Couldn’t Help But Think Of Luca When I Saw These XD

[CHEMISTRY NERD ACTIVATED]

Ok ok ok, so there's two different colors of fire here right- we got blue-orange and sparky green... I think there might be red? But predominantly it's the sparky green and the blue-orange flames.

So green flames with the lil sparky bits in my experience is a result of copper being set on fire, so they're probably a result of the "beyblades" scraping against each other and the surface and loosening bits of copper, maybe rust too.

The blue-orange flames are probably a result of the alcohol or oil that the person put down on the surface originally.

And if there are red flames in there (on second watch I don't think so, it might just be a bunch of orange), a bunch of elements can give off red flames... the one that I'm most familiar with is strontium, but I don't think that fits in this scenario.

Turns out that when you set certain elements on fire, the heat from the flames gives the atoms some extra energy, which excites their electrons (makes them move faster), and they can jump to a higher orbital. Once the electrons calm down and go back to their normal state, they release photons (light particles). The energy that they need to release to get back to their normal orbital corresponds to specific wavelength of light, which results in the colors we see-

I think that's how the concept works, flame tests were one of my favorite experiments to do. Ah- yeah that's my nerd rant of the day-

Beyblade heavyweight division

Psst.

If I may offer,,,

*leans in* *pads over to look over your shoulder*

Thank you, lovelyyyyyy~ *runs to binge*

(Your art is absolutely amazing btw, I freaking ADORE the Nem and Mitch animation 😭🙏🏾🫶🏾🖤)

Nerd rant:

My favorite fact about Andrew is that cilantro tastes like soap to him- it's actually caused by genetic variations in certain people. Their receptors are super sensitive which causes them to be able to detect chemicals that give off that flavor.

(Forgive me, Mom's a chef and I'm studying to become a geneticist lol... she told me this a few years ago and I went down a whole rabbithole to learn more. Hearing that about Andrew made me laugh a little.)

(For me, it's raw carrots that taste like soap, I have no idea if it's caused by the same thing.)

Soooooooo hahahaaaaaaaa…

I gravely misjudged how long 150 stitches would be with this yarn weight-

This went from “Ooh a cute tapestry pillow!” to “Frick this might just be a straight-up tapestry-“

I wonder if I’ll finish by the first deadline I gave myself lol-

Favorite Saku stream quirks:

Fluff? Who needs fluff, no we're here for the ANGST AND CRUMPET TEARS-

He's one of the Dunedain, praise, now I need to make an LOTR scarf too-

"'Are you British?' No I'm Australian, I've been lying to you this whole time."

"Aadsfljdfsl ENGLISH, I can't English today-" (when he misspeaks)

"B L E H -" (same as last one)

Him and Oxytocin going back and forth over Yandere Boy (I get into fandoms too freaking late, man)

"Oh Kimahri's meowing! Wassup!"

Reminding everyone to hydrate (thank you, because I don't drink ever)

"Omigosh, what are you doing, cat- hold one second- Kimahri, get off, PLEASE- GET THAT- come on, come on- move- bloody hell-"

"The American accent SUCKS- like your r's- ugh-" (my apologies sir ;-; XD)

Look at this gorgeous bastard

(So i changed his hair and expression because i was genuinely so unsatisfied with how it was looking)

Hi how tall is Bodie? Sorry if I mispronounce his name

... Um-

*rubs back of neck*

Yeah hun, definitely on a date... for sure... so um, sketch anything interesting lately-

Ok, ok, so I told my bestie about Gator Boys because the audio fixation is real and it's something I keep bringing up in chat- anyway I sent it to her and she's WATCHING it and I'm really hoping she likes it- also she's a HUGE animal nerd and she asked if I think the boys can bellow like actual gators (I said yes, I think they would-)

So I'm currently laughing at myself because I have two moods when it comes to audios- The first mood: *listening intently, reacting to certain parts, keeping track of details that intrigued me, questioning why something was said or wasn't said, why did THAT thing happen, why is that important*

The second mood: "HE'S SINGING ZOMBIE OMG HE'S SINGING ZOMBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND IT SOUNDS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

So it's either you won today's lottery and you have an actually competent, intelligent listener hearing your stories-

Or you got this rabid person on the other side of the screen that's absolutely ecstatic to hear one of her favorite songs. There's no in-between, I'm sorry.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY BELOVEDSSSSSSSSSSSS
