My favorite speleothem by far are rimstone dams, and by extension, calcite rafts. Rimstone dams are awesome, and occur aboveground too! They can grow quite large, with the biggest I've seen being 10ft high, though that particular one was dried up. I should also mention, calcite rafts can settle on any suitable body of water in a cave, but when they're on rimstone dams it feels extra special to me and so I associate the two with eachother. The basic chemistry behind calcite rafts is that as surface water evaporates it will precipitate calcite on the surface because the remaining water has supersaturated CaCO3 concentrations and can't "fit" any more CaCO3 in it, leading it to precipitate. Depending on other factors super saturation does not need to be present but that's a whole other post. Anyway, they're super cool! And also super fragile!! There's a great research article done by the folks at Timpanagos National Monument where they observe the accelerated growth of calcite rafts (and other speleothems) during COVID. Highly recommend!

Still thinking about hcs while cleaning out my notes, and like, this one sorta goes as both a hc and a random design choice I've kept, (tho I haven't posted or saved any of the related doodles :/) but in considering how much Fulcrum's k-class reformatting changed him, I really like the idea of it throwing off his original proportions some

Like, k-classers generally all appear fairly similar build-wise.

There's a blueprint that's being followed there, and those that are being reformatted are going to have to fit it.

(Unless there's multiple blueprints, different size classes of k-cons, and Fulcrum was just caught somewhere in the middle zone size and payload-wise?)

So some mechs are going to have to be broken down to fit into this new shell, either by getting stretched out or pulled inwards to be ultimately crammed into shape.

Cybertronians of course come in all shapes and sizes, and they don't always align with humanoid-esque proportions, obviously, but I like to think the k-class reformatting offered an awkward and impractical in-between of all types.

Of course Fulcrum fit into that general humanoid-shaped category before the refit, regardless of whatever his alt-mode kibble or lack thereof would have added. But he's just the standard non-combat levels of lightly armored, average height, though a little lanky already, but generally sort of boringly, humanoidly, practically proportioned.

Then comes the refit.

To make more space for the bulk of his built-to-shatter shell, arms and legs are broken, hastily extended, and loosely jammed back in place, leaving them slightly too long, hinged a little too low and off balance, and uncomfortably loose in their sockets.

Everything but the barest essentials of his core and inner-framework are gutted to make space for the payload. Leaving his balance entirely off-kilter, with long hollowed out limbs built solely to surround the heavy core with an armored casing, that aren't at all altered with any natural movement or livability in mind.

Basically this fine specimen-

-just, a lot more refined and detailed.

Training would've essentially amounted past propaganda and how best to die, to mainly just learning how to sit, stand, and walk just enough to get to the jumping point with this new, disproportioned, and too awkwardly long, (or too short depending on the mech), k-class frame.

And like, this all doesn't stray too far from what we see of his initial design on Clemency. Him just sorta being long and awkward and scuffed to hell. But I like to think that awkward build doesn't change much after Spinister, assumedly, rebuilt his frame after Clemency.

The k-class alterations are bone deep, so to speak. To change them back at this point would require an even more strenuous and invasive refit than the first one, and safe to say Fulcrum obviously wouldn't be too terribly keen on that, even if they could afford it.

So all Spinister can really do reframing-wise, is just kinda sculpt and refine it all around his reformatted structure to turn it into less of a cage-like shell and more of an actual body.

Like bulking up plating in more natural places for balance, along with adding more breathable seams and flexible angles for better movement, while of course making sure to tighten those loose joints as best he can. Though he still has to account for the longer limbs and now empty core, so it's definitely not the same weight and balance of Fulcrum's original build. But, it is far more livable than what Styx had left him with.

I don't have much else to say on it, besides how him getting used to his frame being taller and longer is definitely an interesting nugget to roll around mentally outside of design inspo, and its one of my fav hcs to see mentioned in art, fics, or posts. (along with him having chronic pain bcs of the weird shitty joints)

Little things like him taking a few months to figure out how sit comfortably with new longer legs- folding them against himself awkwardly, or streching out in odd positions -much to the other Scav's amusement, or learning to keep himself from catching his arms and bulky shoulder plating constantly on things, which is also funny to everyone, until he knocks something over while they're trying to hide, then it's less funny.

Idk, there's tons of angst potential surrounding his reformat of course, but in canon he's all mostly vibes, so idk, it's funny to think of how he'd try his best to take his weird, gangly frame in stride outside of moments of despair. He's doing his best to make the nigh praying mantis levels of ~long~ and ~scrawny~ work ok

~And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit /… / hath his name Apollyon.~

I had several ideas for today, but ultimately I decided to draw Apollyon as its namesake, as well as my favourite character in BoI!

I think about all the FromSoftware bosses and NPCs that had roles that were drastically altered during development or character elements and lore that were swapped or cut out entirely, and it makes me wonder which aspects of Messmer's character got altered/swapped/cut during development that we haven't seen yet.

unions and guilds aren’t just about collective bargaining power, they’re about employee health and wellbeing and community and looking after each other and ensuring everyone is looked after well. that often exists totally seperate to the workplace! the reason unions spend all their time (and funds!) collective bargaining and not improving life for their members is a result of having cheapass capitalist bosses who necessitate this, not because that’s their core function.

Well it allows me to eat food, which is generally advisable. It ensures I can stock anxiety pills in the cabinet and rent my very own shower to cry in, so

If you wanna really experience that Welsh pride I can only ever truly recommend just listening to Yma o Hyd on repeat

i do like that song my nana was real fond of it :) but also as a welsh-american (if i count as that at this point) it’s a bit. well we can’t exactly say despite everything we’re still here on account of the fact that we are not still there

i do think cyberwizard drugs is a funny trait for victor. ostensibly this is for his magic and to maintain his connection to his cybernetics but its kind of like a guy who gets a medical card for back pain and then makes weed his primary personality trait.

That was so sweettttt AWWWWWWWW i smiled so hard reading that

Love that you mix both the show and comic versions, both having its ups and downs and you combined it very well!

ASDFGHJKL i just needdd to get that out of my system because i’m a huge fan of boboiboy’s comic with the main reason being they - kokotaim - actually looked their age asdfghjkl

thank youuu!! i’m glad u think sooo!! ^^
