Not All Venom Fans Are Monster Fuckers Some Of Us Are Just Aroace Disasters Who Like The Idea Of A Platonic

Not all venom fans are monster fuckers 😞 some of us are just aroace disasters who like the idea of a platonic soulmate who likes to murder annoying people for you, is that so bad?

More Gems (Ametrine, Morganite, Chrysocholla, Onyx, Dalmatian Stone Jasper, Tiger's Eye, Angelite, and Hauyne)

Mars Rovers (plus little helicopter Ingenuity)

I recently saw a few things about robotics and how we treat them both in the real world and in fiction, along with the fact we named the Mars Rovers.

Sure, robots are programmed and can't "feel" in a typical way, but not all humans can process things all the same either. So why deny that our creations can't feel either? Opportunity's last message makes me weep every time I look at it.

For now, I hope all our little robot companions up on Mars can eventually come home.

Lich and their Planets (PSR B1257+12 system)

The Pulsar, Lich, along with their planets, Draugr, Poltergeist, and Phobetor, are located 2,300 light-years away from the Sun in the Virgo Constellation. Lich was discovered on February 9, 1990, Poltergeist and Phobetor on January 22, 1992, and Draugr on April 22, 1994.

Poltergeist, Draugr, and Phobetor were one of the first exoplanets discovered, while Lich was the first pulsar found to have planets.

~~~Notes Under the Cut~~~

I find Lich's system quite fascinating! Being a pulsar, Lich is undead. The original star is gone, now only its fast spinning core remains. And the planets are slowly fading in a sense. Draugr is the closest and Poltergeist is second, being even closer to Lich than Mercury is to our sun.

Lich: I didn't quite know what I wanted to do at first. They are an undead creature and are typically wizards, but I wondered what one would look like as a fighter from DnD or a knight.

I don't know the relationship between Lich and his planets here. I imagine he's either their father or simply a protector of them.

Draugr: They're a Viking! I wanted to draw them as androgynous as many warriors in Nordic Cultures had men and women. I drew them as more "fresh" as Draugr wasn't discovered until much later compared to the rest. They are undead, but only the cataracts and scars are seen as of now.

Poltergeist: I'm going to be honest, she's inspired by the little girl from 1982's Poltergeist. Although I did add a little bit of Wendy Darling and myself to her

Phobetor: What can I say? I like the game Hades. I kinda wanted to round up the quartet with Phobetor but still add his own flair. The thing is, Phobetor isn't undead. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Phobetor is one of the sons of Somnus (or Hypnos in Greek Myth). While he lives in the Underworld, he technically isn't dead like how Hades and Nyx aren't dead.

That is all.

Sun and Moon

Just a little something I wanted to make since there will be a total solar eclipse in the U.S. on April 8th.

Happy Ramadan!

I know I'm a bit late, but Ramadan isn't over yet, and I wanted to make something for it. I'm not a religious person, but I love learning about religions and cultures around the world.

Everyone has their own place in the world and I think that's beautiful. Everything that makes the world unique and interesting is beautiful in my eyes.

Also, because of all those in Palestine, putting my character Abel feels more important than ever as he has prosthetics. Kids and adults alike have lived but have lost limbs (along with the lives of those close to them).

I know my message will likely never reach them, but in case it does somehow, you are doing amazing. Even though you have lost many things, you are strong and amazing and beautiful. While I might not ever meet you, the fact you are alive is something to celebrate. And, personally, I think prosthetics are badass.
