#but yeah I know what DNA is

[rays-animorphs]

My dear K. A. Applegate, you can't say in one sentence that the Venber are not carbon based and then mere paragraphs later say that a specific carbon based species is somehow more compatible with them for artificial hybridization than other carbon based species. Not carbon based = no DNA, DNA is a carbon based molecule, a non-carbon-based species would not have DNA or be able to use DNA or be hybridizable by gluing bits of DNA together. That's. An. Organic. Compound.

Eh, maybe it's like the Kessel run in whatever number of parsecs thing and it's just meant to show that Ax is BS'ing a lot and the kids don't know enough science to call him out on it.

#animorphs book 25 #this is fun normally the science in sci fi is physics #and I don't know enough physics to call out the absurdities #beyond basics like 'ftl travel is theoretically impossible' #but yeah I know what DNA is #there is also 'what is it based on instead and is that compatible #with a high oxygen atmosphere' #but that point's a bit more subtle #I think silicon based in theory should be incompatible with #contact with oxygen #and silicon based is the obvious alternative

[kens-puku]

Y'all are gonna think I'm so weird.

But I'm running with this idea I've had for a while for my mcl ocs. Well, other than the actual other mcl ocs I've made.

It's part lazy, part bizarre.

Clones.

Yep, clones.

My MCL NG oc is a clone of the original Puku, but different. I haven't figured out the details yet, but it's like what I did with Pukun, Puku's male clone. It has the idea of a type of clone theory idea of nature vs nurture. The DNA and nature of the puku clones is the same, but the nurture is always a bit different depending on circumstances. Puku "prime" is the parent of all the clones made, but Puku "prime" had a different parentage and upbringing than the clones. Not to mention, the events of each mcl game has different outcomes for clone Puku.

This Puku has -teal- hair and is a zoomer, I guess. Raised by Puku "prime" and has the existential grappling of dealing with being a clone in general.

There's... still a lot of ironing out to do. Like... Where does Kentin fit into all this? How should I incorporate the family given to Puku 2.0 in New Generation?

Why am I giving this plot to an MCL OC!??

lol

#my candy love #my candy love new generation #mcl ng #not that it matters at all. i don't believe I'd really write much lore on all this. it's just what my mind thinks of when regarding thispuk #actually I'm leaning more towards Puku 2.0 being raised by the family in universe. but Puku prime is like the creepy person that pops in #from time to time to make sure teal puku is doing alright #all of the pukus are adopted anyway lol #i have to study zoomers so I can know what zoomers are all about #wait... being a zoomer is all about upbringing during a certain time period.. so technically this Puku should be a gen alpha but JUST GO WI #dw guys I'll program this puku with the memories of a gen zoomer #When the teal puku was “born” from the test tube #puku prime put all the things zoomers grew up with on a crt television and had her watch it for a couple years while the body grows rapidly #it's all good fams we got this #teal puku would be like to peers “what do you mean your parents didn't have you watch your memories before they became memories?” #so like... teal puku will be “raised” by puku prime for about 4 years with programming. Then she'll be dropped off at the door step of the #family in NG with the instructions that she needs them to be her new family #yeah it's perfect! #just... so many of those gen z starter packs that I seen around #like minecraff and fortnite and the wii... yeah it's perfect #i need to remember how much aging happens in one year that I must have decided at one point. like a dog. #i think it was 1 year = about 4 years of growth but I can't member rn #but as per usual that growth cycle only goes on until reaching the age of the dna sampled. then it goes back to normal puku dna human growt #so actually 1 year of zoomer childhood programming #wait... the plot holes... are still.. T__T #I'll workshop it.

Digital World X Lore #1

How Digivolution Function with Reploids:

When it comes to reploids, being robots and not humans means that they don’t usually have a digivice as they themselves are the Device themselves. Meaning that reploids act both Tamer and digivice at the same time leading to…interesting developments how Digivolution works as they are actually different varieties two of evolution. While it requires a level of bonding between the reploid and the digimon, another is…less than pleasant to perform.

Standard Evolution: Normal Digivolution that we all know and love, it requires a level of friendship between reploid and digimon. Their energy is used to speed up a digimon’s digivolution, the higher the level the more stamina and energy that it consumes. So most of the time it has a time limit of how long the digimon stays in that form. Normally like humans, if the Digimon have a strong bond with their reploid partner the time limit extends and it consumes less stamina than the reploid provides. It can possibly create an energy feedback between reploid and digimon if their friendship is strong enough. The limit reploids Digivolve their partners is the Ultimate level, but there are cases where the reploid can Digivolve their partner to Mega or potentially Ultra level. But leaves to be determined as records show that a few reploids and their Digimon can achieve such a high level without consequences.

Symbiosis Evolution: A uniquely powerful evolution that is essentially a pure fusion between the DNA Soul and Digicore coexisting together as a new being. This is where the bond between reploid and digimon has transcended into new heights, of their souls working and existing together with no harm with each other. Despite being a new being it will inherit aspects of the reploid’s armor integrated into the form it self. But if this form is pushed to the absolute limit, there is a chance that both souls can either be damaged beyond repair. It’s an extremely rare and powerful process to perform, to trigger it this transformation must happen if the digimon and reploid have an extremely powerful bond. Only a very few and select individuals can perform this evolution without difficulty. Essentially Symbiosis is a combination of DNA evolution and Biomerge evolution, due the DNA soul and Digicores being incredibly similar and yet different.

Side note

The constant use of symbiosis evolution, can cause unexpected Mutations on the reploid’s DNA Soul to somehow obtain traits and abilities of their digimon companion and vice versa. It is unknown what this phenomenon can affect their health. But it seems that both parties are not negatively affected by their mutations. But is advised that the use of symbiosis evolution must be treated with caution.

Amalgamation Evolution: A uniquely horrifying transformation of a forced fusion between the reploid and digimon. A parasitic version of Symbiosis Evolution. Where both cores are in a constant battle of control and the body tearing itself apart into a chimera like form. It’s destructive and unpredictable, it’s commonly formed when a digimon is desperate to consume data from reploids to become stronger or a reploid forcefully fuses with a Digimon to obtain more power. It can often lead them into a state of endless agony, having one goal in mind: destroy, consume and survive. Or in a more rarer case the Digimon forcefully assimilates the reploid’s DNA Soul into their data to be their new armor, weapon or a new Digivolution. If it’s the other way around the reploid gains a new transformation that makes them even more destructive than ever.

There is a possibility to save the digimon or reploid, but the separation would also lead to irreversible mutations or worse if their souls are not extracted safely. It is strongly advised to approach these types of beings with utmost caution.

I still very loathe the Media Trope of ‘’cold genius man doesn’t feel emotions and never has relationships... UNTIL.. one random relatively bland Preddy Woman comes along and warps his entire personality and ability to think, his heart has grown and his seeming asexuality has evaporated, he is now Normal :)” or whatever like... AS a walking generic hermit archetype myself.. we would NOT act like that .... just let people be detached weirdos in peace, you cowards .. OR, don’t bother to write one in the first place if you find us too boring to exist realistically in our natural state lol.. pathetic 

#the only exception to this is its okay if he develops some pesudo-romantic psychologial fixation on one of his long suffering male sidekicks #or assistants or whatever (since this character acrhetype ALWAYS has some sort of like Straight Man Every Man helper to follow #him around and be an audience stand in. sometimes multiple like a whole team of assistants. sometimes just one etc.) #like a strange not-entirely-romance-but-mutualy-unhealthy-comedic-codependence w someone you worked w 25+ yrs COULD be in character. sure. #ASIDE from that one exception though..... just keep them aromantic and asexual.. why would someone who has been that way for their #entire fucking life suddenly be like ''well I've known this woman three weeks but she's really hot! whoops!'' #''guess I'm going to act completely out of character! sometimes booba so booby it fundametally alters the dna of me personality. you know ho #w it is'' .. like shut up.. explode #It's not that I project personally onto these characters (writers are bad at writing them and they're generally annoying as shit) BUT just #like... coming FROM the perspective OF a cold detached ''robot'' seeming hermit freak.. like textbook scholar wizard man locked #away in a tower somewhere type personality... You just watch shows sometimes and you can SEE that the writers are trying to write #the Character Archetype that is your actual realworld personality and you're just like 'we do NOT fucking act like that!!!' lol #you know ? like .. i don't actually care about the characters themselves but more just.. the principle of the thing. staying true to what #has been set up. You can't be like ''oh yeah this is your typical cold detached hermit weirdo with zero interest in human relationships for #the most part blah blah blah'' and then 5 minutes later be like ''WAIT GUYS!! LOOK! they're still NORMAL! look they love booba #too!!! haha hashtag Relatable!!'' .. what have you done to him.. you've massacred the archtype.. cowardly fool #Also I'm referencing them as male because this character archtetype is usually male but the same thing can apply for other gendered versions #of the archetype. it's ALWAYS annoying. no matter what it is lol. GOD AND IT'S even worse when they're supposed to be like hundreds or thous #ands of years old like.. some sort of supernatural being who's ''above it all'' because they've seen the world's cycles for so long #and blah blah and then it's like ''omg.. suddenly into romance.. for some reason all 900 years of my life nobody has ever been good #enough but YOU.. random ass person who I met 30 minutes ago and are completely average in every way or maybe you have like one #special power or are smart or something but apparently somehow I've lived 900 years without ever meeting a single other smart person #or whatever but WOW.. you... instant soulamtes.. I am no longer aromantic and asexual. I am also no longer smart.'' #at least if it's a human with a normal lifespan you can be like 'well they were only 30. maybe they genuinely did just have their first #sexul awakening' or something but.. you're telling me like.. 900 years??? 1000 years?? and NOW they're like 'whooa!!' lol #Which obviously all aroace people are different.. all people with autism or schizoid pd or any other mental illnesses that can sometimes #lend people towards that type of 'weird hermit' archetype are all different. plenty of these people WILL have relationships and sex and desi #re those things. but it's like.. if you are OBVIOUSLY setting out to write that one VERY specific archetype within the broader archetype #then GO ALL THE WAY!! you cant have someone be like HALF-detached partial-hemrit sometimes-maybe-genuis or whatever #or I guess you can but like. it should be that way from the beginning. it's the random sudden shift in personality thats jarring

this is partially a critique on my part but even more of a critique on other online leftists' part since i notice a complete lack of attempts at putting oneself in others shoes- it shouldn't quite literally take learning you have x minority ethnicity in you to have sympathy and understanding for them.

#i started understanding native people more when even the possibility of me having ntv american in me was presented to me #heres an idea: ACTUALLY TRY TO VISUALIZE WHAT SHIT WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU WERE IN STEAD OF DOING NOTHING #yes. yes. you will 'never fully comprehend' blah blah blah but im sure you've had enough experiences being treated lesser than #to be able to put yourself in other peoples shoes long enough to understand the complex ways of how shit negatively effects people #pretend that you are jewish (in your brain not irl if you're not. this is a thought exercise.) and now tell me what you think should #happen to jewish ppl in israel. and wait- i mean ACTUALLY think about it. dont shit out the most buzzwordsy shit you can think of #to make yourself feel and Look Cool to your followers. basically im asking you to do method acting here. i want you to go THAT far #to understand bc its apparently what needs to be done for you to understand. #bc if you're actually doing this thought exercise and you're actually educated on why theres jewish ppl in israel to begin with #(hint: they were forced out of other countries) you're not going to then be like 'yeah its fine to kill all jewish ppl in israel' you just #WONT come to that conclusion if you're being honest. #also i bet plenty a yall havent even gotten dna tests so far all you know you COULD have ashkenazi in you! #so you need to internalize that and try to act the way you think someone put in that situation would act to understand better. #also obviously all the while listening to jewish people while you're at it.

Unironically I think you should be able to decide whatever sexuality or gender or sex you want to the clones. Like. I know they're clones of ACTUAL PEOPLE but we literally can see IMPERFECT clones existing all around the school, and like. science is weird we don't understand much about sexuality anyways so go nuts? who cares if you think JFK is biace, that's based and epic. Oh, transfem pan Abe? Rad and poggers. Or if you're like me, and you put your whole pussy into it -

#asdjlsiob i genuinely had one of my friends SEETHE over me saying that Topher is a transmasc king. #“HE'S A CLONE OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HE CAN'T BE FEMALE” #I can actually do whatever I want forever and always so. #also. #who knows??? this is old ass DNA. we see imperfect clones. yeah id be like okay whatever if you want a transmasc jesus or anything. #even more recent clones. what im trying to say is jfk can have a pussy too if you want #clone high #clone high season 2 #clone high season two #ch #clone high season 1 #clone high season one #clone high reboot #clone high headcanons #lgbt headcanons

had to unfollow someone I really liked cause they support nuclear power and kept ragging on people who didn’t believe in it calling them ignorant and as bad as antivaxxers and it’s like man. I’m not dumb because I disagree with you. Radiation is fucking terrifying, and the idea that being scared of something that will proveably kill you in horrific ways is the same as being scared of proveably safe vaccines that save lives is a cruel mischaracterization.

#radiation is one of my biggest fears #and I’m absolutely anti nuclear power #because three mile island and chernobyl showed us that human error can always override machine safety #and fukishima showed us that even the safest machines can’t survive every natural disaster #like I don’t support fossil fuel power but jesus #like the bp spill was terrible coal accidents are terrible #but oil spills can be cleaned up. you can wash rocks and animals even if it takes a long time #and power plant accidents are tragic but the people that die are confined to the people that die in the immediate incident #nuclear power accidents? oh no it doesn’t work like that #wherever the radiation touches is contaminated #and the highly irradiated areas? unlivable within our lifetimes. within tens of thousands of our lifetimes #and the disaster isn’t just contained to the incident. yeah some people may die immediately from regular causes #some may die from radiation poisoning #but radiation causes cancer. there are people who survived these events who are dying from it now #because regardless of what they’ll tell you — THERE IS NO SAFE AMOUNT OF RADIATION #even the smallest amount WILL change your dna #the smaller amounts are more likely to change junk dna that doesn’t actually code for anything sure #but any amount has the possibility of changing dna that will lead to cancer #and you wouldn’t even know until 40 years later because that’s how long on average it takes the cancer to develop #and even then the disaster can STILL KILL PEOPLE even after the disaster is over!!! #there were russian soldiers in chernobyl who dug up the wrong dirt and got radiation poisoning #the reactor is concealed within two separate containment buildings but the disaster can STILL KILL PEOPLE #it’s not safe there and for all we know all of humanity could be dead before we’d be able to live there again #solar and wind have their problems sure but #nuclear just isn’t worth it because all you need is ONE fuckup for things to go wrong for so many people for so long

I'm TOTALLY normal about this character. *takes out suspenders and puts jazz on*

#funny thing is that this is exactly what i do when i like a character #i get into my gentleman mode with waistcoats or suspenders and nice hair. yeah. #why? i dont know. you know when TV was first introduced #people would wear suits while watching it because they werent sure if the news anchor could see them or not? #or maybe its a turkish thing. i think the dna lives on in me. #i wear my suit so the characters on the screen can see that im a fine gentleman

i did 23 and me - and everything was basically as expected except for one tiny bit. Turns out my DNA is .2% Finnish!!

The human body's response to HRT is actually admirable in the sheer indifference. Just pure I Don't Give A Shit, I Just Fucking Work Here compliance to the new instructions. You can get testosterone injected straight into your body and it doesn't even question where that shit came from, coming back from a coffee break and just going

"Okay, everything seems to be in ord- oh fuck now what? Oh huh. Alright fine. New orders came in, cancel the menstrual cycle. Dig up the genetic balding patterns from somewhere, I don't fucking know they're buried somewhere in the dna. I'm greenlighting the growing-hair-on-your-toes thing. Yeah just cancel the ongoing maintenance processes, new orders came in so this is apparently what we're doing now."

[arolesbianism]

hey, me again. I finally managed to beat the jorge questline and made quite the realization- the log about the sandwich being stolen and something tracking dust everywhere is most likely actually referring to jorge, considering the context you get it in and the fact that we know jorge is from pre-earth-explosion.

The log in question-

I think this does give some sort of idea as to how big a dupe is, because obviously he'd have to be small enough to not be noticed in his sandwich thievery... ik youve probably combed thru these logs dozens of times by now but as a fellow lore enjoyer i feel like you'd find this interesting

Ive never thought of the idea that dupe Jorge could have been the one stealing the sandwich, that's a cool theory! I personally always assumed it has something to do with one of the previous logs for the hermit story, but looking back on it, it is called a pod entry, which would imply the crashed thing they're extricating resources from was a printing pod related vessel, which means that dupes might have been on board. As such, it would make sense if one of them survived, and was sneaking around stealing food to survive. I had always assumed that B577 was Jorge's doner, explaining Jorge's relevance, but that's actually a rly good point you made and this has helped me understand this log a lot better! I will say though, on the topic of dupe size I tend to be pretty iffy on size speculation given that a lot of ppl tend to ping them as Much smaller than they likely are, as while they're definitely smaller than normal humans they're most likely not like teeny tiny, more likely being roughly half of their donors height based on the very few direct pieces of dialogue we have about duplicant height in relation to human height. I do imagine that a small height likely played a role in his ability to stay hidden, but I think it'd be a rly neat detail if B577 was Jorge's donor and that also contributed to him staying under the radar, with him looking similar enough to get away with being caught at the edge of someone's vision for a moment, especially since he seems to have actually been kind of attached to Ren and Banhi, given the toolbox description and the description of it holding sentimental value to Jorge. Perhaps he was lonely there, and saw the others as friends in a strange way?

Either way this actually lines up a lot more with my initial idea of what his deal probably was, I had thought of him as smth of an escaped dupe who was in hiding before everything went down. Neat stuff!

#rat rambles #oni posting #you see this is why I need to finish that log collection because I hunger for different perspectives on these logs #a lot of ppl tend to misentrepret stuff but well. so do I. #and together we can all account of eachothers misenterpretation or smth like that idk xhdmhdjdh #but yeah the main thing that misinfo gets spread abt is dupe biology and lore #like for example many ppl use the hibiscus log as a point of reference for duplicant height when is most likely isnt abt duplicants #the main two points of note being that both the printed subject and the donor have the same listed size #and just the way that the subjects are described and the fact that theyre both 42cms lol #and also its an olivia log meaning that its almost certainly another rodent since theyre what she mainly works with #olivia does almost certainly know abt and has helped develop duplicants but most likely only in the early days #she isnt directly involved with that specific project anymore likely because she left due to conflict in that project and she just #generally works with animals more so than humans when it comes to bioengineering #now I would say this means she might have not known abt the dna stealing but the dna stealing has been happening since before the printing #pod was even developed as a new way of cloning space colonists #stinky's log taught us that one even if we dont take the scrapped version into account #and given that olivia is the biologist of the two itd be strange if she wasnt directly involved in these early stages of the project #so while Id say she likely doesnt know the complete extent of the duplicant project the dna stealing is still a thing shed likely know abt #anyways that was a tangent appologies for this taking a second to respond
