what if I made my final project for a college class arguing my immortal’s cultural merit as a piece of digital folklore… haha just kidding… unless???
update 2: well i gave my presentation in full Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way cosplay
and enough people were intrigued by the greater My Immortal mythos that my professor asked me if I would be interested in doing a second, longer presentation about the authorship debate and the background Harry Potter fanfiction community drama
You’re going to accidentally get a masters in understanding bad fiction.
the funniest thing about Overwatch is how it plays itself so serious despite its handful of lore scraps all being the most ridiculous shit you’ve ever heard
-The world’s most dangerous terrorist was defeated and arrested after he got punched in the face by a gorilla
-instead of soldiers, South Korea trusts the defense of its entire country to like 6 teenage gamers
-the entire Overwatch organization fell because two gay men couldn’t settle an argument without blowing up a fucking building
-after it got discovered she was performing unethical and illegal human experiments on Overwatch’s dime, the resident geneticist got to walk away with a slap on the wrist and go join a terrorist organization
-one of the heads of the org faked her own death and now can’t come back because she committed insurance fraud
-one of the greatest hackers in the world was bested by a lady just knocking on doors and asking locals the hacker’s real name
-the arguably most powerful human being in the universe is a confused old man who likes to sing about stroopwaffels
dont forget the robot who achieved enlightenment and got magic that can make you feel good or give you depression. the same magic that the disgraced scientist spent decades on trying to emulate in the form of slime
I had some other work to do this morning (Figuring out some algae stuff involving 1000 L mesocosm up a mountain) so mystery species has been sitting alone in the lab all morning…..
Made it up to the lab today to find this. It’s probably from the fridge defrosting and not the creepy “algae”.
June 13th Update.
According to a few colleagues it’s either a plant, an algae, or a fungi. So that’s been helpful.
After a day with some sunlight I think I might be seeing some chloroplasts.
It seems to like the nutrient solution I added yesterday though!
I for one welcome our new plant, algae, or fungi overlords.
I was about to say “in a sensible lab people wouldn’t waste time with this, they’d autoclave the bottles and move on” but on reflection I can’t think of a single bio lab I’ve been in that wouldn’t immediately go “ooh, mystery algae, that sounds like a fun challenge; let’s devote multiple hours to identifying it for no reason”.
I need updates tell me about the algae
The mystery algae/plant/fungi/alien is stuck in the university growth chamber. With everything going on I probably won’t get to check in on it until September, possibly not until 2021.
So by that time it will have developed what, writing?
God I hope so, then I can train it to write my thesis!
This entire post is the most on-brand biologist thing I have seen in my entire godforsaken life. The moment this pandemic is over these guys have another crisis ready for us.
Can we get an update cause this is crazy
Update: Due to the global pandemic, the algae has been left alone in a weird hidden growth chamber for a year and will likely stay there for another year. Enjoy that information!
