Man Do I Have A Story For You!!!

Man do I have a story for you!!!

So due to when my parental generations of flies pupated, the yeast crawls emerged as adults about a week before the other flies I have been assignedto breed them with emerged. Said flies have what is called the bar eye mutation, which changes the shape and size of their eyes.

So, flies hatching roughly 5ish days apart, results in me having collected my female apterous flies before their boyfriends had emerged. This ment there was a nice isolation period that allowed me to see that yes, all of the yeast crawls I had selected were in fact healthy and doing great in their new homes as they waited to get their boyfriends. On friday the bar eyes emerge and I am able to introduce the ladies to them. In the end I have four vials, 4 females and 4 males in each one. The flies are looking great, and I go home for the weekend feeling good.

On Monday I returned to tragedy. In one vial what I had initially identified as a female yeast crawl turned out to have actually been a chad male in disguise and he had been very busy with the three ladies, so that vial and its flies was no longer usable for the experiment. That would have been fine, if it were not for the fact that two of the other vials had died. So, im down to one vial and I email my professor because im not sure if one vial will be enough to get the end result of 500 second generation flies.

Three days and three unanswered emails later, the one surviving vial has a mass death. There are now only 3 surviving flies, 1 yeast crawl and her two boyfriends. There were no signs that the flies had mated.

Long story short, I was very unamused with my professor's inability to respond to my emails for days straight, however I was eventually able to talk with him and he has made me some new vials with healthy flies, which now two weeks later I have recived! They all seem to be doing good. Me and my proffer think what happened is that the bar eye flies had gotten infected with something, as the original batch of bar eyes I was given also had a lot of die off happen in it.

As for the one remaining original vial, great news! They eventualy actually successfully mated, and their children have emerged as adults! The two guys didn't live long enough to meet their kids, but mama yeast crawl did and is a very proud parent.

(Rip Wonky-Wings and Fat-Butt the male bar eyed fruit flies, your progeny have survived against the odds, and soon will have more flies join their ranks from the new vials.)

Ok so I'm taking a genetics class right now and in lab we've been given fruit flies with different mutations that we need to breed over the course of the semester.

Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.

Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.

And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.

Anyways, I've been calling them my yeast crawls and I am their god now.

Mmmmm non asshole pre crisis core Sephiroth having the worst time upon getting yeeted into 7c9s

not to come into your inbox out of left field (sorry!!) but the out-there au & canon character dynamic *i’m* curious about is 7c9s verse angeal and genesis (and sephiroth and cloud, i presume) getting temporarily crammed in the same dimension as their mostly-canonish counterparts. especially wrt canon sephiroth (at this point in his life) being a prick but not (as far as 7c9s angeal and genesis are concerned) an abusive scumbag piece of shit who (as far as 7c9s genesis is concerned) beats the shit out of a little kid regularly. even if the kid is cloud.

I think they'd be appalled by their counterparts. Cloud's circumstances (and, to some extent, the example of pure selflessness he set) forced them to become better people. 7Genesis would never do what canon Genesis did. 7Angeal would never force Zack to kill him. He'd never think of himself as a monster so easily, because then what would he be able to say to Cloud? Who cares about wear, tear, and rust when there's a kid who needs you right there?

They would definitely be shocked that Sephiroth is capable of not being a true monster.

LOOK AT THIS. ITS SO FUCKING CUTE. JUST. LOOK AT IT.

Makeship at it again with the adorable plushies designed by indi creators.

Everyone jokes/used to joke about Among us ruining them because they see it everywhere and in everything, but I never experienced that.

You wanna know what is ruining my brain though? Analog horror. I can't fuckin hear or see ads without thinking "heehee computur synthesized voice, they're trying to be creepy"

Theres these god damn amazon ads that I can't see without thinking "why are they emulating omega mart ads?" Its freaking everywhere. I see a damn deer outside? Ive seen this analog horror before. Street sign symbols? Fuckin analog horror stick people. Im loosing my mind.

Actually No! You couldn't! Too much yeast in their containers, especially if you're keeping them in vials, will suffocate them! This is because the yeast produces CO2, and the flies are very very small. So you put in the nutrient sludge to feed the yeast that then feeds the yeast crawls. at my lab we put in 3 to 4 yeast granules onto the blue potato sludge.
