Except possibly pencils.

I'm not sure about the Equestria Girls designs. They look a bit off-putting to me but good writing and direction will hopefully make up for so-so art.

Smart bunch, Time Lords. No dress sense, terrible hats, but smart.

The planets are Roman. Mercury was Hermes, Venus was Aphrodite, Earth if it was anyone was probably Demetir(Though I'm guessing it probably wasn't named after a god), Mars was Ares, Jupiter was Zeus, Saturn was Chronos, Uranus was actually Greek, the god of the sky. Go figure. Neptune was Poseidon and Pluto was Hades.

Mental image: Rainbow Dash as Artemis.

Aremis Fowl? But he's Irish.

Earth is the only planet not named after a god. Which is boring. We need a better name than "earth", because "earth" basically means "ground". We can do better than that.

The conversion wasn't exact. Diana for instance had her moon aspects played up more and was seen as a model of female purity to emulate. Mars was seen as more of a Memetic Badass rather than the coward who couldn't stand feeling pain even though he happily inflicts it on others.

It's awfully cosmo-centric, too. It'd be like if a country was called "The place". There are other places.

A new name will definitely be in order when we discover other life.

Irish Zombie is the zombie Artemis Fowl?
Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay or should I go?

It's weird how our moon is called....the Moon. And how our sun is called.....the Sun.

To be fair, they were named at around the time when the only thing we knew about the little dots in the sky was they were these little dots in the sky.

[up] Since when did we have a second moon?

It's technically only a near-earth asteroid. It's orbit makes it pass us at a relatively stable frequency, so for a while it was considered to just have a sort of eliptical orbit around Earth, so it's sometimes referred to as a second moon, even though it really isn't. IT's a fun fact to pull on people, though.

Since Stephen Fry said so.

Strangely, I've only ever seen that name for our sun used in science fiction.

Well according to Wikipedia, it appears to orbit a bean shape in the corotating reference frame of Earth thanks to orbital resonance. But since Earth is outside of it's 'orbit', it can't be considered a moon.

It may sound complicated, but Wikipedia has some helpful animations to explain it.

Has anyone checked out Daddy Discord yet? Not sure if Power Metal is everyone's thing, but I think it's pretty awesome.

Back from the gym. Don't mean to brag but I'm getting pretty buff again. grin

Thanks ma, for driving me out of the house to pump irons and work a cross trainer.

Being in shape doesn't make up for everything else though. No friends on the same landmass, living in your room in your mother's house taking abuse from her like a 5 year old, no GF...eurgh. tongue

Anyway, back to the story...
