[O]nce you get beyond the Earth, the lines we’ve drawn between us are impossible to see. Nationalism may have propelled us into space, but when astronauts turned around and photographed the planet from the moon, the picture they captured, “Earthrise,” spurred an environmental movement: a singular, small blue-green ball that we all have to share for better or worse. There’s even a term for a cognitive shift that happens when people go to space: the overview effect, a certain state of awe that can alter the way people fundamentally perceive themselves, their connection to others, and the larger world. Space opera is imbued with this spirit.

Sigyn and Loki: Acid Rain Character detail below

Yay, it's finally done! I've been working this piece on and off for a long time (as in years). I'm considering putting it in my portfolio, though I'm not sure if it's too fanart-y for that. My portfolio site is through Tumblr, by the way, so maybe you'll see this one again.😅

Special thanks to the artists on Unsplash for providing my texture layers and some help with the background too!

Fun fact: there is actually a sceintfically perfect day to listen to the Small Victories Season 2 Premiere.

After much testing and a few poorly timed explosions it was discovered that any day that ends in -Y is the astronomically perfect day to listen to our new episode.

Do with that what you will.

they don’t tell you this but in civilization 6 it’s very fun to declare war when you have access to giant death robots and your enemies don’t
