Ship questions and Things:
How did they first meet?: I think Dannie would be someone that Jess knows so Murphy would know Dannie through Jess.
Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go?: I think that Dannie would ask Murphy if they could grab coffee or something together and Murphy is like “Why not” and agrees.
Who said “I love you” first?: I’m not sure.
If they get married, who proposes?: I’m not sure so much as officially proposing, but I think more like “Yeah I definitely want to be your life partner forever, so let’s see where we go from here,” Which would probably be said by Murphy. Dannie would want to do it more traditionally, more officially.
How did your OC(s) find out they were in love? How did they react?: I think both of them realized they were each other’s comfort person and realized they wouldn’t ever want to be apart, and I think that was when they both knew.
Who is more likely to raise their voice?: Murphy.
Who threatens to leave but never actually does?: Dannie, but probably because Murphy is so co-dependent that they know saying that would make her realize how serious whatever they’re arguing about is.
Who actually keeps their word and leaves?: I think Murphy would leave, but not permanently. Only until she can calm down enough.
Who trashes the house?: Neither.
Do either of them get physical?: Never. They both know and behave better than that. They never let it escalate to that extreme.
How often do they argue/disagree?: If it’s over small pointless things like opinions on which _ is better then I’d say maybe once a week or less than that. If it’s a really big argument it’s not very common at least.
Who is the first to apologize?: Murphy.
Who stresses the most?: Dannie.
Who is the little spoon?: Murphy, which is funny considering how much taller she is.
Who likes to cuddle?: Dannie.
How long can they cuddle until one becomes uncomfortable?: A while but Murphy probably gets uncomfortable first.
Who struggles to keep their hands to themself?: Hmm… probably Dannie?
Who gives the most kisses?: Murphy.
What is their favorite non-sexual activity?: Cuddling, watching TV together, Dannie reading to Murphy, getting coffee together.
Where is their favorite place to cuddle?: Bedroom.
How often do they get time to themselves?: Pretty often. They have a lot of free time.
Who snores?: Neither.
Who talks in their sleep?: Murphy.
What do they wear to bed?: Dannie wears baggy t-shirts and fleece pants, and Murphy wears a tank top and pajama pants (if she remembers to change out of her regular clothes)
Are either of them insomniacs?: I think Murphy probably is.
Do they wrap their limbs around each other or just lay side by side?: They lay side by side, at least at first.
Who wakes up with bed hair?: Murphy. Dannie wears things to protect their hair while they’re sleeping, like a bonnet.
Who wakes up first?: Dannie.
Who hogs the sheets?: Murphy.
Can a television be found in their room?: No.
Who sprawls out and takes up most of the bed?: Murphy.
Who makes the bed?: Dannie.
What time is bedtime?: Any time from 11:30 to 2 am.
Who is the grumpiest when they wake up?: Murphy.
Do they own their home or do they rent?: They rent.
Do they enjoy their surroundings?: Yeah? I’d say so for the most part.
What’s their song?: I’m still working on the playlist, but one of them is The Beach by The Neighbourhood.
Who spends the most money when out shopping?: Murphy.
Any mental issues?: They’re both neurodivergent coded. Because I’m ND.
Do they have any fears for their future?- Some minor ones.
Who’s more likely to surprise the other with a fancy dinner?: Dannie.
Who wanders around in their underwear?: Murphy.
Who sings the loudest when singing along to the radio?: Dannie.
What do they tease each other about?: I’m not exactly sure but nothing too harsh. Mostly banter.
Who is more likely to cringe at the other’s fashion sense at times?: Dannie.
Do they have mutual friends?: Yes, Jess and Felix.
Who crushed first?: Dannie.
Who does the cooking?: Mostly Dannie.
Who is more likely to burn the house down just trying?: Murphy /j
Who leaves their dirty clothes on the floor?: Murphy.
Who loses the car keys when it comes time to go somewhere?: Well, Murphy can’t drive so Dannie.
Who answers the telephone?: Murphy prefers it when Dannie answers the phone.
Who takes the longest to shower?: Murphy.
What small physical details does each character love the most about the other?: Dannie loves Murphy’s green eyes, her nose and her hair. Murphy loves Dannie’s voice, how soft their skin is, and the shape of their lips.
What is one moment when each character was vulnerable with the other? How did the other character handle the vulnerability?: When Dannie came out to Murphy as ace. Murphy was supportive and then they discussed what it meant for their relationship, how much it would affect their current relationship, etc.
Do they have any inside jokes?: Oh for sure.
Who is more willing to compromise?: Dannie.
Do they have any habits that anger the other?: Dannie hates how self-destructive Murphy can be. Murphy hates how persistent Dannie is when trying to get Murphy to talk about her feelings.
How would each character most want to better themselves for the other?: I think Murphy would want to try to be better for Dannie, be healthier physically and mentally, and get better coping mechanisms. As for Dannie… I think they’d want to be more open for Murphy.
How open are they with their feelings?: At first, not that open but with time it gets easier for them. Murphy is definitely more closed off than Dannie.

In addition, plants hold the potential for the development of a cost-effective approach for the removal and remediation of heavy metalladen soils and water through the use of metal-hyperaccumulating plants (phytoremediation) ( Raskin et al., 1994 Dushenkov et al., 1995 Salt et al., 1995, 1998 Clemens, 2006). Food crops are a major source of heavy metal intake in humans, which has prompted interest in understanding how plants take up, detoxify and retain heavy metals. Many human disorders have been attributed to the ingestion of heavy metals, including learning disabilities in children, dementia, impairment of bone metabolism and increased cancer rates ( Tong et al., 2000 Allen et al., 2002 Aschner and Walker, 2002 Ohta et al., 2002 Yu et al., 2002 Waisberg et al., 2003 Heck et al., 2009 Satarug et al., 2010). Toxic metals such as lead, cadmium (Cd), mercury and the metalloid arsenic can accumulate in soils and water to levels that are detrimental to human and environmental health. Our results modify the glutathione-depletion driven model for sulfate assimilation gene induction during cadmium stress, and suggest that an enhanced oxidative state and depletion of upstream thiols, in addition to glutathione depletion, are necessary to induce the transcription of sulfate assimilation genes during early cadmium stress. Moreover, genetic, HPLC mass spectrometry, and gene expression analysis of the nrc1 and nrc2 mutants, revealed that intracellular glutathione depletion alone would be insufficient to induce gene expression of sulfate uptake and assimilation mechanisms. The nrc1 mutation was mapped to the γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene and the nrc2 mutation was identified as the first viable recessive mutant allele in the glutathione synthetase gene. Two nrc mutants, nrc1 and nrc2, were mapped, cloned and further characterized. The screen identified non-allelic mutant lines that fell into one of three categories: (i) super response to cadmium ( SRC) mutants (ii) constitutive response to cadmium ( CRC) mutants or (iii) non-response and reduced response to cadmium ( NRC) mutants. Stably transformed luciferase reporter lines were ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenized, and stable M 2 seedlings were screened for an abnormal luciferase response during exposure to cadmium. The SULTR1 2 promoter (2.2 kb) was fused with the firefly luciferase reporter gene to quantitatively report the transcriptional response of plants exposed to cadmium. Microarray studies identified a high-affinity sulfate transporter ( SULTR1 2) among the most robust and rapid cadmium-inducible transcripts. To genetically elucidate cadmium-specific transcriptional responses in Arabidopsis, we designed a genetic screen based on the activation of a cadmium-inducible reporter gene. However, the mechanisms mediating toxic heavy metal-induced gene expression remain largely unknown. Plants exposed to heavy metals rapidly induce changes in gene expression that activate and enhance detoxification mechanisms, including toxic-metal chelation and the scavenging of reactive oxygen species.

1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 18 :)
1. honorable or dishonorable?
you know i have to keep him honorable. he loves his horses too much, and feeding/grooming your horse boosts your honor. i was only dishonorable to complete the story missions in rdo.
5. moonshiner? trader? collector? bounty hunter?
...you also know bounty hunter is the only role i have worked on lately, other than trader. the new bounties make it a lot easier to enjoy! and at least rockstar gave the gays what they wanted 👉👈
6. favorite in-game area (aesthetically?)
big valley, specifically pronghorn ranch, in the mornings. the sunrise looks so nice with the white and silver horses :)
7. favorite place to camp?
clemen's point and horseshoe overlook bc of story mode, in the great plains, and over by heartland overflow. this makes gathering materials for trader A LOT easier (and i can't make myself hunt a legendary animal just for trader 😭)
10. favorite npc?
why do u bully me sammy? /lh. but gene "beau" finley is definitely up there, next to sadie and the unnamed legendary bounty hunter.
11. worst npc?
the naturalist role is cool n all bc of the horse, but harriet... stop making aiden pass out with that hallucinogenic spray.
13. a favorite story quest?
that quest where madam leclerk kills amos lancing <3 bastard took her husband and entire life away, so it was fitting for her to kill him
18. do you feed your character or are they running around half-starved?
i always feed him bc it bothers me to see his cores empty. same with my horses.

also found a home for that insane Appert/Reynaud story in that same anecdote gish gallop
Maurice Alhoy, whose mission--and discourse--existed at the crossroads of entertainment and philanthropy, did not consider his interactions with convicts to be exploitative, and he won their respect and admiration in a similar manner as Benjamin Appert. He tells of meeting a forcat who explicitly contrasts him with the sort of tourist “avide d’emotions” hated and feared by Clemens. He is also clear in his disapproval of tourism per se, finding it cruelly incongruous with the horrors of the bagne:
“Quelques dames entrerent au moment ou nous sortions. Fanfan leur offrit froidement des paniers de paille fabriques par lui ; Chambreuil leur sourit agreablement, et composa meme, je crois, des couplets en leur faveur, et les trois autres, qui s’etaient eveilles comme pour voir le cachet du negociant, retomberent nonchalamment sur leurs bancs. Une des dames, soit que l’air infecte l’asphyxiat, soit que le tableau hideux qu’elle avait sous les yeux l’affectat vivement, s’evanouit. La plus grande impassibilite se fit remarquer sur toutes les physionomies ! Aucun des forcats ne decela par un geste ou une expression de figure la part qu’il prenait a cet incident. En sortant, M. le commissaire du bagne offrit ses bons offices aux dames, pour leur montrer, dit-il, les details de l’etablissement. Travestir en promenade de plaisir la visite et le spectacle des lieux ou sont renfermes les condemnes, a je ne sais quoi de stupidement immoral que l’excuse de legerete peut a peine effacer. Que dire de celui qui ferme cette enceinte a la pitie qui vient consoler l’infortune, et satisfait une curiosite irreflechie avec cette grace chevaleresque et cette courtoisie francaise qu’on aime a trouver dans un administrateur de musee, ou dans un directeur de spectacle ? N’est-il pas penible de voir faire les honneurs d’un bagne comme MM. Bouton et Daguerre font les honneurs de leur Diorama ?”
This distaste for the touristic gaze did not, however, preclude a certain studied vicariousness; the desire to experience the convict’s world, albeit temporarily and in an attenuated fashion, could be part of an explicitly philanthropic investigative impulse. Alhoy does not hesitate to place his work in this category: “C’est par mes yeux que j’ai voulu voir les bagnes; j’ai voulu que mon oreille fut frappee du bruit de la double chaine. J’ai vu le forcat sur son banc; j’ai suivi dans ses travaux l’homme a la veste rouge; je me suis repose pres du bonnet vert qui couvrait pour toujours une tete condamne; jai assiste aux tristes repas du galerien; j’ai bu a sa tasse, mange a son baquet [emphasis in original].”
While lamenting that the commissaire who followed Reynaud did not facilitate such investigations, Alhoy frames those conducted by Benjamin Appert--and, by extension, Reynaud’s own actions--as similarly philanthropic:
“Si vous etiez venu a Toulon quand j’etais commissaire des chiourmes,” ajouta M. Reynaud, ‘je vous aurais ouvert les portes et les grilles toutes grandes, ainsi que je le fis a M. Appert.’ Et l’ex-commissaire me raconta qu’il etait alle au-devant et meme au-dela de tous les desirs de l’ecrivain qui alors s’occupait avec devouement de la question penale. Non-seulement il le laissa circuler seul dans toutes les localites, questionner les condamnes s’asseoir sur leur tollard, gouter a leur gamelle; mais quand il prit idee au visiteur de se rendre compte de la gene que les fers causent au condamne dans la labeur, et qu’il voulut se faire accoupler, M. Raynaud [sic] appela le chaloupier [convict blacksmith], et lui dit: ‘Ferrez M Appert.’
And yet, the phrase “meme au-dela de tous les desirs de l’ecrivain” hints at the strange and ironic turn that the anecdote would soon take.  “Quand le directeur du Journal des prisons eut pousse aussi loin qu’il voulut ses experimentations,” Alhoy continues, “M. Raynaud lui dit, d’un ton demi-serieux: ‘Maintenant, monsieur, il ne vous reste plus qu’a juger vous-meme une seule chose: c’est la bastonnade!...et je suis a vos ordres.’ M Appert ne crut pas devoir, pour le moment, pousser jusque-la ses etudes.” Appert’s own version of the story leaves out Reynaud’s quip about flogging; after explaining his desire to be chained to another convict (“[A]vant de quitter ces lieux de douleur, j’ai demande a M. Raynaud [sic] d’etre enchaine avec un forcat. Je voulais connaitre le poids des chaines et la gene qu’elles produisent”), and rendering his verdict (“Je me fis ensuite accoupler a lui [the blacksmith] pour juger de leur [the chains’] effet et de la gene d’etre attaches deux a deux; j’acquis la certitude que, pour travailler surtout, ces chaines sont extremement fatigantes, et peuvent quelquefois occasionner des accidens” [citation]), he says only, “Tel a ete mon sejour au bagne de Toulon.”
What both versions of the story have in common is a similar description of the blacksmith’s resistance to carrying out this task; it is only when he realizes that Reynaud’s order to iron Appert is accompanied by the latter’s desire to ironed that his conscience will allow him to inflict such a thing on the man whom the prisoners considered to be one of their sole benefactors. “On fit apporter au greffe les chaines les plus lourdes,” Appert says, “et le forcat habitue a ferrer les criminels recut l’ordre de m’enchainer. Cet homme ne savait trop quel parti prendre; il me regardait, puis regardait le commissaire et les autres personnes presentes; enfin, je crois que, sans me instances, il n’eut jamais voulu me mettre les chaines.” Alhoy gives a similar account of the chaloupier’s reluctance: “...M. Raynaud appela le chaloupier, et lui dit: ‘Ferrez M. Appert.’ Le chaloupier recula de trois pas. Il fallut que le commissaire renouvelat l’ordre, et que M. Appert joignit sa priere a l’injonction du chef, pour qu’on lui mit la manille et la chaine.” The convict blacksmith understands, with Appert’s clarifications, that this action fits into the larger framework of his philanthropy--a philanthropy which, according to Alhoy, Reynaud could not help but ironize even as he respected and participated in it.
