All the kids in my chem lab made fun of me today for saying "behind, hot" before walking behind them while precariously carrying a metal crucible full of boiling caustic chemicals that I had just freshly pulled off a fire not ten seconds before, and yet I cannot help but notice that none of us had to go to the hospital due to one of them suddenly moving without knowing I was there and bumping into me and making me spill fuckin 500°C caustic chemicals all over the both of us in some sick and tragic act of accidental-manslaughter-suicide.

chemist moments: roommate asks if I know any decorative fire spells to put in the empty planter in the living room. I say I actually know an everlasting flame spell, it's called thermite. roommate says never mind

💥?

ability: radioactive

what it is: going solely based on your url alone because i think it’s very neat and i can work very well with it for this specific ask. anyways! your veins aren’t filled with normal blood, it’s instead filled with acidic chemicals. you can melt things, poison someone without them even realizing before it’s too late, turning an environment around you that might’ve once been safe and clean to a wasteland at the snap of your fingers. due to your skin not reallt vibing with the power, after using it too much well congrats, you now get an upgrade to a mechanical body that’s ten times as effective and deadly as your last one :D ! also your eyes glow i don’t make the rules

weaknesses: if you mix the wrong things and come into contact with materials that have drastic effects, you can quite literally self combust. just gotta be quick on your feet and good with the sciences. also regular old gestures you could’ve done as a human such as hugging, holding hands, or even being near someone and feeling physical touch is now impossible, life does get pretty lonely

some colorful (and helpful) chemistry notes 🎒

[evmorfias]

. . . in general, respiration is nothing but a slow combustion of carbon and hydrogen, which is entirely similar to that which occurs in a lighted lamp or candle, and that, from this point of view, animals that respire are true combustible bodies that burn and consume themselves. . . . One may say that this analogy between combustion and respiration has not escaped the notice of the poets, or rather the philosophers of antiquity, and which they had expounded and interpreted. This fire stolen from heaven, this torch of Prometheus, does not only represent an ingenious and poetic idea, it is a faithful picture of the operations of nature, at least for animals that breathe; one may therefore say, with the ancients, that the torch of life lights itself at the moment the infant breathes for the first time, and it does not extinguish itself except at death.

A. L. Lavoisier (1743–1794)

Teacher gave us a couple pre-measured lab room readings for our experiment to reduce random error and I just sat down to type out my lab and saw that she wrote that the lab's atmospheric pressure was 29.9mmHg........0.04 atmospheres.........................
