Birds are pretty great

I draw silly things (and sometimes write silly things too) and I tend to ramble in the tags (and will generally reply to your tags with more rambling). I also disappear a little bit during spring (mid-April to early May) and fall (mid-August through September) migration (birds, they're pretty great) Do NOT repost my art; Ao3 is the only other site where I post. If you wish to translate any of my works, please talk to me first to get permission.

HP worldbuilding ramble primarily regarding comets and Voldemort

I rambled about this to @whimsyckle and @rubusart and now I’m tossing this idea up here to see if anyone wants to play with this concept/run with this idea/bounce thoughts around!

So, after several unsuccessful (and rather chilly) camping trips to darker skies (…when I wasn’t getting rained on/hoping that my tent wouldn't leak again) over the last few weeks, I wound up going to an observatory the other weekend where they could still pick up the “green comet” in the big telescope— it was pretty blurry and dim even so but, hooray, a comet! (I’m hoping we’ll get another nice bright comet soon, sure Halley’s comet is scheduled for 2061, but that’s still quite a few years down the road!)

And thus I may have had comets on the brain for a little while now and that’s begun to spawn some world building thoughts.

(Caveat lector: I’m not an astronomer/astrophysicist/historian etc. I like having stars in the night sky and trying to find comets, but I enjoy meteor showers far more than trying to find Messier objects, so I am, at best, a very casual stargazer. There’s a lot of Wikipedia under these thoughts under here)
