So the GIW is the Ghost Investigation Ward and not the Ghost Extermination Ward, yes? Hear me out, hm? 

See, it’s really hard to study ecto-entities when they’re going all over in and out of the world. Really hard! And of course they aren’t like, sentient, studies for years before the boom in this one town showed this! But, the overgrown not-birds (they’re still debating that) are really hard to watch doing their natural thing when they naturally mimic people around them! 

So! They got this idea, right? Their operatives can capture some! They’ve even made enclosures based off of what they currently know! It’s like containing crows, down to the mimicry & puzzle solving just er, with opposable thumbs and intangibility. 

And they don’t succeed first tries of course (Wow were said operatives frustrated and maybe cursing a bit that might be a bit violently) but then they get some assistance from the Fentons! Trying to hit an ecto-entities’ wings in a way to not permanently injure them is hard, but the new net canons that a ghost can’t pass through? Perfect! 

They have so many specimens now! They even released a few that were very much uncontainable- they rely on technology a bit and that entity kept unlocking all the doors. So catch and release with that one it is!  

They even managed to catch the white-haired ghost! In double! Which might not seem that important, but! As they realize during intake & initial examination (wow are they bitey) the two appear to be young! Something their ectobiologists only theorized about but oh are they excited! (Now if only the two would stop trying to escape their enclosure that’d be swell! Look, toys! Foo- oh dear God that baby ecto-entity is melting- Oh few, okay note taken to raise ambient ecto levels in that room dear god that was horrifying and stressful. … Maybe get some feelers out for feeding unstable energy entities…)

She was decidedly uncomfortable with the switchblade. Although she very much liked the idea of it—Blue Sargent, desperado; Blue Sargent, superhero; Blue Sargent, badass—she suspected that the only thing she would cut the first time she opened it was herself.

this is not even a silly lil au and more just a silly lil scenario but like. gffa weatherman au where, to ingratiate themselves with the public and demystify themselves, the Jedi have a whole holonet channel people on Coruscant can tune in to watch, featuring segments like “Fishing with Master Fisto” and “Meditations with Master Yoda” and “Baking with Master Windu”.

And obi-wan is roped into doing the weather segment which is all well and good (it doesn’t take that long, he just has to point things out on a big map of coruscant, make some flirty asides to the holo camera, wear pristine robes, and then he can go back to being a proper Jedi doing proper Jedi stuff)

Only Anakin Skywalker has the grudge the size of Tatooine against the Jedi Order and Obi-Wan Kenobi specifically after he was rejected from their ranks at 9 years old—and Obi-Wan Kenobi called him a pathetic life form! To his face! sure that was 15 years ago now but still!

And it just so happens that Anakin Skywalker stuck around Coruscant and worked his way up the ranks of the planet’s engineering branch over the last 15 years, and by the time obi-wan is assigned Coruscanti weatherman, anakin has enough sway to literally control the weather cycles on coruscant…..and make it so that whatever obi-wan predicts is wrong. Rain on sunny days, cold weather in the middle of the summer….obi-wan is at the end of his rope and also very intrigued by whatever engineer is holding the entire planet of coruscant as hostages to enact his petty vengeance

Hey y'all! The AC in my house is like half-broken and I have all the heat tolerance of a particularly sad penguin*, so I could use some advice. I am from a desert area, so I know the stay hydrated, electrolytes, loose clothes type advice, but do you have any advice for handling the heat in humid areas specifically? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for sun hats? Specific sun hats you recommend are what I'm looking for, but if you don't have a specific one an idea of what criteria I should look for would be very helpful too *I say this jokingly, idk how much heat tolerance penguins actually have. I have POTS, salt wasting syndrome, and some unknown autoimmune issue that probably involves my endocrine system? Docs are still working on it but the sum total is I cannot exist in hot temperatures

>> Pokemon Personality Quiz

Well, this was off to a good start. Roman looked at his result proudly, finding it very accurate for a man like himself. Nothing suited him better than a Dragon, being a natural leader with strong ambitions to take over Gotham and claim the city as his own. Damn right he had high standards and he wasn't afraid to show it!

"Agreeableness is very low? Fuck you, I'm perfectly agreeable when it suits me!" The rudeness of this quiz.

It was only getting after his result that the grumbling stopped, Roman completely in shock at what he'd gotten. He'd expected dragons; fierce, proud, powerful beasts that matched the vigor and menace he exuded and what he'd gotten was far from what he'd expected.

"And just what the fuck is that? A Goodra? Are you fucking kidding me!?!? That ain't no fucking dragon, that's something out of My Little P.ony or some kid's shit! Don't get mad if it slimes up my good suit? You better believe I'm gonna get PISSED at this gooey-eyed piece of shit touching me! Sure, don't give me the badass with blades in his face or the giant Blue Crocosaurus. Even the frozen turkey would be better than fucking Goodra." Roman seethed. This shit was exactly the reason why he didn't like Pokeymans or whatever the hell the stupid series was called.

Can mosquitoes like. die already. It's November. It is actually getting cold, not as cold as it used to, but cold. Just fucking die.

Doing dumb shit that won't get me anywhere but you never know.

Gonna ask if I can get a reasonable accommodation for a window a/c unit because they turn the air conditioning off in the building when it still gets to 80° daily.

I can't handle temps this high with my pots. It's making me miserable and triggering my tachycardia when it shouldn't be

I won't get it because the landlord sucks ass but man fuck it can't hurt to try

You absolutely cannot cry around Shoto Todoroki because he treats it the same as if you caught a cold and doesn’t leave you alone nor get over it for 4 (four) whole business days

i feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that in a lot of places, bicycling just. cannot be done for half the year, & that's why public transport being good is important. i cannot bike in 5 feet of snow & ice or in 40c heat. i can't even walk in that, unless i have the energy to snowshoe or a bucket of ice water to chug.

"but I can do it!" good for you. unfortunately i live in Berk (snowing for 9 months of the year & hailing the other 3) & cannot unless i want to die. also disabled people exist. & children. & people who live in a place where everything is no closer than 30 minutes away, & 30 minutes in -30c can kill you if you can't afford a good pair of boots & a good coat. i may have bike paths but the river floods past them every year. what do i do then? bike on the highway?? just let me take the train
