#TRIUMPHANTTHURSDAY-UNSUNGHERO-Part-3 -V4U Trust Prakash & Team:

hi! can you talk more about how the yellow mealworm beetle can be used to dispose of plastic and styrofoam? i just think that's so neat :)

I sure can!

Basically, researchers at Stanford University found that mealworms (the larval stage of the YMB) are able to consume and digest polystyrene; specifically styrofoam used for packing and insulation. This means that they're able to break down polystyrene while still being safe to use as a food source for other animals like chickens (Link 1). However, it should be noted that the styrofoam tested contained a toxic substance often used as fire retardant, and the mealworms excreted that substance in their waste. So if mealworms were to be used for large-scale polystyrene disposal, a seperate system would have to be in place for safely removing those toxins from the environment following their excretion. There are also concerns that the excretions contain microplastics-- partially digested plastics that would then be consumed and build up in other animals (link 2).

In short, mealworms provide a promising path for reducing polystyrene pollution, but they aren't a perfect solution yet.

oh ymb god fucking. okay. i just saw a tiktok that was like, being open and being vulnerable are two different things. Because telling someone that you're upset or are going through something upsetting, thats being open, but getting into the why and your actual feelings on the matter, thats being vulnerable, like. that's the difference and now im realizing we basically never see Jay be vulnerable with Jon even while he's open with him. like, jay tells jon all the upsetting shit he goes/went through, but he never goes into specifics about how it makes him feel?

like im clicking through the soke issues, and im trying to pin a single moment where jay outright expresses his feelings, and every moment I was counting as him being vulnerable is actually just him being open. My thoughts was the opening to AOSJK and the opening to SOKE 7 maybe would count, but nope, both instances he abstracts his own feelings and pulls back the upsetting situation to Jon’s feelings

Ive been trying to word Jay's weird dual-nature when it comes to being emotional and honest with Jon for AGES, that strange fucking contrast between jay telling jon his backstory on the first date vs. jay not being able to express when hes sad and. THIS IS IT. Jay is OPEN but not VULNERABLE

Monath módaes lust mith meriflóda forth ti foeran thaet ic feorr hionan obaer gaarseggaes grimmae holmas aelbuuina eard uut gisoecae. Nis me ti hearpun hygi ni ti hringthegi ni ti wíbae wyn ni ti weoruldi hyct ni ymb oowict ellaes nebnae ymb ýtha giwalc.

My soul’s desire over the sea-torrents forth bids me fare, that I afar should seek over the ancient water’s awful mountains Elf-friends’ island in the Outer-world. For no harp have I heart, no hand for gold, in no wife delight, in the world no hope: one wish only, for the waves’ tumult.

MB, MB, YMB - Chapter 11 : Die Stille - A Little Life Fanfic

"If he was being honest, he didn’t really think Laurence was going to be opposed to him and Julia adopting Jude. He knew Laurence liked Jude and had been impressed by him. But he, as he always had since the day they met, wanted to know what Laurence would think. "

WE ARE BACK !!!!!! AFTER AN IMPROMPTU HIATUS WE ARE BACKKKKKKK !!!

if this post gets even a single like I'll post my long unhinged theory + evidence as to why I fully believe brienne is 100% unequivocally the YMB.

"Eh byþ for eorlum æþelinga wyn, hors hofum wlanc, ðær him hæleþ ymb[e] welege on wicgum wrixlaþ spræce and biþ unstyllum æfre frofur."

Horse is a joy to princes in the presence of warriors. A steed in the pride of its hoofs, when rich men on horseback bandy words about it, and it is ever a source of comfort to the restless.

-Old Anglo-Saxon rune poem

okau nini propel in my phoen. pray for ymb handa recoveirng overnigt. ow.

lov u huys

in my head: where the Hell is the word seed on this album [starts checking them off….] not the singles not YMB not Sleepwalk not ….. oh come on [stares at Inamorata] it’s you. isn’t it.

despair. i’ve actually only listened to it 3 times. because it causes me to physically implode. too much to bare. the thought of it all….

*pat pats*

I mean, i know my head wanted to connected dots just to connect them, bc James uses seed as a metaphor/simile quite enough, it's in his repertoire. He uses it even in interviews.

The funny thing is that the first other song that came to my mind after hearing "seed" was not the obvious one, the one with seed in the title.

No, sir.

It was, of course, Bleeding me.

And how could I not? When Innamorata sounds like that, feels like that, is a song like that--

I don't blame you, brain. I don't.

ok miren se acuerdan que yo tiro a veces ideas que tengo para libros y fanfics acá tengo unos medievales/históricos/de fantasia tipo de onda que creo que una ya la tiré acá but i digress

1. sirena/pirata. la hija de un capitán pirata bien misógino y abusivo que la quiere a la hija pero ymb es un misógino hijo de puta la re trauma y ella es medio blanda pero capaz y encima se banca los bifes pero también es muy manipulable porque está entre querer la aprobación del padre y querer matarlo a sangre fría. un dia van y secuestran una sirena por razones y ma sirena aprovecha que esta boluda es debil de mente y corazón para manipularla asi la deja libre pero se empieza a divertir un poco y olvidate el capitán se da cuenta y ahí empieza el ballet cosmico donde le rompen el cerebro a la querida protagonista que bueno termina todo mal planeo que sean 2. en el segundo ls piba ya es mas viva.

2. pibita grandota de pendeja es llevada a entrenar con soldados solo porque es mujer y en esta sociedad super patriarcal el hermano mayor de la princesa y actual heredero am trono tiene com altos mambos con la hermana y no la quiere cerca de hombres. primer libro es tipo entrenamiento y después dama de compañía/guardia para la princesa en medio de las hormonas adolescentes. se re enamoran pero hacen poco y nada. el reino/imperio esta a 2 gritos de una guerra y ambas toman ideas no contrarias pero si muy ehhh complicadas. cuales? no se no lo escribí todavía. está empezado eso si. termina del orto.segundo libro viene con timeskip y drama belico y un lovers tl enemies tre men do. libro tres se desvirtúa todo es un final justo pero no terminan juntas. es posible que a una la ejecuten. sigue en progreso y es posible que sea mas. depende de si consigo hacerme una casa o no.

3. este es mas tranky es sobre una sicaria durante renacimiento que la mandan a matar a un x y en el paso se enamora de una que el se esta cogiendo. lección general--> la venganza nunca es buena mata el alma y la envenena arys stark

4. hay dragones y elfos y toda la sarasa es lo único que tengo x ahora

5. buenos aires pero a mediados del 1700s. misterio. tenemos una detective y su Watson farolero twink en vez de resolviendo crimenes para la elite escondiendolos asi no los atrapan por guita. a desarrollar
