While I'm glad my classes are giving me more fun ideas for fucked up science in a world created by a man who doesn't know fuck all about science. Can my classes please give me the time to write said ideas please begging on my hands and knees I want to write Shen Yuan yelling at Airplane about his bad science.
Like please I just want
Sy: why the fuck did the nectar turn pink
Airplane: oh the dirt's acidic.
Sy: what
Airplane: yeah, that flower is used as an indicator of poisons, it turns pink when in the presence of acids... Word of warning, most poisons in this world are acidic.
Sy: WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED ACIDIC POISONS DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT POISON IS
Airplane: BRO BRO I NEEDED A WAY TO INDICATE THERE WAS POISON! THE NECTAR HAS PHENOLPHTHALEIN
Sy: ... YOU HACK THAT'S NOT EVEN HOW PHENOLPHTHALEIN WORKS?!
Significantly later
Sy: why does my soup smell like mac n cheese cooking
Airplane: you remember what I said about poisons being mostly acidic?
Sy: .......... I'm going to go kill a coward, and then you're next

walt's transition from using chemistry and his vast knowledge of chemical engineering to solve problems in the first-ish season to just using blunt violence is so interesting. i guess u could call it the difference between "walter white" and "heisenberg" if ur into that whole dynamic, but its just more fascinating than anything to see walt's whole "elevated" approach of drug-making and cartel work where he's using these sophisticated processes ("this is not meth", blowing up the locks to break into the warehouse and steal methylamine, gassing emilio and domingo, making ricin) devolve into gun violence, hiring hits, and physical intimidation. guy who posits himself as a brilliant genius who is above the barbarity of this business, but who eagerly dives headfirst into it and all of its candid cruelty as soon as he can call the shots

whats ur favourite chemical reaction. mine is the one that exploades.
Crystalization. I dont remember exactly which one but back when i was writing my highschool paper. My friend was given the project of making these blue crystals by hanging a thread into the beaker of blue liquid then leaving it in the lab. It was really pretty when she pulled it out of the liquid.
I was responsible for testing the concentration of multiple store bought vinegar lmao but atleast i get to see pretty crystal friend made.

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
You would not believe your eyes if all the following which were true became untrue:
An unidentified flying object came from the sky
An unidentified falling object came from the sky
An old coot lit a cigarette using a lighter, and then walked home
An old coot lit a cigarette with his teeth, and then walked home
The old coot ran down the road, flipped the traffic light upside down, and then ran home
The old coot arose and left the world, and a meteor suddenly flew from the ground
A meteor suddenly flew from the ground
The old coot sat down, rose from his seat, flew to the heavens, exploded
Another explosion appeared in the sky, all by itself
A second sky appeared in the sky, by itself
All the fireflies in the world exploded
A single firefly in the world lived on
A second world appeared in the sky by itself
A certain unidentified voice broke the surface of the ocean
A second unidentified voice broke the surface of the ocean
34 voices broke the surface of the ocean
An old coot arose
The old coot took a bath
All the fires in the world went out
An alien starship emerged from the bowels of the dark sky and floated on the horizon
A starship emerged and floated on the horizon
A wonderous fountain appeared on the horizon and vanished
The world suddenly became a sea of jello
The sudden sea of jello suddenly became a road and vanished
The nuclear detonation surfaced
A second nuclear detonation surfaced
Frog Prince was on his way home
A second Frog Prince was on his way home
Repo Man was talking to Frog Prince in the gutter
A pipe came from the sky and exploded
Frog Prince took a bath
Everything in the world changed
Everything in the world was the same
Ten million fireflies lit up the night
The old coot rose from his seat, turned around, sat back down and died
