i made a new (?) fractal today!

i call it the burning duck :3

v [explanation below!] v

i have no idea if anyone else has seen this before (someone probably has), but i think it's really cool!

this is somewhat of a halfway point between the mandelbrot set and the burning ship. the original burning ship fractal is the result of taking the mandelbrot set's equation ( z = z^2 + c; where z and c are complex numbers ), but using the absolute value of z instead ( z = |z|^2 + c ).

the result is this, a very pretty fractal that is quite well known:

while experimenting with my own fractal renderer i've been working on, i realized that i didn't have to absolutize the entirety of z. because it's a complex number, the real and imaginary portions are stored in separate variables, so i tried to see what happens if you only do one of them!

absolutizing the real half was very boring, it just mirrored the bottom half of the burning ship to the top. but the imaginary half created the duck!

visually, i think this is probably my favorite fractal! i am very surprised how unique it is to the burning ship despite being so closely related. here's a couple really pretty screenshots i took:

anyways thanks for reading this!!

My grown-ass coworkers were screwing around on Pokémon Go and one was flexing how he's level 36. I had to break it to them I'm level 41 (like 3x the xp of level 36).

Tomorrow I plan on bringing my offical pokemon go pin I got from an IRL event

Anyways my trainer code is:

IM GONNA HAVE A LITTLE NERD MOMENT!!

I love science. I love listening and reading science things. Because science just makes me so hopeful and human.

Like there is infinite possibilities and infinite timelines of everything and anything. And i get to be a little human, living my little life. I get to ride trains and look out at RAIN?! WATER FALLING FROM THE SKY?!?! Because science! Because a million different atoms and reactions happened that lead to this little life of mine.

And not only this, anything in the future could happen! Anything can happen! So why not take the risk of “what if it did happen?” Because for all we know that job that is super hard to get, or that opportunity or award you could win, or that pastry that you could cook really well could happen!!!

Science makes life so much cooler.

issue #50 got me fucked up

[somany-fandoms-solittle-time]

The downside of constant consumption is that I can't sit and process something for a couple days/weeks before I'm able to type out at a 20-some page analysis essay over Every Single Aspect..... And as much as I love video essays and miss the high of being able to rant for 3 hours to my friends about the Genius of my guilty Pleasure show or a random movie I watched 7 years ago

I am a literary detective and dissecting themes, symbols, motifs, overarching narrative and other shit™ makes me fucking Tee~Hee™

Me when the themes and motifs connect in my brain
