This image, taken with the VLT Survey Telescope hosted at ESO’s Paranal Observatory, shows the beautiful nebula NGC 6164/6165, also known as the Dragon’s Egg. The nebula is a cloud of gas and dust surrounding a pair of stars called HD 148937.
In a new study using ESO data, astronomers have shown that the two stars are unusually different from each other — one appears much younger and, unlike the other, is magnetic. Moreover, the nebula is significantly younger than either star at its heart, and is made up of gases normally found deep within a star and not on the outside. These clues together helped solve the mystery of the HD 148937 system — there were most likely three stars in the system until two of them clashed and merged, creating a new, larger and magnetic star. This violent event also created the spectacular nebula that now surrounds the remaining stars. Credit:
ok i don't wanna share actual details from the fic im writing because then i will be less motivated to finish it. but. i will say, i have so much respect for the people who write long case fics. that shit is so hard
a guy having friends over politely excuses himself and goes into the other room. he plays one tense and emotionally devastating round of russian roulette. he then returns to the subdue but still jovial gathering like nothing ever happened.
it is tempting to assume btw that harry is "the most mentally ill man in the world!!!!" or whatever, but he's probably the average level of mentally ill for people in his situation. he isn't this uniquely monstrous wreck who abuses more substances than anyone else ever has. in martinaise alone you can meet like 5 people who are doing even worse than harry. kim says several times that he's seen much worse than day one harry and i BELIEVE him. i think harry wasn't immediately fired from the police after the unsolveable case bc this stuff is relatively normal for cops to do in precinct 41. disco elysium isn't pointing at harry and going "gawk at this uniquely awful man for no reason!! isn't he horrible in a clownish way!!" they're making a point abt the effects of capitalism and imperialism on the disenfranchised poor
yes this is about the cannibalism harry au. ive decided to not make him a serial killer in my vaguely consistent alternate universe so my fic clean hands is a one off (which is named after the quote kim says after the hanged man says 'we should do this more often')
and of course if anyone's wondering, these quotes are the vibe i'm going for
also new tag for my blog? #more often au because i cant think of something creative bc this is more specific than simply cannibal harry in my opinion
