Who Broke It?

Prism: So... who broke it? I'm not mad. I just want to know.

Ollie: I did. I broke-

Prism: No, no you didn't. Hivemind?

Hivemind: Don't look at me. Look at Charlie.

Charlie: What? I didn't break it.

Hivemind: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Charlie: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Hivemind: [leans in on him] Suspicious.

Reginald: If it matters - probably not - but Juniper was the last one to use it.

Juniper: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Reginald: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Juniper: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles; everyone knows that, Reggie!

Ollie: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Rox!

Prism: No! Who broke it??!

Juniper: Prism... Phoenix has been awfully quiet.

Phoenix: REALLY??

Juniper: Yeah! Really.

Phoenix: THE ONE TIME-

Prism (stepping away and facing the camera): I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

The mechanic

[teaboot]

I feel like if you're using a lot of disposable plastic bags in your day to day life, you've gotta do something sustainable to make up for it. Like using bamboo toilet paper or eco friendly cat litter or something, yknow

Honestly I exaggerate for comedic effect, while I DO routinely use ziplock bags to hold spaghetti I cook maybe once a month and the bag itself is usually for freezer storage. I actually throw out maybe one bag a week? I DO hate washing plates and tupperware and junk but that usually just means I eat sandwiches without a plate.

I agree though that needless waste should be avoided, and I do avoid it- biodegradable bags and recyclables, empty butter tubs used to store leftovers, etc.

This said, though, not applicable necessarily for myself but for a lot of others- I feel that it's importat to remember that there are many people who legitimately NEED things like plastic straws, or catheters, or pre-packaged foods

And the idea that that's a moral failing that individuals need to personally make up for when a single billionaire blows out more CO2 in a long weekend than I will in my whole life on a superjet meet-cute in the Bolivian rainforest between humvee drag races funded by the river-polluting textiles plants they planted in a third world country to avoid EPA laws and give an entire village stillbirths and stomach cancer is an idea that those very same bigwigs have spent a LOT of time and money investing in planting in the public psyche.

Like- Glass bottles are infinitely recyclable, so why are so many drinks in plastic now? Loads of drinks manufacturers used to buy them back and clean them for re-use, so why did they stop? If they chose to make something out of a limited and environmentally irresponsible material, why is it my failing to track down a correct process of disposal for them? What if there are none in my area? Do I lobby for more recycling plants in my area? Do I set aside some of my limited time outside the pain factory of my job- which I have more than one of, thanks to rising costs of things just like that drink I just emptied- to properly dispose of this company's waste FOR them?

Say coca-cola just rolled up to your town and started dumping millions of empty plastic bottles in the street, going, "wow, you should really think about building and staffing a recycling depot, it would be really shameful of you to just put these in the trash." When companies purposefully use materials with limited lifespans- because yes, even plastic can only be reused so many times- and tell you it's your own fault if it harms the environment- that's essentially what they're doing, just with more steps.

Yes, its important to be as environmentally concious as we can in our day to day life, but responsible sustainability is not catholicism. We don't get good boy points from our lord and savior Captain Planet every time the average low-income household gathers together to hold hands and repent for a single-use plastic that allows them to access something they need.

Entire families could eat trees and shit dead lithium batteries for years and still not do as much damage to the planet as an average dye plant or braindead celebrity does in a week just for fun, and I'm mad about it

...this went on longer than intended.

TL/DR: DO recycle and minimize waste, but don't beat yourself up over the little waste you can't avoid, and follow the money.

What if I just... become a multifandom blog?

Okay so I was scrolling through YouTube shorts on my computer, cuz for some reason it's so much more interesting on there, and I saw this short, and immediately got possessed.

I do not need another au I do not need another au I do not need another au-

The narrator was almost done putting together his player, a nice, curious guy named Stanley. He drew small lines across Stanley’s hair, detailing the projection that would come to life to play through his story. He'd been working on this for a matter of weeks, yet Stanley still didn't look quite right. He'd tried his best but the render had gone a bit wonky, so Stanley ended up having paper white skin with void black hair, and he seemed a bit… well, flat, at least to the narrator. Oh well, perhaps when he came to life it would fix that, make him a bit more… 3D, or at least he hoped.

The narrator walked away as he finished the details on his player, and gave it one last look before shutting the door. Best not to dwell on things, surely it would fix itself in the morning when it came time to bring his creation to life. The narrator shut the door, thinking nothing more of it, having fully convinced himself everything would be fine.

Stanley sat in the creation room, limp and flat as the light from the projector beamed down hard on him. Maybe a touch… too hard. The light started to grow mysteriously in intensity, the room getting brighter and brighter until Stanley started to shake. His skin began to vibrate and his mouth twitched downward, itching to get out. Stanley shook until the light became too bright and powerful for even the outlet to handle, and short circuited the entire building into blackness. The narrator, of course, did not notice this, as he'd been gone from the building long before the lights started to flicker. He didn't think much of it, because everything would work out in the morning, it had to, he'd convinced himself, there was no other option.

Except for in the dark room where Stanley lay, twitching as the broken light flickered in front of him. Stanley barely lifted a finger, and he began to crack, right down the middle, a searing white light sliding itself down his face, his torso, and finally, his legs. It didn't feel like much, for Stanley could hardly feel anything at all. Even when his bright white eyes shot open, nothing but a single dot of black in them for his pupils. He looked around, struggling to get off the page, where was he?

*The Collector theme song starts playing*

...

My hand slipped. Think I'll call this The Collector au, I know, very creative, i'm open to suggestions. ANYWAYS, I think I'll probably write a little bit more about this guy. Y'all interested?

I was more invested in the silly subplot about Po's dads going on a quest to find him than I was Po's quest to stop the chameleon and it's sad that I'm not joking 😭

truly one of the most annoying things in modern landscape of media is watching your beloved movies get either ugly and always worse 'remakes' or get more and more sequels until it turns into a cruel joke of mediocrity

(i saw a single screenshot of shrek 5 and wish i had never seen it, 1 and 2 are very good movies and very important to me but anything after that is just tasteless desperate attempts to keep it going after gettign the perfect ending...)
