I want to share this awesome video with all of you! The aquarium up here where I volunteer normally has a light bar connected to conductors in the tank to physically represent Loki the electric eel’s charge. But for the season they made it even cooler by adding Christmas lights! Here you see him being fed one of his meals!

WILL!? WILL! IS THAT YOU?!

ZAP the food to be sure it doesn’t escape

Stuart Semple made Glow-in-the-dark paint that’s bright enough to glow in normal light and can be charged by both light AND heat and it’s real fuckin good y’all. Note that this is only the powder and you need to buy the acrylic base(also sold on the site) to mix it in for it to stick to surfaces. [shop]

INFORMATION (from the website):

This is Lit! The most powerful light emitting pigment on the planet!

This creation by Stuart Semple blends some of the planet’s finest light emitting pigments and rare earth activators to provide all artists* with the ultimate light emitting paint.

What does it do?

  • Unlike other glowing things, Lit can be recharged an unlimited number of times
  • It’s super high luminescence will often glow brighter than the ambient light around it
  • Can be charged with light or heat
  • After super-bright initial glow, will afterglow for up to 12 hours (depending on your mix)
  • Has been specially formulated to mix with superbase to create a super pigmented, mega glow paint that will stick to almost anything.

Non toxic – contains no hazardous or radioactive substances.

*Especially Anish Kapoor. If you are Anish Kapoor, can prove you are associated with Anish Kapoor or to the best of your knowledge information and belief this substance is going to make it’s way into the hands of Anish Kapoor, your order will be free! We want you to know how lovely it feels to #shareTheLight

I WANT IT

@ every freaking artist friend I have

The royal family employs no bodyguards. A would-be assassin discovers why.

“Please?” the crown prince said hopefully.

The assassin hesitated. “I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this.”

“Come on, you’re doing great. Just one stab, it’ll be easy-peasy.” The prince  spread his arms wide, leaving his throat and chest vulnerable.

“Look, I’m going to level with you,” the assassin said. “I took this contract on the assumption that you were a bad dude. Usually when a country goes bankrupt this fast, it’s because whoever’s in charge is raiding the treasury. But once I infiltrated the guard, I actually had to spend time around you, and you’re just.” The assassin threw her hands up in disgust. “You’re a really nice person! There’s no getting around it! So I’m not super on board with murdering you now. Nothing personal.”

“But if you don’t, my sisters won’t get the life insurance payout, and the country will be in debt for the next century!”

“I’m pretty sure arranging for your own assassination is insurance fraud.”

“Your whole job is to commit murder,” the prince said, “and now you’re worried about a little insurance fraud?”

The assassin pinched the bridge of her nose. “Okay, let’s back up and think about this rationally. Have you considered faking your own death?”

This was not what I was expecting, and it is glorious.

What if instead of gilly weed Harry had showed up to the black lake challenge in muggle scuba gear like “like where’s your advanced magic now bitches? Got me a free fishing knife with this thing”

Honestly I just want an AU where Harry approached all his magical problems with muggle solutions. Nobody knows how to handle it because he’s supposed to be there learning magic but you know what, it fucking works.

Give me Harry Potter who is like fucking MacGuyver up in this shit, creating his own non-magical solutions to magical problems.

“Potter how did you get past the enchanted keys to the Sorcerer’s Stone?”

“I used a fucking net.”

“How did you get past the dragon?”

Harry shines a little red light on the wall “works on cats, why not a dragon”

“How did you get through the hedge maze?”

“Weed-b-gone, it’s like a pound. Nothing will ever grow there again”

It’s the final battle between Harry and Voldemort. The Dark Lord begins to prepare a spell to end Harry Potter’s life once and for all when….

Reblogging because this is funny and the gif is perfect.

This is how I imagine all the modern day muggleborns solve their problems, like they’re having a hard time with herbology, so they just head over to the room of requirement think “I really need a place where my damn cell phone is going to work” and the room makes it happen, then they go in, and call their gran and be like “hey can you send me like, a standard gardening kit? Thanks gran” they get it, and like all the various muggle science made things make herbology loads easier. A muggleborn kid decides they want to help Madame pomfrey in the hospital wing, and they notice she has to brew these really complex potions to help students with like, colds or allergies or whatever, they just write home and be like “hey, dad, can you send me like, 3 boxes of NyQuil and Claritin? Thanks” and then they show Madame pomfrey how the muggles fix illness.

a group of muggleborns all over the world start teaching the pure bloods at their various schools about the Internet and suddenly there are a bunch of Reddit threads called shit like r/potions and r/transfiguration where they’re all helping each other figure out how to do their homework and r/hogwartssecrets where they all start finding ways to screw with the stairs and create new secret passages and a special wizard version of ratemyprofessor pops up.

a small group of muggleborns who went home for Christmas all got those little BB-8 droids for Christmas and then used magic to make them sentient and repainted them to be unique and now there’s a bunch of witches and wizards walking around hogwarts with ball droid familiars

I suggest Harry Potter and the Methods of rationality tbh

uniformshark:

I stopped worrying about how I’m stuck with progress or that I’m
just drawing identical things all the time and same face half of the
characters I do. I don’t have the motivation to sit down and do
figure drawings or perspective or backgrounds to push myself like all my friends do. This dumb
mindset just keeps me from doing art in the first place and I lack
the energy to go out of my comfort zone. There I said it.

It is good to strive for more with your skills …but also if you
feel as exhausted as me, just creating itself is fine too.

So yes first picture of 2018 is this smug bastard again because he needed a pin up.
