Please do! I'll be first in the queue! I miss your animations, and other creators too. Nobody does expansion animations any more (or I can't find any), especially not more realistic-looking ones! It got popular and then suddenly just as quickly entirely died out 😭

Two of those I can understand, one ... eh, not so much. And I AM a smoker lol 😆

Oh gawd that must have been horrific! They probably smell worse than a dead rat or mouse, right? At least I'm not the only one who thinks it's NOT a pleasant smell at all. I dunno why people keep claiming it IS?!

You notice how he's still being so, cos it's all about him. He didn't ask for a hook-up, or to have sex WITH her, or indicated he's intending to reciprocate in any fashion whatsoever. HE just wants HIS "needs" attended to. Typical male-pig mentality 🙄

Only in exceedingly rare situations, and usually only when the two are already acquainted somehow AND the woman was already intending on having a hook-up with that specific person any way. Other than that, absolutely not. Doing that normally shows you weren't being nice, you were being self-serving.

Also, trying to come up with alternatives to over-used words WITHOUT ending up sounding like I just vomited a thesaurus all over the place. I don't want any reader to NEED to use Google every five seconds! That sucks too.

Worst part for me is trying to edit out as many "ands", "buts", and other 'filler' words as I possibly can - only to then realise the story makes absolutely no sense now, and having to go back and do it all over again. Only to realise I put them all back in again and I'm back to square one lol

You and me both. I think I may have actually cried. No space travel to even the closest Star in my lifetime. Which also means no getting to be an awesome interplanetary delivery pilot either, sadly 😭 We HAVE developed one quick probe, but even she would take 7,000 years to reach Alpha Centuri

The most eye-opening thing to me, is if we were to try and travel out of our system to other systems and we could only go at the speed of Voyager 1 you better hope we'd invented cryostasis - otherwise you'd be long dead before leaving the system almost 600 years after launch.

Yep! I learned that one too unfortunately. Boy did my dad burst the major bubble I had about space and travelling through it lol 😂 I still am obsessed with it, but pieces of me died every time I learned some new truth about it all.

That was a huge disappointment to learn this, since when Star Trek: Voyager came out, I genuinely thought if you flew through a Nebula it would ripple and move like in the opening sequence. Turns out it likely wouldn't even be visible 🥲

Pillars of Creation would be rather boring to see in-person too (as would most Nebulae), since you'd be IN the dust cloud of the Nebula and it's so massive with the particles so far apart you'd actually see nothing but empty space around you.

Oh is that how you're supposed to do it? I've been repeating the same ones over and over again, just to make absolutely sure I've made the same mistake in as many different ways as possible for the same outcome ... you know, just to cover all my bases.
