Skeletondanc3r - Foolin' Around!

okay okay SO we all like to have fun and agree that hater catches feelings for wander after my fair Hatey n such.. but when do YOU think wander gets a crush on Hater? Developing strong feelings and such, do you think it’s in a certain episode? (〃･ω･)ﾉ~☆･ﾟ+｡*ﾟ･.+

Honestly? I believe that it probably really cropped up during the time they spent together in the pit, specifically when Hater was singing in his sleep.

Wander had flirted and swooned a bit before that, but it was mostly part of his redemption strategy. He was still slowly developing feelings, to the point where in The Date he had to pass his plan onto Sylvia because he knew he'd get too into it, but The Buddies made it so he was at least able to admit it to himself.

I mean, hearing Hater sing about love and friendship not even a year into his game? That definitely set Wander off!

Still, Wander knew he couldn't take things too far. He wouldn't dare dream of wedging himself into Hater's life once the skeleton was redeemed, but indulging in playing Cupid? That'd curb his little crush and redeem Hater in the end... Right?

what's your take on ai art

Do you think it'll take over traditional and digital artists :(

How could AI 'art' reasonably take over a commodity which by virtue of its existence is valuable purely for the context by which it's made? Even prior to the AI-surge there existed artists of extraordinary skill and output that simply lacked the artistic and cultural context to give their works the same derived-value as someone less technically-inclined. If technical skill were all that made art valuable to us, we'd have coined it a novelty centuries ago. Image generation will replace a certain category of art: the commercial, the disposable, and nothing more - and that is a monetary downturn for the artist. It's not as though companies, hell, even mid-tiered businesses ever truly lacked the means to buy and fund whatever creative projects they wished to fund prior the burgeoning of AI 'art', and though some have the vanity to try, it never, ever, works - without a discerning vision, they could generate a trillion pretty pictures and lack the eye to pick out the good from the bad between them. The value of art in a purely cultural or contextual sense has never been more significant, if not in direct opposition of this commercialization and laziness.

I LOVE FLUFFY MOTH

More of them at the start

A mouth-watering fuck-ton of hand angle references.

Hi! I just wanna say I love your artstyle. I'm such a big fan of pastel texture feel along with the characters, shapes and composition you make. Also I'm in love with your design of Narinder (bishop? pre canon I think?). Please keep up the good work!

Thank you! Sometimes artists need in these words. And I'm happy to know someone likes my silly things! Here a doodle of them both hehe

Ea, Our Second Chance (10b)

10b. Eucytobionta (part 2/3, unicellular diversity)

« The diversity of microscopic life was, and still is, overwhelming: from day one, each drop of water and grain of sand revealed a bewildering variety of forms. No more than on Earth, of course; don’t think for one moment that we fully understood the complexity of our mother world when we left it. We’re still making new discoveries from the few experimental models we brought over. Nevertheless, this represented the perfect opportunity to test out the new kind of science we were going to build. » – dean Sofia Torres, Tabula Rasa

I. Kingdom Monokarya (etym. “one kernel”). Unicellular, never colonial. Usually very small (<20 μm); only protonucleus (almost certainly secondary loss of paranuclei; polynucleate kingdoms do not form a clade). Usually flagellate, at least at one stage. Mostly endoparasites, within fluids of multicellular organisms (lymph, hydromuscular liquid); a few intracellular species. Outside of hosts they form capsules highly resistant to dehydration, heat, and radiations. Representative genera: Ankylococcus, Myoecia, Nesokaryon.

II. Kingdom Pogonocyta (etym. “bearded cell”). Unicellular, frequently colonial. Usually have superficial cilia or flagella. Often have two protonuclei, which they exchange in a form of sexuality not synchronous with reproduction (which occurs by fission or sequential fragmentation). Often very large species (commonly >0.1 mm with >20 paranuclei, Titanopogon reaches 8 mm in length); may have structures such as ciliate wheels, funnels, traps, stylets, articulated “jaws”, etc. to feed on smaller cells, as well as visual organs and permanent digestive vesicles. Eyespots may have developed from endo-symbiotic unicellular algae. Smaller species may form clonal colonies via incomplete fragmentation, e.g. Petrovella. A few aerial species are known (most within genus Uranocyton). Representative genera: Hekatokaryon, Hylonectes, Nanognathus, Petrovella.

III. Kingdom Ostracophyta (etym. “tile-plant”). Unicellular, rarely colonial. Rigid polyhedral shell, apparently formed by crystalline sulfonamide impregnating the cell net; pseudopodia emerge from gaps, usually regularly placed, sometimes at the vertices of the shell. Macroscopic needleweed (“Hyalophyta”, e.g. Arslanophyton). In the colonial forms (e.g. Endolithus), the shells may fuse and trap sediment forming stromatolite-like structures, pseudopodia may connect cell bodies. Usually phototrophs or mixotrophs (= energy from both sunlight and organic matter). All major forms of frostblight (white, purple, mealy, etc.) are ectoparasitic Ostracophyta with invasive root-like pseudopodia, but do not form a single clade. Representative genera: Arslanophyton, Astrapocyton, Endolithus, Phytopachne.

IV. Kingdom Colloplasmi (etym. “glue-form”). Unicellular, almost (?) exclusively colonial. Lobate cells, able to move by circulating cytosol through the lobes. Adhesive cell envelope, apparently rich in glycosyl-sulfonamides, which may form a common matrix for colonies. Sometimes mineral particles are incorporated (origin of Lithobionta?); mushroom-like, coral-like, or grass-like colonies both in water and on land, with specialized fruiting bodies. Often the colonies liquefy or “evaporate” when disturbed or damaged (special toxic cell morph in Ceratoides). Saprotrophs, herbivores, carnivores; unconfirmed case of a Cordyceps-like neural parasite. Representative genera: Ceratoides, Danaë, Eidocarpus, Xanthoplasma.

V. Kingdom Lithobionta (etym. “stone-life”). Multicellular. Forming pumice-like porous mineral structures; “living boulders”. Representative genera: Lithobius, Pliniella.

VI. Kingdom Haematophyta* (etym. “blood-plants”). Multicellular. Photosynthetic organisms with zinc-based pigments; “red plants”. Representative genera: Corynetes, Hypogaea, Tomophylla, Tribaculum.

VII. Kingdom Fuscophyta (etym. “dark plants”). Multicellular. Photosynthetic organisms, methanogens; “black plants”. Representative genera: Cystophyton, Dendrocystis, Nepheloecia.

VIII. Kingdom Enantiozoa (etym. “mirror-animals”). Multicellular. Mostly motile chemoheterotrophs; Ean “animals”. Representative genera: Akkadia, Dendrocephalus, Prosopogyrus, Semaphorus.

* Named “Erythrophyta” in other publications. The two names are to be considered synonymous, when defined as “the most exclusive clade including both Maurophytum purpureum and Corynetes corynetes”.

What if the reason Miles thinks marriage is a sham is because same-sex marriage isn't legal in Japan yet? 🤔

I went back to that episode to watch this scene and it isn't even clear if this is a side door or not. This could be (from the bed's perspective) on the left side of his speakers OR it could just be the front door with screwed up alignment-

THIS.

IS.

INSANE

Should the fact that I'm counting increments in alarm clock times and working nearly unnoticeable continuity errors into lore be concerning or is it a good thing I'm doing my homework?

Should I write a paragraph on how it's possible Lord Hater's closet door overlaps with his bedroom entrance in multiple separate episodes?

(Also happens in The Prisoner when we're first introduced to his room)
