I love Hastra but because of that fact he’ll probably die a horrible death
Fight me on this I dare you. You will lose <3
If you or someone you know has been a victim of identity theft, call this number now
Just because I’ve accepted it doesn’t mean I’m happy about it
Anyways my Holland memes usually do better so here you bitches go
The way he went zoomin out of the ballroom 💀
Here have a meme from the first book bc I haven’t read any more in agos shhhhh
The fake breeze was the icing on the cake bro I was dying
Can’t wait to see Kell’s reaction to Lila being in the games LMAO
Dean Winchester is that you 🤨
British (derogatory)
“I am your best thief” ladies and gentlemen she is an icon she is a legend she IS the moment
Here have another Lila meme while finals week kicks my ass
Not pictured: Holland dying on a bench
The way I gasped at this scene
I should be studying for finals rn
This is some Frodo and the ring type shit 😭 save urself my boi
The universe is full of dazzling sights, but there’s an eerie side of space, too. Nestled between the stars, shadowy figures lurk unseen. The entire galaxy could even be considered a graveyard, full of long-dead stars. And it’s not just the Milky Way – the whole universe is a bit like one giant haunted house! Our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will illuminate all kinds of spine-chilling cosmic mysteries when it launches in 2027, but for now settle in for some true, scary space stories.
One of the first signs that things are about to get creepy in a scary movie is when the lights start to flicker. That happens all the time in space, too! But instead of being a sinister omen, it can help us find planets circling other stars.
Roman will stare toward the heart of our galaxy and watch to see when pairs of stars appear to align in the sky. When that happens, the nearer star – and orbiting planets – can lens light from the farther star, creating a brief brightening. That’s because every massive object warps the fabric of space-time, changing the path light takes when it passes close by. Roman could find around 1,000 planets using this technique, which is called microlensing.
The mission will also see little flickers when planets cross in front of their host star as they orbit and temporarily dim the light we receive from the star. Roman could find an additional 100,000 planets this way!
Roman is going to be one of the best ghost hunters in the galaxy! Since microlensing relies on an object’s gravity, not its light, it can find all kinds of invisible specters drifting through the Milky Way. That includes rogue planets, which roam the galaxy alone instead of orbiting a star…
…and solo stellar-mass black holes, which we can usually only find when they have a visible companion, like a star. Astronomers think there should be 100 million of these black holes in our galaxy.
Black holes aren’t the only dead stars hiding in the sky. When stars that aren’t quite massive enough to form black holes run out of fuel, they blast away their outer layers and become neutron stars. These stellar cores are the densest material we can directly observe. One sugar cube of neutron star material would weigh about 1 billion tons (or 1 trillion kilograms) on Earth! Roman will be able to detect when these extreme objects collide.
Smaller stars like our Sun have less dramatic fates. After they run out of fuel, they swell up and shrug off their outer layers until only a small, hot core called a white dwarf remains. Those outer layers may be recycled into later generations of stars and planets. Roman will explore regions where new stars are bursting to life, possibly containing the remnants of such dead stars.
If we zoom out far enough, the structure of space looks like a giant cobweb! The cosmic web is the large-scale backbone of the universe, made up mainly of a mysterious substance known as dark matter and laced with gas, upon which galaxies are built. Roman will find precise distances for more than 10 million galaxies to map the structure of the cosmos, helping astronomers figure out why the expansion of the universe is speeding up.

But everything changed when Black London went batshit crazy
Technically she ran away but this is how it would’ve went down 💀
Y’all bitches are not ready for my Shades of Magic memes
My younger self was sobbing— AND we get Donna back I will never recover from this
Reblog and put in the tags what fictional character comes to mind first when you hear the name “Rose.” Expose yourselves.

Here I am
Back on my bullshit after reading books 1 and 2 of the Scarlett and Browne series by Jonathan Stroud
I finished RotDS today and I am in shambles
I liked the OG series way better but the knowledge that there will never be any more Fablehaven universe books just feels so sad :(
I did find it soul-shatteringly nostalgic neat that Dragonwatch ended with a very similar scene to the Fablehaven ending scene
Just wanna say something
I know this fandom is small compared to the other book fandoms, but what I TRULY LOVE about ours is that all of us know each other. Every time one of us posted something about Lockwood & Co, all of us instantly liked, reblogged, and sometimes comment. No accounts being left out with only one like, no one ignores anyone. Like, this is the only fandom where I feel safest and most comfortable in
So, yeah, shout out to us for creating this little paradise
