A photo from this weeks partial solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses happen when the mood lines up between the Earth and the sun. Although in this case (known as an annular eclipse) the dark moon’s diameter was smaller than the visible disk of the sun. This caused it to leave a ring of fiery light around the edges.

Calling something exotic emphasizes its distance from the reader. We don’t refer to things as exotic if we think of them as ordinary. We call something exotic if it’s so different that we see no way to emulate it or understand how it came to be. We call someone exotic if we aren’t especially interested in viewing them as people — just as objects representing their culture.

If I stay here.. Miss Kaoru and the others will be in danger, whenever I become the Battousai. I can’t stay here any longer.
Kenshin was my very first cosplay, oh so many years ago. (Like, SakuraCon, back when it was <1,000 people and in a tiny sad hotel in Everett.) So this is all relevant to my inner-teenager/child interests, and I am quite pleased to see they found someone far, far prettier than I to play the role. <3
