"I'm starting to forget your smile"
Hehe doing wigglypaint instead of writing my essay
oh japanese edition you feed us so well
Thank you Japanese Edition for giving us the closest thing we can get to an SV manga
Recent SVSSS character design sheets I’ve done!
reblogging for reasons. Very blatant reasons.
So, unlike Eridians, we discovered fire very early on and so our civilization kinda grew up with combustion right? We've had thousands of years to normalize it and get comfortable with the idea of using it casually for warmth or cooking etc.
In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.
> Be me. Rocky the Eridian cosmonaut
> Tell Grace about Eridian space elevator design made out of Xenonite. Grace very impressed, says humans only dream about making space elevator.
> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.
> Grace explains Humans strapped other Humans on top of Fire-Explodatron-9000 machines made out of weak human metal, basically Eridian cardboard, then shot them into orbit. Grace say the fire it makes is quite pretty to look at
If Eridians dont know about radiation, its probably safe to say they don't know about nuclear fission/fusion either.
Imagine Grace telling rocky about this and he's like Amaze Amaze Amaze! But what is energy used for question? And Grace is just like "w-we use it to boil water...and make bombs..."
Rocky's clearly underwhelmed by the answer so channeling his inner middle school science teacher, Grace is like Oh! Oh! We were also gonna build a new kind of rocket: the Nuclear-Explodatron 9000 (also made out of Eridian cardboard). It shoots exploding nukes out of its ass to blow itself forward 😃😃😃
i love drawing him with babies..
"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it
Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.
So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.
But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.
This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components
Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.
Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it
Ok yeah fish is a better analogy for radiation here. Like theres hundreds of super piranhas poking holes in his ship and hes skittering around constantly patching the holes and rocky is like whats a fish. How dare you make a better analpgy than me on my own post

god forbid liu-shidi come sit in the shade
found you.
older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.
That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.
Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.
It’s time for my regular reblog of Gondor Needs No Pants
Frank Frazetta - Wikipedia
“I am definitely an ass man. It blows my mind. Talk about simple shapes. Two very simplistic curves. It’s so dumb, but they are fascinating as hell. It’s more than that. It’s the way the rest of the anatomy ties into that area — incredible beauty”
- Frank “godfather of fantasy art” Frazetta
in a world where most hanahaki sufferers cough up either the poetic blossoms - cherry, plum, apricot - or whichever decorative flowers the person they're in love with likes the most, what shang qinghua starts coughing up is unmistakeably the petals of some of the rarest flowers of this world.
at first even he has doubts - surely these can't be the petals of the midnight-burst fiery flower, which only grows in like two caves of the demon realm he's never been to, and the petals from yesterday could not have belonged to the highly exotic eternal purity blossom!
however one day shen qingqiu (sy) walks in on him by accident and immediately recognises the petals too. as a friend, he commiserates of course, but as the flora and fauna nerd he is, he's absolutely fascinated that shang qinghua's hanahaki has him coughing up the rarest pidw flowers - it must be because he's the author, shen qingqiu decides.
as the only one to know this secret, he covers shang qinghua at meetings when the disease progresses, individual petals giving way to small flower buds. this is when it really begins to hurt, shen qingqiu knows. so he sneaks in meds on an ding, shaking his head when he's greeted by the sight of shang qinghua bent over the desk trying to catch his breath, the floor around carpeted in pearlescent white, occasionally dotted with blood red.
"not only does he use you as his personal punching bag, now you're also about to hack up both lungs because of him? this is worse than all of your doomed romance side plots from pidw combined, airplane." the words are cold, but the hand that lands on shang qinghua's shoulder and begins to pour in qi is anything but.
shang qinghua only gives him a weak "i'm an idiot, i know" smile as he accepts the vial of medicine and downs it in one go. what else can he say?
it's not like he can ever let shen qingqiu know that the flowers are for him.

One weird experience of transitioning is failing at ur assigned gender role the whole time and everyone constantly deriding you for it but then u come out and it's like we lost a beautiful gender conforming warrior today. Must grieve for my wonderful child who pissed me off by being ugly and weird since day 1
it's a bird! it's a plane!
gotta be honest I think a REAL juicy dynamic is when someone has a True Love and a Soulmate and they are two different people
see this person is the love of my life I would follow them anywhere every day is brighter for having them in it. and THIS bastard shares a soul with me we'll find each other in every universe and understand each other in ways no other living being could. neither of us are particularly thrilled about this
...Nate, Sophie and Sterling.
Vimes, Sybil, and Vetinari.
