I Can do the Research For You

Yes! What do you need help with?

Literally everything. How do you get diluted colors to not look muddy? Are there rules for choosing a color scheme? If you already have a blue color scheme, what do you use for shading?

Actually, I’ve been taking art classes and can help with these questions myself, if you want!

Okay, so to answer your first question, ya gotta be more bold. Depending on the situation, when you mix the colors, you don't want to blur the lines too much, unless it's a super smooth surface, like a pearl. (I'm only 89% sure that's what you mean by that question so if that's not what you mean, feel free to ask it again LMAO i'm just a dumbass)
For your second question, well, yes and no. On the one hand, if you want there to be a specified palette, yes, there can be guidelines for the color scheme. This is where the psychology of colors and how humans react to them comes into play, which, at first I thought seemed to be subjective, but it seemed pretty accurate so hey if it works, it works. If you want me to go into more detail on the psychology of color, let me know! I'd love to, I just worry that that's not what you're asking and I just explained this whole long ass thing and that's not what you needed lol.
Shading! Wow, I love and I hate shading. So! When it comes to shading colors, it depends! The method I use is, well, to use blue as a reference, the highlighting will be closer to a lighter green, and the shading will be closer to darker purple; the two colors next to blue on the color wheel. This helps liven the shading rather than bleak black and white shading.
It's much better to mix with colors than to add white and black, but that doesn't mean black and white are obsolete.

Literally everything. How do you get diluted colors to not look muddy? Are there rules for choosing a color scheme? If you already have a blue color scheme, what do you use for shading?

Actually, I’ve been taking art classes and can help with these questions myself, if you want!

Also you're 100% welcome to fact check what i just said,,,,,if i'm wrong I'd like to know LMAO

Okay, so to answer the first question, I think Aloe Vera already answered it pretty well, so I’m skipping that.

For the second question, it’s really up to you, but remember that colors that are very similar go well together for setting a specific mood, like blues, greens and purples for ocean, red, orange, and yellow for fire and sunsets. Complimentary colors work well when you are trying to make one thing stand out.

Third question, same advice, use greener blues or more purply blues. Tip: adding white to a color only makes it paler, if you are trying to have a different blue or whatever then add a color used to make it or a color next to it on the color wheel.

I hope this makes sense!

It's ok I only took like one art class and we just made different art projects using different mediums and that was it so I'm pretty much self taught too???

What combination of herbs is the most lethal? This one's not for my story.

This particular post gets fairly graphic [toxicity]. Discretion is advised

Okay so I couldn't find anything for One Specific Combination Of Herbs but there is a list for seven most deadliest herbs so that's all I can supply you with sorry!!

1. Water Hemlock (Cicuta Maculata)
   Closely related to poison hemlock (the plant that famously killed Socrates), water hemlock has been deemed "the most violently toxic plant in North America." A large wildflower in the carrot family, water hemlock resembles Queen Anne’s lace and is sometimes confused with edible parsnips or celery. However, water hemlock is infused with deadly cicutoxin, especially in its roots, and will rapidly generate potentially fatal symptoms in anyone unlucky enough to eat it. Painful convulsions, abdominal cramps, nausea, and death are common, and those who survive are often afflicted with amnesia or lasting tremors.
2. Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna)
   According to legend, Macbeth’s soldiers poisoned the invading Danes with wine made from the sweet fruit of deadly nightshade. Indeed, it is the sweetness of the berries that often lures children and unwitting adults to consume this lethal plant. A native of wooded or waste areas in central and southern Eurasia, deadly nightshade has dull green leaves and shiny black berries about the size of cherries. Nightshade contains atropine and scopolamine in its stems, leaves, berries, and roots, and causes paralysis in the involuntary muscles of the body, including the heart. Even physical contact with the leaves may cause skin irritation.
3. White Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima)
   An innocuous plant, white snakeroot was responsible for the death of Abraham Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks. White snakeroot is a North American herb with flat-topped clusters of small white flowers and contains a toxic alcohol known as trematol. Unlike those who have died from directly ingesting deadly plants, poor Nancy Hanks was poisoned by simply drinking the milk of a cow who had grazed on the plant. Indeed, both the meat and milk from poisoned livestock can pass the toxin to human consumers. Symptoms of "milk poisoning" include loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, abdominal discomfort, reddened tongue, abnormal acidity of the blood, and death. Luckily farmers are now aware of this life-threatening hazard and make efforts remove the plant from animal pastures.
4. Castor Bean (Ricinus communis)
   Widely grown as an ornamental, the castor bean is an attractive plant native to Africa. While the processed seeds are the source of castor oil, they naturally contain the poison ricin and are deadly in small amounts. It only takes one or two seeds to kill a child and up to eight to kill an adult. Ricin works by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins within cells and can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death. The poison was used in 1978 to assassinate Georgi Markov, a journalist who spoke out against the Bulgarian government, and has been mailed to several U.S. politicians in failed terrorism attempts. Most fatalities are the result of accidental ingestion by children and pets.
5. Rosary Pea (Abrus precatorius)
   Also called jequirity beans, these piously-named seeds contain abrin, an extremely deadly ribosome-inhibiting protein. Rosary peas are native to tropical areas and are often used in jewelry and prayer rosaries. While the seeds are not poisonous if intact, seeds that are scratched, broken, or chewed can be lethal. It only takes 3 micrograms of abrin to kill an adult, less than the amount of poison in one seed, and it is said that numerous jewelry makers have been made ill or died after accidentally pricking their fingers while working with the seeds. Like ricin, abrin prevents protein synthesis within cells and can cause organ failure within four days.
6. Oleander (Nerium oleander)
   Described by Pliny the Elder in Ancient Rome, oleander is a beautiful plant known for its striking flowers. Though commonly grown as a hedge and ornamental, all parts of the oleander plant are deadly and contain lethal cardiac glycosides known as oleandrin and neriine. If eaten, oleander can cause vomiting, diarrhea, erratic pulse, seizures, coma, and death, and contact with the leaves and sap is known to be a skin irritant to some people. Indeed, the toxins in oleander are so strong that people have become ill after eating honey made by bees that visited the flowers! Fortunately, fatalities from oleander poisoning are rare, as the plant is very bitter and thus quickly deters anyone sampling the vegetation.
7. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
   Tobacco is the most widely grown commercial non-food plant in the world. All parts of the plant, especially its leaves, contain the toxic alkaloids nicotine and anabasine, and can be fatal if eaten. Despite its designation as a cardiac poison, nicotine from tobacco is widely consumed around the world and is both psychoactive and addictive. Tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year, making it perhaps the most deadly plant in the world.

Glad I could help!

Is it possible to rupture eight or nine vital organs in cats with a slash to the belly?

Don’t ask.

What part of the body bleeds the least when cut?

Best place to receive a large cut without any great danger except blood loss.

These two are similar so imma do em in one post thank you kanye very cool

This particular post gets fairly graphic [discusses blood loss in humans]. Discretion is advised.

Ok first @YeeHaw-Im-Gay

From the looks of it, either the palm of your hand or your lower abdomen without reaching too close to the hips. This is where the veins AND arteries are more faint, but arteries do bleed tons more than veins. It also depends on how deep the cut is. If you know any middle schooler, you might know that specific kid that would take a safety pin or needle and pin it through their skin, not cutting deep enough to even produce the slightest of blood. However, if you cut deep enough, that really increases the chances of hitting an artery, which means bleeding out is your main concern.

Next, @The-Althalosian

Pretty sure it's the head. This is where the skin is the thinnest and the blood pressure is slightly higher, slowing down blood clotting. I also know this because when my older sister was a baby (i don't think i was born yet, but i hear this story often enough), she ended up hitting her head and bleeding a lot. It terrified my mom (the blood soaked about two bath towels, pretty traumatizing for your first child, especially when she was so young) and the hospital was hardly worried about it. They knew it'd bleed a lot but once they stopped the bleeding there was no problem. (Except maybe a small scar, but I'm not sure if the scar is still there, I'm not even positive she needed stitches)

Hope these help!
haha, i have a thesis to research but instead imma look up how to most brutally murder my cat:)

Is it possible to rupture eight or nine vital organs in cats with a slash to the belly?

This particular post gets fairly graphic [discusses blood in cats]. Discretion is advised

Possible? Yes. Plausible? Well…
We're going under the impression that this is deep enough to actually reach the vital organs.
A large, deep slash could probably get the lung, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidney, colon, pyloric sphincter, and both intestines, but that would take a slash that reaches from around his front paws to above his back paws, so it's gotta be large in proportion to the cat. Other than that, you could maybe get the lung, heart and liver from a slash to the belly.
NOTE: I couldn't find anyone who actually makes this conclusion (sorry, it's a specific thing lol). So I looked at the anatomy of a cat's vital organs and,,,,may or may not have used my cat as reference, and drawn the conclusion myself. I myself am not going to say that my answer is wholly correct, but from what I looked up, this is what I could come up with.

Okay that answers my question about the validity of Scourge killing Tigerstar. Thank you!

Okay that answers my question about the validity of Scourge killing Tigerstar. Thank you!

Me, who missed out on a whole generation of a potentially amazing childhood series: is that Warriors

YES.

Okay so this is a little random and probably seems lazy of me to ask, but could you find some general facts about Canada? I'm on a little bit of a Pokemon kick and decided that I need to make a Pokemon region based on Canada. Stuff like plant and animal life, geology, and general culture would be great, please! If this is too broad of a topic, than let me know. I don't want to bother you too much. Thank you for your time! :)

The more general, the easier it is to search for, haha. Also, do not worry about bothering me. This is my secret evil scheme to learn random facts (i accidentally retain the information that I look up for y'all) and to also productively procrastinate so hey man! I was wanting someone to post another request too haha.
I'll try my best to format this as digestible as possible but I have a habit of formatting things the way I like them so bear with me.
(Edit: I just finished writing the plant life, and,,,I'm so sorry this is a lot of information to take in but hey! It's all in one spot 4 u now so there is that)

Canada!

Preface
The major biomes in Canada are Tundra, Boreal Forest, Mountain Forest , Grassland, and Deciduous Forest. Tundra is the dominant land type of the Arctic and subarctic regions. Mountain forests are the highest elevation of the biomes in Canada.
Flora
Trees
-Deciduous forest, located in the eastern to central region of Canada, contains trees like vine maple, Douglas maple, red maple, Ohio buckeye and various birch and beech species. These deciduous trees can be found in forests growing around stream banks, shorelines and forest edges.
-Boreal forests, which take of 80% of the country's environment hold conifer trees, under the tundra biome of Canada. Conifer trees are the most common trees of Canada. Some conifers found in Canada’s boreal forests include the Pacific silver fir, the arbutus, and multiple varieties of spruce and cedar.
-Whereas the eastern white cedar can grow to 15 to 20 metres tall, its western relation, the western red cedar, can reach a whopping 60 metres. Both can live several hundred years. If the tree has been growing at high altitudes and on cliffs and in cracks where root growth is limited, however, it appears stunted, like small shrubs. They both have green scaly leaves, and their mature bark is brown and stringy-looking. Their seed cones are both small – about one centimetre - but the western species has outward turning points at the end of the scales, whereas the eastern species’ scales are rounded at the tips.
-Winterberry typically grows to three or four metres tall. Its leaves are widest above the middle with a pointed tip with fine teeth along the edges. Flowers are small and white and either male or female, with only one flower type per plant. Winterberry fruit is bright red-orange and stay on the tree long after the leaves have fallen. They tend to be plump for the beginning of winter but shrivel up by the end of the season.
-The Christmas fern reaches 10 to 60 cm long with fronds (leaves) that have approximately 20 to 40 pairs of pinnae (leaflets). The pinnae are pointy at the tip, while the base has an upward pointing lobe that resembles a thumb in a very long mitten or toes in a sock. The upper pinnae of several fronds are fertile and much smaller, bearing the sori (spore clusters, similar to seeds) on their undersides.

Bushes n' Shrubs
-Bushes and shrubs can be found in upland areas, coastal areas and along shorelines. A few examples of bushes and shrubs found in Canada include green alder, saskatoon juneberry, chokecherry, wild lilac and stinky rabbitbrush.
-Bearberry leaves are dark green and thick with smooth margins arranged alternatively on the stem; they remain on the bush year-round. Small clusters of white-pink flowers hang down from the tips of branches. This low-growing shrub slowly spreads to form mats, making it a useful groundcover for areas that are not suitable for a lawn or flower garden.
-The bog willow enjoys a rich, wet bog like environment and the stem can grow from 50 to 150 centimetres tall. The leaves alternate, smooth, ovate to elliptic, two to five centimetres long, up to two cm wide, with green on top and bluish-green underneath. It carries green to brown catkins from May to June. This shrub has all male or all female catkins. This willow also has oval or pear-shaped capsules that contain woolly seeds in its two halves.
-Our native dogwoods have four-season appeal. With spring come flowers, sometimes showy, sometimes fragrant. Summer brings berries that contrast nicely with the leaves. Autumn leaves are eye-catching, with shades of red and orange and, for some species, a late show of bright berries. For one species, at least, snowy winter affords a stunning contrast of bright red branches against the white snow.
-Ferns are known for their lacy look, with leaves (called fronds) divided into leaflets (pinnae). Some species’ leaflets are divided just once, as with the common polypody and Christmas ferns, while others, such as the lady fern, are divided twice (bipinnate).
-Firs, like spruces, are noticeable from a distance because of a conical form whose base is wider than its crown. Balsam and subalpine firs that grow in the open, they have something of a triangular look with a very pointed crown. When growing in dense stands, lower branches may be absent or without needles, having died off from reduced sun exposure and so having changed the shape of the tree.
-If you look closely at the blossoms of the high bush cranberry, you will see they are clusters of small yellowish flowers in the centre and showy white flowers around the edge. The showy flowers are not fertile and will fall off when the other flowers are pollinated and begin to form fruit. The leaves of the high bush cranberry are similar to a maple leaf but with three distinct lobes, hence the Latin name trilobum. Sometimes the leaves have a smooth margin, or edge, and sometimes they have some teeth or serrations. Variability can exist on the same shrub.
-With Serviceberries, white flowers usually bloom before leaves are fully grown. Each flower has five long bright white petals. The flowers usually grow in clusters at the end of new growth, although at least one Canadian species has flowers growing from the leaf axils. They bloom anywhere from March to June, depending on the species and its location. The red or dark purple fruit are typically sweet and juicy, although some, like Amelanchier arborea are drier and don’t have as much flavour. They are all edible although, with local conditions such as soil and weather dictating their exact taste and juiciness.
-The Virginia Creeper has a woody stem and leaves composed of five leaflets, arranged palmately — like fingers that spread out from the palm of your hand. Its white flowers bloom by the end of the summer producing dark yet bright blue fruit in the early fall. This is in striking contrast to the brilliant red of its fall leaves.

Flowers
So my search brought up about 19 flowers that reside in Canada. I can list them and describe 'em quickly, but I won't go into deep detail. (Unless you want me to, which I'm willing to! I just don't want it to be more than you asked for)
-Asters: Blooming from late summer to late fall, aster flower have many long thin petals. They have composite flower heads which means that each flower is actually a group of smaller flowers consisting of ray flowers (petals) surrounding disk flowers (the centre).
-Bloodroot: The bloodroot flower resembles a water lily and has 8–16 white petals around a golden yellow centre. Bloodroot gets its name from its underground stems, also called rhizomes, that contain a red juice. This also inspired its Latin name, Sanguinaria, which means bloody or blood red.
-Blue Flag Iris: Blue flag grows from 60 to 90 centimetres tall at maturity. Several showy, purple-blue blooms appear from the end of May to early July.
-Cacti of Canada: There are two main groups, or genus, of cacti that grow in Canada. Coryphantha (also known as Escobaria) has one native species. It is round with one or a few showy flowers growing on its top. Opuntia, the other group of cacti in Canada, has three native species all of which have flattened oval pads that branch off from one another, and flowers growing at their tips.
-Canada Columbine: Anywhere from mid-June to early August, their flower stems reach up above the foliage with blooms that are either nodding or upright.
-Common Bluet-Bluets are low-growing perennials whose mound of leaves may reach one or two centimetres while the stalked flowers take the plant height up to 10 or 15 centimetres.
-Dense-Flowered Lupine: They are attached to the stem by very hairy stalks. Each axis carries several pealike blooms which are white but can be tinged with pink or yellow colours and can be seen in bloom from May to October.
-Foamflower: While there is variety within the two species, both species and their respective forms, share some basic characteristics. Foamflowers have white blooms that grow on a spike that rises above large heart-shaped or maple-like leaves that can form an attractive ground cover.
-Harebells: Harebells have bell-shaped purple flowers with five pointed lobes at the tips of each flower. They bloom on thick stalks, from which grow long, thin grass-like leaves.
-Liatris: Liatris have a tall spike of summer blooms that are both soft to touch and in appearance. When in full bloom, some species have the appearance of a solid spire while others, such as Liatris ligulistylis, have blooms that are spaced enough apart to have a knobby look.
-Milkweed: Their leaves and stems typically have a milky sap, hence their name, Milkweed. Ripe milkweed seed pods are elongated and, once hardened, open with a slit along one side to reveal many brown seeds attached to thin silky white fibres that fluff up to catch the wind and carry their seeds farther afield.
-Native Sunflower: One typical characteristic includes leaves that are widest at the middle or base, giving it a pointed look near the outer tip.
-Northern Bush Honeysuckle: The northern bush honeysuckle blooms during the summer with small clusters of tubular yellow flowers found in leaf axils (where the leaves join the stem) and at the tip of the stem. The flowers turn orange-red once pollinated by bees, butterflies and other pollinators that make use of the plant’s nectar and pollen.
-Pasque: Pasque flower grows up to 30 centimetres tall and forms a rounded clump, which increases yearly.
-Pearly Everlasting: Pearly everlasting can grow to up to nearly a metre tall and can eventually bush out equally as wide. The clusters of white flowers have yellow centres and bloom for many weeks from mid-summer through to early fall.
-Philadelphia Fleabane: The flowers are clusters of pinkish, pale purple or white blossoms that can be seen in bloom from May to October.
-Trout Lily: The youngsters are flowerless and have only one leaf, while older plants produce two leaves and a single flower.
-Wild Roses: Native roses have pink blossoms, ranging from very pale to deep tones. They typically bloom around the end of June or early July.
-Wood Poppy: The flower is deep yellow with four petals each 2 to 5 cm long; occur in clusters of up to four, blooming in May and early June. The fruit is a greyish hairy seed pod capsule divided into three or four longitudinal segments. All parts have a bitter yellow sap.

Fauna
Small Mammals
-The Canadian tundra is home only to a few small mammal species, such as lemmings, foxes and rabbits. The forests and grasslands of the country are home to a variety of small mammals like porcupine, rabbits, gray foxes, badgers, raccoons, chipmunks and squirrels.
Large Mammals
-Wolves are one of the most commonly found large mammals in Canada, as they can be found in all regions of the country. Other large mammals that can be found, primarily in the forests and grasslands of Canada, include bobcats, cougars and bears. The only bear not found in the forests and grasslands is the polar bear, which is found exclusively in the tundra region.
-Various species of hoofstock can be found from the grasslands of Canada deep into the tundra. Caribou, musk oxen and reindeer all live in the cold regions of the tundra. Moose, elk, mountain goats and deer all live in the forests and grasslands.
Birds
-The snowy owl, arctic tern, snow bunting and ptarmigan are all found in the tundra region of the country. There are many other bird species that can be found throughout other Canadian biomes, including, woodpecker, black swift, band-tailed pigeon, northern pigmy-owl, bobolink, crow and heron.
Fish
Bluegill, green sunfish, brook trout, bull trout, rainbow trout, common carp, fathead minnow, channel catfish, flathead catfish, lake chub, longnose gar, spotted gar, northern pike, muskellunge, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, rock bass, ruffe, walleye, white sucker, yellow perch, bowfin.

Geology
The oldest rocks are preserved in the stable Archean crustal blocks of which the largest include the Superior, Slave, Hearne and North Atlantic cratons. These blocks are also the repository for much of Canada’s gold, copper, iron, zinc and diamonds. The Archean cratons were stitched together by Paleoproterozoic mountain belts that resulted in supercontinent Nuna and host important deposits of nickel, copper and platinum group elements. The Mesoproterozoic is dominated by the Grenville orogen another old mountain belt which extends from central Ontario to Labrador. Sedimentary basins of these ages are prominently represented on the opposite (northwest) margin of the Canadian Shield in the Northwest Territories.

The modern geometry of Canada has its origins in the breakup of the super continent Rodinia. Neoproterozoic rifting led to new ocean basins and to trailing continental margins now prominently represented in the Appalachians, western Cordillera and Arctic Islands. Plate tectonics in the lower Paleozoic introduced oceanic crust to the rock record of Newfoundland and southern Quebec and accretion of exotic crustal fragments in Atlantic Canada and the High Arctic. Similarly, warm ocean conditions in Cambrian to Devonian time produced widespread carbonate platforms over the St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Western Interior, Mackenzie Corridor, Hudson Bay and the southern Arctic.

Events of the Mesozoic are prominently represented by the accretion of continental fragments to the western margin of North America. This remained a tectonically active region into Eocene time and during this interval produced important deposits of copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, gold, silver, tungsten and other commodities. The depositional record of these events is partly recorded in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin which is a prolific producer of oil, gas and coal. Hydrocarbons are also an important part of the sediment accumulation story since the Jurassic off the East Coast. Likewise, the tectonically active Cretaceous to Eocene record in the Arctic Islands relates to the origin of the Arctic Ocean and the independent plate motions of Greenland.

Culture
Influence
Throughout Canada's history, its culture has been influenced by European culture and traditions, especially British and French, and by its own indigenous cultures. Over time, elements of the cultures of Canada's immigrant populations have become incorporated to form a Canadian cultural mosaic. The population has also been influenced by American culture because of a shared language, proximity, television and migration between the two countries.

Political Culture
Canadian governments at the federal level have a tradition of liberalism, and govern with a moderate, centrist political ideology. Canada's egalitarian approach to governance emphasizing social justice and multiculturalism, is based on selective immigration, social integration, and suppression of far-right politics that has wide public and political support. Peace, order, and good government are constitutional goals of the Canadian government.

Humour
There are several traditions in Canadian humour in both English and French. While these traditions are distinct and at times very different, there are common themes that relate to Canadians' shared history and geopolitical situation in the Western Hemisphere and the world. Various trends can be noted in Canadian comedy. One trend is the portrayal of a "typical" Canadian family in an ongoing radio or television series. Other trends include outright absurdity, and political and cultural satire. Irony, parody, satire, and self-deprecation are arguably the primary characteristics of Canadian humour.

Visual Art
The majority of indigenous artworks preserved in museum collections date from the period after European contact and show evidence of the creative adoption and adaptation of European trade goods such as metal and glass beads. Canadian sculpture has been enriched by the walrus ivory, muskox horn and caribou antler and soapstone carvings by the Inuit artists. These carvings show objects and activities from the daily life, myths and legends of the Inuit. Inuit art since the 1950s has been the traditional gift given to foreign dignitaries by the Canadian government.

Cuisine
Common contenders for the Canadian national food include poutine and butter tarts. Other popular Canadian made foods include indigenous fried bread bannock, French tourtière, Kraft Dinner, ketchup chips, date squares, nanaimo bars, back bacon, and the caesar cocktail. Canada is the birthplace and world's largest producer of maple syrup.
