predators are more conflict-averse than prey - a herbivore can get into a territorial dispute, get gored by a horn, and spend the next while weakened but still easily able to regain its strength from grass and tubers or whatever. a hunter that gets scratched by prey it still manages to kill might not be able to get a kill afterwards, and slowly starve. an ambush predator will back down if you stare at it, but a plant-eater will try to kick you to death.

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

73 is a really cool number

yes i know sheldon had a whole thing about this but i need to tell someone about the insane properties it has

tldr: 73 is fucking amazing

for one it’s the only sheldon prime (emirp with mirror properties and binary palindrome) up to 10 million.

it’s integer complexity (how many 1s are needed to represent it using only addition and multiplication) is 13, another prime. it’s reverse, 31, is also prime and has a complexity of 11, a prime, and 13 has a complexity of 7, a prime. unfortunately 7’s complexity is 6, (1+1)(1+1+1)+1, and 11’s complexity is 8, (1+1)(1+1+1+1+1)+1. still cool tho

it’s also a palindrome in octal, which isn’t that surprising given that 1001001 can be written as 001001001, and each group of 3 digits in binary becomes one digit in octal. it’s a twin prime, with 71 also being prime, and it’s inverse, 17, being prime as well, and a twin prime with 19, it’s inverse being 91, also prime and twin prime with 89, though the trend stops there as 98 is even.

if you take 73 and reverse it then tack a one on the front before multiplying it with 73, it gives 10001, a palindromic number, with only 2 prime factors and 1 factorization.

it’s the only repeating prime in octal, 111 is 3 ones (i know, so shocking). another fun thing is that 73+21=47*2 and 37+12=47+2.

this is more of a language thing, but the number of symbols in its english name is 12, same as its inverse. another thing haunting the numbers 12, 21, 73, and 37 is that 3*37*7=777=21*37. 703 is the 37th triangular number. take divisors of 703 are 19 and 37.

the 73rd day of a non-leap year is pi day, and the 37th from last day of the year is the day lee harvey oswald died.

73 is the number of books in the bible. it’s greek representation is og, which is definitely a coincidence, but so is all of this. anyway, og often stands for original, used as a positive expression for something.

the number 1 above 73 (74) is double 37, and the 21st semiprime, there’s that 21 again. i could go on and on about how many 7s and 3s and 1s and 2s there are related to these numbers, but i’m getting bored of writing. i’m just gonna tag one person for this @janmisali, you would like this
