OMG, My Two Favorite Things Together!  So Pretty And Detailed, Just Like The Original.  Otoyomegatari

i always seem to follow all the nice people/ nice parts of the fandom

the bad parts of the fandom seem like some far off land that i only hear about through folklore and the tales of swarthy fishermen

#SupernovaSunday

Supernovae are stellar explosions that are so powerful they briefly outshine entire galaxies, radiating as much energy as the Sun or any ordinary star is expected to emit over its entire life span

The Universe is so vast that it is estimated that a star explodes every second. In a galaxy the size of our Milky Way, a star will go supernova every 50 years on average.

A star can go supernova in one of two ways: 

Type I supernova: star accumulates matter from a nearby neighbor until a runaway nuclear reaction ignites. 

Type II supernova: star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.

Supernovae play a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe. When the star explodes, it shoots elements and debris into space. Many of the elements we find here on Earth, including life, are made in the core of stars. These elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe.

You are a villain famous for “killing” heroes. In reality, heroes come to you to fake their deaths.

I refuse to seek out Ryan Reynolds' Tumblr account. If it has any value it will find it's way into my dash naturally. This is how the Tumblr ecosystem is meant to work.

My dash is exploding with Hobbit feels and I don't get to see it until Monday.

Plus one more...
