found out about the 'convex earth theory' which is like that hollow earth conspiracy theory except these people believe we live on the inside like an egg in a shell... quite an image.
". According to Gardner, this hypothesis posits that light rays travel in circular paths, and slow as they approach the center of the spherical star-filled cavern. No energy can reach the center of the cavern. A drill, Gardner says, would lengthen as it traveled away from the cavern and eventually pass through the "point at infinity" corresponding to the center of the Earth. Gardner notes that "most mathematicians believe that an inside-out universe, with properly adjusted physical laws, is empirically irrefutable". Gardner rejects the concave Hollow Earth hypothesis on the basis of Occam's razor."
huh.

🖍️♻️❤️ for the ask meme!
🖍Post Any sentence from your wip
here, have a sentence i added once i decided to lean into the Weirdness of the Weird Harukan Porn:
Sometimes he’s not sure whether he wants to fuck Kantarou or eat him.
♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP
i'm starting the tfem haruka story *after* she comes out to kantarou and youko now, which means for now im leaving out an earlier conversation between her and sugino where sugino gets very Upset with her for saying she has feelings for kantarou when that stupid idiot jerk human doesn't even know that she's a woman!

lost my 3ds stylus. tore apart my bedding and sheets. went to the living room to check around where i sit. walked around the kitchen counter to see if i just didn't pick it back up. rooted through the kitchen trash. went back to my room. REALLY tore up the bed, pulling it away from the wall if it fell behind. crawled around the floor to see if it rolled under. COMPLETELY rooted through my trash. sighed. decided i could continue the search tomorrow. looked down.
it was on the floor at the corner of the foot of the bed, right where i'd been on my hands and knees 10mins earlier.
i just... wanted to play a little pkmn before eeping... why are all styluses of all kinds LIKE THIS????? ugh.

lady terror question for you: 😊
do lady terror and francis ever argue with each other and how would they apologise/make up?
also how would you describe her relationship/interactions with the other characters, friendships etc.
OOOOOOOOH
OK OK ok... First? oh yeah. Without revealing too much, they have argued like HELL with each other throughout. And of course, as you can imagine, the worst of their arguments (with some of the most bleak and cutting words- from the both of them) occur during year 2 in the ice off king william land which... yeah. And I tell ya. Some anxieties and fears (and even love- weirdly and fucked up as the expression of it might be) are revealed through them (in fact- the "I have everything to fear of you" bit that I love hauling out all the time is the butt-end to one such argument. and it's so hot god damnit). As for making up? well... you'll see 😉(just know that it's sweet and tearful and cuddly).
AS FOR OTHER RELATIONSHIPS??? OHHHHHH THANK YOU I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE FOR A WHILE!!!! Bc I love her relationship with Francis but I've written just as much dialogue with her and other characters as well.
Thomas Blanky is easily the person that she vibes with the most on either ship- bc he comes from a very similar sailing background that she does (more merchant ship/whaling stuff than naval expeditions) and she’s much more appreciative of his kind of sense of humor and general outlook on things. It sets her at ease somehow, and also reminds her of her father. Not to mention that he also treats her not just with respect but with the kind of camaraderie that she experienced on her father’s ship- like not a lot of people on these ships would just… hang out with her? And exchange filthy jokes and limericks while they work. And have a genuinely friendly rapport that isn’t marred with all the victorian social trappings- which is what she wants at the end of the day. If anyone is her true bestie on this expedition, it’s gotta be Mr. Blanky 🥰
The second most important relationship is with Jopson. He was a bit wary of her at first, but the more times she spends on Terror, and the more she sees both her and the captain warming up to each other? Not to mention her concern for his well-being (which is something that no one ever really shows him)??? He kindof ends up seeing her as the elder sister that he’d never had.
James Fitzjames is, of course, her natural frenemy. Kindof like a Darcy figure honestly (watch this space). But I think they have some of the most interesting conversations I've written honestly. I think she catches on fairly early that a lot of James is a front- and James is unsettled by that because the thing that masculinity has afforded him is adiquate cover, but to be confronted by the feminine and be seen? Scares the shit out of him, but he still respects and cares for her.
Goodsir is her little Inuktitut study buddy and confidante on Erebus. Their cabins are even right next to each other. They're both kind of in the same position (just in different disciplines, ofc) , and they do try to look after each other as best they can. This man will bring her a cherry stone heating pad when she's having cramps, the absolute king that he is, and also pass on information to her that others wouldn't deem suitable for her ears. She even helps him out in the surgery every now and again when Dr. Stanley can't be fucked! They're rational critical thought buddies.
AND SPEAKING OF BUDDIES!!! SILNA!!!! god there's a lot going on there and I don't want to reveal too much but they are nb gal pals and there's nothing none of these stuffy old british bitches can do about it and that's all I have to say on the matter. 1000% a part of the 'respect indiginous folks' defense squad.
there is so much more. but these are sort of the major ones for me that I've fleshed out so far. (honorable mention to Bridgens, who is her book club buddy and who she loves having conversations with about this stuff. she endears herself to old farts like that what can I say?) More to come ofc when I finish this damn enterprise but THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!!!!

galladrabbles: neil gaiman 🤝
this week's @galladrabbles for the lovely quote delivered to us by @lizelandre :
"the world out there is complicated, and there are beasts in the night, and delight and pain, and the only thing that makes it okay, sometimes, is to reach out a hand in the darkness and find another hand to squeeze, and not to be alone."
-------------
Flames ravage Terry’s casket, crackling like wind from a summer storm. The kind Mickey teased neighborhood kids about. Pussies cowering at one clap of thunder.
They didn’t know the nights spent hidden in his own closet. Huddled close to Mandy. Trembling hands clasped together. Praying the rumble of their father’s yell, the crack of his fist, would pass them by. A storm more devastating than anything in nature.
Mickey squeezes his husband’s hand. A comforting tactile tether. And even though Terry’s dead, the sky now clear, Mickey knows he’ll forever crave that shelter.
But that’s okay. Because he’s not alone.

messages about i want to be well are so jarring. that story really does exist in this little pocket dimension with characterization consistent ONLY with umbrella academy season 1 and it BARELY has any ~romance~ and i would th ink people would have lost interest. but it still gets more attention than anything i’ve written since 🥲
