oh my god i just spent an hour and a half writing bullshit about that post. maybe ill finish it tomorrow maybe ill just be too embarrassed to post it. uh either way getting to spend a while reading about fallout spread and acute radiation sickness was fun.

#if i dont post it my thesis is that no they wouldnt get ARS but all of the stupid baubles finn kept from that time COULD be radioactive #not fabrics...unless he doesnt wash them... #but ehhhhh its tricky #on one hand you got the dust from fallout and yeah encased in ice stuff is gonna stay pretty dirty #so anybody who got turned into the snowman's toys mightve released some cs-137 into the area AGAIN after they got thawed #and then you have the groundwater seepage. which uh. haha #theres no rivers or creeks in junktown iirc so it'd be wellwater. and it only takes a few months for that stuff to seep down #and then uh lets talk about the elephant in the room alright? #i did consider neutron activation but honestly the amount of neutrons actually released by a nuke are very small and in a short burst #most of it is soaked up by the bomb casing (which contributes to fallout when the metal gets shredded in the blast) #so really you're just looking at the water the soil and whatevers going on with the people in the ice #the 2 culprits of fallout have half-lifes of 30 years give or take #so its been like what 12 years? its still a pretty hot zone #actually wouldnt it have been like 10? since snowman was around for a year or two? does it even matter actually no not really #but uhhhh id say if FnC and Simon were to get radiation sickness it would be from that fucking soup #kicking around in the crater would probably make them throw up at least #but theyre not gonna die #and uhh . that was probably the most merciful death finn could have gotten. given that he was pretty much at ground zero #the crown probably protected him from most of it but hes literally living on that same land that used to be his parents farm #he KEPT ALL THOSE THINGS #im just mad like STOP you need to MOVE you need to GET RID OF THAT HAT you will get TUMORS #kids your mother and i love you very much which is why we are living on the superfund site i caused 12 years ago . sorry
