"simple: you don't. in fact, i'm saving you the trouble from thinking, so you should be grateful." ー al haitham, probably

"cursed yandere soulmate shit" sounds about right 👍🏻

i. i'm sure dain can cut down zhongli's meteors somehow (like that scene in one piece). right. r-rightー *sounds of meteor falling in the distance*

............ with the amount of copium in this post, we can sedate a human being for 1 whole month straight methinks.

comrade, yoou right, it's a whole manhwa by itself. he knows i'm a fan of reincarnation!au and is utilizing it to his benefits. what a smartass. i bet in that alternate universe when he's actually sane (well, as sane as he could be) he goes out to study runes and somehow finds a way to discover the yandere world with deshret/malikata reincarnation and teyvatpro shenanigans, and things just spiral down from there. remember kids, when you study ancient runes, you gotta be prepared to witness some mindfuckery!

OOC: damn it al haitham how am I supposed to emotionally recover from the fact you fricking bamboozled me into matching you up with Mei THREE TIMES IN A R O W????

This is some cursed yandere!soulmate sht. I thought I at least escaped 70% of my yandere acc's traces. How do I even explain this to Mister Zhongli? I'm not making a good case here since I'm 1) Khaenri'ahn and 2) have a history of being an internet gremlin.

HELP. I DON'T WANT A METEOR TO FALL DOWN—

Let's just. Let's just pretend the past never happened omg wow you got al haitham!!! He's so nice!!! He's not protective enough to install strange applications in your devices!!! He's also not the type who would plan ahead to make sure his soulmate will end up with him!!! (Copium)

At this point, Mei and Al Haitham has a fanfic worthy relationship. Him being King Deshret and her being Nabu Malikata in the past, then in the next modern reincarnation he's her deranged boss— and in an alternate universe he's (hopefully) a sane individual who drags her out just to study runes. It sounds like some bizarra manhwa 😔😔😔😔

DxP REWRITE - Coal Badge

(Please see special note below!)

Part 1 of the Gym Montage, starting off with Oreburgh City & those first few steps through Sinnoh! Emmet tested Ansy a lot during the first few badges, much like Barry does in BDSP & in DPPt, but with Double Battles, & something better than a slow-evolving Starly lol. Oreburgh is where he gets his fossil Pokémon: Ballast, the now Shieldon!

Meanwhile, Team Galactic being more of a classic, Pokemon theft team, quickly learns that Ansy still nurses a special grudge towards their type lol. (It was super effective!)

⭐️ In case you missed our special weather report last night, I’m gonna be collabing with a friend from Instagram, Professor Case, in efforts to raise relief funds for Hurricane Helene & Milton. We’re thinking of setting up a donation & making little Pokémon thank you doodles in return. Luckily, I have a cushion of completed comics ready to go, so when we got this all set up, I’ll be ready! ✍🏻

If you’re in Milton’s path today, PLEASE stay safe! Whether it’s batten down the hatches or evacuation, do so as safely as you can. In the meantime, follow NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) for the most accurate forecast! Lots of love from your more northern neighbor 🩵

You people., the ideas you have are gold

Because of you people (Especially @hobiebrownismygod your ideas are GOLD I hope this is okay) I NEED

DiscoPunk for Rolling Stones Magazine

If you don't know, Hobie and my Spidersona Diane are in a musical duo called DiscoPunk

They have an album you can listen to here, called BackAlleyJazzLettuce and they've been on tour in Camden before (tour poster here)

Do you knows how tempted I am to draw a full Rolling Stones Magazine cover of Hobie and Diane

DiscoPunk with huge headlines of them being a genre-defying musical powerhouse

and then writing a full length article from the perspective of as fake reporter interviewing them for their new EP, their second release that's freshly certified platinum (not that they care they're so cool right)

The interviewer asking them questions and they reply as if they were the ones who wrote and performs the songs on the accompanying Spotify playlist I make of songs I pretend they produced

Like the song BRAT by Chrissy Chlapecka is track 4 and the interviewer is like 'that songs a lot more experimental than the others on the EP - what's the story behind that song?'

And Hobies like 'Oh that's a song we wrote together when a guy was bothering Diane at the club so we wrote a song about how he's a dickhead.'

And Dianes like 'i like that one cause there hook is a chop and remixed melody that Hobie was strumming one night. Metro[Spider] Boomin helped produce that one'

And the interviewer describes how they perform and what they're wearing and their demeanor. They talk about their short UK tour and their fans it's Diane and Hobie being adorable rising-rock-stars and undefined lovebirds

Mind you THIS IS STILL IN THE 70S SO IT'S EXTRA COOL

The interviewer is like 'There's been rumors about DiscoPunk being the UK's Eurovision stars - any truth to that'

(could you believe they had Eurovision then I had to google it and they DID wtf)

and Hobie is like 'only if they let me sing a song about burning down Buckingham Palace'

Diane likes 'what's Buckingham Palace'

He's like 'Lizzy's spot.'

And she's like 'oh that ugly ass castle we be driving by in the black cabs? Yeah bomb it it's ugly 😭😭 start over. the castles in France are better.'

Acting like they're a real duo on a real tour dropping a real album

Nothing to do with Spiderman just Diane and Hobie being rockstars

Posing on the cover of Rolling Stone in shirts with obscenities or in matching skirts

(there's also features by Ansi esp Willow's Wait a Minute, and, MetroSpider, and Miguel's wife Moche)

DO YOU SEE IT DO YOU SEE THE VISION

I wanna do this so bad but that's so much work but I WANNA wouldn't it be so rad!!!!!!! I WANNA DO THE WHOLE THING I COULD I HAVE THE PHOTOSHOP IN FRONT OF ME

I'm like 20 seconds away from just designing my own DiscoPunk tour shirt and printing it for myself I should do that I should become God and make them real

The Beginning

–A Star Is Born

A/N: Grammar is for chumps.

Summary: These two songs represent Ansi's beginnings as a child star.

My Reasonings: I chose a popular song by Shirley Temple to mark the rise of Ansi's child stardom.

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes is the first song that Cinderella sings in her movie. The main theme of the song is that despite the pain you're currently facing you can't give up the hope that things will change for the better. At this point of Ansi's life she feels the same as Cinderella because she believes this change in her life is only temporary. This song also illustrates Ansi's childhood naivety. She thinks that it won't be long before her life goes back to normal despite the obvious signs that it won't.

Lore: Ansi had always been a tech genius. By the time she learned how to count she was already typing out zeros and ones. Her programming abilities only improved as her father taught her more advanced skills. By the time she turned ten she was more versed in computer code than some senior programmers at Alchemax.

She was so good that her father started bringing her to his job at the Midwestern Alchemax branch. (That and the fact that she was driving her mother, who was attempting to homeschool her, insane.)

Nobody actually believed in her abilities. They thought that she was just a privileged brat that they were being forced to babysit. There were some who had more aggressive opinions that they didn't even try to hide. Ansi had become very familiar with the hushed whispers and dirty looks whenever she entered a room. (She also had to deal with racial prejudice since she was one of the few black people on site.) 

Most of the time they just ignored her. The few who pitied her gave her small and meaningless tasks (which only took her a couple of seconds to complete). She never complained to her father about it being surrounded by tech was enough for her. 

However, things changed the day a computer worm infected Alchemax's server. It started off slow. Desktops were running slower than usual. But many assumed it was due the precarious nature of the weather in the Midwest. It was impossible for their systems to be breached (Despite Ansi's constant warnings about the major weaknesses in their system). But it wasn't long before the slowness of the desktops went from a minor inconvenience to completely unusable. Panic began to spread across the facility. No one knew the cause of the worm or how it spread. The only thing they could do was stop it before it got to the super computer. Fortunately, Ansi's laptop was the only one unaffected since no one ever connected it to the mainframe. They all watched in awe as she effortlessly took down a computer worm that took the entire programming staff days to just slow it down. If Ansi didn't interfere they would've lost billions of dollars worth of tech. And yet in just a couple of hours Ansi was not only able to get rid of it but completely reverse the state of the infected computers. 

(It's quite easy to take down a worm that you created yourself.)

After such a miraculous feat people had to acknowledge her abilities. Soon she was put on bigger projects and given more difficult tasks. She was well known throughout the facility as their very own Coding Princess.

She was almost always at Alchemax. Even when her mother gave up and put her in public school she still went after classes. However, there was always one day in the year where her father refused to let her go with him to work. She knew why. It was the day of the annual progress report. 

The one day in the year where the head of Alchemax came to check out their tiny facilities. 

The one day in the year where her grandfather visited the area. 

(Somehow he always found time for work but could never find time to say hello to his own family.)

She didn't know why her father was so against her grandfather learning about her abilities, but she never pressed him about it. Sometimes she wonders what he would've said if she had asked. At the very least she would've been prepared for what was to come.

No one had expected the director's surprise visit. 

Somehow he'd gotten wind of the virus outbreak that had almost compromised the entire database and he was absolutely livid. 

Ansi knew of her grandfather's temper but she had never seen the man so red in the face. It wasn't long before he went from fuming to actively hostile, Ansi felt bad for the innocent workers who were standing near him. 

After leaving them bruised and bloodied he finally calmed down and said that everyone who worked that day would be fired unless Ansi went back to Seattle with him.

Ansi didn't care too much about the people working there but she still agreed. (It's one of the tech capitals of the US. Of course she was gonna say yes.)

Her mother was overjoyed to finally get recognition from her father while her father was absolutely terrified. He knew what the director was capable of but he was powerless. Assistant director was just an empty title given to him because he was the son-in-law of the director.

So begins Ansi's hellish life as the super genius child star, Niya.

The AquaBliss shower filter certainly sounds impressive with its 12-stage filtration process, and we were keen to see how it performed with our own hands-on testing. This review was formed as a discussion of all our testing data, including the objective figures we obtained from testing for contaminants removed, flow rate, and ongoing cost, as well as our subjective notes on the filter’s design, ease of setup and maintenance, and overall value for money. Overall Score: 8.25 7.71 Contaminant Reduction 7.20 Design 9.50 Maintenance 10.00 Filtration Rate 9.00 Setup 8.65 Company What We Like Affordable upfront & ongoing cost Good flow rate Easy to install & maintain Decent 1-year warranty & 30-day guarantee What We Don’t Like The only shower filter we tested that didn’t eliminate chlorine Uses misleading certification language Poor DBP reduction Price$35.99Contaminants Reduced2+Certifications- Not CertifiedProcessActivated Carbon + Calcium Sulfite + KDFFilter Capacity10,000 gallonsAnnual Cost~$71.98 - $107.97Warranty12 Months 📊 Scoring Data The AquaBliss SF100 Shower Filter is one of the most affordable shower filters we tested, costing just over $35. But affordability isn’t necessarily an advantage if the value for money isn’t there, and that’s what we were aiming to deduce from our testing. We analyzed the system across our 6 key scoring categories, then combined and averaged the scores into an overall performance score. The table below breaks down our testing data. CriteriaResultsOverall Score8.25Health Related Contaminants7.80Aesthetic Related Contaminants9.90Performance CertificationNot Certified Filtration Rate2.50 GPMComponent QualityFairComponent CertificationNot Certified SetupExcellentServicing RequirementsExcellentCosts$0.002/gallonWarranty Length12 MonthsShippingFree on orders over $20Returns30 days 🚰 Contaminant Reduction Score: 7.71 Our scoring system is the most heavily weighted by a filter’s performance in the “contaminant reduction” testing category. We test our own water before and after filtration to see how a filter’s performance compares to data shared by the manufacturer.  A subsection of this category looks at whether or not a filter has been certified by an official testing organization, such as the NSF/ANSI, IAPMO, or the WQA.  Our Performance Testing Score: 7.91 We tested our water filtered by the AquaBliss SF100 using a service called SimpleLab Tap Score. We received a kit for taking our samples (one before filtration and one directly from the filtered showerhead), and SimpleLab delivered our results in a comprehensive, interactive test report.  Our kit also came with a chlorine test strip (chlorine detection is best done as soon as possible because the chemical dissipates quickly once it comes into contact with air). Additionally, we conducted a titration test separately to get a more accurate, real-time understanding of the hardness of our unfiltered and filtered water.  Before we share our results, it’s helpful for you to understand more about our testing conditions:  - First, we decided to test the AquaBliss SF100 with cold water. While this isn’t a realistic representation of how most of us shower, it was really important that we could get an accurate measurement of the disinfection byproducts in our shower water, since these have known health effects when inhaled in water vapor. DBPs are highly volatile and dissipate quickly from hot water, hence why we tested with cold water to obtain the most accurate data possible.  - Second, while our water contained more than 10 contaminants with known health effects, we only focused on those that can be harmful to health in shower water, either due to inhalation or dermal exposure (rather than ingestion). These contaminants were chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and water hardness.  Note: Tap Score allows you to measure your results against different health standards, including the EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Tap Score’s own Health Guideline Levels (HGLs). We decided to compare our results to the Tap Score HGLs, since these are stricter than the EPA’s MCLs and prioritize human health. Health-Related Contaminants Score: 7.70 When it came to reducing health-related contaminants in our water, the AquaBliss Shower Filter was a bit of a letdown. Before we assess our results, let’s discuss what we were dealing with in our unfiltered water.  Our Tap Score test detected four disinfection byproducts in the trihalomethanes (THMs) category in our water sample:  - 5.47 PPB of chloroform - 2.62 PPB of bromodichloromethane - 0.74 PPB of dibromochloromethane - 0.25 PPB of bromochloromethane The first three were present in concentrations exceeding the lab’s HGL, meaning they all posed a potential health risk. Bromochloromethane was detected in concentrations below the Reporting Limit, so its safety in our water couldn’t be evaluated.  Good to know: A 2020 study has been conducted into the possible health effects of DBPs, specifically THMs, in shower water. Scientists deduced that THMs exposure in shower vapor could increase the potential for “cancer and non-cancer risks” when inhaled.  AquaBliss claims to  “effectively reduce dirt, chlorine, trihalomethanes (THMs), and more”—but how did it perform in our testing? Well, unfortunately, the SF100 ended up being the only shower filter we tested that didn’t even reduce 100% of chlorine (it only reduced it by 75%, and 0.5 PPM remained in our filtered water).  This was confusing to us given that the filter reportedly contains a blend of three types of media that are all generally very effective at removing chlorine: calcium sulfite, redox media, and activated carbon. Interestingly, Aquabliss sells two similar shower filter models that are reportedly more effective at removing chlorine. We’re considering testing one of these to see if it’s capable of reducing 100% chlorine, as we’d expect.  The filter also didn’t reduce THMs, despite AquaBliss’ claims. We only saw an incidental reduction of just under 6%, from 8.83 PPM to 8.31 PPM. Despite its extensive filtration media, we think the filter’s lack of a solid carbon block filter is the main reason why it can’t effectively reduce disinfection byproducts.  Water Hardness To measure the differences in our water hardness pre- and post-filtration, we used data from our Tap Score lab test and our more precise on-site titration test. Here’s how the results compared:  - In our Tap Score test report, our unfiltered water had a total hardness reading of 128.19 PPM, or 7.49 GPG, putting it in the “hard” category. - Our on-site titration test detected a water hardness of 8 GPG.  Note: while hard water isn’t dangerous to health in the same way as disinfection byproducts, it can still have mild-to-moderate skin and hair effects, especially for people with existing skin conditions like eczema.  What were we expecting from AquaBliss? The manufacturer claims the filter “Reduces Contaminants to Make Water Feel Softer”, and “helps control scale”, so we were anticipating at least a slight reduction in the calcium and magnesium minerals in our water.  So our results were a little disappointing: - In our Tap Score test, the total hardness of our water had dropped by less than 1%. - Hardness remained the same, at 8 GPG, in our on-site titration test. This wasn’t altogether surprising given that AquaBliss doesn’t mention the addition of an ion exchange media, which is needed to remove hardness minerals, in its filter.  Minerals & pH Balance While the possible increase in healthy minerals and alterations to our water’s pH balance didn’t affect our testing score, we still want to discuss them here since AquaBliss claims that the SF100 has these abilities.  Specifically, the company says the filter “Infuses High-Quality Minerals — Get Gorgeous Skin, Hair, and Nails”, and “Improves PH Balance — Soothe Dry Itchy Skin and Reduce Dandruff and Eczema”.  In terms of pH, our post-filtration results showed that this was reduced by around 7%, from 8.39 to 7.80. So no substantial changes—but perhaps this was because the pH of our unfiltered water was only slightly alkaline anyway, and our results would have been more apparent if it was significantly higher or lower.  Alternatively, it’s possible that the filter can’t actually change pH, which seems more likely given that it didn’t affect the mineral concentrations that contribute to pH. We wouldn’t know without conducting another more specific test.  As for mineral infusion, AquaBliss doesn’t explicitly state exactly which minerals the filter adds to water. We only know that it contains “mineralized beads” that “release beneficial minerals”, as well as vitamin C. Our own testing was possibly limited (depending on the minerals the filter is intended to remove) as it only detected calcium and magnesium minerals, which didn’t increase. Unexpected Outcomes We noticed a couple of unexpected outcomes in our test results that we want to mention here.  As we mentioned, we focused only on the contaminants that could have health effects in shower water. However, we think it’s still worth mentioning increases in contaminants that aren’t known to be harmful in shower water, since they can possibly be related to the filter design itself.  First, a number of metals, including lithium, arsenic, vanadium, and molybdenum, actually increased post-filtration. We think this is likely incidental, caused by fluctuations of these metals in our water supply between our initial test and our filtered water test.  We also saw a substantial 3227.75% increase in zinc, from 0.00919 PPM to 0.30582 PPM. We think this is likely coming from the KDF media, which is typically made from a copper-zinc alloy.  We’d need to retest our water to confirm these hypotheses.  Performance Certifications Score: 6.00 Shower filter manufacturers can obtain an NSF 177 performance certification, which involves getting their filters professionally tested and deemed capable of meeting NSF requirements for chlorine reduction. Manufacturers don’t need to be certified in order to make contaminant reduction claims, but a lot of people (including us) find it reassuring to know that a filter has official, unbiased independent performance testing.  The AquaBliss Shower Filter isn’t performance certified, so it received the lowest score in this testing sub-category. This is despite misleading claims from AquaBliss that the filter is “certified” on the product page. 🚦Filtration Rate Score: 10.00 We measured the SF100 filter’s flow rate by timing how long it took to filter 2 cups of water. We repeated the test three times in total and recorded the average time from all three.  It actually had one of the slowest flow rates of all the shower filters we tested, coming in at 1.50 gallons per minute (the other filters had flow rates ranging from 1.43 to 2.33 GPM).  That said, this is still a good flow rate for a shower filter and we didn’t notice a reduction in our water pressure after installing it.   Information about the filter’s maximum flow rate isn’t available online. When we emailed customer service, a rep told us that the filter’s maximum flow rate was 2.50 GPM. 📐 Design Score: 7.20 The SF100 is one of AquaBliss’ four shower filter offerings. Its defining feature, which isn’t available in any of AquaBliss’ other models, is its vitamin- and mineral-infusion media.  It’s an inline filter that’s designed to be installed with an existing shower head, and is compatible with all kinds of showers, including fixed, rain, and handheld showers.  The filter sits inside a cylindrical unit that attaches to your shower arm. You can buy the unit in five finishes:  - Chrome - Brushed nickel - Oil-rubbed bronze - Matte black - Matte gold In terms of appearance, it’s one of the less attractive shower filters currently available, prioritizing functionality and practicality over style.  Component Quality Score: 8.00 The SF100 didn’t particularly impress us with its component quality, and we noted that, in terms of its build and feel, its design was flimsier compared to most of the other shower filters we tested. This makes us uncertain about its long-term durability.  We were concerned that there was a design issue when we installed the filter because it leaked initially. But we realized this was actually caused by our own error: the housing wasn’t completely tight, and the leaking stopped once we had tightened it. Filter Materials The AquaBliss filter uses a blend of 12 filtration media: - Ultra-fine stainless steel mesh  - Micro-porous PP cotton - Calcium sulfite  - Redox media (KDF) - Activated carbon  - Mineralized beads  - Zeolite ceramic beads - Ceramic Vitamin C - Tourmaline  - Magnetic energy  - Micro-porous PP cotton  - Ultra-fine stainless steel mesh  We’ve seen a few manufacturers employ the “abundance” technique, aiming to entice customers by demonstrating that their filters contain more media (and build up their lists with vague features like “magnetic energy”) and are therefore more capable than competing systems.  Unfortunately, as we’ve already discussed, our test results didn’t demonstrate that the filter had any additional abilities to remove contaminants or enhance our filtered water with vitamins or minerals, despite AquaBliss’ claims.  Materials Safety Certification Score: 6.00 AquaBliss hasn’t obtained a materials safety certification, so we assigned it the lowest score of 6.00 in this category. Again, these certifications aren’t a legal requirement, but they help to reassure us that a filter’s materials and components have been tested and deemed to be compliant with NSF standards for materials safety.  ⚙️ Setup Score: 9.00 Ease of setup is something that AquaBliss gets right, and the process was as simple as screwing the filter onto our shower arm and attaching our existing shower head.  You don’t need tools or materials for setup (aside from plumber’s tape), and there’s no time-consuming filter priming process. We just had to rinse the filter under warm running water for 60 seconds, to remove any loose carbon dust, before installing it. 🔧 Maintenance Score: 9.50 AquaBliss also impressed us in the maintenance category, with easy, low-cost filter change requirements, awarding it a high score in this category. Servicing Requirements 9.00 The filter in the SF100 lasts up to 4-6 months, depending on your water quality and your shower times, so maintenance is a pretty infrequent requirement.  We found it easy to replace the filters by simply unscrewing the casing, sliding out the existing shower filter cartridge, and slotting the new one in its place. Simple maintenance is our expectation for shower filters, so we were pleased that AquaBliss didn’t let us down in this category. Costs Score: 10.00 As for maintenance costs, the AquaBliss Shower Filter is one of the most affordable of all the shower filters we tested.  It has an ongoing cost of just 0.002/ gallon, based on AquaBliss’ filter lifespan claims and the price of replacement filters on the manufacturer’s website. 🏢 Company Score: 8.65 AquaBliss is one of the more established shower filter companies, so we expected it to offer a decent warranty, as well as good returns and shipping policies. Here, we evaluated the company behind the product.  Warranty Score: 8.50 AquaBliss offers a 12-month warranty, which is one of the longest we’ve seen for a shower filter.  The warranty guarantees that the SF100 is “free from defects in material and workmanship”, for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.  To be eligible for a refund or replacement under the warranty, you need to send back the defective part(s) along with your proof of purchase.  Learn more about AquaBliss’ warranty here.  Shipping  Score: 9.50 You’ll receive free shipping when you spend more than $20 on orders on the AquaBliss website. That means you won’t have to pay for shipping on your initial purchase, but you will if you choose to buy replacement filters (which cost less than $20 each) individually. Returns Score: 8.00 AquaBliss’ 30-day returns policy is pretty good, especially given its affordable upfront cost, allowing you to try the filter and see if it works for you within the first 30 days after your purchase. If you don’t like it for whatever reason, you can return it for a refund or replacement. You’ll need to contact AquaBliss with your proof of purchase and the reason for your return.  There’s some fine print to be aware of, including that the filter needs to be undamaged and in its original condition for you to be eligible for a full refund.  View AquaBliss’ refund and returns policy here. 💰 Value For Money Now we’ve shared all our testing data, do we think the AquaBliss SF100 is worth the money? The short answer is no. While the filter might be one of the most affordable of the bunch we tested, the fact that it didn’t even remove 100% chlorine in our testing made it a big letdown. We also don’t like the fact that AquaBliss is deceiving customers by making inaccurate claims about its ability to address water hardness issues.  Given that the filter comprises so many filtration media, we expected more. At the very least, we expected complete chlorine removal, but we didn’t even get that. And the fact that the filter doesn’t even slightly reduce DPBs, which are commonly found in chlorinated water supplies, means it’s failing to perform an important duty.   Are there any exceptions here? Perhaps the filter could be an option if you know for certain that your water contains little-to-no DPBs but you still want an affordable solution for reducing (albeit not necessarily removing) chlorine. But in our opinion, it’s better to spend twice as much on the Weddell Duo, which is the only shower filter we tested to actually address DBPs effectively. Read the full article
