FTL: Alright. I have been planning my next project over the course of the last cycle. I've also been replying to everything that I've neglected to during the crisis. I do feel that perhaps I've missed some important events, but I didn't know about any such events before I partially repaired my communication systems, it's not much of a change.
FTL: As for my next project, I plan to attempt to create a beneficial Rot that will take over the role of the micro-organisms that repair the outer structures of Iterators - henceforth I will be calling them SRMOs, short for Structural Repairment Micro-Organisms. Calling them 'micro-organisms' is too vague, and the files I have on them don't give them any one specific name. Even if they did, I have no reason to utilise that name. SRMO it is.
FTL: Metal Rot is a now-uncommon byproduct of making a mistake when experimenting upon the genetics of an SRMO. The process of their creation is the same as any other Rot, and Metal Rot often ends up being an Expanding Rot. The reason that it becomes its own category (though Metal Rots can still fit into any of the sub-groups of general Rot) is due to its nature of being microscopic in starting stages, and therefore incredibly difficult to detect, as well as the fact that it can only consume the metal that the SRMO it was created from was capable of repairing.
FTL: SRMOs are actually very interesting themselves. From what I understand, they consume the metal, divide it into half, use up a bit as a source for energy, and then replace the metal that they previously consumed with double the coverage of the material that was previously there. Of course, this does mean that every single time this process happens, the metal gets thinner. SRMOs were never meant to be the primary repair mechanism, they were always just a backup for the meantime between maintenances. But with the Ancients now gone, they have indeed become the primary outer repair system for any Iterator that has them.
FTL: They were never sustainable. Just another example of the Ancients' lack of foresight. Truly, it astounds me every single time that I find a lapse of judgement like this on their part. I hold no true ill will towards Ancients, truth to be told, I hold no stance on them at all. I just do not understand how it's even possible to mess up so many times, and never do anything about it, simply leaving forever.
FTL: My project that I will now be embarking upon consists of my attempting to create a Metal Rot that has the exact same functions as an SRMO, except more efficient and sustainable. And, of course, not fatal or even detrimental at all to the structure that it is repairing. Sounds absurd, a beneficial Rot, does it not?
FTL: If such a modified Metal Rot is allowed to spread over the surface of an Iterator, then it could fulfill the same purpose as an SRMO while being, as previously mentioned, more efficient and sustainable. Efficient due to its nature of already being everywhere as well as being much quicker at the task, capable of redistributing resources across the surface instead of keeping faults concentrated in one place. That plays into the sustainability, which is also comprised of the fact that it'd ideally be able to gather nutrients from sources other than what it is repairing. Potentially the air? Unlikely that it'd ever be capable of gathering nutrients from biotic things, due to the fact that it is a Rot made from a creature that does not consume living things.
FTL: Most Rots are capable of consuming both biotic and abiotic materials, though most tend to stick to organisms as those contain more energy that it can utilise for itself. A Rot that can only consume one of the two would be rather interesting. Such a thing wouldn't typically happen, as it is extremely detrimental to it, especially so on the side of not being able to absorb biotics.
FTL: Of course, this solution too is unsustainable. While it would make structures last for longer than SRMOs would, the base mechanic of redistributing ever-thinning resources remains. But that is merely yet another fault of how Iterators were created in the first place; we are unsustainable in nature.
FTL: If I do have what I perceive as success in creating such a Rot, then I only have one option. That being to, of course, test it on myself. I do not know what I will do with it if it is successful, as I am doing this out of sheer curiousity, as is part of the motivation for many things I do. If my suspicions about me being successful are proven wrong upon my testing of the results, well. Same rules apply as always.
FTL: If I fail and succumb, it merely my fault, and those are the consequences that I must face.
FTL: It's nice to have a proper project once more. Engineering Rot will be an interesting endeavour.

i cant believe there are cats ACTUALLY advocating for kittens to be separated from their mothers before 12 weeks??? kittens still need to learn how to interact with other cats before being placed into their furever home omg you guys know you're advocating for undersocialized and aggressive cats right
❤️ loving-paws284 Follow
um op some of us??? matured early??????? i was separated from my mother at 7 weeks and i turned out fine... interesting how you assume that kittens being separated from their mothers at a younger age will lead to the degeneracy of the next generation...hmm i wonder where i've heard that before...

OP got bit too hard during a play-fight as a kitten and it shows XD
🐟 tunafeesh Follow
also op have you ever considered that just because somecat is kind of scared and unable to deal with strange cats or humans, it doesn't mean they don't deserve to be adopted?? you sound like a vet psyop honestly
🎵 rage-against-the-meowchine Follow
oh meow god saying that kittens should be fully weaned before leaving their mother is NOT veterinarian rhetoric and i never said that they deserve to be euthanized!!! my mother literally died when i was 3 weeks old and it seriously messed up my development so stop putting words in my mouth, thanks
anyway friendly reminder that underweaned kittens are prone to illness and often struggle with basic cat behaviors like litterbox usage, and in some nyavinces it's even considered kitten abuse
#discourse #cant believe "kitten abuse is bad" is controversial now

sully boys walked on you changing 😳
a/n: i am out of ideasss, lmk if you have some :) anyways, enjoy! :)
masterlist
although the na’vis are not known for their coverage in clothing pieces, they have a time for changing things up.
i swear they are putting so much trust in their piece of clothing, like neytiri’s top is holding on for its dear life.
jake (2009)
“hey, y/n um- OM MY FUCKING-“
“HEY! JAKE GET THE FUCK OUT!” you covered your bare chest and turned away from him. “GET OUT! LEARN HOW TO KNOCK FOR MY SAKE!”
“so- sorry!”
“GO!”
“y- yes! going now,” he closed the curtain slowly.
“no peaking!”
stares a moment before going out the tent. he is doing that shOOk face before collecting his senses.
definitely smirking to himself behind the curtain
jake is definitely a sweet guy and a consent king, but he can’t help himself sometimes, y’know. getting those free views is not something he’ll see everyday, might as well take advantage of it.
he tries to kill his thoughts but those pictures flash over and over he had to beat himself to it.
definitely have to bonk his head to get some senses back. he’ll be so flirty at first, but he’ll become so shy afterwards
definitely thinking about you before going to bed. he’ll be a drunk person in love, imagining your embrace during the nights.
tails wagging and everything when he daydream about you.
can’t even look at you in the eyes for a week, i guess. he was so ashamed but he can’t help himself teasing you of it 😈
the sweetest boy 100% tho. he’ll even comfort you.
“hey, y/n, i know i can be a wuss sometimes but you don’t have to be embarrassed to me. I know i’m an idiot but you have a really sweet body, don’t think i am a creep, but i think every part of you is perfect, and i mean it,” he tucked a hair behind your ear.
neteyam
his father’s son 100% a flirty boy
“y/n, i was wondering- OH HOLY- nice views”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP, GET OUT!”
“okay, okay, going now, you should wear that more, or should i say i like it off,” he snickered behind the curtains.
“YOU- son of a- please, get out!”
he is so sweet about it tho. he’ll apologize afterwards 🥺
he’ll hug you whenever he can 100% and shower you with comforting words. maybe he can shower you with seductive compliments *AHEM*
“i know I’m an idiot, y/n, but you are so cute for me, and i mean it, okay?” “never let anyone sees you like that, because you are my little potato and mine.”
but neteyam being neteyam, he’ll throw out a joke afterwards like
“next time call me, I’ll help you change.” *wink* *wink*
he’ll daydream about the scene that flashed against his eyes, he wouldn’t complain about it. just basically dozed off in the middle of the day, drooling and everything, and people around him were worried asf. “tf is wrong with his dude.”
wanders to those deep dark waters that he know he shouldn’t go there. definitely cringe at himself and smack some senses back.
then he always learned how to shout before going in, which other people thinks it’s weird why he started doing it now, after all these years.
when he knows you are inside he’ll never miss a chance to tease you.
“hey, y/n! watch out for a handsome boy going in, he might see some views.”
“oh, shut up.”
lo’akkk
my boyyyy, he is flustered to the flustered
“y/n, i wanted to ask- AH- WHAT-“
“OH MY GOODNESS, please, get out!”
“I’m so sorry!”
his face is so red that people walking past the tent would ask if he is okay💀 he’ll be so flustered he couldn’t even answer them.
people got worried so they called jake to see💀
“lo’ak! what happened, did you do something?” he grabbed his son and shook him.
“no-nothing dad! let me go!” he refused to stay in his embrace.
“then tell me what happened!”
“MR.SULLY, HE SAW ME CHANGING! IT’S NOT HIS FAULT!” you quickly got out of the tent. lo’ak’s face turned even redder and his body’s temperature is rising rapidly.
the fact that, I am telling you, jake died laughing inside. he was like- “HUH” and then “HAHAHSHSHHA”
lo’ak couldn’t be more embarrassed, but he was met with your comforting words later on. you went to see him in his tent alone, choosing wisely to bring a shawl to cover your shoulder
“hey, lo’ak, are you feeling better?” you placed your hand on his shoulder. “look, i’m sorry-“
“no, please, i should be the one apologizing,” he turned to look at you, instinctively looking down first but panicked and looked up. “I’m sorry for reacting like that, your body made me think things i never imagined- BRAH EW WHAT DID I JUST SAY.”
“it’s okay,” you giggled. “glad i can help.”
“NO- I SWEAR I AM NOT A CREEP!”
“YOU ARE MY CREEPER,” a peck on his lips. muah.
today’s a great day to try something new! and take care! 🤍
