For @owl---feathers, 🧛‍♀️🍷⚰️ and “Clark wakes up alive”.

There’s a Freya Marske Yuri on Ice fic with aerial acrobatics??? 👀

Bonj-aloha! I think I’ve tracked down the right person, but did you make the motorcity lyricvid set to We Almost Lost Detroit? I joined this fandom ten years late with a sideblog and wild enthusiasm, and I was trying to find if maybe you posted the video to tumblr too, but, well, tumblr’s search function being what it is, I couldn’t be sure that I hadn’t missed it somehow!

Essek Thelyss is an arrogant, cold, brilliant wizard trying to play political games with a group of people who mostly respond to his intimidation schtick with teasing. Essek Thelyss is a wet cat and a poor little meow meow and utterly out of his element. Essek Thelyss is horrified to find that he actually wants these people to like him. (Essek Thelyss is *redacted for spoilers*) Critical Role is too long to recommend to someone unless they’re prepared for hundreds of hours of dungeons and dragons, but!!! The campaign with Essek is going to be animated at some point!!! So maybe the barrier to entry will be lower maybe in two years or so ^^;

Current physics grad student here warning you that if you choose this path please please please have a particular research group in mind with a professor who you know and like (or who has grad students whose judgement you trust) because I went into this with absolutely no idea what I wanted to do and. uh. picked a random professor who has never heard of positive reinforcement. Not gonna lie, this is kind of hell. Also general exams or quals are kind of hell, depending on your particular institution. Don’t get me wrong; I love physics - but oh my god. If anything were ever designed to suck the joy out of exploring the mathematical underpinnings of reality itself, it’s a bad physics grad school experience. (I do have friends at other institutions who are THRIVING and love it, so if you find a good group and it’s for you, it can be joyous!)

Did you know that platypuses have electroreceptive sensors in their bills? I fell into a wikipedia rabbit hole regarding animals (mostly fish) that can sense things either by passively picking up electric signals from their nerves firing or by generating their own electric field and sensing perturbations in conductivity nearby!

24 and 25 for the “wrapped” ask!

I cannot for the life of me remember if I read a fic - or maybe it was one of your posts?? - about the Great Maza Pun War. Is that a thing that sounds familiar, or was this something my brain dreamed up and I never got around to writing?
