The Bad Sanses somehow ended up in the Backrooms. №13

next 14

prev 12

Sometimes I use AI for background images. This time, the generation really pleased me, since it perfectly hit what I wanted :D

I get immense pleasure from the fact that my skill is gradually improving! I could never have imagined that I would be able to draw all these folds in clothing and shadows decently. I am especially proud of Dust and Horror 💫

Hah, under the first drawing with "The Bad Sanses somehow ended up in the Backrooms", I wrote that everything would be cute, but here we are: Dust is a lepidopterist, Nightmare can be killed by water, and Cross has fungal spores on his face. Half of the group has been changed by Backrooms in some way (evil laughter of the Creator).

I decided that my experiment with the story from different characters is unreasonable to continue: it is difficult, and the text becomes artificially too long and confusing. Plus, I find it hard to keep track of the English version of the text.

This is the translation of the another post from Russian to English. I understand English, but it is very difficult for me to write in English, so I asked chat GPT to help me. I have corrected some parts, but there still may be mistakes.

A human suddenly emerged from the nearest room. At first, he seemed not to notice the presence of strangers. They all stared at each other for a few seconds, until Killer waved his hand in greeting (the blade of the knife glinted brightly). The human hesitantly greeted them all in return.

The man's name was Enrico. He was afraid that the group of skeletons was his hallucination. He had been alone on this level for too long. Even with the support of psychologists, whom he was able to contact via the internet, loneliness was killing him. And tactile hunger: he couldn't let go of Cross's hand after the handshake, and the firm claws of Horror made him cry with happiness. Killer kept the conversation going, but didn't come close. Dust and Error kept their distance from Enrico. They were wary of people who wanted to touch them (Nightmare had enough of a cocktail of negative emotions).

Enrico told them everything he knew about the current level. He also offered his new acquaintances a smartphone as a gift. Among the production rooms on the level, there was one that produced electronics, so the gift was not valuable to Enrico. But now the guys didn't have to look for full-fledged computers (thank you, Enrico, you helped me a lot).

Error studied the code of the level. Even after seeing that strange map in the room where Enrico lived, he couldn't accurately say how the entrances and exits worked here. It seemed that the level was carried through the Backroom, seeping through the pores of other levels, capturing a resident if the old one died. Some kind of level-prison for one. But there was also a cosmos here. And that strange planet outside the window.

Dust watched the white dwarf in the viewport for a long time. It seemed unusual to him. Its appearance was more reminiscent of the surface of a plant lamp than the surface of a star. He thought that the solution to the problems could be there.

Nightmare instructed Cross and Horror to accompany Enrico and seize as many goods as possible for their use. The level produced valuable resources for trade, and simply leaving it would be extremely foolish. Especially since, for the faint hope of leaving this place, the man agreed to do anything (Nightmare enjoyed playing on his emotions).

Finally, they stepped out into open space. The magical skeletons coped well with the lack of air (well, they are made of magic, I can't do anything about that). They wrapped Error's threads around Enrico, who remained in a safe spot. The blue magic helped them move forward in turns. The closer they got to the star, the stronger the sense of wrongness grew.

Eventually, they spilled out onto another level (Error, who was loading, confirmed it). Enrico appeared nearby as well. The endless cosmos turned out to be quite limited, despite the infinite number of rooms inside the space station. The star was simply a round hole in space. The light that seeped through the crowns of the trees reflected off the mirror-like surface of the white marble pedestal. From a distance, it looked like a glowing white planet.

It seemed that they had found a way out of level 15. But not an entrance. The hole in space disappeared immediately after they exited it.

Enrico was so happy with the change of scenery that he fainted. The group left him there, taking the blue strings. They didn't need a new member. It was just a deal.

The new level resembled a forest and ruins. Mostly forest, with a smaller portion of ruins. There were so many plants that they grew on top of each other. Some trees had branches so large and old that a layer of fertile soil had formed on them.

As bad gays ventured further, they discovered animals: birds and snakes, a couple of spiders, traces of dogs or wolves. Killer even managed to catch a bright finch for entertainment. But the animal quickly bored him. Cross turned out to be much more interesting.

One of the provocations made Cross stumble. A colorful stream sprayed in his face. The way he squealed in surprise and the intense burning around his eyes amused Killer.

Cross needed help (otherwise he would become useless). Horror rinsed the affected area with Almond Water. The burning subsided, but the bright color remained. Killer found it amusing to compliment the Backroom on the stylish eye shadows. And since they now had smartphones, Cross could start a beauty blog. Or slowly turn into a zombie if it was a special type of cordyceps fungus. The situation seemed to amuse him.

Only Nightmare managed to silence Killer, binding the jester with tentacles and tossing him into the depths of the forest like a bag of trash (if Cross became useless, Nightmare would break Killer's tailbone).

But, it seemed that aside from the inappropriate bright color on the bones, the fungal spores posed no danger. At least that's what Dust said, who accidentally stained one of his butterflies in the liquid.

On this level, as far as they knew, there could be human outposts. This meant that the exits they had explored might be inaccessible to them if they couldn't resolve everything peacefully. Although after interacting with Enrico, their group didn't consider the people in this place too dangerous. The prisoner of level 15 was content that the skeleton group wasn't his hallucination. He paid no attention to anything else. It seemed they had overestimated the danger posed by humans. Perhaps it was worth trying to enter one of the residential areas?

But Error seemed to have spotted a suitable exit.

You pop up in my notifs every so often often so hi hi

12, 9 (crucial information) and 2

2. Which planet is your favourite?

As I said previously, my favourite planet would - and should - be 61 Virginis e (its inhabitants call it “Astra-Baalsa”); however, technically speaking, Astra-Baalsa only exists in a saga I am working on when depression allows me to. So far, terrestrial astronomers have only found two planets orbiting 61 Virginis (in Astra-Baalsa, people call this star "Sol Deorum"), albeit there is a third hypothetical exoplanet that can be considered. So, there is no 61 Virginis e - just 61 Virginis b, c and, eventually, d.

Since this is a fictional planet, let’s talk about real celestial objects, shall we?

I know it’s a dwarf planet, but Ceres fascinates me deeply, since it is completely different from any other. In our Solar System, it’s the only dwarf planet that it’s not a plutoid; to make things even more interesting, it is also considered an asteroid - albeit one that contains 40% of the mass of the entire Asteroid Belt.

Now, if you want me to ignore dwarf (and fictional) planets, my answer would (probably) be Mercury. Because no one would ever choose poor Mercury, the only planet in the Solar System that is smaller than not one, but two moons (Ganymede and Titan).

9. What is your favourite tea?

It changes periodically, even if there is a flavour that I absolutely abominate: ginger.

Currently, I feel in the mood for olive leaves tea, but, in two weeks, it can be something else: rosemary, nettle, lemon balm, lemon verbena or the good ol’ black tea.

But never ginger. Never.

12. Where would you like to go on your next vacation?

I was meant to go to Milan in September, but a serious family issue forced me to postpone that trip sine die. Actually, currently, all trips are hypothetical, unless they are absolutely necessary.

However, if the world was a fair place, I would love to travel to... Austria was the first country that popped into my head. Sadly, I suspect that will not be possible in the nearby future.

(thank you - and hi for you too, it's a genuine honour to have you here)

helloooo, the spopera has me in a choke hold, so would you mind sharing your favourite detail of the story or world or overall *waves hand vaguely* AU thingamybob :D

(fully take this as an invitation to go nuts, i love rants)

HELLO TUMBLR USER VICTORIANTREECAT i am so sorry it took me over a month to reply to this it is because i am forgetful </3 pls know that we love and cherish your asks every time they come in

i’ve had doc on the brain recently so!! Doc Thoughts 4 You. these are a bit rough and all over the place forgive me ashdkfhdjdhs

if you ask the folks at a certain lonely, backwater interplanetary hub, they’ll say the fellow who docks his solo ship and buys out the spare parts shop roughly once a year must be a recluse; some kooky old bastard who lives alone in the voids of deep space. probably has a self-sustaining mothership anchored to some asteroid out there, with how little he visits — it’s not like there’s any habitable planets nearby. only the real regulars can claim to have seen him, and the stories vary wildly: 8ft tall, no, 13ft! face and teeth made of metal, and a prosthetic eye that he can pop out and set off like a drone to fly around the hub, observing passerby with a piercing red glow. horns that can ram through the reinforced walls of a ship. a voice like the distant rumble of a burning star. massive, deadly claws and the stench of dirt and explosives, rocket fuel and redstone.

if you somehow ask the people he used to know before, they’d tell you he was insane. crazy ideas about hyperloop drives and shadow teleportation tech and mind control. a mad doctor, eventually run off into a self-imposed exile with a modified freighter ship. the last time anyone saw him, he was setting off to ransack a former human mining colony — deeply illegal, mind you. the species humans bring with them into their colonies are almost always highly invasive, and the mining site was set to be eradicated for having too many foreign livestock remaining on the hollowed-out planet. most assume that was the end for him: wiped out with the rest of the life on the old colony, in some mad, ill-fated quest to grab some illegal flora or fauna for whatever esoteric purposes.

if you ask doc himself, sitting on the porch of a scrap-metal shack on the purportedly-uninhabitable dwarf planet Hr-MT-77, he will tell you quite proudly that he is a goat farmer.

you politely don’t mention the modified pitchfork that can channel lightning from stormy skies, or the massive, towering array of antennas and satellite dishes that scramble all navigational signals that come anywhere near this sector of space. you don’t mention the acres of lush green farmland on a dwarf planet that’s never managed to sustain life on its own. there’s a baby goat chewing on your pant leg, wearing a little goat-shirt clumsily sewn together out of what seems to be the singed remains of a lab coat. later, doc quite casually tells the story of how he challenged a living planet and won and lost his arm for it afterwards, and you find that you wholeheartedly believe him.

———

now it’s time for the fun fact round:

doc’s prosthetic eye is VERY high tech. it allows him to see in more colors than the average knallan, who see mostly in varying shades of green. it also functions, as mentioned above, as a drone (basically like his freecam in minecraft), where he can detach it and send it buzzing around and take in a live video feed from it, audio included! while it’s out and about doc is unable to hear or see anything going on around his body, unaware of much other than physical touch.

doc's current situation is that he lives alone on a fuck-off mudball of a dwarf planet that barely exists on any official documentation. he's the only person there, as of now, and only a few people know about it. he can send and receive normal signals through his scrambling array, so he can pick up on interplanetary radio/tv broadcasts if he feels like it.

i don’t remember how much of general knallan (doc’s species) physiology we’ve shared with the public already but i’ll go over it again just in case. knallans are Big, furry dudes with six limbs — two powerful rear legs, two upper arms, and then a set of limbs in the middle that can function as arms or legs depending on need/mood/etc. when quad, doc is about ~8ft tall, and when standing up on his hind legs he’s roughly ~10ft tall.

knallans, as a very last-resort defense mechanism, have natural pockets of explosive glands that can be activated at will to create concentrated explosions in specific parts of their bodies. it’s rough, but survivable. altho given that they live in a setting with sci-fi tech and FTL travel, the need to employ this has gone down drastically so most modern knallans never have to.

knallan fur is oddly plant-like and very suited to camouflage in their environments, which they can adapt to slowly over time. during the rainy season on Hr-MT-77, doc’s coat gets dark and lush, while during the dry season it pales and grows coarser. sick knallans even look a bit like they’re “wilting.”

still doc-themed but to the left i just think it’s SO important for u to know that baby knallans move kinda like this. just imagine a fluffy, three-foot long, six-limbed green weasel with nubby little horns and a stumpy little puff of tail and big clumsy paws and oversized, floppy goat ears that they haven’t quite grown into yet. that’s a baby knallan. (also according to @echotunes the word for a baby knallan would be “knällchen” which is just DELIGHTFUL to me)

anyways yes thank u so much I Care Him he loves being big and scary and intimidating and then throwing people off by playing silly about it like what?? me? the guy who did crimes against the laws of physics and basic engineering concepts?? whaaat no i’m just a simple goat farmer lol (he is clearly not a simple goat farmer you are not fooled and he knows you are not fooled and he’s grinning ear to ear about it)

#spopera spopera yeah spopera #space opera au #spopera au #victoriantreecat #im so normal about this au /lying #ty again for the asks this was fun to whip up even if i forgot about it for ages i am again so sorry agshdffkjnsfdl

The Force Awakens Breakdown

So I know no one gives a shit about my opinions on movies and my last post about the sequel trilogy [ST] But honestly I want to continue talking about these crap movies. So now that we got that through, lets start.

1) Jar Jar Abrams start this movie by basically ripping off the concept of the OT [Original Trilogy] The First Order [The empire] has taken over with a dark side user [Kylo Ren in this one, and Darth Vader in the OT] with a more powerful dark side user in the background pulling all the strings [Snoke and Creamy Sheeve respectfully] With an opposing side that happening to be small in numbers, [The Rebels and The Resistance(What they're resisting, no fucking clue, but it sounds nice)]

2) Rey Palpatine (I refuse to use the other name) is the protagonist of this story, and just so happens to live in a desert planet, you know like Luke. And happens to be the most laziest character Jar Jar and Kathleen Kennedy ever created. She's kind, and friendly and her only flaw is that she doesn't have any family. She's a scavenger, yet has so much proficient in the force, you would think she's been training for decades. She has great skill in flying ships and fixing them, that you would think, it would at least be a throwaway line. But nope, she has no reasoning for knowing how to fly or fix ships and the only reasoning we really have is that, Jar Jar wanted it, so he put it in. And throughout this movie and following ones, she picks up skills like their pokemon cards because fuck hard work. Now Rey pisses me off, not just because of her lazy character, but because during all the movies, nothing ever fucking happens to her, she doesn't get hurt to an extreme degree like Finn, She doesn't go through a huge revelation, all that happens is that Rey loses Han (someone she barely knows) then she magically beat Kylo,( who if you don't remember has years even decades over Rey in training) and then decides to find Luke. And that leads to the third problem...

3) The movie is too full. for being a movie that is 2 hours and 16 minutes, yes I fucking looked it up, this movie seems to drag on and not develop any of their concepts. Because while I fucking agree that Rian Johnson left fucking nothing for Jar Jar to work with, at least his story had some character development, and yes it dumb and breaks the world but I'll take what I can get. All the main characters in this movie all ends up the same as they start off with. Rey is a happy and kind character with no past, turns to Rey is a happy and kind character with no past and force abilities. Kylo Ren is tangled up Christmas lights drenched in yogurt and acid, and turns into a tangled up Christmas lights drenched in yogurt and acid, who ends up Killing his father. But if you remember is haunted by that death by TLJ [The Last Jedi] Poe Dameron is a self assured Spit-fired Pilot and ends up a Spit-fired self assured Pilot who's Not dead. Even the characters who do get develop, Finn and, oh my god, it's only Finn, get's completely rewritten in TLJ and gets the story arc redone just terribly. We can't even talk about Han, Leia or even Maz, because Han doesn't change and then dies, Leia doesn't get enough screen time to show anything about this character, and Maz is supposed to Yoda in a yellow and female clothing, and they do shit with that too because it leads to this..

4) Maz Kanata and holy fuck, she's literally the reason Han is dead. Maz yells very loudly to the entire cantina that Han Solo is here, which leads for the First Order to be notified. She somehow has Luke's lightsaber [It doesn't get explained, not even in the later movies] and somehow Rey is drawn to it, and leads to Maz giving advice, but you know the shitty type because it ends with Rey running away in the forest for her to get caught by Kylo. She tells Finn that he shouldn't leave, and that it turns makes him severely injured. And if you don't remember she does the same to Han, and he ends up dead. And her cantina gets fucking destroyed after being their for centuries, yet she couldn't give a fuck. and it shows the true issue, Jar Jar and Kathleen Kennedy in extent doesn't give a fuck about characters and just wants to to get from point A to point B with a lot of flashing lights.

5) Han Solo: Character Assassination. A character who developed into a man who was ready to risk it all for the rebellion. A character we loved in the OT is now broken down into his New Hope person all over again. Who apparently has scammed everyone in the galaxy? Um, Jar Jar, I know it might seem strange to you, but a smuggler needs people who trust him to get jobs and therefore receive income. But I guess I shouldn't expect much from the same man that think a Smuggler would want to be easily known or recognized. Also Leia and him are either broken up or divorced and that makes me feel really happy to know a couple that I loved are no longer together and one of this dead. Because Han Solo is just there for fan service and to shoot his gun, because that's what he's here for to go pew pew. Oh and to die, that what all the OT fans wanted, One of the main three characters killed by their own child.

6) Subtle doesn't exist in this movie, everything is given the delicacy of a hammer. We find out that Kylo or Ben, (I really don't fucking give a shit) is the son of Han solo, by Snoke just saying, the droid is in the possession of your father Han Solo, like no shit I assumed that when you mentioned the Millennium Falcon. Who would you think I thought Kylo was the son of, Chewbacca? Finn's story arc is the only one that makes you think, and brings a new aspect to the movies, and to the Stormtroopers. I just fucking wish we could do the same for the others Stormtroopers, because the other are killed with no regards that most of them, as Finn states were sold into this at a young age. Good job Resistance for killing all these people who was forced into this with no regards. How does a series that came like a decade before you (Star Wars: The Clones War Series) manage to develop the concepts that stormtroopers or clones are not mindless drones better than you. (The Rookie episode in the first season helps flesh out all the clones and they only have 25 minutes per episode, get you're shit together Lucas Films) And these are only the examples I could think of, off the top of my head.

7) Rey is a great example of Sexism, but instead it goes the other way around then usual. All the male characters are laughed at and or ridiculed, but all the females are perfect and don't need to change. One of the last scene is a great example of this, Kylo Ren, the one with years of training and two powerful masters who trained him, gets beat by Rey, someone who has no skill with a lightsaber and didn't even know she could use the force until Jar Jar decided to pull it out his ass. Even Finn who has at least close quarters fighting skills under his belt couldn't beat Kylo, and has to be saved by Rey. Now I will admit to being a feminist but Kathleen version completely differs from mine. Because while I believe both men and women are both capable of reaching the same level of skill, Kathleen think women should be able to do incredible things without working for it. And it clear by her stupid "The Force is female" Like shut the fuck up, the force was never given a gender, why the fuck are you doing it now? I also found out that most of the Crew in Lucas Film, happens to be female. and it's clear who's doing that. Again I am a feminist but I hate when people just have diversity for the sake of diversity instead of the person's capabilities. It's very vindictive of the Feminist movement, The Black Lives Movement and LGBT+ agenda as well, as we're trying to make people see them as just like everyone else which they fucking are (I will not stand for any form of bigotry and if you don't like something simply because of someone's race, gender or sexuality, you are shit human being) , they just so happen to not be a straight white man. And that they have the same struggles as everyone else. Also we already had strong female characters in the series without the big emphasis on the fact that they have a vagina. As from the basis, Star Wars was never about gender and because of this we got fully developed character we could relate to.

Now Dishonorable Mentions

A) This movie is fucking 2 hours and 16 minutes long, yet it feel so unfinished

B) Jar Jar Abrams deep seated love for mystery boxes and how it get more screen time then the actual Character it involves (Rey)

C) The movie could've been great, they're was definitely potential but it was dwarfed by mystery boxes and Visuals

D) Rey is not a Mary Sue in this Movie, she becomes one by the end of TLJ but she's not yet. So I guess it one positive.

E) Jar Jar inability for world Building, and doesn't even fucking tries to explain how the First Order even began to rise.

F) Poe Fucking Dameron, and the amount of time that is dedicated to him. I love him but come on, just make it someone like Han, as it could bring up the relationship between him and his son, which could then bring more emphasis when we reveal their relationship. But no lets bring up a character who we all assume is dead until about the end. And then does absolutely fucking nothing.

G) And Lastly when we see Han die, we don't get a scene of any of the characters we give a fuck about and who knows Han mourn his death, instead we just have two characters who had about 15 minutes of screen time with Han, and Chewbacca. And it doesn't get better because Rian Johnson decides in the second movie that we don't need a scene of Luke mourning over the man who fought side by side with him and is his Sister's husband. No Instead we get a scene of him drinking tit milk.

So that's it, well for now, I'll make another post for this if I have any more issues. But that it for now. I would also like to make it damn clear now, as I'll probably continue this, that me tearing apart a movie is based soley on the technical aspects of it. And that if you enjoyed this movie, you are entitled to it, but you cannot defend this movie's writing , because as I hoped I made clear, the writing is very much shit.

okay... I did enjoy watching it! the beginning was a little slow imo but then it just got more and more intense which was kinda nice. god, at some point the main guy kept making the wrong decisions and that was very frustrating to watch. the ending was alright, spoiler ahead (I guess) I would have liked the ending more if it was the exact same as the beginning, meaning that the movie is just one big time loop and the events from the movie were about to repeat themselves. but that's just my opinion🤷🏻‍♀️

6.5/10

10. space sweepers

starring: Song Joong-Kim, Kim Tae-ri, Seon-kyu Jin, Hyang-gi Kim, Richard Armitage, Ye-Rin Park

I really loved this movie. I cried like 6 times haha, which came unexpected. (or maybe it's because I'm suppose to get my period any day now) I did not think I was going to enjoy this movie as much as I did, at all. it was fun, it was exciting, it was sad (even my dad said that) the plot was good, the visual effects were amazing, it did feel like I was watching this movie for like 5 hours but not in a bad way and I am now kinda emotionally attached to the characters haha (I might do a rewatch). another thing I really liked was the language/synchronization. in the original version they speak mostly korean and english but also some other languages and it's the same in the synchronizations. the dialogue of the main characters is in the language you pick but every other character (I guess) is a different language and I absolutely love that. I highly recommend watching this!!

also, its was super weird seeing Richard Armitage not as a dwarf hahaha

10/10

11. christiane f.

A teen girl in 1970's Berlin becomes addicted to heroin. Everything in her life slowly begins to distort and disappear as she befriends a small crew of junkies and falls in love with a drug-abusing male prostitute.

starring: Natja Brunckhorst, Thomas Haustein, Jens Kuphal, Christiane Reichelt

I binged the series the other day and after the last episode this movie was in the "watch next" thingy idk and I thought "well, why not" and watched it. good movie, definitely!! I really liked that they didn't show the highs of doing heroin but focused on the negative effects it has on someone and what it's doing to your body. it is a super realistic but very very dark movie. the actors were all about 15/16 years old and looked very young which was a good and kinda disturbing thing because christiane and her friend were like 13/14 when that all happened and it made you realise that there were kids doing all that stuff

9/10

12. jurrasic world

A new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.

starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty simpkins, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio

13. jurassic world fallen kingdom

When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.

starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Isabella Sermon

I am tired and don't really want to say all that much other than both of them are very good and I do like them. good action/adventure movies. can definitely recommend them. I definitely like the first one more because it feels like (just a little bit) that the main story in the second one is the same as in the first one, someone creates a new dinosaur species to make more money and something goes terribly wrong along the way. but it's still entertaining!

jurassic wolrd: 7.5/10

jurassic world fallen kingdom: 7/10

Planet Alert July 2020

By Mahala’s Astrology

In my last article I talked about the July 4th eclipse. We are starting to move into that energy now which is a lunar full moon eclipse on July 4th at 9:29 PM PDT. This is on Saturday night and the sun will be on 13 degrees Cancer, which is right over Washington D.C. The moon will be on 13 degrees Capricorn which is over China. This is going to be a powerful full moon and with the sun over Washington D. C. I am sure there will be more chaos caused by our leaders. Mars will be in Aries on this eclipse so please keep your cool. Mars is considered the war planet and rules anger. A week after this full moon Mars will be squaring this eclipse degree and may trigger more strong energy. In other words, the energy from the end of June until July 14 will be a very intense time period.

This eclipse is on 13 degrees. The number 13 is the number of the Goddess and the Mayan Calendar is based on the number 13. In the Mayan calendar the time bandits from Jupiter and Saturn stole time and changed the number 13 to the number 12 so they could shut out the Goddess. They even ignored the 13th sign of the zodiac which is Ophiuchus/Asclepius which is the sign of Spider Grandmother who spun her web and controlled the other signs of the zodiac until her power was taken away. She is taking back her power now because there was a tremendous explosion in the Ophiuchus constellation on February 27, 2020. Here is a link to that explosion. Ophiuchus Supercluster explosion.

On this upcoming full moon Jupiter will be on 23 degrees Capricorn and Pluto will be on 24 degrees Capricorn and they are both in a square to Eris (the goddess of chaos). Pluto rules plagues, viruses, and bacterial infections. This 24th degree of Capricorn means a woman entering a Convent. No wonder we have been shut in for such a long period of time because of the virus. People are starting to get restless and that is one of the reasons they have been demonstrating. Jupiter will be retrograding away from Pluto in mid-July so maybe the virus will slow down until November when Jupiter again conjuncts Pluto. Then around the Winter Solstice Jupiter will be conjunct Saturn in the sign of Aquarius. This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The north node was in Cancer for a year and a half and in May the node moved into Gemini, which is a fast-acting sign and the demonstrations started. The north node is now on 28 degrees Gemini and the south node is in Sagittarius which is the sign of freedom. Now the north node is on the degree that means a release from unbearable pressures, freeing one for new tasks. We are at a turning point. The July 4th eclipse will be the last eclipse in Cancer for a long time. Cancer rules the home, family, and sickness. Gemini and Sagittarius rule freedom, which is an entirely different energy.

I think we will see much action from this July 4th lunar eclipse because Mars is in Aries on 4 degrees. This degree means the progressive polarization released by a sense of identification with a greater whole. Mars will be in Aries until January 6. 2021. Wow! Here in Seattle we have a new little city called CHAZ in the middle of our city. There is talk of this being taken down this weekend at the time of the full moon. Please send light to the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone or CHAZ. We do not need any more violence in our city. Thank you!

Wobble of VenusVenus, the Goddess planet, finished her 8 year cycle on June 3 and now she is in a new 8 year cycle. It takes Venus 8 years to create a 5 pointed star in the heavens which forms a beautiful design.

The tribulation talked about in the Bible started on December 26, 2004 with a large Tsunami in SE Asia that killed thousands of people. The tribulation started then because the dwarf planet Eris was announced on January 5, 2005 and she is the planet of chaos. We entered the era of chaos at that time and it continues until today. There was another large Tsunami in Japan in 2010 which was very destructive and there have been many large earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, flooding and fires all over the world. The chaos continues and the chaos has built up to the breaking point where there will be change before too long because out of chaos comes a new creation.

We are now in the Great Tribulation that is talked about in the Bible. We entered this time period on May 24, 2020 when the demonstrations started because of the death of George Floyd. Now we have a combination of the virus and the demonstrations all over the world. With Mars in Aries and the south node in Sagittarius, there will definitely be people standing up and demanding their freedom. This will include black people, white people, Chinese people and everyone else in the world. We are also in the time period of “Two people will be in a field, one will be taken and one will be left.” This separation is going on right now with the virus and by people choosing which time-line they want to be on. We are at the Time of the End.

The last 3½ plus years has been very chaotic because we elected a president who was born with his Saturn on 23 degrees Cancer in an exact square to Eris on 23 degrees Aries. He is the King of Chaos. We needed someone to create this great chaos because out of chaos comes a new creation. Because he is President of the USA, he seems to affect the whole world. Jer(usa)lem has the word (USA) in it. When the Bible talks about Jerusalem and the prophecies it is usually referring to the United States.

The line-up of planets in Capricorn in January indicated it was time for governments to change. Pluto is the planet that destroys things or takes them down. Pluto also rules viruses and bacteria infections. Pluto is in Capricorn which rules governments. Pluto has been in a square aspect to Eris for a while now and that has caused the virus and the transformation of our government. Pluto is now conjunct Jupiter which is a very large planet. This energy has caused the virus to go out of control so we are all wearing masks to keep from getting the virus. Jupiter will move into Aquarius in December so the virus will probably be gone by then.

I had a dream 10 years ago that first we were sleeping and when we woke up everything had changed and there was no government and we were setting up communities of light. This will probably happen on a higher frequency earth. Maybe we will just wake up on a new earth one day or maybe we will be transported by ships. We have gone through much dark energy in the past few months and now it is time to come into the light. The next and last prophecy is the return of the ships of light and the movement to the new earth. I am almost positive this will happen before the end of this year. I can hardly wait.

Hiiii 16 19 21 I don’t remember what they are but I hope you haven’t already done them!

Hello! I hope you are well! Please say hi to D and the kits for me.

16. If you could pick any planet besides earth, where would you live?

assuming i can breathe and get food and stuff, I’m going to ignore the planets and say any moon with the 100km+ deep ocean like Europa or Enceladus. Also shout out to Ceres my fave dwarf planet, she just chilling in the asteroid belt having water also, but not enough. Deep Deep DEEP ocean is where its at baby

19. What do you think our purpose is in the universe?

this is a dumb q I hate existential introspection its terrifying but the answer is to make a purpose/enrichment. its a weird happy accident we’re here at all so we should do as much stuff as we can about it.

21. Is there a song you can’t handle listening to, even though you like it?

Songs, not really. But books and movies yes, although that’s mostly because we live in Strange Times and I don’t have the emotional fortitude to engage with things that ask too much of me in the sense they make me wonder if I am living a good life and if I am ‘doing things correctly’ or if I just have to sit with a weird bundle of unrequited confused turmoil. I just live in my house I don’t have the fortitude for this bundle right now!!!

Summary: You’re just a girl who wants to have fun(d$) and live life and not have to worry about the stupid galactic war. Even though you are a school teacher for the Resistance, it doesn’t hurt to be a little bad sometimes.

“ It's Your Birthday and I'll Cry If I Want To”

Leia asked to see me in her office to discuss something about Bunhead or whatever. I walked to the office and the door slid open. Tentatively, I walked into see a holovid playing on her desk. I know I shouldn’t be looking at something so personal but, curiosity got the best of me. Moving closer, I could make out a child, a little boy to be exact. I could hear the high pitch yells of the exuberant tike; moving closer I saw he had wild black curls and large ears and beautiful big eyes, and I realized, it was him. I could feel my heart swell at the sight of him so young, so innocent, so carefree, so… happy. A clearing of the throat caused me to jump and see the General. “General,” I nodded and so did she. She quickly turned off the video and put it away. Before Leia could speak, I asked “Is that him? Is that your son?” Silence filled the room as she looked at the draw that hid the holovid. “He’s really cute.” Didn’t matter if it was pr esent or past tense, because it was true. “Do you miss him?” I asked. I was entering dangerous territories; speaking about him was off limits. “I do.” Those brown eyes seemed to glaze over. “Is it his birthday?” She was taken aback by this. “I-I don’t mean to cross the line, it’s just, around this time you always get so closed off.” I told her. There was more silence before I spoke, definitely feeling like I was about to cross the line. “You shouldn’t feel ashamed for loving him.’’ I guess this was also me talking to myself. “He is your son and you know him better than all of us.” Her eyes seemed to light up at my words. “He was a very curious child, liked adventures, always getting into trouble.” She spoke with a smile and I couldn’t help but wear one as well. Soon the meeting was long forgotten as she continued to speak about him.

The more I heard of his childhood, the more I yearned for something more. “I think you and Ben would’ve gotten along very well.” With wide eyes I stared at her with a breath caught in my throat. “Oh, thank you.” I mumbled strangely. What could I say, we actually did get along well. “Of course, I’m pretty sure there would’ve been trouble; I could see him bothering you while you taught the kids, like his father; you making him break Jedi code and both of you running off to some planet somewhere.” No lie, I was offended that she thought I would be trouble. If she only knew it was him causing all of that. She chuckled lightly, “I wish that was the case, he’s just a few years older than you, he’ll be thirty-” “HE’S THIRTY!” I yelled. I cleared my throat. “Sorry,” It was just I knew he was older than me, but I didn’t think more than five years. But, I guess seven years wasn’t too terrible. I mean only when I think about awkward pre-teen me and a probably gorgeous teen like him; I cringed just thinking about it. “Well, do you do anything for his birthday?” I asked. “It’s too bittersweet to reminisce about someone that’s everyone’s enemy.” She gave me a small smile. “He’s not my enemy.” It was true, I was just a teacher, never went on the field or crossed Kylo, well in that way. “Maybe, I know that I’ve been overstepping the lines today, but maybe we could do something that represents the true Ben Solo, not Kylo Ren.” I said. Tears welled in her brown eyes and I could see the similarities in Kylo and Leia. “I’d like that very much, Y/N.” Leia said.

Thirty was a big deal and I know he wasn’t my boyfriend or anything like that, but I felt the need to do something. I just didn’t know what. I couldn’t ask his mother, it was too awkward and I still wasn’t really talking to Kat, which made our living arrangements very uneasy. Transportation wise, I sought out to the First Order spies. The good thing was that his birthday wasn’t until weeks later so it gave me enough time to think of an idea. And I did! I mean, I couldn’t afford much so it wasn’t as grand as the trips he took me on, but it was quaint and intimate. It was a dwarf planet in a little town called Stowe and it was said to be great for couples who wanted to get away. I paced back and forth in the suite; it had a kitchen and living area and a large bed with large windows and the bathroom was pretty nice as well. The theme was wood I’m guessing since it was a lodge, but it was beautiful and everyone was so nice. Looking at everyone here, they were older than the both of us, but closer to him. I chuckled, I should get the old jokes up before he arrived. I heard the door open to reveal the old geezer. “Geezer?” He asked with furrowed brows. A wide smile spread on my face as I ran engulfing him in a tight hug. His thick arms wrapped around my waist pulling me close to him. He pulled back and his brown eyes scanned my face. It was so hard to keep my composure together with everything I had planned. His eyes glistened as he held a steady lock with mine. He wanted to say something, I know he did because so did I. “Let’s take a walk!” I beamed up at him.

We walked hand in hand, swinging, down the main street. I looked up and bit back a smile. I remember how he never wanted to be out in public for the sake of identity, but he slowly began to warm up to it and now here he was holding my hand and pointing out things and suggesting what we should do. All I could do was smile and nod like the love sick puppy I am. We were standing on the corner of a street when thunder roared above us. We looked up as droplets began to fall heavily on our faces. I grabbed his hand to run back to the hotel, but it was like pulling at a brick wall. Kylo stood there with his raven hair stuck to his face, pulling me back towards him. “What are you doing?!” I exclaimed. His large hand fell to the small of my back while the other one found my hand. He began to move me in the middle of the street, moving back and forth. “A-Are you dancing? Are we dancing in the rain?” I asked feeling my clothes get heavier. Little hums left his lips; “And you’re singing too? You’re enjoying this too much!” I laughed and a hearty laugh erupted from his throat. His head fell back with a wide smile exposing his dimples. So, in the name of love and his birthday, I decided to indulge this.

Making it back to the lodge was basically like fighting against the rain. Once in the suite, we removed our wet clothes and traded them for the large white plush robes. “You look cute like that.” I pulled my knees closer to me as I looked to see Kylo in his robes and a towel wrapped around his head like me. “Thanks that means a lot from someone as stylish as you.” He sat on the bed beside me. I couldn’t help but just stare at him, internally bouncing off the walls. “What?” He asked me. I shook my head, before delving under the bed. When I returned he gave me a quizzical look before I was shoving the black box decorated with Vader stickers in his face with the craziest smile. His brows furrowed as he cautiously accepted. Slowly, he opened it, eyes scanning the item. “What is this for?” He asked. “Happy Birthday!” I smiled, I was too excited to even take in his confused state. “Is it real?” He asked. Is it real? I was taken aback. “Of course it is! Weren’t you the one who gave me that talk about fake jewelry.” I scooted closer to see the gold chain. An amused huff emitted from him. “What?” I asked. “It’s just funny that you used the money I gave you to buy me a gift on a day you assumed was my birthday.” He chuckled lightly. But there was nothing funny about that.

“Um...I didn’t, I used my money.” I said. “And you expect me to believe that?” Why the fuck he was being so rude. “Yes, because I’m trying to be nice for your birthday.” My voice started to rise. “No one said it was my birthday.” He shook his head. The palm of my hands flew to my eyes as I growled; he was being so horrible. “BECAUSE IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME HERSELF!” I walked away and I could see this newfound information had him caught in a daze. “SHE TOLD ME IT WAS YOUR FUCKING BIRTHDAY AND I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING NICE AND GET YOU A NICE SUITE AND A NICE GIFT WITH MY FUCKING MONEY, WHICH NOW I’M PRETTY SURE THE BANK WILL CLOSE MY ACCOUNT NOW BECAUSE IT’S SO DAMN LOW, FOR SOMEONE AS UNGRATEFUL AS YOU BECAUSE I FUCKING L-” The word almost escaped my lips, but instead I muffled a screamed and went to slam the bedroom door only for it to not budge. I turned to look at Kylo who sat on the bed. “Let go!” I yelled at him. “No,” He said with no emotion which made me worse. I continued to tug at the door that wouldn’t budge. “That’s not fucking fair!” I whined feeling tears brim my eyes. This vacation was horrible and was giving me a reason to actually hate Kylo Ren. He seemed to have heard that thought because his hold on the door stopped as I swung it shut, stumbling back. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! I thought loudly. I was too angry to pull out the couch or even get a blanket. With arms crossed and a scowl, I flopped down on the couch doing the one thing my father said never to do: go to sleep angry. Because that’s how you get sick.

I didn’t know how long I was out there, but not long enough to actually fall asleep. Especially since I’ve been grumbling the whole time about things I should’ve said and making up fake scenarios. I heard the door open and continued to keep my angry stare at the wall ahead of me. “Y/N,” His deep voice called out. “Y/N, I know you’re awake.” I still didn’t answer. “Y/N come to bed.” “No.” I said sternly. I heard him take a deep breath. “I’m not going to let you sleep out here all night, so you either go yourself or I’ll make you.” I rolled my eyes, did he think I was one of his little stormtroopers? I got up and walked inside, noticing the gold chain that adorned his neck. “You don’t have to wear it.” I rolled my eyes again; Kylo was on my heels as I walked to the far side of the bed. “I want to.” He spoke softly. I nestled under the covers ignoring him. He sighed before slipping under as well. “Did you really talk to her?” He asked. I looked over my shoulder to see him staring at the ceiling. I reached over for my datapad unlocking it. “Every year around this time, she acts so weird; she’s short with everyone and zones out and secludes herself. I caught her watching a holo of you and I tried to just be there for her and that’s how I found out about your birthday.” I told him honestly. “She told me how when you were younger you used to hang these gold dice on your neck so you can look like your Uncle Lando.” I bit back a laugh, focusing on finding what i wanted to show him. “And how much you loved calligraphy, which makes sense with your notes, and reading; so I thought that she could have something to remember you by.”

I handed him the datapad and his dark eyes studied the picture. “The Ben Organa-Skywalker Solo Literature Scholarship.’’ He read. “You should’ve seen how much I had to go through just to use the name, so we say BOSS.” I chuckled, remembering the almost physical altercation that almost unfolded. He began to swipe, seeing pictures of children ranging in ages, with bright, hopeful smiles. “The money that YOU gave me went to this. All these kids know is war and I don’t think it’s fair for them to not have a choice to do what they love or experience life. Granted I ended up being a teacher at the Resistance, I received a scholarship to college and I was able to meet amazing people and create so many experiences and learn so much. And I just thought it’s the least I could do to help them to think that there is more than just war for them.” I shrugged. Kylo didn’t speak as he continued to look at the pictures. He then stopped at a picture of Leia and I, which I forgot was there. The pads of his fingers brushed over his mother’s face. He had no expression as he continued to just look over at the picture. It was weird, him with such detachment as his mother looked up with a smile. He placed the datapad down and turn wrapping his arm around me. His lips grazed my forehead as he spoke, “You make everyone so happy.” I looked up at him; I wanted to ask him so bad if this included him, but his eyes were shut tightly, tears squished between his lashes. So I opted to press a kiss to his shoulder and placed my head under his chin.

I felt lips and hands press against my face. My name being called caused me to stir; I moved closer to Kylo only to feel him to push back. Then before I knew it I felt cold piercing stings against my body. I opened my eyes to see the shower pouring down on me and Kylo just watching. “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!” I tried to yell, but my voice couldn’t break above a whisper. “You have a fever.” He said over the water. In the mirror behind him, I could see myself looking like a wild loth-cat. I moved to turn off the water but my muscles felt weak, so Kylo did it instead and wrapped me in a large robe; scooping me up he placed me on the bed looking over me with worried eyes. A large hand smacked down on my forehead. “Ow,” I barely made out. My head was pounding and supposedly hot, but I was freezing. “You need medicine.” He quickly left the room leaving me to let sleep evade me once again. That was until he came back to wake me up again. “Does your throat hurt?” I nodded. “What else?” He asked. And I pointed to the various pained points. “The woman at the desk said this should be fine.” He poured the dark-colored medicine on the spoon. The smell hit my nose and had me rolling away from him. A firm grip was placed on my shoulder to stop me. “I don’t want too,” I whined, my voice not even breaking the sound barrier. But he didn’t listen and was shoving the nasty liquid in my mouth. My eyes widened as it hit my tongue, to make matters worse I couldn’t swallow. My throat refused to let anything go down, so I began to choke and coughed it out landing it all on the sheets and on him. With heavy lids, I slowly peered up at him to see him frozen with disgust. Tears burned down my fevered cheeks. Too embarrassed, tired, and in pain, I slid back down under the covers. Kylo sighed, cleaning himself up.

I floated in and out of consciousness throughout the night. There were a mumble of voices from people I didn’t know and then him. When I opened my eyes, I could make out the warm chocolate eyes looking at me filled with sadness and the gentle feeling on my left hand; patterns being brushed against my skin that would cause me to fall back into my relaxation state. I wasn’t fully aware to what was happening until I felt myself moving. I felt his grip loosen on my hand and grabbed harder. “No,” I cried out softly. All movement stopped as his lips pressed gently against my ear. “Y/N, you’re sick. You need a doctor, you need to go back home.” Kylo whispered. “No,” I felt the cooling tears slide down my cheeks. “Y/N please,” He begged. “No, I don’t want you to go. Don’t leave me.” My voice strained. His hand that was entangled with mine began to tremble. “I’m sorry, but I can’t go with you, you know that.” He said, finally removing his hand from mine. “I love you.” Was the last thing I heard, but I wasn’t sure if he said it or it was my imagination, but I said it back anyway even if I was the only person that could hear it.

Outside POV

When Poe heard you were being emitted to the medbay the first thing he did was call Kat back from her assignment. The next thing he did was rush off to get you a large bouquet of flowers. Making his way to the medbay he saw a fellow pilot nod and go on his way. This said pilot wasn’t really liked by Poe. Something about him just rubbed him the wrong way. But all those thoughts went out the door when he saw you lying in the bed hooked up to all those machines. A nurse passing by cooed at the sight of Poe; everyone knew of his infatuation for you and well you, everyone just thought you were just a headstrong girl who needed convincing that love wasn’t that bad. Poe placed the flowers on your bedside and looked down at you with a pout. He gently brushed the free strand behind your ear careful not to stir you. His hand moved to gently brush against yours only for him to see something strange. His brows furrowed as he plucked the white paper from underneath the cover. He shouldn’t be snooping around your stuff, but the Darth Vader sticker caught him by surprise. He remembered the uproar from everyone when they caught you handing out these stickers to their kids. He chuckled thinking about all the trouble you caused. Slowly he peeled the sticker back and read the neatly written letter:

Little One,

I hope all is well. Hopefully by the time you receive this, you’ll be awake. I forgot to pack your datapad so letters will be our only form of communication. I’ve asked one of them to let me know of your health status. I don’t know what happened, but you scared me and no matter what I did, you weren’t getting better. It truly hurt my heart to let you go and to see you cry when we had to separate, because I care for you more than I should. What I’m trying to say to you Y/N is that I love you. I love you so much, it wakes me up in the morning and lulls me to sleep at night. Your love carries me throughout battle to make sure of a safe return. I should’ve told you truthfully when you first came, but there was something about you that I just couldn’t let go. Y/N I’m so in love with you, I don’t know what to do, I was so scared of telling you, I don’t want to lose you.

It was signed ‘B.O.’ which caught Poe off-guard. At the moment he couldn’t recall anyone he knew with the initials pertaining such letters. All he could think about was Ben Solo and how hard you fought to use his name for the scholarship you started. But he shook his head; Kylo Ren, in love, with you? You, talking to Kylo Ren? Where would you even meet him? You were just a teacher! His thoughts were cut short from the whimpers that left your lips. Slipping the note in his back pocket, he sat on your bedside. “Hey Y/N, how are you feeling?” You looked at him with furrowed brows and then at the colorful flower arrangement to your left. “Those are for you.” Poe pointed out. “And I contacted Kat telling her to come back.” Both of his hands engulfed your left one and he watched your (y/e/c) eyes study him. “Thank you.” You croaked. “No problem. If you need anything just call me.” Poe pressed a kiss to your knuckles and watched your lips part with a mix of emotion in your eyes. This had hope filling up within him. He sent you one last smile before leaving to find out who was B.O.

BTS Imagine | Dwarves AU Them having a crush on you | Part 2

Park Jimin

Jimin was the sweetest and most caring one of the whole group. He was always taking care of you, making sure you were feeling the best you could. When you had red cheeks, he would check if you had a fever. If you would sneeze or cough once, he would tell you to stay in so wouldn’t get a cold or flu or even worse and would make you one of his delicious sandwiches.

He loved listening to your stories. To him, everything you did or said was amazing. Your voice was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. He sometimes even asked you to sing for him because listening to your voice calmed him down.

Jimin was very shy and insecure dwarf. His friends always seemed to get your attention over him but he never had the courage to speak up and would silently pout until you noticed him.

He constantly searched for approval. He was scared he wasn’t smart enough, beautiful enough, and he was damn sure he wasn’t good enough for you. You always assured him otherwise though.

It was late at night. It had been a long day. You and the dwarfs spent your day cleaning and organizing the house and all of you were exhausted. It had been storming really badly for the past hours, raining and thundering nonstop. You and the dwarfs had gathered around the fireplace, enjoying the warmth of the fire that had been burning since early in the morning. You had just made a big bowl of hot chocolate and everyone was enjoying a cup. Everyone was sitting in a large circle with Yoongi on your right and Jimin snuggled up into your left side. Jimin snuggling up to you was nothing new. It started happening more and more often. You both seemed to enjoy it so there was no reason to stop him from doing so.

You had been telling stories from your world the past hour and everyone seemed to really like it. You told them about your childhood and how it was to go to school. Jimin tried his hardest to listen to your words but it was hard. Your voice was so beautiful that he just zoned out and while listening, causing him not always being able to follow what you’re saying.

Jimin moved his head, now softly placing it on your shoulder. You put your arm around his shoulder, causing him to snuggle into your side even more. This earned chuckled from the others.

After another hour, everyone went to bed one by one. The only ones left were you and Jimin. Jimin wrapped his arms around your waist, subconsciously pulling you closer. You looked down to see Jimin’s face was completely red. You smiled to yourself. He was just so incredibly cute.

“Are you alright?” you asked.

“Yeah,” Jimin sighed. You could tell something was off about him.

“Please, Jimin,” you softly insisted. “You can tell me.”

“D-do you really think Jin is such a great cook?” Jimin asked with a shaky voice. “And do you really think Hoseok is funny? And... never mind...”

You pulled away slightly so you were able to see Jimin’s face. Jimin shyly looked up to you through his lashes.

“I do,” you confirmed. “Why do you ask?”

“You never told me my cooking is good,” Jimin pouted with a small voice.

“Oh, Jimin,” you said and sat up straight, making Jimin sit up as well. “You are great! I never told you your cooking is cook because you never cook for me. Although your sandwiches are delicious!”

“Really?” Jimin asked, his eyes lighting up.

“Yes,” you confirmed. “Why are you so insecure about yourself?”

Jimin looked down and played with the hem of his blue shirt.

“I-I don’t know,” he said barely understandable.

“Jimin, you don’t have to be,” you told him. “You are amazing! You’re smart, funny, sweet, caring and everything else the others are but more.”

“Thank you,” Jimin blushed and slowly looked up to you. You smiled at hi. You were happy that Jimin believed you and trusted your opinion. Jimin crawled back to you and cuddle up in your side to you again. With his head on your shoulder, you both fell drifted off to sleep in front of the warm fire.

Kim Taehyung

Taehyung was a musical dwarf, singing and playing the saxophone a lot. He was definitaly the moodmaker of the group and loved joking around. He was also a very sweet and caring dwarf. Taehyung knew exactly how to make you smile when you needed to. Whenever you were feeling down, were homesick or just had a bad day, he would listen to your stories and try his best to cheer you up.

Taehyung loved to take care of animals, and when you came along, he liked it even more. It was his time to spend exclusively with you. He really enjoyed showing you all the different types of animals living in the forest. He would show you how and what to feed them. He would also show you how to approach them and take care of them. Taehyung would also show you how to apply some first aid for when an animal got wounded.

Taehyung was also a very fashionable dwarf, always knowing the latest trends. You didn't have much clothing yourself and Taehyung loved helping you create something out of nothing. He also offered you to wear his clothes whenever he could because he loved seeing you in them.

You were in your shared room. You and Taehyung agreed to go out today and see if there were animals in need. He had given you some of his older clothes to wear since you barely had anything. It was an old button up shirt and plain pants. You had put everything on and looked into the mirror. You looked absolutely ridiculous but adorable at the same time.

“Hopefully Taehyung won’t think I looked stupid,” you thought to yourself as you turned around to inspect yourself from the back. You sighed and decided to leave the room. It wouldn’t get better anyways. When you walked down the stairs and saw that Taehyung was already waiting for you. He immediately started laughing when he saw you, making you feel insecure.

“Is it that bad?” you asked.

“No!” Taehyung quickly said. “You- you just look really cute.”

“Thank you,” you blushed.

“Are you ready to go?” Taehyung asked.

“Yes, I am,” you told him. Taehyung smiled and grabbed you hand.

“Come!” he said excited and pulled you with him.

You went into the forest and after about a thirty minute walk you and Taehyung arrived at a lake, hidden deep inside the forest. A couple of deer, rabbits and birds had gathered around the lake to drink and refresh.

"They're beautiful," you said with a smile.

"Aren't they?" Taehyung questioned, looking at you.

"Yeah, they are," you confirmed. You kept looking at the animals in front of you. Taehyung on the other hand only had eyes for you. While you stared at the animals, Taehyung stared at you. He couldn't stop a smile from forming on his face. To him, you were the most beautiful thing this planet had to offer. He just wish he could tell you!

"Would you like to feed or pet one of them?" Taehyung asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

"Wait, can I?" you asked surprised.

"Of course," Taehyung chuckled at your reaction. "Just follow my lead."

You nodded in response. Taehyung grabbed your hand again and pulled you with him. You slowly approached the lake. For some reason none of the animals seemed spooked by your presence. Taehyung and you approached a male deer with beautiful antlers. Taehyung handed you some mushrooms.

"Here, he'll like this," Taehyung told you. You took the mushrooms from his hand. Taking a deep breath you extended you hand towards the deer. He sniffed the food at first and then slowly started eating out of your hand. You couldn't help but smile.

"You can pet him if you want to," Taehyung said. You only now noticed Taehyung was already petting the deer. You reached out and softly stroked the top of the deer's head who seemed to enjoy it.

"This is so amazing," you smiled.

"It is," Taehyung agreed. "I'm glad you are enjoying this just as much as I am."

"Of course I am. This is great!" you kept petting the deer who seemed to take a liking to you.

"You are always welcome to join me," Taehyung told you. "If you want to..."

"I would love to," you sincerely told him. Taehyung smiled wide and quickly kissed your cheek, leaving you both with red covering your cheeks.

Jeon Jungkook

Jungkook was the youngest of the group and definitely acted upon that.

He loved pranking and teasing his hyungs, always managing to make you laugh in the progress. Sometimes he would ask you to prank his hyungs with him. He loved spending the time with you and he also knew that his hyungs couldn't be mad at you, so that was a way for him to get away with his pranks. He also loved pranking you, though he would be very afraid that you would become mad at him, which never happened.

Jungkook is very good at lifting your spirit. Usually being the one who noticed there's something off about you, he would everything in his power to make you feel better. Sometimes he was a little clumsy though, making him even more adorable than he already was.

He is also very artsy. Don't be suspired if you would find drawings and paintings everywhere. His favorite subject to draw was you but he kept those drawings locked away in a little box underneath his bed. He didn't want you to find out about his crush on you like that and he also didn't want his hyungs to tease him even more than they already did.

Even thought Jungkook seems confident and playful, he is actually really insecure and shy. He would blush a lot, especially around you, earning lots of teasing from his hyungs. He also stuttered from time to time, especially when you turned your attention to him fully or when you (accidentally) touched him.

It was a cold winters day in the middle of January. Snow was covering everything. It was a beautiful sight to see. Everyone had the day off and decided to spend the day inside, away from the terrible freezing cold. The boys were minding their own business around the house. You and Jungkook were the only ones in the living room. You were sitting on a big, fluffy rug in front of the fire place. You had a blanket covering your legs for some extra warmth. You had a book placed in your lap which you have been reading for the past hour, maybe even longer. Namjoon had given it to you, saying it was really good. He didn't lie, you really enjoyed it. Jungkook was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. On his legs he had his sketchbook. He had been secretly sketching you for the past thirty minutes. For some reason, it didn't feel right. He felt bad for sketching you behind you back all the time. Sometimes he actually felt ashamed of the fact that he had made hundredths of drawings of you, even though nobody knew about them. He just needed to capture your beauty.

You felt two eyes burning into you. Looking up, you saw Jungkook staring at you, though he didn't realize it himself.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" you asked when you noticed his annoyed and stressed appearance.

"Y-yes," Jungkook stuttered. "I'm good."

You nodded at him in reply and turned your attention back to the book in your lap. Jungkook on the other hand couldn't stop staring at you.

A couple of minutes later Jin entered the living room with two cups in his hands, handing you and Jungkook one. It was tea and it smelled really good.

"Thank you," you smiled.

"No problem," Jin smiled back. "Oh and kook, stop staring, it is rude."

And with that he left the room. You looked up to see Jungkook looking at the wall with bright red cheeks. You just smiled and focused on your book again, not wanting to embarrass him even more.

"Y/N?" Jungkook broke the silence.

"Hmm?" you mumbled, not looking up from your book.

"Would you mind it if I draw you?" he asked with a shaking voice. You quickly looked up at him. His cheeks were even redder than before, if that was even possible.

"You want to draw me?" you asked, suddenly feeling a little shy.

"Y-yes, I would love to?" Jungkook confirmed. "Y-you are very beautiful."

"Thank you," you blushed at the complement. "Yes, you can draw me."

Jungkook smiled and quickly switched to a blank page in his sketchbook.

"Do I need to pose a certain way?" you asked.

"No, just do whatever you want to and feels comfortable to you," Jungkook told you. "Everything you do is beautiful."

You smiled and nodded. Deciding to just keep reading you turned back to your book again, sipping your tea every now and then.

Jungkook started sketching. He felt really proud of the fact that he finally asked you to draw you and told you that you were beautiful. After a little while you sat down next to Jungkook and looked at the drawing. It looked exactly like you, maybe even better.

"It is great!" you smiled.

"Thank you," Jungkook said with a blush.

"You're welcome," you said and kissed his cheek. Jungkook tried to desperately cover his blush, which he failed at. He was too cute for words!

May you tell us the plot of your quote unquote "weird gem au" I am quite interested

:’D i’d be delighted to share what little bits and pieces of the exposition i have done !!! imma throw it under the read more

( oK so … im gonna b real honest scoob some of the lore might not exactly match up w/ canon SU (less bc i’m going off on my own tangent and more so bc we just…. don’t know what gems in other parts of the caste system are doing day-to-day jasfnaf so i gotta uuhhh make it up!) buuuut for a reference point, i’d assume this au takes place somewhere in the middle of era 2, the war on earth is happening but it’s not a Super Big Deal Yet )

sooo orbiting homeworld, there are these dwarf planets that are used for housing working/technician gems when they aren’t currently dispatched on a mission - there’s also a base on said planet that they get assigned missions from / receive intell / request shit they need for a mission, etc. etc. for the most part, the missions per dwarf planet are pretty similar and specialized, and the gems on the planet consist of either the same or only two to three different types of gems minus the gem who runs the mission base, who’s usually a morganite or hessanite

jared (who throughout the story is just ‘j’ bc gems don’t have names |’D) is a techician peridot living on one of these dwarf planets amongst other peridots; for the most part, their missions really only consist of visiting other planets to repair/do general upkeep of various kindergartens. he’s p good at what he does, but theres been talk of him rlly fucking something up on one of his last missions, so he’s driven to uuhhh not fuck up this next one because the last thing he wants is to tarnish his reputation or get sent back to homeworld for being Incompetent, ya know

what helps is that he’s pretty close to the morganite who runs the planet’s mission base (it’s alana, but i don’t know yet if i also want her to just go by her first initial or something else yet). she’s constantly exasperated from having to run the base by herself and also kinda… trying to prove to her leaders that she’s more than this lame dwarf planet full of peridots, but she likes j’s company so she manages (and probably pulls some mad strings for him smh)

so! jared needs to not fuck up this next mission. thing is, he doesn’t rlly have a ship at the moment because the last mission sorta totaled his, and there’s not enough time to repair it before he has to go, so he moseys over to the mission base like “alana i need a ship pls”

and they don’t really have another ship at the disposal, so alana searches through their current resources to see what she can offer jared. later deployment, a more durable set of limb enhancers, different kinds of equipment that might be able to get him across space, a lapis –

and jared’s like wait, stop, hold on - a lapis??? aren’t those kind of fuckin uh rare elite blue court gems?? and alana is kind of confused too as she’s staring at the screen, but she just shrugs and “yeah homeworld can send us a lapis for u to use ig” it just seems kind of suspicious to jared, but the other options seem flimsy and not Great so he Sighs very heavily and asks for the lapis

and he’s not thrilled, bc jared is not really great at playing nice. it only works w/ alana bc he’s known her for forever, but other gems?? they usually think he’s kind of an asshole so he sorta stopped trying, but now he has to spend a whole ass MISSION with some lapis who probably thinks they’re better than him??? ugh

but a few days pass by, and alana calls jared back to the base. sure enough, there’s a ..,., lapis there with her, who looks very.., not like an elite should? he’s very nervous and kind of fidgety and jared inwardly sighs bc Wow this is gonna be a long mission. after he nicknames the lapis ‘e’, they bid alana farewell and are Off !!

jared is still super suspicious of evan tho, bc he knows there has to be something not right w/ him… but he can’t figure it out?? he flies fine, and he doesn’t seem to be a traitor or anything, so what is it………. he obviously doesn’t outright ask him, but for the first few days of the mission they have a very Tense relationship bc evan is kind of uhh Intimidated by this tiny self-righteous peridot and jared doesn’t trust evan at all and refuses to interact w/ him like a normal gem fadgkfdj

long term goal is jared learns how to not be a Jerk and in turn evan kind of relaxes some and they actually get p close? in the very end i sort of want them to break away from homeworld but i don’t know how that’s gonna happen yet, probably something involving a.) they fuse and someone important + bad finds out and b.) jared finishes the mission! but upon returning evan he figures out that the mission was the last thing evan was assigned to do and he is now going to be shattered or something for something he did before the two met ajfnafgs (which is why they allowed someone who was of an ‘elite’ status of the caste to go on a technician mission, it’s bc they were going to get rid of him eventually)

alana would ofc go w/ them too , and they’d just be a band of… space pirates, except they don’t conquer anything probably |’’D? i still gotta work out a bunch of kinks in the end game for the plot

ALSO i don’t know how/if connor and zoe are going to be implemented yet - if they are tho, they’re probably not going to have a Huge part in this ahfsbnkajsfa

#long post #thank u for asking anon asjfnasf #the weird gem au

[Disco Wednesdayyy part 11/?] ---Disco goes on a big dream adventure, which isn’t nearly as nice as it sounds [tw: body horror, eye horror, fingore]---

Last time, we learned we had a demon problem, and Kozue went missing. In order to allow Sakurazuki to find Kozue, Disco has to fall asleep in Kimura’s room (we’re not yet told exactly how this is supposed to work, but hey, Sakurazuki thinks it’ll work). What follows is basically a weird dream (?) sequence a’la Asura Girl, but much better.

Disco ‘wakes up’ in his office in San Diego. It’s 25th July 1986, and we’ll quickly see that in this dreamscape Disco doesn’t remember things that happened after that date, like the Pine House or even who Kozue is.

The one who ‘woke him up’ is Sharon Styron, who brought with her a boy she had found by her pool. The 17-year-old boy introduces himself as Mitamura Saburou and claims he was somehow transported from Nishi Akatsuki in Japan to San Diego in under an hour, and he thinks he could have been kidnapped. That’s not the reason Mitamura came to Disco, though. He wants the detective to find his missing brothers, Ichirou and Jirou.

Somebody knocks on the door, and Disco is startled to find that it’s a giant guy who looks like he’s entirely wrapped in black leather, with his face being a featureless surface, seemingly “boiling and squirming” [a Silent Hill monster, pretty much]. The man (?) introduces himself as SS Nail Peeler (”Not that SS. It’s short for ‘super sadistic’, actually.” Can I just say that I love how even the murder demon doesn’t want to be associated with Those Guys). Nail Peeler says that Disco is ‘in the wrong world’, and that he has to go back to the Pine House. He calls Disco ‘Odoriba Mizutarou’, which is one of the many nicknames the protagonist works under. [It’s the equivalent of ‘Dancefloor Wednesguy’ and I love how on the nose it is.]

At this moment Mitamura starts screaming, so Disco turns around and sees that Sharon Styron has been cut into bloody pieces by some mysterious force.

“Run, Odoriba!” Nail Peeler says. “Go back to the Pine House! Only you can properly save the world! Think only about Kozue! You really should be thinking about her!”

Disco and Mitamura jump out the window and flee in Disco’s car. They hear a radio announcement that “...to solve the last challenging puzzle of the writer Ehimegawa Juuzou, many great detectives as well as mystery nerds came to the Pine House Theater..." Disco somehow knows that the Pine House Theater is the big round building on the hills of San Diego, so they head there while talking. (Disco: ”Ever heard of this Ehimegawa Juuzou?” Mitamura: “Yeah. I’m a mystery fan. Have you read Shimada Souji’s books?” Disco: “Nah, I’m a detective, I have enough of this stuff in real life.” Mitamura: “But The Tokyo Zodiac Murders is a masterpiece!” -- okay, at this point Maijo isn’t even hiding that he wants the reader to check out Shimada Souji).

They arrive at the Pine House Theater, which looks like a cross between the Pine House and a theater (...duh): long rows of seats wrap around the scene. The door closes behind Disco, the lights go out, the Nail Peeler suddenly appears. “You finally came back,” he says. “Well then, let’s begin the tragedy -- The Pine House Dead!”

As Disco watches, Sakurazuki comes on stage. “My name is Sakurazuki Tansetsu, and I am a great detective.” He recites a short explanation of the case, which contains quite ridiculous claims like Mitamura having been murdered by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Once he’s done...

“Let the judgement begin!” says Nail Peeler. The lights go out, and once they turn back on, Nail Peeler is standing behind the now dead Sakurazuki, holding one of the man’s eyes. A chorus sings from the shadows: “Holy death, holy death, the fool dies for new knowledge, crushes his eye to gain new light”.

All the other great detectives take turns on the stage -- Kiyuu; Hakkyoku with five others; Keraku; Judy Dollhouse; Daibakusho Curry -- and shortly sum up their reasoning, and each time after they’re done the Nail Peeler enacts his ‘judgement’. [This can’t really be conveyed in short recaps, but I can’t overstate how awesomely this entire scene was written. It’s one of those scenes that you can instantly see and hear. Imagine Cellblock Tango, but the spoken parts are the reasoning explanations, and the chorus is ominous like it’s a part of an Utena duel song, and also there’s a murderous demon. That’s what this scene felt like]

[There’s not much new stuff we learn from these explanations, and of course we’re not told exactly what parts of them were wrong. Judy thinks that Mitamura’s body might have been pointing to a celestial body known as 2003UB313 -- that’d be the dwarf planet Eris. Daibakusho Curry says some nonsense about how Mitamura made the circle of blood because a circle is a ‘positive shape’ and he wanted to tell others that death is not something to be afraid of.]

Once the last of the great detectives is dead, the Nail Peeler appears behind Disco’s back. “It’s your turn, Odoriba Mizutarou. You already knew that. For Kozue’s sake, read out the truth!” But Disco has no idea what’s going on and can only stand there frozen in terror. “Oh well, I guess there’s no use in waiting. I’ll just take your eye now...” As he reaches to do just that, the door to the Theater fly open, a mysterious man comes in and saves Disco. While Disco doesn’t recognize him in the dream, we know it’s Mercury C.

Disco wakes up back in reality. He got out alive from the encounter, but while he slept his fingernails has been ripped off (OUCH. Thank God a doctor they called earlier is hanging around the Pine House so he can help right away). At least they achieved their goal: Sakurazuki is holding plushie-Kozue, whose soul he managed to find when the Nail Peeler was distracted showing Disco his highly disturbing and symbolic play.

From a quite philosophical conversation we learn that Sakurazuki is able to glimpse into other people’s ‘world after death’, a sort of a ‘neutral place between worlds’. Sakurazuki thinks that said place is constantly changing shape according to what a person believes. He wonders if even the real world is shaped by human consciousness (”Maybe if everyone believed that Earth is shaped like a giant table, it would really be a giant table until someone started having doubts? (...) Maybe everything that was ever discovered in our world is like fiction, like movies and novels...”). Disco is pretty skeptical -- if this world is shaped by human wishes, why are horrible things happening in the Pine House? Who would want it? -- to which Sakurazuki answers enigmatically: “Someone whose worldview is different from ours, who therefore can do extraordinary and offbeat things.”

Not long after that, Kiyuu is found dead just like many other detectives before him. A short time later Hongou informs everyone that Sakurazuki almost followed that fate as well, but thanks to the quick medical help is still alive, though it’s hard to tell if he‘ll wake up again. For now he’s cared for by that doctor from earlier in one of the vacant rooms.

Only two great detectives in the Pine House have yet to state their theories about the case: Hongou Takeshi Takeshi and Mikami Nils.

Day 0

-21st of Summer; Year 3157

Log 1: Day 0

This day marks the eve of the day that IPRE's StarBlas-TerrainEcumenicalRanger, fondly called the StarBlas-TER, leaves port. Essentially the last day of it not being begun.

In the crew there are 7, including myself. Captain Davenport, famous for his talents exploring our solar system and traveling to undiscovered lands, guides our mission. Mr. Davenport is the oldest of the crew, currently 300 years old, 3'2, with auburn hair with grey flecks and deep brown eyes. Personal note: kind of a silver fox, if possible for gnomes.

Our 2nd most experienced and most notable is Dr. Merle Highchurch. Having 2 doctorates; one in theology and one in general medical sciences, Dr. Highchurch is an exceptionally brilliant man, although sometimes judgemental and haphazard. (Personal note: it's a shame he's so convinced he's the funniest man in the world, being that he makes himself out to be much more stupid than he is.) He is 220, a little past middle aged for a dwarf, 3'6, greying brunette with unkempt beard and short whispy hair.

A notable, yet relatively young scientist, Dr. Barry J. Halwinter is also aboard the ship. Dr.Halwinter has a doctorate in astronomy, his role to reveal uncovered mysteries throughout our journey. His thesis on spatial propolsion gave new depths to space travel and it's potential consequences. He is currently 45years old, 5'10, has light brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. Personal note: for an acclaimed scientist, his wardrobe is... lacking. He happens to look less like a doctor and more of a plumber maybe? Maybe a fantasy Target employee? No... I can't put my finger on the pulse but it's somewhere in that area.

2 exceptionally bright and profoundly talented magic users, Lup and Taako (last name redacted), are additional crew members. These two happen to be siblings; their intelligence shared unlike their personalities.

Although both having an affinity for cooking magics, Lup is also a Master in Evocation and is a professor to a prestigous school. She is very charasmatic, although charming in her teachings as well as personal interactions.

Taako, however, is a scientist in the arts of Transmutation, famous for his countless discoveries and original spells. He has also incorporated this into his cooking mastery, which inspired his book; "Durians to Donuts and Drumsticks" or commonly known as "Triple D".

They are both about 114, 6 foot, and are sunelves; medium tone skin and blonde hair. Personal note: they offered to play chess with me. I told them I'm more of a Shogi fan, but played anyway. They are, now, the proud owners of a pair of glasses and socks they don't need. :(

Kinesthesiology Master and professor, Magnus Burnsides, is our 6th member. Mr.Burnsides revolutionized the world of exercise from a young age; then later became the lead scientist for IPRE's physio-spatial research. He is only 19 years old, 6'3, and has curly auburn hair. Personal note; he's funny and pretty social but the guy is a sack of bricks outside Kinesthesiology. He doesn't know the difference between Fantasy William Golding and the literal really real in our universe William Shakespear. He's jacked so it's excusable.

Our 7th member, a literary doctor and analyst, Lucretia Carter, who also happens to be me, is a gentle yet wandering soul who aims to greater understood and-

Is getting intentionally carried away. I am a literary prodigy and was elected to log the entirety of the IPRE's 3 month mission beyond our universe. I am 18, 6'4, and I have pale white hair and kind hazel eyes.

Log 2: Day 0

We are all celebrating our last night on our planet for several months at a local pub. We originally were stationed all at the bar, but happened to stray further away as the night went on. Dr. Highchurch Merle has been keeping me company, helping keep tabs on everyone as I write. I consider this a warm up for the logging I will be doing over our trip, though I can't say I feel I need it.

Currently, Taako and Lup are busy swindling 2 suckers out of their hideous steel toed boots. These afforementioned suckers are 2 greasy white men, late 30's, with cocky demeanors. (They're screwed, essentially.)

Dr.Halwinter has been in the bathroom for the past 30 minutes, after attempting to eat the hottest chicken wings on the menu (probably to impress Ms.Lup).

Mr.Davenport has been left at the table he and Mr.Halwinter got for their dinners. He's been fidgeting with his food ever since he left, unsure whether to keep eating or whether it'd be awkward if Halwinter came back and he was finished... it's socially unnerving to watch, to put gently.

Changing direction, Mr.Burnsides has been talking to these two ru-

Oh no.

I have repositioned myself, along with Dr. Merle behind the bar. Whatever Mr.Burnsides was discussing escalated into a fight and now fists are being thrown left and right. I have no interest for men but the vigor in Mr.Burnsides actions is entrancing. Mr.Davenport has just tried to butt in, however he went unacknowledged by the human and orc.

Mr.Burnsides put up a great fight, but ended up with a black eye. It was bluejeans shit Dr.Halwinter who interrupted their fisticuffs, potentially saving a table or two, too late for several drinks and a couple chairs. Lup and Taako have already left the scene, having won the shoes, and another fool's belt, obviously satisfied with their reap. Although a disaster has gone down, I can't help but feel almost thrilled that these are the people I'll be spending my first great voyage with. I hope to keep in touch with a few of them, even afterwards, if that isn't in too high of hopes.

The Great White Hope: Notes from Antarctica, Earth’s Last Great Wilderness

In Antarctica, the writer finds promise, peril, and nature so grand it inspires poetry.

The riotous seas of the Drake Passage—one of the world’s most treacherous stretches of water—lie down for us as we cross, aboard the ship National Geographic Explorer, in a spell of good weather. We sailed from the world’s southernmost city, Ushuaia, Argentina, for the closest part of the cold continent, the Antarctic Peninsula, escorted by petrels and albatrosses. All are graceful on the wing, but the birds that draw my eye are the wandering albatrosses. Greatest of seabirds with their 11-foot wingspans, wandering albatrosses are masters of dynamic soaring. I watch them course effortlessly on set wings, tacking in wide turns, their wing tips narrowly clearing the swells. Now and again an albatross glides parallel with the ship’s gym, glancing in the windows at passengers labouring on treadmills—and inspiring my new stanza for Samuel Coleridge’s 1798 poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” in which an ill-fated ship is driven by winds toward the cold continent: At length did cross an albatross, Which our treadmills and ellipticals, Free weights and rowers, Nautilus And NordicTrack just could not outpull.

Not great poetry, maybe, but new stanzas seem in order, for we’re headed to a land in transformation—a new Antarctica.

“The ice was here, the ice was there, the ice was all around,” Coleridge wrote as his mariner sailed for the South Pole. Alas, there is much less ice now. Antarctica remains Earth’s last great wilderness, but global warming is bringing rapid change. The Antarctica of the next millennium is taking shape. I’ve come for an early look—and to connect with nature on a scale I have rarely seen.

A day and a half after departing Ushuaia, we’re approaching the South Shetland Islands, volcanic outliers of the Antarctic Peninsula. As we near land, we smell it before we see its point of origin—a sudden strong odour of ammonia. At the deck rail, I look for some duct behind me, assuming the smell is venting from the bowels of the ship. But the wind is off the beam. A fellow passenger and I exchange glances of wild surmise. Then, “Penguins!” she cries, pointing. The smell is wafting from a penguin rookery, my first intimation of the crazy abundance of life in Antarctica—and its assault on all of the senses.

Our ship turns in for Barrientos Island, in the middle of the South Shetlands. We coast by its cliffs of columnar black basalt. Soon we drop anchor and board the ship’s inflatable Zodiac boats to visit rookeries of gentoo and chinstrap penguins—following our noses, in effect. The gentoo, a six-kilo bird, takes the low land here. Four-kilo chinstraps are the highlanders, gathering densely atop rock outcroppings. This choice, to me, seems almost religious. Perched on stony altars—a little closer to heaven—and waggling, the birds direct their beaks up and cry out piercing hosannas. As the frenzy dies down, the beaks drop, pointing to more earthly chores: grooming feathers and feeding chicks.

My fellow passengers are as excited by all this as I am. Linda MacGregor, our most elegant dresser in the evenings, plops down in her rain pants near a gentoo nursery and grins as a moulting chick clambers toward her. The chick seems to expect her to regurgitate some krill. Had Mrs. MacGregor been able to, I believe she would have. Jann Johnson, from California, stands among the penguins, incredulous. “I know I’m here, but I don’t believe I’m here,” she exclaims to no one in particular. “It’s beyond all dreams.” As she says this, her boots are becoming smeared with guano and mud, possible contaminants that Explorer neutralizes with a battery of shipboard brushes, disinfectants, and jets of hot water. We use these both when embarking and disembarking, determined to neither export contagion to this frozen world nor import it to the ship.

***

Our expedition leader, Tom Ritchie, is as Antarctic explorers are supposed to be, ruddy and bearded. A throwback to Victorian naturalists such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, he is a generalist, free to follow his curiosity wherever it leads. Picking up a fur seal femur on the beach, he tells me it came from a juvenile, noting the unfused epiphyses at either end of the shaft. Then, hefting the skull, he adds that the juvenile was a male. Ritchie discourses on Antarctic fauna—such as it is—as easily as on botany, meteorology, geology, and ornithology.

“I’ve been coming to Antarctica for more than 30 years,” he notes. “It’s in my blood. The human history here is fascinating, the natural history like nowhere else on Earth. This is just a very dynamic place—and in some respects a dangerous, sinister place too.”

Could he be referring to the destruction humankind wrought on this remote ecosystem in the first half of the 20th century—the unchecked slaughter of whales in these southern waters, which nearly extinguished the blue whale and brutally reduced populations of the smaller krill-eating baleen whales? Antarctic wildlife is still in flux from those days. The slaughter of the whales triggered explosions in populations of other krill eaters, especially the crabeater seal, now one of the most numerous large mammals on the planet. This huge disruption of nature foreshadowed the potentially larger disturbance now being visited on Antarctica by climate variations.

As our ship works its way down the peninsula, Antarctica’s dynamism is evident everywhere. It’s in the weather, of course, which is big and volatile. It’s in the way the stark, lifeless interior meets Antarctic waters teeming with life. It’s in the juxtaposition of glaciers with volcanic formations and geothermal steam—the marriage of ice and fire. It’s also evident, more subtly, in the way ruins of human enterprise—an abandoned Argentine refugio shack, the tumbled stones of a rude, French-built meteorological lab—accentuate the vastness of the wilderness beyond.

I see little dynamism, at first, in the colours of this frozen landscape. The basic palette is the grey-black of exposed rock and the white of ice and snow. Many creatures I spot echo this grey-black white tonality, from the penguins to seagulls, seals, and killer whales. But my eye wants colour and trains itself to find it, zeroing in on the blue light glowing in glacial ice, the green of moss, the red in gentoo beaks, the orange caruncles on the face of the blue-eyed cormorant—and the lunatic cobalt of its iris. The colours here seem to live; each hue is all the warmer and more luminous for its black-and-white context.

There is, too, the temporary dynamic that Explorer brought here and would take away when we sailed: the sharp discontinuity between our life on and off board. On board are the staterooms, gift shop, fully stocked bar, and “wellness” area. Off board is infinite Antarctica, windswept, cold, alien.

At the head of Charcot Bay, on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, we spend a morning cruising Lindblad Cove in rafts as snow falls. The margins of the cove blur in mist that thins occasionally for glimpses of the surrounding peaks—bold ramparts of dark rock with steep couloirs and hanging glaciers. Our rafts proceed slowly, searching out passages through a maze of slush ice, ice floes, small icebergs, and giant tabular bergs that would have dwarfed the Titanic. Several fur seals have hauled out on their own floes. One grows enormous as we approach, resolving itself into a huge female leopard seal, 11 feet long.

“Dangerous” and “sinister” Tom Ritchie had said of Antarctica, and here, in this sleek avatar of an extraordinary continent, I find a creature worthy of the adjectives. The skull, reptilian in its contours, with a thin black line marking the wrap-around mouth, reminds me of a death’s-head mask. As I watch her, the seal yawns, and I’m startled by her immense gape. Her fanged mouth opens to nearly 90 degrees.

“Don’t change your lenses outdoors,” said photographer Cotton Coulson. “You never want to get moisture or condensation inside the camera body. Put your cameras and lenses into a plastic bag and seal them up before you bring them indoors. Once inside, place them in the coldest area you can find so they slowly warm up to the new temperature.”

Orion’s Nebula, view Vesta, Maximum Morning Mercury, Moon meets Jupiter, and Venus Charges Mars!

(Above: The Orion Nebula (M42) and Messier 43 at centre, and the Running Man Nebula at the top of the frame, are revealed in this widefield long exposure image by Manuel Guerrero of Toronto, Canada)

Astronomy “Skylights” for the week (from January 15th) by Chris Vaughan. All the times mentioned are Eastern Standard Time. If you are a camp, or a teacher interested in a guided field trip to the David Dunlap Observatory, visit www.astrogeo.ca.

News

My latest columns for Space.com preview the best astronomy sights for 2017. You can find part one here and part two here.

The Moon and Planets

For the first half of this week, the moon will flood our evening skies with light from on high, while it wanes and rises later each night. In the wee hours of Thursday morning, the moon will rise with Jupiter – sitting only two finger widths to the left (north) of the bright planet. They’ll make a nice binocular sight until the sky lightens around 7 am, when they’ll be due south. On Thursday afternoon the moon reaches Last Quarter, when it’s half illuminated (on the left). Last Quarter moons always rise about midnight and linger into the daytime morning sky. Finally, on Sunday, January 22, the old crescent moon will make a pretty sight in the eastern pre-dawn sky.

Venus continues as the brilliantly bright object visible every evening in the western sky, until it sets around 9:15 pm local time. In a telescope, Venus is showing a “half-moon” shape (phase) this week. Because the evening Ecliptic continues to tilt higher as we slide towards spring, Venus will be carried a bit higher in the evening sky before starting to sink into the sunset next month. Believe it or not, it has not yet reached peak brightness!

Meanwhile, reddish Mars makes a steady march towards Venus this week, the two planets closing to within 6° (about a palm’s width) by next Sunday. Mars sets about 9:50 pm local time. Rounding out the evening planets, blue-green Uranus is halfway up the southwestern sky at dusk - just inside the western (right) arm of the “V” of Pisces the Fishes. The planet sets about 12:30 am local time. Recently it has formed a nice little triangle with two of Pisces’ stars, the double star Zeta and 88 Piscium. Uranus (the blue-green object) sits about a pinky finger width (40 arc-minutes) to the upper left of the two stars. Tiny Neptune is in Aquarius the Water-bearer, a few degrees to the lower right of Venus, and it sets about 9 pm local time.

(Above: The evening planets, shown at 7:45 pm local time on January 18, 2017.)

This is the last week when bright, white Jupiter will be rising in the east after midnight local time. Next week, it officially transitions to an evening object! This winter, it’s been sitting just a few finger widths above the bright white star Spica in Virgo the Maiden. By daybreak, it’s moved above the southern horizon. Saturn is rising this week about 5:15 am local time. You should easily see its yellowish dot low in the east for half an hour before sunrise, while the sky is still dark.

On Thursday, January 19, before dawn, Mercury will reach its greatest angle west of the sun, and reach maximum visibility for this apparition. Mercury is now sitting about 10° to the lower left of Saturn. If you can find a low eastern horizon, look for the planet between about 6:30 and 6:50 am local time. With Mercury just a bit higher than a shallow ecliptic, this apparition is less than ideal for northern hemisphere observers (the next excellent one happens on April 1), but quite good, seen from the southern hemisphere.

(Above: The old moon joins Jupiter and the morning planets on January 19, 2017, shown at 6:30 am local time.)

Dwarf Planet Vesta, anyone?

On Tuesday, January 17, the large asteroid Vesta reaches opposition, the date when it is closest to earth and brightest for the year. It is sitting high in the evening sky, just below the twin stars of Castor and Pollux in Gemini. Its proper designation is (4) Vesta because it was the fourth asteroid discovered, by German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers on March 29, 1807. It is named after the Roman goddess of home and hearth, Vesta. At apparent magnitude 6.1, the asteroid is observable with unaided eyes (under really dark skies), binoculars, and small telescopes. Its motion through the background stars can be noted by observing it on separate evenings.

(Above: Vesta’s motion through the background stars can be seen by observing it on separate evenings, shown here from Nov 1, 2016 to Mar 5, 2017)

Orion Nebula

Last week, we toured most of Orion the Hunter’s major stars (read it here). This time, we’ll focus on his majestic sword, one of winter’s true astronomical treats. The sword hangs well below Orion’s distinctive three-starred belt. Unaided eyes can generally detect three patches of light in Orion’s sword, but binoculars or a telescope quickly reveal that the middle object is not a star at all, but a bright knot of glowing gas and stars known as The Orion Nebula (or the Great Nebula in Orion or Messier 42, aka M42). For best seeing, pick an evening when the moon rises late or is out of the sky – as it will be next week!

The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the entire night sky and, at 1,400 light-years distant, it is one of the closest star-forming nurseries to us. It’s enormous. Under a very dark sky, the nebula can be traced over an area equivalent to four Full Moons!

Buried in the core of the nebula is a tight clump of stars collectively designated Theta Orionis (Orionis is Latin for “of Orion”), but better known as The Trapezium, because the brightest four stars occupy the corners of a trapezoid shape. Even a small telescope should be able to pick out this four-star asterism, but good seeing conditions and a larger aperture scope will show another two faint stars. The trapezium stars are hot young O- and B-type stars that are emitting intense amounts of ultraviolet radiation. The radiation causes the gas they are embedded in to shine brightly, by both reflecting off gas and dust as blue light and also by energizing Hydrogen gas, which is re-emitted as red light. That is why there is so much purple in colour images of the nebula.

Within the nebula, astronomers have also detected many young (about 100,000 years old) concentrations of collapsing gas called proplyds that should one day form future solar systems. These objects give us a glimpse into how our sun and planets formed.

Stargazers have long known about the stars in the nebula’s core, but detection of the nebulosity around them required the invention of telescopes in the early 1600’s. In the 1700’s, Charles Messier and Edmund Halley (both famous comet observers) noted the object in their growing catalogues of “fuzzy” objects. In 1880, Henry Draper imaged it through an 11-inch refractor telescope, making it the first deep sky object to be photographed.

In your own small telescope, you should see the bright clump of Trapezium stars surrounded by a ghostly grey shroud, complete with bright veils and dark gaps. More photons would need to be delivered to your eye before colour would be observed, so try photographing it through your telescope or a camera/telephoto lens on a tripod. Visually, start with low magnification and enjoy the extent of the cloud before zooming in on the tight asterism. Can you see four stars, or more? Just to the upper left of M42, you’ll find M43, a separate lobe of the nebula. It surrounds the unaided-eye star nu Orionis (ν Ori).

(Above: The sword below Orion’s famous belt (at top) contains the wonderful Orion Nebula and many other binocular and telescopic treats.)

While you’re touring the sword, look just below the nebula for a loose group of stars, 1300 light-years away, called Nair al Saif “the Bright One of the Sword”. This main star is a hot, bright star expected to explode in a supernova one day. It is surrounded by faint nebulosity, too. Astronomers believe that this star was gravitationally kicked out of the Trapezium cluster about 2.5 million years ago.

Sweeping down the sword and to the left (east) brings us to the star d Orionis at the tip of the sword. This magnitude 4.7 star is near the limit for visibility in moonless suburban skies. About two finger widths to its right is another star of similar brightness, named Thabit, "the endurer".

Moving upwards towards Orion’s belt, half a finger width (30 arc-minutes, or the moon’s diameter) above the Orion Nebula, you’ll find another clump of stars dominated by c Orionis and 45 Orionis. A larger telescope, or a long-exposure photograph, reveals a bluish patch of nebulosity around them that contains darker lanes forming the shape of a figure, called the Running Man Nebula. This is another case of gas reflecting light from the two stars mentioned.

(Above: The Running Man Nebula taken by Dave Eisfeldt of Waco, Texas on Oct 26, 2011 with a ATIK 314L:+ camera through a Orion ED-80 telescope on Sirius EQ-G mount. http://eldoradostarparty.org/ngc-1977-running-man-nebula-taken-by-dave-eisfeldt-of-waco-texas/)

Just above the Running Man sits a loose cluster of a few dozen stars best seen in binoculars. Then we jump higher – most of the way towards Alnitak (the eastern-most belt star), to check out a beautiful little grouping of stars collectively called Sigma Orionis. What makes this a special treat is that, in a small telescope, we find four or five stars crammed together. Check it out with your telescope – trust me, it’s pretty! It’s a bit more than a finger width to the lower right of Alnitak. Let me know what you see!

Keep looking up to enjoy the sky! I love getting questions so, if you have any, send me a note.

Eliminate Your Fears And Doubts About Asiatic Lily Perennial | Asiatic Lily Perennial

Eliminate Your Fears And Doubts About Asiatic Lily Perennial | Asiatic Lily Perennial – Lilies are extremely elegant flowers which may have clearly been appreciated and loved for a very long time frame. These are just a few of the reasons why a lilies bouquet will be a great conjunction with any household.

Lilies bloom throughout summer, and have an incredible scent, which is used to attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. They are very popular the planet over, have been voiced of in literature plus painted by famous artists. Even today, a lilies bouquet is very well received as a result of flowers’ attractiveness.

Lilies were first pointed out on a tablet coming from Sumeria about 5000 many years ago, where they have been described to surround a city. Yet , the Pop-queen lily, for instance, was dealt with with much respect simply by the Minoans, who associated it with the goddess Britomartis. Of much higher importance it absolutely was to typically the Greeks, because they connected it with Hera, the particular queen of gods. Additionally, their mythology tells the lily first appeared on Earth after Hera’s breast milk stained the skies, creating the Milky Way, and a few falls of it fell down to be able to the ground. Those falls, the legend goes, started to be the first lilies.

Actually, the very word “lily” comes “lilium”, its name in Latin, which originated from “leirion��, its name inside Greek. Later on, typically the Romans also started to be able to share the Greeks’ regard for your flower, and tied it in with their particular own queen of gods. Even one of their own poets, Virgil, who lived between 70 to nineteen BC spoke of the flowers in some associated with his poems.

A lilies bouquet is yet a very effective messenger, because of the particular things lilies symbolize. To be able to the Greeks, they intended birth and renewal, mainly because they associated it with the legend regarding Hera. On the other hand, they represented purity and innocence for the Christians, who associated the blossoms with virgin Mary. Moreover, the three petals in the lily flower is usually considered to represent the trinity. Whichever meaning speaks to be able to you, body fat denying of which they are a really positive symbol.

When organizing a lilies bouquet, consider away leaves around the comes, as having them underwater will only end upwards making the water devious and the whole agreement will become unappealing. And then, cut-off about 2 centimeter through the stems, and carry out so in a diagonal collection to increase the assimilation area. If possible, contain the stems underwater while performing the cut to prevent formation of air pockets within them. As the particular stamens from the flowers develop, make sure to cut them because when falling, they will end upward staining everything they touch. Finally, replace the water every single few days and add flower food, in order to make sure that the lilies bridal bouquet are usually well fed.

Along with this type of history behind all of them and such beautiful symbolism carried in their sturdy petals, it is zero surprise that lilies are loved a lot. Many will certainly tell you that these people like the flowers’ shape, or perhaps their amazing scent that will can easily fill a good entire room, but will be certainly so much more to them than the way they will appear. A gift — for someone, or for yourself- of a lilies bouquet is an excellent reminder regarding love and proof of attention that will certainly bring a smile even about the saddest face.
