HE GOT OUT GUYS NO WAY (this is a definitely real ava 11 screenshot)

[barksbog]

a constant joke between me an my mom is to point at leon and exclaim "watch out he got his ears back! he's dangerous!"

based on that time we just walked by this older lady and leon, as always, stared at her and cried. she went "oh god that's a dangerous one" in full earnesty. so i gave my usual "he just really loves people wants to say hello" explanation just for her to reply with "BUT HE GOT HIS EARS BACK!"

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

i can not imagine being proud of a set up like this. and yet it is Depressingly common. You have three Incredibly expensive fish that also happen to be extraordinarily aggressive in a tank that's on the small side for one of them. with an additional aggressive predator that's half the size of them and so likely to get mauled. and at least one ray that will outgrow that tank quickly.

and then on top of it all you have no substrate layer, and thus no where for the microbiome to set up and keep the tank stable following water changes, no enrichment, no line of sight breaks nowhere for any one of your incredibly aggressive fish to hide from eachother.

This is a tank that only looks stable because all the fish inside it are too stressed to risk attacking each other. but the Moment one of them starts showing weakness from the cortisol poisoning happening here the others will turn on them and the tank will collapse.

these are animals. They're not just decorations. If you want that aesthetic ™ just spend the money this nightmare cost you on a resin mount.

@keferon OKAY BUT LISTEN YEAH I would loved if it was just fun ehehehe and sassy flirting with the demon no one sees pfffht, literally summoned a demon just to flirt with, and I guess it could have been going for a long time, just little strips with their funny adventures and then plot can go to the fact that he wants to give him a body and Shockwave would agree or that they just stay the way they are and just hang out like this together (Alo I remember that you wanted to put Ratchet (I keep writing Ratched instead of Ratchet buuuh) and Drift in it as another demon and their summoner thing whghweghgwe but I like how you made two separate stories for them that happen at the same time, okay I am actually PRETTY MUCH invested in this story, I like a lot how it goes and gets tangled and how mixes up with idw ideas and other stuff a lot)

BUT NOW that you changed it that way, you made a few more things that reader might be interested a lot in, like that promise he made and you mentioning that he will regret it, how their relationship progressively develops, plus the fact that Blurr was a frivolous slob gifted with dark magic AND how the tables turn upside dow and he get consequences for what he did in the most unpredictable way for him and how he surely changes in his behaviour, getting more and more concerned about his promise and maybe truly loving someone for the first time in his life and wanting to change something. And then figuring out that that same demon actually was a person before, someone he knew, someone respectable, kind, shiny, absolut sun of a person, who died (I am still on my knees waiting to know how exactly he died...) miserably to the point that he absolutely can't stand his life as a demon and NOT EVEN being able to kill himself!!! And Blurr was a pupil in his school, he saw him, he gifted him an ability to make his magic work for him, gave the freedom to live among everyone to all who was poisoned with this dark magic. OH WAITA HGSDHAG the thing that beastformers can't walk among transformers and the fact that dark spellers also could not, and how these events happen at a close times, OKAY so dark spellers got their kind of freedom thanks to Senator Shockwave (OH MY GOD what if Orion can see Shockwave and will recognise him right away COUGH) BUT I am wondering if beastformers will get some kind of an official declaration or some kind of school to be educated in and I wonder if Deadlock/Drift (I think after leaving he will change his name from the last episode...) will volunteer to be a teacher t be something more, or he will just end up with Ratchet wandering around the world, or maybe there will be a whole damn revolution where all monoformers and beastformers leaded by Drift go against the system, and maybe these events happen at the same time as a Senator Shockwave fighting for the rights of gifted... Okay I'm getting carried a little bit ahsghag excuse me... OH I GOT carried away A LOT I wanted to get back to the point that Blurr, now figuring out the past of Shocwave, dealing with all the events, dealing with what he has done and find a way to free them, at the same time STILL having adventures and fun since I'm sure he can be a good mood lifter to moody Shockwave and even see him in a really good mood since he is... well, not just a demon made of hatred but the wonderful kind of person in his previous life... (okay being carried away but what if Orion might declare the freedom to beastformers (AJHGAJHSDJAH OH MY GOD I IMAGINED JAZZ AS A PANDA HAVING A ROMAN WITH PROWL AND PROWL NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT OKAY SORRY) after seeing what it lead to after Senator Shockwave. And maybe Ratchet will be able to get his sign back freely after revolution will be successful or he will be forever blind just to be free and safe with his husband OKAY LISTEN I think it is obvious that I really like the thing you do....

happy bisexual day to those who celebrate

I just re-watched Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 and it made me remember how directly after I watched it for the first time in the theater I thought to myself. "I just want to see him happy." And since then I've been reading Rocket x reader fanfiction like the morning paper and crafting fanart.

[kaurwreck]

my friend is adapting a book into a graphic novel, and so I was venting about how frustrating trying to read the beast and 15 manga has been. for me, the stylized art, while attractive at a glance, only shallowly engages in storytelling. instead, the artist seems far more preoccupied with (i) the aesthetic of individual panels and (ii) obscuring/hand-waving/distracting from the wonky perspectives, poorly designed panels, lack of movement/dynamism, and other technical inadequacies. if it was just a matter of the artist's skill falling short of their intention, that would be fine; but my impression is that there isn't any intention to work within the medium or engage in storytelling, and it deeply frustrates me because bsd's other adaptations have spoiled me by using the limitations and strengths of their mediums to expound on the story. by contrast, the 15 and beast manga struggle to tell any narrative, much less elaborate on the original.

but! I'm not an artist, and although I read a ton of comic books and manga, that doesn't mean I understand their technical components. hoshikawa's adaptations are also so lauded in the fandom, i also started to wonder if I wasn't just like projecting flaws onto it that didn't exist for no other reason than to be contrarian.

so i explained all of this and gave my friend my copy of the first volume of 15 to get their perspective. and after they flipped through a few pages, they were like the art seems technically fine to me. so I was like okay great I'm just being bitter then. and then they tried to actually read the panels, froze, and said, "oh." to which I was like, "the panels don't make sense when read together, right?" and they replied, "i don't think you can even call this sequential art."

which is to say, I've been vindicated, and what I lack in social grace, I have in metacognition and storytelling craft.

Hi! Marine biology is an interest of mine and finding your blog was like a goldmine to me. Unfortunately my city doesn't offer a program for it and learning myself always feels overwhelming past the basic fun facts stuff. Are there any websites, video series, or books you'd recommend? Something that introduces more technical terms/concepts would be great, but I'm really open to anything :)

Sorry if you've been asked this or if you don't really have an answer :,D

I have answered similar asks before, here is one and here is another! But things more on the web, hmm... I'm afraid I don't know exact places to go looking for technical terms, sorry to say. My recommendations will definitely have to do more with things on the funnier side. For one, I definitely recommend checking out @montereybayaquarium here on Tumblr, they have fun and educational content! And my buddy @bethanythebogwitch has a Wet Beast Wednesday -series where she goes more in depth about a specific aquatic animal each Wednesday, I always reblog them because they're so good but there's a whole collection if you haven't seen! Also shoutout to Hakai magazine that has many articles about conservation, environmentalism and other cool news related to the oceans, it was recommended by my other buddy @eros-vigilante!

That's about it, I sadly rarely remember to note down the things I'm watching ^^'' The only YouTuber whose name I can recall is Ze Frank, because his username is so different and his videos really stick with you. He has a "true facts" series! And I did also find the coastal seas episode of Our Planet on YouTube too, so that's a fun place to go to, too.

Hope this helps! I'm glad that marine biology is of great interest to you! :3
