No I need to make a fucking post about this because I just stumbled on this paper, and this is insane.
Going to be talking about and sharing images of various insects. You have been notified.
So y'all know fleas. The little parasitic insects.

Yeah. Those guys.
Well. This study did genetic analysis on fleas (and several other insects) to find out what these guys derive from. Because up to this point, fleas have been just these weird little things in their own order that are... somewhere??? in the Antliophora clade. Previous scientists have thought maybe they're some weird offshoot of Diptera (true flies), because they do actually have vestigial little wing casings.
But this study, and the genetic analysis they did, revealed that fleas are not especially similar to Diptera. They're actually most similar to Mecoptera. Scorpionflies.

That's right. These guys.
Which is completely and utterly insane to me. You're telling me these big, super unique and specialized, weird-ass bugs, somewhere down the line, created an offshoot of these tiny little insects that lose their wings in favor of hopping around, that parasitize vertebrates and feed on blood? Scorpionflies did that??
Idk this is just. So so interesting to me. The Big wide beautiful world of entomology.
Here's that study. I think you'll have to make an account on the site in order to read it (though I can also just send any interested folks the file I downloaded, since I successfully made an account), but it is SO fascinating.
#i was trying to acces this site for acarology articles for a future paleo class project btw#the prof asked what topic we wanted to do a 15 minute oresentation on and i was like. can i do paleoacarology pleaseeeee#and he was like “if you can find enough material to talk for 15 minutes then sure”#so i was like “yeah bet”#so now i'm looking for fossil mites :]#this was a side-adventure that fascinated me completely#anyway#entomology#bugblr#bugs#fleas#scorpionflies#scientific research#scientific paper

Still messing around with design concepts for a physical representation of ART in the feed.
Essentially, the more split its focus is (or the more distant) the smaller and less defined its shape and the more it tends "trail data." The more present or focused it is, the larger its presence and the more Shaped it becomes. Next I'll be coming up with a suitable Intimidation Mode™ for it and I may attempt a more realistic version of both it and Murderbot if I'm feeling ambitious....
Thanks to @soundwavereporting and @scificrows for the enabling, brainstorming, and encouragement!! <3
Inspiration from: angelic TrueForms, Studio Ghibli spirits, Glyph and EDI from Mass Effect, Owlbears (so Shaped lol) and Venom (subconsciously apparently lol)
#fanart#ART (asshole research transport)#Perihelion#asshole research transport#Murderbot#the murderbot diaries#Murderbot Diaries#concept design#character design#i knew i wanted it humanoid for future fanart purposes but i really didn't want it looking *human*#i also wanted to give it a more hologram feel to it but it was too much detail for these little sketches#so i might try adding it to future pieces#also do i keep it blue? im partial to the blue... but orange or green could be cool too

continuation? of this comic from earlier~
there are two reasons why I keep drawing them as these gods:
They really do have to do with them. That isn't even a speculation for me at this point, it's something so obvious
I can draw them all lovey-dovey and wholesome I want, because the gods seem to get along really well ;v;) it'd be out of character to draw them otherwise
and mythology is interesting~
#oshi no ko#hikaai#hikaru kamiki#ai hoshino#oshi no ko spoilers#doodle#spoilers#I don't really agree with the way this manga handles things but#what I can give credit for is how they got very creative with taking elements from the myths and recreating/incorporated them#that's something I'd like to do with my original works in the future#idk about hikaru(actually I do) but his god counterpart; I think he'd have been a great spouse honestly#amenozume really did choose the best guy the way I see it? maybe I don't know enough but I felt that way after researching a bit#and ofc she's really cute and lovely and better yet- upfront and courageous#THAT'S WHY HIKARU'S ALL LIKE “I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU” IN THE SONGS~!~ HOW CAN HE BE SANE LOSING A LOVER LIKE THAT IN THAT HORRIBLE WAY#I get frustrated at how ambiguous this comic is but Ai's death ISN'T HIS FAULT...he wanted her back!!!! he went crazy bc he missed her okay

stede is 'oh this place has something related to my interest i must go in immediately' autistic and izzy is 'if we deviate one inch from my plan for today i will murder someone' autistic
#stede wandering off into the forest to look at bugs was not on the schedule or any of izzys contingency schedules#new thing i think would fix izzy: a clear fucking plan#in the nebulous reunion timeline future i see izzy researching every port town they are gonna stop in HARD so he can figure out everywhere#stede + ed might possibly want to go and plan several routes for the day to keep himself calm in the inevitable chaos#(and yet somehow every time stede finds something he missed and they still go off script anyway)#(he tries to go separately around port from them one time and its a fucking disaster; someone gets stabbed; so he just resigns himself to#incredibly stressful port stops)#its not like stede + ed mean to do it!! theyre both awful for it individually and they just feed off each other#its ok because theyre very good at letting izzy have the deck Exactly how he wants it and scheduling as much big picture stuff as they can#with him#(when stede realises theyve been the cause of like. 65% of izzys stress they finally agree to let him redo the rigging as an apology and#they suddenly realise watching him buy the supplies that hes just as bad as them in his own way)#(he absolutely terrorizes the rope guy but they have never seen him so relaxed as when he was up there redoing all the lines)#nyxtalks#ofmd#izzy hands#israel hands#stede bonnet#you can pry autistic izzy away from my cold dead hands

this nemesis ambition started out a little slow but I am getting closer to finding that bastard who killed my wife, and I’ll not rest a minute now that im far closer to on his trail
sorry got in character for a second
Anyways fun ambition so far very fucked up though
congratulations on joining the murder club anon!!!! depending on who you ask the name refers to either people who have murdered or people who have witnessed murder. usually both. actually extremely often both. it's a swell time you'll feel right at home (don't mind our collective skyglass knife collection in the back)
#im still not far into nemesis personally but im very much enjoying it#honestly in a weird way it feels like it's moving faster than HD did. which. is funny bc nemesis is like The gated behind item grinds quest#idk. HD was a fun slowburn where we adventured around gathering our rogues gallery before the action kicked in#nemesis on the other hand feels like im picking up halfway through a batman serial#fallen london#ask#it's WAY more fucked up right off the bat than HD was. honestly ive thought abt red honey for ages. that's so fucked up#and we LEAD with that?? Okay#definitely a horrors-filled ambition befitting caeru (the guy who's constantly going through horrors)#it really encourages you to get fucked up and freaky and in ur character's headspace at basically every step along the way#i only have HD to compare it too but HD was like. a lot more interpretative in comparison? at least to me. that's what it felt like#and i adore HD for that dont get me wrong here#HD just also waited until like. halfway through before it asked what the scoundrel actually Wanted out of its heart's desire#nemesis in comparison is right off the bat who died? who are you mourning? anguish. justice. there must be vengeance.#it's a delightfully different vibe!! i like it!!!#oh god sorry anon im doing the classic yin talking way too much in the tags thing again#i havent had much excuse to talk abt nemesis and what i think of it so far and of course its rp effects on caeru#but i do have a handful of thoughts on it#it's good. im liking it so far. it's starting very strong if nothing else. and i have no spoiler knowledge of what happens in the future#beyond the choice between rewards at the very end#and im SO curious how we'll get to that point. what horrors will we adventure through next? off we go to find out!#it's biggest glaring weakness so far is how horrendously grindy it is. and like. ive been warned and done my research ahead of time#im doing it on the same account im seeking. i knew what i was getting into. but also gots damn.#in comparison HD's 5-card lodgings and dreamgate feel like footnotes#anyway while im already way too deep into rambling did you know the honey trip gives you fate?? insane. why does it do that. hilarious even

the tumblr hot takes re: Tesla owners and saying things like ‘I spit in the door handles of every Tesla I see uwu’ are absolutely batshit lmao
because Tesla was the first all-electric vehicle highly popularized in the US. most if not all initial buyers were planet-hugging liberals who wanted to stop using fossil fuels. it started as a status symbol of ‘I could spend my money on a luxury car, BUT I care about the environment! And don’t have to give up looks or having fun driving!’
Which eventually lead to teslas being the most affordable all-electric option. For a number of years. Tesla and SpaceX, over 15 years ago, were incredibly innovative and seen as a liberation from over reliance on fossil fuels
Like. This bitch built his empire tugging on environmentalist heartstrings. The people that own teslas are not your enemy; they’re much more likely to be disgusted with Elon like the rest of us
#on that note spit on all the cybertruck owners handles like fuck em#I live in California. there is not enough spit in the world#and yes. NOW there are better and non-fascist supporting electric vehicles#but unfortunately most people can’t like… buy a new car every 3 years#‘why not use other modes of transport’ - would if they existed. alas.#’why don’t you just get a new car’ - do you think money grows on trees. teslas are no longer cars for exorbitantly wealthy people lmao#‘why don’t you just’ you are an idiot. goodbye#before Elon opened his stupid ass mouth people weren’t like… researching his personal history before getting a car#I don’t know what the fuck the president of Toyota does but still bought their car#it’s just… so ridiculous#like Elon. Elon. who the FUCK do you think buys your car#it’s not farmers in rural Kansas I’ll tell you what….#the first model 3 which is the first affordable tesla came out in 2017!!!!#I was in high school when tesls started releasing cars in 2008 and it was absolutely game-changing!!#like talk about a generation of hope. Obama gets elected. gay marriage gets legalized. 100% electric vehicles start getting made#this bitch Elon who we knew nothing about was talking about sending people to mars#and fuck us if for some reason we believed it#it’s endlessly disappointing what that hopeful future has turned into#that said I bought a new car that’s a plug in electric#and it’s dope. zippy and fun. and it’s cool that I’ve used only the electric motor#and haven’t used any gas#for like 500 miles#anyway I didn’t want to interact with the original post#because this is the no nuance piss on the poor web site#and truly like. why argue with the stupidest people on the planet

Hmmmmm did Harald rip out his horns before or after he commissioned Saul to open the walrus school/owl library hmmmmmm
#one piece#king harald#the horns thing is an indicator that he got truly lost in the wg propaganda bubble#and the wg obviously wanted to erase any and all research from ohara#and yet it persevered and harald even made sure that this would become part of Elbaph's education#i suppose the wg couldn't influence him beyond his pacifist ideals#but i DO believe that they wanted the legendary devil fruit all along. as in that was their end goal#weakening elbaphs future military power was a nice side effect for them methinks#elbaf#elbaf arc#elbaf spoilers#elbaph#elbaph arc#elbaph spoilers

Can we all manifest together that I get accepted into this university for a journalism major so I can interview Jeremy Strong one day? Okay the Jeremy thing is a bit too far and a joke lol.
Manifest the acceptance letter for me you guys🤞🏻
If I get accepted I will treat myself either by getting crumbl cookie or going to the one store full of Hello Kitty stuff. I’m not allowed to go in that store I put that rule on myself because I know I’ll spend a crazy amount of money cause I let my excitement get the best of me lol.
#my stuff#after spending a year learning new things trying new hobbies and researching what is I want to do..#I have finally decided what it is I want for me and my future

i love "look up" as the successor to the tagline "you'll believe a man can fly" from superman (1978). it's only two words, but it does a great job at subtly conveying that sense of optimism, hope, and wonder that superman inspires.
#bluebird.txt#[cautiously] we are so back...#superman#now i want to do a bunch of research into superman history and movie history and american history to truly see#why 'you'll believe a man can fly' is great#i have some stuff to say but i don't wanna say it without backup yk#'look up' as in look to the future look to hope look to improvement#but also 'look up' as OH MY GOD THERES A GUY UP THERE...HE'S FLYING...LOOK!!!! LOOK UP HES RIGHT THERE!!!!!#I LOVE IT <333#james gunn do not FUCKING disappoint meeeee

Me: Is this Farmer Boy sequel written in 2012 really going to be able to feel like a legitimate follow-up to the style and atmosphere of the original, or is it just another modern cash-grab?
Heather Williams, on page 2: Best of all, he knew that fall meant crispy spareribs and sweet cider and hot roasted potatoes with melting butter and all the pumpkin pie he could eat.
Me: ....it looks like I can trust you. Carry on.
#little house#farmer boy goes west#i'm about halfway through and i'm fairly impressed#she seems to be making a legitimate effort to match some of the stylistic quirks of the original#there are pieces that are anachronistic or too modern#or elements that fit better into the laura books than the almanzo one#(mrs. wilder of farmer boy would not give an explanation of the history of jenny lind trunks even though caroline ingalls would)#there is a lot of focus on food (good)#perhaps a bit too much focus on horses (he wouldn't spend *all* his time thinking about starlight)#the throughline of 'what does he want to be' is stupid when we know he wants to be a farmer#the parents feel less old-fashioned than they did in the original#the sibling dynamics are pretty good (especially with alice)#there are some things that are fun in light of the later books but aren't obnoxious wink wink style foreshadowing#the author's note makes it clear that she did try to do her research and stick to real history and to laura's heavily altered timeline#and i can totally forgive her for a really shoehorned in conversation#because when you find out that the future founder of sears was in spring valley at the same time as almanzo#you *have* to stick that in no matter how clunky it is

Silvshè
Dressed in a sleek black bodysuit with slight armor-like sections like those of a scorpion, Silvshè dons black lace-up combat boots and silver gauntlets with twin pincers on the back of each hand. Their scorpion tail is shiny metal, beginning at the small of their back to end mid-shin. A black ninja-esque scarf is wrapped around the lower half of their face, falling to wrap around their shoulders, and a compound bow is strung to their back. Partially hidden by the scarf, a scorpion-shaped black pendant separated into five segments by silver outlines hangs from their neck.
The iris of their eyes glitter like bluish-silver metal, complimented by black sclerae, metallic silvery-tipped bangs accentuating them too well for Biana’s sanity. -Description of Silvshè, by Biana Vacker
Silvshè is the holder of the Scorpio Miraculous, also known as the Scorpion Miraculous, of the Western Zodiac. They make their debut in Miraculous: Tales of Sophie Foster and Fitz Vacker in the battle against Ocean Queen.
Silvshè uses he/they pronouns and is mixed Vietnamese and Chinese. However, as Silvshè unless with other heroes they will try their best to use they pronouns only as a way to protect their identity.
Silvshè first met [REDACTED] while they were both heroes. While they had mutual affection and kissed, they did not start a relationship proper until after discovering the other's identity when introduced by [REDACTED]
Silvshè has the power of Poison Sting. By drawing their compound bow, they will summon an arrow of any disease, any sickness, any poison or venom in the world that they so desire. Deadly, mildly paralyzing, or even an aphrodisiac, the choice is theirs.
“I mean, if I added more words I think locals would die trying to pronounce it. I did try naming myself Shèjiàn before Lady Luck killed the pronunciation so badly I decided to butcher Chinese proper when I renamed myself.” Silvshè’s eyes crinkle, and Biana gets the vague sense of a smile behind the scarf. -Silvshè, when asked about their alias
The "shè" part of Silvshè's name is latinized from the pronunciation of the character 射, which means "shoot", however typically Chinese characters are paired to give them a proper meaning. Hence why Silvshè attempted to name themselves Shèjiàn, as "jiàn" is latinized from the pronunciation of 箭, and proper Chinese would be naming oneself 射箭 as it is meant to be a pair. However, to make their name simpler (and hence butchering Chinese language rules) Silvshè took only "shè" and combined it with the first half of the English word "silver".

You know, when I was first researching neurodivergence (and autism and ADHD in particular) and wondering if I was, in fact, neurodivergent, I brought my conclusions to my mom and she said:
"I mean, you're gifted, right? So you already are neurodivergent???"
So here's to her (kinda) and her words. Giftedness is a neurodivergence, in my opinion. From what I've seen, a lot of the traits overlap with common autistic and/or ADHD traits too, especially regarding overexcitabilities, and a lot of researchers talking about the topic describe giftedness with the same kind of "your brain is just made differently" and "you're just wired differently" language as they use for other neurodivergent conditions. But I also say this because I've seen some gifted people who, while struggling with some "autistic/ADHD traits," don't have all the traits necessary for an autism or ADHD diagnosis. Giftedness is a label for them that encompasses the struggles they have without saying that they don't struggle enough or forcing them to try to fit into a mold that isn't them. And I get that; when I was first questioning, I didn't think I had enough autistic traits to count for a diagnosis either, so I took comfort in a "gifted" label. (Not to say that all gifted people are just autistic people and/or people with ADHD that don't realize, or that all gifted people are just people who don't have enough traits for a diagnosis! That was just the case for me and the folks I've been around, but I've also heard the case of it not being that.)
But if I am gifted, then I also have autism. A lot of my struggles are, honestly, just better described by autism than just by a byproduct of giftedness. My struggles with people and with "being too much," my sensory differences (and yes, sometimes issues), my stimming, and some of my executive dysfunction all sound like autistic traits to me more than a mix of psychomotor and sensual overexcitabilities and a whole bunch of coincidental byproducts of my being gifted and hanging out with nongifted peers. Don't get me wrong; based on my family history, background, and traits, I honestly probably am gifted lol. But it's not just that.
So this is me saying that if the people around you are saying that you're just gifted, you're free to look for other, perhaps better explanations for your feelings and experiences. But if you are just gifted, you're still free to call yourself neurodivergent! My gifted traits lead to me feeling just as ostracized sometimes as my autistic ones, so who am I to police that label?
#I hope this isn't controversial I'd hate for a bunch of folks to come here and start arguing /srs#legitimately hate just the idea of having to deal with that#I just like to talk about myself and part of myself is this#I'd say “one of the rare times this isn't about being nonhuman” but I'm trying to keep this an open blog for my thoughts#since if I make it a “nonhuman blog” then once I stop fixating on this and it becomes another part of my identity#I'll forget about this blog and just vanish#and that's already happened once with a vocaloid blog so I'm trying to prevent it#I just want to stay away from toxicity or discohrse cause that certainly wouldn't help my life or mental health#I made this blog to help me feel better not worse lol#anywayssss#actually gifted#since I heard of someone asking gifted folks to use this tag like they do “actually autistic” and “actually ADHD” ones#I hope you'll take this post#I might post more about giftedness in the future so I'll use that one if I do :D#intellectual giftedness#actually autistic#also ADHD but that'd be a lot to mention here#just know that's why I said *some* of my executive dysfunction#if my experience feels off that might be why#autism#oh and here's the “I probably got something wrong about giftedness go do your own research please (I promise it's fun!)#and if you are gifted I'm sorry if I got stuff majorly wrong“ disclaimer#alright NOW it's time for breakfast XD#gifted kid syndrome#gifted kid burnout
