I was gonna bring up Knights of Sidonia too, because Izana uses male pronouns (most of the time?) but has a female VA. I think Izana even switches pronouns for a little bit at some point. I think it might have been in the dresses episode? Then switches back once Tanikaze is around.

They're rocks, likely with no concept of gender. That it may appear in their language is just anachronism or translation. I cite Vaarsuvius from Order of the Stick: V gets referred to as both he or she by various characters, by entirely their own interpretation or perception. The elves just don't care, because their language has such constructs as 'other parent' rather than father or mother, a hint that gender does not factor into their language or culture. Agency is the social currency. You want it when you have little, and you should pay it out when you have a lot. It's a matter of agency to define one's own pronouns. Policing for someone else's pronouns is not giving them agency (unless they asked you to), in fact it's probably taking away their agency that they can't just let it slide.

I refer to my car as 'she' as a term of endearment. My car has as much concept of gender as these gem persons. How dare people just not know what to call them in the first place and make a best guess based on appearance. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

dogsicle posted:there's also the matter of memories being stored in the body you cast off. at what point would a gem like that cease to be themselves? This is a cool invocation of the Ship of Theseus, because on the other hand you could eventually gather the parts they're leaving behind and perhaps have a separate entity with all their previous memories? They would be 'old' memories though, while the continuously existing example would have new memories. Which one actually carries their identity? Or is there some 'critical component' in each of them that activates what's connected? Maybe something in-between like a heavily weighted quorum, which wouldn't be reliable if Phos adding new 'nodes' to the cluster though. Does the new material not store memories?

Qwertycoatl posted:My guess is that Sensei is granite or some similar rock. Sensei is far more likely a carbide. Tungsten carbide is denser than boron carbide, and only the latter stands between it and diamond in hardness. Boron carbide is actually two-thirds the density of diamond, compared to tungsten carbide which is four and a half times denser than diamond. That Sensei casually integrates with walls suggests high density. Sensei, having a bit more volume than an average human (closer to two) and being made entirely of tungsten carbide, would weigh a ton. A literal metric ton. Around 2000kg. Boron carbide would make a neat gemfriend. Nearly the hardness of diamond, but far lighter.  But all of this talk of hardness actually belies toughness. You can shatter a perfect diamond with a hammer, and the show has gotten this right. There are way too many variables to express toughness though. Yielding versus fracturing leads to crazy charts like this one Ranzear fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Dec 4, 2017 |

RottenK posted:Do Phos's golden alloy arms being accepted and animated by their inclusion organisms mean that there could potentionally be beings similar to the gem people, but made out of metals? I think being transparent or at least translucent is important, to absorb light. Even though I still think Sensei is a carbide, the fragments floating around in the screenshots a few pages back are transparent and the finger snap to make them suggests they aren't coming from somewhere else. I don't think we've seen any gemfriends that are entirely opaque.

RottenK posted:but Sensei has no translucent parts on his body, so i would assume that the way the light gets converted into energy doesn't require that I'd figure the powder doesn't block UV or IR or whichever wavelengths they actually feed on, but on the other hand we've not seen that Sensei actually wears the powder. Again, the fragments though. Plants are green because they don't absorb as much green for photosynthesis as red or blue. One could argue this is why they leave their 'hair' uncovered. Because the inclusions don't appear to block or absorb visible light, I wouldn't figure they absorb it for sustenance, instead they abosrb UV or IR. Or, maybe, each gemfriend's inclusions have their own 'diet', and each only thrives when their inclusions match up with the wavelengths that can pass through their material. The 'failures' on the coast are those whose inclusions' needs don't match their transparencies. Bort could absorb a lot of IR, and the large surface area would help. Few of the others would absorb IR at all. I doubt the source material is quite this nerdy anyway. Ranzear fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Dec 11, 2017 |

Paracelsus posted:Rock salt. Incidentally, this is probably why the butterflies were landing on Phos. The male butterflies will gather sodium and other mineral salts and present it to their mates. While they were probably just after the sea spray, they could have been trying to eat Phos too.

Density is always my determinant when it comes to Sensei. I've leaned towards titanium carbide for a while. Cubic boron nitride might be a better fit, it's clear and goes with the 'artificial' idea, but isn't nearly as dense (hardly as dense as diamond). Cubic titanium nitride is totally a thing though, even if it only comes in nanoparticles, but then Sensei would be as bling as Phos.

There Bias Two posted:He could be covered head to toe in that powder though. See here. If those fragments are from Sensei (the finger snap), they're a good indicator of clear colorless crystal. That's what kinda rules out titanium carbide (I liked the 'literally weighs a ton' interpretation of that) but rules in cubic boron nitride or other cubic artificials. Cubic zirconia would work too, and is denser than diamond, but isn't crazy hard.

There Bias Two posted:Do they sell Phos leg socks somewhere? I'd be surprised if that wasn't a thing. I find some spiral tights online that are close, but are black on sheer so you'd have to wear them over white and the sheer would kinda ruin it. I don't find anything on Amazon, here or JP, nor Aliexpress even (though they do have all the uniforms and wigs.) I'd sooner make them in iridescent latex, 0.20 if you can find it, with the white layer on top. Do note that the white bands are actually pearl white, not the skin powder, so this would look correct, buy obviously for cosplay not daily wear.

Nah, just broken textures due to mojibake. Bort is fine. Dia has a few too many polys in the hair. I've seen far worse. Edit: Huh, if you figure Sensei is two meters tall (Budda was 6'7" to 6'10" by what I find, it fits) then Bort and most of the gems are just ~140cm or 4'7" I'm referencing a shot on the beach in episode 5 which isn't too foreshortened. A scene in episode 8 puts Antarcticite at 155cm (5'1") in heels, though Sensei might be bending a little. Unrelated: I just noticed Phos's gold transformation comes with opening like a lotus flower.
