Where the Justice League (mostly focusing on the Superfam or Batfam or Flashfam) are large leviathan-esque creatures living on Planet 4546B. Maybe they can change forms due to Precursor experimentation, maybe not.
Those with young hang out around the shallows more than the others, what with most of them being large super or specialized predators.
Enter Danny Fenton, interning on the Aurora when the ship is shot down by the Quarantine Enforcement Platform.
Oh sure he probably would have tried to stop the destruction and help, but his ghost powers are a bit on the fritz and a well-meaning worker pushes him into one of the last life pods seeing as he's a child.
Now the leviathans may not know what a ship is exactly, but they can definitely understand that in most cases things technology = precursors. As far as they understand, a metal deathtrap not unlike the old labs or caches fell alongside several metallic eggs, with the emerging hatchlings misshapen and not living long.
But then there's the egg that landed in the shallows, which at first they thought was empty. But a hatchling- much smaller than the previous ones- emerges, a day later than the rest, but they're alive even if their swimming is all wobbly!
It's so tiny, and obviously hatched too early with the strange split tail and how it keeps swimming to the surface for air, and they have to protect it!
Now if only the little hatchling would answer their calls and not dart into hiding spots whenever they approach...
Honestly this is up to the writer lol, but I like to think that Danny's ghost form, when he finally manages to achieve it again, goes a little naga-esque. Almost like a sea snake instead of just a whispy ghost tail, which while better for swimming doesn't help his freak out over most ghost powers still not working.
Danny is just trying to survive man, maybe find other survivors, turn off this big alien gun, stop creating frost crystals when he sneezes, the usual. He doesn't need giant humanoid-esque leviathan-sized sea creatures poking around!
the match up is lethal, folks. a battle of the two reigning kings; who will be crowned Ultimate Fallout Sexyman? which fictional heartthrob will emerge victorious? the power is in your hands.
An island you can truly get lost in, but make sure you leave before it gets dark…
Lost pines is my adventurecore / National park themed island, things are ran around here by Park Ranger Wren. Lost pines is saved at golden hour and has some beautiful landscaping and scenery, some spots have been inspired by real life places such as Crater Lake and Trophy Mountain. All is not as it seems though, and something sketchy is going on with that ranger….
Two proud, fierce, spiky-haired warriors face each other across a rocky chasm… but why do they both feel so strangely familiar to the other?! A battle for honour is surely about to begin!
Through Dragonball, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, Akira Toriyama had a massive influence on my childhood. I think it’s also pretty fair to say that Pokemon, and especially Lance, would not be the same without his stylistic influence on Ken Sugimori’s early work. So, for all the thrills and inspiration, both to myself and many others, thank you so much Toriyama-san, and rest in peace.
I had so much fun designing a Toriyama-style DBZ design for Lance, putting in a bit of flavour from both his Gen 1 red biker and Gen 2 pointed armour looks. The dramatic cape flourish also pulls a bit from his HGSS art pose, just for fun (and flair)
I learnt a lot picking apart and studying different Dragonball panels and colour spreads to make this crossover tribute, but perhaps the most striking thing was re-reading chunks of DBZ and realising just how good at weekly pulp adventure story pacing Toriyama was.
I already knew he had perhaps the best grasp of dynamic, crystal clear action panelling in the business, but his ability to pace out a weekly story and always have some new twist or wrinkle while maintaining a solid, driving central narrative really stood out to me this time. And that’s not even mentioning all the ad-libbing!
One of the greatest to ever do it in so very many different ways - I am sure his work will continue to inspire not just artists in our current generation, but many young artists in the future as well.
Crater Collapses in Iceland's New Volcano Spewing Rivers of Lava
Iceland's newest volcano, located in the Reykjanes peninsula, began erupting in early July, 2023. Now it's throwing "spatter bombs'" of molten lava.
In Iceland, the world's newest "baby" volcano is throwing a temper tantrum: It's overflowing and spewing "spatter bombs," or blobs of molten lava, into the surrounding crater.
The volcano formed on July 10, when an underground eruption opened a 1.7-mile-long (2.7 kilometers) fissure in the ground of Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, southwest of the capital, Reykjavík. Leading up to this event, the region experienced a "seismic swarm," during which more than 7,000 earthquakes shook the area starting on July 4, according to a statement from the Icelandic Met Office. Lava trickled from the fracture in the ground, and seismic activity decreased for about a week after the eruption.
On July 18, however, "there was a major shift in the vent activity overnight," according to a post on the Facebook page of Rannsóknarstofa í eldfjallafræði og náttúruvá (the Laboratory of Volcanology and Natural Hazards), a research group from the University of Iceland. At around 11:30 p.m. local time, "the crater filled up to the brim with lava and the fountaining began to throw spatter bombs well beyond the crater rims." Roughly three hours later, a small opening formed, allowing lava to spill over the crater, the post added. By early morning, a section of the crater's rim had collapsed, releasing a river of lava to the north and west. The lava pouring from this crater is roughly 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 degrees Celsius), the scientists said.
"The crater became unstable and collapsed," Ingibjörg Jónsdóttir, an associate professor of geography at the University of Iceland and member of the lab, told Live Science in an email. "It had built up quite fast and it was filling up with lava on the inside, causing pressure to the walls. Not unusual as such but spectacular and of concern since there were people quite close by not long before it happened (in a closed area though)."
On the opposite side of the volcano, lava flowing south stalled and eventually crusted over, the post said. The area around the eruption site is uninhabited, and the eruption does not currently post a risk to infrastructure, according to the Icelandic Met Office. Firefighters in Grindavík, a nearby Icelandic town, have already contained the potential spread of fire from July 18's lava spill, and they no longer believe it is a threat, according to the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service.
Scientists will continue to monitor the volcano's behavior because future lava flows could ignite wildfires and reduce air quality in the region, according to the statement. Watch a livestream of the volcano on the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service's website here.
examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk
think it's crazy that cloud was convinced that he wasn't a real person sometimes,, like shinra and sephiroth fucked him up so badly that the end product was a mentally broken cloud who genuinely believed he was never real and just essentially a lab experiment like how badly you got fuck with someone mentally to get them to that point man
So I meant to post about this weeks ago! The last week of June, my brothers and I went on a 4-day road-trip across Oregon, with a quick dip into Northern California. Our three main stops were Crater Lake, the Trees of Mystery in the Redwoods National Forest, and the Evergreen Air and Space Museum in McMinnville, OR. I intended to post pics sooner, but I was too lazy to sit and figure out how to pull the pics from my tablet to my desktop. Pics of Crater Lake below the cut!
We stayed at a nearby campground on the night of the 26th so we could arrive early on Tuesday the 27th.
So Crater Lake is like six miles across and over 1,900 feet deep---which is like 600' deeper than the Great Lakes. Our family tried to visit a couple times when we were kids, but it was in the spring when the roads are too snowed in to travel (Mom has pics of us playing in the 8' snow-drifts from when I was about five-years-old). And even at the end of June the hiking trail that goes around the whole lake was still closed off due to the snow.
Ooh, even got a rainbow for the end of Pride Month on that last one and didn't even realize it! Anyway, Crater Lake was a cool experience, and I've got several more still on my tablet if anyone wants to look! I'll post a few pics from the Redwoods tomorrow!
It has been a Few days and I am trying to dig through my Tags and Things :') I believe I was tagged by @writernopal and @zestymimblo for this one, so check out their posts here and here, respectively! (Thanks for the tag, it's getting me back into character design again!)
Rules: Assign a song that fits the vibe of your OC.
I am very Particular when it comes to Vibes! In my wip Crater City, however, none of my characters are Inspired after songs. So, I had to do things a bit Backwards and find songs for them! I suppose this will showcase songs that either fit their Vibes or even a song they would Listen to...
Blair - (This song just reminds me of him!)
Elijah - (Every time I hear this Song, it makes me think of him dancing to it with Blair :’)
Frasier (This song was hard to find, but I think it fits! Gives off I-am-the-only-competent-one-here Vibes)
Rose - (she is secretly a Hipster and enjoys 2000s-2010s tunes!)
Dr. Melony - (the mad scientist we all adore)
I am lightly tagging these people to hop on in: @celebratedloser, @twilightscribbles, @cpanther, @kabannoneko, @rachaellawrites, @possibly-a-table-or-just-gay, @storieswitheli, and anyone else who feels like it! Open tag!
new vegas took environmental storytelling to the next level to make that weird, sad vibe. how is a crashed, twitching satellite projecting an eye onto an empty drive-in cinema's screen melancholy?? why do u get a distinct sense that something went wrong when you find a motorbike in the middle of repairs in a shelter under the desert cliffs? why does a radio playing old country songs beside a grave on a hilltop feel so profound?
