romance me with mosquito facts

mosquitoes, when in a condensed enough space, sound like gentle rain.

i work with a specific mosquito species, called the aedes agypti, which carries diseases like dengue virus, west niles virus, and yellow fever. the males are generally smaller than the females, though emerge into adults sooner. you can tell the difference between males and females by the fluffy antennas of the males.

gay mosquitoes everywhere.

mosquitoes tend to be social, if stupid creatures. if you stick two mosquitoes alone in a cage, they probably wont chill (and wont mate). it's just not their style. this is especially frustrating when trying to set up specific genetic crosses.

although i never met them, there used to be a researcher at the lab who did the most batshit stuff. we keep our mosquitoes in mesh cages, so they can't escape but they can feed through the mesh (so we don't have to reach in and out of the cages and potentially let some loose). this old researcher used to grab the morning newspaper, roll up his pants, collapse in a chair and settle his calves over the mesh cages for literal thousands of mosquitoes to feed from him. for hours. i want to meet this man so bad.

mosquitoes are stupid and annoying and prone to killing themselves akin to a goldfish constantly getting stuck in a filter. but strangely enough, you grow to love them. they are simultaneously fragile and durable, easily discernible and difficult to hunt. you can tear their hind legs off and put them through shock a few times and they'll be fine, but a single finger will smush them (quite inconveniently, when you know that bitch could've moved!).

directly after bloodfeeding a female mosquito, if you kill her—often by clapping her directly between your hands (female mosquitoes are the only ones to bloodfeed)—the blood will still be warm.

although i dont screen larvae for traits as often as I used to (I tend to do more database/mosquito caretaking work now), certain gene-linked traits can be found physically in the larvae and pupae stages—sometimes they glow bright blue/green under fluorescent lighting, for example.

like I said though, i mostly work with caretaking. i do the bloodfeeding, i replace their food and water, and i make sure they're in good health and can lay eggs on a proper surface. the mosquitoes under my care live for about a month and a half, though if they're still alive by the time we need to hatch the next generation, we simply fridge them and kill them off. put mosquitoes in the fridge for a few minutes and they'll go to sleep. put them in for a few hours, and they'll usually die— we keep them in for 24 hours to make sure, though.

mosquitoes are difficult to contain. compared to other biochemistry departments, you have tiny creatures that are mobile and can fly, and can't always be seen by the average person unless they're specifically looking for it. I've worked in microbiology labs before, but if there was contamination, it was solely on the researcher. contamination from a loose mosquito is hard to track. this is all to say that I work in a bunker—double doors, minimal vents, no windows.

mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world. mosquitoes kill over a million people a year (hence my research). i sit in the back of the bunker sometimes, in the side warm room where we keep our cages of mosquitoes, hundreds of different genetically modified lines in progress at a time, and I have blood on my palms— blood that I fed to my subjects before I squashed them because they escaped from their cages, and I think about the fact that for over 200 lines of this species, I grow them from eggs to adults to death and hatch their offspring again and again and again. i think of lovecraftian horror and I hear gentle rain and remember images of war that keep me up late at night, and I wonder what's the point, for a few numbers in my bank account, and then another mosquito has gotten loose and lands on my arm and doesn't bite me, because it's already full; because i already fed it; because it's just looking for a small, dark place to rest in the folds of my jacket.

mosquitoes love to hide on black surfaces.

Liminal Amity Park

Danny is being crowned Ghost King soon. The entire town, as they are protected members of his Haunt, is invited. Danny has told his parents about him being Phantom, they set up a press conference for Phantom to tell the town they were invited.

This is an Amity that has come to terms with the fact the dead float along the streets. An Amity that realized around the time the town was pulled into another dimension that their lives were never going to be normal again. The Fenton's build a portal large enough for a tractor trailer to drive through in the center of the city that lets out in a newly formed town in what previously was the wasteland in front of Pariah's Keep. It's the new capital of the Ghost Zone and Phantom's Keep.

The newly formed ghost town and Amity essentially evolve together until they're essentially the same town but half of it is in another dimension. The human residents start to notice they're a bit more durable. Their eyes glow and teeth sharpen when angry. The realize they're ecto-contaminated.

So, to keep it from happening elsewhere, the Fenton's put a giant shield that filters out ectoplasm so it doesn't contaminate the air, water or ground outside of the bubble. They have a giant wall built around the city and distribution centers set up just outside of town so shipments can still be received so they don't run out of supplies.

There are shops in the newly dubbed Ghastburg that sell things thought lost to time. Dishes that people have only ever read about are available at little mom and pop shops run by ghosts whose obsession is cooking. Ghosts whose obsessions were collecting rare plants had seeds that they now could grow in Amity because the Ghost Zone didn't have proper sunlight. Fiber arts and blacksmithing techniques that died out now have new people learning them. A ghost with a similar obsession to Skulker but instead basically ran a zoo now has people they can infodump on about the rare or extinct species they have collected throughout the centuries.

Just, humans and ghosts thriving together and building a community and accepting that they are just a bit different and that's okay.

Hyper-Species Database Entry #001 | Gojira Serizawaii (“Godzilla”)

Species: Gojira serizawaii (Godzilla)

Title: The God of Destruction

First Modern Sighting: August 9, 1945

Temporal Range: 245-0 Ma

Height: 125.67 Metres

Weight: 132,053.47 Tonnes

Category: 0

The true apex predator of Earth’s entire global ecosystem, Gojira are a colossal species of highly derived semi-aquatic hyper-faunal synapsids from an era long-forgotten by humanity. Fossil evidence points towards a split from early gorgonopsid species in the Middle Permian of South Africa before reaching its current form in the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic Epoch. Throughout the evolution process of the Godzilla species, its ancestors had somehow acquired G-cells and had subsequently begun to immigrate into radioactive deep-sea trenches. Over time this led to the development of large dorsal plates along the animals' spines. These leaf-like structures serve the function of absorbing sunlight and radiation from the surrounding area and converting it into “G-Radiation”, a specialized form of radiation that the species uses both to fuel itself and to power specialized abilities. The radiation can be carried throughout the body through large vein-like structures beneath the skin. This radiation is primarily stored in numerous small chambers along the back and the tail of the creature. Additionally, the plates form a crystal-like structure on the end of the creature’s tail that seems to also be capable of releasing excess radiation. Water from the gills is also filtered and used to cool the main reaction chamber. This system is referred to as the “nuclear system” and functions similarly to a nuclear reactor, creating energy with no need for food. Though the young need to eat quite often to supplement growth, it is common for the species to eat the remains of adversaries they have killed. In addition to gills, the animals also have lungs making them fully capable of surviving in any of Earth’s various environments. The lungs are connected to an additional sac used to store hydrogen for specialised defensive and offensive capabilities. The species also seems to be able to quickly adapt to new opponents as new structures form and change in short periods when faced with stress. This causes the species to be both highly unpredictable and it is likely why they’ve become so successful. Gojira even seems to be able to adapt to new forms of radiation and even DNA further modifying themselves beyond what any other known species is capable of. But these are not the only unique features of Godzilla’s body. To successfully pump blood throughout their entire body, the species has a total of three hearts, one is located in the chest, waist, and tail. This allows the species to keep a constant steady blood flow, though the veins are insanely durable as it is needed to balance the pressure from three hearts. Gojira also have a second, smaller brain located between their hips. This brain serves the purpose of controlling the movement of the tail and regulating cooling within the body. 

Godzilla are believed to be among the most intelligent of all species on Earth, showing clear signs of both sentience and sapience. The species seems to be fairly expressive with their display of emotions, changes in posture, muscle tone, gait, facial expressions, vocalizations, pupil dilation, and even bioluminescence displays have been observed to occur. Evidence even points towards some level of understanding of other species as well as basic cross-species communication, though the species does seem to be somewhat antisocial and will not interact with others unless there is no other option. Gojira also seems to retain a high intellect with the ability to predict and interpret the actions of others, as well as showing an understanding of cause and effect and a relatively high level of problem-solving skills.

As with most kaiju, the scales of the Godzilla species are impenetrable to conventional weaponry, with typically only other kaiju or specially-made anti-kaiju weaponry able to do any damage to it. They are also resistant to nuclear weapons due to their atomic nature. Weapons made from the metal cadmium have been shown to at least serve as effective deterrents or methods of exhausting the daikaiju, though research is inconclusive as to the extent of this weakness and it varies between members of the species, especially if they had adapted due to a prior experience with the metal. In addition to the extreme defensive capabilities, Gojira also boast an intense regenerative ability, being able to recover from near-fatal wounds in only two months. Godzilla’s species have incredibly powerful legs as well as a long developed tail for locomotion, balance, and combat. The species is shown to be highly capable of travel both on land and in water with a max running speed estimated to be 250 KPH and a max swimming speed of 65 knots per hour. The tail can be used effectively as a whip against opponents and sports a sharp modified dorsal near the end capable of tearing through flesh with ease. The species also has incredibly powerful jaws and arms that allow for easy close combat. In addition to these physical abilities, the species also has a variety of more specialized abilities including the following:

Atomic Breath: G-radiation stored in the body runs through the vein structures into the back of the throat where it combines with hydrogen from a specially developed hydrogen sac above the lungs creating a devastating spiral of burning plasma capable of cutting through entire cities, other daikaiju, and even mountainsides with ease.

Nuclear Pulse: G-radiation is quickly expelled from several openings in the body in a large bubble and explodes, causing anything in the surrounding area to be reduced to mere atoms.

Tail Beam: Similar to the Atomic Breath, radiation is fired into the end of the tail and combines with hydrogen, creating a highly focused beam of destruction.

Fission Punch: G-radiation is sent to the fist during a punch and creates explosions and shockwaves upon impact.

More Age of Monsters is on the way soon, so I hope this repost with an updated format will raise your anticipation for the next entry!

Skykid speculative biology

-Skykids, within the ecosystem, take the role of scavengers. Their primary food is a form of entropy created whenever a candle is lit; essentially, skykids consume the leftover energy. Because they are sacred and spiritual beings, it is considered good practice to place candles outside of your home to feed the skykid population. (Note: Ushering Stargazer's memory indicates that skykids and ancestors did, in fact, exist at the same time. Also, Aviary village contains candles to support this theory. Candle cakes may be shrines of a sort? Wasteland seems to be lacking in candles, while the palace in Crescent Oasis has many. So this is also a classism issue.)

-Skykids are not actually anything like ancestors, but rather a species of bird that happens to be humanoid shaped. They travel in flocks and are excellent mimics; their childlike stature is believed to be a defense mechanism, and they can imitate the cries of many other species. They also have a love of music (source: season of Aurora, season of rhythm, season of duets) and can be seen at concerts. It is said that if the dead are buried with an instrument, the skykids nearby will learn to play from their spirit.

-Due to their odd reproductive cycle, Skykids are lacking in primary sexual characteristics and do not appear to engage in sexual behaviors. (Source: default moth hairstyle is androgynous and game never asks your gender.) Skykids will learn how to style their hair and wear clothing from ancestors, which may often give the impression of gender, but it is important to remember that they might be wearing long hair and a pink flowery cloak simply because they thought it was pretty, not because of any feminine inclinations. The vast majority of skykids seem to be agender, with a small amount displaying gendered preferences. Occasionally, a skykid may be goth. It is uncertain if goth is a gender identity to them.

-Some skykids have been witness engaging in traditionally romantic behaviors, but it is unclear whether they understand romantic attraction or simply see this behavior as an extension of platonic love. It's theorized that they make no distinction between the two, as they will get down on one knee and present their candle to a potential friend.

-Skykids are extremophiles, who are very durable and hard to kill. They love being flung around, shot out of party cannons, and blasted by a boiling hot geyser. It's enrichment for them!

-Darkness plants, as they're commonly known, serve the purpose of absorbing pollution and converting it into a waxy substance that skykids can burn, much like candles. This spreads their seeds and restarts the cycle. Aquatic darkness plants are known as dark marimo, and usually don't clog pipes but rather drift around freely. If you place a small one in a mesh bag, you can use it to absorb the pollution in your water, creating a personal filter.

Tyrian Plants for Breathing Complications

Researched by Pazz, chief of the ALERT Krewe. Research dedicated to his youngest daughter, for whom his research has made life less stressful.

Driftweed

A strange, delicate fruit bearing flower with a large, many-petaled blossom native to the Maguuma Jungle, driftweed is a parasitic plant that grows in the lower canopy, and their heads - almost the size of the fist of a fully grown norn - can be seen from the ground. These blossoms eventually change over the course of a year to a hard, vibrant, toxic berry. During the blooming season, however, the tissue thin petals are commonly gathered by asura (and, later, sylvari) living in the region. Though the fruit that will eventually come from the flowers may be deadly if ingested, the petals are frequently crushed and boiled, treated with special oils to be used as a treatment for various respiratory disorders. The raw flower has a noxious aroma, however, and many believe the oils are used to make it less nauseating when prescribed as a mist inhaler or when filtered into the air of atmospheric breathing rooms used for the treatment of more severe breathing problems. Due to a short blooming cycle and its specific growth region, it is difficult to obtain driftweed outside of Metrica and Caledon. As a result, the plant is not as popular through the rest of Tyria, with other “hedge remedies” more popular in other regions.

Brittleblossom

A newly discovered plant to greater Tyria, the Olmakhan charr have been cultivating this strange plant - native to the Sandswept Isles - for generations, and its been found to have many beneficial medicinal properties. The thick, watermelon-sized ball resembles a tangle of fragile dried vines at first glance, but its name is a misnomer. Brittleblossom is surprisingly durable, but the roots are what can be found to be quite brittle depending on the circumstances. Similar to tumbleweed, a brittleblossom plant will pull itself out by the roots and allow itself to be blown or moved by wildlife to a new location if the soil in a region becomes to dry. Rumored to be nearly immortal if planted and watered regularly, the plant becomes a fiery shade of orange when in a healthy environment. Cultivated when the leaves start going red at the tips, it’s a popular remedy for a number of different illnesses, from nausea to headaches to respiratory distress. Recent experimentation by asuran physicians have found that when boiled similarly to driftweed and incorporated into an aerosol spray, it has a longer and stronger effect than driftweed for respiratory disorders. It’s also become popular for those who are pregnant, as when brewed into a tea, it fends off most symptoms of morning sickness. Chewing the leaves has similar effect, but while it has a surprisingly minty scent, the leaves are very bitter.

Bubble Lily

A large, wide-petaled flower resembling a lilypad that thrives in brackish water, this plant can be found in estuaries and river deltas all along the coast of the Unending Sea. A favorite of herbalists, alchemists, and apothecaries due to its wide growth region and exceptional durability, the plant was named due to the bubble shape of the stamen. This sweet smelling plant has roots that reach down to the sandy soil below, and the roots themselves are popular in teas and ointments. Blended into a gel, the bubble lily roots have a particularly strong scent which - while not unpleasant - is effective at cutting through congestion and easing muscle spasms that result in coughing fits. It’s also a natural stimulant, making it a popular additive for coffee around Tyria. While not as effective as driftweed or brittleblossom for treating respiratory distress, it can be useful as a remedy in emergency situations when treatment made from one of the other plants is not viable. People with chronic respiratory issues will often carry dried roots to chew on in the event of a rapid deterioration in breathing conditions, as it can provide temporary relief until proper treatment can be obtained.

Top Water Filtration Systems for Condos: A Buyer's Guide

Living in a condo can be convenient, yet poses its own set of issues. When it comes to water quality, many condo residents encounter problems such as hard water, a chlorine taste, or other contaminants from old pipes. So, finding an effective yet space-efficient water filtration system will be important for healthful and convenient living. This guide will outline a few of the best water filtration systems for condo living. It will focus on compact, efficient, and easy-to-install options.

1. Under-Sink Water Filters

Under-sink filters are perfect for condos because they get out of the way yet provide high-quality purified water right from your faucet. They are ideal if you do not have much counter space yet require a reliable filtration system.

Top Picks:

- Aquasana 3-Stage Max Flow: This is a 3-stage, under-sink system designed to remove up to 99% of contaminants that could include lead, chlorine, pesticides, and more. This has a compact footprint which means it can fit nicely with minimal installation and hassle with replacing filters.

 - iSpring RCC7: With its 5 stages in the reverse osmosis process, the iSpring RCC7 not only filters out all contaminants but also purifies and improves the taste. Being a bit larger is less significant because it accommodates nicely in most under-sink areas, providing superlative filtration with hardly any upkeep.

Pros: Space-saving, high filtration efficiency, accessible directly from the tap.

Cons: Takes some under-sink space and installation requires a little plumbing knowledge.

2. Countertop Water Filters

Countertop filters are great if you're renting or just prefer an option that doesn't require installation. They hook up directly to your faucet to provide filtered water on demand, without taking up too much counter space.

Best Options:

- AquaTru Countertop RO System: This reverse osmosis system removes virtually all contaminants without the use of plumbing. It's compact enough for condo kitchens, and it offers a four-stage filtration process.

- Big Berkey: Although it's a bit bigger than some other countertop filters, the Big Berkey can fit in a corner easily, and it's a highly portable, durable solution that effectively removes bacteria and heavy metals.

Pros: No installation, portable, great filtration capacity.

Cons: Takes up counter space, might be much smaller than under-the-counter units.

3. Faucet-Mounted Filters

If you are looking for an easy, cost-effective installation, faucet-mounted filters simply fit to your kitchen faucet. These are best for condominiums that do not offer a lot of counter space or that may require easily movable filtration. Most of the more advanced faucet-mounted filters include two positions, one that bypasses the filter and returns full tap flow.

Recommended

Among which is this

- The PUR Advanced Faucet Filtration System. This type is budget friendly, and easy to attach to places such as an oven and gets to remove Lead and many contaminants over 72 of the different types.

Lower filtration capacity, may decrease water flow, not compatible with all faucets.

4. Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse osmosis systems are one of the best options for condo owners who prioritize water purity highly. They filter nearly every impurity, from heavy metals to bacteria to chemicals, providing excellent-quality water. Some RO systems take up more space, but there are compact designs for RO systems in today's market that fit small spaces as well.

Best Option:

- Waterdrop Compact RO System: This compact system is tankless and can be installed under the sink. It's ideal for condos. Quiet, efficient, and up to 99% contaminant removal.

- Express Water RO5DX: The Express Water RO5DX is a compact RO system with a 5-stage filtration process. It fits under most kitchen sinks and gives you high-quality purified water.

Pros

High filtration efficiency and works well for the elimination of a wide range of impurities and long-lasting filters

Cons

More expensive when getting it initially, space below the sink and an installed one needs a professional.

5. Pitcher Water Filters

Condo owners who want the ultimate convenience and mobility option are perfect for water filter pitchers. No installation is necessary. They can be put inside the fridge, allowing cool and filtered water at all times.

- Brita Everyday Pitcher: Popular and affordable. Removes chlorine and other impurities that give water its unpleasant taste. Lightweight and small enough to fit in smaller spaces.

- ZeroWater Pitcher: ZeroWater uses a 5-stage filtration process that removes even more dissolved solids than many pitcher filters. This is one of the best options for condo owners looking for a portable yet highly filtered unit.

Pros: Portable, no installation, and relatively inexpensive.

Cons: Limited capacity, so will often need to be refilled and filters changed.

6. Whole House Water Filters for Condos

Less common for condos because they usually have a plumbing issue. However, if it's okayed by your condo complex, then a whole-house water filter system would be the most effective in filtering all faucets and showerheads as well as washing machines.

Top Picks:

- Aquasana Rhino Whole House System: Removes chlorine and other chemical additives; it is well-suited for condos because plumbing is accessible. Relatively small for a whole-house unit, it is useful in water quality improvement across the house through all the taps.

- Express Water Whole House Filter: This system minimizes sediment, chlorine, and many other impurities with a compact design; it will work for a condo setting if the plumbing has been readied for that use.

They work for each source of water at your apartment to ensure that every traceable impurity dissolved post filtration translates to an increase in water quality generally. To make water flow towards the point of purification they demand an installation through a pipeline that could well be an unaffordable process.

Conclusion: Ensure Clean, Healthy Water with a Reliable Water Filtration System

Condo living doesn't have to mean sacrificing water quality. From compact under-sink systems to portable pitchers, there is a water filtration solution to fit any space or budget. Consider your water quality needs, available space, and budget to choose the best system for your condo. From advanced RO systems to simple faucet filters, cleaner, better-tasting water is just a step away.

Choosing Custom Curtains for Different Room Types: From Bedrooms to Living Rooms

Custom curtains can greatly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of any room in your home. By selecting the right type of curtain for each room, you can achieve both style and practicality. This article explores how to choose custom curtains for various room types, including bedrooms, living rooms, and more.

1. Custom Curtains for Bedrooms

In bedrooms, curtains play a crucial role in creating a restful and comfortable environment:

Blackout Curtains: For optimal sleep quality, consider custom blackout curtains. They block out external light and provide privacy, ensuring a dark and serene sleeping environment.

Thermal Insulated Curtains: These are ideal for maintaining a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. They help keep the room warm in winter and cool in summer, contributing to a better night’s sleep.

Fabric Choices: Opt for soft, cozy fabrics like velvet or cotton. Choose colors and patterns that promote relaxation and complement the bedroom décor.

2. Custom Curtains for Living Rooms

The living room is often a focal point for both family activities and entertaining guests. Custom curtains can enhance its appearance and functionality:

Sheer Curtains: For a light and airy feel, sheer curtains are a great choice. They allow natural light to filter through while providing a level of privacy.

Custom Drapes: To add elegance and drama, custom drapes can be tailored to the room’s dimensions. Choose fabrics that complement the furniture and décor, and consider patterns or textures to add visual interest.

Layering: Combining sheer curtains with heavier drapes offers flexibility in controlling light and privacy. This layering technique allows you to adjust the ambiance according to your needs.

3. Custom Curtains for Home Offices

Creating a productive work environment at home involves thoughtful curtain selection:

Sound Insulating Curtains: To minimize distractions and improve concentration, sound insulating curtains can help reduce external noise. Choose fabrics with acoustic properties to enhance focus and productivity.

Light Control: Depending on your work requirements, opt for curtains that offer adjustable light control. Custom shades or blinds can be combined with drapes for precise light management.

Professional Look: Select curtains that convey a professional and organized appearance. Neutral colors and clean lines work well in a home office setting.

4. Custom Curtains for Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are often used for both everyday meals and special gatherings. Custom curtains can enhance the atmosphere and functionality:

Elegant Drapes: For a sophisticated look, consider custom drapes in luxurious fabrics like silk or brocade. These can add a touch of refinement to the dining area.

Practical Considerations: Choose curtains that are easy to clean and maintain, especially if the dining room is frequently used. Fabrics that resist stains and can be wiped clean are practical choices.

Color and Pattern: Coordinate the curtains with your dining room’s color scheme and décor. Consider patterns or textures that complement the dining table and chairs.

5. Custom Curtains for Kitchens

In the kitchen, curtains should be both functional and stylish:

Durable Fabrics: Opt for durable and easy-to-clean fabrics, such as cotton or synthetic blends. Kitchens can be prone to spills and splatters, so choose materials that withstand frequent washing.

Custom Valances: For a neat and tidy appearance, custom valances or short curtains work well. They provide privacy while allowing natural light to enter the space.

Functional Design: Consider curtains with easy-to-operate mechanisms, such as tiebacks or roller shades, for convenience in a busy kitchen environment.

6. Custom Curtains for Bathrooms

Bathrooms require curtains that combine privacy with practicality:

Waterproof Curtains: For durability and ease of maintenance, choose waterproof or water-resistant fabrics. This is especially important for curtains around the shower or tub area.

Privacy: Ensure that the curtains provide adequate privacy. Frosted or opaque fabrics work well in bathrooms where visibility needs to be minimized.

Ventilation: Opt for materials that dry quickly and resist mold or mildew growth. This ensures that the curtains remain fresh and hygienic in a moisture-prone environment.

Conclusion

Custom curtains can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of any room in your home. By selecting the right type of curtains for each room, you can achieve a balance of style, comfort, and practicality. Whether for a bedroom, living room, home office, or any other space, custom curtains offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs and preferences.

Eco-Friendly Interior Design: Sustainable Solutions for Your Home

As awareness of environmental issues grows, eco-friendly interior design is becoming increasingly popular. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but also contributes to a more sustainable and healthier environment. Here’s how you can embrace sustainable solutions in your interior design:

1. Choose Sustainable Materials

Opt for materials that are eco-friendly and have a minimal environmental impact. Look for:

Bamboo: A rapidly renewable resource used for flooring, furniture, and decor.

Recycled Glass: Ideal for countertops and tiles, recycled glass reduces waste and adds a unique touch.

Reclaimed Wood: Salvaged from old buildings or furniture, reclaimed wood offers a rustic charm and helps reduce deforestation.

2. Opt for Low-VOC Paints

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in traditional paints can negatively impact indoor air quality. Choose low-VOC or no-VOC paints that are less harmful and contribute to a healthier living environment. Many eco-friendly paint options come in a wide range of colors and finishes, so you don’t have to compromise on style.

3. Incorporate Energy-Efficient Lighting

Energy-efficient lighting solutions not only reduce your energy bills but also minimize your environmental footprint. Consider:

By integrating these eco-friendly interior design solutions, you can create a home that reflects your commitment to sustainability while enjoying a stylish and comfortable living space. Embracing these practices not only benefits the environment but also promotes a healthier lifestyle for you and your family.

Hi there! I’m a wizard o the sea! I live in my tower on the ocean floor, just a bit northwest of wizard island. I do your general water spells, so let me know if the water to your tower goes out, I may be able to help. Was in general magic studies during wizard college before going into water magic. Asks are open and welcome!

Art of myself I drew is below the cut

Bonus drawing of me and Danny the squid familiar.

Here is my water gun, the Super Soaker

Materials list: white is sea leviathan eggshell (for magic conduction) red is magma worm skin (to heat water and take in excess heat) black is cursed steel (for durability) gold is melted down protection amulets (for a curse ward) purple is dragon scale (for shot strength) brown is centaur leather (for control) and finally blue is mana infused water, coming from a tube stuck in the wrist of yours truly. I keep the gun in my robes cause it’s not registered with the wizard council and it is a very modified firearm (and definitely not cause I can’t draw hands)

Here is my heart along with a key of what’s what. Some notes to make 1: Conduits carry mana rich water taken in through the skin. Arteries carry pure mana and veins carry plain water (with very trace amounts of mana not filtered out by the lung) 2: the hydrothaumic lung (8) operates quickly forcing mana rich water next to (9), which draws out the mana leaving water. The water is then taken out with the veins. 3: the hydrothaumic pump is fueled by the pulmonary arteriole. The reason the pump is necessary is because the heart, with its modifications, lost much of its original strength in order to manipulate mana. 4: The vena cava (18) splits in order to dispose of waste water and to fuel the super soaker the aorta carries mana through arteries to the rest of the body. No runes on this as it’s older hardware and also organic (sorta); the (1) and (8) as well as the(9), (11), (7), and (17) are not.

Apply These 7 Secret Techniques to Improve Your Jug

Bubble Bratz In the realm of beverage containers, the humble jug often goes unnoticed. However, it plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, from serving drinks at gatherings to storing liquids in the kitchen. Improving the functionality and aesthetics of your jug can enhance its usability and appeal. Here are seven secret techniques to elevate your jug to new heights.

1. Choose the Right Material

The material of your jug significantly impacts its performance and longevity. Traditional materials like glass, ceramic, and stainless steel each have unique advantages:

Glass: A classic choice, glass jugs are non-reactive, making them ideal for storing acidic beverages like juices and wine. They also allow you to see the contents, adding a visual appeal. However, they can be fragile and heavy.

Ceramic: Ceramic jugs are aesthetically pleasing and can keep liquids cool for longer periods. They are also non-reactive but can be prone to chipping.

Stainless Steel: Known for its durability and lightweight nature, stainless steel jugs are excellent for both hot and cold beverages. They are also easy to clean and maintain.

2. Ergonomic Design

An ergonomic design ensures that your jug is comfortable to use, reducing strain on your hand and wrist. Look for jugs with handles that fit your grip naturally and spouts that pour smoothly without dripping. A well-designed jug should have a balanced weight distribution to prevent spills and make pouring easier.

3. Innovative Spout Technology

The spout is a crucial component of any jug, determining how smoothly and accurately you can pour liquids. Some advanced spout technologies to consider include:

Drip-Free Spouts: Designed to prevent drips and spills, these spouts ensure a clean pour every time.

Filtered Spouts: Ideal for jugs used to serve beverages like iced tea or fruit-infused water, filtered spouts keep unwanted particles from entering your glass.

Adjustable Flow Spouts: These spouts allow you to control the flow rate, making it easier to pour without splashing.

4. Insulation for Temperature Control

Insulated jugs are essential for maintaining the temperature of your beverages. Double-walled insulation keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for extended periods. This feature is especially beneficial for outdoor events or long gatherings where you want to ensure your drinks stay at the desired temperature.

5. Aesthetic Appeal

A visually appealing jug can enhance the overall dining experience. Consider the following elements to improve the aesthetic appeal of your jug:

Color and Finish: Choose a color and finish that complements your kitchen or dining decor. Matte finishes offer a contemporary look, while glossy finishes provide a classic appeal.

Patterns and Designs: Unique patterns and designs can make your jug a focal point. Hand-painted ceramics or etched glass can add an artistic touch.

Custom Labels: Personalizing your jug with custom labels or engravings can make it a special item, perfect for gifts or special occasions.

6. Ease of Cleaning

A jug that is easy to clean will ensure hygiene and longevity. Here are some tips to enhance the cleanliness of your jug:

Wide Mouth Openings: Jugs with wide mouth openings are easier to clean, allowing you to reach all corners and remove any residue.

Dishwasher Safe: Ensure your jug is dishwasher safe for convenient and thorough cleaning.

Removable Parts: Jugs with removable spouts or handles are easier to disassemble and clean, ensuring no hidden spots for bacteria to grow.

7. Multi-Functional Use

A versatile jug can serve multiple purposes, making it a valuable addition to your kitchen. Consider these multi-functional features:

Infuser Insert: An infuser insert allows you to add fruits, herbs, or tea bags to your jug, creating flavored beverages with ease.

Measurement Markings: Jugs with measurement markings are useful for cooking and baking, allowing you to measure liquids accurately.

Stackable Design: Stackable jugs save space in your kitchen and are convenient for storage.

Conclusion

Improving your jug with these seven secret techniques can enhance its functionality, aesthetic appeal, and overall user experience. Whether you're hosting a party, preparing a family meal, or simply enjoying a refreshing drink, a well-designed jug can make a significant difference. By choosing the right material, focusing on ergonomic design, incorporating innovative spout technology, ensuring proper insulation, enhancing aesthetic appeal, making cleaning easier, and adding multi-functional features, you can transform your jug into a versatile and indispensable kitchen tool.

macha combat notes

Paper Supply

The case that's always at her hip has approx. 550 sheets of printer paper in it at the start of a mission. (When they have extremely limited resources pre-Wandering Sea arrival, this amount begins to dwindle until she's out halfway through LB2. That triggers a whole breakdown but that's a story for another day.)

Prior to Orleans, her magecraft could only go so far in reinforcing the paper to be durable against water and retardant against flame. If the paper is damaged before she can apply magecraft, she is shit out of luck.

Da Vinci begins providing her with perfectly fireproof and waterproof paper after fires in Fuyuki screwed Macha over. ("I wondered what that case you asked me to make was for! Why didn't you also ask me to enchant the printer paper you stole? I'm a genius, you know?")

Paper Magecraft (Papercraft) Capabilities

Macha is well-versed in reinforcing and altering paper and paper-related products (papyrus, amate; also including some other things made from plant fiber like cardboard and filters). Their structures are so inherently understood to her that she doesn't have to think about them when changing them. Fibrous structures could in theory become her overall speciality with training, but perhaps due to a strange side effect of her family's Thaumaturgical Attribute ("Obsession"), she stubbornly always tries to stick to paper.

With the listed products, Macha can:

Fold it any way she likes

Extend the fibers to a certain degree

Overlap fibers to fuse pieces together

Sharpen them until they cut like a blade

Make the fibers strong enough to stop bullets

In the same vein, apply a degree of waterproof and flame retardant properties to paper that does not already have these qualities (if she obtains such types of paper she can push the quality to a higher degree as well)

Control paper she's already modified from short distances

She can apply these capabilities to many different things. Because she often makes things out of paper using her magecraft, she calls her own talent "papercrafting". In addition to all of this, she can recreate a lot of things she sees with paper, as she spent 20 years of her life doing exactly that ad nauseum.

When it comes to measuring the paper amount required for a given craft in writing, printer paper is used as the standard; in other words, "guess how much is needed when one material is a head tall and thin". The more thickness+surface area = more paper needed. The larger a craft, the more magical energy she needs as well. A paper recreation of herself would take two and a half Machas worth of energy as a standard.

Paper can be reused as long as it is not heavily damaged and is safely returned to her case.

Papercraft examples: 1, 2, 3

Magus Stats and Magecraft Knowledge

Both her Origin and Element are Paper. This is caused by the aforementioned Thaumaturgical Attribute, which enables mages of the Schmied lineage to have their Element be their Origin from birth. They will also deeply and inherently understand the qualities of things connected to their Origin, and any magecraft related to it will require significantly less preparation to pull off (in many cases only necessary materials are required).

Her Circuit quantity is average, quality slightly above average—a second-rate magus. She can support many Servants on her own, but backup is required from Chaldea to bring out the best of some. Of course in any case a Command Spell will always be what will bring out a Servant's full might.

She primarily relies on her papercraft. Until Tanya properly taught her before Septem, Macha didn't even know how to use her Command Spells and Mystic Codes. (This is mostly excused by Macha being omitted from a lot of basic civilian training due to Romani prioritizing treating her mental & physical ailments in time for her to be reasonably ready for the second Rayshift experiment.)

She also struggles with Shadow Servant summoning until America, where she's basically forced to use Shadows anyways because she's Servant-less for a significant period of time.

It's not until Camelot that she begins to fully understand the range of potential both the Command Spells and MCs have. By the Lostbelts she's started trying out other magecraft, particularly anything that gives her advantages in combat.

In Combat

Macha is the most confrontational Master in the team (prior to her even more confrontational little brother joining). While she has enough sense to delegate most Servant fights to her own Servants, she will often get directly involved in many monster and human battles of her own initiative. Even when relying on a Servant, she will provide offensive backup when the opportunity presents itself.

She likes to fashion her paper into rudimentary swords or throw sharpened pieces at enemies like throwing knives. She is strangely well-versed in the ways of killing humans through cutting and slashing. Macha has trouble with people with more combat experience than her...in the beginning, at least. Over time is a different story...

She can block unenchanted physical weapons of human make with her paper on her own by making shields on the fly. Defense against enchanted weapons and spiritual attacks requires backup from a Servant like Medea, and even with such backup, defense against divine constructs or any blows from a Noble Phantasm are extremely difficult if not outright impossible. Even daring to try and defend from a Servant's punch like this could seriously injure or kill her.

This all is not to say that she deliberately gets into fights, however. She actually tries to mitigate the amount of battle encounters the team has through careful planning, and is all for eliminating potential threats before they're actualized. Since she's usually trying to do this alone without anyone noticing, this won't always work. Sometimes she won't even be honest with her intentions with her own comrades on impulse. She's only honest about her plans with her Servants. ("our insane master is plotting something utterly off the rails again" - macha's servants; "LMFAO" - archer (oda nobunaga) (macha's servant))

[theterribletenno]

Thought about writing some new unique materials for the Umbriel Reef and then I was like naah man that’s just homework.  That’s not an exciting new warframe, or an overpowered new weapon, or even a boss with deep lore. That’s just fucking filler text.

No fucking body needs to know about Hermitweed, an ocean plant that grows in midwater suspended by bladder-like leaves filled with fresh water so thoroughly filtered that Uranians use it as a source of drinking water during long trips, nor do they need to know its hardy stems are an organic carbon fiber which makes a highly durable, flexible, and renewable building and crafting material.

The number of people that would have even a detectable amount of unironic excitement about the existence of Hermitweed wold fit in the back seat of my 2014 Hyundai Accent.  And they’d probably start making out.
