PURECACAO HEADCANONS

─── ∘°❉°∘ ───

i love them so much<3

─── ∘°❉°∘ ───

Sometimes, Dark Cacao wakes up in a wild panic in the middle of the night. Pure Vanilla knows it’s because he had a nightmare about Dark Choco.

Dark Cacao gets heat strokes in the Vanilla Kingdom and Pure Vanilla gets undercooled in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, so they had a cottage built right on the border where the temperature was acceptable for both.

When Pure Vanilla does visit, he always makes sure to bring a sweet treat from his Kingdom for the warriors of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. Dark Cacao pretends not to notice.

Nobody knows this, but Dark Cacao absolutely adores gardening. It’s a wonderful feeling for him to have something so fragile yet so strong under his hands, something he can take care of without breaking. He was absolutely shattered when rabbits invaded his garden while both rulers were away.

Following the headcanon above, Dark Cacao claims the garden is Pure Vanilla’s whenever someone visits. Nobody believes him, but they humour him anyway.

Pure Vanilla found Dark Cacao sitting in his freezer the first time the warrior-king visited the Pure Vanilla Kingdom. Dark Cacao insisted he wanted to get ice cubes but got distracted.

They have quite a lot of children, unofficial and official. On Pure Vanilla’s side, we have Custard Cookie III, Strawberry Crêpe Cookie and Pancake Cookie. Dark Cacao demands he stops adopting orphaned cookies, to which Pure Vanilla replies he has Caramel Arrow Cookie, Crunchy Chip Cookie, Dark Choco Cookie and has grown closer and closer with Wizard Cookie.

Pure Vanilla is both an emotional and cheerful drunk. Dark Cacao either gets extremely quiet or loses himself in memories. Or, as seen before, tries to fight inanimate objects.

While Pure Vanilla’s children are fairly young and up-to-date with slang, all of Dark Cacao’s children are grown. Dark Cacao almost had a panic attack when he got told he had ‘epic skibidi rizz’. Pure Vanilla found it mighty entertaining.

People who have no sight don’t survive for long in the harsh climate of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, so Dark Cacao does not know what braille is. Pure Vanilla likes hearing his voice, so he tricked Dark Cacao into reading his favourite books out loud to him in the evening.

Both are, as their rarity suggests, very old. Their bodies age slower, but Dark Cacao stopped throwing birthdays after he turned 50 and stopped counting his age when he turned 200. He had no idea why Caramel Arrow and Crunchy Chip made such a big deal out of celebrating his birthday when he turned 420.

Because their bodies age so slowly, they had the body and voice of a twelve-year-old but the brains of a much older and wiser man. A little creepy, yes, but Dark Cacao used to love freaking ‘real’ adults out by speaking in extremely long and sophisticated sentences when he looked ten.

Everyone jokes about Dark Cacao’s extremely convincing poker face. In reality, he just doesn’t know if someone is making fun of him or not if they don’t match their joke with any facial expression, so he’ll just stare at them until they clarify.

Dark Cacao DOES NOT like Pure Vanilla Cookie’s staff. Pure Vanilla closes his eyes at night, so when Dark Cacao wakes up at three in the morning and sees a singular eye staring straight into his soul he (rightfully) freaks out.

Dark Cacao cried when Caramel Arrow left for college.

Pure Vanilla once put on an extremely elaborate lie; everyone kept asking him why he doesn’t like tomatoes, so he just said he was allergic. This does mean he cannot eat pizza, pasta or any of the sort when visiting friends, which upsets him greatly. Dark Cacao will sometimes ask for a container to take leftovers home so Pure Vanilla can eat it there. It’s a whole thing, but they’re too deep in to back out now.

It’s well known that Dark Cacao actively avoids therapy, but Pure Vanilla skips his sessions as well because ‘others need it more’. Dark Cacao once forced him to go; a mistake, because the therapist immediately had a session with him, too.

Pure Vanilla will go all-out for costume parties. Dark Cacao does not like dressing up, because it usually means leaving the vital parts of his body unprotected. They once went as Saint George and the Dragon (Pure Vanilla being the dragon and Dark Cacao being the knight) just so he could wear his beloved armour.

Dark Cacao is deadly allergic to bees. He did not know this before coming to the floral and sweet Hollyberry Kingdom.

Dark Cacao does not like PDA. At least, that’s what he tells himself as he makes no effort to stop Pure Vanilla’s kisses and hugs.

Dark Cacao loves chess, but is really bad at it. He beams with pride when Pure Vanilla lets him win.

[moonmeg]

Pre-confession, Robyn goes to pick Micah up to go to school together as he's been doing for years. It's part of his routine. Sometimes he buys little snacks for both on his way. One morning Breena informs him that Micah caught the common mold and can't attend school. Worried for Micah and sad that he has to walk alone, Robyn tells Breena to wish Micah a quick recovery. He himself was running late a bit already and couldn't stay to wish it personally.

Breena goes on to give an easy breakfast and a remedy potion to Micah. He eyes the potion cautiously. His mother confirms his theory of it being his grandfather's home remedy. Disgusting in taste and smell but effective. He tries to protest drinking it but it's no use. He grimaces at the taste and comments that if it was edible, even death would taste better. His mother goes through his hair, brushing the strands that fall into his face away to check his temperature. No fever.

"Was Robyn here?", he asks.

"Aye. He wishes ye a quick recovery."

She fixes his blanket and pillows before telling him to eat a little and rest. If anything happens, he's to send Lissa to fetch her or Neil. Micah hums in agreement.

A few hours later, there's a knocking on his window. His curtains are closed. He doesn't know who would be knocking there but Lissa jumps to open them. The sunlight blinds him at first and he only sees a blur but then he sees... Robyn?

He draws a spell circle to open the window. Robyn climbs in with a "hi" and almost trips over the carpet.

"Stealthy as always.", Micah comments dryly.

"It's the carpet.", Robyn argued.

"Course it is."

"Brushing my not-so-elegant entry aside-"

"Could ye close the window first, please?"

"Right, sorry."

Robyn turns and does so. He draws the curtain close a little before he continues. "My stealthy entry aside, how are you?", he steps closer to Micah's bed and lightly stumbles over the carpet again.

"Don't come close to me. Dinna want ye to catch this shite too."

"That wasn't my question.", Robyn grins and deliberately ignores what he was just told as he sits down on the bed.

Micah stares in disbelief for a moment. He shuffles away in the opposite direction of where Robyn is sitting to create the distance his best friend didn't seem to intend keeping.

"If ye're sick next week, it's yer own fault."

"I'll be fine.", Robyn chuckles, "Now answer my simple question."

"Eh typical common moldy.", Micah shrugs, "Can't really breathe through either nostril, coughing a bit, ye know the rest."

Robyn eyes Micah attentively. He is pale, more than usual, yet his face seems tinted red.

"Did you eat?", he asked.

"Mhm."

Robyn does the same as Breena before: he brushes the red curls from Micah's forehead aside to place his hand on it for a few seconds. Micah shudders lightly at the touch. Robyn's hand is so cold. It has something relieving about it after the first contact. He's been feeling too warm since this morning and the cool of Robyn's hand feels quite pleasant. He closes his eyes for the moment.

"You're hot-WARM! You're too warm, I mean.", Robyn removes his hand from Micah's forehead, "Are you sure you don't have a fever?"

Micah hums a "mh-mh" in disagreement this time.

"Did your mother check for that?"

"Mhm."

"How long is that ago?"

"This morning. Shortly after ye left."

"That's six hours!", Robyn exclaims with a hush of worry in his voice.

He looks around the room for a piece of cloth until he found something adequate enough. He takes out his notebook and rips a piece of paper out. He jumps to the page where he had copied those glyphs from his father's research to trace them. Their design is still rather new to him and aside from the fact they're all circles he barely rememberes anything else about them. Robyn activates the small ice glyph with a tap and wraps the cloth around it.

"Don't keep it on your head too long, that might undercool you too much. No longer than a few minutes.", Robyn instructs as he places the cool cloth on Micah's forehead. He looks down and catches Micah's tired eyes. Even in this circumstance they were so pretty. He was so pretty still. Robyn smiles softly but is quickly drawn out of his admiration again.

"Oh! Almost forgot why I came here in the first place!"

He rummages about in his school bag, obviously searching something. Micah watches perplexed until Robyn finally pulls out a small bag of flakes and a little glass container with a liquid inside. He places the items on Micah's night stand with an explanation: "I bought flakes this morning for us to share. Your favorite. Since you're sick though I kept them for later. Also a little remedy from potion class-"

"Ye made remedies today?"

"No, the task was something completely different but I thought I'd use the opportunity to make you one! The teacher didn't like it but what else is new?"

Micah prepped up on his elbow, took the container and inspected it a little. He removed the lid and instead of a bitter smell remedies usually have about them, this one was... sweeter. At least he thought to identify a sweeter smell through his blocked nostrils.

"It's not a high quality thing but it should help a little. I tried to cover the taste with some berries but I'm not sure how much that succeeded. I just hope it's helpful to your recovery somehow."

Micah looked up at Robyn and smiled uttering a "Thank you. Ye're so sweet."

Robyn chuckled again.

"I just want you to be back in school quicker."

"Did I miss a lot?", Micah put the container back and lied down on his pillow. He turned his body towards Robyn and looked at him with half closed eyes, listening in to what Robyn started telling.

He only understood half of what Robyn was talking about, his body aching for more sleep but he let Robyn talk. He loved listening to his voice. Listening to Robyn was nice and comfortable... calming. Even with the cracks here and there. Micah had no consciousness of time. He had no idea how long Robyn had been talking already, he simply allowed himself to bathe in the bliss.

"Mikey?", Robyn asked softly.

"Hm?"

"Should I go?"

His eyes open again, ripped out of his calm.

"No! No, please, stay!", Micah reaches to grab Robyn's wrist hastily.

"You're tired. I'm keeping you from resting with my blabbering."

"I'm listening! Ye're not keeping me from anything!"

"Micah..."

"Keep talking! As much as ye want! I like it when ye do."

Robyn yields and continues on with a sigh. His talking is a lot softer now. Just above a whisper in volume. Micah tries to keep his eyes open at first but the common mold and the fever has taken most of his energy. After a few minutes Robyn feels the grip on his wrist loosen. He looks over to Micah to check and sees him sleeping. He smiles, squeezes his hand and rises from the bed.

"Come on, Snowball. Time to go home.", he whispers and exits the same way he came in. He glances over his shoulder one more time to check on Micah and then he's gone.

Are you bringing anything for annual perpetual darkness potluck? I undercooled my nothingness nuggets, and im panicking cuz I don't want to be the only one showing up without anything???

just say that you brought Nothing and hold out empty hands. theyll eat that self referential high concept shit up, like im talking guffaws. entropic folk are easy to pander to.

[randgrrris]

in summer i'm overheating every day and in winter i get undercooling... i hate this job

[bear-do-well]

Imagine you are dying of hypothermia and some eldritch being takes pity with you and picks you up, carrying you around it it's huge hand, before bringing you into a realm that is warm, but strange and unnatural. After keeping you there for a while, it brings you to yet another realm. Beautiful, natural, warm. A perfectly engineered biotope where you can recover, free from worry.

Anyways, on an unrelated note, I found an undercooled butterfly on my walk today, brought it home, and after a while put it on a branch of our grape plant in our greenhouse

must be weird as hell to be a bug. time moves so differently simply because of your size.

but then again, they don't know better

Supercooling

Though pure materials have set freezing temperatures, conditions need to be right for solidification to actually occur. If conditions are right, liquids can be cooled below the freezing point of the substance and remain a liquid - this is known as supercooling. Supercooled liquids are by nature unstable and the right stimuli can lead to rapid solidification. Supercooling can be found naturally in some types of clouds and is often demonstrated with water; under the right conditions, with pure water (impurities act as nucleation sites for solidification) you can open your freezer to find a still liquid bottle of water. Supercooling is also sometimes known as undercooling.

[Venth pprs krmplt ↑p 1t känt B p3rfkt *gin]

Nicolas can't believe the rabbit of the moon is real. He tries to live his normal life, go to school, work whatever odd job’s turn it’s this week and avoid Worick's stupid jokes. But his mind is with her. Additional Warnings: crime (theft)

This week began like all weeks did, with grocery shopping. A Sisyphean task. Outside, clouds grayed out the early morning, skin damp from drizzle. Inside, a pungent smell of overripe fruit and undercooled meat wafted into his nose, harsh light crept into every crevice of the small store.

Monday morning, as the proverbial attitude went, was quietly loathed. Many children rather turned in their beds one more time than heed the alarm clock, and many adults drank their coffee as a substitute for sleep; Worick did both unsuccessfully. A great yawn that almost lost him the cigarette he called breakfast. After all these years, Nicolas still wasn’t used to the smell. The first cars drove by commuting to a workplace that he had to imagine as drudgerous, school definitely was. Nicolas squinted his eyes against the artificial glare of the corner store, yearning suddenly for the natural brilliance of the moonlight. How colorful the night was, who could’ve guessed in this drab city.

Three aisles of overstocked shelves, a barely working fridge and the register was the whole interior of the corner store. The backroom wasn’t more than a broom closet. The floor plan hadn’t changed in a decade, only the cashiers rotated through whichever teenager needed pocket money this week. A routine so suffocatingly mundane, it must have undoubtedly been invented by fiends to snare the human soul. A thing Nicolas did not possess, he considered himself lucky. Whether a heart beat strong or weak, they all danced to the same bleak rhythm. Deeth sparith not lowe ne hy degré. Popes, kynges, ne worthy emperours — whan thei shyne most in felicité, he can abate the fresshnes of her flours.

Let's discover just how each element affects your final selection.

Key understandings Step your room measurements and calculate square footage to establish BTU needs, going for 20 BTUs per square foot. Consider your neighborhood environment; hotter or extra moist areas call for higher BTU capabilities for reliable cooling. Assess insulation top quality, ceiling elevation, and window size, readjusting BTUs for sunlight exposure and shading. Select an air conditioner with a high SEER ranking for better energy effectiveness and reduced utility costs. Decide on the kind of unit (home window, central, mobile, ductless, or geothermal) based on your cooling demands and room requirements. Understanding Your Cooling Demands

Just how do you determine the best size ac system for your space? Begin by reviewing your air conditioning capacity needs, which is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). Compute the area of your space in square feet, as larger spaces call for more BTUs. Don't neglect climate considerations; if you reside in a specifically hot or damp location, you'll need a system with a higher capacity to maintain convenience.

To determine the proper cooling ability, you'll need to examine your room measurements. Procedure the length and size of the location, after that increase these numbers to get the square video footage. For a general guideline, go for 20 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of cooling ability per square foot of living area. If your room has high ceilings, huge windows, or obtains considerable sunshine, you might require to enhance this number. Alternatively, if the area is shaded or has insulation, you can somewhat decrease it. Appropriate sizing prevents overcooling or undercooling, ensuring your air conditioner runs successfully and keeps a pleasurable environment.

8 Hidden AC Problems That Only Pros Can Spot

Air conditioners have become an essential part of every home and office, especially during India’s scorching summers. While many of us focus on cleaning filters or topping up gas, there are deeper, hidden issues that often go unnoticed. These hidden problems can significantly impact your AC’s performance, energy consumption, and lifespan.

This is where professional help becomes essential. Whether you're searching for AC service in Ludhiana or looking up AC service near me, trained technicians are equipped to spot problems that a regular user may overlook. Let's explore the eight hidden AC issues that only experienced professionals can detect and resolve effectively.

1. Refrigerant Leaks in the Coil

Refrigerant is the lifeline of any air conditioner. A common hidden issue is a slow leak in the evaporator or condenser coil. While a layperson may assume the AC just needs gas refilling, professionals know to test for leaks and fix the root cause. Undetected leaks can reduce cooling efficiency and cause long-term damage.

2. Electrical Failures in Internal Components

The electrical system of an AC is more complex than it appears. Worn-out relays, faulty capacitors, or short-circuited wires often remain hidden until the system stops working. Skilled technicians perform multimeter checks to ensure every electrical component is functioning safely and efficiently.

3. Dirty Evaporator and Condenser Coils

Even if your AC seems to be cooling, dirty coils can put a strain on the compressor. These components are often not visible without opening the indoor and outdoor units. During professional AC service near me, technicians deep clean the coils, boosting energy efficiency and preventing potential breakdowns.

4. Sensor Malfunction

Most modern ACs have temperature sensors near the evaporator coil. A misplaced or faulty sensor can cause erratic cycling—turning the unit on and off unnecessarily. This kind of issue is often ignored until it leads to high electricity bills or poor cooling. Experts test and realign the sensor to ensure accurate operation.

5. Improper Airflow Due to Duct Issues

In split and ductable ACs, airflow plays a major role in cooling. Issues like leaky ducts, blockages, or insulation damage are nearly impossible for regular users to detect. Professionals use airflow meters and thermal cameras to inspect ducts and restore proper airflow.

6. Blocked Drainage Lines

A clogged drainage line can lead to water leakage inside the room, which often gets misdiagnosed as a cooling problem. This blockage isn’t always visible without disassembling parts of the indoor unit. Regular AC service in Ludhiana includes clearing these blockages to prevent mold growth and leakage.

7. Compressor Overheating

The compressor is like the engine of your AC. It may run, but not optimally if it’s overheating due to poor ventilation or internal wear. Overheating can silently damage the compressor over time. Only a trained eye can measure the compressor temperature and diagnose hidden inefficiencies before they escalate.

8. Incorrect Thermostat Calibration

Many homeowners don’t realize their thermostats are slightly off, leading to overcooling or undercooling. Professionals calibrate the thermostat correctly to ensure accurate temperature control, which helps in maintaining comfort and reducing power bills.

Fe, C 0.8 (wt%), eutectoid transformation - pearlite (coarse)

Processing Slow cooled [...] Technique Reflected light microscopy Length bar 200 μm / 80 µm / 40 µm Further information This steel is of the eutectoid composition. Once the temperature is lowered below the eutectoid temperature the steel becomes simultaneously supersaturated with both ferrite and cementite. A eutectoid transformation results (g to a + Fe3C). The resultant microstructure, known as pearlite, comprises lamellae of cementite (dark) embedded in ferrite (white). The platelets are parallel to each other and do not follow a specific crystallographic direction. Each pearlite colony is made up of a number of subgrains. Thus each pearlite colony consists of two interpenetrating single crystals having an orientation relationship with respect to each other and with respect to the austenite grain they grow from, but not with respect to the austenite grain they have grown into. Changes in the apparent interlamellar spacing from colony to colony in the photograph are due to differences in the lamellae spacing with respect to the polished surface. The coarseness of the pearlite is determined by the interlamellar spacing. This spacing is inversely proportional to the undercooling. This is primarily because of the increased rate of carbide nucleation with increased undercooling. The pearlite in this sample is coarse due to it being slowly cooled. The undercooling is low so the lamellae spacing is relatively large resulting in a coarse microstructure. [...] Organisation Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge
