[A woman in formal wear and a shawl made of translucent material decorated with layered fake feathers that go from sparse and small on the shoulders to long and thick around the waist, like she’s growing wings]

If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

What do you mean Skittles don’t belong on cakes? It was the only candy that has an S for Sheldon.

It was a year ago today that I posted a small doodle of a tiny dinosaur that thought he was a turtle, I never dreamed he would become as popular as he is now, or that so many nice people would honor me with their follows! I hope this is only the first of many years for Sheldon! I can’t ever thank everyone enough for being so supportive of my drawing , and as ever I’m especially thankful to my sister who sparked the idea and has been supportive ever since.

I plan to have something special by the end of the week in honor of all this so stay tuned! Also Sheldon valentine’s cards are still available at Redbubble so check it out!

Thanks again to everyone! ;u;

I drew up some Sheldon the Tiny Dinosaur that thinks he’s a Turtle Valentine’s cards (or just cards for any expression of affection!) and put them up for sale on RedBubble! I’m hoping to raise money anyway I can, so that hopefully I can bring you more Sheldon products, so any purchases are very much appreciated!

Prices are between $1.84 ~ $3.45 depending on size of card.

The actual cards will not have my tumblr watermark, and be in a much higher resolution, though they will still have a small signature.

‘You’re my Acorn’

‘Pancake’

‘Roses are HUGE’
