Tailed Planets

 ... have been documented.  Wow.

Now I want to name it something like Gypsy Vanner or Callipygia.

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.

Hmm that comets tail would have a lot of hydrogen and other lighter elements.. so fusion powered space dragon-whales!

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...

well, that gas density would be quite low... but the magnetic field would be massive! [think, Pandora!]

I lean towards the second one, myself - though I don't know if I'd call anything 'Gypsy' these days! |D

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.

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!

And I think, canonically, G* Danger became Lady Danger... is that the one you meant?

(I mean, I can also think of an MST3K character.)

I was thinking of The Flash currently airing, Cynthia whose superhero name/nickname is Gypsy :)

Callipygia! xD

That would fit nicely into a couple of your settings, wouldn't it...
