#heatwave help

[techmomma]

For those with homes built to keep heat in, not let it out: aluminum foil your windows, shiny side out. Cover the window, tape up the sides, maybe tape cardboard behind it to help insulate from the heat outside and absorb heat that gets through the foil.

Love, a former Californian, whose had to keep houses cool without any electricity.

P.S. this is a method endorsed by FEMA and the Department of Energy, so if you need more than anecdotal evidence, there ya go.

how do you feel about the rain?

"It drowns or minces you to death if you stay out for too long... 0/10, terrible. At least I made it here in time..."

*Martha inviting Clark and Lois into the Kent family home: "I'm so glad you could come visit us. Oh by the way, these are our new neighbors. they're from the city too!"

*Gestures to Heatwave and Livewire in the living room eating pie on the sofa.

*Livewire/Heatwave: 'O_O'....

*Clark/Lois: 'O_O'....

"They just bought up the ol' Jenkin's farm a few months ago. They were a struggling for a while at first. Didn't realize farming is harder than it looks. But the community came together to show em what to do. Now their chickens make the freshest eggs in town. I usually trade one of my blueberry pies with them on Sundays for a dozen. I'm sure you'll get along!"

*Livewire/Heatwave: 'O_O'....

*Clark/Lois: 'O_O'....

*Heatwave whispering to Clark and Lois "You'd better not ruin this for us..."

He just got off a call with Optimus that didn’t last even 30 seconds

“You will be fine, they’re not much to deal with!”

Not even getting a chance to stop Optimus from leaving the call, Hightide is once again left with the “hatchlings,” as he calls them. How fun!!! 🥰

I've been in a mood for updating character refs and I knew I had to redesign Sunstone/Daybreak for a long while now, so I'm posting this ref dump with comparisons just to fun. Sunstone is Starlight's brother so I kinda wanted him to look more similar to her (at least in his sandwing form). His alter ego also got a slight redesign. Also I thought that Halcyon (design credit goes to the lovely @snaill-dragon of course) deserved a better ref, since the last one was a bit confusing.

Fuck it, I'm buying myself a bucket of ice cream today. It won't help with anything. But I'll have a bucket of ice cream

Help Mohammed and his family purchase a battery powered fan.

As this summer breaks records around the world, temperatures in Gaza have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius some days which is magnified under the tents of the forcibly displaced. Conditions are getting worse and worse in the Gaza Strip and the heat only adds an extra torment.

I've shared Mohammed's campaign before (1, 2...) and while that still needs donations to meet the goal, this is an immediate need also and I've been asked to share the request.

This was one of his recent stories:

Every day he talks about how the young ones especially are suffering.

Please help Mohammed and family purchase a fan by donating to their PayPal @14ivillalpando (Isabella Iwhiwhu). Isabella is also a recipient listed on the GoFundMe campaign and you can message Mohammed directly for more information on Instagram if you're on there.

If you're able to donate please also send a screenshot showing the donation was made to help them keep track. That can be sent either to Mohammed directly through his Instagram, again if you're on there, or to me here so I can forward to Mohammed if not.

The goal for the purchase is $300 USD and I will share updates as I get them. They don't have a PayPal.Me link set up and I'm just doing what I can to help them. There are so many needs in the Strip.

Please help if you can! 🙏🏾

Slowly but surely getting there.

I'd say a good 75% of the work is done. Still need to finish the rendering on this bad boy (haha) and then it will be just some (minor) shading touch-ups + adding highlights and fix the background.

In other words, still a lot to do.

[littleseasalt]

Outlier!Au

"AHG! Watch out!"

"Your arm is almost open" Boulder took again Heatwave's arm with care but steady, so, he wouldn't retire it again

"At least be more careful!"

"I'm as careful as possible, you're just too negligent with it" Boulder said, always with calm, compared to Heatwave's resonating voice "I'm still wandering how it didn't rust on all this time"

"I'm still wondering why you're still here"

Both bots shut down, not looking at each other, actually, Boulder just acted like it didn't matter and continued with their business on Heatwave's arm, more accomplished to his grumpy non-sense than the first day, weird, it usually scare them away and go without a word or a speech but today Boulder was quiet and concentrated, maybe Heatwave just needed a new way

"Did you run out of ideas?"

"Eh?" Heatwave ask for the weird question after a strange silence

"Finally! You had been acting like a sparkling since you came" Boulder replied contemptuously

"How do you dare?" Heatwave yelled with anger

"How do YOU dare?" Boulder said sarcastically "I'm just helping you without complain, how is that so hard for you to accept?"

"I don't need it- AHG!! FRAG!" A hugging ache surrounded Heatwave's arm, distracting him of his anger and making his chassis and the rest of his limbs twist "WHAT THE FRAG HAPPENS WITH YOU!!"

"Just a little..." Boulder lay down on a keg of water the hot plate and with a pair of medical tweezers finally united the metal of the arm, sticking it with a special glue "done" they got away "how is it?"

"Burning" Heatwave let out a growl and a killer gaze "why you didn't told me you had to burn me?!"

"You said you could resist it"

"I DIDN'T KNEW YOU HAD TO BURN MY FRAGGING ARM"

"If you accepted the anesthesia, you could resist it, but you are to afraid of needles"

"NEEDLES ARE POINTY!"

"Most of your weapons are pointy! For what's all that strength and that mad look when you're a coward!"

Heatwave tried to say something, but when he felt his lost look betray him, he preferred to take it away, bad decision, because when he tried to cross his arms, the sensibility on his recently healed nerves and veins under the burned metal made him growl out a thread of breath, at the same time, the hard breathing made his chest gain some pressure due to the just repaired dent, with the horrible breathing he tried to move again, meeting the stitch on his almost broken knee, frag, there wasn't any single comfortable position

"Which color do you prefer?" Boulder distract him, showing two pieces of fabric on each servo, being replied by a undignified look

"Are you kidding?" He raised an elbow

"Red will be then" Boulder said, throwing the blue one and placing the red fabric on Heatwave's shoulder, positioning his arm comfortable "tell me if it's too-"

"Gh!"

"Got it" Boulder knot the fabric, making sure it was steady, "You know? red is your color" Boulder said, looking at his grayish and old metal of Heatwave´s body, there wasn´t a single drop of color except pink splashes. Both were too close "now, let's see your optics"

"More?!" Heatwave yelled with high voice

"Yes, more! That guy you fought today was rough" Boulder got even closer, getting a little lantern from the table and turning it on

"Not enough to kill me" Heatwave hold still himself on the bright of the lantern

"Almost, you could have lost your arm or got asphyxiated by your own vents" Boulder tried to keep open the optic, but Heatwave's reflexes were stronger than they

"Yeah, yeah, things of all days" Heatwave complained sarcastically

"Are you tired?" Boulder asked, lighting the other optic

"No"

"You sure? The pupils are reacting slowly" Boulder turned off the lantern and got away from him "you should rest, I´ll see how are you in the morning"

"It´s dangerous to go alone at these hours"

"I need to be early on the station and I´m a mess thanks to you" Boulder pointed to the pink splashes on their own metal "Now do you feel better?"

"No"

"Good" Boulder told and went to a shelf, getting the slow and low voice as a yes, but Heatwave´s too proud and sarcastic to admit it, Boulder made like they were moving things on the shelf, waiting in silence... a snore got into their audial, got it. Boulder turned around and found Heatwave with closed optics and a little breath, sure, he was in pain but the tiredness was way worse, Boulder took the blue fabric, a needle, a transparent bag with liquid and support, first, Boulder put carefully the blue fabric on Heatwave´s neck to make him comfortable, then, they took Heatwave´s hand carefully and placing steady and sure the needle in the middle of the metal of the arm and the beginning of the palm, a reflex made his fingers move but not a single reaction on his face plate was made, Boulder places the bag on the support and made sure the liquid was passing through, then, Boulder supervised Heatwave´s breathing and pulse, all on the average under the situation but a little below of what Boulder wanted, the serum should act quickly though.

And, well, Heatwave was right, the surroundings of the gladiatorium were dangerous at those hours and Heatwave needed supervision, maybe stay was the best option now, and a yawn Boulder gave when they finally relaxed a little just made them more sure. Sleeping on the floor wasn´t new for them, it wasn´t cold at least and there were some fabrics on the shelf to use for comfort, finally falling asleep under the pressure of the day...
