#the dream and the blob are one

[dwtpsychward]

what if the rebrand is him turning his blob into a vtuber avatar

i would genuinely cry at seeing the blob in the corner and seeing him move around

“1950s horror movies contrast radically with their 1940s predecessors. understandably – they were reflecting a whole new world. audiences wanted stories that connected directly to their lives, to the ever-expanding technology in their homes and workplaces. they also wanted horror movies that played to their fears – stoked by politicians – of the shadows that lay beyond their immediate, personal experience of the shiny american dream (applies to some of these movies).”

damnnn I hate it when tumblr doesn’t show me posts from my mutuals and I have to scour through their blogs to see what I missed. How barbaric. Especially hate it when I can tell my own posts aren’t being shown. Listen when I post I want EVERYONE to see it. Like look at this

It’s zasp as a larva 🥰🥰🥰ignore the fact that he is Actively Being Eaten

YESSS FLUSTERED NICO!!

and jo is funny when he’s comfy around someone (like that one maki clip being like ‘stop making me fall for you jojo!’, you rn LOL). So I think once he’s comfy with you, he’d be confused as to why being a dom is so surprising? (“I just said fork?” Vibe)

yep exactly what I meant with juju!

okok last thing about &team so everyone can breath again hehehe

When Nicho gets jealous, i feel like 6/10 he handles it maturely. But 4/10 he takes it out on you (in a good way(?)). That is all. (Dude maki would catch on and tease the FUCK out of him though LOL). I also feel like Jo snapping would be heavenly. OKOK THATS ALL

flustered nico when he’s all smiley and blushy 😮‍💨 someone hold me pls

no bc when i saw that live i literally said “he’s just like me” 😭i fall for jo more and more everyday it’s BAD. i feel like jo would have a nonchalant demeanor like “hmm? you weren’t expecting this?”

also lemme say…body worshipper jo -bites fist- oh my goodness boy would take his TIME and go over every inch of your body meanwhile you’re shaking like a leaf while he appears unbothered

i think nico is a brat and a brat punisher all in one. someone looks at you for too long? he’ll have you screaming his name while he overstimulates you. because his jealousy = your overstimulation 🙂‍↕️ fair trade in his mind

[rat-rosemary]

Sometimes when I'm really really bored I'll look who likes my qwt art, because it's always around 20 people and I can recognize about 6-8 of you just by name, and the rest may vary a bit

Lemme tell you, every time there's a Q fan it's like someone injected me with a shot of pure fear

[wild-at-mind]

I think the worst kind of intra-left arguing is 'look how the people who aren't quite like me don't care about x!' and the evidence given is all about posting on social media. (Lack of it/amount of it, subject matter of it etc.)

what in the world even lead up uo Dream becoming a priest for the egg????

"There are many cruelty in this world. The Egg and my vision happens to align hence I offered my servitude in hope that one day our wish may...no...will come true... The Egg provides all."

[bueris]

look I'd give it to them straight but I don't think they'll accept "sorry, I am a silly dyke and forgot" as a reason anymore

Hey. What is your favorite de Blob character?

( sorry for the wait!)

——

I think I’ve said this before but Pinky is probably my favorite (with Arty being a very close second)! I just enjoy her personality and how spunky she is compared to everyone else. She compliments Blob very well in terms of their personalities; Blob being the more chaotic good of the two and Pinky being the one to smack him with a rolled up newspaper if he gets too overzealous and rowdy, but she can also be silly with him. They’re so,,, sibling energy and I believe I talked about this in the Pinky headcanons post (which I might go more into depth on)

She’s also pink which is one of my favorite colors, which helps yknow

Dreamed about The Horror seeping into reality bc someone broke its seal, but actually it was rly sad about it bc it did not want to destroy reality. So while there's this whole epic battle ensuing between the people trying to release The Horror and the people trying to seal it away again, The Horror is just kinda hanging out in some girl's bathtub and falling hopelessly in love with her as she is the most oblivious person Ever to both the nature of The Horror and its feelings

How do you take a photo of time?

I've been watching the track events at the Olympics since I was a wee lad. It was a tradition in our family. We'd gather around our ancient low-definition 19 inch CRT television and watch tiny blobs compete against other tiny blobs and root for our country.

It was a bit like watching YouTube on your phone in 144p.

Several heroes emerged.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee was amazing.

You can't forget about Flo-Jo.

And then the Olympics decided NBA players were allowed in the competition.

Which formed... The Dream Team.

Was this fair?

Well... they won each game by an average of 44 points.

So... no. It was not fair.

Though it became more fair as time went on.

But, umm... yeah. The other teams looked like the Washington Generals and the US looked like the Harlem Globetrotters if they stopped screwing around half of the game.

But my absolute favorite Olympian was a runner named Michael Johnson.

He was cool as heck.

For one thing... gold shoes.

But he also had this crazy, upright, Tom Cruise-ish sprinting style that just made him look like a running robot on the track.

And in the 1996 Atlanta games he just trounced EVERYONE. I mean, it wasn't even close.

Yikes. Those losing blobs are probably really embarrassed.

Last night I decided to invigorate my nostalgia and watch the track events again. And I got to see one of the wildest races in history.

It didn't even last 10 seconds but it was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed. Almost every runner won the race.

After I saw that initially, I was like... who the heck won???

Even in slow motion I wasn't sure.

This was one of the closest finishes in history. There has never been a race where all 8 runners were within this margin.

The arena was silent as the winner was being confirmed. The runners just kind of paced around waiting for official word. My best guess was the Jamaican runner, Kishane Thompson. But then the loudspeaker announced Noah Lyles.

The last tiny morsel of American pride burst out of me with a big "Wooooo!"

I forgot what it was like to be proud of my country. I wish it happened more often. But this young man, despite being last place in the first 3rd of the race, turned on the afterburners and won in a photo finish.

And that's when my inner nerd took over.

Because when they showed the photo finish image, it looked super weird.

Why is the track white?

Why do all of the runners look all warpy like that QWOP game?

So I went down a research rabbit hole to figure this out.

Photo finishes are actually fascinating. The first photo finish captured the end of a horse race in 1890. But that was mostly luck and timing. The actual photo finish mechanisms weren't used until 1937.

Originally they would film the finish line through a physical slit.

And the first horsie head that appeared in that slit would be the winner. This technology ended a huge aspect of corruption in horse race fixing almost overnight.

But we have come a long way since then. And I'd like to introduce you to the Omega Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate.

This slow motion camera sits fixed on the finish line of every race. The concept of the photo finish has remained remarkably similar to the 1930s approach. The camera sensor is specially designed to only record a vertical slit.

Only the finish line itself is actually captured.

And because it limits what it records to only that slit, it can capture 40,000 frames per second to get amazing temporal resolution.

So why don't the photo finishes just look like, well... this?

That is because the camera takes a picture of time more-so than dimensional space. I guess it would be more accurate to say it *assembles* a picture of time.

As the runners cross the finish line, the camera combines all of the little strips of pictures into a single image.

It's almost like if you tried to reassemble a piece of paper after it had been shredded.

Imagine each strip of paper is a picture of ONLY the finish line, just at a slightly different point in time.

What if someone stopped on the finish line and didn't move... what would that look like?

Once they got there, the same part of their body would just be repeated.

So the right side of the photo finish picture represents earlier in time and it just assembles the image strip by strip as time passes and you literally get a picture of time itself.

NEAT!

Okay, but how do they determine the winner from the photo finish?

I mean, that shoe looks like it is ahead of Noah Lyles!

Clavicles!

The IAFF rules state the foremost part of the torso must cross the finish line first. And the endpoint of the torso is the outer end of the clavicle.

So if you get this bone across the finish line first, you win the race.

Two more fun facts!

The start of the race is actually just as carefully timed as the end of the race. There are sensors in the starting blocks of each runner.

The starting gun also has an electronic sensor.

They have determined the fastest a human can react to the sound of a gun is roughly 100 milliseconds. So if you start running before 100 milliseconds they know you didn't actually hear the gun, you just got antsy and started running too early.

And the final fun fact...

Did you notice the Omega logo at the top of the photo finish?

That isn't superimposed or added after the fact. That is captured by the camera.

But if this image is composed only of tiny little slivers, how did they get the Omega logo to show up?

That is a little display. And it is synchronized with the Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate to show a little sliver of the Omega logo for each frame captured.

So when the final image is stitched together, it looks like a cohesive logo at the top of the photo.

Pretty clever, Omega!
