Minewolf 🐺 🦗🧨 (Novacanis Liquidus Detonare) or Xittocoyotl "Large insectoid canines with a sharp explosion-proof exoskeleton. They carry and produce a blue liquid in their body akin to nitroglycerine which they eject to defend and attack. Whilst solitary they can group together like a wolf pack and excel at hunting.

Thanks to their unmatched sense of smell they’re able to detect hazards early, the odor of mines and other explosives even if in different states of matter, becoming incredibly useful to demine fields after undergoing training and domestication. This species can be avoidant of humans however but once trust is gained they may become loyal companions."

JRWI:Riptide things I think about often (and I don’t see people talk about enough)

- Chip and Reuben Price

- Gillion, who was left by his parents, being left by his sister

- Jay knowing so much of the navy from her childhood (also how much of a goddamn trans allegory her story is)

- Jay almost always being harsh on Chip in moments of vulnerability for both of them

- Gillion hiding from Felipe in the pantry

- That one nightmare Chip had in ep

64

- Chip and Arlin talking in liquidus

- Gillion’s derealisation after his nightmare

- Jay losing the ability to read

- How young the captains are, (Chip could have graduated high school the year before the campaign, Jay can just BARELY legally drink in the US, and both Gillion and Jay would likely still be in college)

Hey, Riptide Enjoyers… what if Ava Ferin was a reborn?

So basically, what I have set in stone so far is:

Ava is resurrected via some Aster shenanigans with no memories but their first name and a painful sensation throughout their entire body; the suns scattered across their skin are scars from the wounds that ultimately killed them.

Since Ava died in the Northern Sea, she wakes up in a holy place in the same ocean: The Sun Temple in Liquidus. She becomes a monk there because the teachings are comfortable and second nature.

One day, a visiting crew of pirates rolls by, and they see a woman who looks so much like them. The woman sees them too. Ava doesn’t know why she’s hugging them, why they both look so alike, or why she’s crying into their arms. Ava does ask if they know one another, which takes the woman, Jay, aback. Jay backpedals, confused by the reaction, saying she confused Ava for someone else. But Gillion cuts in and points out Ava’s undead nature, confirming their identity.

VERY quickly, Ava latches onto Jay, the first hint she has to the life she had before. She likes the temple but knows there are at least two decades of life to uncover alongside the woman who she now knows is her sister. She stays with the Albatrio through the Feywild and becomes a member of the Riptide Pirates when they leave Liquidus.

most tragic thing about gillion being the chosen one is that nobody? knows.?? the only time anyone has reacted to finding out he's the chosen one is when he told them himself, and even then, most people on land don't even know what he's talking about (even though the prophecy doesn't apply only to the undersea). and he only gets recognized in public is because of his wanted poster and i think about this so often what do you mean he's destined to decide the fate of the world and no one knows he even exists

another thought i would think the concept of the chosen one must have been more popular in the undersea (considering that 1. the elders raised him and even caspian who lived soo far from the trench knew about the elders and 2. in liquidus theres much more information on it) so at least down there people regarded gillion with respect to his identity. so imagine how strange it must have been from going to being one of the most highly regarded individuals in the undersea to being taken unseriously by everyone on land. oh my god

Monday Musings: How Does Magma Form and What is it Made Of?

The inside of our planet is full of left over heat from when it was created plus new heat from the decay of radioactive elements. However, the crust of the earth does not float on a sea of molten rock as some models predict. Molten rock, or magma, only forms in certain places under special conditions.

The upper mantle gets to temperatures comparable to those of lava, however due to the great pressure it is under, the rock remains solid. So, how can melt rock if pressure prevents melting? Lessen the pressure but keep the temperature unchanged. We use geothermal gradients to determine just where that point is.

The geotherm is the temperature as a function of depth. The solidus represents conditions at which rock starts to melt and the liquidus represents the conditions at which rock completely melts. What this graph shows from point A to point B, the pressure decreases a lot but only cools a little. We call this decompression melting.

Another way rock can melt is through the addition of volatiles. Volatiles are substances that evaporate easily and can exist as gases at Earth surface pressures. Typically, these are water or carbon dioxide. This will drop the melting temperature of the hot, dry rock. We sometimes call this flux melting.

The third way to melt rock is to inject hot magma into the crust. If it has enough heat, it will raise the temperature of the surrounding rock which may be just enough to melt part of it. Thing hot fudge in ice cream. We call this heat-transfer melting.

Now that we have the how, let's learn about the composition. What is magma made out of? Lots of elements actually. Silica is a big portion. Silica is made of silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons.

There are also other elements such as aluminum, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iron. If it is a "wet magma" it will also contain elements that form volatiles such as water, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen. "Dry magmas" do not contain volatiles.

There are four major types of magma based on the amount of silica present. These are ultramafic, mafic, intermediate, and felsic.

Ultramafic magmas have almost no silica in them. They are primarily made of olivine and pyroxenes, ferromagnesium minerals. Some will have a little bit of calcium-rich plagioclase.

Mafic rocks start to lose the high olivine content and add other minerals like amphiboles and biotite as well as a mixture of calcium and sodium-rich plag. Ultramafic and mafic rocks tend to be very dark in color. This magma has a low viscosity and flows easily.

Intermediate igneous rocks typically contain between 52% and 63% silica content. Here we lose olivine completely and add quartz and k-spar as well as increasing the amount of sodium-rich plag, biotite, and amphiboles while decreasing the amount of pyroxene. Here we start to add muscovite as well. The color also tends to be a mix of light and dark minerals.

Finally, we have felsic rocks which contain more than 65% silica content. They are primarily made of quartz, k-spar, and sodium-rich plag. There are also smaller amounts of mica (muscovite and biotite) and amphibole. These igneous rocks are light in color. They are also highly viscous and resistant to flow.

Today's lesson is now at an end but make sure you tune in tomorrow for some trivia! Fossilize you later!

Oo kind of related to that last one but I think alphonze knows like, nothing about anything like dude was made to look intimidating there’s probably not a lot of actual stuff up there(brain). So like when they went to liquidus when he wasn’t at the Limonade stand he was in a library there just Reading shit

Also there’s no fucking way he knows how to sail a boat I think I’ve said it before but dude has less of an idea of where they’re going than anyone on that fuckass ship

A solidus line ( 2 ) ( 3 ) on a phase diagram is a line that separates fully solid phases from a phase or phases that are a mixture of solid and liquid. In order to become completely solid, compositions must be cooled below their solidus temperature. A solidus line will not exist for pure substances, which have a single freezing temperature instead of a freezing range (which is the gap between the solidus and liquidus lines).

i wish to do some research,,

[razberrypuck]

also hey is the reason no one outside of liquidus talks about the goddesses because a vast majority of those that worshipped them were in the black sea. bc all the sun imagery and direct mentions of aster makes me think that may be the case.

also the fact that the clouds are so constantly dense that the sun and moon's light can't break through. the fact that magic became so difficult to use. it's interesting.

hrt that turns you into a liquidus compound

When riptides over or smth the council should like have an episode or smth where they follow the crew around I wanna know what they do when they’re not there

Guys, I think Grizzly hid lore in Dark Puckered Hole.

NOW JUST- JUST HEAR ME OUT. (Mieru, look away).

I’m not just talking about the potential purity culture of the Undersea being exposed through Finn’s self exploration… I’m talking RAFT lore.

In Chapter 69, “Behind Bars,” of Dark Puckered Hole, Finn Tidestrider is imprisoned “somewhere in the eastern sea” with another triton, who is on the brink of death. They fall in love and bang before the anonymous convict passes in Finn’s arms, but that’s not what I’m focusing on. Im focusing on the presence of another triton, an injured one, in the Oversea, especially the Sakura Ocean.

Historically in Mana, Finn Tidestrider was one of, if not, THE FIRST to leave the Undersea behind. A decade or so-so later, in modern day Riptide, there have been practically no other triton. Gillion, who was banished, and Edyn, who left to find and avenge him, are the only ones. Even more so, the only other Undersea characters are found in the Undersea (Unnamed NPCs in The Tank OR Felipe, a grung, being from Liquidus) or having left it behind for personal reasons a la Edyn (Caspian, a water genasi). When the Tidestrider siblings go around Allport, they have to wear cloaks to avoid standing out. There aren’t even other triton in Liquidus!

So how, why, is there another triton in the oversea? Finn himself is shocked by his presence. “In this prison, to find another man from the Undersea… my mind raced with questions.” He doesn’t dwell on this weirdness because his questions are drowned out by the sound of his blood beneath his skin, rushing downward, BUT it’s very bizarre, no?

Another detail: Why was the other triton on the verge of death? Of course, inadequate care, but could he have been thrown back into the cell like that? Whoever imprisoned them did not care about their lives. They could live, or they could die.

To go further, isn’t it kind of weird how Finn Tidestrider doesn’t specify where his imprisonment is? He is a very detailed author. He could have said one of the villages in Onawa Country or anything else to feed more detail into his writing, but he didn’t. I feel like the reason he wouldn’t be specific is because he himself was unsure exactly of where he was. He was taken in secret, likely kept out of sight while being arrested and transported to his cell.

I also have to wonder… who imprisoned them? I think you know what I’m getting at. I think RAFT did. RAFT has the resources. RAFT has the political sway. RAFT has governmental power. And it’s worsened by the fact that this imprisonment occurred in the Eastern Sea, the site of the Promised Bastion, where triton are imprisoned, tortured, skinned, and experimented on…

Judging by the fact that Finn refers to the other triton’s you-know-what as “a lighthouse to guide this lost sailor home,” Finn was likely a part of the Black Rose Pirates at the time. He couldn’t hide his presence in the Oversea as a crewmate for a pirate lord, let alone Captain Rose. Finn was on wanted posters, Finn was in newspaper headlines, Finn was a published author. I think RAFT had its eyes on him, but when they arrested or kidnapped him, it wasn’t for crimes of piracy… at least not on the surface.

I think this experimentation on Undersea people and gods has been going on for a long time, and Dark Puckered Hole could be evidence of this fact. Finn was intended to be a source of skin, of blood, and of magic for RAFT’s experimentation in the artificial leviathan and black ops projects. His lover was too, maybe already was (I say maybe because Finn doesn’t allude to the idea that he was physically ripped apart… that would have been unignorable). Finn probably only made it out because he’s that strong (in episode 82, when Drey is talking to and comforting Jay, he said Finn was terrifying when angry or passionate) or his crew came to his rescue.

I think political and military purposes against the pirates weren’t the only reasons RAFT wanted to ally with the Undersea. “Joining forces” with them led either to less suspicion as they funneled triton out of the ocean and to the recently abandoned Promised Bastion, or coming to dominate them allowed RAFT to simply take triton without enough pushback. Either way, without their Champion to rise against them (the one triton on the hooks accused Gillion of abandoning them), they’ve been taken en masse. And maybe Edyn’s collaboration with the navy permitted her some of this knowledge, and that’s how she knew to hide Gillion from prying eyes in navy territory.

Uhhh tldr: It’s weird that there’s an injured triton in the Eastern Oversea. I think DPH could imply that Finn and his lover were imprisoned by RAFT as test subjects for the artificial leviathan and black ops projects, proving the longevity of Fay Ferin’s plans.

boże nie mam liquidu a gdy pale to nie czuje w ogóle głodu a teraz kurwa zaczynam czuć te okropne uczucie ale i tak jem nie cały obiad w szkole a po powrocie do domu nic 💓

Jakoś przetrwałam świata ale napierdalam się ciast więc dramat.

Jade jutro po buty i mam taki plan że poproszę mamę o 150 zł z czego 130 na buty a 20 na liquid do epa bo nie mam i jeszcze 5 zł mam które wydam na jakąś cole zero i fasta zrobię.Mam nadzieję że mój plan się uda bo potrzebuje liquidu i powinnam zrobić fasta może rano się zważe ale nie wiem czy mi się uda bo moja waga ma wąchania nastroju i może być tak że przestanie działać. Oglądam ostatnio filmy o ed i próbuje się zmotywować do schudnięcia bo jest źle.

Mam nadzieję że nie przytyjecie przez świata

Chudego dnia/nocy motylki 🦋
