☆ "I'm not the same person you left. You should probably remember that."

☆ "You don't get to miss me. You had me and you wasted it."

☆ "I've been keeping secrets for you since we were seventeen. I'm tired."

☆ "Don't call it love if you only show up when it's convenient."

☆ "I'm the most dangerous person in this room and nobody knows it yet."

☆ "You broke something in me that I'm still trying to name."

☆ "I'm not asking for much. Just stop lying to my face."

☆ "We could've been something incredible. You chose ordinary instead."

☆ "I saw the way you looked at her. Don't insult me by denying it."

☆ "Some people leave marks. You left scars. There's a difference."

☆ "I forgave you three times before I realized you were counting on it."

"☆ You're the only person I'd start a war for. That terrifies me."

☆ "I don't do second chances. You already know this."

☆ "They asked me if I loved you. I said something worse--I needed you."

☆ "Walk away if you want. But you'll think about this conversation for years."

☆ "I built walls and somehow you still ended up inside them."

☆ "You have a talent for making people feel invisible. Truly a gift."

☆ "I'm not broken. I'm just not what you expected."

☆ "It wasn't hate at first sight. It took at least a week."

Look, I made a collection of Fandom cakes that I found!

Working at Harvard in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as a “Computer”, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.

This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.

Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldn’t be bested until the 1990’s with automated digital sky surveys.

Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (O–B–A–F–G–K–M), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.

It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
