Drawing splatoon after ages

I’ve seen a little back and forth about Samus’s apparent tendency to wear heavy eye makeup even when in the field and have some thoughts.

For one; idk man, maybe she just likes the way it looks? We could get into Deep Character Analysis about her probably-complicated relationship with how human culture conceptualizes gender and presentation but I think it probably just boils down to “she likes the way it looks.” And I think that’s great!

As an added bonus, she can wear makeup under the helmet, it’s not like it’s going to get messed up by the environment, or by her touching her face. I’d honestly probably wear makeup more often too if I didn’t have to worry about fixing it.

For two, and this is something that dawned on me earlier today; considering all anyone sees of her is just that tiny strip of her face, heavy eye makeup is basically halfway to war-paint.

Seriously, think about it. Imagine you’re some GF Marine mook hanging around on duty and Samus Aran, legendary bounty hunter (of mostly ambiguous gender and species), shows up at your base. Most people only ever see them from afar, and from a distance that visor looks like it’s opaque green.

But then they pass you by in the hall and look your way, and the light hits just the right angle through that visor and you see

Intense pale eyes outlined in stark black.

That’d probably make you jump, wouldn’t it? (One would hate to be on the receiving end of an even more focused or angry version of that look, wouldn’t they?)

I can vouch that this could be startling too. Recently I was hanging out at home before a recital done up in makeup and costume, and managed to spook my partner of 10 years by simply by making eye contact. I don’t wear makeup basically ever, so he was caught off-guard by the contrast and how intense it made me look, to the point it actually made him jump.

So yeah. Our girl probably just likes the way she looks with some extra definition, but maybe there’s a hint of a cheeky scare-tactic in there too.

Amen to that little dude

"adults trying to stay "hip" and keep up with youth culture and being years late is so cringey"

adult secret: its all intentional. nothing will prepare you for how fun it is to watch a teenagers face as you dab at them. i will floss when they least expect it and I will love every second of their horror.

Kipo season 2 episode 1

don’t you @ me these are facts

My new headcanon is that when Leo first made it to the Clover Burrow with Kipo, they asked him why Kipo was purple and he was like "what do you mean? There's a lot of purple people where I come from? Do you not have purple humans here?"

And everyone was like sure, why not.

Out of all the cool stuff that mythbusters ever shot on high speed camera, shooting a soccer ball at 60mph out of a truck traveling 60mph is one of my favorites

Just look at it. It is the most perfect visual representation of Newton’s 2nd law of physics I’ve ever seen. The ball, which was shot out of a CANNON, drops straight down. Two equal and opposite velocities completely canceling each other out, leaving the soccer ball to drop to the earth with a net velocity of 0. Sir issac newton would be proud to tears of this gif.

And yet this “myth” is nothing more than basic physics at work. A 10 year old with an interest in science could have told us this is possible. 60mph in one direction minus 60mph the exact opposite direction is 0. Basic.

But what makes this so frieken cool is the fact that they went through all the trouble to actually demonstrate the invisible laws that govern the way our universe works. To get this shot both the soccer ball and the truck had to be moving at the exact same speed. Real world variables make that extremely difficult to pull off. It took them hundreds of attempts to get it right. They went through all that trouble to “prove” something we have known as fact for hundreds of years. And we get this amazing gif to watch as a result.

Mythbusters is incredible. Science is incredible. And the fact that this experiment in physics can be used in science classes for years and years to come to help children learn about physics is incredible.
