[starcurtain]

i am soooo sorry if you’ve already been asked this. however, do you have any ratiorine fics you’d recommended??? i haven’t been that intrigued by aventurine’s characterisation in a lot of the ones ive read and was wondering if there are any you have particularly enjoyed, as someone who understands him so well 👍 if not no worriesss

Someone else asked this earlier as well, and I started trying to put together a list of recs, but I struggled so badly because even though I leave kudos or comments, I virtually never remember to bookmark fics, so there's all these fics whose plots or writing I remember as being great, but... what were the titles... I always flounder to find fics again anytime I want to try to make a list of recommendations. (There's also the fact that even if I post a ton about analyzing characterization in canon, my standards for fanfics are... not that high. I'm definitely the "read whatever I see that day" type. 😂)

But here are just a few I could remember, and maybe I can come back and add more to the list later:

Ratiorine Fic Recs

Nagare's "deal with me" - An AU about wish-granting witches that captures the experience of Aventurine being cursed/blessed very well, in my opinion.

Chashmish's "On the Circumvention of Ethics" - I think this is probably exactly what Aventurine would do in canon, post-Penacony.

JMGAngel's "Friendship and Other Related Disasters" - The ratiorine is actually just background in this one, but since you mentioned Aventurine, I really appreciated this fic taking time to include interactions between Aventurine and other characters which I haven't seen much (if ever) in other fics.

vahveroinen's "Open Circuits" - I was a big fan of the "Rota Fortunae" short, so a RF AU fic is also a treat. After this, I feel like a lot of the Ratiorine fics I enjoyed are already really popular, so I'm not sure I need to recommend them even, but I did also enjoy these:

Irisinally's "Of broken nightmares and rotten memories" - A very cool AU scenario with interesting world-building.

katraa's "fermat's last theorem" - Even if you see the plot twist coming, it's a great reveal.

profligate's "a dissertation on affection as a logical locus, by Dr. Veritas Ratio, Ph.D." - Another interesting AU, and I appreciate that the author allowed Aventurine to both do his job and do something good.

greenery_0's "the appeal of domesticity" - For when you want something really light-hearted and cute. To finish off this post, I also want to take the time to plug two Ratiorine fics that were inspired by Ratiorine posts I made! Please go send these guys some love for taking their time to write things inspired by my silly Ratiorine ramblings!

Thetinir's "Apex predator" - AU playing on Ratio and Aventurine's alien biology.

Suidice's "Work-life Imbalance" - Internal IPC messages tracking the evolution of Ratio and Aventurine's partnership.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE?

The majority of individuals are aware that regular exercise is beneficial to their health, but less is known about the specifics.

Some individuals just use exercise to improve their physical appearance, which can sap their desire and consistency. While having aesthetic objectives is OK, taking a more comprehensive approach to fitness might help you stay motivated to be active and enjoy the health benefits of regular exercise. 

The NHS advises adults to be active every day and strive for at least 150 minutes of physical exercise each week through various activities to keep healthy. But any kind of exercise, even ten minutes a day, will help you feel better, so start small and increase your physical activity wherever you can.

What are the health benefits of exercise?

Here are just a few of the many incredible benefits from living an active lifestyle:

Improved heart and circulatory health:

There are several ways that regular exercise might lower your risk of heart and circulation disorders.

It accomplishes this, among other things, by enhancing the muscles' capacity to get oxygen from the blood more efficiently. This lowers blood pressure since your heart needs less effort to circulate blood around the body swiftly. Moreover, you can prevent heart attacks and conditions like high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart attacks by strengthening your heart and enhancing your circulation. Improved insulin resistance from exercise can aid in the reversal of type 2 diabetes.

2. Stronger muscles, bones, and joints:

Exercise strengthens all of the tissues in your body, something you may already be aware of given that it can help you develop bigger, stronger muscles. Frequent exercise creates strong, flexible muscles, increases bone density, and improves joint function and range of motion—all of which help to prevent injury as we age.

3. Weight control:

Although BMI and weight aren't the only factors that determine health, most people are at their healthiest when they have a healthy balance of muscle and fat. Studies reveal that being underweight can result in problems like osteoporosis, infertility, malnutrition, and a weakened immune system, while obesity can raise the risk of many diseases, including heart disease and osteoarthritis, as well as other physical impairments like joint discomfort.

In addition to improving your diet, exercise can help you control your weight and achieve a more muscular or fat-free body composition.

4. Better mood and stress management:

One excellent strategy for enhancing mental health is exercise. Exercise causes the body to create endorphins, sometimes known as happy hormones, which are molecules that improve mood. Exercise also releases endorphins, which the body naturally releases in reaction to stress or pain to help reduce these symptoms and elevate mood. For this reason, exercise is an excellent coping mechanism for stress or low mood.

5. Increased energy:

Your energy levels can be raised by exercise in the short and long term. Energy levels can benefit immediately after exercise since exercise causes the body to release endorphins and enhances the passage of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and brain. Over time, physical activity contributes to the production of more energy by the body and increases endurance, which reduces exhaustion from daily duties.

6. Better brain function:

Exercise has been linked to improved brain function, learning, and memory in numerous scientific research on the subject of cognition and exercise. This can happen both directly and indirectly. Directly, it can happen when the brain receives more oxygen and when a hormone called irisin is released, which affects the area of the brain that regulates learning. Anytime you find it difficult to focus or process information, a quick workout will help!

7. A better night's sleep:

Having trouble falling asleep? You can treat insomnia and increase both the quantity and quality of your sleep with exercise. Consistently receiving enough sleep has countless advantages, such as increased energy, enhanced focus, better hormone balance between appetite and fullness, decreased inflammation, and enhanced immune system performance. Improving your sleep can have a significant impact on your daily mood, even in the absence of exercise's other health advantages!

8. Staying sociable:

Yes, there are health benefits to being sociable! Research indicates that social isolation and loneliness are associated with increased risks of several mental and physical health issues, including depression, hypertension, and heart disease, especially as we age.

Maintaining your physical fitness is a great method to improve your social life in addition to your physical health. There will be a vibrant fitness community you can join, regardless of your interests in running, circuit training, hiking, cycling, or hitting your personal best on the squat rack. Joining a running club or wellness group can help people meet lifelong friends, and fitness courses are a fantastic place to start. Exercise groups can be a great way to make new friends, meet people in a new place, or just widen your current circle of acquaintances if you're feeling lonely.

These are only a handful of the many amazing health advantages of regular exercise; other advantages include a lower chance of cancer, more flexibility and mobility, better sex life, and a longer life span.

Bana defalarca sordun, “Benden korkuyor musun?” diye. Ben senden hiç korkmadım. İlk tanıştığımız günden beri bir kere bile senden korkmadım. Ama hep senin benden çok daha acı çektiğini, ruhunun benimkinden çok daha yaralı olduğunu hissettim. Böyle hissetmekten kendimi alamadım.

Ne tuhaf, değil mi? Sen benden hem daha akıllısın, hem daha irisin hem de daha güçlüsün. Yine de… Ben hep seni korumam gerektiğini hissettim.

Ama acaba seni neye karşı korumak istedim?

Galiba seni kendi kaderinden korumak istedim. Seni adeta sel gibi önüne katıp sürükleyen kaderinden.

Tekrar söylüyorum. Kaderini değiştirebilirsin,

Yalnız değilsin. Ben yanındayım. Ruhum daima seninle.

...Ama sana “sayonara” demeyeceğim. Aramıza ne kadar mesafe girerse girsin bir gün mutlaka tekrar karşılaşacağız.

ザムザ / Samsa - Teniwoha

Metamorphosis never made any sense to me. If my son turned into a giant beetle I would like him more, personally. Sorry to the Samsas but I'm built diff

I take the kitschy rubi, and wield it, so daringly,  onto the very same, my own worn-out name What I’ve become, down to the core, is oh so terrifying  that it would be child’s play to beat out the upper caste How do I look to you as I am, honestly? Aren’t I unsightly? Well, obviously

“I beg you, don’t throw apples at me - no, please,” They’re gonna lock up, lock up Samsa

Somebody whispering, ‘look into the mirror,” if e-  verything works out, then we all of us feast There isn’t any word of kindness nor a smile can help -  if I break into a run, then I'm already a beast I’ve been wondering 'bout it underneath the moon,  Wandering about the whole night through “Which one of my fingers should I offer up to my nightmares, do you think?”

Beating, beating, beating (beating, beating, beating) Bleeding, bleeding, bleeding (bleeding, bleeding) Beating, beating, beating (beating, beating, beating) Beating, beating, bleeding

Time for change…

Everybody’s soul just only barely makes it Beating, beating, beating, By painful hurt, wranglers, been ate-tate-tuh-rate away And still, I wonder why it keeps on going -  Beating-beating-beating on; All of them drag their tacky tail behind them, Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa Don’t tell me that you’ve given up the real world on me, Samsa Oh yeah

“Beating, beating, beating” Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

To them, say, “I disappointed you,  sorry about all of your standards I couldn’t live up to.” Craving even a negated smile, I’m behaving like a human being, though I’m nothing but a shade In the end, I didn’t do a thing except acknowledge my whining Y’don’t say, when it comes to you, I couldn’t even get to properly fighting

Beating, beating, beating (beating, beating, beating) Bleeding, bleeding, bleeding (bleeding, bleeding) Beating, beating, beating (beating, beating, beating) Beating, beating, bleeding

Time for change…s that I’ll never, ever make!

It’s not a joke to me, don’t chew my dreams up! Beating, beating, beating I turned my high-fashion gloom to a tu-tu-turu-tune Even if I’m gonna fade into a shadow Beating, beating, beating on - It will turn into, someday, a lovely song, ah, Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

Hey, one-and two-and three-and fly forth, Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa Every single thing, kick ‘em away, Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa Time not even worth being shown in the appendices At this point, if you cut out and run, then that’s what these passing days will truly be

Everybody’s soul just only barely makes it Beating, beating, beating, By painful hurt, wranglers, been ate-tate-tuh-rate away And still, I wonder why it keeps on going -  Beating-beating-beating on; (beating, beating) It’s as if you bit the apple, Sa-sa-Samsa

Even if I’m gonna fade into a shadow, I’ll stay by your side Never mind it if I’m poisoned by irisine The light is cutting through the dark, even now, at 1 AM Go along, drag that tacky tail behind you, Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa So don’t you dare tell me that you’ve given up the real world on me, Samsa! Okay?

“Beating, beating, beating...” Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

WAY TOO LONG sorry A/N: What kind of question is that. The middle finger, obviously.

I was not sure if this was possible for the longest time, it's been sitting in my drafts for months on end, but here it is. Let this be an inspiration, that if you work very hard and do a stupid number of revisions, you can turn completely unpronounceable lyrics, into only mostly unpronounceable lyrics. English phonotactics my enemy...

Irisine is a (apparently disused) synonym for iridin, one of the toxins produced by irises, including Iris japonica (fringed iris) per my google research. Look, it's the one that rhymed.

Tbh, I am still unclear on the phrase "否定形の笑顔". It seems that 否定形 means the grammatical negative form of a verb. So, "wanting even a non-smile?" Very cryptic. Not personally knowing anyone fluent in Japanese, in desperation, I began google-translating the YouTube comments to see if anyone said anything about this line. Instead of finding any clarity, I instead learned that several of the lines reference another literary work "The Moon Over the Mountain" (which I was only able to find a rough translation of online in... the BSD subreddit??) and also that there was EVEN MORE wordplay than I thought and I already knew there was. borderline (?) too much for an english version to be not cringe. Already at the end of my rope trying to preserve rhymes, I completely despaired of attempting to incorporate either of these facts, sorry to Teniwoha, who I know is reading this and shaking his head disappointedly.

Also I was going to tier Immiscible Discord (the event this song was commissioned for) on ensekai but then The Tone Played on that Day (baby kanade) came out and I just like that event much more (story, cards... cutoffs LOL). but I already upgraded my pure plants. just a little oopsie woopsie... surely I can get like a thousand seeds elsewhere

("alienation of workers under capitalism especially when their perceived usefulness is lost due to eg disability" going over my head as i look at metamorphosis by kafka) i am so serious that i would love and cherish my giant bug family member. i would never lock him in his room forever or throw an apple at him or stop him from listening to violin. i would feed him nice fruits. i would line his room and then put a mulch layer into it for digging and hollow logs for hiding. i would take him for walks to show off my epic giant beetle. i w

Sevgili masaya,

Sevinebilirsin laptopumu(tabii ki benim değil) üzerinde tuttuğum, şimdiden bile üzerinde bir çok şey yaptığım masum, ufak ama görünüşte biraz da karizmatik olan basit masa. Sevinebilirsin çünkü asla okuyamayacağın ve şuan yazmakta olduğum mektup tamamen sana! Hemen gururlanma, var olmak için aslında bana veya bir insana ihtiyaç duymasan da biz olmasak pek de bir önemin yok denebilir. Ama sakın bunu bir küçümseme olarak alma, ben sadece olanı söylüyorum. Kaba olabilir belki ama beni anlayacağını varsayıyorum, kısa bir süre de olsa birlikte güzel zamanlar geçirdik değil mi?

İnsanlardan bahsetmek benim gibi hayalci yürekli birisi için bir hayli kolay olsa da şimdilik konumun öznesi olarak özgürlüğüyle ün salmış olan bulutları seçiyorum. Öyle alelade bulutlardan bahsetmiyorum ha, bunlar beyaz olduğu kadar karanlıklar da. İncilden şu sözleri hatırlarsın(tabii hatırlamazsın çünkü okumadın), "Işık karanlıkta parlar.", işte bu sözlerdeki gibidir o bulutlar da. Bahsettiğim şeyi pek gerçek dışı da görme bence. Sonuçta sen bayağı büyük bir teras ve o terası çevreleyen devasa bir camdan duvarın hemen kenarındasın. Tabii gözlerin var diyemem, veya kulakların, ama sen beni dinle işte, öyle bulutlar değil bunlar. Zifiri denemeyecek olsa da siyah bir İstanbul göğünde gözle kolayca seçilebilecek bulutlar bunlar.

İster inan ister inanma sevgili masa, bu bulutlar bu saatte bile güzeller. Hatta inanır mısın? Bu saatlerde ayrı bir güzeller. Özgürlüğe olan düşkünlüğüm ile bağlantısız biçimde sadece var oldukları şu anın güzelliği bile yeterli aslında. Tabii özgürlüğün cazipliği de güzeldir ama şu zifiri bile olamayan kirli gibi puslu bir gökyüzüne bile anlam katabilecek ufak tefek, siyah olanlarının önünde seçilebilen beyaz bulutlar bunlar. Karanlıkta parlayan bir mum gibiler. Çevrelerini aydınlattıklarını hiç söyleyemem hatta görmek de aslında kolay sayılmaz ama işte, basitçe güzeller.

Hele bir de gecenin biri olmasına rağmen karanlık beklenen şu gök, İstanbul sebebiyle biraz kirli bir aydınlığa sahip olunca, puslu da olsa bir nebze görünür olan bu bulutlar estetik bir atmosfer de katıyor manzaraya. Ben binaları özellikle seviyor değilim. Aslında doğayı, onun sunduğu tabloları veya direkt o manzaraları tercih ederim ama günümüzde bu gerçek üstü gibi kalan bir manzaraya dönüşüyor. Bazı insanlar şu basit yaşamlarından kafalarını kaldırıp şehirden, içinde hapis oldukları şu kafeslerden bile uzanamayarak dışarıda ne var göremiyorlar. Biliyor musun, ben de çok farklı sayılmam. Ben de birer hapis ruhum onlar gibi ama o ormanları ve dağları, ağaçları özgüvenli biçimde gördüğümü de söyleyebilirim. Bunu böyle içi boş bir özgüven sanmayasın. Bilirim, bir masa olarak ormana dair birkaç şeye sahipsin. Odun parçaları gibi! Ama ya basit bir odun çiftliğinden geldiysen buraya? İşte bak bunu asla bilemezsin. Nereden mi biliyorum?(böyle sorular çok komik çünkü aslında cevaplayamayacağının bilincindeyim) Ben de nereden geldiğimi tam olarak bilmiyorum da ondan!

Bariz biçimde bir masa ve ben farklı şeyleriz kabul ediyorum. Yani bunları eş tutmak akıl karı bile değil ama ben soyut düşünebilen birisi olarak o benzerliği kurabilirim. Eminim sen şuan kuramasan bile günün birinde bunu başaracaksın. Pes etmemelisin sana yardım da ederim. Biz insanlar, evet ne üzücü ki geliyoruz ama hayattaki yerimizi tayin edemeden nereden geldiğimizi sorgulamak gibi bir lüksü olur da takip edersek çuvallıyoruz. Gülme öyle, bu baya üzücü aslında. Biliyorum, anne baba falan filan denir ama bu o kadar basit mi cidden? Sen bununla tatmin olur muydun? Nasıl yani bir ağaç parçası desem sen tatmin olacak değilsindir herhalde? Bende de benzer, başkalarında da öyledir. Yani gel gör ki üzücü bir yere varsa da(tamamen cevabı olmadığından) aslında güzel de bir soru denebilir. Nereden geldin acaba masa?

Markette, reyonlarda değildin bunu biliyoruz en azından. Kusura bakma ama o reyonlar için biraz fazla irisin. Alınmaca güvenmece yok, ben de bazı pantolonlara sığamıyorum diye ağlamıyorum sonuçta. Ama kabul edersin ki cinsiyetini asla öğrenemeyeceğim kahverengi ve odundan gelme gibi duran ama hiç de bu konuda güven vermeyen sen, bariz masa, ikimiz de o bulutlardan baya uzağız. Buna ikimiz de hemfikir olabiliriz bence, cevap vermek zorunda kalmadan emin olacağın tarzda bir şey bu. Biz onlar gibi, şu gece bile tüm bu rüzgarlı gecelere rağmen özgür olabilir miyiz sence? İkimiz farklarımızı konuşuyoruz(tamamen kendi başıma konuşuyorum) ama konu bulutlar olduğunda nasıl da ikimiz tek bir özne gibi bir araya geliyoruz değil mi? Bulutlar bize çok uzak!

Siyah atla beyaz iris arkadaşmış.

Van Gogh bu tabloyu akıl hastanesinde yattığı dönemde beyaz irisin diğer tüm irislerden ne kadar farklı olduğunu vurgulamak için yapmış. İnsan olarak ne kadar çok şeyde ortağız.

[dmiii9]

Bu kız bir şeyler karalayarak uykuya dalıyordu. Bir sokak lambası gözünü aldığında uyanıyordu, serin yine onu çekiyordu. Paslı hava usluydu, gri ve solgundu. Pencereden dışarıya baktığında İstanbul’un kirli gürültüsünde temiz ruhlar bulabileceğini zannediyordu, duyduğu o seslerde bir nahiflik arıyordu. Ama bilmediği bir şey vardı, o da bu şehrin sır gibi sakladığı bir yalandı; bir sokak ne kadar sessizse o kadar çıkmazdı. Kenara attığı çantasında bir şey ararken sinirleniyor ve çantayı fırlatıyordu, o sokaklarda aydınlık bir pencere arayıp bulamasa kafasını taşlara vurarak parçalardı.

Düşünüyordu ama düşünceler, satırlara sığmadığı gibi bir harita da çizmiyordu, “Evini ararken kaybolmak mümkün müydü? Ev neredeydi? Adresini zihnine mühürleyebilir miydi? Çürük çilekler, sadece mezarlıkların mahsülü müydü? Yoksa rengini ölü bir ruhun donmuş dudaklarına verdiği süs mü?”

Ev neredeydi bilmiyordu ve belki de hiç bilemeyecekti ama gözleri, kimsesizler mezarlığında kökünü arayacak kadar sevgi sarhoşu olmuş o çocuğun almes rengindeki dudaklarını yine arardı. Yine o pütürleri dişinin ucuyla sıyırırdı, midesi ekşimeden ve yıkama ihtiyacı duymazcasına yutardı.

“Siz, hiç birinin yaralarındaki dikiş izlerinin ardını merak ettiniz mi? Ben ettim, o yaraları hangi hanede aldığına kadar bilmek istedim. Nereyi evi bildiyse oraya kırmızı meyveler ekmeliydim.”

Ev bir insandı, çünkü ancak bu şekilde kalbi kor gibi yanan birinin gözleri kestane kahvesinden olabilirdi. Kül siyahı saçlar, ancak onun ruhunun bacasından tüten dumanlar gibi dağılabilirdi. Kalbiyle zihni arasındaki yolu bir türlü bulamıyordu, o adresi bir türlü çözemiyordu. Kalbinin neden hala bu denli sıcak olduğunu, neden saçlarına kıyacak kadar kırgın olduğunu; gözlerindeki irisin neden bu denli ateş saçtığını anlamıyordu. Anlasaydı bir ev olabileceğine de inanırdı, başka bir eve sahibelik yapabileceğine de.

How Do Ice Baths Burn Fat

Ice baths, also known as cold water therapy, are becoming increasingly popular as a way to reduce body fat and aid in weight loss. The science underlying cold therapy is based on thermogenic responses induced by exposure to cold surroundings. Shivering thermogenesis and non-shivering thermogenesis are two different responses that result in increased energy expenditure and calorie burn. Non-shivering thermogenesis activates brown adipose tissue (BAT), which burns white fat and helps in weight loss.

The activation of brown fat is crucial to how ice baths can aid in weight loss. Cold temperatures increase brown fat amount and oxidative metabolism, resulting in increased mitochondrial activity and metabolic rate. Regular exposure to cold water can significantly boost brown fat volume and metabolism.

Other effects of cold therapy include changes in metabolism and energy consumption. Cold temperatures boost the production of norepinephrine, a hormone that affects metabolism and fat use. Cold treatment can also cause the release of hormones such as irisin and FGF, which convert white fat cells into metabolically active brown fat cells, resulting in greater calorie burn.

Ice baths provide numerous weight-loss benefits. They boost caloric expenditure via thermogenesis processes, activate brown fat for enhanced fat burning, improve insulin sensitivity, and raise metabolic rate.

Mendadak Resep: Ayam Kukus

Pontianak. 13:35. 24092023.

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim.

Ayam kukus tuh sebenarnya ayam paling benar 😆 mudah dan kandungannya terkunci, ndak kabur kemana-mana. Kalau direbus bisa pindah ke kuahnya, digoreng apalagi (tapi enaaaaak ya ayam goreng). Maka sebenarnya dikukus aja kan? Tapi kalau dikukus penampakannya sering pucaaaaattttt 🥲 dulu bahkan saya pernah masak ayam kukus kok ya dagingnya agak keras. Ternyataaa rahasianya terjawab di resep ini.

Pijat-pijat ayam dengan kecap asin, saus tiram, garam, merica, minyak wijen (resepnya bilang gitu, tapi kayaknya sampai sekarang saya masih kurang akrab dengan rasa minyak wijen, agak langu-langu gimana gitu), daaaaan tepung maizena. Mungkin tepung maizena ini yang bikin ayamnya melunak.

Di resep ndak ada gula dan baput. Tapi rasanya ndak tenang juga kalau ndak dimasukkan ini berdua. Yauda baput saya parut. Diamkan sekitar 20 menit main hp.

Kukus sekitar 40 menit.

Resepnya nyuruh taroh irisan jahe dan daun bawang di atasnya sebelum dikukus. Tapi ya cuma punya jahe. Enaaak wangi.

Mestinya dimakan pakai chili oil, tapi yaudalah irisin rawit aja biar nda pucat.

Lain kali pakai serai kayaknya lebih seru ni.

Ada kuah kental dari adonan maizena yang dikukus.

Di foto saya pakai nasi yang ada aja, Mama lagi hobi masak beras banjar pakai kacang hijau, nyem enaaak alhamdulillaah. Taburin bawang putih biar kayak jago.

Salam,

ayuprissakartika.

Exercise-induced hormone irisin may reduce Alzheimer’s disease plaque in the brain

Researchers who previously developed the first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that displays two major hallmarks of the condition—the generation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—have now used their model to investigate whether the exercise-induced muscle hormone irisin affects amyloid beta pathology.
