I know, I post girls flying on magic brooms a lot. They dominate the #levitation tag, and with Halloween season approaching, you’re gonna see more of them. Maybe even more from ilLUMI.

Mary Poppins doesn’t only fly with umbrellas, you know. She’s in an elite group of characters who qualify for Floating Is Fun multiple times under different tags. What did Angela Lansbury put in these balloons?

I apologize for the gap between posts here. I didn’t forget about my airheads here! I encountered some other unexpected floating objects and they’ve been living rent-free in my head ever since. I asked about them and I’ll post one when I get the chance.

!skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world makes a strong case for “video games are art”, especially appealing to my floaty tendencies. I’m afraid of it because it’s free-to-play and I’ll never own the game and it’ll always ask me for more money. Still, I find myself attracted to it like a moth to the flame. I must play this sometime.

@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz , can @saucechan@ani.social take a crack at this? SauceNAO can’t find this at all.

⑨/⑨ is upon us, and it’s tradition to post Cirno from Touhou! Cirno is upside-down here, so this pose is a ⑥ instead. Cool backflip, but not a ⑨.

This one was tricky to source. Hana Augustine is anti-AI art and has been deleting her art from platforms that train AIs. I had the Behance one saved for this week, but it’s been deleted and the other non-Glazed uploads of this are probably getting deleted soon. If this happens, I can upload a new version of this to Fedia, but I’m not sure it would federate to other instances.

Yay! It looks like I successfully crossposted something @Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com posted on Lemmy! Back on Reddit, whenever I was about to post some art, I’d check other subreddits for it and crosspost them if possible. No need to have multiple uploads, and I want to help our airheads here to find other like-minded communities. If you like my posts here, !imaginarywitches@lemmy.dbzer0.com is definitely worth following as well.

From the title, I guess a deity took over this area and made gravity optional. Float if you want to, and play around with how floating and non-floating objects interact.

I’m on my way to Matsuricon to defend my title in the mystery game tournament. The dealer’s probably has a booth for Crunchyroll, but aren’t they just Sony now? Does the person who made this music playlist even work for them anymore?

Here in Ohio, FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique were the national game store chains in town until GameStop bought them both and took over their stores. Funco was known for their lists of trade-in values in magazines in the days before VGPC. Now it’s come full circle and GameStop is turning some stores into the 90s FuncoLand stores they replaced.

Or FuncoLand?

The (NSFW) bubble fanatic Neo Sumino Arezzo commissioned Ko-dai to draw their Cure Maid Café-style original character Izumi Natheria in the Bumper Bubbles minigame from Mario Party 9.

Whew! That sentence required way more than my usual due diligence, and the language barrier didn’t help that at all. There are some rabbit holes here for sure. Among those, the bubbles can collect balloons without popping, but the spike balls can pop your bubble and your rivals will try to shove you into them.

Really? In three years of running a community full of flying characters, I’ve never posted Peter Pan? I’ve certainly had Peter Pan posts planned since the beginning, but I always decide to post something else instead. Hmm…

This Peter Pan and these fairies appear to be pirates! They’ve got so much fairy dust, it got in the water and now there’s some fish in blobs of flying water. I think this crew is doing a lot more to London than just taking a few kids to Neverland. The Flickr title says it’s midnight but Big Ben’s clock is stopped at 10:06pm.

Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register

Indeed, I accept this post as a valid interpretation of the rules. I’ll allow it. We haven’t had a floaty soundscape before, but I was prepared to accept new types of floating. Now that you’ve added some context, it makes more sense. I had to delete your double post, though.

Church choir music? Are you lost? I can kind of see how the slow overlapping lines have a floaty heavenly sound, I guess? While this post doesn’t technically break any of our rules, I’m not sure this belongs on Floating Is Fun.

Double post of this post, deleting…

I’ve only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.

Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I’m here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)

NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren corrals the supply of fresh fruit that arrived August 25, 2015 on the Kounotori 5 H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV-5.) Visiting cargo ships often carry a small cache of fresh food for crew members aboard the International Space Station.

I know I’ve posted photos of ISS astronauts opening shipments of fruit a couple times before, but it never fails to put a smile on my face. I also like it when I come to Floating Is Fun and find that someone else posted a floaty thing here. Keep 'em coming!

Thank you for these #balloons , but around here, we link to our sources! Even if it’s a simple URL like https://www.ebineyland.com/works-02/#gallery_thumb_7159332291 , that’s enough to satisfy rule 2.

Hey @saucechan@ani.social can you find us some more sauce links?

That flying broom delivery service game I Kickstarted and posted here before is finally out on PC and Switch! I’m holding onto it until I can stream again, but as of half an hour ago, everyone else can get it now. The floaty vibes are strong with this one.
