Made this piece recently for studio and i am IN LOVE!!! IT CAME OUT SO GOOD <333

Starting to experiment with conlang-ish stuff in my art recently and its being really fun and interesting!! Hoping to do more like this when I can

#study #sciency #art! #ink #bugs #weird guys #mouse #bones #conlang maybe? it doesn't actually mean anything but its MEANT to look like a language i'm not sure what that counts as #OK SO I GOOGLED IT apparently its called asemic writing!! cool!! #asemic writing #fire #burning this page was extremely fun i have a weird pic somewhere of me putting a lighter to this #medical illustration style study

Cortical Thickness!

This very much reminds me of the Xq28 gene studies for teh gay gene in the late 90s…

this study has a very tiny, narrow sample size, so…

Braaains!

Where’s the science

Where’s the Science?

You may be wondering what scientific facts truly prove the connection between coping with mental illness and comfort objects like a teddy bear. Australian Psychologist Lorraine Aldridge discussed the connection between psychology and stuffed animals on her website where she mentions the “lifting of their self-esteem and boosting of their sense of worth.” She also mentions the connection between comfort objects and good-feeling hormones such as oxytocin and serotonin. Lorraine Aldridge states “When present in certain part[s] of the brain, oxytocin decreases stress and anxiety levels.” on the connection to stress. In an article titled “The Real-Life Science of Stuffed Animals, Children, and Stress Reduction” the author elaborated on the previous quote stating “serotonin contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness by stabilizing mood.” 

In another article about what makes a teddy bear comforting authors stated “Our study revealed that the emotional bond shared with a teddy bear is a predominant factor.” (Tribot et al., 1). However, the authors also went on to discuss other key characteristics with respect to the bond, “...we identified characteristics that play a significant role in the perception of comfort, which lies in a combination of visual, olfactory, and especially kinesthetic characteristics.” This shows the true bond children share with their teddy bears or other comfort objects with the science that lies behind them.

A lot of older TMNT fans dislike the ROTTMNT designs for making the brothers barely look like turtles but actually I enjoy them looking mostly humanoid

They resemble the person they were mutated with a lot, they look like new species entirely and they went into drastically different direction with sharp, pointy dynamic lines, rather than huge round blobified shapes the other series were going for

Plus the designs and thought process behind each of them are amazing

Like, I could rant about Donnie's design quirks for ages

#rottmnt #also i'm still emotional of them all looking like lou jitsu in a way and how they would most probably have human forms resembling him a lot #as for donnie you won't be seeing me shutting up about him being a softshell and actually using his tech to enhance his shell anytime soon #his eyebrows are also the staple of his personality #and how he has several sciency accessories all over him to make it clear what he does #and how different he looks without any of them #how much his design changes just without the goggles alone #or mask

i made an au where they r evil scientists as a family :3 ( testtube gave bot an extra pair of arms ) ( also tw for syringes on the next one )

#fantube #osc #ii #iii #ii bot #ii fan #ii test tube #they do evil sciency things and kidnap people and poke them with comically large syringes and feed them chemicals!!! #they have released atleast 3 deadly diseases #inanimate insanity #i dont know how to draw syringes and i didnt use a reference so idk if it l ooks ass

rick at various ages

#rick and morty #rick sanchez #as a kid i imagine hed be super nerdy and kind of Accidentally chaotic? like he'd set off fireworks in his backyard to see what'd happen #and then as a teen he mellows out a bit. STILL DORKY #like i very much believe rick is basically Exactly like morty without the rick influence and with way more techy sciency knowledge #or like. maybe not knowledge. Curiosity. he fucks around and finds out a lot more basically #obviously had to keep the blue pants yellow shirt combo #umm idk. thats about it. threw in a regular rick at the end for comparison i guess #originally i considered adding college aged + post family death versions as well #but then i decided i couldnt think of a young adult design and i didnt feel like drawing the other one. These Four will Suffice

AFRICAN PENGUINS IDENTIFY PATNERS BY THEIR CHEST DOTS

Birds are known to be highly social and visual animals, and penguins are not the exception, as they live in dense colonies. Yet no specific visual feature has been identified to be responsible for individual recognition in birds. Now, researchers demonstrate that african penguins (Spheniscus demersus) can recognize their each others using their ventral dot patterns.

Researchers placed a experiment at the Zoomarine Marine Park, in Rome, Italy, to test how penguins will react to a model with plain with no dot penguin, and to penguins with dots, to find out penguins actually could visually recognize the dots of their lovers and friends in the zoo.

Penguins rely strongly on their ventral dot patterns for individual recognition, and may have holistic representations of other penguins in the colony. In this video below, an african penguin named Gerry appears to recognize his mate, Fiorella (left), in an individual recognition experiment.

These findings suggest that african penguins may rely on a more holistic visual representation of their partner, which includes both the ventral dot patterns and their partner's facial features. Notably, these abilities are not dependent on the ability of a pair to produce offspring together. Nemo and Chicco, male partners, showed the same preference for each other as other penguin partner pairs, suggesting that the ability to distinguish the partner from others is driven simply by the special bond developed between nesting partners.

Frostbite

A little gory/exaggerated but I actually like this a lot :D

I like the idea of the freeze being REALLY rough on the sole survivor, and there’s physical trauma involved that they have to deal with past the mental trauma of waking up 200 years in the future.

Damien gets pretty bad barotrauma from being frozen for 150 years, wakes up to see Shaun get taken, then freezes again pretty much immediately afterwards. It’s not like he could fully thaw in those 2 minutes it took Kellogg to open Nora’s door. So now Damien is deaf in his left ear, and he has trouble keeping his hands warm :)

Closeup under the cut

#it should be known Damien’s frostbite doesn’t actually advance to this I just wanted to dramatize it lmfao #cuz this is late stage with tissue death #but that takes a bit and he’d start warming up basically the moment he’s out of his pod #also technically Damien should have fucked up balance with his ear fucked like that #but I don’t care. artistic liberty lmao #I could ramble SO MUCH about semi-sciency stuff I HC about the freeze #like the potential for it to just. fuck with all your cells #it won’t mutate you like radiation or anything but it could still kill a LOT #sole survivor with IBS because their gut biome was eradicated LMFAO #sole survivor that gets vitiligo/their hair starts growing in stark white because the melanin producers all died #literally I could talk abt it so much. don’t quote me on the science tho I’m not actually smart #anyway real tags #fallout 4 #fallout #fallout 4 fanart #fallout fanart #digital art #male sole survivor #sole survivor #cryogenic freezing #blood #blood tw #frostbite #fallout 4 headcanons #serenade draws #Damien tag

Honestly what makes Stein a good execution of the mentally unwell mad scientist trope is that unlike your Rick Sanchez types who would scoff and debunk a cheerful character's optimistic worldview as cringe and naive he actually enjoys their presence and values that quality in other people

like he's realistic and acts as a voice of reason but doesnt revel in dashing anyone's hopes and dreams (unless it's spirit but that's just what they do to each other, and even then it's mostly taking the piss and not too serious)

#so much of this sciency character trope is them being conceited pricks that shoot down others optimism #its tiresome #soul eater #franken stein #tangentially marie related #not mangacap

In theory, Annabeth Chase is the responsible, mostly level-headed, no-nonsense member of the Seven.

In practice, Annabeth Chase is a math-obsessed ADHD girl that's been training to fight for her life since she was seven, has fought in two (2) wars by the time she turns seventeen, and is simply Too Tired™ to care about consequences of her impulsive thoughts, if she ever did.

What I'm saying is she pitches the dumbest hypotheticals to Leo and then they hole themselves up with limited food and sleep to try the idea out, no matter how stupid. Their cabins often join, sometimes others as well. It's a bit like MythBusters but with less regard for human life and even more explosions. Chiron and Mr D know Something Is Up if they haven't seen either of the two in too long.

#pjo #hoo #leo valdez #annabeth chase #annabeth pjo #in conclusion: they are impulsive #and they'll do whatever comes to their mind #they literally won't be able to rest until they solve whatever problem they have chosen this week #the rest of the seven are less sciency/mathy and so very concerned #also these two fight about their math skills all the time #Leo usually wins pure math stuff #Annabeth gets him back by knowing far too much trivia #they hate each other (affectionate)

me adding "it builds the economy" to every answer in business class (I have no fucking clue what it means to build the economy)

#business #School #Business memes #But fr what the fuck does it mean to build the economy #Mf it's not a house???? You don't build that shit???? #I'm so good at business #Don't come at me for calling it business y'all I'm still in a year where everything sciency and businessy is grouped together into 2 subs #Dunno if imma do accounting or marketing or whatever yet 💔 #Hey if y'all Americans can split math into like ninety different flavors we can do the same with science and business #Why are there so many flavors of math in America??? #The fuck is calculus????

Making a magic system is so great. Yeah I give those mfs powers based on magic stones and then I limit them with deadly consequences. Yeah it’s all in my head. I know the rules by heart and you will learn them together with my protagonist. Just mwah.

#shitpost #noodles open mouth and shit do come out #writing #I LOVE MY MAGIC SYSTEMS BUT EXPLAINING THEM TAKES A COUPLE PAGES. #my brain works too sciency. there are reasons for stuff everywhere
