The shadow jumper (Abyssus souperluminalis), also known as the greater soot sprite or voidstalker, is a small demonoid common to many of the abyssal biomes beneath the Sunken Contintent. Powerful legs as well as its long tail aid it in jumping across large gaps in the relatively lower gravity of the abyss. Its body is covered in a thick, downy double-coat of fur that acts as insulation. Jumpers constantly shed soot-like dander that is both dusty and bitter-smelling, warding off many would-be predators. Jumpers are solitary ambush hunters and often use their club-like tail plume to stung prey.

A sculpture I got to do of souperluminal's absolutely lovely Artober 2022 art. I loved this critter the second is crossed my dash and just knew I had to try my hand at crocheting it. Thank you again for the oppurtunity!

I was recommended by google an article with the title “Top Ten Books of All Time”, and even though I suspected how it would go, I decided to click on it. It started by talking about the process of selecting those books and proceeded to trash on Goodreads and Pride and Prejudice by saying “I went on Goodreads to assist my research, but the #1 book there is Pride and Prejudice, so you can imagine how well that went” (im paraphrasing here). I scrolled down to the list, and yep, all ten books were by white (mostly european) male authors

Ixalan has a whole contintent that the vampires are from and live in but we never saw it in the cards. The new ixalan seems like it wont focus on this either in favor of another unseeen part of ixalan. Why did you do this?

We were making an underground set, and Ixalan felt like the best fit for it. It wasn’t the other way round.

Places in Mass Effect 2 - Zorya "Mud, sweat, and spores," is how Blue Suns mercenaries characterize the planet that gave birth to their home office. This lush garden world is known for its heavy plant and fungal life, creating spectacular jungle zones over much of its eight contintents. Depsite persistent problems with rot and rust, Zorya attracts investors and corporations from all throughout the galaxy, since it has exploited only a fraction of its potential resources. The Blue Suns dominate security contracts on Zorya, so much that residents describe them less like a monopoly, and more like a conquering regime. Colony Founded: 2160 Population: 148 million Capital: Thun Orbital Distance: 1.8 AU Orbital Period: 2.4 Earth Years Radius: 6247 km Day Length: 28.4 Earth Hours Atmospheric Pressure: 1.22 Earth Atmosphere Surface Temperature: 33 Celsius Surface Gravity: 1.0 G

FTF Calculations: Battleship Condescension Auxiliary Power

Doc Scratch here describes the HIC's backup Helmsmen as pushing the ship "near light speed".

Now unfortunately, near light speed is a very vague descriptor, so to account for all possible ends of it, I'm going to use multiple ends of relativistic speed to try and calc the ship's kinetic energy.

90% the speed of light would be 269,813,200 m/s. 75% light speed would be 224,844,300 m/s. And 50% light speed would be 149,896,200 m/s.

I established in a previous calc using this source that the Battleship Condescension was 400 meters long and 300 meters wide. Assuming it has a similar height to the Golden Vessel, it would be around 100 meters tall as well. That gets us a total area of 12,000,000 cubic meters.

Source:

Titanium (a material commonly used in spaceship construction) weighs 4,549 kilograms per cubic meter. Multiply that together and we get 54,588,000,000 kilograms. Since the space ship is a lived-in structure, I'll assume it's 80% hollow (in real life, the Empire State Building is roughly this hollow), getting us 10,917,600,000 kg.

High end:

397,396,070,407,077,000,000,000,000 joules, or 95 Petatons of TNT. (Multi-Continent level)

Mid End:

275,969,411,512,904,000,000,000,000 joules, or 66 Petatons (Multi-Continent level)

Low End:

122,653,071,783,513,000,000,000,000 joules, or 29.3 Petatons (Multi-Continent level)

Jesus Christ.....

Hey, remember when I said that Hiveswap characters max out at Small Building? There's a genuine argument to be made that they scale to this. Hell, Kuprum's whole thing is wanting to be a Helmsman. He's actively training for this.

I was never expecting contintent busting Homestuck to be this consistent. Sollux has, like, three calcs on that level that he directly scales to now.

"New Discovery" by The Crane Wives for tHAW!Quackity

this song has very early/general thaw!quackity energy, so i'm going to analyze it

(click under the cut to see a lyrical breakdown)

“I want to stand on the edge of the water/ And see horizons stretch on forever/ I want to know that there are lands/ Not yet touched by human hands/ I want to be the one to find them.”

you can see a lot of quackity's former idealism in these lyrics, how he has such a bright outlook of what will happen in his future, how excited he is for all the opportunities he will have, and all the potential that he can harness into something great, something memorable.

on the flip side, these lyrics can also outline his hubris, as well as just the fact that quackity is incredibly ambitious, showing how he is very driven to do things that have never been done before. it doesn't matter to him that his goals are unprecedented and unrealistic for anyone, much less a Human to ever hope to actually accomplish. because he strives for more and wants to create a lasting legacy for himself, and you don't do that by just doing whatever's already been done before. you do that by shooting for the stars, by flying closer to the sun. that's how quackity tries to make himself shine amongst the others, even when it is to his own detriment in the end.

this song's tone is so light and hopeful because quackity hasn't yet fallen so far after his endeavors to get more bite him in the ass. he hasn't lost all that he's lost just yet, and it shows.

“Sometimes I feel like I'm lost in a desert/ And every dune is the same as the other/ I see my footprints in the sand/ So I know where I've been/ And these steps I take won't go to waste/ If I'm moving towards something”

not only do i really love the desert metaphor here and the way that this could also be Perfectly applied in a literal way to q's own beginning in this world, but it encapsulates quackity and his need for ambition and innovation pretty nicely too!

he wants to make something out of his life, and go down in history for something important, and this part of the song really does a good job showing that no matter what, he won't stop working as hard as he can to achieving these goals, even when he has to take it just one step at a time to get there.

“I want to believe there's something left for me/ A new discovery waiting for me”

quackity has beaten the odds and been the first or one of the firsts in a lot of things on his mission to leave a lasting legacy for himself: he was the first person to ever beat the sky gods in a game, he was the first ever person to introduce stripclubs to the contintent, he was one of the first people to be so openly Blessed by the sky gods. and that's not even mentioning how he managed to beat the odds in a lot of things, like partaking in the blood trials and passing them even despite only being a human, and figuring out his own way to make runes despite not knowing ancient. quackity is an incredibly innovative man, and he uses that fact to his advantage in helping him make these new advances and discoveries.

“I want to kindle a love that doesn't age/ Even when all the years carve lines into your face/ Tell me I will be surprised/ When I think I've memorized/ Every touch and every thought/ I want you to prove me wrong.”

although quackity is less likely to actually admit this to himself after his fiances left him, ultimately, what he’s always wanted was to love and be loved. his purpose isn't just about meaning something to the world, it's also about meaning something to someone. he wants his legacy to endure, but more than that, he wants his love to endure too. he wants both, but arguably he wants the love more, because what good is it to enjoy all the success he's had without somebody to enjoy it with?

vv link to the song vv

i say that this song is early-quackity coded as he's more scared of having that attachment after what happened with karlnapity. but deep down, he definitely still wants this with someone regardless, even if he doesn't want to let himself have it anymore. but this song is about the hope for all the new potential adventures in life, and hope is something that he had a lot more of before all the horrible things started happening to him.

and while quackity definitely still has hope and ambitions even now, he doesn't allow himself to have as many, so as to avoid unnecessary disappointment and hurt.

thanks for reading and, as always, here is where you can read thaw, so make sure to go do that if you haven't already!!

steve x a extrovertid male reader please? i onliy see shy readirs 💔💔💔💔 and am starvid by society from this contint 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 I LOV UR WORK SM BTW

Steve randle x extroverted Male reader.

(I didn’t know if you wanted it to be romantic or not but i did a bit if both)

warnings: Nothing (maybe be a few curse words 🫣)

•Steve is also quite extroverted so he loves to got parties, go out and really just be outgoing and happy

•you both are probably pretty reckless and jump around doing shit

• you both are veryyyy silly

•and even tho you both like going out sometimes you get stay in and maybe order so food and watch a movie

• even though the both of you are a lot alike you have your differences

•like steve is an ambivert which means he is a mix of extrovert and introvert

• so sometimes he just wants to stay in alone but you want to go out or do something

• sometimes people can make fun of you or get mad at you for being too loud but don’t worry steve is great at cheering you up

•And he can always help beat up anyone who makes fun of you

Anyways i hoped you liked it! Sorry it took me a while to write this lol 😭

Hmm, wonder what happens if I do this?

In which you dye your hair.

Underfell, totally not requested by a friend.

(also I haven't proofread this, sue me)

“HUMAN, WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?” Edge looked at you with a sort of endearing annoyance. You did stupid shit all the time, what did he expect?

“Ok sweetheart, normally i’m on yer side… but what the actual hell is happening in here?” Red also looks confused. You may or may not be dying your hair red and you also may or may not be failing miserably. There’s red dye all over your sink, thank god you owned the place. “I’m dying my hair dipshits, what does it look like?” You looked at them incredulously.

“WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? IT LOOKS LIKE YOU KILLED A PERSON.” Poor Edge was exacerbated, you had told them about the plan a day or so back but they seemed to not have believed you. You wanted to gauge their responses, considering you were dying your hair the same exact color as their magic… you hoped they noticed.

They probably didn’t, but oh well, too late now.

 “Do i need to help you hide a body?” Red snickers “No need to keep any skeletons in your closet.” Instead of hearing a chuckle, a bone hitting bone sound strikes your ears, rip Red. You laughed then went back to messing with your fried hair.

Y’all got into a groove of talking every so often while you screwed with your messed up hair, although both of them had a faint red dusted on their cheek bones… something had clearly been bothering both of them. You felt honored that they both felt safe enough to show ANY sort of emotion around you. 

As time went on, their blush died down and it came to you having to wash out the dye. You left the room yall had been taking in to go to the bathroom. 

Warn water washed over you, like a comforting blanket. You wished they knew, you hoped they noticed. You had been crushing on the boyos for a while, but had a strange feeling that they don't necessarily like you back. They came from a dangerous society, feelings weren't a good thing for them so you fully understand them not wanting to have romantic feelings for anyone, if that was the case.

Hair washed, you stood in front of the mirror, faint talking in the background (well as faint as it could be given how loud Edge was). Was this a bad idea? Eh well it looked good, pretty/handsome. The bright red color really went well with your skin tone and complemented your eye color splendidly. So even if the skeletons didn't care, at least it looked cool. 

“Ya think we should say som’thin? Cause you gotta admit they look hot.” That sentence caught your attention, who were they talking about? A slight tinge of jealousy pinched at your gut, but also a little bit of hope at the thought they really did notice the hair change. 

Now the other thing that caught you off guard was Edge, was he whispering? “You Really Think They Did It For Us? I, The Great And Powerful Edge, Obviously Get Special Treatment But This Is A Little Beyond What I Imagined.” He sounds… off. 

You pull out a hair dryer to make your hair look even better, definitely not to show off to them or anything…

After your hair is nice and dry, you walk out into the living room where the skeletons currently reside. 

Their eyelights shrunk.

Red pulled up his hood and sunk back into the couch, and Edge just stared, both with a little bit of faint red on their faces. 

Edge’s expression changed to one of general annoyance to one of adoration. What the hell was happening, did they notice?

“Whaaaaat? Does it look bad or something?” You did a little twirl and fluffed up your hair. Now normally you would actively tease them but now you were just super confused.

“Oh fuck you.” Red muttered, continting to pull down his hood over his face, his eyelights from what you can tell are also a weird shape. Hm, you wonder why. 

“DARLING-” WHAT? Since when did Edge call you darling????? Your heartbeat sped up significantly as he continued to speak. “-WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO DYE YOUR HAIR THIS COLOR?” He cocked a brow at you, and with a slight smile he crossed his arms. 

“Uh, it's a pretty color-” “yer lying.” Red cut you off. His soul shaped eyelights swelled up as he took off his hood and looked at you, he soon after stood and approached you.

“UH UH UH-” You panicked and looked around frantically. You did want them to notice the color change for sure, but you were expecting a small ‘ oh hey they look good’ not a ‘darling’ reaction. “Well I mean uh- I'm not lying about it being a pretty color?” You tried to curve his actuation by beating around the bush, but by this point your face was a brighter red than your hair.

“Sweetheart-” he practically purred as Edge also stood up and approached you, as Red got closer, you backed up until you were against a wall. The heat in your face was starting to get uncomfortable, but the hope and happiness you also felt was out-powering that. “-come’on, tell us ta truth. That hair looks very similar to our magic, we ain't stupid.” 

Whelp.

Now you're cornered by both the skeletones you had massive crushes on. “Stars, fine yeah maybe.” The stutter that left your mouth shocked even yourself, you almost never got shy over basic bullshit flirting like this, why is that changing now? It doesn't actually mean anything right?

“MAYBE WHAT, DARLING?” Edge had a hungry smile as he also purred out his words. “Fuck you, both of you. I hope both of you break your arms.” You said, attempting to redeem yourself. 

“HMMMM.” The taller brother hums, getting dangerously close to your face. Your lips part without you even meaning to. 

Edge, taking notice of this, gently grabs your face. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll actually kiss you.

“OH DARLING, YOU REALLY ARE BLIND.” he smiles, then pulls away. Red also backs up slightly, leaving you even more of a mess than you were before. They both look at eachother and nod, like they knew something you didn't.

 “BE READY AT 7 SHARP.” Edge smiles, and takes his leave, motioning for Red to follow. “Don't worry sweetheart, we’ll take good care of ya. You clearly don't know what you've done do you?” He smiles, flashing his golden tooth and follows Edge out of your house.

seeing popular blogs on here praise the barricade brigade for streaming or defend them (because ‘my friends simply would not do those things that like 700 people across the globe have complained about them doing because I know them personally, so’) is just like

this fandom is pretty amazing. like my expectations are on the ground and people will just roll up their 50 setlists into little shovels and dig under them. imagine being the kind of clout chasing brats who fight for barrier every night at every show in a huge tour so that other people who get that opportunity once have a lesser opportunity, being nasty, physically aggressive, ableist dicks about it to the point where you reduce multiple people to tears and hundreds of strangers across several contintents are angry with you, and THEN that’s not good enough you wanna try to gaslight them as well. like ‘no babes, that didn’t happen. to any of you. we’re all so nice and you’re literally ALL liars. okay thx! xo’. like a high school bully fucked a clown and had the world’s specialist brigade of babies, jesus

im probally going to restart on this it did not turn out very good and its at a point where ive lose motivation the more i look at it but heres the dragon contintent where im leaving it

when i remake it i plan to put each kingdom with sme info about them and their queens (or in the case of one of the "wing claw" islands, lack thereof) one major thing i will change is either less islands on the tail or add more in the lake because the lake has a lot of islands(some natrual and some dragon-made) but theres technically more than shown the ones shown are just the largest/ most important islands (the only one with lines on it being the shallowwing palace) i should aslo had a middle area between the icey area and the desert, a place where neither icewings or sandwings really live (for the most part, due to its tempuratures being to hot or too cold for either tribe to tolerate)

Tina: "What's that smell? Did you bring in more evergreens to decorate the house with?"

Caroline: "Yes. John, in fact, did bring in greeney..."

Tina: "Haha, from the bark smell it's as if you'd toted in a whole tree!"

Caroline: "Explain yourself, John!!! What's a tree doing in my house?!"

John: "It's a custom... from contintal europe. Somewhere on the old continent anyway."

John: "And they hang toys and sweets into the tree. You can reach into the tree and snack right out of it."

Caroline: "You won't see me do that! I'm not a squirrel!"

Emma: "I think it's nice. Like a may pole in winter."

John's Geek trait in action. Of course he'd know about obscure lore like indoor Christmas trees.

Vanya is Renee’s twin sister. Unlike other soulknife rogues, they could only establish a psychic link between themselves, but this connection could span a whole contintent. This ensured that no matter the distance, the twins could rely on each other. One day, Vanya was highered by a noble by the name of Amer Singh. She was asked to head to the citadel alone, but the twins didn’t worry as their psychic link would help alert the other if one was in trouble. Renee continued to do guild jobs as usual when one day, her sister stopped responding. It’s been 5 years of radio silence from Vanya, but Renee is determined to find answers
