IMPORTANT BUGWORLD NEWS !!

radiation resistant moths :3

(Spodoptera frugiperda/fall armyworm and Helicoverpa armigera/cotton bollworm).

unfortunately for the radiation goblins, these little guys are pests who eat crops. so we've got some neat competition going if the radiation-goblins decide to take up agriculture. i really want to look up chernobyl and such to see what actually settled there but might be a starting point for insect evolution in the radiation-blasted regions

on other wilder bugworld news i think it would be neat if we got a hermit-crab-like creature who basically parasitises the machine army. exploits some weakness to get inside the machines and uses them as a shell

(bugworld is from this post by @skitter-queen and I dumped my nilbog goblin spec evo thoughts here!! please look at my goblins they eat radiation and have ssooooo many genes :] their lore is updated since the first post)

#i also want to start thinking about parts of bugworld other than. the radiation #but radiation... is cool...#bugworld #worm #wormblr #machine army #machine army is actually probably fucking up the radiation plains too... maybe my pacifist radiation goblins are unrealistic

I got a Geiger counter!

Let’s look through my collection for some Spicy Rocks! I’ve never deliberately collected radioactive specimens, so I have no idea what I’m going to find.

First, though, let’s test the baseline level of radiation in my house.

It’s fun to hear the Geiger counter click as it detects radiation. 20 counts per minute. Nice! You’re unlikely to ever see a count of zero, as pretty much everything in the world, including the human body, gives off a little bit of radiation.

20 is a normal baseline, nothing to be concerned about. Standing in my house, I’m getting a radiation dose of about 0.00013 milliseieverts per hour - or a little over one mSv a year. This is an average yearly dosage of radiation for people in my country, and is something my body can easily process. For context, a dosage of 100 mSv would slightly increase my risk of cancer, and a dosage of 1000 mSv would immediately give me radiation sickness.

But enough about these boring, safe amounts of radiation. I want to see some spice! Let’s check over by the Rock Wall!

Hm, I’d expected the CPM to be noticeably higher around my rock collection, but I’m getting nothing! Even testing each individual rock, nothing’s more than a few ticks above the baseline. So far, my fancy new toy is looking like wasted money. :c

WAIT! THERE!! 62 CPM! That’s three times higher than the base reading in the rest of my house!!! YESSS!! THIS ROCK IS SPICY!!!!

Here’s the rock that’s setting off my Geiger counter. (Yes I’m touching the spicy rock with my bare hands, don’t worry about it.)

This fossil, which is as big as my head, is part of the femur bone of a Megalonyx, a North American giant ground sloth!

These huge animals could grow as big as ten feet tall. They lived alongside humans during the last ice age, and it’s theorized that humans may have hunted them to extinction. This particular fossil was found in a phosphate mine!

Why is it radioactive? Because... sometimes fossils are just radioactive! They spend a lot of time in the ground, which is full of radioactive minerals, and often radiation just gets all up in there. There are some fossils on display in museums which are so radioactive that they have to be coated with lead paint for the safety of curators and museum-goers! Compared to those, this femur bone is barely radioactive at all.

So is it really safe for me to have this in my house, much less handle it with my bare hands? Well, yeah! Remember, despite having this spicy rock in my collection, the radiation baseline in my house is completely normal. Here’s why.

Even just a few centimeters away from this specimen, the Geiger counter’s reading is halved. A few inches away, and it can’t detect any radiation at all. It basically has to be directly touching the rock to get an abnormal reading. Which means I also have to be touching the rock to receive a meaningful amount of radiation exposure.

But even holding this rock in my hands, I’m only getting a dosage of about 0.0004 mSv per hour. If I never let go of this rock for an entire year, I would get a dose of about 3.5 mSv. Which is... still completely within the safe threshold for my body to process. Nothing to worry about!

Man, I gotta start collecting some spicier rocks.

A light too powerful to withstand

You ever think about the trope where you can’t see an angel’s face is because it’s not just light they’re emitting but also The Whole Entire Electromagnetic Spectrum?

The thing about Ludinus is that yes, he does have a very high INT score but he is in fact stupid. He is a particular brand of stupid that I like to call Wizard Stupid, which is related to but not identical to Wizard Hubris. Wizard Hubris is the vision; Wizard Stupid is the realization.

Wizard Hubris is excessive confidence that is derived from the fact that one is a wizard, and therefore obviously knows everything, probably even more than the gods. Wizard Stupid is then carrying out the plans derived from Wizard Hubris without any kind of safety net. Where Wizard Hubris says "There is nothing beyond my capabilities"; Wizard Stupid says "No consequences can touch me." Wizard Hubris is building the Tower of Babel; Wizard Stupid is leaning one ladder on top of another ladder to do so. Wizard Hubris is the belief that you can, and indeed, are entitled, to fuck around. Wizard Stupid is the unshakeable belief that you will not be subjected to finding out.

So: let's look at Caleb. Caleb is FULL of Wizard Hubris for most of Campaign 2, given that he desires to reconfigure the time-space continuum, but except for a few relatively rare occasions, he is not terribly Wizard Stupid. He actually tends to be extremely cautious, and the cases in which he indulges the Wizard Stupidity are relatively self-contained (eg: the emerald).

Yussa, meanwhile, has few grand designs and mostly wants to hang out and fuck with the gentrification and political cronyism of Nicodranas, and honestly, good for him, seems totally reasonable. However, he does think that the Archmage's Bane is not referring to him (archmage) and that Astral Projection, a totally standard high level wizard's spell well within his abilities without any need for hubris, will carry no risk if he then decides to check out a little place called Cognouza.

Of course, many wizards have both. It's actually pretty rare to be mostly one or the other (which is why Caleb and Yussa are used for illustrative purposes). It's also pretty rare to have neither; Allura is the closest, and even she has her moments. Some degree of Wizard Hubris and Stupid do come packaged with the act of being a wizard.

Ludinus, obviously has both; he is, basically, building the Tower of Babel and he is, canonically, violating a list of safety protocols that rivals the length of a CVS receipt. And so: the hubris is "I can, should, must, and will blow up the moon that imprisons a god-eating abomination"; the stupid is sticking his fucking arm in the machine to power it.

#highly recommend watching the Mr. Show blow up the moon sketch btw #also highly recommend reading about how the vast majority of lethal radiation accidents occur #hint. it's highly trained people sometimes with phds in physics being like. well *I* am too cool and smart for safety #critical role #Ludinus Da'leth

duke, heading into the kitchen:

doug, watching from the couch as the kitchen suddenly starts lighting up like someone is arc welding in there:

duke, walking out with a steaming mug of tea:

doug, turning to elaine who is doing a sudoku with her legs thrown over his lap: "your son-"

elaine, raising an eyebrow: "My son?"

doug: "He's your son when he does something freaky."

#duke thomas #doug thomas #elaine thomas #batfam #bread talk #i just saw that tea post get circulated as batfam members and i was thinking about microwaves #microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation and therefore fall under duke's power set #reminder that not only can duke melt your dna he can also cook u like a hot dog #light powers are so fucking cool #anyway point being i want duke to try to fucking boil water with his powers #he doesn't put the cup noodles in the microwave anymore because he Is the microwave #this will probably also work its way into the wip im writing rn

I accidentally came up with a really interesting fallout raider gang idea.

"the Radders" a group of raiders who are entirely ghouls and robots. Who use exclusively radiation based weaponry, and like to cover their base n stuff in radioactive substances. They arent fully associated with the children of atom, but they are allied, and trade things like weapons and radioactive substances. In other words, like 3 ghouls and an assaultron, all covered in a bunch of like, jars filled with nuclear waste, and metal armor painted yellow with the nuke symbol on it, show up, and start attacking you with machetes covered in a glowing green goo, and radium rifles. Their leader is a non-feral glowing one ghoul, and they have a pet sentry bot named Raddison.
