Houseki no Kuni Sunday 2

Previous HNK Sunday |

MAJOR spoilers for episode 5-8 of Houseki no Kuni

So this time around I went ahead and made notes for each episode that I watched.

I am loving this season so much tbh, though a mutual keeps telling me that that its gonna get divisive way later. Honestly can't wait then

Episode 5

-Phos be needing a lot of help, like oof These people out here needing to fucking scrape them out of a shell, and now they gotta search a whole continent and ocean for them

-youz really a bitch for all of this Ventricosus And right as I was typing this she got her arm blown off, breh

-What did those Lunarians think they were going to do with their little pointy fire sticks on a giant ass snail monster??? I like the tendency of goons to just be stupid in most media lol

-Come on Cinnabar, they just came to you literally missing half off their body:(

(Story in 3 parts) -At least Kongo cares enough that even though Phos is practically useless, they still send out a team to find them. -Ok, I spoke too soon. He ready to kill a bitch -NOOOOOOO KONGO, DON’T TAKE THEM ENCYCLOPEDIA

-They is Ship of Theseusing this Gem, WTH -Poor Jade:( All of Phos's memories of them used to be stored neatly in their left ankle😔

-Them got zebra legs now lol

-FAST AS FUCC BOOOIIII

Other notes: So I was thinking more about Phos getting Ship of Theseus'd. This could be such a good message for, like, how much of yourself are you willing to get rid of just to fit in? To where you're nothing like who you originally were

Episode 6

-They still Nyoomin

-Yellow Diamond having their “What am I fighting for” crisis

-Lol, can’t believe they did Phos like that lol. Phos: “I like you, Sensei:)” Everyone else: D: Yellow Diamond:

-Oh no, they said Kongo’s trigger word: Humans

-Amethyst be like: Come play with us(:

-OMG, I love the Amethysts so much!

-.... (( <- reaction of somebody who always speaks too soon))

Other notes: Fr, Bort had every right to be mad en mi opinión

Episode 7

-Ok, phew, I’m so glad the Amethysts are ok

-They is hibernate

-They is dressed for the occasion

((Side note that I like this manga panel of the scene better))

((Bort does NOT have the patience for this shit))

-Ok, this is just so cozy of an episode

-Antarcticite getting a hug from sensei. My heart🥺

-OMG, Phos trudging through the snow is just me I relate to them more than I like to admit

-I feel there’s something more ominous about the Ice Screech

-Phos: “Have we tried reasoning with the Ice?”

-”The Ice speaks to me and tells me to do terrible things”

-Phos try to keep your limbs challenge, literally impossible

Other notes: Building off of what I mentioned earlier

Episode 8

-The Ice their greatest opp in this episode.

-I don’t think Kongo’s poor gem heart can take much more of this. Bro, just showed up with two entire arms missing. Imagine every time you let your kid out of your sight, they just show up with their skull bashed in

-Kongo comforting Antarcticite is what I needed today

-Giiirl, you are glittering No, like girl, the gold is taking over your body

-Phos: “Well I’m glad you’re alrigh-” Antarcticite: 🫠

-OH SHIT ANTARCTICITE IS STILL LOCKED IN🤫🧏‍♂️

-😭

((Side note, this would go so hard as a tattoo))

-Goddamn, didn't know this story was written by Gege. Fucking getting me attached to a character just to yank them away from me so soon😡

Ong tho, even though I'm so pissed at the anime for doing me like this, I'm still having such a fun time watching. Can't wait for the next HNK Sunday, and get ready for me to be obnoxious about a few Gem OCs I'm cooking

Hello! I was reading one of your HNK theory posts and saw you say Jade was "not really Jade" I love your rambles on geology, so is there a reason you say that? Are they actually a different rock? :D

Good morning Anon! Tricky question you got here, hehe!

I said it because “Jade” is not an actual mineral, but a general name for commercial purposes! No mineral is called “Jade”, but at the same time MANY minerals and rocks could be “Jades”!

Im gonna give a LOONG explanation so i’d better put everyting under the cut.

The commercial “Jade” may be different minerals and rocks, mostly from the Pyroxene mineral group.

Usually, the “jade” is a mix of different minerals, and it’s sometimes called “jadetite”. It’s a metamorphic rock (meaning it’s more minerals fused together at high temperatures, much like Lapis Lazuli). The most common minerals inside “jade jadetite” its mostly Jadeite, others can be Nephrite, Kosmochlor, Serpentine and Omphacite.

-----------

the most common “cheap substitute” to jade is Nephrite, with an hardness of 6 and the typical toughness and deep green colour for what is known the jade gemstone. So, when you go buy a “jade”, it’s usually this mineral! Nephrite, too, is not a “real” mineral but more a “mix” between two, Actinolite and Tremolite.

--------------------------

Then there is the rare Jadeite, discovered later than Nephrite, with many colours, harder but more brittle. It’s a Pyroxene mineral.

-------------------------------------

Kosmochlor is a mineral very similiar to Jadeite and to what “jade” would look like- very green and tough, but it’s too rare to be used in jewelry usually. But when it does, it can be selled as “Jade”. This is also a Pyroxene mineral.

------------------------

Omphacite is a Pyroxene mineral too, and it’s green and tough too, and can be selled and used as a “jade” not actually being a “jade”. But what’s a jade anyway? It’s all so confused.

----------------------------------

Back to the manga character Jade, the only proves i can find to know what mineral is Jade is from the  chart from the show.

The hardness is 7 (none of the ones above are 7 in hardness) and the formula is  NaAlSi2O6  , that corresponds to a variety of Jadeite called “Soda-Jadeite” or “pure Jadeite”. So our Jade could be a variety of Jadeite, since we learned today that there is no actual “jade”!

hnk characters as stuff I see while stargazing

I’m still taking a break from this series, but this particular shitpost has been sitting pretty on my hard drive for a few months now, and people seemed to like birdseki no kuni, so I think I shall publish it.  For the sake of my stress levels, please avoid posting spoilers in the tags.

Phosphophyllite:

Eta Carinae.  Can’t decide whether to be one of the brightest stars in the sky, or completely invisible to the naked eye.  Covered in dark clouds.  A mess.  About two minutes from going supernova.

Antarcticite:

The Perseid meteor shower.  Really cool, but you only have like half a month to get to know it before it’s gone.

Cinnabar:

Lunar eclipse.  Red, edgy, and emo; makes a statement.

Cairngorm:

Shaula and Lesath, aka the Cat’s Eyes asterism in Scorpius.   Stares at you with disapproval bordering on contempt.

Padparadscha:

Venus.  Bright and beautiful.  Light of my life.  But it’s only up for a few hours at a time 

Ghost Quartz:

The Milky Way.  Reticent and shy.  Always there, but only visible in ideal lighting conditions.  Quite pleasant when it decides to show itself

Diamond:

Canopus.  Flashy…  But only second best!

Kongou:

Polaris.  Everything revolves around him whether he wants it to or not.

Rutile:

Cetus.  Oh god, it’s going to eat me!

Yellow Diamond:

Virgo.  Just wants to lie down and take a nap.

Bort:

Orion.  Swole and overbearing.  Always waving a weapon around.

Lapis Lazuli:

Hale-Bopp.  you missed it because you were three years old when it passed by.  The Gen Xers in your local amateur astronomy club talk about what a profound impact it had on their lives, but you’ve never seen it, and you never will.  You are quietly bitter about this.

Alexandrite:

Auriga.  Both have goblin energy—Alex because they are a turbo nerd, Auriga because it looks like a garden gnome.

Amethyst:

Mizar and Alcor.  Baby’s first binary stars.

Euclase:

Summer Triangle.  Always watching over you, (unless it’s winter.)  It’s up to you to decide whether or not this is a good thing.

Jade:

Big Dipper.  Basic.

Benitoite:

Cassiopeia.  Also basic, but less stands out much less.

Neptunite:

Lynx.  Hard to see.  Skulks around showing only its back.  What is it up to?  What is it thinking about?  You’ll never know.

Zircon:

Canis Minor.  Small and has no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress it’s under.  Follows Orion around.

Red Beryl:

Corona Borealis.  Elegant and fashionable.

Ventricosus:

Arcturus.  This star holds a special place in my heart for being the first non-basic star I identified without the help of a chart, at the tender age of eleven.  Ventricosus also holds a special place in my heart because she’s great.

Variegatus:

Pleiades.  A breath of fresh air when you’re feeling down, just like chapter fifty one.

Barbata:

Lepus.  Lowkey, but pretty likable.

Cicada:

Delphinus.  Very cute.  Shaped like a friend.

Aechmea:

Full moon.  A nuisance that makes stargazing more difficult. You wish it would just go away but it has a knack for showing up in every chapter.

T R A G I C  E N D I N G:

The Andromeda Galaxy.  Not quite here yet, but careening towards us at 68 miles per second.
