There is no context. I don't know what to tell you

why are you skeptical of the current explaintion for Brachycephalus's landing issues? 👀

Basically, Brachycephalus are the only miniaturised frogs that seem to have these problems, and there are other frogs with equally small vestibular systems that work fine. I have seen tiny Stumpffia jump over a metre and then jump again moments later, which Brachycephalus are apparently incapable of.

Moreover, the behaviour we see in Brachycephalus is not just disorientation, which I think should be accompanied by wild flailing, but more closely resembles the spontaneous myotonic stiffening that occurs in fainting goats. Compare:

We also know that the entire otic capsule of Brachycephalus is, to use the scientific terminology, fucked, leading to the seemingly impossible but apparently confirmed consequence that they cannot hear their own calls. This is dramatically different from most if not all other miniaturised frogs.

So basically, I think Brachycephalus are a special case, and that the current explanation that supposes that the fluid of the semicircular canals cannot travel fast enough to allow orientation, is at best genus-specific and not miniaturisation-determined, and at worst simply wrong. Hence, I have a grant application seeking to test it in other miniaturised frogs. It has been rejected before, so I am not holding my breath, but it would be nice to be able to look into this.

I desperately want to make a full animation but I'm wary of losing motivation/not having enough time so I wanted to post some frames just in case I don't get farther

Musical Utena Twitch Streams this Summer!!!

Empty Movement yields at last to the frenzied public demand for more streams!!

An event a fan likened to 'the Utena fandom's version of Rocky Horror watches' returns once again this summer! We used to stream the musicals very regularly, but at this point, most people have seen them, and uh, slime tutorials of our streams are already available on YouTube, haha. But there are always a few people new to this religion, and even if not, it's been a while since we've worshipped as a group, no?

For the uninitiated, we play these two ~2 hour musicals back to back, usually with some random stuff a bit before and after. (Another opportunity to stream amazing tight rope Utena cosplay?)

Spread the word, and get hyped! We're looking forward to having fun with y'all!
