Ive Read The Whole Fic, But The Images Just Make My Day!

Да.

That sounds quite cool, actually. The thing about panslavism is that you really cannot get very many symbols that we ALL use in the modern day because even if we are so close, Slavs have partially assimilated into a lot of different parts of europe. Like I've seen the wheel as a pan-slavic symbol but who actually uses it in their specific culture? Same goes for things like cyrilic or old slavic myth, because half of us just use latin, and every slav has been deeply christianised (and in the case of Bosniaks, Pomaks, Torbeši and Gorani later islamised), so there really isn't a lot of old slavic thing to go off of since we really have just made new identities, anywho, thanks for listening to this rant

My bad attempt at making flags

So some days ago, I saw this post on reddit.

This user made a flag for queer slavic people :D. That's pretty cool! However, there are some things that I didn't like about the design. First of I didn't like how it was all pastel, I mean it makes sense because this was posted on a subreddit for xenogenders and from what I've seen online a lot of flags for xenogenders use pastel colors. Second of all, I really don't understand why they added pierogi. I mean, pierogi is a slavic dish but only in poland, Ukraine, and Russia (am I wrong? Too lazy to check right) and here in the balkans, it kind of isn't.

So here's my attempt to make a flag that was heavily inspired by the reddit user above! All creative credit goes to u/somethingisbread! This isn't me stealing their design this is just me editing it as a slavic queer.

It's basically the same thing as the flag in the reddit post. The only difference is that I didn't make the colors pastel, and I removed pierogi. I wanted to add a different symbol to represent queer slavic people. I want to add an owl to represent our slavic mythology and paganism and also our slavic brother/sisterhood because in every slavic language, we have the same word for owl (that is sova/сова). Unfortunately, I currently can't find a good owl design that would go well with the flag.

The blue, red, and white represent the pan slavic colors, and the lavender represents queerness.

Heh. Forgot abt the grey goo

Humans and Boredom V

Matter recycling and restructuring.

One of the most useful technologies any space faring civilization can develop is the ability to transform nearly any form of matter into almost any other on the molecular level (atomic would be perfect, but that's a bit more complex and power intensive). The most typical method is swarms of simplistic nanomachines - tell them to disassemble whatever junk you throw their way into convenient high density cylinders for each type of element or alloy found that the more sophisticated (and slower) nanomachines in the printers can then use to make all of the everything else.

Humanity is no exception to this, but they do have their own way of producing some of the more rare types of matter via a little thing they do with their true fusion reactors:

They deliberately overload and blow them up. "Contained" supercharged nuclear explosions using an actual (miniature) star.

"We've got a saying - when you've got a hammer, or in this case - tiny stars - every problem begins to look like a nail that needs an explosion."

Regardless of their insanity, as always, their version of nanomachine reassembly swarms is far more grotesque and dangerous.

For starters, they call them Grey Holes for the simple reason that normally you should not be able to see the nanomachines, as, well, they are on the atomic scale. But not here, no, crank up the density so high that you can see them, and oh yeah, keep them on and active at all times.

Fine, I will be fair and say that Humans do also have normal reassembly chambers that are fully contained, you insert the matter, close the gate, activate the machines, and in a few minutes safely take out the matter cylinders.

What I'm talking about here is a massive, visible, uncontained save for a magnetic field, always active swarm of ravenous nanomachines. They use this Grey Hole, well, okay, that's it's technical name, the workers call it PacMan.

Anyway, they move this PacMan over to a derelict cruiser, a Human cruiser by the way, so when I say massive, I mean it can engulf something that is several kilometers across. In a matter of just a few minutes, they move the PacMan from one end of the gigantic ship to the other. Minutes. Sometimes they play versions of this chipper tune as well. Were it not for the fact a simple electronic pulse even the smallest of ships can generate could fry the tiny brains of these simple machines, no doubt a Dissolution event would have occurred countless times across the Galaxy.

...hmm?

Humans call it the Grey Goo event?

And they knowingly call their reassembly nanomachine swarms Grey Holes. Right. Okay.

sigh Sometimes it feels Humans WANT an apocalypse to happen...

(I will boop everyone who reblogs this post, for the record 💖)

Based off that one trend because this is literally her baby!!!

Ok I’ll stop drawing baby Damian because I always end up doing it???

The Tim and Damian development recently we had Tim call Damian his baby brother

We got this recently with Damian putting Tim on a art piece of people he feels loved by

We had them hug

We had them finishing each other sentences

To Tim saving Damian and a father like son comparison with a smile on his face

Using this

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

All good, but I need MORE.
