i'm gonna go on a bit of a rant okay bare with me

i literally love cheesy hfj so much. he manages to put out so much emotion through his music, even without lyrics. it's just so impressive idk . i really like donor live and the microscope pt 2. you can just picture the pure, raw emotion put into it and i love it so much. his music always manages to calm me down whenever i'm struggling with sorrow or guilt.. i really hope he hosts some sort of concert i would spend so much money on that. i'm trying to be his #1 listener so he can recognize me because he's literally so awesome?? and ONE is literally so creative and well made i can't even begin to explain it. it's such an interesting concept and even though the cliffhanger upset me it was just pulled off so well. long story short, i'm literally cheesy hfj's number ONE fan!!!

The Microscope

Maxine Kumin

Anton Leeuwenhoek was Dutch.

He sold pincushions, cloth, and such.

The waiting townsfolk fumed and fussed

As Anton's dry goods gathered dust.

He worked, instead of tending store,

At grinding special lenses for

A microscope. Some of the things

He looked at were:

mosquitoes' wings,

the hairs of sheep, the legs of lice,

the skin of people, dogs, and mice;

ox eyes, spiders' spinning gear,

fishes' scales, a little smear

of his own blood,

and best of all,

the unknown, busy, very small

bugs that swim and bump and hop

inside a simple water drop.

Impossible! Most Dutchmen said.

This Anton's crazy in the head.

We ought to ship him off to Spain.

He says he's seen a housefly's brain.

He says the water that we drink

Is full of bugs. He's mad, we think!

They called him dumkopf, which means dope.

That's how we got the microscope.

these two are so interesting to me

characters belong to @canisalbus

#clenches fists. im so sosososo normal about them. i think about them a normal amount (lying) #actually the 2nd image is based on some sort of anime couple pose template(?????) that i saw a while back and wanted to draw them in it #but i swear to god i CANNOT FUCKING FIND IT. i was literally knee deep in yuri and yaoi fanart for hours trying to find that god damn photo #but i dont even know who the characters were and pinterest just shows me bakugou and deku making out sloppy style whenever i try #so i gave up an tried drawing it from memory and cried the whole time. i hate anatomy.. but they look so happy so its fine #god whenever i see Lore or sweet little tidbits for these two i want to tear into something with my teeth and throw something /pos #i genuinely want to study these gay little renaissance dogs under a microscope #what fucks me up is the fact that we all know it ends horribly but u cant help loving them anyway.. they are so. incoherent hand gestures #my art #myart #others ocs #vasco #machete #vaschete #furry art #fur #anthro

Sand Under a Microscope.

There are roughly 8,000,000,000 grains of sand per cubic meter of beach, and roughly 700,000,000,000 cubic meters of beach on Earth. That's 5 sextillion grains of sand. An incomprehensible number, and yet every sand grain is microscopically unique. Like a snowflake, no two are the same.

found this abandoned quilt top while cleaning and had to finish it up finally. screen printed and sewn last semester and finally quilted and bound yesterday. using holographic foils to emulate the glassy appearance of diatoms under the microscope, i sewed a log cabin pattern as a playful nod to the idea that diatoms live in tiny glass houses.

Pow you messed with the Wreckers. Or something haha

Listen I don’t have a type. BUT SOMEHOW every time I find and add a character to my favorites, he turns out to be a wrecker. My best theory - I have a built-in wrecker radar~

#like #seriously #oh this anime samurai is funny and cool #i wonder what is his backstor….ah #he was a Wrecker cool #hmm blue sassy speedster celebrity? #Wait…why is he playing Go with anime samurai?? are they suddenly roommates or…ah he is also Wrecker wow #didn’t expect that #well at least they are both really fast agile and stuff #makes sense #okay let’s see #ooh funny autistic scientist microscope #I wonder what was he doing before mtmte. He must be…. a h #u n d e r s t o o d #ahahahahha #transformers #maccadam #mtmte #blurr #perceptor #drift #funny story. Drift Blurr and Perceptor…like…didn’t interact with each other during mtmte…..at all. #so when I went reading about wreckers after reading mtmte #it was really big surprise aahahahah #Drift and Blurr playing Go while Percy chilling in a giant fucking jar in a next room #me: what kind of crossover is this??? #also #I love mtmte with all my heart but oh my god it didn’t show me Drift-Percy duo at all #they had such an epic friendship #tapa if you are reading this - it’s happening in All Hail Megatron hehe

I'm aro and autistic which means that I will talk about romance as a very strange and confusing social and psychological phenomenon, and ask allo ppl questions like I'm in a field research, in a normal conversation.

#aro #aromantic #i put romance under a microscope and i'm suprised and confused and disgusted and intrigued
