there's a rumor that shen qingqiu's assistant carries around a little black slab wherever he goes. perhaps it's an object of unparalleled power to support his shoddy cultivation, or a keepsake from his homeland?

ohhg recently i was wondering. do coat genetics affect toe pad colors? or do you know what determines the colors if not? im a visual learner btw (really want to see many images of toe pads)

Oh yes, the base color absolutely affects their color. (But further coat patterning, tabby, color restriction ect usually not much.) And if the pads are part of an unpigmented (white) area, they'll be pink.

Black:

Useful trick - these kittens may look white but the paws reveal the true color:

They are black shaded or tipped tabbies: extreme expression of wide band combined with silver.

Blue:

Chocolate, cinnamon, lilac:

Red, cream:

Tortoiseshells can have pads in both of their colors:

And everything touched by white can be (completely or partially) pink:

Or not.

Hi! May I ask how you deal with pictures that don't have an image description, please?

Not many on tumblr are going to like the answer, but AI. The app Be My Eyes has a “Be My AI” mode that you can select photos and it will do its best to describe them. Seeing AI has a similar mode. I know most people on tumblr hate AI for what it’s doing for jobs and creativity, but for the disabled community it’s helping with independence, communication, and better understanding of the world around us.

Here is an example!

Neat isn’t it?!

Reaching out to all the autistic individuals out there surely one of you has comprehensive information timelines and visuals for the history of obscure computer program assistant mascots that used to be everywhere (ex. Clippy) and how they have visually changed or become obsolete. Pretty please for the love of god help me Google is full of AI bullshit

In the interview, Dr. Burkes shares his experiences with using mental techniques such as visualization and meditation to initiate visual contact with UAPs. He reports having had two-way communication with glowing orbs and lights in the sky, as well as instances of missing time. These claims are certainly intriguing and raise questions about the nature of consciousness and the possibility of non-human intelligence. Dr. Burkes’ conclusion that the intelligences behind the UAP phenomena are capable of manipulating human consciousness and belief systems is a significant one. It suggests that these entities, if they exist, may have a profound impact on human perception and understanding of reality. This idea is both fascinating and unsettling, as it challenges our conventional understanding of the world and our place within it.

I think the reason people, myself included at first I'll admit, are/got so hype for missing sis' design is because it's a 'canon' (I can't remember how canon the comics are) appearance of a character reveal that was planned to happen in Rise but we never got. Now that my hype has gone down I'm disappointed too :(. I'm semi-willing to forgive the snatched waist she has because Leo has it too. I do think the face marking are cool though

Yeah I do appreciate the facial markings, they're a different enough shape from Leo's (and the fanon ones the others often get) that they stand out nicely. The idea of a flame-like pattern that doesn't seem to be fully symetrical is very cool. But honestly? It's one of the few things I like about her face reveal/comic design, the rest I'm neutral on or mildly annoyed by.

this next part got ranty, so I'm just gonna put it under a read more. Absolutely nobody has to read this lol. TLDR I get heated about the design for Big Mama's Assistant in the comic.

I do want to clarify upfront, most of my issues are with the design of Big Mama's Assistant (Venus/Frida) as shown in the comic specifically. Given that it does not (and isn't meant to) fit into the show's artstyle, it's possible that her show design would have looked different. But the fact remains that this might be the closest we ever get to having an actual canon design of her.

And... it's not all that great a design in my opinion.

(That said, I do still like the markings that she's given in that design. Those are cool. Thumbs up.)

My main issue is with how there's so many little details intended to scream "I am a Girl Character that's G-I-R-L and don't you forget it". Like, I genuinely hope that's not the design she was supposed to have in the show, because it feels like it's being almost shoved in your face that This Is A Girl.

The traits I've noticed so far:

She has lips. Or possibly lipstick, but in either case the appearance of lips. None of the other (male) turtles have lips, but all the important female characters in Rise do.

She has heavy eyeliner/mascara, as in the upper line of her eye is noticeably thicker. Yes the boys look like they have winged eyeliner at some points, but hers is much heavier.

This is more subtle, but she seems to have larger pupils than the other (male) characters in the comic, giving her something of a doe-eyed look.

Her plastron shape has been rounded out/simplified, giving her the appearance of boobs and an hourglass figure. (Interesting note here: in the show, the male turtles have comparable or perhaps larger sized bumps in their plastrons. Yes there's a slight difference in shape, but it defintely doesn't look like she has boobs in the show.)

They made her have an obviously lighter skin tone than the other turtles. Yes it may well be a result of dramatic lighting, but enough people have taken it as her canon skin tone that it still counts.

Long story short, all these items are things often used in visual media (especially in cartoons) to code male and female animal characters as, well, male and female. And it's important to note, most of the time this coding is *completely divorced* from the sexual dimorphism actually seen in those species. We can speculate all we want on if she's wearing makeup or not, but the fact remains that turtles don't have lips or cinched waists. She doesn't *need* all that to emphasize that she's a girl. Even just two or three of these traits would be fine!

(And while I also have issues with the whole "you have a brother and sister" thing when it was previously discussed as being two sisters, maybe it would have been fun to see a design that gave us a little more room to debate if this was a brother or a sister. Yeah we'd heard from the creators that Big Mama's assistant was a girl, but that's also where we heard that the turtles had two sisters.)

It also kind of bothers me a bit to see the fandom response, in that there's a lot of people who are taking the design as is I guess? And sure, there's plenty of people who *aren't* drawing her as is and remove some of the intense girl coding, but there's also people who do draw her as close to the comic design as possible. And while there's nothing automatically wrong with that, I do hope those people are at the very least aware of the tropes that her design falls into.

Now to perhaps the more controversial part of this post outside of just the visual tropes she falls into. For me personally, there's nothing (outside her markings) that makes the face reveal all that interesting design-wise? And there's basically nothing that indicates anything about her personality.

She wears makeup. So what? Not only is that the societal standard for women and girls in real life, it's basically the standard for how female characters in Rise are designed. It's also a hugely common design element of female animal characters. It tells us nothing about her, except, again, she's a girl.

Her outfit is the same as canon, so there's no new information there.

Her expression is carefully neutral, and doesn't really tell us anything. Heck, everyone else in the scene is having more of a reaction than she is. The other turtles have shocked expressions and Big Mama is angry. Venus... has her eyes open I guess? There's a lack of expression on her part in an otherwise very expressive comic.

And (again in my opinion) her design honestly isn't particularly unique. She has a face shape relatively similar to Mikey's (the main different being his chin is rounded and hers is pointed) and she has facial markings like Leo. And while it's not a bad thing that her design resembles the other turtles given that she's supposed to be related to them, many of the design traits that make her stand out are the Girl Design Traits.

It's also worth pointing out that there's a very specific way Rise draws important female characters, with them all having similar body types and facial details, and this design plays right into that. It's a further example of a Rise girl/woman who's thin with a small waist and lips and a small nose and no obvious musculature. There's been other posts that break this down more than I'm going to here, but the design for Big Mama's Assistant just... continues all that.

And I don't have a problem with characters looking feminine, but when they're all feminine in similar ways, it gets a little... boring? Even a little body type diversity would have been nice (like giving Casey muscles instead of the same slender arms as everyone else, for example.) The assistant doesn't have to follow the same pattern (she's an entirely different species, for one), but she does.

And in some ways it's like, yeah, we got to have confirmation that she's a character. She exists. Hooray. She said nothing and she did nothing besides take off her mask. We all knew there was gonna be a face under there anyway! And seeing her finally appear in canon, only to be drawn using so many visual cues to show her as The Girl Turtle is... a little underwhelming, I think.

But the fact that I've already got a design for Venus/Frida is probably also a factor here. I'm more attached to my design and I like it better lol. Rant over.

Help me pay for animal bills

Yesterday (9/9) my rabbit passed away after being hospitalized for under 24 hours. I authorized the emergency vet to do anything they could to save him, and it was a valiant effort. Unfortunately he was just too far gone.

I am now over $4000 in debt soley in vet bills and I want to pay it off as fast as possible so I no longer have the reminder. I will not be asking for the full amount, as it's a lot and and I'm aware it may feel sketchy to some, but I would appreciate help towards at leat $2000 of it, as I'm the sole earner for myself, my disabled partner, and our two remaining pets. Because of that,

anything helps.
