If a materials scientist gives you a present, always ask whether regifting will incur any requirements for Federal paperwork.

Materials Scientists [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Ponytail, White Hat and Cueball are standing around a table. On the table is a gift with thin black stripes, with a present with a black ribbon sitting on top of it. Cueball is trying to holding a gift that has thick black stripes, trying to open it.] Cueball: Where is this wrapping paper from? It's so thin, but I can't tear it. Is this amarid fabric?! Cueball: Maybe I can unpeel the... oooh, the tape flashes as I pull it up! Triboluminescence! Did you add a phosphor? It's so bright! Cueball: Wait, are these patterns structural coloration?

[Caption below the panel:] Materials scientists are like cats - the best present you can get them is an empty box with cool wrapping paper.

I think the effects of leaving a fandom unsupervised for too long needs to be studied

#watching the svsss fandom explode with skincreatures again like a scientist in a lab #interesting... interesting.....#the fact that svsss made it so high onto the tumblr rankings this year despite getting absolutely no new content #makes me think it was all the fandom's doing #and therefore makes me think it can be blamed on the skincreatures #which is. so insane.#there is something truly special about the svsss fandom #which i think is a combination of factors #namely that the source material is the freaks and sickos book made for freaks and sickos (said with affection. im one of those sickos)#so the fandom is already primed for weird content #and then an absolute drought of new official content for several years means the fandom is left to its own devices #meaning people will make their own new content to be insane about #and for some reason. that is skincreatures.#i really can't help but wonder what people who aren't in the svsss fandom think whenever they see those things lol

Smell that. It's perfume. Eau D'Ball.

#these shots are excellent #again. gender material #playing ball reminds him of his sister... :'(#but this seems like a happy memory tbh #this ep was deeply f*cked up but this scene and the one outside the sherrif's department were actually very cute #the rest i wasnt a fan tbh #shoutout to whoever used a screenshot from this bit of the ep as the cover for a mulder-themed spotify playlist #because it lives in my head rent free #and also. keeps me up at night. which is annoying but the music is good so you get a pass #david duchovny #fox mulder #s04e02 #home #my gifs #the scientist speaks #x files #the x files

Lord Asriel x Marisa Coulter moodboard

"She and your father, they fell in love as soon's they met."

#i love the mad scientists vibe from them so #I have many fic drafts about them one day they'll be finished #My life just took a turn I was not expecting rip #Masriel #Marisa x asriel #Hdm #His dark materials #murder couple / infidelity / toxic relationship / academia they fit it all truly #*mine

Constance Tipper (16 February 1894 – 14 December 1995)

An English metallurgist, Constance Tipper (born Constance Fligg Elam) studied engineering at Newnham College in Cambridge in 1912. She would go on to hold a number of positions at various laboratories in the UK. By 1949 she had gained a position at Cambridge University, becoming the only full-time female faculty member in engineering. Tipper's research focus was primarily on the strength of metals and she is most well known for her work establishing existence of the ductile to brittle transition temperature in steels in the 1940s. The Tipper test is still used today to determine the brittleness of steels. She is also noted as the first person to study metal fracture surfaces using scanning electron microscopy.

Solid state physics professor: And so because we can describe things as infinite repeating lattices, we can use these relatively simple structural mechanics to describe semiconductors! Poor naive students: What about glass and other amorphous materials? Professor: Hahaha, we don't talk about glasses. They don't work like that. Students: Oh. So they have different properties than semiconductors? Professor: … well. No. Students: Wait. What? What do you mean no? Professor: They behave very similarly to semiconductors with respect to electric properties and are very similar to high mosaic crystals physically. Students: Oh. So … how do you describe the underlying physics leading to that behavior? Is it similar to lattice structures? Professor: Haha. Hah. Hah. Students: … we can describe the underlying physics right? Professor: … sure. Students: For more than high purity fused silica? Professor: … alright class dismissed, go home, study crystals, have fun, and if you hear me weeping horribly in my office no you didn't!

#science #I am a glass scientist #every day I am thankful I work on the laser processing side of things #with the most arcane and fucked up physics breaking lasers imaginable #and not as a glass material scientist

2012!Donnie, covered in engine grease: Yeah, I salvaged most of these parts from the trash, isn't it great! Plus, I figured out how to synthesize some of the necessary chemical compounds from the gasses naturally produced by sewage. Now THAT a gross weekend.

Rise!Donnie, who figured out how to use the internet for grand larceny and never looked back: You disgust me.

#2012 donnie is this renegade scientist who's bending and scraping for every bit of tech he has #meanwhile rise donnie will not work in conditions that don't meet his standards of quality and cleanliness #i also like to imagine that 2012 don does more work with chemistry and organic materials #whereas rise don's interest is almost exclusively in engineering and robotics #i like the idea of them having specializations ad well as very different styles #oh and i also forgot that 2012 donnie hs medical knowlege whereas rise donnie would NEVER #2012 donnie looking at any of rise donnie's creations and being like 'literally how did you do this in a sewer' is fun #but it's even more fun if rise donnie is like 'idk how do you willingly touch blood on a regluar basis'#tmnt #tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #my rambles #tmnt donatello

wip wednesday: let’s have some happiness around these parts for once!!

#back to making you guys read 🫡#big happy family :)#1. what are families good for besides playing cards on a school night and talking shit?#2. all Ice wants to do after his promotion ceremony is take mav out to dinner #3. the one day in 2015 when everything just… goes right #4. Mav being dad-shaped post-mission #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #bradley rooster bradshaw #icemav #top gun #top gun maverick #top gun fanfiction #i think the prop is made out of aluminum? idrk. not a materials scientist or anything. just making it up.#love the idea of ice & mav holding onto Bradley’s childhood #waiting for him to come back #he’ll come back.#all these mfs do is leave & come back to each other fr

Same friend that went out while he was in the eye of a hurricane later asked me why I didn’t just make a homemade solar power generator to cope with the loss of electricity and I was just

#his whole family is composed of scientists so doing that shit is second nature to them #but im over here like #u dumb fuck #u don’t realize what u have materially and intellectually

I drew a reference sheet for Garu Orochi for the first time since his last ref update in late 2021.

Although he wears a few different but similar outfits, here is one version of it for simplicity's sake. This reference also includes his hair angles, accessories, some of his snake features, and any tattoos and scarring on his body.

There will be a separate ref for his appearance when his hair is tied up, when he is wearing his reading glasses, and for his non-work outfits.
