Taylor Swift DMed me asking for feet pics and I sent them to her but she ended up selling them for a thousand dollars on eBay and I felt so angry that I combusted myself.

Parting a Flame

A sheet of flame splits around a cylinder in this Gallery of Fluid Motion poster. Looking at the image sequences, you can see how the flames lift up as they flow around the cylinder, following the arms of a horseshoe vortex.  (Image credit: L. Shannon et al.) Read the full article

We're here for the burnouts and the epic revs 🤘

[sneakyaxolotl]

dear @cannieclownery , i would like you to know that your "I can imagine anything, Courier" drawing has been a huge inside joke between me and my friends for like a month. We have it as an emote in our server called :explodesyouwithmymind:, and we made a cult around the image called "Cult of Combustion" (let me know if you want the server link), and it's currently my discord server's icon. I even redrew it with Yes Man. I just want to say that you're my idol

I think it would be funny if you exploded

-explosion anon

That’s a funny way to threaten someone.

Have fun when I cast MOLTEN HEAT and you die of overheating.

Okay but hear me out

“Whatever you want, anything you want, I’ll give it to you. Just make it stop.”

“Take me instead, please?” “What would I want with someone as pathetic as you?”

@enigmaticcattic

You slowly began waking up, head throbbing. Your face ached all over as you slowly moved. 

You were on the hard pavement, on the floor… You barely registered what was happening before you realized.

La Muerte… They had summoned you to their domain hadn't they? 

They had said something… Something important.

As you kept moving you tried to place your finger on it.

Until it hit you.

"You are always the puppeteer, mi corazón. Perhaps… It's time someone else took control."

You remember feeling the fire in your chest grow in anger, but as you repeated each word in your mind trying to make sense of what they had meant you started to realize… 

Where-? Where exactly were you going?

You didn't notice when you had started walking but as you tried to stop yourself and think you found yourself unable to.

You felt butterflies in your stomach. Not the pleasant, romantic type, but plain ol' anxiety.

You tried to remember what you had been doing beforehand. 

You had been going somewhere hadn't you…?

But as you kept walking you spotted a familiar sight.

That's right, you had been going to visit Illusion and CC when… when you suddenly blacked out.

You scrunched your nose up in confusion. That wasn't how it usually happened, so why…?

You forced yourself to remember more.

What had la Muerte meant by that… 

Saying they had been mad was an understatement. They clearly weren't taking the breakup well, if you could even call it that.

You had thought nothing had come of it however, seeing as there was radio silence from their part for months, until… Until today.

As you approached the apartment door you wondered, why today?

What had changed?

A little voice in your head told you many things had, in fact, changed. But you chose to ignore it.

Before you realized it you were already picking the lock to their home, you tried to stop yourself to no avail again.

What was happening?

That's when you heard it, a familiar, resounding, laughter.

You looked around as much as you could, but it was difficult as you found yourself unable to move your head.

You tried to speak, but you couldn't.

Instead a name popped into your mind. "La Muerte?"

More laughter. "Hola, cariño."

That's when you realized the voice wasn't coming from around you… but inside you.

But before you could question it.

CLICK.

Your attention was caught by the door… the door that led to your beloveds.

"This isn't funny, Muerte, you better let me go or-"

"Oh, quite the contrary, I think it's very entertaining"

You had to find out what was happening and fast.

You and la Muerte weren't on the best terms right now, and you would rather not have the god of death and destruction near your partners.

 "...What do you want?"

"Can't a god just have some fun every once in a while?"

You were about to interject when you felt yourself walking inside the apartment.

"La Muerte, wait!"

“Whatever you want, anything you want, I’ll give it to you. Just leave them out of this!” you cried desperately, unable to sever the strings that controlled your body.

“Whatever I want?" Came their response, an echo in your mind. "What would I want with someone as pathetic as you?” They laughed mercilessly.

"You changed, mi amor… You are worthless to me now. So why not have a little fun?"

Your breathing was controlled, a great contrast to how you were feeling at the moment, as you slowly, against your will, grabbed a knife from the counter. 

"If you dare touch even a single hair from their heads I swear-" 

But you were interrupted by that mocking laughter. "You will do what, dulzura?"

"You have no control, and you know it. But don't worry, I'll make sure your eyes are wide open when I make you pierce the sweet tender flesh of your friends."

"Fiero? Is that you?" Came CC's voice from inside the little apartment and you felt your body perk up following the direction of their voice. No no no no…

"Coming!" You answered despite yourself.

"Fiero!" Illusion peeked out from behind the door. "It was time you showed… up?" 

But their eyes found the knife and you saw how their face fell.

You tried to warn them, you tried to shout at them to leave. But your pleads fell on deaf ears as you lunged at them.

The commotion was enough to get CC to come out and see what was happening.

It had been a slow process to gain their trust and now all of that had been lost in the blink of an eye.

You lunged at the duo again, but suddenly everything stopped.

A gasp, your own, and you felt a sharp pain in the chest.

A vine had gone through your heart.

Crimson coated the floor as you coughed up blood.

Everything started fading, but your body kept moving.

The last thing you saw were their stunned faces as you laughed.

"No no no no, please!" You shouted.

And then everything went black.

Concentration-independent pressure sensing method developed for high-temperature combustion diagnostics

Recently, a research group led by Prof. Gao Xiaoming and Prof. Liu Kun from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a concentration-independent pressure sensing method based on two-color laser absorption spectroscopy for high-temperature combustion diagnostics. The research results were published in Optics Letters. Aero engines are moving towards high-temperature and high-pressure combustion to improve thermodynamic efficiency. Pressure is an important parameter to monitor engine performance and diagnose engine faults. However, conventional contact pressure sensors not only disturb the combustion flows but also suffer from the temperature tolerance limit of sensor materials.

𖤓 Under the beams, combustion, and cazimi 𖤓

Brought to you by the upcoming Venus Cazimi🦩.

A planet's visibility directly correlates with its proximity to the Sun, & in traditional astrology, it's crucial to consider how easily we can spot a planet through the naked eye. As a planet moves closer to the Sun, it is said to "decrease in light," meaning it becomes weaker & less capable of expressing its significations adequately.

The extent of this change in brightness and power depends on the planet's proximity to the Sun. A planet is least visible when it's exactly conjunct the Sun. On the other hand, a planet shines brightest when it's directly opposite the Sun, indicating it's as far away from it as it could get.

Once a planet gets within about seventeen degrees of the Sun, the planet's loss of brightness becomes super significant. This is where the terms listed above become relevant.

→ "Under the beams" : refers to when the Sun and a planet are within 17 degrees of each other (or, according to Hellenistic astrology, 15°).

From our perspective on Earth, the Sun is blinding, overshadowing anything relatively close to it with its rays. Applying this to astrology, when a planet goes "under the beams" of the Sun, it becomes weakened. It struggles to express its meanings effectively. This condition does not depend on planets being in the same sign — it's entirely based on degrees. It's somewhat like combustion but less intense.

If combustion is incineration, "Under The Beams" is more akin to getting sunburnt.

→ Combustion: within 8 degrees of Sun.

When a planet comes within about 8 degrees of the Sun, it's considered "combust." Some texts suggest that not only does the planet become hidden, it's also actively destroyed by the Sun in this scenario.

How combustion affects a planet depends entirely on its nature. For example, Mars, which is already hot and dry, though less powerful because it's less visible, has chances of becoming even more hostile while combust. Venus is moist, so its destruction is much more effective. Mercury is quite unique here in the sense that it’s already hot and dry due to its proximity to the Sun, & due to it moving quickly and changing direction frequently, it's seen as a more adaptable planet — so when Mercury is combust or under the beams, it doesn't suffer as much as other planets.

Planets like Venus and Mercury are often combust since they’re never too far from the sun, so it doesn't mean you're doomed if it’s something you have natally — said planet might simply act more like a retrograde and represent a bit of a blind spot for the native when it comes to house topics it rules over. For example, if Mercury rules your 3rd house, you might not realize how your words come across. It’s something that you’ll need to overcome with some conscious efforts.

→ Cazimi : within 0 degrees 17 minutes of the Sun.

In traditional astrology, a Cazimi is considered extremely positive — as the planet is “in the Sun’s heart”. It's even said to acquire strong dignity.

A cazimi’s strength generally depends on how dignified the Sun is, & while other considerations such as a planet’s direction + speed are to be taken in consideration, it’s still an undeniable boost. It’s been likened to “a man who has been raised up to sit beside the king”.

→ Chariot :

An important mitigating factor against combustion/under the beams is when the the planet is said to be “in its chariot,” which simply put is when a planet is in a sign that it rules when its conjunction with the Sun occurs. The planet is basically in its home turf — as such, it is “protected” from being under the beams/combust & consequently has the strength to resist the Sun’s influence.

For example: if Venus was at 10° of Libra and the Sun was at 7° of Libra, Venus would be considered in its chariot. This is because Venus rules Libra, so despite the fact that it is presently combust — it’s protected by being in chariot.

→ I know you might be thinking “what if the Sun and the planet in question aren’t in the same sign, and the latter is dignified where it is (think Mars at 29° Scorpio & Sun at 1° Sagittarius) ? Does chariot still apply?” and to that I say: no two astrologers agree.

Personally, I don’t consider a planet to be Combust unless it and the Sun are in the same sign, but it is still Under The Beams & while I see Chariot as a mitigation — the planet is still invisible, so its range of action & embodiment of its significations is still very limited.
