bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

With the KH character files out, I can’t believe it’s canonical that Riku succumbed to darkness in KH1 cuz he didn’t know how to deal with his gay ass feelings toward Sora

the only time it was actually funny and entertaining when a "ship" was "confirmed" by someone who worked on the show was when someone asked rene auberjonois at a panel what the nature of quark and odo's relationship was and he replied "sexual." without elaboration

We set up key colors for each of the characters […] For example, Jaeyoung has yellow, red, and orange; those sort of warmer colors and lighting that are incorporated in the framing of his scenes and spaces. And on the other hand, for Sangwoo, he has cold and stiff colors like white, blue, and black in his framing and spaces. So like in Sangwoo’s room, blue light is constantly coming in through his window, and we included a white desk lamp for lighting design. As for Jaeyoung, in his studio he has a pink neon light and orange stand lamps.

When the two of them have some sort of emotional exchange and fall for each other, the other person’s colors and lights will permeate into their individual framings. For example, in episode 4, the moment that Jaeyoung sees Sangwoo with wet hair, there’s a slight blue light coming in from behind him. And on the other side, there’s an orange streetlamp light coming in through the window behind Sangwoo. And in the scene where they call each other in episode 6, Jaeyoung’s taking the call in a bar; there’s blue light that casts on his face. That bar space originally had red lighting, but our lighting director changed it all to blue. On the other hand, for Sangwoo, he’s next to his window with the streetlight, and orange light casts on his face.

Emotionally, the two of them are dyeing one another [with their own colors].

Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:

Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.

And she is freaking GORGEOUS!

As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.

First, and most obvious, her size:

This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill. 

Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.

“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”

Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.

Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you. 

If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.  

To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.

…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

the most insane double casting i’ve heard of is ophelia and horatio being played by the same actress. the implications of that drive me crazy

[hartknyx]

there’s a lot of good arguments to be made for who the most dramatic person in kingdom hearts is

but if your final answer isn’t riku “we’ll be the darkness” “you could say I am… the biggest nobody of them all” “catches a strike raid mid-spin while blindfolded and falling to the ground head first after jumping off of a building” kingdomhearts, you’re wrong

Inktober 14th! Prompt: fierce

Didn’t feel like colouring this time heh

[ID: two images of an Indian ink drawing, with washed ink shading, of Worf and Jadzia Dax from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The second image is a close up of the first. The two are in the middle of a Baleth sparring match, and Jadzia seems to push back Worf. She leans in close to Worf and looks him in the eye with a bold grin. Worf stares back at her with a little bashful smile. /End ID]
