NASA FOR PRIIIDE

NASA FOR PRIIIDE

Post on BlueSky by Rachel Lense is Professionally Curious: I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
Above Image Is A Pride Flag With Every Color Band Represented By A NASA Image. White Is Earth Clouds,

Above image is a pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER WITH HETEROCHROMIA

HERE ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES SO YOU CAN SPECIFY!!

From https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/heterochromia-iridis

Types of Heterochromia 

There are several types of heterochromia:

Complete heterochromia (heterochromia iridis)

This type means one of your irises is a different color than the other. For example, you may have one blue eye and one brown eye.

Segmental heterochromia(heterochromia iridium)

This is when different parts of one of your irises have different colors.

Central heterochromia

This type is when the outer ring of your iris is a different color from the rest.

Central heterochromia vs. hazel eyes. When you have central heterochromia, you have one distinct color around your pupil and a different color at the outer edge of your iris. But when you have hazel eyes, you have a mixture of different colors throughout the entire surface of your iris.

Acquired heterochromia

This is when you develop differently colored eyes, or eyes of different colors, after infancy.

Heterochromia hair

This is a rare condition in which you grow hair in two different distinct colors.

Aight, its MY turn!!

*cracks knuckles* ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ You and Kaeya were the adopted children of the Ragnvindr family. Unlike Kaeya, you had grown awfully close to Diluc, your adopted brother. Maybe closeness wasnt all there was? :3 ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

You and Diluc had been best friends for the longest time, well, at least, ever since you and your brother Kaeya had been adopted. Diluc was always looking out for you and watching your back. If you had a cut or a splinter, he would always be the first beside you to make sure you were okay. Kaeya on the other hand... Not so much. Kaeya firmly believed that you and Diluc were absolutely blessed with his presence, and insisted on following you both everywhere.

One early morning, while you and Diluc were working in the winery, taking inventory and ensuring things were going well, Kaeya jumped between you two and tried to get you to taste the wine with him. "KAEYA! How could you dare???" You hissed, eyes wide in disbelief at Kaeya's attempt to drink yet again. "Kaeya, if you keep bothering us as we work, this is not going to end well for you. Do not forget who owns this winery and can have you blacklisted all over Monstadt." Diluc's deep voice almost booms through the warehouse, making your heart race and cheeks tint. Kaeya groaned, clearly displeased. "Alright, alright, you've got me. I'll leave." He mumbles. Kaeya turned to look at you. "And by the way, sister o' mine, the wine you make is quite elegant when you don't act like a snob." Diluc rolled his eyes as he stood beside you, both of you watching Kaeya as he stalked out, pouting with one hand in his pocket and the other carrying the bottle of wine he wished to share. "Sometimes I wonder how you two are related... it seems the only thing you share is looks." He comments suddenly, and you look shocked. Though, he wasn't wrong. You had Kaeya's same thick blue hair and stunning eyes and tanned skin, but that was where the similarities ended. You had always been a headstrong young woman with a need to help others, while Kaeya joined the Knights simply for the sake of the thrill. You began to think long and hard about yourself and Kaeya, wondering where things had split off between the two of you.

While lost in thought, you never realized that Diluc had led you to a secluded corner to hide away with you. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Suddenly, Diluc breaks your train of thought, returning you to the present as you regain your bearings. You look around, seeing that you and Diluc are now behind a fairly large stack of wine kegs. You feel confusion contort your face as you furrow your brows, but when you return your gaze to the red-haired boy before you, he is leaning against the wall, his eyes averting your gaze as his arms cross over his chest.

You look curious, concerned even. Since when was Diluc shy?

Your own question answered itself as he drew in a deep breath.

"I'm... sorry..."

He spoke softly; his usually gruff tone missing.

"I just needed to be alone with you for a while, even if only for a minute..."

Your heart twisted with anxiety and nervousness. What was going on? Was he alright? Was he SICK??

Once again, though, he cut off your invading thoughts. "I have something I need to tell you. And, its perfectly alright if you take this in a way that is not good for us...I mean, as you know, we ARE adopted siblings and all..."

Your heart beat faster, pounding in your ears. You almost couldn't hear him as he finally spoke, his voice now that of a tiny whisper.

"I love you."

Those three words could never have even touched on the depth of your feelings as you suddenly threw your arms around his neck, meeting his lips with yours in a desperate, passionate collision. This would be the beginning of something beautiful.

Heard from @thetopazdragon that you two are buds, so I suggest a friendly competition to see who can make a better one shot-

Idea- Fem reader who is bio siblings with Kaeya but Diluc has a little huge crush on her, but since Kaeya is such a trouble maker, Diluc has to get reader alone for a bit to confess~

Will thou accept the challenge?

-Anon🐧

I shall accept this challenge, feathered foe. Let's see how my opponent fairs, if they so choose to partake in this battle-

The Mondstadt sun was blaring down on the winery as if it was trying to melt you and the boys as you were out working. The upcoming festival called for extra wine due to anticipated travelers and guests, so you and your brother came to help at the winery.

"Put the bottle down or I'll get Diluc to change the locks." You threatened your brother Kaeya as he slowly turned to see you behind him. "Heh- Sister, I was merely going to try the liquors to ensure they're best for sales." You roll your eyes and take what few steps separated you from him, then snatched the bottle from his hand.

"Outside now-" You ordered your older brother with a stern tone. "You can have this whole bottle when I think you've worked enough." You promised as you shooed him out of the cellar.

"Deal!" He gleefully exclaimed. You watched as he left to go help the winery workers pick grapes and other ingredients for the wines. "You solved that rather peacefully-" Said a voice from behind the door as soon as you had stepped out of the cellar. As you turned you saw your adopted brother, Diluc.

In all honesty, you never really saw him as a brother. He was more like a close friend that you spent most of your childhood with. He was 3 years older than you, but he never treated you like a child. He always was so kind and gentle with you as you grew up with him.

Thinking back on your younger years made you smile before you snapped yourself back to the present.

"O-oh yeah. Just figured he should be helping too." You said with a soft laugh. He looked down at you as he closed the door. "So I should change the locks, eh?" He asked, repeating your threat to Kaeya earlier. "Haha, you heard that?" You nervously looked away. "Uh, yeah- it would keep him out so he'll have to keep working." He grins with a nod. "Good idea, I'll get them changed out soon, and you go hide that bottle to keep up your end of the bargain." He says.

"Let's just keep it in the cellar for now if he won't be able to get in, yeah?" You suggest, to which he nods in agreement. "You best be off then, I believe you came to help too-" He said with a knowing smirk. "Oh right! Thanks for the reminder!" You quickly placed the bottle back in the cellar then ran to assist Adelinde in making refreshments for the hard workers who were out in the sun.

°•○♡○•°☆°•○♡○•°☆°•○♡○•°☆°•○♡○•°

Heavy leather boots thumping on the wooden floors caught your attention as you cleaned up in the kitchen. You saw Diluc carrying kegs of wine to the cellar from the day. Leaving the kitchen, you opened the door for him so he wouldn't have to stop. "Thank you." You nodded with a soft smile as you propped the door open with a nearby vase of flowers.

The sun began to set as the yellow and orange hues of the pastel sky faded into the deep hues of purple and cobalt making night set in. You rolled kegs into the cellar as Diluc lifted them unto the racks until all work was finished.

"There- That's all for today." Diluc deep voice grumbled as he stepped out of the cellar and shut the door. "Wash up and I've got some dinner for you." You say, as you dust off your hands on your shirt. "Be there in a bit." He replies as he kneels before the door with a key you haven't seen before and inserted it. "Did ya change the locks already?" You inquired.

"Of course, unlike the inefficient Knights, I get my problems solved as soon as they appear." He says as he finished locking the door and stuffing the key inside his coat pocket. You chuckled at his statement, he never liked the knights and you always found it rather funny that he was sorta like one in your eyes.

"Alright dinner then bed?" He asked.

"Dinner then bed." You agreed.

■□¤▪︎☆▪︎¤□■♤■□¤▪︎☆▪︎¤□■♤■□¤▪︎☆▪︎¤□■

"What the heck you guys?!"

You rushed inside to see a distressed Kaeya near the cellar. "They actually changed the locks on me! Can you believe that?!" You crossed your arms. "Really brother?" He froze up as he stopped his miniature tantrum and stared at you. "We had a deal, no alcohol until you've earned it. Now outside." You demanded. He left with a dejected expression.

You felt a bit bad, but you knew this was needed. Besides the festivities were to start in a few days and the wine needed to be prepared soon!

From the other room Diluc watched as you kept your brother in line. He grinned, he had feelings for you for some time but seeing you take charge like this made him fall for you all the more. He was absolutely head over heels for you, he knew he was ever since he was a teen. But he could never ask because there was always something or someone that prevented him.

Kaeya. He needed to get him out of the way for a bit.

《●○•☆•○●》《●○•☆•○●》《●○•☆•○●》

After the third days work Diluc put all the full kegs into the cellar. Lifting them onto the walls with what looked like no effort at all.

Halfway through his efforts there was a soft click. Poking his head out of the cellar he saw his brother. "Hey, gimme a hand here-" He requested, putting hi plan into motion. With a sigh Kaeya walked over and helped Diluc with the kegs. Once a full wall had been stocked they called it a night.

"Finally!" Kaeya said exasperated as he walked out of the cellar. "Hold up." Diluc called him back, making him groan in what almost sounded like actual agony. "Don't be like that- I got somethin' for ya." The redhead says as he rummages through the cellar for the bottle he had attempted to swipe a few days prior. "Please say it's not more work..." He whined. "Quite the opposite actually-" Diluc laughed as he stepped out and handed Kaeya the bottle.

Taking the bottle Kaeya grinned. "____ told you about our deal?" "Yep, and your free to go. Works almost done so you can go back home now." He said, hinting that he should leave now. Keaya nodded with a gleeful grin before walking out and heading back to Mondstadt, wine in hand and and hangover in the future.

Diluc smirked to himself. Gone off without a hitch, now with the main distraction out of the way his odds of asking you out just got way better. As he locked up the rest of the winery he finished up the day and called it a night.

The next day you arrived early as usual and let yourself inside to meet Adelinde. You assisted with morning chores, cleaning the winery, anything you could get your hands on really. Most of the vineyards had been picked clean in the days prior so you just decided to make yourself useful in other ways until you were no longer needed or until the festival had at least passed.

After an hour the tell tale sound of thumping boots sounded from down the hall. You grabbed a glass of lemonade and stepped out of the kitchen with a smile. "Morni- oh!" You cut yourself off as you saw Diluc with a bouquet of flowers in hand. "Who's the lucky girl? Or guy?" You ask, a cheeky smile curving your lips.

"That would be you, my dear." He swiftly responded, making you choke on your own spit. At the sound of your coughing to clear your throat, Adelinde peeks her head around the corner, only to disappear into the kitchen once again as Diluc nods his head for her to leave. Diluc pats your back with his freehand until you take a deep breath. "I'm sorry. What?!" You exclaimed in utter shock.

He takes the lemonade from your hand and replaces it with the bouquet as he chuckles. "The lucky girl just so happens to be you." He elaborated. "Is this a 'thank you' for helping with the winery? Because if it is, it's really not nes-" "It's not." He interrupts. "These are an... um-" He clears his throat as the situation sets in for him.

Was he really about to ask out the girl he was crushing on for the past few years? Would this be the one time he could actually get the question out? Archons, was he always this nervous? Or was this time just more intimate? No, he had to snap outta it. He was going to do this.

"These are 'I like you... Maybe even love you, flowers.'" He says, mentally kicking himself over how incredibly stupid he sounded compared to his usual composed self. You chuckled softly, fiddling with the petals on one of the sunflowers. "You think you love me?" You ask as a blush sets itself into your cheeks and you shift your weight from foot to foot.

He gulps as hit mouth begins to feel dry. With a nod he clears his throat once more. "I was hoping I could mayhaps take you on a date?" He offers. He pulls his hands behind his back as he pulls his gloves off. The anxiety he felt made his hands sweat, and the gloves made things much worse. He pulled them off and slipped them into his pockets as he awaited your response anxiously.

"I like you too-" You began. YES! He thought. You had accepted his advances. "But let me think about the date part." NO! "But of course, about when can I expect an answer?" He asked, trying his best to not sound desperate. "By the end of the day, I promise." You replied. "I can do that." He said, lying through his teeth.

The day went on and Diluc practically tortured himself as he worked. Thinking or the many, many scenarios of how you could answer him. Would you agree and go out with him? Would you say no and never speak to him again? Would things become awkward between the two of you? He sighed as he continued filling another keg.

The hours felt like decades but by the time it was finally dusk, Diluc raced to the winery to meet with you and to have your answer.

Upon his arrival he saw you sitting at the table with dinner, a new glass vase with his bouquet settled in the center. "Hello there, Adelinde and I got dinner ready." You said as you welcomed him inside. He closed the door behind himself and came to sit at the table where his plate was set across from yours. "So..." He wanted his answer immediately, but he didn't want to seem rude and just demand it outright.

Thankfully, you knew Diluc, and you knew him well. "You must want to know my answer." You say as you look down at your plate with a grin, cutting your food before taking a bite. "Ah, yes." He replies, greatfull you knew what was on his mind.

You looked up at him with a soft smile and pulled on of the flowers from the vase. "Diluc, I honestly thought these flowers would've been for someone else. But I did say that whoever they were for would be lucky, didn't I?" You asked. Only answering his query with another. He nods. "Well yes." He responds. "Then I guess we'll both be lucky."

Taking the flower in your hand you place it in his hair so it gently rests on his ear. He looks at you with a pinkish hue to his cheeks. "Does this mean?" He asked, to which to nodded. Without a second thought he gets up and jumps the table.

Within seconds his hands were on your waist as his lips met yours, making you gasp in surprise. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that!" He says with an exasperated sigh. Your face was full-on red before you reached up on your tip toes and kissed his cheek. "So about that date?" You asked.

"It'll be the best date you've ever been on sweetheart. How does a vacation to Wangshu Inn sound?" He asks, knowing you've always wanted to visit. You look up at him with the brightest smile he's ever seen, which he takes as his answer. "I'll book a reservation as soon as possible!"
