What are YOUR personal headcanons for Winterguardian?
Oh i have so many, but im DYING to talk about alexei as a yearner.
- Alexei is a very affectionate guy, but he’s also pretty clueless when it comes to being flirted with
- he’s good at the flirting part, but Bucky has this weird blank-slate way of flirting people that just flies right over his head
- This means he’s constantly missing cues while constantly throwing out really obvious ones of his own
- alexei is very physically affectionate, even if it’s just a hand on bucky’s shoulder, he constantly touches the people he loves
Wordplay Wednesday: Oxidation and Reduction
As a geologist, I use the words oxidation and reduction a lot. For example:
These rocks have gone through oxidation.
Or this rock contains reduction spots.
But what do I mean when I say these things? Primarily, this has to do with iron and its properties (but other elements can be oxidized or reduced too). Iron is super reactive with oxygen, like best friends who go everywhere together. However, what iron isn't aware of is that oxygen isn't a good friend.
Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. It is the gaining of electrons. So, if one element is being oxidized, another is being reduced.
Making sense so far? Here is what the reaction for rust (which is what happened to those red rocks above) looks like:
Copper also oxidizes. A great example is the Statue of Liberty.
So the next time you pass by red cliffs you can sound super smart to your friends and family by telling them that those cliffs have been oxidized.
Tune in tomorrow for a look at the father of mineralogy. Fossilize you later!
Redox mnemonics 🪐 Which do you prefer?
LEO the lion says GER
OIL RIG
other (elaborate!)
-Mod Golden.
Which is the better ship?
Redox (Shadow Fox x Fox)
Fredeak (Fred x Eak)
Propaganda for Redox:
Sometimes the way to resolve your trauma is to make out with the physical embodiment of said trauma when he traps you in your shared mind prison. Exposure therapy and all that, you know?
Propaganda for Fredeak:
Picture this: Eak has been tasked by Owynn to find shadows, for presumably nefarious purposes. There's a lot that's on the line if he fails- and yet, somehow, he falls in love with the shadow that he's meant to capture. Now he's stuck in a trolley problem, forced to choose between saving his new love and his two long time friends... The choice is, sadly, obvious. Doomed romance FTW.
After whatever happened today I'm gonna treat myself to DoB +HOPEFULLY some of RTTE tomorrow since I had to cancel an appointment <:) for now...take these!!! And goodnight!!!
In fact there are remarkable similarities in the way electron flow is coupled to proton translocation in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and purple bacteria (Figure 7.31).
