Double Post, Tonight

[amuly]

Okay, I was trying to just fit all this into the Gwil's A/N for tonight, but it just got almost as long as the fucking fic, so I'm going to end up posting twice tonight. My apologies.

Orders of Business!

1.] Go vote over at jack_ianto_las . I'm still in it – barely – and I can't vote since I can't read fanfic during lent. So vote in place of me, fabulous readers!

2.] Tattoo. So. You fabulous internet friends of mine. I know you're a talented bunch. Are any of you particularly skilled graphic designers? I'm looking to get a tattoo designed, and I have a sort of rough idea THING of what I want to do, but I =/= art-savvy. I'd be willing to work out a deal w/ you for designing it: fic exchange, LJ v-gift – hell, I'd be willing to buy you a paid account if you can make me something good. So, anyone out there? (And I reserve the right to not like your art if you contact me. I mean, this WOULD be something going permanently on me, so I'm not going to try and save your feelings and getting it if I don't like it, you know? Sorry :{ )

Um.... Yes. Okay, I think that was it. So it wasn't quite as long as the fic itself, but it WAS getting too unwieldy for the author's note.

Anyway, see you in about an hour with Gwil!


Edit:

Just realized, after chatting w/ a_silver_story in the comments, that I need to explain this a little bit more. So:


I basically need someone with an artistic brain to combine these three things:



^Principle of Non-Contradiction (PNC)




^Kepler's 3rd Law of Planetary Motion



^An illustration of the method Socrates uses to demonstrate his recollection theory of knowledge as described in the "Meno".


I want to combine these in like, a pretty way. Basically I was thinking solar system model diagram, w/ the "P" equation (that's the PNC) as one of the foci, and then the Meno square (the square, obviously) as the form of the triangle who's area is getting cut out in the Kepler's third law (solar system thingy) diagram.

*wince* No.
(Sorry!)

The big DOT in the center (focus) can't be in the center.
Ellipse:

(*___*) <- two foci, on either side.

Circle:
(*) <- single center point, in the exact center

And the triangles DO need to differ in SHAPE, but not AREA (I know, this is ridiculous).
So, example:

Area of a triangle: 1/2(b*h)

So you can have a triangle 6x4, so fatter than it is tall, be the same area as a triangle 3x8, taller than it is fat. both of their areas = 12, but they have totally different dimensions. THAT'S how the two triangles need to be in the ellipse: one fat, one skinny, but both with the same area.

And the big dot needs to be off to one side (the fatter triangle needs to be the one closer to the focus, as well, as you can see in the diagram thingy).

I KNOW. IT'S A FUCKING MATH TATTOO. I'm so sorry! DDDDD:

OHHHHHHHHHHHH. Right I'm actually understanding now. See - I'm learning!

I'll sleep on it and cobble some more ideas together - with an ellipse, two different sized triangles with the same area, a sun, the equation, and the special square with the kisses in it.

And it will look cool.

I actually have some graph paper, so I can properly play around with the square background.
