Ask @Xakkun:

What is in the center of the world?

Based on the relative prevalence of various chemical elements in our solar system, the theory of planetary formation, and constraints imposed or implied by the chemistry of the rest of the Earth's volume, the inner core is believed to consist primarily of a nickel-iron alloy known as NiFe: 'Ni' for nickel, and 'Fe' for ferrum or iron. Because the inner core is denser (12.8 ~ 13.1)g⁄cm³ than pure iron or nickel, even under heavy pressures, it is believed that the core also contains enough gold, platinum and other siderophile elements that if extracted and poured onto the Earth's surface it would cover the entire Earth with a coating 0.45 m (1.5 feet) deep. The fact that precious metals and other heavy elements are so much more abundant in the Earth's inner core than in its crust is explained by the theory of the so-called iron catastrophe, an event that occurred before the first eon during the accretion phase of the early Earth.

How was it telling Gauze you're trans?

Well, he /kinda/ knew from when we first met, but back then it was more... well, I thought it was just a fetish thing, to be blunt. He took it really well from the beginning, although it did take him a little bit to start seeing me as an actual girl when I realized that was what I needed. It's still an ongoing process, what with my our living situation preventing me from presenting as a woman full-time, but overall it's not been all that difficult :3
