I Love Cis People Cause When I Say “when I Used To Be A Girl…” They Go “mhmm…. But Also…..

This one got me good 🤣

Biologist here, it depends on HOW her hair works.

Does it still actively use the light as its power comes from the sun? And if yes, does the haircolor affect the absorbation of the light?Or is it only important that the hair isnt damaged/destroyed.

Lets just assume it can repair itself to a degree (otherwise stuff like split ends wouldve ended it long ago). How far can that go? Cutting seems to destroy it, so lets assume that for some reason, the hairs act like one big cell that gets destroyed by cutting.

Small attacks to its outer side will propably be able to be repaired, however damage that is done on wide areas will propably not be tolerated.

This brings me to the conclusion that stuff like bleach will destroy her power because of the structural destruction. Same goes for perms.

However, if it is true that the hair does not need to actively use the sun, semi permanent hairdye shouldnt be a problem and permanent hairdye could also be fine as long as youre careful and make sure the damage isnt too intense.

Having my nightly ADHD moment so bear with me:

If Rapunzel were to dye her hair, would the chemicals affect the magical properties of her hair?

This is taking into account the fact that her magic derives from the sun essentially, which then becomes a flower. Taking those chemicals into account, if we were to interact those chemicals with the chemicals of hair dye combined with hair as is, I’m just wondering what the effects would be.

I’m no chemist; in fact I almost failed chemistry. So if someone who knows chemistry could help me out here that’d be great!

EDIT: my discord friends are bringing up great points such as hair damage and how it varies.

There's no "wrong" way to live YOUR life! The only important thing is that you are happy.

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

So i'm a biology student, and a lot of the time, the technical language is actually so that the scientific research is understandable to a WIDER audience.

For example, in chemistry, there is a verry specific system in how you name molecules. To people who are not scientists, it will sound like wordvomit. However, to other scientists its 100% understandable. And because everyone around the world uses the same vocabulary, research papers can be uses by everyone to help with THEIR research, so its way easier to educate yourself AS a scientists and to find evidence supporting your work (or showing that its wrong).

If you're not a scientist and you care about the research, that's what science journals are for. They take the research and put it into common words so that you dont have to have a degree in nomenclature to understand whats going on.

The whole “scientists use big words on purpose to be exclusive” is such a bunch of anti-intellectual bullshit. Specific and concise language exists for a reason; you need the right words to convey the right meaning, and explaining stuff right is a hugely important part of science. Cultures that live around loads of snow have loads of words to describe different types of snow; cultures that live in deserts have loads of words to describe different types of sand. Complex language is needed for complex meaning.

I had an amazing Biology teacher who we all assumed was a failed scientists.

He was OBSESSED with mushrooms.

He once randomly whipped out a bunch of champignons that he bought at the supermarket next door and continued yapping about them for 30 mins straight.

Our chapter was the processing of optical signals.

I wish more people were outraged about this. More people should be. In the span of what? A month? Netflix has not only cancelled Dead Boy Detectives, an incredible show with great acting, writing, film quality, etc... and characters that are queer, but they've announced a "modern retelling" of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, you know, the book that was so gay it was used as evidence in the author's sodomy trial, and they have chosen to make Basil and Dorian Gray siblings. I have seen so little talk about it, because people are feeling exhausted and defeated, but you know what? Exhausted silence only sends the message to this bloody company that they can continue to do this type of shit and nothing bad will come of it because people don't care enough to fight back. What choice do we have but to fight? We have to fight and show people that we won't tolerate this kind of thing. Dead Boy Detectives was a brilliant show, and this isn't the first time such an incident has happened. Dorian Gray does not deserve this atrocious "modern retelling". I am sick of being met with silence and really, it's overdue that we let these companies know how exactly they can fuck off. I so desperately want to see given to these works the same treatment that people gave to OFMD when it got cancelled. No one else is going to do it for you. Not enough people realise how strong their individual voice can be if they stand up and shout it out. Let's show these companies what fucking happens when they pull these kinds of stunts. Every action has a consequence.

“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do 

Make her shorter if you must

Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward
