Wilhelm pantomime costume design (1890-1910) PNGs, part 3
(from: vam)
E.J Sue’s “Mechaforce” is one of the few “How to Draw” books I would point newbies looking to get into drawing robots to. It emphasises knowing the basics (Very difficult to draw a robot properly if you can’t use perspective) and fundamental shapes and even arm techniques, and gives a neat insight into how mechanical forms work in art.
These are just a few of the examples from the anatomy section of the book. It’s currently on sale on Amazon and worth checking out, though I will note it is not a “be all end all” resource, thankfully you can fill in your knowledge gaps elsewhere.
for all my art friends
Goddamn. Okay
Did you have a kid in your neighborhood who always hid so good, nobody could find him? We did. After a while we would give up on him and go off, leaving him to rot wherever he was. Sooner or later he would show up, all mad because we didn't keep looking for him. And we would get mad back because he wasn't playing the game the way it was supposed to be played.
There's hiding and there's finding, we'd say. And he'd say it was hide-and-seek, not hide-and-give-UP, and we'd all yell about who made the rules and who cared about who, anyway, and how we wouldn't play with him anymore if he didn't get it straight and who needed him anyhow, and things like that. Hide-and-seek-and-yell. No matter what, though, the next time he would hide too good again. He's probably still hidden somewhere, for all I know.
As I write this, the neighborhood game goes on, and there is a kid under a pile of leaves in the yard just under my window. He has been there a long time now, and everybody else is found and they are about to give up on him over at the base. I considered going out to the base and telling them where he is hiding. And I thought about setting the leaves on fire to drive him out. Finally, I just yelled, "GET FOUND, KID!" out the window. And scared him so bad he probably wet his pants and started crying and ran home to tell his mother. It's real hard to know how to be helpful sometimes.
A man I know found out last year he had terminal cancer. He was a doctor. And knew about dying, and he didn't want to make his family and friends suffer through that with him. So he kept his secret. And died. Everybody said how brave he was to bear his suffering in silence and not tell everybody, and so on and so forth. But privately his family and friends said how angry they were that he didn't need them, didn't trust their strength. And it hurt that he didn't say good-bye.
He hid too well. Getting found would have kept him in the game. Hide-and-seek, grown-up style. Wanting to hide. Needing to be sought. Confused about being found. "I don't want anyone to know." "What will people think?" "I don't want to bother anyone."
Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game called Sardines. In Sardines the person who is It goes and hides, and everybody goes looking for him. When you find him, you get in with him and hide there with him. Pretty soon everybody is hiding together, all stacked in a small space like puppies in a pile. And pretty soon somebody giggles and somebody laughs and everybody gets found.
Medieval theologians even described God in hide-and-seek terms, calling him Deus Absconditus. But me, I think old God is a Sardine player. And will be found the same way everybody gets found in Sardines - by the sound of laughter of those heaped together at the end.
"Olly-olly-oxen-free." The kids out in the street are hollering the cry that says "Come on in, wherever you are. It's a new game." And so say I. To all those who have hid too good. Get found, kid! Olly-olly-oxen-free.

So I was thinking about Mobian species inheritance a bit too deeply in conversation with @doodletycoon06. Now, barring odd hybrid situations like cases from Archie comics (which I'll swing around to in a later post), natural born Mobians tend to inherit either one or the other parent's species. So there have to be rules, right?
So let's bust out the Punnett squares. But first, some ground rules.
Certain species are likely to be dominant over some, but recessive against others. Now, this could probably be calculated more or less with a little statistical analysis and crowd counts, but what am I, mid 2010s big math era Matpat?
Ergo:
1. Let it be assumed that species that are more numerous will be dominant over those that are less numerous.
2. Let it also be assumed that isolated groups of same-species Mobians will tend towards being homozygous, while Mobians from crowded, multi-species population centers tend to be heterozygous for reasons that will soon become clear.
Now, for this all to work and for long-unexpressed ancestor species not to make random and unexpected appearances (remember: the child inherits their species from one of the parents, NOT further back), there needs to be one last element: a recessive "other" allele. The gene that does not express, letting the other species rise to the surface.
An important additional argument for the "other" gene is that without it, mixed species siblings would not be possible, and they canonically are. Without an "other," whichever parent carries the dominant species would pass it on to *all* their children.
Thus, 3. let it also be assumed that there is an unexpressed "other" gene that is ALWAYS recessive to the other allele.
All set? Premises accepted? Okay, let's go.
For argument's sake, let's take a big city bat and an echidna from an extremely isolated tribal community.
Now, there's quite a few bats out there in the big wild world, but not that many echidna, even assuming that there must have been breakaways, splinter tribes, et. al. over the centuries.
Thus, echidna must be an extremely recessive species. Certainly relative to bats, a populous and widespread species.
Our bat lady comes from a big city- let's say she's heterozygous to give our echidna genes a chance. Our echidna, on the other hand, is homozygous.
So now we have three genes in play: dominant Bat "B", recessive echidna "e", and unexpressed other "o".
Our bat lady, then, is B/o, while our purely hypothetical echidna warrior is e/e.
This gives us four possible outcomes.
B/e ➡ Bat
B/e ➡ Bat
o/e ➡ Echidna
o/e ➡ Echidna
Not bad! That's a 50/50 split, right?
Okay. So what about the kids? How is this inherited?
Remember, kids ONLY inherit species from their IMMEDIATE parents. That means that our bat children are FULLY bat, and our echidna children are FULLY echidna.
No surprise echidna babies down the bat line. No peekaboo bats down the echidna line.
Our bat kids are heterozygous. They have their dominant Bat allele... and another.
Another that did not express.
This allele is passed down, leaves a trace in their genetic line as their "o".
These kids had a non-bat allele in their makeup, but they are fully bat.
Our bat kids are B/o, just like their mother.
Now, with our echidna kids, it becomes a little less intuitive.
Because what are they? They are fully echidna, aren't they? Sure, there's an "o" there when they're formed, but the "other" gene literally does not express. Its only function, in fact, is to not express, to enable recessive species to take its place. So what are our echidna kids left with?
Homozygous e/e. Just like their father.
In essence, the alleles "switch" places along the generation in the way they are passed down.
Which then leads the children to have their own children, and so forth in perpetuity.
It would also explain how a species can simply disappear or dissipate over the years, even without a hypothetical chief of a certain isolated tribe of a extremely recessive species making some very, very bad choices.
Which leaves only one question and one alone: what happens to o/o crosses?
To which I say, as a general cop out: non viable embryo. But I'm very willing to be argued with on that one!

It’s infuriating how so many women were (and still are) discriminated against for being female
she also killed and dissected a rabbit so that her peter rabbit would be as ACCURATE as possible. all the magic of countless children’s childhoods was built upon the bones of a single bunny’s sacrifice. how delightful. how horrific. what necromancer could dream of such impact with a single stroke of their blade.
(celebrated children’s fantasist) diana wynne jones said that she once wandered into beatrix potter’s yard by accident as a kid and got chased off because beatrix potter disliked children, which really fits into the rest of this quite neatly
diana wynne jones Is hysterical like does she have an anecdote about personally irritating every famous English novelist (whirlibird)

On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump released an anti-transgender tirade of a speech on his social media website Truth Social, outlining a genocidal plan against all transgender existence in the United States. Everyone on the right from mainstream Republicans to hardcore neo-Nazis are celebrating the video while Democrats and legacy news media outlets have so far largely ignored it. “So this is what we are up against,” tweeted legislative researcher and pro-transgender activist Erin Reed. She continues, “a national transgender ban in 2024. This is what they are planning. DeSantis is practicing this through executive actions in Florida. Trump is openly saying he will do the same.” This is unambiguously genocidal territory. Holocaust museums have warned that this rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric mirrors the hate that led up to the rise of Nazi Germany.
Here are the proposals outlined in Trump’s genocidal three and a half minute rant:
Pass a bill that falsely claims there are only two genders, male and female
Reverse legislation for life-saving gender affirming healthcare
Ban all education of transgender and non-binary issues in schools nationwide
Ban transitioning for youth nationwide
Sign an executive order to end programs for gender transitioning for all ages nationwide
Criminalize and hunt doctors and educators who try to save transgender and non-binary lives
