#is that even a chemical reaction

[uncanny-tranny]

Please intentionally attempt to see the magic in everything. Everything is magic, even if you understand the "boring" reasons why things happen. Look at the magic in growing plants, the magic of your muscles flexing and retracting, the magic of your eyes and skull, the magic of a cat's purr.

It's all magic. Understanding the "why" is just understanding what makes things magical, it doesn't change that it's all significant and magic.

#positivity #this has helped with my sense of aimlessness personally. it isn't even about belief in religion or gd or anything like that #it's about genuine appreciation and enthusiasm for the world and universe you live in #i personally always disliked the 'why feel awe about [thing] when [long technical answer about how it works]' #yes a plant grows through chemical reactions. but that's still magic. why deny yourself awe and wonder? #i can tell you the chemical reactions which make your arm flex. but that doesn't mean it isn't magic💛💛💛

Bachira: Isagi is ignoring me? I'll just have to become stronger on my own and prove myself, I can't be left behind

Isagi: Bachira won't pass to me anymore? I'll just have to become stronger so he'll acknowledge me again. Can't lose our chemical reaction

#i just wanna do a good chemical reaction 👉👈 #u wont even kick the ball to me like u used too 🥺 #blue lock #i love these two #i have serious brain rot rn #bachira meguru #isagi yoichi #halp

#theres this feeling i get sometimes. i find it very hard to articulate. its part despair and part awe. dispair at how beautiful the world is #all those intricate little process coming together to organize the chaos. i dont kno y i feel it so deeply or y it hurts so much #because its just. no matters what horrible things r going on in the world. ur body is this miraculous collection of chemicals and reactions #mobile containers of water with a history that spirals back billions of years. and you can hear and see and experience and reflect #and when you die the world goes on spinning without you. if we as humans destroyed this planet past the part of our ability to inhabit it #it wouldnt even matter. there would be continued life past humanity. cosmically we r tiny and insignificant and we dont matter #but were beautiful and wonderful and infinity complex and knowing that leaves me in agony. because i want to kno everything right now but #mind is too small and i walk around with the disorientation of someone whos just been hit in thr face ans i cant focus enough to read #cant make the words make sense and i cant justify the time it would take to try. so i sit on my deck. in the sun. crying as i think about #how the light hit the grass in my front yard the last time i was home. how the cliffs in the backyard are ringed with red lines of iron #separated out as the water leached through the sandstone. how every avaliable surface is stained green as organisms reach upward toward #the sun. and its beautiful and i dont kno y im crying. maybe its bc i cant just throw everything aside and chase that feeling. im not #allowed to feel it. im not allowed to talk abt it in the way i want. bc im afraid no one cares as much as me in the same way. bc when i #talk abt what i study its obscure and academic and so far from what most ppl think abt that they get intimidated and dont try to understand #so i just try not to talk abt it. or maybe im just afraid. bc i have my 1st TA meeting tomorrow and i meet with my new advisor friday #and im worried and im afraid i wont b able to do this in a way that doesnt make me feel like im dying. bc i like to b busy and i like having #a strict schedule but if u throw me that knife im going to stab myself with it bc i dont kno how wield it as a tool without hurting myself #sure ill get the job done. but at what cost? whatever. ill try to b better this time. try to hold tight to the wonder. but that feels like #reaching out into forever. knowing ill never make contact. not knowing what im reaching for. #the closest approximation to the feeling i can find is that scene in the terror. where go0dsir is asking if god is there. any god. and it #doesnt matter bc he can see god in the landscape. in an environment that's so harsh and barren that its killing him slowly in the worst of #ways and its beautiful. its still beautiful to him. there is wonder here. and im wasting my time laying in a dark room crying bc i put #myself into a container so constrictive that the surface snaps and i come spilling out as an angry liquid. smearing away into nothing #unrelated

i would not be able to love will graham until his s3 self. like. he is soooo sweaty until s3. like. idk man i can get you a wet cloth and a hand towel if you need it, but pls do not touch me or come near me. you kinda smell bad dude. no, no, i get its the fever and encephalitis in your brain, that really sucks man, but i cannot stand body sweat and you are constantly covered in it and smell like wet dog. yeah, sorry, maybe we can re-connect in like 3 years? when do you get out of prison? yeah, maybe after that. well, anyway, maybe go take a shower before going anywhere else. have a nice day!

#hannibal fr was god's strongest soldier #i just know will smelled- reeked even #acrid wet dog sweaty body odor dead body corpse bloating embalming chemicals SMELLY #urgh sorry yall i just have a sensitive nose and a sensitive reaction to bad smells #idk how hannibal did it #maybe if will was a cat person and not a dog person i could have maybe had a crush on him but god. the smell. i cant imagine #also i just hate sweat. the two times people have asked to romantically hold my hand i had to decline after a few minutes #the palms were just.... too sweaty... it was gross #will graham #hannibal

i hate on furred slugcats and furred slugcat truthers but also i have takes like Arti doesnt have skin. cause shes dark red. she's all gored from her explosive powers. im insane for this but a broke clock strikes right twice a day about the furred slugcats

#ikildaman shut the fuck up #rainworld #WHERE ELSE do her explosions come from #if we are to do with the idea of slugcats being yknow. fucking SLUGS and covered in a mucus or slime or whatever as they should be #i can see arti being engineered (although it seems like she evolves rather) to produce a substance that interacts with said mucuslime #but this would absolutely leave her with wounds. as is implied by her perma-bruised eye #she might also just have Devices shoved into her ass and tail and back area idk im going with the chemical reaction pores idea for now #her desaturated midtone colour just really strikes me idk slugcats are usually pretty contrasting. as are most creatures in rw really #like even if shes not gored or whatever shes totally covered in soot and filth shes terrible

i wish we lived in a world where talking about suicide and suicidal ideation wasn't so taboo, treated with the sensitivity it deserves but not overcautious to the point everyone affected feels like they can't reach out or talk for fear of being institutionalised against their will

#suicide #suicidal ideation #i've grown up passively suicidal for as long as i can rememeber and honestly me talking about suicide is rarely ever a cry for help #if anything it's the healthiest thing for me to do bc sure i don't actively want to die but bottling this shit up to keep everyone around #me comfortable at all times is isolating. and i don't mean talking about suicide like mid-breakdown wanting to die type talk like obv be #concerned there. but i wouldn't be able to talk about a passing thought or talk about my progress with combating said thoughts or even joke #about the fact i wanted to die today but didn't yay me without some bitch somewhere being like um actually that's so manipulative go to #therapy get a diary you are only making yourself worse by letting yourself think these things #like yes i agree. time place audience consideration & an understanding that the subject is sensitive & not always welcome. but also why is #that. could it be that our lack of willingness to talk about suicidality is contributing to the hostile reaction in the face of ppl who #experience it which leads to more involuntary hospitalisation and in turn makes vulnerable ppl feel worse and unsupported #society has failed us bad like they'll have everyone believe that the only way to deal with suicidality or severe mental health problems is #to lock everyone away and chalk it up to a chemical imbalance. not saying everyone should suddenly be fine with the topic or forget #how to be courteous with boundaries but i do believe we are collectively hurting ourselves by refusing to engage conversation entirely #7

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the galaxy...

Me: "Tech, I need one of Crosshair's toothpicks, please."

Tech: "Why?"

Me: "It's for science."

Crosshair: "Why are you asking him and not me?"

Me: "Because you'd say no if I asked you and I know Tech knows where they are."

Crosshair: begins to protest until Tech just hands me a toothpick

Me: "Thank you!" proceeds to open oven and check that the cake baking in there is done with the toothpick

"Wrecker, Omega, Echo, the cake's done!"

Wrecker, Omega, and Echo from a distance: "Woohoo!"

Tech, straightening his goggles: "That is not for science."

Me: "Yes, it is, I needed to ensure the chemical reactions worked."

Crosshair: "Do I get cake?"

hbggg wanna write America and Australia asking old ppl (Scotland and prussia, china maybe) about the first high explosives which ends in them making fulminating gold and silver in scotlands garage, they get out the aqua reigis it's a fucking blast (ba dum tss).

But I don't have the chemistry knowledge

#Rather I do have the chemistry knowledge I just dont know how to convey it without sounding like a paper #pls send help I hate having science brainrot #The heam speaks #For context culminating silver is incredibly reactive. If you touch it with a lighted splint even if its wet it'll just fukin detonate on #Jack would love watching Gilbert and Alisdair argue about how to make fulminating silver and Alfred would be taking notes bc he wants #Imagine your uncle and some other crusty dude yelling at each other about how not to handle high explosives. Then it detonated #Everyone knows mercury fulminate they probably wouldn't go through that #WAIT THOSE 4 WOULD HAVE A SCIENCE CHANNEL #Alfred would go on 2 hour long explanations about astrophysics #And with Gilbert and alisdair they could easily talk for hours on shitty video quality about machines and their mechanisms and their histor #Gilbert and alisdair would have a whole series “What not to do with chemistry” basically making a lot of explosives #And things of questionable legal standing. Like carbon tetra chloride because we know alisdair doesn't throw shit out and probably has some #Organo-phosphates and other highly dangerous chemicals and compounds banned in the 60s to 90s in his shed #Alfred just casually talks about nuclear reactions. #Jack and guest appearances of zee would be examining animal and human biology in a sory of crack head way that people love. #He has a pretty large base of people who watch his videos. Short and quick forward but genuinely educational #While people like me are going to watch Alfred go on for hours about isotopes and allo tropes and isomers fission fusion the whole lot. #Alisdair and Gilbert's velideos constantly toe the line of legality. There is a lot if swearing and questionable health and safety

It's Flug'a birthday in 3 three days and I'm over here getting all sappy thinking about dancing in the living room with nothing but candlelight and a record player spinning ;w;,,

The number of posts I’ve been tagged in for the “My Year In Review” as one of peoples’ “top 5 blogs your reblogged from” is both startling and validating. Since one intention for this account is to reblog items that I think is either valuable for people to read due to political / social reasons *or* entertaining in a way that will bring a literal smile to their face on a bad day (and I know a lot of us have been having bad days), it’s nice to have confirmation that so many of you who opted to follow this blog feel the content I have reblogged is, indeed, worthy of continuing to be passed along to your own followers. Or, possibly you just like all my reblogs of cat photos, which is absolutely valid. I’m reblogging them catses for a reason, after all. ^ _ ^

#Lynati personal #I'm too exhausted to create much of my own original content these days so I'll take my enjoyment in cross-pollinating for y'all #The other main intention for this blog is to keep *myself* entertained and aware of what's going on in the world around me #and so that on bad days I can go back to my various tags and trigger the good brain chemical reactions by looking at the posts I've curated #In case you were curious #Anyway I hope I've helped make your day better or at least better-informed #even if that info is about chicken butts or creeping fungus or whale falls

me at first: wow i really love how shadow is written in idw! it's not perfect but it's so much better!

me watching shadow be turned into a zombot: oh

#honestly i don't even mind a more combative and angry shadow. the man is allowed to have ugly and illogical reactions to things w/ ptsd. #+ i can kinda be more ok with him being angry at sonic bc of the whole not letting him end mr. tinker thing. #i can very well see how that anger is justified in shadow's eyes. but. not him carelessly fighting zombots thinking he can't get infected. #but while he's not... really supposed to be AS good as sonic at the whole hero thing... he's not a total bonehead. #i feel like he'd at least consider the possibility considering it's not *really* a virus despite it's name. it's clearly a chemical thing. #which i assume the immunity he was created with doesn't account for lol and surely he'd at least THINK about that. #also just in general not crazy about how dismissive he's been of rouge. i know i know i knoW sega is being weird about team dark. #but to say they're not a team and 'not even friends' is insanity. and he wouldn't be dismissive of her anyway bc she's GOOD at what she doe #and shadow really only loses his patience with people when they're being stupid and hindering progress. #i have many feelings about shadow's characterization i'm sorry lol D: #out of chaos [ooc];

#The earliest versions of cake were actually flat. The closest resemblance to the cakes we enjoy today actually didn’t appear until the early #as before this time #they were raised with yeast and closer to bread than cakes. There’s more to baking than just mixing and heating the ingredients. In fact #cakes #cookies and bread are produced by complicated chemical reactions. Flour gives a baked good its structure #while baking powder or soda gives it airiness. Eggs are like the binding glue #oil and butter tenderize #sugar sweetens #and water gives moisture. When the dry and wet ingredients are combined #gluten is created by proteins from the flour bonding #while the baking powder or soda releases carbon dioxide #which makes the whole thing expand. After that #each ingredient competes to get water for itself #which is why putting them in the right order is important. Putting the ingredients in the oven is when the reactions get started. The starc #That’s why baking is more precise than other kinds of cooking. Even a slight difference in ingredients or methods makes chemistry happen di #if there’s too much baking powder or soda #those bubbles won’t be contained and will float to the top #making the cake sink. #One problem is that you don’t respect the comma. For example #“1 cup flour #sifted” ever confused you? What about the comma in “1/2 cup pecans #chopped”? The comma is telling you something very important. The way to fix it is with the comma telling you to first measure the ingredien #The second problem is You use liquid measuring cups for dry ingredients. Which means liquid measuring cups and dry measuring cups measure t #it’s enough that it could affect the texture of your final product. They use wet measuring cups (typically #the glass type you pour from) for everything liquid: water #oil #honey #milk #molasses #corn syrup

I need to call the pharmacy to refill my prescription. My pill bottle is on the bedside table. If I sit up I can reach it and get the Rx number and call the pharmacy and refill my meds. The idea of sitting up and reaching over is fucking unbearable and feels impossible to do. The pill bottle is in view. It is like 3 inches out of my reach. If I don't call it in today I won't have my refill in time for the holidays. I physically cannot make myself sit up and grab the bottle. This is what we in the business call absolute bullshit.

#yes im depressed what gave it away #its frankly embarrassing that I'm losing a fight with what surmounts to a messed up chemical reaction occuring inside a hunk of meat #getting my ass beat by shitty chemistry #im losing the struggle to fuckin elements and electricity #this is so cringefail dont look at me #my brain screwed up a step somewhere during the chemical reaction that is my mental functions #and now i cannot move 3 inches #like BABE youre setting the house on fire while you're still inside it #you are putting poison in your own dinner and then wondering why we feel like shit #stupid cringefail ass meat hunk can't even chemistry right

I got both my flu shot and my latest covid booster today so… pray for me?

#it is Almost funny the way my brain spends days before each of these shots freaking the fuck out #even though we have done this FOUR TIMES NOW and all of them have been FINE #it’s one of those things where i habe reached the point of LOGICALLY being able to #100% realize it is a silly and needless reaction #but brain chemicals are still giving me the worries for Days. and then i am fine two minutes after the shots. #anyways i’ve never had a flu shot before but none of the other covid shots gave me much trouble #so hopefully reaction will be minimal

the verge to create a set of ocs with the most gruesome backstories I’ve ever created

[yo by the way the tags are a little uh. Gruesome. Serious warning for that……..]

#bro I even have a whole concept for it #so uh #might as well share #Am I right??? #anyways #[ALSO BY THE WAY SERIOUS WARNING FOR THIS (THE TAGS) AS IT CONTAINS DISTURBING STUFF………] #the set of ocs doesn’t have a name itself #But basically the ocs were apart of a freakish incident in which they were most often murdered and decapitated #Although sometimes they were not #but their bodies would be modified in different ways #For example; an oc concept for this: Lanta. Her face had been dissolved by a very strong acidic mixture that had imploded on her face due t #the individuals (yes there’s more than one) adding something that made the reaction explosive. Afterwards they let Lanta’s body bleed out #and eventually they decapitated her body. They then put a lamp where her head was supposed to be and revived her using a #mysterious chemical that can bring people back to life. Not even I know okay #But either way she was brought back to life #and her head #instead of being a normal one #instead #was a lamp. #Pretty simple!
