i must admit you gave me somethin, momentarily,

in which i could believe

i think ame induced derangement is real. i think exposure to ame builds up an aggression. like it starts off as being annoyed and irritated by him when hes being annoying and irritating. but the more you have to be around him the more the aggression becomes really violent, while the reasoning becomes less and less rational. and one day hes going yum eating a burger and you feel overwhelmed with the urge to slam his face flat against the table

Sorry but we were speaking about history in a part of one of my classes and when the Vatican came on. I had to draw the sad dog man.

Machete is now immortalized in my class notes. It’s in spanish by the way, which is kind of funnily appropriate considering latin is very close to spanish.

ik a lot of ppl are upset about whats been revealed for double exposure and im not trying to start anything im just confused bc i thought it was generally accepted that the original game was about grief and the futility of trying to avoid it and how if you let your grief consume you all you end up doing is hurting yourself and the people around you as a form of collateral damage (including chloe) and not about max and chloe ending up together or living happily every after

and in regards to the idea that the game isnt respecting the saving chloe ending by not having them be together at the beginning of this new game I don't think that's entirely true because relationships are hard and you can sacrifice everything for someone and still not have it work out in the end (not to mention the potential of level of survivors guilt chloe could have) and the game could still contain a route of reconnection or resolution for their storyline/relationship? bc im pretty sure chloe is still in the game

also mechanics and dev wise you'd have to build two drastically different games if chloe is heavily involved in this game from the get go (if you're also respecting the saving arcadia ending). it would make sense that the parts involving chloe are a side branch of the overarching story because making two different branches is more realistic than building two separate games from the get go

Late Night quick thing (New Age Sillies)

Bad news: That joke post about including Reset + Orchid is definitely not canon. (I legit got sad thinking about Reset being in a universe where Orchid isn't- because their stories are so so intertwined- but Nightmare 100% would NOT risk the whole twins exploding Error's soul thing.)

Good news: This means I COULD include Kane (Reset's older brother who usually dies in timelines where Reset is born) and use it to develope his character a bit more! Also! Perhaps a Blue × Dream kiddo is finally in the stars for me to design?

hi its me again 🗣️

coming soon with a Another ara idk why i am this obssesed with her

i thought she would have a much more Background character Outfit idk the way suki and Katara describe her as this fragile pretty girl also tried to make her look older then my og because like RIGHT. shes been there for a Long time

"she is more the type to get someone to kill themsleves" was the best line EVER

THE ONE THE ONLY THE ARAAAAAA!!!! dude I love that you love her because you really do her character justice. Her resting bitch faced is captured so well in your art and I love how dramatic you draw the difference in the short/long hair because I do feel like Ara was two different characters considering where she started and where she ended up.

♟️🐈‍⬛ is so perfect to me because they just. Get. each other. also they come into the relationship with kids who aren't their kids but one of them is basically their kid so they fall asleep watching bluey or blues clues a lot

[whamss]

There's something cathartic about having just done a small write-up on troll quadrants and how they function in troll society, and how canon shows them slowly shifting towards a healthier framework towards the end of Homestuck, and then checking into that One Big Homestuck Server and getting to see the same terrible quadrant discussion I always do. Never change. Reading comprehension in the gutter, that entire server

Why Regular Window Maintenance is Essential for Longevity and Performance

Introduction:

Windows play a crucial role in the aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and overall functionality of your home or office. Over time, however, dirt, grime, weather exposure, and even simple wear and tear can damage your windows and reduce their lifespan. To prevent costly repairs or replacements, window maintenance services are essential in preserving the longevity and performance of your windows.

In this article, we will explore why regular window maintenance is crucial for maintaining the appearance and functionality of your windows. We'll also discuss the benefits of professional window maintenance services, the factors that affect window longevity, and how to ensure your windows are well cared for over the long term.

1. Preventing Damage from Environmental Exposure

Windows are exposed to a variety of external factors that can cause damage if not properly maintained. These include weather conditions, pollution, and natural debris. Regular maintenance can help prevent these factors from causing long-term harm to your windows.

Weather Exposure: Constant exposure to rain, snow, and intense sunlight can deteriorate the window seals, causing condensation, water leakage, and even mold buildup. Regular cleaning of window panes and frames can prevent this damage, ensuring that windows are able to perform their function of insulation and weatherproofing effectively.

Airborne Contaminants: Dust, pollen, and pollution can accumulate on window surfaces over time, making them appear dirty and causing scratches or staining. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can remove these particles and keep the windows looking fresh and clear.

2. Improving Energy Efficiency

One of the primary functions of windows is to provide insulation and regulate the internal climate of your home or office. Over time, dirt buildup on windows or damaged seals can significantly affect energy efficiency. For those in need of professional care, opting for an Office Window Washing Service in Providence can help restore the clarity and functionality of your windows, improving both aesthetics and energy performance.

Energy Loss: Dirty windows, especially those with smudges or debris, can block sunlight and affect the thermal efficiency of your windows. When windows are not clean or well-maintained, the natural light entering your home is reduced, forcing you to use artificial lighting, which increases energy consumption.

Seals and Insulation: Proper window maintenance ensures that the seals around your windows remain intact, preventing drafts from entering your home. Leaky or damaged windows can lead to higher heating and cooling costs, as your HVAC system will have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.

3. Enhancing Curb Appeal and Property Value

First impressions matter, and windows are one of the first things that visitors, potential buyers, and passersby notice. Regular maintenance ensures that your windows remain visually appealing, contributing to the overall curb appeal of your property.

Aesthetic Benefits: Clean, well-maintained windows improve the overall look of your home or building. Whether it's a residential property or a commercial building, dirty or damaged windows can give the impression of neglect. Regular maintenance will ensure that your windows stay clear, free from streaks, and looking like new.

Property Value: Regular window maintenance helps protect the value of your property. If you are planning to sell, potential buyers will take notice of well-maintained windows, which can increase your property’s market value. Well-maintained windows also reduce the likelihood of needing costly repairs down the road, making your property a more attractive investment.

4. Extending the Lifespan of Windows

Windows are an investment, and their longevity depends on proper care and maintenance. Whether your windows are made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, or fiberglass, regular maintenance can significantly extend their lifespan.

Addressing Minor Issues Before They Become Major Problems: Small issues like cracks, gaps, or loose seals can develop into much larger and more expensive problems if left untreated. Regular inspections and maintenance allow you to catch these issues early, preventing them from turning into costly repairs or replacements.

Preventing Corrosion and Decay: For wooden windows, moisture and humidity can lead to wood rot or corrosion. For metal windows, rust can develop if they are not properly sealed. Regular cleaning and maintenance, such as applying sealants or lubricants, can prevent these issues and help protect the material integrity of your windows.

5. The Benefits of Professional Window Maintenance Services

While homeowners can perform basic window cleaning and maintenance themselves, professional window maintenance services offer several advantages.

Expertise: Professional window cleaners have the knowledge and experience to identify issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye. They can spot potential problems, such as worn-out seals or cracks in the frame, and recommend appropriate solutions.

Time-Saving: Window maintenance can be time-consuming, especially for multi-story homes or large commercial properties. Hiring professionals ensures that the job gets done efficiently and safely, without requiring you to spend your valuable time on the task.

Safety: Cleaning windows at height can be dangerous, especially for those who don’t have the proper equipment or experience. Professional services come equipped with the right tools and safety measures to ensure the job is done without putting anyone at risk.

Conclusion

Regular window maintenance services are crucial for ensuring the longevity and functionality of your windows. Not only do they help maintain the aesthetic appeal of your property, but they also contribute to energy efficiency, prevent costly repairs, and increase property value. Whether you opt for a DIY approach or hire professional services, taking care of your windows will pay off in the long run by keeping them in excellent condition and extending their lifespan. By scheduling regular inspections and cleaning, you can protect your investment and ensure that your windows continue to serve you well for years to come.
