#it doesnt happen all the time and i dont think its like mania bc most of the time it doesnt really feel good

[opens-up-4-nobody]

Just out of curiosity, anyone else get like elevated mood, insane evergy, or like unhinged focus while on their period?

[demadogs]

From my experience as a pretty casual watcher up until a couple months ago I don't know anyone whos a super big fan of mike and el together? Like pretty much everyone I know who watches ST just kind of expects them to be endgame because they always have been but since the monologue was deemed cringe and most people hate Mike at this point its popularity as a pairing has pretty much dimmed apart from "they were cute in season 2 I guess!". Byler is also kinda looked down upon bc of the unanimous hatred of Mike and because most people in the GA think it's impossible to have feelings for someone of the same gender if you've dated someone of the opposite gender before or they think it's already too late in the game to make it canon.

yeah ive said this recently but i think we dont recognize the lack of mlvn fans anymore because the remaining ones are so loud and obnoxious, but theres actually very few of them. even if theyre not bylers, most people are over mlvn and feel like theyre forced and neither of them are happy. but i think a lot of them just think its shitty writing and dont realize theres a reason for it.

i think the people who do hate mike and mlvn will be more onboard with byler when it happens because mikes behavior that has lead him to be such a disliked character is pretty much entirely a result of his internalized homophobia. him ignoring his friends for el, lying to el, “its not my failt you dont like girls”, not writing or calling will, not hugging him at the airport, fighting with will and blaming him at rink o mania, gaslighting el by saying “i say it” when shes crying in front of him about the fact that he doesnt love her, then all of a sudden being able to say it during a life or death situation but he brings up her super powers again. its all a result of his own self hatred so once hes with will and accepts himself he wont be like this anymore.

people SHOULD hate mike if they arent thinking about the fact that it could be a result of internalized homophobia. i honestly dont understand why more mlvns dont hate mike and are mad at his actions. like hes treated both will and el like shit and many of us have figured out why hes been acting like this but for those who have never even considered that it could be internalized homophobia, i dont understand how they still like him and still think hes great for el.

i think once they reveal that all his shitty actions were a result of his own self hatred the people that do hate him a lot will start to go easy on him. mike needs to have a moment like will destroying castle byers for people to see how much he has been struggling this whole time. they wouldnt just make a loved character from the first two seasons an asshole for no reason.

Lol I love what happens when you go down from period 3 to 4 in the body

K to Rb: absolutely fuck all. You can have as much as 50% of your K ions in your body as Rb and nothing happens. Any more and it just starts spazzing and you die of concerted cell spazzing

Ca to Sr: increases bone density, increases heart attack risk (strontium counterion medications are a high risk high reward treatment for osteoporosis bc its one above calcium. SO it makes bones more dense as minerals. And strontium is just large enough to occasionally block those ion pumps and cause heart attacks)

(ns2 np1 group doesn't exist, hush. aluminum? gallium? quit making stuff up)

C to Si: get the fuck out of here you watched one YouTube video and think you know everything about the potential chemistry of alien life silicon doesn't behave like carbon (seriously organosilicon is closer to organotin than classical organics. Organotin is cool as hell though definitely recommend)

P to As: hhhhHHA. okay we all know Arsenic Bad but this is because As doesnt like its +5 ox state (As2O3 is the common oxide, vs P2O5), much like most period 4 p block elements, being the first group after transition metals they remain in their lower ox state. Except As(iii) behaves like P(iii) which is hella toxic, except there's no way to fix it like P so it just destroys your body at the molecular level as your cells try and fail to integrate this Imposter Phosphorus

S to Se: okay this is actually important and genetically encoded for (selenocysteine) because biological sulfur compounds tend to be in low oxidation states, so low valent Se (ie, selenols like thiols, selenides like sulfides, etc) is just Softer, Sloppier Sulfur. Its rare in the body but definitely used in some specialized proteins. Tellurium poisoning is a fate worse than death though.

Cl to Br: *deep breath* organobromides are more reactive oxidizers than the relatively stable C-Cl bond, most simple ones like benzyl bromide are world class lachrymators and carcinogens and bromoethylacetate is an old tear gas. Fun fact one time i accidentally made iodoacetone which does the same thing and suffered greatly. bromide salts are strong sedatives and we still don't totally know why but bromide salts were used as treatment for epilepsy and mania in the 1800s and "bromide" was slang for something to soothe a conversation, someone with "bromism" was slang for someone who was especially dull. Unfortunately bromide ions take a while to remediate out bc theyre Not Cl and Not I and therefore a lot of people died of bromide poisoning. Soon after we discovered barbiturates which are much more efficient at sedating you to death. Then we discovered benzodiazepines which dont kill you very easily, and now everyone is addicted to Xanax. If you think any higher oxidation state of a halide matters in the body then you can put on your clown shoes and walk on home.

Ar to Kr: ha made you look

Fun fact, p block hydrides beyond ammonia water and hydrohalic acids all smell vaguely the same, theyre all violently toxic and smell like rotten garlic. The smell receptors go "ah, yes, lots of electrons. Hydride. Strong reducing agent. no thanks." H2S is the most famous, most common, and probably least toxic, but phosphine, selenane, arsane, etc all smell like death (and the advertising is spot on!)
