plastics are so sodding stupid
okay infuriating is a more accurate term here I suppose.
One of the biggest problems with plastic pollution is that plastics are very slow to degrade, and end up sticking around where they're not wanted for ages. Which is BadTM. But you'd think that hey, at least this is good for purposes where they're meant to last long, right? Like in museums!
Except no! Plastics are contrarian little fucks and go cause the exact opposite problem in museums. Because plastic objects have the potential to "to experience rapid and often spectacular disintegration with very little advance warning". And while degrading, they also often release substances that negatively affect other objects stored around them to boot.
And since there's SO MANY different kinds of plastics, from what I understand conservation of plastic objects in museums is kinda like playing whackmole as we struggle to keep up with different types of plastics and the varied ways in which they degrade. Each causing different problems and needing different solutions, of course, and why not shove multiple kinds of plastics within the same object for extra flavour? That way even treating one part of the object puts the rest of it at risk! Oh, joy.
Anyway plastics are stupid and they make it their goal to be a pain in the neck in every context they possibly can.

i just heard one of my favorite youtubers say this meme out loud in a video and the pronounciation FLOORED ME so now i gotta know:
poll is just "which way do you say it"; tags is "which way is right", assuming your answer to "which way is right" is different to "which way do you say it". or i guess tags are also for uhhhhhh if your answer is complicated and if you wanna explain, if you have a diff way of pronouncing (pls tell meeeee), or whatever else you want, im not your parents, idk

“It’s very rare, but some powers can awaken and affect objects aside from the wielder!!!”

I always thought Mar’i would be best friends with Lian Harper and Irey West if DC let them exist in the same timeline. Ugh! Another missed opportunity 😔
Yess!! I think they would make great friends as kids. The possibilities with these 3, especially if they end up taking after their fathers... ohh boy. but there would be age gaps. Lian, of course, was an accident and even a secret for awhile. Irey (and Jai) came next and then of course Mar'i! She's the youngest, but as she grows older, she'd be the one getting the other two out of sticky situations.
Bonus: Young Lian meeting Mar'i for the first time

oh this whole conversation and dynamic is fascinating. i love you. i hate the source of your power. you keep walking towards your power. do you love me? i love what you can do with your power. but not more than i love you. can you say the same?
you wouldn't lie to me again. would you. this isn't a one way road. im not feeding her, she's feeding me-
i don't understand.
if you can't reconcile with that, it's okay- *interrupts her with a kiss*
I'll never let you go. And if you need her. Then that's my answer.
(oh you two are fucked up fucked up. :'D)
