Frozen in Time: A 30-Million-Year-Old Marvel!

This 'praying' mantis is perfectly preserved within a flawless piece of Dominican amber from the Oligocene period—dating back an astonishing 23 to 33.9 million years.

The amber itself derives from the extinct Hymenaea protera, a prehistoric leguminous tree. Most amber found in Central and South America comes from its resin.

Amber from the Dominican Republic is known as Dominican resin, which is noted for its clarity.

Locked in nature's time capsule, every delicate detail from its slender legs to its fragile antennae remains intact, as if it were paused mid-movement all those millions of years ago.

Discovered in the Dominican Republic and auctioned by Heritage Auctions.

Th is particular bizarre temporal experience of humanity gets speed run when you’re many years distance away from your younger siblings.

This happened to me with my youngest siblings: 14 and 16 years younger than me.

And then our brother (10/12 years older than them) had a kid, and now HE is 15 and they are having the heebie age jeebies in their late teens/early twenties.

You were born five minutes ago: what do you mean you have a driver’s permit?

the worst part of "you'll understand when you're older" is that you really do understand when you're older

This was what coming back to Tumblr felt like after a two year hiatus! I'm so grateful and lucky for all the friendly, warm replies! It was an immediate reminder of why I joined the MLP Ask Blog community in the first place!

There were a lot of ponies and people who reached out, but I featured the first six who pounced on me immediately after I posted a pic XD Individual ponies and references below the cut <3

Nostalgia is continually aroused and teased; you miss clips the moment they’re gone, and cling to the aural afterglow of what has passed even as you focus on what is coming, what keeps coming.

In another rare W from me, Phineas and Ferb used to be a 90's show.

It is much better here.

13th Hour

This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time. Most of my paintings take 1-3 recording sessions but this one took 10 ahahaha

The character is Dante, a painter from my work in progress novel about artists titled 1000 Words Unframed. He's an eccentric one and likes to paint trompe l'oeil, aka illusions. Here he's painting a bunch of clocks onto his wall, but none of the clocks are accurate, some having 13 hours, one clock is a spiral, another is made of eyeballs lol. He is also a lover of cats, hence all the cat portraits and kitties hanging out. Here are some close ups of all the details!

Here's a timelapse of how I painted it. The bottles and table in the foreground started as 3D models in SketchUp. The rest is painted in Paint Tool SAI. The full HD image, 10 art videos, and PSD file will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on April 5th.

We're not all on the same schedule, and there's no rush to "catch up" to any societally-determined timeline. We're growing at our own pace. 🥕
