#its embryos. its embryos

[outragedslime]

out of all special interests god couldve bestowed unto me he rly chose like. the strangest one to bring up in conversation

#its embryos. its embryos #kolo emerges #like. idk something about developmental biology. its so fascinating to me #i love it so much #and ive just grasped onto embryos as Thing I Enjoy Greatly #during christmas we were making gingerbread cookies #my family watched unamused as i decorated a candycane shape into a chick embryo #around hh18. it had a nice curve i could use #i have made felted embryos #i made an embryo themed dragon in flight rising #i even made an embryo skin but it unfortunately didnt pass content policy #i am collecting embryo pokemon as much as i can in poke go rn #aka musharna and the solosis lines #im. SDGHFFs #embyo <3 #next year ill be working with them for my research project #im so excited #im not sure what project im gonna do just yet #but the lab here works a lot with tendon development and immobilisation effect #so potentially something related to that #i love embyos :) #theyre so cute and fun and interesting #i cant wait to watch some grow next year !!

@its-leethee I felt weird reblogging my own huge post for this lmao

I'm totally willing to accept all of that without question (Christian upbringing, I guess?) but what melts my brain out my ears is if Harrow and Viren had swapped bodies, would Viren's dark magic corruption stay with his body, or with his spirit/essence?

I mean, that and "wait why does the coin spell appear to literally draw the spirit out of the body, but then the body also disappears"

#i don't actually know much about what science knows about memory and consciousness now #neuroscience or whatever #i DID learn while researching that meta that bicephaly happens because of conditions during embryonic development rather than genetics #we just don't know WHAT conditions even for reptiles and amphibians where its most common... much less mammals #but we can make tadpole embryos develop two heads by putting the eggs in a centrifuge (citation needed) #only 1 in 100000 live snakes have two heads btw

Ok, so weird question, but do you ship ryo x embry?

....is it bad if I do?

I dunno i worry that its bad to ship the bc they are both kids

But like they are so cute

And I can definately see it when they are older

ALSO THERE SHIP NAMES PERFECT

LIKE EMBRYO WTH THATS SUCH A COOL SHIP NAME

I actually used to ship them both in a polyship with Necrotary, but then I realized Sunny x Necrotary is apparantly a thing

fun drohnen fact: they love to fight. They will fight eachother for whatever reason but interestingly it actually deescalates most things 80% of the time. Disputes will generally have the two parties beat the crap out of eachother and in the winded daze afterwards they'll come to agreement and for this reason, their politics is insane and politicians oftentimes leap over their counters to beat the shit out of their opponents and nobody does anything about it because, well, it'll probably chill them out OR they'll agree on something.

This is, weirdly enough, probably because fighting is also a little romantic. Since Drohnen residents are all only One Sex and kids are expensive little tots who grow up to be the size of buildings, only one of them have the kid and that is generally decided on whoever loses/falls over (Drohnen pregnancies are WAY less scary than human ones, especially because they're used to laying eggs every 3 months - the loser generally doesn't mind it.).

Sometimes it's seen as a little suspicious when a fight lasts too short since romantic fighting is generally shorter than most fighting. much to the dismay of politicians trying to wrap up a squabble to get back to business

#shipping politicians on drohnen is a plentiful fandom #also on the topic of drohnen pregnancies their abortions are also interesting. #abortions aren't really big news because... they're used to eating them #Their own eggs are a delicacy in Drohnen and on their “periods” they turn their eggs into a nice omelette as a treat. #If THEY'RE not fans of eggs they'll sell them to restaurants #So if a pregnancy is unwanted and they lay an egg they just. eat it. or break it if the thought of eating your child is distressing #It IS seen as unethical if you eat it too late into its development but that's a WHILE and the threshold for “morally ok or not” is REAL BI #eggs with embryos instead of yolks inside are expensive delicacies #ntls-24722 #drohnen #“ah. this egg is delicious. the chef's diet is wonderful” #speculative biology

People making fan prime fields and nox nyctores ocs in the blazblue social media au

LMAO FUCK

i was gonna try to write a fucking my immortal type intro for a prime field oc but i cant i cant make it remotely funny enough. very funny thought tho. just "i see a group of sector seven guards. i stick up my middle finger at them."

#cawing #at age 6 i was born without a face #id imagine it'd be like... mu. since generally im pretty sure normal civilians are like COMPLETELY in the dark about any prime field bs #much less the fact that mu was allegedly Exploded #but if there was some public knowledge and people DID know mu was like Dead Supposedly but not that noel Is Her #can you imagine. caaaaan yoooou imagine. people being like omg what if IM the 12th prime field unit....... im just built different #that actually brings up a different and funnier school of thought #what if like. some researcher who was working on all those projects and shit like. who happened to be out of the lab that day #sick or on a trip or something. but they Know about everything and they know mu is like Supposed To Be Dead #and theyre just walking down the street in like.... yabiko. #and see noel in full mu attire (....so less clothes than usual) fighting like idk jin or tager or mind eater'd tsubaki #maybe in the embryo where shit is already super fucked anyway and everyones memories are a fucking disaster #but they see her and drop their groceries like HEY?????????? WHAT THE FUCK! #very funny mental image #imagine seeing your little looooong dead lab rat just throwing down in the middle of the street. unique emotion i think #equally as funny is the thought that like. after noel awakens to her Mu Powers and stuff. #word gets out to the Scientific Community through idk kokonoe probably. maybe relius chatting with someone and bringing it up #like its nothing. but it also occurs to me: who the fuck talks to either of them that doesnt work for/with them. #i feel like to everyone but underlings/associates theyre fucking insufferable tbh. and even then most people they work with are just like #its a paycheck/it furthers my goals. so fine. (or like lambda and tager who have no say in the matter) #but like Word Gets Out and theres just a bunch of scientists in their blazblue discord chat like YO???? :POGCHAMP: #some of them maybe kinda just tracking her movements not in a creep way but just to see what the fuck is going on cause like #hey what the fuck! youre supposed to be dead! youre a kusanagi now? you tried to kill GOD??? this is fucking wild! #blazblueposting

I'm pretty sure some data entries you get from scanning suggest that the life in 4546b can, in fact, self fertilize and possess both male and female parts.

My guess is it's more common for Leviathans to self fertilize since their numbers, as apex predators, would need to stay fairly low and thus have small clutches along with tending towards being quite territorial about their claimed hunting grounds, but they could also mate as normal if they wanted.

yeah! according to the wiki, a majority of fauna are simultaneous hermaphrodites, and i didnt make celestial leviathans an exception to this. i wouldnt be surprised if they were capable of being autogamous but i expect that it wouldnt be as common as sexual reproduction

but yeah, i expect sexual reproduction >>> autogamy. kind of the whole point is to swap genes and get a good amount of genetic diversity. if too many generations self-fertilize, then the offspring would have more homozygous genes

lets assume this gene is Aa, so Aa x Aa = 25% AA, 50% Aa, 25% aa

and if the offspring turns out to have AA or aa for this gene, then any further offspring gotten from self-fertilizing would have the exact same copy because theres really no other variation from that point forth. do that to enough genes, and that becomes a problem with the low genetic diversity

so yeah! asexual reproduction is still on the table, just that i imagine sexual reproduction would be the more common of the 2, even if the leviathans are territorial

#ask #anon #asexual reproduction is still of a hell of a valid strategy though #look at those female-only lizards! #however they have 2 strategies at least for the new mexico whiptail #which is the species im currently looking at #and its to either asexually reproduce via parthenogenesis #or to fuck the males of a different lizard species thats also in the same genus #wait parthenogenesis is pretty interesting #its when a gamete (sex cell) doesnt combine with another gamete and still produces an embryo #the resulting offspring can have either all or half of the parents clones #and are called full or half clones respectively #oh there are so many breeding strategies. good lord #whatever i wrote in the main post might not be entirely true because there is just. So Many #and i am but one person furiously googling a lot of things #coasting through using my childhood obsession of biology #i mean. yeah i took bio classes but i wouldnt count them because i hardly remember a thing from those #and they were more for fun #reproduction past gametes and diploid haploid etc was just not covered #feel free to correct me if im wrong on any front! please correct me #i dont want to give misinfo and also im fucking vibing over here chilling with my pulled up google pages

@rosaliewarda sent me this submission: "Some people here seem to think women find abortion an easy solution to have fun without consequences. This while also saying that abortion is painful and brutal. Well yes it is. No woman would say the opposite. But deciding for women whether or not they have the right to go through this painful procedure is also brutal. What about the victims of rape? Would you also tell them that they should have been careful?"

I usually don't bring up cases of rape because that is an incredibly small group, and most pro-abortionists still want abortion legal regardless of rape being the reason for pregnancy. The average rate of pregnancy that results from unprotected sex is 2-4%. A survey of U.S. women's reasons for choosing abortion found that only one percent reported "rape" as a reason and less than one half of one percent reported that rape was the main reason.

If a woman is raped, I suggest she seek medical care immediately. Do not hesitate. If the victim is not already pregnant from prior, freely-chosen sexual activity, has not yet ovulated (i.e. has not released an egg from her ovary into the fallopian tube where it could be fertilized by the attacker's sperm), the morning-after pill can reasonably be expected to prevent her from ovulating. Doctors can test the woman's LH levels, and if it's determined that her LH levels have spiked and she is ovulating, the morning-after pill will not be able to block the egg's release from her ovary, making it an abortifacient if used. So it should only be used to prevent ovulation. If she has already ovulated and conceived, then she should receive the utmost love and support in her pregnancy. I think the rapist shall be held liable for all of her hospital bills, child support payments, and every bill for that child. That's a law we need to push for. Like really push for.

I will never blame a woman for getting pregnant as a result of rape. She is the victim. But I don't believe she should abort her baby because it's not the baby's fault. "A hint is found in another study of 164 women who had rape pregnancies (conducted for the book Victims and Victors). In that study, the majority of those who had abortions said it only caused additional problems and the vast majority regretted having abortions. By contrast, among those who delivered the child, satisfaction was higher and none stated any regret for giving birth."

People need to stop scaring victims of rape into getting an abortion. It is not their rapist's baby; it's her baby. It is a social myth that abortion is her best option. It's not.

#submission #rape #rape victims #prolife #i know prolifers hate plan b #but if its only used in the very rare cases as a contraceptive then its fine because theres no embryo conceived #it can only be a contraceptive if shes not ovulating #catholic hospitals are very strict on its use for rape victims as a contraceptive #i wonder with states outlawing abortion #that those rules will apply as well3 #but theres also a lot of side effects to it #abortion #pro-life #pro life #anti abortion #rosaliewarda

Really really really wish sites wouldn't phrase things like "your baby" or "your pregnancy" when describing fetal development. I'm just doing research for a fanfic! This made up fictional character is the pregnant one, not me!

#was not expecting the dysphoria to be this bad from reading these articles lol #please please please just tell me the facts in third person #also trying to figure out when a fetus would be detectable with the force has been... fun #do midi-chlorians exist inside of sperm and egg cells? so they increase in number as the embryo grows? #how many midichlorians does there have to be before its detectable? #or would that be tied to brain development instead? #at what point would a pregnancy be noticeable to a force sensitive? #asking the real questions over here

Miranda’s relationship with The Connections.

(Note: this is a blend of canon and headcanon. cw for spanish flu aka a pandemic, child loss, miscarriage, child abuse, and general abuse bc shes a pos)

The game shows that Miranda not only held some connection with The Connections, but is responsible for oswell himself creating Umbrella. For the start of it all, 1909 is when Miranda gave birth to her daughter, Eva. in 1919, when eva was only 10 years old, she came in contact with the spanish flu and perished. note how she was ten years old at the time of her death.

miranda did have a husband at this time, the father of eva and a village doctor. it was an arranged relationship, and despite his desires for more children, his focus on his work kept him from continuing to try with miranda. she would be pregnant twice more, but never to term. partly due to her husband.

when the spanish flu started spreading, miranda wanted to keep eva home and safe, where she’d never come into contact with others that may infect her. unfortunately, due to her husbands line of work, his obsession with his career that overruled his interest in their family. he eventually obtained the spanish flu himself, and miraculously survived, but not before infecting eva and ultimately leading to her death. something he held miranda accountable for.

eva’s death broke miranda. the only person miranda ever loved, and who loved her. with her husbands mistreatment and abandonment, eva was all miranda had. she treated eva more as a friend, a lifeline, than simply a daughter. notably, she tried to control eva’s life as well, all in an effort to ‘keep her safe’, but also to prevent what happened to miranda from happening to eva.

upon eva’s death, miranda went to a cavern deep within the village to join her daughter. during this time, she found the megamycete. upon touching the overgrowth of pitch black fungus, memories of thousands of others who’s come in contact with, and perished by, the mold went through her mind. she even saw visions of eva’s body, and came to the conclusion that the mold was how she’d regain her daughter.

in a painful moment, the mold entered her body through various open wounds on miranda’s hands. it fused with her flesh, joining her and, due to her DNA differing from those it’d previously killed, instead joined together with miranda’s mind. consuming her thoughts and corrupting her entirely. her dark blue eyes became a brighter, near ghostly blue. her skin paled greatly, and she found the mold following her when she moved her hand. rather than death, she found herself reborn.

as miranda went back home, her husband found her and berated her, angered that she’d run away before they took the chance to replace eva. in a moment of fury, she pointed her palm towards him, and a root of mold plunged deep within his chest, killing him painfully. a grin spread on her lips at the control she held, and she abandoned his corpse on the mountain’s edge. the megamycete absorbing his body, leaving no traces behind.

upon miranda’s return to the village, she called upon the villagers to come see her. unwilling to listen at first, until they saw the roots form around her body. initially terrified, she walked to a sick man who desired freedom from his pain, and sliced his hand with the root of the mold. upon entering his bloodstream, the man seemed ‘cured’ of his ailments, and the villagers stared at the woman in disbelief. several more villagers, she ‘healed’, and soon enough they bowed to the woman of magic who healed their most sickly. in that moment, she declared herself the prophet of the black god… and claimed the title of mother miranda.

unbeknownst to the vilagers, the ‘cured’ were not cured at all. rather the mold took control of their bodies, and through miranda, make them appear well. she made them worship her through the control the megamycete gave her over them, and the infected convinced the uninfected that she was a true miracle for them all. her words spoken in their church to decree her miracles, the gifts she bestowed upon the village, and as she’d tell them, only their village as it was their home. as the descendants of the prior rulers of the village steadily left and returned, or in some cases, were taken, miranda continued her sermons. and taking volunteers as ‘trainees’ in the means of ‘spreading her gospel’, as means to explain their disappearances, miranda used them in experiments with the mold. over a centuries time, this is how she’d attain the four lords. claiming them as her children, but really only keeping them around to aid in control of the village. whereas failed experiments, often turning into lycans, would be sent away to keep the villagers alive for further experiments, eventually allowing heisenberg to take control of the hoarde.

in the 1950s is when she met oswell, whom she rescued from the freezing mountains. she kept him alive once she learned of his skill as a scientist, but he left upon realizing her only goal was to find a host for her daughter’s conscious she so truly believed still lived in the mold. he sent her messages still, though she rarely read them. no interest in his desire to ‘further evolution’, her only desire bringing eva back.

it was shortly after this time that she fully developed the ability to shapeshift, and started entering the village as an old hag to listen in on the villagers, and have the lycans or the lords slaughter any who planned to leave or stand against her.

around the year 2000, the crime syndicate, the connections, discovered miranda’s existence through files found belonging to oswell. they made contact with her upon discovery of her power, and her intention to bring her daughter back to life. with the desire to create a bioweapon that could easily sneak through a crowd unnoticed, they realized the potential in the megamycete, and told miranda they’d help bring eva back.

fully aware of their lies, she still agreed, intending to slaughter the entirety of them should the operation prove successful. she offered them samples of a weakened strain of the mold so they’d be unable to defeat her when the time came. eventually, after dozens of failed experiments, miranda joined the connections to help research herself. ultimately using her own DNA which led to the creation of eveline, the first successful experiment. even meeting her future handler, mia, and ensuring she’d be a decent guardian for the girl for the time being. 

Miranda aided in raising eveline for the first year, aging her to the appearance of a ten year old girl, vastly modifying her intellect, turning her into as perfect of a clone of eva as she could. evelines powers proved superior to the other projects, proved time and time again what a brilliant experiment she could be to miranda.

but not a daughter. even if she genetically was, and formed from miranda’s own petrified eggs, by all accounts was miranda’s biological daughter.. she still wasn’t considered good enough to be eva’s vessel. 

 by all accounts, eveline is genetically miranda’s daughter. however, due to her, ironically identical viewpoints as miranda, miranda viewed eveline as a failure, and left her with the connections. 

miranda did, however, keep in contact with the connections. kept up to date on information regarding eveline from lucas baker, though she showed little interest beyond how far even a weakened strain of the megamycete could grow. however, eventually, she’d learn of evelines death, and that ethan and mia, upon being infected with the megamycete, managed to create a daughter of their own... one miranda believed to be a perfect vessel for eva. 

#Ω my broken bones are mending Ω HEADCANON #a n y w a y s #i don't think ppl focus enough on the fact eveline was made from MIRANDAS EGGS #i think the game actually said her embryos but.... in that time period i dont think you could extract eggs and fertilize them yet #but in my mind at least miranda used the megamycete to do so #and if ANYTHING... the megamycete... fertilized... them... #so yea #unless they used some member of the connections but like #eveline wasn't just formed in a test tube and made she was literally formed from an embyo into a bioweapon #and its;;; kinda sad #esp since she was basically fucking injected w miranda's own fucking personality and miranda hates her #and deems her unworthy #WHEN THATS HER OWN BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER #not the original BUT STILL A B #IOLOGICAL DAUGHTER HELLO #this si shorter than i meant it to be but my brain shut off so #i'll just... split everything up into multiple hcs at some point ig

well. for anyone curious what the inside of an egg looks like after a few days of incubation, thought i would share. i apparently misjudged how long she had these. under a readmore just in case but dont worry, there’s still zero resemblance to an animal at this stage

#it was sitting for awhile so i cracked it and was like aw shit this is rotten Oh. interesting #info #chicken #stuck to the shell like that cause its been sitting. i assume #when youre incubatong eggs and candle them and can see a like. ring of blood around the edge #like this has #thats generally a sign the embryo has died

So dogs and cats can get abortion safely but women can’t...okay

#for context #its very very common for animals to come in for a spay and after opening them up they discover the embryos or whatevs #and its procedure to void the pregnancy for the animals overall health #I love love love animals and know this thru my extensive work with dogs and rescues but like. cmawn ma #n

need to stop writing SI fic where Orochimaru creates a baby with his own DNA and snake summons chakra + DNA

like it's only happened twice but

#one takes place before he starts in on human experimentation on already living humans #and the other takes place after hes done all that and gotten enough guided therapy to come to terms with the manipulation he did it under #any way. sorry Orochimaru. enjoy motherhood you little freak #hes like 18-20 in the first fic the theory i have for why it makes sense is thst in canon the false wombs didnt work and all the potential #embryos died or never showed any brain activity or cognitive function and when it failed he turned all his brain power #into focusing on the state ordered and sanctioned human experimentation when this other thing was more of a permitted side quest #but in the fic he gets a little miracle baby! :^) surprise its me i am chewing on him because the snake dna gave me a mouth nose and snake #tail growing from my tail bone as well as human legs #fucking. get me out of here. look at this. what am i even saying. help.
