The Binary Number System ...

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/binary-number-system/

"Binary Number System is a number system that is used to represent various numbers using only two symbols “0” and “1��. The word binary is derived from the word “bi” which means two. Hence, this number system is called Binary Number System. Thus, the binary number system is a system that has only two symbols."

There are generally various types of number systems and among them the four major ones are:

Binary Number System (Number system with Base 2)

Octal Number System (Number system with Base 8)

Decimal Number System (Number system with Base 10)

Hexadecimal Number System (Number system with Base 16)

When you add them, subtract them, divide them, multiply them, multiply them again, add them again, and then mix them together, X is born.

im doing the notes thing

I doubt it'll work but I have also witnessed the power of Tumblr so...

100 notes: I'll paint my nails the trans flag colors

200: I'll buy a nonbinary pride moth bracelet (skyebluez.com)

250: I'll also buy a classic pride bracelet (I know it's not a lot but it's kinda all I can afford)

500: I'll find a way to go out in public wearing all three

900: I'll talk to a friend that I suspect is a system about our DID

1000: I've been wanting to stream on twitch but am insanely anxious about it so if we hit this I'll do it at least once

1500: I'll have y'all recommend stuff and I'll make a poll

Love Me, or Not?

Satan sat alone, in a forest far, far away from the House of Lamentation. He sat slouching, his back against an oak tree for support, surrounded by ripped and torn roses. Hissed, aggressive, angry mutters left his lips.

“Love… Not… Love… Not…”

A small crowd of cats also sat on and around Satan’s lap. They peered up at what the Avatar of Wrath was doing; at his fingers, bloodied and cut from the roses’ thorns. With their feline stare immoveable, their eyes judged.

“They love me… Love me not. Love me… then love me not.” Satan continued to mutter, with increasing desperation. “Loves me… Not?! Not?!?!” He roared as the penultimate petal was plucked off, shifting into his demon form and clawing at the de-petaled rose until it was nothing but tatters of stem and leaves hidden amongst the blades of grass under him. The cats continued to stare, and judge, and stare.

“Are there really no other words in this stupid ritual?!” He growled, violently whipping his head around to find the book he had brought with him. ‘A Woman’s Guide to Romance’, written by a human in the 1800s. He frantically flicked to the relevant page, scanning the walls and fences of text to find something - anything - he had missed about how to do the ritual. Maybe a loophole to add on a petal? Maybe this book was too old? But in Satan’s mind, two-hundred years wasn’t all that long - so the writing inside must still hold up.

Or, at least, that’s what he had thought before he had gotten ‘loves me not’ on two-hundred of these stupid roses.

He hadn’t even heard of this game before you, even with all his reading up on the three realms. He had walked in on you gently picking off the petals of a daisy in the RAD courtyard and had approached you, inquiring as to what you were doing. His eyesight still got slightly blurry at the sight of you and his pact mark on foreign skin, the power of the pact still very fresh. It had only been a few weeks, after all. If anything, it was better for you to stay far away from him with such power - such wrath - under your control and yet… You had stayed. Calmly, as if teaching a child, you had explained the premise of the ritual, with Satan doing what he did best: learning. He had learned about how to do the ritual; that some do it for closure, and others for self-assurance; that you did it every time you had a crush.

He also had learned what your favourite flower was, and had briefly imagined him presenting you a bouquet. He had learned that your laughter reminded him of bell chimes, that your scent reminded him of his favourite tea and that your giggles reminded him of a cat’s purr.

And, after what seemed like hours of you talking and him listening, he hadlearned that he loved the way it felt to hear you talk with your head on his shoulder. He had learned he loved to look at your face when you talked. He had learned that he loved to look at your lips talking, pursed and pretty and so soft-looking -

… He had learned a lot that day.

He had learned you had a crush and had relished in your smile when, on your first try, your final petal had been ‘he loves me.’ Then he texted you later that day; and learned that your crush had five letters in his name.

Quickly, he had researched forests with an abundance of flowers and went to the one that would be the furthest away from the prying eyes of his brothers. If he could replicate your result, he’d have definite proof. Proof that it was okay to act on these feelings that have been eating away at him for so long.

But now, two-hundred destroyed flowers later, things were looking bleak.

As he looked down at the mess around him, Satan thought of you. As pretty and as delicate as a rose; as kind, strong and persevering as the flowers too beautiful to deserve a life in the Devildom, but continued to thrive regardless. You: the flower too beautiful to deserve the fate of being torn to shreds by the Avatar of Wrath, like the roses around him.

… Suddenly, a buzzing in his pocket.

He took a deep breath, seeing the message on his D.D.D was from you.

> heyyyyyyyyy, Satan <3

> hehe this cat looks like you hehe

A picture popped up of you snuggling up to a demon cat, not minding the its tiny horns pressing into your cheek. Instinctively, he reached up to lightly touch his own horns. His breath hitched. If you were alright with horns - with the monstrous side of him - then maybe…

Resolute, Satan stood up and dusted himself free of flower bits with one hand; using the other to type out a response.

> It looks adorable. Where are you? I’ll come see it in person.

He paused, before adding:

> I have something I need to tell you.

Why should he let the flowers decide whether you loved him not?

He could get the answer from you himself.

(another attempt at romance, and sappy romantic satan is always fun. there’s a brief reference to that chat where he asks who you would date and i was chortling because man that was bold asf, actual props to him. he strikes me as someone who would research and prep for all scenarios beforehand, then kick his feet like a teenager under the covers of his bed when mc responded.)

(English is not my first language, sorry if it's not clear😭😫)

I don't remember exactly in what order this was (if Ray first gives us his number and then Double calls MC or the other way around) but I'd like to know what would have happened if MC simply left town as soon as Double contacted them and, after a few days without them showing up at the cafe, Ray texts them and MC says "oh yeah, Im in the other side of the city lol" or something like that

Ray gives you his number first, like, literally in the scene before the Double call.

(Yes, I've pretty much memorized the whole VN, sue me)

But here's the funny thing- Ray doesn't have the MC's number. He gave them his number, but they don't call him until the alien attack/kidnapping, so there's no way for him to contact them... through traditional means. You know he can probably throw his weight around and get your number from some NAHA database, but then he has to figure out what his excuse for knowing your number would be. Because who could he get it from? Who could he even lie and say he got if from? Haley? Miles?

The only recourse Ray would have in that situation is to pack up- AGAIN- and go on another wild goose chase looking for you. And when he inevitably finds you again, probably on some rural homestead in Arkansas if you're smart (and you're not, obviously, seeing as you didn't even change your number when leaving Double), he'd have to come up with some excuse as to why he's there and... you know what? Fuck that. This is too confusing. He's just gonna kidnap you and take you to a secure bunker. It's easier to just wait for the Stokholm syndrome to kick in than keep track of all these lies.

To all the Portal fic writers/Chelldos fic writers out there.

If you want to write a fic where Chell doesn't/can't talk, but you want to have her able to communicate/communicate with GLaDOS in a way other than writing it down or using ASL, and you're willing to make Chell a nerd/give her some kind of programing/mathematical background, Chell could use binary.

You can count in binary/represent numbers in binary using your fingers, and the entire alphabet, plus a number of other symbols, has a standard binary representation. And these standard representations use either 8 or 6 total digits depending on the application, so Chell, with her 10 fingers would be fine.

She would have to spell each word out, and it would be far less efficient than sign language, but if you don't think she knew ASL because she wasn't mute pre-Aperture or maybe GLaDOS doesn't know it for whatever reason, but you do think Chell was a nerd, it's a viable alternative.

Going to college as a nontraditional student with an office job is kinda funny bc now when a professor messes things up in a way that fucks me over instead of being like "omg this authority figure is so unfair 😭" I'm approaching it more with the vibe of like "if Karen from Accounting doesn't fix this mistake that's hindering my work after my third passive aggressive email I'm going to CC her boss"

This is not related to anything sexual but I did find it interesting while we were talking about Mythal and Elgar'nan as parents figures to the elvhen. I find it interesting that when Solas could have had a chance between picking a more female body (mirroring Mythal) or a more male one (mirror Elgar'nan) that he chose to go with Elgar'nan given how close Solas was to Mythal. It is more to do with how Solas felt in a body (and how he eventually came to regret it) but I do find the choice an interesting one

unprompted but always accepting | existential edition

honest to god i've been thinking about this too. i think he probably chose to go male because he saw it as a complement to Mythal. I don't think it was in a 'im usurping Elgar'nan' kind of way, because as much as he grows to hate Elgar'nan he never wanted to be 'the Father' of the People or Mythal's lover/husband/toxic counterpart lol. I also don't think he hated Elgar'nan enough and was proud enough to be so petty as to be like 'well I'm taking a better male body so fuck him.' At most, he thought Elgar'nan lacked wisdom, but that was supposed to be Solas' job anyway. He didn't begrudge him that (at that point). The hatred festered the longer they were in bodies. If he'd taken a body after he became Pride, that would be a very different story lol.

Solas was always Mythal's "companion spirit", and he loved it. Together, they formed an effective and loving whole. They both brought different gifts and expertise to the table that worked so well together. In his mind, at least, they were two sides of the same coin. So to him, since Mythal took an unequivocally female body, he would take an unequivocally male body as a good counterpoint to her. That way, he can bring a different perspective that fits into how he viewed their relationship. In sum, to him they form a more complete picture if he's a complement rather than a 'copy', if that makes sense.

adding to this what @loredrinker articulated so beautifully: Without it having to be gender or binary, there is the spiritual aspects of masculine and feminine. They are companion spirits and would reflect opposites in order to be complementary as a whole. Ying and yang.
