Rock Formations on a Snowy Day (Joshua Tree National Park)

Rock Formations on a Snowy Day (Joshua Tree National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north-northeast while taking in views of a snowy landscape along the Hidden Valley Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park. Another image captured where I liked the layering present with the foreground and it's snowy landscape leading up to the rock formations in the distance. I decided to minimize the overcast and overcast skies as I felt it really didn't add much to the image.

hello heres the hypothetical script of a comic about perimuth that i am too tired to make rn
panel 1: a picture of a diary being written in. only perrys hand is visible. the diary reads, “dead diary, today marks my seventh birthday + the seventh anniversary of my father disappearing.” this is all written in leetspeak because perry is a NERD
panel 2: a shot of 7 year old perrys face, completely neutral and with slightly longer hair (which is not in a ponytail). a wavy text bubble (representing their diary) above them reads “i now must admit he will never return. i am very very sad about this, and—“
panel 3: a shot of a very simplified drawing of perrys mom slamming open the door and smiling. she says “hey bro happy 7th im your mom now. sorry for never seeing you ever lol”
panel 4: perry is comically shocked

So since I’m hyperfixating on this ship again I picked up the comic strips I was making 2 years ago that I had been working on based on a scene from the drabble I read that changed my brain forever. This is one of 2 strips broken up to fit tumblr. (And here is the link to the drabble!)
I’ll reblog this with part 2!

🎫 Altitude
He is one of the Top 50 Vosian actors and as such can be considered a celebrity. His most well-known performances are a few notable lead roles in dramas but especially that of imposing military leaders in history plays which have earned him his stage name, Berserker.
Backstage, Altitude is just as heroic and engaging as most of the characters he plays with the only difference being that he doesn't really know how to separate reality from fiction. He will jump off a roof to save someone and only then remember that his alt mode kibble has been safely tucked away under the costume he always wears to public events. He will absolutely destroy the costume if the need arises but his costume designer is not happy about it.
Oh and it took one awkward conversation with Ironwing for him to decide that this is the person he wants to be best friends with.

When the A-12s started flying out of Area 51 (on the Nevada-California border), air traffic controllers were briefed about the Oxcart program. Concerns about seeing the lights so far up in the sky started immediately. Most troubling were airline pilots who had seen the airplane and then, of course, all of the people reporting UFOs.
Certainly, not all controllers were briefed about the A-12. Only enough trusted controllers were in the know. They devised a program to keep it quiet from other controllers; they created a security system.
The following is from Paul Crickmore‘s book Lockheed Blackbird Beyond the Secret Missions, with the missing chapters on page 96.
Flights above 60,000 feet weren’t subject to FAA positive control. Still, for additional safety, when the A-12s were operating routinely above this, their pilot used a simple code to hide their actual height from eavesdroppers by reporting that they were at an altitude of the base plus a number. For additional security, the base altitude would change daily so if, for example, it was briefed at 50,000 feet, the Oxcart was cruising at 85,000 feet the pilot would report to the center that he was at base +35.. in this way, ATC could keep a watchful eye out for other high flying traffic and later when SR-71 and U-2 were flying in those upper reaches controllers, would sometimes report company traffic at Azimuth* relative to the Oxcart flight plan.
*Azimuth is a horizontal angle measured clockwise in degrees from a reference direction, usually the north or south point of the horizon, to the point on the horizon intersected by the object's line of altitude (a line from the observer's zenith through the object to the horizon).

Preserved Dwellings of Montezuma Castle National Monument by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the north while taking in the setting of Montezuma Castle National Monument in northern Arizona. With this image, I zoomed into the main cliff dwelling, more or less straight on but still included a little bit of the surrounding cliff face as a "frame" to the image.

Map Wall pt 2: Map of Insulinde
Insulinde (850 million people)
A mostly oceanic isola consisting of a series of islands and archipelagoes [Le Caillou, Semenese Islands (Ile du Fantome), Ozonne, Laurentide, Face-a-la-Mer, North Arcade Islands.]
Population 850 million
Le Caillou
the largest island in the North-East
Capital: Revachol [80km radius]
Semenese Islands (Ile du Fantome)
Far to the south west
City: Olduvai
Ozonne
Cities: Fond de l'Air and Virmandeux
Laurentide
City: Deora of the Seven Seas
Archipelagos
Cities: Croyant-Morain, Villiers
OTHER ISOLAS (Azimuths)
Mundi - North
Graad - North East
Samara - East
Seol - West
NOTES: We love scale references! This doesn't add the most details like the number of islands or the orientation of all of them but we'll take what we can get. There may be more detail in Joyce's Reality Lowdown talk.
Map Wall - Several maps have been attached to a bulletin board hidden inside the alcove. They're held up by small pins. The board has come loose from one corner.
Map Wall - The maps look old and faded. Your eye catches a map of Insulinde, a map of Revachol, and a map of Martinaise.
You - Look at the map of Insulinde.
Map Wall - This large map displays archipelagos. You see a constellation of small dots on the light blue emptiness of the Insulindic ocean. The largest, in the northeast, is "Le Caillou" (you are here). Another, far away in the southwest -- "Semenese Islands (Ile du Fantôme)".
You - What else?
Map Wall - Ozonne, Laurentide, Face-a-la-Mer, Archipelagos, North Arcade Islands... all just specks of dust on the vastness of the Insulindic. On the edges of the map, the colour fades into a blur of dotted lines. Black and white.
Visual Calculus - Disintegrating into mathematics.
Inland Empire - In the northeast a dust mite stands on the north coast of Caillou. In a bookstore. It's you.
Shivers - Radiating outwards from you -- the Suzerain Revachol. With a radius of 80 kilometres. Still, the crown jewel of this isola would be barely visible.
You - Squint first -- can you see *cities* on the islands?
Map Wall - You can. On Caillou -- Revachol, a single black star; on Ozonne -- Fond de l'Air and Virmandeux; on Archipelagos -- Croyant-Morain, Villiers; on Semenine -- Olduvai. And on Laurentide -- Deora Of The Seven Seas...
Empathy - Lost little pearls of light. Tiny fires in the dark.
Encyclopedia - 850 million people live on these little dots. An oceanic world of culture and commerce, torn apart by history.
You - Look at the edges.
Map Wall - The ocean breaks apart into a tangle of cosines and azimuths, all pointing into pale nothingness. *Mundi* is the north azimuth; *Graad* is the northeast azimuth; *Samara* is the east azimuth; *Seol* is the west azimuth. *Isolas*, they're called.
Inland Empire - Connections to other worlds. Worlds past the Insulindian, unknown to you. You only know you've never been there.
Logic - 850 million people live on these tiny dots. An oceanic world of culture and commerce, torn apart by history.

🎫 Azimuth
In the early years of the war, he tended to stick around the Wreckers and help them with minor issues, but never saw himself as one of them for many reasons. They were too rowdy, too unorganized for his liking and his rather snobbish, cold personality which only got worse after his brother's death did not suit most of the Wreckers.
However, to everyone's surprise, he got along with Wheeljack just fine. The inventor and bomb specialist was glad to have a smart mech he could rely on for calculations. They developed a friendly rivalry - Wheeljack showed him how to create explosives and Azimuth taught him complex mathematics he needed for his projects in return.
They even share similar paintjobs (white, green and red) but purely by accident. Azimuth's paint was color-picked from my best friend's travel kit because they were so nice and I turned them into a Transformer (white, green, red, black, purple, pink, blue). That's how he was made.
His brother Altitude has a similar color scheme (white, green, red, black, orange, pink). Instead of light blue and purple, he wears orange. Even though they're twins, they don't look alike much. They share faceplates, an alt mode and a passion for theatre, but that's it.

Underneath A Spell Part 2
A dark blue midnight awning has its portrait,
etched by a starlit silver lustrous galaxy,
silhouette of black lace frilled clouds,
in somber quietude adrift beneath a vibrant pearl,
amber moon whose gleaming radiance bemused awhile,
at the stark underbelly of flickering candles,
that the urban nocturne spellbound revel in perchance,
sleep pattern held captive by ethereal bliss,
angelic dreams wrapped in opal tincture,
what optic relishes await at early first light,
a colourfast dawn unveils it’s bronze bespoke banner,
heaven bound yellow flare insouciant whim,
red orange burst sky a stirring presage,
for wingspan flight of stone gray plume creature,
natural world usher whose gold throat cadence,
rouses wonderment among the persimmon trees,
phasing into human yearning for awestruck omen,
Kashmir bright velvet hue azimuth a scant gem,
yet sapphire orb twinkles close or distant lure
might embolden dull minds with ardent spark
Photographs All My Own Work
Inspired by amazing sister Jay A Pallen
I’d like to thank all those in the tumbrl community who view and consider this picture/piece suite

MAGNESIUM-BASED LIFEFORM
Temporary bonus: -1 Shivers: No shakes
It is generally understood that human beings are carbon-based organisms, fusing little carbon tubes together to form complex, mushy structures capable of thought, love, and locomotion. It is also known that these structures sometimes like to “take the edge off” by consuming ethanol, amphetamine, etc. In such cases, it is important to supplement your body with magnesium. Tired? Mag it! Down? Mag time! Liver damage? MAXIMUM MAG! Some people say magnesium doesn’t really do anything and you just need to quit. What do we tell them?
DETECTIVE COSTEAU
Temporary bonus: -2 Conceptualization: An idiotic idea
Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau – when you say it, it feels like you’re taking a bite of lemon meringue while sitting on the terrace of a seaside cafe. On a cool summer day. In Sur-La-Clef. It’s everything you’re *not*. You haven’t created many things during your stay in Martinaise, but you’ve created this. A fancy, sophisticated name that makes you sound intelligent. And that no one seems to *acknowledge*. Don’t you feel like you deserve a reward for coming up with something so special? And what would that reward *be*?
BRINGING OF THE LAW (LAW-JAW)
Temporary bonus: -1 Rhetoric: Weird jaw
Hey, so a little observation. It’s all cool, man. Don’t freak out, but every time you say “I am the law“ – and you say it *a lot*, it’s basically *hello* for you – your jaw does this *weird thing*. It sort of shifts sideways, hanging off your face at a jaunty angle, while the word *law* sounds oddly guttural and low. It’s… strange. You wouldn’t notice it, but after saying you’re the law eighty thousand times, the question *does* come up: why *do* you have Law Jaw?
DATE OF BIRTH GENERATOR
Temporary bonus: None
Your face looks like it’s 58 and your body feels like it’s 60. Your mind feels like it’s lived for one day or a hundred. Both longer than they ought to be, the day and the century…. But for how long, then, has this thing attached to your sentience walked the planet’s crust? Time to start racking those brains of yours, Elder One. When and where were you born?
MOTORWAY SOUTH
Temporary bonus: -1 Visual Calculus: Bizarre angles
At the edge of the map the landmass begins to disintegrate – into pure trigonometry. The ocean melts, becoming a tangle of sines and cosines, the mountain range turns into a sharp-angled azimuth. Its green rain shadow dithers, like music turning into a waveform. And then vanishes. This is the end, a half-remembered textbook from your childhood – the porch collapsing on the edge of the isola. A transition from reality to pale. A single vector shoots out, like a rocket. It’s the Motorway South, splintering off from the known pale! *To where*? Where does it go?
