From deliberately wanting to operate alone and not putting his trust in anyone to wanting his loved ones back because life is empty and lonely for him without them, Loki's come a long way.

The concept of time is different inside the TVA. We can't be sure of exactly how long it's been for Loki staying there in relation to Earth time.

Loki's willing to go to any lengths to get back the life and love he found in the TVA. In the face of utter desperation, he finally manages to learn to control his time-slipping. That's what he feels is his chance at a family surrounded by people who love him and whom he loves back with equal passion and fervour.

...Something's kinda hitting me, guys. I think something just clicked.

So we all know that BB!DOTC is the arc I'm not staying faithful to, right? A lot of characters are getting total overhauls? I'd actually been dancing pretty heavily around the pro-colonialism themes in the original text, simply because I don't really feel comfortable handling them (same with certain sexual themes, it's not great for my mental health to force myself to engage with certain elements that are triggering)

So I'd made it so there was Park Cats (Wind Coalition and River Kingdom) who arrived relatively recently, and Tribe Cats (Sky's Clan, Shadow's Clan) who nestle into an unclaimed spot in the forest. All groups roughly equal in power until Thunder's Clan which was existing in defiance.

But Clanmew isn't JUST comprised of Parkmew and Tribemew-- there's a third contributor. Old Townmew, which mixes with Parkmew and forms Middle Townmew, mixing again with Clanmew to create Modern Townmew.

Since I'm now really thinking about the colonialism themes, especially in my re-read where it starts reaching its narrative conclusion in Books 5 and 6... I think I need to add that 3rd cultural group. I need to make them a player. I think I'm doing a serious disservice by only having the Park Cats, Tribe Cats, and then saying all others mostly lived in the town.

I'm gonna do a BB!Brokenstar with Slash. Previously I'd just cut him completely-- but I think I should, instead, walk him back from being "Pure Evil" like he is in-canon and make him into a real character.

One Eye's a god drawn to the festering stink and rot of the First Battle; Slash is a mortal, leading a group like any other in the Forest Territories.

I think I'm also going to significantly bump up the time the Park Cats have been in this territory. Slash and his cats have been fighting them for years, and until the Mountain Cat influx, were basically spread through most of the Forest.

#Since BB!DOTC starts with leaving the mountain and ends with the First Battle #I'll also have a lot of time to explore Thunder interacting with all of these cats #Something often misunderstood is that Colonialism isn't... new.#It didn't come from capitalism. People have invaded and subjugated native groups for eons #What's new is how refined imperialism made it and how it's down to a bloody science now #I have plenty of cats to populate these groups too unlike newer material #Better Bones AU #BB!DOTC #I might have Slash and Thunder's groups eventually merge towards the end #That would make sense as to how Thunder's Clan was seemingly suddenly on a similar standing to Sky's #...could be a prettyyyy badass ending to the 'thunder ties to do a ton of diplomacy' arc by having him realize-#-his group has a LOT more in common with Slash than all the bigger groups #Kind of subvert DOTC's message by having him believe Slash IS a bloodthirsty monster who hates love and friendship #And then he realizes at some point. That was a fucking lie #That's sounding pretty good to me actually what do youse think

Exploring Explosions ~

Bucky x reader

: ⚠️ warnings mentions of Sharon, coma, memory loss, and brain stuff ⚠️ :

Summary - While on a mission, something happens to bucky while on the journey to recover, he fines something he wants more than life itself.

(I know I used this before, but look at him)

(And ik these and short and kinda move fast but other wise imma dragggg this out and ain't noone wants that! 😭)

Part 1

Your heals clicked and clacked as you make your way to the living room, as you entered the room Steve stood up and gave you a look of concern look then sat down when he didn't see any distress on your face. You sat in the armchair, looking at your papers, biting your lip, making sure there was nothing else you could do at this moment.

"Good news first.. bucky should make a full recovery and there's no long term damage, the rush surrounding his face will die done duo to the super serum and cream we can provide him-" you were about to get to the not so good news when a irritated voice pipes up from the back. Sharon. "Can you get on with it, like we get it you 'saved him' just tell me what's wrong with him" She states as everyone just stares at her in disbelief, you blink a few times before ignoring her statement completely.

"As I was saying, the issue is the substance sprayed in Mr Barnes' face - well, uhh - to put it simply, it would affect how and what the brain releases chemically. So far, his brain has produced more dopamine, and we have a fair guess that it could also produce more oxytocin at an alarming rate."

You got some nods of understanding, some blank faces, and some straight out confused about what's going on, you were about to explain more but you got a notification that you were needing back at medical. Excusing yourself you quickly left the room and made your way down the hall to the medical ward and started praying on the way that no one died, you cursed under your breath for being stylish and wearing your heels and not your crocs or boots.

You slip through the Automatic sliding doors and went to Barnes door scanning your card and finger, the door opened and you quickly went inside locking it behind you, confused as to why you were notified that his vitals changed drastically becuase they looked normal. Then it hit you, They shouldn't be this normal. You unhooked, then sleeping soldier and grabbed the front of his bed, pulling him to the door, unlocking it and dragging it out, yelling for help, and to get the MRI machine ready. Once he's in the machine and getting scanned, you whip out your phone to inform cap that his best friend might be a lot worse than thought to be.

Cap entered just when James was being moved from the room and was being put back. He looked for you and saw you at the desk looking puzzled by his results. Before you could even speak, he knew you would have some big words and to give it to him so simply that even thor would understand.

"The stuff he was sprayed with was so old that it took time kicking in, and now it has the body got so almost stressed it thought its best way to survive was to just go black." You said with a straight face, and Steve understood but also knew you left parts out you couldnt dumb down. "Steve.. if worse comes to worse, he could be in a coma for years.. and the best outcome is memory loss, " which hung in the air for quite some time before he just started nodding and walking around, pacing back and forth. He sat on the ground and just looked shocked and in denial.

What does "To be on cloud 9" mean? Where did it come from?

omg...... I just learned something new and cool that most meteorologists already know. This Ted Talk video I clicked on this morning out of curiosity is what did it to me.

Do you want to fly and touch a cloud? ME, TOO!!! :D

"To be on cloud 9" means to be "on top of the world" or "incredibly happy."

Want to know why? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya do ya do ya?

*affectionately shoves your face into science*

This comes from the cloud naming system created in the 1800's by Luke Howard, (wikipedia.com)

A nervous nerd who daydreamed in class (was he part of our ADHD or autistic tribe?).

He came to identify 7 types of clouds within 3 major classifications of clouds (cirrus, cumulus, and stratus).

These names come from Latin.

Cirrus = "hair" or "tendril"

Cumulus = "pile" or "heap"

Stratus = "sheet" or "layer"

The 4 types he discovered within those main three categories are cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulostratus. Because he saw that clouds changed constantly.

There are 10 variations of cloud types (the video says 11) within these three main categories today. (separated by low lying clouds - 3km and below, middle - 9km to 3km, and high - 12km to 9km) Here he come--

(This next part is a ramble about me. You can scroll past this)

This is something we all learn in grade school science class... or at least I did when I was hyperfixated on weather after "Twister" came out and I wanted to be a storm chaser.

I also had a light crush on Bill Harding (played by Bill Paxton - RIP) because I thought he could sense the weather with the Force or something. I was 11, undiagnosed ADHD with autism, neurodivergent, had 1 friend, got bullied constantly from multiple sources, was ugly, wore glasses, not skinny, and needed an escape. The sky, clouds, sci-fi, fantasy, and space were it. Escapism is a major part of my life. Gimme a break.

I've known the names of the clouds for most of my life, but couldn't remember much of their origin, just that I could identify about 75% of what was up. I've always loved storms. I used to play hide and seek from thunder whenever I'd see lightning since I was 5, because I knew sound followed light, and laugh at the game. That's never changed. I, as a full grown adult, still do that when there's a rare storm where I live.

Anyway...

THE QUESTION YOU WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO.....

WHERE IN THE VOID DOES THE IDIOM "TO BE ON CLOUD 9" COME FROM?????

The 9th type of cloud is identified as a cumulonimbus thunder cloud - (Piling Tower) at the top of a thunderstorm. This is created by updrafts. To me, it always looked like an explosion over a storm.

"Being on cloud 9" means "being on top of the world" because THIS GIGACHAD IS THE TALLEST CLOUD IN THE ENTIRE SKY.

Now you know. :)

SCIENCE!!

#science side of tumblr #clouds #colloquialisms #popular sayings #cloud 9 #cumulonimbus thunder cloud #is the 9th identified type of cloud in the sky.#It's the tallest.#The more you know #science #weather #meteorology #a lesson in clouds I didn't mean to give.#I just wanted to say where the idiom of cloud 9 came from.#But here we are.#luke howard

Nikola Tesla Produced Ball Lightning In His Experiments At Colorado Springs

After describing some photographs of his laboratory in his Colorado Springs Notes, Nikola Tesla gave commentary on certain photographs explaining some transformations of the streamers. He mentions the splitting of streamers near the floor, splitting and reuniting, the phenomenon of luminous parts on the streamers (which he then refers to as sparks, or even arcs), and the breaking up of sparks into streamers and, what he called "fireballs." Today these fireballs are called "Ball Lightning." His remarks concerning the genesis of ball lightning are incredibly interesting. This phenomenon has been a source of interest since ancient times. Researching the topic, one can find references that can be found on Etrurian monuments, in the works of Aristotle, Lucretius and other old sources. Ball lightning is considered to be a form of electrical discharge generated during thunderstorms. They are rare in nature, and are still an unexplained phenomenon even today. Some hypotheses hold that ball lightning is an optical illusion similar to when one gets hit on the head and sees stars (an opinion shared by Tesla until he produced them himself), and with others that they are the traces of meteors. The first genuine scientific approach to the problem was Francois Arago's analysis of some twenty reports of ball lightning in 1838. After the publication of his work they became a legitimate subject of scientific interest, but to this day have remained something of an enigma.

A ball lightning is a luminous sphere occurring during a thunderstorm. According to witnesses, they are usually red, but other colors have also been observed: yellow, green, white and blue. Their dimensions vary, and unlike ordinary lightning, they move slowly, almost parallel to the ground. They sometimes stop and change their direction of motion, and can last for up to 5 seconds. Apparently, their properties vary greatly from different observations so it is believed that there are various types. As of today, no single theory has been able to explain the occurrence of ball lightning in nature, and despite numerous attempts, only a few types of ball lightning have been created, and not entirely successfully, in laboratories around the world.

Tesla's hypothesis on the origin and maintenance of ball lightning includes some points which can also be found in the most recent theories, but it also bears the stamp of the time. For instance, in his Colorado Springs Notes while noting some of his experiments, Tesla considers that the initial energy of the nucleus is not sufficient to maintain the ball, but that there must be an external source of energy. According to Tesla, this energy comes from other lightnings passing through the nucleus, and the concentration of energy occurs because of the resistance of the nucleus, i.e. the greater energy-absorbing capacity of the rarefied gas than the surrounding gas through which the discharge passes. In nature the probability of other discharges passing through the nucleus of a ball lightning is small, so according to other researchers, Pyotr Kapista's (a soviet physicist) hypothesis that they act via electromagnetic standing waves is most logical. It is possible that in Tesla’s experiments the "passage" of a number of later discharges through the same nucleus was more frequent.

All in all, Tesla's work is a revolutionary one and should be studied. His laboratory experiments and his creation of the ball lightning on numerous occasions is far beyond time. Most definitely a scientist ahead of his time.

Planning out this time loop fic is fun and all... Until it gets to the weird science-y bits.

We're all cool with dodgy, doesn't-quite-make-sense sci-fi, right? Right?

Love how in the comics, Jane actually survived her cancer and went on to do more hero work even without the hammer, but in MCU, they just decide to kill her off cause...apparently it was impossible for the MCU to show someone surviving cancer.

#anti mcu #thor spoilers #thor love and thunder spoilers #they really hyped jane up only to be like 'sike shes dead now'#like maybe she could return #but its really gross how the mcu handled this #especially with how versus the comics its handled #like if this was so thor could get his hammer up #just do what avengers assemble did so they could have two thors around #it really aint rocket science mcu

So, you might recall I was making a "small" force of Thunder Warriors. It's grown by ten since I took this photo.

Between this and ComStar, I think I might have a slight addiction.

there’s a bunch of lightning, like a ton, super often super bright, but no thunder and no rain and it’s really messing with me.

also it’s bright and a distraction from me sleeping

#lightning #weather #science smart people should explain this #i did google and google said this was normal and just meant the storm was far but that feels wrong #like it’s to bright and often to be that far #thunder #thunderstorm

A SOUND OF THUNDER by Ray Bradbury

I’ve written before about my love of time travel stories, and how it was sparked at a very young age by TV shows like VOYAGERS! and movies like Time Bandits. But my love of time travel also extends to books (and comic books), not just live-action. And today I’m going to talk about one of my earliest literary examples of time travel. I think I read H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine first, that would be…
