The largest known star, UY Scuti, is around 1,700 times the size of our Sun. If you could replace the Sun with UY Scuti, it would extend far beyond the orbit of Jupiter. It is fascinating to think about the scale of space. And yet, UY Scuti is not the most massive star; it’s simply the largest in terms of volume. The actual mass of the star is estimated to be only 30 times that of the Sun, which is relatively small for such a large star.
Also, in case you’re wondering, it’s located in the constellation of Scutum, around 9,500 light years away. So, even if we had the technology to travel at the speed of light, it would take us nearly 10,000 years to get there. That’s about 1,000 lifetimes.
I thought that was interesting.
tbh with all this chaotic back and forth I think you and Will should just say ‘fuck it’s and get together.
You’d at least make a pretty couple.
I am unsure whether this was meant as a joke or a serious proposition. If it was a joke, I have to admit—
it was actually quite funny.
You do not understand me. You pity me.
Being one of his patients, have you noticed anything odd about Hannibal Lecter ?
About Dr. Lecter ? No, I haven’t.
I haven’t been his patient for long, sometimes I talk to Franklyn in the waiting room. He usually talks a lot but he’s very polite and listens to me when I tell him about my interests.
However, I haven’t seen Franklyn in a while.
Beth lied to me.
She lied about her parents. About everything.
She knew what she was doing. She knew all along and she still let me believe it was all me. But she was the liar all along!.
I don’t even know what’s real anymore. I can’t think. I can’t breathe.
Everything hurts and I just want it to stop..
I hate her. I wish I never met her.
I’m not sure if there’s anything being hidden. I’d like to think there isn’t. I trust Abigail—she’s my friend.
I don’t feel strongly one way or the other about Dr. Lecter. He’s a good psychiatrist. My feelings don’t really change what’s real, though. Maybe you should ask Dr. Lecter about it yourself. You seem like you’d be good at that.
Also I’m not sure what you mean by ‘delicate elegance.’..I don’t focus on appearance, just the practical aspects of things. I suppose if you’re referring to my manner?, I do try my best to remain composed.
I like Botticelli‘s art though.
Thank you for the compliment, Nigel
Ți-e drag rău Will, nu-i așa? Ai grijă pe lângă pe lângă psihiatrul ăla, totuși. Trec multe zvonuri despre el
(Ooc: translation because most services don't do it well: Will's dear to you, eh? Be careful around that psychiatrist, though. Many rumours flying around him)
Știu foarte bine... Dar îți mulțumesc.
I do actually own two!.
A ‘Meade Polaris 70mm Refractor‘ that my father previously owned and a ‘Celestron NexStar 8SE’ that I bought myself.
Hello, Adam. I was wondering if you have a favorite flower or plant or a favorite animal?
-Duncan.
Good evening Duncan!.
I do have a favorite animal.
Raccoons. Definitely raccoons. They’re highly intelligent, their problem-solving skills are impressive, and they have these incredibly dexterous little hands. Did you know that they can remember solutions to tasks for years? And they wash their food before eating it, which is both practical and oddly endearing. I often go to watch a family of raccoons at a park near me. They bring me joy.
As for plants, I think carnivorous plants are fascinating. They literally evolved to defy the usual order of things—plants aren’t supposed to consume animals, and yet, here they are. The Venus flytrap, for example, counts the number of times its trigger hairs are touched before closing, like it’s verifying the presence of prey. That kind of adaptation is remarkable. If find that they have a philosophical aspect to them.
No, not in a frightful way.
You do not come off as scary. You seem reliable, I suppose. There is something very effortlessly calming to you.
If you could assign constellations to your associates/friends what would they be and why?
I don't know much about constellations but I'd love to hear you talk about it :)

I actually spent some time thinking about this. It’s a interesting question, astronomy as a mirror for people. It’s not the first time I’ve made that comparison in my head.
So Nigel would probably be Andromeda. There’s something about Andromedas story that reminds me of him , chained and waiting, not exactly helpless, but holding back. Andromeda’s one of those constellations that’s easy to overlook unless you know where to look. But once you do, you stay looking. He’s like that. Quiet and beautiful, and much more capable than most realize. There’s distance there too. Something unspoken and mysterious. And maybe that’s part of it.
Abby is Lyra. Steady, constant sound in the background that makes everything else feel less chaotic. She’s the kind of friend that doesn’t try to change the rhythm, she plays along, and somehow makes the melody make sense. She won’t try to change but instead accept the people around her. I trust her more than I trust most people. Probably more than I know to articulate.
Duncan is definitely Ursa Major. He’s calm and grounded. One of those people you automatically listen to when they speak. Like the Big Dipper, It’s just always been there. Reliable. Big presence. Never unpleasantly overwhelming.
I see Tonny as Gemini. There is some sort of double-sided energy to him. Always talking, always bouncing between ten things at once. Sometimes it’s annoying. But he makes things feel alive. That counts for something. Very unapologetically himself.
Beth… She’d be Scorpius..I think. There was beauty, but also something sharp underneath. I thought I understood her. Maybe I didn’t. It’s hard not to associate that constellation with betrayal once you’ve been stung by someone you trusted. But I also think Scorpius is about change. You don’t walk away from it unchanged.
Lastly Hannibal , Aquarius. There’s a logic to him that i understand. The kind of person who thinks about everything three steps ahead. Our conversations are always sharp. Always interesting. We don’t need to be close emotionally to have a kind of mutual respect, and I appreciate that.
That’s how I see it right now.
That could change, maybe it won’t.
Hey guys!
I know this is probably terrible timing, but I did want to let y’all know I’ll be taking a small break
or at least I don’t anticipate it to be long. My mental health hasn’t been the best, and I’ve got a lot of medical stuff I gotta take care of rn. So sorry to let y’all down like this. I’m super grateful for you guys, and I’ll do my best to be back soon.
Note: Some good news is that I’ll still be continuing my AO3 story tho! Since I only really plan to posting once a week, I think it won’t be too much on me. I also haven’t posted the link for it on here yet ’cause I’m still working through some stuff in chapter one.
Anyway, love y’all and stay safe 🤍
Hiii Adam :3 I was wondering if you have a type? It doesn’t matter if in men or women but you can specify (if you want). I was wondering if there is anything specific you find yourself gravitating towards.
I have found that I find myself gravitating towards people somewhat older than me. I often find comfort in that.
Generally, I don’t feel like I have the experience to make out a type. I don’t find myself in control of who I end up liking.
