The meeting of the Mirages!

[krinsyn]

cool mitosis stuff!

saw some cool mitotic figures today and have been making everyone I know look at them!

mitosis is the process of cellular division. I will spare you all the details!

circled in yellow is anaphase. note the spindle fibers pulling TWO vertical bunches of DNA to opposite sides of the cell:

now, in red, we see examples of three and SIX sets of spindle fibers!!

The example with six is also surrounded by many cells with other multiples that are not two. heck

Also, a very cute heart shaped nucleus (next to a normal anaphase):

aww :)

Happy Holidays! Hope you're all doing well and wishing you a wonderful New Year!

oh no!! too many pumpkins!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!! :D :D <3

Hi Krin! Was just thinking about you and your anatomica cybertronia/empurata works from a few years ago. By any chance were you able to sell any of your physical zines? I tried giving a look around but didn't see a link anywhere. If you have any of them available, I'd be super interested. If not, that's okay too. Have a great day!

OH WOW I am so sorry. I log in here VERY infrequently and I did not see this until 2ish months later. Hello!!

I never ended up selling any zines because... well setting up the shop was a little intimidating, and I figured the price to actually cover cost of materials and shipping etc might be higher than what people were willing to pay. I also suspected, if I set up my paypal for business, I would be spending more on having a tiny shop and lose money due to taxes and fees :/

I do still have booklets and stuff, though! All hand stitched years ago haha. Let's see... here's what I have:

ANATOMICA CYBERTRONIA

2 Anatomica Cybertronia of good quality (labeled "1st"), and 2 in "2nd" quality (there might be smudges, misprints, idk, something isn't quite right with it but it's still totally readable). These mini zines have chain stitching.

THE EMPURATA VICTIM

2 of best quality, 2 of "seconds" quality. These do not have stitching, they are folded.

THE ECHO GARDEN

32 page mini zine of first chapter of The Echo Garden by AltraViolet, cover art by MountainGhouls, all bound with permission. two folios bound together using the stitch you would use on hardcover books

VARIOUS SEA CUCUMBERS

1 16-page booklet of sea cucumbers, stitched binding

2 8-page booklets of sea cucumbers, folded, best quality

2 8-page booklets of sea cucumbers, folded, seconds quality

1 8-page black and white coloring book of sea cucumbers, folded, seconds quality

BONUS behind the scenes haha

It took a LOT of trial and error to get these little guys to a presentable stage. Here's a mighty pile of WIPs and experiments and things of "worse than seconds" quality. Many have pencil notes of me writing what went wrong/what to do next time:

I also have some leftover sea cucumber prints and cards, from back when I used to do those things [pride mini print, various mini prints, halloween cards, valentines day cards, etc]

If, after all this time, you (or anyone reading this) are still interested, feel free to email me and we can chat about price and shipping and stuff! It'll have to be first come first serve and first class (regular stamp, no tracking) mail.

krinsynhello @ gmail . com

Thank you for the ask and apologies again for the very late reply!

[krinsyn]

Empurata 2nd quality, 2 left, $2.00

Sea cucumber 8 page 1st quality, 2 left, $4.00

Sea cucumber 8 page 2nd quality, 2 left $2.00

Hello, I just discovered the "Anatomica Cybertronia" while searching for art tutorials on pinterest. I would like to ask if there is a pdf or some such that would allow easier browsing through its contents. (also your art is absolutely stellar!)

Thanks!

For the record, whoever put it on pinterest stole my art and I hate them. I do not have pdfs available. Anatomica Cybertronia lives in a series of tumblr posts, as it was always meant to.

[krinsyn]

I heard Mirage/Skywarp is having a little renaissance! Here are some sea cucumbers all in one place!

like the sea cucumber AU? check 'em out here :D (links to the tag)

Since you mentioned that you're not active here any more, do you have another social media where you are more active?

Not really to be honest. I check twitter every once in a while. I also have bsky and deviantart but I go there only a few times a year.

twitter and bsky: krinsyn

deviantart: thebutterfly

I don't post on dA anymore, but I do check messages and clear out the Watch notices

if you want to contact me, twitter is probably your best bet

[krinsyn]

update: I've locked my twitter and do not intend to return. I highly encourage anyone still there to lock your account and leave

bsky is the best place to contact me now... I don't post much there either, haha, but I do check it a few times a week

[gloriousmonsters]

when you're feeling full hater mode about a piece of media but you know one of your beloved mutuals enjoys it

[popgun76]

I think this is my first Tumblr post? Thought I’d check out this white hot new app

(It’s James Roberts — just realised that my username gives nothing away)

There may be some MTMTE fans on here who (wisely) avoid Twitter etc and so may not know about the MTMTE Notebooks and Scriptbooks that I make available once a year

These exclusive behind-the-scenes books are essentially creator journals chronicling the evolution of the series, containing pitches, concepts, character thumbnails etc that I worked on ahead of and during the comic’s run

If you’d like to find out more, email [email protected] and I’ll send you the details

Oh, and I have zero reach on here, so I’d be grateful if anyone who finds this and is a MTMTE fan could repost, or whatever the Tumblr term is

Thank you!
