Your sixth most recent emoji is how your guardian angel feels about you
Well this is certainly unexpected- uhh, hello everybody! It's been a while since I posted, but I bring some good news with me. I have one new metal cardbot, and a very familiar face- but shiny and brand new >_< First up, the May 2025 Dodger Redesign!! Honestly, I'm not unhappy with the first version, I only decided to redesign them because lately I've been practicing mecha, and it only felt right to give them a fresh new look. (You can tell that I got lazy very quick- I didn't feel like doing a fancy reference sheet I'm sorryyy ;;)
Next, we have my newest oc, Thorned Valor. I'm sure you can tell that by her little loin cloth, she is a Star Guardian. I'm happy to explain her lore, but I can only type so much on one post. I might do a lore dump on them at a later date, but for now here she is ^^
certified mega ambler train sketch moment
today i found out that when monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter, all the ones that go across the middle of lake superior suddenly stop going south and go west for five miles and then continue south. which really freaked scientists out cos like What is in the Middle of Lake Superior what do Butterflies know that We Dont Is This The End Times etc. anyway turns out about a hundred million years ago there was a mountain there and the butterflies still think they gotta fly around it. classic butterflies
im so serious about this but if youre autistic and especially if youre chronically ill creative labour cannot be your only way to relax. working on a creative project is still working. take time to do nothing. its good for you i promise.
All of you who have talked about how you fear bugs less due to Hollow Knight or other reasons, y'all are the real ones. Thank you for being nicer to our insect allies.
If your fears have not been helped, that's also okay of course.
All I'm saying is that if you can appreciate the sleek and graceful segmented form of the Pure Vessel, perhaps you can also appreciate a praying mantis delicately cleaning itself...
TIGER MOTH!!

It's hilarious to me how Colossal Biosciences wants to be movie-version John Hammond but are 100% book-version John Hammond. In the Jurassic Park novel, it's very clear: John Hammond is a con artist who gives people an illusion, not the truth. He knew from the beginning that what he was making weren't dinosaurs, but he didn't care because he had a story to sell. He wasn't just "filling in gaps" with the frog dna, his scientists were basically making things up from whole cloth and he had no pretence about it- but he also knew what the public wanted to believe.
Case in point: https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/
These are not dire wolves. These are GMO gray wolves. Dire wolves aren't even in the same genus as gray wolves, and we know this from genetics.
What Colossal is doing is scamming the public. They want you to believe that they can pull off miracles. They can't. It's the flea circus where everything is mechanised, but because you want to believe, you "see" the fleas. They might be good at genetic modification and they might be good at hyping themselves up, but they haven't de-extincted the dire wolf. They didn't activate mammoth genes in a mouse. They are lying to you and they're going to keep doing it. Don't believe the hype.
Got tagged this and thought it'd be fun to do ^^
It's too serene. Not enough massive sentient robots LOL but I do love nature and space. And butterflies. And moths. 🎉
I don't really have anyone in mind to tag, but if this pops up on anyone's fyp then feel free to do one for yourself! The link is in the first post btw
