Quote:

" Freeman is kind of attractive, he has beautiful eyes, but an awful nose " .

WHAT.....😱

I freakin love his nose!

I totally love a strong nose, no matter of men or women.

A characteristically strong nose is attractive.

At least for me,so I celebrate the Freeman nose .🤣

I started wondering if there were termites in Sunless Skies because termites digest cellulose, and went on a whole rabbit hole of fungi digestion, which turned out to be SUPER interesting.

There are two main types of fungi rot: Brown, and White although both function the same way overall. Brown rot focuses on cellulose and hemicellulose, particularly hemicellulose which it pulls Oxygen atoms off to form hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then breaks down cellulose into digestible sugars.

White rot though, breaks down cellulose and lignins. Lignins are essentially chains of alcohols, and act as the "glue" between cellulose plant "bricks", but they're harder to break down. The enzymes still attack cellulose to form hydrogen peroxide, but also use Lignin and Manganese Peroxidases which have metallic/polar component. When they break down the lignin into separate alcoholic non-polar molecules, they create a polar barrier to continue breaking down those alcohols further.

ANYWAY.

IF you have bronzewood trees in Sunless Skies, which have a metallic component in their cellulose/lignin structure, you'd need fascinatingly nasty fungi rot to break them down.

Or, alternatively, the protozoa in termites insomuch as I researched, only have the capability to break down cellulose into sugars. So there are no termites in Fallen London. UNLESS the termites are feeding on the Nasty Reach Fungi™ which feed on the bronzewood which the fungi decompose into fresh bronzewood metallic fodder. This is all to say that there are definitely anteater creatures in Sunless Skies.

Thank you for coming to my Sunless Skies ecology lecture~

STUPID SHIP MEME DRAWINGS.

I just think they should kiss maybe?

Obsessed (positive??) with the dynamic of guy who betrays his country so he can run off with the militia he's been working with because he gets a case of loyalty feelings so bad he goes and blows himself up X morally upstanding traumatic backstory woman having the worst fucking time of her life (again) who really just needs someone to be as fanatically loyal as possible to her, as a person who is really into the inherent eroticism of the hierarchical military power dynamic focus on loyalty and the use of "yes ma'am" as I love you.

Obsessed (negative) with the propaganda implications that we seem to have ignored of the fact that the three most important people in an arabic woman's life are 2 (two) white guys and her brother, who betrays her and becomes a villain in the later games, and the fucking insidious-ass narrative choice of placing one of said white guys in said militia as like, the tacit fact that this organization is ok only because the western white guys are cool with it. Stop introducing more ULF people just to kill them!!! I SEE YOU WRITERS!!! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!!!!!!

because, once again, the character dynamic? I am sick for it. He dropped a building on himself for her and then came back???? He came back???? He could have gone anywhere but he came back to her???? I'm unwell. I think I have covid. I need to go lie down.

Anyway my city now my characters now smashing them together like barbies watching that .gif of them staring at each other eighty times reading all the fanfiction goodbye

you shouldn't blow yourself up in the furnace I want to blow myself up in the furnace for you as my own personal choice and you should order me to do it because you're such a good leader what is wrong with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh *gnaws on furniture*

WE DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE HIM COME BACK TO HER. THANK YOU FIC WRITERS YOU KNOW THAT REUNION MUST BE SO ANGST THE COMPLEX DYNAMIC OF SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE AND MAKING IT OUT AND BACK TO THEM AGAIN!!!!!!! THE GUILT! THE YEARNING! THE LOYALTY! I AM GOING TO EXPLODE.

Chapter 2 — The Briefing

[incesthemes]

so okay. demon-human relations and logistics.

demonic possession transforms the host physiologically: the body is supernaturally fortified beyond pain and damage limits that humans couldn't typically endure (see: meg was still alive when the demon left her body in 1.22), the blood becomes corrupted and demonic in nature for so long as the demon is inside of the host (see: the nurse demon that sam drained in 4.22 went dormant inside her host body, but the blood was still demonic and sam was able to use it to power up)

demonic blood can be introduced into a human body via consumption, which induces psychic powers. the nature of the psychic powers seems to stem from innate demonic abilities, implying that there are some demons who, while unrepresented in canon, can see the future or control minds (at least i can't think of any demons who can do this, and the fandom wiki doesn't list these powers). other powers exhibited by the special children are represented by various other demons to some extent. (it's unknown and unexplored what the relation between demon-induced psychics and naturally born psychics are, though this is really something i'd love to think about more deeply.)

consuming more demon blood causes these powers to, allegedly, become stronger, though "accepting" the powers alone allows them to blossom on their own (the powers exhibited by sam in seasons 4/5 are incongruent with his powers in 1/2, hence allegedly. it's possible that the discrepancy between the seasons 1/2 powers and the seasons 4/5 powers have to do with the quality of blood sam is drinking: azazel is a prince of hell and therefore has a wider range of abilities, and sam consuming just a few drops of his blood would generate large enough amounts of power to tide him over 23 years; meanwhile, lower ranking demons have limited abilities, and so sam would need to consume more of their blood to achieve only a fraction of the power he got from azazel. just one theory to perhaps bridge the dissonance).

anyway, consuming a massive amount of blood causes the body to become demonic in nature, evidenced by the black sclera over sam's eyes in 4.22 when he kills lilith. the more demon blood that enters the body, the more demonic a person becomes.

which would imply then that it's possible to turn a human into a demon through consumption of demonic blood alone rather than the traditional centuries-of-torture-in-hell thing. season 8 also introduces the possibility for this demonization to be reversed: human blood replaces demon blood and thus humanizes the demon, in a perversion of the original concept.

this works conceptually in the way that demons are originally conceived as just corrupted human souls. this is of course contradicted by later retcons of the lore (8.02 specifically, and perhaps other episodes but i can't think of them at the moment), but the original lore allows this ebb and flow to work rather seamlessly: a corrupted soul can become uncorrupted, and an uncorrupted soul can become corrupted, all via the consumption or injection of blood containing the target physiology.

all this to say, it's reasonable within the show's own worldbuilding that dean could have saved sam and cured his whole demon blood thing by feeding him his own human blood.

debating if i want noah and alejandro to be full on enemies to lovers in this AU or if i wanna make them friends first

either way its gonna be a slowburn >:)

ive also decided that alejandro soooo falls first. he realises it when he gets irrationally pissed off after noah ignores his stupid fake flirting :3

noah also keeps his distrust more of a secret. hes smart! he knows that everyone else likes alejandro and being against someone so well liked just means bad news. he definitely makes it farther than london in this AU

maybe a noah and heather alliance :v

i STILL gotta come up with a name for the AU but i suck at naming things
