#volcano embroidery

[twofacedgods]

A little bit of lava. A first attempt at embroidering an effusive eruption, in the style perhaps of fissural eruptions in Iceland or Hawaii.

Home Planet Outfits

Designer’s notes

Dogday’s planet, Soleana, is a very arid and warm planet with beaches, their clothes are essentially meant to keep them fresh but also protecting them from the hot sun they worship.

Catnap’s planet, Lunaris, is a planet with many moons and in perpetual darkness, because of it, they often wear clothes made of cotton, meant to be comfortable and easy to sleep on, as you can see, the citizens of Lunaris are perpetually sleepy.

Hoppy’s planet, Relanpago, is a planet buzzing with electricity and life, however the citizens are naturally immune to the electrical currents of the planet.

Crafty’s planet, Prismascope, is a planet filled with colors, and because of it, it is natural for the citizen’s outfits to be darker, allowing embroideries, flowers, or other jewelries to really shine through.

Picky’s planet, Colheita, is a planet known for its boundless agriculture and culinary wonders, the leading planet in culinary cultures across the galaxies. They wear easily washable clothes as sometimes cooking can be messy.

Bubba’s planet, Padma, is a planet known for its leading technological and intelligence advances. Their national flower, the Lotus, is shown everywhere, including clothes and even tattoos. Inhabitants with said Lotus tattoos are known to have been blessed by the goddess they worship.

Kickin’s planet, Pyroma, is a planet that thrives with their ring of fires, because of it, their clothes often reflect the fiery colors of a volcano. They’re also fire resistant.

Bobby’s planet, Corazon, is a planet of eternal spring, so inhabitant often wear comfortable and loose outfits.

nightwing funeral headcanons!

in darkstalker’s time, the dead had their eyes wrapped in a black cloth with silver embroidery. seers had an eye in the center with a moon pupil, mind readers had a moon in the center and two stars near their eyes, and the imperial had a lantern with a moon in it. dragons born under multiple moons had some combination, and would have the number of moons. non-blessed dragons have the constellation they were born under. the bodies would then be burned, to release the spirit to the stars.

on the volcano, dead dragons were thrown into the lava.

in the rainforest, glory gave them a place to burn their dead. they began making the constellation shrouds after they found documents about it in the old night kingdom.

Rykard had the forget tonic on hand for tanith when he went silly mode. Do you think he got it from perfumers, from carian preceptors, was it inquisition inventory as a wellness tool, or something else

I’ve always wondered this! I think my best guess as to where it came from would be the perfumers… before the shattering, they were apothecaries and healers, and in a way, the tonic of forgetfulness can be seen as a balm for the mind. However, if this tonic came from a perfumer, it would have had to be before Rykard’s treason — the perfumers are proud of their Erdtree loyalty and wear that symbol on their aprons! In this case, perhaps it could have been a tool for inquisitors to forget the horrific sights of torture and the screams of their victims??

There’s another option, though… it could have also come from a depraved perfumer. These guys are said to be “heresy-inclined” — “The embroidery on the apron is itself a curse upon the Erdtree.” Their aprons are decorated with serpents, seen as traitors to the Erdtree. Depraved perfumers are also said to “imbibe their own spices to alter body and mind,” and you could definitely say that the tonic of forgetfulness alters the mind… even though I said earlier that it could be seen as a balm to the mind, I also think there’s something kinda nefarious about wiping your memory (or rather, someone else’s… looking at you, Tanith) in order to banish distress. So given the whole heresy and serpents thing, it seems like depraved perfumers would be likely to hang around Rykard... and as a matter of fact, they did! We can find Depraved Perfumer Carmaan’s spirit ashes in a Volcano Manor room. Carmaan could’ve made the tonic, but his description also says that “depraved perfumers practice their art for themselves alone” so it doesn’t seem likely that he or another would’ve made the tonic on Rykard’s behalf. Unless he killed Carmaan and stole it off his corpse and that’s why his ashes are stuffed in a guest room

ok my actual answer is that I’ve thought about this for too long and there probably isn’t meant to be an answer lmao

Have some more Magic School Bus au stuff because my little nostalgia brain won’t shut up

Field trips mainly consist of time travel, teleporting into different books, time traveling to when authors were writing those books, and more. So much more

Nathaniel has a pet chameleon named Picasso

Mme. Bustier successfully managed to pass along her style genes to her son. His outfits are mostly inspired by famous historical paintings. Mainly Van Gogh

The Akuma Class heard tales of Mme. Bustier’s crazy field trips years back, and had no idea what they were getting themselves into

One time, when Nathaniel was ten, she let him drive Bus during a field trip. It freaked her students out, and they were clawing at the windows

But, he’s gotten better over the years

Mme. Bustier: *As the students board Bus* I hope you all are excited! I've got an exciting day planned!

Nino: Hey, as long as we don't crash into another volcano, I'm fine.

Nathaniel: *Behind the wheel* Buckle up, bitches! We're going in Moby Dick!

Sabrina: Why is he driving?!

Nathaniel: I need the practice. Now, are the brakes on the left, or the right?... Oh, well! I'll figure it out.

Mme. Bustier: Exactly. Mistakes are how we learn and grow as individuals. *Puts on a helmet* Step on it, sweetie!

Marinette is desperately trying to learn how Mme. Bustier and Nathaniel get the embroidery and prints on their clothes to move

They’re not telling

Most of the field trip suggestions come from Adrien, who wasn’t expecting school to be this fun! He wants to go in Sherlock Holmes, and no one can stop him!

One time, they traveled back to the 90s, and things got wild when they ran into a certain someone

Mme. Bustier: Hello, mom!

Nathaniel: Hi, grandma!

Ms. Frizzle: Caline! Nathan! I was wondering when you two would come visit again!

Akuma Class: …

Frizzle’s Class: …

Wanda: Have you guys also been in a volcano?

Marinette: … Many times.

Nine People I’d Like to Know Better, tagged by @its-sorcery <3

Last song I listened to: “Young Volcanoes” by Fall Out Boy because I am going through their Spotify and adding songs to my Liked Songs playlist, and yes, that one got liked :)

Currently watching: House of the Dragon, which is on a once-a-week schedule, which is a refreshing change. Love having something to look forward to. The show itself is…fine.

I am also watching any and all standup comedy shows on HBO Max because I am at that point in The Sads where I turn to standup. Seriously, if you ever want to know whether it’s Gotten Bad, just see if I am watching standup. (If I am watching Dylan Moran for the tenth time then that’s Defcon 1.)

Sweet/savory/spicy: Sour! Where is the love for sour?! Oh sour, my beloved. But if I can only pick from those three then I guess my having inhaled a spicy chili party mix bag yesterday answers that question. (Wasn’t even spicy spicy.)

Relationship status: In multiple loving friendships <3 (But yeah as single as a period. Not even a colon. Or, dare I hope, an ellipsis.)

Current obsession: Planet of the Apes babyyyy. Kingdom of the PotA has been promised to come on streaming this month and I am so ready. (I am also reading All the Novels, prequels and novelizations alike.)

Aside from that, The Sads has been dulling everything a little so my usual Write All the Things obsession has withered to a husk, and my God I Hate It experience with my latest embroidery is taking all the fun out of there, so we are…light on obsessions lately.

Tagging: @icarus-suraki, @pepperf, @spoopy-action-at-distance, @pissthena, @cargopantsman, @the-lemon-is-in-play, @notascreepyasyouthink, @navramanan,

I know this may be a silly thing, but I was listening to Seal's Kiss From A Rose and had a really cool picture in my head with the world going gray except for the colors of everyone's eyes.

I guess what I'm saying is that Zuko's eyes and Katara's eyes are the only thing in color?

I guess this is a prompt?

World in Gray

The world was devoid of color. 

It was as if the Moon had disappeared from the sky, but its light still came through the veil of volcanic ash in the atmosphere. Everything was gray. From the rooftops to the trees that were just starting to sprout their first blossoms of spring. Even in this world without color, there was still a splash of bright blue and warm gold. 

She had come from the south when she heard about the eruption across the archipelago and how it cooled the seasons, bringing with it sickness. There was some little piece of her that longed to see him, but he had been shut up in the palace. Ash was still in the air. However, winter had lingered much closer to the mid latitudes this year, making volcanic ash mix with the snow that fell on the capitol. The bright reds that his people wore had become muted in the filtered light of the Sun during the day, but at night, it was as if gray had become the official color. 

Even her blues seemed muted. 

Perhaps the world would clear eventually, but for now, they were stuck in this reality of subdued shades of black and white. A place that felt depressing and less hopeful by the moment as she walked through the streets with a scarf covering the lower half of her face. There was only so much she could bring with her. The blue scarf that he had sent her for her birthday a few years ago was no longer the deep blue she loved. 

She was supposed to have landed in the Fire Nation a few days ago, however a storm had caught them out in the Mo Ce Sea, blowing them off course. He would forgive her for her tardiness. After all, he was Zuko. He understood how strange and unforgivable the ocean could be. 

The steps of the palace were covered in dirty snow that was nowhere near the white of the snow at the poles. She wondered how a volcano could cause this much of a shift in the climate within a few weeks. A warning came from the Avatar about a great change in nature that could cause winter to linger a bit more than usual. Already, the ice sheets had grown a considerable amount in both polar regions. 

It was going to be a long year for everyone on the planet. 

Despite that, she insisted on answering his call to her. She asked no questions; only packed the necessities and boarded the nearest ship to the Southern Water Tribe. Now she was there, knocking on the doors of the palace with nothing but the blue of her eyes in a world of gray. 

She was led to the garden where she stood out in the middle of the ash colored snow under the filtered moonlight. 

There he was, standing underneath what she knew to be a cherry tree, but it’s blossoms were indistinguishable from the monochromatic garden around them. He was there looking as regal as he had been since the last time she had seen him. The last time he had touched her softly on the lips and kissed her temple before sending her back home. 

His hair was longer now… almost halfway down his back with half of it up in a topknot. The Firelord’s crown reflects the silver light with a brass sheen. His robes, absent of the broad shoulder pieces that were now out of style, were replaced with what should have been golden dragon embroidery that looked more pewter than gold. He held his arm behind his back, giving off the air of his status as the guard bowed before leaving the two of them alone. 

“Zuko.” She whispered out his name, causing him to turn his head. 

Warm golden eyes that contrasted the gray world around them filled her with a fire that only he could ignite. Irises that held the light of the sun clashed against her bright marine eyes that only grew in intensity. 

“Katara.” He spoke looking at her with a smile on his lips. Suddenly, the world was less black and white, but there was color in the way that the two of them saw each other. 

Katara said nothing as he walked to her, gently removing the scarf from the lower part of her face. His hand on her cheek as his thumb softly ran over her lips. Their eyes, brighter than the moon and sun, stare into each other with longing. 

Her lips were softer than the cherry blossom petals that were slowly turning pink. 

I have to admit this was a pretty damn good prompt that had me going back to 1995.

I hope the imagery does this justice.

Let's Talk Sea Slugs: Rostanga pulchara

Rostanga pulchara is a small species of dorid nudibranch commonly found grazing on the red sponges that give it its color.

The adult below was 16mm long and 8mm wide, but they can grow to as large as 33mm long (Jensen et al 2018).

Above - Adult Rostanga pulchara collected from Cattle Point Intertidal, San Juan Island by Babonis Lab, Summer 2022.

Above - Closeups of Rostanga pulchara. Left - mantle showing the texture and shape of the tubercles. Center - gills. Right - rhinophore.

Along with size and color, a defining characteristic of the nudibranch is its uniquely shaped rhinophores (Jensen et al 2018). One is pictured above on the right.

A good way to find them in the wild is to look for the sponges that they eat. Two of these species are the velvety Clathria pennata and the "volcano-shaped" Acarnus erithacus (Jensen et al 2018). Both sponges are encrusting and highly pigmented.

The pigments from the sponge not only color the adult nudibranchs, but also their eggs (Jensen et al 2018). This can be seen in the early embryos below.

Above - Rostanga pulchara embryos, 2-cell and 4-cell stages. Viewed on 6/21/2022 under 40x magnification. The center 2-cell embryo was 111 microns across.

A week and a half later, these embryos had developed close to the point of hatching.

Unhatched veliger larvae, with visible shell anViewed on 7/1/2022 under 40X magnification. The center embryo measured at 125 microns across.

These nudibranchs, like many others, have a larval form called veligers. These veligers have shells and big ciliated lobes.

Hatched veliger larvae. Viewed on 7/7/2022 under 40X magnification.

Hatched veliger larvae from the same clutch of original eggs. Viewed on 7/13/2022 under 20X magnification. The larvae on the right was measured as 194 microns across the veler lobes and 178 micros from the top of the shell down to where the veler lobes exit the shell.
