Hi, sorry to disturb you i just wanted to know if you've been working on no fun in fungus. No pressure since its almost the end of school so you might have work to do, its just that i cant wait to see what mikey's illusion is about .
Mikey’s illusion won’t be for a few updates, we still have Donnie’s hallucination to deal with!
I have been taking a lil break from the comic to do my own personal art stuff, but I’ll be getting back to the comic soon!
So here’s the art from session two! VERY ACTION PACKED
Henry (one of the characters) likes making brekkies for everyone (though he made this meal last session and I didn’t finish the art in time…)
We got ambushed by a trio of villains — one of which had this GIANT MONSTER DOG called Cerberus. COOL FIGHT SCENES ENSUED!
Millicent used her Chaos powers for the first time… and there is this little side effect called “Bedlam”, which is where if the final amount rolled is a doubles number (11, 22, 33, 44, etc.) then something very unlucky happens. I rolled a 22.
Henry somehow managed to tame the Astor Vultures and shocked all of us.
A character called Ibba arrived post battle to help explain some stuff. Ibba knows about Millicent’s powers and past (Ibba has a knowledge ability, she’s a walking dictionary of everything). Millicent had a private talk with her about it and revealed some really deep insecurities she has about Chaos.
Ibba also helped connect the dots between the bad guys we’re fighting and a kid named Luca who we have been really worried about. Apollo was not happy when he realized what’s happening. (Art coming soon)
Henry’s power is not just cooking! His real talent is being able to materialize anything that he draws on his skin. He made a special ice cream for Luca. (Art coming soon)
More to come! We’ve already had our third session and more art has been planned!
Session one art
@thecrystalauthor
She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out.
She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas.
81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving.
The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself.
Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held.
Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving.
The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything.
She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse.
Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one.
When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up.
The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other.
When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking.
The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving.
You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state.

hi! i know you are busy with drawing no fun in fungus, but i was wondering if you are planning to continue your fics Hide and Seek or Until I Found You? absolutely no pressure to continue them! as someone with many unfinished wips, i completely understand the feelings of not having the time, motivation, and/or interest in finishing some stories. i am just curious! i haven’t started reading either of them yet (and i will read them even if you don’t plan on finishing them), but wanted to know if i should be on the lookout for updates before i start them :3
again, no pressure and no obligation! i love your art and cant wait to check out your writing! hope you’re doing great! <3
Hi!
I do still want to finish both of those stories. Hide and Seek is closer to being finished, it only has two more chapters left — one of which is halfway done! UIFY is still in progress.
Currently I got obsessed with Michelangelo’s Separation of Light From Darkness, a series I started just so I can have fun writing and not feel obligated to write it. I love writing, but even my favourite things can start to feel like obligations sometimes if they get popular. I also got obsessed with the new campaign (Patchwork: Origins) my friends and I started, so I’ve been making a lot of art for them as well which I’ll be sharing eventually.
I do plan on continuing/finishing Hide & Seek and UIFY, though I can’t say when. NFIF comic and Patchworks: Origins have taken up majority of residency in my head so it might take some time!
I've been watching yesterday Atlantis The Lost Empire, and I just read a fanfic where Leo is linguist who help Yuichi who is archeologist with decoding old message, and that's when I thought of story Hide and Seek, most specifically of Leo and his dyslexia headcanon. It made thinking of idea where his dyslexia might be result of empyrean, so he has problem read usual letters, but he can read krang language or any dead language similar to it, like how Percy Jackson had similar case of dyslexia where he can read Greek runes instead of English letters.
What do you think of it?
OOOOOHHH that is cool! I do like the idea that Leo may be better at reading Krang or Yokai written languages than human languages.
I came up with the headcanon primarily because of my sister. She has dyslexia and her fav Rise character is Leo, so that’s where I got the idea from. I did read that some with dyslexia are better at 3D reasoning, shape recognition, and pattern-based thinking. This helps with things like chemistry, which my sister is a genius at. So yeah, with alphabets that are more shape-based or pattern-based, Leo may be better at those than typical human alphabets!
obsessed with stories that start out silly and stupid and then turn out to be deep and heartbreaking in their beauty. like okay, make me cry at midnight while i reflect on the true meaning of friendship i guess

Their long suffering associate, the "Sharpen Cleric that Sharpens you (badly)"
Nooo!!! What have you all unleashed upon us!?!
dont forget the chromatic abberation warlock that chromatically abberates you
may I add Mystic Mosiac who turns your quality waaaaaaay down
What did he do to deserve this
punished by the council
FOOLS!!!! YOU ARE ALL NOTHING BENEATH THE MIGHTY POWER OF MY JPEG ARTIFACT
As a digital artist I cannot tell you the insane amount of whimsy and giggles this gives me
Caine and Kit.
Flappers reminded me of him.
ohhhhhh my god
Just saw the pilot and
These aren’t the reasons I personally relate to Caine, but I thought I’d pass them along if some of you might need em!
Translation: There might be some memories you haven't processed and healed from yet. You should do that.
"He's so me! "
No, you're just autistic
Sh-shut up!
*runs away crying only to show this to everyone I know that is a Caine hater or Caine stan*
KICK THE CAN!
Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.
I finished making a Picrew I've been working on for a while! You can use it to show what's in your bag or your ocs' bags. Please try it out and tag me in your creations!
Knowing what objects are important to someone can tell you about parts of a person's personality, interests, and preferences that may not be
Some examples of what you can make:
Made my OC's bag :]
also BUN THIS PICREW IS SO LIT YOU DID A GREAT JOB I SO PROUD :DDD!!!
My bag:
and yes it is just as chaotic in real life
