Hey! Just wanted to do an update for the new year!

Sooo, what have I been up to? A lot actually!

First off, I'd like to introduce a new member to my household, her name is Lucky, and I found her on an urbex trip last year as a tiny thing, and looked how gorgeous she is as an adult!

Those markings are pretty neat, huh? She's looks just like a Maneki Neko, all that's missing is a red ribbon and koban coin. She has such a sweet, affectionate personality, she is surprisingly very open to strangers giving her attention, and she loves water! Yeah, she plays in water! She has zero fear of it and likes playing with the sink faucet or laying on my shoulders when I soaking in the bath. I think it stems from me taking her out to the garden with me in the summer when I was watering the plants, the puddles cooled her off.

Speaking of gardening, I have two new trees. Ginkgos! My great aunt had one in her front yard, these are the babies. Since it's way too cold to plant them directly into the ground, they're currently in pots. I want them to grow just a bit larger before transplanting them.

And yes, that's Sol posing by the new trees! Look how handsome he is now! I'm glad he and his sister took in Lucky as an honorable sibling, I think she'd be very lonely otherwise. Stella has also grown up to be beautiful, and likes sharing her bed with Lucky. Orion doesn't like her though. Lol but he tolerates her so long as she doesn't get too close.

My health is better, thankfully. While I think I'll always have hypotension now, my doctor and I found a setup that works to keep it at bay. I have to watch my activity level and learn to rest properly (exercise can cause BP to drop fast), and stay hydrated with electrolytes daily. I have to set reminders though, since Im so bad at remembering. So far I haven't had any relapses for 7 months. I've also oddly lost a lot of weight, I thought it was suspicious, but my doctor said I'm actually at my BMI and the weight loss was gradual. My records show it was within a normal time range. Idk it felt so sudden to ME, but maybe I didn't notice it until recently. Eh. My sense of time isn't the best. Whatever the case, I was told to keep doing whatever I'm doing.

Work is... just as weird as always! Lol to the point it's kind of not weird for me anymore, I've gotten used to the strangeness of it. My brother however never got used to it. He actually quit working for the labs, not because it scared him off but because he finally got his major finished and he is working in an observatory down south. I'm proud of him! Space has always been a big interest for him, and the space science here in NM is growing!

As for creating, I've been busy writing two fanfics on Ao3. One is a Pokemon story, Come What May, and another is an alternate take on the classic Disney film, The Little Mermaid, called Candle on the Water. They're pretty long, my Pokemon fic is currently topping 20 chapters! I'd really appreciate if more people read them. Give em a little love. It's not the best work ever, but I'm kinda proud of them. They were written when I was struggling with a lot of self doubt and mild Imposter Syndrome. I'm working on being more gentle to myself and not letting perfectionism sabotage me or stop me from creating, and I'm kinda seeing that effort pay off bit by bit.

I've also been doing some song covers. I'm not sure if I'm confident in sharing those yet, but I've gotten a lot of encouragement from my family and my brother's friend who has been letting me borrow his music studio for recording sessions. Maybe I'll post one song if it's requested. I have three covers so far and they're all Evanescence. XD

Its been a very peaceful time for me, I got a raise last November and it's been nice. I've been treating myself to stationery and home decor. I splurged a bit and got two gaming devices from Anbernic, and have been modding my 3DSXL. Because screw gaming companies and their paywalling/microtransactions. It's time we start actually owning our games again, including media like music and movies.

I think this year is going to focus on retro media for me. CDs, DVDs, cassettes and vinyls. I've been rediscovering my collection in the garage and learning to maintain/fix my devices. Because while I do enjoy my modern media, I like the thought of having offline backups should I not have access to it later.

And my old school stuff takes me back to my summer days in school when I couldn't wait to get home to play my Gameboy while listening to my CDs, reading comics, or doodle and write short stories in my notebooks, or make zines with my friends. That might be something to revisit this summer.

I hope everything has been going well for you all, and if not, I hope it will soon. I may just return to this year, but probably gradually. I missed you all, and I miss sharing bits of my life here with you.

Take care! 💕

Edit: I'm not coming back. I'm sorry.

Analysis of Dr. Merlot’s Mutant Serum (Ooze) in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse

Dr. Merlot’s Mutant Serum, referred to as “Ooze” due to its glowing green, toxic appearance, is a pivotal creation in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. This serum is responsible for transforming standard Grimm into enhanced, mutated versions with superior strength, size, and unique abilities. Below, I analyze its creation process, possible methods (including dust, ancient magic, or other means), and its properties based on the provided information.

Creation of the Mutant Serum

Source Material: Radioactive Ooze

The serum is derived from a mysterious radioactive substance naturally produced on Merlot’s remote island. This glowing green ooze is collected from toxic pools via pipes and processed in Merlot’s laboratory complex.

The radioactive nature suggests it could be a unique, naturally occurring element or compound not found elsewhere in Remnant, possibly tied to the island’s desert-like, hazardous environment.

No explicit mention is made of Dust (Remnant’s elemental energy source) or ancient magic being involved, but these cannot be ruled out entirely, as Merlot’s advanced scientific knowledge might incorporate such elements subtly.

Merlot’s Scientific Expertise

Dr. Merlot, a brilliant scientist and founder of Merlot Industries, specializes in genetics and artificial intelligence. His expertise in Grimm biology—unmatched by others in Remnant—allowed him to develop the serum.

The serum’s creation likely involves genetic engineering or biochemical manipulation, altering the Grimm’s physiology at a cellular level. This could include:

Splicing or modifying Grimm DNA (if Grimm possess such a structure, which is unclear in RWBY lore).

Infusing the radioactive ooze with stabilizing agents to make it viable for injection or exposure.

Catalyzing mutations through controlled exposure to the ooze, possibly in a lab environment with specialized equipment.

Merlot’s laboratory is equipped with advanced technology, including terminals and androids, suggesting a high-tech setup for refining the ooze into a usable serum.

Possible Involvement of Dust or Ancient Magic

Dust: In RWBY, Dust is a versatile energy source used in technology and combat. While not explicitly stated, Merlot might have used Dust (e.g., Gravity or Energy Dust) to stabilize or enhance the ooze’s radioactive properties. For example:

Dust could power the machinery that processes the ooze.

Certain Dust types (like Fire or Lightning) might amplify the serum’s mutative effects.

Ancient Magic: The RWBY universe includes ancient magic (e.g., the Maidens, Ozpin’s abilities), but there’s no direct evidence Merlot used it. However:

The ooze’s unique properties and the Grimm’s supernatural nature (as soulless creatures tied to Remnant’s darker forces) could hint at an arcane connection. The ooze might be a byproduct of ancient magical phenomena on the island, which Merlot scientifically harnessed.

Merlot’s god complex and obsession with “perfecting” Grimm suggest he might have sought forbidden knowledge, potentially dabbling in magical or alchemical processes.

Other Possibilities: The ooze could be a naturally occurring alchemical substance or a remnant of some ancient cataclysm tied to the Grimm’s origins. Merlot’s success where others failed might stem from his willingness to experiment with this volatile material, combining it with his scientific prowess.

Process of Creation

Collection: Pipes extract the radioactive ooze from toxic pools on the island.

Refinement: In the laboratory, the ooze is processed into a serum, likely through filtration, chemical stabilization, or genetic engineering techniques.

Application: The serum is administered to Grimm (via injection, exposure, or other means), triggering rapid mutations. The process is precise, as different Grimm species develop distinct abilities (e.g., explosive Creeps, spike-firing Beowolves).

Properties of the Mutant Serum

The serum dramatically enhances Grimm, altering their physical and behavioral traits. Its properties, as observed in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and RWBY: Combat Ready, include:

Physical and Visual Changes

Color Shift: Mutated Grimm exhibit green eyes, markings, and internal structures (contrasting with the red of standard Grimm). Their spikes resemble glowing green crystals, likely a result of the ooze’s radioactive influence.

Increased Size and Strength: Mutated Grimm are significantly larger and stronger than their normal counterparts, making them more formidable in combat.

Enhanced Durability: The mutations likely increase resilience, as seen with the mutant Death Stalker, which withstands prolonged battles against Team RWBY.

Species-Specific Abilities

The serum’s effects vary by Grimm species, suggesting it interacts with their unique biological or supernatural traits:

Mutant Creeps:

Gain explosive capabilities, seeking out enemies and detonating on proximity.

This suggests the serum alters their physiology to produce volatile compounds or energy within their bodies.

Mutant Beowolves:

Develop a ranged attack, firing a line of crystal-like bone spikes that erupt from the ground.

The spikes’ crystalline appearance ties to the serum’s green, crystalline aesthetic, indicating a structural change in their bone or exoskeletal material.

Mutant Death Stalker:

Gains multiple new attacks, including enhanced physical strikes and the ability to spawn smaller Grimm.

This spawning ability is unprecedented among standard Grimm, suggesting the serum unlocks or mimics a reproductive or summoning mechanism.

Grimm Hybrids (RWBY: Combat Ready):

Merlot creates hybrid Grimm, combining traits of multiple species. The serum likely enables cross-species genetic or supernatural fusion, though the exact method is unknown.

Behavioral Changes

Mutated Grimm retain their aggressive instincts but may exhibit altered tactics due to their new abilities (e.g., Creeps’ kamikaze behavior, Beowolves’ ranged attacks).

Merlot’s belief in controlling Grimm suggests the serum might include mechanisms to make them more responsive to commands, though this is not fully realized in the game.

Stability and Limitations

The serum appears stable, as mutated Grimm function effectively without immediate degradation.

However, its long-term effects are unclear. The destruction of Merlot’s lab and island suggests the serum’s production is unsustainable without the island’s ooze.

The serum’s reliance on a unique radioactive substance limits its scalability, as the ooze is tied to the island’s geology.

How Merlot Made the Serum: Hypothetical Methods

Based on the evidence, Merlot’s creation process likely combines advanced science with the island’s unique resources. Here’s a plausible step-by-step method:

Discovery of the Ooze:

Merlot identifies the radioactive ooze on the island, recognizing its potential to affect Grimm biology due to its supernatural or radioactive properties.

Scientific Analysis:

Using his expertise in genetics, Merlot studies the ooze’s composition, possibly identifying its mutagenic properties through experiments on captured Grimm.

Stabilization:

The raw ooze is refined into a serum using laboratory equipment. This might involve:

Filtering out impurities.

Adding stabilizing agents (potentially Dust-based compounds).

Enhancing its potency through biochemical processes.

Genetic Engineering:

Merlot designs the serum to target specific aspects of Grimm physiology, tailoring it to produce desired mutations (e.g., explosive Creeps, spike-firing Beowolves).

This could involve synthetic biology or nanotechnology to ensure precise delivery of the ooze’s effects.

Testing and Iteration:

Merlot tests the serum on various Grimm species, refining it based on results. The terminal note “Process status: 78% completed” suggests the serum was still in development.

Application:

The serum is administered to Grimm in controlled environments (e.g., cages or lab chambers), triggering rapid mutations.

Role of Dust or Magic

Dust: If used, Dust likely powers the lab’s equipment or enhances the serum’s effects. For example, Energy Dust could amplify the ooze’s radioactivity, while Gravity Dust might stabilize its volatile nature.

Ancient Magic: If magic is involved, it could be an unconscious byproduct of the ooze’s origins (e.g., tied to the God of Darkness or Grimm creation). Merlot, unaware of its magical nature, treats it as a scientific phenomenon.

Other: The ooze might be a Remnant-specific anomaly, akin to a radioactive isotope with supernatural properties. Merlot’s success lies in his ability to harness it without fully understanding its origins.

Implications and Context

Merlot’s Motivation: Merlot’s god complex and belief in “perfecting” Grimm drive his serum research. He views nature’s evolution as flawed and seeks to impose his vision of control and enhancement, as reflected in the song Lusus Naturae.

Ethical Concerns: The serum’s creation involved unethical practices, including attracting Grimm to Mountain Glenn, leading to the settlement’s destruction. Merlot’s “ends justify the means” mentality underscores the serum’s dangerous potential.

Comparison to The Island of Doctor Moreau: The serum parallels Dr. Moreau’s experiments, forcing unnatural evolution on creatures. Like Moreau, Merlot’s hubris leads to his downfall when his creations and lab are destroyed.

Impact on Remnant: The serum’s existence raises questions about Grimm biology and their potential for manipulation. Merlot’s success, though catastrophic, suggests other scientists might attempt similar experiments, posing future threats.

Conclusion

Dr. Merlot’s Mutant Serum, derived from a radioactive ooze found on his island, is a groundbreaking yet dangerous invention that transforms Grimm into powerful, mutated forms with green crystalline features and species-specific abilities (e.g., explosive Creeps, spike-firing Beowolves, spawning Death Stalkers). Its creation likely involves genetic engineering, biochemical refinement, and possibly Dust to stabilize or enhance the ooze, though ancient magic remains a speculative factor tied to the ooze’s mysterious origins. The serum’s properties include enhanced strength, size, durability, and unique combat abilities, but its reliance on a rare resource limits its scalability. Merlot’s scientific brilliance, combined with his god complex, makes the serum a testament to his ambition and a cautionary tale of unchecked experimentation in the RWBY universe.

(Think it works like the mutagen could it mutate beings.)

9-1-1 "Sick Day" liveblog (final thoughts)

aaaaand that's the episode!

honestly, I feel like the writing was pretty weak, but I imagine they were really constrained by the need to make The Stakes as high as possible, and the fact that they've already been raising The Stakes for 8 seasons now.

and I'm NOT just saying that cause there was no Eddie! (apparently that's an accusation going around??) I really don't even like Eddie that much tbh; my favorite things about him are Buddie and Christopher. Like I'm not saying I'm glad he wasn't there, just that that wasn't the issue.

Like, honestly, I usually find "contagion" storylines pretty fun, and this setup HAS potential, but there were just so many inaccuracies and inconsistencies that it was kind of distracting. Like, inaccuracies alone can be chalked up to "that's just how things work in the world of the show", but there were also inconsistencies with what had already been established onscreen?

I wonder if the ep would have benefited from not squeezing the bus accident in at the beginning? But I did appreciate that Ravi got some development. His little rebel moment was very fun!

Buck was great, loved him. Love this new "spymaster" role he's taking on.

I continue to struggle to find anything to like about Athena. Like, she's a cop, and she's tough, I get it!

They did Hen dirty TWO episodes in a row; I will not forget this...😠

tbh i could probably be way more forgiving of all the inaccuracies if the ep wasn't a multi-parter...like, if it's a "monster of the week" situation, everyone ends up MOSTLY fine by the end, we get to move on with our lives, that would've been easier to disregard. But no, you want me to take your fake science seriously! :P

Moira is a cool concept for a villain, and I think with just a little tweaking to her dialogue to sound less "fairy tale evil queen" and more "jaded but ambitious (and secretly quite unhinged) woman in STEM", she could've been all the more compelling and believable.

thoughts and prayers for Chimney Han!!! 😥🙏💙

AND Hen, too, jeez, hope they gave her some morphine or something!

in the perfect version in my imagination, they would NOT have operated on Hen, the army would have gotten them out, (and Hen to the hospital) and THEN Chim would've started showing symptoms, and they would have learned about the incubation period. And then the guys could've still been quarantined! If it's that important, I'm sure they could've even managed to still have the guys trapped in the lab-- as soon as they get Hen out, have the ceiling collapse or something, they love to do that!

I need you people to try this game- it's an open-source survival sci-fi traditional roguelike called Cataclysm Bright Nights. It's a fork based off of Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, but designed to be more focused on fun than punishing realism- though it's still plenty realistic, at least given what kind of game it is.

For those who don't know, Cataclysm is an old game, from 2010, that has been developed over time and has since forked off into two competing versions. You play as the survivor of the Cataclysm, and now have to figure out how to keep surviving in the face of an ever-evolving threat.

Grab the game from the release section of the github; the game's full description (and my gushing) is below the cut.

You may be asking, "that description is kind of vague, what exactly was this apocalypse?", well the answer is all of them. Every single human is infected with a parasitic interdimensional organism known as The Blob, which mutates its host in response to certain things. Every living human, and many animals, that dies will come back as a zombie, and the longer the Cataclysm goes on, the more the zombies and wildlife will mutate further. There are also crazed humans who fight alongside the undead, bandits, alien invaders known as Mi-Go, demons rising from the netherrealms, hostile military robots and cyborgs and turrets dot the landscape, and there's even a fungal hive mind trying to infect all other life out of a twisted benevolence.

The game also has one of the most indepth crafting systems I've ever seen. Instead of simply being able to build with a workbench or your bare hands, most crafting recipes require the proper tools- and if you don't have them, you can make some. Pick some flowers to turn their stems into cordage, grab some rocks, and make a stone hammer and knife; build a basic screwdriver out of scrap metal and wood, and a makeshift crowbar out of a pipe you flattened on one end. Carve a wooden or bone needle and learn to sew a gambeson. Disassemble a lawnmower and tie the blade to a long stick to make a makeshift polearm. Construct a full forging setup and make yourself a sword and metal armor. Add an electric motor and a motorcycle battery to a bicycle to make it run that much faster. Take the turret mount off of a firetruck, weld it to the hood of the car you stole, and install a handmade laser rifle you built from disassembled electronics and camera lenses to run off of the car's battery, allowing you to gun down the undead hordes in relative safety. Disassemble .308 ammo to hand-load the spent 5.56 shells you used gunning down enemies. Delve into ruined laboratories whose experiments have run amok to find high-tech weapons and learn to craft your own targeted mutagens.

You can also learn martial arts, strengthening your abilities with melee weapons. Everyone learns basic brawling once they know how to hit something, but brawling takes higher skill to gain the basic techniques; proper fighting styles have to be carefully found, but are worth it. Use Eskrima and an extendable baton or a dagger to smack and dice your enemies apart, use fencing to effortlessly parry enemy attacks with a rapier, use ninjutsu to silently take down foes, learn drunken boxing to sway and counterattack every single enemy blow, or even learn biojutsu to slice your enemies apart with implanted metal claws or blades.

The game is also unique in that it lets you use mutations and cybernetics hand in hand. You mutating a pair of venomous fangs doesn't stop you from installing smoke and poison resistant cybernetic lungs, you mutating hooves doesn't stop you from installing high-tech alloy plating onto your legs. And you can loot cybernetics from hospitals and augmentation clinics and labs, but you can also dissect zombies for them, using your first aid skill to carefully extract bionics from the undead- you can even build a handheld device to identify bionics in corpses. Generally, mutations are less reliable but cost hunger at most, while cybernetics are more reliable but harder to power and gain.

All in all, it's one of the best roguelikes I've ever played. There's so much to it, there's daily updates, grab the Catapult launcher to try all four forks, just try it out! There's a discord server linked in the github!
