flies fly out of it when he opened it, Kageyama knew he couldn’t do anything too crazy for the date. So, he settled for the aquarium.

Sitting on the bench inside the aquarium, Kageyama looked around for the girl he had been texting frequently.

Nishinoya thought that it would be better if his cousin didn’t know about the little arrangement, so Nishinoya gave Kageyama her number and told him to make conversation. At first it was awkward, trying to avoid why he had her number and making his introduction. Soon the stumbles of beginning interactions turned into a flowing friendship.

Even so, Kageyama actually started to worry over asking her out on a date. But he reasoned that he was doing it as a favor to Nishinoya.

“Kageyama?”

Even her voice is pretty, he thought. From the way his family name rolled off her tongue and lightly left its mark on her lips.

“Yeah, hey.” Kageyama held out his hand, but she just pushed his arm down and gave him a big hug. That’s when the family resemblance clicked with Kageyama. He cleared his throat and smiled lightly.

“It’s nice to see the person that I’ve been talking to for all this time.” He offered his thoughts as bait for her to take.

“Definitely. Now c’mon! I want to see the jellyfish!” She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the large tank.

As she peered over the glass to stare at the creatures, Kageyama stuffed his hands in his pockets and smiled at her even though she couldn’t see his face. After the jellyfish, Kageyama took the chance to take her to the touch pool, knowing that she liked stingrays a lot from how she talked about them when they texted three or so weeks ago. She rolled up her sleeve and ran her fingers against the smooth backs of the stingrays.

“Are you going to even try and touch them?” She asked, putting her wet hand on her hip, ignoring the way her shirt became slightly damp and stuck against her skin. Kageyama shook his head.

“Animals don’t tend to like me very much.” He admitted with his face heating up.

He found it embarrassing how easily he was able to say the truth without a mask of false confidence around her. She stuck out her tongue slightly, biting it in a thoughtful manner.

“A stingray is technically a fish. If that makes a difference. Here, there’s no reason to be scared.” She took his hand and placed her hand over his and submerged both of their hands under the water. When a stingray floated up closer to his hand Kageyama tried to pull his hand out, but she just pressed back down and made him touch the wing.

The rich, delicate skin of the stingray was cold and almost freezing when Kageyama’s fingers skimmed the wing.

“How is it so smooth?” Kageyama asked, facing her, and when he did, he realized just how close she was to him. He liked that she was this close to him. He forgot that this date was supposed to be a favor, because he thought that a favor for someone shouldn’t cause him this much joy.

“I don’t know, but it's wicked awesome isn’t it?”

He liked that she talked to him like she was happy about life. She spoke like the world was made of endless ways to be joyful. The opportunities to be satiated were endless.

After the aquarium, he decided to prolong his time with her by taking her to get ice cream. When Kageyama had accidently got his strawberry ice cream on his nose, she laughed and wiped away the food with her thumb. Kageyama may or may not have bumped her elbow when she went in for more of her own ice cream so he could do the same.

“Thanks for asking me out on this date.” She swung their interwoven hands back and forth as Kageyama showed her around a park he grew up around.

“Thanks for letting me take you out on one.” Kageyama squeezed her hand. And she squeezed back twice, causing him to chuckle at her antics.

“This was actually my first date.” When Kageyama opened his mouth, she covered her face and interrupted him, “Just forget I said that okay? Goodness, I find ways to embarrass myself all the time.”

Kageyama removed her hands from her face, lifting her chin so she could meet his gaze.

“It was my first date too.” He was being honest. “But I want my second and third, and fourth, and fifth, and a bunch of others. I want them to all be with you.”

Maybe watching all those dramas with his older sister did have an effect on his ability to smooth talk. He would have to tell Miwa all about the date.

“What about your first kiss?” She stood on her tiptoes, pressing her hands onto his chest.

“Haven’t had one yet.”

“Since you gave me my first date, how about I give you your first kiss?”

“Seems fair to me.”

Willow: ... Care to explain how this Happened?

Stingray!faunus Weiss: *Is Pregnant*

Shark!faunus Jaune: W-Well, when two people love each other very much and they're compatible ...

A sting ray in a North Carolina Aquarium has become pregnant despite there being no male Rays in the tank. It is believed this occurred either through Parthenogenesis (Production of viable eggs without a mate) or due to a small species of shark that was moved into the same tank.

"What are you laughing about?"

"Oh, sorry. I just realized I started acting like him."

Oh, have you? Didn't notice. 😆

I thought using a squid curse to block a shot by a Zenin and riding on a string-ray curse and among other things seemed familiar!

because @vettelracing​ said I could always make a post, and I’m not immune to peer pressure : tattoo tour! I immediately made an appointment when I turned 18, and my first tattoo was a koi fish in watercolour style wrapping around my lower left leg (ankle to a few cm below my knee.) the artist was amazing and overall a great experience for a first tattoo. I also have a little tulip right above my ankle, which I got done right before moving to Canada. Gotta rep the Dutch aesthetic, I guess? On my lower right leg I have a two headed snake with violets and forget-me-not flowers as a memorial piece to my twin (violets being the February birth flower.) A bee (an inside joke) a kingfisher bird, a peony flower, and a mushroom. The mushroom is an homage to my paternal family, seeing as they used to be mushroom farmers back in the day! There’s a fox on my right ribs (don’t recommend that as a placement. And this is the only tattoo of mine I’m very meh about. I forget it’s there half the time.) My lower left arm has a branch on it, and a maple seed right above my elbow facing back (for my paternal grandfather, who used to walk me up to the castle in my hometown when I was a kid so we could toss them down and watch them spin)

My right arm has two acorn (for my maternal grandfather, who took me to pick acorns in fall and taught me how to whistle with the caps) with the same placement as the maple seed. For my lower right arm I have the wand of my favourite HP character (Gilderoy Lockhart, if you’re wondering.) But since no one knows what his wand looks like it’s generally assumed it’s a sword. Also yes I’m aware JKR is disgusting and I do not support her, I just have my reasons, okay.

Then, on my right collarbone, I have a little ladybug. My best friend has the same one on her left. I also have a fat baby bird on my left shoulder, which is also dedicated to her.
