In honor of season 5 I present:

The Samadhi Fire: Chemistry Analysis

The Samadhi Fire has dark red flames, which are obviously only supposed to show us how incredibly hot and inextinguishable they are, but as a chemistry nerd I feel obliged to look more into it.

The Basics

In nature, Red flames are most commonly produced by burning of Lithium (Li). Lithium is an Alkali metal, a group of elements known for burning when touching Oxygen or hydrogen - meaning spontaneous and immediate burns when touching air. And, well, who kept on burning until they literally split the flames? That's right, our boy Red Son.

In The First Ring Princess Iron Fan says that Red Son was a "promising addition to the Demon Bull Family. Too promising". No one predicted the Samadhi Fire, it was spontaneous. like the burning of Lithium. In JTTW they needed an entire fucking ocean to put it out, a terrible idea when we're talking about Alkali metals (that also burn in reaction to water), but. fine. okay. it's an Alkali metal that burns in red, so it's lithium.

The Splitting Ritual

During the ritual, Tripitaka used magic to hold the fire while they separate the fire into three - an act that would obviously be impossible according to science, but we'll let it slide. So assuming this can separate the fire: what would it be separated to? Lithium is an element, you can't just split it. That would cause an atomic explosion. So what is it?

The answer is that it's not pure Lithium - that kind of substance is extremely unstable. the substance burning in the Samadhi fire is a molecule called Lithium Chloride (LiCl), and the ritual was a simple chemical reaction that turned the Lithium Chloride, with a little bit of Copper, to Lithium and Copper Chloride, with a reaction i will explain in the next part.

The Rings And Mei's Ritual

In her vision, Mei sees three rings, each burning in a different color. in the original JTTW lore the fire is made out of all the elements combined, so that's how i'm going to refer to it. But, like, also scientifically correct.

We have the orange fire, created with Calcium Chloride and representing Fire, mainly with its color.

next is Blue, created either with Alcohol or Copper Chloride and representing water with the molecule shape and type (alcohol is a type of a molecule build, and although water fits this category it is an exception and is NOT considered an alcoholic molecule).

and lastly there's the green fire, which is created with Copper Sulfate and represents earth, because Copper in one of the most common Precious Metals found inside the earth.

The original ritual starts with one Copper chloride ring, one Copper Sulfate ring, one Calcium Sulfate ring, and a big ass Lithium Chloride fire.

Then we have a chemical reaction when Tripitaka uses his magic, and it turns into one Copper Sulfate ring, one Copper Chloride ring, one Calcium Chloride ring and a harmless little Lithium Sulfate that hardly ever set fire.

Mei's ritual is kinda just the opposite, but with a big twist: when Lithium Chloride is created it releases a heat wave much hotter than its regular burning, creating white sparks. In the beginning of the ritual we can literally see a huge flash of light before the fire is created.

Ao Lie And The fourth Ring

There wasn't supposed to be a fourth ring. Sun Wukong said it clearly. He lost control and Ao Lie had to take the hit so Tripitaka doesn't die, turning himself to the fourth ring. Now, is this chemically possible? Of course not! So what is going on here?

Well, what if Ao Lie used the copper inside his bones and muscles to trap the fire inside a Copper Sulfate "ring", like the green one? He used the chemical reaction of the fire with his body (and probably a lot of magic, too) to make a ring inside of himself, trapping the last bit of fire. That would also explain how Mei has the fourth ring - it's like a defective gene, it's inside her bones. That could be the reason for her dragon form's "fire breathing" even before the ritual happened, she literally has fire in her bones.

Mei's Control Of The Fire

When Mei just gained control over the fire, the flames were red, like with Red Son before. She tried to use the fire like him, with lithium Chloride as her base. But she was afraid of the fire and didn't understand what's happening, so the fire was reckless and couldn't be tamed. It was affected by her feelings, and she simply couldn't control five different parts of the fire at the same time.

"Don't use the fire, Mei. BE the fire". It was only after Red Son told her this that she managed to really bend the fire to her will - because she used the copper inside of her to catch the fire and make it part of her, truly. She discharged the other rings and even the original burning Lithium and used the fire on her own terms, with Copper Sulfate as the base.

Minor spoilers for season 5!

When the Dragon fruit Duo try to seal the Fire Creature Mei loses control, which shouldn't have happened according to this theory. If the fire is inside her bones, she shouldn't lose her ability to control it.

But look at what Red Son tells her (Translation by monkiemacaque on Youtube!): "You evolved with the fire! You didn't completely lose your connection, and never once gave in to its will! You are its master!"

Mei never lost her ability to control the fire, it was still there. The only problem was that it was inaccessible for her - it's like a reflex, it's an irrational response and she can't use it on command. Mei had to learn how to force the fire to obey her will, how to turn her reflexes to rational actions. Like how Red Son used to punch himself to activate the fire.

I hope this was clear and easy to understand, I can try and explain more if not.

I don't think there's much to add, but let me know if i forgot anything!

Only thing I think is worth mentioning is that in some shots the flames are black, which is also impossible because. you can't make black (AKA lack of light) fire (AKA light source).

Also have these parallel screenshots I didn't know what to do with.

reanimator au where everything is the same but meg lives and is dating francesca and they always talk shit about dan. also every friday herbert gets to tag along

Iwbft canon facts that aren't canon necessarily but they are to me!!!!!

-rowan can walk in platform boots no matter the height (lister is like Bambi on ice)

-one time jimmy went to his grandads for the weekend and on day 2 of him being gone, lister sent him 14 videos of him and Rowan doing just dance

-they get a cat

-they all took re gcse (lister got a 4, Rowan a 9 and jimmy got an 8)

-they all got build a bears that look like them

-jimmy hates the big light so he forced them to get a salt lamp in the living room for movie nights

-rowan is constantly singing under his breath and lister mouths to it behind him

-rowan tried to clean listers wardrobe and when he opened it 40+ monster high dolls flew out

-rowan - apple bloom, lister - scootaloo, jimmy - sweetie belle

-they post muggies of each other on their private Instagram stories on their birthdays and lister once 'accidentally' posted a picture of Rowan with loads of chins and his eyes half closed on his main Instagram with 3.6 million followers

-they collaborated with Trisha paytas (Trisha rock pop era)

-when they all eat at the dinner table, lister crams all of his food into his mouth while Rowan watches in horror and has had to leave the table several times because it makes him feel ill

-they all look at each other and say something random in interviews that makes them piss themselves laughing while everyone else is so confused

-lister has the online footprint of timmothe chalamet

-they all avidly listen to Nikki Minaj, lady Gaga, Ariana grande, Rhianna, Taylor swift and Beyoncè

-lister made those cringey tiktok povs in 2020 thinking he looked well hard

-they disappeared from the Internet for months then randomly posted a video of them dancing sped up to Lister singing really badly when he was tired

-they all stared in a zombie apocalypse TV show like the walking dead once bicci happened and Rowan and lister were married in the show, making them kiss several times and they did such a good job people started shipping them rather than jowan

-rowan has read atyd and crimson rivers (he cried to both of them)

I'll think of more later

Okay yeah no I need to yell abt Valentino's behavior during Stayed Gone and the scenes surrounding it some more because it makes me rEALLY FUCKING FRUSTRATED-

First of all: Val is partially the reason Stayed Gone even happens in the first place. While I do believe Vox would've done something similar had he figured out Al was at the hotel some other way, Val still encouraged Vox to react the way he did. The smiles, the teasing, the way he subtly reminds Vox why he hates Alastor in the first place... it's all very intentional. He is purposefully trying to get Vox pissed off. He wants a show. A show that he KNOWS is going to cause damage to the Vees image, which he also knows is very important to Vox. He also ABSOLUTELY could've told Vox this information sooner! He probably heard about Alastor being at the hotel from Angel, and we know that episode one takes place like a week after the pilot. Val probably knew Alastor was there for at most a week before he told Vox. He was saving that information(for some fucking reason idfk). And like to be fair I don't think just randomly bringing that up to Vox would be a very good idea, but like. Val also picked a really weird time to tell him anyway so. There was probably some kind of ulterior motive there. Also I've seen a couple people saying this so I'm just gonna get it out of the way right now: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE SAME THING AS VOX SUBTLY MANIPULATING VAL TO GET HIM TO CALM DOWN. Vox did that as a way to prevent Val from shooting up a fucking building, one that also happened to contain the LITERAL PRINCESS OF HELL!!! There was no waiting for Val to calm down in that scenario, he had to get him to stop. Val was also literally throwing shit at him??? Fuck I'm surprised Vox didn't pull the manipulation card sooner. I've gone into it in depth before but for the sake of this post I'm going to reiterate: FIGHTING BACK AGAINST SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN THROWING SHIT AT YOU AND IS ACTIVELY THREATENING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE SHOOT UP A BUILDING WITH THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL BEING IN HELL INSIDE IS NOT ABUSE!!!!!!!!!! LIKE HOLY FUCK I SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY THIS IT'S NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE TO ABUSE YALL NEED TO STOP SAYING THIS SHIT!!!!!!!! Vox was trying to prevent Val from doing something OBSCENELY stupid, Val was actively encouraging Vox to do the dumbest fucking thing possible. These actions are not the same. They do not carry the same weight.

*ahem* Anyways, that brings us to the singing portion of Stayed Gone, which to be fair Val isn't really in all that much. But when he IS, boy howdy is he NOT acting like somebody who was very clearly trying to get this reaction literally 30 seconds ago. He shows up like. 3 times. And every time he looks put off by Vox's behavior. BITCH YOU WANTED THIS THE FUCK!?!?!?!? This is the part that makes me really mad. I don't even know WHY it's so upsetting to me- the manipulation is shitty yeah but to have the fucking GAUL to act like you weren't TRYING TO GET THIS REACTION afterwards is just. What. No! What???? That's. What the fuck???? You are not allowed to encourage somebody to make a public fool of themself and then be embarrassed when they make a public fool of themself. It is simply against the rules. Also his complete disinterest during the meeting scene... like okay, lets contrast this with Velvette's behavior for a second, right? She also looks upset during Stayed Gone, but she didn't egg Vox on the way Val did, in fact she probably had no idea what was going on until the song started, so she gets a pass. Then, during the meeting scene, she. She actually participates. She gives genuine suggestions and actually pays attention to what Vox & Val are saying. I'm on the fence over wether this should be considered bare minimum or not because, while Al forming an alliance with Charlie WOULD be a big deal, we don't actually know how much this would effect specifically the Vees so. Idk. But still she's doing more than fucking Val!!! Valentino "someone who owes us much more than money" HazbinHotel is just sitting there, bedazzling his gun, giving weird vague suggestions that barely even apply to the situation. Velvette wins this interaction, gold star for her, because LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK VAL-

Anyways, in conclusion, Val's behavior in this scene makes me really mad and is thus far completely unjustified by the narrative. Vox never does anything even REMOTELY similar to him, at least not that we know of, and Velvette, the person who is MUCH LESS INVOLVED IN VOX AND ALASTOR'S BULLSHIT THEN VAL IS, is still somehow taking the situation more seriously then Val, who is, once again, LITERALLY THE ONE WHO ENCOURAGED THIS BULLSHIT!!!! The bar was on the floor and yet Val somehow managed to limbo his way under it. I hate it here.

i am SO sorry about this post

What if Ninjago wasn't Ninjago? What if it was FNAF, and William Afton kidnapped all the ninja except for Nya? So she goes to Wu to tell him what's wrong, and he says, 'There's something I haven't told you yet.' He explains that William Afton used to be his husband until Wu kissed his arch-nemesis, Henry Emily, and William has hated Wu since then. Nya goes, 'WHATTTTT, that's so wild!' So Wu says, 'We will need extra help to defeat him because he is the alpha wolf, baby girl, of fighting ' He takes his phone and calls the 2012 Teenage Mutant Turtles: Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello, to come help fight William Afton.

So, the 2012 Teenage Mutant Turtles come to the monastery with all their weapons ready to fight William Afton for revenge because William rizzed up and then killed their dad, Splinter. But Master Wu says, 'We need one more person to help fight.' So he calls Jack Frost from the hit movie Rise of the Guardians, and Jack says, 'I'm ready to beat some murderers' ass,' because William Afton killed his little sister.

They all show up to Sparkles (William Afton's secret hideout) and they're like, 'We are here to take the ninja back!' But William is like, 'Nuh uh,' and they start to fight. The ninja get good hits in, and William goes down, but he has the power of God and anime on his side, and he calls Sans Undertale from the hit game Undertale to come help him fight. Sans summons his Gaster Blasters and attacks everyone, and they all fall.

But then just when they think they're about to lose, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Mane 6 come out of the heavens and start to sing 'Eye of the Tiger' by Katy Perry. Everyone starts singing along, getting up, and getting their strength back. William Afton is confused and says, 'What is happening?' Then, with the power of friendship, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Katy Perry, they make a superpower beam that kills William Afton and Sans Undertale, and Nya is able to save all the ninja. What if that happened?

I know I've made goth gf jokes about her before (please don't do this to real people) but tbh she's more scene than anything. Had to draw an actually goth version of Thirteen tho.
