Historical Context Is Of Course Very Useful For Important Things Like Politics And Science And Everything,

Historical context is of course very useful for important things like Politics and Science and everything, but will also open your eyes to things like, uh... the way the clothing/textile/crafting industries try to use the word "natural" as an excuse to sell shoddy and bad quality goods and make you think that's normal.

God knows there are worse things going on in the world, but it really pisses me off when I see companies advertising "Real Shell/Pearl buttons!" like that's supposed to be some upscale selling point, and the buttons in question are the thinnest, roughest, most crudely-made buttons in existence... 🙄😒 "But they're made from Natural Materials! You can't expect Natural Materials to look refined and consistent like synthetic ones!" They are lying to you. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU! And I know this because I've seen "real shell buttons" from 100 or even 50 years ago. And most of them are sturdy and smoothly polished, of a consistent thickness, and sometimes even finely carved. The buttons on nice men's dress shirts? Those are the cheap, plastic IMITATIONS of what people expected actual mother-of-pearl buttons to look like! "Natural" isn't an excuse! Your product is cheap and badly and lazily made! And I'm so sick of this, because I see it EVERYWHERE. "Linen-look" has become shorthand for "coarsely woven fabric with visible slubs" and that drives me CRAZY because do you KNOW what kinds of linen I have seen??? Antique linen so light and fine and smooth you can't even SEE the weave unless you magnify it!!! A fragment of a linen damask tablecloth so smooth and glossy, it looks like SILK? 😭 (On that note, "dupioni silk" is so roughly woven that it would have been considered hardly fit to sell a century ago) "This fabric is woven of Natural Materials, so imperfections will be inevitable!" 🙃 No! 😀 You just made it cheaply and sloppily, and that was your choice! 😊

I was just thinking of an au where for some reason an antagonist has Shen Qingqiu captured (idk maybe it’s Huan Hua palace au or maybe it’s just a random cannon fodder villain I didn’t think that far) preferably with multiple witness (like other peak lords and Luo Binghe) for extra ✨drama✨ and they do some ritual to harness the power of a god that has to do with chaining the nearest god and using its power, and yea. Now Shen Qingqiu is unexpectedly and inexplicably chained up by the ritual that latched onto the system and the system is glitching with error messages for all to see and he’s gotta find someway to explain this without everyone walking away thinking he’s a god.

Project Monsoon  Clever colorful street art that only appears when it rains

After the Superhydrophobic Street Art, which uses a superhydrophobic coating to create designs which appear only in the rain, here is the Project Monsoon, which uses the same concept, this time with hydrochromic painting, which reveals its color only when wet. This amazing and clever project was designed by a Korean team of designers, in collaboration with Pantone, to provide color to the streets of Seoul during the rainy season, while paying tribute to the Korean culture. A brilliant idea! Source: ufunk

Howdy! Your work is a huge inspiration for me, and I think I finally want to take on a big animation idea that's been living in my head rent free for years. Do you have any advice for a total beginner who wants to dive straight into animation? Thanks so much, have a great year!

hey there!  I actually put together a playlist of animation/storyboarding resources on youtube that might be helpful here!  featuring suggestions of free/cheap programs, tutorials for those programs, and some basic info/exercises!  I especially recommend anything about the 12 Principles of Animation and Glen Keane Animates a Scene, those were pretty formative for me!

mindset-wise: play, have fun, forget about perfection!  deciding to do something you don’t know how to do is a great way to learn how to do it!

This Is Lungs.

This is Lungs.

Long story short, I recently got Among Us {as in, a couple of days ago}, and I’m already quite obsessed. In the first game I played with my mates, I set my name to “Lungs” {simply just to be cursed} and instantly fell in love with pink and the egg hat. From that day on, I’ve been using to same name, colour and hat.

But, I’ve heard about these things called “Among Usonas” and people just making Among Us OCs in general which is really exciting. It’s always good to have a highly creative fandom, that from what I’ve seen, isn’t really toxic at all. Makes my little, autistic brain happy when I can engage with an obsession through art. Cough, Ghost fan art. Cough, Will Wood fan art. Cough, OC art.

So this is a little bit about Lungs!

His nickname comes from both his strangeness and how he could be considered the “lungs” of the ship since he’s mostly tasked with clearing things out in O2 and is often the first man on the job when O2 malfunctions. However, he is very much paranoid when fixing the reactor which can make him look suspicious. Speaking of paranoia; Lungs is very much scared of the dark and will rush his way down to electrical if the power shuts off.

About his outfit. Lungs strongly dislikes it when he’s made to wear any other colour. He does not perceive pink as a feminine colour, more of a colour that suits his personality, which is why he becomes pretty frustrated when other crew mates accidentally think he might be a female. When Lungs makes his breakfast, he always ends up flinging a fried egg on his helmet and goes abaout the day wondering why he smells so lovely. He only realises at night when the egg starts to go off. However, when he wakes up, since he has the memory of a goldfish, he will not recall the egg and teh cycle will repeat. In summary, he constantly is egged.

If you haven’t gathered already, Lungs is a little bit stupid. He is often fooled into putting trust into someone, is framed or even frames himself. This gets our little pink spacebean into plenty of dilemmas, despite not being an imposter. But like they say, ignorance is bliss. Lungs, despite being a complete moron, is happy go lucky and a straight up loveable idiot. He has a very fatherly attitude and will protect even the silliest of things, such as the egg he keeps as a friend, convinced that one day it will hatch, despite it being 3D printed. Lungs just loves to make friends with anything and anyone. He’s just happy to be here.

Lungs is a short and lanky gentleman. He’s probably the shortest man on the ship. He doesn’t really mind this, and doesn’t try to compensate for his height by being confident... because he’s not confident at all, but also because he quite likes being small.

So basically he’s cute.
