ok listen as a kid i thought science had to be super rigorous 100% exact all the time but it turns out at high levels it is all approximations all the time, theres not really a point to this post i just want to spread awareness of something we have to do

the equation for force on a spring is pretty well known, kx^2 (quadratic, goes with the square of the distance). the graph looks like this

here comes part one of the bullshit: theres a mathematical technique called a taylor expansion where you can take any equation (as long as it doesnt do a few mathematically rude things) and turn it into a bunch of polynomials (a+bx+cx^2+dx^3), which makes things a lot mathematically simpler

part two of the bullshit: if you zoom in real small you can ignore most of the latter terms, so its basically just a x^2 equation

so basically if you draw any goddamn squiggle and zoom in REAL close it looks like a parabola and therefore any REALLY small thing acts like a spring

atoms in a molecule. bumps on a road. electrons in an atom (before you get to the nasty stuff). just now i was thinking about bubble wrap. a weight on a pendulum. probably, like, interpersonal relationships. its all springs. boing

I guess this is a sorta Mt Olympus / Gods and Goddesses au? That was born from the fact that my vision of Istus had a lot in common with my Taako/Lup designs. So Kravitz is the God of Death, son of the Queen of the Afterlife. Taako and Lup are the twin Deities of Balance, children of the Goddess of Fate.

(Plotty plot is that the two goddesses have been friends for centuries, and always promised that their firstborn children would marry. Lup is technically older than Taako but Taako is the one who falls in love with Kravitz while she falls for his Lich attendant :)

edit: Not saying there’ll be a full fic but now there’s a prologue

PSA: If you are Jewish and you need a menorah and candles, contact your nearest Chabad house and they will give you one for free or at most extremely cheap.

People have already dug up and begun circling this post again for this year, but here it is again.

Another thing! If you live in a college dorm that has a policy against candles being lit in the rooms, and you want to light a menorah for Chanukah, seek out help advocating yourself from your local Chabad, Hillel, or other assorted Jewish organization. They know how to deal with this stuff and will help you work on a compromise with school officials. You have a right to celebrate Chanukah.

for those of you in dorms or other places where open flames are banned, and who aren’t super religious and are ok with a flameless solution, electric menorahs are a Thing and there are a few that aren’t /too/ expensive.
