quick write-up on Q by Diao Ye Zong after a full listen of the album + the bonus content

(spoilers: it's really good. buy it)

I've skipped some of DYZ's releases in the last few years like Shirushi/Mukui/Atsume out of lack of interest, so it's very possible that I missed a hidden gem, but anyway I think Q is their best recent work. It's as good as Hohuri or △ imo (and Hohuri is like. my favorite DYZ and favorite doujin music album overall so.)

Agatha ChrisQ suddenly and completely disappears, shrouded in as much mystery as when she started releasing novels. The narrator sets out in search of the truth through 6 of ChrisQ's unpublished murder mysteries, each a reflection of their writer's feelings.

Q is a seed // Q is an outcome - Waiting to germinate into fantasy // Imposing the results of your ego on all.

It is, of course, a must-listen (or must-experience, rather, since it's not limited to music) for any Akyuu fan, but I'd also recommend it to fans of DiPP, Umineko specifically but mystery novels in general, and interactive fiction (there's branching endings). Oh and yuri. Akyuu/Kosuzu has been a fairly recurring pair in DYZ works (I can think of at least 5 songs off the top of my head, that's recurring to me lol) and this is no exception.

The album is gorgeous, jewel case and booklet and everything, all B&W with beautiful arabesques and elegant lettering and the occasional lines written in red. Hanadahyou's art is even more gorgeous than usual in the lyrics booklet (and if you've ever looked at a DYZ album you know the booklet is part of the experience)!! I love the small detail of the page with Akyuu's portrait, not the one with ChrisQ's, touching the page with the picture of Kosuzu and Akyuu as children...

The tracks are very good, pleasant to listen to from beginning to end (in my case there's just one I have a problem with because of the singer's voice... T_T lol). If I had to pick just one it'd be the Kosuzu song, Imaginary Friend (spoilers in the translator's notes), obviously everything in it makes me want to cry and scream and bash my head into a wall but ESPECIALLY the line where 'it was love at first sight' and 'I set upon you all my fantasies' are both said at the same time in the most beautiful wordplay I've seen in a while.. I also really like the Hieda servants' song (Murasaki Hotaru's voice <3) and the Reimu song is super fun (there is no way Reimu holding a knife next to Marisa's body in the booklet art isn't a nod to the reimari songs from Hohuri - and with the Birlstone Gambit theory referenced in the song itself, well...). But even then all the other tracks are interesting too. Very solid album.

And then there's the secret bonus content. I will only say that I love both choices very much but Imaginary Friend -> My Beloved Q did permanent damage to my heart <3 <3 <3 (suffering

ANYWAY, if any of this sounded intriguing to you then Q is absolutely worth the money! So go support the artists!! The regular version without the secret content will probably end up for free on spotify at some point (edit: it is now, including the last two secret tracks), but in my humble opinion it's one of those DYZ albums that are 1000% better if experienced with a real hardcopy of the CD because of how high-quality the product is, the gorgeous art, the bonus content etc... Personally I am never getting rid of my copy it's just SO beautiful.

making those posts compelled me to listen to dyz’s Wonderland Desacrilation (spotify link 0_o) (I also own this CD by the way!). first off, the name of the album itself is funny, and its main song is the best, the lyrics being all about Reimu annoyed at everyone forming connections with her and thinking about her (and falling in love with her), and then begrudgingly coming to accept it in her own violent way 😊

here's a fun game! what do women, young children, and elderly priests have in common? time sensitive question.

physical frailty is more common with higher amounts of estrogen and at very young or very old ages! it's not something entirely created out of people's fancies about society, which makes it have a lot more staying power than a completely objectively incorrect conception. that's why you should always go and say hi to them to make sure they're doing alright, of course. they might need a hand.

taking advantage of fictionalized truths is a very youkai-like thing to do. the tsuchigumo...

Oh look, a birthday gift! For Dyz, of her Pokemon trainer OC, Sebastian, but turned into a horse. I love getting to work on character concepts so designing this for her was a lot of fun. Am I late posting it because I frequently forget my Tumblr still exists? Absolutely. But the art was done in a day when she surprised her birthday on me so at least there's that 🤣

Reminder that: In octahedral coordination entities, the degeneracy of the d orbitals has been removed due to ligand electron-metal electron repulsions in the complex to yield three orbitals of lower energy, t2g set and two orbitals of higher energy, eg set.

This is because:

The

and

orbitals which point towards the axes along the direction of the ligand will experience more repulsion and will be raised in energy; and the dxy, dyz and dxz orbitals which are directed between the axes will be lowered in energy relative to the average energy in the spherical crystal field.

Crystal Field Theory

***Please note that this was the first post ever and spawned the name and idea for my other blog The Crystal Field where I write mini-essays on the things I'm learning to help me grasp them and maybe to share some cool things with someone who may read it. I have since moved that blog to its own page: https://www.tumblr.com/the-crystal-field

Crystal Field Theory is a model used in chemistry to describe the splitting of energy levels within the d or f orbitals of transition metal complexes, resulting from the strength of the splitting fields of various ligands attached to the central transition metal.

Depending on the coordination number and geometric structure of the compound, the orbital diagrams and thus the splitting of orbitals' energy levels takes different shapes. The shapes of these diagrams (and how valence electrons fill them) is directly linked to a variety of factors for each of the compounds they represent, including the electron spin situation, the metals' magnetism, or its general reactivity.

A transition metal complex is defined by a central metal atom bonded covalently to ligands (that can range from simple ions to more complex beasts). While "ligand" is a fleshy sort of name for some chemical vocabulary, there is nothing fleshy involved here.

All transition metal atoms have d-orbitals (the semi-geometric probability distributions of valence electron location that appear different dependent upon electron energy levels), and so I will focus on those for this explanation. Orbitals, of any atom, are used to describe where its electrons probably are. Electrons (which are negatively charged) occupy "higher" orbitals that are increasing in radius when they are at higher energies, as it takes more for them to resist the pull of the positively charged protons in the nucleus. These orbitals exist in a variety of "classes" as electron energy levels increase across the periodic table, filling s, p, and then d-orbitals. There are five d-orbitals that can hold two electrons each, and each orbital has its own "geometry" with "lobes" of probability:

Typically, when "filling" an electron orbital, one would follow Hund's Rules that stipulate one must fill each orbital with one electron filling any orbital with two electrons. This is because there is a degree of natural repulsion between any two electrons (pairing energy), a result of their negative charges. However, the ligands' valence electrons of transition metal complexes, dependent upon a strong splitting field strength, have the ability to be even more repulsive than the pairing energy of the d-orbitals, and force the electrons to "double up" in certain orbitals before filling the higher-energy orbitals. These high-energy orbitals align with the axes of the geometric structure of the compound, where the ligands' electrons will be facing toward the transition metal complex.

For example, referencing the image above, an octahedral transition metal complex would witness the dyz, dxz, and dxy orbitals fill before the dz^2 and dx^2-y^2 orbitals. This is because the latter two (the e(g) orbitals) are directly aligned towards the ligands attached to the axes of the central metal, while the former three (the t(2g) orbitals) are in-between. The alignment of the e(g) orbitals along the axes of the compound's geometry happens to place those electrons in the same region as that of the ligands'. This creates repulsion, and if the splitting field strength of the ligand is strong enough, the electrons will overcome Hund's rule and "double up" in the lower energy t(2g) orbitals before filling those e(g) orbitals.

The splitting diagrams differ between the octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar geometries. A tetrahedral splitting diagram is the inverse of octahedral, wherein 3 orbitals are in the elevated energy state and 2 remain "grounded", but when filling this orbital, one will follow Hund's rule in every case because the splitting field strength of all ligands is rendered moot; the delta-oct (energy difference between ground and elevated orbitals) is always small. The square planar splitting diagram will always be a d^8 diagram, often representing a 2+ Platinum transition metal complex. It resembles a phallic shape.

[cleverusername01]

why are tetrahedral and octahedral splitting so close yet so far. Both having a doubly degenerate set consisting of dz^2 and dx^2-y^2 and a triply degenerate set consisting of dxy, dxz, and dyz, both having one of those sets weakly antibonding, and one set functionally nonbonding except in cases of pi donation/acceptance. and yet so far. flipped, completely. tres magnifique
