Why do people ship Malik and Vlad.

Malik is like 300+

Vlad is like 17 when he meets Malik

He hates Malik it's kinda shows throughout season 4 and definitely didn't trust Malik when he found out they were brother.

Yeah and you can't use the exuse "but they weren't actually siblings that whole time" vlad only find out the truth during the blood match episode. "seems I'm not a dracula after all" and Malik literally screaming "VLAD IS NOT MY BROTHER" and then dying a few minutes later. So it wouldn't make sense from him to just magically gain feelings for him during that moment.

Still won't understand why people ship this (this is my opinion).

I think watching Young Dracula as a kid/teenager made me bisexual.

HONESTLY 🖤 i can completely understand why! back when i thought i was young, a teenager & convinced i was ✨straight✨ i simply had an admiration for ingrid the fact that i was obsessed with her… well there was nothing REMOTELY gay about that 😂

young dracula DEFINITELY is one of the reasons i am the lesbian that i am today, obsessed with dracula & vampires, keithleecastle!dracula is the reason i own three pairs of leather trousers & why i am also a goth. thank you young dracula for making small child!me the lesbian goth i am today 🖤🧛🏻‍♂️🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻🖤

Black sea hare! It is the largest sea slug- it can grow up to 39 inches!! The reason it is so dark compared to other nudibranches is due to its herbivorous diet of kelp and brown seaweed. It has almost no predators due to both its sheer magnitude and because the brown seaweed that it eats allows the toxin acetoxycrenulide to accumulate inside (highly toxic to fish.)

.

Fenes' "Glory's tech isn't handwaved" AU. This was great! Funny and creative, and I'm both amazed and full of admiration for Fenes' ability to juggle so many characters.

I was feeling excited and ambitious with this one. Tried some new fun things (double core endbands, painted edges) and used some new equipment (a lying press).

The Text

TITLE/HEADINGS FONT: Azonix says 'SciFi' to me, it's a bold, non-serif, sleek font.

BODY FONT: Mundo Serif, it's a decent serif body font I haven't used before. Felt like it worked with Azonix.

SCENE BREAKS: a special character in Segoe UI Symbol of a black & white icon of Earth, the globe showing Asia.

TYPESETTING: Finished typesetting the fic, left document open on my laptop, laptop's battery failed, file now crashes immediately upon reopening, issue persists with copied versions of file (；￣Д￣) . Thankfully I had a backup file for the typeset with the barebones of the text, so I didn't have to restart from scratch...

Title Page

My thinking: it takes place in space, the world's at stake, and it's the dawn of a new horizon for Earth. Glory and the titular champions are represented by Swoksaar, Desert Dust, Lord Grim, Vaccaria, and Cloud Piercer – the captains of what I'd call the 'big 5' teams. A circuitry board background element hints at the tech/mecha nature of the story's competition. It may not match Blurb's art, but I hope I was able to convey some of what the story is about.

The circuitry image is used as decoration throughout the book. I only used the avatars of the top five teams' captains because too many silhouettes would lessen their impact and readability. (Removing the backgrounds was tedious, but worth it.)

Here's what it should have looked like. The test prints for this and the BB art were fine, but I think my inkjet started running out of ink just when I printed the final copies and I didn't reprint them. (Too impatient, really wanted to finish up and read the book)

The Cover

World Champions is another Big Bang fic, and once again I based some of my design choices off of the accompanying artwork. The dominant colours of Blurb_brain's illustration are red and blue-green.

COVER PAPER: For the decorative cover material I used NASA's ASTER image of Poyang Lake. NASA has some really interesting photography some of which remind me of marbled paper, thought it could be interesting. I chose this image of Poyang Lake because 1) it's in China, 2) the colours were similar to Blurb's awesome illustration (fate strikes again, dropping matching images and artwork into my lap!), and 3) NASA is tangentially relevant to the fic, which takes place in space.

BOOKCLOTH: Verona bookcloth in the shade Black Pearl, a lovely dark navy blue colour. Thought it suited the cover paper and title page. (Bought it for this fic specifically, but the colour goes well with almost all of my decorative papers so it should see a lot of use in the future!)

Endpapers

The final decision that held this project at a standstill for two months. In the end I drew inspiration from the matchups against the final opponent in the story. The image I used is a little chaotic and a little too unrelated to identify why I picked it without an explanation, but this book is for me and I know why, so there. (Note that I played around with the colours and cropped the photo.)

Endpaper inspiration: the maps for the matches against the Infilhites

"a long bridge through an enormous tube-like hall, where light seem to come from every side through stained glass windows. It was visually confusing, limited lateral motion" "a warehouse, crates stacked on and beside metal racks that went all the way to the ceiling." "a house of mirrors, fully enclosed to be sure the Infhillte couldn’t fly out of it." "like a volcano, rivers of lava moving sluggishly down a slope, occasional vents of overheated air nearby." "a series of overlapping bridges between halls and stairways, level after level layered over an open abyss."

Trimming & Painting the Edges

Going all out, a 2-for1 deal: the opportunity to use my lying press for the first time and learn a new technique!

TRIMMING: Used a paring chisel and lying press.

CHISEL: The 1.25" wide paring chisel I used was form a modern manufacturer. (Vintage paring chisels are very thin, enough so that you can bend/flex the blade. But don't do that.) It's long and wide blade made it easier to register against the surface of the press for consistent cuts. Looks like this one below from Lee Valley.

LYING PRESS: My dad's project. Solid black walnut, hand carved screws and internal threads — he even made the tools to make the threads too! The jaws of the press are each 3 7/8" wide. It's big and heavy (though much smaller than full-sized professional ones omg), but there's enough of a flat surface to register the chisel against. A thicc boi, much like this one below from Bookbinding Supplies.

PAINTED EDGES: The idea was to have dark navy edges, speckled with white stars. I used acrylic from a tube to paint the edges — tutorials recommended it over liquid bottled acrylic, and I had an old set hanging around. Had to water it down because otherwise the paint just flaked off.

My test of trimming and painting went well. Then the trimmed book itself came out slightly crooked, the paint required significantly more watering-down than before, and the white paint did not want to be both opaque and speckle-able. Unfortunate, but still book-shaped! And now I have an idea of what to do differently next time.

Also, did not like the glow-in-the-dark paint. Looked too translucent in the light when compared to the white acrylic, and needed a thicker coat to be visible in the dark. (The thickness combined with the translucence and base colour kinda reminded me of boogers... Ended up scrapping most of it off, so there's not much left to glow.)

Endbands

Still in the mood to have fun and go all-out, I attempted double-core endbands for the first time.

TUTORIAL: YouTube @ BookbindersChronicle: Bookbinding 101 Sewing Headbands Session 2. Also watched @ DAS Bookbinding's Double-Core Endband // Adventures in Bookbinding, but I personally found Chronicle's closeup video easier to follow.

I used embroidery floss from a 100pk of assorted colours off Amazon, wrapped around a core of 1.9mm leather cording from Michaels. I drew from Blurb_brain's art for the general colours, choosing a dark base, with red, blue-green, and gold. The specific shades were picked to go with the cover.

[transgenderer]

Aplysia vaccaria, also known as the black sea hare and California black sea hare, is a species of extremely large sea slug, a marine, opisthobranch, gastropod mollusk in the family Aplysiidae.[1] It is the largest sea slug species.[2]

The black sea hare can grow to be very large; the longest recorded specimen measured 99 cm (39 in) when crawling (thus fully extended), and weighed nearly 14 kg (31 lb).[3]

Aplysia vaccaria has a lifecycle of one year.[4] They grow very quickly, at an average rate of 4.9 g/day.[5] This high rate of growth allows A. vaccaria to become the largest known species of sea slug.[2] It is a herbivore that feeds on brown algae, but its close relative A. californica feeds almost exclusively on red algae.[6] This difference in food sources likely minimizes competition between the two species, which share much of the same habitat. A. vaccaria is found in the intertidal and upper-subtidal zone, meaning that it can survive exposure to air while the tide is out. It is rarely preyed upon by other organisms, which has made it the subject of various experiments testing for a secreted biotoxin that discourages predation.[6] The large size of A. vaccaria also contributes to its lack of predators. It is simply too big for many predators to attack or consume.

PLEASE tell me who this slug is i need to know so bad why he's enormous

California black sea hare, Aplysia vaccaria. Largest species of sea slug, possibly the largest known slug in general, and the recordholder had a size of 99cm/39in and weight of almost 14kg/31lbs. They only live a year and feed on brown algae. :]

1 Million of Years After Abandonment

 The first one million of years is the start of adaptive radiation on the planet Heqet. Many animals and plants started to diversify and specify here, few new Genera appeared, instead the specification led to new species and Subspecies in preexisting genera. The globe was warmer than modern Earth, around 17 degrees celsius, creating a suitable environment for cnidarians, molluscs, most insects and invertebrates, plants and anurans. This is thought to have helped in the diversification and specialization of fauna and flora around the world.

 Continents

There were three main continents at this time, from smallest to largest they are Bufia, Batrachia and Incilia. Each continent has its endemic set of anurans, Bufia has the common toad, Batrachia have the poison dart frogs and giant leaf frogs while Incilia have cane toads and colorado river toads. The continent of Bufia also have endemic alderflies and lacks bromeliads and passion fruits, alongside carpenter bees.

The majoriality of Bufia was covered by the biome of temperate forest with a mountain chain in the north of the continent. Batrachia was majoritarialy savannah with a mountain chain forming on the west. Incilia was mostly desertic as the extense mountain chains in the east created a rainshadow effect stronger than that in Batrachia.

Diversification 

The severe lack of most angiosperms and gymnosperms, tetrapods and invertebrates alongside the total absence of fishes led to the major diversification of the seeded groups, passionfruits, pines, grasses, frogs and principally the invertebrates like dipterans, hymenopterans, miryapods and isopods. Who filled the niches that other groups would have filled on earth.

Flora

With a mid gap in floral species it is expected that many new species evolved to fill in the ecological vacuums, pines dominating most of the world while the arboreal passionfruits took advantage of the lack of specialization to tropical climates of the pines to explode in diversity in tropical regions.

Fauna

Unlike plants there was a massive lack of fauna on the planet Heqet, who led to a major adaptative radiation event, hence the name of this time period. Without herbivores to compete with the millipedes they have grown larger, eating a wide variety of plants or specializing on specific species, most of these large millipedes were somewhat the size of the largest millipede on present Earth, the giant african millipede (Archispirostreptus gigas). Centipedes have experienced great diversification without arachnid and insect competition, but were somewhat limited by frogs where they coexisted. Robber flies were the main predators in open landscapes, predating on all sorts of prey, their monopoly as aerial predators lasted for as long as they were the sole volant predators on the planet. Mosquitoes remained largely the same as they kept feeding on the blood of animals and the nectar of plants, though they had a lot of competition with the carpenter bees as the latter was already specialized to the seeded plants and the plants mosquitoes were specialized into pollinating, (Orchids) were'nt seeded. Both terrestrial and marine gastropods became important herbivores growing to large sizes similarly to the giant African snail (Achatina achatina) in land snails and similar sizes to the sea hare Aplysia vaccaria among marine slugs. Tunicates, cnidarians and cirripedes were the sole filter feeders of the world, some growing to incredible sizes.

The frogs maintained in the same kind of niche as small to medium sized hypercarnivores, and have specialized into other more specific niches (dietary specifications, period of activity, habitat, etc.) in order to avoid competition with the progenitor species.
