So, I wasn't sure where to post this, and I don't know who has heard of this, but there's this thing going around on tumblr based on that whole "impact" thing on jupiter. It goes as follows: whole thing: http://selfmadesuperhero.tumblr.com/post/31697031302/kissedmequiteinsane

Jupiter may have just saved Earth from a devastating impact event
Something just went down on Jupiter. Monday morning, at 11:35:30 UT, amateur astronomers glimpsed a brief but blazing flash of light in the upper reaches of the planet’s cloudy atmosphere. If past observations are any indication, Jupiter may have just sustained a major impact event. If that’s the case, the gas giant may have just saved Earth from a devastating cosmic collision.

chibi please. That was the USS Enterprise coming out of warp.

Bless you Jupiter.

Thank you, Jupiter!

Jupiter/Earth

OTP.

I ship it

How long until we can expect the fanfiction?

THE FANFICTION:
“Hey Jupiter!” Earth burst in, grinning wildly. “Where are you? Some of my scientists got this theory about your moons and-“
“I’m over here.” The voice calls out from another room and Earth frowns. Why does Jupiter even have rooms? Hesitant, he walks into another room, to find Jupiter. The man is standing shirtless, which could be a little awkward, until he notices Jupiter standing slouched and the red, inflamed burn along his torso.
“Jupiter?! What happened?!” Without a second thought he rushes forward, grabbing ice off a table and wrapping it in a towel, and pressing it to the burn. Jupiter jumps back, and Earth whacks his hand. “Stay still! Trust me, I know what I’m doing. We have actual medical professionals on my planet. We have actual people on my planet.”
“…Hello, Earth.” Then Earth realises his position, kneeling in front of Jupiter and with his hands pressed to the other man’s chest. And he hasn’t even said hello. He blushes.
Must defuse situation. “Uh, hi!” he says awkwardly. “Sorry about bursting in. You know me, always interfering with everything and thinking I know what’s best for everyone, ha ha!”
Jupiter chuckles. “It’s fine.” Earth notices the ice is heating up so he takes it out of the towel, swaps it for more ice. Jupiter winces as Earth reapplies the bundle.
“Seriously though,” Earth says, “What happened?”
Jupiter sighs. “Impact event. Asteroid, comet,” he says.
Earth stops dead. Impact events. He’s seen a few of those in his time, and they’ve always been so much worse for him than anyone else - the rest of his solar system is barren enough it doesn’t count, but him, teeming with life and ideas and species. He still remembers when he lost the dinosaurs, in a haze of fire and ash and poison. Woke up centuries later, smaller and fragile. He loved them so much, and still remembers them. It terrifies him to think of such a thing happening again, even to his humans, with all they’ve done to the planet - he loves them too.
And… Jupiter. “I’m so sorry,” he says, blinking through the haze of emotion.
“It’s alright,” smiles Jupiter, and Earth wants to ask how can it possibly be alright? “It’s not exactly an uncommon occurrence. Largest planet in the solar system; I think my mass just attracts things.”
“What?” Earth leaps to his feet. “But - that’s not fair!”
Jupiter cocks his head to the side. “Greatest mass, greatest target. Laws of physics. How is that not fair?”
“Because - because you haven’t done anything wrong!”
Jupiter laughs again. “Oh, right. You and all your lifeforms, and their concepts - fairness, morality, karma.”
“Don’t mock me; they don’t even all have those, anyway,” Earth huffs. “But how can you… Look at that burn, man. And you’re telling me this is nothing?”
Jupiter briefly looks down at the oozing, crusting thing. “Well, what would happen if I wasn’t here, huh?” he asks. “The meteors - or comets, or asteroids, or whatever - would get past me, hit the smaller planets behind. Your best friend Mars… or Venus and Mercury, nuts as they are. Or you.”
Earth gulps. “You shouldn’t have to do this for us,” he says.
Jupiter smiles, before pulling Earth into his embrace. Um. Okay. “It’s alright, Earth. I don’t mind. After all - I’m a gas giant, emphasis on the giant. I can get by, pretty much no matter what happens. Other people are more important. People like you. You’re… special.”
“I’m not,” says Earth. “I’m not special. Just… self-important.”
Jupiter chuckles again. “You’re better than you think you are. You’re alive, Earth, and that’s the most important thing. You have people, ideas, emotions still to share. You have so much to find, so much to see, so much to explore. You’re fragile, and I wouldn’t let you get set back by just any old meteor. You are special, Earth; you’re gonna fly across the universe one day, and to me that is worth a thousand burns.”
“ you’re gonna fly across the universe one day, and to me that is worth a thousand burns.”
And then I actually started to ship it.
What the hell.

Tumblr: The only place where we have homoerotic fanfiction about two planets.
omg i ship it.

better love story than twilight

I can’t believe I actually teared up over a couple planets…

What.


SO yeah. There's no a fan base for EarthxJupiter...which I kind of actually ship. However, this is what I was thinking about it the whole time:

THOUGHTS.

XD I like that this has really come to light lately; when i first learned about it in astronomy I was like NAOKO I LOVE YOU! 'SCOUT OF PROTECTION', YEAH, YOU NOD YOUR HEAD YOU BRILLIANT LADY. <3 ^^ teehee, i even made mention of it in my Jupiter Planet Power post,

Quote :

One very important aspect about Jupiter is its immense gravitational pull – it is said that Jupiter’s nearness to the Asteroid Belt is what prevents the debris that makes up the Asteroid Belt from forming into a planet. Its gravity also turns Jupiter into a watchdog for the inner solar system; should any foreign object, such as a comet or other potentially-harmful space debris, come towards the inner solar system, it is often caught by Jupiter’s gravitational pull and crashes into the planet itself, saving the inner solar system, namely Earth, from potentially dangerous situations.

o_o lol, please excuse that extraordinarily long sentence. ^^'

Really, though, it's just amazing how the other celestial bodies affect our lives without us even thinking about them.

Sailor Jupiter=best senshi ever!

Moving this to the General Sailor Moon forum area since it better fits in that section over the spammy forum
