As an astronomer, astrophysicist, science fiction writer, and author, Sagan dedicated his life to furthering our understanding of the cosmos and bringing science into the mainstream consciousness. Born November 9, 1934 in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Edward Sagan demonstrated a deep curiosity about the…

#Animorphs#personally I think it’d go#ax Marco-cassie (tie that he’d hate) Tobias Rachel Jake#ax would be quintessential. tumblr distilled. especially since he keeps up with his shows#cassie would be an animal/science blogger in a really popular way and Marco would#Marco would make really cutting/observant remarks that would make you bust a gut#Tobias would be a less often kind of ax guy. naturey posts half the time. btw both he and ax are straight up about#being hawks and aliens and no one would truly believe them/believe them more than a kin thing#Rachel would be a fashion/opinion blogger and WOULD be really good at it. except she doesn’t really want to get tumblr and forgets she has#an account except when instagram is being annoying.#Jake doesn’t really care for social media and enjoys watching YouTube mostly#he’d get an account to follow his friends/cousin here because he’s supportive#David would be a cybersmith#but unpopular#visser three would reblog mostly cat things and posts about bloodthirstiness#and would occasionally post the kind of shit that if you#ran across it#it would be instant block time

I need DC Comics to give the Justice League the "Wayne Family Adventures" treatment because I'm convinced that the environment in the Watchtower is exactly like a high school.
#the founding members are the popular ones and everybody wants to be with them#there are no bullies but everyone is lowkey scared of Batman#superman is your golden heart most popular boy#martian manhunter is the hall monitor#the green lanterns are the jocks lol#flash your hyperactive science nerd#and so on#bwfa#webtoon#dc comics#justice league#jla#batman#superman#green lantern#martian manhunter#wonder woman#hawkgirl#wayne family adventures

Why pool make eyes STING please?
Your eyes sting in the pool because of chlorine. Chlorination of pools has been normal since biblical times to prevent bacterial and insect egg growth. It was first noted at the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. Being Bethesda it was of course full of bugs, so to keep it clean, they poured in chlorine (known back then as "The Bile of Samael") to keep the water clear.
Soon after, people noted healing properties to the pools, and they became a pilgrimage site. Far from superstition, the chlorine was metastatic, entering the bodies of those present and having an antibiotic effect. Thus a pool's healing force can be predicted from having a high meta-chlorine count.

Jayvik Modern AUs are hilarious to me because my boy Jayce is NOT playing any sports. He is NOT a jock. He is a gymbro nerd who tries to get his rich sister to play DnD with him, spends his days at the chemistry lab, plays chess and one day he suddenly needs to help the football team covering for someone because people think he must like sports. He doesn't even get along with everyone. He tries, of course, but he isn't the golden boy until the extremely rich and popular girl, president of the student-council, goes all "Popular! You're gonna be popular!" Glinda on him until he becomes popular thinking he's doing something good for the school when he isn't and he's getting carried away by fame and parties when all he truly wants is being with his lab partner Viktor. At the end of the day, Arcane truly was just like High School tbh.
#i am so sorry i just don't think jayce would willingly play any sports if he can choose something else#like i'm sure he would enjoy it bc team sports AND he can also be extremely smart and be at the lab at the same time but#i think if my boy is doing something he's spending 24/7 of his time with science#he'd skip training to be with viktor like my boy is not the captain team at all unless his brain gets eaten by the worms of popularity#this is not jock meets nerd btw this is be more chill??????? LIKE CAN YOU SEE MY VISION#this is be more chill they sing two player game and THEN jayce turns popular and realizes he has fucked up#yes he plays sports he turns into the golden boy of the school but NOT on his own that's why mel is there#'you're gonna grin and bear it. your new found popularity' is just mel to jayce wdym#arcane#jayvik#jayce talis#viktor arcane

Idia drabble, fluff, lots of couple banter
Your wishlist containing released games is empty.
In the next several minutes after saving a title to one, you can expect a notification that the game is getting downloaded, and a mere seconds after that—several messages from your boyfriend.
“thought u would never play it lol”
“weren't you supposed to be studying??”
He sends a meme degrading your hierarchy of values as if he were any better. It is followed by a request.
“stream it to me when you play it”
And you do, after thanking him yet chiding him for wasting too much money on you without a second thought. His reply was a string of emojis and guarantee that he is doing it all for himself, because “educating you on the topic of latest games is his duty” and he cares about “the boyfriend points”.
“I hope my love’o’meter for u was broken by all that pampering lmao”
“waiting for my cg to load up…”
[NAME]: “not enough affection points”
“damn”
“i need a walkthroughyt to this route”
Idia has you join a voice channel, with you sharing your screen. Playing a game in a separate dorm is a whole different experience than having him beside you, with his hands almost trembling to grab your controller if you couldn’t get past a certain level.
He would always wait for you to ask him for help, though. Then he could let the feeling of self-satisfaction sink in as he easily guided your character to another enemy to slash.
If he only has you on the voice chat, you might be able to finish the game almost fully by yourself.
You can hear the soft sound of his keyboard as he plays something as well. He divides his attention between you and his entertainment, and he throws in commentary to your playthrough, teasing you when you can’t find a secret key to the special gate, bullying you when you find the puzzles too hard, or when you pick the wrong dialogue option.
At some point, you might try to (playfully) mute his microphone, but you can only have eight seconds of silence before he hacks into the options.
“No need to be jealous of my gaming knowledge,” he exclaims, and you know he has that big stupid grin on his face. You huff, and he hums. “But if you want me to help, all you need to do is just ask.”
“I want to go through this game myself!”
“Okay, sure. But you know you have already missed the opportunity for the best ending, no?” He laughs. “That’s what you get for muting me, kitten.”
No need to spoil the ending just to get back at me, you’d love to say, but you learned that the shy boy who couldn’t hold your gaze several months ago is actually a big tease. You must’ve grown too much on him, as he would have continued the bickering even if you showed up in his room. No social anxiety towards you—that’s a bit of a shame, he was cute when you first started dating.
…Well, Idia you know now is a cutie as well, even if he can be very annoying sometimes.
“Enough. I’m going to play my otome games, bye.”
You log out, and shut the stream, chuckling all the time. A funny feeling tingled your heart, like always when you won (or have you?) in banter in Idia: your heart is warm enough to probably melt through the ribcage, but a subtle alarm rings in your head. Idia will probably take revenge for this.
He must already be in distress. He doesn’t like you playing otome games alone, as if you could have ever preferred a 2D boy over Idia. The thought makes you laugh.
You plop on your bed, unlocking your phone and tapping an icon of the name game you’ve installed. Although playing it with Idia would have been funnier, you are going to play him just out of spite.
…And after that, you will send him a wall of text about those handsome characters, because he needs to be updated on your current obsessions.
The title screen appears before everything crashes and the screen goes black. Several messages in neon-blue futuristic font colour appear one by one.
An error has occurred.
Caught exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “characters”, line 46, in script
File “stats”, line 153, in script
File “story”, line 665, in script
File “achievements”, line 411, in log.1
File “backup_data”, line 139, in log
To continue:
“[Name]-san. Please come to our dorm. My brother is moping (so he won’t be finishing his project anytime soon, which is, really bad) and I would appreciate you having mercy on him.
Once you come, I will restore your data! It’s a promise :>
— ORTHO”
…Damn those Shrouds.
#idia strikes me as a man who can play a games with you but if it's not a cozy game he will criticize you a lot#he would probably love playing with you but his inner desire for winning a game is bigger than anything#watching him play a game is a show though#bring the popcorn#he could be a popular gaming streamer if he didn't fear people irl would comment on it#idia shroud#idia shroud x reader#idia x reader#twisted wonderland x reader#twisted wonderland#twst x reader#twst#twisted wonderland imagines#twst imagines#twst idia#twst idia x reader#as a computer science student i have no idea if an error like that could occur (burning in shame)
