The sand in Okinawa, Japan contains thousands of tiny “stars”. These “grains of sand” are actually exoskeletons of marine protozoa, which lived on the ocean floor 550 million years ago.

[id: 10 gifs from season 3, episode 9 “defiant” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show julian bashir, quark, and kira nerys at quark’s. kira is seated while julian is standing on her right, and quark in between them for some of the gifs. the whole set is one continuous shot.
1st, 2nd & 3rd gif: the camera zooms out from kira sitting alone on a table to show quark coming from behind the bar carrying a tray, and julian standing on kira’s right with his arms crossed in front of him. “karvino juice, lorvan crackers, a holosuite program, a jumja stick and gambling tokens.” quark lists the items as he places them on the table one by one. kira looks annoyed and in disbelief.
4th gif: julian takes one step forward, “now, at least two of these items must be used and fully enjoyed before you leave this facility” he informs kira, who looks down at the items.

6th & 7th gif: quark leaves kira and julian alone, and julian steps in to fill the space quark occupied. “and if i hear you didn’t completely relax and enjoy yourself tonight, we’ll do this every night until you do.” julian uncrosses his arms and holds him behind him. he leans down and grabs the jumja stick and hands it over to kira, he tells her, “have fun!” kira grabs the jumja stick from his hand.

Anonymous asked:
Jon-a-Thon??
animate-mush answered:
The distance between Castle Dracula and the city of Klausenberg is about 150 miles overland (several people did several calculation)
Jonathan starts climbing after noon (I assume Dracula departs the castle at noon precisely for Liminality reasons) on June 30th. (Sunset that evening is about 8 pm so that gives him max eight hours to get out of range of the Ladies if he’s going to live, which he does).
On August 12th, Sr. Agatha says that he has been in hospital for “nearly 6 weeks.” That suggests that he arrived no later than July 3rd, because otherwise she would have said “more than 5 weeks”.
The train from Klausenberg to Budapest takes 8-12 hours. Jonathan probably therefore boarded the train the previous day, so no later than July 2nd.
To have done this, he needs to have covered the roughly 150 miles between the Castle and the Station in less than three days. In his socks. With no supplies. Possibly while missing a third of his blood.
This singular event I have dubbed the Jon-a-Thon, in deference to one of the more common misspellings of his name and the implication that Phiadippides wants what he has. Look under my tag for more math and occasional art!

will there be anything interesting?

No. It will be very dull. It will probably win prizes for dullness.
