putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

#warm up #this isn't good #writeblr #this is complicated by the fact i can't stand up too long or i fuckken pass out and <3 hit my damn head <3 #but i did take a deep breath and buy myself the stupid rice cooker #and!!! a very cheap sushi kit!!! i have been wanting to try making sushi for literally YEARS #the kit was only like 15 dollars!!!! and i haven't purchased it bc?!!??!?!?!?!!?#..... i didn't get the mixer tho that felt. like a lot. like too much.#on my list is a kitchenaid. one day when i get a check and i have paid off my student debt #and medical debt #i will put that first little bit of cash #into a kitchenaid 5qt stand mixer (with attachments)#i really do just go into their refurbished section and stare lustily at each option #but yeah i feel guilty about the rice cooker even tho i know for a fact this damn thing is gonna be a lifesaver #oh shit also fuck i forgot to mention . poached eggs

*house of the dragon episode 2 spoilers*

literally laughing SO HARD abt rhaenyra pulling up to dragonstone just like "uncle i know you fucking lied abt getting her pregnant and frankly this temper tantrum of yours is both tedious and a sad cry for attention. do you want to kill me? is that it? it'd be easier on all of us" and daemon just smiling at her as if she made him proud calling his semi-bluff before then scowling at otto and yeeting her the egg. truly if the targs have nothing else, it's an abundance of dragon-sized audacity

#house of the dragon #someone edit that one sailor moon and tuxedo mask meme with daemon dramatically walking away and unimpressed rhaenyra #the way daemon started clutching the egg to his chest when rhaenyra showed up with syrax #king said she's gonna say swiper no swiping and i'm gonna have to give it back:(((#also the way both of them immediately transitioned to valyrian both bc it's THEIR shared secret language but also #to alienate everyone else and keep it an A-B conversation #honestly feel like if otto and the others weren't there daemon would've ruffled rhaenyra's hair before leaving or smth #bc he honestly looked quite fond of her after she dressed him down like that #but then he was like oh wait we have my least favoritw mf here as audience my pride says no affection only scowl #do i ship them yet? no bc rhaenyra is only 15. is the whole concept of targaryen inbreeding Not Great? yes.#i will say tho that the obvious affection (platonic or otherwise) that daemon and rhaenyra have going on rn is v cute #and i'm looking forward to how matt and emma's own dynamic will teanslate going forward in the show's timeline #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #house of the dragon spoilers #matt smith #milly alcock #emma d'arcy #otto hightower #rhys ifans

i don't think there is anything more dear to me than the weird "it's not romantic, it's not sexual, but 'platonic' and 'familial' don't quite cover it" relationship between:

the edgelord who may or may not have committed several atrocities.

the ray of sunshine who has been through too many atrocities but remains a ray of sunshine regardless/in spite of it.

#THIS IS NOT A SHIP POST PLEASE DON'T EAT ME #edgeworth and maya #zuko and aang #shirou and michiru #susie and noelle #(this one is a ship [obv])#kazuma and susato #guy and sam (green eggs and ham series)#alastor and charlie #blitzo and moxie #callum and aaron #nimona and ballister #(yes nimona is the edgelord fight me)#kwazii and peso (you can have a barnacles in your qpr; as a treat)#hunter and luz #glados and chell #patches and olive (purrfect apawcalypse)#sophie and agatha #(“bUt tHeY kIsS” shhhhh *chloroform*)#catra and adora #loid and yor #(these two are also romantic; the allos can have treats sometimes)#hanako and yashiro #(they're 13 and 15 please don't be weird about them)#narrator and stanley (the stanley parable)#undyne and alphys #(romantic)#sans and papyrus #(they're canon brothers)#miriam and kiwi (wandersong)

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish #like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already #if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible #but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv #besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth #its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the #over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet.#if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120 #which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs #and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive #do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100 #but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks #do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms #if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

Rambling and extra drawing underneath the readmore!

Funny story about these drawings is that they're apart of commissions from my pal (besides the first one) that's reaaaaaaaaally into Liam x Scarab (in fact most of the drawings I posted here are almost all commissions from him lol. If you're reading this bro, I'm still surprised you zeroed in on my oc of all things and not Prismo x Scarab), who's request went along the lines of:

"Hey how much would it be for you to design a bug kid for Liam and Scarab?"

"A dollar since you've spent so much already."

"I got tipped 53 bucks so-"

And he did indeed request it because of that Farm World scene lmao

I was just like “bro I think he might be being sarcastic there” and he was “no no- give them lots of kids he'd be ecstatic about it”

Tadaaaaaa lol 53 funky lil bug/lizard grub children, all of which do not have any names. I'll figure something out later 🤷‍♂️

#scarab x oc #liam #azure liam #also both of them laid different batches of eggs lol #Scarab 15 and Liam 38- also decided by the commissioner lol #bug world au

okay honestly. and i promise i will stop thinking about the deeply mediocre film argylle after this. but people have been talking about how confusing and how meta it is. but it isn't even that weird or meta????? like grow up! watch weirder movies

#like it's a movie where the plot deeply doesn't matter and you forget instantly upon leaving the theater which makes it kind of hard to des #cribe but that's not because it's overly complicated or meta or 4th wall breaking? like. and sorry to spoil argylle. lol.#woman is spy and steals incriminating information. woman is conflicted and plays both sides of conflict. woman hides information and then #gets captured. woman gets brainwashed into forgetting she's a spy and thinking she's a spy novelist. woman writes novels with memories of h #her past life which the spy agency hopes will reveal where she (spy) hid the info. action movie shenanigans happen. henry cavill is there.#like. there was a lot of eye contact with the camera in the first 15 minutes of the movie so i thought maybe they were going to directly #address the audience at some point but that never happened. and it never broke the 4th wall or really got meta at all??#henry cavill shows up at the end which maybe implies that there is also a guy in the world who is also agent argylle (and is not just her r #repressed memories but could also just be a fun easter egg to end the movie. and there's a midcredits scene (ben daniels) that ties it into #the kingsmen universe. but that's it!#you people would hurl if you saw the meta shit i was into #anyways again. this is the anyone has ever thought about the movie argylle. a movie i think i liked more than most people but is deeply mid #isabel.txt #sorry i saw the shakespeare fourth wall post and started thinking about this again.

I don't know how I do that but I'm friends with so many trans people

#and for what!!!!#because buddy if i were trans let me tell you i would know by now #i've had years multiple trans friends of all flavours and 24/7 access to tumblr #i'd know #but here i am cis+ with just. an astonishing amount of trans friends for a cis girl #i don't know i guess it's cause i'm queer and weird??#i'm not kidding btw there's like. what. 12 people on my list of friends right now?#okay wait let's push it to 15 just to account for the people i must have forgotten #i have about 15 friends #and like half of that have something up with their gender #it's official. i'm a magnet for people who had a shit school experience and also trans people i guess #and the neurodivergent/disabled crowd also. but i'm neurodivergent and i had a shit experience in school so.#it's both a very nice environment (cool queer people) but sometimes it's a bit hard to talk about gender #because i have trans friends who take me saying i want to wear waistcoats as me being trans. which. nope #like i am so not a guy. i wouldn't panic too much if i suddenly woke up with a typically male body sure #but like. i'm not a guy. i don't know what's going on here 100% but it's not that i'm a guy #i just want to wear waistcoats i'd love shapeshifting powers and one day i'll try binding #this is me being a curious fucker with a sense of style #if someone else implies there is an egg in me i should crack i'm going to snap #sorry apart from that it's fun having trans friends. cool people #i say that now cause we're 5 housemates total and like 2 of those are trans people #and a third has something going on somewhere near his gender i think. i think? probably.#and they're friends with more people who are doing a gender #so many trans people in my social circle....#that and my two high school closest friends are also having fun with it #i'm the only one. i'm the only cis person of some of my friend groups!#wow i have a ramble tag now

A timeline of Noelverse

So I saw these tags from @lizirinzs on the latest chapter update for Reunion, and it got me thinking about the fact I’ve never shared the timeline I keep for key events in the Noelverse. If you, like me, struggle to figure out where events fall relative to each other without detailed notes, here you go!

(TL;DR - as of Reunion, Light has been in Near’s custody for nine years, working with the SPK for seven, and looking after Julia for four.)

January 28, 2013

Mikami dies

Light is shot by Matsuda

Near takes custody of Light and fakes his death

Light breaks free, kills Janus, and cuts Near loose

Matsuda and the Task Force come to HQ

Julia shoots Gevanni and tries to force Light to help Libra

Light gases himself and Julia to save the team

March 17, 2018

Light goes downstairs to visit Julia for the first time

February 28, 2019

March 2019

Julia moves into her own set of rooms upstairs

November 2021

May 2, 2022

May 3, 2022

Light proposes the Trojan Horse plan

Near confronts Sayu (and is also rebuffed)

May 6, 2022

Light and Sachiko speak on the roof

Near turns over control of the kidnapping case to Light

May 9, 2022

Light successfully bluffs the kidnappers into surrendering

Sayu agrees to try to rebuild her relationship with Light

Light asks Near to move to Japan with him and relinquish control over Light’s imprisonment; Near agrees

May 10, 2022

Sachiko and Sayu return to Japan

January 28, 2023

The SPK, Aizawa, and Matsuda visit Light and Julia’s prison to commemorate the ten year anniversary of the Yellow Box Warehouse

Light and Near burn Near’s scrap of the Death Note

#noelblogging #wild that the timespan of the series has ended up so close to the IRL timespan I've been writing it #also I think this is the first time I've outright said that Light triggering the gas happened on March 15 #I thought outright stating it in the fic would be Too Much but it was my intention when writing the fic #a little angsty easter egg just for me #and now also for you

Idiot (me) meets quest line with no redundant spawns -> 3000 support tickets filed

#please feel free to ignore this #It's gamebro #Not literally 3000 but close 🙈#To be fair the other part of this quest DID have redundant spawns which makes it even weirder #'Collect 6 bugs' There are like 15 spawn points and the bugs respawn as soon as you catch them #'Collect 4 fish' There are 4 locations and once you get a fish from a location they DO NOT respawn #I lost a fish -> couldn't finish the quest #Was fucking around while waiting for help -> somehow lost the other 3 #I think I accidentally cooked them which is also insane? Most games now lock quest items so you can't lose them #or use them for anything other than the quest #Also another part of this quest requires collecting 10 eggs and apparently there are 15 total #So who designed the fishing part? I would like to talk

wait so Hunter B-15 is supposed to be…verity Willis?? They literally have nothing in common….like what the fuck. Can marvel stop slapping beloved character names onto random unrelated characters and have people bow on the streets for it? It makes no SENSE!!!!!!

#marvel said “oh agent of Asgard is a very well received comic run why don’t I throw in little Easter eggs that make no sense”#like Slyvie having Lokis iconic broken crown that was a symbol of a huge character arc for him #and now B-15 WHOSE CHARACTER IS NOTHING LIKE VERITYS NOW BEING VERITY IN MCU?#WHAT THE FUCKKKKKJ #verity Willis #Loki #marvel #fucking hell #ok I’m done #also verity is a punk and works from home as data entry or something like that because she can’t stand lying and it makes sense to her #she would not be a fucking doctor lmao #ok NOW I’m done
