Here's a lil custom flash piece I did back in Nov 2020. I did a series of flowers with obscene & goofy sayings in the stem.

[Image Description: Forearm on black background. On the forearm is a tattoo of a seeded dandelion, with three seeds floating away in the breeze. Cursive writing, incorporated in the stem reads, "blow me." The tattoo is in grayscale with a pop of color in the head of the dandelion.]

and when i say "specimens" i don't mean taxidermied mounts made to look lifelike for exhibit, i'm talking about the thousands to millions of specimens lying in drawers and shelves like this:

asking because i didn't know this until i was in high school. reblogs greatly appreciated, i want to reach as far out of science nerd tumblr as possible!

@the-archetype-of-civilization

The sound of beeping was heard in a sealed off room, a lower light seen as well showing someone resting on a table like bed. They seem to have been put to sleep for a while now but someone else was watching over them during this time. Given the situation of being locked down here. For now, the other named Hanoka remains guarding but hopes the other wakes up soon.

I highly recommend listening to this podcast episode. Especially if you're someone who is entering the new year feeling hopeless or like there's nothing you can do to make anything better.

Actually, I recommend listening to their entire four episode series on finding hope in the wake of the 2024 US election (Season 9, Episodes 11-14)

The short version is: The science shows us that humans are "kinder, less divided, and more cooperative than we realize". Most of us underestimate how much other people care about the same issues we do and how much of an impact we can have in fixing those issues when we try. But really, listen to the podcast.

"Research finds that cynics don't vote or protest as much as their more hopeful counterparts. They leave the work to others. And even worse, people who feel hopeless sometimes belittle that work. They're quick to talk about society's ills, but also claim there's no cure and it's dumb for anyone to try to fix it.

We often think of cynicism as a radical feeling which will hold power to account. In fact, it's often the opposite--a tool of the status quo."

you know, i give geoff johns a lot of shit for not knowing what a clone is, but i really don't give him enough shit for also apparently not knowing what "children" and "siblings" are. like, let's look at this panel for a second.

teen titans (2003) #34

like... hey geoff? if you want to clone a guy you need his dna. you can't just combine his parents dna a second time and hope the same guy comes out. you know that, like, when you take dna from each parent and combine it a second time you get a DIFFERENT CHILD than the first time, right? you know that, uh, people with older siblings are not actually "clones" of said older siblings? geoffrey i KNOW you don't know what a clone is but jesus fucking christ

Garage Sale

Well, when the Fentons decided to have a garage sale Danny didn't expect many to be interested. His parents were looking for a way to get money quickly to build more stuff, and he jokingly suggested they could sell some inventions, they took it seriously (Jazz made sure to remove all the lethal inventions, she tried with the ones that might be risky but then they wouldn't sell anything).

Danny knew his parents were strange yes, but he wasn't sure that justified millionaires in his backyard. Millionaires, he'd like to clarify, had never set foot in Amity Park before. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of Bruce Wayne and his sons checking out the appliances. None of them seemed to be interested in the "ghosts" but they hadn't backed down from taking some things either.

So yes, Danny was suspicious. Of course he had made sure the inventions in the sale were safe (although unlike Jazz, he simply decided to make them safe, a few modifications here and there), but the fact that they looked genuinely interested made him uneasy.

Were the Waynes interested in hunting ghosts?

He decided to try something, he crossed eyes with one of them and let his green eyes show before looking away, the boy looked alarmed. He approached him and asked, but Danny feigned ignorance, commenting that all the inventions were green and maybe he had been confused by the reflection (to be fair, most of his parents' inventions were green because of the ecto).

For his part, Bruce had received an alert from Justice League Dark, it seemed they had detected a strange energy, similar to magic, so the bats set out to investigate. They didn't expect to find a garage sale in a house in the middle of nowhere (Amity Park wasn't even marked on the fucking map). Nor did they expect advanced technology or mad scientists.

Bruce decided to pretend he had stumbled into town as "Brucie Wayne" and buy a few things. He shuddered to see that many inventions worked with Lazarus water. Jason, who had strangely agreed to come along, was also upset about the son of the scientists.

Bruce questioned whether he had found a family of villains in the making.

Best of luck with the finals, lovelies. Working on my last lab report for the semester (✿´‿`)

[varyingobsession]

greetings ladies et al.

this took me months, 3 drawing program switches (and subsequent almost losing/corrupting the whole almost finished file), many in-game field research expeditions, and honestly more literature review than i expected to make, but by jove if i cant go way too hard infodumping botanical and biochemical information to make a speculative biology "thesis" for no reason, then what can i do

written as presented by my silly hearthian xenobiochemist oc, jet :-)

also comes in pdf form for your convenience

slightly bc i saw this [eote/dlc spoilers] speculative biology post from @ms-marz and got inspired

thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I heard you, it worked!

Chara Week Day 5: Ghost

Every time I see that machine in the True Lab, I wonder if it could possibly be Chara's soul in there? Probably unlikely, but not impossible... It's interesting to think about what the implications of that would be.

A version with no text and then a version with just the machine, because I think it looks pretty cool and ominous alone as well.....

wearing these in the lab today cuz i mean look at them?!

Congratulations on finally being born, Eden !!!

🎉🎉 🎊🎊

Also, congrats to Cale on the birth of his new baby, who's 900 years old , XD.

Finally, the egg was completely broken. - Human, it's born! The moment Raon shouted like that. -oh! 'hmm!' Cale and Raon were both surprised. Paaaaah! A bright light emanated from the egg. -It's real light. As super rock said, real light, not the light created by Raon and Erhaven, poured out from the egg. It was so dazzling that Cale closed his eyes without realizing it. But in the midst of all this, something faintly appeared in the center of the light. He reached out his hand without realizing it, even though he had his eyes closed. Soft. Something touched my hand. He realized that it was another front paw. When Raon was young, he was a little softer than usual, so Cale noticed it right away. He gently grabbed its front paw and pulled it. Then something came into his arms. The invisible Cale. He knew what to do before this bright light ended. He gently stroked the soft, smooth back and then lifted the small creature that fit in his two hands up high above his head. And the light went out. - Human, this is Eden Mir ! Cale and Raon, who have become invisible, were inside an aurora made of brilliant platinum powder. They could see a small dragon in the center. Eden Mir was half-human and half-dragon, but now appeared as a baby dragon. The dragon, small enough to fit in Cale's two hands and safely supported, slowly opened its eyes. The dragon bowed his head as if he knew who was supporting him. “… …”. “… …”. Cale and Eden Mir looked at each other. And Cale was startled. Because he saw dark brown eyes just like his own. A black body like Raon. But the golden patterns embroidered on its body reminded him of the Milky Way. And two small purple horns sprouted out. Half-human, half-dragon, possessing light and time. Eden Mir.

Raon's round eyes drew a crescent moon-like smile at Cale.

-Thanks.

A voice that sounds like magic.

Although the voice was very young, it was Eden Mir.

-I like the name.

Belatedly, Eden Mir expressed his gratitude to Cale.

Imagine being so cute that even Cale and Raon are stunned!! We have another cute and adorable baby dragon now!! 🥳🥳
