Oh, How Long Have I Waited For This!

This is so beautiful....truly...

Fruit Basket (2019) EP 3 Candle analogy quote~ ✨

Tohru & Yuki moment where Tohru explains to him what what kindness is based on her Mum's words and describes Yuki's kindness is like a candle 🕯️

Ah this is so beautiful!! I always wanted to see this crossover so much!! Now I can die without regr- Oh wait, No. I still need to see the Royal Wedding...

Hi! Here is my recent crossover! Ahhhh! I couldn’t help myself. Hahahaa. I was remembering my very first slash couple, and thought ‘whoa, that would be super cute!’ so here it is! It is an Owari no Seraph/Kyo Kara Moah crossover and my first part of my three blonde musketeers! Can anybody guess who the first blonde is? There is Mika, Wolfram and~ hmmm?

Hope you like it! Krul is super badass! Hahaha!

+ All have foreign *cough* best friends *cough* by their side

He’s gay, his hair is black and his name starts with “Yuu”

A little YuuRam fluff... I tried😅

Hope you enjoy and forgive my writing...

This is something I wrote on a whim...

Wolf in shades is what I need

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.

Ignore the lack of shading and colouring. I just outlined it. Someday, when I start digital art then I'll correct this. It didn't turn out that well, but it is decent- so it's fine.

Volume 15, Chapter 8:

He’s about to say something formal again so I pat his back hard without hesitation, and it gives me a feeling of reality, like “Ah—right here”. I’m here, and so is Wolfram.

“Because we’re already back.”

We’re all here, be it Conrad, Murata… or Josak.

“I can’t say for all of it, but I brought us back with my own strength.”

“Uh-huh.”

The sea breeze caresses Wolfram’s hair, and he nods his head firmly in reply, very naturally extending his hand to me, standing on the side of the port,

“Come home, everyone is waiting for you.”  

Nobody knows how things will turn out in the future, but this country will definitely change.

I follow the creaking staircase as I climb upwards, preparing to return home.

This is my attempt at illustrating Wolf extending his hand to Yuuri in this scene. I have wanted to do it for a long time, so I did. I'll get back to it and improve it someday, but for now this is it.

Yuusha Yamemasu

A wonderful work of fiction!! If I was well versed in japanese I would've devoured the light novel and manga by now. But unfortunately that is not the case. * sighs *

The plot progression is really well done. And execution is marvellous.

I am looking forward to more!

My only hope: The Yuusha doesn't fall in love with the Maou. Seriously. All the effort of making such a character would go to waste.

Episode 21 of Fruits Basket 2019 season 2

What can I say? I have no words. It was so heart wrenching, yet it held that spark of hope... It was just like Yuki's kindness- like a Candle.

We also get the insight to Akito's past. I loved that sweet scene where Shigure was comforting Akito. It was just so loving.

Yuki has always been trying to move forward and open up. To see him do that latently gives me the courage (yuki, if you get me) to follow him. I'm glad to see him move forward, and slowly but steadily open that lid.

In here, Akito says "My Yuki", I get this feeling of double meaning (as Yuki can be both the person or 'courage') and so it makes that line even more powerful. It makes me want to unravel more of their past and the mystery that lingers around Sohmas.

In all, this has now become my favourite Fruits Basket episode ever. Let's wait and see if it can be replaced in the future.
