Hey I know you’ve probably already been asked this but what type of chemistry do you use for breaking bread like biochem and where did you learn this or have any book recommendations to pick it up? Also ty in advance I love your writing!!💕💕

oh my fucking god. oh my god. buddy. buddy you have made my fucking LIFE ASKING THIS OH GOD

So like, most of the chemistry I've used so far has just been Genchem and O Chem(with a wee few modifications to make it believable as a Cybertronian discipline, like Transformium being able to hold 4 bonds like Carbon but preferentially forming bonds w metals and needing an EMP pulse to interact w more electronegative atoms) I may wind up needing to get into a bit of Inorganic chemistry, but that's probably fewer and further in between. If you want a better handle on the stuff I'm writing or if you just want to learn more in general, then I'd recommend giving yourself a lil crash course in Genchem and then delving into O chem a bit more extensively (protip : you need WAY less Genchem then you'd think to fully understand O chem. God I wish someone had told me this 5 years ago. If you search "Genchem for non majors", you'll probably learn enough that way.)

THAT SAID : here's a chaotic, not really in any order list of the books/youtube channels/etc that I've directly used/am using for this fic.

Books :

Caveman Chemistry, Kevin R Dunn - Alot of hands-on old timey historical chemistry lessons w detailed instructions on how to complete them.(YOU GET TO MAKE YOUR OWN ASPIRIN AND DRAIN CLEANER!) Delivered with a delightfully occult bend.

Back To basics,(Reader's Digest) - Survivalist homesteading bible. Not strictly chemistry but has alot of earthy hippy ways of generating energy( biofuels my beloved)

An Introduction to Fire Dynamics, Dougal Drysdale - Honestly this, and any other firefighting manuals are worth their weight in gold for figuring out how to not set yourself and your neighborhood on fire while playing with, well, fire. Trying to look this info up online is like playing russian roulette with intentional misinformation and your fbi guy.

(there's another book I have that's even more detailed but I can't find it right now or remember the name. I'll update this list when I can!)

Organic Chemistry, John Mcmurray 8th edition : generic but good college O chem textbook. You can search around and find free versions to download relatively easily.

The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, James W Zubrick - Also a very good way to learn how to not set yourself and your neighborhood on fire when playing with glassware/gases. Very in-depth instructions on setting up and using lab equipment without breaking anything or your brain. Has a fuckton of pictures. Author has a massive sense of humor and makes this heavy subject easy to read. Again, easy to download/find in archives

Unfortunately I do not have any recommendations for Genchem books. I mostly used free online courses like Khan Academy to learn what I did.(I would def. recommend them though)

Youtube Channels :

The Organic Chemistry Tutor : Dude puts everything from reaction mechanisms to retrosynth problems down in the simplest possible terms. Does not beat around the bush with euphemisms or stories, gets right to business. If you have trouble paying attention, or lose your mind when a professor goes off on a tangent, this man is your savior. I have crippling unmedicated ADHD and no STEM background whatesoever and this man still managed to teach me 2 separate ways to execute a Gabriel Synthesis

Nile Red : World's most inefficient and most powerful wizard. I am not entirely convinced he's human. Does shit like turning plastic gloves into drinkable grape soda or making sweeteners out of his own piss and somehow makes it explainable to trash goblins like me who only need the science for warlord pussy.

again, anon, holy shit thank you so much. Like you wouldn't believe the amount of damage you've just undone. i have been beating myself into a pulp and spiraling into anxiety about this fic an trying to do everything right and you've given me enough moxie to fuel me for at least the next 10 chapters. If you have any more questions or more specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I can't guarantee I can answer them, but damnit I'll try. Take care and happy learning you funky lil moonbean.

#Bible verse of the day #John 6:51 #breaking bread

[tomicscomics]

04/21/2023

Open my eyes, dear Lord! ...but not like that.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: The verse in this comic is summarized but essentially unchanged.  However, while the verse meant "their eyes were opened" in a figurative way (as in "they came to understand suddenly"), I depict the opening of the disciples' eyes very physically. Their old eyes peel open like eyelids to reveal newer, more understanding eyes within.  Don't worry, I'm sure the old eyes end up shedding like scales (like with St. Paul).  They won't be a permanent second pair of eyelids -- that'd be gross!

Okay spoilers for Chapter 25 of Breaking Bread by @ss-shitstorm

I said in the Ao3 comments section that I have theories, and I was told to share. I typed all of this out in Ao3 but realized what an utter wall of text it was going to be, so here it is on Tumblr! Technically it'll be a wall of text anyway but... idk formatting probably works better here lol

In any case, I'm just gonna pick up from my first thought and go from there.

Theory time about Reader's Stranger:

Metal. He's metal. Definitely Megs, especially since we've already found out that he shares the same dream as Reader. Based on his dialogue I'm also guessing that he's experiencing this dream at the exact same time as Reader - they're talking to each other via the dream world and neither of them even knows it.

"I've seen these rooms, I've walked these floors" excuse the Hallelujah quote lol but Reader's recognition of their surroundings reminded me of that. Anyway, I'm getting reincarnation vibes here??? Not that they've both reincarnated though. Megs has been alive far too long for that. BUT maybe it was just Reader?? That would explain why he had such reverence when he asked if it was really them that he was seeing and speaking to.

Their nickname is 'Mouse'. Mouse = tiny, so this could mean in their past life that they were a human he knew very well (How well remains to be seen but I'm leaning towards them being romantic, or at least almost that way, despite how he says 'friend'). If they weren't a human in their past life, maybe they were a small Cybertronian (a minibot??) and 'mouse' is just the English translation of the Cybertronian word? And if they were indeed Cybertronian, 'mouse' could either apply to their physical size or maybe their speed/agility?

"You're light-years from your time, little one"

This ^ does throw me off though. He did show (hastily masked) grief when Reader's death was mentioned, so it's possible he was just trying to reassure them? I mean, it's possible (again, assuming that they're talking directly to his subconscious) he thinks they're just a memory. Like a snapshot of the person he once knew, but the snapshot is taken from before anything bad happened to them. If that's the case, he could just be reassuring them that they're fine so that he doesn't have to relive the pain & deal with his Stranger (re?)learning of their terrible fate. So to connect back to the 'light-years' part, that could just be a figure of speech.

"Were it up to me, I'd never leave"

See see this is one of the reasons why I think they're both dreaming each other in real-time! HOWEVER.

“But you have to leave.”/“We both do. We’ve our lives to return to, after all.”

We both do. This probably throws off the reincarnation theory, which should simply confuse me but instead I'm confused and also fascinated!

What does he mean? How much is he actually aware of?? He definitely doesn't recognize Reader outside of the dream world, since he'd be all over them and (I quote) treating them "as a knight would his king". So what kind of life does he think his Stranger is returning to when they wake up?? Maybe this actually does support the reincarnation theory, while also telling us that he knows about said reincarnation?? Does he think their reincarnated form is somewhere else on the planet (somewhere else in the universe even??) living their life without him, while they're actually right under his olfactory sensor in the form of Reader?? I'm so curious!

“Am I gonna see you again?”/“Of that, you’ve unfortunately no choice.”

The 'unfortunately' here is hanging me up. Granted, "his smile loses all traces of sorrow", so he's back to being a bit of a cheeky menace, which is good because that's normal for him. Butttt something feels off? I think is the right term here? Idk. Might be nothing, or it might be super significant. Either way, I think him being so sure of seeing them again has to do with the dreams. If he meant they'd see him in the real world, that would mean he'd know who Reader is and I've already established that I think their current dynamic would be wildly different if that were the case. So it's possible he simply knows that they'll both have these repeating dreams occur again.

“You’d think the eons that passed would have afforded me greater equanimity, but I’m every bit as emotional as I thought I’d be.”

Wait wait going backwards in the chapter to look at this for a second- "as I thought I'd be." Was he expecting to meet them in this dream?? Also, eons?? Just how much time has passed since he last saw his Stranger in person? Are we looking at multiple reincarnations, if Reader was indeed originally a human?

“There is much I cannot discuss, despite my overwhelming longing to do so.”

Okay actually it's possible he does know about reincarnation. Possibly. I really want to know what he wants to discuss, but for the sake of theorizing... maybe he's refraining from telling them because of what I mentioned about keeping them safe from the knowledge of their horribly tragic death. But it should be fine to talk about other not so horrible things, so that's hard to say. Maybe he does know about reincarnation, knows his Stranger forgets everything, and doesn't want to overwhelm them? Again, hard to say.

“But I don’t... I don’t know who you are.” / “And it must stay that way, for now.”

Hnnnnn yeah I think he knows. He's got to. Or at the very least, his subconscious does. Again, not so sure why he's keeping that a secret from them. Maybe like I mentioned earlier it really is just his subconscious that Reader is speaking to? If it were his main consciousness (like it sort of seems to be for Reader), he probably wouldn't care so much about being cautious (we all know TFP Megs can be a bit too focused on instant gratification lol), but perhaps his subconscious knows better? There's still a lot that remains to be seen though.

Hoo boy. That is utter word vomit. My gosh. Okay. I thinkkk I got everything. I sincerely hope that didn't get too incoherent. I was running out of ways to express my thoughts lol. Plus it was like 1am when I wrote this last night and I'd had a long day 😂

In any case, I'm off to read Chapter 26 because gahh I'm so excited to see where this goes!

musings on bread and religion

(transcript below the cut)

each time my father cuts into a fresh loaf of bread, he carves a cross into the underside. he's not a religious man, my father, but it's what his grandmother taught him to do, and it has become his way of keeping her memory alive.

i imagine him as a young boy, queueing for hours with his brother to exchange food tokens for a loaf of bread. i imagine him watching my great-grandmother crucify the loaf, before she cuts him a bigger share than she grants herself.

i have never been religious; i have never known how to pray; i don't feel anything when i enter a church, other than my distinct lack of spirituality. my family's ties to a higher power are merely remnants of traditions - a force of habit that honours family and loved ones.

and, ultimately, i am glad i didn't grow up in church. there are many things that the guilt of organised religion would have made substantially more difficult to come to terms with.

but sometimes, when i pass a house of god, see how the people within find solace in a higher power and a community,i feel a pang of jealousy, or perhaps sadness.

there's something about believing in a god because it's true, not because it seems like the only thing to do.

i remember a car ride with my father. he tells me, "i don't believe in god, but, when something important is about to happen, i like to say a little prayer."

i wish i knew what that means.

i never met my great-grandmother, just as i have never met god. but i have been told of the unending kindness and charity of both. i have seen how much they mean to people around me.

and so i find myself thinking of isten and my dénagymama, as i carve a cross into each new loaf of bread.

Whether a site includes the growing of food or not, breaking bread together is an essential part of the human experience and universally understood as an excellent lubricant for conversation.

I feel like you'd probably wind up adopting the cybertronian swears and slurs instead so the kids are (mostly) oblivious but you make Optimus and Ratchet deeply uncomfortable alot of the time and Ultra Magnus drops dead five minutes in.

The idea of a "Better Call Saul" parody was suggested by Ben Wurth over at Patreon.com/Tomics since the show is in its final season.  Thanks for the suggestion!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Of course, the most obvious choice for this parody's star is St. Paul, formerly known as Saul before his conversion on the road to Damascus.  For those who don't know, Saul is on his way to continue persecuting early Christians when Jesus appears to Him on the road and has a few words with him.  Saul is thrown from his horse and blinded during the experience, but eventually he gets his sight back, converts, starts going by Paul, and becomes one of the most influential people in the developing Church. 2. If any of you have read the now-sold-out-and-unattainable "Ultimate Catholic Comic Book" from 2017, you might remember that the supremely talented Jason Bach had this same idea in one of his cartoons featured in said book, so consider this my version of a joke that was originally his.

Jesus Appeared....Emmaus Road

I have been silent this last week since Easter, as I was working with my Sister and trying to heal my back. I want to remember Easter and dive into the post resurrection appearances as we journey towards Ascension day and then Pentecost 10 days later. As we celebrated on Easter morning, Jesus did not stay in the tomb but rose from the dead. After his resurrection, he appeared many times to…

The Last Supper, which is depicted in the Bible as the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, holds symbolic significance in Christian theology.

From a culinary perspective, this event is traditionally associated with the institution of the Eucharist or Holy Communion, where bread and wine represent the body and blood of Jesus, respectively.

One key lesson that can be drawn from the Last Supper in the context of culinary arts is the act of sharing a meal together.

Eating together has long been a symbol of community, friendship, and unity.

The Last Supper serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together around a table to share food and fellowship with one another.

Additionally, the act of breaking bread and sharing a communal meal can be seen as a gesture of hospitality, generosity, and love.

It emphasizes the idea of nourishing both the body and soul through the act of eating together.

The Last Supper offers insights into the cultural, social, and spiritual significance of food and communal dining.

It underscores the importance of coming together around a shared meal, fostering a sense of unity, connection, and mutual care among individuals

Breaking Bread Fast

Well, sort of. It was only five days, not the whole seven. He was doing well until Thursday evening, another particularly hard day, when he cracked and broke out an instant noodle packet. He regretted it of course and he told his friend...[read the story on AO3!]
