Biology Lessons

Curious in the first one Betty would view Archie's transactional adjustment as romantic flirting. It is certainly a weird lesson for Science class, and a cursory search online shows what is obvious -- this is in no way the case. The contradictory messages of our educational system move forth -- you are so very special and reach for the stars versus you are insignificant and need to remain firmly grounded.

Comparing the act of being hung up on your first same sex relationship to a drug addiction feels kind of familiar to me...

Ah yes.

It reminds me of that time when my civics class teacher told me dead in the eye that queer people didn't need rights or acceptance, they needed conversion therapy to manage their sinful urges.

Not saying the show did it on purpose, but carefully crafted story my ass. Good representation my ass.

Another page from the book of Lococology! This subject of INTERNAL ORGAN STRUCTURE.

⚠️CW‼️: Text book layout of INTERNAL ORGAN STRUCTURE. No gore or anything explicit; stuff you’d see in school books. More under the cut.

Quick Facts!

> Locos have two hearts a Major and Minor Chamber.

> Locos also posses two stomachs, a smaller stomach to soak food in highly acidic compounds then is transferred into the second stomach for absorption.

> Locos cannot go long without food or water due to their very active lifestyle and high metabolism that contribute to a body temperature upwards to 110 F (~43 C).

> Locos can eat a variety of things and are mainly considered omnivorous. However their main food source is Wood and Coal to maintain their carbon rich carapace (the outer shell that protects them) and to reinforce their bones.

> Diesel consuming Locos do better with their liquid fuel diet, but will occasionally indulge in solid foods.

> All Locos come in categorized sizes: Miniature, Narrow, Small, Standard, and Large.

> Locos disperse heat through the Dorsal Thermal Vent (DTV) located somewhere on their backs. The DTV is also called a funnel. The dispersion of body heat allows them to cool down as they cannot sweat. This gives the illusion of steam!

What if Serizawa accepted to be Shou’s legal guardian and they booth live in a fancy ex Claw house. Shou needed a legal guardian to attempt school and Serizawa wants to make it up to him for all the years he didn’t step up to his dad. Now they form this weird duo of this teen that knows more about life than his parental figure.

"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell."

Will stared at him. "What?"

Nico shuffled on his feet. "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell," he repeated. "That's some doctory stuff, right?"

Will laughed into his hand. "I'll explain more about it if you help me cut some gauze."

Nico agreed with a smile on his face.

Notes on food, fish, and translation errors.

Hán and Ankiusk are good friends, but during the time that they’re getting their medical certifications they’re both still learning the Galactic Standardized language. That combined with Ankiusk’s lack of a jaw to make the click (!) letter, there are a lot of communication issues.

And I mean… what do you call an alien animal in an alien language so that a third alien can relate it to yet another alien animal. Language may be evil but comparative xenobiology is even more so.

OKAY abt to go to sleep but i need to write this down before i forget. i think yeah all protoframes are some parts armor some parts their actual skin, but:

Personally, I think their helminth injection started in the spine, where it started to spread from there. So everything on their back (arthur, for example, has a lot of spinal protection, especially up against his cranium), a good portion of their legs, and some portions of their midsection and upper arms are actually their transformed skin.

it obviously varies here and there between each protoframe, but in spinal injections the effects could last much longer in the body (bypasses the liver directly, preventing second-pass metabolism).

Especially more effective since it has direct access to the entire body's nervous system, so I'm thinking its a spine-centered growth- even if there are good bits of human meat left on there, almost all if not all of their bones have been heavily fortified along with their general underlying muscle tone and strength.

this, then of course led to their development of warframe-adjacent athleticism and abilities. (Spine and legs having to be transformed for increased ability for bullet jumping, for example.)

OUGH i LIVE your abo stancest stuff….. esp your way of doing the anatomy regarding it?????? would you perhaps like to share more about that?:3

-🟢

OKAY SO--

Anatomy is pretty much standard for the first 13 years, human stuff. Then 14-15 it's typical for different behaviors to start appearing alongside body types to go with those behaviors. Actual changes to bodies depending on your future secondary gender is a myth, but increased oxytocin or adrenaline in a teenage hormone soup can affect behavior which affects body type. Not always, though, especially with Stan and Ford who are identical twins. 16 is the danger zone when presentation actually happens, which makes alphas and omegas both more sensitive to smells and depending on the social climate usually pushes them into a stereotype. The chemical soup doesn't calm down fully until you're like 30, the goal is to have settled down by then because estrous cycles start decreasing to like once a year instead of once a month (Stan would lie about being in his thirties to try to get jobs because young omegas and alphas both were considered unreliable and animalistic). 16 is also when knots and cervix-like tissue develop so there's just vague itchiness and discomfort, it's not fun but no one talks about it in the late 60s-early 70s so the boys just don't mention it. Also BITE MARKS AREN'T PERMANENT they last like a few weeks max they last as long as the wound does, Ford is dedicated to chomping on his brother frequently to keep it up.

ONTO THE GENITALS SITUATION WHICH IM GUESSJNG WAS THE POINT OF THE ASK SORRY FOR THE RANT--

Okay first off afab and amab have different operations for their secondary genders, knots are Just an amab thing, afab alphas have internal testicals and. I mean this in the kindest way they kind of fuck like birds. Still got the same rutting chemical soup but different How. Afab alphas can get pregnant but it's difficult and painful, they need the right setting to ovate and pregnancies are high risk.

Amab on the other hand is more classic a/b/o, they all get to keep their dicks, knot at the base of a penis, cervix tissue in the rectum creating discharge, bla bla bla, anyways you know that line on the taint? In omegas that is a pseudo-vulva. Kinda like how everyone has nipples, everyone's got that line, but omegas are born with it attached to the faintest hint of a uterus that develops attached to both that and the rectum. If a male omega gets pregnant (and that's a big if, it's dangerous for male omegas to get pregnant but they're expected to anyways because "if not then what are they for?") that line develops into a full vulva along with breasts developing, because despite my bird sex comment earlier it would be very dangerous for us to have fewer holes. Very strenuous, a lot can go wrong, should not be expected, but it is. Most postpartum amab omegas have both for about a year before the pseudo-vulva shrinks to its original size and the milk dries up. Male omegas can train to fit small things in their pseudo-vulva not postpartum but its kinda painful and with much fewer nerves than an actual vagina so pretty niche.

That parenting experience where you have to remind yourself that he's 10 and likely doesn't know why what he's saying is crappy and hurtful.
