The constellation of Orion // Dawson Fehr

Read below the cut to learn more about the stars in this image!

Of course, the two brightest stars in Orion are Rigel (β Orionis) at the bottom right and Betelgeuse (α Orionis) at the top right.

Rigel is named after the Arabic word rijl, meaning "left leg". Indeed, it is the left leg of Orion. Rigel is a quadruple star system, with the primary being a blue supergiant star.

Betelgeuse is named after the Arabic phrase Yad al-Jawzā’, meaning "hand of Orion." Europeans misread the "y" sound as a "b" sound, leading to the modern name. Betelgeuse is a solitary red supergiant star.

In the middle of Orion is Orion's Belt, composed of three stars:

Alnilam (ε Orionis) is named after the Arabic phrase al-niẓām, meaning "string [of pearls]". It is a solitary blue supergiant star. It is the center star in the belt.

Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is named after the Arabic phrase an-niṭāq, meaning "the girdle." Alnitak is a triple star system, with the primary being a blue supergiant. It forms the left star in the belt.

Mintaka (δ Orionis) is named after the Arabic term manṭaqa, meaning "belt". Mintaka is a multiple star system with the primary being a blue supergiant. It forms the right star of the belt.

Imagine Ghost with a reader that is studying astronomy, and after a long day of being in base, he comes home to you sitting at your desk and writing notes in your notebook. As he takes off his gear and mask he sits on the bed behind you and you grab your notebook, climbing over to him to show him all the things you’ve accomplished today, while letting him rest his head on you chest.

I believe he’s a great listener, so he would listen to you babble about what you learned in class today or about the new stars you read about. But you always talked about your favourite star, Rigel. He never knew why you liked it so much, never knew if he’d ever find out. But he was always glad to listen.

“And the largest of these shells on Betelgeuse has a radius of nearly 7.5 light-years!” You exclaimed excitedly to Simon as you looked down, seeing the poor Lieutenant passed out on your chest. A fond smile pulled on your lips and you ran your fingers through his cropped blond hair, opening up your notebook and scribbling down something.

“Sleep well, my Rigel.”

The Tearsmith on Netflix: is it going to win awards? Probably not. But omg if it is not the most delicious beautifully done tension I have seen in a long time! I have literally already watched it twice for the fever scene alone.

The stomach kissing, the through the shirt kissing, the gripping and the intensity!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is exactly what I picture certain scenes in books between the two main characters to feel like and this is the first time I have seen it captured on screen.

Oh it also gives dramione vibes which helps!
