#i have got to get normaler

[mosscreeper-ao3]

Okay I know how much this fandom loves the “galra have an insane alcohol tolerance” bit, but they logically would have a very poor tolerance.

Humans and other animals with a tolerance for alcohol evolved it to eat rotting (specifically fermented) fruit without getting poisoned. Humans in particular evolved it as large swaths of our original range in Africa became desert and savanna. Food was less abundant so we evolved to eat what nothing else would. Humans are also weird in that we’re true omnivores* (a lot of the animals you think of as omnivores actually lean pretty heavily in one direction or another).

Galra, on the other hand, appear to be entirely predatory. Everything about their biology suggests they’re either carnivores or heavily carnivore leaning omnivores. All this to say, galra biology suggests they never would have undergone the evolutionary pressure to develop a tolerance for alcohol and are total light weights.

All this to say, I think the idea of Keith taking a single shot of whiskey and it putting him on the floor is much funnier than him being able to drink everyone under the table.

*most other true omnivores are scavengers like crows and opossums, not active hunters like humans are. Just another way we are absolute freaks of nature.

I am good at doing one thing in excess. My brain is just geared that way. It’s not obsession or fixation, it’s just dogged devotion. I find a thing and I do it, rain or shine, whether I like it or not, over and over and over and over.

These days I walk. Miles and miles and miles, of sidewalks and park trails. I walk an average of ten miles a day, sometimes it’s four and sometimes it’s fifteen. Tennis shoes on concrete, I’m not getting anywhere but at least I’m going.

It’s one of those things that throws healthy, normal, well-adjusted people off when I meet them. Red flag behavior, if you will. My ratios are off, I do different normal things in excess or not at all instead of in the correct amounts. But walking is benign, it hurts no one, and it literally keeps me out of trouble, so I walk.

And my friends fuss about me needing better shoes. Tell me I should not be walking at night because it’s not “safe,” and to wear sunscreen and hydrate more and share my location with somebody in case I “end up in a ditch.” They’re cotton candy people living in cotton candy houses and they switch activities every hour and a half, and I (a garbage gremlin) can only really fake doing that for half a day at a time.

I don’t know, I’m working on it. The type of problems I have now are soft, confusing, bogging me down. I miss the clarity and brutality of the problems I used to have, when what I had to do was simple and straightforward and hurt.

Had a realisation and I'm either gonna look really smart or really, really stupid

The entire time, from the moment I saw the... thing? Amalgamation? Idk the thing J was, up until now I was thinking about how there's clearly enough material there to repare her body. I've been wondering why the Absolute Solver (AS) didn't just fix her already (besides the horror aspect lol).

I was thinking about some crossover stuff and applying Murder Drones aspects to the thing it'd crossover with and it got me to really think about the conditions of how a body can be repared.

I won't go into detail about all my thoughts and how they lead me to these realisations but basically I was trying to figure out how the character that was in J's role would gather matter to fix wounds when I remembered that the AS (in J's manner, ie gathering material) isn't needed to fix injuries. Nanites are.

N is able to repare his head, generating an entire new head from scratch using just nanites. He didn't need to gather extra material for it. J didn't regenerate her parts after being blown up by the gun. I (and probably the rest of us) assumed that she didn't regen because her entire torso was blown up and whatever makes those nanites was stored there.

That's where the AS comes in. I realised that

1. She didn't regen because she can't without nanites and

2. The AS is doing what the nanites do (fixing the host/body/vessel/whatever you want to call it) but by gathering material rather than just...idk. Just fixing it.

That's what the AS is really doing and where my theory comes in. It's trying to fix the core that makes the nanites. That's why the amalgamation is so much larger than what would be required to make a new body. It has insufficient material because it doesn't have what it needs to fix the core.

Worker drones don't seem to have nanite cores (given that Uzi needed bandages for her face, the workers didn't regen/fix their injuries during the Disassembly Drone attack and Uzi didn't seem to know that the nanites fixed stuff etc. Also Uzi's mom would probably be alive if workers could neutralize the acid and fix injuries).

This means that the AS wouldn't get the materials required to fix the core from killing Workers. We also see biological matter is being collected and given that humans don't have technology in them and can't regenerate their heads I think it's safe to say that wouldn't provide the right materials either lol

So yeah, my theory is that the AS's goal is to recover the core. A sort of failsafe to repare a Disassembly Drone if the nanites fail.

If you read all that, thanks for sticking around for my rambling lol

Do I look smart or dumb?
