My warden's tarot card
you said how I got your address? don't even worry about that
hippos
did you know that hippos have red "sweat"?
alot of people's first thought is that the hippo is either bleeding or such but that's really not the case.
you see, hippos dont actually sweat. they dont have sweat glands. instead this discharge is being released from mucous glands.
this discharge acts as a kind of sunscreen for them, I mean, after all they do stand in direct sun for most of the day. the fluid is kinda like a skin moisturizer, water repellent, and antibiotic for them.
the fluid on the hippo appears red in full sunlight, but its actually a mixture of colours. the main pigments in this discharge is orange and red, and scientists actually have names for these coloured pigments.
the red pigement is called; "hipposudoric acid"
the orange pigment is called; "norhipposudoric acid"
the orange pigment will abodrb ultraviolet raditaion that is given off by the sun, while the red pigment acts as an antibody.
hippos skin is extremly sentisve to dying out and sunburn, so this oily discharges job is meant to help them with that.
my sources for this were:

did y'all know that scorpions glow under uv (ultraviolet) lights?
the outer layer of the scorpions exoskeleton is called a cuticle. on the cuticle is a thin layer called, the hyaline layer. this is the layer on the scorpions exoskeleton that reacts to the uv (ultraviolet) lights and makes it glow.
what's even cooler is that scientists figured out that this thin layer on the cuticle of the exoskeleton is really really strong. so strong in fact that if you were to shine a uv(ultraviolet) light on a dead, or fossilized scorpion, it would still glow like it does when it's alive.
also, when the scientists preserve the scorpion specimens in jars, the hyaline layer will make the liquid of the jar glow as well.
one thing to point out though is, after molting, the scorpions don't glow immediately. the cuticles would have to first completely harden in order for the hyaline layer of the cuticle to glow under the light.
scientists don't know for sure why the scorpions glow though.

Some ideas for my twins dragon age inquisitior's tarot card @kittentinklefuntime
Iron Bull lost his eye while saying trans rights and he’d do it again.
2nd day of my anatomy study. I'm starting to get worn out from drawing people and decided that I should focus on something else. Horses seemed like the best fit.
Day 10/31
Windmills and Grasslands - windmill from beginning of the game (Far Cry 5)
Day 9/31
Ancient Altar Room - John's torture room (Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn)
Day 8/31
Hall of Deities - Seeds' Grave (not from the game; made this on my own; on dutch's island in New Dawn)
The start of my anatomy study. This was definitely long overdue, but I figured i should give it a try now.
Random art I made :)

hello love! I’m needing help getting a message across. I made a post (it’s pinned) needing help with anyone who could donate a few dollars to my gofundme to help me with medicine for my blood disorder I’m suffering with as I re experience symptoms I experienced a couple years ago when I was experiencing kidney dysfunction. I’m also making potions to sell. I am seeking out the witch community and I need all my witches with me. if you could please rb I pray and thank you dearly for your kindness.
Of course! Go help this user everyone, witches gotta stick together and take care of one another <3
