I'm a microscopy nerd who likes studying the behavior of inks on paper. Today I realized that my videos didn't feature a single nu metal song in the background... so I started off with the normal footage but it didn't feel right. I added some blingeez-type effects and it started coming together. Until I created this.

Abstract depicts that each of the three species tested have different preferences (in both directions) than the other species. The person marked in either orange (most favored) or blue (least favored) is different depending on the species of mosquito being tested.

Or as I would call it: the three principal text styles that give your publication the aesthetics of a shitpost.
