I Learned That Binghamton University Researchers Have Been Working On A Self-healing Concrete That Uses

where the superhero and villain have a common friend that they have to hold it together for

“claire is getting married next week”

“i can reschedule the death ray”

“OH CAN YOU?” 

nothing can beat that recycled stained glass aesthetic

members of the chain (?)! blue and buts!

I heard that there were people making ocs for the chain and I’m slight temptation

Jester with a few different hairstyles

tagged by: @mecasloth

nicknames: lou, lissy-lou, loucifer

zodiac sign: Aquarius-Pisces cusp (tbh I’m on the cusp of pretty much every single one of these type of pseudo personality tests, which I find funny)

height: 5’something shorty

hogwarts house: Strong Ravenclaw roots, but growing ever more Slytherin

last thing googled: shadow walk pathfinder

favorite musicians: Not sure I have a specific favorite, but some notable musicians who harken back to specific times in my past are probably folks like Evanescence, Fall Out Boy, etc. One of my current/newer favs may be Grandson. And I’m always down for Disney.

following: 17

followers: 15

do i get asks: nope

amount of sleep: 6-9 hrs, usually try to stay closer to 9 but some days it just doesn’t quite get there

lucky numbers: 9, 19

wearing: Empire Strikes Back t-shirt, just shear enough to barely show a cute bralette, tucked into a pair of ripped mom jeans

dream job: renaissance polymath - so I can do it all; in reality I’m trying to figure out how to find time for all the random hobbies I want to do while having a career in both science and writing

instruments: took piano lessons and did violin for a hot second when I was younger - but as a child I didn’t really like taking direction, so I never got very far

languages: English and random words I mispronounce from other languages

favorite songs: umm, well it really depends on the week I guess… I listen to everything from heavy metal, to rap, to show tunes, and all things in between. Right now I’m on a bit of a classic rock kick specifically Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody and AC/DC - Back in Black and the like

random fact: Damascus steel - an ancient and mythic metal, which to this day is still not able to be recreated only mimicked - has it’s incredible properties due to the presence of carbon nanotubes and cementite nanowires; tangentially ruby glass (aka glass that is the color red) has it’s color due to gold nanoparticles

aesthetic: pretty eclectic - clothing style changes day by day, everything else is an amalgamation of all sorts. I guess some current vibes are marble statues paired with neon lights; hands and eyes; and anything that’s a wink towards my nerdy interests.

Not gonna put anybody on the spot here; but if you’re inspired go for it!

My chain OC, since it’s about time I finally made one!

Name: Oak.

Human female ranger (the second best ranger, thanks very much), mid 50′s. Face like a gnarled oak, hence the name. Stronger than she looks, and loves to complain. Every time she’s asked, she has a different story about her life before The Chain. Serves in the Advancers, as a scout. Or at least, she did. But right now, she’s making her way from Blackbottom to Capital.

Shout out to @wojtekbc for being a damn pillar of this community. Also @fisyx @xynnos @zarozinia and @hubbleablubble for doing cool featured art.

the Spartan desire to be simultaneously proud of your identity while also wanting the luxury of being invisible in public space, not because you are ashamed but because you are othered, is analogous to the struggle for queer visibility. in this essay I will

I went through a mimic phase a while back :D
