Funny silly SSOA stuff

December 19th, 2023 - started writing at 3:19 AM

So when we were coming home I bought some arts and crafts on the way...and a little bit of context I've been into The Scrambled States of America as a new interest

I'm not stopping all of my astronomy-related stuff ! Usually when I find a new interest, it's a really intense hyperfocus so I may not be as focus on spacecraft n stuff as I usually would be. The same thing happened with constellations it's just states so it feels super different hehe

Anyways, when I got home and later that day I started getting to work and making use of those supplies i bought, and the result:

Meet California !!! Spent over 7 hours working on him non-stop with the power of my dark magic /lh

*He doesn't wear glasses but does wear sunglasses sometimes, I just didn't find any so I used my own LOL

him with the gang:

This is California, Rhode Island, and Arizona !!! I have to prop them up with cut foam pieces because they're so blubby shaped LOL. Arizona was the first I made, then after her I used some extra foam to make Rhode Island (he's freakishly strong for his size !!!)

a very snazzy state, I will say

he wore a lil top hat in the talent show book hehe

Some oc stuff bc why not lol

been making SSOA OCs in my freetime hehe...they're usually based on astronomy but i like including science/wildlife that the state may be recognized for

I've only properly named two so far, Californium and Arizonac, but I'll talk a little more about Arizonac since he was the first I made

As much as the Pomni I've made him out to be he's not like that 24/7, but he's very secluded and prefers to be alone (or with a few close friends)

He's a very skillful and dedicated astronomer, and that's because I've read a lot of notable astronomy-related things about Arizona (ex. its various dark sites, lots of telescopes, Flagstaff's Lowell observatory) and being an Arizonan im proud of that hehe

So with that, he's actually nocturnal and so he's very sensitive to light and sound (and touch). That's also a reason why he prefers to be alone other than his introverted personality because daytime noises and light are discomforting. The little red dots around his eyes help him kind of see in the dark (as with red light when you're stargazing, it helps preserve your dark adapted eyes)

Californium I haven't done much about him other than make him like this futuristic robot-type guy who's just in love with space exploration (because of the JPL, Caltech, Silicon Valley, DSN at Goldstone, the Vandenburg launches, all that jazz) but also other science topics and wildlife because I heard California's quite diverse in that.

just two jovian spacecraft. nothing out of the ordinary here

ESA: Rosetta was decommissioned and landed on the surface of 67P. It has been inactive since.

Rosetta, right now, at this very moment whilst posting:

the hands were the most painful 20 minutes of my life and an extra probably another 20 minutes just fixing them :sob:

the bones decided they wanted to affect literally every single part of the hand EXCEPT the one thing they needed to affect

gave making a weirdcore(?) edit that was intended to be comforting to me in some way a try (this is not a vent and i am doing fine by the way)

image was me drawing a little wormy boy!!! on an image of a hallway i took

these two honestly

Her name's Big Tex (often just called Tex). She is indeed as tall as a tower but isn't the only one with that kind of leg to body ratio going on.

New Mexico is still New Mexico, he still hasn't gotten a name yet lol

Sort of new side Tumblr going on ^^

Just reblogged one of my posts there, gives me the chance to bring up: I opened up a side blog for my silly little SSOA fan stuff !!

There will be more information about it on that blog, but I'm here on my main to get some things out there that I hope people will be able to note

First of all, this isn't me moving!

The new tumblr blog is there to keep This main blog organized and because its more narrow it deserves its own blog for its own things. Even though my activity may fluctuate from time to time, I still will definitely post other non-stellar states stuff right here!

My fan stuff wont exclusively be ONLY there

I still will post art here that may or may not already be on the blog! This isn't cross-posting to get attention: My main blog is more general and I still do include my projects, and I still want to keep this side blog connected in some way (it may be updates and the like)

You may notice more reblogs from it. Please note that it's still just your local Rollie ^^

Tribute art + a really silly GIF. Happy 10th landing anniversary, Philae ^-^

The weather for the past year: dry, sunny, less rain than expected

Me: has an astronomy event later today

The weather today, all of a sudden, somehow, unexpectedly: SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED.
