#science fucks my brain

[ultimateinferno]

I know the Zelda Timeline is hardly the most popular thing out there, but for me, it's always been endlessly fascinating. Everything is the same. It's all different. It's linear. It's cyclical. It branches and twists and comes back together. It disregards its predecessors. It can't let them go. It thrashes against change. It can't stay the same.

Every game is a reboot.

But they're also not.

I think the story of The Legend of Zelda is the epitome of narrative doublethink. In order to truly buy in, you must accept the simultaneous facets that none of the games matter to one another and that they all do. They're the same story. They're absolutely not.

The thing about the timeline, to me, by being both codified and nebulous, is what ties this cow tools of a narrative together. It's a puzzle without a box. It's total fucking nonsense, but so is reality. Things won't ever truly make sense, but what if they did. What if we took it from a new angle and... hmm. No. That won't work

Or maybe...

Ultimately, the Zelda Timeline is quite simply a farcical creative writing prompt. A dare. A challenge. To take these pieces not designed to fit together and give them order. Do the writers themselves care? Absolutely not. I do, though. So fuck it.

#zelda #the legend of zelda #tloz #loz #legend of zelda #ocarina of time #oot #breath of the wild #botw #a link to the past #alttp #tears of the kingdom #totk #like honestly its not really that confusing for me at large but patching up the holes is half the fun #no other series really has that ''everything is the exact same and also completely different'' #it scratches the parts of my brain that likes to piece together stories and worldbuilding #and also the part that likes to piece together science #like call this pretentious but real life is fucking nonsense too #this one is just a controlled environment

Corrupted by Design CH 1 | Feyd-Rautha x Reader

After generations of pillaging and destroying their ecosystem, you are assigned by the Emperor to work on with the Harkonnens to improve their planet’s agriculture as Imperial Ecologist. However, Giedi Prime is far from welcoming, and you must fight to survive the horrors you endure at the hands of the Harkonnens. When you catch the eye of the Baron’s youngest nephew, and most prized possession, you step into a world complicated by politics and revenge.

Tags: Unbeta'd, AFAB Reader, multiple OCs, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, enemy to friends to lovers/enemy lovers, slow burn, fake science, blood, violence, gore, body horror, cannibalism, uncle/nephew incest (implied), eventual smut, etc.

A/N: I’ve never read the books, so this is a combination of the Villeneuve films, the Dune Wiki, and a heavy dose of just making shit up lol. I try my best to make Reader as nondescript as possible, but there are mentions of having periods and body hair in later chapters. As a warning up front, this will not have a Happily Ever After ending, but maybe more like Happy For Now?

Please mind the tags; this is very dark, but that comes with the territory.

Chapter One: Like Meat (Spoiled)

Previous Chapter ⦾ Next Chapter

When you first arrived at Giedi Prime, nothing could have adequately prepared you for the shock the harsh environment brought. 

Approaching the planet, dark, heavy clouds of pollution choked its atmosphere, seen even from your descent into the atmosphere. Any hope you’d had on your mission here began to wither as you saw the goliath manufacturing plants and landfills that scarred the horizon on all sides. Even the advanced Sardakaur technology on this ship couldn’t soften the harsh winds. Could this be the reason why they accepted you— a last-ditch effort to salvage whatever was left of this godforsaken planet…?

When you landed, you rose unsteadily to your feet and grabbed your luggage. Two large bags and one satchel tied at your waist. The rest unloaded off the ship, full of your tools and plants. Your entire life packed away, always ready for the next move. An escort accompanied you off ship, the rest staying inside. Not that you would blame them; if it was not required of you, you would not leave, either.

is there a comprehensive list somewhere of all the serious injuries kiryu has ever gotten because man am i curious. i want to know the Full Scope of how fucked up this man’s body must be

#it’s for. science #and to appease the autism brain goblins #cause like off the top of my head. he’s been stabbed in the chest/abdomen (critically) at least 2-3 times. shot in the chest/abdomen #at least three times. more stab wounds and bullet wounds that Weren’t as serious (like in the shoulder or what have you) #a BILLION instances of blunt force trauma to the head like Jesus Christ. in yakuza 6 alone he’s clobbered in the head enough times in a row #that it’s probably equal or More to what literally Killed tachibana #his lungs have probably been punctured by bullets or whatever else a few times and yet he STILL smokes. admittedly much less than he used to #due to not wanting to do it around the kids and because there’s hardly any places you’re allowed to smoke anymore (that’s for the best #in his case) like at least he’s not as bad as akiyama. but still good god you should not be smoking at All. dr emoto should slap you #who fucking knows dude he might have only one kidney left in there at this point. his guts have been thoroughly rearranged Not in a sexy way #rambling #kiryu

quick note - this blog is gonna be sparse again for at least this week. trying new medications and tbh initial side effects are not super pleasant + actual effects build up. as a result: currently as if unmedicated for mental health, with anxiety+ side effect, extra fatigue, dizziness, and fatigue. it's uh, sure something.

totally recognize that most of y'all know we're absent at times due to health things, just wanted to give a heads up that this one is at least anticipated.

#fun fact sometimes condensing meds just means poorer treatment of some conditions #this is a re-expansion + new thing #so that instead of poorly treating my mental health and using an unusually high dose SNRI for another (physical) condition #i will hopefully both be in less pain AND not depressed af AND also have an appetite again #i doubt i will be lucky and not have a fucked stomach due to meds but one can hope that an appetite will allow me to eat foods that upset #my stomach a lot less #my health is forever a massive balancing act #every time a medical thing is like 'so what meds do u take' i'm like here i wrote it down for u #and they're like 'oh. ooookay. let me just...' *five minutes of typing and clicking later* #'so! what did you come in for again? uhuh. you said you experience pain daily? with your chronic pain thing? hm. have you tried yoga?' #/gen #like. straight up every time i say 'i am in pain all the time due to fibromyalgia' they are like 'ooh studies say regular exercise helps' #and like. theoretically yes! but also. i would be lying if i said the fibromyalgia studies i've skimmed don't set off general 'bad science' #alarm bells in my brain #like... cool you performed a fibromyalgia study with... all male lab rats? mhmm? so are you aware fibromyalgia appears to occur #overwhelmingly in women? like. data seems to suggest between 70-85%? #(not that the data can't still indicate things but it certainly makes male rats a poor choice of model for tests on it) #also just... idk i've looked at some metaanalysis and been like 'okay cool theory and for all i know about human bio or bio in general that #sounds more or less correct BUT. you never discussed that one study on this subject that did NOT support your conclusion. #and that's 1) interesting when it was the most diverse group of subjects and the exceptions often teach just as much as the 'rule' #2) just shitty science. tell me how your theory is still credible when some evidence doesn't fit the model. #like... 'given that all other studies were primarily conducted on white american women in their 30s to 40s it is possible that this model #only explains (the early effects of fibro since that's a typical onset period) / (a possible genetic link primarily found in white women) / #(a possible sign of bias in diagnosis that demonstrates the possibility that there are different causes) / combinations of all of those #like... idk a paper that just throws out things that don't support it is a pretty big red flag #it doesn't mean the conclusion is entirely incorrect but it is often important to understand the context in which it applies #like... it's very easy to jump to an incorrect conclusion if you used something in the wrong context #ie: thumbs up is a good job / positive thing in a lot of western civilizations. teenage kee once went to china and discovered it to be #neutral to offensive in many areas outside of major tourist locations that were used to it #anyways i gotta sleep

Thinking about how Astarion would be a great hunter/butcher's companion... Like you have to bleed the meat of animals anyway before it's human edible, so why not avoid waste and give it to him? Just don't suck down all the liquid and moisture in the carcass, my dude. You don't need to drink the cellular water out of the muscle fibers or, god forbid, eat the raw fat. Leave some of that in for the steak not to taste like leather.

#arget rambles #bg3 #astarion #my food science brain is going haywire #like he clearly doesn't need to be desiccating the animal #this vampire is just someone who never had anyone to plan around his dietary needs in a sustainable manner #and god damn it #im gonna come up with the fucking menu #why was the boar desiccated if he just drinks blood? #WERE YOU DEHYDRATED AND YOU SUCKED THE JUICES OUT EVEN THO IT'S NOT A REAL FOOD SOURCE FOR YOU ASTARION??? #alternatively if vampires do need to eat cellular fluid #what makes that different than water? #can he just sip on fucking iv bags????

oh my god i need to stop going onto tumblr after writint a single sentence. Doli this is why you cant get shit done

hey, for purely angst purposes, listen to the song "in the wind" by lord huron, imagine it as a song from zuko to (dead) sokka, and fucking suffer. obviously older zukka here but i love the suffering.

hey anon? yeah, FUCK you

I literally will never ever recover from this

“You are the purest soul I’ve ever known in my life.” Shut up shut up SHUT UP

“You know where you can find me again. I’ll be waiting here ‘til the stars fall out of the sky.” SCREAMING CRYING??? Imagining Sokka in the spirit world and Zuko knowing that he’s there but he can’t do anything about it because the connection to the spirit world was severed hundreds of thousands of years ago and he feels helpless because Sokka is RIGHT THERE-

“When you left I was far too young.” BC HE DIED YOUNG.

“To know you were worth more than the moon and the sun.” Do I even need to explain this one 😭😭

“You are still alive when I look to the sky in the night.” BC SOKKA SHOWED HIM THE SOUTHERN LIGHTS FUCK OFF

“I would wait for a thousand years, I would wait right here by the lake my dear.” Imagining Zuko sitting by the turtleduck pond, just staring at all the spots that Sokka and him used to sit. Sometimes he just stares at the water for hours, head empty but filled with grief. AGHHhH

“Years have gone but the pain is the same.” Don’t even want to imagine lok Zuko mourning him rn

“I have passed my days with the sound of your name.” Him rereading old letters, trying desperately to remember Sokka’s voice, always saying his name to himself so he’d never forget, even if he knows he won’t.

“Well they say that you’re gone and I should move on, I wonder: how do they know, baby?” All of his palace staff and friends and family knowing that even if Zuko acts like he’s moved on he hasn’t and they can’t do anything but stare at him with pity and he hates that they know

“Death is a wall but it can’t be the end.” HES IN THE SPIRIT WORLD WAITING FOR YOU 😭

“You are my protector and my best friend.” …..I need a 45 minute nap to recover from this line

Yeah so uh, this is the dead Sokka from Zuko song

Anon I demand a 200 word, fully formatted apology x

#atla #zukka #zuko x sokka #asks #my asks #AHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM FUCKING #CRYING???? #NO I CANT I CANT DO RHIS RN #WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE #ITS SO THEM BUT IM #I CANT #YES I NEEDED TO DO A WHOLE ANALYSIS BC IM INSANE LIKE THAT #(anyway anon in all seriousness #thank u for hurting me and exposing me to this #bc I didn’t know I needed it until I needed it #like I’ll think about this forever #I’ll literally have to stop during my science exam tmr and think abt this #changed my brain chemistry changed the trajectory of my life #thank u)

#aye. in another life i would have loved to be an illustrator #i dont like to do digital tho and i dont wanna b a starving artist and i like science too much #but it would make me so hsppy if i was allowed to draw all day everyday #forever and ever drawing #but nooo i wanted to get a phd in microbial evolution. and im procrastinating working on my preproposal #literally doing anything to not work on it. i coulf have been a illustrator. an endocrinologist. a neurobiologist. a paleontologist. but i #chose microbial ecologist then thought no fuck ecology and went for photosynthetic mechanisms #bc i do love my lil cyanos and i do love Microbiology. i love those underapprecated lil guys #the world is so big and beautiful and all i wanna do is understand. but my stupid brain doesnt work right and ive burried my wonder for so #long i wonder if ill ever have it back. i was reading a bunch of lil notes i wrote this semester and i go from #everything is so beautiful i cant stand it. there are angels in the sunbeams and they feel like healing. to im the world around me is #warping beyond my control. i cant feel any joy. my head is sending me terrible ideas but im not even scared. it feels inevitable #but last week i was so full of energy i couldnt sleep. nothing changed but the chemicals in my head #hopefully next semester will b better and i can stop feeling like damaged goods and feel bad fro my advisor #for having to deal with me. hes v nice and has a bip0lar brother so he's sympathetic but i wish he didn't have to b #i want to stop fantasizing about being something else and just focus on being better at what i am #but im such a pathological perfectionist that its so difficult to make any progress. but whatever ive been feeling alright for the #past week or so. hopefully that carries through. and maybe somedsy i can illustrate something for my precious baby cyanobacteria #unrelated

crying at 7am bc your best friends are Science Brains and try to explain the Cool Concept of Dimensionality to you but you are Too Dumb To Understand

#DONT CALL ME SMART!!!!!!! #I AM NOT AND THATS OKAY #IM A DUMB BITCH AND THATS FINE #okay moving on #i'm so confused #literally how does the y axis change based on what you're doing #how is it measuring different things in different contexts #and how the fuck is TIME a dimension!!!!!!!! #HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE #'well bc you can be in the same location at two different times and it's technically a different location' i'm gonna cry what does that MEAN #HUH #mushroom i love you and i love that your interested in so many amazing things #but i'm SO CONFUSED #science side of tumblr do NOT explain #my poor brain #my partner tried explaining it to me too and that made me more confused #what a great way to start the day 😂😂 #literally so lost #science brains yall scare me just a little bit #im only mostly sure that you aren't all just doing witchcraft #insanity #anyways #personal rambles #mushroom and stick against the world #not stargate

me: (writes like 2k words of circular arguments about the philosophical implications of a vampiric master's compulsion regarding the existence of free will, and thus the culpability and moral responsibility we can potentially impose upon spawn affected by such compulsion- very carefully not even touching the issue of how the gods being actually real in this world would affect us even being able to talk about free will at all)

also me: hehe the Anals of Karsus

#squirrel plays bg3 #why am i like this #this is not even a bit i'm just. this person #why are dnd vampires just stuck in my brain now #they've been there for like. a month. or two #just festering in there #(I also finally found a copy of Stanislaw Lem's “Science Fiction and Futurology” so.) #(I might be staring down the barrel of another proverbial rabbithole here) #(it's from 19 fucking 74) #(it will be a ride for sure)

“Don’t overthink it one day at a time kid add up the days you got someone to do life with”

“Don’t overthink it it’s not fuckin science add up the days you got someone to do life with”

“Love isn’t big kid it’s little and quiet”

I think about these particular lines so damn much I’m so glad that song exists

#like sometimes my brain will take little snips of a line #like you’ll catch me falling ass over monkey into the pit of despair and overthinking and awfulness #and then I’ll just hear “don’t overthink it it’s not fuckin science’ just like repeating in the back of my head #and this usually makes me realize that yeah #what the fuck am I over-analyzing this one particular thing or thought #why am I making my own hypothesis about others or myself #it’s NOT fucking science #(unless ofc it overthinking about something relating to science like how i have so many misssing assignments in that class and-) #yeah then it’s not terribly helpful #I get that isn’t what the songs about like at all #but hey man if it stops the stupid ass speeding train that is my brain then who am I to complain

girl why does coding have to make absolutely no fucking sense

#i wish i was still learning python #i see the stupid ass coffee mug of java and start seething with rage #love it when i work out how to do an assignment though its like a little bit of confetti goes off in my brain #but in the meantime? #i want to abolish java #and i cant even say that computers should be smart enough to understand what im wanting them to do by now #because you know how computers become that smart? #FUCKING CODING THEM TO BE #how tf do i tag this now #computer science #java #python #ap cs #(which lowkey i should drop out of) #(not really but sometimes it can be tempting) #comp sci #coding #ap comp sci

On a personal note, I'm so painfully THRILLED that I've been a shark obsessed freak my entire life, and that I made my hazbin self insert a shark demon long before Vox's thing with sharks was revealed. Legit it was just icing on the cake as far as my fondness for the TV demon went.

IDK, just started doodling my sharky self insert again for the first time in years and getting giddy about the wonderful coincidence all over again

#makes my self ship brain go 😏😏😏 #of fucking COURSE the character my braon latches onto was revealed to like LITERALLY THE THING i centered my life passion around #despite being so unrelated??? #i have a degree in marine science and did my thesis on sharks ->get into hazbin and like vox-> make shark self insert -> VARK REVEALED ->?? #i die #vox #hazbin hotel
