My character Ruby from the latest dnd oneshot i played
She got sent flying like 5 meters by our paladin dsjdbsd
tried to add some colour! I'm not very comfortable doing colours digitally i prefer my watercolours :) Anyways enjoy
Tried to make Elendira x Midvalley moodboard with like 60's-80's themes, would be the ship name Crimsonvalley??
I tried to find and edit the photos for it
Second official elenval post ( elendira x midvalley ) but this time they are kissing o.o They are meant for each other and it should be popular ship

Two 17-year-olds have won USD50,000 for inventing a device that uses ultrasonic sound waves to filter microplastics from water.
From the article:
The two students presented their groundbreaking project at the 2024 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF); a device that operates by using ultrasound waves to push microplastic particles to one side of a water flow, allowing clean water to pass through while trapping the contaminants. In their tests, the system successfully captured up to 94 per cent of microplastic particles, showing promise for real-world applications. "If we could refine this, maybe use more professional equipment, maybe go to a lab instead of testing from our home, we could really improve our device and get it ready for large-scale manufacturing," Justin told Business Insider. The duo envisioned their device being used in water treatment plants, directly modifying the quality of water for daily use. This application could significantly reduce the amount of microplastics that end up in water sources, protecting ecosystems and human health.
if you concentrate really hard you can exude all of your microplastics into a thin waxy layer, not unlike that of a babybel cheese
lets go little guys, your sacrifice will not be forgotten o7 :(

Breaking News: czech republic apparently safe space for fairy population!
no more mouth to mouth with dolphins :(((
PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF
hi its been a while Have you thought about micro plastics this week? About the nano sized particles of synthetic polychains which can be found anywhere you look, from the deepest parts of the ocean till the clouds flying above us? Found in every depot of water, food, the ground and even in us. Do you like that? You probably havent even noticed because why would you. Its not like you can see them.
What you didnt expect aside from the inflammatory and cancer inducing health risk these particles provide, is the influence micro plastics have on the fae population on our planet. When was the last time that you have seen a fairy or fae-like creature? You dont remember? Oh you havent ever seen one at all? Well think about it and think about what the reason could be. In the meantime let me explain Fairies and their relationship to human-made materials.
As you all probably know, any Fae is hurt by iron as it is not only a dense and "cold" structure which grounds and shackles them but also inflicts them with burns if further processed. Its as fascinating as its tragic how this "allergic" reaction towards synthetic products persists with any other overly processed material, plastics included. Important to the factor if a material is harmful to a fairy seems to be 1) its density 2) its conductivity and 3) the degree of its artificiality. You might already see where this is going. Plastic as one of the most artificial humanly produced material, even though it doesnt have that much of a density, proves itself of being a direct and severe threat to a Fae-like creature! Its not enough to instantly kill them of course but with micro plastics being present literally EVERYWHERE since the last 10-20 years, the health of this once prospering taxon is continuing to suffer more and more. The exact effects of micro plastic on their organism is yet to be fully studied but the symptoms are clear and on hand: Depending on the stage of intoxication the fae shows symptoms like
-allergic reactions,
-inflammations
-development of ulcera -high risk of systemic infections, probably caused by pathogens sticking on the plastics' surface -migraines -numbness in the distal limbs -rheumatism As the fairy incooperates more plastic into its organsim the symptoms worsen: -spontaneus anaphylactic shocks -necrosis of tissue -sepsis -continuous migraines to the point of black-outs, delirium and hallucinations -degeneration of neurons and loss of motor functions -decline of bone marrow and blood cells produced by it, leading i.a to anemia Until eventually the fairy dies a gruesom and inhuman death.
"Oh Ushiab but why should we protect the fairies? Why even care? They are pesky, are of no use to us, pay no taxes and quite honestly arent they just a fairy tale?" WRONG WRONG WRONG Thats why its important to keep the people educated! Only with a functional eco system our world is capable of withstanding struggles like climate change and can maintain a suitable space for plants and animals to thrive! Creatures of the Fae Realm are as part of the eco system as any other living being! They hunt, collect, protect and keep the forests in check. If you think a forest just grows on its own or with the help of some squirrels planting a few nuts you are dead wrong! Without them the trees catch illnesses, the canopies lighten, water escapes the ground and eventually the whole forest will turn into plains... How this is of relevancy to everyone including us humans shouldnt be a question! With the climate change causing more and more extreme weather conditions, forests more than ever need to be resilient against droughts, floods or parasites. But sadly we, as the poducers of nearly 200 million tons of plastic worldwide ever. single. year. are the biggest threat not only to the fae population but also, and ironically, to ourselves. I know me and you arent capable of removing micro plastics from the environment but we can help to reduce plastic waste laying around and prevent it from degrading into smaller plastic particles. So next time you take a stroll thorugh the wilderness and you see someone's trash, kindly pick it up and properly dispose of it. Thank you <3
was delighted to see people enjoying the scavenger's design :'D
Researchers have discovered microplastic pieces in samples of the human brain at higher levels than expected.
Excerpt from this EcoWatch story:
It’s well-known that microplastics are pervasive, with scientists finding microplastics in testicular tissue, lungs and even blood. But now, researchers have discovered microplastic pieces in samples of the human brain at higher levels than expected.
In a new pre-printed study published early by the National Library of Medicine, scientists analyzed plastic content in the livers, kidneys and brains of autopsied human bodies. While the team found microplastics in all of the organs, the scientists were concerned that the average amount of microplastics in the 91 brain samples was between 7 and 30 times higher than the amount of microplastics in the liver and kidney samples.
“It’s pretty alarming,” Matthew Campen, lead author of the study and professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico, told The Guardian. “There’s much more plastic in our brains than I ever would have imagined or been comfortable with.”
In the study, the authors revealed that 24 of the brain samples that had been collected earlier this year were comprised of about 0.5% plastic. The amount of plastic found in the 2024 brain samples was also around 50% higher than the plastic amount in brain samples from 2016.
Of the detected microplastics, scientists found that polyethylene was the most prevalent. As reported by Britannica, polyethylene is the most widely used plastic polymer globally and is commonly used in packaging and plastic bags.
The study further revealed that microplastics are selectively accumulating in the brain, causing an increase in the concentration of plastic in the brain in the long-term. This could present links between microplastics and certain diseases, but more research is needed to determine the risks.
“The parallels between the present data showing an increasing trend in MNP concentrations in the brain with exponentially rising environmental presence of microplastics and increasing global rates of age-corrected Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, given the potential role of anionic nanoplastics in protein aggregation, add urgency to understanding the impacts of MNP on human health,” the study concluded.
