jespar: hey, you okay?

prophet: what is…okay?

jespar: maybe get some rest?

prophet: my resting heart rate registers as a…

prophet: panic attack.

There's nothing more to say...

First Flight

Fictober19:  Day 1 Prompt:  “It will be fun, trust me.” Fandom:  Enderal Warnings:  Language

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He didn't like being outside -- too... exposed.  And these eyes were still too sensitized to the dark; they burned and watered in the daylight.  The fingers dug harshly into the fur as he sat astride the great beast; soft... annoying.  Every muscle, from above the squinted eyes down to the toes, was tensed beyond his ability to release.

"It will be fun," she had said, "trust me."  She was a fucking idiot.  He was a fucking idiot for agreeing to partake in such madness, but they had a job to do and this was the fastest way to get from point A to point B.

 With each beat of its wings, the beast's body undulated sickeningly.  If he vomited, she would wear it; he'd make sure of that.

 "Wooo-hooooo!" she screamed into the wind.  Her muscles were relaxed, with her arms extended euphorically into the air.  She wasn't even holding on!  What in hells was wrong with her?!

 When they finally landed... more gently than he'd expected... he pried the stiff fingers from the soft fur -- still annoying -- and climbed off the great beast.

 "Wasn't that amazing?!" she exclaimed.  She was flushed with exhilaration.  He was certain he was paler than usual.

 Still, her exuberance had a way of affecting him.  Maybe, he considered, while trying to maintain a scowl at her, if the next flight was at night...

This gives me a whole host of negative feels, but it is undeniably accurate, so. \_òó_/ Truth hurts.

It’s like watching a car repeatedly drive straight into a wall. It’s unexplainable, it looks like it hurts a lot, but ultimately it ends up being darkly, ironically funny.

Winter in April,

In the midst of an ice storm.

Go outside? Worth it!

Calia: *sipping her drink and rolling her eyes* Oh, for the love of all that's good in this world, kiss him already! Magistra: *raising her glass* I'll drink to that!"

*airship scene* ; jespar: i just dont think i can make you happy - ; prophet: but you already have. ; jespar, blushing heavily: what? ; prophet, blushing heavily: what? ; calia, still eating chips from across the airship w magistra and lijam in the background: he said he already makes you happy.

Thanks, I needed that! :)

im gonna say it since no one else will

enderal: the beach episode.

theres no threat to the imminent end of the fucking humanity looming over these peoples heads

red maddness?? idk her

high ones?? left town.

just…everyone relaxing for a day.

literally.

everyone.

like:

you bet your fucking ass my girl calia and my guy jespar are having a fuckin BLAST wo being judgemental lil asses they can be.

lishari takes a well deserved BREAK. DONT RUIN IT FOR HER. SHE WONT HESITATE, BITCH.

aerentheal chilling w some lime green crocks and a havana shirt on bc hes a fucking heathen and a secret dad in disguise.

prophet SLEEPS and has fun in the sun with no fear of water and drowning. its great.

ryneus n his dad along w thorus being a nice happy family w a dog and enjoying the sun and the beach.

there seems to be a mysterious woman laying down on the sand and enjoying this with them. proph recognizes her and just leaves her be, as she, too, is in need of a little break.

Currently paying for 2 kids in college and, yeah... getting those "gift" requests. Yet I can only be a little annoyed, considering how badly they've been defunded. I'm tired.

What the Hell? This is so cool! Wish my physics teacher had done cool stuff like this

So, our physics teacher has the strange idea of motivating his students by letting each of us present a physical phenomenal we find interesting to our classmates in a 5-minutes-presentation. And now I need something that is interesting for everyone - even people that usually don't care for physics -, but has interesting facts for someone who's interested in it, too (preferably with an easy experiment). You don't happen to have any ideas, do you?

First of all, your professor is awesome for taking the time to do this. Of the top of my mind, the best one I have is Chladni figures.

Basically take a flat metal plate, fix it at the center and spray some fine sand particles on it.

Using a violin bow, gently excite any edge of the plate to magically witness these beautiful normal mode patterns ( known as Chladni patterns/figures ) forming on the plate.

Also notice that by pinching the plate at different points, the pattern obtained changes.

There is a whole lot of physics that goes behind such a simple phenomenon and I dare say we understand it completely. There are lots of questions on these figures that we have no answer for!

Hope this helps with your presentation. Have a good one!
