This Is How That Scene Went Right

im a doctor

i coulda sworn I posted here but i guess not!

hi everybody, i just finished my dissertation in a physical science and have been recovering from the academic burnout by... *checks notes* doing more work via job search activities! that makes a lot of sense.

i have the rest of this chapter of light between shadows thumbnailed more or less, and the script for the whole thing has been done for a while. and the urge to draw is returning like feeling coming back to numb fingers. enough that i also joined the silliest 4-round comic tournament with this thing

so those may also pop up along the way. enjoy.

I found out about Mari Lwyd not so long time ago - and I fell in love with the concept. Here are some of my Lwyd arts I drew recently! The most recent art is here

taking a whack at these for funsies

π - Im guessing complex analysis but pi is used in so many things from the area of a circle to QFT that you could honestly pick two things from any of it and say this about them.

Δ - notably referring to a change in quantity due to an object being in a different state. Your ball was 10C, now it's 20C. ΔT = 10C. along with pi one of the first symbols you get familiar with

δ - Dirac delta or Kronecker delta. This is "change" if the "change" only lasted for an infinitesimally small, perfectly instantaneous moment. Handy for modeling point-like things such as atomic nuclei in quantum mechanics.

θ - i culd b ur angle or ur.... Heavidise step function. definitely not just circles.

ϕ - I was gonna say "NOT JUST ORBS" but everything basically boils down to spherical harmonics or is rotationally symmetric so you can ignore phi anyway...

ϵ - "dont worry about it but also if you dont include this teeny tiny thing you can't solve this equation". usually an infinitesimal addition to something to literally just... work around singularities where the math breaks down.

𝞶 - the worst part about nu is that in QFT all the variations of v, nu, and u are often used simultaneously. good luck if the lecturer has bad handwriting. usually you can tell which one it is by looking at where it is in the equation. could be momentum or an index.

μ - more familiar with this as magnetic permeability which is DEFINITELY something you can feel when you play with a couple o common magnets. also sometimes an index in QFT.

Σ - just means adding stuff up.

Π - same but multiplying.

ξ - i hate this thing. hate it. its a function that i also hate. ruining my pretty notes by making me just... do a little poopy scribble. but sometimes its also used a bit like epsilon.

β - because no one wants to write v^2/c^2 over and over again and i wholeheartedly agree. alternatively a back-up when you run out of the other angle symbols, including...

α - idk what xkcd means here, alpha particles? but those aren't the scariest radiation. also used for an angle or an index, along with beta.

Ω - jeez so many things. solid angle? Resistance?? Multiplicity???  ω - usually for frequency, and therefore attached to most modern physics.

σ - standard deviation. you'll hear particle physicists become optimistic at "3-sigma" and they start throwing parties at "5-sigma". its a bit more complicated but boils down to more sigmas, more certainty that your measurement is legit.

γ - Lorentz factor, used in relativity. not exactly itself the speed of light (c) but the scale factor by which some quantity changes when approaching it.

ρ - also often used alongside "p" in QFT, both referring to momentum but of different particles. also used for "density" in more basic applications, or "resistivity" in E&M. Same letter, completely different meaning depending on context.

Ξ - never had to write this one down actually. chi-squared yes for statistics

ψ - sometimes used kind of like phi, usually referring to a different particle in the same system. usually a wave function, thus triton bit.

this is canon i just drew it

Plz more Wranduin I hunger

soon^tm i just finished moving across the world lmao

Light Between Shadows - Scene 5, p1

last chapter begins! early update because i think we all could use a treat this week.

>Read in order<

Light Between Shadows - Scene 3, p5

That's a wrap on scene 3. Scene 4 to follow soon, which is the penultimate chapter for this series :3c More on what comes after when I get there I suppose!
