For the one on the right, I think that's right over the moment when almost everyone's talking about Call like an object, grabbing her and everything. Then Ripley8 gives her this protective, comforting gesture, and you see them realize their kinship as creatures designed as tools, women who are very literally objectified. After so much loneliness they have each other.
The quality kinda sucks for these gifs but I love these moments where Ripley or Call touches the other's arm/shoulder
It's such a small detail between Ripley and Call that isn't really talked about a lot, it's these small moments that make me love these two even more

Strange Bedfellows: these unprecedented photos show a leafcutter bee sharing its nest with a wolfspider
I stumbled across these photos while I was looking up information on leafcutter bees, and I just thought that this was too cool not to share. Captured by an amateur photographer named Laurence Sanders, the photos were taken in Queensland, Australia several years ago, and they quickly garnered the attention of both entomologists and arachnologists.
The leafcutter bee (Megachile macularis) can be seen fetching freshly-cut leaves, which she uses to line the inner walls of her nest. The wolfspider moves aside as the bee approaches, allowing her to enter the nest, and then she simply watches as the leaf is positioned along the inner wall.
Once the leaf is in position, they seem to inspect the nest together, sitting side-by-side in the entryway; the bee eventually flies off again to gather more leaves, while the wolfspider climbs back into the burrow.
The leafcutter bee seems completely at ease in the presence of the wolfspider, which is normally a voracious predator, and the wolfspider is equally unfazed by the fact that it shares its burrow with an enormous bee.
The photographer encountered this bizarre scene by accident, and he then captured a series of images over the course of about 2 days (these are just a few of the photos that were taken). During that 2-day period, the bee was seen entering the nest with pieces of foliage dozens of times, gradually constructing the walls and brood chambers of its nest, and the spider was clearly occupying the same burrow, but they did not exhibit any signs of aggression toward one another.
The photos have been examined by various entomologists and arachnologists, and those experts seem ubiquitously surprised by the behavior that the images depict. The curator of entomology at Victoria Museum, Dr. Ken Walker, noted that this may be the very first time that this behavior has ever been documented, while Dr. Robert Raven, an arachnid expert at the Queensland Museum, described it as a "bizarre" situation.
This arrangement is completely unheard of, and the images are a fascinating sight to behold.

“He was trying to find out what he was, and he was afraid of what he would find.
The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life—even when he was a great man with the world at his feet—he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand. There is no need for us to try to understand it. We do not have to dabble in a place which he preferred to keep secret.”

How do you like your coffee this #AniMonday ?
Another conceptual pencil test I did for Blue Sky Studios. We were toying with the idea that the wizard class had more of a "tech" style magic that involved tools and mechanical devices. So I thought it might be fun exploring how a wizard would make coffee in the morning. This is one I wish I took further, did a couple in-betweens, but it was just made to get a concept across. I think it did its job.

FUCK YES DANCE WITH THE WORMS
Dancing with the worms—a compilation of our favorite Alciopid worm dance moves.
Alciopid polychaetes have large, complex eyes with corneas, irises, lenses, and other structures that give them excellent vision. These wondrous worms are related to the earthworms we find in our backyards, and in many respects, they are fairly similar—both have a segmented body and bristles on each segment. The midwater version, however, is completely transparent. 👀

Wilding out Celia theory:
- There's two Celias
- One from this universe, one from TMA
- They share a body
- When Celia wakes up after sleepwalking, that's the Celia of TMAGP
- When Celia's at the OIAR, that's the Celia of TMA
- one of them"s a baddie
*tinfoil noises*
- TMA Celia has become an avatar of the stranger
