I know there’s speculations about book 7 ending in may because of the soundtrack coming out then 🤔

And I think it would be poetic in the sense that May is silver bday and the “coming of age” aspect

But at the same time, there’s so many loose ends and other story aspects we haven’t explored that it just…would feel a bit rushed?? 🤔 unless they are planning to give us huge updates you know??

I don’t know, I kind of hope it doesn’t end in May because *gestures to book 7* I have so many questions?!?

And if they do end it… I hope it’s not a cliffhanger because me and a friend are planning to have a talk with the devs if that happens 🗡️🗡️

#but it would be sweet because think about it #all the dia cards have sleeping beauty in is you know #and sleeping beauty for the most part is silver #so it’s their regards and care for silver you know?? #BUT ALSO I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS?!? #so many things unanswered?!?! #hana rambles

Hey so you said you were doing physical chemistry- my school teacher ochem and inorganic at the same time so I am just gonna ask:

What the hell is up with the d orbitals? Like how they let transition metals change colour and act as catalysts? If you can, thank you!

Hey there!

Ohhhh the d-block elements are really cool! The d-orbitals are funky, what you're asking about here is pretty interesting. I wish I could help you with both of these concepts, but unfortunately we haven't covered catalysis yet, so I really don't feel qualified enough to talk about it. I can explain the part about changing colors though. It's all about the electrons, as usual <3

[Btw I'm actually studying this sort of thing in inorganic chem :D pchem is a whole different bag of bananas.]

So, the d-orbitals. I'm going to assume you're familiar with orbital diagrams - they'll come in handy here. With that in mind, please consider the following ions: Ti(4+), Cu(+), both of which are colorless, and then: Ti(3+) (purple) and Cu(2+) (blue). Sc(3+), Y(3+), and Zn(2+) are also colorless. See a pattern here? If not, let me help you out:

As you can see, all the colorless ions have either full or totally empty outer d-orbitals, while the colorful ions have unpaired electrons on their outer d-subshell.

Quick and necessary digression: why are things colorful anyway? You probably know what the general mechanism here is, but just in case you don't, the simplest explanation is that when a photon hits an electron in an atom, the electron can then jump up to a higher shell. Electrons don't like staying up there though, so an excited electron will quickly jump back down to its original shell and release a photon in the process - which we see as colors .

[Yes, it is more complicated than that. Yes, I did greatly simplify it. Please don't throw anything at me, dear physicist friends.]

Now, back to our orbitals.

If an ion's outer d-orbital is full, it means the electrons there have no space to "move". They can't jump from one square (or rather from one orbital) to another because as per Pauli's exclusion principle, there can only be two electrons in a single orbital. Similarly, if there are no electrons whatsoever in the d-orbitals, there's nothing to "jump". Duh. The substance is colorless.

However, unpaired electrons mean there's at least one square (orbital) that can still accommodate one extra electron without breaking Mr Pauli's heart. As photons hit the d-orbital electrons, they keep "moving up and down" and releasing photons in turn - which gives them their color.

This, too, is a huge simplification. In fact, the d-orbitals can also split into levels of different energy and it's those levels that the electrons actually jump between. It's called the crystal field theory and you can look it up if you really want to start crying violently and having nightmares every night. If you aren't in uni yet though, it really isn't necessary. I think my explanation should be enough. I sure do hope it can be helpful :)

#i need you to know i looked up catalysis too #but none of the textbooks i checked out had any satisfying explanations #and it's better to leave someone with an unanswered question than with a false answer #so i hope you won't be upset! #inbox #chemistry asks

Something so satisfying about the idea of Jason moving out of Gotham and moving in with Kyle in NY after all the drifting from place to place, self-discovery, and the death of his best friend. (Oh lord here we go, Jay's gonna write a half-baked fic again):

It's a shitty apartment, but Kyle offers up what little space he has to give Jason a home, because God knows the man needs a place to call home now. The closest thing he had to call home in a person is dead, or a family that doesn't even really see him as a person half the time so much as a problem to be fixed or contained; Kyle doesn't expect to take that place or be anything excessively important, but he does have a couch and a few extra cups of instant noodles he can share.

And then Jason lives there. He's been there for a month, and Kyle is noticing changes. Jason isn't anything like what Kyle expected when he first met him years ago; he calm, he's quiet, he's smart. He's multidimensional, and that never really rang true until Kyle noticed Jason seemed comfortable enough to let his guard down.

Kyle also notices other changes. Such as a lack of being hounded about rent by the landlord, an increase in actual food in the apartment, and a stack of books that used to occupy the floor on an actual bookshelf. He debates asking a lot of the time, but he never finds the right way. Instead, he leaves it alone for a year.

The year rounds out. Kyle finally asks, because his entire apartment doesn't look half as bad as it did when Jason moved in. He finds Jason in the kitchen, cooking, and the whole place smells like Kyle's childhood. Spices that make his nose tickle and his mouth water fill the air, and he finds Jason leaned against the counter, scrolling through his phone with one hand and stirring the pot on the stove with the other. He's humming, a tune Kyle can't place but recognizes, somehow.

"Hey, Jay?" Kyle starts, eyeing his roommate as Jason looks up and, be still his beating heart, smiles at him.

"Oh, hey." Jason says, putting his phone down on the counter. He's giving Kyle his full attention, a gesture he usually reserves for important conversation. "I would've texted you about dinner, but y'know. I kinda just started."

"Nah, that's fine." Kyle says, waving off the statement. "I did want to talk to you, though. About uh... the apartment?" He doesn't miss the way Jason's shoulders tense, the way his jaw sets. He curses himself as he realizes how that must have sounded, knowing Jason must be expecting the worst now.

"Sure. Let me just-" Jason says, turning to knock the heat on the stove top down to low. Kyle watches him, the way his fingers just slightly falter with the knob. He's nervous.

"Its nothing bad, Jay." Kyle says quickly, and almost as if he's said some magic word, Jason visibly relaxes. His hand draws back from the stove dial slowly, and he turns to look at Kyle. "Its just... have you been paying the backrent? And... all the furniture and the food- Jay, I can't afford to pay you back."

"Whoa, whoa, slow your roll, bud! Who said anything about paying me back?" Jason asks, furrowing his eyebrows as he leans back against the counter. "Dude, you're letting me live here, and between your day job and running around doing... whatever it is Lanterns do, I don't know your life, you don't exactly make the big bucks. The least I can do is help you keep your shithole in your hands. And respectfully, after week three, if I had to eat one more cup of shrimp-flavored noodles, I was gonna murder you in your sleep."

"Jason." Kyle sighs, tucking his hands in his pockets as he eyes the floor. "Thanks, man. I've been stressing out for a year now about where in God's name I was gonna find the means to pay you back for this."

"And now you can rest easy, dreamboat. Now, do you or do you not want me to finish dinner before the game? I'm not gonna sit here and listen to you bitch about missing anything again." Jason warns, lifting the spoon out of the pot to wave at Kyle in a mock-threat.

"Right, right. Let the chef work his magic, and we all go to ved happy." Kyle laughs, holds up his hands defensively as he moves to leave the kitchen area. He pauses then, leaning into the room again to eye Jason. "Oh, and Jay?"

"Hm?" Jason doesn't look up, eyes focused on his methodical stirring. Kyle grins to himself, deciding that if Jason is so comfortable with him as to call him fucking dreamboat directly to his face, he may as well enjoy it.

"You make a great housewife, sweetheart." He ducks just as a knife flies into the wallpaper beside his head, laughing as he scrambles away from the kitchen as a flurry of yelling in the heaviest Gotham accent he's ever heard barrels out the door after him.

"I'm so poisoning your food, Rayner!"

Narratively how do you think the QSMP should end?

Obviously this is VERY far away (thankfully, I'm too invested) but I was thinking about the story of the QSMP and what potential endings it could have. Do you guys want a happy ending where everyone leaves the island with the eggs? Or maybe a more tragic ending? Or if you think every character and egg should have their own personal ending like Q!Max, what ideas do you have? I JUST WANNA HEAR YALLS THOUGHTS IM SO CURIOUS

#i love all the characters so immediately i want them all to be happy and have a good ending #but i must admit.... #theres something about tragic ends or even better bittersweet endings that absolutely enthrall me #its much harder to pull off an ending like that so when its good it hits so much harder #oooo or an ambiguous ending i know people usually hate when theres unanswered questions but if it is done well i fucking love them #gives you so much to talk about and analyze #alright im done yapping #qsmp #quackity smp #quesadilla island

"Yona was just added bc Nintendo wants people to stop shipping sidlink!" Literally what the hell are you talking about

#yes nintendo is homophobic. no they do not give a singular shit about what their fanbase does??? what are you talking abouuuutttt #they literally dont care what people do as long as they get money??? like what #listen im upset abt yona having so many unanswered questions. mainly she came from another zora's domain #meaning she came from outside of hyrule. so that leads to a lot of questions. #but howww do you come to the conclusion that she was just added as a 'no homo' indicator #dont even get me started on the people genuinely unironically calling this queerbaiting. what are you onnnnnnn #'and oh but sidon said he used to see her as a sister! so its gross and wrong!' sidon literally thought out loud to links face abt how #had things been different and link had gotten married to mipha he would be his BROTHER IN LAW. SAID THAT OUT LOUD TO HIS FACE. so shh #imo. yona was added for one 'ohh wow exciting new character look at this' and two. as a way for sidon's trauma to be acknowledged #bc it was veeery briefely shown in botw. for like. a singular second if you snuck up on him at mipha's statue #but yona's defining scene in totk was her forcing sidon to confront that he wasn't being himself because of that trauma. and that #he needed to let go of the fear around it. if only temporary. because his people needed him. #so tbh?? sheis very important to the plot. she new mipha. admired her. knows why sidon still struggles with this and #how difficult and frightening everything becomes when he views the world through the lens of 'what if i lose someone again' #like. they added yona for his struggles to be spelled out to the audience even further #so to just boil her down to 'ewww woman gets in the way of my gaybies 😡😡😡'. hello. did you play the game. #do you even know who these characters are. quick gimme ten facts about sidons character that you didnt make up for shipping purposes.pronto

thinking about the identity crisis i went though as a kid cuz my parents had told me very simply that my mom was pashtun and my dad was punjabi and they were both from peshawar and that was that. understandably they had simplified it so much for me cuz i was a kid, but whenever other brown people asked where i was from or "what are you" and i mentioned punjabi and they'd be like oh wow where? lahore? and i'd just be like nope lol peshawar and they would press me about how my dad could be punjabi if he was from peshawar and i just didn't have an answer. when i got a little older, i started saying well borders are manmade, you don't necessarily have to be from one ethnicity cuz you're from a certain area (and i was right! i just didn't know at the time why i was right).

as i got older and i found out more about our family background, it all made more sense to me as i came to know that the punjabi side of us was allegedly from a great-great-great grandfather from gurdaspur who had moved to bannu way back when. but as my interest in linguistics and anthropology and history grew, i realized that my old explanation of "borders are manmade" was true anyway!!! prime examples being speakers of Hindko and Derawali, as well as the Hazarewal community in general. anyways, i could go on about this, but it's all just so endlessly fascinating that i wouldn't know where to stop so i'll stop now.

#also thinking about the fact that my dads family speaks derawali / seraiki and i keep wondering how his family managed to maintain such a #strong punjabi identity despite being only a fraction punjabi 'by blood' and living in kpk for generations #their ancestral home is in bannu and they have no ties to gurdaspur anymore as far as i know #and we have more recent kashmiri and tibetan ancestors but that gets completely overlooked (that could prob be for patriarchal reasons too #since i rmr my dad once saying 'you are what your dad is' which is so stupid and makes no sense. made me roll my eyes so hard) #but anyways im wondering if any of his great-grandparents or whoever were originally from bannu/surrounding areas and thats why they kept #the language OH BUT IM ALSO REMEMBERING NOW my grandma grew up in gujarat (present day pakistan) and also both my grandparents lived in #qadian in india for quite some time in their youth bc they were ahmadi #wondering how many of my other ancestors lived in qadian as well since they all very strongly identify as ahmadi #qadian is in punjab so maybe they married people there as well!!! #anyways just... so many unanswered questions!

YES:

-you enter the church.

-there’s a man on the left hand side, tucked behind a piano that’s facing out.

-he is the only thing you can see on that side of the church, though you don’t look around yet, your eyes can not leave him just now.

-despite the fact that he has many candles on top of it, you can not see inside his hood, even with the golden glow.

-you can tell the song is coming from him, but it didn’t get louder when you walked into the room, though it has been accompanied by the piano, instead of just his voice.

-he doesn’t seem bothered by your presence.

-you can feel eyes on your back.

-do you turn around?

-yes -no

Is it safe to assume that the Celestial allowed the Infinity Train to enter the kverse even though it wasn't part of the plan?

Maybe the Train itself is a Celestial... o.O

i watched the chestnut man, deadwind, the valhalla murders and possibly one more i'm forgetting and the last semi similar show i'd seen mentioned was black spot. and i kept putting it off cause it was in french. no further comment.

but i finally sat down and watched it and honestly? i liked it more than i thought i would. i mean they introduced a gay man with a guinea pig that's nicknamed teddy bear. you got me sold there. but also people just kept dying. and surprise, it was murder. that was also murder. also murder happened here. look we'll kill someone on screen. oh boy, another murder! you're not going to believe this, murder. i liked that. they went in saying the crime rate was high in that town and they committed. y'all got a problem but damn. continue. tell me about the latest murder by all means.

#black spot #IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER SIMILAR REC PLEASE LET ME KNOW #i normally don't care about gore or murder whatsoever #but there was one scene in season two that had me cringing #and they didn't even show it visually #i was out here like nope. can't sit through this #i am guessing there's no season 3 though by the release date of 2019 #which is sad #because i think they had a lot of potential for another season #questions left unanswered! i mean i can take a guess and build my theories #but it's not the same as the show going here is how it all fits together :)

I've got some fics in the works over on my main that will somewhat incorporate tales and explain how talesgames is NOT canon in the Reneagde AU and that talesVRworld (the theory that tales takes place inside a VR environment made by Faz Ent to test their projects and possible layouts of the megaplex) IS canon in this AU, so I figured that I'd make my stance on talesgames VERY clear.

I don't think that tales are canon to the games. At MOST, tales takes place in a VR testing environment.

The games are canon to tales, but tales is not canon to the games. Like how outside of crossovers that are not canon to either source game, Chelinka from Ring of Fates and Shirma from Chocobo Tales can never meet because they are not in the same world. Final Fantasy allegory because it's the other biggest game series that I can think of that has "the world of [series name]" mean a bunch of completely independent worlds that are not always the same world. Also if you want to go a different route,

spoilers for Bravely Default incoming.

There's hundreds of thousands of different Luxendarcs, each a bit different from one another. What happened in the first world you were in didn't happen in the other worlds you went to. Things were different. In one of the worlds, Til was the Norende survivor, not Tiz. If a side game that follows that world only were to be released, saying "the world of Bravely Default" and "the world of Luxendarc" would both be correct, but ultimately, NOTHING THAT HAPPENS THERE WOULD REALLY IMPACT THE WORLD BD1'S HEROS OF LIGHT ARE FROM (aside from one of the connected worlds you don't see during the Ouroboros fight probably having Til and Olivia cheering on Tiz, Agnès, Edea, and Ringabell BUT THAT'S CONNECTED WORLD TERITORY).

FNAF DOESN'T HAVE SOME FAIRY CONNECTING WORLDS.

Each world is separate from one another, but shares the basics (what the games generally lay out, but not always all of it)

That is why I think that Tales CAN take place in the world set out by the games, but the games themselves DON'T take what tales lays out as canon. Because tales is the world 3 to the games world 1.

I don't hate people who theorise that talesgames is canon, and I actually love a fair few AUs that use talesgames.

I am just sick of not being able to talk about theories without someone else coming along and derailing what was a pleasant conversation I was having with someone else.

Edit: sorry for the frequent post edits, I feel like I need to articulate this exactly right or else people will misinterpret what I say. Hence why I removed the meme (someone may just read the meme and get pissy without reading the rest of the text)and highlighted certain portions of the text with formatting.

#paige speaks! #flashing lights #blinkie usage #fnaf #five nights at freddys #fnaf theory #anti talesgames #bravely default spoilers #vent #I genuinely love and respect AUs that incorporate talesgames #but I can't seem to talk about modern FNAF theories or the timeline without someone barging in and trying to force me to accept talesgames #Can we go back to the times where people weren't that bratty over a simple theory? #Because the timeline is still just as much of an amorphous blob of unanswered questions and lose ends now as it was back then. #Just with more lose ends and unanswered questions. #honestly my bravely default comparison is probably better than my final fantasy comparison #You know how “dead dove do not eat” was coined from a sitcom skit where someone looks in a bag labelled with that and sees that? #I think we should coin “Til is still dead though” #for instances when a game has multiple worlds that have the same foundation but have fundamental differences between worlds #And this saying means “sure X happens in world C; but Y still happened in world A even though it didn't happen in world C” #just like how Til survives in one of the worlds; but he's still dead in world 1.
