one of my favorite things is an airplane from the front. lookit this doofus

i didn’t get to see the doofus as soon as i wanted to however. our flight to NYC was delayed the length of a schoolday because of some sweet sweet thunderstorming (that in the end got all our baggage wet). it was all very confusing for a very long time... but we finally boarded and got all our clothes dry after arriving which is great :]. i spent the time expanding on some crazy awesome oc lore i feel happy thinking about. yeah. nuts!!

flight pictures….yeasm….. the clouds….

i was separate from my family bc of a seating issue but it turned out ok. some kind people let me sit by them, and i got a window seat so my photo gallery was bombarded by pictures of clouds ^_^. i even got to see a (very faint) glory under our dinky skycraft!! also ended up taking a nap but i woke up in time to see the sunset.

we arrived later than anticipated but ah well. nothing a fruit bar and some burning hot vanilla steamer can’t fix (my tongue was sensitive and hurting for a full day after finishing that drink. not the best move. im ok now). such an eepy day…

This is a pseudo-hologram obtained using the so-called Pepper's ghost technique.

“Pepper’s Ghost” is a simple optical effect that has been in use since the late 1800s and you can even try it yourself at home.

—

Pepper's Ghost is an optical illusion technique used in theater and visual effects to create ghostly apparitions.

It involves reflecting an image of a person or object off a transparent surface, such as glass or acrylic, to make it appear as if it's in the same space as live performers or real objects.

This illusion is achieved through careful lighting and positioning of the reflective surface, creating a seamless integration of the reflected image with the physical environment.

SO!! LEGION. first of all. love legion w/ all of my heart. love geth design. when i replayed mass effect 2/3 recently I used the 'legion the white' (lol) mod, and i thought it was MUCH more striking than the standard design. shepards n7 chestplate and shoulder plate is waay more visible and i really liked the contrast. legion is in pretty intense/dark lighting for most of the scenes he's in and i think the classic white geth plating is really nice :^)

Made a post recently about sephiroths hair being weird (because it absolutely is, don't deny me) and I compared it to polar bears offhandedly. But the idea stuck so I did some research.

So basically polar bears aren't actually white, their hair is actually hollow and transparent! This captures and reflects enormous amounts of light, turning them white and allowing them to blend in with the blinding snow. Their actual skin is black. You can see this a little when human hair goes white, their follicles stop producing melanin and the colour runs out like printer ink. Unlike polar bear fur, it can get kinda limp without the extra substance.

But the important thing about polar bear fur is that their hair is intended to be hollow to reflect, and thus it's a bit more refined. This allows them at their shiniest, freshly grown in new fur, to take on an almost luminescent sheen just like the snow they hide in.

The important thing about this is that that is also exactly how fibre optics work.

Conclusion: if someone presses even a faint a coloured light to sephiroths head, his whole mass of hair will start glowing evenly the entire way down.

Secondary conclusion: sephiroth puts on a crown of coloured glow sticks and his hair turns into a rainbow trail.

British tattoo artist Daniel Gulliver is known for his mind-bending optical illusion tattoos that make it look like words or symbols are pressed right into the skin. His signature “debossed” effect is so realistic you’d swear it’s actually 3D—but it’s all just clever shading and skilled tattoo work.
