It's Moon Landing Day!
On this, Tumblr's first celebration of Moon Landing Day, my insomnia and I bring you this humble, barely researched post of fast facts!
On July 20, 1969 at 4:17 p.m. EDT Apollo 11 becomes the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.
Neil Armstrong (commander), Buzz Aldrin (lunar module pilot) and Michael Collins (command module pilot) were the crew.
The Apollo 11 spacecraft consisted of the command module, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle.
The crew traveled 240,000 miles from the Earth to the moon in 76 hours.

1:47 p.m. EDT Armstrong and Aldrin, in the lunar module Eagle, separate from the command module. Collins remains onboard the Columbia orbiting the moon.
4:17 p.m. EDT - The Eagle lands.
4:18 p.m. EDT - “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed,” Armstrong reports. When the lunar module lands on the moon’s surface at the Sea of Tranquility, it has less than 40 seconds of fuel left.
10:56 p.m. EDT - Armstrong says, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” as he becomes the first human to set foot on the moon.
11:15 p.m. EDT (approx.) - Buzz Aldrin joins Armstrong on the moon. The men read from a plaque signed by the three crew members and the president, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”
11:48 p.m. EDT - President Nixon speaks to Armstrong and Aldrin via radio from the Oval Office, “(it) certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made.” They speak for two minutes and the call is televised on both ends.
Armstrong and Aldrin spend over two hours collecting moon rock samples and data, and spend the night on board the Eagle.

Also it's been 1 year since I first posted Its Name Was Cesar Torres and started writing Hail, True Body AU! To those who read it and have continued to support it past Part 1, thank you so much! It truly means an awful lot, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the story as it continues this year! :)

And now, an excerpt of Death Suits You, my new alicole fic:
"You're the only one I can tell these things to." Alicent confided to him. Criston kissed the palm resting on his cheek. They stayed looking at each other, shamelessly, helplessly. Alicent felt how heavy his gaze was, because he never condemned anything she does, because he looks at her as if she a celestial blessing. It scares her, because she knows how deep his devotion is, she knows the extention of his and her feelings. And if she asks, he will give in. 
She wants him to give in, it's what they deserve.

Norges Skål
The song was written in 1771 as a drinking song for the “Norske Selskab”, Norwegian students in Denmark. It was confiscated and banned when it was tried published because of the strong Norwegian patriotic contents, and was not officially published until 13 years later, in Trondheim 1784, 30 years before Norway became independent.
Gratulerer med dagen! Ha en god 17. mai 🥰
Listen along here.

A modern recording of the song here and Norwegian lyrics under.
Norges Skaal.
For Norge, Kjæmpers Fødeland, Vi denne Skaal vil tømme, Og naar vi først faae Blod paa Tand, Vi sødt om Frihed drømme; Dog vaagne vi vel op engang Og bryde Lænker, Baand og Tvang; For Norge, Kjæmpers Fødeland, Vi denne Skaal udtømme!
Hver tapper Helt, blandt Klipper fød, Vi drikke vil til Ære; Hver ærlig Norsk, som Lænker brød, Skal evig elsket være! Den vrede Livvagts Vaabenbrag Forklarer trolig Nordmænds Sag. Hver ærlig Norsk, blandt Klipper fød, Vi drikke nu til Ære!
En Skaal for Dig, min kjække Ven, Og for de norske Piger! Og har Du en, saa Skaal for den! Og Skam faae den, som sviger! Og Skam faae den, som elsker Tvang Og hader Piger, Viin og Sang! En Skaal for Dig min kjække Ven, Og for de norske Piger!
Og nok en Skaal for Norges Fjeld, For Klipper, Snee og Bakker! Hør Dovres Echo raabe: "Held!" For Skaalen tre Gang takker. Ja tre Gang tre skal alle Fjeld For Norges Sønner raabe Held; Endnu en Skaal for Dig mit Fjeld, For Klipper, Snee og Bakker!

I love that "going crazy" is unironically framed as a necessary step towards character development and empowerment
This series is something else

How do I even introduce him again.. Here's the man himself, Kisaki!! I am so happy to finally have an updated ref for him! His other ref is almost five years old...
Honestly working on this and Tagashei's ref just made me so happy, I gave them both slight redesigns and I'm very happy! As always, info below! o(*°▽°*)o
Dr. Kisaki Hizarou
213 cm tall (without heels)
Male
Limbo-Altered Entity (partial)
Tagashei’s husband and Alice’s father!
A famous scientist known for his breakthrough research in organ creation.
Initially a withdrawn, shy individual, Kisaki became his energetic (and somewhat scary) self overtime due to his constant exposure to deities being taken to Limbo.
At the time, he didn’t know anyone else who could understand Limbo, nor could he tell anyone. This ate away at him constantly.
When they were both human, Kisaki spent most of his time desperately trying to perfect his organ creation, so he could make a new heart for Tagashei, who was in dire need of one.
Unfortunately, Kisaki’s life was cut short just as he started making progress.
He was unruly after his passing, not taking the moment to decide which kind of deity he wanted to become, he ran into the demon realm while trying to find a way back to save Tagashei.
It is because of his urgency to get out that his biology didn’t properly adjust to his new demon form. His heart failed to properly form the chamber responsible for magic production. Kisaki didn’t care.
It is hard to pinpoint when Kisaki finally snaps and becomes his seemingly careless, laugh-at-everything attitude, but it is most likely around the time he found Tagashei’s grave.
Not knowing what to do now, he continued his work, creating a heart for Tagashei.
Feeling as though he failed him, he approached the local hospital with his work.
Years later, Kisaki and Tagashei reconnect. They work to create Alice. Kisaki’s organ creation extended beyond organs, he was able to create an entire human in a lab.
A few years later, Kisaki is approached by Mirror Kagami. He offers him a position in a lab specializing in disease creation for the purpose of fighting against them. Kisaki is immediately suspicious, but agrees to join.
He created the first sample of Rapid Corpus- a disease which is supposed to target only angels and demons, rapidly promoting bone and blood production to a fatal degree.
Kisaki then kills this sample in front of the head researchers. When they demand he create another one, he refuses. When they ask him for his notes on creating it, he smiles and says there are none. He calls them out, knowing why they wanted such a fatal disease so carelessly created.
Kisaki promptly causes the lab to explode, killing a large number of angels.
This severely throws off the balance of powers. Galvarium appears to take him to Limbo. She is confused and shocked to see Kisaki.
He explains his reasoning. Hearing Mirror’s name is enough for Galvarium to believe him.
Kisaki is released from Limbo not long after, thus being only a partial LAE.
When Kisaki returns to his family, he isolates himself from Tagashei- he knew he was being watched by Mirror’s organization, and didn’t want Tagashei being killed again because of him.
Finding out years later that Tagashei’s body mutated the Rapid Corpus disease made him extremely happy. Not only was he immune to any targeted attacks from Mirror’s organization, but now he could study Tagashei’s Mad Rabbit form, and create a mutated strain of the disease for defense purposes.
During the final arc is when Kisaki reaches his complete Limbo form, known as Alpha Decay Kisaki.
During their fight with Reflection of Mirror β, Kisaki (as Alpha Decay) and Tagashei (as Mad Rabbit) form Monarchy of Hearts.
He is part of the Court of Limbo (which consists of Galvarium, Pandora, Fate, and Medlo)!
Here's some design notes!
Kisaki's hair usually looks like normal hair, but he sometimes appears to have molecule structures floating around. How he does this, no one knows.
Kisaki purposefully wears the loudest shoes possible- it lets people know he's approaching, giving them a head start if they need to leave.
His wedding ring was made by Tagashei!
He does have the emblem visible on Alpha Decay with him prior to reaching that state, but keeps it in his pocket.
His blood is really bright green, he probably modified it to be that colour.
His eyes flicker like radiation caught on camera, that sort of fuzzy texture.
You will never see him without his coat.
He has four black earrings- two on each ear.
He needs his glasses to see well, he can manage without them but he prefers wearing them.
I'm attaching Alpha Decay here too because again I'll take any chance to show him off...
Tumblr media
And of course I have him and Tagashei together! I worked on their refs on the same canvas so they're actually to scale with each other (✿◕‿◕✿)
Tumblr media
They'll kick your ass
