[solsticesday]

Misconceptions about the solstices.

If solstices mark the brightest and darkest days of the year, why don’t temperatures reflect that?

In short, it’s because it takes time for Earth’s land and water to heat up and cool down. In the U.S., the year’s coldest temperatures set in after-mid January, roughly a month after the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice. Likewise, thermometers hit their high in the U.S. in July and August, weeks after the summer solstice.

Some believe, too, that since Earth’s rotation is slowing down, each new solstice sets a new record for daytime length. But that’s not the case.

It’s certainly true that Earth’s rotation has slowed over billions of years, as Earth loses angular momentum to our planet’s tides. Growth lines on fossil corals show that more than 400 million years ago, days on Earth lasted less than 22 hours.

But Earth’s gradual slowing down isn’t the only factor at play. Picture a figure skater twirling on their skates; they can speed up or slow down their twirls by how much they tuck in their limbs. In much the same way, changes in the distribution of Earth’s mass—from the winds of El Niño to the melting of Greenland’s ice—can subtly tweak our planet’s rotation rate.

Taking all this into account, it’s thought that the longest day since the 1830s occurred sometime in 1912. It lasted less than four milliseconds longer than the recent average.

another orbit around the sun finished...! here's to continuing on 🎇

#my art #not much i can say esp bc i'm still p bittersweet about so much that's happened #but... yeah...! life will keep going and i'm now taking a deep breath taking in the night air and fireworks #happy new year #2024 #update: fixed the caption to be accurate bc i mixed up earth’s rotation = 1 day and earth’s orbit around the sun = 1 year LMAO

When I tell you I am still so speechless over this episode.

When I tell you I am thinking about Mark who we know really ingrained Nolan's speech back in s1, only see that Nolan looks like he meant every word. That Mark was replaceable, his mother was just a pet. When I tell you I'm constantly thinking about Mark, who only saw his father cry over a planet he's only known for months, and not the family he's had for years. When I tell you I'm thinking about Mark finally calling Nolan 'dad' again only to be immediately choked and yelled at. When I think about the parallels of s1's fight and this one.

i want to ask other witches or anyone really who works with magics opinions on this!

i feel a more personal connection with the concept that the sun and moon are rules by one entity, maybe this entity controls the earth and allows us to see these celestial bodies? i don't know how to explain it- but i feel as tho the sun and moon are very connected sort of how cats and dogs can have one owner sort of thing?

i've never really heard of a deity or divine being that rules over both the sun and moon, it's usually two deities, and i do understand why that is! and it does make sense to me! but i feel like there is also a deity that controls the way the sun and moon are perceived? does any of this make sense

point is i just wanted to get that out there to the world :)

i'd love to hear others thoughts about the moon and sun, your beliefs around it and such!!

#🧿🌸practice #witch #witchcraft #paganism #pagan #gods #greek gods #deities #deity work #witchblr #witch question #im also not talking about a being who rules the earth! #i'm thinking of someone who controls the way our planet rotates #not what's on said planet #does that make sense #i'm just brainstorming #figuring out my personal beliefs

Do you ever think about the fact that Edward and Alphonse stopped going to school when they were like ten. What kind of stuff did they miss

oh yeah i think about the fact winry was probably the only one to complete primary schooling all the time hahaha

all things considered though they probably didn't miss that much? resembool is a farming community and from the very tiny snippets we see it looks like their classes are sort of an outdoors area presumably with kids of a variety of ages, so probably older kids help teach the younger ones etc. - i'd have refresh my knowledge of how small schoolhouses like that worked historically but I assume most kids are just in school to learn the basics of things before leaving to apprentice in whatever trade they plan to go into

most of em probably go into farming/sheepherding based on their community's focus, and similarly winry trained in automail with her grandmother also at presumably a very young age- I always assumed she'd started her apprenticeship around the same time ed and al were off training with izumi

if a kid did want to educate themselves more beyond that level I imagine they'd have to travel to another town or city to learn more, which is sort of what ed and al ended up doing so other than 'graduating' a few years early probably wasn't all that odd that they skipped town!

#sorry i couldn't think of any funny comments on this one #tragically ed and al are super smart so them skipping out on the last bit of school prooobably didn't matter that much lol #though i do think it'd be funny if like #they never learned that the earth rotates around the sun #reply #anonymous #fma

Yall ever think about the fact that miles spider sense didn't go off while he was in the wrong universe because seeing his uncle made him so comfortable he didn't recognize any danger?

#spider man across the spider verse #across the spider verse spoilers #across the spiderverse spoilers #miles morales #aaron davis #spiderman #the prowler #i also think its crazy that no spider people or other heros came thru since no one was bitten in earth 42 #and i do think its because theres only ever 1 (fib) spiderman while other heros that work in new york are often on rotating teams or legacy #or those that are on smaller teams/ solo missions work so far away from Brooklyn they cabt help like daredevil and the heros for hire #and the bigger teams dont care about muggings and train stoppages the way spider man does #spidermans are the linchpin species of the new york marvel ecosystem. similar to an apex predator or megafauna or carrion

Sam's debriefing to the Garrison in burgundy is going to be so funny to think about because it's just like... 'you remember that one cadet that we all wrote off as a runaway? the one who got expelled after he decked Iverson? yeah he was actually a member of an elite alien resistance group who infiltrated Earth to search for the blue lion for them'.

Fact: The Earth rotates very quickly. As a result, different parts of the Earth move at different speeds - the equator at about 1670km/h, and the poles at none.

Fact: Summon Object can be used to move an object from any location to a space near you.

Thought: By summoning an object from the equator, it will be moving West at a significant speed. Likewise, by summoning an object from a pole it will be moving East at a significant speed.

Fact: I live in England.

Fact: England has a longitude of roughly 54⁰. The radius of the Earth is roughly 6321km.

Thought: If my maths is right, England moves at roughly 1324km/h.

Fact: 1324km/h is a reasonable speed for a bullet.

Fact: 1324km/h is Faster than the speed of sound.

Conclusion: By casting Summon Object on rocks in The North Pole, you can create bullets from thin air.

#wizardposting #unreality #<- for the wizard bits ofc #please don't feel like i'm saying the way your summoning spells work is wrong btw #i'm sure there're spells that expell the kinetic energy into some other plane or something‚ and also have the same name #or hell‚ your wizardposting doesn't need to obey physics at all #i just find that a bit fun lol #also holy shit i am now AFRAID of bullets in an existential horror type way #the fastest bullets outrun the earths rotation FOURFOLD #wtf #sewi's stuff

I've been thinking a lot about Lunar's different designs, and would love to ramble about them a bit, if you don't mind!

All of this is, of course, completely self-indulgent, and my own interpretation!

Now, Lunar has three official VR models. There's the most iconic one, with the crescent moon, the cuter version of moon, and of course his current one! For simplicity, I will refer to them as "Crescent", "CutieMoony", and will call his current one "Pastel".

There was one other design, his very first, which was shown in the thumbnail, though in the actual show was just a very pale recoloring of moon, and only shown in reaction videos. Though it was never canon, I do still have my own interpretation to that as well! This one, I will refer to as "Pale".

"Crescent" is most important design, as it brings meaning to the rest. It lays the foundation for everything else, as it is his real design. It's what he automatically glitches into when he's under high stress. Most importantly, it's what he's been shown to look like in every other universe. Lord Lunar, Lunara, swap Lunar, all of them are the same. Crescent is universally shown to be his real self.

"Pale", on the other hand is, simply put, what Eclipse wanted him to be. Something easily pushed into the background, something mild. Something to sit by quietly, to take what is thrown at him. Pale is the opposite of who Lunar actually is. Interestingly enough, his design in the thumbnail changed the day Moon returned, the day Lunar finally decided to cut off his puppet strings and reject Eclipse. That day, he rejected the image Eclipse had crafted for him, and his design, pale and barely there at all, bloomed into something bright, something noticeable. Lunar finally became themself, no longer bound to their purpose.

"CutieMoony", is the opposite of Pale, as it's what he chose to be. This design, to me, truly underlines Lunar's relationship and appreciation for old moon. He already has an actual design, one designed by his brothers, one that's truly him, in this universe and every other, and he can change into everything he wishes to be, yet he chooses to look like old Moon. Old Moon, who knew him best, right after Monty. They have shared the same body, and old Moon has seen the dents and hurt left in Eclipse's wake. He is the one Lunar ran to, when they couldn't bear the abuse anymore, the one they cried their heart out to. And despite what Lunar did, even under the influence of someone else, he met them with nothing but care and concern. He listened to them, and visibly tried to reach out, only to hesitate and hover instead, for his hands were only ever used to hurt before, something Lunar knew. He didn't force them to stay outside, and took their place, didn't even hesitate when Lunar asked him to be his brother. He is the first one who tried so hard to be a loving brother, arguably trying to be what he couldn't be for Sun, at least not in the beginning. He actively supported their interests, remembered what they liked. When Sun scared Lunar in a horror game and made them cry, Sun panicked because Moon would hear, showing just how much of a protective barrier old Moon was for Lunar. By taking his appearance, Lunar truly showed how much they looked up to him, and how safe he made them feel, considering they took this appearance while they were trapped by KC. Another thing to note is the red and yellow accents, very reminiscent of Sun, showing how much their bond has grown since the rocky start.

Last but not least, there is "Pastel". This design definitly has a lot of interpretation to give, but my favorite to focus on is the raw wrongness of it. Because we know what Lunar looks like. He's supposed to be vibrant and blue, yet this body is purple and mellow. Ironically enough, it's very similar to "Pale", the very personification of what Eclipse wanted him to be, showing the permanent mark he has left on them, as well as their mental state. Their energy isn't genuine anymore, it's a distraction and exaggeration to run from the mess left in their head. There is also the divinity inside of them, reflected in their eyes, showing them that now, they are more than just Lunar. They are part of something much bigger than themself. This body, in every sense of the word, is not their own. It's something they might never see as a home either. Another irony is how it once again links them to Eclipse, who himself is in a body not his own.

His body is a literal copy after all, not to forget that his "real self" was universally shown to look like Solar, minus God Eclipse.

This was a rather long ramble, but I really needed to get it out of my system! The brainrot's been growing steadily-

Thank you for reading!

BELOVED STARDUST ANON I'M GOING TO START DOING FLIPS OVER HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS OH MY GHOD

I feel like over the month+, I have like 1-2 hours a day max where I feel relatively awake, and every other hour I'm fighting bone-deep exhaustion. I'll bring it up with my doc at my check up on monday, but tbh i know the solution so idk if she can help

And I can work-work when I feel half-dead, or rather I force myself to because I don't want my cats to starve, but when it comes to creative stuff, it's like my mind is slippery sludge dribbling out my eyes...

The Solution, of course: just stop working 3~10 AM every day (and then taking a short nap, working during the day, and then taking another short nap, hours vary but repeat), and maybe get at least 6, ideally 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep at least every other day, ideally every day.

But do I see that happening? No.

Like rn I know I desperately need to edit fic and reply to comments and do several arts but I'm nodding off at my desk after boss DMing me work at 5 AM and dealing with repair people since 8:30 AM...

#YukiPri rambles #yeah the next fic chapter is long done #i just need to edit and reply to comments but that's like #5 hours at least of concentration and i feel more vegetable than sentient human #coffee just makes me sleepier #my hyper irregular sleep hours (i never sleep the same hours 2 days in a row...) means that even when i DO have time to sleep #i wake up/it's not restful #i've tried melatonin and sometimes it works but more often it gives me hyper vivid pseudo-dreams #stuff like i'm in my dream i hear my alarm go off i turn my alarm off while remaining in my dream etc it's dangerous #all of this also of course means i rarely have time to do my minimal exercise of a daily walk #and i'm lucky if i eat one full meal a day #it's like being in a perpetual state of awful jetlag #i feel like my body is not synched to earth and it sucks #do you think this is what inter-planetary jetlag is like bc that must suck worse than just timezones on the same planet #that at least has a consistent rotation u feel #hmm what was this post about again #lol disaster #anyway i think i'll take a 1-2 hour nap now so maybe i can do some fic editing when i get up #see i'm repeating the cycle again
