K, let's be real, Brand New Animal, pretty cool show right?

I started rewatching it, and something stuck out to me, Michiru (and Nazuna), dont look like the other beastmen. The others are like full on bipedal-animals while Michiru and Nazuna's face shapes dont reflect that of the animal they're supposed to be, unless they shapeshifter (like Michiru shapeshifting into a wolf beastmen for 2 seconds) their natural beastman form doesn't look very... beastman, and it sticks out in scenes with other beastmen, they genuinely look like the best-of-both-worlds cross between Human and Beastman, and I think its because they WERE human, so of course they wouldn't look like they should for other beastmen.

Of course we don't ever see another fox beastman or tanuki or even raccoon beastmen as reference points, but since the other beastman's faces all look really close to their animals, like the lion and deer in the first episode, any wolf beastman, the lioness in I think episode 2, etc etc, they're all very very distinctly animal, and if you take away the special markings and ears on Michiru and Nazuna, they could pretty easily pass for human anime characters.

Something else I noticed, is they're the only beastmen (aside from Shirou) who have any sort of unnatural color palette. even Marie Itami doesn't quite reach unnatural coloration, she's more gray and id say the purple tones can be chocked up to BNA's wacky lighting system.

Michiru has blue hair, Nazuna has pink hair (and skin), and they both have two-toned eyes that are two different colors (duh thats what two-toned means lol)

There could be outliers and other characters that have these traits, but a few episodes in on rewatch it just feels like- these aren't so much traits of their beastmen species, but reflections of their humanity/human past to differentiate them from other beastmen better

idk tho

what do you think?

My wobbly torus-vortex wire model

I crafted this tiny wire model back in 2013. It's built of copper wire.

this shape has a very interesting handling - it wobbles, it's still merely stable, but it's still very flexible.

Back in 2013 this was how I imagined an elementary particle's coiled 'string' (partially relates to string theory).

Now look at the wobbly model when shaken:

📌 Circular Art 🟠 Circles

Two days after finishing Uzumaki, suddenly I see this everytime I look through my sunglasses.

where is the exciting cold open. why is the title sequence 3 seconds long. why is there so little music in general. where have the next episode trailers gone. much to consider (i miss moffat. sorry. this writing is so tedious. jodie saves it from being a complete fail but i do hope it gets better)

Playing through Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs, and can I just say

Red Eyes really likes throwin' out Electrode bombs

For context I only just received Entei

But like- blows up a bridge, blows up a temple, in 2/3 interactions with him he's used Electrode to blow something up

I dont know what that says about his characterization

but I certainly like it XD

this is my first elul while practicing. i have ocd AND social anxiety and so feel guilty over nothing (or something way overblown) that manifests in reassurance-seeking, and so engaging in the traditional reflective teshuvah practices of the season is a recipe for spiraling.

my rabbi said i absolutely shouldn’t do it if it’s going to trigger me and try to focus on self-care and on self-improvement in other ways but didn’t give me a lot of concrete alternatives. anyone else in a similar situation? and, if so, do you have any tips?
