He's Hungry. 😔

🦴 Here you go guys, photos of my skeleton (Cat. Cat's skeleton, not mine, lmao) and a couple of fun facts about the process of skeleton-making and animal anatomy 🦴

I put them under the cut just in case some of yall are sensitive and don't want to see it 👇

Felis catus or domestic cat

He was a male british shorthair, a bit fat but not obese. I don't quite remember if we concluded the cause of death during autopsy but the dissection was informative (I'd post the photos but I'm afraid it would be too much 😬)

So here's a photo of mid-process assembling:

We used wires and instant glue. Gotta be careful with this stuff cuz it sticks to your fingers like crazy (and yes, there's a cow leg lying around in the background).

The one who was assembling was yours truly and I wasted SO MUCH TIME looking at the anatomy textbook to set the pose and limbs properly, but in the end it paid off. Our curator said that it was the most anatomically accurate cat posture out of all cat skeletons our uni museum had (yippee!)

(Also notice how gray the skeleton is compared to the previous photos. That's because when removing meat from the bones, we boil them and they tend to go gray, so in the final stage the skeleton needs to be whitened in hydrogen peroxide)

If you look closely at the skull you might notice that the jaws are not aligned properly — that's because my groupmate glued them the wrong way :p You need to be VERY precise in how you glue stuff, it doesn't separate easy afterwards.

Now see these two small bones right here? They are the collarbones. Fun fact about them is that cats and many other animals either have them reduced in size or don't have them at all! It depends on the species, but the main purpose of their absence is to help animals' front paws move more freely. In case of cats — to be more agile while climbing trees, fitting through small holes or walking on thin surfaces.

So naturally, these tiny bones just... reside in the muscle, not connected to literally anything.

And in this case our skeleton, I dare say, is very special, because, unlike the ones in the museum, it has collarbones in display. While removing the meat we (well, I) decided to not get rid of them and instead come up with a way to somehow include them in the final product. I came up with the idea of gluing them to transparent poles made of UV-curing glue. And as you can see, it worked pretty well 😄

All in all, it was a complicated, long but fun and very interesting process (nothing like my mute swan skeleton). This kitty-cat is gonna live forever in our museum as a display of hard work and dedication 🩷

🌌🪛 DOCTOR WHO MENTIONED! YES!!

Sketches with Professor Puzzles and Ms. Puzzles because why not. I'm sure they would have a very funny friend dynamic! [NOT SHIP!!! REALLY!!!]

They dance because why not? (I think Mr. Puzzles can dance. Miss Puzzles can dance and I think Professor Puzzles should be able to do something like that too.)

to @jovialoddity with love! 🍓

BOO! FACE REVEAL! (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！(⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠0⁠*⁠)⁠ﾉ (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)!

"Damn, it's flipping wimdy frozing out there" — I says while frost envelops my face and everything around me 😐

But yah, that's how I look. Partially. (Cuz I don't really like my face lmao-)

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT PC VERSION OF TUMBLR HAS A LOT MORE OPTIONS THAN MOBILE APP. WHAT.

How did I not know about it sooner?? I am so making changes when I get home, istg

Don't read if you don't want to - it's just me freaking out- 👌

(another streak of incoherent thoughts and feelings because I want to f$%# scream and cry and laugh and run an- omgomgomgkomg- )

oh my god....oh my god....oh ... mu god.... What is happening.... I.... the guy-....

Talk with each other, come to an agreement - aka confess to each other, proceed to joke, joke terribly, then proceed to SCARE EACH OTHER TF OUT for a moment (me have a metaphorical heart attack- ), panic, apologise, talk it out, set boundaries, come to an agreement, apologise, talk, hug, (via text, cus different cities- ), cry (my part), share personal bad experience ab some aforementioned things, understand eachother, hug, forehead kith, cry- (my part again- )

All in all

I got a soulmate

I still can't comprehend it-. Like, what the actual f-

What's going on-, how-, why-,

How did I deserve it??

What??

I never thought I could ever find someone who, as I call it, I would 'click with'. Turns out I did. What the what-

I feel like "Left brain and Right brain" by Bo Burnham right now. My left, analytical brain is trying to calmly comprehend what is happening right now and assess the situation rationally. But my right, emotional brain doesn't care atm:

She's running around happily, stimming and crying.

Yup.

I got a soulmate.

What the fu-

Reblog if your moots are goated

📏 Okay, so out of curiosity I've decided to compare the heights of a couple of characters in the RTV au

So here's Nicknack. As @runrabitrunrunrun stated, she's somewhere between 5'7-5'9 feet. My oc Nira is next to her. I haven't really decided on her height at first, but now I think she's approximately 3'7-4'0 ft tall (without ears)

AND THEN THERE'S THIS MF!! (/aff💕)

gahDAYMN HE'S TALL (⁠☉_☉')

I mean, I knew @4thwallbreakerdraws2 said he was tall, but not this tall. cheezits (⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)
