My Constellation(s)!

Chicoon: Dennis
Art/Writing:
Outside of a love for the not-so-popular sport of golf, Dennis loves to watch the stars on beautiful nights on the course. The course Dennis works at is in one of the clearest night spots- meaning he can see a lot of other stars that others may not be able to due to light pollution.

Dennis remembers spotting a constellation that resembled a bird. The resemblance was almost uncanny- it was too close to not be intentional. He wondered how the stars could form in just a way to look exactly like one. It boggled his mind.

The next day was a rainy day and the course was too muddy to play on, and Dennis sat inside to wait out the rain. All was peaceful until he heard a knock on his window. One quick look and he could see a bird on the ground under the awning, they must have hit the window! Dennis's immediate reaction was to run to the bird, and that is what he did. He brought the bird inside and rehabilitated it until it was conscious and ready to fly away.

It took a few hours until the bird was back to being itself. Dennis was highly worried the entire time- but the bird kept him busy that day. When Dennis went to release him, the rain had cleared up and the bird sat in his hand, hesitating before taking off into the sunset.

He associates this constellation with the bird he rescued that day, due to the proximity of the events as well as the meaning behind both of them.

Chicoon: Max
Art/Writing: Max's wings flap excitedly. "Oh! Oh!" He jumps up and down, unable to curb his enthusiasm. "My favorite constellation is the Mighty M!" He draws a big M with one of his hands. "I was with my mate, Mirabel, on our first date, back before we became mates. She's actually the one who pointed it out to me." He gives a bit of a shy grin. "The constellation makes me think of Mirabel, since her name starts with M, too!" [words: 80]

sidenote...the "Mighty M" that Max is talking about is the constellation Cassiopeia, which looks like a giant w (or an upside down m)

Chicoon: Manticorus
Art/Writing:
Manticorus glanced back and forth thoughtfully between the stars of the night sky, seemingly a bit distraught in his inability to properly spot just what he was looking for. After a good, long moment…he finds what he considers to be a considerable compromise, puffing out his chest and holding his head up high to show off a constellation shimmering in his mane: It looked similar to Ursa Major humans were familiar with, though…it had what looked like a scorpion tail. And a mane. Oh. This wasn’t a bear. This was…--

Manticorus stared upward at the sky for a good moment more, his stinger dipping into a bit of ink and scribbling down his thoughts.

[I swear it exists, really! And not just on me! You’ve just gotta look super hard at that dumb collection of constellations the humans call a bear and--]

You feel as though Manticorus is going to have to write a twenty page diagram on how you get 'Manticorus Major' from Ursa Major, but you're pretty sure he knows it because of his own relationship with the night sky. Maybe.

[I thought that the monsters of mythology didn't get enough recognition.]

. . . or maybe he's conceited. It's hard to tell.

User+ID: PowerYetUnknown 981877
Chicoon: Alphi
Art/Writing:

Alphi seems to light up at the question, “That’s a wonderful question! I love Orion the hunter, the way those who saw it recognized it as a person is very interesting, and the fact that we are also able to immediately recognize it is brilliant!”

He pauses, and tilts his head to the side, “Have you perchance heard of pareidolia? It’s this very interesting phenomena that most things experience, it’s the ability to interpret something vague as something you already know.” His toes are clacking against the surface in front of him, seemingly lost in his own world. “A lot of constellations names and interpretations are a result of that I assume, it extends to other things of course-” The chiccon pauses, seemingly remembering the question.

“Ah! Right! Sorry I seem to have gotten a bit off track.”

“Orion is a wonderful example of something we all do, but it’s also in its own right a very beautiful piece of the cosmos, something we can all witness in our lifetimes, and all interpret either very similarly or very differently. Orion is a huge representation of that to me.”


Day 1

Chicoon: Jason
Art/Writing:
Jason has to think on this one for a bit. What constellation does he know of? The only thing he can remember is the messy cluster of stars that he can see from his lake. He always thought they looked like a raven, honestly. After remembering, he pulled a star chart from one of the nearby walls and gestured for Biolum to watch as he traced out the shape on the chart, satisfied with himself for having remembered them.
Day 1

Chicoon: Magnus
Art/Writing:

Whenever Magnus looks to the sky in the late spring, just as the temperatures go from cool to warm with heat waves on the horizon, his eyes search for what he affectionately calls the blob. A cluster of stars so close they almost morph into one, it has been part of his life for almost as long as he could remember. He just saw it one day when he was little, after chasing down a firefly, tripping, and falling in such a way that he rolled onto his back just to see the blob in the sky. It was incredible then, and now it fills him with nostalgia.

Chicoon: Unicus
Art/Writing: Unicus will always remember the first time he saw a constellation. His family had decided to go for a late night picnic, and had sat up on a hill, looking down over the bright lights of their home. He was nudged by one of his siblings, then, looking up, he saw it. Right where they were pointing was the Big Dipper. Unicus smiled at the sky, then cuddled in closer to his family, and, with his belly full of nice food, drifted off to sleep.
