#06.04.23 #3315 #there has been very little progress in both these things #also imdb mention. i dont have any like secret acting career or anythin #its just that at some point somebody just dumped the entire credits of a thing i animated on on there #so somehow a very empty page with my name was on there and i've noticed that oh hey i can fairly easily ask to add more things i worked on #(not many things) ( but eh ) #( i will not give any extra details )

That is all thank you

ANSWERED: Art credit for da first Ren meme goes to @meo-eiru!!

BUT HELPPPPP THESE ARE SO FUNNY JDSGJH T_T The Moth meme + Uno meme had me CACKLING lmaoooooooo

#This has been happening a lot recently (and is by no means directed to OP) but!! Just a reminder to credit artists if you use their art!! #And it's always better to ask for permission beforehand; some artists don't like havin their art shared / reposted / reuploaded / etc. #They put in effort to create content for you to consume; so it's only fair to give them da proper credit and exposure in return!! #''Credits to the original creator'' and ''I found the image on google / pinterest / etc.'' isn't a good enough excuse >.< #If you can't find the creator; don't share it. And at the very least try to reverse image search to locate the source #But!!!! With all that being said: #Everyone is welcome to use the official 14DWY sprites/game assets without asking for my permission or giving credit! #I personally think it's ok because game assets can be found /within/ the game itself; it's not like folks have to go on a search hunt-- #--to find a specific artist. They can find the art/asset within the game without having to do the extra steps. #If that makes any sense?? #Like the 14DWY style is fairly recognisable if you're familiar with the game; folks don't need to reverse image search for anything. #Anyways I'm done ranting in da tags #I might make this an actual post in the future because; again; this has been happening a lot recently in the 14dwy tag/my askbox #and all these talented artists don't deserve this ;n; #Plus it shouldn't be my job to be the one giving credit..... T_T /lh /nm #OKOK I'm done for realsies now #Thank you OP for making these memes!! And sorry for ranting on what's supposed to be a lighthearted post dghjdgjhsg ^^; #💜 — 14dwy memes. #💌 — answered. #💖 — 14 days with queue.

for the dragon gifs post you reblogged, could you elaborate on your tags? as someone who loves speculative/fictional biology, id be interested in hearing how actual gliding wings would work for dragons, if youre okay with talking about it of course :]

Gosh, basically.... the whole wing shape is wrong for gliding

Firstly, a majority of the dragons' wings do not have any base to them. base being the membrane that should go down their side

By far the worst offender seems to be arrax here, but like. all of the dragons have NO membrane going from their arms down their sides, the only one who appears to have more normal wings is syrax

It's got more base to the wings so this gif looks slightly more natural to me but not by much

NOW,, my disclaimer. I am not an expert in aerodynamics. So I am just going off what I know personally

First off, the wing shape in most of these dragons is elliptical (like in sparrows) which is good for powered flight (flapping), and when they ARE flapping, it does look very good!! Very powerful strokes etc.

However, because they are missing that base at the wing, a lot of the energy of the downstroke would simply just escape. Wings in general work by "trapping" wind underneath them, by making the air on top roll by at a different speed than the air underneath and generate lift that way, but if there's nothing TO lift... then it won't work

Animals who actually glide all have very specialized wings for it.

Eagles, vultures, condors, etc: all of them have IMMENSE wings, and they almost cannot do powered flight (at least not on the same level that sparrows can), they rely a lot on updrafts

Their wings are all very wide, but very rectangular!! the base of their wings is basically the same width as the rest of the wing, generally

This is true as well for SEABIRDS which are all gliding experts. Seabirds have VERY not wide wings, but they make up for that in length, and this very specialized shape they have allows them to glide for literal WEEKS without needing to land

Basically, I suppose it's something of a tradeoff? Even in these birds the base is incredibly proportionate to the shape of their wings and body, and they depend on wind currents over the ocean specifically. They've evolved for that

alithographica has this VERY GOOD little chart of what different functions wings can perform depending on their shape

I personally think the got dragon's wings are incredibly disproportionate, looking at wings on any other animal it immediately stands out that a whole chunk of wing is simply... gone. For no good reason other than aesthetic I think

And besides the anatomical error, they don't have a clear purpose to their shape, they kinda do everything all the time and its jarring to see on otherwise incredibly designed creatures and its also an immense shame. It would have been so cool to see different dragons have different flying techniques (the only different one we get is caraxes with his wing legs, but from what ive seen)

#ask #anon #wings #long post #answering this asap because im fucking foaming at the mouth over wings #im so passionate about this no one in fucking fiction ever of any media of all time does wings correctly and it makes me explode and die #literally the first thing i always ever look at when theres new dragon media is the wing shape #if they get it right its an automatic 10 #PROPS TO GAME OF THRONES DRAGONS FOR HAVING THE PATAGIAL MEMBRANE THOUGH #THAT SHIT GETS NOT DRAWN OR ADDED TO CREATURES SO MUCH AND ITS SO HORRID TO SEE #BUT ITS SUCH A CRUCIAL DETAIL!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!! WHY THE REST OF THE WING IS WRONG!!! IF THEY GOT THAT RIGHT!!!! #ITS LIKE GOING TO AN EXAM AND ACING THE EXTRA CREDIT AND HANDING THE REST IN BLANK #I DONT GET IT

this is the first poem i've written in a while, and although it's not perfect, it's very dear to me. titled revision of the fourth of july.

#my writing #first post? lol #admittedly i sat on this one for a long time and despite having read it over many a time and knowing there's still something it's lacking #i can't bring myself to make any changes. this is 'revision' and she's said all she has had to say. maybe the lack is just an inherent part #of this poem. that i can't make this complete because the poem dictates that i'm not. that i lie and lack...haha #original poem #original poetry #sapphic poetry #wlw poetry #okay. that's enough exposure tags i think. #i submitted this to my school's art zine for extra credit in my creative writing class so i hope that no one actually reads said zine #or that this doesn't reach any of my schoolmates who also happen to be on here. lol

damn they were not kidding about students not reading the syllabus

#this is not a dig at them! #to be clear this means it is on me to announce all relevant deadlines/policies directly as well as on the syllabus #i am not expecting them to look at the syllabus (at least not any more) #and i think its kind of a dick move to hide those 'if you've read this far email me a picture of a cat for extra credit' things in there #but i was severely underestimating how much students have been subject to the messaging that the syllabus is just meaningless officialese #which. to be fair. it is. #mine

What's in my bag?

Theo: uses his college backpack to lug around his things. normally keeps his bag full of study materials, but there are glimpses of him in his journal, his addictions, and the wildflowers he takes home.

Matthias: doesn't use a bag. he’ll keep his phone with him but there’s little else he’d have on him.

tagged by @rollingsim and i seriously loved this picrew so thank you!!! gonna tag @wldestluv-rs, @stinkrascal, @omgkayplays, @rottengurlz, @void-imp, @raiiny-bay, @fizzytoo, @bunmou, @birdietrait, @stellarfalls, and @pralinesims!

#good afternoon <3!! just answering two tag things really quickly and then i'm gonna look for a mesh flipping tutorial #also i always wanna tag more people than i normally do in these oc things but don’t want to bother people… #if you’re someone who wouldn’t mind me tagging them lmk!!! i’d love to pass this stuff around to more people #river dipping #oc extras #theodore doe #matthias evanoff #echthroi #theo's bag is so nice and it's always filled to the brim... he has heavyyyy textbooks in there always!! but there weren't any in the picrew #but okay so we've got his memory journal and his school laptop. cigarettes and some unmarked pills. a dandelion he liked the color of <3 #his phone and some wired earbuds so it's obvious he's not listening if anyone tries to talk to him (he's not actually listening to anything #cash bc he's not allowed to have a credit card of his own... also the key to his apartment!! #as for matthias... there's really not much to say #but matthias keeps his phone and the key to whichever car he's driving in one of his pockets #his gloves he'll leave in the car or he'll just keep wearing them #handkerchief from one of his inner pockets if he's got a suit jacket on and mints if he needs them #there are rare times he uses a driver so sometimes there's no key with him and it's just his phone

okay before I lose my thought (MASSIVE Rise of the Beasts spoilers re: Unicron)

in my opinion rotb handled Unicron perfectly.

when I first watched the full trailer & saw Unicron my second thought was "oh no" (my first being "YOOOOOO") because in the bumblebee-rotb timeline it seemed extremely early to be involving him. I went into the movie almost resigning myself to the thought that it would end with Unicron being destroyed & never seen again, because he was advertised as the main Big Bad.

but the truth is, Scourge was the main Big Bad. and while Unicron made several appearances and had more than one line, the primary thing he did was loom over the narrative like the slow approach of death - he did more than haunting the narrative, I think, but aside from his interactions with the Terrorcons and his arrival at the final scene, he was largely uninvolved in the main conflict, and was in the end defeated momentarily rather than destroyed.

what we did see of him was always displays of power: the destruction of the Maximals' homeworld, his ability to supply the battlefield with endless Terrorcon footsoldiers, his mindscape-meeting with Scourge wherein he tortured Scourge for failing him from Primus knows how far away. hell, even Scourge, Battletrap, and Nightbird themselves were living proof of Unicron's power - ruthless, near-invincible supersoldiers who've killed enough Cybertronians and Cybertronian-adjacent lifeforms to steal and wear their badges like a bounty hunter collects trophies. on-screen all of this is done through Unicron's power, the extension of his will - and not, notably, by Unicron himself.

this wasn't Unicron's moment to shine, only to be destroyed so early in the narrative.

this was the moment that painted a target on Earth, and on Optimus Prime. this was the moment that established how Unicron is accustomed to taking thralls from other worlds while also killing off the ones he already had, laying the potential groundwork for Galvatron or even Sideways. this was the moment that showed off just how powerful Unicron and his allies are without cramming it into the first fifteen minutes of another movie down the line, and when he appears again we'll already know just how fucked the protagonists are.

this was the setup to Unicron's moment to shine. though I'd hoped Unicron would get more screentime, rotb ultimately handled Unicron with the severity he deserves; for that, it was perfect.

sidenote: I got very big "then perish" vibes at the end of the movie, when Unicron said smth like "think about this, Prime. I could give you anything you want." and Optimus responded with "then DIE!!". it was dramatic in the moment but remembering it got me a good laugh

#rotb spoilers #lil technical note regarding my theater experience: i wanted to see it in an xd theater bc the video quality is higher #but the only xd theater showing it for the next several days is the one with d-box seats #if you don't know what d-box seats are they're supposed to provide a 4d experience by shaking you around #but in doing so they inevitably vibrate the entire rest of the theater #which also makes the audio extremely bass-y #one of the given windows when the d-box seats would go off was ANY TIME unicron talked or was at all onscreen #so my movie experience was a lot like [Unicron: appear] [PERMEATING VIBRATION] [IMPOSSIBLY LOUD BASS RUMBLE] #i wanna watch it in a non d-box theater so i can better enjoy the soundtrack bc i caught in credits they used unicron's og theme from '86 #but overall this is not a complaint. bc it did make me feel like i was up close to unicron in real #and i sure hope it didnt awaken anything in me (it did i already know it did. im aroace but i would unironically seduce unicron /gen) #transformers #rotb #rise of the beasts spoilers #rise of the beasts #extra tags so i can find this later

Oh, the canine guardian au is so cute. How involved is Izuku in the classes? Does he listen to the teachers, even tho he can't do the schoolwork?

Him biting through a steel beam after Direct Eyecontact is so funny, does he join the heroics lessons with his quirk after that?

He listens to classes! He's trying his best to be educated, even if hes stuck like a dog. He doesn't wanna be a high school drop out! Even if the reason he dropped out was death!

He has a grand time joining the heroics lessons, but hes not allowed to be on a team with anyone because hes just obnoxiously good. The only downside is he can't communicate back, but he makes up for it by somehow having like 5 quirks. The teachers think hes demonic but Nezu thinks he's the best and has given him clearance only outstripped by his own. No one is getting rid of the dog on his watch.

#nezu like 'this quirked dog is my favourite student' #'he's not even enrolled???' #'jokes on you he is and he's topping his class on the extra credit he gets for being much more useful than any of you.' #asks #canine guardian au #bnha au

so frustrated bc I need to break up w my personal trainer fr But he's experienced w helping people recover from injury and I want him to coach me through getting back into lifting after top surgery

#oisín.txt #oisín.n #i don't even have a surgery date yet tho. they haven't called to let me know if there's any openings #i saw my trainer for the first time in like 5 months on the 3rd bc his schedule had literally allowed no overlap w mine #and i was billed out for a bunch of sessions i couldn't schedule and he kept forgetting to update my workout routine like #just to extend the workout for extra days in the app so i could track it. not even add anything like I'd send him multiple msgs like #hey zach can you schedule some more workouts. and he'd be like oh yeah sure and then not do it #and then left me on read when i asked about afternoon availability until After I'd paused my membership and then he was super apologetic. #anyway i finally came back bc i wanted to prep for surgery better #and today was my second session back and he literally canceled on me ten min before the session when I'd already taken off work #and walked there. which. thank god i was able to leave work early instead of lyfting bc if i'd put $40 on my credit card #for no fucking reason i'd have lost my entire mind #he did refund the session and credit me for a free one but i know it's just bc he doesn't want me to immediately dump him again but. #zach. buddy.

I'm curious is it normal across USAmerica to buy classroom supplies like tissues and wipes and stuff for the classroom as a student

#like I remember the first day we'd collect everything on the teachers desk and the teacher would give us extra credit or something #this only happened in elementary/middle school for me #cause wtf was up with that #it's not any better to make teachers pay for it but like 😭 #why didn't the school just provide that stuff? 😭😭
