QZGS Reverse Big Bang 2024

Hello, fellow Glory fans!

Allow us to introduce our debut Reverse Big Bang event!

Differently from a traditional Big Bang, in a Reverse Big Bang, the artwork is completed first. After being partnered with artists in blind claims, writers will use their chosen artwork as a fic prompt. Think of it as a fun challenge!

But just like in our Big Bang, the emphasis is the same: teamwork! After all, Glory isn’t a single-player game…

shu twins and liu fei bonding as female sharpshooters!

(prompt fills)

"Well, well," Shu Kexin said, leaning an arm on her sister's shoulder, "looks like even a champion team's Sharpshooter can't compare to us."

It was no worse than any typical competitive trashtalk; Liu Fei had had plenty of years to get used to it herself. But seeing them standing there like that, all smug like they'd accomplished anything, like they'd ever accomplished anything besides making more trouble for everyone around them—suddenly, her filter was off.

"At least I'm my own person," Liu Fei scoffed, shouldering her way past. She paused, then turned back, her face twisting into an ugly sneer. "Everyone knows you're worthless without each other. You're the lowest tier of pro, the pretty face weighing your team down. How about you stop giving the rest of us a bad name?"

"Cry harder, you loser!" she heard Shu Kexin shout after her, and Liu Fei rolled her eyes. Disdain meant she could keep her own frustration at bay.

Those two would learn, or they wouldn't. It would affect her own career, or it wouldn't. All she could do was keep looking out for herself.

Do you ever start writing something that you’re excited about and that seems like it’s turning out well and that you’re getting eager to share, and then you start typing it up or doing an edit pass and it’s just awful it’s awful its premise is fundamentally flawed and it’s out of character and the prose is clunky and the plot is badly paced and ludicrous and the whole thing is embarrassing, how could you have done this, how could you have sunk so much time into this, you can’t even look at it, how is this that shining thing you were so excited about, how could you even have considered finishing it let alone sharing it with anyone, you’re crying, your mother is crying, nuns are spontaneously exploding in the streets,

why did shipping turn into a contest of “most accurate” or “most likely to be canon” why do i have to get a 40-slide powerpoint, three defense lawyers, a fortune teller, and a background check of myself and my whole immediate family to say i want two ppl to have sloppy makeouts in a car

Just when we thought octopuses couldn’t be any weirder, it turns out that they and their cephalopod brethren evolve differently from nearly every other organism on the planet.

In a surprising twist, in April 2017 scientists discovered that octopuses, along with some squid and cuttlefish species, routinely edit their RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences to adapt to their environment.

This is weird because that’s really not how adaptations usually happen in multicellular animals. When an organism changes in some fundamental way, it typically starts with a genetic mutation - a change to the DNA.

Do you know any cursed pumpkin facts?. I love pumpkins

growing Giant Pumpkins is an intense and highly competitive practice as growers produce larger and larger pumpkins every year and enter them in various competitions.

the largest pumpkins currently top a ton in weight, and seeds from these prize-winning goliaths can sell for hundreds of dollars apiece proving there is indeed such a thing as a Pedigree Pumpkin.

Continuing my series about the recent wildfires that turned our sky red. I noticed in my past posts a lot of people think this is caused by stupid gender reveal parties. Gender reveal caused 1 fire, but the other 650 fires were caused by an unprecedented dry thunderstorm.

I’ve lived in CA for over 20 years and I’ve never seen thunderstorms in August during drought season. Unlike other parts of the world, the normal climate in CA doesn’t get storms until winter. This storm is the remains of Tropical Storm Fausto which caused over 11,000 lightning strikes resulting in over 2 million acres burned, turning our sky red like the apocalypse.  

This is what climate change looks like. Not some stupid gender reveal caused by the mistakes of a few, but the collective consequences of us all failing to protect the only home we have. The least we can do is accept reality instead of living in denial. No matter how bad it is now, it will get even worse if we continue to do nothing. 

Vote and let our governments know that our future and our children’s future is worth protecting.
