Ok, ok ok. I need to go on an autism again.
I'm not a massive fan of megaman, I'm no good at the games, but I really like Battle Network and the lore and everything. WITH THAT SAID.
My favorite robot master ever is Dust Man. Here's why:
Skull man is cool and all, and his area is spooky, but his abilities and music don't really reflect that. He's a bit edgey, but no more so than say, Snake Man.
No, the reason it's Dust Man, is because while Skull Man represents the concept of death to humans, Megaman wouldn't even be a little afraid of that. The concept of decay, of flesh rotting into bone, etc, they're just not something that lands for him.
Dust Man on the other hand. He's a giant... what is he? Vaccum? Trash Compactor? I dunno, he's a garbage cleaning robot, is what he is.
Dust Man's stage is a vast junkyard full of scrapped robot parts. He and his area serve as a stark reminder to Megaman that one day a vital piece of his hardware will fail, and he will either have it replaced and won't be himself anymore, or he'll be scrapped for something newer and better. Dust Man stands in stark contrast to every robot master that the Blue Bomber has trashed before, as a reminder that he will inevitably one day join them.
Sure, we can't exactly read Megaman's emotions during the stages and such, but I have to imagine this terrifies him.

Okaeri BkDk Week Day 1
Mornings/Chores/Renovations
The curtains were yanked aside, harsh sunlight scorching his closed eyes.
Izuku groaned, burying his head under the pillow. “It’s Sunday, Katsuki!”
“Thanks for stating the obvious. Now get the fuck up! We’ve got chores to do.”
Izuku didn’t move, still on his stomach.
Katsuki was the one who respected his biological clock and went to bed at an appropriate time. Yes, nine p.m is the apt bedtime for a man in the prime time of his youth.
Izuku was the type to experiment how long his body could go without sleep until he’s a human ping pong ball (his current record is thirty-two hours and no Kacchan doesn’t know, shush) and hibernate throughout the weekend.
“Ok enough is enough, I said wake up.”
No response.
Katsuki felt his eye twitch, the final thread of patience snapping.
Izuku’s danger sense flickered at the last moment as the mattress tipped over like titanic, clinging onto it for dear life.
Katsuki jerked the mattress like wringing laundry, letting Izuku fall smack on his face.
“Ow. I think you broke my nose.”
“You’ve had worse.” Katsuki placed the mattress back on the bed and kicked Izuku lightly before crossing over his fallen body to get out of the room.
At least he didn’t wake him up with the vaccum cleaner on the highest, noisiest possible setting.
Izuku yawned, scratching his neck as he entered the kitchen. “I hate you.” He said while pressing a kiss atop Katsuki’s head when he handed him his green tea.
“Like I care.” Katsuki scoffed, leaning into him. The two sat in silence by their kitchen island, shoulders pressed together.
They found solace from their chaotic hero lives in the comfortable silence of their home. Izuku wished he could just stay like this the whole day, uninterrupted.
Katsuki moved away from Izuku’s side, stretching. “Come, let’s get done with the chores.”
Izuku should have crossed his fingers. “Kacchan, it’s the one day we don’t have to call in for work. Haven’t you heard of the term relaxing?”
“You’ve been ‘relaxing’ for the past three weekends.” Katsuki rolled eyes, swatting the back of Izuku’s head lightly. “Come on Deku! You promised you’d help re-do the kitchen.”
“Yes Kacchan, I’ll get to it.” Izuku sighed, resigning himself to his fate. Renovations usually meant Katsuki using him to clean fans and the top of the kitchen cabinets; places Katsuki couldn’t reach and hence exploiting his husband’s inhumane height
Izuku looked around for something to do as Katsuki went about his share of the chores. Well, Katsuki had always been on his case to drill a couple of nails on the walls for a clock and some photos.
Picking up the electric drill, the drill needle whirring dangerously. Whistling to himself, he fixed the nail, the plaster falling off the wall—
— right where Katsuki had just finished mopping.
The look in his eyes was that of trying to incinerate Izuku on spot.
He got that look a lot.
.
.
.
“Alright, you start with cleaning the cutlery.” Katsuki brought out his extensive stash of cleaning supplies, designated washcloths for dusting, drying, one specifically for plates, one for the countertops and one for the windows.
Izuku put on his apron, soaking their wedding china in a tub full of water and dishwashing liquid. Their parents were coming for dinner tonight and Katsuki needed the set to be sparkling clean.
While drying one of the plates, the plate slipped out of his hands and Izuku’s heart almost stopped. The china fell towards the ground in slow motion, Izuku shutting his eyes. He couldn’t bear to the see the cause of his death actually play out.
He waited for the crash but it never came, cracking an eyelid open. Katsuki was kneeling on the floor, the plate clapped between his hands like he was trying to kill a mosquito.
The ‘Murder Izuku’ look was back again.
“If anything had happened to my set…” Danger sense was going off like alarm bells in his head.
Fortunately, Katsuki left it at that, going back to their work. The rest of the day went smoothly, Izuku following Katsuki around the house as he pointed at the stuff that needed to be fixed.
They didn’t talk much, Katsuki dusting the shelves while Izuku folded the laundry, an old melody playing on the radio in the background.
They didn’t need to talk. Katsuki and Izuku were never the type to explore or plan elaborate dates. They preferred a quiet evening.
The rhythmic chopping of the knife against the cutting board joined the music. Izuku was on chopping duty, sitting by the island in the kitchen, shelling peas and occasionally turning around when Katsuki asked him to taste the soup.
Basking in the silence, the top heroes of Japan could feel the stress and tension from the week bleed away as they relaxed.
Yeah, this was home.

Not an IT person but felt like giving my unsolicited Arson advice(tm). Have you tried opening it up and taking a vaccum to it? Part of the problem could be dust suffocating it? Otherwise please take care and don't let him burn you any further.
I have but you know what this ask reminded me I haven't cleaned out the fans in a while, at least 3 months, lemme grab the screw drivers and pop open the back

How to treat your laptop with love & shit on capitalism:
I don’t know who needs to hear about this, probably few because I’m usually the last one picking up a nifty idea: If you have a laptop that seems to start working a lot less well due to shutting the fuck down when you lift it and you’re also a poor motherfucker (like me) who can’t afford proper cooling down stuff for your electronics, this is what you do: 1. Open the lid to the system stuff. Unscrew the cover of the fan and use your vaccum cleaner to suck the dust out of it. Normal, small little screwdrivers work perfectly for this. 2. Put the shit back together and go get three plastic freeze packs that should come with your freezer - if not, they’re cheap to buy. 3. Wrap the packs in a plastic bag - this is important - and then wrap either a pillowcase or a kitchen towel around the package. The three packs should lay next to each other in the bag!  4. Now you place your freshly vacuumed laptop onto this little cooling tray and plug in the charger to fully load the battery. 5. If necessary, use the charging/cooling time to run a disc defragmentation or virus scan, while letting the system remain cool and spare the fan. 6. When your laptop is fully charged and works a lot more quiet, you remove it from the cooling tray, make sure nothing’s wet and put the freeze packs back in the freezer. I bought my laptop from my brother in 2015. It’s not an overly expensive one and was used when I bought it for around 200 bucks (not sure what that would be with todays inflation and shit, but you get the idea). I have used this motherfucker daily for seven years now and it still works like a charm - if I make sure to do this little cooling down procedure regularly.  Remember, this shit was USED for a couple of years BEFORE I bought it an the “life expectancy” for a laptop is about 3-5 years.  There’s one HELL of a difference between 5 and 7 years, let alone 3 and 7. AND IT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY! With the help of a vaccuum cleaner, 3 freezer backs, a plastic bag, a pillow case and a small screwdriver, this baby hasn’t given me ANY signs of giving in.  Capitalism wants to make us buy new stuff and by refusing to give in to this shitty idea that electronics “are supposed to break within a couple of years”, you will save money AND give capitalism the finger while also giving a little highfive to the environment.

Roomba Fighter || Bucky x Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: You move to a new house with Bucky. When you both start cleaning, something unexpected happens. Bucky meets Roomba vacuum cleaner for the very first time
Warnings: None, just scared Bucky.
Words: 1105
Authors: Cass & Toro
Tumblr media
You sighed deeply looking around the flat.
You loved to share your life with Bucky but you had to admit that he wasn't the type of cleaner at all.
You went to meet him at upper floor of your new, common flat and looked at him with serious face. "Bucky... It's time to clean." You said firmly, crossing arms over your chest.
He was still in bed. Bucky opened his eyes and gave you a lazy glance. "Can't we do this a bit later? It's only..." he checked the clock at the nightstand, "it's only 8am, Y/N! I am not used to get up at such early hour and you know this."
Bucky took your pillow and put it onto his face, hiding under it.
"Bucky! No, we can't! We need to do this now. The sooner we start, the sooner we will finish." You said taking the pillow off his face. "Come on now, move your sexy ass."
Bucky growled loudly. He got up reluctantly, running hand through his hair. "What with breakfast? I'm hungry." He grunted lazily, yawning shortly after.
You smiled and kissed his cheek. "So go grab a snack. The fridge is full, sweetie. Go and I will plan our work here. House is big and there are only two of us." You explained.
Bucky rolled his eyes and went to a drawer. He pulled out too big T-shirt and put it on. He decided to not change his sweatpants though. "Okaaay. Let it be. But I won't be vacuuming, ya know I hate it." He shrugged and went downstairs.
You looked at him and bit your lips, admiring his features. "Oh! I know. Don't worry about this. I will take care of it for you." You waved your hand and followed him. "You know, I think I'll take the bottom part of house and you will clean the upper one. What do you think?"
"Whatever suits you." Bucky replied as he opened the fridge.
He grabbed a sausage and took a bite. "I can clean our bedroom. And wash floors. I don't know." He responded with full mouth as he was chewing.
You rolled your eyes. "First swallow, then talk, Buck. You know, no talking with a full mouth." You smiled at him. "I'm glad you're so eager to clean, sweetie! So we do as I say. You take top and I take bottom. Just do everything that needs to be done on the upper part."
He shrugged as he swallowed. "Yea. I know, m'kay? Imma big boy, I kinda now how to tide flat up, yea?" He patted your arm. "Don't ya worry, child, you'll be happy with my work."
He smiled briefly at you, then he simply left kitchen to go upstairs.
You sighed heavily and shrugged. "Well, if you say so, old guy." You shook your head and also left the kitchen. You quickly went upstairs to find your new Roomba cleaner. "Bucky's gonna love this little robot. He hates vacuuming. Hope you will do your job, little buddy." You giggled and turned it on, putting it onto floor.
Bucky ended cleaning your common bedroom and bathroom. "Hmmm. What's next?" Bucky rubbed his beard as he was thinking what to do next. It was when Barnes heard some strange noises from the corridor.
You hummed a happy tune while cleaning shelves from the dust.
When you were done, you looked around. "Okay, shelves are done. What now... What now?" You questioned yourself, snapping your fingers.
Bucky slowly made it to the door. He slowly half-opened them and sticked his head out, taking a look.
His heart stopped for a second when he spotted little form on the floor, several feets away.
He instinctively closed the door and leaned his back over them. He was breathing loudly. "What the fuck..." He whispered as he heard the noises got closer to his door.
You continued to hum your tune, walking around the living room and cleaning whatever you could find.
"Wonder how Bucky is doing up there. He and little robot. I think I'm gonna name it." You thought out loudly, cleaning the coffee table.
Meantime, Bucky found a courage and opened the door again. He walked out of the room when noises vanished.
He slowly walked along corridor. Suddenly, he stopped. Bucky heard some humming noise behind his back. He slowly turned his head around and paled.
The little thing he have seen a moment before has just driven out of the guest room. Not only that, it was going slowly directly in his direction!
Bucky looked around and grabbed only thing he found - a mop.
"You little fucker!" He yelled and hit metal surface with the stick. "Y/N! Come here now! I think someone's spying us with some creepy device!"
You blinked and quickly ran to Bucky. "WHAT?! What, happened? Who is spying? What creepy device?!" You asked these questions, looking around, confused.
You bursted with a loud laugh when you saw the robot. "Bucky... Sweetie. Really?" You asked, wiping tears away.
"What's so funny, huh?!" Bucky yelled. He patted the device with the stick. "I bet someone's spying on us. Maybe someone from Hydra came here when we were gone and left this little machine." Bucky suggested seriously as he knelt down and took the thing in his hands. "Such a hellish device..."
You laughed and took the device from him. "You know, this 'hellish device' is ours and it's not spying on you. It's cleaning all dirt and crumbs that you left on this floor, sweetie." You explained and looked at him, turning the device off. "Bucky, meet the Roomba cleaner."
"Roo... Room-what?" He cocked his brows, tilting his head. "What do you mean by OURS? Why haven't I seen this shit before?" He started to wave his hands. "I almost had a heartattack!"
"Roomba cleaner. Our little robot that vaccum the floor. You said you hate vacuuming. So I decided to buy it as a surprise for you." You shrugged and giggled. "Nah! Don't be so dramatic, handsome." You said before kissing his cheek.
"Next time, just don't do such a things to me without informing me." Bucky giggled shorty. "Roomba cleaner... Hah! I have a better name for it. Vacuuming monster."
"I was thinking about naming it Sam. I mean, you already hate it and you hate him, so maybe?" You shrugged and giggled. "I'll never forget how scared you were. All because of this little thing." You shook your head.
Bucky rolled his eyes, laughing and running fingers through his long hair. "Ah, you." He giggled. "I'll never be cleaning again!"

Fan Theory- Shiro
Okay, so I don’t know if anyone else has come up with this idea (they probably have), but since Season 2 left me on such a huge cliffhanger, I’m jumping aboard the fan theory wagon. Voltron S2 spoilers below.
So Shiro just ups and disappears at the end of the last episode. That’s our cliffhanger. So where the heck did he go? They didn’t kill him like we were scared they would (since he died in the original), but if it doesn’t still tear my heartstrings out.
I think the answer lies in the lions, specifically the black lion. It’s been made clear in the show and especially in the opening credits that each lion is attributed to some kind of element. Red is fire. Blue is water/ice. Yellow is earth (or at least rocks and minerals) and Green is... life? They pretty much said the space dust that makes up all lifeforms... so yeah I’m going to go with life or at least the basic building blocks of it.
So what is Black? It’s never really addressed except for the opening when Black destroys a Galra ship and flies into- wait for it- SPACE. So does that mean Shiro’s lion can control space? Probably not since space is just an empty vaccum.
BUT, what about something that’s been talked about since S1? The thing that has been the driving force behind Zarkon and the Galra? Something that the Alteans respected and it seems to be a major part of the universe’s make up: Quintessence.
It’s what’s been keeping Zarkon alive for 10,000 years. Maybe even Hagar too. We know Zarkon was the original paladin for the Black Lion. If the Black lion controls or is at least attributed with Quintessence, maybe that’s how Zarkon got addicted to it in the first place. From what I gather, it’s energy. Pure energy that binds everything (haha! the Force). The Galra have been enslaving planets and harvesting their quintessence until there’s nothing left and planets, like the Balmera and Taujeer, just die. 
So we assume that Zarkon, and now Shiro, have a connection to quintessence because they have been pilots of the Black Lion. So what was that realm that they were fighting on in S2E7? We know Shiro didn’t physically leave the Castle of Lions and Zarkon didn’t leave his flagship. So it must be some wibblywobbly, mindywindy space magic right? Or maybe a quintessential plane of existence? Sure explains how Shiro was able to steal the black bayard away from Zarkon without actually physically touching him in the last battle.
And speaking of the last battle. In S1E6, Haggar and her druids suck the quintessence of a planet. In the last battle, Kolivan says that her method destroys planets. And who gets hit straight on with it? VOLTRON! THE ENTIRE TEAM SHOULD BE DEAD! BUT GUESS WHAT? THEY’RE NOT! I WONDER WHY! Hmmmmmmmm.... Could it be that one of their members and their lion’s power involves quintessence and was able to resupply the quintessence they just lost? Not only that, but Shiro is the first one to wake up after the initial hit, but twice is the last to wake up after other hits. 
My theory is this. Shiro didn’t really know it, but he has supplied his team with what little quintessence he could. In doing this, his hold on the physical plane became disrupted and he used all his strength and energy to stay and finish the fight. After the final blow to Zarkon, Shiro lost his hold and essentially became faded into quintessence. That’s why there’s nobody. If he just died because his quintessence was all used up, there would still be a corpse because that’s what happened to the planets. But if his whole being became quintessence itself, that’s a different matter. But where would Shiro’s disembodied quintessence go? Fade into space?
Or maybe he is trapped inside Black lion. We already know the lions have some level of sentience. I think Black lion took in Shiro’s quintessential form and is keeping it inside herself for his protection. Now the question is... how to get him out.

Cleaning with chronic illness
Cleaning was a struggle for me before I got sick. Dust and mold and pet dander make my asthma flare. Cleaning chemicals and products make my asthma flare and my skin break out.
Now that I've gotten sicker and I use a cane to walk, cleaning is a rough road. I choose to do my chores still because it helps me feel like I contribute to the family and to the upkeep of the house. I do dishes (haven't figured out a trick, but I've given up three days a week to help), I go the floors (using a vogmask and breaks and a fan, to keep me cool and prevent an asthma attack), I clean my room (asking for help washing or fabric spraying my weighted blanket, a vogmask for my lungs and a spinny chair to wheel around the room), and my laundry (again the spinny chair). I pick up other chores on the better days.
I'm learning, slowly, I can't do it all. I need help and some chores hurt my joints too much. I don't lift the vaccum or mop bucket (I actually switched to a mop with a built in sprayer!!) And down days I need someone to hang my laundry.
But overall it's a challenge I want to keep facing, just so I feel like I'm a help instead of a burden.

Spring Cleaning
Something that isn’t talked about nearly enough (mental illness in general isn’t discussed and normalized enough) is the effect of the winter season on mental health. The days get shorter, and the dark gets longer. Depression has an easy foothold.
I was able to get myself up and moving every day. I went to work, commuting an hour each way, working second shift. Most nights I don’t get home until almost 1 am. I sleep in late because my circadian rhythms have shifted on the 24 hr scale. My house suffered.
It’s easy to put off every-day chores, when just getting out of bed and showered is chore enough. You take your meds, but you don’t get enough vitamin D. You probably don’t drink enough water. And your mental health, and subsequently your craft and energy, suffer.
Don’t feel bad. You made it. It was hard, some days it was so damn hard . But here you are. That is an accomplishment worthy of Hercules. So now what?
Cleanse. Inside and out. Scrub the grime off your windows, let in some sunlight. Wipe down your windowsills and baseboards. Vaccum all the dust and pet hair out of the corners and off the ceiling fans and lights. Play some music you can dance to, and don’t give a fuck about someone seeing you. Open a window, even if it’s a little chilly out, and let some fresh air in while ushering the stuffy, dirty out back out.
Light some incense. Do you have a specific spirit, deity, or what-have-you? Invite them back into yourself and your home. Open and use that candle you bought: don’t save things for “special occasions”, make every day of your life a special occasion.
Breathe in the clean air and peace of a dust-free environment. Breathe out the negativity that’s been growing like a mold inside the dark of yourself. Remind yourself, as you scrub, that you’re sweeping away the cobwebs both physically and spiritually. Your home is your own personal shrine, to yourself and your craft. Make it shine.
Now. Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the work you’ve done and the goals you’ve accomplished. Don’t beat yourself up if there’s still more to do. Accept that you are mortal, and fallible, and bask in the achievements you earn. Then, wake up and do it again tomorrow. You might fall off the wagon, so to speak. You might start out with a list, and a schedule, and the best of intentions. Do what you can, and be kind to yourself.
Go drink some water.

Encore - May
It is odd to think that now at the end of May, just over a year ago I started at Capital. I feel as though I have come a long way since my first month in the industry last year however similar to my start at Capital,  the first half of May was largely spent painting speakers in the run up to the festival season. It just goes to show that whether small or large, in the live sound industry appearance is everything!
As well as painting, much of May has been spent taking apart and refurbishing an ex-install from SHAPES club in London which is closing down. Much of the equipment is due to be sold to an overseas buyer in Israel as it is mostly older Q-Series which Encore already has a large inventory of. So, over the course of a week, to make it fit for sale I was tasked with taking all the metal rigging off all the subs and tops, respraying them, repainting the enclosures, refoaming the grills and then testing them.
We also took in 4 D12 amplifiers from SHAPES that were so full of dust and dirt that some of the radiator fans didnt turn properly. I had to take these apart and remove the fans completley to clean them properly. Fortunatley though dirty, the dust was dry so the foam was perfectly fine after a wash.

Some of the dirt was compact and solid and needed more than just a quick vaccum clean but it was perfectly acheivable after some persistence.
