#this post is purely for science

[genebeanz]

Good lord... There are digital images up on my wall...

It's not finished, i still have a couple i want to print out (more from people that made art for me :3 ) but this is really fun to make ;u; THEYRE ON MY WALL

Also yeah I'm trying to get into the habit of drawing in bigger canvases this time around... The big cafe group picture is terribly small in real life </3 rip

#gene ocs #gene art #tagging it as such but its art ive done b4 so it goes here #Gene rambles #the science ladies are drawn in 300dpi #Since ibis paints default setting is that #do not want to post my other i/eytd fanart #because most of them are gay/a lot of pure black #which im sure is going to be horrible on the inks

top ten ways to dye ur hair!!!! (Not clickbait)

#i wanted to. get silly. #i like this drawing :)) the aperture science equivalent of dying your hair with koolaid #the first character is heavy metal core!!!!! i like calling them Rockstar though so #i am forever filled with the urge to make a blog purely for me to aperture tag post without feeling awkward #like you don't know how many times ive almost called glados my boss in conversation #aperture tag #portal 2 #nigel aperture tag #heavy metal core #heavy metal core aperture tag #no clue what to tag them so that'll do ⬆️

tbqh it's weird as hell to me that there's this given understanding about fictional aliens that they'd be surprised or confused by adaptability, but like, as far as we know and understand that is a fundamental quality of life itself not life on earth. In order to become a spacefaring species any spacefaring alien would've had to survive whatever space threw at them for billions of years as well as whatever their planet in specific threw at them, even the 'good' planet we know about is pretty fucking hostile to life. It's just implausible to me that like, among all the possible sapient species we'd be unique or interesting for the level to which we have the ability to adapt to situations, something that any biological creature of any origin would also need to survive long enough as a species to figure out how space works.

#I mean I also understand this is a common way to frame the mundane as interesting by stripping the normalcy of it #IDK I think the 'humans as space orcs' meta has gone too far #Like it's fine to examine humanity through that lens I think it's good to examine things like that #But then when you give that lens its own actual life you need to think a bit more for it to stay coherent #In many cases I think it completely ignores that it's making sweeping implications about non-human intelligences #In ways that just don't fucking make any sense #IMO at least #IDK I'm not positive I'm saying this in a way that makes sense but I'm right #What I'm saying is the parts of those posts that're like 'this is a neat thing about humans' are good and cool IMO #but the parts that are like 'and therefore an alien intelligence would find it impossible to comprehend' are weird and bad #Just seems like a really self-satisified way of looking at ourselves #Like you really think that no other alien species might IDK have a few instincts left over from the pre-sapience days? #They all just sprung from the stars fully formed beings of pure reason and science? #Just us we're the only cool ones in the whole fuckin galaxy huh

dr stone is so funny bc its literally giving the most traumatised people on earth the chance to rebuild the world and what do you know it, they choose eugenics and tyranny (aka nearly all antagonists). the only downside to the series (which also happens to be a hilarious upside) is that we dont know anything about most character's backstories so we're just left to assume that they're murderous trigger happy loons just because ?? a literal let gays do crime moment except the crime is serial murders of underage children

#dr stone #this post is about stanxeno (but also tsukasa and hyoga and like...nearly all antags LOL) #but i really like thinking that the only reason senku and the kingdom of science can still believe so wholeheartedly in humanity #is a sort of teenage innocence that cannot be replicated and will erode with time/experience #which is what happened with xeno + stanley and tsukasa #im not condoning murder of teens i am just saying #there is a sort of unfounded belief in humanity that you only truly hold in your childhood to teen years #that is so pure and untarnished that you would do anything for it #and you either hold onto it despite the world (ukyo) or youre worn out and jaded by the world (xeno) #kinda wish they expanded more on this tbh....the philosophy behind altruism and the pains of growing up and understanding an imperfect worl #and realising your helplessness against it #but having the desire to rise up and believe in humanity despite so #anyway im having Thoughts and procrastinating on drawing LOL

Ok gang new headcanon just dropped

Anakin Skywalker did not wear black to be edgy, but to absorb as much sunlight and warmth as he could bc he came from a DESERT PLANET and was not used to not being in super warm heat and got COLD as a child in this essay I will-

#earl does rambles #star wars #read a post abt luke being cold on hoth bc desert boy and had an epiphany #anakin skywalker #he originally wore light colours to match obi #then obi realised he was still cold and went MMM SCIENCE #and then boom #dark robes #this does not apply to Vader #that was purely aesthetics #star wars headcanons

came back & saw some asks on the dash that echoed a lot of my thoughts over the soon to be half a decade come next summer that i've supported the boys, i've a lot to say but maybe i'll save that for some other time. i'm just glad that people acknowledge change but it must be said: as long as you love and support the artists in whichever way you can? you're a fan, and it doesn't make you any less of one just because you don't like all of their music as a group or in terms of solo projects, you don't stream everything regardless, you don't buy all their merch or go to concerts or you watch very little/none of the content they put out or you don't gravitate towards all the members equally because preferences exist and you may resonate with one or a few more than the others. heck, sometimes you might be in my shoes and feel yourself drifting away from them because you're older and you just care about different things outside of the fan experience. it's fine. everyone's an individual and i think it's about high time we start treating being a fan as part of that too. period.

#steph.text #i'm so tired of people being shamed for not fitting the narrative #i still get it until today #my best example is recently when jk posted that shirtless tiktok #when are people going to realize that you don't need to feel or say anything just because what? he's my bias? i'm supposed to? yeah no #let people be a fan in a way that's best for them #it's as simple as that #it's not fucking rocket science & i can't believe pure common sense needs to be iterated #goodness

“ the monster begins pushing its eggs into my womb. Heavy, slimy eggs that stretch their way through my pussy before forcing their way into my womb. The monster then fills me with its cum to fertilize the eggs” —— that’s kind of a stupid reproductive strategy, self-fertilizing your own eggs is very bad for a lineage’s genetic health in the long run, why can’t it just use parthenogenic embryo eggs to put in people and not inbreed with itself?

Probably because I'm a writer who focuses on character driven gothic fiction when I'm not writing just for the hell of it, and because I haven't taken a biology class since I was 15, and because everything on here is a glorified draft that will never have any connection to my professional career, so I don't do extensive research on hypothetical reproductive systems like I would if I ever intended to publish it anywhere other than the horny side of tumblr

#I'm not really mad #this ask just rubbed me the wrong way #nothing i post here is written to the beat of my abilities #because it is purely for fun and to satisfy *fantasy* #so please dont read my frankly abominable interpretations of science and assume im trying to accurately depict anything #will i try to put some thought into? yes #but my goal isnt scientific realism #its just getting railed by creatures #my answer

Every day I mourn the fact that none of my family and friends give a single shit abt oni lore, I don't wanna keep repeating shit I've already said before on here but every now and then I just remember the horrors™ and nearly explode not being able to scream abt it again

#rat rambles #oni posting #just everytime I think abt olivia's 1500 cycle onwards logs I want to start biting things #shes soooo fucked up and tragic and she doesnt get any closure and she never will and I LOVE it #I fucking love her so much she rewired my brain so hard shes like one of The blorbos of all time #damn you klei you rly know how to make characters that destroy me beyond repair (hi carter twins) #I still find it fun imagining olivia and jackie interacting with the dont starve cast even if they wouldn't like most of them #I have lightly changed my mind on one dynamic tho #I still think that jackie would be stressed out by all the kiddos and would at least dislike them. but. #I do think she could end up kind of getting along with walter #like look at me. she was probably just like him as a kid. she would hate him for it but they could also talk for hours. #hed start sharing fun facts abt his bug collection and jackie would start lecturing him abt ants or whatever and hed think shes so cool #I think olivia still wouldn't like him tho but that's purely because hed probably stress her out #same with the rest of the kiddos I think if you put webber in the room with the two of them theyd both have a breakdown #not because hes a spider solely because hes a little boy who probably just asked them if he can have icecream #and wendy and abby would just be a situation of them not knowing how to talk to kids let alone depressed kids #oh and theyd probably also be stressed out by wurt for basic they dont know how to deal with kids reasons #rly the two would just hang out with wickerbottom and no one else if they could help it #except wanda they'd bother her non stop to the point shed start avoiding them lol #you see Im sure plenty of the cast wouldnt like olivia and jackie either because of just how much they wouldn't take magic as an answer #not that theyd be like no that cant be real cause thatd be magic theyd more likely start sciencing out the mechanics of all the magic stuff #in practical terms while also refusing to call it magic #and worst of all knowing them theyd probably get results because fuck man they brute forced their way into time travel (sort of) so why not #so itd just be maxwell being soooo pissed as the two somehow manage to replicate his spells without the codex #dont let them meet wagstaff then itd rly be jover

#would anyone uh #be opposed if i wrote a tommy smut #asking for science #my period brain is doing things #but it would have to be ambition/damn yankees era tommy bc any other era feels too pure fhgahejgodod #i feel like if i did write it i would have to be very obligated to post it #lemme know and i'll consider *nervous sweating*

is tumblr about to have a green brothers renaissance focused on hank this time

#he was always my favorite between them #this has been a post #purely because he seemed like more of a science guy

perhaps im being a luddite but all this AR VR immersive reality stuff is... kind of frightening? i know there's a lot of really good benefits to it when it comes to disability and such so it's a complex thing but man. i already feel i have too much screen in my life as is and the idea of making it even *more* immersive and having to Enter it to partake in it just... ugh

oh man no you're absolutely right to feel this way, and you're not the only one feeling it either.

addressing this fear was a huge part of what people were talking about in this space - there was an entire talk dedicated specifically to avoiding a "HYPER-REALITY"-esque future, and also for making sure people still have privacy, bodily autonomy, and free control over HOW exactly they want to interact with this new tech

the idea is that the ever-increasing amounts of screen time demanded of us are bad, and that we need to find a better way to interact with the digital world as it continues to expand... because, well....... it sure is continuing to expand.

the idealized dream I'm seeing from the 'metaverse' people is that everyone wants it to be........ an easier way of accessing digital information? a way of bringing it more seamlessly out of our screens, so that we spend less time in front of them and more time interacting with the world?

one example I saw was a minimalist AR display of a cookie recipe that made measurements hover over their related ingredients, so that you spend less time looking at a recipe on your phone and more time actually cooking. another is an example of, instead of Zoom meetings where everyone is stuck at their computers for hours, you meet in a virtual space where you can stand up, walk around, and share (virtual) things with each other by actually handing them to someone instead of using a mouse and keyboard

at the end of the day I have no idea how any of this will shake out in practice - I'm just a concept artist who's suddenly found themselves designing for these virtual worlds - but you're not wrong.

if history tells us anything it's that advertisements and corporations WILL find ways to make things worse, and that the information super highway will still have huge problems with misinfo and right-wing radicalization - BUT...... despite everything, it's still an absolute wonder that we can walk around carrying the entirety of all the world's knowledge and connection to other human beings inside our pocket. we're just still working out the kinks around the fact that our brains aren't built to process all that information at once.

ultimately, for better and worse, technology marches forward... and it's up to us as individuals to figure out the best ways to use it for good, and to protect ourselves from its negative aspects

#incessant meowing #long post #SORRY I WROTE A NOVEL I JUST HAVE A LOT OF COMPLICATED THOUGHTS TOO #as i get forced into learning more and more about the metaverse i don't want to sound either totally for it or against it #because it's given me an amazing new career in 3d concept art #where i can work standing up inside a virtual world of my own creation #with my clients inside this world WITH me giving feedback #which is just. it's unreal!! it's pure science fiction!!!! #but at the same time i KNOW the threat of looming cyberpunk dystopia #the one thing i would say as the world of the metaverse keeps coming closer #is to keep speaking up about privacy and accessibility in virtual spaces! #and to keep informed on what data is being taken from you and to protect yourself whenever possible #we are all going to have to learn tech literacy and data protection #which we should all be doing anyways because smartphones and websites and browsers are spying on us already #this shift has been happening for a long time and we are just recently hitting a crest in the wave

it's probably already clear i used a lot of sticker era styling especially the slutty nctu preview (jaehyun hacker, jungwoo surveillance) for agtbtb but this taeil has lived in my head rent free for 2 years and it feels good to finally write him how i envisioned him

#hex peach updates #chapter 20 was a lot longer but like 18 i had to cut the smut in half for plot and pure “this is reading like a personal fantasy” purposes #he's rolling up his sleeves for science #i have to post the dossier this week its been sitting in drafts since march but i wanted everyone's forms to be revealed first #punch era also is the main influence as well as the lemonade video and now fact check gyeongbokgung for the late late chapters

[cherrysnax]

need to preface this by saying I looooove Felicia sm but god it’s so frustrating that when she pops up she gets to keep her personality, her depth, her everything, even in like her very few appearances but MJ has to get EVERYTHING WIPED AWAY even in the comics??? but literally the only close to faithful adaptions of her are spectacular, some of the 90s show and PART of the raimi movies and it’s only slivers!!!! And usually if mjs around Gwen doesn’t exist so we never the catalyst to her and peters bond, their shared grief that Peter can’t understand at first <\3

#and tbh Felicia is getting done DIRTY rn #but so is like. everyone rn #aand I hate to compare two bad bitches to each other #but what I liked about mj Felicia and Gwen is how DIFFERENT THEY ARE #i hate how they make post death Gwen into some pure angel as if she didn’t hate superhero’s and woulda leave Peter a verbal lashing #because she didn’t know he was spider-man when she died and that’s the tragedy!!! Gwen was never perfect none of them were #mj. god I can’t even talk about her without getting angry. they’re massacring my girls yall #even outside of their relationships with Peter they were such rich characters… Gwen a lil less but still! #I just want a semi-faithful adaption of spider-man in his college years up until adulthood #let him be a science teacher let mj be a model/actress/drama teacher who despite not being a superhero knows something about living two live #let Felicia be her morally grey self without taking away her depth #let Gwen rest. I’m #tired of them bringing her back and holding her over peters head as if he didn’t finally get to move on. he loved her. he loved her so much #that he respects her memory by not letting the world stop anymore. she’s dead but let her have her anger her flaws. the fact that she was #a bit of a bully in the beginning was interesting!!! I love women <3 #anyway I’m gonna read renew ur vows and parralell lives and maydays run and pretend Peter b Parker is 616 Peter #also also this isn’t to say the Felicia doesn’t get watered down too because she does. they treat her so bad

i need more post firewalker 30 day quarantine fics to read :c

#favorite genre rn honestly #and post darkness falls too #lock em in a room together for weeks at a time! forced domesticity! #idgi 'stranded together'/'captured together' fics are such a staple in sam/jack land i expected quarantine MSR fics to be way more popular #i've enjoyed the ones i've read but.... sure there are more? #tbh i'm struggling to remember how to use gossamer so that's part of it probably #i remember reading one like 20 years ago that I really enjoyed and i haven't found it again yet #scully was trying to spend the time writing a paper about their experience from a pure science pov #and mulder was trying to get her to decerebralize and spend time with him #icr if it was post Darkness Falls or post Firewalker -- or maybe it was an AU quarantine event? maybe that's why i haven't seen it? #anyway! it's scully's first case back post abduction and it it's *that* and then they're put in lockdown for 30 days! the possibilities!

so. does anyone want to congratulate me for choosing to quit my degree and choose engineering.

#personal #a lot of courses ive taken so far will be accepted probably #but like #i dont have any friends here #and a number of people are snakes #not all but enough #our professor didnt order new books for the bookstore so now i have to study from pics smb took on their phone #and they are shit quality #and it's been like. 10 days #oh also he said he would post material on the webpage but he didnt #AND I FUCKIN NEED THESE PAGES BC I HAVE A TEST ON TUESDAY #and i have to pass the test to be able to do labwork #i hate it here #on the other hand pharmaceutical engineering sounds like heaven #oh but i will miss pure science
