TBH, decades before I realised I was nonbinary, I listened to the high-pitched voice of Prof. Calculus in the animated series and decided "That's a woman". Pronouns, facial hair etc., did not matter to me: my tiny self looked at the vast gaping void of positive female representation within Herge's world and decided Calculus was the one who filled it.
Just thought you might find that interesting
we love a woman in STEM

As a Chinese person from Hong Kong I'm going to officially say this absolutely blows my mind. Here's why.
In the video, Charles and Carlos were plainly copying calligraphy stroke-by-stroke from a large image in front of them. What makes Carlos' attempt so impressive is that he's effectively gotten nearly all the proportions, starting and ending brush pressures and tail-offs, and the structure right. It's not perfect. But it's damn well near perfect.
Compare it to Charles': Charles didn't do a bad job at all, and has successfully copied many of the requisite features, but he has seen each stroke as a line, as many people who write Chinese characters with ballpoint pens do nowadays - point A to point B, with natural loss of shape and flow in between. It's not necessarily a problem. Charles is writing the characters. But interestingly, Carlos isn't writing at all.
On rewinding the video you see why Carlos' was shaped so perfectly. He doesn't know Chinese. He doesn't know anything about stroke order, or speed. But he knows detail.
If you look at his hands as he writes he separated each stroke into a shape. Then he did his level best to recreate each shape as carefully as he could by pressing the brush until he could see it formed the right thickness of the line.
He didn't write, like Charles did. He painted.
If this is how good Carlos is at copying a language he does not know I wonder how amazing he would be at painting if he actually spent time to learn.

My Kagura style study. (on the left) And manga chapter cover for 374 on the right. It's a study rendering a stylized design in a realistic way.
I got lost in some of the colors but it was a fun challenge.

Honestly a big reason for why I don’t get over shit as quickly as I can is because I can’t fucking stop talking about it. And by that I mean I’ll quietly resolve w myself that I’m over something or something, and then in my typical indecisive nature I’ll either ruminate on it hours later or vent about it w a friend. I hadn’t realized how powerful just TALKING about something bothering you was until now. Even if you’re close to getting over something, just verbalizing that it bothers you can bring you 3 steps back. Yeah processing emotions is important, but the moment that’s done I need to actually be firm w myself about moving on. Like it’s done. We’re over it. We’re not gonna waver when someone asks us how we’re dealing w it. We will not complain about it unnecessarily. We simply keep it pushing

Maybe I’m weird, but Apollo as Lester reminds me of a hairless cat in a blue jumper. A hairless cat that hates the blue jumper and walks around stiffly, with those dull, angry cat eyes.

[ID: three drawings of edgar from electric dreams in different styles on a dark red polka dot background. in the first, he is drawn as a red humanoid robot from the chest up with a computer monitor head, devil horns, and a pointy tail. he's wearing an off-white shirt with a light brown sweater vest, and he has one hand behind his head, grinning sheepishly. in the second, he is drawn as a regular computer with thin scribbly lines. the screen is displaying his face with a cartoony smile. in the third, he is drawn in a blocky, lineless style, as a red computer with devil horns and a tail, with his screen displaying a mischievous smiley face. end ID]
sketchy style experimenting with edgar <3

A totally real and not at all faked image of Twitchery on the actual moon from real life, which is not fake.
