putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

concept: ADA!Chuuya, but All Men Are Equal gave him total control of his ability by stabilizing it and getting rid of his permanent singularity, so he reverted to his original power: enhancing others' abilities.
Bonus:
#for my jokes to work this ability needs to either be always active (like no longer human HA)#or for chuuya to not have full control over it (doesn't really follow all men are equal)#i also think there's a 50/50 chance fukuzawa's ability is made up but that won't stop me from playing in this sandbox#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs#bsd fanart#bsd chuuya#bsd nakahara chuuya#ada!chuuya#ada!skk#armed detective agency#bsd dazai#skk#soukoku#bsd atsushi#bsd yosano#(looks at my collection of ada!chuuya: this bad boy can fit so many aus in him)#SPOILERS OOPS#bsd stormbringer spoilers#bsd storm bringer spoilers#nawy's comics#i have an alternate (less joke-y) vision for how chuuya would take it but it got angsty real quick and i didn't know how to end it#it might appear one day#we'll see#it liked the first part so i might use it on its own anyway#i mean kind of it's still unsure in the end

introducing my Gravity Falls AU i've been working on since August of this year: "Codename: Caged Canary"! 🐤⚠️
(or at least, still working on - i've been busy everywhere else though GDJDB)
AU Synopsis:
"During one of the sea trips, Stanley Pines got a vision / message from The Axolotl about Bill - that he'll be stuck in Stan's Mindscape watching through Stan's eyes and ears for the time being (thankfully powerless) as part of his "Exposure Therapy". As a fair trade, They also decided to transfer Bill's powers onto him for extra protection - although Stan didn't get them until later, which was quite a surprise for everyone involved.
Does Stan know why he's being the test dummy for this whole Exposure Therapy™️ shtick? Does Bill know why The Axolotl suddenly decided to torture him more? Even so, does Ford know why would all of this happen to the three of them now?
The answer to all three: Nope. No direct answer can ever be given by the pink-frilled god, sadly... at least, not yet."
#gravity falls#gravity falls au#codename caged canary au#bill cipher#stanley pines#ford pines#the axolotl#my art#onem talks#wowee zowee would you look at that#i finally made an AU kinda /lhj HDKDH#i even added some exclusive sketches here hehe 👀#however i might as well tell ya'll that there's a 50-50 chance i'd continue to work on this AU -#considering my other recent fixation + my energy in trying to keep up with fandoms/socials and what not hhfd#feel free to ask me questions about this AU if you'd like tho!#maybe then i can further develop this silly thing without feeling indecisive again aaaa /nf /lh

predisasters
#phighting#phighting art#subspace phighting#medkit phighting#art#subspace#medkit#predisaster tag#i think young subspace often gets way too overconfident and there's like a 50/50 chance it'll end weirdly well for him or very badly instea#medkit is the down to earth guy to keep him in check... maybe. if he feels like it#but more often than not he finds more amusement in seeing subspace eat shit. he thinks it's funny#though even when he does try subspace is too stubborn to listen to him. so medkit just leaves him to his luck. they're both terrible#i didn't mean to write so much in the tags sorry i have so many thoughts on them. i'm normal#also i made the 3d model in the top right on the first image i'll post renders soon hehe

Prompt 239
Y'know what I think would be hilarious for a DP and PJO crossover? Percy & co finally getting to Kronos, straight up ready for anything after they pass through magic and portal of green and-
There's the smell of cookies. Freshly baked cookies, a warm oven, something about it reminding them of home in this strange place of floating gears and ticking clocks.
And there's a long, serpentine tail twisting through the gears, twisting up and down and across in a size that could hides yet reveals just how large this entity is. There's power soaking into every inch of this place, every centimeter nearly sending lightning up their legs with each step.
The ticking is getting stronger, a distant gonging of the hour echoing through a place that should feel cold and empty like the ringing of bells in the end of times.
And suddenly there's a kid- a teen like them, human yet not- with a cookie half in their mouth and hair flickering like the cosmos as they peer down from above them with a frown, eyes brighter than the sun yet darker than the moon.
"Oh great, what did my half-siblings do this Time?"
#prompts#dp x pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#danny fenton#clockwork#not ghost king danny#space core danny#All gods of time are part of Clockwork#DPxPJO#Clockwork is the primordial force of Time itself#CW has been waiting for Space to finally form its own Primordial and is cooing over Danny constantly#CW: You end up destroying *One* timeline and the kids who disowned themselves start freaking out#CW: smh at least I have my dear children who actually enjoy my company and baking#Jordan (Armageddon) Ellie (Infinity) Jazz (Mind): I mean what kind of timeline we talkin about#Sun Core Dan#Moon Core Dani#Ocean Core Jazz#Danny to Percy & Co: So there's a 50/50 chance you'll believe me but I feel like there's been some sort of misunderstanding here-

I might continue these posts. I may repost my reading order part 2, and I may start a post on a part 3.
I once mentioned how I had a reading list for Marvel in my phone's notes app. I've tried to sort it by character, and it's mostly just a collection of Marvel Masterworks so far. I'm mostly reading whatever I can find online, of course. (if I can't find a masterwork, I read whatever I can find online). Here's some of it:
Marvel Masterworks: The Fantastic Four Vols 1-19: Everything from issue #1 to issue #218, right before John Byrne starts writing. For me, all this is peak fantastic four. Because as previously noted, I don't think I'd care for John Byrne's run.
Marvel Masterworks: Iron Man Vols 1-12: Everything from the beginnings back in Tales of Suspense, down to Iron Man #112. So everything up to right before the Demon in a Bottle storyline, give or take a few issues.
Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers Vols 1-16 and 18: Everything from Issue #1 up to Issue #163. All of Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart's runs. Then I refuse to read Masterwork 17, because I hate the Korvac saga. So we pick back up for our finale with volume 18 and issues #178-188. Or the issues directly preceding the disastrous issue #200, give or take a bit.
Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men Vols 1-7: All the old stuff. The entire original X-Men stories, from #1 to #66. Plus the solo Beast stories from the 70s, and some other solo or crossover related X-Men stuff. This is the last X-Men thing I'll read, as I hate Chris Claremont's X-Men. Quite a lot.
Marvel Nasterworks: Nick Fury, Agent of Shield Vols 1-3: All Nick Fury's classic spy stories. These seem fun, honestly. I haven't read much spy fiction, but this sure sounds more interesting than Nick Fury's old ww2 stuff.
This is just some of it. If you want me to share more, I can try to. it'll probably be a bit dull to read, but it might be nice to share it.
#marvel#marvel comics#earth 616#marvel universe#reading order#old comics#reading comics#comics#marvel 616#the fantastic four#iron man#fantastic four#the avengers#avengers#the x men#original x men#the beast#nick fury#autism#asd#good chance I'll delete this note from my phone#when the hyperfixation is over#there's like a 50% chance of that

this is one of those fic ideas i wanted to write for every ship i've ever been into so it will probably never happen but i'd like to have a silly story with 40 yo, single, lonely tommy kinard who's been down on his luck all his life - like i'm talking ridiculous levels of mom dying at childbirth, dad being terrible, horrifically unfortunate experience of the military, a series of failed jobs, a series of failed relationships, friendships never sticking for long, risks he takes always going south, somehow getting paper cuts through chainmail gloves, missing the bus while trying to avoid his daily encounter with the neighbor's dog etc. - one day opening the door of his downtrodden studio apartment to this beautiful man who stands there like a fucking angel. who looks at tommy with big apologetic eyes, red cheeks of shame, and twiddling thumbs of guilt and stutters, "so, uhm, i wish you didn't have to learn it this way but hi, i'm the guardian angel who, as it turns out, misplaced your files about four decades ago, and so uhm it just resurfaced, haha, and like yeah, i've been banished here for penance. i'll take the couch, it's fine."
#then it's a series of fortunate events where buck's involvement in tommy's life as his suspended guardian angel/odd roommate#leads to tommy becoming friends with the diaz guy down the hallway#and that gets tommy involved with the 118 and him deciding to leave his temp job to become a firefighter like he wanted all those years ago#but couldnt risk with how accident-prone he was#him becoming friends with hen leads to him getting more confident in his queer identity#he takes eddie's son to a shelter one day and tommy adopts a dog who adds life and love into his house#and during all this buck is not even powered he's not doing anything special to make up for what he fucked up he's just being buck#he creates a family out of strangers for tommy and he motivates him into taking chances on a new job and he places new plants#on his windowsills and he attempts to cook human food and makes tommy laugh sooo hard at some of his original recipes#and tommy gets to love life and himself along with falling in love with this guy who he's 50/50 on whether he's a real angel or a madman#at the end when the heaven tells buck he repent his mistakes and he can come back#buck chooses to stay with tommy on earth and become a mortal for him#the end#bucktommy#911#mimi.txt#my fic

Horror's nightmare
Horror doesn't think much on his past anymore, but his nightmares often resurface the guilt he's buried about the idea that he could have prevented it all somehow, even if it came at the cost of his own life.
Thankfully, Nightmare is here to make him a hot drink to calm his nerves and promise him a visit to his brother when the sun is up, because Papyrus will always be very glad to see his brother alive and visiting (and as sleepy as ever).
#UTDR#UTMV#Horror Sans#Nightmare Sans#My Art#Truce au#Bad dreams comic#Just when you thought you were safe from my 50 ongoing art projects I remember to finish another one >:3c#I had a lot of fun with this one! Despite how kind of grim it is#It gave me a chance to play with different brushes and work with colours and such which is cool :D#Anyway yeah Horror likes to think he's at peace with his past#Especially considering who he lives with - he's probably the least haunted of the 4#But there is always a nagging thought in the back of his mind that he is in some way responsible#If not for breaking the core and more or less killing the scientist trying to fix it#(Even though it was at least partly justified since they tried to kill him first)#Then for letting the human go by with lvl in the first place knowing that they would end up killing Asgore in the end#Even if he couldn't have possibly known how bad things would get as a result#Also!! In case you're wondering Monster Kid and the dog are in the start because it's a dream#In his mind he always remembers horrortale before it started falling apart and losing people#And now... (turns my terrible little eyes upon Cross)

I've learned how to do lineart, and the colour green no longer terrifies me so I'll only take another half a year to figure out how to shade this drawing for Mereel & Family Booksellers chapter 2 by @sidhebeingbrand and @toughbreaks :D
#I'm only mildly annoyed that I'm 3.5/4 with managing to draw Cody to my absolute liking#while there is ALWAYS a 50-50 chance at least that Boba will turn out just a little OFF TT^TT#anyways HELLO I've terribly missed this story and this ship!#bobadin#boba fett#din djarin#jaster mereel#the mandalorian fanart#star wars fanart#commander cody#grogu#changeling au#my art#I'd really like a room like this... but I shouldn't be trusted with more plants than what I already try to keep alive#I have about 6 lineart layer I don't know how I'll manage here in the future XD#I'm surprised how fond I am of Cody here#wip wednesday

i see A LOT of sad chilshi posts about how ohh senshi will live so much longer than chilchuck!! it's gonna be so sad. YOU'RE WRONG. (unless the wiki is wrong hacks coughs). CHILCHUCK IS 28. GIVING HIM AROUND 20-25 MORE YEARS SENSHI IS 112. In chapter 51, it's said dwarves live 2.5x longer than tallmen, and tallmen live for ~60 years. This means dwarves live for around 150 years. AT MOST. ON AVERAGE. SENSHI WOULD LIVE FOR 13-18 YEARS WITHOUT CHILCHUCK. In my opinion at least, that really isn't all that long (at least not for senshi)
#we have no clue how long they'll actually live this is just averages#i get everyone wants a little angst BUT CMON NOW#senshi would be sad for a little while but it's not like they don't grow old together#dungeon meshi#chilshi#let my old men be happy for once#also there's a chance chil could live a lot longer than 50 (to be fair that means senshi could also probably live a lot longer)#my point is i feel like their deaths really wouldn't be that far off from each other#under certain circumstances#chil might actually live longer than senshi

shoutout to Neopets for having no consistency with how they handle families re: species
like imagine you're Sophie's mom here and you're ready for your first kid to be a kangaroo thing like yourself or a dragon like your husband and instead it's a dog. And you're like "okay the next one will be a kangaroo thing or a dragon" but no it's a wolf. And THEN you're like "okay it's canines. we have this figured out it's always gonna be canines" and then you have another kid and it's a goat
#neopets#neotag#sophie#tale of woe#outdesign posts things#don't let me start TOW posting or I'll never shut up#side headcanon while I'm here: neopet reproduction is messed up due to magic#so while offspring will usually take after one of their parents there's always like a 10% chance that they'll just be a random species#but in places with high magic that number can go over 50%#so in this case neovia is crossed by two of the most powerful magic laylines in neopia so it's very common to see mixed species families#neopian geneticists are in shambles
