johto’s champion and chronicler for the deity of the ilex shrine, it’s lyra!🌿

this one took me a while due to trying out different techniques (studying a Lot of art nouveau) and making a couple changes to her outfit (the details help), but I’d like to think she’s learned a lot in her journey and wanted to reflect her experience more in her champion fit

her specialty would be in fairy types and her meganium’s divergent evolution is grass/fairy 🧚🪷

and a bonus w/ the johto gang after the photoshoot!

This is one color coded dynamic we do not talk enough about~

Hello hello hi, I was thinking about Ratchet and Impactor from the Netflix trilogy. And crying.

Also guys I want you to think about the fact that at the end of that trilogy the Cybertronian race is made up of less than 30 mechs half of which come from the future technically. And Unicron, Nemesis and Galvatron... but idk do they count? I don't feel like they count as Cybertronian no?

Anyway... mechs.

And they pretend to separate. Pffffftttt like dude. Bish please. You're SO doomed might as well get along for fuck's sake. This separation thing is temporary and YOU KNOW IT. Istg I wanna hit them with a brick

I really love that trilogy. I mean I hate it. But actually it had me in a chokehold, if some studio ever decides to put out a movie length episode that actually CONCLUDES that storyline I'll be happy. I don't care how dark or edgy they make it I just really wants to see more of that universe because... it wasn't great but I liked it.

It was trash but I am a raccoon. It was MY TRASH OKAY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH

what's good about a pilot falcon?

HI! The Pilot Falcon (older generations were sold in the US as the Namiki Falcon for whatever reason) is a japanese fountain pen manufactured by Pilot!

it's often referred to as the best modern flex pen, or the best gold nib for a beginner! Tldr for people who aren't pen nerds, a flex pen is a pen that...well, flexes! Most pens have some sort of "flex" to them that results in some sort of line variation, but flex pens can handle a relatively higher amount of pressure. Think like a G nib used in a lot of manga. Old pens were the MASTERS at this, and a good bit of that is due to the nibs being made of gold, which naturally has a "bounce" to it that modern steel nibs have a really hard time living up to. Most people wax poetic about Waterman or other vintages like that because of it. Even modern gold nibs can't really keep up with the gold nibs of yore, but the Falcon is considered to be one that can. I do think legally it's considered a "soft" nib, meaning it's not truly a flex pen but has a lot of flex qualities to it, but some terms that get used are used interchangably so. idk. True flex nibs aren't really a thing in fountain pens these days outside of Noodler's Ahab and Konrad (which are their own nightmare and a half tbh).

The Falcon prized amongst artists for it's very fine nib, which Japanese pen manufacturers like Pilot and Platinum are known for. A Japanese Fine is comparable to a Western (Kaweco, Lamy) Extra fine, and a lot of these pens come in an EF, F, and M. It gets alot of nice line variation despite being so small, and is really an all-around great pen, if legend is to be believed :] An alternative to buying the Pilot Falcon would be getting the Pilot 912 FA, which has something called the "Falcon Nib," not to be confused with the actual pen. They actually look pretty different. The FA nib (right) has these weird cuts on their side that help with flexing and allow it to mimic a full-flex nib, but again. According to legend, modern pens don't flex like vintage pens do, but it IS pretty close.

(sources mentioned in alt text)

I've never used either myself, but I'm pretty picky about my pens and so I don't know if I'd ever pay upwards of $200 unless I got familiar with the nib first tbh....The falcon's nib isn't offputting to me like many feel about it, but I'm particular about aesthetics and the feedback on paper and I can't tell if I like them just from looks alone lol. Right now, I don't have much experience with pilot nibs, but if i were to get a pilot pen, tbh I'm looking at the Pilot Elite/e95s in a fine or medium, or a vintage platinum pocket pen.

Anyways that's that and this is also that. *twirls so elegantly and then collapses onto the ground in slapstick fashion*

coughs. hi still here

Always holding Ven-Ghan’s hand on main its my single braincell at time. I like to think about shared interests/hobbies (if.. yknow you could say he’s someone to have hobbies. maybe more just.. tasks he finds comfort in and doesnt mind the process.)

Being an auto tech/car enthusiast sometimes I feel that we could find an odd shared topic over engineering. Lord knows i’d wanna rack up question after question over “alien” engineering and design. “Why does your ship have (xyz) is it similar in sense as to why (a) vehicle has (b) feature so its easier to (c)” smthn yada yada. I just like talking about how stuff is designed sometimes.

Actually before I went into the automotive trade I really wanted to follow up on astrobiology. I just like space. I’d love to hear the endless stories of hunts and explorations he would have. Space is cool 👍 shoutout sci-fi shows and movies for making younger me fixate on the stars.

On that too god i’ve been rewatching Farscape a ton lately. Sometimes I wonder what his thoughts would be on shows/movies like that. Is Farscape a realistic depiction of whats out there? Or is it more in line with Star Trek? What about Andromeda?

Anyway yeah thumbs up. Heres a ramble.

something you don't learn until you get really far into the making and tinkering life is that there's no such thing as "glue" really. there are so many kinds of substances that stick other substances together and they are all very different and if you just go look at the adhesives aisle in the hardware store the packaging never actually tells you anything useful. it's like "this is SUPER T-REX POWER GLUE" and the fine print says "good for use on wood metal and plastic". okay. but WHICH PLASTICS MY GOOD BITCH,

because SURPRISE, there's no such thing as "plastic" either. every kind of wood is basically the same on a chemical level, but the only thing every plastic has in common is "some of its molecules are long" and that is NOT a quality that determines how things stick together.

I just ordered some stuff I hope will permanently stick a circuit board to a steel sheet and withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. by the way circuit boards are made of epoxy-bound woven glass cloth which is cool as hell but what the fuck do you glue that with? can any of the 12 kinds of adhesives I currently own do that? no of course not. if I want to stick two pieces of acrylic together so hard they become watertight to a depth of 3000 metres I have some shit that does that, but it does literally nothing else.

anyway. once you start learning how many kinds of sticking things together there are, the people at 3M start to seem like witches and I don't know if they're the kind we can trust with that level of arcane knowledge
