Place for stuff and whatnot

This is my secondary blog, for reblogging stuff and whatever. Just random fun stuff I find on tumblr. Here is my primary blog, PoundforPoundCake, where I post some art (lots of bbw and weight gain comics), and other somewhat related things.

Monster archive here, though none of the examples I doodled for this are actual existing monsters; I just thought this would be fun to make! Like the opening says, these are the things I do for this setting, not the things I think you should do (or even what I do in other settings) but if you design things at all, for any reason, think about what “principles” or “guidelines” you would list out yourself.

If you were directing another artist to match your work, how would you explain it to them?

What interests and tastes are repeatedly expressed by how you design things?

What would “generic” examples of your style look like?

If you have multiple series or settings, do they all share the same set of visual trends or do they differ?

Can you think of any personal preferences you would be happier to indulge more? Is there good reason you haven’t?

EVEN IF I DONT COMMENT BACK I WOULD BE EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY ENTHUSED TO READ ANYTHING YOU ADD ABOUT YOUR OWN WORK IN A REBLOG SO PLEASE DON’T THINK THAT’S RUDE OR WEIRD OR BORING TO DO

disc-winged bats have suction cups on their hands

sucker-footed bats are similar but they use sticky sweat, not suction cup hands

são tomé collared fruit bats have three lower incisors with one in the middle like tom cruise

mouse-tailed bats have really long tails 

new zealand short-tailed bats prefer to walk on the forest floor and often dig for food, they also sometimes dig burrows 

bulldog bats catch fish 

spectral bats catch and eat birds

bat wings have such large surface area with blood vessels so close to the skin that they can do up to 11% of their gas exchange directly through the skin, this is measured like this:

vampire bats are the only known vertebrates that lack maltase, the enzyme that breaks down maltose sugars

honduran white bats make leaf tents and sleep together in piles

now you know more about bats

Hi! Senior geology student with a special interest in volcanoes here!

As people are freaking out in the notes, I want to clarify a few things about volcanoes, and in particular Yellowstone.

1) Yellowstone is not "overdue for an eruption". That concept is a misunderstanding of how geologists determine the annual likelihood of a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes don't follow a schedule. A volcano's per-year likelihood of eruption is based on an average amount of time between major eruptions in the past. If a volcanoes average time between eruptions is 725,000 years, there is a 1/725,000 chance of it erupting in any given year. It is NOT a prediction of future eruptions. A volcano could erupt twice in two years. It could erupt one year and then never again.

2) someone mentioned the volcano being "150 years overdue for an eruption". That is a NEGLIGIBLE amount of time on the geologic time scale. There's an average 725,000 years between the last few eruptions. 150 years is nothing.

3) If a Yellowstone eruption DID occur, it would not likely be a catastrophic one. As the magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is mostly solid, it isn't likely that there's even enough magma for an eruption. Yellowstone may not ever even HAVE another catastrophic eruption.

4) When people say that "scientists say Yellowstone could erupt next week" or anything along those lines it's deliberate misinterpretation to get you to read an article. Every single time the scientist is trying to explain why Yellowstone isn't overdue, and that a volcano could erupt today or 500,000 years from now, therefore fearmongering about it needs to stop.

5) yes, there were 111 recorded earthquakes in Yellowstone during march. There were also 62 in Washington State in the last week. Earthquakes are literally always happening, and the Yellowstone observatory has stated that this activity is normal. Even where you are right now there are earthquakes. You may not feel them yourself, but a seismograph does. Earthquakes and a geyser are not indicative of a Yellowstone supereruption.

6) Steamboat geyser went through periods of more frequent eruptions in the 60s and 80s as well. This is not new.

The Earth isn't stable and unchanging. Don't freak out every time Yellowstone Does A Thing. That's what Earth does.

Are there any further concerns?

[eldensage]

Thank you so much for this. I'm in a really bad depressive period and this false news about Yellowstone has made it so much worse do I deeply appreciate you explaining

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here” is from The Tempest (you know, the Shakespeare play). But the rest of these are excellent unlikely-source quotes!
