Gravitation - Tumblr Posts

I have so many feelings about Gravitation, because like. Is it good? Not really. No.

But. It feels very historically important. It was basically synonymous with BL in the west for several years there, and it was the gateway to BL for a lot of people around my age group (myself included).

It's very much a product of its time and era, but for that time and era, it was genuinely one of the better products in its genre. And that was critically important, because we were starving queer puppies for scraps, especially otaku. And Gravitation was really the best of what we had.

This feels so difficult to explain to people who joined into the BL fandom or otaku community later. Like. This was what we had. There was not a lot, or a very much good, BL at the time. There just wasn't. People who were introduced to queer anime by like Yuri!!! On ICE: Oh my God are you so much luckier than I was.

And it actually holds up a lot better than many of its contemporaries. Somehow. You will watch it and be horrified by that, but it's actually true.

And living in that specific slot of, "It's not good, but you don't understand," is hard.

So it was important. And I have a soft spot for it and always will. It was important to me and really changed a lot of my life.

That said. Do we need it, today, in the current marketplace? I don't think we do. It feels like something that should be relegated to scholarship. I can't in good faith tell people to watch it for enjoyment unless you already enjoy it. It's important, but that doesn't make it good.

But get the soundtracks, though, because those are still unironically bangers. Like damn.

hey, is there a reason for why the inverse square law is so common? and why do the nuclears not follow it?

i think it is because of the geometry of the 3D space we perceive macroscopically -

the symmetry of the sphere leads to interaction with a surface for most which leads us to the area as we increase and decrease the radius treating it as a variable.

for example take the light intensity. or the force exerted by an electric charge.

the number of photons found are spread across the surface where the radius increases at the speed of light considering every light source is essentially, macroscopically a point source. similarly for an electric charge. on large scales, it works as a point charge too...

and why do the nuclears (if you mean the nuclear forces not follow it) then I think it is the same reason because they do not follow the three dimensional rules (talking only about spatial dimensions here) that we as gigantic bodies follow. or basically follow on a classical base.

if you consider string theory or quantum loop gravity, there are already higher dimensions, even only mathematically as of now, at play.

i hope this does answer your question and if there is anything you would like to add, I would be glad. plus if I find something, this was only at the top of my head rn, I will share it with the tumblr class-
