TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that Prosopocoilus savagei is a large species of stag beetle found in central and eastern Africa? The males will measure up to 65mm long, including their impressive mandibles making them twice as long as the females. Like other stag beetles, these ones use their large mandibles to fight other males for good breeding spots or food.

The backgrounds for the entire series were done on black paper, a first for any animated show. It's Batman, which means everything is at night and incredibly dark. So, the majority of the backgrounds were going to be black anyways and using black paper would cut down on the time it took to create all of the backgrounds. Adding color over the black paper instead of the traditional method gave it a much more stylized look that helped make it iconic.

It also forced some other creative choices, such as using an airbrush to do all of the background art. During the early testing, they found that using an airbrush was easier to apply paint with than a paintbrush and that it looked better. Airbrushing let them be more experimental with painting techniques, such as the spattery fades you can see in the "Bane" and "Deep Freeze" title cards above or the soft, deeply shadowed face on "the Last Laugh." The overall effect of airbrushing on a black background is a much darker, moodier vibe than could be achieved with a traditional approach.

He then showed me several apps that played music using scores.

I explained to him: 'Your cell phone always plays that Debussy score in exactly the same way. You, on the other hand, with your emotions and flaws, will never play the score the same way twice. You will not play the same way on a sunny day when you have just fallen in love as on a cloudy day when a relative has just died. Music is not just a score - you too are part of the music. Art includes you in the experience; your human imperfections are also part of the work.'"

the theory behind it was that the measles in the MMR vaccine would leave trace amounts of RNA in the intestines(none could be found when this was tested), which would then turn into "morphine-like substances"(no specific chemical named or found), causing non-specific colitis(bowel issues of varying kinds) which would then, somehow, cause Chron's Disease. that last part got changed to "it causes Autism" later on. Wakefield has since lost his medical license, as it was found that, among other problems, he and his team medically abused children to try and create the evidence to back up their claims.

Oh hey pals, new AO3 scam just hit!

Just like the tumblr scam where they pretend to be "the support team" this is also a scam.

I edited out the link because I GUARANTEE if you go to it you will get your computer hacked and your AO3 or discord account stolen.

I am so mad because I got this 30 seconds after posting a new fic.

DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS.

No legitimate website support will EVER contact you like this!
