OK, so I've gotten lazy and this is only my second post in six days. I'm trying for quality over quantity here, and it took me a while to figure this one out. But here we go...
This is an illustration for a song by Yuno about swirling your hand around in a puddle and watching everything loop around in circles. It's therapeutic. Vocals are done with a Vocaloid voice named Yukari Yuzuki but...this girl is not Yukari Yuzuki. She's an original character, I guess.
This art was posted 16 years ago, but the Valley of the Witches just became official this year as section of Ghibli Park. I thought this Kiki/Nausicaä mashup was pretty practical. A tiny witch on a broom with a bazooka would be a great air defender and difficult to shoot down. Hopefully Kiki's carrying some flares to deal with any heat-seeking missiles that come her way.
I warned you! This not-subtle ad for Levi's jeans is the dumbest crap I've posted since Fat. For this Jackass reject to float like that, those pants would have to be inflated to about a 15-foot sphere. It's dumb fun, though, and the music is good.
Now I'm thinking of a character like Primer who can choose her abilities for each encounter by equipping different colors. Primer's such a cool character.
My last post didn't go over all that well, so here's some anime-ass anime art for a VTuber from Holostars. Oh man, you guys are not gonna like what I have planned for Sunday. It's more bogus than Luma's Dream Machine. More than this.
I've started keeping track of some anniversaries and goroawase days. June 16 can be read as mu-juuroku, which sounds like mujuuryoku, the Japanese word for zero gravity. Incidentally, June 16, 1963 is the day Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Oh, and today is also Father's Day here in the US, so shout out to all the other dads I've got floating around here.
Next week, we've got Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday on Sunday and UFO Day on Monday. Let's try to get relevant floaty things posted here on those days.
Wait, is it tethered? It's a poor quality photo, so maybe it is? Beachey and Knabenshue were out there flying that dirigible every afternoon and evening for a week, so maybe wind was a factor? Like, if they were worried about crashing into the Washington Monument, the thing is made of marble bricks, so it wouldn't do any damage to the monument.
118 years ago, America's first stunt pilot flew circles around the Washington Monument and then landed on the White House lawn to try to greet the President. Nowadays, Washington, DC has all these capitol-specific airspace rules that diidn't have personal dirigibles in mind. Drones are banned city-wide too. It's not to say that this stunt is impossible to do legally nowadays, but good luck getting permits to do this.
It's a misfire, but from the cover of that Levitation 4 Dummies book, I think she nailed it! Things like her hair, clothes, and candle flames behave like gravity is still kind of working.
Floating Is Fun
