yeah i caved. welcome spideysona

their universe is 1990s san francisco. by day they work as a struggling writer for the bugle, sort of following in the footsteps of (movie-adjacent) eddie brock; by night they’re spider-scrawl, fighting systemic injustice, writers’ block, and the occasional mad scientist invention. his world is less rife with supernatural evils than most, but he’s also fucking with the government and corporations and all, so it balances out

their unique thing is that they have, like, shitty meta clairvoyance in the form of inherently understanding tropes, clichés, story structure, etc. like if cinemasins/wins were a superhero. they were approached to join the society because miguel thought they’d be chill or even helpful with canon events—unfortunately scribble here is not whatsoever into following rigid plot structure for the sake of unnecessary thematic suffering, saw the plot twist a miles away, and peaced. but not before snagging a day pass so they could watch atsv in person

they never take off their mask, and no one knows their name—he says it’s because he doesn’t want to lose his identity in a sea of spider-people, leading most to theorize that san-fran-spidey is some flavor of peter parker, but who’s to say for sure? the doylist reason, which he is in fact aware of, is that i don’t know either lol

...older Fire Lord Zuko with a sheer top and his tits out you say?

ID: three drawings of aged-up zuko from Avatar the last airbender as fire lord. on the left side a full body of zuko front view. In the middle, zuko from the waist up leaning over a cluttered table growling and spitting flames at the viewer. In the third image on the right, zuko from the waist up sits bored and exhausted in his chair. cluttered desk and paperwork in front of him. End ID

I probably did advertise the sheer top wrong! it's more like a robe! just… a bit seethrough… because… you know… self-indulgence…? for me… ? for us? (yes he only has one lense in his his glasses becasue we in the fandom just know why!)

trading our scheduled hunter awfulness for some luz awfulness. come on this journey with me

concept: offshoot of the worst timeline. hunter is "dead," or at least luz truly believes he is. she's trapped in the human world with belos. he has yet to get hit by a train and/or fall off a cliff, luz has yet to try to escape because she Does Not Care. they're in some abandoned cabin way deeper in the woods than the old house in gravesfield (because in the suburbs i think the neighbors would call the cops).

this is an Extremely unpleasant time period that doesn't bear thinking about, unless you're me and having a terrible pain day and need to think about your blorbos having a worse day than you are. belos is awful. luz is miserable. everything sucks. et cetera

after like, i dunno, three or four whole weeks of luz still being Despondent (and Boring), belos is like. well. this is ridiculous. you've had plenty of time to grieve. time to get over it!!

luz does Not get over it. obviously.

belos does what any concerned parent would do. & sources a pair of memory tweezers. (he Must have brought them with him, tbh. for "just in case".)

and then. proceeds to start burning her memories of hunter.

PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC.

Rafael is driven by his independence and his anger, fighting for what he believes in and deems right to free his people and return peace to Medici. But his tendency to push people away blurs the lines between selflessness and self-destruction, and his desperation for control greatly overshadows the true lack thereof— and it has turned his spark into an all-consuming forest fire, with no way to douse the flames. And everything burned, as promised. OC WEB WEAVE SERIES: RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ.

The 8 Essential Fire Fighting Systems for Commercial High-Rise Buildings

In the complex ecosystem of urban landscapes, high-rise buildings stand as monumental achievements of architectural and engineering prowess. However, these towering structures present unique challenges when it comes to fire safety. The potential for rapid fire spread, combined with the difficulties in evacuation and fire department access, necessitates a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to fire protection. This blog will explore the essential fire fighting systems required in commercial high-rise buildings, emphasizing the importance of each component in ensuring the safety of occupants and the integrity of the structure.

1. Automatic Sprinkler Systems

Automatic sprinkler systems are the cornerstone of fire suppression in high-rise buildings. These systems are designed to detect and suppress fires at their early stages, minimizing damage and preventing the fire from spreading. Sprinklers are strategically placed throughout the building and connected to a reliable water supply. When heat from a fire activates a sprinkler head, water is discharged directly onto the flames, reducing the fire's intensity and limiting its spread.

The effectiveness of automatic sprinkler systems in high-rise buildings cannot be overstated. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), buildings equipped with sprinklers experience significantly lower fire-related fatalities and property damage. The key advantages of sprinkler systems include immediate response, localized suppression, and continuous protection, even when the building is unoccupied.

2. Fire Alarm and Detection Systems

A robust fire alarm and detection system is critical for ensuring early detection and prompt evacuation. These systems typically comprise smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, and alarm notification appliances such as horns and strobes. In high-rise buildings, it is crucial to have a network of detectors that can identify the presence of smoke or fire at the earliest possible moment.

When a detector senses smoke or heat, it sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, which then activates the building's alarm system. This immediate alert not only prompts occupants to evacuate but also notifies the fire department, allowing for a rapid response. Modern fire fighting systems are often integrated with building management systems, enabling real-time monitoring and more effective coordination during an emergency.

3. Standpipe and Hose Systems

Standpipe and hose systems provide firefighters with a reliable water source at various points throughout a high-rise building. These systems consist of a network of pipes that run vertically through the building, with hose connections on each floor. Standpipes are categorized into three classes:

- Class I: Intended for use by fire departments and trained personnel, featuring 2.5-inch hose connections.

- Class II: Designed for building occupants, with 1.5-inch hose connections and pre-connected hoses.

- Class III: Combines features of Class I and II, offering both 1.5-inch and 2.5-inch hose connections.

In a fire emergency, firefighters can connect hoses to the standpipe system, ensuring a steady supply of water for fire suppression. These systems are especially vital in high-rise buildings where accessing upper floors with external hoses is impractical.

4. Fire Pumps

Fire pumps play a crucial role in ensuring adequate water pressure for sprinkler and standpipe systems, particularly in tall buildings. High-rise structures often require water to be pumped to significant heights, necessitating a boost in pressure. Fire pumps are connected to the building's water supply and activate automatically when the sprinkler or standpipe system experiences a drop in pressure.

There are different types of fire pumps, including electric motor-driven, diesel engine-driven, and steam turbine-driven pumps. Each type has its advantages and is selected based on the building's specific needs and local regulations. Regular testing and maintenance of fire pumps are essential to ensure their reliability during an emergency.

5. Smoke Control Systems

In high-rise buildings, smoke control is as critical as fire suppression. Smoke inhalation is the leading cause of death in fire-related incidents, making effective smoke management systems imperative. These systems are designed to limit the spread of smoke, maintain a tenable environment for evacuation, and facilitate firefighting operations.

Smoke control systems can include smoke exhaust fans, pressurization of stairwells, and smoke barriers. Stairwell pressurization involves increasing the air pressure in stairwells to prevent smoke from entering, ensuring a safe escape route for occupants. Smoke exhaust systems remove smoke from specific areas, helping to maintain visibility and reduce the risk of smoke inhalation.

6. Emergency and Exit Lighting

In the event of a fire, power outages are common, making emergency and exit lighting essential for safe evacuation. These systems provide illumination along escape routes, helping occupants find their way to safety. Exit signs and emergency lights are usually powered by backup batteries or generators, ensuring they remain operational during an emergency.

Proper placement and maintenance of emergency and exit lighting are crucial. Regular inspections and testing ensure that these systems function correctly when needed most.

7. Fireproofing and Compartmentalization

Fireproofing and compartmentalization are passive fire protection measures designed to limit the spread of fire and maintain the structural integrity of the building. Fireproofing involves applying fire-resistant materials to structural elements such as steel beams and columns, protecting them from high temperatures that can cause collapse.

Compartmentalization involves dividing the building into smaller sections using fire-resistant walls and doors. This approach slows the spread of fire and smoke, providing occupants with more time to evacuate and reducing overall damage. Fire doors, fire dampers, and fire-rated walls are critical components of compartmentalization strategies.

8. Evacuation Plans and Drills

While sophisticated fire fighting systems are vital, the human element cannot be overlooked. Well-prepared evacuation plans and regular fire drills ensure that occupants know how to respond during a fire emergency. Evacuation plans should include clear instructions, designated escape routes, and assembly points. Regular drills help identify potential issues and ensure everyone is familiar with the procedures.

In Conclusion

The safety of occupants and the protection of property in commercial high-rise buildings depend on a comprehensive fire fighting strategy. Automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm and detection systems, standpipe and hose systems, fire pumps, smoke control systems, emergency lighting, fireproofing, and well-rehearsed evacuation plans collectively form a robust defense against the devastating effects of fire. By integrating these elements, building owners and managers can create a safer environment, mitigating the risks associated with high-rise fires.

I would love to see the next Smash Bros. game (or any other fighting game, really) to have a rival system. Don't get me wrong, I love Ultimate's more personalized Classic Mode routes, but after playing Smash Remix, I want another gauntlet where the opponents are picked at random except for one of the last rounds where the opponent changes depending on the player's character. You pick Mario, either Bowser or Luigi await towards the end. Pick Ganondorf (a character who is infamously known for getting into the series through crunch development) and the rivals are villains like King K. Rool or a newcomer like Raven Beak (later additions with more deliberate designs). Picking Andy would have Marth, Robin, or Byleth at the end because both Advance Wars and Fire Emblem are turn-based strategies.

Come to think of it, the only platform fighter that I know with a rival system would be Shovel Knight showdown. Anyone know any others?
