Model Universes
Every point on the plane represents a possible universe. The x-axis represents the amount of matter density while the y-axis represents the amount of dark energy density. The shortest-lived universes occur at the bottom right and increases in age up to the line at the top left of the graph, indicating infinitely old universes. The other lines indicate possible dynamical and geometrical states for the universes. The point represents our Universe: a flat, accelerating universe that will expand forever.

Hooray, heat death!
Unless the dark energy density leads to massive acceleration and a Big Rip or something

Oh My God, Dragonstone is the -Worst-: Ten Sad Facts about Stannis Baratheon

stannisneedsahug:

  1. stannis baratheon spent his life trying to be more noble than his gross brother and his reward was jon arryn trying to send the repulsive sweetrobin to dragonstone to foster
  2. one time stannis baratheon went to a whorehouse to see robert’s baby and was like ‘oh this bastard child is so cute and not covered in grey rotting facial scales like my baby was’
  3. literally the best thing that has ever happened to stannis baratheon was meeting an evil vagina monster
  4. once when he asked robert why he didn’t get to rule storm’s end, robert just looked at him and laughed and laughed and laughed until his face was covered in robert-spit and then they just sort of ate dinner in silence
  5. the only song sung about stannis baratheon is an allegorical ballad about a grumpy lobster with no friends
  6. stannis is often woken in the middle of the night by patchface sliding under the covers to croon a sad sad song into his ear
  7. there is room under the covers because selyse has not slept in stannis’s bed in years
  8. this one time walder frey was desperately looking for a girl to marry off one of his kids to and he looked at shireen and was like ‘noooooope, not good enough’
  9. back when they were young strapping lads, renly got more pussy than stannis did
  10. and the saddest fact of all: stannis baratheon’s only friend is davos seaworth

I have mixed feelings about how strongly I ship this, because on the one hand FUCK YES but on the other hand I just know George R. R. Martin is baiting us so it’ll be more painful when one or both of them dies.
