We’re suckers for cephalopods!
Did you know that giant Pacific octopuses have roughly 2,000 suckers lining their eight arms?! 🤔🐙 The suction cups allow these inquisitive invertebrates to investigate their watery world through touch, taste, and smell. Watch aquarist Candace prepare a food enrichment for one of our giant Pacific octopuses and see how this savvy cephalopod shows off their super sucker senses.

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in
#viktor#arcane#ig my assumption would be that he wears both simultaneously cause in the scene where he injects the shimmer#it seems implied that he just threw off his clothes and kept experimenting#so one might assume he was already wearing the smaller one underneath#tho it is a funny image to think of him just being like 'one sec i gotta go all the way home and grab my other brace to do this'#he can take off the back brace too cause hes not wearing it in the scene where he's in the hospital bed and you can see his shoulder#where the strap would be#but that one seems to make even less sense functionality wise#everything looks like its screwed together#or screwed INTO him#but only the top bolts on his spine are i think#in the close ups of his back brace model it looks like theres cushioning underneath the parts of it that cover the rest of his spine#so he can take it off. but HOW#what parts of it unscrew/detatch to pull open and off#does it not do that at all and he just has to shimmy it off his shoulder and all the way down his legs to get it off like a romper#the shape language of the designs are cool but like. tell me how it wooorrkkksss#forgive me if im just dumb and dont know at all how braces work and theres a very simple practical explanation for all this#any king who wants to infodump about mobility aids at me....the floor is yours#something to be said i suppose about the fact that zaunites have crazy prosthetics with wild augmentations that work flawlessly#and piltover's like. idk heres some fucking uncomfortable ass metal. salo gets wheelchair in non ada compliant place#they havent ever needed to adapt to accommodate disabilities etc etc#or maybe artists were just like 'heres a design' and everybody clapped and didnt give it a second thought#and then they just turned off the visibility on the mesh when they didnt need it knowing thered not be a scene where its taken off#dont even wanna THINK about what that rig would look like#like 40 different controllers#soft body and rigid hard surfaces needing to move together....#a cold chill just shot up my spine#<- guy who is only an animator and doesnt know how to rig#forgive the magic wand tool with zero cleanup. i am lazy

first-time baking :)
they swapped the measurements of baking soda with sugar :(
#slay the princess#voice of the paranoid#voice of the smitten#my art#my doodles#for the first one#i dont like that doodle very much.. eugh whatever its a light and quick one#compared to the second one bc i took fucking. 3 hours on it. its not obvious but i did#tbf i had to reset twice...#i did the same thing they did in g8 lol#i didnt admit till like. a month later when my class was doing confessions as a homeroom activity#and it was cookies too :(( i was so sad when i bit into one and realized it was too salty/bitter#um. i should probably stop rambling in my tags but i have one more thought#so i gave baking to paranoid bc it was relaxing to me (back when i had access to an oven anyway)#but uh. its really not very relaxing tbh. at least for someone like him#so much can go wrong. like. go pray to the deity of your choice at that point#maybe your baking soda just. fucking decides to clump together. because fuck you. apparently that can happen

someone pulling the collar of their shirt over their face– just to completely stifle into it, rendering the act of covering purely for politeness' sake
#idk this post- like all the ones i make- has probably been made before#but i was just thinking (bc. that's all i can seem to do lately like help. me. oh my god.) and#the mental image of someone's face scrunching up- eyes drifting off into the distance- nose twitching- breath catching-#maybe they stop walking- or take a step back from the conversation- shaky hands pull up the collar#their breath a vocal “hieHhh-” and you think oh? oh you need to cover it with your shirt?#don't want to get it on your hands? dont want to catch it in an arm-#just to have the 'release' (if you can call it that) be a damn near silent “ngt-chhew!” and now you go oh. *oh*.#was it always going to be stifled? were you uncertain if you could manage to stifle it?#or did you know you could and just wanted a second wall between it and the world???#idk dude im frothing at the mouth over here so im gonna post it bc that's what i do#thank you for coming to another waterfallh*rnpost#waterfalltalks#waterfall snzarios#waterfallnevershutsthehellupohmygod#snz#snzkink#snzblr#snz kink#snz thoughts#snzario

I can appreciate the interpretation that Jayce had to break his leg and go insane and suffer and climb from the bottom of the fissures to the top of Piltover as some karmic lesson to teach Jayce about Viktor's difficult life. (I think it's stupid, but I can appreciate that others might like it)
However, I CAN'T accept the idea that Jayce going through that trauma is how he came up with his awful speech at the end to talk Viktor down. It felt like he was possessed because where tf did that "accept your imperfections" philosophy come from?
WHY would Jayce breaking his leg and suffering horrendously for it make him think Viktor should have just ACCEPTED his own bad leg and terminal illness?
Jayce gets out of the pit because he built himself a brace. He used every tool and scrap of knowledge he had at his disposal to "cure" his weakness just like Viktor wanted to do! And then in the finale... Jayce suddenly believes he shouldn't have?
Where was the "accept your imperfections" you preached about Jayce? Because it looked like all you did was suffer until you managed to overcome your imperfection. With technology.
Where is all that beauty you were talking about?
Did you learn to appreciate how "beautiful" it was at the bottom of that pit with your toxic salamander friends? Do you regret that you didn't stay there? That maybe Viktor should have too???
#jayce talis#viktor arcane#arcane critical#nobody writing this show put a second of thought past surface interpretations i swear to god#i dont think Jayce smiles even once after this :((#arcane season 2#arcane#mine#maybe if he celebrated at some point? like after he got out? but he just like.. maybe looks relieved#or passes out

I am nothing if I don't follow the whims of my heart wherever they may lead!!! Lazytown self insert!! 😳💖💖
She lives in Lazytown and I'm debating whether to make her Stephanie's cousin or just another citizen, but either way the particular reason she isn't as active as she could be is she's scared of EVERYTHING. Yes, I've thrust upon her my issues with anxiety (inspired partly by the recent wave I've been experiencing over the past few days 😅) she's scared of cars, birds, germs, certain types of bugs, and it leads to her feeling safer at home.
The lessons she learns with Sportacus and the others are to teach that even though the world can be scary, you can overcome it and get out there and experience all the good in it! 🥺💖

Winn + Mac fusion idea. lalala.
#clemart#uhm. yeah sure boss up#ttcc#toontown corporate clash#mac opsys#winn dos#<- technically#Crome#idk i got inspired by a lot of the cog fusions going around. a lot of my notes are in the second one#if you can read them. i rushed them bc i wasnt planning on sharing but some of my friends like them ++ i had a change of heart#i dont think ive seen a toon/toon fusion so heh.. you know what i had to do#actually ive had the idea for a little bit. i just needed a push of inspiration#i tried to make them a nice mix between the two but i fear they lean too heavily on one side or another..sighs and kicks rock#technically speaking i wouldve left their arms a solid blue or maybe a blue/white. but i feel like with the hair the yellow is#blocked out. so i thought doing half blue half yellow would be a bit more balancing#like winns (and macs to a degree) design i put the green on the clothing rather than the body#this is a little more colorful than what i think is possible but tch whatever. sniffles. gets scared#i think ive given up on trying to keep drawing toon species that are only in game. go my bugs and jerboas who cares anymore#i might remove the blue from the tail later..idk....

is sugishita a big silly stupid dumdum?
my staunch belief is that sugishita is NOT DUMB. hes pretty smart, actually. somehow i fell into the illusion of sugishita being a dumbass, which, of course he is, but, like, hes not dumb, or super naive, or an idiot (an archetypical baka) (affectionate) the way sakura is. see: sugishita not falling for suo's bullshit
extremely unimpressed
but he gloats a little too much about this... maybe hes usually pretty baka stupid but not as much as sakura.
his favorite subject is chemistry! dumdum heads like sakura or kaji either have 0 or have PE as their favorite subject. even if hes interested in it because of gardening, he knows the material.
so heres what i think: i think he gets average grade. ok grades. which is great for somebody who go to bofurin and sleep through class since the 2nd grade. in a normal high school, he would be a good ole just-below-average to average to barely-above-average student. in furin, this would probably put him at the upper quartile of his class. being quiet and socially awkward doesnt mean hes a big dumdum in everything else. hes not good at expressing himself, yes -- i think sugishita's development will likely center around him learning how to express himself and may end with him helping somebody else articulating their feelings, or (framed as unexpectedly) stepping up to a leadership role temporarily, like in a fight -- but, like, that doesnt make him dumb. a stereotypical teenage boy is bad at words but good at science, for example.
heres my headcanon/fanfique(tm): it would be so funny if sugishita is the only one to go to college after graduation. he scores perfectly average in every subject, except for chemistry, which hes solidly miles above average. not genius, not once-in-a-lifetime talent, not award-winning even, but he starts off college already knowing two years worth of a chemist education.
which confound everyone who sees his grades and read his applications. suo and kiryuu passionately discussed and strategized on how sugi can get into college, from local ones to travel-to-tokyo ones, and suo even flirted with the idea of sugi getting into utokyo (too far from home, sugi absolutely cannot be left to his own device in a metropolitan area, chance of getting in ~1%). their homeroom teacher and guidance counselor almost went bald deciding how they should write his recommendation letter (quiet but helpful? righteous anger? he-looks-scary-but-hes-a-good-kid-we-promise?). they werent even sure if he was at college-reading level going into third year (nirei helped. a lot.) at the end, they settle at the nearest college in town, which is fine and decent enough that they harbored some doubt if sugishita is going to get in. umemiya encouraged sugi to apply to several places (just in case).
to the surprise of most (but not suo, kiryuu, or umemiya), sugishita got into college. its a fine one. its close enough that he still lives at home, go to college full time, and work part-time at whatever establishment umemiya now works at (my headcanon is that he starts a farm. kiryuu uses his nepo baby money to be the primary stakeholder). sugi's grades in college is good enough that he contemplated getting a phd at some point. but then he decided, nah, and follow the agricultural science track, graduate, maybe get a masters, and work at the farm with ume-senpai. sometimes, when the local elementary school go to visit, ume pressured sugi into giving them a chemistry-focused tour.
andddd this is basically a fanfic. maybe i'll write it someday.
#no more Backstory Speculations. lets move to#Can These Children Make It To Higher Education Speculations#in sugishita's case. yes. i believe in him.#having “furin high school” in his transcript surely confounded every college committee in japan but its fine. his grade is ok.#wbk#wind breaker#sugishita kyotaro#yes i love farmer ume. theres no other option. he loves planting he loves farming hes singlehandedly reviving the agricultural workforce#my roomie and i were talking about it#ume would absolutely give vegetables to the orphanage for free#and hold barbeque parties on the farm every month#u know. chika is kinda autistic-core. i think he'd enjoy being a farmer too.#how did ume start a farm u may ask#of course. its from kiryuu's nepo baby money bag. he convinced his fathers/brothers company (board) to invest in Local Agriculture#and funded the opening of the farm#he doesnt give a shit if its profitable or not. they can lose 10mil a month for all he cares. but he believes in Agriculture#how did kiryuu managed to convince his fathers/brothers? tax breaks#do i think the other children can get into college? of course suo kiryuu and nirei can#side notes my hc is that nirei's and sugi's average grade is about the same. nirei's being slightly higher perhaps#but will they?#kiryu: no. fuck college. fuck the establishment. maybe he'll go to beauty school or something. or just enjoy the generational wealth#i love unemployed kiryuu so much u cant imagine#on a second thought: gender studies student kiryuu (lol. fuck u dad.) or pro-gamer kiryuu.#i can see suo and nirei going for college maybe. but suo doesnt seems like he has that aspirations. nirei could go for journalism.#u dont need a degree to be a childrens author <3 or to be a martial arts master#well this is getting real long#wbk_misc.txt

It's so weird that in angel s5e2 they do a little flashback to Spike's blaze of glory moment in the last episode of Buffy... but they leave out Buffy saying "I love you". It's such a blatant omission, the ONLY omission from that scene, that it feels totally deliberate and kind of dishonest. Considering a lot of the Spike and Angel moments in S5 revolve around their jealousy and rivalry towards each other, and a LOT of that is to do with Buffy like... Why would you leave it out? It's a pretty big moment for Spike's character in general.
As far as I recall they don't even mention it, they just mention the fact that Spike and Buffy have had a lot of sex compared to bangel's ONE disastrous time (that they remember) but it does kind of cheapen it for Spike. A big motivation for him not leaving LA could have been him not wanting to hold Buffy to her words, since he clearly doesn't believe that she loves him (even though she does, as per Whedon). He presumably thinks she only said that to make him feel better in his final moments, because she wouldn't have to actually follow through on her words. Which is sad. But it makes much more sense as a motivation than the weird 'it cheapens my moment of glory' excuse like since when does spike give a shit about that
#spuffy#idk missed opportunity for sure. maybe it's brought up later in the season? I can't remember rn#but they do kind of shunt spike's complexity and make his character all about angel's feelings#though don't get me wrong i LOVE their fight over the cup#i love the symbolism of spike being able to hold the cross while angel can't.#spike pointing out that he fought for his soul while angel had to be forced to change is sooooo cathartic#because that's the thing about angel is he's not inherently a good person. he has to continually fight to be better#he's the faith to spike's buffy#btvs thoughts#btvs#anyway their continued insistence that buffy and angel are soulmates that transcend any other relationships#is rly detrimental to both buffy and angel as characters imo. as well as any other relationships they might have#cordelia and spike who actually put in the work to get to know them as people are automatically relegated to second fiddle#dont get me wrong i love bangel for the angst but i dont buy that buffy will always be in love w the same guy she barely knew at age 16

something about perspective, representation, or finding beauty in imperfection, i don't know. i mostly just wanted to say that fake pep looks like shitty ice cream.

sometimes i wish i was one of those artist that make people go "this is a PAINTING???" or "with WHAT programm/medium???" but its just not what i can do or find fun :/
#ganondoodles talks#personal#not really for the attention thing but more for .. work being recognized?#im not sure#to feel more like people actually stop and look at sth instead of skipping over it?#maybe its jsut an internet phenomena(?)#like the way everything is just consumed within seconds and never lasts long and if you miss the trend you are irrelevant#the sort of weird pressure to have to subvert expectations or be exceptionally exceptional just to be recognized ?#(which i know isnt always a good thing lol)#also this isnt a complaint per se more like a thought#like i sometimes wish i was into the popular characters instead of the niche ones etc#that kind of thing#also like i wish i could make art that really speaks to people .. like those that are just so .. interesting and strange and poetic#bc (while i know fanart and silly oc projects arent worhtless) those feel more worthwhile? more worth really being called art?#for soemthing to be truly art it should be either exceptionally skilled or profound like the greatest poets?#im just doing whatever my brain allows me to do- which i know is fine#but i also dont think its inherently wrong to wish for being more than that sometimes#(... maybe its mostly just loneliness without knowing how to find friends)#(especially where i am and especially as i just want a friend to live with - not a partner... i dont want to be this alone forever ...)#(actually ....... what if all my art self consciousness comes from wanting to feel less lonely .. oh dear- no time to unpack that omg)

These are brain worms that have been eating me and idk what to do with but what if danny phantom × pjo/toa crossover that's danny/amnesiac!lester. He hit his head when he crashed landed in that dumpster and forgot everything, stumbled out of the alley and wandered away. Meg just misses him, instead good ol Danny finds him and because he's a nice guy they go to the hospital together and stay in touch. They find out Lester (or whatever he'd be going by with no memories) is basically a ghost (ha) and Danny is like hey you know where ghosts belong, the most haunted town in America:] and lester has nothing else going on so they both leave and the gods have no fucking clue where mortal apollo is. I imagine he stays like that for a while (years in my head because it's funny for me but has horrid implications) until he gets hit in the face with a dodgeball and it all comes back to him. Cue monumental mental breakdown because as far as he was concerned he was 100% human until now.
#it doesnt have to be lester/danny but i think its especially funny#because i subscribe to the danny is adopted son of clockwork aka the crooked one aka kronos#but neither of those things have to be true or one can be true and the other one isnt#its just funny to me like picture this#apollo/lester is helped through his mental breakdown by his loving bf. he pauses in the middle of the mental breakdown#to look at said loving bf like this 😐 for 20 seconds straight and then immediately goes 😬#his loving bf is the son of The Worst Guy Ever and they have a good relationship#and lester/apollo unfortunately still likes him#real talk i think danny and apollo would get along even better after tho because they would understand eachother more#like theyre different but Lester thought he was 100% mortal for years and now he finds out he isn't and in canon a couple of months impacted#him greatly so imagine YEARS#like hes not a demigod but he doesnt feel like a god anymore hes fundamentally changed.#even worse if lester feels like apollos memories were shoved in his head and less of him awakening as a god (prob wouldnt happen this way)#(but the angst potential pleases me)#like sorry danny can say hes half human and half ghost but i think hes just fully something else#and maybe not physically but in his soul apollo/lester is also now something else TM on like. an emotional level#anyway picture apollo walking into olympus 6 years later like hey...how yall doing...#idk how hed get his divinity back thats for yall to dream up#danny phantom crossover#dp × pjo#danny phantom#pjo crossover#<- crossover tags so i dont bug ppl that have these blocked lol
