Escapism from Steven Universe is very Rue coded especially during s2 love HER.

Lore dump incoming:

She's a 17 y/o runaway orphan looking for answers abt her parents and the strange dreams she's been having since she was 5.

She stumbles upon an injured and passed out Arthur Lester and takes him to a hospital near by in a small town they were passing through and has been visiting him during his coma(she claims it's to make sure he isn't a serial killer).

From there she ends up tagging along.

Turns out her parents were part of a cult that worshipped the King in Yellow and Rue was gifted with "special dreams" which allow her to see the supernatural as well as the Dreamlands and in rare cases, the future/past.

Ngl the idea for her was just "What if Arthur was forced to confront his parental guilt in a deeper lively by giving him a child/teen companion with him?" And the outcome was...well....

It's complicated(and don't get me started on them in s4 yeeesh)...

Tldr; theyre Ellie and Joel coded 👍

Saturn, the majestic ringed planet, often steals the spotlight in our cosmic lineup. But did you know there's more to this gas giant than meets the eye?

1. Saturn's Many Moons: While almost everyone knows Saturn has a bustling entourage of over 80 moons, it’s lesser known why.

Saturn's numerous moons are a result of its massive size and gravitational influence. As the second-largest planet in our solar system, Saturn exerts a powerful gravitational pull, allowing it to capture and retain many objects in orbit around it. Additionally, its proximity to the asteroid belt provides a steady supply of potential moon candidates.

Many of Saturn's moons are believed to have formed alongside the planet during the early stages of the solar system's formation, as material in the protoplanetary disk coalesced to form both the planet and its moons. Others may have been captured later as Saturn migrated in its orbit or as it encountered passing objects.

The complex interplay of gravitational forces among Saturn's moons, as well as tidal effects from Saturn itself, contribute to the diversity and number of moons. Some moons may be locked in resonance with each other, stabilizing their orbits, while others may experience tidal heating and geological activity, shaping their surfaces and interiors.

In summary, Saturn's extensive moon system is a result of its size, gravitational pull, orbital dynamics, and its location in the solar system, making it one of the most moon-rich planets known.

2. The Hexagonal Storm: Deep within Saturn's atmosphere lies a peculiar hexagonal-shaped storm at its north pole (as seen in the image below). This bizarre weather phenomenon, discovered by the Voyager mission in the 1980s, continues to puzzle scientists to this day. How and why it formed remains one of Saturn's enduring mysteries.

3. Saturn's Density Dilemma: Despite being known as a gas giant, Saturn is surprisingly less dense than water! If you could find a bathtub large enough, Saturn would actually float in it. Its low density is due to its composition of mostly hydrogen and helium, making it one of the lightest planets in our solar system.

Who Discovered Saturn?

Saturn's discovery is shrouded in ancient history. While it's difficult to pinpoint a single individual credited with its discovery, the planet has been observed by civilizations throughout history.

Galileo Galilei: In 1610, Galileo became the first person to observe Saturn through a telescope. However, due to limitations in his telescope's optics, he mistook Saturn's rings for large moons on either side of the planet.

Christiaan Huygens: It wasn't until 1655 when Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens correctly identified Saturn's rings as a disk surrounding the planet. His discovery revolutionized our understanding of Saturn's unique features.

YES I ABSOLUTELY DO

THAT MAS WAS MY OG TRANS AWAKENING

Have not posted in a hot minute BUT i have a few Rue sketches to share bc she is my pride and joy(a mind worm fr fr)

Starting up with an angsty Rue animatic with NO context bc i love angst huppa!

And then we've got baby Rue bc she was a baby and we have to acknowledge that.

Fluff was never an option here. Girlie pop picked flowers and placed them under her pillow to help her sleep and not be taken to the empty scary room where her paralysis demon(tkiy) torments her :)

BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS SHE HAS FRIENDS!

From left to right we've got Rue and Finley(who's owned by the amazing @quinndecker ), they are ride or die feral besties they love each other and would protect each other.

Then we have Rue and Benny(owned by the lovely @drearymars ), soft siblings they go on walks every Sunday :)

Then we've got the titular bitchulars Rue annoying Bernie with the help of Frank(both owned by the cool @brunch7209 ), chaotic sibling shenanigans. Bernie still doesn't call her a regular despite her being his nephew's first friend. Everybody say aw(AAAAWWWW) :(

And last but certainly not least we have the girlies, Miku and Rue(Miku is owned by the greatest @insanity-in-the-stars ). They have lunch dates every Monday and Wednesday :)
