I've been doing research into radiation, and I think Cherenkov effect is the closest to what we experience when shifting.

We draw energy to our diodes, there is a sudden flash of light, and then the reaction begins. I've never been able to shift using that means, but from what my headmates say, the shift continues from here.

Cherenkov effect doesn't describe it fully- there is still a lot that we don't do, such as glow blue, but it's a pretty good description of what happens to us.

So you said to like, uhhhh infodump. In the askbox if I finished reading your dni, or tell you abt my fav weather. But my current hyperfixation is the Chernobyl PowerPoint explosion in Ukraine, Pripyat. It makes me do happy taps with my feet :3 okay so I’ll share with you one fact about the explosion and then I’ll be done.

-in Ukraine Pripyat, April 26, 1986, because workers tend to be overworked in such settings, something was missed in the rundown of the machine and people went home. The next morning, when they went to check on it they’d found the core reactor on, and dangerously overheated, so heated that the water they used to cool down the core reactor (which was the part that was heated) evaporated all of the cold water. Bam, pipes burst, pressure built, and since there was no remotely safe way to turn it off, it exploded. (This is my favorite part) When scientists discovered The Elephants Foot (otherwise known as corium, a highly radiated form of energy, left over from the gas they’d used to heat the core reactor) they couldn’t get anywhere near it because of how radioactive and dangerous it is.

OKAY IM DONE THANK YOU. (Someone correct me if I got anything wrong please, it’s been a while since I’ve indulged in this specific hyperfixation/special interest (I use special interest bc I think I’m autistic but not entirely sure I’m sorry))

Yooo! This is super cool ngl! /gen

favourite cutscene — A falling star, right before our eyes! I can’t fathom how Radahn was holding back something of that scale. He was a living legend, if ever I saw one.

i cant find NEARLY enough radiation themed blinkes so i made some myself

I really liked to work on them:D

How'd Augusta end up being radioactive? :o

A second chance.

// suicidal themes below

Augusta originally worked as a part time astronaut at a Star Depot, which collected star Fragments and sent them back to earth to be used as fuel similar to nuclear power.

Augusta wasn’t really in a good place at the time while working there. She never had any kind of big ambition in life and wanted to live life peacefully, but knew that “getting by” isn’t enough for her to survive. People around her kept expecting so much of her that she didn’t know what to tell them.

Working as an astronaut helps take her mind off things at first, but then she starts to feel worse. She doesn’t get invited out to things, but she doesn’t really make any effort to try, and relatives are asking how she’s doing and she doesn’t know what to tell them without it turning into a lecture. and over time it piles up

First she starts asking for more shifts handling and shipping the stars. Then she asks to do overtime. And finally one day she finds a tiny Fragment on the floor.

The thing about Fragments is that they change your body and can make you very sick if youre near them for too long.

Tomorrow would be a holiday and the building would be closed. The Shift manager, who promised to close up, left early for drinks with coworkers. So she was the only employee working.

So she picks up the star and swallows it expecting to die. But instead her hair turns pink and the dust around her floats, and when she breathes no air comes out. The Star fused to her body and latched to her heart.

Basically, her suicide attempt gave her her own way to live and pink hair as a bonus lol

Here’s what her hair looked like before and after The Incident <3

how i feel when in the middle of the night I think about the time I wrote Liquid having a 12 inch ding dong shlong without knowing that's VERY MUCH above average (bcs im a girl kisser) and accidently giving him a third leg

every night it’s a virtuous cycle

Back in 2021, a friend gave me the prompt "a Dalek with all of your least favorite design choices". That's what this monstrosity is!

Thinking about how bad humans are at being scared of radioactive materials... thinking about how touching a pretty and curious rock can kill you... thinking about Goiânia... thinking about how I've seen several instances of people posting pictures of radioactive materials in their hands they didn't yet know were going to cost them part of said hand...

Never ever open metal capsules without knowing exactly what's in them and why it's in there and that it's safe to open it. Please.

ppl will go “i’d notice if society was going to sacrifice a marginalised group of people and if they said that it’s ok that a bunch of people would die then i would stand against it” and then they’ll hear people saying “well only disabled and vulnerable people will die of covid” and go “yes this is normal and ok and fine”
