Student Experiments Soar!
youtube
Have you ever wondered what it takes to get a technology ready for space? The NASA TechRise Student Challenge gives middle and high school students a chance to do just that ā team up with their classmates to design an original science or technology project and bring that idea to life as a payload on a suborbital vehicle.
Since March 2021, with the help of teachers and technical advisors, students across the country have dreamed up experiments with the potential to impact space exploration and collect data about our planet.
So far, more than 180 TechRise experiments have flown on suborbital vehicles that expose them to the conditions of space. Flight testing is a big step along the path of space technology development and scientific discovery.
The 2023-2024 TechRise Challenge flight tests took place this summer, with 60 student teams selected to fly their experiments on one of two commercial suborbital flight platforms: a high-altitude balloon operated by World View, or the Xodiac rocket-powered lander operated by Astrobotic. Xodiac flew over the companyās Lunar Surface Proving Ground ā a test field designed to simulate the Moonās surface ā in Mojave, California, while World Viewās high-altitude balloon launched out of Page, Arizona.

Here are four innovative TechRise experiments built by students and tested aboard NASA-supported flights this summer:

1. Oobleck Reaches the Skies
Oobleck, which gets its name from Dr. Seuss, is a mixture of cornstarch and water that behaves as both a liquid and a solid. Inspired by in-class science experiments, high school students at Colegio Otoqui in Bayomón, Puerto Rico, tested how Oobleckās properties at 80,000 feet aboard a high-altitude balloon are different from those on Earthās surface. Using sensors and the organic elements to create Oobleck, students aimed to collect data on the fluid under different conditions to determine if it could be used as a system for impact absorption.

2. Terrestrial Magnetic Field
Middle school students at Phillips Academy International Baccalaureate School in Birmingham, Alabama, tested the Earthās magnetic field strength during the ascent, float, and descent of the high-altitude balloon. The team hypothesized the magnetic field strength decreases as the distance from Earthās surface increases.

3. Rocket Lander Flame Experiment
To understand the impact of dust, rocks, and other materials kicked up by a rocket plume when landing on the Moon, middle school students at Cliff Valley School in Atlanta, Georgia, tested the vibrations of the Xodiac rocket-powered lander using CO2 and vibration sensors. The team also used infrared (thermal) and visual light cameras to attempt to detect the hazards produced by the rocket plume on the simulated lunar surface, which is important to ensure a safe landing.

4. Rocket Navigation
Middle and high school students at Tiospaye Topa School in LaPlant, South Dakota, developed an experiment to track motion data with the help of a GPS tracker and magnetic radar. Using data from the rocket-powered lander flight, the team will create a map of the flight path as well as the magnetic field of the terrain. The students plan to use their map to explore developing their own rocket navigation system.
youtube
The 2024-2025 TechRise Challenge is now accepting proposals for technology and science to be tested on a high-altitude balloon! Not only does TechRise offer hands-on experience in a live testing scenario, but it also provides an opportunity to learn about teamwork, project management, and other real-world skills.
āThe TechRise Challenge was a truly remarkable journey for our team,ā said Roshni Ismail, the team lead and educator at Cliff Valley School. āWatching them transform through the discovery of new skills, problem-solving together while being driven by the chance of flying their creation on a [rocket-powered lander] with NASA has been exhilarating. They challenged themselves to learn through trial and error and worked long hours to overcome every obstacle. We are very grateful for this opportunity.ā
Are you ready to bring your experiment design to the launchpad? If you are a sixth to 12th grade student, you can make a team under the guidance of an educator and submit your experiment ideas by November 1. Get ready to create!

NEW ANKAM APROJECTS SYNOPSIS
As the Annecy Festival 2025 approaches and Ankama prepares to showcase their new projects, they have updated the Ankama Animations sites with new sneak peeks and synopsis of plenty of their upcoming works! You can check them all on this website, though I'm gonna share it on this very post too: https://www.ankama.com/en/animations
WAKFU SEASON 5:
As Yugo and Amalia get ready to rule over the Sadida kingdom, a new threat rears its head. Count Harebourg, who has merged with the Eliacube, launches a campaign of conquest to restore the glory of Frigost, the nation he rules. Iz, the king of Odessa, has been defeated and his daughter Croco has been captured. At the same time, strange spiders controlled by a dark force are infiltrating the Sadida kingdom. The political tensions, betrayals and buried secrets of the five Sadida clans will forge or shatter the kingdom's unity.



WELSH & SHEDAR
Zabelle Sheran Sharm, queen of Bonta and guardian of the Ebony Dofus, dreams of uniting the nations of the World of Twelve. But her tyrannical reign and thirst for power have plunged the lands into misery. A prophecy, proclaimed by her son Shedar, foretells her fall and that a boy with azure blue eyes will bring an end to her power.
This boy is Welsh, a young cook from Brassica. His life is upended when a black dragon, Asalar, attacks his village. To save his world, Welsh must find the Ivory Dofus, the only artifact capable of defeating Zabelle. Accompanied by his faithful friend BƩchamel and the adventurers Joris and Khan Karkass, Welsh discovers his true origins and embraces his fate as a hero. Together, they must face unsuspected dangers to free the World of Twelve from Zabelle's clutches.

MORSHIKEN
In the World of Twelve, where adventurers seek glory and loot, Morshiken, a troubled Sram, is trying to manage his dungeon... A ruin that smells so bad that everyone with a nose (or snout) stays far away. Broke and caught in a constant losing cycle, our hero is desperately trying to keep his business afloat. Luckily, he can count on SDF, a Iop rapper who's surprisingly wise (for a Iop).Ā Plot twist: Morshiken can break the fourth wall, complain about the narrative, and tryĀ - often in vainĀ - to change his fate. Between absurd comedy and biting satire, Morshiken offers a new look at the DOFUS universe through the lens of an improbable quest: turning a broken-down dungeon into a legendary spot.







WAVEN
In a world ravaged by a magical cataclysm that swallowed most of the land and erased the memories of the few survivors, a new era of chaos and piracy is dawning. In the center of this broken world, an unlikely but fearsome heroine is trying to survive with her exceptional skills. Nicknamed "The Maimed" in the arenas, this one-eyed, one-armed captain sets off on a perilous and mysterious quest with a wild child, a grumpy seagull and a crew of misfits. Between epic battles, heart-wrenching revelations and unstable magic, Waven explores the theme of rebuilding a world...

The Annecy festival is next week, so we might get some trailers and potentially dates for some of these projects! For Waven though, it won't be coming until after season 5 has released.

A Mr. Lancer ficlet for the Danny Phantom Phic Phight 2025
---
After Mr. Lancerās stroke, the substitute had the class create a get-well card as a group project.
Danny had signed his name, and drew a smiley face beside it. It wasnāt as nice as Samās vining purple flowers along the border of the poster-sized card, or Paulinaās Sayonara Pussycat stickers, but it was all Danny could think to contribute.
When Mr. Lancer returned one morning with his usual optimistic smile, the class cheered. Like during a football game. Though Danny was pretty sure Dash and the other jocks just wanted to make as much noise as possible for the fun of it when they started letting out ear-piercing whistles and stomping their feet.
Lancer actually sniffed and used a finger to wipe away a tear, before asking the class to quiet down.
He thanked everyone for the card and well-wishes, and said he was feeling much better and was eager to get back to teaching them all.
Then he turned to write on the chalkboard.
As he filled the board with writing, the class started whispering. And once he was done, and turned around to tell the class that the page numbers and questions to answer were on the board; Star had hesitantly raised her hand and delicately told him that none of the class could read it.
It took a few minutes for Lancer to be convinced that the class truly couldnāt make out his writing. Then he paled. And went back to the hospital.
He didn't come to school the next day, but did return the day after.
Each time he picked up the chalk to write something on the board, he paused, and then put the chalk back down.
Even Lancerās notes on their returned assignments were unreadable to the class. But, as the weeks passed, people stopped mentioning it.
The thing was... Danny could read it.
For the rest of the class, Lancerās writing was nothing but odd squigglesāa lingering side-effect of his stroke; maybe brain damage to the language part of his brain, or nerve damage in his hand messing up his fine motor skills. But to Danny, Lancerās writing was as clear as day.
Lancer was writing in Ghost Script.
---
He, Mr. Lancer, glanced around, pulling the collar of his coat a bit higher around his face, before entering the door to the old warehouse.
He couldnāt let anyone from Casper High know about his extracurricular activities. About his secret double life after dark.
---
When Danny got an invite from the Ghost Writer to join a book club, his first impulse was to shred the invitation.
But he managed to keep from destroying itābarely.
The last time heād destroyed something of the Ghost Writerās and mocked the guy, heād stuck him inside a story. Danny thought heād never get out of those rhymes!
So, Danny, with gritted teeth, took the invitation politely, and thanked him for the invite.
If the Ghost Writer saw Dannyās eye twitching, he said nothing.
---
After a week of his eyes randomly landing on the invitation sitting on his dresser, Danny decided to go and see what that book club was like.
Even if he didnāt particularly like reading.
When Danny got to the rusted door, he double-checked the address.
Was that a 6, or a 9 that got loose and flipped upside down?
No, it really was a 6.
Danny tried the doorknob, but, though it turned, the door wouldnāt budge. When he shoved his shoulder against it, he heard a little rust falling, but that was all that happened.
Eventually, he sighed and went intangible through the door.
Heād gone to the address as Fenton, not wanting to draw attention by going as Danny Phantom, so heād of preferred not to need ghost powers. But it did look like an abandoned part of town, so it probably didnāt matter.
Entering the warehouse, and letting his eyes adjust for a moment, he looked around and saw the Ghost Writer and several other ghosts sitting in midair in a circle, glowing books in their hands.
Then Danny squinted at a ghost he didnāt instantly remember. His back was to Danny, and Danny traced his eyes across the ghostās pointed ears and bald head, and his maroon shirt.
Johnny called out to Danny, grabbing his attention for a moment, and all the other ghosts turned their heads to see Danny as well, waving or welcoming him to the club.
The mystery ghost looked over his shoulder, and Dannyās eyes widened. āMr. Lancer?ā
Lancerās mouth dropped open.
Then the Box Ghost asked, āThe teacher often found at your school?ā
The Lunch Lady said, sweetly, āThe one who took all the meat from the poor students?ā
āThe one who keeps hiding the boxes?ā The Box Ghost added.
āThe one who tried to give me detention for riding my motorcycle in the halls?ā Johnny asked boredly.
Lancer glanced around, wide-eyed, at the ghosts in front of him, and at Danny Fenton.
āFuck!ā
---
I used these prompts:
@pennerjones "Mr. Lancer returns to school about a week after suffering an apparent stroke and needing to be rushed to the hospital. He's feeling much better and is ready to get back to teaching...only, when he tries to write anything on the chalkboard, all he can seem to write is a series of odd squiggles. --- Only Danny realizes that Mr. Lancer is now writing exclusively in ghost script"
@higgidigs "Mr. Lancer has a secret double life that nobody else knows about."
@ecto-mochi "All the ghosts decide to make a book club. To their surprise, Lancer shows up!"
@finwe77 "The incident that gets Mr Lancer to use actual curses instead of just book titles."

Eric Holthaus at The Guardian:
A major US government website supporting public education on climate science looks likely to be shuttered after almost all of its staff were fired, the Guardian has learned. Climate.gov, the gateway website for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa)ās Climate Program Office, will imminently no longer publish new content, according to multiple former staff responsible for the siteās content whose contracts were recently terminated. āThe entire content production staff at climate.gov (including me) were let go from our government contract on 31 May,ā said a former government contractor who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. āWe were told that our positions within the contract were being eliminated.ā Rebecca Lindsey, the websiteās former program manager, who was fired in February as part of the governmentās purge of probationary employees, described a months-long situation within Noaa where political appointees and career staff argued over the fate of the website.
āI had gotten a stellar performance review, gotten a bonus, gotten a raise. I was performing very well. And then I was part of that group who got the form letter saying, āYour knowledge, skills, and abilities are no longer of use to Noaaā ā or something to that effect.ā Lindsey said she had been worried thatĀ climate.govĀ might be a target of the new administration soon after the election, but when a large Noaa contract was up for renewal at the end of May, her former boss told her that a demand came āfrom aboveā to rewrite parts of the contract to remove the teamās funding. āIt was a very deliberate, targeted attack,ā said Lindsey. Lindsey said the content forĀ climate.govĀ wasĀ created and maintained by a contracted staff of about 10, with additional contributions from Noaa scientists, and its editorial content was specifically designed to be politically neutral, and faithful to the current state of the sciences. All of those staff have now been dismissed, she said.
[...] The climate.gov site was housed within the communication, education, and engagement division of Noaa, whichĀ describes itselfĀ as āthe largest team in the federal government dedicated to climate communication, education, and engagementā.
The website receives hundreds of thousands of visits per month and is one of the most popular sources of information about climate science on the internet. The fired staff believe the changes to climate.gov were targeted by political appointees within theĀ Trump administrationĀ and specifically aimed at restricting public-facing climate information.
Climate.gov is set to be shut down due to the Project 2025-inspired cuts to the NOAAās climate science endeavors.

***YOU NEED TO CLICK TO ALLOW YOURSELF TO EDIT THR GOOGLE DOC IN ORDER TO ENTER YOUR INFORMATION IN THE SPREADSHEET***
INTEREST CHECK: Atlantis: The Lost Empire 25th Anniversary Fan Zine
Hello! My name is Bree and Iām an artist living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was a huge inspiration growing up and I was looking to see if others wanted to collaborate to put together a fan zine to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the filmās theatrical release in June 2026! This would be something to showcase fan art and writings about the characters, story, and shorter fanfics of headcanons/backstories/lore/etc.
This isnāt something set in stone and Iām currently gauging interest for participation/help to head the project.
Due to political instability and tariffs for the United States, Iām unsure if larger merch beyond domestic stickers or prints (such as pins or acrylic keychains) would be able to be included as merch tiers, but if this is a project that would be done at a larger scale with print production being outsourced/not done locally by myself, I image any profits left after printing and productions/distribution could be donated to the participating artists to support cost of living as well as an ocean conservation or scientific studies non profit.
If you are interested in this project, please fill out the table form below! I am really looking to work alongside some others who may have more experience in tackling larger projects on a timeline who are familiar with production, editing, project management, distribution, or fundraising campaigns, as I am not experienced in all of this pipeline or the finances of crowdfunding at scale (and how to avoid the ire of one MichaelMouse). If it sounds like you would fit the bill and would like to help lead this fan zine project along with myself and others, please mark so in the form along with your previous experience.
Imagined timeline would have participant submissions collected by end of 2025/early 2026 to allow time for production, print, and distribution alongside the June 2026 anniversary. Unless thereās unusually high interest, this is open to all artistic skill levels. USE OF AI OR GENERATIVE AI/LLMs IS PROHIBITED. The crew put some much human love and care into the film itself, we must do the same!
Thank you for your interest! I hope we are able to make this fan zine a reality!

CLONE X OC WEEK 2025
DAY 1 : INTRODUCTION
WOOO!! It's finally monday where I'm at, so I can start posting my Clone x OC prompts! ^^ I've been really excited to do this, and hopefully I get everything right. Even managed to doodle up a really quick banner for it, lol. So, without further ado, here are some important links for anyone wanting to keep up with my posts for the week who are new...
Juno's Bio website
Juntech informational Hub (outdated!)
... And, here's the tag for the account! @clonexocweek
Now, let's get into the prompts!
How did Juno and Tech meet?
Due to the semi-spoilery nature of this part of their shared story, and with our primary project regarding these two meeting still being in the works, I'll try to keep this vague while still being interesting! ~
Unfortuate circumstances had Tech completely separated from his brothers, trapped as a hostage in an underground testing facility designed by Separatists. They subjected him to various different types of grueling tests and torture - one of them being combat endurance training.
These sorts of tests were meant to examine a clone troopers endurance under extreme pressure when faced with an enemy (or many). Tech was a particularly fascinating subject to watch, especially due to his enhancements often creating a defecit in his combat skills. Who wouldn't want to spectate a mutated clone troopr fight endless waves of droids and sentients alike? Especially one with such a focus on brains, rather than brawn?
It didn't take Tech very long until they got bored of watching him mow down wave after wave of droids. Thus, they finally threw in a human variable... and little did Tech know, that this human variable was none other than Juno - a fellow prisoner in the same facility.
Of course, they're covered head-to-toe in specialized combat gear that completely covers the face. They have no idea who the enemy is - just that they need to shoot.
(today is not a drawing day for me, so please excuse the ugly sketch. xD)

Items and Worldbuilding: Created a range of new itemsāfrom soulshift coins to potions, rations, and over a dozen fishable speciesāenriching Mythauraās economy and interactions.
Star Signs & Astrology: Continued to elaborate on the zodiac-like system, connecting each Beastās fate to celestial alignments.
Questing & Story Outline: Laid the groundwork for the intro quest pipeline and overarching narrative, ensuring that playersā journey unfolds with purposeful progression.
Code
This year, the development team worked diligently on refining and expanding the codebase to support new features, enhance performance, and improve gameplay experiences. A total 429,000 lines of code changed across both the backend and frontend, reflecting:
New Features: Implementation of systems like skill trees, inventory management, community forums, elite enemies, npc & quest systems, and advanced customization options for Beasts.
Optimizations and Refactoring: Significant cleanup and streamlining of backend systems, such as game state management, passive effects, damage algorithms, and map data structures, ensuring better performance and maintainability.
Map Builder: a tool that allows us to build bespoke maps
Regular updates to ensure compatibility with modern tools and frameworks.
Itās worth noting that line changes alone donāt capture the complexity of programming work. For example:
A single line of efficient code can replace multiple lines of legacy logic.
Optimizing backend systems often involves removing redundant or outdated code without adding new functionality.
Things like added dependencies can add many lines of code without adding much bespoke functionality.

Refactored "Beast Parties" into "User Parties," allowing non-beast entities like NPCs to be added to your party. NPCs added to your party will follow you in the overworld, cannot be made your leader, and will make their own decisions in combat.
Checkpoint floor functionality ironed out, allowing pre-built maps to appear at specific floor intervals.
The ability to set spawn and end coordinates in the map builder was added to allow staff to build checkpoint floors.
Various cleanups and refactors to improve performance and reduce the number of queries needed to run certain operations.
Added location events, which power interactable objects in the overworld, such as a lootable chest or a pickable bush.

Thank You!

Hello again and happy new year!! ā¤ļø We're entering 2025!
It's probably not midnight yet for a lot of you folks, but it is January 1st for me in my timezone!
Thank you for all your support throughout 2024. I know I haven't been as active as before, but I appreciate those of you have stuck around regardless! I wish you all a wonderful new year, and let's continue enjoying the moment together!
š
And of course, a yearly artist summary is needed..
Overall, I'm quite satisfied for this year's art! With the experience I got from 2023, I could finally match my skill level with the ideas I came up with and push my limits.
Now that I've kinda gotten the basics down, in 2025 I want to start making a presence for myself! What does that mean? Well, I'd like to:
1. Post more variety (Sketches, snippets of writing)
2. Improve more (Use references, do stuff :P)
3. Have fun!!! (Do whatever I like :D)
These are my goals for 2025. I hope I can work on them steadily!! See you next year š
Extra (I just want to shout out my favourite projects from this year!)
"Wonderland in the sky" (January for the art summary) is currently sitting at a whopping 700-or-so notes! I was really proud of it since it's my first animated art. Thank you for the love!
Also, I loved participating in Marxolor Week 2024! I never thought that a ship week for my favourite characters could actually come into fruition, but I'm so glad it did! Co-managing it was a blast, and I loved seeing everyone's beautiful art. Special thanks to Dess for organising the whole thing and making "Marxolor Day" real!
(Though, I did push myself a little too hard to finish the art... avoiding that next time ^^')
Last but certainly not least, a very, very special thank you to everyone who supported Darling Dance! It was a very tough and time-consuming project, but I'm so happy with the final result (^^)
My personal goal for it was 1000 views, and it's currently sitting at 1272! If there's one thing I really hope I can do in 2025, it's making another MV.
That's a wrap for now! Thank you for reading all that text, I just had so many things I want to say!! And thank you for enduring through all the thank yous! There's very few words that can describe my gratitude towards everyone that's ever looked at or complimented my work.
It's 4AM, so I'm gonna dip out now... Sweet dreams and once again, Happy New Year ššš
#mw art#kirby#magolor#marx kirby#marxolor#Marx: Check it out! I can hold a sparkler upside down while FLYING! Isn't that cool?#Magolor: Isn't putting our sparklers so close to each other a bad idea? Still... I'm glad you're having fun. :)

skz expectations in 2025
ā ļø for entertainment purposes only *based on tarot
ššš£š šššš£
career: he's ready to break some rules. he wants to do things his own way and break out of anything that feels too strict or traditional. staying true to what he believes in is his priority, even if it means fighting for it.
love/sex: he's in full flirting mode and just wants to have fun without anything serious. he wants to test the limits of his charm and see how many women he can seduce.
š”šš š š£š¤š¬
career: he's still unsure about the direction he wants to take. this year, he's hoping for clarity as he explores his options, whether that's deciding on a music style or stepping into a new territory.
love/sex: heās focused on work and himself. If he's in a relationship, itās not looking good, as his priorities are elsewhere.
šššš£šššš£
career: collaboration is his focus, working with some of the producers he admires, featuring artists in his songs or maybe being a producer for other groups. he expects to work with a lot of people this year.
love/sex: he doesn't really looking for love. similar to lee know, this year he's focusing solely on himself. though he has a slight urge to challenge social norms, heās still holding back.
šš®šŖš£ššš£
career: he needs things to slow down a little. heās stepping back to rest, reflect, and recharge. he doesn't have anything big on his mind, heās taking the time to figure out what he wants next.
love/sex: itās time for stability. heās seeking a grounded, practical relationship, leaving behind dreaminess and unrealistic expectations.
ššš£
career: heās in exploration mode, experimenting, learning, and finding inspiration. creativity is his main focus as he sharpens his skills and tries out new ideas.
love/sex: everything is about here and now. if he's in a relationship, he doesn't care what will be in the distant future, he's only want to live in the moment. he's turning a blind eye to every differences they both possess and I think it's including gender and sexual orientation.
ššš”šš
career: he's focused on building his skills and laying the groundwork for his future. every choice is about practicality and stability. he's planting seeds and working toward long-term success.
love/sex: his focus is mainly on work so he's trying to find a nice balance between the two. he doesn't have much expectation on romance so his love life might not see much progress this year.
šØššŖš£šš¢šš£
career: heās walking away from something that no longer makes him happy, a project, some work ethics, or maybe some music styles. heās ready to move on and search for something more fulfilling. his goal is clear and he's making his way toward that.
love/sex: he just wants to fall so deeply in love that he can't escape it. he craves passion and emotional depth, where love and sex are perfectly in sync. it seems like he's had his share of purely physical sex this past year, and now he's longing for something genuinely meaningful.
ššš¤š£ššš£
career: he's focusing on his emotions and learning how to manage them without letting them get in the way. he struggled with balance in the past, but this year, he aims to regain control so he can give his full effort at work.
love/sex: he hasnāt figured out what he truly needs yet. itās all fun and games for now, with no deep or serious relationships in sight. he just wants to stay carefree and explore as much as possible.

Happy New Year: Pick a Month to get a clue about your 2025 !
The clue isnāt necessarily about the month you picked.
January:
The Lovers, The Emperor, Nine of Pentacles You are in for a very balanced year. You will grow into your potential and your inner authority, while nurturing your opportunities and what you already started growing in 2024 and 2023. Expect being in a place of authority, of power, where people look up to you.
February:
Five of Pentacles, Five of Wands, Eight of Wands Expect trouble this year, you may get into financial or interpersonal issues and disagreements. Do not fear, because it will all be opportunities for you to blast through obstacles and grow exponentially. It may be the opportunity for you to deal with inner wounds linked to productivity, effort, work and rewards etc.
March:
The World, Seven of Wands, The High Priestess
You will accomplish a lot this year. You will finish projects, complete phases and requirements and overall will put a happy close to a lot of currently open-ended projects. You may have to fight a little to get through them, but as you follow your intuition you will realize you are capable of much more than you thought you were in January.
April: The High Priestess, Judgement, Six of Cups
This will be a year for connecting to yourself, especially your childhood self and your family, chosen or otherwise. This year may be decisive, as many of your choices will have a high impact on your close and far-away future. This may be a pile for late high school or college students who are making big decisions this year ! In all the trials, do not forget to give and care for yourself.
May:
Queen of Pentacles, Strength, FIve of Cups
You will manage this year like a Queen, goddamn. I see you in the middle of all these flows and just dealing with everything brilliantly, in a connected manner. A very aligned year for you. There is this underlying feel of disappointment, it seems like it is quite there, so you may currently be dealing with some sort of sadness, heartbreak or disappointment which may hold on for a while in 2025, but you are still incredibly capable of having a good year for yourself
June:
Ace of Cups, Eight of Pentacles, The Hermit
This gives balanced hustle energy. Definitely a year where you put your head down and work hard, especially on your own. It doesnāt seem like there will be much going out or many new connections, more of a focus on yourself and existing close friendships, especially on pouring ENERGY INTO YOUR OWN CUP. It seems to be a very strong theme for you. It does seem to be my single pile lmao. Just focusing on yourself, your skills, your craft, your inner heart and bringing peace into your own home in your own space.
July:
The High Priestess, Four of Pentacles, Knight of Swords
Hm, it may be a year where you are forced to stand still for a while. Maybe you asked about a specific project or aspect of your life where you really really really wanted to see growth, fast. Well it will happen, but only when you will get the intuitive hint to do so. Itās this kind of thing that the universe really really wants to happen in a certain way and they don't let you or anyone else mess it or its timeline up, so they will block it until everyone/everything is ready for you to take this action. This will unlock everything and allow you to grow your idea just as you planned it, while it going much further than you thought it would. Letās say for example that you have a business that you planned X number of sales in a month, and 10X in a year.Ā You will get the exact rhythm you expected in a month, however your social media will reach much higher height than you expected, so youāll get 12X orders in a year with twice the numbers of followers/subscribers you expected that allow you to get ahead on your 2026 sales objectives. Kind of a long example, but I hope you get it.
August:
Nine of Pentacles, Four of Wands, The Hierophant Not gonna lie, this is giving big wedding energy haha. If you are already engaged or planning on it soon this is definitely your pile haha. Not only wedding, but also career growth. This doesnāt exactly feel like a promotion, maybe a good augmentation, or someone in freelance having a really really good year with a growing number of loyal clients. There is also this feeling of tradition, respect, honor. You may get cultural rituals or events this year to help you, bless you, support and protect you, that is what causes or supports the wedding and career growth. Congratulations haha
September:
Page of Wands, Ten of Cups, The Star
WOAW HAHA. INCREDIBLE year for you, my September pile. You may get an unbelievable offer, something you are meant for, that you built the skills and mind for. That you are burning to do and are finally getting the opportunity to do simply because you are meant for it and everything is ready for you to do so. You are getting a nearly perfect year, pile September. Start the 2025 Bingo now because this will go MUCH further than your eyes could ever believe it goes, and thatās thanks to you holding onto hope for years before 2025, slowing building up and making progress towards your dreams whatever life was throwing at you, taking every single lemon and turning it into the tastiest lemonade AND candied lemon AND compost AND lemon tree. Insanely good year waiting for you, dear pile.
October:
The Lovers, Page of Wands, Ten of Cups
It feels like a love-oriented year is in store for you, October pile ! It does seem to be with someone you already know, someone who is already on your mind, where you get a spark to light. It could be a long-distance relationship, someone you are friends with, but not like a situationship or something you are unsure of. The two of you are already aware of your bond, there just seems to be a bit of a distance here, emotional or physical. An opportunity will come to light up a spark and for the two of you to come closer and start something, build something really beautiful together.
November:
King of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, Nine of Swords This is the pile of people who will get blessings they don't feel ready for just yet. This is honestly giving the vibe of you getting a promotion at work that you expected but like, you get it in three days when you expected it in 3 years. You get thrusted into this new position, with better pay, more interesting missions, people working under you and reporting to you, but thereās still a strong underlying fear that you are not ready. Well, you are, on the skills level, on the power level, on the mindset level⦠You just donāt feel emotionally ready for it yet, and itās okay. You deserve the best, you deserve this position, you just may have some insecurities or wounds to heal before you are full ready to embrace all this position asks of you, but you are on the right path, have faith in yourself, as much as I, you guides and the Universe have in you.
December:
The Magician, the Chariot, Temperance
HOT DAMN PILE. This will be a very, very powerful year for you. You will learn and apply your knowledge, have all your skills at your disposal to make moves forward in a very balanced, very healthy way. I donāt even know what to say haha, itās like you already know youāre awesome and how awesome youāll be in 2025. Congratulations and great work.

Top Form goes TOO Meta Part 1: Grand Ivory Records recently ended their partnership with Headliner TH, and took sole management responsibilities for their artist Smart Chisanupong:

Which of course sent the fandom on X/Twitter into a full meltdown š
I'm not too worried though. Basically this just means that Smart would be managed by a different company (Grand Ivory Records) separate from his official BL partner Boom (Headliner TH), which I think was the plan from the beginning. When Headliner TH launched their artists' profiles this January, it's quite noticeable that Smart wasn't listed on there, even though Top Form was presumably at its post-production stages at the beginning of the year. Here's Headliner's first Artist Lineup 11 months ago:
youtube
(Boom wasn't in here either)
Then they did these Getting To Know videos for their artists 4 months ago, and Boom had one but Smart did not:
youtube
They did launch a few joint vlogs for Smart and Boom on Headliner TH's YT channel in support of Top Form, but these are few and far in between. The Top Form cast also did very few guest appearances for other Thai channels and shows to promote their series, which we now know is the result of them having different managements.
Plus both Grand Ivory Records and Smart confirmed that he's about to launch an album next month after Top Form finishes airing, signaling his pivot to music (which I think is a management mistake tbh, I'll get to that in a second).
This means that Grand Ivory Records initially loaned their artist Smart to Headliner TH for his acting activities (GIR is a record company after all, not an acting agency). But now that Smart proved to be a bankable actor, they decided they had enough of paying royalties to Headliner and would manage Smart's acting activities themselves (which shows how little GIR trusted Smart's acting skills in the beginning. Loaning your artist means that you're letting another company take the financial and promotional fall if a project doesn't do well).
What does this mean for SmartBoom as an official ship?
If this was 2019, I'd be worried about their ship's longevity. But in 2025, other BL couples have already proven that it's possible to maintain a ship while working for different companies, albeit it'll be harder to retain a fanbase because there are less couple activities. This is actually a gift for their individual careers, as the couple isn't boxed into a specific type of project/promotion and are able to choose any venture, while still retaining the perks of having a core ship.
Billkin and PP Krit are the most successful proof of concept for this, because after the dissolution of Nadao Bangkok, they never did work for the same company. They however, maintained their ship while still pursuing other projects (movies for Billkin, music for PP Krit). They returned as a branded pair in the bromance film the Red Envelope just this year.
Another (tentative) proof of concept is Up and Poom. Poom was actually loaned by Channel 8 to YYDS Entertainment so he can star in My Stand-In (he was in acting limbo at this point). After he left Channel 8 last year, fans speculated that he would join Up's JustUp acting agency, but he never did, nor express any desire to do so. Poom does his own projects and promotions while doing semi-regular couple activities with Up even though they're not under the same management, and Up is doing his own movies and series in the interim. If YYDS airs Love of Silom next year as planned, then they too are proof that BL pairs don't need to be under the same management to survive.
I actually see this as a great move for both of these actors, but the pivot to music is a loss for Smart
Because they are not under the same management, Smart and Boom won't be forced to do fanservice activities as much as their other BL contemporaries. This means they have access to more projects and shows that could boost their own popularity, while still taking advantage of Top Form's fanbase. Boom can star in as many lakorns as he wants while still doing the occasional project with Smart, and Smart can go on concert tours full-time while maintaining a steady presence on TV with Boom. This is not the case for branded pairs under the same management, which are forced to WAIT for couple projects in order to get any audience presence, and are typecasted into the same roles (like MeMindY or Mandee's artists).
Lastly, Smart and Boom wouldn't be required to compete with each other if they're not under the same management. This is a problem for GMMTV's actors, who not only have to compete with other ships to get any brand deals, but with their actual acting partners as well (some brands can only afford one from the pair). Having different managements means that Smart and Boom can build their public image however they like, and court promos and ads that suit their preferences.
However, I know Smart won't see this, but Thailand's Music industry is such a cluttered space. Both Laz1 and LYKN had to debut in BLs just to get any traction. Jeff Satur, too (which I'm assuming is the reason why GIR loaned Smart to Headliner in the first place). But their artists' longevity is basically nonexistent since they're competing with Thai's affinity for international artists. I'm not saying Smart isn't a talented singer/dancer, I'm just saying his career would thrive more in a platform he's already proven amazing at: acting. Switch to lakorn acting like Gulf, and he and Boom can actually garner awards in this space.
Anyway, that's my two cents to this whole matter. I don't think they're backtraking on launching SmartBoom as an official ship, it's just going in more unconventional directions.

ANNOUNCEMENT !
Hi everyone, I have something really personal and important to share. Please take a moment to read all the way.
I'll be answering asks regarding this for the next 6 hours. No, I wonāt be bribed. Yes, I know my inbox is about to explode. I accept my fate.
After much careful consideration and in light of recent developments, Iāve made a big decision regarding this blog @mylovesstuffs and my writing. This space has meant the world to me: it has been my creative outlet, my safe haven, and most importantly, a way for me to connect with some of the most supportive and kind-hearted people out there (yes, thatās you).
That being said,, I've decided to focus on other creative projects that require more of my attention.. A while ago, PLEDIS Entertainment reached out to me regarding some of my writing, and after multiple rounds of interviews and discussions, theyāve offered me a freelance opportunity to be part of their internal creative team. Yes, the same PLEDIS that manages SEVENTEEN.
Iāll be joining their behind-the-scenes content team, helping with narrative building, concepts, and other confidential projects related to SEVENTEEN and their future releases. Itās honestly a dream come true, something I never thought would happen when I first started writing here. But it also comes with its own challenges. Unfortunately, due to legal contracts [NDA, etc.] and company policies, I wonāt be able to continue running this blog as a fanfic and reaction writer. Iāve been advised to step back from writing unofficial content about SEVENTEEN while working with the company.
Iāll be logging out from the blog to dedicate my energy to new projects that require my full attention. Itās a strange feeling, but Iām confident this is the right move for both my growth, my mental health and career. This isnāt a goodbye forever, but it does mean this blog will be on indefinite hiatus.
I am deeply grateful to every single person who read my works, shared kind words, and stuck with me through my ups and downs with this godforsaken app, but this platform helped me hone my skills and gave me the courage to even dream of this moment.
And yes, I know the timing might seem off, but this is genuinely happening. Itās something Iāve thought long and hard about, and Iām excited [and a little nervous] to share this with you all. But yes, this is really happening.
Thank you for being my community, my little corner of the internet where I felt free to create.
I love you all. Thank you for everything.
ā Celeste <3
P.S. Before I log out, Iāll still be posting mingyu's bd oneshot and the collab fic I participated in! Those two will be the only exceptionābefore and after that, there wonāt be any other fics from me. Just wanted to make that clear so no oneās confused later.
⦠š¢ Ā© mylovesstuffs | est. 2025. thank you for being part of this journeyāyour support has meant the world. until we meet again, stay cozy and keep dreaming ! āį“ā
#here as my official announcement [for now?? who knows]#this is actually real and not a bit i swear#if youāre shocked by this decision i promise no one is more surprised than me#ik the timing is awful but letās just ignore that#im here as proof that this is actually happening and not a fever dream lol#not particularly. discreet. about my existential crises but here we are#been spending way too much time in deep reflection. aka screaming into the void#which apparently manifested into a full career shift?? who knew#which is both hilarious and terrifying but we move#i will now disappear into legally obligated silence#i will miss yelling about svt here with you all#itās been real itās been fun itās been real fun [please continue to be unhinged in my honor]#manifesting that i donāt flop at my new endeavor#anyway. letās all pretend to be normal about this#love u all pls donāt let this app burn down while iām gone#celeste signing off
