I have two people in my head as soon as I have a pen in my hand

One is a 21st century kid who just wants to write the most unhinged shit.

The other is a 18th century dude who also wants to write unhinged shit but in fancy language and w philosophy thrown in

The best thing is:

I CAN FUCKIN SWITCH BETWEEN THEM HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHH

I have now truly lost my mind.

I made this post on a discord with my buddies, but I enjoyed writing this out so much it gets posted here too. Slight Locked Tomb spoilers ahead.

So! For those interested and in need of background, Gideon the Ninth is the first book in the Locked Tomb series. So far the plot follows two characters, Gideon and Harrow who are both of the Ninth house. Harrow has been called by the Necrolord supreme, the Ressurected Emperor (the setting of the Locked Tomb takes place in a weird, necromantic version of the 1000 year reign of the saints from revelation. It is unknown if the Emperor is Jesus himself or if merely a necromancer who stakes the claim to that misunderstood poem-prophesy) to become a Lyctor (a demigod saint of undeath, who leads humanity's expansion and dominion through the stars. Think a Primarch from Warhammer 40k and you're on the right path).

In order to do so they are summoned to the planet of the House of the First (the Emperor's personal house and definitely Earth) from the House of the Ninth (location of the eponymous Locked Tomb and definitely Pluto) With Harrow to undergo trials and Gideon to act as her bodyguard.

The place that they arrive in (as well as all other prospective future Lyctors) is a massive castle built as its own island in the ocean itself, if you need help visualizing, think an oil rig but instead of a massive industrial building its a castle that doubles as a surface-to-space landing station. This is Canaan House, (probable) palace of the Emperor himself.

Chapter 7 of the book devotes its entirety to the description of Canaan House as Gideon explores it out of intrigue. The first thing the reader learns is that even the most livable areas of the house have become subject to oceanic decay; the air is usually humid, stuffy, and mold can grow nearly everywhere. Just in the suite that Harrow and Gideon are staying in, their bathroom has cracked and broken walls, who's tiled floor has patches of mold growing in the corner.

The great dining hall that is open for all of the teams from the houses to use has an immense glass roof, it now has netting underneath the roof so that birds don't get into the hall via the person-sized holes in the glass. Terraces have crumbled, gardens have wilted, and seaweed has grown in the lower sections of the castle proper. It's described both as a place that's too big and too dense: each door leads to another chamber, and stairwells cleverly loop back to previous rooms for expedient travel.

Some entire paths have been consumed by the ocean itself. Gideon finds a walkway which was intended to be pleasantly below or near the sea level, only now its tiles have been completely covered with seaweed to the extent that they look like little heads of hair swaying under the water.

Doors have rotted away so much that one might "Voyeuristically look through their nakedness to the rooms they didn't hide," immense swimming pools have turned green with mold, and training rooms have merely rusted away.

The book paints this slow, creeping change as inevitability rather than evil; there are no signs of struggle, no signs of battle, no marks of violence. The house is simply being eroded away by ocean and time.

This isn't to say that Canaan House isn't magnificent -- it most certainly still is -- but the rot and decay brought on by time and the ocean have given a new form to it's splendor, one which is appropriate for a place enhabited by old priests and skeleton-automata.

How fitting then, that the dreary and embittered Tomb-Cultists of the Ninth House find it so awe-inspiring.

LK-99 SUPERCONDUCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!

SO FUCKING HYPED. The LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) simulations show LK-99 (not 100% proof, but damn good evidence) is actually for real a superconductor. This, along with their showing that it only acts as a superconductor with the copper in an energetically unfavorable (high energy) position explains basically all the failures to reproduce and why the people who did have success (like Iris and the chinese labs that showed some weak levitation) did not have results that look as impressive as we'd usually see from more conventional superconductors. Anyway, thank you so much to Iris because she's the most based researcher i know of working on this. Also, i know that it's not a totally settled issue, but the evidence in favor of it is so much stronger than the evidence to the contrary IMO.

Okay, so, i got distracted for like 3 hours after writing this, but still very hyped. Looking forward to new methods of production, so once i move into college i'll probably try to work on a new synthesis of it, but real quick, what do y'all think of me trying to (with no experience, kinda just educated shots in the dark) make another material that uses the same doping technique? That is to say (more descriptively) attempting to make a hexagonal, potentially just apatite again, mineral that has one of its metal ions replaced with something else that forces the hexagons to expand or contract (hopefully making a superconductor (but like, very low odds))
