Blue hair in Fire Emblem and how it concerns Alfonse and Lif
I have always wondered how it is that humans do not posses the coloration some other animals do and how they exist in Fire Emblem and how that may be possible.
The concept of Structural Pigmentation or Coloration is not very new to me, but I have just put two and two together and come to the realization of how this affects Alfonse and Lif. And a very sad realization it was.
For those who do not know what Structural Coloration is here's the explanation as it is shown in Wikipedia:
Structural coloration in animals, and a few plants, is the production of color by microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light instead of pigments, although some structural coloration occurs in combination with pigments.
It is said that blue as a pigment is very hard to find in nature and that most birds and butterflies that display this color is due to this kind of structure that traps the blue light and therefore makes the feathers look blue. So in truth the feathers are a different color but look blue to us.
My theory is that blue hair in Fire Emblem is this way. The hair on our blue hair characters is truly not blue but it looks that way because somehow the structure of their hair makes us see it that way.
If this is true this may explain why Alfonse has blond tips in his hair and Lif has silver tips in his hair.
The explanation being that Alfonse is actually blond and the structure of his hair makes it look blue but for the tips that are different in texture than the rest of his hair.
Now you may see where I am going with this, but if not let me tell you the rest. Lif as Alfonse had his blond hair (with his blue structural coloration) but went through such an ordeal that his hair turned white (silver). Although he still retained the blue from the Structural Coloration the tips are seen as silver now.
Now we all know what happened to Lif but day after day I understand his pain more and more and this just another proof of the horror he had to endure. I wonder if IS knew what they were doing or if this is just mere coincidence but the effect and impact it had on me is very great.
Now I just want to hug him even more.

Nacli appreciation post
Tumblr media
Nacli, the rock salt Pokémon, I adored him the moment I saw him, and his name made him even better. NaCl is the chemical formula for salt, which makes its name super cute!
However, this is not even the best part about Nacli, his little salt crystals are cubic! Which is the natural structure of table salt! If you wanted to prove this, you could always take a large piece of Himalayan salt that you see for sale in department stores all the time and break it. It should cleave in right angles if not produce a perfect cube!
Tumblr media
The last super exciting thing to see in the design of this Pokémon is that the rock that is making up the round body of Nacli is actually layered! this is really neat to see because salt deposits are typically found in sedimentary rocks (more specifically, they are usually found in dried ocean beds) and sedimentary rocks are known to have layers! Here is a picture of a core that was taken from a salt mine for reference. Anyway, end appreciation post.

I am using this place to write about all of the stuff that happens to me, and hopefully keep track of my progress at school! Below are just a couple of things about me :)
Things I like
Videogames - usually on nintendo switch, in particular I like untitled goose game, stardew valley, animal crossing, and minecraft.
Reading - I am currently in the middle of the two towers (lotr). I have read frankenstein, dracula, the hunger games, and many other books.
Science - I am a huge chemistry geek.
Cats - my family have three cats, all of whom are very cute.
Rain, thunderstorms, cold weather - the feeling of being cosy in a cold environment is very nice!
Anime/ manga - I don’t watch much anime or read much manga, but I like demon slayer/ kimetsu no yaiba a lot :)
If we have any common interests then let me know! I would love to talk to someone about these :D

J'ai décidé de me lancer sur un projet personnel depuis le début de ce mois-ci; j'ai crée un fanart d'un ennemie original du jeu vidéo Helldivers 2 Un jeu coopératif scie-fie satirique/parodie du studio Arrowhead. La deuxieme partie viendra bientot! Comment le gameplay fonctionne et une fausse screenshot!
---- I decided to create an original enemy fanart since the beginning of this month from the video game Helldivers 2😊 A satiric/parody scie-fie co-op game from Arrowhead studio. The second part will come soon where I explain more in detail about how it gameplay works and a false screenshot!
Cheers,
Annie-Claude
