#ITS THE SPACE NERD!!

[cluelessbees]

Since it’s Hubbles birthday tomorrow :D (the day it officially launched aka April 24) I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CUTE TO SHARE THE PHOTOS HUBBLE TOOK ON OUR BIRTHDAYS!

This is mine!

It’s a galaxy cluster (so basically a bunch of galaxies) and you can see that it’s gravitational pull is so strong it bends light (which is very cool to me ngl MAJSKANAJ)

Here’s the link if anyone else wanted to do it to!

it’s really interesting to me that Gabriel checks in on his brother so much despite how Miguel can often act and that he is in-text called insecure and that he follows along with his various girlfriends interests and that he so often wears so many layers and that he has a cyberspace addiction and that his archetype in cyberspace is just himself (which could be the comic just making it easier for us to know who’s who, but what a boring way to take it). And how willing he is to fight and do good but also ‘neither of my sons were ever worth much in a fight’ and how he asks for help but also ‘i can take care of myself’. do you get me.

#i am once again rambling #spiderman #gabriel o’ hara #silly little textposts #sm2099 #one day i might actually write the trans gabe essay but until then it will remain hc #HES JUST SO INTERESTING #like its about the spaces between #how these all fit together into the same character yknow #i do desperately want to make a spider gabe au cause i think it'd be so interesting from both sides #anyway. lmao look at this nerd (me) #really cant think today but my head is full and also im trying to not be mad about atsv fandom miguel so. gabe it is!

holds hands to their face

the thought of anita staring out, weither it was to strung a guitar or in the middle of the project, or just staring out. eyes blank, feeling afloat. floating. floating.

floating until two set of hands on their shoulders- each hand held firm and soft. but different.

and anita blinks, life in their eyes come, and they look up. behind them. ortega with her firm hand, and mortum with her soft hand.

anchors. how it is possible to have two anchors.

of course having two anchors hold you down from floating away, of course it kept you from losing yourself- who you were and who you are now.

and simply. ............. yeah.

#fhr #sidestep: anita lee #everytime i think about this kind of possible relationship #its gonna be a LONG way to even achieve that SDJHGSHJKDGJHSJHGHJG #current anita still give mortum space AND julia broke their goddamn trust #like on one hand #hehehehe im so excited to see the outcome of these!! #on the other hand.... #SHAKING ANITAS SHOULDERS!!! you!!!!! had make my life harder!!!!!! #its kinda funny bc NORMALLY julita is my thing but i love drawing poly stuff and mortum just feel right for neets #SO GESTURES!!! #anyway im uh ahem #myaus | mortumchargestep aka nerd fuckers #<- i know i shouldve make it as a ship tag but for now its like. crack ship??? for now??? BC MORTUM AND ORTEGA HADNT INTERACT!! IN GAME!!! #i want two people making anita feel more deserved and home and. rooting for destroying whatever is it???? #also i should honestly draw a belated birthday for neets soon #i didnt bc i was completely offline break except for discord ofc

#basil blabbers #in my brain i have something all sappy to say but im too nervous to put it on the post proper! so you get silly little tag rambles instead #its been a long time since ive felt *part* of a fandom. #and some of that was my own fault. after [an event lmao] i really struggled to put myself into fandom spaces actively. #so for a good while i just kind of??? i dunno???? ghosted? on the edge of fandom. too scared to actually engage #but like. and heres where it gets sappy i guess. in my time in the i.s.at fandom (however short it may be so far) ive been like. in! #i recognize people in the tags! i know them by name! they know *me* by name! its something i havent had in a long time. #and its really pleasant. at risk of sounding like a huge nerd: thank you all for being so kind to me. #how weird! to be noticed and known.

They going to WAR for fat men over Sza’s little “big boy” sound but when the topic is fat women it looks reeaaaal different. Especially fat black women. Like when do you ever see fat women get defended like that? To this day Lizzo can’t catch a break. When plus size women want good representation were “pushing a fat agenda” or “promoting unhealthy lifestyles and death” and whatever tf else but when it’s men it’s all good? The fake outrage and pickin and choosin is truly something else. Over and snl skit at that. Like let's bfr

I don't care what y'all say. WONHO, WINSTON, JASON, ROMAN, FLORIAN & the likes of them are ALL BIG BOYS. Big is big regardless if it's muscle, fat, height, or whatever mixture in between. The same standards niggas apply to us, I'm throwing right tf back on em cause what do y'all think this is??? They get “dad bod” and we get “mommy makeover”. Miss me with that.

#big boy #like bffr #a big boy is a big boy #its cool when they do it #yams #black women #black women nerds #if he can pick my thick chubby a$$ up its a wrap #ranting again lol #plus size reader #plus size safe space #Plus size black women

#ok. this is the fucking bullshit thing abt grad school. u go to fucking grad school bc u r a fucking tryhard nerd freak #who is either naturally very smart or ur so fucking anxious u r incapable of allowing urself to get a bad grad #and then u go to fucking grad school and everyone's like: man fuck ur classes. if youre getting streight As then u aren't focusing on ur #research. and theyre right. but u still cant fucking let go of the idea that if u get a bad grad the world is gonna fucking end and u r a #bad person. u didnt try hard enough. all this to say i have a final project that i put way too much energy into and not even in a good way #i would just open the document. start sobbing. and then close it and spiral abt how i didn't want to work on it. so its bullshit #i mean. its a good project idea ans i probably sound like i kno wtf im talking abt bc i do. i worked on that topic for 4 years but like #i could make it wayyyyy better. its bullshit. i didnt even number the citations to give more page space. i made section headers. i didnt #wrap text. i could add like 4 more lines of text if i wanted but i think im not gotta bc fuck it. ugh. i dont even. i fucking avoide #stochastic stuff altogether which i kno im gonna have to fight abt but like fuck it who cares abt randomness. i just wanna focus on the #predictably aspect of community composition. fuck u. i shouldnt have picked this topic. i mean. i had to bc its like the one microbe thing #i could do but its also like the exact topic that makes me wanna rip my hair out and start screaming. like jesus christ who tf cares? ugh. #i think id give myself a B if it was an undergrad class. but the standard is higher in an all grad class. ugh. i hate this. i should just #send it abd be done. i dont even kno when its due tomorrow. before class i guess. idk i felt like garbage today. fucking vertigo bby. i feel #ok now tho. so maybe the allergic reacting is over???? fingers r still arthritisy tho. jesus. im falling apart #ive got a pretty good sounding excuse for being lazy tho: owo i had an allergic reaction to my antidepressants 🥳 but nah no excuses we run #this body into the ground. like the good old days. #unrelated

may I ask about xisuma ^-^

YES you may ask about Xisuma and also anyone else you wish!

Xisuma is of Anseran ancestry, which is a particularly far-flung bit of space relative to our solar system. Most people find him quite intimidating at first, because Anser’s relative gravity is on the strong side so he has a lot more bulk than most species, and because his atmospheric filters cover most of his head. But this actually helps save him in the crash; his strength allows him to move debris the others can’t, and the atmospheric filters allow him to effectively breathe underwater. (All spacefaring Anserans have these atmospheric filters, because their native atmosphere is wildly different from nearly every other species known to the galaxy. As such, the filters can recreate Anseran air in pretty much any circumstance save the void of space or being encased in solid rock.)

Of course, the initial impression is all wrong. He’s still a derp, despite his expertise in cybersecurity and his newfound position as Captain Ren’s second-in-command. At the start of the story, when he’s still the only one who can regularly dive deep enough for materials thanks to his filters, he at one point tries to pet a pengwing and gets so startled by its teeth that the other survivors think he's dead from how loud he screamed. He spends five minutes trying to use a scanner to cut through a door when he needs a laser cutter. When Joe gets philosophical about the environmental impact they’re leaving on this uninhabited planet, he very clearly gets absolutely lost trying to follow along. He’s a derp and a sweetheart, and also the most physically imposing survivor of H-2 besides Impulse.

And, as mentioned, a cybersecurity expert. His role on the Hermatrix Convoy was to protect against and anticipate cyberattacks that could do anything from fry their navigation systems to steal passenger data. He specializes in generating and breaking cyphers, though he didn’t get many opportunities to flex that skill in space. On 4546-B, however, that lends itself surprisingly well to decoding the alien Architects’ data terminals, as well as making sure said data downloads into a computer of some kind rather than someone’s brain. 

Which, yes, did in fact nearly happen to Joe when they were first investigating the Architect lab they found in the ice caves, and Xisuma is very sure Joe is the last person in this group who needs more esoteric topics to discuss. Thank heavens it’s on his datapad instead, where he can play with the nice alien code in a much more familiar and accessible form until he understands it.

#hermnautica #xisumavoid #ask the author #I LOVE X HE'S SO STRESSED ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SO FUNNY ABOUT IT. #only man more stressed than him is wels but that's gem's fault #x every time he realizes he needs to go into the ocean: oh geez. do i really? and then he shrieks when a fish comes within like ten feet of #him #x when the ice worm comes into play is just the nonono remix pretty much #EDIT: @ SPACE NERDS PLEASE DON'T COME FOR ME #i picked the stars based on constellations and vibes so i know some of these probably don't have planets #or like. the gravity isn't accurate or that star can't actually sustain life bc of its low light/heat output #or whatever like that #but listen. in hermnautica it's allllllll possible. play with me in this space.

Continuation of my Cis!Swap Steddie thoughts (thank you for all the likes <3<3 )

Ok so the thing we (or at least I) love so much about Steve and Eddie are their dualities, right? Steve, with his fucking fantastic character arc and Eddie being a secret big softie In this verse, I think it goes a little like this Stevie falls in love. Instead of Nance, though, its Jonathan. Her reasoning for dating him, when Carol asks in that sneering way of hers, is simple. Hes hot. He does exactly what she tells him, and she likes being his muse or whatever. For his photos. The real reason is that he's kind to her, and Stevie doesn't know what to do with that. Jonathan does like her too, in his own way. He's not blind, he knows she's beautiful, and he's always had a thing for powerful women. and so, he tries his very best to ignore her mean streak. make excuses. They sleep together for the first time the same night that Will goes missing, same kind of party, same kind of tension, and Jonathan understandably goes a little crazy with guilt. The rest goes as you might remember, Jonathan and Nancy start to investigate, and Stevie doesn't mean to be distant, but also has no idea what to do. She's never known how to be the support, since nobody's ever done that for her. not really. The local cinema still ends up advertising Nancy the slut wheeler, and in the alley, its Nancy who gets called the slur. Nancy who starts the fight, though its a quick one. A clean break of Stevies nose, well deserved, well remembered. Her nose never quite heals right, a little crooked now, a constant reminder of the imperfections of the Queen of Hawkins High. Much later, when Jonathan finally calls bullshit, he does it sober, but it doesn't hurt any less. So, Stevie tries to be better. Taps into an older-sister attitude she never knew she had, and becomes the protector and best friend of a group of wild kids with way too much trauma for their age. When Dustin asks her how to talk to girls, she gives the same advice though - act like you don't care - Because it had always worked on her, after all. ---- Eddie makes friends by being ruthless, too. Fights tooth and nail to be "one of the boys" with the local nerds, pulls down their gatekeeping walls one by one by showing them that she's not just some girl. She's Eddie the freak Munson, and she's here to destroy whatever monster you throw her way, be it DND or the corridors of high school. With her leather jackets and spiked bracelets, people slowly get the message. Hellfire Club isn't her idea - but she worms herself into the group by being crass and a little stupid and most of all entertaining, pulling out all the stop she learned from drama class, and it works. And its great! She's finally found some role models that she actually cares to look up to, who welcome her in as well. With these guys, she can make tolkien references and goblin jokes and they don't just get it, they laugh.

Soon, they even forget that she's not one of the boys. In fact, they forget it so well that they start talking about girls, even when she's right there. And she doesn't hate it at first, cause yeah, there's definitely been some stirrings of trouble associated with pretty girls for her but she's not ready to have that thought yet only... She starts realizing that the nature of their talk, the way they joke? its... not kind. Its not that Eddie can't take a bit of swearing or crass talk or whatever, but its the way they talk about the girls, like they're not even people. Like they are either fantasies to leer at or bitches to scoff at and all she can think of is Chrissy Cunningham, who had smiled and told her she really liked the buzzcut. Who was the only one who had.

And if those really are the only options for a girl - hot or bitch, what the hell was she?

Part 3!

tbh tho this is EXACTLY what merfolk relationships look like

and they just keep track of this. in their heads. all the time.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #they dont have gendered pronouns but they do have tone modifiers for every other fucking word depending on their relationship to the other #and their mood. and if theyre referring to multiple people at once or just one person. and often layered on top of each other too. #merfolk have poor vision but they DO inherently think of things in a more ''three dimensional'' way than we do #considering they live underwater and youre operating with another axis just to move around anywhere #which then gets applied to the rest of their everything #ESPECIALLY language because theyre nerds who went hard into the sound focus #their visual art in comparison has simpler elements than ours (but a lot more focus on light/movement) #this is why merfolk have some very unique spellcrafts and theyre notorious for complicated and detailed spellwork #like yes a part of it is the fact that theyre older than the other species and have had more time to work on it #but also they can just DO really unique things compared to other cultures because they emphasize layered detail in this way #this is also why - from the outside - so much of miranda's job looks like parties and balls and attending to the courts #because again. its all about the emphasis on who has what relationship with who and how to operate within that. #legal agreements are multilayered and come with terms and conditions a mile long and you need to have a very careful hand on the pulse #of all of this #even moreso because royal families go even harder with treating the lineage as the individual and the merfolk #as just limbs and organs of this equation #this is why it was so important that miranda be good at manipulation and speaking and just *charismatic* #literally making people do what she wants or needs them to do is just what makes the merkingdom GO and operate #and why she (and the other royals) occupy a space a little like a public performer does as well #and why royals showing personal favor and having close personal relationships is frowned upon as #mixing pleasure and business #since those relationships ARE their business and so much of the underlying politics #if youre showing undue favor to someone because you personally just like them then you aren't judging them based off of actual talent #merfolk complicated! merkingdom complicated! #(the merkingdom is also SUPER fucked up but thats tangential from this tangent)
