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

Deathworlders everywhere but in Space

This is sitting in my brain because I haven't seen anyone else do this, but take a second to think about this: There are other deathworlders in space, terrifying ones, huge monster orc things. They are massive and nightmarish and impossibly strong. So thats why humans stand out. Thats how we survive. Human's are terrifying because we aren't built for one biome, one climate or even one planet. We aren't necessarily the strongest or fastest or scariest looking, but we're built to survive fucking everything. What if other deathworlder's are almost always only made to survive in one climate? (similar to some of the most deadly predators on earth currently) All the other deathworlders are terrifying, yes, but the second they step off their planet they're weak. Massive aliens of hulking muscle but their planet's gravity is a lot lower than the standard, so they barely meet the average strength bar whenever they go outside their gravity zone. Aliens that have venomous spikes all over their body and look gnarly as shit but their venom has practically no effect on 99% of discovered intergalactic species. Deathworlders whose planet is the nether from minecraft IRl, but they can't survive in any other temperature for any amount of time because their body just can't handle the cold and regulate their temperate (or, vice versa for tundra species). Aquatic species that are kraken-like nightmares, giant sirens and deadly squid-like beings. But they can't leave their home at all, because theres a very specific chemical makeup of their water that isn't currently found within their life-span distance travel. Deathworlders that genuinely can barely survive off planet and are frail compared to even the most docile prey species whenever they have to travel. Their called deathworlders because going to their planet is certain death, but if they leave they'll be meeting death just as quickly. And then along come humans, and everyones like, oh, another deathworlder, nothing to worry abou- wait. These guys dont seem to loose any of their natural strength off planet... and their fast and strong... and- AND THEY CAN SURVIVE IN PRACTICALLY ANY CLIMATE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE??? HELLO? Oh and of course their predators. Of course most of their planet is completely uninhabitable for most of us. Mhm, yep. thats fair. Totally Basically, deathworlders are a thing, the more common 'terrifying alien monster' type, but their harmless because they can't survive like everyone else. They can't thrive like humans can. It scares the shit out of everyone for a wholeeeeee while, after all, no one ever expected a deathworlder that doesn't die.

"adam and ronan are a sun and moon pairing" yes and ronan is the sun. but specifically like this:

#having many thoughts #bc obviously ronan does not feel like a traditionally sunny character #but this. oh #and adam being the moon well. #i dont even want to think about the implications of gansey as the earth and adam and ronan both orbiting around him #oh ive made it worse for myself #anyway haha #pynch #adam parrish #ronan lynch #the raven cycle #trc #the dreamer trilogy #td3

Stepping out on the front porch. Astronaut David Scott opens the hatch to check out the view during Apollo 9, March 1969. In this pic taken by fellow astronaut Rusty Schweickart, ‘Gumdrop’, the Command Service Module is docked with ‘Spider’, the Lunar Module. A9 was the 1st flight incorporating all Apollo spacecraft components. The 10 day mission was the 2nd launched by a Saturn V rocket.

An astronaut took this photograph of the Aurora Australis in August 2017. At the time, the International Space Station was moving over the southern Indian Ocean towards the Great Australian Bight and Melbourne, Australia.

[ID: three drawings of Five, out of uniform and with slightly longer hair than usual (implied to be post-s3).

In one, he is wearing a trench coat over a suit and sunglasses, and drinking a giant coffee.

In another he is seated at a table looking at a mint chocolate chip milkshake but not eating it. He has his head propped up in one hand and looks tired. He is wearing a blue long sleeved shirt under an oversized, lighter blue t shirt, and cargo shorts. He has a giant ring of keys clipped to one of his belt loops. His hands are wrapped in bandages.

In the last, he is wearing a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and is head down, arms sprawled on a table over several sheets of paper. He is surrounded by a stack of books and two cups of coffee. End ID.]

some light s4 speculation- probably five continues to be very tired but he gets to pick his own clothes about it! in drawing this i convinced myself that five should get to have a trench coat, and also that he should have a giant carabiner clip of keys - for all his siblings' living situations so he can break into their house at a moment's notice, and also steal their car.

#tua #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #comic five gets to wear a trench coat i think show five should too #you can tell those are keys because i told you and not because i bothered to make them look like keys even a little. sowwy #the actual reason i think he should have all those keys is bc i want him to refuse to actually pick a sibling to live with #he is making himself All of their problems #maybe he is kind enough to provide them with a schedule. and maybe he is not #thats of course assuming they stay in each others orbit and dont fuck off into the corners of the earth like s3 implies that they do #but that bums me out we're 2012 avengers tower fandoming this shit #and as is tradition i almost forgot #my art

We don’t talk enough about kris’ pls get me out of here smile enough

Look at this man he does NOT want to be there

#it’s either that #or serving so hard the earth orbit path shifts #no in between #joker out #kris guštin

I’m trying to write a “quick” reference doc of in-universe common knowledge for the players in my ttrpg campaign but every time I sit down to edit, it expands by another 200 words. The section on orbital dynamics is now almost a full page. There should not be a section on orbital dynamics. Why do I have chronic terminal writer brain. H e l p

#the planet is in a much more elliptical orbit than earth so the seasons are driven as much by that as axial tilt #you get uneven season lengths #and the temperature variation between seasons is much more dramatic in one hemisphere than the other #there are a whole bunch of calendar systems #I explain the calendars in detail and give specific numbers #but the moon is small and orbits quickly so lunar calendars are uncommon #also the planet is closer to the sun than earth #just barely on the edge of the habitable zone #it’s toasty #the oceans are fucked #the only inhabited land is on polar continents #it’s bigger than earth too and dominated by oceans #I need to be stopped #ttrpg

my solarballs brainrot was mostly internalized but i need 2 speak out

#solarballs #solarballs sun #to clarify things;when i say the sun is “stationary”i mean he cant move out of his orbit around the blackhole like say mercury and moon did #if he could move outta the way he would've #but the gravity of the blackhole is probs too strong for him to just. move around like the others.idk #like the only thing he can do is shoot a solarflare and when he sees it doesn't work on earth #that's when the helplessness dawns over him #and he openly admits he was stressing out the entire time #when mercury and moon were talking w earth #and how for once #he didnt act “silly” or “crazy” #1 Solarballs Sun Defender #he is so mischaracterized for god's sake #like yea he has issues but i think calling him a “villain” istaking things too far
