Vickers Hardness Scale

So of course I've been researching jewelry making for my fanfics and whilst looking into the durability of various alloys I discovered the universal hardness scale for metal alloys is called the Vickers Hardness Scale.

Coincidence? I think not ;)

(btw, the scale goes from lowman to hot!Sauron)

the fallout 4 art book is gorgeous and packed with cool stuff, well worth your time if you have even the slightest interest in anything the game presents

but it absolutely kills me that we don't get a peek into how DiMA looks in the concept art. i'd love to get my hands on the initial sketches, design docs, iterative concept art, anything. there are a bunch of cool fucked up looking robots in here and i'd love to see THE fucked up robot

bonus pre-production nick

'john patrick' seems to be an error, the character is john doggett played by robert patrick, but nick is at least partly based on this dude

#fallout 4 #fo4 #fallout #nick valentine #DiMA #haven't seen the x-files so can't say if that shakes out character wise #but for appearance? yeah i can totally see it #got the prominent cheekbones and all #todd. todd if you're seeing this let me into the secret DiMA files please. my interest it is so much #fun facts!

Hello!! I drew me and my friends Winxsonas together 💕

Going to the right: I'm on top, @snarky-art aka Taylor, @parola-di-winx aka Nove, @giantratbf aka Bee, and @nymphietonkslupin aka Madhu

They're all wonderful, so definitely check out their blogs!! Talyor, Bee, and Nove also drew us all! So keep your eyes peeled for that!

#tw spiders #I got full licence to slightly redesign their sona's to make them look more alien XD #Madhu gets fishy traits. Taylor gets fun iris. Nove gets a tail (that she kept XD). and Bee gets dark sclera #so thats why mine look slightly different compared to the other versions :p i went ''can i creature yall?'' and got a resounding yes #fun facts! #Madhu is half mermaid. Taylor is from the same planet as Mirta. #Bee is from the same planet as Amyrl (& maybe Chimera's fam). And Nove is from the same planet as Lucy and Katy. #im from the same planet as Francis and Anne on the Eros side. Eros is part of the water element planet cluster and Koria fire. #which is the same mix that Stella has (Sloaria being fire elemental and Noctilucae is water elemental) #winx club #winx #winxsona #Winx sona #winx club sona #Winx oc #Winx club oc #magic winx #Winx fairy animals #winx fanart #winx club fanart

I thought it'd be super cute to draw Beyond, Ruby, and Amalgamation as if they were in @snailfen 's Ruffian and Ruffles universe! I hope you all enjoy this!

I greatly appreciate all their hard work sm! #rw group alpha

So. In theory. According to Danish folklore, Crowley might be Santa's helper.

You see, in Denmark, Santa's helpers are not elves, but what we call nisser. Nisser are now a part of Christmas, but that wasn't always the case. Nisser are some of our oldest folkelore, and they used to be rather terrifying. It's a tiny creature living on your farm, and if you don't treat him well, he might just burn down your livelihood. But if the nisse is happy and well-fed, he will protect your animals etc. Anyway, the thing is, according to the old myth, nisser are in fact fallen angels!

A lot of Danish supernatural beings are thought to be fallen angels - the angels who fell and landed in the streams would become åmænd/nøkker/nixies, the one who landed in the woods would become ellefolk/elves, the one who landed in the mountains would become bjergfolk/giants, and, finally, the ones who landed in farms would become nisser.

So if Crowley hadn't landed in a sulfur pit, who knows what could have happened -

The(3)main player characters

Aka my main monster prom OC and his friends along with their drinks to help describe their personalities or aesthetics

First Sparkles Glowbright,ex-prince of Villa of Monocerotem, a very magical adept White Unicorn

Sparkles is my main monster prom oc. He's calm, collected, and goes with the flow(Yes, like Brian.)Unlike Brian, he's more energetic, he enjoys dancing, walking, and magic tricks with physical requirements. He's also much more thoughtful than most of the monsters in Spooky High, resorting to murder less, more education-focused, and less sexually interested preferring to take it slow. Sparkles, despite(hopefully)what a lot of future art shows isn't actually in Spooky Academy, his reason for being there along with his actual school is to be discussed later for his backstory.

Next is Draco Lung, the son of a Western fire dragon and an Eastern lightning dragon(also the brother of an Eastern water dragon).

Draco, short for Draconic, is a stereotypical greedy dragon, he doesn't steal damsels and force them to marry him as he finds that sexist and weird. Unlike Vera, Draco is lazy, stealing from shops, kingdoms, and even fountains for his fix of money obsession. (Hell, that last one was how he met Sparkles in the first place.)Another example of his laziness is his obsession with sleeping, likely due to the energy of being such a huge beast. While he isn't a complete jackass he's rude and just as quick to violence as several monsters threatening to fight someone if they annoy him enough.

Next up is Feng Xuang, a FENGHUANG not a PHOENIX or a VERMILION BIRD

Feng is the one I have the least plot thought out for. He likes astrology and astronomy due to the real-life monster corresponding to Celestial bodies and beings. He's obsessed with fire, not like just an arsonist, he likes playing with it, eating it, looking at it. Fenghuang mating rituals have two Fenghuangs doing a mating dance of death that combines both parents' personalities into one egg making Feng an orphan. He hates to be referred to as other similar mythical bird species. He's cheery and upbeat but a general everyman who enjoys preppy culture.

Last but not least, Mh'athra.Deity of Sacred Secrecy and darkness

Mh'athra is technically canon, but I'm giving her a non-canon design. Sparkles became a mortal contact for Mh'athra when he snuck into one of the cult headquarters on his way to Monstropolis and read a book that allowed it to come into the monster realm with his magic. Mh'athra is an asshole, she’s extremely dismissive of Zoe and her choice of becoming part of mortal kind, like the carnival mirror event, unlike the mirror event Mh'athra is actively cruel and even dead names Zoe while alternate Z'gord is dismissive but tries to talk her into rejoining her "purpose." While it's evil, it's not actively malicious, not currently into recreating the Nothingness.

#Monster roadtrip #Monster prom #monster prom oc #tw deadnaming #(Mention but still) #Fun facts! #Sparkles is Pan(his mane colors out of universe is intentional but in-universe its the natural mane colors) #His story is connected with the Vanderbilts #It will have some Miranda slander(I don't love the character)but it won't just be blind hate #He has practiced several spells(which is common for his species)and knows a lot of attack spells #Yes he was inspired by Whiskey #If they met Whiskey would act as the teasing older brother even though they aren't actually related #Draco's color scheme is based of of Maleficent and his mother is a completely unsubtle expy of her #He can spit out both fire and some electricity #So I know there's a dragon in the modtool of the game that's apparently canon #So some of you may wonder why she's humanoid while he's completely animal like? #Fuck you that's why #(I don't know how to draw humans) #Feng is completely immune to fire damage so the dumpster fire one is non canon(but still funny) #Mh'athra can change change her number of eyes to the pictures shown #The first one is inspired by COTL while the second one comes from the cultist's mask during the dinest event #(Also I know the perspective in the darkest timeline looks awful. I'm sorry)

You mentioned liking random facts so I will take it upon myself to give you a fun random fact for today! 

The modern sandwich is attributed to John Montagu, Earl of Sandwich. He was a prolific gambler and English nobleman of the 18th century. He ordered his servant to bring him ‘sandwiches’ when gambling because it meant he could continue gambling with his other hand while eating. 

It’s popularity spread to the rest of the aristocracy and then during the industrial revolution spread to the working class because of their convenience (cheap, fast, portable), much like the miner’s pasty. 

anon, darling, you’re after my heart today

omg making the sandwich for productivity and efficiency in gambling ??? hahaha

sandwiches are so convenient !!! that’s so cool!! i had no idea it was born out of aristocracy

thank you for sharing!! i enjoyed this the most !! <333

An average size 5 soccer ball is about 8-9" (Diameter)

Raccoons can fit into holes 8"

bruh i dont even remember what we were talking about but vilv just told me that??? apparently theres a disease you can get from ticks that makes you allergic to mammal meat and mammal products????? what the hell is this fucked up evil world. what the fuck. thats so specific thats TERRIFYING. and apparently its not even instantaneous allergic reaction its within 2-6 HOURS. imagine eating a delectable piece of bacon with a nice refreshing glass of milk and then 2-6 hours later you start dying because you walked through tall grass one time. diabolical behavior.

you could say its not a problem for vegans... that is.... if the disease also didnt effect your reaction to vaccines and medications!!!!!!!! APPARENTLY???

i am going insane HOW IS THIS A REAL THING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD OF THIS IN MY LIFE.
