Headcanon meme: Monomon the Teacher?

realistic: she can’t process oxygen from the air very well, and only can at all if the air is damp/humid. her mask is actually a breathing device. it has something resembling a cannula that goes under the epidermal layer of her bell to get oxygen to the rest of her body. also she can swim in + breathe acid no problem.

not necessarily realistic but funny: she still has no idea how gender works. her culture doesn’t have a sense of gender or even sex, and when she immigrated to hallownest she learned abt genders and was like “cool, i want one!” and transed her gender for the aesthetic appeal alone. she still doesn’t know what it means she just has fun with the concept.

heart-wrenching: based on the fact that she wrote “elegy for hallownest”, she bought in hard to the pale king’s propaganda. she immigrated to hallownest in search of a better life, and assumed that since she found success and safety in hallownest, that was true across the board. she changed her tune when she found out that the pure vessel was sentient/sapient and not hollow, that tpk knew that (or at least suspected) and was going ahead with the plan anyway, which spurs her “the seals must be broken” attitude in canon, and her use of quirrel as a contingency plan. she is haunted for the rest of her life, including in her dream, by the thought that she could have done more.

My Canon Now: quirrel is her ward; she took him in pretty young and essentially raised him from when he was a teenager. luckily for both of them, she never noticed that he has a crush the size of greenpath on her.

bonus ask: infodump about the most obscure math thing you can think of off the top of ur head

this isn’t obscure but it IS really cool

borsuk-ulam theorem, or “meterologist’s theorem”: if you look at earth, there are always two points across from each other (”antipodal”, think north and south poles) that have the same temperature/pressure/humidity/whatever you’re measuring, as long as whatever you’re measuring is continuous.

it has to do with the Intermediate Value Theorem. if you don’t know anything about calculus, it basically means “if i have a line between 1 and 5, somewhere on that line is a 4″. it’s one of those math theorems that’s feels A Bit Obvious but it’s important to establish ok. basically, if things don’t suddenly jump/teleport, we can say this.

okay, let’s get into the why! pick two points on earth, call em a and b. they’re opposite each other.

now move them along any path you like (as long as they stay antipodal) so that they get to the other point. the temperatures HAVE to cross, and that’s where they’re equal!

to put it another way, more mathematically: make a function f, where

f = the temp at a - the temp at b.

ignore my ms paint drawing of the earth and the fact that those AREN”T the north and south poles

the order here matters which you subtract. it flips to the negative when you’ve moved to the other point. now, f is a continuous function (we’re assuming the earth’s temperature doesn’t Suddenly Jump, so we can apply the IVT), so f hits every point in between 30 and -30 if you go between them like in the gif above.

so, when you look at f on one point, you’re positive. then you travel t the other point and check, and it’s negative. at some point there, it crossed zero! at that point, the temperatures were equal.

0 = temp of a - temp of b

temp of b = temp of a

now, if you do this infinitely many times, you end up with a band of points that have antipodal equal temperatures, because blah blah continuity, basically. if you do this same process with pressure, but this time only measuring on those points / following that band --

you’ll find a point with the same temp and pressure :)

crowley for the abcd ask game? :0

Headcanon A:  realistic

He doesn’t actually put his plants his the garbage disposal, instead he abandons them around London and if someone so happens to take one home, well, that’s out of his hands, now isn’t it?

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

eat dirt. well. i wouldn’t say having pica is super funny bc it’s actually really annoying and bad for your health if you give in to the compulsion if you’re human, but for a demon, shoveling ice chips and dirt into his mouth is just fine

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

honestly i think crowley generally is good at keeping a lid on it, but ultimately feels partially responsible for the mass tragedies of history and his long drinking binge when he discovered the spanish inquisition was not a one time thing

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

crowley is an avid follower of american comics and manga novels, absolutely relishes in the chaos of reboots and new storylines and the confusion of how to even get into reading superhero comics, and then the manga ones he really likes for the weird shit and touching storylines. absolutely will watch the anime if the manga gets adapted. (he re-watches fma:b and everytime maes dies he definitely doesn’t cry, angel, who do you think he is?)

I’ve got Oranguru and Escue, I’m pretty sure!

Well, that’d be a start. Can you check?

Hi I just wanted to say I'm fucking OBSESSED with the ask in your blog header. Thank you for this gift (/genuine) it will haunt me forever

djkhpiasjfja oh that was a post I made on my blog a while back. I reread that scene and I was like, “AREN’T THEY JUST PLAYING MARIO KART?”

for the fic ask: "hey, you see this minor character? the one who's in three (3) scenes? and has no characterization? It's Free Real Estate, And I'm Building An Accessible Synagogue There"

And What About It

[auroral-melody]

fmk the three NuWho Masters

- fuck: hmmmm i want to say missy but. it’s going to be dhawan!master. because he is HOT. and i die whenever i see his forearms. i’m GAY. god he’s so fucking pretty. i want to top him

- marry: wanted to say dhawan bc i’m hyperfixing but lbr i would immediately be killed! :) so we’re going to go with missy here because i would like to live. we will banter and also do evil science

- kill: simm!master. no hesitation on that one

i just have to say that simm!master reads at the straightest to me, + i’m not really into him, + he is the master that genuinely unnerves me. he’s way too?? like?? unhinged in a scary way??? the other masters are scary in a sexy or dignified way but he just has no sense of Honor? idk man. twissy got me into best enemies, not tensimm.
