hyena_galLet's talk about apocafics (because I say so)! :D
Give me a fandom and any possible (or impossible!) apocalypse scenario and I'll talk about how the characters would fare, whether Character X would hook up with Character C during the dire situation or not, and etc, etc.
If you can't tell, I love apocalypse!AUs! ♥
I need to hear that at least one other person feels the same way as I do~

Okay, so, people, there's this Spanish soap opera where there's lesbians and there's bodices? And if there's something I absolutely love it's girl-loving girls in period pieces!
The show is called Tierra de Lobos and here's the only important part you need to know:
"Isabel is a headstrong tomboy, a loyal sister and one of the daughters of the powerful Lobo family. Her father and the Lobo clan practically own the whole town - whatever they say, goes. However, things are beginning to change...
Cristina is a prostitute. From the first time Isabel sees her in the brothel (while Isabel was out looking for her younger sister), she has been overwhelmingly attracted to Cristina. Whether Cristina returns her affections genuinely or is scheming against the Lobo family remains to be seen..."
You should probably know the reason Isabel why was so mad awkward in that store was because the first time she ever saw Cristina in the brothel she stared at her for five minutes straight. Like, without blinking or anything. Also, the prostitute happened to be very naked and taking a bath at the time if that has anything to say...
See for yourself! Here's links to all the scenes of interest: Isabel sees Cristina for the first time || Isabel confesses her big gay feelings to the local padre || Isabel and Cristina's first kiss
Pretty Spanish girls kissing and touching boobies and stuff! \o/

Date: 2011-10-25 06:05 pm (UTC)It's basically the same as creating a sperm out of an egg, except you're bypassing the whole mess of creating a sperm and just letting the eggs carry on on their own.
Eta: I think they'd just need to figure out exactly how animals are able to fertilize their own cells and how it can be applied to two non-related eggs. It's obviously not easy, but, it seems easier than the sperm thing.

But.. has there been any known cases of parthenogenesis happening when we're talking mammals?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-25 06:25 pm (UTC)In 1936, Gregory Goodwin Pincus reported successfully inducing parthenogenesis in a rabbit. In April 2004, scientists at Tokyo University of Agriculture used parthenogenesis successfully to create a fatherless mouse. Using gene targeting, they were able to manipulate two imprinted loci H19/IGF2 and DLK1/MEG3 to produce bi-maternal mice at high frequency and subsequently show that fatherless mice have enhanced longevity.
And then --
Induced parthenogenesis in mice and monkeys often results in abnormal development. This is because mammals have imprinted genetic regions, where either the maternal or paternal chromosome is inactivated in the offspring in order for development to proceed normally. A mammal created by parthenogenesis would have double doses of maternally imprinted genes and lack paternally imprinted genes, leading to developmental abnormalities ... As a consequence, research on human parthenogenesis is focused on the production of embryonic stem cells for use in medical treatment, not as a reproductive strategy.
Well, there you go, that explains why it isn't being researched. BUT, I would hesitate to rule it out as a viable option. Given our current pace of genetic mapping (and understanding of gene sequencing), in the future we could probably figure out a way to bypass the body's need to have a "paternal" chromosome. Obviously it won't happen like, tomorrow, but we're speaking in hypotheticals anyway, because technically a "female sperm" is the paternal chromosome, so it's basically parthenogenesis anyway.
Whew. Regardless, I can't see either being a viable option anytime soon.

Date: 2011-10-25 06:35 pm (UTC)There's a ton of books to read about this, I'm sure. Too bad there's such things as 'time' and 'RL' bothering us. -_-
I can't see either being a viable option anytime soon. Sadly, no. :-/

Date: 2011-10-25 07:13 pm (UTC)Myka, Pete, Claudia and Artie are all forced to work in one of the alien labor camps. Myka finds out that they have the Shroud of Rahmon stashed away in the Warehouse (and I guess this just turned into a crossover with Angel now...): knowing what effect the shroud will have on her, she wraps herself in it, goes on a murderous rampage, killing aliens left and right and manages to help Artie, Claudia and Pete escape, before getting killed by one of the aliens' ray guns.
Ze end.
:D?

At least the story would go on for 38 chapters or something like that? Isn't that okay?

Date: 2011-10-25 09:15 pm (UTC)Anyways, the Fringe team head to Japan in order to investigate strange cases of yoma attacks. Walter of course runs around in a yukata and gets drunk off sake on more than one occasion to Astrid's chagrin.
Olivia ends up having to sing karaoke at some point in order to get ahold of some crucial information, but she only ends up getting somewhere when she interviews a couple of teenage girls who seem to know something about all of these attacks yet refuse to say anything... ;P
Bonus points for Olivia Dunham having mad chemistry with Japanese schoolgirls. :D

Date: 2011-10-25 08:53 pm (UTC)The only kids from Glee club that survive are Puck, Mike, Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Rachel, Kurt and Karofsky.
First thing Quinn does after the bomb has wiped everyone out is to run off to Shelby's place, Rachel in hot pursuit of her. Shelby is dead, but Beth is alive, although blinded or suffering some other kind of handicap. Cue a ton of angst on that behalf -- the only way Beth can fall asleep the first couple of months afterwards is by having Rachel sing her to sleep. Lots of Faberry stuff happens.
While Santana understands that they all need each other, it stills hurts her when she sees Puck or Rachel hug Brittany. A lot of Brittana stuff happens.
It probably ends with the remaining Glee kids managing to find a big enough car at some point and they head out of Lima, Ohio.
PS. Bonus apperance by Sam later on. ;P
