rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:
This is magenta, and not pink. Unlike pink, magenta doesn’t actually exist. Our brain just invents magenta to serve as what it considers a logical bridge between red and violet, which each exist at opposite ends of a linear spectrum.
TL;DR this color is fake (and also I hate it)
Wait til you learn about Stygean Blue
Your brain is a badly-designed hot mess of bootstrapped chemistry that will tell you that all kinds of shit is happening that has no correlation to physical reality, including time travel. It just makes things up. Your brain is guessing about what’s happening when your eyes saccade, what’s happening in your blind spot, and what the majority of the visible light spectrum looks like, and you don’t know it’s happening because it doesn’t aid your survival to become aware that a lot of what you see is fake.
The human eye only has three types of color sensitive cones, which detect red, blue, and green light. Your brain is making up every other color you perceive.
Let’s have a little fun with that thought. This is the visible spectrum of light.
You will of course note that yellow is on the chart. Yellow has a discreet wavelength, and is therefore a distinct physical color. But we can’t see it.
“Sorry, what the fuck?”
What we call yellow is just what our brain shrugs and spits out when our red and green cones are equally stimulated. We have light receptors that can pick up on the physical spectrum of light we call yellow: that’s why yellow things don’t just look like moving black blocks to us. But your brain has no fucking idea what the color yellow looks like.
Some animals have eyes that can perceive the color yellow! Goldfish have a yellow cone in their eyes. If they could talk, they could tell us what yellow looks like. But we wouldn’t be able to understand it.
What your brain actually sees of the color spectrum:
We can measure the wavelength of light, so we know that when we see ‘yellow,’ we are seeing light in that 550-ish nanometers range. But we don’t have a cone in our eyes that can pick that up. Your brain just has a very consistent guess about what color that wavelength of light could be. We decided to name that guess ‘yellow.’ We can’t imagine what yellow really looks like any more than a dog can imagine the color red.
Here’s the funny thing: your brain is never perceiving just one photon of light at a time. Something like 2*10⁸ photons per second are hitting your retina under normal conditions. Your brain doesn’t individually process all of them. So it averages them out. It grabs a bunch of photons all coming from the same direction, with the same pattern, and goes, “yeah, that cup is blue, fuck it, next.”
That’s how colors blend in our eyes. So sure, if a photon of light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers bounces into our eyes, we see what we call “yellow.” But if we see two photons at the same time, coming from the same object, one of which is 500 nms and the other of which is 600 nms, your brain will average them out and you will still see yellow even though none of the light you just saw was 550 nms.
So how does magenta factor into this?
Well, as we’ve just established, when your brain sees light from two different slices of the visible light spectrum, it will try to just average them together. Green plus red is yellow, fuck it. If it’s more red than green, we’ll call that ‘orange.’ Literally who gives a shit, we’re trying to forage over here. There are bears out here and it’s so scary.
What happens if you take the average of blue and red light, which we perceive to be magenta? What’s the centerpoint of that line?
Fucking green.
Hey, that’s not gonna work? We live on a planet where EVERYTHING IS GREEN. If something is NOT green, that means it’s either food, or a potential source of danger, and either way your brain wants you to know about it.
So your brain goes, WHOOPS. Okay - this is fine. We already made up yellow, orange, cyan, and violet. We’ll just make up another color. Something that looks really, really different from green.
And so it made up magenta.
So, physics-wise, is magenta “real?”
No; there’s no single wavelength of light that corresponds to magenta. But you’re rarely seeing only a single wavelength of light anyway. And even when you are, every color other than RGB is a dart thrown on the wall by your meat computer. This is the CIE Chromaticity Diagram:
Explaining this thing is a little more than I want to take on on a Saturday morning, but I’ve included a link above that goes into it a little more. The point is that only the colors that actually touch the ‘outline’ of the shape actually correspond to a specific wavelength of light. All of the other colors are blends of multiple wavelengths. So magenta isn’t special.
Given that color is just a fun trick your brain is playing on you to help you find food and avoid danger, is magenta real?
Yeah, absolutely. Or at least, it’s just as real as most of what we see. It’s what we see when we mix up blue and red. It would be disastrous from a survival standpoint to perceive that color as green, so we don’t. Because it’s not green. Light that’s green has a wavelength of around 510 nm. Stuff that’s magenta bounces back light that is both ~400 and ~700. Your brain knows the difference. So it fills in the gap for you, with the best guess it has, same as it does with your blind spot.
The perception of color exists within your brain, and your brain says you see magenta. So you see magenta.
So I googled Stygian Blue and…
Yall.
FORBIDDEN.
HOW TO SEE THE FORBIDDEN COLOURS
Hyperbolic Orange is the color my soul is
Dark tumblr show me the forbidden colors
We are back on this again.
My brain hurts.
i fucking love the human brain, it’s like if bethesda made an animal
You bet your ass I made this.
Feeling crafty.

Crochet laughs for your dash today. Unsure of original source. Happy to add if anyone knows. :-)
Reblog if you’re rebel scum ♥ [x]

OH MY GOD. UM, I REALLY WANT THIS ON MY LEFT SHOULDER….. UMMMMMM…… IT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE IDEA TO JUST GO OUT AN GET A TATTOOO???? UMMM!!!!!!!!!
“Rebel” Acrylic and gouache on Rives BFK mounted on wood panel 9″ x 12″ Here’s my piece inspired by Princess Leia for Gallery 1988’s Star Wars: Art Awakens gallery show and charity auction, a collaboration between Gallery 1988, Disney, LucasFilm, and Bad Robot. Pieces in the show will be auctioned off for charity on eBay on Friday, November 13th. If you’re in Los Angeles, you can see the artwork in person on Saturday and Sunday (November 14th and 15th) from 11am–10pm at Gallery 1988 (West). Find out more info here and support a good cause!
Almost everything in this piece is a reference from the original Star Wars trilogy: the symbols of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, band patches for Max Rebo Band and the Mos Eisley Cantina band, “Rebel scum,” tattoos of Alderaan and Leia’s blaster, modified X-wing pilot gloves, the vest Leia wore on Hoth, her pants from Endor, the chain she used to strangle Jabba, and of course her hair from A New Hope. If you couldn’t tell, I had a lot of fun with this!
@mylifeasacostumegeek I sense a new cosplay group idea.
I didn’t even see your comment, @remarkellycrafts, and I was already at NEW COSPLAY IDEA!!!!
I wish I was still near you all @mylifeasacostumegeek and @remarkellycrafts because I want to do a group like this with you guys someday!
@charminglyeclectic, name a con we’ll all be at, and this can totally go down. @remarkellycrafts, you in?
@mylifeasacostumegeek @remarkellycrafts My only other cons after Katsu are Colossal and Banzai :| I don’t think you guys go to those. Decreased cons for the year to save up for a potential move back South hopefully at the end of the year.
@charminglyeclectic, @remarkellycrafts, welp, if we wanted to plan for a con next year, it could be do able. I mean, we’re gonna have Star Wars movies for at least the next 5 years straight so it’s not like it’s going to go out of season. And punk jackets are totally a thing that benefit from a long gestational cycle. Yes, you do not make a punk jacket, you give birth to it. Clearly.
@charminglyeclectic @mylifeasacostumegeek No worries. Next year is better for me as this year is all about some wedding so very few cons for me. Let's get these babies cooking.

When you cosplay as Hannah from Rat Queens, you are required to flip the bird in basically every photo.
Finished the shaggoth!! Yassssssss!
Almost done with the Shaggoth! Just gotta keep sewing the eyes on and then whip stitch the tentacles in place. Also now I just want to crochet a ton of tentacled ladies and monster babes.
More awesome photos this time all from Photosnxs!

NBC has stuck a fork in Hannibal. The Peacock network has cancelled Bryan Fuller's acclaimed, lush thriller, TVLine has confirmed. The show's current third season — slated to wrap up in late August...
I’M IN MOURNING. ;___;
LONG LIVE HANNIBAL
(on Amazon Prime or Netflix or something)
WHAT THE FUCK. BUT IT’S FUCKING PERFECT??? PERFECT!!!! DOES NBC NOT RELISE WHAT PERFECTION THEY HAVE???
ARGHHHH NOOOOOOOO
Yay!! I can finally reveal my amigurumi of Deathface Ginny that I made for kellysue! It was so so much fun to make her. The felt behind the eyes is actually painted in various shades of grey (har har) to recreate the beautiful art in Pretty Deadly. I also thought it would help make her eyes look a bit more hollow.
The hardest part of this one was the color changes for the face. For some reason, I had a hell of a time getting the color changes to line up in each row. It worked out though.
Pretty sure this is the first time I made an amigurumi who wasn’t smiling and it was really liberating. I’d love to do more that are scowling.
Of course I had to do a duckface selfie (pseudo selfie since @mylifeasacostumegeek took the photo) with her and edthehyena.
