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

I can’t believe I have to say this again.
But like.
Do not leave comments that bash on the actual show whilst ‘complimenting’ my fanworks. It does not make me happy at all IN FACT I really HATE it when people do that.
I create stuff for this fandom because I adore the show with all its flaws and everything. I grew up with the show and I adore the characters so much. So when I receive comments or tags saying stuff like “Ugh if only the writers knew how to write like that” or “You should be in charge of canon cos canon is shit lol”, it just fucks up my mood and it makes me feel grossed out.
There are millions of things out there to write or say to other people about their work without having to bring down canon and what the actual professionals have worked on.
Keep your gripes about the show off my work.

K wait so... Wally talks to a future version of Irey in The Flash #771. This is 20 years in the future (making Irey and Jai 29 years old and the new West baby ~19).
This is after the events of the flash forward in the One Minute War Special as Jai reunites with Lilly in that story and Jai is dating Lilly 20 years in the future. We don't have a time frame on how long Jai and Lilly have been dating or how long it took them to get together after their reunion so we can't estimate the One Minute War Special's place on the timeline just yet.
What we do know is that Jai and Irey seem to be 18+. Irey is the Flash in the One Minute War Special and is not Kid Flash, an alias we know she uses in her later teen years. I would say, at minimum, the OMW Special takes place 10 years in the future. Most likely it would be around 13-15 years however.
So why is this interesting? Well 29 y/o Irey is wearing her Kid Flash costume and ~25 y/o Irey is the Flash with her own Flash costume. Likewise 29 y/o Jai sports an orange and white costume whereas younger Jai rocks a cool red and black suit. I did think it was odd that an almost 30 y/o Irey West would still be Kid Flash, so it makes complete sense to me now that she was attempting to obscure the future. She didn't want her father to know anything about the future as this could impact the timeline. Wally already knew about Irey becoming Kid Flash as a teenager so this costume wasn't new to him.
Jai, I guess, just made up a new costume as a red herring? Or possibly, this orange costume will be what he wears as a teenager?
Another interesting thing is that the new West baby would be around 9-14 in the OMW special... the Fraction kidnaps speedsters specifically meaning he has powers.... and neither Jai nor Irey is Kid Flash..... I don't know about you guys but the fact that Irey's Kid Flash is most likely her little brother is just so cute. It's adorable.

I think one of the most heartbreaking headcanons I have is that back when he was growing up in the Shimura house, Tenko got the opportunity to watch one of UA’s sports festivals once when no one else was around or were otherwise occupied (Kotaro being on a business trip and everyone else running errands).
During the tournament portion, he saw how one particular student was able to take away his opponent’s quirks, then beat those opponents using nothing but physical training and good strategy. Watching that student win fight after fight while practically quirkless himself blew Tenko’s mind, because it showed how he could still have a chance at being a hero even if he didn’t have a quirk, he just had to specialize in other ways.
While that student didn’t win the festival, he did manage to make it to third place. And as Tenko watched the student receive his bronze medal, he whispered in awe to the television…
“You’re so cool Aizawa!”

Here I go to spend several days by myself in the North Carolina wilderness. Wish me luck. Never gone camping alone (but I have my dogs, and I trust them more than any people I know), so that's intimidating. Hopefully I don't have to fistfight a bear over whatever I'm cooking that night. Not looking forward to no toilet or shower until Monday, but it is what it is. I absolutely have to do this, for my mental health. I'm losing so much money taking the time off work to just have mountain time to myself. But I gotta. My life has been such a chaotic mess for over half a year now - everything that could go wrong, has - and I've never felt so close to just letting myself snap. I can feel it boiling right under the surface at any given time.
But yeah. Should be a time. Might post pictures upon my return (provided a bear doesn't decide I'm on the menu). Wish me luck!
