#artistic license - biology

Drew the Metaphor crew because the poll results said so but I am a slow artist so sorry for the delay. (also yes I know Gallica's size is not to scale, it was intentional for her to appear "too big")

[eugeniedanglars]

i know people get really mad when you question whether the fireflies’ plan would have actually worked and accuse you of just looking for an excuse to justify joel’s actions, but i actually think the possibility of the plan not working makes the situation more morally complex, not less. “would you sacrifice the person you love to save humanity?” is not the same question as “would you sacrifice the person you love to possibly save humanity?” and imo the second one is harder to answer. the first question has some sort of positive effect for you no matter what you choose: either you get to keep the person you love, or you save the world. the second question has the possibility of an outcome where you lose everything and have nothing to show for it. and despite neil druckmann saying the cure would work (which i’m choosing to ignore because the author is dead and also you can’t just handwave away these questions by saying “yeah it would totally work, don’t worry about the logistics of how they’d actually mass-produce and distribute a cure in a post-apocalyptic wasteland”), i think the show wants us to question it given that the first two episodes both featured experts stating that a fungal pandemic can’t be cured or vaccinated against. this doesn’t mean the firefly doctor was wrong about potentially being able to make a cure, but it does mean that there wouldn’t be an in-universe scientific consensus that a cure could definitely be made from ellie, so there’s no reason for us to have an out-of-universe consensus either.

(also, at the end of the day, does it even matter whether joel made the right choice when he never would have chosen differently? it’s really only a “choice” in an abstract sense—practically speaking, there’s no scenario in which joel lets ellie die and a cure is made.)

Worried, Sick

A/N: I could be writing Sole Memorial (formulating the chapter while I’m at work does not make good production) or any other backlog fic I got, but instead I wanted to write out this ABL headcanon. So... enjoy!

Atta had thought her pacing days were over, at least those ones where she would act like the sky was falling. But things just couldn’t be so easy for her, could they?

No, they couldn’t, and that was why she was pacing to and fro in front of her bedroom, waiting anxiously for word from inside. “I should be in there,” Atta muttered, pausing to touch the leaves, and then go right back to pacing. “But can I really… No, no, I should. What kind of message am I sending by being out here?”

“Trust, for one thing,” Mother piped up, petting Aphie as she could any ordinary day. “Besides, Dr. Flora will need all the concentration she can get.”

Atta stopped and tried to force her wings still, but they still quivered. “But what if something happens and I’m not there?” she asked. “I should be there for my—”

“Trust me, you’ll be the first to know if anything changes.” Mother grasped her hands—Atta hadn’t even noticed her put Aphie down—and squeezed. “Now follow my lead. Breathe in… and out…” She herself took deep breaths to demonstrate, and the familiar guidance began to calm Atta’s nerves. “There we go, that’s my girl. Everything will be fine, I know, and do you know why?”

“Because Dr. Flora’s on the case?” Atta answered almost absently.

“Yes, and what else?”

After a little more consideration, Atta gave her a sheepish smile. “I guess Flik has gotten out of worse scrapes than this.”

“Well, that, but what I’m trying to say is this happens all the time”—Mother affixed her with a firm look—“and you still see plenty of fathers in the colony, don’t you?”

“Right, right.” Another smile, this time nostalgic. “It’s our lot in life.”

“Well, maybe not our lot, but it’s our life,” Mother chuckled.

No one knew why nor how, but there was a strange phenomenon among most bug species that males would fall ill after trying for a child. It varied from bug to bug, some mild and some severe; but it happened without fail. Every couple knew to expect the telltale symptoms of exhaustion that fell in the morning. Even Flik, it seemed, had no choice but to follow that rule.

Exhaustion just might have been an understatement, however. “He just looked so…”

As Atta recalled what happened earlier that morning, what peace she gained began to melt away. She'd woken up to find Flik awfully pale and unmoving, much like he’d been after the night of the colony’s revolution. It was because she’d seen him like this before that she thought she was just having a nightmare, only becoming horrified once she realized she wasn’t dreaming. How else was she supposed to feel, seeing such a jarring change when her consort had been so lively merely hours before?

After that, no amount of fact could phase her. It didn’t matter that this was something almost every ant parent went through at some point. It didn’t matter that there existed fathers in the colony, healthy as could be. It didn’t even matter that Flik had startled awake (though it was hard to tell) at her panicking. All she cared about was getting someone to help, please help, don’t let her lose him!

“I should have known this would happen. Something always happens, it’s Flik,” she muttered, and then she sighed wistfully. “But he’s so good with Dot and the other children, and I wanted—and he also—he said he’d be okay and like an idiot I believed him.”

“Oh, sweetie,” Mother began softly, understanding, “your father was much the same way when we agreed to have you, and didn’t he turn out fine?”

Atta bit back a retort.

But it seemed her message still rang clear. “I know you’re worried, and don’t you think I don’t understand.” Mother squeezed her hands again, this time a little tighter. “Just follow the doctor’s orders, and that boy will be up and running in no time. In the meantime”—she sent a knowing glance down—“you can go tell the colony the good news.”

“The colony! That’s right, I have to make an announcement!” Then Atta pulled away and groaned when she realized just what she had to explain. “Though I wouldn’t be surprised if they already know. I must have woken everyone up.”

“Maybe our younger members, sure,” chirped Dr. Flora, peeking through the leaf curtains. “But I recall when a certain queen before you screamed so loud we formed an army!”

“Flora,” Mother chided and sent her a halfhearted warning look, “I trust you have some words to ease your queen.”

“Oh, yes.” Dr. Flora stepped aside and allowed her nurses to leave. “You can come inside, now. We’ll be back later to check on him, but he’s stable.” She giggled knowingly. “I should go make sure Thorny hasn’t keeled over by now.” Another giggle, and then she was on her way. “Congratulations, Your Majesty!” Almost immediately after, nearby passing ants followed with their own greetings and congratulations—some had noticeably stiff edges to them.

Atta groaned again and would have hid her quickly heating face if not for her growing desire to return to Flik’s side. Straightening up, she marched through the leaves, ready to face whatever sight lay within.

And once she did, her anxiousness fell away.

Flik was nearly fully hidden under the petals save for his hands, which had bunched some of the petals against his face in a clear display of embarrassment. Sickly pale as he was, he was still very much alive. Even his groans were more akin to awkwardness than pain.

Atta sat at the edge of the flower, soon torn between taking a hand or crossing her arms. The first option won out. “You scared me to death, you know,” she scolded him.

Flik startled and lowered the petal hiding him. “A-Atta, hey!” He flashed her a smile; tired in his current state, but still oddly charming. “W-what brings you here?”

“To our room?” Atta said, raising a brow.

“Oh, of course! Ours. We’re…” He brought the petal back up a little, but he looked more thoughtful now. “So, we’re actually having a…”

“We are.” Atta gave Flik’s hand a small squeeze. “Hard to believe.”

“Yeah…” Oh, he’s got stars in his eyes now. “A little tyke of our own. Who’da thought?”

“You hadn’t?”

“It was more of a fantasy to me.”

It was certainly more than Atta ever thought, but she kept that to herself. “Tell me about this fantasy,” she said instead. “Maybe… any names?”

“I have, actually, though it’s been a while since I thought of them,” Flik confessed. “Let’s see… I guess, for our first girl, I’d always liked—”

Before he could finish, the leaves forcefully parted. The pair turned their eyes to see a buzzing and lilac blur making a beeline to the bed.

Thankfully, for all her obvious worry, Dot refrained from barreling into her brother-in-law. “Flik! You okay?!” she cried. “I heard you got really sick, but I was stuck in Blueberry Scouts and had to stay until we were done!”

“Aw, I’m fine, kiddo,” Flik chuckled and patted her head. “Just need a little rest, that’s all.”

“What happened? You were fine yesterday.”

“Uh—well…” Flik tried to laugh the awkwardness away. “Atta and I were working on a special project, and I may have overexerted myself?” He sent her an apologetic glance.

Dot glanced at her sister, frowned suspiciously, and set her attention back to Flik. “But how come Atta’s okay?”

The apologetic glance returned with a plea for help.

And thus began a long and hopefully friendly explanation for the coming of a new member of the family.

+++

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! And yes, my headcanon that I wanted to write out is that bug fathers get sick instead of outright dying. ( -v-)

This can go either two ways: a general sick story with no stakes, or something that leads Atta (and maybe also Dot) on a small quest to get some medicine that happened to run out.

P.S. If there’s interest, I may write more snips involving the likely OC that would come out of this. Got a name picked out and everything!

[quakerjoe]

I managed to click on a real piece of shit. Naturally I replied:

"You skipped biology and science classes, didn't you? Or did they just not have them when you went? Science has made many discoveries since your old 1950's era textbooks. Of them, that the subject of gender is a broad spectrum and actually NOT as simple as you seem to believe it is. I'd cite you some sources, but honestly, mate; I don't believe for an instant you'd bother reading about it. You seem like just another JK Rowling sort of mouthpiece who has zero interest in looking beyond what you're comfortable with.

Let me clue you in on one tiny point in regards to this topic- The GOP's policies are, across the board, predatory and hurtful to whomever they target. Do you know who the target of this stupid bill was? FIVE trans kids participating in K-12 sports across the entire US of F'n A and its territories, dude. Even if you have ZERO compassion for less than one percent of the nation's population (All the trans citizens in the US), doesn't it bother you that with ALL of the other fuckery going on, with all of the other ACTUAL emergencies and priorities that need addressing, that the government (specifically the pedophile-enriched, sexual predator ridden, scam-artist faction that the GOP has become) went after FIVE children?

Your attitude, kid, is why we can't have nice things. We could be working on universal health care. We could be working on paid family leave. We could be doing something about our failing infrastructure or (not that people like you believe in it) the climate change crisis. We could be working on wealth inequality since the min. wage hasn't gone up since W's administration.

But you want to giggle at AOC for pointing out how the GOP wants to become a bunch of pedo-crotch checkers because this hasn't affected you in some way yet so you feel free to laugh about it? That's your attitude toward this? It is with so many of your ilk until it's YOUR child. Grow the feck up, kid. Try actually using the internet to research transgenderism, what it really entails, and whether it really deserves the scorn you're radiating when there are so many more important things to tend to right now. Don't just be one of those couch commando types until you've done your research; it really does make you look a bit like an asshole, and even cis-gender, hetero men like myself can see through your cloud of cluelessness having a good chuckle over targeting and victimizing people you know nothing about.

It IS an odd subject to the inexperienced, unread mind. Have you ever even had a conversation with a trans person? A gay person? I doubt you'd give any of them a second glance or the time of day. You seem more apt to let loos your dog(s) on them and assault them. Would you go so far as to beat the shit out of gay/trans people, just because you "don't get it"?

Too many people are put off by trans people because all they understand about them is their own belief that trans people insist that they're something than they really are. You know- like fucking CHRISTIANS in 'Murica do EVERY DAY. They think because they wear a gold cross around their neck or go to church for their weekly Sunday Circle-jerk to talk about a book that NONE of them have read and worship a guy that NONE of them respect or would listen to today because he's brown skinned and totally a commie-socialist hippie. Still, we have to listen to THEIR crap because of some notion behind freedom of religion means being given license to be a total hypocrite.

Does any of that sound like you, kid, or are you better than all of that right-wing, hate on minorities, led by sex offenders, kind of crap? If I'm off in how I've receiving you, the I do apologize but I couldn't even get to the two minute mark before you gave me the distinct impression that you not only have no idea what you're talking about but that you have ZERO respect for women, trans people and it's only a small just to assume you hate gays too. Maybe you hate black people as well. Perhaps you want to also kill all the Muslims? I mean, why stop with only one topic you clearly know nothing about nor do you wish to, given the amount of clear contempt and disrespect you've shown in under two minutes.

Seriously. Good luck being a human."

[clonerightsagenda]

Finished Blue Eye Samurai! Overall, quite good. Some thoughts:

Bold move to tell a revenge narrative and then refuse the protagonist and audience the catharsis of revenge, with Mizu's attempts to defeat Fowler causing one of Japan's greatest disasters and her not even killing him. AND her continuing to not learn her lesson, abandoning her allies and fucking off to London relying on a treacherous snake of a man who knows her secret. Can't imagine this will go well. (Also that's got to be a long voyage. The 2026 season 2 release date is realtime.)

Maybe she will burn down London also. (My father while referencing the irl fire Mizu is involved in said "I wonder if it's going to be like Forest Gump" which was WILD tone-wise even though I know what he means re: getting involved in historical events.

Akemi annoyed me early in the season, but we got a good payoff with her father ending up under her thumb. Love to see it. Also we may have dodged the gathering love triangle storm clouds with Mizu leaving the country and Taigen getting dumped. I hope she regains her retinue of former sex workers. (Also imo the madame totally knows Mizu's secret. Hey, her job is being discrete. That's none of her business.)

Appreciate that while Ringo was the comic relief he was also given a genuine character and not just made the butt of jokes for his disability. Hope he still gets to do stuff in season 2 even with the gang all split up.

I get what they were going for re: the guns being this new technology meant to be horrifying and disturbing, but if Fowler just smuggled them in a few days earlier, I struggle to believe his men are such good shots. Nice work on his fighting style being noticeably brutal and inelegant compared to the others though.

I don't know enough about the culture and time period, but the mention of young Mizu having a maid makes me think she might have come from a high born family? Scandalous. Also if her 'mother' wasn't her mother… Mizu survived because everyone was looking for a female mixed race child and she pretended to be a boy. Could that same mixup run in reverse? Is it possible her mother is her white parent? Also, how seriously should I take her blue eyes, or is it artistic license? Based on admittedly 6th grade biology lessons, she would need to get those genes from both parents...

Anyway good show, see you all in 2 years

[least-evil-resident]

Sometimes I think about how Resident Evil is a bio/cyberpunk nonsense franchise. And about how the lore is constantly being reduct-taped together with painted over signs saying 'it's definitely a virus, trust us.' The plant that gives humans a virus but also superpowers is ancient and needs to be grown in a special cave. The super power virus it gives you is not just zoonotic in that it infects all kinds of animals (not just mammals!) But omnotic in that it infects *everything*.

As a natural consequence of trying to make things make sense by referencing and revealing and adding onto the pile of artistic-license biology/virology, the Biohazards make no sense. That's sort of fun, in its own way - Resident Evil has never taken itself Too Seriously. And that's a good thing. But wow.

For something that claims it's 'bio-*real*', it's definitely *not*. It's bio-punk, at best, sense you have clones in 1980 and can somehow splice reptile and mammal DNA. I just wish they patched their plot holes with something that made a little more sense. You can't duct tape together the thirteen different tcgrp viruses and add in the mafia illuminati to your cults and your scientists. They're allowed to be different, unrelated things lol.

[ilikemicrowaves]

ALSO infodump on ur clown ocs right NEOW!!!!

You have no Idea what you've done, what you've leashed upon the Earth ...

ANYWAYS- Prepare yourself beloved mutual.

This fella, this stupid fucking idiot, my son, Giggles, was originally my clownsona, but he kind of became his own person after a while. Now he's kind of like. A mascot for my blog now lol.

Giggles is an Alien Space Clown from planet CT-11 (clown town and my fav number) a small rundown of CT-11 for ya: Earth but Clowns. The planet itself is completely different. The grass is pink for starters. However, the species that are like the human race of CT-11 are literally just like us. I have the idea of like.. adding real world events to it to be funny but not in a serious way. (9/11. Clown edition)

There are 3 species of circus Folk: Clowns, Jesters, and Mimes. Including the hybrids: Fools, (Jester/clown) Peepers, (Clown/Mime) and Trixies. (Mime/jester)

Oh yeah there is circus folk racism btw and I even gave each species a slur :D

The main cast of CT-11 story thing (I have yet to make a name for the comics, however the game that I am developing, still in the VERY EARLY stages, is titled: Giggles Delightful Digital Dilemma!)

Giggles the Clown, Filly the Fool, and Jinx the Jester. Giggles lives in the Clown Bell Hotel with his goober. ( a creature I made often used as a pet in this world) Every day, he gets up, feeds it, and goes out to co-run the "Craft-Shack" with Jinx. (It is illegal, and they do not have a license to run it :D) Most of the time, they make no sells, but it gets them through the day and enough money. Giggles does have a PhD. in computer science and has made many attempts at getting a job for programming and other computer stuff. (im still researching computer science, so right now, Giggles is as smart as me.) So far, he has only made it to interviews and got let down. "Give my son a chance!" <- I say as I make his life have more mishaps. His only accessories are his shoes and his top hat. Most circus folk have their beans out and think he's weird for it. Oh yeah, everyone is naked, btw, not in a weird way, though. It's just their skin patterns. (More about species biology n stuff at the bottom, btw) He is the most restless sleeper imaginable. Constant tossing to the point that he broke his lamp in his sleep once. Not because nightmares/nighterrors, (not until he experiences the horror of humanity and ... clownity????) He had an unfathomable amount of useless shit in his home, hoarder of trinkets and things. Massive painter, goes for abstract stuff most of the time. Usually, he has no idea what he's painting until he has a bunch of things on his canvas, and then he makes a story behind. Nobody likes his paintings, though. He has ALL the haters. In his free times he goes around his neighborhood to draw scenery. (I have cursed myself as an artist who hates backgrounds to make a character who draws primarily backgrounds.) Though most of the people tell him to stop sitting inront of their homes or to get out the street, he is not well liked. Probably because of his ... history of fucking everything up. That's why he avoids others as much as possible other than his only friends, Filly and Jinx. Can't fuck anything up if you don't bother anyone, right? <- foreshadowing/silly. Anyways, he does end up on Earth eventually and he discovers his favorite food there: Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. It's like a drug for him. Kind of like when Wanda eats chocolate lol.

Enough talks about Giggles, let's get onto his first ever and longest lasting bestie; Filly the Fool. Filly is kind of a dumbass, but in an oblivious way. They are very unaware of their stupidity. Giggles and Filly met each other when Giggles had caused another .. accident. Filly helped him out of his mess, and they've stood by each others side since. (until the unfathomable horrors) Filly lives in the same neighborhood as Giggles, a few blocks from him. They don't have any pets and live in a fairly small and barley affordable home. They do have their garage cleaned out to store their instruments and for when they practice dancing. Their primary intrument is alto Saxophone, though they do have a lot of experience in French horn and tenor saxophone. Filly has no accessories other than their bowtie. Their dawgs are out, but they look like shoes since they've got jester in them. Filly had a shrill and quiet voice and doesn't speak much. Sometimes their completely non-verbal. Unfortunately, Filly has not been accepted into any music schools to get a degree in music. (Me too, sigh ...) Filly sometimes help with Jinx and Giggles' illegal business, but tries to stay out of it as much as possible to not, yk, get in legal trouble. They do have a job as a gardener for some rich snob in their neighborhood. That's how they were able to afford so many instruments. The job pays, sadly. Working for a rich you'd except to make a living, but unfortunately, Filly is underpaid.

Now for Jinx. I actually don't have much on xem as xey are a pretty new character, created around the end of December. Though there are a few things about xem that I could say, I guess. Dumbass in decisions, and well fucking aware of it and does not plan on changing anytime soon. If xey were served on a silver platter xey'd taste like sulfuric acid, that how stinky xey are. (Affectionately drowns xem in water. Xey encourage Giggles to do a lot of illegal stuff not just to benefit but because xey like the rush. (They have committed atrocities but their poor and starving so it's excusable /j) Jinx is not only aware of xey're awful decisions, but also how bad of an influence they are for people, so xey do have slight guilt for dragging Giggles into xey're own messes, but then xey pride xemselves in helping Giggles with money and easy routes to get necessities, so then the guilt goes away for xem.

Alright! Time for the biology stuff!! These are really outdated artworks from August's, but I do not feel like making new ones lol.

Stuff not mentioned here is that they have no reproductive system whatsoever. On CT-11, if enough energy is caused, matter comes together, and POOF!! Circus Folk has joined the party! There are no growth stages for Circus folk. They just spawn in as they are and stay like that unless like they have surgery or undergo a massive injury. ( For example, Giggles in the spaceship crash now have a jagged scare under his frill.) I wanted to find the best solution to avoid any pedophilia accuring if Giggles ever gets popular and people make ocs, (friends have already made ocs which I am very happy about) So, Circus folk have no age at all. If there is ever a character that is child coded and someone ships them with a character that is considered an adult mentally, I will not be supporting that whatsoever. That shits nasty. Also, Circus folk can survive having their organs being pulled out n stuff, as long as it's still attached to them it should be fine.

Also... Giggles Playlist btw, if you care..

Thank you sos so much for sending the ask btw, I love talking about these goobers :3

[mooncalfe-art]

Weird question, please bear with me.

So I was in the turtle group chat talking about different methods of turtle shell repair, as one does, and then I remembered Donnie's Terrible, Rotten, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and his metal shell.

Seeing as a turtle's shell IS their spine and a significant portion of their ribcage, does Donnie now also have a prosthetic metal spine and ribs? and all the Important Stuff that's in the spinal column - the nerves and the fluids and the like... I'm not really asking for you to explain the Deep Biology of mutant turtle skeletal structures, but I AM asking what is up with their spines - are the fused, separate, some secret third thing? inquiring minds want to know.

I think about this same thing every so often, haha. Most artists (even Peter and Kevin back in the day) draw the Turtles with a flexible plastron unlike real turtles, which you can either chalk up to artistic license and cartooning, or you can take it more literally to mean that the Turtles have a more human-type skeleton and their plastron and shell are more spongy sort of armor plating rather than bone like real-life turtles. If I was the only one working on TMNT I'd probably delve more into the biology of it and have it at the outset that the carapace is part of their skeleton and is rigid like real turtles, but it's impossible to set that kind of thing up in a series with a ton of people working on it and expect it to remain the same across the board, so I usually just don't worry about it. I'm also kind of boxed in a bit by Donatello losing his shell and, thanks to the ooze, somehow receiving a new one that Fugitoid I guess just sticks onto Don's back and he's good to go. There's a panel in that particular issue (I forget which one it was) where Don is about to be operated on and he's lying on his back on the medical bed, but I always wondered what's under his shell, then? If he has no shell I'm guessing it was a huge exposed wound, and if so why is he lying ON the giant gaping wound?! Haha. And then it's like if the Turtles' carapace is flexible in IDW TMNT, that must mean it's NOT part of their skeletal system and in that case why would Don even need a new shell? Clearly thinking too deeply about it, haha.

In any case, since I took over as writer, I've tried to go by those rules that Tom set up as much as I can, like when I had Don's old broken shell (which Tom never accounted for, where did it go after Fugitoid removed it??? So I decided to draw the old shell having been tossed into a dumpster, lol) be attached to Venus, like if the surgeon has a healing agent like ooze or the Dragon scales the way Fugitoid and Dr. Barlow did, it seems like they can just graft components (whether organic or inorganic) onto anyone however they like regardless of what the internal mutant biology is. In Venus's flashback in my Alliance #4 issue, I did draw her spinal column visible when the shell is being grafted on though, sort of as a nod to the skeletal system thing but not explicitly solidifying the biology of it.

Another way I think about it is that mutants haven't undergone any sort of evolution as a species, their biology doesn't have to "make sense" or be useful in a natural selection evolutionary way. The mutagen kinda removes all the specialized traits from an animal, so the Turtles' carapaces have lost whatever traits gave rise to regular turtles' shells over millions of years. Mutants are outside the evolutionary process, so the Turtles' shells don't have to be biologically useful or advantageous or even really have anything in common with normal turtles. The mutagen reconfigures an animal into humanoid form and it'll recode their DNA to any extent to acheive that end result, so maybe it built the Turtles' a new skeletal system and their shells are purely vestigial.

I feel like I'm getting way too deep here and it only makes it more confusing, lol. So to answer your question, if I had to pick one of the options you listed, I would pick "secret third thing." ;)

[candlecove-weaintdeadyet]

What's the lore behind that "What have you done?" post? 👀 Who did Heartfelt stab?

You know how my Big Post O' Headcanons mentioned that he's ex-Navy? A deserter, at that?

Yeah, he...killed his commanding officer. There was no malicious intent behind it, but the gist is that something happened (I've yet to decide what) that ended in his commanding officer being badly hurt. I'm probably going to have the Bad Thing be of a magical nature to justify my Artistic License: Biology moment here, or maybe it was just something so severe that early 18th century-equivalent medicine couldn't really fix. Heartfelt was, at the time, basically a field medic (ironically enough) and decided that it was his job to fix it.

In short, nothing he did was helping, and all he managed to do was delay the inevitable and prolong the poor bastard's suffering. At some point, caretaker's burnout kicked in (or I guess kicked him in the ass) and he decided the best course of action was to kill the man instead of just watching him deteriorate.

I maaaaaaay or may not have loosely based his backstory on Mouthwashing.

Weekly Tag Wednesday !! Woohoo!

thank you for tagging me @jrooc, @mybrainismelted, @iansw0rld, and @lingy910y

Name: Gigi

Age: 24

Location: brooklyn baby!

And now, think about your childhood and tell me:

I'm thinking about 10 and under vibes, right?

Did you have a nickname and is it still used? Gigi! all you nice people and some of my friends call me that when they're being cute

What did you want to be when you'd grow up? I wanted to be an artist when i was really young, then i wanted to be a writer a lot of elementary/middle school, then i kept my options open through highshcool and last minute decided to go to architecture school and it was a very very good gut decision and in a way im an artist, fanfic writer, and soon to be licensed architect, best of all worlds!

Your favourite cartoon: when i was a kid me and my brother would wake up early to watch pokemon, I also liked the pbs show Sagwa, curious George (hey frank!) and clifford

Your favourite TV show: zoboomafoo !!!! fucking loved that guy!

Your favourite book: I had this book when i was a kid called Millions of Cats which was kind of a fucked up story and I would be very interested to see someone analyze what that book says about love. I also really liked Too Big bc look how cute the coloring is !

I also adored Ferdinand, I always thought that if i were to get a tattoo i would want to get Ferdinand sitting in his flowers

Your favourite toy: I just loved stuffed animals, I had so many

Your favourite thing to eat: Just like, soups in general. but my favorite was saimin which weirdly I cant STAND now. its like ramen but instead of ramen noodles its thick, gnarly egg noodles and take half the flavor out and just add salt, genuinely think it would give me heart attack now

Your favourite school subject: I really liked all subjects except I hated biology and I hated spanish, not bc the language is bad but bc my teacher was a white lady from colorado who im not really sure actually spoke spanish. I really loved physics and english and history and art

How did you spend your summers? I lived in a very safe place so free roam go to the or the beach near us, if you didnt like the kids in your neighborhood you were fucked cause those were our built in play mates and on the hottest days i would find the coldest part of my house and just lay on the tile reading all day

Did you listen to music? If yes, did you have a favourite band/artist?

my mom had the elite early 2000s music taste; amy winehouse, tracy chapman, dolly parton, green day, the chicks, tina turner, smashing pumpkins, spice girls, alanis morissette, jack johnson, Lauren hill, so good, I still listen to them all today

And lastly, tell me something you did as a kid that your parents still don't know about:

It’s not every day that two high school classmates go on to achieve remarkable success in their respective fields and then collaborate decades later. Vanessa Carlton, the renowned singer-songwriter, and Julia Stiles, the celebrated actress and now director, share such a story. Recently, the two reunited professionally, with Carlton scoring the music for Stiles’ directorial debut, Wish You Were Here. This collaboration is a testament to their enduring bond, which began over 30 years ago in a ninth-grade biology classroom. Speaking at the film’s screening in New York City on January 15, Carlton shared fond memories of their friendship and reflected on the paths their lives have taken since their teenage years. credits: wikicommons David Shankbone, CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, via Wikimedia Commons A Friendship That Began in Ninth Grade Vanessa Carlton and Julia Stiles first met as high school freshmen, sharing the same biology class. The connection between the two blossomed into a friendship that has spanned decades. Now in their forties, both women have achieved remarkable success in the entertainment industry. Carlton, known for her iconic song “A Thousand Miles,” is a three-time Grammy nominee. Stiles, who gained fame through films like 10 Things I Hate About You and Save the Last Dance, has established herself as a talented actress and, more recently, as a director. “I’ve known Julia since ninth grade biology class,” Carlton shared with a smile. “We’re just living our lives, looking for the next exciting thing to do.” Collaboration on Wish You Were Here Their latest collaboration came about when Stiles approached Carlton to score her debut film, Wish You Were Here. The movie, a romantic drama based on Renée Carlino’s best-selling 2017 novel, marks a significant milestone in Stiles’ career as she transitions into directing. Despite their long history, Carlton revealed that she and her husband, musician John McCauley, had to audition for the opportunity. They read the script during the summer, crafted musical themes, and presented their ideas to the team. “We threw our hat in the ring with our themes, and then we got the job,” Carlton said. She described the experience of scoring a film for the first time as “fabulous” and praised Stiles for her clear and thoughtful guidance throughout the process. “Julia is such an amazing director,” Carlton added. “It was a real pleasure to set the mood musically for the film. She gave us wonderful guidance, which made the process so enjoyable.” A Shared Journey Through Hollywood Reflecting on their parallel journeys in the entertainment industry, Carlton spoke about the challenges and rewards of navigating careers in such a competitive field. “It takes a lot of hard work and navigating tricky situations,” she said. “But friendships really matter. I think it’s a dream to see where we’ve both ended up.” Carlton expressed admiration for Stiles’ accomplishments and the dedication she has shown in her career. “I can’t speak for her, but I think she should be really proud of the work she’s done and where she’s headed,” Carlton said. The two women have been photographed together at various red-carpet events over the years, their enduring friendship evident in the way they support one another. Credits: wikicommons ApprovedShot_5_048_Final.jpg: Unsurederivative work: Scarce, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons A New Chapter for Both Artists For Carlton, scoring Wish You Were Here represents a new creative challenge. Known primarily for her work as a singer-songwriter, she embraced the opportunity to explore a different aspect of music. Collaborating with her husband and Dennis Ryan Engineering, Carlton brought her signature style to the film’s score, helping to set the tone for Stiles’ romantic drama. For Stiles, the film marks her transition from actress to director. While she is best known for her roles in beloved films from the late 1990s and early 2000s, Wish You Were Here showcases her talents behind the camera. The project has allowed her to explore storytelling in a new way, and Carlton’s music plays an integral role in bringing her vision to life. The Importance of Longstanding Bonds The collaboration between Carlton and Stiles highlights the importance of enduring friendships, particularly in an industry that can often feel isolating. Their shared history adds a unique layer of depth to their professional partnership, and their mutual respect is evident in their words about each other. Carlton emphasized the significance of maintaining strong connections over time. “Friendships really matter,” she said. “They help you stay grounded and give you strength when you need it.” Stiles, though not present at the interview, has previously spoken about the value of mentorship and collaboration in her career. The support and encouragement she and Carlton have given each other over the years exemplify the power of strong relationships in helping individuals achieve their goals. A Celebration of Creativity and Growth The journey from ninth-grade biology class to Hollywood collaborations is a testament to the creative growth and resilience of both Vanessa Carlton and Julia Stiles. Their story is a reminder that even the most unexpected connections can lead to extraordinary opportunities. As they continue to pursue their respective careers, Carlton and Stiles serve as examples of how talent, determination, and mutual support can lead to incredible achievements. Whether in front of the camera, behind the scenes, or in the recording studio, their work inspires audiences and highlights the enduring power of collaboration and friendship. Read the full article

Unlocking Career Potential with Beauty Training Programs: An Insight into Skills and Opportunities

The beauty industry is continuously evolving, offering numerous career paths for passionate individuals. A vital gateway into this thriving field is through Beauty Training Programs, which equip aspiring professionals with the skills, knowledge, and certifications needed to succeed. Whether it’s makeup artistry, hairstyling, skincare, or specialized treatments, beauty training programs are a stepping stone for those who want to excel in the industry.

These programs offer a structured curriculum designed to impart both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Most beauty training programs cover a wide range of topics, such as skin biology, product chemistry, and sanitation practices. Additionally, these programs teach client interaction and business skills, which are crucial for individuals planning to start their own salon or freelance business. Students are introduced to various types of skin and hair, learning the science behind different products and treatments. The combination of practical application and business acumen ensures graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the beauty industry.

Among the diverse areas of specialization available, skincare stands out as a popular choice. Skin Brightening Treatments are particularly in demand, as more clients seek non-invasive ways to achieve a radiant complexion. Beauty training programs emphasize the science of skincare, including skin brightening techniques that involve products such as serums, exfoliants, and specialized facials. Training in skin brightening treatments not only involves learning about products but also understanding skin types and the appropriate care each requires. With these treatments, students become adept at assessing client needs, customizing treatments, and recommending effective home-care routines.

A significant benefit of enrolling in beauty training programs is the opportunity to earn recognized certifications, which adds credibility to a professional's profile. Certifications validate a graduate’s skills and can be pivotal when seeking employment or attracting clients. Many beauty programs align their curriculum with state licensing requirements, enabling graduates to gain the licenses needed to operate as professionals. For those pursuing careers as estheticians, cosmetologists, or makeup artists, this licensed status often opens doors to reputable salons, spas, and even television or film work.

Beauty training programs also foster a sense of community. Students often work in teams, learning the importance of collaboration in a fast-paced environment. The relationships built during training can be invaluable, creating a network of industry contacts that may lead to future career opportunities. Program instructors, typically seasoned professionals, offer guidance on practical techniques and provide valuable insights into the realities of working in the beauty industry. Many instructors also connect students with internship opportunities, offering them a chance to gain real-world experience and develop a strong portfolio.

One of the notable areas these programs cover is the rising demand for natural and sustainable beauty practices. As more clients seek eco-friendly products and methods, beauty professionals are adapting their techniques and product recommendations. In line with this trend, Beauty Training Programs now often incorporate sustainable beauty practices and educate students on organic and cruelty-free options. Understanding these trends is essential, as it allows beauty professionals to cater to a broader audience and establish a reputation for being mindful of both clients’ health and environmental impact.

To conclude, Beauty Training Programs provide the training and resources needed to enter the beauty industry with confidence. With practical skills, knowledge of the latest industry trends, and certifications in specialized areas like Skin Brightening Treatments, graduates are well-equipped to succeed in various career paths within the beauty field. For those passionate about beauty, these programs not only offer the skills to excel but also open the door to a rewarding and creative career in a continually growing industry.
