I’d like to add that this is an unfair comparison to make on the simple basis that molecules are made up of the smallest of building blocks, atoms. There are therefore, inevitably going to be some that are really simple, like an O2 molecule.
But organic molecules, as is true for most living and essential to living structures, get fucking complicated and fast. For example. Good ol’ glucose. C6H12O6. There’s already bits hanging off of a hexagonally shaped sugar. Glucose is used and transformed from that, into much, much more complicated structures, as the energy gained from breaking apart multiple glucose molecules can then be used to synthesize ribosomes, which then take pieces of DNA code and that is absurdly long and use even more complicated molecule groups to synthesize advanced proteins and enzymes that help not only cells, but entire tissue, organ, and ultimately the entire organism function.
You remember how much DNA a human has? Now try to think about how many proteins the plant with the largest recorded number of base pairs of alleles has- the current record (which changes every few years or so) has about 160 BILLION. And it’s not even a type of tree! It’s a fern!
That’s a lot of fucking molecules!!!! That’s a lot of little complicated structures!!!
And I don’t mean to make that sound dramatic but it very much is important. Some protein folding disorders can cause some major issues. And that’s just in humans. Never mind other animals too!
biologists will be like this is a very simplified diagram of a mammalian cell
chemists will be like this is a molecule
Sure sure.
Where to start though?
I have an astigmatism that’s been present since I was a very young child, it set me back developmentally in every way, as you can imagine, and they didn’t catch it the first time they did the elementary annuals in like, kindergarten. Because I started bawling during the exam. Full on, Pearl Fey admitting her guilt levels of bawling. Little baby me had the epiphany that I was SUPPOSED to be able to read the little letters, and was very distraught. The test administrators dismissed this as me being scared of the equipment, so they let me go without a proper exam. (New flash, I was not, actually, scared of the machines at all. Because I couldn’t fucking tell what they were.)
My astigmatism continued undiagnosed for like another grade, and I was practically illiterate (because it was actually like a 6 or a 7 in one eye, and then a 5 in opposite direction the other so I’m technically both farsighted and nearsighted, lmfao get owned optometrists) till they did it again and realized it was absolutely atrocious.
That led to me needing to travel for at least an hour to find an optometrist who had equipment that was small enough for a 6-7 year old. The first one we tried couldn’t get the lenses stand low enough to give me a proper prescription, and the seat could t get any higher. (Thank you shitty early 2000’s medicine, not accounting for pediatric cases)
They told me I might be able to get lasik to fix it when I was much older. I went in for a check up at nineteen, and asked about that promising technology, and despite drastic improvements in my astigmatism (at least one of my eyes should qualify assuming it was a treatable type, and I didn’t have an extremely rare kind of astigmatism). They took one look at my chart and looked at me and said “lasik is not an option for you.” So I guess I have some really rare astigmatism that science still can’t effectively treat.
My prescription is still not able to be made into contacts either, so- yknow it’s bad.
My lenses were so thick they’ve actually broken the frames I picked out within a week of having them once.
I must simply be an enigma to medical professionals everywhere.
On the bright side, I’ve always donated my lenses so kids my age at the time with my same issues would at least have glasses.
I also ate grass and a flower once as a child. Yes I know what the flower is now, no, it wouldn’t have done anything at all, but probably don’t go testing if random lawn flowers are edible.
I’ve chewed on pine needles before. They taste like… well, they taste like pine-nuts. But leafy. And cellulose-y

As much as I would love for narumitsu to be Canon, I just don't feel like it's ace attorney style to heavily explore cutesy romance stuff. It would feel a bit odd I think to have a game where they have a romance arc as aa is not a dating sim 😭
However I think it's absolutely hilarious if they come out with a new game where they just sorta don't ever substantially say it but it's obvious what's going on.
Ways they could make Narumitsu Canon that I think are funny:
-One of the locations is called "My Apartment" whilst you're playing as Phoenix, and when you go there sometimes Edgeworth is just like... sat on the sofa drinking tea and you're just meant to accept it. (alternatively. You are able to play as both Phoenix and Edgeworth at some point and both of them go to the same "my apartment")
- They put wedding rings on their sprites and never ever elaborate on it.
-There's an almost hidden piece of dialogue that you only get when you fail spectacularly where Edgeworth gets smug and Phoenix thinks "That's it. I am so going to divorce him when we get home" or something sarcastic along those lines. That's the only time it's mentioned.
-There's a case where there are two people in love and Maya is like "Nick you must be so lonely you haven't dated anyone in years. All you do is hang out with Mr Edgeworth all the time >:( " and Phoenix just thinks "Yeah. There's a reason for that" and that's it. You're meant to infer wtf that means.
-Larry complains about being a third wheel once when with Phoenix and Edgeworth.
-Edgeworth's office has a tiny nearly illegible photo that is clearly just a wedding picture of the two of them. You click on it and Phoenix is like "As nice as this day was, did he really have to use the photo where I'm blinking??"
-You present a ring as evidence to Edgeworth and he says something along the lines of "Interesting. It almost reminds me of the one you gave me, Wright"
Something I think about a lot is how as a kid, I picked a bunch of wildflowers for my mom.
I didn’t know what they were, just that they were tall and dainty, and pretty, not to mention they were everywhere.
I knew when I was little that something was very wrong between her and my dad, but seeing me come in, with random bits of dirt on my face (and somehow in my ears too) and all over my hands seemed to make her light up for a moment. She’d even scold me a little when I would bring in a bushel so thick our usual vases and glasses wouldn’t fit them. Even in spite of me picking the yard of our house clean of flowers, those dainty purple stalks would pop back up within weeks like I hadn’t just overharvested what me and my parents thought at the time were random lawn weeds.
Now that I’m older and a bit wiser (and don’t cause a wake of biological destruction in my path), and I know what was actually happening in that house, I think it’s funny. Especially since I’m really fond of flowers and floriography.
I was giving her blue toadflax. That especially looking back on it now is painfully ironic. It’s not a typical bouquet flower, but it does have a meaning.
It’s been a long while since I found the site that listed one of its meanings, but it symbolizes protection, and was said to ward off curses and hexes, or even land stewardship. Others said it symbolized joy and vitality. Emphasis on the protective aspect, and it being a stubborn, determined pioneer plant- you can probably argue resilience too.
I was giving her a fucking protection charm and neither her nor I even knew it. Not until I was like fifteen and saw the flowers again and was like “hmm I wonder what these mean, I used to give them to my mom all the time.”
Damn it if the universe ain’t a petty poetic bitch then what is it even?
Bro…. Just… fucken… let people draw what they want. And draw it well.
The only thing I don’t see on this list is a fucking still-life of fruit. Don’t draw anything, actually, that you find beautiful and wish to commit to memory. Find something that hasn’t (??? Everything is iterations on other things and therefore that point is effectively moot???) been drawn before and draw, I guess.
Let me just fucken reinvent the wheel or somethin idfk
have i ever shown you guys my professor’s DNI list
One day this is going to be applied to like, a meteor about to collide with the sun or something, and people will somehow make an act of doomsday into a love poem about a doomed romance wherein both parties inevitably collide and their lives literally crumble as a result of their union. A union of death and utter destruction and one that is inevitable in that its temptation is too great to bear.
Humans can romanticize anything. And not like the fear of nature romanticism. We just want everything to kiss, I think.
well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object
CHAPTER SEVEN IS HERE BABEYYYY
May I just say….
Goddamn that’s a long ass foxglove stalk dude tf kinda steroids they giving it? Creatine? Testosterone???? Good GOD.

Do you ever wonder if Phoenix annoys the piss out of Apollo in an attempt to push him away at first because he doesn’t want to put him in a position where if he dies suddenly, Apollo will long for his mentor’s guidance like he did with Mia but can’t get it because he doesn’t have Maya or Pearl as council like Phoenix did, and then suddenly he has his badge back and is like “well shit I can’t just switch up now” and just continues to be an ass to Apollo because he’s like ‘well I made this bed, time to lay in it’?
Sorry I just woke up yall but my brain never be sleepin
Apollo looks like he’s starting to realize something about himself lmfao this is perfection
for the character / expression sketches… 1e and 3a, Apollo and Klavier, please? Thinking that Apollo says something unintentionally funny and he’s shocked when Klavier genuinely giggles :3 could work vice versa tho, whatever you want! thank you very much !
First time drawing both Klavier and Apollo, wahoo
@dolotonglo *ringing the dinner bell once again*
Pride and Prejudice AU.
Just an excuse to draw them in regency era outfits tbh.
I’m feral because I can’t achieve my dreams in love and I’m ok with that because it’s my fault. I’m an introvert to the max babes
