Day 25 - Petrify
Do you think it was a slow process or could they just draw her really fast
It was alive and kicking
A small lizard-like predator called Brevicaudosaurus jiyangshanensis have been suddenly petrified.
If you take a good look to the creatures you notice that they were swimming at the time when the petrification happened. notice the position of the head and neck. According to my hypothesis this happened instantly according to a cosmic event that a sudden cosmic force caused that instant petrification. The water turned to silica due to a sudden change in the atomic structure. The surrounding rock also is solidified water that went through the same process. The rock doesn’t seem to happen layer after layer that took a long time it just happened instantly just frozen in time.

If I could curl up in a ball and turn to stone as soon as possible that would be ideal thank you
So I’m working on this Hetalia/Harry Potter crossover that might not actually be written and a part of it is set in chamber of secrets and I had a thought/question about the workings of the basilisk’s gaze and its killing/petrifying properties
Cause, it’s stare petrifies you if you indirectly look it in the eyes right and we’re shown a few different ways this plays out, like seeing its reflection or looking at it through a ghost
And then there’s Colin Creevey
He sees the basilisk through the lens of his camera. Now, in the book we don’t actually find out what kind of camera he’s using, but I think it’s safe to say that it has a viewfinder (aka that little thing photographers look through to see what they’re photographing). Now, from how I understand it, that viewfinder is really just a lens. Colin Creevey survived looking a basilisk in the eye by seeing it through a lens
So, theoretically, you should be able to survive a basilisks killing gaze by... wearing glasses?
