#but also photosynthesis

[greenxlady]

The video of Team Sky in Paldea gave me a sudden rush of inspiration, especially the mention of a "mildly annoying resistance", so I started sketching this the moment I came off watching the video for the third time in a row. And finally, I managed to finish it (feat. the original Nightsky)!

The Rise of the Resistance!

I do have some more ideas involving the adventures of Michael and Grunty Boi, founders and leaders of the Resistance, following the rise of the tyrannical Leader of Team Nightsky, and I hope that I'll manage to have the energy to find and create a good way to tell those tales.

before sleeping. [isagi yoichi x reader]

notes: the thought process here is hehe isagi and then isagi sure gets feral sometimes and then hey feral is biting right and then i postponed my sleeping schedule for this. this guy is midnight madness inducer. if the first paragraph isnt clear enough. no warning except yeah this is a total fluff despite the prompt. established relationship, post canon / pro-player! isagi.

Isagi Yoichi is a genuinely nice person. A really good boyfriend with a normal and nice family, an excellent career in soccer—an overall green flag that also comes with good communication skill. His downside would probably be his soccer obsession, but if one looks from the right angle it would become a charm point along with his occasional clumsiness on other field other than his beloved sport.

Case in point, Isagi Yoichi is a normal guy, most of the time.

“Can I bite you?”

With that being said, it wouldn’t be your fault to be surprised when he suddenly asked this when the two of you were already in sleeping attires.

It was almost midnight and you were dressed in Yoichi’s old t-shirt, baggy and too large for the both of you to wear. Beside you, Yoichi already lied on his side to face you and ready to be asleep, considering the 12 hours jet lag he was supposed to be having. Yet, with his big blue eyes, he stared directly towards yours—whose are sleepy, heavy, and definitely tired.

You, who froze midway in your way to cover yourself with a blanket, blinked for a few times with your mouth slightly agape. Your eyebrows furrowed, trying to process what Yoichi just said. After a few moments of silence, you finally found your voice again, “…I thought… we are about to sleep…?”

“Yeah,” Yoichi answered simply. “But, like, can I bite you? Just once?”

You could only blink once again. Was this some leftover adrenaline high from his winning goal? You knew how Yoichi becomes a bit of someone else whenever he became excited or on a high tension—but it never really came out of blue. Especially at home like this.

Confused, you could only said, “Huh. Wow.”

In respond, Yoichi parroted both your confusion and noise, “Huh? Wow?”

“I mean,” you began to try to explain, slowly feeling your sleepiness wanning off. “That sure came out of nowhere.”

A dumb and blank expression appeared on Yoichi’s face upon hearing your words. Then, it took a mere second before it shifted into one that is full of panic and bashfulness. Yoichi immediately pushed his body to sit along with you as both his hands shook in front of him, “Oh—uh! I mean—It’s just that I look at you in that shirt and just—!”

“It’s not bad, or anything. It was just sudden,” you said, eyes fixed on his sheepish gestures. “It’s not everyday you just blurt things like that at home.”

Yoichi laughed nervously and suddenly seemed to find an interest in the crease of your shared blanket. You let him took his time to continue meanwhile you lied down to your sleeping position. As you finally covered yourself in blanket, Yoichi followed you, embarrassment still dyeing his face, “It’s, uh, I think I missed you a bit too much this time?” Yoichi said, unsure.

You chuckled as you already warped your whole body in blanket, “Playing the sweet words now, huh?”

“It’s not like that!” Yoichi insisted whilst shifting his position for a few times, trying to find comfort. “Like, I also don’t really understand why, but it’s like I really want to bite you. But like positively, in a very ‘I love you’ kind of way?”

At his wording, you found yourself smiling with a soft, unvoiced chortles bubbling inside your stomach. Even in a confusing sentence, the way he just said ‘I love you’ so easily yet earnestly really did things to your heart. You knew that this one was fueled by Yoichi’s own nervousness and confusion—yet still, it felt as genuine as he always is.

“Well,” you paused, pretending to be in a thought, before continuing. “Where do you even want to bite?”

This time, it was Yoichi’s turn to freeze. “Uh. I didn’t think that far.”

As you failed to swallow your laughs, you patted his head, “Now, now, isn’t my Mr. Striker’s head tired? Let’s do the biting and everything else tomorrow, ‘kay?”

Yoichi’s expression soften at your words and pats. Your fingers slowly moved, gently tracing the outlines of his face, and Yoichi’s bashfulness return with a look he kept only for you, “…fine.”

You nodded, smiles still in your face as you closed your eyes and drifted to sleep. Knowing Isagi Yoichi, he probably just thought that you were way too tired and chose sleep out of consideration. How sweet, truly.

But, also this is Isagi Yoichi and he never knows when to give up. With one last offering, he wrapped his hand around your back, “Can I hug you for the whole night, at least, though?”

“Sure, sure, Mr. Egoist. Aren’t you clingy today, huh?”

DAY 7: Summer!!!

Kiran summer alt real!!! Much like the Day of Devotion alt, I was actually toying with a design for this a while back, but never got around to cleaning it up. Which means its bonus sketch time! Yippee!

So this started as me wanting to draw that summer Sharena design after seeing xander-wolk take a crack at it, which you can find here. It was meant to be more of a warm up sketch but next thing I knew all four of my guys are on screen.

Then I explored the outfit a little more. Debated giving Kiran more dangly bits. But I ultimately settled on what usually works when drawing Kiran; throwing a coat on it.

You know that feeling where you have ideas. So many ideas. Too many ideas. And they all would take way too much time that you don't have if you actually wanted to execute them. So you just sit there giving yourself a headache because you cant decide where to start? Love that feeling. And by love, I mean I want to take my brain out of my skull and wring it like a wet sponge.

ey sorry i guess ive been kinda quiet over here, ive been a bit more active on my spicy account and on B-Sky but uhh hey i wanted to announce im FINALLY working on my comic Photosynthesis, so hope u guys like these boys cause theyre all im gonna be on about for a while XD

*Giggling under blankets* they don't know vitamin D is a catalyst in serotonin synthesis, that's why standing under the sun can make you feel better

*giggling intensifies* they also don't know melatonin is synthesised from serotonin. Therefore, you can sleep a bit better if you stand under the sun for some time

*evil laughter* they also don't know that this whole serotonin-metabolism chain starts with tryptophan and that you should eat protein not only to build muscle mass but also to just feel like an okay human being

*villain theme music starts* they also don't know that most of serotonin and melatonin is actually in the gut and if you're low on protein or vitamin D you can have tummy problems because of that

*epic chorus* vitamin D dissolves in fat therefore if you're taking supplements you might notice that a lot of them are somehow mixed with oil. But you can do the trick of adding fat to your diet to make it dissolve better

*the end*

Decided to draw some fucked up evil cats. Just another small glimpse into my dark and twisted mind.

[everybodyknows-everybodydies]

ESO Orsimer designs my nemesis honestly why did they do that to them. the bizarre sexual dimorphism of craggy men and delicate women with tiny tusks and button noses. stripped of their vibrant hues to be concerningly ashy and desaturated. whenever I find an NPC who's actually visibly Green I take a screenshot in excitement. I have like... two. and I'm pretty sure one is just because she's standing in really blue blue lighting. GIVE THEM BACK THEIR CHLOROPHYLL LET THEM PHOTOSYNTHESIZE AGAIN THEY ARE STARVING

[milkcanslam]

I just want to say how I love the way you draw Sunny Funny with leaf arms.

[kalikai]

Tried of watching grass grow?

yawn!! 😪

snoozefest!! 😴

the literal definition of an unbearably boring task!! 😬

you can't even see anything happening!! 🤬

Why not try watching algae photosynthesize!

fantastic! 🤑

mesmerising! 🤩

awe-inspiring! 😍

nature's own lava lamp! 👁️👄👁️

You can even watch the photosynthesis happening in real-time! Every time the sun comes out from behind a cloud there's a corresponding flurry of bubbles shortly afterwards! So cool!!

Olympia Miku who plays her synth pop noise set at a venue downtown that's not really supposed to be a music venue but has a chair and a power strip so it is one now. the next morning she puts on her Birkenstocks, socks, cute patchwork overall shorts, and Ray Troll shirt to go buy a coffee from the exact same place she played last night

Why is sleep essential to functioning

that’s stupid

nights when I function best

it’s so quiet, it’s not bright, it’s just,

amazing

but noooo

Re: my last post, I'm talking about Europa anyway <33

It's just so so cool. It's one of the few currently geologically active worlds in our solar system (I'm using world to count planets, satellites, and asteroids btw), with the others being Earth, Venus, Io, Titan, and Enceladus. They're all also incredibly interesting worlds, so feel free to ask about them.

But, Europa. Unlike Earth, Europa isn't powered via radiactive decay, but, rather, via the tidal forces from Jupiter and from being in resonance with Io (which is the most geologically active world in our solar system, btw).

So, Europa has a density of ~ 3 grams per centimeter cubed. Which means it's actually mostly rock. However, in the outer solar system past the snow line, water ice is the most common building block, so Europa's surface is entirely water ice. All of the rock is at Europa's core. All of the terrestrial worlds in the outer solar system (with the exception of Io), not only have water ice, but also have liquid water. However, this liquid water is far far beneath the surface, instead creating a sub-surface ocean.

So, why is Europa special? Europa's liquid water ocean is actually pretty close to the surface.

Here's a picture of Europa. (Also, please note that pretty much all pictures you'll see of other planets have have had the contrast increased)

Do you see those big lines of fractures along the surface? Those are because of the tidal forces from Jupiter. Basically, what happens is that the actual shape of Europa is being changed as it orbits Jupiter (and this is seen far more with Io, but it still affects Europa). So at certain points in its orbit, it's more oval than spherical and vice versa. (The same thing happens with the Earth's oceans as the moon orbits us, but the affects it has on the satellites in the outer world is a bit different due to a) having other satellites in resonance, and, b) the difference in size and mass between Jupiter and its satellites).

So, as Europa is orbiting Jupiter, these fractures are sometimes pulled apart. When that happens, the liquid water ocean underneath becomes exposed to the vacuum of space (because Europa doesn't have an atmosphere), so very very quickly a new layer of ice is formed. When the fractures close again at different points of Europa's orbit, that ice is pushed up and creates kinda ice-berg like mounds I'd say?

Anyway, it's one of the reasons we know Europa's ocean is pretty close to the surface.

But!! But. The most exciting thing is the fact that, due to the tidal forces from Jupiter, there's heat/energy sources in the ocean. Why is this important?

Because every single place on Earth where there is liquid water and a heat/energy source, there is life. Because this means that Europa is the most likely extra-terrestrial place in our solar system to have life.

And astrobiologists love Europa because of this.

So among other things I have some mad vitamin deficiencies

Including Vitamin D, which I'm wildly aware of, and have been taking it daily for months now

And my blood test results from the beginning of the month just came back and my MP wrote in red how bad my VitD levels are and that I need to be taking it weekly. Girl I'm already taking it DAILY and I'm less than half the minimum range, how will taking it weekly help me 😭
