Hi Pia.
I'm curious; do you think Mallory and Mount is going to be as 'epic' or as complex as Fae tales Verse?
And do you mind sharing some of it's worldbuilding with us?
Hi anon!
Mallory & Mount will have more complex building than the Fae Tales Verse, because it's not set on earth at all. It has different names for the days of the week, the months of the year, and its currency system is different, for a start. It has different festivals per different culture. It has new species of dog, and tree, and bird, for example (though some are recognisably based on dogs and trees and birds we have here).
It won't be as epic in some ways however because the characters aren't fae, so their stories can't stretch across decades in the same way. They can't heal from the same bombastic ridiculous injuries. They can't go and literally die and then literally come back from the dead because a Mage sacrificed some of her lifespan to save someone. In fact many of the characters have chronic illnesses and disabilities.
And it won't be as long, I don't think. The length of Fae Tales is now daunting to many new readers. So I don't really want to write a series that long again.
It will definitely be epic in other ways though! There are definitely life and death stakes, a lot of dangers, and big potentially morality destroying decisions on the line.
There's a metric fuckton of worldbuilding that has gone into the Mallory & Mount world, enough that I have a 150+ page private Wiki about it complete with hyperlinks. I'm going to share one file lol:
Blaubaas: Horse
A heavy drafthorse originating in Skemmerlicht and also found in Donwall, who often trade blaubass for the Whytefern draft. Blaubass means 'blue boss.'
They are blue-to-black drafthorses with a heavy winter coat, suited for mountaineering, difficult journeys and sled-pulling. They are slow but determined and weather dock-work well, and do not stain as badly as the Whytefern draft. Frugal and economical on food, and survives well on horsebread.
Function: Crate and stock pulling, carriages, heavy transport, mountain passes, cold weather journeys.
-
I know it's not that interesting, anon, but I really don't want to reveal any spoilers yet, and I'm worried I will. You can always check out the mandm tag for more about the world itself.
#asks and answers#mandm#mallory and mount#mallory & mount#tbh it's very intimidating worldbuilding#and i think such a complex world will be offputting to readers#so i'm now starting to think it'll be a bad idea in its current form#to launch#and i've been thinking about putting the characters in another world first lmao#to drive up some interest#but who knows

I am a violin maker learning to tattoo so here is a banana with the decoration from the Hellier Strad violin
#once a violin maker...#quite pleased with this#it's my first attempt at hand poke#although i did accidently launch the needle at the banana at one point#like a dart into a dart board#probably a human would complain more about that than the banana did

desperately craving weird surrealist arthurania. Knights with no faces wandering through the mists. Seams between Christian and pre-Christian Britain gaping like open wounds. Beafts and visions. Maybe a monk. Maybe the monk is gay
#This post brought to you by remembering that The Green Knight exists#and longing to live in the alternate universe where it launched a whole genre of high quality queer indie arthurania retellings#craving themes of guilt honor repression wildness etc etc#bonus points if it includes critique of the whole divine right of kings English empire imaginary that can accompany Arthur retellings#I would write it myself but alas! I have no brain#Mine

Bruce: Robin, this is Superman
Clark: hello! it’s a pleasure to meet-
Robin!Dick: Can you throw me?
Clark: I’m sorry what?
Robin!Dick: I said can you throw me with all your strength into the sky!
Clark: No?!? Why?!? You would die!
Robin!Dick: I won’t die I’m built different!!!! Throw me!! I wanna taste the clouds and see how many flips I can do!!
Bruce: *long dad sigh*
Clark: clouds just taste like water!
Robin!Dick: Sounds like something someone might say if they wanted all the tasty clouds to themselves!
Clark: What?!?
Years Later
Dick: Uncle Clark?
Clark: No, I will not.
Dick: >:(

Danny and vlad have a fight. Out of amity. As danny fenton and vlad masters. With a bit of ghostly strength. In metropolis. In broad daylight
Ok look they didn't mean for it to happen they were both stressed neither expected to see them out of amity and they were just bantering but then vlad brought up Danny's mom and well things got a bit out of hand some punches were thrown someone was bitten some things were thrown... some metal things were thrown hard
And look its not their fault honest they were so engrossed in their argument (that was an argument someone off to the side whispers) that they didn't notice him approaching them
And he couldn't exactly stop the punch when vlad dodged out of the way, and he really didn't know the guy in blue with a cape was behind him
And danny swears he didn't mean to punch the guy through that wall or that other wall
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dc x dp#dcxdp#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc crossover#i don't know what was going through my mind#i just really wanted vlad and dan y to be having a fight and accidentally launching superman away with a punch

GREAT WORK MISTER MUSK!
Yeah you don't need a flame diverter. Fuck that shit. Oh, for anyone that doesn't know what the super wise Elon Musk is talking about here when you have a MASSIVE rocket shooting out so much fire that it lifts itself into space that energy needs to go somewhere.
Here's a good demonstration:
youtube
Anyway, Elon is smart! He bought a degree in engineering or something because it's more efficient than actually going to college and learning things!
So he knows he doesn't need that shit.
Oh.
Okay so there was a teeeeeny little bit of damage. That doesn't look too bad. Wait are those stairs on the left? They are. Okay so there's a kinda big crater.
Wait.
Where did two stories worth of stuff go?
Well, here's a video of shit flying up and almost destroying the rocket, watch from about +0.06 to +0.09 to see enormous concrete chunks making it halfway up the booster.
Also it was raining concrete nearby. So uh. That's cool.
Great job Elon. Amazing work.

🇵🇸 ZINE FOR PALESTINE GOING LIVE 🇵🇸
ZINE4PALESTINE.BIGCARTEL.COM
Z4P is a non-profit artistic initiative aimed at raising funds for Care For Gaza, an organization providing direct support to families of Palestine. The zine showcases exclusive creations from 10 French artists from diverse backgrounds, all contributing their talents to support Palestinian families.
with the participation of @heuffopla @towwypng @1bt1cem-blog and many others who don't use tumblr
Aware that many of you would like to contribute providing humanitarian aid in the face of the atrocities Palestinians are enduring, we've chosen to create art. This way, you can still be a part of it –essentially, you make a donation by purchasing, and in return, you receive cool art made with love while helping a great cause!
Individual prints of the artworks are also available on the website —reblogs and shares are deeply appreciated!
#i hope that this project will inspire other people to launch similar initiatives. feeling powerless only benefits the oppressor#but if we all help in our own way#no matter how small#it can make a difference!! now is not the time to get discouraged!#please share!!!#zine for palestine#illustration#free palestine#my art ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ)#palestine#gaza#free gaza#mahmoud darwish#zine#sana's thoughts ☆

Setting Sail to Travel Through Space: 5 Things to Know about our New Mission
Our Advanced Composite Solar Sail System will launch aboard Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand no earlier than April 23, at 6 p.m. EDT. This mission will demonstrate the use of innovative materials and structures to deploy a next-generation solar sail from a CubeSat in low Earth orbit.
Here are five things to know about this upcoming mission:
1. Sailing on Sunshine
Solar sails use the pressure of sunlight for propulsion much like sailboats harness the wind, eliminating the need for rocket fuel after the spacecraft has launched. If all goes according to plan, this technology demonstration will help us test how the solar sail shape and design work in different orbits.
2. Small Package, Big Impact
The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System spacecraft is a CubeSat the size of a microwave, but when the package inside is fully unfurled, it will measure about 860 square feet (80 square meters) which is about the size of six parking spots. Once fully deployed, it will be the biggest, functional solar sail system – capable of controlled propulsion maneuvers – to be tested in space.
3. Second NASA Solar Sail in Space
If successful, the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System will be the second NASA solar sail to deploy in space, and not only will it be much larger, but this system will also test navigation capabilities to change the spacecraft’s orbit. This will help us gather data for future missions with even larger sails.
4. BOOM: Stronger, Lighter Booms
Just like a sailboat mast supports its cloth sails, a solar sail has support beams called booms that provide structure. The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System mission’s primary objective is to deploy a new type of boom. These booms are made from flexible polymer and carbon fiber materials that are stiffer and 75% lighter than previous boom designs. They can also be flattened and rolled like a tape measure. Two booms spanning the diagonal of the square (23 feet or about 7 meters in length) could be rolled up and fit into the palm of your hand!
5. It’s a bird...it’s a plane...it’s our solar sail!
About one to two months after launch, the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System spacecraft will deploy its booms and unfurl its solar sail. Because of its large size and reflective material, the spacecraft may be visible from Earth with the naked eye if the lighting conditions and orientation are just right!
To learn more about this mission that will inform future space travel and expand our understanding of our Sun and solar system, visit https://www.nasa.gov/mission/acs3/.

it’s wild hearing people talk about stardew valley before ginger island was a thing. honestly it’s wild to think that i played this game for years before ginger island existed. also, it’s wild to think that starting today, there’s a wealth of new content that i will probably wonder how i lived without years down the line.
#stardew valley#stardew valley 1.6#i swear this game is like double the size that it was at launch#and i LOVED it when it was still new#i went back and looked and turns out i bought the game during version 1.1 lol
