not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

#'your moon is here' things that make me explode like a supernova #UGHHHHHHH what if i was perpetually in your orbit. influencing the tides. protecting you from asteroids. and slowly drifting further away. #then you stopped moving and i was only pulse to your dead heart. orbiting you. right where ive been left. and so you started turning again. #ria.txt #personal #space opera au #(<- not about what you think is about) #hiiii this is gaining traction so glad we're all going insane :D your moon is here is SO fucked up. so good. #xkcd #randall munroe #space #moon #anyways xkcd comics are so good. entertaining witty and informative. check em out!

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.

I read a hundred and twenty six chapters of space mystery and all I got was this stupid hyperfixation

#my art #fanart #time to orbit: unknown #ttou #not dinosaurs #but this used to be a fanart blog not a dinosaur blog #and I've never stayed up till 5am reading #until now #go read time to orbit:unknown #as long as your plans for tomorrow won't be upset by staying up all night

Also I’m in love with the way this story does worldbuilding. I love worldbuilding anyway, but TTO:U is a phenomenal example of how to just say things and let your reader pick up on them.

For example, I first latched onto “pre-Neocambrian” as a fun little word challenge, since I saw it was taking root words for New and Change and leaning on the way we categorize dinosaur eras. It was a fun little puzzle!

And then I felt even smarter for realizing the word I’d been skimming over as scifi-speak, “preneek,” was a shortening of the proper term Aspen uses, the pre-Neocambrian.

So then it becomes a character study: how Aspen, publisher of four successful novels and holder of at least one doctorate, uses clinical and accurate terms, vs Tal, genius in kes own way but definitely more prone to using slang, speak differently about the same thing.

I just… so much about this makes me go heart-eyes, and I haven’t even talked about how I had to verbally enthuse about floating forests and their genetically modified inhabitants to my poor partner.

#time to orbit: unknown #to be fair to me it wasn’t unprompted #he did ask like ‘So… you’ve been staring at your phone since you came home. what r u reading so intently?’

Picture(s) of the Day: Rose-breasted Grosbeak

So happy to see them back!

Pheucticus ludovicianus

ORDER: Passeriformes

FAMILY: Cardinalidae

Did you know that they build such flimsy nests that you can often see the eggs from below the bottom?

As I get older I realize more and more how incredibly helpful it was for me to get exposed to queer erotica when I was young. Had some friends who were furries and through them I got to see various kinds of queer erotica, which sexualizes and loves the human body in such profoundly different ways than cishet porn and erotica does.

It was helpful because it helped chip away at the idea of normativity, the idea that there is one central ideal towards which all things must strive.

Not in a "queer porn made me enlightened!!!" kind of sense, but in the sense that once the time came that I was ready to start confronting my internalized self-hate and body shame and insecurities, I had some ammo to work with. I wasn't going up against it alone - I could point to this art - gay male art, lesbian art, furry art, art from the transgender perspective, all of it - and know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I still had to do some work to accept it, and internalize it, but I could know because I had evidence that, yes, there are people who desire bodies like mine, and who love those bodies earnestly and viscerally.

And regardless of whether I am attracted to those people in turn, whether I want to date them or sleep with them, it means that that insidious little voice which is drilled into the back of our heads telling us that our bodies do not meet the standard of quality that qualifies us for love is, quite simply, wrong. Beauty ideals are not a universal value, and they arise from no necessary truth or rational principle, they are a series of deliberate choices made by cultures, influenced by the culture's values.

And when that culture is struggling with a history of white supremacy, with a history of systemic sexism and homophobia, when that culture is dictated in large part by the whims and interests of billion dollar corporations intent on selling Products & Services™, the choice of beauty ideal is neither neutral or healthy, and you can unmake that choice for yourself, and find something better.

Anyway, I guess my point is that porn is good for you actually, especially the gay stuff. Replace all the Marvel movies you watch with filthy Ao3 fiction and furry smut.

#inb4: none of this is an argument that you should enjoy being fetishized #inb4: I am extremely obviously kidding with that last line leave me alone #give disney as little space in your head as you can though; they hate your body literally no matter what it looks like #also i do not want to hear any fucking thing about “evolutionary biology” on this post sit your asses DOWN when the humanities are talking #“um actually humans genetically prefer symmetry since it indicates fitness” no we literally do not have you ever met a real person #humans stumble ass-backwards into one another's orbits; we are at the mercy of our strange gravities #have a fucking experience; make yourself a person not a statistic #tb blog

Brainrot for my lancer pilot and their totally stable NHP. Nothing is wrong with either of them.

Vutepose, the vending machine and interplanetary food export billionaire, and Roman, the unfortunate xenobotanist he hired to make Novian foods palatable to Aishish consumers. biting and maiming and killing and growing horrible fruits and veggies

(Vutepose's design was an adoptable purchased from @skunkes =:-] )

#neotag #neopets #my art #neolodge #roman just moved off of the aisha homeworld to live on the NSS-L1 station in orbit around Novus #vutepose doesn't really have a single spot he sticks around. travels a lot but specifically has never been to Novus #youd think having your boss be physically thousands of thousands of miles away would mean you'd pretty much be operation on your own. #but no. vutepose hovers. via zoom call. its hell. #anyway. i have thoughts. its too late for me to articulate them but im thinking them. ouughhhh #oc:vutepose #oc:roman #setting:novus #oh i should start uploading all my backlogged art for novus and make funny little lore posts on here...... ouuhhh
