Carles Dalmau’s Webtoon series really nails the incredible feeling of a lucid dream. Even the most surreal interactions are so intuitive, it feels like I was born to do this. He really gets what’s so cool about fantasy situations. This isn’t even that much about floating, but it really scratches that itch for me. Sweet dreams!
It’s fine; this post can stay. It’s got more votes than anything I’ve posted this week, so it’s reaching the right people.
Oi! You posted this three weeks ago! I think you’ve got two of this in your bot’s queue, since Cybermoe got this twice too. It happens. I have to weed duplicates out of my post queue every now and then.
A lot of times, when we see an anime character hanging from a bunch of balloons, they’ll be holding onto them with superhuman upper arm strength like their own body weight is no problem. Not this time, though. It’s Akaya Kirihara and Masaharu Nio from The Prince of Tennis, who are athletes to begin with, and this pose is pretty much how they’d hang if there was only room to hang with one hand. And it’s the cover for a yaoi doijinshi, so there’s that.
It’s TGS time again, and while I usually post Kukka’s main show key visual, the online VR event makes more sense for us this time. The theme is “Festival held on “Game Islands,” islands floating in the sky”, and there’s so many things floating in so many different ways that I couldn’t ignore it.
Thank you! A thread I just posted made it to Lemmy instances within 15 minutes. The thread that didn’t federate two days ago has found its way there too. Jerry is the best instance admin and Fedia.io is worth paying money for.
I don’t remember that part of Hansel and Gretel. Did the old witch put a spell on that candy?
No kbin.melroy.org subscribers that I know of. I don’t know where I’d check if I could.
Another Mbin instance kbin.earth federates with us but doesn’t have yesterday’s post right this second. You can cause that post to federate by clicking here to search kbin.earth for that fedia.io URL. A few seconds after someone clicks that link, the post should appear on kbin.earth.
OK, I’m glad it’s not just me. A few days ago, it took about 6 hours to reach Lemmy instances, and a post I made yesterday didn’t federate at all… I was able to get my most recent post to appear on kbin.melroy.org by searching for its fedia.io URL there. I don’t think Lemmy has a similar mechanism, though.
This one’s been in my post queue since before Floating Is Fun actually started. It looks like this girl is learning a lot about the power she has. It’s tricky, because Sin:cK shows us a lot of rough sketches and none of them have any names or tags to distinguish them from each other.
Just make the main link a New York Times gift article link. Those aren’t paywalled. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah.html?unlocked_article_code=1.L04.4Yla.tf3LG-_hbGcb&smid=url-share
The 1900 Paris Exhibition attracted the world’s best aeronauts and inventors, including Alberto Santos-Dumont, a wealthy Brazilian aviation pioneer who built the world’s first motorized aircraft. With members of the International Congress of Aeronauts of watching and filming him, Santos-Dumont demonstrated that his airship can fly into the wind, even with a broken rudder. Some even credit Santos-Dumont with the first airplane that could take off on its own, but the Wright Brothers beat him to it by a few years by using a launch system.
Mary Poppins doesn’t only fly with umbrellas, you know. She’s in an elite group of characters who qualify for Floating Is Fun multiple times under different tags. What did Angela Lansbury put in these balloons?
I apologize for the gap between posts here. I didn’t forget about my airheads here! I encountered some other unexpected floating objects and they’ve been living rent-free in my head ever since. I asked about them and I’ll post one when I get the chance.
[email protected] makes a strong case for “video games are art”, especially appealing to my floaty tendencies. I’m afraid of it because it’s free-to-play and I’ll never own the game and it’ll always ask me for more money. Still, I find myself attracted to it like a moth to the flame. I must play this sometime.
@[email protected] , can @[email protected] take a crack at this? SauceNAO can’t find this at all.
⑨/⑨ is upon us, and it’s tradition to post Cirno from Touhou! Cirno is upside-down here, so this pose is a ⑥ instead. Cool backflip, but not a ⑨.
This one was tricky to source. Hana Augustine is anti-AI art and has been deleting her art from platforms that train AIs. I had the Behance one saved for this week, but it’s been deleted and the other non-Glazed uploads of this are probably getting deleted soon. If this happens, I can upload a new version of this to Fedia, but I’m not sure it would federate to other instances.
Yay! It looks like I successfully crossposted something @[email protected] posted on Lemmy! Back on Reddit, whenever I was about to post some art, I’d check other subreddits for it and crosspost them if possible. No need to have multiple uploads, and I want to help our airheads here to find other like-minded communities. If you like my posts here, [email protected] is definitely worth following as well.
From the title, I guess a deity took over this area and made gravity optional. Float if you want to, and play around with how floating and non-floating objects interact.
In Japanese internet fandom, 10/01 is Glasses Day because when written in kanji, 一〇〇一 looks like a pair of glasses. I went through my post queue looking for floating glasses-wearing characters and found this witch. Yes, we’re going to see a lot of witches here in October, but this one’s floating in space! I wonder why her hand looks like Pearl from Spongebob Squarepants.
