OH, that's fantastic! Gypsy Vanner is the perfect name, too. I adore following NASA and other space-related social media. I'm a little obsessed with Jupiter.
I keep thinking that planet would be awesome to write about. Maybe someone will prompt me for it. That would be a great place to have space aliens flying along grazing the castoff particles.
Wowsers... Imagine if one of those giant tailed planets has a smaller habitable one, or 'super-moon' orbiting it... with this HUGE banner flaring across the sky...
Even more awesome. I think a supermoon is quite plausible, as Jovian planets often have big moons that might sustain life. If the moon's orbit takes it through that tail, the effects on the biosphere could be fascinating. It might be ruinous to life -- or like plate tectonics, a helpful variation.
Yes...my first thought was that the G word would get you dogpiled if this was posted on Tumblr! There are people literally censoring a canonical character name over there for using it.
Tumblr is notorious for being a blizzard of special snowflakes. If that's their idea of a good time, they're welcome to it. That's why I prefer venues like Dreamwidth with robust moderation tools.
I agree. I've always preferred Dreamwidth and I'm heartened to see more people joining/returning to the site since the "purge" began at Tumblr. The last year or so has seen a rise in censorship and attempted censorship on the platform, by various people, and I'd honestly rather be here where people do as you do; post what you want, tag appropriately, put stuff under a cut, and let everyone behave like adults in choosing what content to consume. And with the ability to use privacy and moderation tools!
