On December 29th 1766 the chemist and inventor Charles Macintosh was born in Glasgow.

Charles Macintosh was the father of the modern waterproof raincoat – still commonly called a mac in his honour.

The son of a dyer, he decided at the age of 19 to pursue his interest in chemistry, opening a plant in the city of his birth to sell ammonium chloride and Prussian blue dye by the age of 20.

He also set up Scotland’s first alum works at Hurlet, Renfrewshire, in 1797.

But the thing for which he is best remembered is his rainproof “mac” coat.

While analysing the by-products of a works making coal gas in 1818, Macintosh discovered that one such substance possessed special properties.

Naptha – a by-product of tar – as able to dissolve India rubber – found in trees – forming a paste that was impermeable to water.

Macintosh realised that he could combine the substance with cloth by sandwiching it between two pieces of fabric, creating the basis for waterproof clothing.

He patented the process in 1823 and by the following year was producing the material.

The chemist set up his own company, joining forces with Thomas Hancock to perfect the process. The resulting raincoats – which ended up being manufactured in a range of styles – were named macs.

Macintosh died in 1843 and was buried with his parents in Glasgow, but the Mackintosh company (the k was added later) went on long after his death.

It was bought by Dunlop Rubber in 1925 and continues to produce upmarket coats to this day.

Macintosh was honoured witha Google Doodle in 2016, the 250th anniversary of his birth, tribute, the searcg engine wrote: “It’s a wonder how the weatherbeaten Brits coped before Scottish chemist Charles Macintosh invented his eponymous waterproof coat.”

It added “Macintosh enjoying a Scottish rain shower whilst testing his ingenious invention”

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

Once the results are done, I'll multiply 255 to the decimal version of the percentage, and see what color we make!!

im replaying ace attorney... here are some narumitsu things

I see posts go by periodically about how modern audiences are impatient or unwilling to trust the creator. And I agree that that's true. What the posts almost never mention, though, is that this didn't happen in a vacuum. Audiences have had their patience and trust beaten out of them by the popular media of the past few decades.

J J Abrams is famous for making stories that raise questions he never figures out how to answer. He's also the guy with some weird story about a present he never opened and how that's better than presents you open--failing to see that there's a difference between choosing not to open a present and being forbidden from opening one.

You've got lengthy media franchises where installments undo character development or satisfying resolutions from previous installments. Worse, there are media franchises with "trilogies" that are weird slap fights between the makers of each installment.

You've got wildly popular TV shows that end so poorly and unsatisfyingly that no one speaks of them again.

On top of that, a lot of the media actively punishes people for engaging thoughtfully with it. Creators panic and change their stories if the audience properly reacts to foreshadowing. Emotional parts of storytelling are trampled by jokes. Shocking the audience has become the go to, rather than providing a solid story.

Of course audiences have gotten cynical and untrusting! Of course they're unwilling to form their own expectations of what's coming! Of course they make the worst assumptions based on what's in front of them! The media they've been consuming has trained them well.

I'm here to combat the vicious homophobic granny smith rumours

[rissouu]

“the fuck are you doing, woman? you keep wakin’ me up,” sukuna woke up to your tossing and turning in bed. you’d been rolling around for the past hour now, not finding much comfort in the small breeze coming from the window. it was so god damn hot you felt like you were on fire.

the irritation in your boyfriends voice was clear, you almost felt bad for keeping him up, even if it wasn’t intentional. “‘m in pain ryo. i told you i started my period yesterday, my cramps are jus’ now showing up.”

your body was sprawled across the edge of the bed, a shaking mess. you couldn’t stop moving or the pain in your lower stomach would get even worse. you learned that over the many years of being cursed by this cycle all woman had to go through.

“tch,” he took one look at your shaking body through the darkness. the demon would never admit it, but he actually felt bad. he knew about women and how they usually endure this torture every month, but yours had never been this bad— from what he’s seen at least.

“y’think you’d feel better if i..” sukuna trailed off while staring at the pitch black ceiling. “cuddled you? i think that’s what they call it,” his hand played with the hem of your shirt. even though it was dark, he could still feel the gaze of your addicting eyes.

“you don’t have to ryo! i know that’s not your type of-”sukuna cut you off so quick, almost as if he already knew what you were going to say, and he didn’t want to hear it.

within a blink of an eye he gripped at your waist and pulled you closer to him, hands wrapped around you so tight that there was no room for escape. “shut up brat, n’ just let me do this for you.”

you gasped at the quick change in position, still shocked by how fast he moved. sukuna’s body heat was enough to put you at ease and before you knew it, the shaking had finally stopped.

it was probably because of the rather large hand rubbing at the skin of your lower stomach, or the soft hint of cologne engulfing your senses. you didn’t know what it was, but sukuna fixed your problem in an instant. the cramps were still there, coming and going here and there but they weren’t as painful anymore.

maybe now he could finally get some damn sleep.
