Pseudoscience Fic Quotes LOL

Get a load of THIS baby. It's been a while since I've seen such a disastrously mixed science/mumbo-jumbo metaphor:

The two were polar opposites of one another, and when they were together the air seemed to change perceptibly around them. Molecules broke down and rematerialized, energizing the air with a weird brand of oxygen that contained some unidentifiable element that was unmistakably them. When the two were together, those around them felt at east; right, in a way they could never quite explain. And if one of them happened to leave the room, leaving the other behind, it was as if a light bulb had suddenly gone out. Everything sort of…dimmed. There needs to be a name for it, Karl thought. He wondered how they did it. Surely there must be a trick. Chemistry, he thought. Weird, but it makes sense. They seemed to coexist and feed off the most primal mixture of chemistry and physics, and it worked for them, it made sense. (here)

Note that the tag "badfic" isn't necessarily accurate beyond the paragraph quoted, but I have to be able to find my old posts somehow.

Oh my GAWD. I think the best sentence is “a weird brand of oxygen that contained some unidentifiable element that was unmistakably them.” I can't break it down past there. A brand of oxygen? Oxygen that contains an element? IDEK.

the science is awesome but i still giggled most at the fact people felt at east.
