First Digital Atlas of Human Fetal Brain Development Published - Technology Org

The first digital atlas showing how the human brain develops in the womb has been published by a global research team led by the University of Oxford.

A team of over 200 researchers around the world, involving multiple health and scientific institutions, led by the University of Oxford, has published in the journal Nature, the first digital atlas showing the dynamics of normative maturation of each hemisphere of the fetal brain between 14 and 31 weeks’ gestation – a critical period of human development.

The digital atlas was produced using over 2,500 3-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) brain scans that were acquired serially during pregnancy from 2,194 fetuses in the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, which is a large population-based study of healthy pregnant women living in eight diverse geographical regions of the world (including five in the Global South), whose children had satisfactory growth and neurodevelopment at 2 years of age.

The study involving the creation of the digital atlas for the brain is unique because, for the first time, an international dataset of 3D US scans, collected using standardised methods and equipment, has been analysed with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing tools to construct a map showing how the fetal brain matures as pregnancy advances.

Demonstrating remarkably similar patterns of fetal brain growth and development across diverse populations represents an important scientific advance in the field of neuroscience. The results are entirely consistent with previously reported findings, from the same INTERGROWTH-21st population, for fetal skeletal growth, newborn size and infant neurocognitive development.

The results of the digital atlas creation also highlight a vitally important public health message: a mother’s health, educational, nutritional and environmental needs must be met to ensure that her child’s body and brain develop healthily.

The findings add to the global impact of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, which has previously produced international standards for fetal growth, newborn size and the postnatal growth of preterm babies, that are being widely adopted across the world for clinical and research purposes.

Professor Ana Namburete, the first author, whose research group developed the machine learning methods, said: ‘Using AI we enhanced the visibility of brain structures in the 3D US images, and generated an average depiction of the brain at each week of pregnancy during a critical period of development.

Uniquely, our atlas captured patterns of brain growth from as early as 14 weeks’ gestation – filling a 6-week knowledge gap in our understanding of early fetal brain maturation. We also revealed significant asymmetries in brain maturation: for example, in the region associated with language development, which peaked at 20-26 weeks’ gestation and persisted thereafter without any differences between the sexes.’

Professor Stephen Kennedy, co-Principal Investigator of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, who jointly led the study, said: ‘The atlas will help scientists answer complex biological questions about the fetal origins of cognitive function in childhood, such as how language is acquired. Using the atlas in combination with the soon to be published international standards describing the complementary growth of the fetal brain will be a valuable clinical tool in specialised, referral centres when brain development appears abnormal on ultrasound.’

Professor José Villar, co-Principal Investigator of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, who jointly led the study, said: ‘This is the latest step in the systematic study of early human growth and development that confirms, using the most advanced research methodology applied to a large number of fetal brain scans, the similarities of growth and development of humans across the world when health, educational, nutritional and environmental needs are met: humans are very similar in all domains, including their brains, when conditions are adequate.’

The Quest for Quality: Tips for Identifying the Best Diagnostic Centre for Your Needs

In the pursuit of optimal healthcare, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the quality of diagnostic services. Choosing the right best diagnostic centre can significantly impact the accuracy of your diagnosis and subsequent treatment outcomes. The quest for quality begins with understanding the key factors to consider when identifying the best diagnostic centre for your needs. In this blog, we will provide you with valuable tips that can help you make an informed decision and embark on a journey towards better health.

Assess Accreditation and Certifications

Start your search by looking for diagnostic centres that are accredited and hold relevant certifications. Accreditation from reputable organizations ensures that the centre adheres to stringent quality standards and meets specific criteria for excellence. The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) is a renowned organization dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of unborn babies and their mothers through innovative research and education in fetal medicine. As a leading authority in the field, the FMF has achieved various accreditations and certifications that validate its expertise and commitment to high-quality standards. These credentials serve as a testament to the FMF's credibility and ensure that patients and healthcare professionals can trust in the accuracy and reliability of their services. By assessing the accreditations and certifications held by the FMF, individuals can have confidence in the organization's ability to provide exceptional fetal medicine care and support.

Evaluate Diagnostic Expertise

Consider the expertise and qualifications of the medical professionals and technicians working at the best diagnostic centre. Look for centres with a team of experienced radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists who possess the necessary skills and knowledge to interpret results accurately. Extensive experience and specialization in specific diagnostic areas are positive signs of a centre's competence.

Range of Diagnostic Services

Assess the range of diagnostic services offered by the centre. Look for comprehensive facilities that provide a broad spectrum of imaging techniques, laboratory tests, genetic screenings, and other relevant diagnostic procedures. Having access to multiple diagnostic modalities under one roof can streamline your healthcare journey, ensuring convenience and promptness in obtaining accurate results.

Technological Advancements

Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in diagnostic technology and seek centres that embrace innovation. State-of-the-art equipment and modern technologies not only enhance the accuracy of diagnoses but also contribute to a more comfortable and efficient patient experience. Look for centres that invest in advanced imaging technologies, laboratory automation systems, and electronic health records (EHR) for seamless data integration and accessibility.

Quality Assurance Measures

Inquire about the quality assurance measures implemented by the diagnostic centre. Reliable centres prioritise quality control, proficiency testing, and ongoing training for their staff. Ask about their participation in external quality assurance programs, such as proficiency testing schemes or inter-laboratory comparisons. Robust quality assurance processes ensure consistent and reliable diagnostic results.

Accessibility and Timeliness

Consider the location and accessibility of the best diagnostic centre, especially if you require regular visits for monitoring or follow-up tests. A conveniently located centre with flexible scheduling options can save you valuable time and reduce logistical challenges. Additionally, inquire about the average turnaround time for test results, as prompt delivery of accurate results is crucial for timely medical interventions.

Patient Experience and Reviews

Research patient reviews and testimonials to gain insights into the experiences of others who have used the diagnostic centre's services. Positive feedback regarding staff professionalism, friendly customer service, and a patient-centric approach indicates a commitment to exceptional care. Online platforms and healthcare review websites can be valuable resources for gathering patient feedback.

Conclusion

Embarking on the quest for quality in diagnostic services requires careful consideration of various factors. By assessing accreditation, expertise, range of services, technology, quality assurance measures, accessibility, and patient experiences, you can make an informed decision when choosing the best diagnostic centre for your needs. Prioritizing quality in diagnostics sets the foundation for accurate diagnoses and optimal treatment outcomes, empowering you to take control of your health and well-being.

Better Than Your 2D Men

Fandom / Pairing: Attack On Titan / Eren x f!reader

Rating: SFW / Fluff

Genre/Theme: Established relationship; non-titan au

Content warning: fluff, teasing, language, suggestive (?), they make out a little.

Summary: When you crush over your fav anime men, Eren gets jealous cause homeboy wants all the attention to himself.

Author's Note: Hello, here’s a short fluffy one-shot with my fav 2D man cause I wanted to have an ambitious crossover of my fav animes. Thank you for reading <3

~ Eren’s Birdie

Song Dedication: 3D (Alternate Ver.) by Jung Kook

“Baby… pay attention to me…”

You ignore your boyfriend's pouty voice as he lies across the bed, near your feet – instead, you focus on the laptop screen on your lap.

“How much longerrrr?” You hear him sigh and feel fingers caressing the bottom of your feet.

“You know I'm not ticklish,” you reply plainly, eyes still glued to the screen.

“Hmm, that's why…” you hear him mumble before you feel a set of teeth bite around your right foot toes.

“Eren, ew… what the fuck,” you cringe, pulling your foot away from him as you slide the laptop to your side, abruptly halting the anime you were watching to finally look at him.

Your boyfriend smiles ingeniously, proud of his accomplishment at finally getting your attention redirected towards him.

“So that’s what it takes for you to finally pay attention to what really matters,” he ponders as he crawls up to lie between your legs, tilting his head to rest his face on your right thigh.

“I was focusing on what really matters,” you roll your eyes as you grab your laptop once again to rest it on your other thigh. However, Eren’s quick to move further up till his torso is splayed over you, almost like a lizard trying to cover as much surface area of a wall it possibly can.

“Rennie, please let me finish these episodes, I haven’t had the time to watch them for like… weeks now,” you sigh as you try to move his heavy body to the side.

He doesn't budge but simply wraps his arms around your waist, tucking his hands into the gap between your body and the mattress, resting his cheek on your belly, “Okay, you can continue watching.”

You sigh in defeat as you tilt your laptop screen, pressing play and focusing your attention back on the show despite the awkward position you’re in.

It isn’t another 10 minutes into the episode before you hear your boyfriend speak again, “Sometimes I wonder if the only reason you watch this show is cause the men are attractive. There’s no way a slice-of-life person like you enjoys such violence and death.”

You don’t reply, trying your best to ignore his commentary and focusing on the fight scene.

“Oh my god, I’m right! Who is it? Do you like Gojo? Or Nanami? Or who– what are the names of other hot men in this one?” Eren chuckles in disbelief, looking up to scan your face to see if you give away anything.

“Shh, let me concentrate… it’s an important fight,” you mumble without looking at him and the scene is almost over.

“Yeah right,” he scoffs as he pauses the episode right when Choso enters the frame, “tell me, do you find this guy hot?”

“Eren, are you seriously jealous of a 2D character?” you counter, trying not to laugh at his actions.

“Well, if he’s stealing my precious time with my girl then ye–”

“We’ve literally been in bed the whole day,” you interrupt him.

“And is it so wrong to want to be closer to my girlfriend?” he gasps.

“Yes, you were lying around, scrolling on your phone… doing random shit the whole day but the minute I decided to watch JJK, you suddenly want my attention,” you roll your eyes at him.

“Don’t change the topic– who’s your fav among them?” he dodges your accusations.

A smile creeps up on your lips as you decide to indulge him, “Well, they’re all so hot, it’s hard to choose really. There’s this guy, Choso… and Geto, and Toji! Now that I think about it, all of them are equally attractive.”

“All brunettes,” he notes.

“What?” you ask, confused.

“All the men you just named have dark hair,” he states.

“Yes… so?”

“I’m basically like the real-life version of them – I have long, dark hair, a good physique, handsome face–”

“Okay, Narcissus, chill,” you snort. Eren pulls away from you to move further up till he’s hovering over you, caging your head between his arms.

“No, my point being… if you have all of this right here,” he points at himself as he smirks, “why waste your time on some stupid anime?”

“I can have both,” you grin, pressing your palms over his chest.

“One is clearly better than the other,” he dips his head down for a peck.

“I seriously can’t believe you’re jealous of a bunch of sexy 2D men,” you giggle once again.

“No, I'm not… Can your 2D men do this?” he whispers, tilting your face and burying his face into your neck. He licks your skin before sucking on it roughly, causing goosebumps to rise all over your body.

“Can they?” he asks once again as his hand glides under your t-shirt to cup one of your breasts, playing with the nipple. Eren nibs at the spot behind your ear and you let out a soft moan. “Yes?”

“No,” you huff, closing your eyes at the feeling.

“So, am I not better than your 2D men?” he whispers in your ear before biting your earlobe. His hand abandons your tit, instead travelling down to dip into the waistband of your shorts, pressing two fingers over your mound.

“Y-yes,” you sigh. He laughs at how desperate your voice comes out and you tilt your head to kiss him on the lips to end this awkward conversation.

And Eren, being the good boyfriend that he is, lets you mask your embarrassment into his embrace – delighted at being the centre of your attention once again.

~fin~

Have you seen how Kim K has a 3d statue of her brain?….. Imagine Rockstar Eddie having a 3d statue of nepo baby’s heart

this might be the sweetest idea i've ever heard.

i like to think that amongst the one percenters, who do stupid shit because they can, there's eddie munson, who also does stupid shit because he can but in a meaningful way.

he gets the opportunity to have a 3d scan and still decides to scan it of nb's heart so he can keep it with the rest of his trophies and awards.

An Unbroken 1,700-year-old Roman Egg Found in England

A three-dimensional scan of a 1,700-year-old egg discovered at a Roman site in England reveals that, eggs-traordinarily, it still has the remains of a yolk and egg white inside.

It's thought to be the only time a centuries-old chicken egg found with its insides preserved.

"We were absolutely blown away when we saw the contents in there, as we might have expected them to have leached out," Edward Biddulph, a senior project manager at the private company Oxford Archaeology, told BBC News.

The egg was one of four found several years ago during an archaeological excavation of a Roman-era site in the central English town of Aylesbury, about 20 miles (30 kilometers) east of Oxford. Three of the fragile eggs fractured as they were unearthed, releasing a "potent stench," but the fourth remained intact.

Now, the surviving egg has been scanned at the University of Kent with microscopic computed tomography (micro-CT), in which many X-ray scans are compiled digitally to make a virtual 3D model. "It produced an amazing image that indicated that the egg, apart from being intact — which is incredible enough — also retained its liquid inside, presumably deriving from the yolk, albumen etc," as well as an air bubble, Biddulph said.

Roman eggs

The eggs were found in a waterlogged pit at the Aylesbury site, which was being excavated by Oxford Archaeology ahead of a housing development. The archaeologists found evidence of habitation there dating back to the Neolithic period, and the pit dated from the third century A.D., when England was a part of the Roman Empire.

According to a statement from Oxford Archaeology, the pit was first used for malting grain and brewing ale, but it was later filled with water and became a place where passersby could throw in coins and other items as offerings to the gods for good luck.

Organic objects usually rot away when exposed to oxygen, but here many were preserved by the waterlogged soil. As well as the eggs, which seem to have been an offering of some sort, the pit contained a wooden basket, leather shoes, and wooden vessels and tools.

Although Roman-era eggshells have been found before — often in graves, where eggs were thought to be suitable offerings — this seems to be the first time a complete Roman-era egg has been found in Britain. The only other Roman-era egg to survive intact was found in the hand of a dead infant buried near the Vatican, according to The History Blog. But it contained no liquids; archaeologists think it represented rebirth after the premature death of the baby.

The Oxford Archaeology statement noted that the Romans often ascribed symbolic meanings to eggs; they were associated with the gods Mithras and Mercury and had connotations of fertility and rebirth.

The intact egg from Aylesbury was taken to the Natural History Museum in London, where experts were consulted about how to conserve it without breaking it. Senior bird curator Douglas Russell told BBC News that the museum had a collection of mummified bird eggs excavated from the catacombs of sacred animals in Egypt that might be older.

"However, this is the oldest unintentionally preserved avian egg I have ever seen," he said. "That makes it fascinating."

The egg is now back at a museum in Aylesbury, where archaeologists are trying to work out how to extract the contents without breaking the shell.

Lab Photos and Documents from Resident Evils 7 & 8

Near the end of both Resis 7 and 8, the player character gets to explore a laboratory full of significant documents and interesting photos, textured and angled such that it’s very hard to get a good screencap. So here’s a huge dump of all the relevant image assets I could find to extract from both game files (plus some rambling about everything that got recycled between them, because spot-the-reused-asset is still my favourite game right now).

Photos from Lucas' lab in Resident Evil 7

The photo of Mia with Eveline in front of the tanker can be found at the end of the Mia video tape, though it also shows up again in Lucas' other lab in the Not A Hero DLC. That DLC also throws in a few new photos of Lucas' creations.

And moving on a game...

Photos from Miranda's Lab in Resident Evil 8

(Apologies for the long post above the cut, but tumblr doesn't seem to let you tile images below a 'Read more', unfortunately.)

What’s interesting is that most do seem to be legitimate photos of the characters’ real-life face models, not just renders of their 3D game models. Whether the human models themselves posed for these or whether their likeness was simply photoshopped onto scenes composed without them I haven’t been able to find out (though the latter seems more likely to me, given that most face models don't even seem to have known what character their likeness would be used for). Either way, there’s an eerie realism to these that doesn’t occur in many other parts of the game, and it’s effective in its own uncanny way.

Since both games refer to the same research at the same lab, it's probably reasonable that some of RE8 photos are just slightly-adjusted copies of those from RE7 ‒ those two shots of Eveline in the lab most obviously. And we're probably just supposed to politely ignore how obviously Miranda's just been selectively edited into that original pic of Eveline with the scientists. *cough*

In fact, if you look closely, even that big group photo of Eveline with the research team and transport operatives has actually patched in both Mia and Eveline from that earlier photo of them standing in front of the tanker. In fact, Alan (Mia's partner in RE7) isn't even from a photo at all: that's a drawing from a piece concept art (no wonder they've got him standing at the back!) As a minor role who appeared in no photos in RE7, I assume they just didn't have any good shots of his face model available.

I'm a little suspicious even Miranda's face in the group shot has been edited in from one of her other photos, but the match isn't quite perfect enough for me to be sure.

Even that photo of the needle going into the egg and the developing foetus isn't new: you can see the same needle shot in some of the RE7 documents, and even the foetus development series gets an angled scan-over in the RE7 ending sequence.

Mind you, some of those "photos of Eveline" may actually not be Eveline herself ‒ text on them in the lab itself suggests they're photos of other members of the E-series, sacrificed during necrotoxin tests. Which makes it rather odd that the figure in the second photo is an adult man who looks nothing like Eveline, so I can only assume some wires got crossed somewhere in the dev team.

(Also odd: the suggestion that there were multiple E-series subjects, some of whom were put down for experimental purposes, even though Eveline herself is labeled E-001. But let's not pretend RE lore has ever been super-consistent at the best of times.)

RE8's "lab photos" also include a couple of shots of a man in snow gear who's apparently Spencer of Umbrella-fame, presumably for all those fans who don't feel it's a proper Resident Evil game if there's not an Umbrella in it somewhere. They're both about as rough as that one piece of concept art of Alan, so I'm guessing whoever created them was about as invested in that topic as I am.

Somewhat more interesting to me are the two shots of Miranda with babies. The second obvious Eveline, but the first is presumably of Miranda with Eva, way back in 1920 or so ‒ demonstrating nothing so much much as that in a full 100 years, Miranda hasn't even slightly changed how she does her eyebrows. /s

Another resource for animal artists

So I have just discovered the absolutely incredible digital library of skull scans. These scans include not only images of bones (mainly skulls) but 3D MODELS THAT YOU CAN VIEW IN-BROWSER!

For example, come rotate my cranium here!

Keep in mind that you need to have the scientific name of the species you’re looking for in order to search for it, but that information’s only a Wikipedia page away.

Definitely gonna be doing some studies with this baby!

"Emmet, why am I here."

"For winning those popularity polls."

"I'm not sure I understand what I'm supposed to do-"

"Don't worry about that. Go there. I'll cheer you on! Good luck!"

And so Ingo stood in line with a variety of different people he had never heard of before. To his right was a stout humanoid 3D thing that looked halfway between his twin and Speed Racer, which wasn't exactly a combination he wanted to deal with; to his left was a somewhat nervous man, him too clearly a 3D animated model, who didn't seem to be enjoying himself very much. Perhaps he could have helped clear up what would have gone down.

"Excuse me," he started very politely, making the man startle and a couple mice fall off of his ruana, "My name is Ingo - I'm afraid I don't quite know what all this is about, as my brother dragged me here with barely any explanation. Do you know what we are being judged for, by any chance?"

"Ah - er, I, well, it's--" the poor guy struggled a moment, quickly shaking his hand: "Bruno Madrigal, buenos días -- it's, eh, I'm not - not sure either, I think it's about, about handsome men? Something like that, my niece told me, something- something like that. Which, eh, makes little sense that I'm - that I'm here, I have-- my brothers-in-law, they're more - you know-"

Several voices shouted something in Spanish: a small squadron of variegated 3D characters (his family, Ingo assumed) whoo-ed and hollered from the sidelines to offer Bruno encouragement, including a pair of men very likely to be the aforementioned husbands of his sisters.

"It would seem they have great faith in your abilities and looks!" Ingo noted. Bruno tried to collapse inside his ruana a little bit, embarassed. "I'm certain you will thrive in this competition!"

The man gave a sort of nervous smile: "Eh, I'm afraid not," he chuckled vaguely (no need to tell him about that tiny vision he had coaxed out of himself which assured him he wasn't going to win, which was kind of a relief to be honest) "But I, I'll try my best."

"Bravo! That's the spirit!"

Este tío es lo más raro contra lo que podría enfrentarme, Bruno thought as he recoiled a bit from the loud volume. Pero bueno - and he looked with vivid terror at the pair of pixelated monstrosities at his left (some sort of lanky purple pole with a misshapen hand and pitch black eyes and a small clearly haunted toy screaming about selling something called a cungadero) - también me lo podría pasar mucho peor.

Oblivious to his opponent's thoughts Ingo scanned the horizon to see if something caught his eye; he perked up as he recognized a few traits towards the right end of the opposing line, and immediately put a hand to the side of his mouth to drive his voice further.

"HELLO, FELLOW POKÉMON CHARACTER!" he shouted.

Anybody wearing pants at that moment very nearly shat them.

A punk from the other side looked around, squinted his dark eyes, locked them on the conductor's figure and finally shouted back: "AYYY!"

"How, how did you-?" Bruno asked in disbelief, eyes going from his opponent to the other guy.

"We have a very similar art style," the Subway Boss explained at a slightly lower volume in order not to bust the poor man's hearing while he still had it good.

Bruno blinked, then compared their appearances once more: huh, yes, the definitely did. The more you know.

"WHO ARE YOU?" the punk hollered.

Ingo turned back to him: "MY NAME IS INGO, I AM A SUBWAY BOSS! PLEASURE TO MEET YOU! WHO ARE YOU ?"

"I'M YA BOY GUZMA, BABY!" the other replied. He hit his chest with both hands in a show of great power: "DESTRUCTION IN HUMAN FORM!"

"WE ARE SLIGHTLY CONFUSED BY THE PREMISE OF THIS COMPETITION!" Ingo continued, gesturing to himself and Bruno. "DO YOU PERHAPS HAVE A CLEARER IDEA OF WHAT IT ENTAILS?"

"YEAH, KIND OF," Guzma answered. "IT'S TO SEE WHO OUT OF US ALL WEIRD MEN IS THE SEXIEST!"

There was a bout of silence.

"YOU KNOW," he continued, "IN A RATATA KIND OF WAY."

"I DON'T BELIEVE I'M VERY FLATTERED BY THAT," Ingo honestly replied.

"YEAH I'M NOT SURE YOU SHOULD BE," Guzma admitted, "BUT HEY! WE'RE STILL CONSIDERED PRETTY DAMN SEXY! WHICH IS SOMETHING!"

"Ask him how we're, how we're going to, uh, decide that," Bruno whispered.

"DO YOU KNOW THE METHOD THROUGH WHICH THAT DECISION WILL BE EVENTUALLY MADE?"

"I MEAN, EVERYBODY ELSE IS GONNA VOTE I THINK! WE'RE JUST GONNA MAUL EACH OTHER LIKE, MENTALLY."

"SO NO PHYSICAL VIOLENCE?"

"NAH."

Bruno sighed in relief.

"I WISH IT WAS THROUGH POKÉMON BATTLE!" Guzma lamented. He glared at the yellow triangle staring right at him with its single eye: "BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA LIE, YA BOY'S KINDA FUCKED!"

"DON'T GIVE UP SO SOON! YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED!" Ingo encouraged him. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU WON'T MEASURE UP TO THE TASK?"

"MY FIRST FIGHT IS AGAINST BILL CIPHER, BRO! THEY'VE DONE SOME SERIOUS SHIT WITH HIM, I'M NEVER WINNING THIS!" was the answer, followed by: "THOUGH AT LEAST I'M NOT THAT HUMAN VOLTORB UP AGAINST THE SKELETON!"

"WHO YA CALLIN' A VOLT-ORB, YA CUNT?" a very dirty shirtless man with hair on fire and two not exactly well-made prosthetic limbs shrieked, hand going to throw one of the many hand-made bombs that had already been confiscated for the very reason that he wouldn't have hesitated to launch one at the slightest provocation.

"WHAT SKELETON?" Ingo asked instead.

"THAT ONE!"

"heya."

"HELLO! WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"

"sans."

"A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU! GOOD LUCK!"

"thanks, you too."

"HEY!" Guzma hollered to get Ingo's attention back, "AFTER THIS YOU WANNA DO A POKÉMON BATTLE?"

Ingo's eyes lit up (very literally): "WITH PLEASURE!" he readily replied, "IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE HERE WITH A FRIEND OR A RELATIVE I'M CERTAIN MY BROTHER WOULD LOVE TO DO A MULTI BATTLE!"

A faint 'fuck yeah!' emphasized the last part of his sentence.

Speakers crackled blowing a couple lines of static sounding like a few coughs to warm up their throat.

"Pokémon sexymen, please stop yelling," they finally spoke: "Everybody please get ready, the first rounds will be taking place in a moment - uh, odd number participants turn to your left, even number participants turn to your right and, hm, yup, we're ready."

Satisfied enough with what they were seeing, the unseen announcer hit a little bell, the kind that sits at hotel counters in movies or on the table where restaurants leave the dishes ready to be taken to the tables.

"May the sexiest man win. Good luck!"

Bruno was very glad to have lost on the first round, immediately, Ingo sparing him the anxiety of having to go any further. The two gladly shook hands and bid their goodbyes before the 3D man returned to his family, who had been a little saddened to see him eliminated so soon.

The Subway Boss searched for Guzma in the opposite line: he found him laying face down on the ground, clearly upset and defeated, as the yellow triangle floated forward in a gloating manner.

He would have gladly yelled some words of comfort at him, but something bony and frozen cold snuck itself into his collar and on his neck and he jolted downwards with eyes wider than a Bronzor.

"Please do not touch the conductor!" he shrieked, stumbling on his own feet, "Sudden distractions like these may cause terrible incidents!"

"Oh! I do apologize, mister Conductor," said a surprisingly friendly-looking clay skeleton clad in the most goth pinstripe suit Ingo had ever laid eyes on: "I only wanted to tell you we're up next."

"We?" the Subway Boss repeated.

"Yes, the two of us winners," the skeleton nodded. A bony hand laid in the stilted yet elegant manner typical of stop motion on his clothed ribcage as he introduced himself: "Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of the Town of Halloween, and I believe you screamed your name... Ingong?"

Royalty? This was certainly proving to be quite the contest!

Ingo quickly bowed, hoping not to have offended his opponent: "My name is Ingo, sir! Subway Boss Ingo, at your service. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"The pleasure is all mine," Jack assured him. His pitch black sockets fixed on the 2D man's coat: "I'll say, I believe you would be quite at home in the Town of Halloween! This is a delightfully dark get-up!"

"Oh, thank you! It's merely my uniform... Though I'm certain my partner Pokémon, Chandelure, would definitely enjoy the atmosphere of your home," Ingo mused, "She is a fiery ghost psychopomp, after all..."

"Why, she sounds like a dream!" the skeleton king cried out.

Eager to show off his darling soul-eater, the Subway Boss made a motion to reach onto a notch in his belt where her Pokéball should have sat - but he remembered only then that he had not been allowed to bring his team along, having to leave them instead in his brother's care.

"EMMET!" he shouted (causing another round of pants shatting) "COULD YOU PLEASE RELEASE CHANDELURE? I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW HER TO THE PUMPKIN KING!"

Emmet gave him thumbs up. Moments later, Chandelure chimed cheerfully and shined her flames to encourage her trainer.

To say Jack was smitten with her would have been an understatement.

"I must have her!" he almost sang. "I have to! Oh, Zero will adore her, I know it!"

"I could catch a Litwick for you-"

"No no no, it must be her! Let's make a deal, mister Conductor-" the pumpkin king proposed "-If I win, you will lend me your gorgeous Chandelier for a whole year!"

In the span of a single sentence, the stakes had risen vertiginously.

Ingo's pose stiffened as he readied himself to fight with tooth and nail, fingers clutched tightly on the brim of his cap: "I am sorry, but in that case I will be forced to stop you in your tracks," he sternly replied. "As her trainer, I cannot let Chandelure fall into someone else's hands!

From his seat on the sidelines, Emmet grew very interested.

"Oooh," he cooed, "This'll be good."

"How can you tell?" Plumeria (who was only here because Guzma didn't have a license and had to be driven over) asked.

"He's gotten serious. And when Ingo gets serious, it's always verrry fun."

The young woman looked at the lanky black figures squaring up for the next fight: "He better win then," she muttered.

Jack had been a good sport in the end, accepting defeat graciously. He was now talking to a similarly tall, lanky, black clad, white faced man who was particularly fucking terrifying; the two had eventually been joined by a lovely purple thumbnail for a poscast which spoke with a male voice, entertaining all together a conversation which featured a lot of static noise - incomprehensibly perfectly understood by both skeleton and thumbnail.

Ingo had not managed to listen in much, partially because he was not one for eavesdropping, partially because he was busy in his own next round against a teen boy in desperate need for therapy.

Said boy had gripped his arm when he had lost with a look in his eyes like madness.

"You must defeat him," he had hissed, probably talking about his next opponent. "He defeated my boyfriend as supreme twink... I couldn't avenge him then nor now... You're my Hope..."

"I will do my best," the Subway Boss had assured him rather nervously. "In the meantime please accept this phone number, call it and take care of yourself."

Unfortunately for the poor Nagito (who reacted to the news by wailing inconsolably for roughly fifteen minutes in the arms of a similarly aged boy who seemed to be very done with this sort of situation) Ingo did not pass the semifinals, bested at last after a discreet winning spree by one extremely desperate looking man by the name of Reigen Arataka, according to himself esper psychic extraordinaire.

"An excellent fight!" the conductor congratulated Reigen with genuine earnestness, energetically shaking his hand hard enough to make the guy wobble like a wacky wavy inflatable tube man in a hurricane, "You've fought valiantly and secured your road to the finals!"

The man wheezed out a thank you, trying to fix his tie as he gulped down a breath to make his daring request - but a shout interrupted him before he could began, making him crumple on himself.

"INGO!" Guzma yelled from the sidelines with a half drunk Tapu Cocoa in his hand: "DID YOU WIN?"

"HELLO GUZMA!" Ingo yelled back. "UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE LOST THIS MATCH BY 10 PERCENT!"

"FUCK!"

"THIS HOWEVER MEANS THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR POKÉMON BATTLE SOONER THAN SCHEDULED IF YOU'RE STILL INTERESTED IN HAVING ONE!"

"FUCK YEAH!"

Content with the response, Guzma took a sip of his drink and squinted a bit to recognize the guy next to Ingo.

He waited a moment, and then yelled again: "ISN'T THAT THE GUY WHO WON THE COMPETITIONS FOR NUMBER ONE TWINK, DILF, MILF, AND INTERNATIONAL SEX SYMBOL?"

Reigen felt himself crumble as the Subway Boss turned to repeat the question; he stopped the conductor in his tracks with a fulmineous hand gesture: "Yes," he admitted, "Yes it's me. I have... Acquired those titles through my undeniable talents and great strife in the past few day."

Even 'MILF'?, Ingo thought as he elected to completely ignore most of the acronym as well as the rest of the titles. I didn't know he was genderqueer! Good for him!

"You must have an incredible drive and strong fighting spirit! Bravo!" he simply said. Then, turning back to Guzma: "IT IS HIM!"

The punk nodded solemnly: "YOU FOUGHT AS WELL AS YOU COULD, MAN," he stated proudly. "THOUGH CAN WE KEEP THE BATTLE FOR AFTER THIS IS DONE LIKE WE PLANNED EARLIER? BECAUSE THE OTHER FINALIST IS THE SKELETON AND I'VE GOT TO SEE WHO WINS THIS ONE!"

"The what?" Reigen asked with palpable fear in his voice.

A lot closer than Guzma, standing in his pixelated glory near the flat on the ground remains of Bill Cipher, Sans Undertale waved at the two 2D men.

Ingo waved back politely and congratulated his victory.

Reigen began sweating.

"He seems to be a tough opponent!" Ingo commented in blissful unawareness of the fake psychic's fear, "I wish you good luck!"

"Well as a sign of sportsmanship and good faith in my chances to win--!!!" Reigen very quickly blocked him before he could leave and his chances of at least bribing one somewhat handsome guy into saying he was sexy (in a rodent kind of way but whatever) vanished in smoke: "As your last opponent, you should vote for me in this final round, don't you think? I can throw in a--"

"Oh certainly!" Ingo cut him off before any offer of spirit cleansings or massages could be made. "I'll be very glad to lend you my support in this final stretch of tracks before your last station!"

Blessing this altruistic and easily swayed man, Reigen thanked him with a thumbs up that exuded more confidence than what he actually had.

"Why'd he give you thumbs up?" Guzma asked once his fellow trainer had left the battlefield to join him on the quest to find his brother among the mess of people.

"Oh, he thanked me for promising to vote for him," the Subway Boss explained. "Will you also vote for him?"

"Nah - but it's nothing personal, y'know? 's a matter of principle," and he gently beat his chest with his fist, "Team Skull's gotta side with the bones."

"A code of honor among comrades... I understand very well."

Passing Komaeda, who was now attempting to climb up one of the speakers to shout encouragement at Sans, Guzma squinted at a figure in white: "That your brother near my girl Plumeria?"

"Why yes, that's him!"

"Damn, you two look really similar. It's like you're twins."

"We are!"

Emmet greeted his brother with a finger pointed right at his face, a toothy grin, and a chirpy: "You lost! Sweet revenge."

Ingo huffed a bit of a chuckle.

"But also-" his twin continued, and with a swift motion he plucked both their hats from their heads to place his own on top of Ingo's. "Third place crown! I am verrry proud of you. Yup!"

"Oh! Why thank you!" the elder brother laughed, "Now we match!"

"Yup, yup! Did you have fun?"

"I'd say so, yes! It was surprisingly intense at times. But I do believe I've made a couple friends across franchises, even."

"Nice! Me too!" and Emmet pointed at a large pixelated skeleton in a rather weird outfit and incredibly long straight teeth who was approaching them at concerning speeds: "He likes puzzles."

"GREETINGS, HUMAN!" the skeleton shrieked in a friendly manner.

Guzma looked at him.

"Is that fucking Papyrus from Deltarune," he asked flatly.

Papyrus looked at him.

"IS THAT FUCKING GUZMA FROM POKÉMON SWORD AND SHIELD?" he asked back.

They quickly shook hands with a sudden air of intense professionalism.

Plumeria's look assured the twins that she had no idea what was going on or what any of this meant.

"Excuse me," a young voice made Ingo turn around to see a fourteen-year-old boy in school uniform looking up at him with somewhat soulless eyes, "Did you compete against Reigen, my shinshou?"

"I did! My name is Ingo. You are?"

"They call me Mob. Do you think he has any chance of winning?"

"Well, he is certainly very determined," the Subway Boss mused, "And I've heard he has won several of these contests already."

"AT THE VERY LEAST HE IS PUTTING IN MORE EFFORT THAN MY BROTHER!" Papyrus butted in. Hearing himself being mentioned, Sans turned a little and waved at the group while his brother continued: "THAT LAZYBONES HAS BARELY DONE ANYTHING MORE THAN WALK TO THE NEXT POSITION AFTER WINNING SO FAR!"

"Ah, but perhaps that's the secret to victory," Ingo hummed. "Mr. Reigen seems to be taking this far too seriously."

"You weren't taking it seriously?" Mob asked.

"On the contrary, I was very serious about each individual match!" the man explained: "But I approached the competition as a whole rather lightly, as a fun activity. Your master on the other hand seems to concern himself far too much with it - to the point where he looks like a Mincinno in the rain."

"Wet and miserable," Emmet translated.

"Yeah, he does look kind of pathetic," Plumeria agreed mercilessly.

Mob looked back at the battlefield, where his employer was doing various increasingly weird poses as a way to warm up while his opponent took a nap.

Maybe he should follow his own advice, the kid thought, And not let other people dictate his self-worth...

"He's a good person," he stated solemnly. "Even if he pays me 300 yen."

A bout of vaguely horrified silence passed through the group without touching Papyrus, who had long ago decided to ignore the economy and all that stemmed from it.

"Like," Guzma finally braved to ask, "300 yen an hour?"

"In general."

Another pause.

"Bad," Emmet sentenced.

"Definitely illegal," Plumeria echoed.

"You need to immediately demand a significant wage increase," Ingo ordered.

In the end, Mob's last second vote had secured the victory.

Papyrus was now parading his newly crowned #1 sexyman brother on his shoulder with the pride and joy of a chef presenting his award winning plate of piping hot spaghetti with tomato sauce between the enthusiastic hollers and clapping of fans, while Reigen was sitting with a second place smoothie contemplating a very select few of his life choices, something which happened incredibly rarely despite being a man who pretended to have psychic powers and got in extremely dangerous situations because of it for a living.

Watching Komaeda being driven away by a large fish lady with a glowing blue lance after attempting to hail Sans like some sort of divine idol, the four Pokémon characters were having quite a ball.

Emmet's attention was suddenly caught by a bit of eavesdropped conversation to his left, between a blue man with an enormous head and a lady in a very similar 3D style - something about hating that someone was right this time.

He turned around very quickly and ran directly into the two of them too fast for Ingk to manage to stop him: "I am Emmet," he introduced himself, making the blue man jump, "I am verrry interested in your conversation! Please continue. Who is right about what this time?"

The woman gripped her man's shoulder tight enough to quell any instinctual murderous movement before he accidentally killed the strange guy.

"Uh - well, it's nothing really," she waved dismissively, "It's just an inside joke, a minor nemesis of ours once thought the queen of England was something made up and there was no such thing, and now he's, well, you know - right."

Emmet cocked his head to the side: "What do you mean?"

"WHAT!" the very dirty shirtless australian man with hair on fire who had called Guzma a cunt earlier screamed at that very moment, talking to an enormous friend of his who wore a gas mask somewhat reminiscent of a pig's face: "YA MEAN SHE'S BIT THE BULLET FOR REAL?!"

The kind of silence that precedes inordinate amounts of unbridled chaos fell for roughly fifteen seconds.

"That," the blue man replied.

"SANS!!" Papyrus turned to his brother as if he had played some kind of part in this.

(Mob, famed anime icon of both socialism and antifascism, who had released a beam of 100% relief in the vague direction of London at the news of his employer's defeat, saw it fit to remain quiet.)

"Oh no!" the Subway Bosses exclaimed.

Ingo then turned back to Guzma and Plumeria: "Would this be a bad moment to have that Multi Battle we had scheduled?"

"Nah, we can totally go for it," Plumeria reassured him.

"Very well then! All aboard!"

And the four of them left to find a quieter place to battle in peace.

Giant list of helpful references and resources for artists and OCs!

A giant list of references that I use often, or have found useful, and would like to share with others. If any of the links are broken or unsafe, please let me know so I can remove them.

--Free images--

Vecteezy - A site to download vector art and stock photos.

Pixabay, Unsplash, Pexels, and Public Domain Pictures - Lots of public domain and royalty free stock photos.

Smithsonian Open Access - “Where you can download, share, and reuse millions of the Smithsonian’s images—right now, without asking. With new platforms and tools, you have easier access to more than 4.4 million 2D and 3D digital items from our collections.”

--Words--

Words to Use - A handy theasaurus-like site.

漫画素材工房 ‘s Pixiv - So so so so many helpful images on nearly any kind of anatomy possible. It’s all in japanese, but the images are clear enough to understand without text. Also has done lots and lots of hand references.

----And now, a pose tip!--- Having trouble looking for a pose, or model, or you just don’t draw people? Try looking for YouTube videos! Dog agility events are great for dog anatomy, music videos are useful for more unique poses. Street/Town walking videos are great for environment references. Use your resources!

Waifu2x - A site that enlarges an image without losing the quality (most of the time). I mostly use it for Switch screenshots but I’m sure it can have other artistic uses.

Save as PNG - A useful Chrome extension that adds a ‘Save as PNG’ section to your right click. Nice for when images keep saving as .webp files. (you’ll have to search for this extension yourself, it doesn’t like me linking to it.)

Timer Tab - Turn your browser’s tab into a countdown clock. Useful for keeping focused.

Timer for Productivity - A small downloadable program to help keep you focused. Uses a timer in green when you’re working in an art program (or other authorized program), but stops and turns red if you click off and get distracted.

PostyBirb - A downloadable program that lets you upload an image to multiple websites at once. Includes many art sites such as Deviantart, Tumblr, Furaffinity, and many more. Will adjust your tags, titles, descriptions, and ratings to fit every website, and even allows minor changes for each individual site. I questioned it’s authenticity at first since it requires your login information, but after asking some tech-savvy friends, it’s been deemed safe. However, please use your own judgment and research unknown programs before downloading them!

A standalone video that shows how to draw from a reference, and how to see where your flaws are.

A huge tutorial on Low Poly Modeling in Blender. Very long video but great for beginners.

50 Quick Tips and How to draw FAST - both have lots of tips for using Clip Studio Paint.

--Useful Tips--

Blender and ZBrushCoreMini are free 3D modeling programs. Krita is a free paint and animation program. Clip Studio Paint often has sales at half their regular price (I got mine for $25USD). Also has a free trial option. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Can’t figure out how to draw a background, or need a quick background sketch? Open up a photo in Clip Studio Paint if you have it, go to Filter > Effect > Artistic, and play with the sliders to your hearts content. Ta da, quick background.

Take photos of yourself in a pose, or use a mirror if you have to. Sometimes you don’t realize a pose is impossible or unnatural until you try it yourself.

When you go out, take photos of scenery! You have free references then. Just don’t take or use photos of other people unless you ask for their permission first.

I have many more useful images on My Pinterest that I try to keep updated, including color schemes, writing tips, clothing, tutorials, and a little bit of humor.

And remember, it is okay to use references.

Eli HCs when his chubby partner is pregnant ? I loved the Miguel one and now I NEED Eli😫

Eli Moskowitz x Pregnant!Reader Headcanons

AFAB!Chubby!Reader ○ a lil suggestive near the end ○ personal fave

I needed an excuse for this one ☺️ so thank you, anon, for this req.

When Eli finds out his partner is pregnant, he's starstruck. He looks like he's just been told he's the most famous, richest, and loved man alive - and that's pretty much how he feels too. He is 100% smitten with his partner all over again as if it's the first time they've kissed or said I love you for the first time.

He's very excited, getting way ahead of himself as he talks about room preparations and not knowing any good baby names. Once he's calmed down - after an hour or two - he sits with his partner, one arm around them while his opposite hand lays over their belly. Just knowing their lil baby is in there fills his chest with all the warm feelings.

However, at night he worries a lot. His thoughts wander and get the better of him. Being born with a cleft lip and growing up with a surgery scar takes a whole new toll on him. He worries about whether or not his kid will be born with a cleft. He fucked up by researching the risks, which only sent him into a small spiral. He lays in bed beside his beautiful/handsome partner, holding their curves and rubbing their belly (that isn't even showing yet) and worrying about whether or not their baby will have a cleft lip or palate.

In the meantime, he's staying by his partner's side as much as humanly possible while also giving them the space they need. He's a bit of a worrier in those first few months of pregnancy, but does everything in his power to hide that.

He gives in to food cravings very easily. He can't help it, especially if his partner uses the "but it's what the baby wants" excuse. He's pouring chocolate sauce onto potato chips like it's nothing. And no, he is not going to try any of the weird food combos, no matter how curious he might be.

He feels so guilty when his partner goes through bouts of morning sickness or their body gets achy. When their breasts get sore, he offers to give them a gentle massage to help. Same goes for their shoulders to help get some of the tension out of them. He's so good at it, and his hands- fuck, his hands.

When it's time to go to ultrasound appointments, he's always going to make time for them. He doesn't care about whatever else is going on, he's going to go to those appointments no matter what. He loves to see the shape of the baby on the screen and he's smiling the entire time. He's so overjoyed and he cannot put it into words.

When they were far along enough in the pregnancy, he asks to have a 3D scan done to see if the baby had a cleft. Up until that point, he's kept his fears a secret from his partner because he never wanted to worry them, though they are already well aware of the risks. So when the topic of the 3D scan comes up, everyone is on the same page.

He holds his partner's hand through the whole process, watching the doctor with baited breath as they do their thing. When they tell the parents-to-be that the baby is developing just fine, no signs of a cleft anywhere, he feels extremely relieved. It's not that he wouldn't have loved or thought of his child any different if they had a cleft, but he never wants his child to go through what he went through - the looks, the whispers, the bullying. So he teared up with the relief when he got the news.

As for the nursery, he goes for an animal theme. He transforms the room he and his partner picked out for the nursery into a zoo. Lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), but also plenty of hawks, falcons, and eagles. Sock monkeys and pillows that look like sloths. The room is green with jungle leaves painted on the walls, all the furniture a deep mahogany. The toys and other decorations give it pops of other colors.

When the baby gets restless, he reads to them. Sometimes it's a baby book, other times it's whatever he's in the middle of. From time to time, he picks up one of his favorite comics and reads it to them, adding the extra details the pictures give. Sometimes he does voices for the characters and sound effects, amusing himself and his partner, as well as their little one.

He already couldn't keep his hands off of his partner before, but now it's 10x worse. He loves having a hand on their belly at all times. He puts his arm around their waist when they walk or holds their hand (while also carrying anything they might have brought with them, like a purse or bag). At home, he's handsy, running his hands up their side or over their ass when he walks by. He loves seeing the way their body changes with pregnancy and shows it in those touches.

Eli loves making out while they sit and cuddle. His hand is always on their belly when they kiss. He's so passionate and soft for them, but he can't even try to hide it or act normal when they're so close.

He also gets a little turned on whenever they're changing or doing the most mundane thing ever. He'll be nearby, watching and licking his lips as he takes in the godly figure before him. There's no way for him to hide that either, not that he was ever trying. He wants them to know how hot he thinks they are, especially if they have some insecurities surrounding the way their body has changed.

Presses his hard-on against their ass and tells them, "Babe, you were hot before, and now... you're still fucking gorgeous."

(If anyone wants more detailed nsfw hcs on that, I can do it lol.)

When his partner's belly is huge and heavy, he does the thing where he lifts the weight off of them and lets them rest against his chest. He's lean but strong, so he can stand there holding their belly up for a good 35 to 45 minutes. It's literally a weight off of their back and he's more than happy to do often.

However, expect him to say something like "I've got my whole world in my hands right now" while he does it.

As it gets closer to his partner's due date, he's surprisingly calm. He's already got the car seat installed and secured; the nursery is complete and there's plenty of diapers, wipes, etc; the hospital bag is ready to go. Everything leading up to that moment has prepared him, as well as some advice from his mom that he keeps in mind as the days dwindle down.

Unfortunately, the baby chooses to take their sweet ass time and ends up overdue, which makes him feel guilty all over again. But of course it would be his baby that's a stubborn lil thing. (but birth hcs like that deserve their own list lol.)
