Walkable cities are so charming , its nice to be able to meet everyone
It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.
how a normal person numbers the planets:
how an ABSOLUTE MADMAN does it:
So a number of people in the reblogs have asked if these numbers are official or how this was my conclusion. They’re not official, to be clear, they’re my conclusions based on the clues Tamsyn Muir wrote into Gideon the Ninth, and my read on Muir’s sense of humor. To go in order (and to be clear only going off the first book because I’m not fully caught up with the whole series)-
1st House - Earth: Big blue planet, big blue skies, big blue ocean, cradle of humanity yadda yadda yadda.
2nd House - Mars: They’re the soldiers. Mars is the god of war in Roman myth.
3rd House - Neptune: Apart from “Tridentarius” the reference to the trident wielded by Neptune, god of the ocean in Roman myth, Ianthe was a sea nymph and a daughter of Oceanus in Greek myth. The Third House reps also do a lot of swimming.
4th House - Saturn: Neighbors to the 5th. They wear lots of piercings. In other words they have a lot of flashy rings.
5th House - Jupiter: Magnus is a very humorous fellow, very jovial. Jupiter, our largest gas giant, is the largest Jovian planet in the solar system. Magnus means “greatest.”
6th House - Mercury: House built near the polar caps of a world so close to the sun that “exposure to the light side would melt the House clean away.” Mercury’s light side can reach 800f (430c) which can melt metals.
7th House - Venus: Dulcinea wears seafoam green. Aphrodite, Venus in Roman myth, was born from sea foam. At a place in Greek myth called Cythera.
8th House - Uranus: Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you want to tell Silas Octakiseron to “shove it up your ass.”
9th House - Pluto: God of the Underworld, full of dead. Also per Silas, shouldn’t have been a real House, like the argument over Pluto being a real planet.
how a normal person numbers the planets:
how an ABSOLUTE MADMAN does it:
Fun fact! Did you know Pluto has an elliptical orbit which, if you viewed the solar system from a top-down perspective, sometimes takes it between Neptune and Uranus?
And this irregularity is part of why Pluto's status as a planet is subject to such contention!
Imagine a version of Mass Effect where the Reapers never spoke.
No Sovereign, no Harbinger, not even a Saren or TIM, or the Leviathans.
Imagine a version of Mass Effect where Shepard's investigation of these weird historical records of dead civilizations and "reapers" was one day interrupted by a legion of angry mechasquids sailing into known space, doing indiscriminate mass murders and seizing control of the FTL mechanisms, and there is just. no explanation. No seeming rhyme or reason.
Maybe such a plot wouldn't have worked in Mass Effect (I would truly lament a version of ME without Sovereign) but by god Volition made it work for the Freespace games.
Part of that is undoubtedly because we never got a proper conclusion to the series, thus leaving the true motives of the alien Shivans down to speculation and guesswork. But for what we got, good god they made for a terrifying enemy.
FREESPACE FANART? AND NOT OF THE SHIPS!?
YEAH. IT EXISTS. BECAUSE I MADE IT EXIST. BECAUSE IF I DON'T APPARENTLY NOBODY ELSE WILL.
*Ahem*
Anyway. Remember when I complained about how hard it was to find references for Bloodborne's Amygdala? Never would've complained if I'd known how hard it would be to find references for these little bastards who get precisely 15 total seconds of screen time jumping around a darkly lit room in a cutscene powered by 1998 CG animation technology.
WIPs and some extra stuff can be found at my ArtStation: CS_Leko (Alternately, you can just search "Freespace" on there, and this will be one of the 5 things that show up.)
And YES, I AM considering using this model to remake those derpy Freespace comics I posted on DeviantART back in 2009/10.
Deeply honored to have been tasked with illustrating the cover for @ff9zine charity zine! This game is wildly important to myself and so many others, and to draw the whole squad for such a special project was totally surreal! I was in the midst of some really heavy stuff while making this piece, but it helped to pour myself into something so intensely.
i'll come up with a name for her :)

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow
