Behold my luxury cheese plate.

I am a simple soul. Window seat, bulkhead, cheese plate, and mostly smoov. Luxury, as said in the Alan Rickman Four Yorkshiremen sketch voice.

I have, Maven, thank you.

I was practically writing poetry in my next post, but never actually submitted it, I just rolled it around in my mouth while I was baking muffins for my partners. ~<3

On December 4th, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft sent its last bit of data. Two days later, it was somersaulting around Mars. Since then, silence. 🛰️

One of the fam started bubu-g early. Was a bit horrified by it but she's a maven so I knew it had to be early trend.

Now with it framed as "baseball cards" I have to acknowledge she probably has some very valuable smugly dolls..

"Are you afraid, Maven?"

"I am. I'm afraid of failing.

I'm afraid of letting this opportunity pass us by. And I'm afraid of what happens if nothing in this world ever changes.

That scares me more than dying.”

NOPE I replied instead of quoted for a reason.

This is on you, Ms. Meat Maven.😂

We met both Sage and Arin doing this shit and now we all live together. We met Maven and Danny doing this, and by extension all of Maven's friends who are now some of my closest friends. I dated Mags when I was like 20 bc we were both in these communities and now I have an entire IRL support network

Oh, it's fully original characters you're after this time?
*Throws the mountain at you*

These guys are all from my own planet called Nadela, a tidally locked place populated by lizard people on one side and werewolf people on the other.
I love them all so much (you can read more in the alt text).
