@alcedeerie

i'm delia (not really), i go by they/she, and this is where i do things! (profile pic by @owleyess! they've got some cool art!)

Hey guys!

It’s Alcedeerie, your local weirdo! Making an intro post cause all my friends have one! Have fun reading!

About Me!

I may refer to myself as Alcedeerie, but you can call me Delia or Alcie! I'm a cis-genderless girl, they/she pronouns! I'm also a teen/child, not going to specify exact age.

I like:

  • Analog horror, especially The Mandela Catalogue
  • Fnf mods/mod songs
  • Linguistics/Conlanging and the Prolangs comic
  • Deltarune
  • i actually still like homestuck a little bit please don’t judge me
  • Omori
  • Will You Snail

Other places to find me!

I have a discord and ao3 account, but i’m not putting my discord here because I’m cautious like that.

However, my ao3 is windswept_wanderer and you can check it out whenever you want!

DNI list!

Basic DNI criteria applies, and i’m pretty sure it’s known to most people. If you’re racist, sexist, or lgbtqphobic, get the hell out and never come back.

Also, if you’re an NSFW blog, don’t follow me, i find it really weird.

This has been Alcedeerie, signing out!

Wow ok that was awesome. Really epic. Cracklin's response to Chief being like 'How do you know that?' was really spot on lol, I'll literally know an answer at work and then someone repeats it questioningly or, like, 'Are you sure?' And I'm like Aw jeez, you're right, I don't know what I'm talking about... my CURSE! When I'm working with partners, I literally have to pose my answers as questions to them (i.e. The pressure requirement for plant stabillaztion is this -> Isn't the pressure requirement for plant stabillization something like this?) because I don't want to overstep boundaries or accidentally be cocky with incorrect information.

I also really liked Chief and Sylvia's interactions after Chief saved Cracklin- I think it's very representative of two authoritative figures butting heads over decisions, bc they judge situations differently or have different methods of coming to conclusions. If I was comparing the setting to a military setting, I still think Sylvia would be like a reactor lab officer lol. She also got a lot more characterization, which is really neat.

Something really minor, but idc bc it's a fictional setting and liberties must be taken, I don't think Cracklin's radiac design would be able to detect alphas without an attachment. His description of the major forms of radiation was really spot on though, it made me so happy!! Also, Chief calling him special 😅 In my plant, we're most concerned about neutrons, as they can actually penetrate the skin and will cause the most damage (alphas are stopped by our dead skin layer, betas and gammas are too weak to cause a lot of damage unless you get a very high dose). I really, REALLLYYLYLYLTLTHDGSUWUDHDVEH hope that they'll get into reactor design and procedures maybe- radiation is universal, but reactor designs varied a lot in between military branches, civillian plants, research plants, and different countries/governments, it would feed a lot into the time and place setting. Also, what Cracklin describes in the beginning seems like he's moving along the lines of military or maybe research-esc reactors- civillian reactors aren't enriched to cause a... nuclear explosion, if that's the case. (Which is why countries should always be allowed to invest in civillian nuclear plants without being accused of developing weapons!) Even what happened at Chernobyl wasn't a 'nuclear explosion'- a lot of reactivity was suddenly added, causing vaporization of water -> increasing pressure -> pressure boundaries destroyed -> fission products running amok in the atmosphere. I guess he could've been describing that though... I'm definitely going to be rewatching it a lot in the coming months :3

☢ I love this post so much! I love this post so much! I want to jump on how much I love this post! ☢

☢ In fact, I was quietly waiting for you to watch episode 2 because I wanted to hear your opinion. I understand that your professional activities are related to nuclear reactors? /enthusiasm I have, unfortunately, neither a scientific nor a technical specialty, I'm just a drawing teacher. Nuclear physics, radiation is just my autistic special interest so I could be wrong on the details. And I'm glad if a more knowledgeable person will correct me in my mistakes. I just really, really love everything that has to do with radiation, reactors, nuclear bombs, radioactive elements and need to surround myself with all this in any form ☢

☢ Of course, I take some "liberties" consciously in the setting, because I position it as fantastic and, in many ways, metaphorical. What is happening in ION, in addition to the technical component, is a metaphor for the feelings of the characters, for their emotions and state of mind. In the opening monologue, Cracklin describes the hyperfixation he is experiencing as a nuclear chain reaction because it makes it easier for him to explain what he feels because of his autism. And the real explosion at the nuclear power plant is also a metaphor for the "explosion" in his life. I make some assumptions in order to create a more fascinating scenery for the viewer - for example, barrels of nuclear materials in the turbine hall were hardly supposed to be there. But they look so epic and nuclearrrrr! /pos

☢ Cracklin is able to pick up alpha radiation because he has gone through several upgrades in the past (I'm going to show this in the series). When creating Cracklin, I relied on two dosimeter-radiometers familiar to me: the Chinese model BR-9 (I have one at home) and Radioscan 701 A, which is also capable of capturing some alpha radiation ☢

☢ I may not be as good with nuclear reactors as you are, but I planned that Silverfield Station would have some kind of experimental reactor that would do some extra work and do some testing. Sorry for not being specific here, it's plot related. As for Chernobyl, I absolutely agree with you. I know that the explosion is not a nuclear explosion, although it is commonly called that by the people. ☢ ☢ Thanks a lot for posting your opinion! I was happy to read your thoughts :) ☢

You Are Not Immune To fanart of characters who die in canon that has them alive and well, with scars from the wound that originally killed them

why is it that when I look for slowed or sped up song edits, I have a preference now. like i used to be able to listen to just anything if it was cool, but now i’m just like: too slow, too fast, wrong key, wrong key again, the vibes are off, why the hell did you put an anime voice line in the middle of it? nothing just hits different anymore, and i’m running out of dopamine.

The miserable wizard reading that his favorite spell, “instant painful organ failure IV” has been banned by the council, closing his newspaper and crying softly to himself while a light misting or rain falls outside

*turns to face camera* i told you to stop narrating me motherfucker

But, as the wrathful wizard was about to punish the humble narrator, he remembered that his favourite spell had just been banned. He lowered his magical and handsome skull orb, which ceased glowing ominous green gradually, and sat down on his pimped out evil armchair -the kind to have spikes and gems and such opulent details-, and let out a great sigh, resting his cheek on his fist. It was just not the same without it...

stop that!
