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

Making Incorrect H:SR Quotes Until I Run Out of (hopefully) Original Ideas - Pt. 6

[Pt. 1] [Pt. 2] [Pt. 3] [Pt. 4] [Pt. 5]

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr incorrect quotes #hsr textpost #hsr memes #honkai star rail memes #hsr meme #honkai star rail meme #boothill #hsr boothill #argenti #hsr argenti #sunday #hsr sunday #aventurine #hsr aventurine #black swan #hsr black swan #argenhill #boothill x argenti #i love their 'guns n' roses' ship name a whole lot but im not trying to unintentionally put this in the actual band's tag lmao #i dont have a good concise title for this one its just like. 50% Boothill and 50% my other fav hsr men. thats it thats the theme #also. dont fuckign come at me like 'but the 6th one isn't accurate! he wasn't born in a test tube!!' listen. i know.#he was found abandoned in the snow or smthn idk i haven't dug into his lore leaks yet but i Know. the first half isnt all that accurate #but the overall vibes of it are funny enough to me that i had to make it anyways. let's all just learn to suspend our disbelief a bit #for the sake of laughs. also also. hopefully it goes w/o saying but if something ever lacks a source it's bc i found it like that #i always leave the op's handles even if they dont fit the characters but sometimes the posts i find have already had them cropped out #which irks me bc i Try to be a stickler for giving credit. but anyways. enough overthinking the making of these silly memes #also. some of these are prob a bit more accurate only if you've seen some of Boothill's voiceline and message leaks but eh its fine

concept: ADA!Chuuya, but All Men Are Equal gave him total control of his ability by stabilizing it and getting rid of his permanent singularity, so he reverted to his original power: enhancing others' abilities.

Bonus:

#for my jokes to work this ability needs to either be always active (like no longer human HA)#or for chuuya to not have full control over it (doesn't really follow all men are equal)#i also think there's a 50/50 chance fukuzawa's ability is made up but that won't stop me from playing in this sandbox #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd fanart #bsd chuuya #bsd nakahara chuuya #ada!chuuya #ada!skk #armed detective agency #bsd dazai #skk #soukoku #bsd atsushi #bsd yosano #(looks at my collection of ada!chuuya: this bad boy can fit so many aus in him)#SPOILERS OOPS #bsd stormbringer spoilers #bsd storm bringer spoilers #nawy's comics #i have an alternate (less joke-y) vision for how chuuya would take it but it got angsty real quick and i didn't know how to end it #it might appear one day #we'll see #it liked the first part so i might use it on its own anyway #i mean kind of it's still unsure in the end

neil gaiman had a spot specifically reserved for him his books in the corner of my bookshelf at my childhood home and i miss it everyday

#let’s see i had #good omens #american gods #stardust #neverwhere #OH i had this giant annotated american gods book #it was originally $50 but at barnes and noble they were having a 50% hardcover sale and i got it for $25 >:)#that couldn’t fit on my bookshelf #so it went on my bedside table #i also had the good omens tv script book #i will never forget how i bought my friend this most beautiful illustrated copy of the ocean at the end of the lane #and i wanted to keep it SO BAD #but it was her 18th birthday and i thought it was very poignant #but when i gave it to her #i saw her put it on her read next list #i cannot describe the drop in my chest as i saw her scroll through her phone to place at the bottom at no. 169 #she still has not read it #neil gaiman

"Halsin shouldn't be that big or muscular or look middle aged because he's an elf and the lore sa-"

I actually think he should be bigger and look more middle aged, personally.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #the man has been non-stop stressed for a century like i'm surprised that didn't prematurely age him MORE #i think he *should* have silver hairs peppered throughout from the endless stress he's been under #and be built like a professional strong man with a significant healthy layer of fat because he *hibernates* and is *practically strong*#and because he says he likes sweet things and doesn't find any point in denying himself things he likes #so you're telling me that man is chiseled and cut like an unhealthy bodybuilder?#no i don't think so #'elf lore says-' this game is literally all about curbing your expectations when it comes to what people are 'meant' to be #elf lore says a lot of things that halsin fits *to a t* - his appearance being out of the 'norm' is not a flaw #but it doesn't matter then does it? only when he physically fits the species paradigm?#'that's not how elf aging works!' why not? you've seen how human's age yeah? different people age in different ways #you can line up ten 50 year olds next to one another and not a single one of them will look the same #the thing is that under every single umbrella there is diversity of experience #people will look and age differently from others - that's just how life and genetic diversity *works*#anyway this is a gripe at two different things at once don't mind me

I GOT INSPIRED BY THIS AMAZING, WITTY, LEGS-KICKING FIC BY @paris-23 >o<

Please do check their work, fanfiction and art!!! The Narrator feels like the Narrator (in character, and very British)

(Edit: I've read more of their work and it's INSANE!!! ALL OF THEM. Oh dear.)

PS. I changed up the dialogue a bit due to the lack of space and context. Inspired by the scene, but not quite the same! That is precisely why you should read it. Come on, give it a try~

PSS. the 2nd panel is heavily referenced, does the TSP fandom recognise the show? tehe

#the stanley parable #stanarrator #and #stannarrator #XD #which 'just the two of us' do you think fits them more?#building castles in the sky (canon in the game)#or #in this classroom in the sky (fits their dynamics)#dream sweet in sea major #is also a song tailored for the two of them ;)#fun fact: i have spun in the middle of the room like a helicopter for mins to test what number of spins is enough to make oneself collapse #fun conclusion: non-professional spinners please do not attempt more than 50 revolutions #(even 10-20 are sufficient)
