In my opinion, there are few things more beautiful than seeing stars being born. This is a lovely photograph of it, though nothing beats seeing it with your own two eyes. I think I need to take a trip to see this.

	I think that might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! I'll have to write a poem to it, using the same sort of pinks and purpleblues in the star. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Poetry is certainly one way to record the beauty of the universe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's how I record all the beauty in the universe! One manages to find it everywhere, doesn't one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Yes, one does! I have seen the best and the worst of the universe, but there is always beauty to be found. There is always good that outweighs the bad. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think you'll probably get there a little late. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-07-28 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Not necessarily. I have a spaceship that can also travel through time. I can get there whenever I want to and not miss a single thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have a time travelling spaceship? I'd say I've now heard everything but something tells me that's not even remotely true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 12:35 am UTC (link)
	That depends entirely on what you choose to believe. My TARDIS is indeed real. I can travel anywhere in time and space. But I suppose if you have not caught the dreaming epidemic that's here, you would not quite understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bygones 2016-08-02 12:45 am UTC (link)
	I'm acquainted with the whole dream thing. So you've decided to use this time travelling space ship for things like watching some star being born nearly 3000 years ago instead of world peace or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I do both, actually. I've defended the Earth from multiple invasions in my dreams. I like seeing the universe and discovering new species and planets and stars. Not all of them are friendly. But world peace, that I cannot do. There are things that I cannot change or tamper with because it will cause time to fracture and everything will breakdown and the universe will end. I've done that, it wasn't a pleasant experience, so I try to only poke the things that I can change. Mostly.

	That sounds... way more complicated than I'd be interested in. How are you supposed to know what you can and cannot change? Glad the spaceships in my dreams can't travel through time. ... or space for that matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	It's part of being a Time Lord. I can see all of time and intrinsically know what can and cannot be changed. It's a burden more often than not, such as when I was in Pompeii the day the volcano erupted and buried it. Believe me, the universe is a far simpler place when various races cannot travel amongst the stars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bygones 2016-08-03 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	That job sounds like it sucks. No doubt. Things are complicated enough with just humans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-07 03:48 am UTC (link)
	It does from time to time, yes. Indeed they are. And humans in my dreams tend to create plenty of problems once they start traveling the universe and meet other cultures and species. It can be a rather chaotic chain of events. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bygones 2016-08-08 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Speaking of things that suck, humans are right up there. Can't take them anywhere without them killing each other. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You always have opinions. However, that is a very true statement. Might as well get to see it up close though and not through photos. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Like you have to ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Your TARDIS or mine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysbeenthere 2016-08-02 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Ohhh, now that's a tougher question. I mean, I am fond of both of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 01:56 am UTC (link)
	It is a tricky question. Though I suppose your TARDIS did conceal mine once, so perhaps its feasible we can take both and yet still be in the same TARDIS? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysbeenthere 2016-08-02 01:59 am UTC (link)
	That it has. So I think it's doable to take both while being in the same TARDIS. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Then it's a plan. I'll just pop on over then! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Stars used to be something I thought about only in regards to celebs. Now? I can see what you mean. I wouldn't want to see it closer though. I'm happy enough looking around me here on Earth. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-07-28 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Yes, it can be dangerous if you get too close. However, it is still a beautiful experience. And infinitely better than watching stars die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Technically aren't all the stars we can see dead already? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That depends on the distance the star is from here, and the type of star. But yes, generally speaking the light we see in the night sky is from stars that have already died. It's actually quite fascinating if you think about it. When you look up at the night sky, it's a snap shot of the universe as it existed ages ago. Which is rather mind blowing, wouldn't you agree? To see a snap shot of the past so clearly and in real time, it is like being at any ruin or monument on Earth built millennia ago. We can only marvel at the remnants and dream of the true brilliance it once existed in.

	alak 2016-08-02 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	No. Looking up into the face of death doesn't blow my mind at all. I only see ruins when I look at them here, too. In my Dreams, I see all the distant stars I want to see. ~~I see all the otherworldly life I want to see in my mirror every day.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-02 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's not just stars dying, there are also stars and planets being born every moment. Though I understand it is not easy to see the beauty in things. The universe and all the races within it can be a very dark place. And I have walked through the worst of it all in my Dreams and still I am able to find joy in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alak 2016-08-03 12:08 am UTC (link)
	It's rare to see them being born. I think birth is its own miracle although I could have passed forever on being forced to watch The Miracle of Birth in Human Biology class. My Dreams have taught me a lot about the darker side of life, the universe, and everything. I just wish they didn't bleed over so much into this life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-03 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Oh indeed it is. Birth is a very beautiful thing. Well, the product, not the act of it when coming from a human standpoint. I am sorry, the bleed over is difficult to handle sometimes. Especially when it's not positive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alak 2016-08-03 12:59 am UTC (link)
	Definitely not positive in my case. I have the scars to prove it. At least you get a great perspective on life from yours. That's pretty awesome, man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	againsthugging 2016-08-03 01:46 am UTC (link)
	I am sorry. I had to suffer through many, many terrible things, and doing some very terrible things, in order to get that perspective. I also got turned into an alien, but I can't completely complain about that. It just means I'm better able to sort through my Dreams, though I do not quite appreciate all aspects of it.

	You were an alien in your Dreams or you're an alien here because of your Dreams? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm an alien here because of my Dreams. I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. I managed to stay human until a certain point, then I woke up one day and oh I have two hearts now. Among other things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can empathize with that. Not exactly. I don't have two hearts. I did wake up an alien with no skin pigment. Among other things. Castithan by species though I wasn't born on Casti. I was born on Earth. A different one than this one, but I figure you know that much if you're something called a "Time Lord." That definitely sounds more involved than being a freaky sort of albino.

Castithan? I have not heard of such a species before. Though you look like an albino? Fascinating. I've met all sorts of different species. Green skinned, blue skinned, red skinned, some with suckers covering their entire body, so on and so forth. I think all species regardless of how they look are beautiful. Though it sounds as though you are having difficulty adjusting to your new looks?
