Fallout Au Pama Mascot Thing ^_^

🐟 Opening up Mermay commissions! 🐟

For the rest of May, I will be fish-ifying your characters into mermaids/mermen because I am VERY MUCH in a designing mood. These will be worked on alongside my MC:SM merfolk requests so expect more of those too! :]

All designs will be fullbodies

Accepting OCs or fandom characters

Features and apparel may be changed

Closing these on May 31st

🫧 // Sketches - $15 // Line Art - $20+ // Colored - $30+ // 🫧

—Line Art comms will increase if the fish is an octopus or squid.

—Colored fulls will only be more expensive if the fish is complicated to color. (ex. a rainbow darter)

Payment will be via PayPal after I complete your sketch! Depending on when I can start, you can expect to have your final drawing anywhere from a few hours to 2-3 days.

Taking two slots at a time: Open / Open

If you are interested, you may DM or ask for my Discord! Comm sheet below:

Character: [reference image]

Fish: [optional- I am happy to assign them a fish based on color or personality]

Personality: [optional- short description]

Comm type: [sketch, lined, or colored full]

Extras: [optional- anything you’d like me to know, things to keep in mind, apparel you’d like me to add or change, etc]

hi med! idk if you know about her yet, but there's a palestinian woman named Noury over on twitter who's also a jjk fan!! people have rallied around her love for Gojo, and a bunch of artists have drawn Gojo with sunflowers in honour of her.

Noury recently lost an eye and injured her drawing hand severely in an attack on Gaza. She's gotten surgeries for both and is in recovery right now. JJKtwt is currently trying to come together and muster up donations for Gaza, it's an event that includes artists, writers etc. I was wondering if you could share this link to help drum up some fandom support :)

oh yes i do know noury, ive been following her for months now and her tweets break my heart. I hadn't seen this though!

Please consider participating, i know i have jjk moots : )

Check out the tweet and jjk fans please do spread this around! It would be lovely to see!

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

I love that three houses took 3 of their shortest girls - Edelgard, Hilda, and Annette - and made two of them axe wielders by default and gave the other a massive axe relic called Crusher

There's an idea I have from like 2019, back when I was still like active in the Detroit: Become Human fandom, where I was going to write the story of the Ionian Mission. I'm a science fiction enjoyer and I think it would've been cool to explore the space exploration, but also the knowledge that the revolution was going on at the same time. I might write it one day, but for now it's going to vibe as an idea in the back of my mind.

Don't stop talking about Palestine🇵🇸🍉

The new silly🙏

One of my absolute favorite parts of Supernatural Academy? The opportunity to have input on the series' wonderful NonBinary character, Jae, particularly where their visuals were concerned. I adore them so! FanArt was inevitable.☕️🎨
