" you let out a shrill cry. desperation tearing out your vocals as you reach out, hand extended. and, as merciful as i am. i answered your call. "

another doodle of these two again help more doodles + concept designs under the cut (and also additional tectonic plates doodle too)

tmw both of your suppressed guilt and mistakes are the main reason why you hate yourself. yet something about it makes you feel whole and it's such a disgusting, satisfying feeling.

anyway wow i didnt expect i would like this ship (technically i dont ship it romantic wise LMAO i LOVE metaphors too okay i think we're shipping metaphors in a way now/silly/pos)

Animorphs Book club book 8

My reaction can be summarised as this (yet again):

I don't have many thoughts because uh. That was depressing as hell and I need to stare at a wall.

But I DO gotta say that the subplot with the dead "wife" was so telenovela-esque that for a good minute it was more funny than depressing. Then it got depressing. But it was so jarring and so far out of the left field that for a good second my friend and I had to pause the audiobook and laugh because ????????? Unhinged to just appear, go "I am Eslin, I have a G U N. My secret wife was killed. By my boss. Now I yearn for sweet sweet revenge." and not elaborate. Like. Damn dude ok. Sorry about our wife also. Fucking killed me that he continued like "So anyway I reacted adequately by killing all of my boss' friends. Starvation style." Like ???? Jjhsgdjsdfghsjdfh what????? I mean damn I do respect the grind set but also that's such an absurd escalation out of context. Did your boss kill your wife? Kill all of his friends! And in context the most absurd part is probably the notion that Visser 3 has friends??????? Like??? Wait no Eslin. Eslin wait. I love your John Wick-esque "fridged wife" trope swag but you need to slow down. I need details. I need you to tell me HOW your boss even has friends.

In my heart I do not believe we will see that madman ever again but on god I do wish for an insane telenovela-esque sequence of him just showing up at the most random moment to do exactly one thing and that's to pull a gun on Visser 3. For no reason, I just think it would be kinda funny. Like,,,did your boss kill your wife?:

Kill all of his friends

Acquire a G U N

Attempt to make the local Andalite youth assassinate your boss for you

Pull the gun on your boss

???????

Profit (probably die)

Aside from that, I also need to say that the moment when Ax called Tobias his close friend at the end was so sweet. Also ngl kinda...concerning/harrowing how much Tobias really doesn't give a shit about not being a human. Like it doesn't seem so concerning from other points of view but the way Ax gets increasingly weirded out by Tobias not asking him about the nothlit (idk if I'm spelling that right rn) really reminds you that it IS kinda worrying. Like I get it, I mean...Tobias has no family that cares about him, he has no friends outside of the Animorphs friend group, why would he care? But it's still kinda...yeah.

Also unimaginably surprised by the amount of collective guilt present in the Andalite society. You'd think they're Catholic or something the way they keep beating themselves up and force everyone to also beat themselves up and their system itself is saturated with the guilt and shame and they teach it to kids at school from an early age. Like. Jesus Christ calm down. Stop that. As the Animorphs said at the end of the book - the Andalites made an oopsie once. It sucked, yes, it continues to have consequences that suck, yes, but it happens. Sometimes you think you're doing something kind and it turns into a disaster. That does not mean you should beat yourself up for it or, god forbid, tell other people that they should not be kind lest they make a mistake. Damn I guess we should all be cold assholes forever, huh? I'm sure that can't have any negative consequences.

Andalite society in general seems kinda unhinged. Like...do I get why it is like that? Yeah. But do I find it unhinged? Also yeah. Like ok duty and the collective being the most important things is totally sensible for a prey animal. Safety of the herd and all that. But it's still kinda unhinged that they do make everyone have duty as their number 1 priority and that they have rituals devoted to it. Not all rituals are spiritual or religious in nature, but the morning ritual is kinda...borderline religious in a way. More spiritual than religious, I suppose, but yeah.

Also I love Ax so much. 10/10 character. He has it all: an incredibly hilarious desire for cinnamon buns, the inability to act like a human being (same dude), spitting random facts at completely random times, a thirst for blood only a 13(?) years old could have, a dysfunctional obsession with duty and doing what is right that only a 13(?) years old could have (also lol yeah dude I was like that when I was 13 too. dw you'll grow out of it), he can even code. And he might even be bi (I'm joking but I' referring to the fact that he was like "Yeah so when I morph into a human form I suddenly agree that Rachel is beautiful and that Marco is cute.").

Me, screaming into the void about Papa V's grucifix brooch because I can figure out all the stone shapes, sizes, layout, colors, and even find settings that fit them, but

I cannot find those settings in that gunmetal/rhodium color. Only in raw brass.

So now I'm looking into electroplating because sure, why the fuck not, lets play with the serious chemicals now, fuck it.

[fortune-maiden]

Aaaaand I’m stuck xD

Chapter 2 was always the chapter I used to get stuck on as a kid because it took me forever to figure out the coat hanger puzzle. For some reason though I could have sworn that breaking into Dunning’s Office and the confrontation with Louie were both Ch 3 events but apparently not!

Maybe it’s a testament to just how long Ch 2 used to take me…

Also I hate that crowbar puzzle so much now. It’s not even hard! :’)

Also Louie’s interrogation is very forgiving but I have a feeling I am not going to be doing so well on the next ones.

This is the game where being too nice is going to get you a game over just as quickly as being too mean will

Meanwhile in the actual Chapter 3, I have 4 things i could be doing but don’t remember how to get Kyle Hyde to do any of them :’)

Bro I had a dream that left me so fucked up. Yeah it was full of wacky stuff like people with powers and half human half transformers guys??? Anyway. I began dating?? Married??? one of those transformers mestizo guys (because of course I did). And I don't remember much afterwards UNTIL I was inside a house and all my "family" (not my real family but transformer guy and his family and some "friends" that I didn't recognize) was there and at some point I went to an empty room with this large window.

And when I looked out the window the landscape was so pretty, and I was so mesmerized, and I said "I think life is worth living" out loud and I began thinking about my life and how I'd gotten to that point and how I was surrounded by people I love and I thought about how proud my dead parents (they aren't dead irl but they were in the dream ig) would be and how much I missed them and wished they could see me. And I felt this overwhelming sense of grief and nostalgia and peace and Idk, something VERY strong, so strong I sank to the floor and cried. And then my half transformer husband entered the room and comforted me. And then I don't remember anything else but that weird feeling was SO REAL and what I said out loud was so out of character for me I'm highkey shaken

TLDR marrying a non-human entity cured my depression in a dream and restored my will to live

Next-Gen Thermal Solutions: Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers

As industries across the globe push for energy efficiency, compact solutions, and easy maintenance, Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers (PHEs) have emerged as the go-to technology in thermal exchange systems. These versatile units are engineered to transfer heat between two fluids without mixing them—making them ideal for applications in power plants, food processing, chemical refineries, HVAC systems, and more.

Unlike traditional shell-and-tube exchangers, PHEs are designed with a series of corrugated metal plates that create turbulence and maximize surface area. This translates to superior heat transfer, smaller footprints, and easy scalability, making PHEs a smart investment for both retrofit projects and new plant builds.

How Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers Work

The construction of a PHE involves multiple thin plates—usually made of stainless steel or titanium—arranged in a frame with gaskets or brazing. Fluids flow in alternating channels, with hot and cold streams separated by each plate. The corrugation of the plates induces turbulent flow even at low Reynolds numbers, dramatically enhancing heat transfer efficiency while reducing fouling and pressure drop.

There are three common types of plate heat exchangers:

Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers – Ideal for processes requiring frequent cleaning or flexible operation.

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers – Compact and maintenance-free, commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration.

Welded Plate Heat Exchangers – Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where gaskets are unsuitable.

Market Growth and Industry Trends

The global Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers Market is projected to grow significantly, driven by decarbonization goals, rising energy costs, and demand for clean energy technologies. The market is expected to reach USD 10.50 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.

Key market trends include:

Shift toward renewable energy integration – PHEs are essential in geothermal and solar thermal systems for efficient heat recovery.

Growth in food & beverage processing – Hygienic design and CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatibility make PHEs crucial for pasteurization, brewing, and dairy processing.

Expansion of district heating & cooling networks – Particularly in Europe and Asia, where governments are investing in sustainable urban infrastructure.

Rising demand for modularity – Manufacturers and utilities prefer solutions that are easy to expand or service without major system downtime.

Danfoss (Denmark) – Provides energy-efficient PHEs designed for heat pumps and commercial building systems.

These companies are investing heavily in digital monitoring, anti-corrosion materials, and modular designs to future-proof their offerings.

Why Industry Experts Prefer Plate & Frame Designs

From a procurement and operational perspective, Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers offer several compelling advantages:

Energy Efficiency: The turbulent flow and large surface area minimize thermal resistance, leading to superior energy savings.

Space-Saving: Their compact structure allows installation in tight spaces—a huge benefit in retrofitting legacy systems.

Easy Maintenance: Gasketed models can be disassembled quickly, reducing downtime and cleaning costs.

Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of fluids, temperatures, and pressures, making them ideal for multipurpose facilities.

Sustainability: Many PHEs today are optimized for low-GWP refrigerants and contribute to LEED-certified building designs.

For plant engineers and systems integrators, these benefits translate into long-term operational cost savings and improved process control.
