Questioning Sentence Starters // Still Accepting@toprotectandscrve asked: "You know who's behind this, don't you?" -Walter

Isaac giggles. It's a small, but shrill sound that almost always suggests misbehavior on the doctor's part. Of course he knows who's behind this, he's Isaac fucking Doyle.

But, outright stating it would be too easy. Why would he do that when he can wring just a little bit more fun out of this? So, he simply shrugs his shoulders.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Maybe it was easy as pie to figure out. Maybe I'm still stumped. Maybe I'll tell you the truth, if you make it worth my while."

💗 is there a scene you can't wait to write in ToT?

ahahahahaha I am going to throwback to my Contextless Spoilers post and say this one:

be honest, what is your biggest regret?

send me "be honest..." with a question your muse has been dying to ask mine and they'll answer truthfully.

Air whistles through sharpened teeth as Silas draws in a deep breath. He's unsure of how to answer the question, or rather how should he. A thousand regrets weigh heavy upon his shoulders, and a thousand more fall behind him. A life long lived breeds regret like rats unchecked.

"A failure comes to mind. Specifically, failing to protect a dear loved one. But I'm aware enough to know it couldn't be helped. If you'd like something I did have the power to change, then I'll tell simply tell you that I greatly regret not spending more time with said loved one."

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

When I was like 15 I dated this guy named Wes and we would roleplay Soriel so then when we broke up it made me have a vendetta against the ship for a few years. You made me like them again though so thanks. Also I'm a lesbian now.

🎲 - Do you have a favorite board game?

Munday Questions // Still Accepting @kylo-wrecked

Not sure if you could call it a favorite, but I've really been enjoying Arkham Horror. I've only had the chance to play it two or three times, but I enjoyed it enough to take the plunge and buy the base game and two expansions.

Hiya! You're one of the ones who got me into SVSSS (well, into the fandom, sometimes catching up on original works is harder than forcefully absorbing large bits of the plot through fic osmosis) and now I kinda want to talk about some guys. Would you be interested?

Heck yes, I am always down to talk about some guys

#svsss #also the app is horrible for showing messages and this is the first time I've been on tumblr desktop version in a while #idk how old this ask is so I'm just sitting here PRAYING you still want to talk about Some Guys #asks&answers

What do you mean by Venus floating cities?

I'm hoping to write a science fiction story about visiting Venus as part of the space race and I would love your input

Alright so the thing with Venus is that we're all very familiar with her horrible hell-death clouds and 900°F surface temperatures. We all understand the surface of Venus is not a fun place for humans to be.

But, nobody ever talks about the fact that ABOVE the hell-death clouds, Venus is a paradise. The most Earth-like environment we know of in the solar system, beyond Earth itself, is actually in the skies of Venus.

About 30 miles above the surface, the pressure is ~1 atmosphere, and the temperature ranges from 30 - 100°F, which is Happy Human™ standard pressure and temperature.

What's more, a breathable mix of oxygen and nitrogen provides over 60% the lifting power on Venus that helium does on Earth. In other words, a balloon full of human-breathable air would float to the habitable range of Venus's atmosphere. We could float a ship with the very air we breathe.

The other great thing about this is that it avoids one of the big problems with Mars colonization. On Mars, any habitat on the surface full of breathable air is vulnerable to leaks and explosive decompression, a la the Martian.

Floating on Venus, a balloon full of breathable air doesn't have a significant pressure difference between the inside and the outside. Which means, any leaks or tears would be very slow and manageable. You could fix that shit with duct tape!

Similarly, because the environment outside the balloon is so Earth-like, humans living there wouldn't need any big fancy pressurized suits for extravehicular work. We'd need air to breathe, maybe some heat protection, and protection against the acid rain. That's it. 

Venus also provides the tools to keep us fed! It's atmosphere is made primarily of carbon dioxide, even above the dense horrible clouds. What likes carbon dioxide? Plants from Earth!! Lets grow FOOD on FLOATING PLATFORMS in the SKIES of VENUS.

This whole idea actually came out of a NASA effort exploring potential Venus colonization. The program was called HAVOC - the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept.

It hasn't really gone anywhere, and as far as I know there are no real plans to revisit it. Unfortunately, from a practicality standpoint, Mars is a much more viable target for human colonization. Not only is it better poised for outer solar system exploration, being farther away from the sun, but living on Venus would come with too many complicated contingencies. In the event of a major failure on Venus, you'd need to fly to another base, or fuck off all the way to orbit. I understand why people aren't really in a hurry to live somewhere where landing on the surface means certain death.

But that doesn't mean I won't be forever and always enamored by the skies of Venus. Here's one of the artist concepts to come out of HAVOC.

I want to be there.
