Food and Substance headcanon

The Brotherhood always had a strict dietary regiment with the goal of keeping its soldiers in tiptop shape. Food from the wasteland, Capital or Commonwealth, was largely prohibited as it they couldn’t guarantee the radiation levels were safe enough to eat. Such food could lead to radiation sickness, or worse, turning their soldiers into ghouls.

The food in the Brotherhood was never great. I was never meant to be great, it was meant for nutrition to sustain an entire military. Under Elder Lyons, it was at least palatable.

With Maxson things changed. Maxson is not a logistics-minded leader, preferring instead to focus on presence and appearances worthy of an organization that would rule the wasteland. With all their resources being poured into building the Prydwen, food and supply issues became more of an issue.

The quality of food plummeted and everyone found themselves eating Salisbury steak every day to meet their daily protein needs.

While out in the field, however, you were expected to take your chances on what you could find.

Danse liked LRRO’s for that reason. He’d been in the Brotherhood for close to 20 years. The Salisbury steak had always been a cornerstone of Brotherhood dining, but it was nothing compared to the last 4 when Arthur Maxson became elder. Long Range Reconnaissance Operations gave him the opportunity to taste something else, ANYTHING else. (If he were lucky, he’d get a box of Fancy Lads snack cakes to himself, though he’d never admit to liking such a thing to his squad).

They’d find various canned foods or 200 year old Yum Yum Deviled Eggs to eat. None of it was GOOD per se, but at least it was different. If Danse were being honest, the concept of food being “delicious” was foreign to him before trying his first Fancy Lad.

The first time he had a Fancy Lad was by way of peer pressure from Proctor Teagan, the Prydwen’s supplier of all things contraband. It brought a tear to his eye. He was riddled with guilt afterwards for being a hypocrite. He was ashamed, but from then on it became part of his supply along with the bottles of Buffout and hard liquor.

Teagan didn’t judge. He knew everyone’s vices. He was their supplier after all. He knew what chems, alcohol, contraband food, and even porn all of the high ranking members of the Brotherhood preferred. The only ones who didn’t partake were Kells and Quinlan.

Truth be told, Danse was Teagan’s best customer. He always paid up in a timely manner. His requests were so mild, and downright wholesome, that they were the easiest to fill. For such mild vices, Danse also went through the greatest amount of care to be discreet.

Danse didn’t think he deserved luxuries and felt a deep sense of shame for indulging himself. He made a point of not knowing who else did what he did. The fact that he was doing it was enough.

The Buffout was for his performance on the field so he could better protect his squad. The cigarettes were to calm his nerves. The increasing amount of bottles of hard liquor were to numb himself when he drank alone in his quarters (he really needed to find a way to get rid of all of the bottles piling up in that crate in the corner). The Fancy Lads, well, he just needed to taste something that wasn’t Salisbury fucking steak.

The Fancy Lads were the vice that irked him the most. The rest he could explain away for practical reasons. Those infernal cakes were strictly pleasure.

---

When you're out in the field with Danse, he's always professional. He takes a utilitarian approach towards food. You find yourselves rummaging through the ruins of Boston looking for something to eat. You're famished. Anything would be good right about now.

You come across an unopened refrigerator from before the war. You open it up. Lying on the shelf are two boxes of Salisbury steak. A look of vague exasperated disappointment passes over his face. It's so brief you wonder if you imagined it.

“Outstanding,” he mumbles though his heart isn't in it, “let's break for lunch.”

You eat your meal in silence. Towards the end, you slip him a Fancy Lad snack cake from your stash. He's alarmed and curses himself inwardly because you know his secret and he doesn't eat these things in front of anyone. Then that alarm turns to delight because he can't think of a better chaser after choking down another slightly irradiated steak with what has to be an absurd amount of sodium than one of these heavenly cakes.

He gobbles it down vaguely wondering if Maxson ordered you to offer him one as some kind of test, which he just failed. He doesn't care. At least he got something other than Salisbury steak.

Nothing happens. Maxson doesn't suddenly appear in some "gotcha" moment. You both enjoy your dessert in peace.

Ad Victoriam.

the set up — rafe cameron; part twenty

summary: you've been one of the pogues since childhood, and your loyalty has always lied within your friend group, who is practically your family. when a threat by the name of rafe cameron begins to threaten the pogue's plans, they assign you to gain the trust of the dubious kook and keep an eye on what he's up to. however, now it's been six months since your friends set you up to spy on the kook prince himself, but what you didn't anticipate was to fall head over heels for the boy. your relationship had soon become inviolable shortly after your guys' first exchanges, much to your friends' dismay, and you two became practically inseperable. that was, until rafe discovers the truth.

warnings: a lot of angst, mentions of mental health issues, time jump

author's note: good luck

It's been six months since you last saw Rafe Cameron.

The last conversation you both had was anything but pleasant, the words still stinging in your mind. The truth spilled out of you like a dam breaking, revealing the set-up against him that you and your friends had concocted. He pleaded for you to stay, his heart shattered into tiny pieces, and against your better judgement, you spent the night with him.

But as the sun rose and reality sank in, you knew it was best for you to leave before he woke up. You made a promise to give him space, hoping that he would come around on his own. But as days turned into weeks and then months, you never heard from him again.

Unable to face him at the golf course where he frequently visited, you quit your job there and found a new one at the Beach Club alongside JJ. The long hours and minimum wage were far from ideal, but it was enough to sustain you and JJ as you waited for your friends to return from hiding. In those moments, JJ became your lifeline - the only person who could make this unbearable situation even slightly bearable.

Each day seemed to drag on forever as you waited for that phone call from Rafe, hoping against all hope that he would forgive you and start fresh. But it never came. Slowly, a deep depression began to consume you as every day without him felt like a lifetime of agony. When you weren't working at the club, you locked yourself away in your room, trying to shut out the world and its painful reminders. Life lost its meaning as each day passed without any contact with Rafe. It felt like an endless cycle of loneliness and despair, an endless punishment for your foolish mistake.

"Hey there, how's it going, kid?" JJ inquires, coming up from behind with a pair of glass cups in each hand, interrupting your usual daydreaming routine. You straighten up your posture and forge a smile his way, watching as he scurried around the kitchen.

"Doing alright," you reply with a semi-flat tone, still somewhat detached from reality. "Is it a large gathering or something?" You motion towards the numerous cups he tossed into the sink, remnants of beer and liquor leaving their mark at the bottom.

"It was a damn party with sixteen people," he huffs, blowing loose strands of his blond hair out of his face. "Kids, parents, the whole shebang. It was a complete disaster."

You chuckle at his remark, shaking your head. "You'll have that, I guess."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just didn't get much sleep last night, that's all." You keep your statement brief, hoping to sidestep any further scrutiny from JJ, who has a knack for probing. You're aware that his concern stems from witnessing your gradual downturn since the breakup with Rafe. Every agonizing night, he'd pass by your room in the hallway, hearing the stifled sobs, mistakenly thinking you were keeping it quiet.

The sound of clanging dishes fills the air as Sofia, your coworker, enters the kitchen. She balances a stack of dirty plates in her arms and greets you and JJ with a wide smile. Her eyes sparkle mischievously as she poses her question, "Hey guys, am I missing out on some gossip in here?"

You shake your head, amused by JJ's usual grumblings about customers, "Not much besides JJ venting."

Sofia playfully rolls her eyes and lets out a giggle at JJ's never-ending frustration with their clientele. But then her expression turns more serious as she shares her news, "But hey, I wanted to let you guys know there's gonna be a huge bonfire at the boneyard tonight. You should come."

You hesitate, unsure if attending such an event is your thing. "We'll be there," JJ interjects confidently, nudging your side with his elbow.

You turn to him with a shocked expression, surprised that he would answer for both of you without consulting you first. But JJ just looks back at you with a smug grin, knowing that you would have declined the invitation if given the chance. After all, spending your nights locked away in your room was your preferred way to unwind after a shift.

"Great! I'll see you guys later then," Sofia beams at JJ's agreement before leaving the kitchen and heading back to the dining area. "Really, JJ? You know those kinds of events aren't my thing," you scowl at him, crossing your arms over your chest. If looks could kill, JJ would be dead by now.

"Well they used to your thing," JJ retorts, his tone firm but laced with concern. "You used to love going out, having fun, being around people. It's been months since...well, since everything happened with Rafe. And honestly, I'm worried about you. You've been shutting yourself off from the world, and it's not healthy."

You stare at him for a moment, his words sinking in. Despite your initial annoyance at his presumptuousness, you can't deny that he has a point. Since the fallout with Rafe, you've become a shell of your former self, hiding away from any social interaction and drowning in your own sorrow. As much as you hate to admit it, JJ is right – you need to start living again.

"Fine," you finally concede, sighing heavily. "I'll go to the bonfire tonight."

JJ's face breaks into a wide grin, relief evident in his eyes. "That's the spirit! Trust me, you'll have a good time. And who knows, maybe it'll help take your mind off things for a little while."

You can't help but feel a flicker of hope ignite deep within you. Maybe JJ is right. Maybe getting out and being around people again will help you heal, even if just a little bit. You try to push away the thoughts of Rafe that immediately flood your mind, but they still linger, like an unwanted guest overstaying their welcome.

As the day wears on, you find yourself in a state of nervous anticipation. You carefully pick out an outfit that strikes the delicate balance between casual and put-together, not wanting to draw too much attention but also wanting to feel good about yourself. When evening falls and the sky is painted with hues of orange and pink, you make your way out to the boneyard.

The beach is alive with activity as people gather around the roaring bonfire. The sound of laughter and music fills the air, and you can feel the vibrant energy pulsating through the crowd. You take a deep breath, trying to steady your racing heart, and step into the midst of the festivities.

JJ appears by your side, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Ready for some fun?" he asks, his voice barely audible above the clamor of voices and music.

You nod, summoning all your courage. "Yeah, let's do this."

As you navigate through the throng of people, you catch glimpses of familiar faces from work and around town. Sofia waves at you from a group near the fire, her smile infectious. You offer her a wave in return, grateful for her invitation tonight.

As you approach the fire, the heat washes over you, and you feel its warmth seep into your bones. The crackling of the flames is hypnotic, luring you closer like a moth to a flame. You find yourself drawn to the dancing shadows that flicker against the night sky.

JJ leads you to a group of people gathered around a makeshift bar not too far from the fire. The air is thick with laughter and conversation, and the scent of toasted marshmallows mingles with the salty sea breeze. You feel a sense of belonging in this moment, as if the weight upon your shoulders is slowly being lifted.

Sofia greets you with a hug, her cheerful demeanor contagious. "I'm so glad you made it. We were starting to think you might bail!"

You laugh nervously, feeling a surge of gratitude for these people who have accepted you into their circle without question. "No chance of that now," you reply, trying to match Sofia's energy.

As the night unfolds, Sofia guides you through the lively crowd, introducing you to various friends and acquaintances. The beach is bathed in the warm glow of the bonfire, and the sound of laughter and music fills the air. You start to feel a sense of belonging, appreciating the distraction from the weight of your thoughts.

Sofia eventually leads you towards a group of people gathered near a makeshift bar. The atmosphere here is electric, with the scent of salty sea breeze mingling with the aroma of toasted marshmallows. You watch as a skilled bartender whips up drinks, and the chatter around the bar is animated.

As Sofia continues with introductions, you exchange pleasantries with the friendly faces around you. The nervous anticipation begins to ease, replaced by a growing sense of enjoyment in the company of these new friends.

Suddenly, Sofia mentions that she wants to introduce you to her close-knit group of friends, and she guides you through the crowd towards a more secluded area. The noise from the bonfire and the distant waves becomes a distant hum as you navigate through the lively gathering.

Sofia's friends are engaged in conversation, their laughter punctuating the night air. You offer polite smiles as Sofia introduces you to each person in the group—Topper, Kelce, and then, the name that makes your heart skip a beat, Rafe.

The moment your eyes lock onto Rafe's, a wave of emotions crashes over you. His appearance, altered since the last time you saw him, is evident in the buzzcut that replaces his once unruly hair. His eyes, once filled with a youthful spark, now carry the weight of experiences and challenges. They appear more mature but also worn down, leaving you to wonder if the breakup and its aftermath have taken a toll on him.

Your heart pounds in your chest, each beat echoing the unresolved feelings and unspoken words between you two. The unrelenting gaze he holds sends shivers down your spine, a mixture of nostalgia and regret flooding your senses. It's as if time stands still, encapsulating the raw essence of the moment and the complex emotions entwined in your shared history.

Sofia, oblivious to the sudden shift in atmosphere, continues with the introductions. "This is Y/N, she works with me at the Beach Club. Y/N, meet Topper, Kelce, and, of course, Rafe."

You offer a polite smile, trying to maintain composure despite the tension emanating from Rafe. The silence stretches, and the unspoken words hang heavily in the air. Rafe remains silent, his intense gaze locked onto yours. The once-familiar connection now carries an undeniable weight, and the emotions between you are palpable. The distance between you and Rafe feels both vast and intimate, the unspoken tension hanging heavy in the air. His silence speaks volumes, and the unspoken dialogue between you becomes a poignant narrative of the time that has passed.

The sight of Sofia walking up beside Rafe, followed by his embrace, sends a sinking feeling straight to your heart. A knot tightens in your stomach as you watch the two of them, and Sofia's words hit you like a sudden storm. "Y/N, meet my boyfriend, Rafe," she says, her voice filled with happiness.

Shock sets in, and your world seems to tilt on its axis. The revelation that Rafe, the person you once shared everything with, has found solace and companionship with Sofia creates a sense of nausea. The emotions swirling within you are a tumultuous mix of disbelief, betrayal, and a deep ache that seems to resonate with each beat of your heart.

Your gaze remains fixed on them, unable to look away from the scene unfolding before you. The bonfire's glow casts a surreal light on the trio, emphasizing the complexity of the situation. Questions flood your mind, and you find yourself grappling with the harsh reality of Rafe moving on while you're still entangled in the aftermath.

With a flat tone, you manage to say, "We've met before," acknowledging the shared history that once connected you and Rafe. The air grows heavy, and his jaw clenches even tighter, creating an unspoken tension that hangs between you two. The weight of unspoken words and unresolved emotions lingers in the air, creating an atmosphere thick with discomfort and uncertainty.

Sofia looks between you and Rafe, sensing the tension but not fully understanding the depth of your past connection. She decides to change the subject, suggesting that you all grab drinks and join the group by the bonfire. The invitation hangs in the air, leaving you with a choice to make – whether to navigate the night alongside Rafe and Sofia or find a way to retreat from the situation.

Despite the internal turmoil, you manage a strained smile, agreeing to join the larger group. The trio makes their way toward the makeshift bar, where you can't help but feel Rafe's eyes on you. The silence between you is deafening, each step echoing with the weight of unspoken history.

As you reach the bar, Sofia engages in casual banter with the bartender, leaving you and Rafe standing side by side. The awkwardness is palpable, a silent conversation unfolding between stolen glances and lingering tension. The air becomes charged with the ghosts of memories – the shared laughter, the whispered confessions, and the painful parting words.

Suddenly, a voice cuts through the discomfort, a familiar one calling out to Sofia. She excuses herself, leaving you and Rafe alone for the first time since your worlds shattered. The seconds stretch into an eternity as you both avoid direct eye contact.

Finally, Rafe breaks the silence. His voice is low, tinged with a hint of regret. "It's been awhile."

Rafe's comment about the passage of time lingers in the air, a subtle acknowledgment of the distance that has grown between you. You keep your gaze fixed on the ground, finding it too painful to meet his eyes. The weight of unspoken words hangs heavy between you.

"Yeah," you murmur, your voice barely audible over the surrounding noise. "It has been a while."

A heavy pause follows, filled with the unspoken truth of your separation. The mention of time only serves to underscore the absence of communication, the unanswered questions, and the silence that has defined these months of solitude.

"You never called," you say, your words tinged with a mixture of hurt and frustration. The memories of that night resurface, the promises unfulfilled, and the subsequent silence that followed. The pain of that unanswered call echoes in your voice, a testament to the unresolved emotions that have lingered for far too long.

Rafe's jaw tightens as he absorbs your words. The unspoken tension in the air seems to thicken, heavy with the weight of unaddressed issues. The crowd around you continues to buzz with life, oblivious to the charged atmosphere between you and Rafe. It's a moment suspended in time, caught between the past and the present, with the possibility of either reconciliation or further divergence.

Rafe's silence lingers for a moment, and just as the tension becomes almost unbearable, Sofia reappears at his side, seemingly oblivious to the underlying dynamics. She takes hold of Rafe's arm and playfully insists he joins her in the revelry. He glances back at you, his expression a mix of regret and something else you can't quite decipher.

"See you around, Y/n," Rafe says in a voice that carries a tinge of sadness before he's gently pulled away into the crowd by Sofia. The moment hangs in the air as he disappears, leaving you with a whirlwind of emotions. The reality of seeing Rafe after all these months hits you, and the weight of the encounter settles heavily on your shoulders. The bonfire blazes on, the crackling flames providing an ironic backdrop to the unspoken turmoil within.

The air is thick with a mix of emotions as you hastily navigate through the crowd, the tears in your eyes threatening to spill over. The vibrant atmosphere around you is now a blur as you search desperately for JJ, the only anchor in this sea of turmoil. Your heart pounds with a sense of urgency, the need to escape the situation becoming more palpable with each passing second.

Finally spotting JJ near the makeshift bar, you approach him with a sense of desperation. His eyes widen in concern as he takes in your tear-strained face. "Hey, what happened?" he asks, his voice a soothing anchor in the midst of chaos.

You grab his arm, almost pulling him away from the crowd. "We need to leave, JJ. Now," you implore, your voice choked with emotion. He doesn't ask questions, simply nodding and following your lead. The two of you slip away from the bonfire, leaving behind the flickering flames and the haunting specter of a past you weren't ready to face.

As you retreat from the beach, the distant sounds of laughter and music fade into the background. The cool night air offers a temporary reprieve from the overwhelming emotions that threatened to consume you. JJ walks silently beside you, giving you the space to process whatever had transpired.

As you and JJ continue to walk away from the beach, the words tumble out of your mouth in a shaky confession. "He's dating Sofia," you manage to say, the weight of the realization hitting you like a ton of bricks. Before you know it, the tears you've been holding back begin to stream down your face.

JJ's eyes soften with understanding, and without a word, he wraps his arms around you in a comforting embrace. The sobs escape from deep within you, each one carrying the pain of witnessing the person you once loved move on with someone else.

You let the waves of emotion crash over you, leaning into JJ's support. His presence is a balm, a reminder that you're not alone in this difficult moment. The two of you stand there, the night air filled with the sound of your quiet sobs and the distant echoes of the beach party you've left behind.

In that vulnerable moment, JJ remains a steady anchor, offering solace without the need for words. The weight of heartbreak is momentarily eased by the warmth of his embrace, and for now, you find comfort in the friendship that has become your lifeline.

Ristretto in Pink (A Huskerdust Fic) Part Four

(--)()()()(z)(z)(z)(wnwnwnwnwn)

“A voice, sweettoned and sustained, called to him from the sea. Turning the curve he waved his hand, a seal’s, far out on the water, round. Usurper.”- James Joyce Ulysses (23)

Thus, the bloodied brutal brute pulped and purpled pushed and plummeted down the stairs in a crashing array as if orchestrated Wagnerly and with no end. Husk saw from his room with a view on the second story of Fitzgerald’s casino. He left to the tables. His streak began when the die fell on black 32, continuing with a rush of gasps, he bet on red 4, 7, and black 48. Again.

Again.

Again.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, the next and like prior, the cat continued to bet till it was done. Even in drunken stupor, he twinged at the tugging at his heart that was the cards and table. Men fell where he stood in cries of anguish; losers all-in-all at chance and had to be tossed out when the rowdiness began. Husk felt not for these tricks, he had just another card in the sleeve of his hat, in which prowess was his crowned jewel.

The cards were flipped: 15 total. He stared, shakingly at his deck, before asking his final call,

“Hit me!” And another card was dealt with a deep force, cracking the tabletop with a snap, which led a direct hit into the cat’s lungs. 24. His fur, if it could do such an act as skin, went pale. The dealer dragged his breath from his lungs, as if a kick to the chest. Yet the game was not over, it wasn’t! Husk leaped across the table and grabbed the dealer by the shirt, pulling one of his suspenders back far enough to ricochet back into him with a loud snap against the sinner’s chest. After a couple landed punches and a butt against the chin, two large hounds grabbed Husk by under the shoulders, and dragged him into a nearby room.

The room was dark, except for a now flickering lamp on a desk. The hounds pushed him against a wall and began drilling punch after punch into him, a rather plump and medium sized shark stood in the corner, the light shone on his side, and as each punch flopped the cat around, with barely a clear view, he could make out some semblance of his person.

“First you take our money. I give you a room. I give you girls. I give you liquor. But now, you lose it all; this is the third time this week you fuckin’ throw away my money! You practically sunk us, Husker! You’s not allowed in my casino, or any others in partnership of mine till you pay us back.” He went toward the door, opening it, before clicking his tongue, causing the two hounds to grab H. and with a swift kick of the side-door, throw him out into the alley.

If you were to stand in silence, waiting for the day to end, such a short span feels endless, though life isn’t eternal; ‘cept here.

Laying in the concrete, blood bubbling from his lips, and a tear down his cheek, he could not feel his chest as his veins poked and split and drained and drowned him. Nausea: such a nausea he had known in a long, long time. His life up to now was a bar song sewn in a phantom thread, dipped first in booze, and dried off by the flames of green-unprovided tender.

As he came to and seemingly without his own acknowledgement, he was dragging himself out of the alley, sitting up beside the brick wall, where quietly the sound of piano inched its way to his ears. Then a voice.

“Ah…and that my fresh new listeners was a piece of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. Isn’t it such a treat? A delight to the senses? Oh, I’d say it tickles a fancy as a bit of sax and booze, wouldn’t you agree, friends?” A click and then a spinning of vinyl, before a sudden growing from vocal pianissimo.

“Tonight I wish to present the vocal jam to our peanut butter and jelly, the genius of Miss Holiday herself. After which, Fitzgerald and Louis take the reins.” As the static groaned, like the creaking of a floorboard, Billie Holiday began to sing. A shadow drained out of the radio’s grate, onto the street, and on the wall across Husk, growing upward into what felt like its honest form. The music began to static and skip before going back to normal.

The shadow dissipated into vapor and in its place a finely-dressed deer. He patted down his overcoat and fixed his tie before pulling his cane out from underneath his coat and pushing his weight down onto it, itself bending slightly, as he grinned with starving southern generosity.

“You seem down my fine furred friend.” He leaned closer and placed a hand on Husk’s face, rubbing his cheeks, fresh blood staining his fingers as he forced a smile by pulling apart his lips. Husk groaned and cursed as the man licked his fingers after quick inspection.

“You’re never dressed without a smile.” he said singsongingly, “For a hungry boy like yourself shouldn’t live without sustenance! Word is you gambled one too many chances, your nine lives is up, is it not?” Husk goes to speak but is interrupted.

“Why I believe I can help you in your little predicament!” he said gaily as he placed a hand on his chest and flaunted it with a gentle limp. Husk breathed heavily as he sat back against the wall, coughing blood before speaking.

“And how’d you propose that radiohead?” This struck a nerve, the man tilted his head with a sudden snap, and creaked as blinked.

“Why to make you as strong and powerful as all overlords should be!” Husk shuddered. How does he know?

“W..yo..You could fix me?”

“Fix you! Why, I could better you for all of Hell! Or Hell, I could make you better just for your own sake, altruistic or otherwise! So what is then, do we have a deal?” He put his hand out, grinning with just his lips, his sharped dentures hiding in shuddering anticipation. Husk felt his ribs ache and looked up to the sky, then to the towering casino from where he was chastised, and to the demon who stood in front of him humorous and red.

Husk shook his hand firmly, with nothing else to lose, except for the gravity of freedom.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Some of Quentin Tarantino’s shall we say ‘proclivities’ are well-known and ribbed at.  But I never expected some of the more egregious moments in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood to seem downright quaint by comparison to some of his other work.  This QT-penned Robert Rodriguez joint hardly even needs a Written By credit when a scene features Tarantino’s character singled out by Vampire Selma Hayek so she can shove her foot in his mouth and pour liquor down her leg into his throat.  Everyone knows exactly why that happened, coupled with the obsessive montage of Richard ogling Kay’s toes.  This is pure, uncut trash-camp, for good or for ill.  Before it reveals its trick, this is a reasonably fun subversive action western.  Certainly not Tarantino firing on all cylinders in the writing department (nor are he and Clooney when it comes to acting), but it’s got an enjoyably acerbic wit to it which makes for novel viewing.  Once the truth of the Titty Twister bar is revealed, the script starts to take stupid pills by the fistful.  Sure, once the limbs are flying and the goo runs thick the film may not feel the need to lean on dialogue to drive interest.  But it would be fun to take maybe a second pass at some of the jokes, which start to feel more and more repetitive.  

Rodriguez has a way of rendering ultraviolence affable and glib, though he inhabits that pocket well.  In dialing the gore well past the point of reason, he disarms the stakes of the film, making it more about spectacle and very simple character beats: it’s about family and money and survival.  Our vampires are a wildly mixed bag, and this is a damning exhibit of the case for practical effects, or at least for understanding the limitations of different media and technology for your budget and capabilities.  Ooey gooey rat monsters and crazy, imaginative prosthetics?  More of this please.  Strangely stilted CGI transformations?  Keep that in the Asylum vault.  Fortunately, they resisted the impulse to lean into that too heavily, remaining with the more tactile rubber suits during the final stages of this last stand.  Why would vampires surround and furnish their hangout with so much décor which could potentially be weaponized against them?  Who cares.  Just let the mayhem wash over you.

Hi Elminx. I wanted to thank you for sharing some of your craft to me. It’s helped me refine spells, crafting personal associations with beloved ingredients from a far-away home *and* what I have. Your liquor magic fascinates me, even if I don’t drink much, practical and enjoyable magic with long shelf life is the best. Your dedication to being precise, to document helped me, especially with baneful spells. It’s helped me limit casualties, boost the efficiency of my spells and avoid backfires. I’ve seen actual progress and I can work with more ingredients than my raw hurt.

I like your approach both invest in the craft and be dedicated to it, and goo seek what we need and let nature give us what we need is a balance I’ve started to incorporate.

I can see it longtime and sustainably, while I was often on-and-off in my practice. There is a part of mystery and fate in what we do, but you’ve shown me, through your blogging, some ways to add a little magic on the daily, and to keep honing it, and to measure progression, and to use magic inwards to sustain me, before expanding outwards. Sharing is caring, so I’d like to thank you for caring for witches of all paths with your no nonsense yet benevolent approach.

This is simply an e-letter of gratitude, from me to you. Thank you.

Dear Sunglasses,

Thank you.

I...don't really have the words for how much this means to me. Except to say that I needed to read this today.

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR): Advanced Technology in Wastewater Treatment for Resource Management

Introducing MBR Technology The MBR technology is a new approach towards wastewater treatment rooted in biology and membrane filtration processes. It allows the complete removal of organic waste and contaminants to such a high degree that the effluent is suitable for water supply and ecological conservation purposes.

What is MBR Membrane Bioreactor

An MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) is one of the newest systems with capabilities for combining the treatment of activated sludge with membrane microfiltration or ultrafiltration. This technology makes it possible to remove pollutants contained in wastewater and reduces water pollution at the same time. Such an MBR system is most appropriate for local authorities and industries wishing to comply with high standards of wastewater treatment and low carbon emissions.

How Does MBR Technology Work

Membrane Filtration: After the biological treatment, the liquid is passed through ultrafiltration membranes, which are fine in nature and have the skill to separate solids, viruses, bacteria, and pathogens. As a result, the effluent can be discharged or reused freely.

Advantages of MBR Membrane Bioreactors

Effluent Quality: Contaminated water, which is not treated by traditional systems, is the most crucial concern in developing cities. Through MBR systems, contaminants are sufficiently removed and so help in complying with environmental laws. The quality of the reused water again is unsatisfactory for potable, industrial, and irrigation use.

Compact System Design: The MBR systems, due to high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in the tank, take less land area as compared to conventionalwastewater treatment systems. Therefore, the systems become more appropriate in urban as well as industrial plant areas that are space constrained.

Energy Efficient: A cost-effective operation is achieved with reduced energy consumption by using MBR technology. Enhanced efficiencies lead to fewer energy needs in wastewater, meaning decreased costs and maintained performance.

Practices of Using MBR Systems

The principal integration fields of MBR technology encompass, but are not limited to, the treatment of municipal and industrial effluent, as well as remote decentralized treatment systems. Some of the advanced biological treatment applications of municipal wastewater for cities or towns are: MBR systems are quickly adopted by municipalities to treat domestic sewerage to comply with discharge standards and enable the reuse of water.

Municipal Industrial Wastewater Treatment: The pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and petrochemical industries integrate MBR technology into their companies for the treatment of complex and contaminated industrial effluents to ensure environmental and social compliance.

Decentralized wastewater treatment with MBR is equally applicable for small communities or remote areas that do not allow for huge infrastructural works or systems. These regions represent an economically efficient and environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment solution.

Prospects of Development for MBR Technology:

The current preoccupation of the world’s population with climate change and resource scarcity is necessitating the development of water treatment methods, which consequently has created a need for MBR systems. An increase in the use of water recycling and wastewater treatment in industries and municipalities is expected to significantly increase the growth rate of MBR technology devices and systems in the coming years.

Challenges and Considerations in MBR Systems

Similar to any other innovation, MBR systems have the advantage of obligate membrane coagulation, alongside a reduction in efficiency and increase in costs. MBR has had refinements to its functions to address the membrane technology and operational strategies core issues that make it most suitable for the processes at hand.

Conclusion

The proprietary technology developed by MBR has shifted the paradigm in wastewater treatment by combining the desired effluent quality with energy and space efficiency. As the demand for sustainable water solutions invariably increases, it is quite clear that MBR technology has become indispensable for industries and municipalities striving to manage wastewater in an environmentally friendly and efficient manner.

Introduction

Spiced rum, a flavored variant of traditional rum infused with spices and sometimes additional flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves, has gained considerable popularity worldwide. As consumers increasingly seek new and unique drinking experiences, the spiced rum market has expanded rapidly. This article explores the latest trends and growth drivers influencing the spiced rum market, providing insights into its future prospects.

Market Trends

1. Rising Consumer Preference for Flavored Spirits

In recent years, flavored spirits have seen an uptick in demand, with spiced rum standing out as a favorite among consumers. Many drinkers, especially younger demographics, are drawn to its unique taste profile and versatility in cocktails. This trend has encouraged major distilleries to introduce new and innovative spiced rum variants to cater to evolving consumer preferences.

2. Premiumization and Craft Offerings

The growing preference for premium alcoholic beverages has driven many distilleries to focus on high-quality spiced rums. Consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for artisanal and craft products that offer distinct flavors, superior ingredients, and unique production methods. Premiumization has led to the emergence of small-batch and limited-edition spiced rums, further boosting market growth.

3. Expanding Cocktail Culture

4. E-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer Sales Growth

The digital transformation of the alcoholic beverage industry has significantly impacted the spiced rum market. The proliferation of online liquor stores and direct-to-consumer sales channels has made it easier for consumers to access a wide range of spiced rums. With many brands leveraging e-commerce platforms for marketing and distribution, online sales are expected to contribute significantly to market expansion.

5. Sustainable and Ethical Production Practices

Consumers are becoming more conscious of sustainability and ethical production practices, prompting spiced rum manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly initiatives.

The Benefits of Using Lead-Free Glasses for a Healthier and Stylish Lifestyle

In today’s health-conscious world, the choices we make about the products we use daily can have a significant impact on our well-being. One such choice is the type of glassware we use for drinking. Lead-free glasses are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Whether you’re sipping juice, water, wine, whisky, or champagne, switching to lead-free glassware can enhance your drinking experience while safeguarding your health. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of using lead-free glasses and why they’re a must-have for every home.

Why Choose Lead-Free Glasses?

Lead-free glasses are made without the addition of lead oxide, a common component in traditional crystal glassware. While leaded glassware is known for its brilliance and weight, it can pose health risks over time, especially when used for acidic beverages like juice or wine. Lead-free alternatives, on the other hand, offer a safer and equally stylish option.

Let’s dive into the benefits of using lead-free glasses and how they can elevate your drinking experience.

Benefits of Lead-Free Glasses

Healthier Choice for Everyday Use Lead-free glasses are free from harmful chemicals, making them a safer option for you and your family. Unlike traditional leaded glassware, they don’t leach toxins into your beverages, ensuring that your juice, water, or wine remains pure and uncontaminated.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Lead-free glassware is often made from environmentally friendly materials, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers. By choosing lead-free glasses, you’re contributing to a greener planet.

Durable and Long-Lasting Lead-free glasses are highly durable and resistant to chipping or cracking. Whether you’re using a whiskey glass set of 6 or a tequila shot glass, you can trust that these glasses will stand the test of time.

Crystal-Clear Clarity Modern lead-free glassware is designed to offer the same brilliance and clarity as traditional crystal glasses. Your champagne glasses or flute glasses will sparkle just as beautifully, enhancing the visual appeal of your drinks.

Safe for All Beverages Lead-free glasses are ideal for all types of drinks, from acidic juices to alcoholic beverages. Whether you’re using a wine glass set of 6 or a scotch glass, you can enjoy your drink without worrying about chemical interactions.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle Unlike heavy leaded glassware, lead-free glasses are lightweight and easy to handle. This makes them perfect for everyday use, whether you’re enjoying a glass of water from your water glass set of 6 or serving tequila in a tequila glass.

Versatile and Stylish Lead-free glassware comes in a wide range of designs, from classic to modern. Whether you’re hosting a formal dinner party or a casual get-together, you’ll find the perfect set to match your style. A liquor glass or whisky glass set of 6 can add a touch of elegance to any occasion.

Easy to Clean and Maintain Lead-free glasses are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for busy households. Say goodbye to tedious hand-washing and hello to hassle-free maintenance.

Affordable Luxury Lead-free glassware offers the same luxurious feel as traditional crystal but at a more affordable price point. You can enjoy the elegance of a juice glasses set of 6 or a champagne glass without breaking the bank.

Perfect for Gifting A set of lead-free glasses makes for a thoughtful and practical gift. Whether it’s a wine glass set of 6 for a wine enthusiast or a tequila shot glass for a cocktail lover, your gift will be both appreciated and used.

How Lead-Free Glasses Enhance Your Drinking Experience

Using lead-free glasses isn’t just about health and safety; it’s also about enhancing your overall drinking experience. Here’s how:

Better Taste: Lead-free glasses don’t interfere with the flavor of your beverages, allowing you to enjoy the true taste of your drink.
