🐹

(I used to be extremely intimidated by you but you probably couldn't tell because I'd see you on my dash and then just Never Interact. Not sure what actually changed but here we are 😂)

Was it the nickname effect? Apparently that cures most apprehensions.

Your opinion on pineapple. Does it belong on pizza?

¡Por supuesto!

I am pro-pineapple. In yogurt, in salsa, on pizza in fruit salad, in agua fresca, on its own..I LOVE pineapple. Mango is number one, but pineapple is a close second.

And my go to pizza order is pepperoni and pineapple, topped with hot sauce.

send me something and I'll give you my opinion

☕️ + black nail polish (ehehehehe)

short answer: 10/10 best nail polish color

long answer: it's elegant. maybe brought into trend by emos who leaned too far into melancholia and goths with dubious modesty, but these days, it's elegant. it goes with everything (throwback to the time I painted my nails candy apple red to match one specific dress and greatly regretted it days later because the majority of my clothes were and still are green), is understated, doesn't necessarily draw attention. it's just very nice. you can wear black nail polish with jeans and a t shirt, or with a formal dress. it's versatile and I consider it elegant. also I'm wannabe punk/emo and wear mostly black clothes these days, so there's that too. I just think it's neat!

Your opinion on giving the clones bjs 🤭

YOU KNOW I LOOOOOOVE THEM. and specifically because I really think it would fucking SEND them. They’d lose their absolute minds in the best way. And they deserve to be treated with that 🥰😘

"your opinion on ______" can be a blog, a trend, a meme, an object, a person.

WAIT what are your thoughts on the movie A Monster in Paris? bc i'm watching it right now and the soundtrack is lit, I know you love soundtracks, and maybe it's not 100% your fav genre but the songs are sooo so pretty :)

WAIT OK IM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WORK RN BUT I NEED TO ANSWER THIS IMMEDIATELY

BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER HEARD OF THIS MOVIE

so when i was younger, i used to scroll through netflix in the mornings looking for things to watch. and at the time, netflix had a lot of random shit. a lot more obscure international things. i don't remember most of them tbh.

anyway, one day i came across a monster in paris. and i think i watched it 2 or 3 times total but this was years and years ago so i remember virtually nothing about it beyond the basic plot. but maybe i'll have to watch it again nowww.

especially if you like it <3

🤞 !

Put “🤞” in my askbox, and I will tell you how my muse feels about your muse

"Oh! Oikawa-san?"

"I think he's alright! He seems like a fun boy, I believe we could have a lot of fun if we got the chance to hang out sometimes. Maybe when he's not too busy with studying chemistry!"

Hiiiiii!! Hmm…. Your opinion on wearing socks in bed?

Hi!! Thank you for sending me an ask - I really appreciate it 🥰💗

Considering I’m lying in bed rn with socks on, I don’t have a problem with it! I like socks the majority of the time, but if I’m too warm or feeling too restricted I’ll definitely take them off.

ask my opinions on anything

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.

It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!

But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!

The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.

It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?

Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.

Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.

Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.

Lotta problems with lens caps.

For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.

This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:

However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.

top five villain tropes! (--@space-writes)

Is just crazy but also compelling. Does the most. Is ridiculous. Makes some good speeches. Enjoyable to watch at work. Can't get behind their motivations but it makes for a wild ride! (Thanos from The Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War)

Full capable of redemption, maybe even is a few times. Never stops being terrifying. Self-pity parties->humility and sacrifice. Is generally angry. Has Soft Spots™️. Could never forgive them in the real world but love them in theirs. (Klaus Mikaelson from The Originals)

Flamboyant and dramatic. Obviously terrible. You hate them! You hate them! But also you're having a good time. (Humperdink from The Princess Bride)

Genuine malevolent evil that is not to be messed with. We know what happens when you mess with it. The effects are seen more than the actual villain, but it's powerful enough. (Sauron/the one ring)

Stereotypical "it's my birthright!" villain who we gradually get to know as a real person and see how they arrived at the place where we first met them. A circular journey with so much growth. (The Winter King, tCotIG)

Not ranked because I can't pick one as my top favorite.

[rae-gar-targaryen]

It's me. I'm something.

You're also my favorite. My day one bae. I love you like I love soup. 💜🌿

Thanks to artfight, I’ve finally finished a detailed, official dbhc cub reference! :D

(I’ve put his Artifight description below the cut, which has a more detailed explanation of his timeline, lore, and aesthetics! >:3)

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  OVERVIEW ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Name: C.B.F.N.4000 (Cub) Pronouns: He/Him Species: Android Height: 5’9’’ Associated Visual Themes: vex, ghosts, explosions, mischief, scientist aesthetic, potions, potionmaking, sleepy/tired aesthetic, conspiracies

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  ABOUT ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

CBFN4000 is an au version of MCYT Hermitcraft’s Cubfan, set in my DBHC (or Detroit Become Hermitcraft) AU! This au is inspired by the 2018 game Detroit Become Human, but not because it really has anything to do with DBH—I simply yoinked the android mechanics and incorporated them into the world of Hermitcraft. It began as a S8 au, and has roughly followed the hermitcraft timeline up to the present! 

Cub was the last android made during Season 8. While many of the hermit androids were made at the beginning of season 8 and a few were made for season 9, Cub was finished and activated mid-late Season 8, around the time when Hermits started noticing the Big Moon. Cub’s model ended up being a sloppy experiment in deviation, as Doc suggested they try to transfer deviancy to an android upon activation to try and avoid traumatic situations that might cause an android to deviate violently or upsettingly, such as Etho’s, Tango’s, or Mumbo’s experiences. While this went relatively well initially, it clearly wasn’t very thoroughly thought out, as Xisuma (who is normally so adamant and detail-oriented when it comes to assuring the androids’ safety with experiments like this) wasn’t truly himself due to external manipulation and mostly left a relatively young-deviant Doc to carry out the project himself. 

Cub, though adjusting to sentience rather well at first, very quickly became wrapped up in the Big Moon happenings on the server, new personality and inexperience to emotions like fear and ignorance completely overwhelming his young system. He became obsessive over the implications and consequences of the Season 8 Moon Apocalypse, joining the Mooners and spreading his conspiracy theories religiously throughout the server as he descended into madness. The insanity was like a virus to his programming, pervasive and all-engulfing, and Cub’s final attempt to free himself from the Moon’s impact with the Earth—to launch himself on a llama into space via potion-powered TNT(insane btw)— left his hands and feet singed and cracked to ruin.

The experiment, considered a horrific failure by a deeply shameful—and more awake—S9 Xisuma, left Doc and Xisuma with the decision to reset him for the new season, and they ended up pairing him with a hermit like they had done with the other androids until they had found deviancy enough to pursue their own projects. So, at the start of season 9 and fresh after a reset, Cub was paired with Scar. Naturally, because Scar is… Scar, Cub deviated almost instantly after being given to him, and very quickly adopted the iconic lazy, stoic, amused attributes normally associated with Cubfan. Scar’s tendency towards mischief and general shenanigans grew instantly on Cub, and the two were an immediate inseparable pair. So much so that when Scar began rambling one day about his Season 5 Hermitcraft Shenanigans (where deals with the Vex may or may not have been involved), Cub immediately stated he was interested in being in on it. Whatever “it” means. It’s unclear if Cub also made a deal with the vex or became connected to them in some other way, but… well, he got Doc’s help to trick out his eyes, hair, and back to best fit the part. Scar is very jealous that he can't magically make himself have the same features to match.

Cub is closest with Scar, but he gets along just as well with any of the other hermits! He’s close with Jevin and many of the other redstoners like Etho and Doc, who are the other two androids I’ve put on artfight!

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  EXTRAS ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Cub's eyes can light up in the dark, and he’s the only android who has edited his programming so that the default state of his LED is white, not blue. It still will go yellow and red if his processors are working particularly hard, but he’s replaced the blue setting on his LED with white to better match the Vex vibe. Cub has all of the vibes of a fae. If that’s anything <3
