@onenicebugperday Update on the spidey! I named her Itsy Betsy after @justletmeon12 's suggestion :3

Itsy Betsy lives in my bedroom perched happily between two curtains over a lamp. When the lamp is on, she casts a wonderfully spooky shadow, especially at night!

I got a spider from my local Spirit Halloween, but she was sorely lacking in spidey features. (And a pretty bow :3)

So I added extra eyes (She only had the two largest eyes to start with, I forgot to take a "before" pic),

chelicerae,

and pedipalps!

She lives in my car now, for Halloween spirit and smiles!

Ohohoho I'd recognize that eye pattern anywhere she's a wolf spider! And she's literally perfect I love her bow. If I saw this in someone's car irl I'd lose my mind

A late submission for @kisames-corner Kisame Birthday Bash 2024, but technically this is really for Kisame Week 2023!

Prompt: A Lie Told Often Enough Becomes the Truth

The text is quotes from the miniseries Chernobyl (which is an awesome show btw)

This question came up two years ago in my discord. I answered it with a standard Blighty wiki dive :3 Here's my answer in all its idiocy:

2 in standard description of the phrase, as in “chugga chugga choo choo.”

After that, the number of “chugga’s” depends on the model of the train. Obviously Maglevs and electric trains don’t “chugga,” they “nyoom,” so we’re talking steam locomotives. With steam trains, we got your three basic types: non-articulated, duplex, and articulated.

Now with your non-articulated types, or straight or rigid trains, these are your oldest models. They don’t take turns too well with their rigid frames, and they’re heavy mammas, thus they’ll take a lot to get started. So you need a lot of “chugga’s” to get going before you can blast off those “choo choo’s!” At least 20. And with that heavy frame, the “chugga’s” come in sets of four, with the meter being “CHUGga chugga, chugga chugga” to emphasize the real effort of moving all that steel and iron.

Duplex steam engines, which are a kind of non-articulated frame, also require a lot of “chugga’s.” Now the defining characteristic of Duplex frame is that it divides the wheels’ driving force by using two pairs of cylinders. So this design has its drawbacks - unlike the four-cylinder and three-cylinder designs, two-cylinder locomotives have balance issues and tend to surge back and forth as they chug along. Not only does this mean a lot of damage for the train tracks, it also means you’re faced with a rather severe speed limit. If you go too fast with all that back-and-forth rocking, your driving wheels can leave the track! So bottom line: duplex locomotives need more “chugga’s.” Minimum of 30 “chugga’s.”

Finally, we have the articulated steam locomotives. So these are the more “modern” steam engines, relatively speaking. Because of their flexible frames, they can take those tighter turns, woo! Many articulated locomotives have more than one engine unit, so this means more “chugga’s!” Of course, how many “chugga’s” depends on the exact model of articulated train - not all of them have multiple engines. But! In general, articulated means more “chugga’s” so you’re looking at 35-40 “chugga’s.”

In summary: the number of “chugga’s” depends on the model of steam locomotive. There are three basic frames.

Non-articulated: 20 “chugga’s”

Duplex: 30 “chugga’s” (watch your speed!)

Articulated: 35-40 “chugga’s”

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I have now learned that this birdy's name is Fruitloop.

My friend the sassy rainbow lorikeet from Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia.

This birdy was SO SASSY. They would strike beautiful poses for me, but as soon as I raised my camera to take a picture, they’d flick out of them to groom or scritch or JUMP. ON MY HEAD.

y'all remember this iconic Death Note scene, right??

(static art below the cut)

totally how it happened😇

#death note #lawlight #irreverentGIFs #gif #YES #YES YES YES #YES ZETS #AMAZING #YESYESYEYSES #I mean- #*cough* #this is a perfectly oridinary gif of that scene #nothing unusual about it #nope #straight from the show #yup

[blightowl]

Wait

Okay wait

So at first glance, my brain misinterpreted that bird's treat stick as cigarette. Then the ol' grey matter keyboard mashed until I surfaced with this thought:

"What if we brought back those fancy cigarette holders as birb perches"

Anyway, I drew it @todaysbird

(The holders would still be tubes, but obviously for blowing birb-safe bubbles and reusable straw-drinking, not smoking.)

Today’s bird is this parakeet

#today's bird #parakeet #digital art #my blighty art #cigarette holder revival as birdy holder #maybe for birdy who's not comfortable yet on person's hand #or maybe their person's skin is delicate‚ like an elderly person's skin #either way #this is all silly anyway #birb #silly birb

Can you do it?' #'Sir the scientist is ready for transport...' #'Miles please she's outside the turbolift door just do it man' #my blighty text posts

Quick sketch to show what I’m thinking of for the rest of Solandri’s design. At least so far.

Noticing it’s looking a little sphinx-ish rn, but hey, it’s working

#oddosprey #original character #solandri #amazing design #beautiful #love the art #the ears!!!! #i love the long ears #with the earrings that parallel the shape of those ears but in a different direction #very cool #I would definitely think twice before taking this fella in a fight #if I were a fantasy fighty character that is #as regular squishy human I would probably do the 'BIG KITTY' thing and be killed #because... because... pat the big feather friend #give him scritches #inspect his big teef
