Greta’s Music Box Is Real!

Loki is like "When will they learn?"

I’m gonna have to ask you to turn that prisoner over to me.

Give our JC some hope.😂🤣

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. If you’re not a BTS stan then you will be after watching this.

JingYi being JingYi... (I almost mistook him for WuXian...)

Here’s your chance to steal Lan clan headbands╭( ･ㅂ･)و 

P1: I wanted to see XiChen big bro with his hair down…

P2: When out traveling, SiZhui seems like the responsible one in charge of waking everyone up on time. JingYi…could get out of bed on time, but he won’t be fully awake XD

* dead *

Seems sensei loves killing Connie as much as she loves killing us with these!

It happens to everyone 2 and Shibuya’s

To anyone out there wondering: part 2 of ”It happens to everyone” (Which Takabayashi sensei wrote in English as the title being: “It comes equally to everyone”- sensei’s English is not good, she made a mess with other titles too) and a short “Shibuyas” (from the Winter 2019 doujinshi) is translated and available on Baka-tsuki;  doujinshi section. Thank you to the translator!  Go read if you haven’t!

And now, to the spoilers! (under the cut)

I am in love with the ending song!

I tried stitching together the ending sequence

See the Closest Ever Images of the Sun

Solar Orbiter just released its first scientific data — including the closest images ever taken of the Sun.

Launched on February 9, 2020, Solar Orbiter is a collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, designed to study the Sun up close. Solar Orbiter completed its first close pass of the Sun on June 15, flying within 48 million miles of the Sun’s surface.

This is already closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft has taken pictures (our Parker Solar Probe mission has flown closer, but it doesn’t take pictures of the Sun). And over the next seven years, Solar Orbiter will inch even closer to the Sun while tilting its orbit above the plane of the planets, to peek at the Sun’s north and south poles, which have never been imaged before.

Here’s some of what Solar Orbiter has seen so far.

The Sun up close

Solar Orbiter’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager, or EUI, sees the Sun in wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light that are invisible to our eyes.

EUI captured images showing “campfires” dotting the Sun. These miniature bright spots are over a million times smaller than normal solar flares. They may be the nanoflares, or tiny explosions, long thought to help heat the Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona, to its temperature 300 times hotter than the Sun’s surface. It will take more data to know for sure, but one thing’s certain: In EUI’s images, these campfires are all over the Sun.

The Polar and Helioseismic Imager, or PHI, maps the Sun’s magnetic field in a variety of ways. These images show several of the measurements PHI makes, including the magnetic field strength and direction and the speed of flow of solar material.

PHI will have its heyday later in the mission, as Solar Orbiter gradually tilts its orbit to 24 degrees above the plane of the planets, giving it a never-before-seen view of the poles. But its first images reveal the busy magnetic field on the solar surface.

Studying space

Solar Orbiter’s instruments don’t just focus on the Sun itself — it also carries instruments that study the space around the Sun and surrounding the spacecraft.

The Solar and Heliospheric Imager, or SoloHi, looks out the side of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft to see the solar wind, dust, and cosmic rays that fill the space between the Sun and the planets. SoloHi captured the relatively faint light reflecting off interplanetary dust known as the zodiacal light, the bright blob of light in the right of the image. Compared to the Sun, the zodiacal light is extremely dim – to see it, SoloHi had to reduce incoming sunlight by a trillion times. The straight bright feature on the very edge of the image is a baffle illuminated by reflections from the spacecraft’s solar array.

This first data release highlights Solar Orbiter’s images, but its in situ instruments also revealed some of their first measurements. The Solar Wind Analyser, or SWA instrument, made the first dedicated measurements of heavy ions — carbon, oxygen, silicon, and iron — in the solar wind from the inner heliosphere.

Oh, how long have I waited for this!

When you’re 110 episodes in and your OTP finally hugs for the first time

Your LuoBingHe is sooo cute!

I know you probably meant my design of kid LBH…. XD (Thanks~)

I'll be satisfied as long as I see the Royal Wedding...

But, yeah. Takabayashi-sensei left us with a pretty bad cliffhanger because it makes you too curious and you want to tie all the loose ends. It's sad that she had to scrap such a wonderful ending because, even though it is sad and dark, it was a brilliant idea. And, I was already looking forward to the dark side of MaruMa that T-sensei slowly kept on adding- like the whole Seisakoku arc, the whole Darco arc. And how can we forget that face off between Yuuri and Wolfram! The way their relationship progresses. Conrart's choices and Shinou's interventions.

That cliffhanger just goes to show the complexities of Wolfram's character even more. Yuuri is starting to somewhat merge with his Ue-sama side (sort of? do I remember it correctly?).

Shinou just makes me question whether he is a good guy? or bad guy? or just a psychotic guy cause he stayed in his little dimension for so long? idk. And how will Murata react to Shinou's involvement?

There are so many of these aspects, and I feel that a darker tone to these is more interesting. MaruMa is not just a gag novel. It is a lot more than that. Takabayashi sensei has created a wonderful, mind boggling world with such interesting and unique characters.

It's a shame she had to scrap that idea- a lot of it was also due to the anime using the 'going to Earth' aspect of it, I'm not blaming anyone here(Sensei you don't have to care about those things, please follow what you want!)- but I hope she'd come up with an even better one.

Till then, I have to thank all the people involved for all the 17 vols of the novel, the doujinshis, the short stories, the drama cds and all the other things MaruMa related.

P.S: We need a readaptation of the novels as an anime, and this time more properly. I don't know what people have against Wolf to morph his character to how he is portrayed in the anime- and Yuuri, and everyone else. Their character developments are completely disregarded and just their initial ones are kept.

Anyway, I feel like I talked a lot. This event was truly amazing and I enjoyed it a lot- even though I couldn't contribute much to it.

Let's keep loving MaruMa like this!

20th Anniversary MA Event - Fourth Week Activity From November 23 to November 30 Tuesday - Theories about the future of the plot in the novels

Hello everyone,

First I apologize because this post is really delayed, my attempt at scheduling something beforehand failed miserably.

Today I encourage you to share your theories about the future of the novels! Please go crazy if you want, anything you may want to write about this is welcome. Do art too if that’s your cup of tea~

I would also like to feature an old discussion where @marumafan talks about this topic here. She has really awesome posts about the series in general so you can dig a little bit more in her blog too if you want.

And I’ll share my personal view under the cut at the end of the post as my entry for today ^^

Remember to tag your posts with #MAnniversary 2020 and #MA Event This is the link to the main post
