I saw someone reblog this dismissing it as AI despite the fact they’re 1 click away from a search engine.
“Rosetta Nebula” is all you’d have to type.
Perhaps the biggest travesty with ai images is going to be robbing people of their wonder for what’s actually possible in the universe and continuing to shrink their bubble of understanding based on whether they believe it at a glance.
The image has been colorized differently above but the Rosetta Nebula is real and actually looks like that.
“Vex this didn’t need expansion why are you doing this” because I love overthinking things
Atroquinine is the name of a chemical found exclusively in Borgnian cocoons. It has two enantiomers– the R enantiomer is the poison and the S enantiomer is the medicine that can cure incuritis. For obvious reasons this is a pharmaceutical nightmare
(For context, enantiomers are chemicals that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, like this:)
When extracting atroquinine from the cocoons, you’ll get a racemic mixture (50:50 of both enantiomers). It’s costly and difficult to isolate the S enantiomer, which (coupled with the R enantiomer’s extremely low LD50) makes atroquinine extraction highly dangerous and led to its restriction to Borgnia
Atroquinine (the poison) is closer in my mind to Strychnine but with a few elements of V-series nerve agents. The symptoms (burning throat, arching back, trembling limbs, onset of 10-20 minutes) are more consistent with Strychnine while the physical properties (non-volatile, odorless liquid, long shelf life, extremely low LD50) are closer to VX and similar nerve agents. This is Ace Attorney and actual chemistry means nothing so I’m just gonna mash the two together and call it a day. VX being an AChE inhibitor is irrelevant bc I think glycine receptor antagonists are sexier
