Aesthetics that I really love Pt.2

~ Brooke F. ~ 5 Comments

And so the series continues. As I continue making these posts, I am coming to the realization that I could probably make a blue-zillion of these. So, if you one day click on my blog and see a post titled “Aesthetics that I really love pt.10292093”, mind your own business or at the very least humor me.

A little note, some of these aesthetics are not as well known, in part due to the fact, some I am purely making up. Dark Academia and Cottagecore appeared in the previous post and I am sure are recognized by many, and rightly so (they are lovely). However, I am just as eager to share some obscure or completely made up aesthetics with you readers!

So, with that disclaimer out of the way, let’s look as some aesthetics!

Unicore

As the name suggests, this aesthetic is based off of the mythical creature, the Unicorn. There have been various iterations of this aesthetic over time that is hallmarked by bright pink and rainbows, I, however, prefer the more “magical” version of Unicore (I don’t know if that’s officially the name. I just thought it sounded cool), the version that has a more opal-y appearance and is complimented by gold. That feels like a true unicorn.

Shakespearcore

This aesthetic feels like an infusion of Renaissance, Dark Academia, and Botany. It has a distinctly dreamy feel while also feeling a little gothic. I love how this aesthetic marries those traits together perfectly while throwing in a little bit of romance and adventure. What’s not to love?

Botanical Wonderland

Okay, full disclosure, this one I’m pretty sure I made up. I’m uncertain if I entirely made up the previously mentioned aesthetics on this list but this one I’m pretty certain about. I’m really not sure where the inspiration came from. I never even really liked “Alice in Wonderland” as a book (it was rather weird in my opinion) but I still really loved the designs of many of the creatures and places in the story. I think this aesthetic is born from my desire to see a friendlier wonderland. A greener one. One that is essentially just a magical garden.

Snow White and Rose Red

Again, another one I’m fairly certain I made up. It was based off of a Pinterest board I made for one of my favorite fairytales called “Snow White and Rose Red”. The aesthetic is punctuated by medieval style/inspired clothes and red’s and white’s as you can see.

Boho

What can I say? I love flowy skirts and the outdoors (despite being deathly allergic to one of those things). While this is an aesthetic I shall probably never embody, I always thought it was pretty and admired the air of freedom it seemed to have. Despite the fact that I will probably never have room with that many well kept plants or fully commit to the flowy shorts and skirts life, I still really really love this aesthetic.

And I think that concludes part 2 in this post series! Without a doubt, be on the look out (eventually) for a part 3. See ya’ll in the next post!

Diary of Weird Planets

55 Cancri e

You’ve heard it rains diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter, right? I always thought that in of itself was weird. But guess what? They’ve found a planet that is basically just a solid diamond. Meet 55 Cancri e, where at least a third of the planet’s mass is likely pure diamond. Apparently scientist have theorized that these kind of planets have existed but, until now, have never really found one.

Gliese 436 b

This planet, in many respects, shouldn’t exist. Also known asthe Planet of Burning Ice, Gliese is one of the most exotic contradictions within the realm of human knowledge, for it is known to literally be a planet coated by flaming ice

So how does this work exactly?

Well, I’m probably not smart enough to tell you in my own words but I’ll give it a shot.

The ice on this planet is kept solid due to the crazy strong gravitational force emitting from the planet’s core, which intensifies with increases in depth, thereby preventing the water from evaporating as it does on Earth.

So it just burns I guess?

Haumea

Ladies and gents, I don’t think I could do this planet justice in words so here ya go:

Chickens in space confirmed?

Anyway, this little guy is a dwarf planet with a most… unusual shape? But not only that, but he has a thin ring as well and one of the most beautiful orbit patterns I’ve ever seen, resembling a flower.

Wasp 12 b

A neat little planet-if you can see it of course which isn’t likely as this planet has a unique trait where it absorbs, instead of reflects, 94% of light. It’s also weird shaped as well, shaped and oblong. But this is probably due to the fact that it’s so extremely close to its parent star not to mention its probably going to be ripped apart and absorbed in the next million years or so, give or take a few.

Earth

Alright. Hear me out on this. I know our planet does have a spectacular icy ocean, nor two suns, or is even egg shaped. However, I think its pretty cool for multiple reasons.

First off, we’re here, and, in my humble opinion, the mere fact that we exist, is pretty awesome.

Second, we’re the only known planet in the universe to have rainbows. (This is due to the fact that we need sunshine and liquid water which, for some reason, is pretty scarce in space)

Third, we’re the only known planet to support life. Period. There are gazillions of planets out there and out of all of the ones we’ve discovered, still not humans. That would leave one to believe that we are, perhaps, the weird ones. The ones out of ordinary. Because saying we’re one in a million isn’t doing the odds justice when I say that by every right, we shouldn’t here. At least by chance. And I would say, that’s not just pretty amazing, it’s pretty weird.
