Hey,y'all. I'm up early again. So I thought I'd make this post I wanted to make since last night. Anyway...since Red River/Anatolia Story is being re-released in 3-in-1 omnibus editions....I thought I'd make a list of other Viz/Shoujo Beat series I want to be re-released in 3-in-1 omnibus editions. So here we go:
Kimi ni Todoke/From Me to You
Ouran High School Host Club
Nana
From Far Away/Kanata Kara
Basara
Special A
La Corda d'oro
Lovely Complex
And...that's all I can remember for now...but there's probably more...But we'll see what happens! Here's hoping!

[スタオケ] La Corda d'Oro Starlight Orchestra Main Story Chapter 2-2 Translation
*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist
*Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut
*Main story tag will be #Main Starlight
Sakuya: Mito really does have a lot of beautifully scenic locations.
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
⊳ Choice: Is it your first time here, Sakuya?
Sakuya: …I don’t think I’ve gone anywhere else other than Tokyo and Yokohama…
⊳ Choice: Let’s enjoy ourselves since we’re here.
Sakuya: What’s with that super bookmarked and labeled guidebook you have there with you? We’re not here to play, you know…
Tomoharu: Wow… Hey, this stamina ramen looks delicious. Why don’t we come to try it out next time?
Hayate: It’s said that the first person in Japan to ever eat ramen was Lord Mito Mitsukuni.
⊳ Choice: What’s a “Kodokan”?
Hayate: What, you’re from the General Education department, and you know nothing about Japan’s history?
Hayate: It’s the domain school founded by Tokugawa Nariaki, a feudal lord from the Mito Clan.
Hayate: Its development eventually had a great influence on Yoshida Shoin, Saigo Takamori, as well as the other patriots during the final years of the Edo period.
Hayate: This Bizenbori Canel seems to be part of Modern Mito’s eight picturesque sights, including the Hinuma River.
Hayate: It’s a famous historic city that has prospered since ancient times, thanks to the waterborne transport trade of the Naka River.
Joyo Male Student 2: C’mon, c’mon! Seems like it has already started!
Joyo Male Student 1: You were way too slow with that bowl of ramen!
Tomoharu: I wonder what happened? A fight, maybe?
Ginga: Maybe, but hearing them mention ramen makes me want to have a bowl of it for myself too.
Ginga: Stamina ramen chock full of ingredients, huh. But Mito Ramen sounds good too~
Sakuya: Huh? Wait… hang on.
Sakuya: Sensei? Didn’t you just cook rice back at the minivan’s kitchen? And quite a large amount of it too.
Ginga: Huh? Err…
Sakuya: And weren’t you saying how all you had to do was to purchase some side dishes for a perfect lunch?
Ginga: Ehh? But I can just throw them into the refrigerator, can’t I~?
Sakuya: The refrigerator isn’t capable of holding that much food, and you know that.
Sakuya: Looks like it’s decided then. I’ll go buy some side dishes for us. Ramen next time, yes?
Ginga: …Fine…
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Sakuya: Honestly. His lack of planning is shockingly disconcerting.
Sakuya: And you look like you’re having fun with everything and anything, either way… Hm?
Sakuya: This sounds like… a Trumpet? But where is it coming from?
Sakuya: “Let’s go check it out”? Wait- Hey, (L/n)!
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Sakuya: Wow… What a rich and smooth reverberation…
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Joyo Male Student 1: *sobbing* Kirigaya-san… How amazing…
Joyo Male Student 2: My heart’s been rekindled…
Sakuya: Wha- Watch out. This place is filled with dangerous-looking people!
Sakuya: Let’s quickly make our escape, (L/n). We have to get out before they notice us.
⊳ Choice: I want to listen to the performance a little more / I want to know that Trumpeter’s name
Sakuya: Now’s not the time for that!
Yasu: Oh no! Boss! Something terrible happened!
Akira: Hm? What’s happened, Yasu?
Yasu: Some guys from Kasa High are tryin’ to pick a fight out at the bridge! They seem super full of themselves!
Yasu: Our 1st and 2nd years are getting overwhelmed by about 3 or so people.
Akira: Oh? Now that’s some guts they have to be attacking Joyo in broad daylight.
Akira: They asked for it, so I’m going to play along. Let’s go.
Delinquents: YEAH!
Sakuya: I guess they’re all going out to… fight? Everyone filed out just like that, at a snap of his fingers…
Sakuya: I don’t think they saw us at all.
⊳ Choice: I missed his name.
Sakuya: You mean that Trumpeter? I heard someone addressing him as “Kirigaya-san”?
⊳ Choice: Now my adrenaline’s pumping!
Sakuya: You’re really prone to sticking your nose into things that you really should be steering clear of.
⊳ Choice: Terrifying…
Sakuya: Well, I suppose we should count our lucky stars for having avoided them.
Sakuya: Besides, what is this place? The signboard says “Ouroboros”...
Sakuya: There’s a stage here, but it doesn’t seem to be in use.
Sakuya: Anyway, let’s get out of here quick. It’ll be troublesome if those people come back.
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Ginga: Huh, I see.
Tomoharu: A delinquent Trumpeter? Sounds like Louis Armstrong if you ask me.
⊳ Choice: Louis Armstrong?
Tomoharu: He’s an American Jazz Musician. He was sent to a Juvenile Home as a kid and had many ups and downs in life, but…
Tomoharu: Despite facing discrimination, he was a brilliantly talented genius Trumpeter.
⊳ Choice: Yeah…
Tomoharu: I should have gone with you guys.
Tomoharu: “Ouroboros”...? I recall that that was the name of the Jazz Café & Bar that opened for business a couple of years ago.
Tomoharu: Here, look. This video seems to have been taken from when the place was still in business.
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
I saw 2 Trumpets being played on the video that Narumiya showed me on his phone.
⊳ Choice: It’s the guy from earlier!
Tomoharu: What? This performer’s the same guy you saw earlier? Wow. He’s definitely good…
Ginga: We can’t really see the other guy. The video’s too dark.
Tomoharu: It looks like this video was shot from the audience, after all.
Hayate: This uniform looks like Joyo Technical High School’s; the same school that Osakabe-san is in.
Tomoharu: What?
Sakuya: Come to think of it… Those guys were saying something about “Joyo” as well…
⊳ Choice: Let’s check out Joyo Technical High School.
Hayate: Yeah. We’re going to ask Osakabe-san to join us, so we might as well drop by.
Sakuya: That’s the school that those guys we saw are attending, right? I’m already having a bad feeling about this…

Thank you so much for the summon @king-chaos-world
1) Favorite Color
Gold (it's a color, I guess? If not, yellow it's close enough), all the shades it comes in. I like the shine 😌
2) Currently Reading
Chewing my way through the 3rd edition of Mutant Chronicles core rulebook. It's been a long month :'D
Other than that, I'm currently going down a tag's rabbit hole on Ao3
3) Last Movie
"The Core", because every friend told me it was a trainwreck and not to watch it, and I am very stubborn. It's certainly a movie.
4) Last Song
"Heads Carolina, Tails California", by Jo Dee Messina (I'm back in my country music era which I never left)
5) Last Series
La Corda d'Oro: Primo Passo (does anime counts? it does, in my book)
6) Currently playing
Dragon Age: Origins
7) Currently working on
Too many things, lmao. From the next 'season' of a DnD campaign, to chipping away at drafting a MGiT long fic, and lots of art WIPs. But mainly, working on a big art commission for @\the-bad-batch-baroness <3
Tag, you're it (but no pressure!): @the-bad-batch-baroness @t3mpest98

the perfect anime/manga for me
(c) Kure Yuki, KOEI (La Corda d'Oro)
the perfect anime/manga for me is La Corda d'oro..primo passo
…because.
i anime/manga.
..who would've THOUGHT i too had a romantic side..
I like anime where there is a prestigious school kinda thing/social thing in school..um. yeah..
There are a lot of bishounen. [..u didn't hear that from me]
and lastly. IT'S ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!! ^_^
yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!
freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….
for those of u who don't understand..
my mom's side job used to be a piano teacher…she also used to play for the church.
and when she was pregnant..she was ALREADY playing music..
so she taught me…
my first lesson was when i was 3
,,and. well.. i know i don't really have the discipline [well..patience for that matter] to pursue anything musical-related nowadays..lol
but.
still.
i still like listening to classical music. especially played by the piano or the violin..
so. yeah. end of background story.
EDIT: yeah. just saw episode 3. i'm inspired. i think i'm going to start playing the piano again. hopefully. i'll have the patience this time. =]

ALMANACCO DEL FESTIVAL DI MONTECARLO – 9° EDIZIONE 1983
ALMANACCO DEL FESTIVAL DI MONTECARLO – 9° EDIZIONE 1983
8-12 dicembre 1983
GIURIA
- Principe Ranieri III, Presidente di Giuria
- John Ringling North
- Jiuhua Xia
- Gerd Siemoneit-Barum
- Knut Dahl
- David Smart

PALMARES DEL FESTIVAL
CLOWN D’ORO
LI LIPING - CONTORSIONISTA
CLOWN D’ARGENTO
FLAVIO TOGNI - GRUPPO MISTO CAVALLI E ELEFANTI
SERGEI IGNATOV - GIOCOLIERE
DUO LOTHARAS - FILO ALTO
TROUPE BALKANSKI - BASCULE
Il primo Festival senza la Principessa Grace. E il primo con una giuria interamente composta da addetti ai lavori. Tornano gli chapiteau blu del Circo Americano, al posto di quelli bianchi precedenti. Flavio Togni vince il suo secondo Clown d’Argento con lo straordinario numero misto di 4 cavalli palomini e 4 elefanti, ma sono quattro i numeri che porta e messi appunto appositamente per il Festival e pertanto inediti (presenta infatti anche due cavallerie e un gruppo di sei elefanti). In tanti gli avrebbero attribuito un Oro, ma la cinese Li Liping conquisterà la Giuria. Sergei Ignatov si aggiudica l’Argento, mentre il giovanissimo Antony Gatto di soli 10 anni penalizzato dall’esibirsi nello spettacolo della domenica pomeriggio, saprà farsi apprezzare al Gala e si accontenterà di premi speciali. Avrà tutta una carriera per dimostrare il suo talento. In alcune interviste il Principe manifesta disappunto e delusione per la scarsa partecipazione dei direttori di circo internazionali. Anche l’Associazione dei direttori di tutto il mondo langue e non porta a risultati concreti e man mano sfumerà. Nonostante questo, sarà un bel Festival che raccoglie alcuni dei migliori numeri degli anni Ottanta, da Ursula Bottcher ai clown Chickys. Nutrita la partecipazione italiana: oltre a Flavio Togni, Aris Macaggi, gli Aris Brothers (Macaggi), il Trio Chicago e Rodriguez al trapezino.

Some manga I've read lately
Ratings Here
Shortcake Cake #1 & #2 - 5 stars
Shortcake cake is another romance manga where there are 3 main leads. Within the first book we learn that both the male leads are interested in the female lead character, but she isn't really interested in either of them. I think it's very interesting to have a female lead who just isn't really interested in romance at first. By the end of the first book, one of the male leads confesses. The next book though, she ends up rejecting his feelings and the second male lead comes to learn that he actually has feelings for her too. They both are very protective of her when we learn one of the male leads has a brother whose trying to get in a relationship with the female lead just to get on his brother's nerves. I definitely don't mind reading more of this one to see where it goes, but it definitely focuses on love and how these characters view love.
La Corda d'Oro #1 - 4 stars
This series focuses on a music school where the main character learns that she can see fairies and the fairy expects her to compete with a magic violin in a music competition. There's also a rumor that every year a couple wins that both play the violin. Some of these characters are very enjoyable to read, but the male lead kind of comes off very aggressive and I'm just not as interested in him as I have been with other male leads.
Cherry Magic #4 - 5 stars
Both the male leads finally go on their first date and it's really cute! It's kinda a shame this series has such short volumes though..

[スタオケ] La Corda d'Oro Starlight Orchestra Main Story Chapter 1-3 Translation
*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist
*Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut
*Main story tag will be #Main Starlight
Sakuya: *yawns* …Sleepy…
Sakuya: I couldn’t help it. My interest was piqued by what happened yesterday; so much that I couldn’t sleep.
Sakuya: Ahh… My body’s so lethargic… Maybe I should ditch class today…
Friend 1: Ah, morning, (L/n)-chan, Kujo-kun.
Friend 2: I saw it! How surprising!! Good luck with the Orchestra!
Friend 1: There’s a poster posted on the notice board, calling for recruitments for the Starlight Orchestra.
Friend 1: Along with both of your names down as the representatives.
Sakuya: What!? When did we ever sign up to be any sort of representative?
Friend 1: You didn’t? Then you should hurry and inform them of their mistake.
Friend 1: Their office’s down at a place called “The Magnolia”.
Friend 2: Yeah. The general ed’s building is called “The Maple”, and the music ed’s building is known as “The Sakura”... but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of The Magnolia.
Friend 1: Apparently, there was another building hidden deep inside Forest Square.
Friend 1: But it’s so run down that it’s practically like an abandoned haunted house, so no one has been there in a long while.
Sakuya: A haunted house…
Friend 2: Uh oh. I’ve got to get to morning training. Bye!
Sakuya: The Magnolia, huh… I’m pretty reluctant to do so myself, but how about we go check it out after school?
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Sakuya: You’re asking me why I look so reluctant to be here? Right back at you. Why are you so okay with this?
Sakuya: …Ahh, let's just hurry and get this over with so that I can go home and sleep.
Sakuya: Okay, okay. I know that there’s no use in me complaining now. Let’s hurry and go reject this guy.
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Sakuya: This is The Magnolia? They said it was akin to a haunted house, but this actually does look legit…
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Sakuya: What beautiful hallways. Looks like it’s equipped with a Practice Room too. Wow, it’s actually pretty-
Sakuya: …!
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Kazuma: A word of warning, if you may. You'll be kicked out of this place if you’re unable to produce actual results in a month.
Ginga: Ehh~ C’mon, don’t be so cruel~ Give us some leeway. Please?
Ginga: I mean, look! I think we’re gonna be able to get enough members. We already have 2 people, for starters.
Kazuma: How many times do you think I’ve already heard that coming from you? What are they, placeholders?
Ginga: I’m serious this time! For real! They’re probably headed here right now! …Probably. Ahh… No, maybe not… I’m not so sure anymore…
Kazuma: Which is it?
Sakuya: …Looks like we caught you at a bad time. We’ll just excuse ourselves then.
Ginga: O-Oh! OHHHH!! SERIOUSLY!? They came! Good, good. I knew it was right to have believed in you!
Ginga: Thank you for coming, (L/n)! In any case, Shinomori, this is the new Orchestra’s Concertmistress.
Kazuma: What kind of joke is this? They’re both students from general ed.
Ginga: Eh~ Who cares if they’re in general ed? Stop nitpicking! Who knows? They might have a hidden spark of talent in them!
Kazuma: Save your sleep talk for when you’re asleep, and only when you’re asleep.
Kazuma: The Starlight Orchestra is being created to represent Japan in International Concours.
Kazuma: I’m pretty sure the Association did inform you of this criteria.
Ginga: Ahh, geez! I know, I know!
⊳ Choice: International Concours!? / Represent Japan!?
Kazuma: Yes. In other words, we weren’t looking for you. Come, the exit’s this way.
Ginga: Wait, hold up! It’s precisely because we’re gonna be turning up International Concours that we need her!
Kazuma: I don’t understand you.
Kazuma: Tsukishiro Kei’s the Concertmaster of Glanz Symphony Orchestra, who will be appearing in the qualifiers for the Concours.
Kazuma: Do you think she can beat Tsukishiro?
Sakuya: …Tsukishiro Kei is going to participate in this Concours?
Kazuma: Of course. Glanz was last year’s representative.
Tsukishiro’s going to be participating in this Concours too…
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Kei: Nicely done. You are the first person to have ever made me feel as moved as I did.
Kei: Now, another. Let us challenge each other for the road to the world.
Kazuma: Hey, you. I do hope you’re not imagining something conveniently stupid up in that head of yours.
☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆
Kazuma: I don’t think you’re going to be able to beat him. Not with that stupidly silly face of yours.
Kazuma: He has made Glanz stronger through the addition of new members— all exceptional talents from Orchestras throughout the country.
Kazuma: …Even members of the Starlight Orchestra were not spared from his recruitment, thus leading to the disbandment of the very Orchestra.
Kazuma: You’re greatly mistaken if you think your adoration for him is going to be enough to take you to places.
Kazuma: His father is the board chairman of the Association. Are you even prepared to cross paths with a genuine elite like him if you undertake the role of Concertmistress?
I do! Or so I’d like to say… but it doesn’t seem fitting for me to do so now…
Sakuya: C’mon. Now’s the time to tell him that you aren’t prepared and you’re going home.
Ginga: Hey, you! Don’t go breaking at a mere sneeze!
Ginga: Don’t you want to be part of an Orchestra? Chances like this don't exactly fall into your lap all the time, you know?
Ginga: And, well… It’s insane to go up against Tsukishiro and Glanz. Normally, anyway.
Ginga: Normal high schoolers don’t even stand a chance to go up on the same stage as them.
Ginga: But hear me out, Kujo, (L/n). Everything’s fair game during a Concours.
Ginga: Neither your history nor family background matters up there; you can stand on the same stage.
Ginga: And you can face off Tsukishiro Kei. That’s what makes a Concours a Concours.
Ginga: Although, if you want to look on enviously from the audience while doing nothing, then that’s fine too.
Ginga: But there are still plenty of obscure musicians in this world just like you.
Ginga: You can create music together with them and aim to go big worldwide. Don’t you think that’s worth a shot?
Sakuya: Worldwide… with music…?
Ginga: The choice is yours. But if you’re willing to give it a shot, then I shall be the one to lead you into the world.
Ginga: Let’s make the best Orchestra this world has ever seen.
⊳ Choice: I’ll try my hand at it once more!
Ginga: Alright! Now that’s what I want to hear!
⊳ Choice: No.
Ginga: What?
Sakuya: …Well, what did you expect? It’s impossible.
Ginga: Ahhh~ I can’t hear anythiiiing! I can’t hear anything other than a “yes”!
Sakuya: How immature is this guy…!?
Kazuma: Glanz has the award-winning Tsukishiro Kei as their Concertmaster, and here, we have a Concertmistress from general ed. This competition’s over.
Ginga: Ah, geez! Enough with the award yapping! I can’t believe how boring you’ve grown up to be, Shinomori!
Ginga: Are you saying that all we have to do is to gather famed musicians and get them to join us? An Orchestra isn’t that simple!
Ginga: Do you think we’ll win against Tsukishiro if we play the same hand as him? I believe in her! She’s, well…
Ginga: Compared to any random person out there, this one’s stupid, clumsy, slow, and has no experience at all, but uhhhh— she has guts!
Kazuma: Well… You’re the Music Director. You can do whatever suits you fancy, just that it’ll be your neck on the chopping board if you’re unable to produce results within this month.
Ginga: No, that’s not what I meant. I actually managed to get members, didn’t I? Isn’t that considered actual-
Kazuma: Results? No. We need results in the form of actual activities being carried out. In any case, it’s something you’ll require anyway if you intend to participate in the qualifiers.
Kazuma: In which case, you’ll have to create an ensemble or something and hold a concert in order to get selected.
Kazuma: Of course, if the concert flops, then that’s off with your head too. I’ll be seeing myself out then, goodbye.
Sakuya: …And now we have an ultimatum.
Ginga: Yeah… Err… Being spurred into action out of desperation isn’t all that bad of a motivator either!
Ginga: You’ll help me out here, won’t you? You will, right? Yes! Thank you, (L/n), Kujo!
Sakuya: No, I’ve already stopped playing the violin and-
Ginga: I used my entire savings to repair The Magnolia— I’m broke!
Sakuya: Are you going to dump me and the freshie Concertmistress? Don’t leave us~!
⊳ Choice: Don’t leave us~!
Sakuya: Ahh! Stop clinging to me! Okay, okay!
⊳ Choice: Let’s do this together!
Sakuya: I’ve been having a bad feeling about this since yesterday…
⊳ Choice: I’m starting to regret this.
Sakuya: If only you’d felt that way a little earlier…
⊳ Choice: Sorry for dragging you into this…
Sakuya: Don’t pull that face… It’s not like it’s your fault anyway.
Ginga: So far so good. In any case, we’ve got two Violins and me on the piano for our current ensemble~
Sakuya: Ahh, for God’s sake! I’m just putting this out here, but I don’t think we’re going to succeed at all!

(c) Kure Yuki, KOEI (La Corda d'Oro)
I am overjoyed because music has filled my soul.
I’m talking about La Corda d'Oro Primo Passo…
Golden String..First Step [literally translated..ahem]
I am so. Happy.
..and not happy as in ‘jumping up and down screaming my lungs out..]
..it’s.. “silent happy”
..inner happiness as melmeltold me..
Like what alextold me.. “I was really happy today.”
..still am.
The effect of that VERY SIMPLE… VERY CLICHÉ… and quite PREDICTABLE anime… is so profound in me.
It led my back to music.
Today, I spent 2 hours playing the piano….
relearning “Fluttering Leaves, Op. 147 No. 3” by Carl Kölling…
..pretty much until my hands started to hurt from lack of practice.
I did this.. even though I have a bio test tomorrow.. and trig hw too..
…Tomorrow.
I’m relearning 2 pieces.. or maybe 1 piece and learn a new one.
I’m still deciding which.
But. It’s a start.
I really like this feeling.
…and what’s weird is that I’m so calm about it.
This isn’t happiness..it’s joy.

Nell'episodio finale della prima serie di "Ducktales" andata in onda in USA nel 1990, a causa della solita avidità di Zio Paperone combinata con la grettezza di Cuordipietra Famedoro e con gli estremi poteri male utilizzati di un mistico manufatto (l'oca dorata) l'intero pianeta Terra va incontro alla cosiddetta "morte dorata", trasformandosi in oro. Paperone, diventando peraltro una statua aurea nel processo come tutto il resto del pianeta, riesce in extremis a riposizionare il manufatto nella sua posizione originaria, così abbiamo un lieto fine e la trasformazione viene invertita. Tutto bene, direte voi. Ne siamo davvero sicuri? E sì, è un altro post che parte da un favoleggio Disney a base del biondo metallo e finisce con un’apocalisse di dolore per tutti.
I ragazzi del canale youtube "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell" si sono domandati, e l'hanno poi domandato anche al professor Matt Caplan, docente di fisica all'Illinois State University, cosa succederebbe se la Terra diventasse d'oro (loro hanno immaginato che la colpa sia di Re Mida, ma noi preferiamo ancorarci alle memorie, colme di cartoni Disney, di infanzie felici e traumatizzate). Hanno ipotizzato 3 possibili scenari, tutti corredati da calcoli precisi che potete verificare (link a fine post), a seconda di come effettivamente avvenga la magia della trasformazione in oro. Nel seguito, la trasformazione in oro riguarda solo ed esclusivamente ciò che è solido e in diretto contatto con la terra: niente gas dorati, no oceani d'oro, bambine in codini che saltano la corda niente oro per voi se siete a mezz'aria. Ipotizziamo inoltre, per semplicità di ragionamento, che l'oca dorata cominci a trasformare ogni cosa in oro partendo dalla cima della cupola del deposito di Paperone.
Caso 1 - ogni singolo atomo del pianeta muta in oro
L'oro ha numero atomico 79, cioè ha 79 elettroni e protoni. La stragrande maggioranza degli atomi sul pianeta ne ha decisamente meno; in questo scenario, sarebbe quindi necessario creare quantità immense di materia, da confinare nello stesso spazio dove precedentemente c'erano gli atomi di altre sostanze. Questo causa un aumento sproporzionato della densità del materiale oggetto della trasformazione: gli atomi d'oro, che sono grossini, si trovano confinati in spazi ridotti e si respingono. Come conseguenza, a partire dal deposito di Paperone si propagano in onde sferiche immense esplosioni atomiche. Se il fronte d'onda tridimensionale dorato è più veloce dell'annichilimento che si lascia dietro, la Terra si consuma in preda alle esplosioni fino a sparire; in caso contrario, di Paperopoli resta un buco fumante e probabilmente radioattivo, ma il resto del pianeta è salvo.
Caso 2 - gli atomi si ridistribuiscono tra di loro gli elettroni e i protoni per "montare" atomi d'oro senza la creazione di nuova materia
In questo caso, necessariamente, il numero di atomi complessivi diminuisce, a parità di volume; ne consegue che la materia è meno densa, in modo diametralmente opposto al caso precedente. Il pianeta comincia a collassare sotto la propria gravità: il suolo si abbassa e chi non è ancorato ad esso comincia a cadere, in modo simile agli astronauti in orbita (che non "volano", ma non fanno altro che cadere continuamente), percependo peraltro la loro stessa sensazione. Una volta che il pianeta ha raggiunto un equilibrio, la gravità, che non è ovviamente mai cessata, si fa sentire, e tutti i superstiti dovrebbero quindi schiantarsi al biondo suolo, diventando parte integrante del blocco di metallo. Ma probabilmente questo non è un problema per loro, perché sono polverizzati da tempo: l'implosione del pianeta ha innalzato la temperatura del nucleo fino a un milione di gradi, generando al contempo onde d'urto di potenza inimmaginabili che spazzano via l'atmosfera e tutto ciò che si trova in essa. Le temperature raggiungono e superano di molto quelle superficiali del Sole, e la Terra diventa una palla di plasma d'oro, espellendone parecchio nello spazio circostante e contraendosi. Il destino del nostro pianeta in questo caso è quello di diventare, alla lunga, una disabitata palla aurea che orbita attorno ad un Sole che non è più il nostro.
Caso 3 - magia pura: nessuna creazione né ridistribuzione di elettroni, semplicemente per incantesimo ogni atomo senza farsi domande si ritrova ad essere oro, nessuna variazione di densità.
Siccome la densità è sempre la stessa, il pianeta è ora semplicemente d'oro, come se fosse già "nato" così: ci sono case d'oro, alberi d'oro, strade d'oro, sottaceti d'oro e tutto è in equilibrio, giusto? No. Adesso la Terra è molto più massiva (ovvero in modo sbagliato ma famo a capirse, "pesa" molto di più). Come conseguenza, la gravità diventa insostenibile per ogni essere vivente (con la possibile eccezione dei tardigradi, ecco magari loro ce la fanno): piovono uccelli, aerei, nuvole, Amelie che volano sulla scopa, foglie secche nell'aria, e la pressione atmosferica vi comprime i polmoni facendovi rapidamente soffocare, se non morite prima di caldo. La temperatura sale infatti a 150°, cuocendovi. Ma anche se per ipotesi sopravviveste a tutto questo, tutte le montagne più alte di 2km, sotto questa pressione e temperatura vi travolgerebbero in una valanga aurea. Il pianeta andrebbe incontro ad una catastrofe geologica, con terremoti di potenza inimmaginabile che lo ridisegnerebbero. Probabilmente tutto colerebbe negli oceani, bollenti (così ci liberiamo anche della vita acquatica, sai mai), che coprirebbero il pianeta lasciando poche terre emerse, ma molto scintillanti.
Morale: Zio Paperone è un pericoloso terrorista cui dovrebbe essere negato ogni accesso a manufatti aureopennuti.
