Magma Doodles Part 2

28 more days of the semester (4/15/2025)

Took a quiz in immunology (didn't study too hard and it kicked my ass tbh)

Took my chemistry lab final (where they said it was going to be just the quiz questions... it wasn't + probably failed it 😔👍)

Got notif about my REU!! Meeting sometime next week + getting things set up for it :)

joke from whenever toby clarified he had to add save points to chapter 4 light world segment

That time Heisenberg stabbed Ethan with a rusty fencepost

Thanks to this one fic project that needed a pornographically detailed list of Ethan’s most memorable injuries, I've spent some time trying to figure out exactly what Heisenberg stabs him with when they first met. Working mostly from a free-camera version from youtube, I settled on calling a metal pipe with a square profile.

Tumblr: I was wrong. The reality is so much worse.

Having cracked the game files and installed my own free-camera mod, I tracked down the original asset for this thing, and, well...

No, really, this is it! Check out those matching cross-bars if you doubt me.

FWIW, it isn’t actually a spear. Those semi-mangled crossbars flag it instead as a spear-headed fence-post. (This may not be a distinction that Ethan would find very comforting after being stabbed with the thing, but there it is, regardless.)

In fact, if you poke around the cemetery area just outside the castle gate, you can even find the fence it presumably came from.

Look in on the cemetery near the church from the lane leading up to the Duke's shop beside it, and this is what you'll see.

It's not a perfect match (in fact, it's even worse viewed from the opposite side, because someone has clearly stuffed up the textures on different sides of the same asset). I'll also note that if you go back to this fence again after meeting Heisenberg, you won’t find any suspicious gaps in it where a post was recently ripped out. So I’m going to just go ahead and assume this particular piece was lying in a pile of surplus scrap in the cellar somewhere, and Heisenberg did not, in fact, drag the thing all the way there from well outside the whole damn building. I mean, at that point, you’re just showing off.

The fence post is, admittedly, pretty hard to get a good look at in the actual game. Unlike all the other crap Heisenberg already has levitating around him in this scene, the fencepost doesn’t appear at all until Heisenberg stabs Ethan with it. It actually seems to emerge at speed from between a couple of barrels at the back. But if you’re enough of a lunatic to play around with the various slow motion/rewind settings that came with the free camera mod, you can get a decent shot of it in flight, cleaning up any remaining doubt that this is the same asset that was used in game.

It even freaking spins in the air as it moves. FTR, yes, it does go in pointy-end first. And the whole fucking spearhead ends up buried in poor Ethan. (Please feel free to insert your own dick-joke here.) Those paying really close attention might even note that the blood on Ethan's shirt is present even before the spear hits him, but that's just going to be virtual-stunt-coordination having a normal one.

I can offer you no similarly definitive insight into why Heisenberg would think stabbing Ethan with this thing was a good idea. I can’t even tell you if he knew for sure that it was Ethan Winters he was talking to at this point (maybe he's just playing dumb, pretending not to recognise him. Or maybe he legit didn't know that Ethan himself had made an appearance until Miranda told him. Sure, he's already got that whole conspiracy board, but finding real pictures of this Ethan-guy is surprisingly hard.) But whether Heis was already testing out Ethan’s ‘interesting body’, or whether he’d just generally assumed that anyone who could survive a full lycan assault on the village wouldn’t be too seriously inconvenienced by a little stabbing, hoo boy was this one way to make a first impression.

I’m not even sure which of these losers is the bigger idiot here: the one who imagined Ethan might still agree to work with him even after inserting a very convincing imitation-spearhead into his intestines, or the one who never thought to seriously question how he keeps shrugging off injuries just as exciting as this one.

They probably deserve each other.

Here it is:

(There are some stuff you may find a bit controversial)

-Decorate your apartment

-Declutter 20 items

-Finish doing an art collage

-Study everyday for 10 days

-Go on a walk with a podcast alone

-Do something creative every day

-Clean for 30 minutes every day

I am open to some new ideas too <3

We re doing this DIY 3d printed advent calendar with my boyfriend and it is super exciting and its almost finished so maybe we will paint that too.

Also because I basically live with my bf I realized that I almost never stay alone for a whole day with myself so I want to challange myself on that: I want to be more independent and accomplish a full day of being alone but we will see that might not be the best option for my mental health.

I am. Doing it. 2 hours and 52 mins in.

Next goal: DO NOT GET UP UNTIL YOU FINISH ALL THE PRACTICE QUESTIONS.

3 hours and 52 mins in, didnt get to finish all of them but i have 5(?) pages and the mistakes i have to go back to left.

*deep breath* I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT I CAM DO IT I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IY I CAN DO IT *exhale*

may i get more sans chronic pain headcanon lore pls

Absolutely!!!

Sans has chronic pain because his SOUL is weaker than normal and has to work harder to keep him up and about, due to the way he was created (Read here for context on that). Since monsters are made of magic, and their SOULs create that magic to keep them physical and healthy, a SOUL that creates less or weaker magic leads to a monster with less physical strength, or in severe cases like Sans, general chronic pain.

If/when he overexerts himself (which is easy for him to do, since his tolerance threshold for exercise and just general exertion is lower than most monsters) the pain gets worse, as the SOULs sort of self-regulation tactic to get him to stop doing that so it can recuperate. Essentially, when he does anything that's too strenuous, his SOUL downs him so that it can rebuild its magic stores again. He can push through that pain if he needs to, but if he does it'll be twice as bad afterwards, and he'll take twice as long to recover.

Ironically, teleporting takes less magical exertion for him than walking long distances does, which is why he likes to use his shortcuts to get most places. (Teleporting is easy for him because he's very practiced in it, and doesn't take a lot of magical energy unless he's going really far, versus walking, which takes the energy of moving all his limbs and joints and his equivalent of breathing and heart rate etc etc; essentially, walking is a lot more moving parts compared to just 'taking a shortcut')

He also gets migraines because he has really awful vision in his right eye; He can only see light and movement in that eye, which puts strain on his brain (does he have a brain?? Whatever the skeleton magical equivalent is) that leads to migraines. Could probably be mitigated if he wore an eyepatch or sunglasses or something but he's got an issue with trying to present like he's 'normal' because he doesn't want people to perceive his weaknesses and possibly take advantage of them (he has a general distrust for most people).

Similarly, he would probably benefit from a wheelchair or similar mobility aids, but since Papyrus just carries him around most of the time why bother. (plus, then, it's seen as more of a cute sibling dynamic rather than dealing with pitying glances from strangers)

Papyrus also has pain & vision issues, also because of the way he was created, but not as bad as Sans, and he deals with it differently. But that's a topic for a different post! (here's Papyrus Vision too though, since I made it anyway)

I hope you enjoyed this little ramble! I had fun writing it! Feel free to send in more questions if you have any :)

So firstly, I would like to say

FUCK U UK SUPREME COURT

YOU PIECES OF ABSITE FUCKING SHIT

WTF ARE YOU DOING

For those of you who don’t know what im talking about,

So basically 

you might not have heard of the UK Supreme Court decision stating that trans women are not women under the Equality act, which effectively sets the UK 50 years back in terms of queer progression. They stated that a woman is based on their biological sex, which rules out transgenderism in general.

This is a dire effect not just on trans women, but British women and queers. If you are a British citizen, please sign this petition to appeal this ruling and fight for equality, and if not, please share with others. Thank you.

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender.

We believe the government should change legislation to make it easier for trans people of all ages to change their legal gender without an o

And for those of you who arent British citizens,

You can still share this post

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
