Child Development: Parents And Teachers Prioritize Helping Your Children Develop A Strong Core And Upper-Body Strength

Newborns are only able to lift their heads at first since they do not yet have fully formed muscles. They swiftly gain the capacity to sit up, crawl, and eventually walk, which frees their hands so that they may explore their surroundings. Even when their hands are closed, newborns have a natural tendency to grip. When they are older and have more experience, they become more methodical in their…

wait so what else is up with awoken amethyst besides the reflection thing

oh boy oh boy oh boy do I have an essay for you! it's mostly irl nerd stuff, but!!

Awoken amethyst is nothing like amethyst from Earth! Actual amethyst is almost always purple [but can have blue as a secondary hue], usually has color zoning and belongs to the hexagonal crystal family. Awoken amethyst is blue, has no color zoning, and has a pentagonal structure [which doesn't occur naturally]. Also, a lot of it hums and glows!

It is so unlike actual amethyst that it has been compared to a variety of other gems/minerals, including azurite, fluorite, tanzanite, sodalite/lapis lazuli and agate. So far, the Oracle Engine seems to be the main exception:

"But some of it looks purple. Why is that?" Good question! From what I've seen, it comes down to lighting and backlighting. In the Confluence and Blind Well, Awoken amethyst looks purple in the shadows but is blue when you step back. In The Corrupted strike and seasonal areas like the Coil, it's the opposite - it's purple from afar yet blue up close. The Last Wish raid shows it in purple backlighting at first, before giving way to its true color (blue).

Something something "nothing is as it seems," I suppose.

There is one more exception besides the Oracle Engine, however. And I think it's an interesting one. At the very back of Harbinger's Seclude, by the statue of the first Awoken queen Alis Li, the arches are clearly purple and resemble polished irl amethyst. What does it mean? I have no idea, I'm not a lore expert. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did mean something.

Other than that, I only know the standard lore stuff about Awoken amethyst. It's a symbol of Awoken royalty, it can be created thru Awoken favor, Techeuns use it to enhance their powers, it was once given as diplomatic gifts to Eliksni, so on and so forth. And yes, Mara did wish for the Dreaming City to be built out of amethyst.

Being a rockhound and aspiring mineralogist [and Awoken lore enthusiast], I'm always on the lookout for amethyst-related lore, but this is all I've got at the moment lol. Also I don't know if I actually answered your question but thank you for the Ask!!

Here is a screenshot of my Hunter as a token of my appreciation:

#don't get me started on the crystals in Grasp of Avarice haha #I know even less about them but I want to take them home with me #also I wish I was a lore expert but I'm not smart enough to catch all the details #so I leave that to people like Byf and Myelin and thefirstknife #but yeah!! Awoken amethyst is awesome!! #destiny the game #destiny awoken #destiny lore

Refining the Mantle

Myelination– the insulation of nerve cells with a lipid-rich sheath – performed by oligodendrocytes in response to needs of developing or remodelling neural circuits is fine-tuned morphologically by calcium signalling

just having a minor moment over Mars in the Locked Tomb.

because it remembers Curiosity and Perseverance...but it also remembers War of the Worlds. it echoes every story we ever wrote as a species about Martians invading Earth and vice versa. it remembers being named for a god of war.

John: Ah. I've resurrected everyone I like and life is good. Wait, why is someone playing the Attack on Titan theme song -

Mars: /busts down the door/ HOW YOUR BACKYARD BARBECUE GO, GOD? PRETTY GOOD IT DOESN'T SEEM.

Myelin is posting videos again. :(

OKAY, so his video I noticed is called "Can Eliksni live forever!?" and it's a pretty nice video overall with all the info we know about Eliksni biology and how they function. It's pretty much identical to the ask I got a few weeks ago and we all brainstormed the explanations aboutu Eliksni longevity and aging (did he steal this ask and our conversation? LMAO). Our conclusions and Myelin's are the same: Eliksni are based on lobsters, they are effectively immortal due to that biology and ether also helps them with growth and sustenance.

There's some other neat Eliksni info as well, specifically about how their reproduction and care for their young works. So if you're interested in some extra details and Myelin's voice isn't making you fall asleep, feel free to watch.

What I want to focus on is at the start of the video where he says that this season gave us new information. He says that "with the Season of the Plunder, Bungie has introduced a decent amount of backstory surrounding the Eliksni." The word "introduced" would imply that this has never been mentioned before. He specifically focuses on Eliksni history (the Long Drift) and the fact that lore shows that Eramis is a survivor of the Whirlwind and therefore, it shows that the Eliksni have incredibly long lives.

This irritates me when it's coming from him because it's his job to know lore. Obviously I do not expect everyone to know this stuff, but he definitely should.

So, the first thing that I noticed, even outside of Myelin (though as I said, not surprised that other people may have missed this), is what he says about the Long Drift. This video isn't the first time he implied we've not known about the Long Drift before. But we did. We knew, both in concept and in name. It's pretty much day 1 knowledge that the Eliksni fled Riis following their version of the Collapse and that they spent centuries going after the Traveler.

The name has also been mentioned before, in Beyond Light. Salvation's Grip exotic lore tab:

[in winding Eliksni script:] Encased in the cold Dark, you cease to be a flesh-and-blood thing but become a memory thing, a thing of stillness. To have memory is to be storied and to be storied is to be worthy, yes, but to be still is to be dead. We have not been still since the Long Drift, and we will never be still again.

This season expanded on the Long Drift significantly, but it did not introduce it. Would've been neat to show that Salvation's Grip is useful at least for lore by saying that it mentioned the Long Drift by name before.

And on the topic of longevity, we knew about that as well. Specifically through Variks who spoke of the Whirlwind and the fall of Riis and his attempts to preserve the House of Judgment. There's also a gorgeous art piece of Variks on Riis in Grimoire Vol 2. This Grimoire released in 2019 (and Myelin worked on it). Obviously Forsaken and Beyond Light expanded on that significantly as well through Variks and Eramis. It's funny in context with the ask I got and everyone interacting with it; nobody was surprised that the Eliksni live long. We were just brainstorming possibilities why.

There is obviously a lot of time between the Whirlwind and present day, even without specific dates and timelines, given that the Whirlwind happened before human Golden Age. We always knew that the Eliksni can be hundreds of years old, going into a thousand and above.

It's very confusing to me that he's hyping it up as brand new information. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can give people the impression that Bungie was sitting on Eliksni lore for 8 years without giving us the basics when that simply isn't true. Bungie's way of delivery has always been to give us hints, keep us looking and investigating and then deliver the conclusion at a later date. They teased the Long Drift before and maybe I'm remembering it so clearly simply because I was fascinated by the concept of it even before we knew the name.

Not mentioning previous hints can also create a belief that Bungie scrambled to come up with the Eliksni backstory for this season, when they haven't. They just expanded on it. And it makes sense that it would be expanded when we're in our closest relationship with the Eliksni to date. They had no reason to wax poetical about their history while we were murdering each other at every corner.

I don't know, I am just not a fan of manufacturing the idea that Bungie is stingy and isn't releasing bits and pieces all the time. I see no point in treating it that way when it's so much more fun to realise that something was hinted ages ago and if you paid attention, your wait was eventually rewarded and then you can also help other people discover the joy of following the lore over longer periods of time.

It's just personally fascinating to me when they give us more information and I can go back and pull older pieces that were hinting at it. I also like how seeing how new information sometimes recontextualises older information and gives it more depth and gravity, so I love diving back into older pieces to see how they work now.

It's a good video outside of that however. I am nitpicking because I am just incredibly pedantic.

#destiny 2 #eliksni #lore vibing #long post #me biting myelin for wrongly formulated sentences: 'can't help being a virgo' #but seriously though i am just so confused that he's acting like we've never heard of the long drift before #again totally fine if others didn't hear about it. but myelin? meet me in the lore pit #also sometimes going back to old lore can be yikes because things changed over the years and then it makes no sense #which is to be expected. the story has been going on for an incredibly long time and has changed directions many times #but you know. in any case most of the time there's hints before huge reveals. bungie is consistent about that #i like digging (no shit) through old lore and finding cool information that relates to something new and i like sharing it as well #i think it makes the whole story and setting feel richer than to just treat everything like it was never seen before

remember the essential oil mlm thing? everyone knew it was a stupid and dangerous pseudoscience cult, but for most people it was an abstract danger that blew over after a few years. more than anything, they thought it was dumb.

i just can't stop thinking about my buddy whose nervous system was permanently damaged because his mom had him ingest essential oils to ease his growing pains. he had a few dozen seizures and needs to be on meds for the rest of his life because of that.

#he told me that the myelin sheath in his nervous system was destroyed

ms changed my worldview because it meant that my future was unpredictability and things that i take for granted today, like my mobility, my senses or my cognitive abilities, may fail me in the long term. i dont know if ill lose them or to what degree. i just cannot make any plans because every plan will backfire no matter what.

idk somehow i just figured that what i have now i would enjoy it to the max. im going to love going up the stairs, im going to love touching the dirt, or im going to do that thing ive always wanted to do but i never dared to because i thought maybe it was not for me. im going up mountains and seeing plants and animals no one ever bothers to pay attention to. im going to love balancing my weight on rocks that are not fixed to the ground just to see if i can.

and because of this my life is probably more enriched that has ever been? sensorially, mentally and physically. and maaan... i could not recommend this enough to someone in the same situation as me

#been thinking about the possibility that physical and sensorial activity actually helps you heal from relapses faster #because of neuroplasticity #ur brain makes new paths which means more axons which means more myelin #if u take this with a dmt you are just going to kill it right? #idk this may not work with everyone but apparently there are studies supporting this and it definitely doesnt only work for ms #multiple sclerosis #this post is corny yes what do u expect from me
