Reading fourth wing has made me realise I define slow-burn very different to other people, because that book was not slowburn.
When I say slow-burn enemies-to-lovers I need detesting, hating each other - the sight of the other person makes you physically sick or trembling with rage, or some ungodly combination of both. I don’t want admiration from afar, I want plotting to murder the other in their sleep.
I need a slow-burn that lasts 3/4 of a book, if not an entire book - have me foaming at the mouth waiting for them to make a move, to brush hands at each other. I need pining in unspoken gestures loaded with meaning. I need flexed fingers when you touch and forcing yourself to pull away from the other. I don’t need smut by the end of a book and a sudden L-bomb, by any definition that is NOT slowburn

It's not just that Meghan has a talent for identifying the contacts that will be useful for her. Because she also has this weird talent for destroying them. She can get people to bend so far to her needs that once she decides to drop them, it's them that end up looking bad.
The RF as an entire institution couldn't contain her, Jess was discarded as a racist, Violet has been discarded as merely some 'meet n greet' hostess, etc etc. She's really good at bringing people down to her level!
That is an excellent point. I don’t know how she does it.

Rune Factory English Voice Actors/Actresses:
I’m a huge fan of Rune Factory. It seems sort of niche bc when I ask other gamers (I’m a casual gamer, don’t ask me to be on any teams 😂) about it they don’t really know what it is. One of the things I love about is is how they get these huge voice actors for the games, which seem so small (but I know it isn’t, it’s sold hundreds of thousands of copies)
WARNING: ONLY ENGLISH VOICES ARE COUNTED HERE. I’M DOING THIS FOR MYSELF AND WHAT I KNOW. I MAY DO A JAPANESE VERSION.

Reaching for Stardust - Part III

Domestic bliss with Josh is all I want <3
---
I had enough of a hangover the next day to almost cancel on my sister. Painting walls seemed like a really awful way to nurse my brain and body, but Josh was actually so insistent we still help out that I bucked up with some extra coffee and a Gatorade from the gas station and we were off, on the road again with Josh behind the wheel again. A couple stubborn pieces of glitter were stuck to his cheekbone and catching the sunlight as we drove, then my memory of the previous night was jogged even more at the sight of the violet-colored hickey on his neck.
“Shit,” I said upon noticing it, reaching over to touch as if I could make it disappear. “Sorry.”
Josh swatted my hand away. “Don’t be sorry, darling. You know how much I love it when you do that.”
I took his hand and held it as long as I could, until he needed both to make a sharp turn. “I love that you let me do it.”
“I love you.”
I smiled, leaning back against the seat and turning my head to look at him again. “I love you, too,” I said, and truer words really had never been spoken. 
Kirsti had already started by the time we got to her house, dressed in paint-smeared jeans and an old Detroit Tigers t-shirt and barefoot, holding a paint roller in her hand when she opened the door. “I won’t hug you,” she said, stepping back to let us in. “For obvious reasons. But I’m really glad you’re here. I could do it all myself but, wow, it’s taking a lot of time in between layers, y’know? At least now we can get more base coats done together.”
I was still a little groggy, unprepared for her bustling energy, but my eyes came to full alertness as I stepped completely inside the mudroom and could peer into the adjoining dining room and the living room on either side. “Wow,” I remarked, taken aback by how much progress she’d made making this place look like a real home. Like her home. I drifted into the living room, the chat between her and Josh disappearing into the background as I approached the big, black leather chair that had once been in our grandfather’s study. I knew she had it. I hadn’t been able to take it myself–there wasn’t enough room in mine and Josh’s apartment. But seeing it there still shook something inside me up and I couldn’t help but make a remark on it that came out with more envy than I’d intended. 
Kirsti was behind me then, and she ran the thankfully dry paint roller over my back. “Hey. You know a bunch of their other stuff is in storage, right? I won’t fight you for any of it. Except that painting grandma has. You know the one, with the birch trees.”
“Fine,” I resigned, cheeks hot. “I just wish we had the space for it all now.”
“You will.”
Josh appeared at my side then, holding a can of paint. “Are we doing one room each?”
“I gotta finish the kitchen today,” Kirsti said. “I spared you guys that. I’d really like to get the two bedrooms done, too.”
“Fancy living,” Josh said, stepping around, peeking at everything, and I found myself questioning again why he didn’t want to buy a house as badly as I did.
Regardless, Josh and I went upstairs to paint the bedrooms. Kirsti wanted the east-facing one painted a lavender so soft it was almost white and the other one that had windows to the west a subdued ochre. Josh took that one after he set up the spare portable speaker Kirsti had loaned us in the hallway, situated right in the middle, and I started on the east side. The bedrooms weren’t that much bigger than our own at home in our apartment, but big enough to notice. Beyond that, it was just the freedom of space and space to OWN that got me. But while I’d been browsing houses, Josh had apparently been browsing wedding rings and whatever else, which seemed like the most ridiculous contradiction ever. 
Through each rolling motion, looking over the smooth tracks of pale lavender, I kept imagining what my–our–dream house would look like. I’d seen many and none had ever stuck out as being the dream home, one that I couldn’t live without. But then again, how could any of them if Josh wasn’t completely on board with finding one? I could picture us in a shady bungalow surrounded by tons of greenery and flowers, tucked back on some cul-de-sac loop; I could also see more of a fixer-upper situation, like a rustic cabin on a couple of wooded acres that we could tend and build together; even something simpler, like a quaint ranch in the suburbs. I could see us anywhere, really, because whatever we got would be our own and we could make it exactly as we wanted. 
“I really don’t think this needs more than one layer,” Josh called out over the music, so I set my roller down into the tray and crossed through the hall to his side. Just like in the bedroom I was working on–Kirsti’s bedroom–the furniture was pushed to the center of the room and Josh was stepping back against the dresser, inspecting the walls.
“I don’t think so either,” I agreed. The warm ochre color was opaque already and catching the light coming through the open windows, the sun and breeze rolling through the screens. “She’ll check it out though, I’m sure.” I leaned back against the dresser too, next to Josh, and sighed. 
“Tired of painting already?” he asked, jostling my shoulder with his hand.
“Just thinking about how after this, we’re gonna go back to our boring white walls.”
“Oh, come on. Not for long,” Josh said, slinging his arm around me. “Let’s set a date.”
“For what? A house or marriage?”
“Both. Preferably marriage first.” 
“We’re not even engaged.”
Josh whirled around, positioning himself in front of me. “Want me to propose right now?”
I laughed, pushing him away. “No! That’d be so lame,” I said, and he grabbed my wrists and brought himself in close again, pressing his lips to mine for a brief moment. In the darkness behind my closed eyes, I saw the starry skies we’d both gazed upon together night after night. 
“Don’t worry, love,” Josh said, dark eyes like the umber earth beneath those skies. “I know exactly where I’m going to do it. It’s just a matter of time.” 
I looped my arms around his neck. “I’m sure. But I’m sure I’ll still be surprised.” I reached up to touch his hair, the long curls that still remained past the shaved sides. “So since you picked out the ring, can I pick out the house?” 
“Absolutely,” Josh told me, but something in his face changed just slightly, almost imperceptible, and I couldn’t read him clearly anymore. “We just have to figure out where that’ll be.”
“Here, obviously,” I said, punctuated with a helpless, nervous chuckle. “Where else?” 
Josh kissed my forehead then turned back to the walls, grabbing the paint roller. “Well, the world is our oyster, you know. We should keep our options open.”
I was tempted to pry into that thought. I opened my mouth again to do just that, but Kirsti’s footsteps ascended on the stairs and she popped in, hands on her hips as she looked over Josh’s work. 
“Looks good,” she said. “Yeah, I think this room only needs one layer. What about the other one?”
I felt cheated, even somewhat slighted, by Josh’s lack of transparency. But the moment was gone and that told me this wasn’t the time or place, so my sister and I drifted into her little world of pale lavender and faded sunlight instead.
For days I let it go. Work was always a distraction to a certain extent but more and more I found myself getting not lost in the research of other places because it was all a fantasy, but because it was a worry. Did Josh really want to maybe move somewhere else entirely? The only place that seemed reasonable to me was Detroit but, really, even with the boys being there, I didn’t think I truly wanted to live there. And anyway, if that was a place Josh was thinking of, I knew he’d come right out and say it. 
In an effort not to fixate on it any longer, I poured myself into birthday plans for Josh and Jake, at least until I learned that Jake, Sam and Danny would be out of town, playing another show, that whole weekend. That defeated me and I sat, deflated at my desk in front of my open laptop, all the potential plans seemingly moot now. It was the first birthday since I’d joined the clan that we’d all be apart. 
“Nothing wrong with just the two of us,” Josh said, coming up behind me. It was the next Friday and his day of teaching had ended at a reasonable hour, leaving both of us with a wide open evening and night, but I didn’t feel like doing our usual. Nothing seemed appetizing and I couldn’t wrap my head around a movie. 
I was stuck on too many things and yet nothing all at once. It really didn't matter that we’d all be apart for Josh and Jake’s birthday, but it felt like it mattered. It bothered me that Josh seemed to be unfazed, actually–why should I be the only one bummed about it? I shut my laptop and swiveled around in my chair, looking up at him: “I know. But it’s not gonna be the same.”
“The only thing I’m not looking forward to is Jake not being there for dinner with our parents,” Josh told me, taking a seat in the green faux-suede chair I’d sourced from Facebook marketplace across from me. It wasn’t nearly as well-built or as cool as my grandfather’s old chair. “I think they’re struggling with him being away from home so often more than we are. Sam too, of course.” With a little laugh, he added, “They might even miss Sam more than Jake.” 
“He’s easy to miss when you get so used to chaos.” 
Josh sighed, tilting his head back. “Maybe we should just become their roadies. I mean, what the hell–why not? We could be nomads.”
Even though it was silly, not totally serious talk, I could still see it. “Maybe. But then that would mean you got that master’s degree for nothing.” 
“Not necessarily. I could shoot their music videos.”
“That would be something,” I mused, looking over Josh’s toned down attire he wore to teach his classes. His longer academic journey hadn’t been easy–in fact, I’d never seen him so stressed out and there were times when I thought it might have been better for him just to drop it. I’d never imagined him working so behind the scenes, teaching people in such an ordinary way–working with film, yes, following his dream, of course. But he loved it, apparently. Loved the constant interaction with eager students, loved working with and learning newer and better equipment, loved seeing other people’s work and still having the time to do his own. His eccentricities followed him wherever he went. That was for sure. 
Josh was quiet when he turned his head, looking out the window at another blessed sky we had–cloudless, it was nothing but clear blue beyond the trees. Without turning back to look at me, he said, “Actually, I kind of anticipated this.”
“Anticipated what?”
“Jake–all of them–being gone. So I have a surprise,” Josh told me, looking at me again but without the glee and unraveling joy most people had to struggle to contain when they were revealing a surprise. “I got us plane tickets.”
I felt my brows furrow, face tightening. “Plane tickets to where?” 
“Savannah. Georgia,” Josh said, face brightening, cheeks turning pink. “I thought it’d be fun–a new place, new sights, new everything. I really could use a change of scenery and I know you could, too.” 
“Oh,” was all I managed to say at first, looking past Josh, taken aback by this abrupt reveal and how much planning must have gone into it and how none of it had involved me. When I realized that, I looked right at him, my words coming out in a way that sounded more suspicious than I wanted to let on: “I thought surprises were FOR whoever was having the birthday.”
“Traditionally, maybe. Have I ever been a man of tradition?”
“Not especially.”
“Exactly, darling.” Josh got up and approached me then, sitting down on the floor in front of me, his hands on my knees. “You’ve got all that PTO to use. I figured getting two days off, since it’ll be a Friday through Monday trip, wouldn’t be hard. I already got the Airbnb. Everything’s all set. Everything to make it the best birthday trip ever.”
“If you’d told me where you wanted to go, I could’ve planned it,” I said, not angry, not upset, just a little bewildered still. “I feel bad you had to do everything.” 
Josh waved that statement away. “Don’t feel bad. You’ve been frustrated with work lately and I know you’ve just been wishing to get away. So why don’t we? A little spontaneity never hurt anyone.”
“That’s so not true,” I replied, though I felt a smile making its way over my lips. Secretive or not, the more this idea sank into my mind, the more I was on board with it. Instead of wistfully pouring over pictures and articles on different places, Josh and I could really BE in one again. “But point taken. I’ll email my supervisor right now.” When I swiveled back around, I felt Josh standing behind me, his chin resting on top of my head and then his arms wrapped around me.
“Spectacular,” he commented, his soft graveled voice drifting into my ears. “The only thing that’s not spectacular about this is how early our flight leaves.”
I paused my typing. “How early?”
“5:40. Morning time.” 
I groaned. “Oh, god. Who’s gonna drive us?”
“My dad already volunteered.”
“Oh, so you told your parents about this trip first?” I shook my head, chuckling. “So rude, Josh.”
“Hey!” Josh chirped, bringing his face down to my shoulder, speaking against my neck. “I needed to secure a ride. And now we have one. Victory, darling.”
I giggled when his curls tickled my skin. “Victory indeed.” 
Whatever trepidation and suspicion I had initially felt was mostly gone after that conversation. I actually felt some admiration for Josh’s own determination–he knew where he wanted to go and that I’d want to go there too, seeing as how I’d pretty much go anywhere at this point, and took care of all the logistics to get it done to spare me some stress. I figured, as he did too, it would help to be somewhere else for his birthday anyway. It’d get our minds off being away from the boys again. Or rather, the boys being away from us. The only thing I couldn’t quite figure out completely was the place itself. As happy as I was to go to Savannah for the first time, it seemed so random. Josh had never really expressed much interest in going down south apart from maybe Nashville. So why wouldn’t we go there? Savannah, as far as I could tell from the internet, wasn’t even much of a sizable city. It was historic and beautiful looking, but didn’t appear to have the pizazz and glamor Josh often sought out. Nor was it wilderness, it wasn’t one of the state and national parks we both had on our lists. It felt obscure even with all of its appeal.
I woke up abruptly in the middle of the night, the twilight dark and gleaming outside. Josh was opposed to blackout curtains, always wanting the stars and moon to be able to shine light into our bedroom–the slight silver sheen from beyond the wispy blue curtains, the white blinds that came with the apartment and the windows laid slick over his skin when I looked at him. He was still sound asleep, face smushed into his pillow, lips parted. I could even see a spot of drool on the pillowcase. For such a vibrant extrovert in waking life, Josh was an exceptionally quiet and still sleeper–he didn’t snore, didn’t talk in his sleep, didn’t even really move much. 
I was able to easily slip out of bed and find my way in the dark hallway, through the small spaces beyond and out onto the balcony. A chill rippled through me from the brisk air and I stood there, hands on the banister, looking up at the waning moon. A layer of clouds masked the stars momentarily then passed, bringing them to light, and I felt anxiety pass through my chest in turn, which felt like a betrayal. Normally the night sky soothed any woes I had. The rapid turn of my heartbeat and tightness in my chest propelled me into full alertness. Too much alertness–I knew I wouldn’t be getting back to sleep anytime soon, but I didn’t want to stay awake in that state. I didn’t want to pontificate over that secrecy again or WHY Josh had chosen Savannah of all places. I didn’t want to think any longer about his aversion to creating a real home together. I didn’t want to bother myself with his endless desire to bring our names together before anything else. 
Unfortunately, no answer came from the moon or the stars. I let the thoughts roll through my brain one after the other and tried not to cling to any of them, instead staying focused on the night sky, inhaling cool air, finally bringing myself to sit down and bask in it more so than struggle through it.

In the Royal AU how do they celebrate Christmas ?
I'd just like to give a quick thank you to @sophiebernadotte who very kindly provided me with an overview as to how various European families celebrate Christmas.
Bridgerton house, in keeping with the modern era, release a video everyday during the season of Advent on the official royal Youtube channel covering a different charity they each patronize. Individually or in pairs or more they visit respective charity organisations to spotlight the good that they do and also gift the workers with gifts for the aid and contributions they provide others with. 
On Christmas Eve the official channel will release a cute Christmas card video featuring Violet with her grandchildren, doing activities like baking cookies, decorating a Christmas tree, or explaining the nativity scene to them. 
On Boxing Day there is an annual documentary A Year With the Royal Family (a la the Norwegian and Swedish royal families) which follows everything the family have worked on during the year, primarily charity-focused and projects they've helped with with some behind the scenes insights of how dedicated they are to various causes. They also feature major events within the family such as engagements, weddings, and births, though these are kept fairly brief as to not overshadow everything else that is featured in the documentary. (It was also during this documentary one year that the cameras followed Prince Benedict as he became a more vested patron in the mental health charity that he visited more and more throughout the year. He vocalised just how vital and important charities like that were in providing therapy to those who needed it and how devoted he was to the cause, with a clips showing him working with the charity board and talking with various volunteers, as well as sitting in on sessions to gain a better understanding on the different types of therapy that were on offer - with one particular clip featuring Sophie during one of her sessions being replayed on news stations the following year after it came out that she was in a relationship with the prince.)
In the run up to festive season the family host several events from the receiving of Christmas trees at Aubrey Palace (a la the Swedish RF) with a different family member leading the occasion, as well as a Christmas concert they all help organise, meanwhile Anthony will record a speech to be televised on Christmas Day itself.
While they keep busy with various events, their actual Christmas is kept private. Typically the whole family celebrate together at Aubrey Palace though throughout the years Simon and Daphne or Lucy and Gregory will host the Bridgerton clan.

send a fandom and i’ll tell you... || [ open ]
@orderbourne​ and @psychcdelica​ sent: Rune Factory
Tumblr media
The first character I first fell in love with: That would probably be Rosetta back when I first dipped my toes playing the first RF back in high school. Cute tsundere. Nice portraits. And then quickly Felicity as well. I still hold the same affection for both characters. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Raguna. Clearly. Look at this blog and his last one lmfao. But aside from him I did NOT expect to love Karina as much as I did. My eyes had been on Daria when I started RF3 but shortly into her character quest it was like BOOM. Dokis. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Raven from RF3. Like she’s fine. But people go nuts over the kuudere. She is undoubtedly one of the most popular bachelorettes in the whole series. And I’m just like okay. The character I love that everyone else hates: Bianca from RF1/F. Not very popular but I think she’s cute and the times she does warm up to you feel all the better. I’m also weak to ojous so that has something to do with it. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Hm. Violet from Tides. I got smitten with her in college because of the shy uwu thing but going back I’d probably pair up with Electra or Odette. The character I would totally smooch: You know Rosetta would have the best reaction. Shame RF1/F didn’t have special scenes with the girls romantically like later games. >:( The character I’d want to be like: ANYONE but Aden from Tides. FUCK that guy. Most unlikeable protag in the series by far. The character I’d slap: ADEN. WITH MY FOOT. A pairing that I love: You can tell me that Raguna is canon with any of the girls from his games and I’d be like “aight” but the best will always be Raguna and Felicity. A pairing that I despise: Aden stays forever alone. Outside of that I don’t think there’s any bachelor/ettes I disagree with? I even like Lest with Amber. So.

Chromatography for Plant Pigments
How chromatography is used to study plant pigments?
Tumblr media
Words ‘Plant pigments’ and ‘chromatography’ reminds us of the beginning of chromatographic science. A Russian Botanist ‘Mikhail Tsvet’ invented chromatography in 19th century during his research on separation of plant pigments. Tsvet had managed to separate a mixture of plant pigments, including chlorophyll, on a column packed with finely ground calcium carbonate, using petroleum ether as the mobile phase.
Natural pigments such as chlorophylls, chlorophyll derivatives, xanthophylls, carotenoids, anthocyanins, betacyanin’s are abundant in plants or plant derived products. Plant parts such as coloured flowers and fruits are because of carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins or betalains. There are two main groups of betalains, the red-violet betacyanins and the yellow betaxanthins. Anthocyanins can be extracted by using solvent like methanol and often acid is added while doing extraction as most of the anthocyanins are pH sensitive.
Normal phase or reversed phase plates are used for separation of plant pigments depending on the nature of pigments intended to be separated. The flavonoid pigments are one of the numerous and most widespread groups of natural products. The flavonoid class anthocyanins is the source of orange to blue colors in petals, fruits, leaves and roots. Other flavonoid contributes to yellow flower color either by cooccurring with carotenoid or by replacing them in about 15% of all plant species.
Until now various anthocyanin standards have been identified in different plant species e.g. pelargonidin, cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, petunidin and malvidin etc. Different solvent systems are used depending on type of stationary phase to be used. For normal phase plates solvent system like n butanol: acetic acid: water 40:10:20 v/v/v, ethyl acetate: isopropanol: water 65:25:10 v/v/v, Ethyl acetate: toluene: water: formic acid 10:3:0.8:1.1 v/v/v/v. For reverse phase solvent systems like methanol: water: formic acid 40:60:2 v/v/v can be used.
Let’s take one example to understand how HPTLC can be used for separation of plant pigments (In this case flavonoids) for the separation and to see differentiation between yellow and red Butea flowers:

Comparative HPTLC fingerprint of Butea monosperma (Yellow and Red flowers):

HPTLC method was developed for differentiation between Butea monosperma yellow flowers and Butea monosperma red flowers.
After development plate was derivatized with Natural product and anisaldehyde sulphuric acid reagent and image was taken at 366nm. Yellow fluorescent bands were observed at Rf 0.23, 0.34 in Red butea flowers which differentiates red from yellow butea flowers.
Whereas, aqua green fluorescent bands were observed at Rf 0.17, 0.23, 0.34 and 0.43 in yellow butea flowers only. These bands can be used for differentiation of yellow and red Butea flower samples.

we have plenty of legitimate reasons to hate t*rfs here, but the real beef I have with them is stealing the genderqueer flag colors. the olive green and lavender matches my aesthetics way better than the violet and yellow of the nonbinary flag or the just green b&w agender flag 😔💀
