[angelsdean]

no but really it's funny sam thinks dean is john 2.0 when s1 dean is just. content to take on random cases and help save some people and is trying to do some good w/ the hand he's been dealt and isn't all that interested in his father's revenge quest and up until then has always had to play the mediator and swallow down his own feelings and anger. while sam's the one who quickly becomes obsessed w/ revenge the minute he loses jess and finding the thing that killed her and is quick to anger. "you're more like him than i'll ever be" "i'll take that as a compliment" "you can take that however you like" etc etc

[canisalbus]

I love the shapes you use to draw machete, or really any character!! The way you draw noses, ears, bodies, fur, it looks like of I were to reach my hand out I could actually feel it, the bumps in the skin the squish of the flesh the softness of the hair. Not to mention the colors you use are very pleasing to the eye. So lovely... keep up the phenomenal work!!!

Ah, thank you so much!

Okay now I'm really thinking about the Victorian SBURB session

I need to find reliable Victorian photos immediately, I need to make at least one Victorian child.

I have no idea how the game portion of SBURB would work in this world but I'd like to think that the machines that you make in SBURB would have a more steampunk-esque look to them.

Research team develops a more durable coating against ice

Ice-repellent coatings have been around for some time, but until now they have been very sensitive and detach quite quickly from the surfaces they are meant to protect. A research team led by Anna Maria Coclite and Gabriel Hernández Rodríguez from the Institute of Solid State Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has now succeeded in remedying this shortcoming. They have developed a highly ice-repellent coating that adheres to a wide variety of materials and is very resistant to abrasion. The team's paper is published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. The researchers achieved this progress by using a manufacturing technology called initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). This makes it possible for a strongly adhesive primer material to gradually transition into the ice-repellent compound.

Are we certain that Mihawk, with his goth open coat, tits out to the world style doesn't get the nastiest colds every time he has to spend more than half a day on a winter island?

Because he definitely does not bring a proper coat with him. Storage space on Hitsugibune is too limited to waste it with something bulky and unnecessary as a *shudder* winter coat.

All I'm saying is that Mihawk probably leaves assignments on islands with a certain cold climate suspiciously quickly and then proceeds to sneeze all over Kuraigana for the next two weeks anyway.
