blood and rhetoric. @gemiinae-blog - Tumblr Blog

ok so i feel kinda bad about this, but i’m going to be putting this blog on hiatus. i haven’t had much muse at all for pol lately and i’m into other things that aren’t ffxv rn (and kicking around the idea of making another blog) so i don’t know when i’ll come back here?? maybe it’ll be soon, maybe it won’t. i guess we’ll see.

#;ooc #not that i've been doing much here anyways orz #if/when i come back i'll likely keep my threads. if that helps any.

pol is a goblin cat

absolutely

praesiidio:

get a car specifically to ram ardyns car

ok

#praesiidio #brb time to waste some gil

praesiidio replied to your post: do you have a car??? can you drive??

ram ardyns car

i need a car for that???

#praesiidio #or do u want me to just. elbow it.

do you have a car??? can you drive??

“I don’t really see why it’s relevant, but no, I don’t own a car. Of course I can drive, though there’s not much opportunity to use that skill when you live in the city.”

#;inbox #praesiidio #also lbr he's prob stuck in the base most of the time #so having a car would basically be pointless

ruffles his hair

FROWNS.

GASPS!! "That's not true! As much as I enjoy your hands, I do like you a lot too. Such a good friend. I'm sure I have told you this many times." gently paps his hand

“Yes, you have told me. Many times.” Or was that just drunk Elena talking? Who knows.

@ square enix make an ffxv dlc where we can key ardyns car

#please

how you doing old man

“You saying that just made me age ten years...”

#;inbox #praesiidio #he's only 30 leave him alone!!!

"Are they cold? Should I get you some nice gloves? Or should I just hold them?"

“I have the sneaking suspicion that you like my hands more than you like me.”

#;inbox #lysandi #hand fetish confirmed....

"Your hands are nice."

“I never really thought about it, but I suppose they are.”

On Prompto’s Bar Codes

gemiinae-blog

yourscientistfriend:

Disclaimer: I am a scientist. (Neurochem)I know this doesn’t work in real life applications, but I thought it was interesting to see anyways.

So I threw this numbers into GenBank – NIH genetic sequence database just for fun because I was drunk one day. They are associated with some pretty interesting DNA sequences.

The bottom number there is part of a retrovirus. An ENV protein specifically. It would trigger a conformational change, allowing for binding of the fusion protein. So what does that mean fro Prompto? Well, retroviral vectors are the most widely used delivery vehicles to integration genes into chromosomes of affected cells. So he’s a “knock in” animal for sequences that would allow him to change. For fantasy purposes, we could say he’s He’s been genetically programed to mutate.

This 01987 – that’s a fun one. It’s swine IL-alpha. I work with ILs on a daily basis and they are used as markers for “something gone wrong.” For instance, if I take a tissue from a stressed animal vs a nonstressed animal, the stressed animal will have produced more IL-alpha. It is the marker various immune responses and and hematopoiesis (The production of all types of blood cells). This cytokine is released in response to cell injury, and thus induces apoptosis. (cell death) That is to say, he’s durable. He can regenerate blood cells, including his immune system white blood cells, to ward of disease and infection. Then he has the ability to kill off and clear out the “bad cells” faster too. It’s even been implicated in protection from gamma radiation (meteor anyone?) But this is not without consequence. Its a marker for inflammation, neuro-degenerative diseases, and diabetes. So, he’s sturdy, but he’s also set up for a lot of problems later. Implication? He’s not made to live long. He’s made of pig and virus parts because he’s disposable.

And the best bit? NH. He’s non human. He’s a non human primate. Therefore he wouldn’t be afforded personhood.

Edit: Feel like I should say too that he’s properly coded. As in you put non-human primate codes on their outer wrist so it’s scannable when they grip the bars. He should have had a chip implanted at that age which should be in his right bicep. Maybe it rejected and he covered it with that bandana?
