Animal cells: permeable, squishy, weak yet adaptable Plant cells: rigid, self-contained, angular.

Grafting plants onto other plants is like building with legos, grafting animals to animals is like trying to stack jellyfish into the shape of the eiffel tower. It's a wonder we can even do it at all.

Except for the fact that she literally died from it after instead of just faking a bruise or two. I'm very much NOT a "believe all women" person but reading the details given and the aftermath, it seems likely that he did. I definitely think there were some embellishments on the narrative told, but I do think she either had an underlying condition, or she died of the bleeding caused by the rape.

As a guy who did this EXACT thing as a kid, thank you. Just like the guy that taught me, you gave me the skills and means to live where my parents weren't physically and emotionally abusing me. I left the house at 15, and lived in the forests of New Hampshire until I turned 17, and then joined the Navy right before my birthday so that I could turn 18 in boot camp. Those two years of my life were difficult, but I WOULD have killed myself if I had to live with my parents during that time. She thanks you, and will never forget you.

The only, and I mean ONLY thing I'd change here is to put a reflective edge around the obelisk, one that moves as the blue light from the rift edge and the pink light from the clouds overpower each other. I like the obelisk being vantablackā„¢ but it was hard for my eyes to focus on it. Other than that, fucking incredible work. I love the perspective, it feels like all the air around me would be getting sucked past and into the rift. The atmosphere you've created is incredible!
