LOVE IS CONCOCTED FROM ESTERS AND KETONES- CH. 00: PROLOGUE

NOTES: I hope this chapter gives you an idea of the setting and what's to come!

TAGLIST: @tragedy-of-commons, @mitsvriii, @harque, @nariism, @vxnuslogy, @akutasoda , @flowery-jazz , @gabile18 , @khoncore

Somewhere within the heart of the universe lies a perfumery on an unremarkable planet, its simplicity belittling its fame. From its exterior, it looks like any other shop on the street. Simple, with a cute sign and clean exterior. They’re closed on Mondays but for the rest of the week, they open at ten am on the weekdays and close at six pm with extended hours on the weekends. 

The inside, however, tells a different story. It’s far more spacious than the outside would lead one to believe. The poor, overworked air purifiers can be heard running 24/7 to prevent the air from becoming suffocating. The shelves go as far back as the eye can see and are stocked with bottles of different colors, sizes, and designs- each of them hefty and works of art in their own right. Each of them have different scent profiles and all of them are handcrafted by the enigmatic owner who formulates and tests each scent in the lab located behind the shop. 

… The test subjects just happen to be the two shop assistants who are more than happy to be their boss’ guinea pigs. 

The shop itself is split into three sections- male, female, and unisex. Perfumes are arranged based on the fragrance family- fresh, floral, woodsy- before being further arranged by notes- green, fruity, gourmand- since people often walk in wanting to smell like a specific note, which the owner and shop assistants are happy to work with. However, there’s a rumor that you’ll get the best results when you come in with an idea, a concept, in mind. 

“I want to smell like worn, old, musty jewelry that’s probably tangled.” There’s a scent for that.

“Do you have anything that smells like a day at the fair as a kid?” Yes, there is.

“How about a warm rock?” Second display case in the unisex section, fifth shelf down, third bottle from the left, the green one. 

There’s also the option to get a custom-made fragrance, although it’ll carry a heftier price tag than the already-pricy wares. But for many, it’s a small price to pay for something that’s uniquely personal to them. 

All of this has led to celebrities, politicians, and other rich and famous people from across the galaxy to flock to this store, which has been the biggest reason for the store’s meteoric rise to fame. It started off as the name being shared among circles and it gradually rippled out from there until it reached the level of renown it has today. Celebrities often quote a bottle from the store as their signature and/or favorite scent in interviews and the paparazzi always snap a bunch of photos whenever a particularly high-profile person leaves the store with a bag in hand. 

Rumor has it that the advertising benefits for the shop are top-tier too, which is why they practically jump at the chance to promote the newest scents. 

But while the shop’s fame is undeniable, there isn’t much known about the owner. They’ve dodged the media’s questions ever since the shop’s popularity exploded and even the two assistants don’t know much besides what’s publicly available. It seems as if they intend for things to stay that way as well. 

Not only do you want to keep your secrets close, but you also want to preserve that sense of monotony that comes with running a business for as long you have. Wake up, get ready, open the store for business, and handle the various customers that come into the shop until closing.

But unbeknownst to you, there’s a wave of new customers coming, each with their peculiarities that you’ve never quite had to deal with before, and they’re interested in more than just your wares.

Keeping your inventory stocked and your heart guarded is your modus operandi for running your business. But between running your business, staying on top of orders, and dealing with these new customers… this may be a difficult task to follow for the foreseeable future. 

the taglist is open for this series and the rest of my works!

KETONE

reading the carbon monoxide inhalation study done in collaboration with a WADA lab and im afraid the gas huffing memes were all true

[er-cryptid]

Polarization of the Carbonyl Group

-- Carbonyl group:

-- The oxygen has two lone pairs

-- The oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon

-- The polarization arrow will show electrons being pulled toward the oxygen

-- The carbon is partially positive

-- Partially positive = δ+

-- The oxygen is partially negative

-- Partially negative = δ-

-- These symbols go by the arrow

-- The polarization makes the boiling points of aldehydes and ketones higher than hydrocarbons

-- The larger the carbonyl group, the less soluble it is in water

-- If it has more than six carbons, it is insoluble

So my 4 day fast turned into a 5 day fast 😁

And after 5 days my weight has gone from 282 down to 274.6 this is the lowest i have seen since before i had my son almost 2 years ago. This makes me want to just keep fasting cuz the refeed will make it go up 😓 but hopefully wont be too much and get right back on track, i will be breaking the fast this afternoon. Just 6 more hours to complete a full 5 days which is when i'll be breaking later today

What kind of nonsense is it that blood ketone test strips are aimed towards kids instead of every age

Like oh sorry you're an adult instead of conveniently checking ketones through finger pokes (which are way more accurate might I add) you just have to use the good old fashioned ones!

You know, S-Supporting Kaden or Keton is actually really funny. Imagine being an enemy going to attack Veloria or Selkie, thinking, "This kid has large ears. They will probably turn into a beast." Then they pull out their stone and transform into a dragon instead.

Diabetes is the worst

[dapurinthos]

araithana introducing sifo-dyas to the concept of citations. 'but i KNOW it because vision.' 'yes but proof. it is time for my SUPERPOWER: RESEARCH. BRING FORTH THE RECORDS.' aka oh so i'm going to be writing a complete zannah backstory where she and bane are the only survivors of a completely blighted ruusan and how the jedi corps got formed out of the ruusan reformations.

The picture is distorted. Some of the pixels look too large but they're not actually individual pixels, they're bunches of them clumped together where the format has lost coherence over the millennium. Her face is all fuzzy around the edges where wisps of hair have escaped the fate of the rest of her hair, which has been subjected to a brutal, blunt chop close to the helix of the ear. It looks like someone took an upturned bowl and used that as their guideline. Bad idea in general, but worse when that person has curls like young Zannah. Her mouth is a patch of pale skin, erased by time and format changes. Her hair is a shade of blonde that probably darkened as she grew, changing to a sandy shade. The pixels that make up her eyes are too distorted to make out a colour other than light. There's a second picture. The hair is darker, like I suspected it would be, and longer. The curls have fallen under their own weight, creating something more like a cloud of hair around her face and shoulders. It should be the neutral, non-expression of government identification—it’s her pilot’s licence according to the file—but there’s something about her mouth and jaw that makes it look like she’s literally biting something back. There’s a bunching in the middle of her chin where skin is thin over the muscle there. Rain, no last name recorded.

Putting this in it's own post to not detract but like. There is no such thing as sugar addiction.

If you aren't eating carbs/sugars, your body craves those things because it needs them. Your body depends on sugar for energy, and if you aren't consuming enough you're going to crave it so that you eat and correct the deficiency, just like with anything else your body needs.

If you are eating carbs/sugars regularly, especially if it feels like you can never get enough of them and it feels like you're addicted, please get checked out for diabetes mellitus.

What diabetes mellitus boils down to is the body being unable to process sugar, either because it doesn't make insulin (type 1) or because it can't use the insulin it makes (type 2). Insulin is a hormone the body needs in order to use the sugar in your blood. This leads to high blood sugar levels, weight gain, being thirsty often/drinking a lot of water, and frequent urination, because the body can't get the sugar out of the bloodstream so either stores it as fat or gets rid of it in urine (and has you drink a lot of water to make that happen).

Diabetics don't crave sugar because they're addicts who can't get control of themselves, they crave sugar because their body desperately needs it but is struggling to use what they're giving it, because it's having issues with insulin.

Going in for a diabetes diagnosis can be scary and stressful, usually due to the stigma and fatphobia/fatshaming diabetes patients often have to deal with. A lot of people are uneducated about diabetes and see it as a punishment for eating unhealthily, and if you have or have had this view in the past it can be really upsetting and scary to think that you might be diabetic. Despite what the stigma may have led you to believe, diabetes is often in large part genetic, and people who are predisposed to it can have it triggered by anything from stress to covid to seemingly nothing at all. But even if you did cause your diabetes or make it worse by eating a lot of sugar/carbs, you deserve compassion and you deserve care, you deserve accurate information about how your body does/doesn't work, and you deserve treatment free from judgement and blame.

Diabetes is manageable, it is something you can live with. Diet and exercise can help, but in the long term even folks who've made lifestyle changes usually need medication, because lifestyle changes don't change the fact that your body is struggling to make/use insulin.

For something relatively common, diabetes isn't well understood by most people, and the actual symptoms of it are often overlooked because of that. Hunger even after eating, especially after eating carbs/sugar, and constantly craving carbs/sugars, was what led my doctor to assess me for diabetes, so if that's something you struggle with please consider looking into diabetes.
