@lorddialtones
Look, I’ve recently started reading 5th book of the great saga of Stormlight Archive and figured out that I’m really into it 😳😳😳
Especially these two oh my god
I’ve started making fanarts immediately I realised they’re actually canon, but I have plans to draw more other characters as I imagined them! I’m trying to gentle step into the fandom and I hope I’ll find same-minded people here
rendered the same piece twice cuz I couldn’t decide which lighting I liked more pluh
REMEMBER THAT POST WITH CINDERELLA WHERE HER DRESS CHANGES TO THE COLOR OF YOUR BLOG?
THIS ONE DOES IT TOO!!
I found a bunch more!!
x
This. is. so. COOL
If this doesn’t work I’m going to cry.
it’S back!
Just reblogging to see if the last one is true
Wait- what? 🤣
Edit: OH WAIT NO I DIDN’T THINK IT’D GENUINELY WORK OMG- (tap on the images to see it after reblogging 🤪)
i’m only here for the last one-
WOW COLOURS TUMBLR EXPLORES COLORS
Random Death the Kid headcanons cause I love him the most (ft. Black☆Star and Thompson Sisters)
His style of choice is mostly corpgoth but as Lord Death he mostly chooses the most comfy options outside of work
He’s far more serious and more intimidating than his father was, everyone dreads being called to the death room
He’s really caring about his students, puts in the work to get to know them especially if he sees them struggle socially (cause he struggled too)
Loves humans but becomes more critical of society as he gets older. He legit doesn’t understand some concepts especially given how short a mortal’s lifespan is like “Wdym people will look at me weird if I’ll wear a gown instead of a suit, I’m Death for hell’s sake.”
Travels a lot. He takes his father’s mask everywhere because he likes to imagine he’s finally showing him the world after all these years spent locked up at the academy
Basically forced Liz and Patty to go to college. They wanted to stay with him and work at the academy but he insisted on them having more options just in case
Black☆Star is his right hand man. It’s not official but everyone just knows
Since medication doesn’t work for him, he deals with his OCD and anxiety with coffee and willpower (struggles a lot)
Knows 20 languages including asl
Often experiences derealization. Sometimes it gets so bad he forgets to breathe, blink and act like a human in general
Everyone moved on to smartphones and fancy tech and he’s still stuck using a flip phone and an mp3 player. Black☆Star makes fun of him and calls him an old man
He, Patty and Liz do “girl’s nights” from time to time. They usually pick a random movie, do some self care and talk (and gossip let’s be real)
The hunting Merthur has become my obsession in recent days
This art should be taken with the composition "White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter" by Lana Del Rey
Peace and love
Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com
as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!
goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you
some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!
if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too
good luck out there 👍
How to Pay Hospital Bills When You’re Flat Broke
another one is singlecare.com, brought my duloxetine from $240 a month to $20
and there are coupons for hrt on there as well :) different options for different pharmacies
dollarfor.org saved my broke ass, it can save urs too
Even the medication manufacturer can provide coupons. My monthly injection goes from $1800 to $20, and I pay a $5 copay.
A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body.
Cosmere Characters Holding the Cutest Animal They Can
Pure self-indulgence, friends! I think if we paired Cosmere characters with the cutest animal for them, this is what we'd end up with. Naturally, we are ignoring canon ecology here.
[All links go to wikipedia!]
1. Szeth with a baby bearded dragon
It's actually sitting on his shoulder. They both stare in the same way. Like father, like son.
2. Elhokar with a fluffy chicken
It looks fabulous, he looks fabulous. In my head, the fluffy chicken has its own basket that Elhokar insists on calling its palaquin.
3. Vin with an extremely large Bernese Mountain Dog puppy
When she flies, she carries it against her chest in a large sling. And yes, it definitely does have puppy goggles.
4. Adolin with one of those miniature horses
Yes, Adolin has regular-sized horses and those are great too. But we're going for cuteness, so please imagine Adolin with a miniature horse that is resting its head in his lap, if that's a thing that miniature horses do.
5. Tress with a puffin
It's an adult puffin because I looked at pictures of the baby ones and I think the adults are actually cuter. It's standing on Tress's shoulder, and it's on one leg.
6. Wayne with a jumping spider
(My wife insists that they're cute, okay?) Just think of Wayne teaching the spider a little dance. Or so he claims. It's possible the spider taught him this dance. There are a lot of jumps.
7. Shallan with a baby highland cow
Because those are the fluffiest cows I know. It's up to you whether your brain has made this a tragic two-headed calf on Shallan's lap or, like, a regular one.
8. Lift with hamsters
There's one in each of her hands, so relaxed they are certified Hamster Pancakes, and one on her head.
9. Sazed with an elf owl
All you need to know is that this is the world's smallest owl. Imagine Sazed with the world's smallest owl on his shoulder or possibly (dare i say it?) cupped adorably in his hands.
10. Venli with a baby bunny
Just imagine Venli not only having a baby bunny, but also deciding that she will protect it with her life.
11. Kaladin with a kitten
I am definitely thinking about a still I saw from the Samurai Cat movie, where the samurai is holding a white cat in one arm, cuddled against his chest, and has a sword in his other hand. That's Kaladin with his kitten, in my heart.
12. Yumi with a pet rock
Awww, it's so warm from the sunshine! Truly, a very happy rock.
You're so fucking real for this. elhokar would be a fluffy chicken guy.. he definitely decorated the basket.
Kaladin probably found the most ideal way to carry a kitten without having to physically carry the kitten. Just goes with a cat sized baby wrap and goes about his day.
Polished Malachite Stalactite - Copper Crescent, Congo
*looks around*
Is
Is anyone gonna say it
malachite is a poisonous mineral. please do not fuck the malachite stalactite
@lizaleigh do you know any rock people that can confirm/deny because I am very curious and really don’t feel like getting into a conversation with my geophysicist brother that MAY somehow get back to the fact I saw a malachite that looked like a weird dildo.
…sadly, I am not on good enough terms with any of our partner geologists to just attach this to an email with the subject line: “EXPLAIN.” Although I think @mollisaurus is a mineral person. Thoughts?
oh geeze, i’m kinda rusty on minerals but malachite is just copper carbonate and is really common in both antique and modern jewelry so i think like if you were really gun-ho about it you could go ahead and put it wherever you want?
It’s really only a problem if you’re polishing or cutting it. The particles would be bad to breathe. It’s rather porous too, so I would worry about bacteria growing. Well, being literal anyway… Better to leave the poor thing alone. ._.
I mean it kinda depends on where you stick it because malachite does not like acidic environments very much and the malachite will degrade and also might dye your bits blue-green as the copper dissolves out.
So use a condom when fucking rocks is the takeaway here.
Oh my god guys it’s poisonous
It is super poisonous
There is a reason we do not use it in make up any more
Not even with a condom, do not fuck the rock
Try this one instead.
malachite literally explodes in water does it not?
I… no… I think you’re thinking of pure sodium?
Malachite is however water soluble, which really just means it will poison you quicker
This is both hilarious and cool as fuck because you’re getting all this information on minerals and rocks. You’re also watching people argue over wether or not you can fuck this rock
I go on hiatus for a week and come back to find tumblr molesting my post, but hey, at least we all learned something so yay tumblr, you just keep on being you.
I’m still not sure if I can fuck this rock.
I’m looking into it.
UPDATE:
Today in “I’m so sorry, coworkers, it’s for Tumblr,” I brought this post to the attention the science reporters at BuzzFeed. Dan Vergano did a some research and weighed in on the question “Can you use malachite as a dildo or is it toxic?”
The answer is “It’s probably fine, just wash it first and maybe use a bunch of lube.”
Oh man this got so much better than the last time I saw this post
This is my favourite. Science side of tumblr: asking the REAL questions
*biologist crashes through the underbrush* Ok so here’s the thing though Malachite is not poisonous to YOU. BUT fucking this stalactite will probably wreck your vaginal flora and leave you with a gruesome infection within a couple days. Want details? SO GLAD YOU ASKED, ‘CAUSE HERE THEY ARE. • Malachite is not copper oxide. It’s Cu2CO3(OH)2. Like most carbonates it’s water soluble– that’s how it became a stalactite in the first place! And technically any given chunk of “malachite” isn’t just malachite– it’s a mix of various copper carbonates & oxides. This will become important later. • When malachite dissolves it makes a bunch of copper (Cu++) ions. Cu++ is GREAT at killing bacteria and fungi– so good at it that sprays with Cu++ get used a lot as a spray in agriculture to stop plant disease. It takes such a large dose to harm larger organisms that copper sprays are used a lot in organic agriculture (like Bordeaux mixture). So bottom line, yes malachite is technically nontoxic to humans. But it kills bacteria when it dissolves and releases Cu++. • Malachite dissolves somewhat slowly in water– but vaginal secretions aren’t just any water. A healthy human vagina has a pH of 3.8-4.5 and a salinity of about 0.9%. It’s also warmer than your average underground cave at 37°C (or 98.5°F in American meat units). As luck would have it, acidity, salinity, and warmth all make malachite dissolve faster. • In other words, the human vagina dissolves malachite. • I have no deeper explanation for why human females can dissolve rocks with our genitals. It simply is. • Gonna to take a quick moment to point out that sex toys that dissolve when you use them are maybe not the best investment. • Anyway the key question now is “how fast does the human vagina dissolve malachite?” Are we talking geological timescale, a Nazis-in-Indiana-Jones situation, or something in between? If the reaction kinetics of dissolution are very slow, then there’s nothing to worry about. An encounter with a stalactite would have to last years for enough Cu++ to leach out to cause problems. If it’s quick then we’re in trouble. • Unfortunately it looks like nobody really knows. One of the best sources on how malachite dissolves & precipitates in water– an EPA document on how to avoid too much Cu++ in municipal drinking water systems– helpfully says “The kinetic constraints on the formation of these solids in water systems are largely unexplored” (p. 42) because end equilibrium points are all you need to run a city water system safely. In other words, the experiments that would tell us how fast malachite dissolves in various types of water just don’t exist because nobody’s ever needed to know before. So we’d better assume it’s going to happen reasonably quickly, #for safety. • So in best scientific fashion, we’re just going to bullshit our way ahead using what facts we DO have on hand: endpoint equlibria. • Is there any info out there telling us what equilibrium concentration of Cu++ we get in salty acidic water at body temperature? Almost! One J.F. Scaife published some great data on this back in 1957. TAKE IT AWAY, SCAIFE.
That orange box is how many moles of dissolved Cu++ Scaife got from sticking malachite in some water that had 0.171 moles NaCl/L (body salinity is about 0.154 moles NaCl/L so this is slightly more salty than people) at 30°C. He’s got no acidity in there, and again the salinity and temperature are slightly off from the vaginal standard. But this is probably the closest we’re going to get to data on how malachite behaves in vaginas anytime soon, folks. From this we can take away that if you leave malachite alone in a vagina you’ll get AT LEAST 9.12 x 10^-4 moles/L, or 5.8 ppm, of Cu++ at equilibrium. • Recall from above that most “malachite” isn’t actually pure malachite, it’s a mix of various copper carbonates & oxides. The EPA document elaborates: “[T]raditional ‘eyeball’ identification of malachite by its blue-green color is extremely unreliable, because almost all cupric hydroxysulfates, hydroxycarbonates, hydroxychlorides, and even fresh cupric hydroxide can be some shade of blue-green. … Thus, the uncertainty in the computed copper concentration in equilibrium with malachite is at least about a factor of 2 … until further experimental data focusing on this problem is generated.” In other words, “do your math and then double how much Cu++ you think is going to be in the water, just in case.” So that gives us 11.6ppm Cu++, at equilibrium, with malachite in a (til now!) healthy vagina. • Next step: do we have any idea what happens to bacteria in acid conditions with copper? OH MY GOD WE TOTALLY DO. Gyawali et al 2011 checked this out in the context of “so what if we rinsed tomatoes with a solution of lactic acid and copper, because that would be a safe & organic way to get rid of E. coli?” So now this post has officially ruined stalactites, vaginas, and tomatoes.
^This would happen. These are the counts of 4 E. coli strains exposed to various levels of lactic acid & Cu++ for 8 hours. This table only shows the end counts but it represents the death of 99.7% of bacteria*. • Losing 99.7% of your vaginal flora is seriously bad news. You’re looking at really good odds of a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, and/or other infection issues. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to not be in the 4% of the population or so that’s sensitive to skin contact with copper. • The good news? Biochemically speaking, you’re probably ok to put it in your butt. It’s not as acidic or salty in there, plus there’s a huuuuuge stockpile of gut microbes right upstream that can quickly repopulate the colon after spelunking is complete. However this stalactite is not flared at the base so it is the wrong shape for putting in your butt. Do not put this stalactite in your butt. • This all looks like fun and games, but I think it’s really interesting that the internet’s mistake in concluding that this stalactite is fuckable is very similar to the mistake made by the Flint water management system. Hear me out. • Central to the Flint lead poisoning crisis is that authorities only looked at & tested Flint’s water in its central treatment plant before it went out through the pipes. Not after it went through the pipes. They did not consider what would happen biochemically as it went through the pipes and metals started dissolving. • Similarly, in concluding that the stalactite is fuckable, the internet only considered the stalactite itself. Not the biochemical processes that would happen to it as it, welp, went through the pipes. • Media frequently reports that the Flint River’s water is “corrosive,” leading many to believe the river is full of industrial waste. This ain’t the case. You’d need industry to fill a river with industrial waste, and industry left decades ago. That’s why Flint’s so poor. So what IS in the water? Road salt. Plain old stupid road salt. The old Detroit-based source didn’t have salt because it came from Lake Huron which has a large, mostly rural watershed. Meanwhile the Flint River runs through a lot of towns, making it slightly salty as everything melts down in spring. And as we recall from the stalactite experience, a little salt is all it takes to get metals to dissolve. • Information on this engineering problem was not coming through clearly from the engineering or chemistry sides. It took a biologist, pediatrician Mona Hanna-Attisha, to document the real-time results and provide the data to kick-start a high-level investigation. • Morals of the story: when dealing with a biological system pls consider asking a biologist, your vagina and/or city could depend on this • Pls use a condom when fucking any water-soluble material • Still don’t put the stalactite in your butt -3/10 do not recommend

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
Did the trace a 3d model thingy from @fuululuu had fun!
