Caught some photos of a storm rolling in yesterday at work

[catlady48]

Since it's the last day of the year, I thought I'd share some photos I took of incoming storms this summer. Obviously since I live in the Netherlands, they're not going to be as exciting as American storms, but still it was cool to see such phenomena from my own house for once.

These ones are of a shelf cloud that moved in from the southwest. I live in the middle of the country and the storm had already lost quite some intensity, which means this shelf cloud was less developed from what people in the coastal regions were able to capture that day and shows up really vague on the photos (I missed the better one earlier in the earlier in the summer by ten minutes and I'm really glad that I saw this one at least) In order to take the second photo, I basically ran out of the house because I wanted a better view of it. I made it back just when it started raining.

Later this summer there was another storm, this time with an arcus. You can clearly see that the clouds are more of a roll than a shelf here. Sadly, the formation was again less developed then it was in the coastal regions, especially what was seen in Belgium. They always get the good spicy storms and the Netherlands only gets either some vague winter storms with lots of damage but no fun phenomena or the watered down remnants of storms that barely make it past the southern parts of the country.

top 5 weather phenomenon???

EXCELLENT QUESTION THANK YOU

low precipitation supercell. these things are some of the most beautiful storms on earth and while they can be dangerous, they are usually less so than other supercells. a tornado from one of these will look gorgeous as well.

roll cloud/morning glory. extremely rare and really cool. they’re in the same family as shelf clouds (arcus) which are also very cool clouds.

rainbow or anything like it. this includes the classic big arc, glories, halos and sundogs. they vary in coolness but i think the double rainbow i kissed my girlfriend under last june wins this one.

tornado. honestly i think these are really cool (so much variation and they change very fast for weather phenomena) but they’re going down here because of their destructive tendencies.

tropical cyclone. very interesting to track and observe from satellite. i love watching the structure develop on a powerful hurricane. i have a few TC tracking sites bookmarked and i check them often, especially during hurricane season. they’re last because they are even worse than tornadoes in terms of destruction.

honorable mention to aurora, meteors, noctilucent clouds, TLEs, and hector

what powers do you think a child of arke would have? would they be similar to iris kids?

OH BOY i have thought a LOT about this. Holding my dear beloved Arke kid oc Rain. Now is her time to shine.

For Arke kids, i imagine the most common power would be having wings of some kind, or something relating to wings - just given that based on the little written stuff we have on Arke, the most notable stuff about her (besides being Iris' twin) is her wings being taken. Also I think it's fun that her wings are specifically iridescent, versus Iris' more often being described as golden specifically. With my oc, she specifically has wing-shaped markings on her back from which she can summon real wings at-will (plus general other feathers just for the aesthetic).

Besides that, definitely just general stuff related to being a messenger goddess and rainbow goddess - I imagine Arke kids would probably have similar powers to Iris kids, but maybe more subdued in some areas or specifically focusing more on double rainbows and reflection/refraction, iridescence, etc - Since Arke's thing as Iris' twin is that she's specifically goddess of the second faded rainbow when there is a double rainbow. I just really love the idea though of like, you have your Iris kids with general color/rainbow stuff, but then Arke kids are more aligned with like the rainbow sheen of oil in puddles and stuff. Rainbows in places you don't really think about. Iridescence of bird wings and beetles type stuff. Re: colors, one trait I gave to my oc for that theme is that her hair changes color like a mood ring based on her emotions. By default it's just a rainbow gradient at the ends of her hair, but it'll color-shift to match how she's feeling/what she's thinking.

I also think there's a lot of potential for stuff along the lines of like. So Iris is specifically associated with the sky/clouds and water. Arke in turn you could associate more with the earth and underground, since she was cast into Tartarus (and you could totally play with how her wings were given to Thetis, who gave them to Achilles. Maybe Arke kids have beef with Thetis/Thetis kids as a result, or just generally don't do as well around water because of her.) or due to her siding with the Titans during the original Titanomachy. Maybe Kronos as Titan of the Harvest gave her some ground-based speed buffs idk. Fun to play with. Speed as a power is a definite possibility, since Achilles wearing Arke's wings on his feet were supposed to be why he was extra fast.

Also maybe not a power, per se, but they could definitely make a joke about Romans misunderstanding who their mother is - cause both Iris and Arke are twin messenger goddesses of the rainbow, but only Iris has a Roman equivalent, and her Roman equivalent is Arcus. "Who's your mom?" "Messenger goddess of rainbows, Arke." "Arcus?" "Arke" "Arcus?" "Arke-"

In general though: Messenger/speed, colors/rainbows, and wings are definitely the big themes. In part because she has so little text about her, it actually kind of makes for a lot of room to play with stuff and work out further themes for her which is super fun.

I also have a lot of general thoughts and headcanons about Arke/Arke Kids and the Second Titanomachy/Titan Army if you wanna hear about that 👀
