A Guide to Different Types of Drinkware for Restaurants, Bars, & More

Drinks are an essential part of any dining experience. Be it a casual meal at a restaurant or a fancy cocktail party; a great drink in the right kind of glassware can enhance the overall experience. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right kind of drinkware.

In this blog post, we will discuss different types of drinkware for restaurants, bars, and other establishments, helping you make informed decisions and enhance the drinking experience for your customers.

Glassware

Glassware is a classic choice for serving a wide range of beverages, including water, juice, beer, and cocktails. Different types of glasses are designed to enhance the aroma and taste of the drink. Here are some popular types of glassware:

Wine Glasses

Wine glasses come in different shapes and sizes, but the most common types are red wine glasses, white wine glasses, and champagne flutes. Red wine glasses have a wider bowl to allow the wine to breathe, while white wine glasses have a smaller bowl to maintain the cooler temperature of the wine. Champagne flutes have a narrow shape to preserve the bubbles and enhance the aroma.

Beer Glasses

Beer glasses come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the type of beer. For example, pint glasses are perfect for serving ales and lagers, while pilsner glasses are ideal for serving light beers. Tulip glasses are popular for serving Belgian ales and IPAs, while steins are perfect for serving German beers.

Cocktail Glasses

Cocktail glasses are perfect for serving mixed drinks and are available in different shapes and sizes. Martini glasses are popular for serving martinis and other cocktails, while highball glasses are perfect for serving drinks with ice. Coupe glasses are ideal for serving drinks that require shaking, such as daiquiris and margaritas.

Plastic Drinkware

Plastic drinkware is a popular choice for outdoor events and poolside bars. It is lightweight, durable, and unbreakable, making it a safe choice for serving drinks in areas where glassware may not be practical. Here are some popular types of plastic drinkware:

Plastic Cups

Plastic cups are a versatile choice for serving a wide range of beverages, including water, soda, and mixed drinks. They come in different sizes and colors and are a popular choice for outdoor events.

Tumblers

Tumblers are a popular choice for serving iced tea, lemonade, and other cold beverages. They are durable and available in different sizes and designs.

Margarita Glasses

Margarita glasses are a popular choice for serving margaritas and other frozen drinks. They are available in different sizes and colors and are perfect for outdoor parties.

Metal Drinkware

Metal drinkware is a popular choice for serving drinks that require chilling, such as beer and cocktails. It is also a durable and elegant choice for bars and restaurants. Here are some popular types of metal drinkware:

Copper Mugs

Copper mugs are a popular choice for serving Moscow Mules and other cocktails. They are durable and keep drinks cold for a long time, making them perfect for summer parties.

Stainless Steel Tumblers

Stainless steel tumblers are a popular choice for serving iced drinks and cocktails. They are durable and easy to clean, making them a popular choice for bars and restaurants.

Beer Steins

Beer steins are a popular choice for serving German beers. They are made of metal or ceramic and have a lid to keep the beer cold and prevent spillage.

One Week to Wow Me

I may add to this later, but feel free to use as a prompt if you want!

Synopsis: Villain makes a surprise confession and Hero makes a surprising offer.

The Hero had been at it long enough that not much surprised them anymore. They’ve seen everything — Villains who helped grandmas across the street they just demolished, villains who bombed pet store company for not stocking the right fish food, villains who really just wanted to use the city as witnesses to their lethal science fair projects.

They have not had a villain confess their love before, though. That was new.

“Say that again?” the hero said. “Sorry, I just wanna make sure I heard you right.”

“Which part did you miss? The I, the love or the you?” The villain asked, wiping blood from their mouth with the back of their hand. “I’m in love with you. Against all odds and my better judgment. Believe me, I would not be like this if I had any choice. But I can’t seem to shake you off.”

In any other situation, such a confession would set off Hero’s bullshit meter. If Hero had the villain on their knees, ready for arrest, or if Hero was chained up in the villain’s lair, ready for torture, such a confession would look as nothing more than a ploy to get under Hero’s defenses.

But tonight their fight had been evenly matched — annoyingly so. Hero was no closer to getting them arrested as they were for incapacitating Hero themselves. So advantage was gained from this, save for pausing a battle neither of them were close to winning anyway.

“Why are you telling me this?” Hero asked. They kept their arms loose at their sides, but balanced on the balls of their feet. Ready.

The Villain shrugged. “I couldn’t hold it in anymore. It feels good to get it out.”

“And you want me to be with you?”

“ . . . .That would be ideal, yes.” they said with a lilt of irony.

The Hero considered them. Weighed options. Tried to predict all the horrible ways this could go. And then threw all caution to the wind.

“Okay,” they said.

The villain’s head tilted, slowly. Dangerously.

“Okay?” they repeated, stunned.

“Yeah, which part did you miss? The O or the kay?”

“You’re going to date me?”

The look of sheer disbelief on the villain’s face would be hilarious if it wasn’t so heart-breaking.

“You have a month,” the hero clarified. “To woo me, to wow me. To make this insane idea worth my while.” They jabbed a finger at the villain. “And you can’t pull any of your shit during it either. I’m not dating you and fighting you at the same time . . .as appealing as that thought can be.”

The villain swallowed. The Hero had never seen them so scared before. The villain’s face stayed their usual stoic mask, but their eyes leaked fear.

“What’s the catch?”

“Catch? That’s your forte, not mine, Counselor.”

“There has to be some kind of parameters around this.”

Hero grinned. “You evil lawyers do love your rules, don’t you?”

The Villain looked a little pained.

“Well here’s a rule then — I hate seafood.”

“That’s not a rule, that’s a preference.”

The Hero rolled their eyes. “Okay, okay. Don’t take me to any seafood restaurants. There’s your rule -- happy?”

The Villain stepped closer to them, until they were close enough for their hand to reach out and skate a knuckle down the hero’s jawline.

“You have no idea.”

Susie (New Meat Pt. 2)

Pairing: Mike Schmidt x Security!Reader

Warnings: nightmares, trauma, ptsd, child death mentioned, dark dark shit, sh mentioned, non-sh scars mentioned, animal death mentioned, more-so based off movie, some game based stuff in it

Words: 1630

Summary: You introduce Mike and Abby to the gang.

New Meat

You knew you were asleep. Aware that this was all a dream. That didn't prevent you from being utterly terrified in that moment. Every joint was locked in place, unyielding. You'd been doing so well too since you started getting regular sleep. Well, make that two nights worth of sleep but that was still a big deal for you!

A little girl with pigtails is drawing on the sidewalk, chalk in hand. You sit across from her, warmth of the sun on your back as you focus on your own chalksterpiece. Susie's tiny chihuahua dog is relaxed on the front lawn. Yet the moment Carl heard anything he would jump to his feet and start barking.

Simpler times that you craved to go back to. Before you learned what murder was.

From the kitchen window, your mom calls for you. When you turn back around to face Susie, in her place is Chica. You knew the red stains along the seams of her metal suit wasn't rust. It was blood.

Clanking down on hands and knees, Chica scrapes along the sidewalk over to you. A hand held out imploringly for you to take. But you were scared. Scared of this thing. Where was your friend? Where was Susie?

They never found her body- that's what the adults whispered when they thought you weren't paying attention. Susie's parents were besides themselves.

When its beak opens, only a shriek emerges; nothing to denote that any part of it had ever been human.

Having techniques for when such nightmares plague your sleep (which was often), you're able to pull yourself out of the nightmare; eyes opening wildly in the real world.

Your small studio was quiet save for the occasional sounds coming from outside. Checking the clock verified that you were up way too early. Work wouldn't be for another five hours. You'd only gotten three hours of sleep.

Unable to remain in your bed, you decide to throw on your street clothes, microwave some breakfast burritos and head to Freddy's. Just to check in on Mike. You wouldn't acknowledge to even yourself that it was because you were too scared to go back to bed.

From his disheveled appearance, you can tell Mike had been dozing on the job. You'd wait to scold him later. Instead you hold up the plastic container you put the burritos in. "Thought you could use some company."

His brows crease like he knew that wasn't the real reason you were here. Mike didn't ask any questions and just let you in.

"How's your third night treating you?" You easily make a beeline for the security room (checking the halls as you did so). Safely inside the musky room, you claim your usual chair and place your food container on the desk. To your surprise in the security room a makeshift fort had been erected. From inside you could see a small girl staring back at you. You stop dead in your tracks.

"Please don't tell Mr. Raglan." Mike quickly explained his situation with his usual babysitter. With a hand he implores his sister to come out so she could properly meet you.

Abby crawls out from her tent and shyly rushes over to her brother.

"Nice to meet you Abby. Had I known you'd be here I would have brought another burrito." You chuckle, holding your hand out to her.

"Mike's not gonna get in more trouble, is he?" Abby regards your hand with distant curiosity. Her big, brown eyes immediately endeared her to you.

When you'd clocked in for your day shift, you'd opened up the restaurant to find a complete mess. Vandalized. You had Vanessa on speed dial and she was quick to drive her patrol car over. Accusingly, neither of you could help but glance over at the animatronic gang who innocently kicked at the rubble without any explanations.

"I'm really sorry about this morning. I could have sworn I locked everything up when my shift ended." Mike is starting to blabber about Vanessa showing up at his place to inform him of the break in. How she'd found a bottle of his sleeping medication at the scene of the crime. Well, Carl found it and nearly swallowed the bottle whole had you not bravely held open his mouth while Vanessa reached her arm in to grab it.

"What's done is done." You shrug. "At least cleaning up gave me something to do." Whatever happened to the vandals, the animatronics obviously took care of them.

Mike's gawking at you; did Vanessa chew him out that badly? Must have since he was shocked to see how calmly you were receiving the news. Even Abby remained apprehensive, waiting for your cool demeanor to crack.

To break the tension you release an airy laugh. "Relax. You're not gonna get fired from that. Sucked that it happened, but it's something that eventually does and you have to learn from it. That's all. Now, are you guys hungry? Abby can have my burrito."

Abby's still gazing at you, as if she wasn't sure of what to make of you yet. No, like she's reading you.

"You know them." She tilts her head up to stare at you.

Mike seems more disturbed by this than you do. His brows are pinched in distress. "Who does she know?"

An iciness runs up the rod of your spine.

She smiles. "My friends."

You wish you could keep a calm composure but your gut feeling was telling you who she was talking about. Your eyes widen and a small smile curls against your lips. If their spirit have been contacting her. . .

"You wanna go say hi?"

Mike is still standing in the middle of the party room, frozen to the spot as you introduce Abby to the gang. He'd never seen Abby so happy. Not in a long time has she smiled so big and bright that she looks like a completely different kid. He wished he could will his legs to start moving so he could stand next to you. But Mike just couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Bonnie keeps an attentive eye on Mike. Untrusting of this boy who walked around in a similar security guard uniform.

You pat his arm, drawing his red eyes over to you. "He's a friend." Bonnie was always the most wary of the animatronic ghosts. While he doesn't seem quite as convinced, at least Bonnie moves his gaze away from Mike and back to Abby who is promptly drawing pictures for everyone.

"Chica says you're her best friend." Abby comments, her focus trained on her notepad. "That the two of you played together all the time."

"We still play together all the time." You correct and Chica lifts her large yellow head. Even after all those years you still didn't quite know how to address her. Sometimes you interchange the names. You'll call her Susie one minute then Chica the next.

From one of the skeeball games, you pick up a ball and weigh it in your hands. From his perch on Chica's hand, Carl Cupcake stirs at the sight of you holding a ball. If he still had a tail, it would have been going a hundred miles a minute.

You hand it to Abby and explain to her "Carl likes to play fetch."

"The cupcake?"

You nod and look up to Chica. "Why don't you guys take her to the arcade? Show her your favorite games." In her own way, Chica smiles at you though others wouldn't be able to view it as such.

Freddy takes Abby by the hand and they lead her away from the main party room to give you and Mike some privacy.

"Suppose I should explain?"

"An explanation would be appreciated." He mumbles and both of you sit at a dusty booth. "What the hell is going on?"

"Vanessa told you about the kids that went missing in the 80's here." Your hands run along the length of the table. Remembering back to a time that seemed so long ago. "Well, one of them was my friend Susie. Their spirits inhabit the animatronics."

Mike's fingers are tented, trying to absorb what you tell him. "Their spirits. So they were-"

"Murdered." You finish and catch his eyes. Such tired eyes. But they had been like that even on his first day. The sleeping medication found at Freddy's told you enough about his disturbing sleep patterns. "Most likely here too. Susie was my next door neighbor growing up. We played all the time and she was my best friend. I still remember going to her wake. No bodies were ever recovered but her parents still held a funeral service for her."

"Jesus Christ. . . and I brought Abby here. . ." Mike groans and rubs over his temples with his fingers.

"You couldn't very well leave her alone at home." Wanting to smooth away the worry that was etching across his face. Your gaze roves over to where the animatronics had left with Abby. Overall they were docile. Only once in a blue moon did they show a type of aggressiveness toward you. Like they forgot who they were at their center.

Unconsciously you push your fingers past your sleeve to feel the multitude of scars that crisscrossed the soft side of your forearm. Many of them were caused by your own hand. But the biggest and most jagged of them was courtesy of Bonnie. Uneasiness begins to gnaw at you the more you think about Abby alone with them. While they may have been gentle a majority of the time, anything could happen where they could snap and attack her.

Not wanting to alarm Mike, you calmly stand and motion with your head. "Lets go see what they're up to."

ooo can you write some HCs for osamu please

Osamu headcanons

warnings// angstly ngl, talks of anger, feeling worth less

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i completed headcanon that he completely broke down when he told atsumu he wouldn't be going to college for volleyball

he was planning on never telling him but mama miya held him while he told atsumu

it was one of the hardest moments for him and he will never admit it to anyone but he cuddled atsumu as they cried in each others arms that night

OSAMU IS A BIG CUDDLER (he will never admit it tho)

His brother's opinion is very important to him

While in highschool he was often in Atsumu's shadow but it lead him to be a lot closer to his mom

This is where his cooking passion began

Mama miya would comfort him when he came home distressed from no one noticing him, and to take his mind of it she began baking with him

noticing baking was not his forte the two moved on to cooking

everyday in highschool osamu would make a bento for atsumu because seeing his face light up from the delicious food made his day

one day in highschool he made a girl chocolates to confess his love but she turned him down because she liked atsumu

so to this day he's slightly on edge that people only get close to him to get to atsumu

For his 25th birthday he went to go purchase the space where he would have Onigiri Miya, but panicked because he found out someone already bought it

that night on the way home to celebrate he got a call to meet atsumu

Atsumu covered Osamu's eyes a brought him to the door of what will be Onigiri Miya

The Miyas bought the space for Osamu to start his business, and they bought the apartment above the restaurant so he could live close by

Osamu first met you when you and your friends came in to watch the MSBY game at Onigiri Miya

He pretended he didn't have any feelings for the mysterious customer, but then you showed up more and more and he couldn't help but replace who was at the register when you were there and he also wanted to make sure you were getting food made specifically by him

Atsumu of course knew about his brother infatuation so he decided he would solve the problem himself

safe to say that both brothers learned that day that you do not trust Miya Atsumu

to be fair Atsumu was lowkey rizzing you up (because ofc he would) and you pushed him away and called the other Miya to take care of his brother

later that evening when Osamu was beginning to clean the restaurant up for the night he made sure to stop by your table and apologize for his brother

of course you said everything was okay but Osamu couldn't help, but be his curious self and wonder why you turned him down

i mean thats the first time he's seen a girl do that

"Osamu, you know why i come in here all the time. It's not cause the food is amazing, thats just a plus,"

"Well i thought you were coming in to get close to Atsumu-," He heard you giggle.

"no silly. I come here all the time to see you...i'm y/n"

"i know"

"ofc you do," you giggled again

certified lover boy™

i don't think i need to go into much detail about how good of a boyfriend Osamu is

But one time you made him sweets and you discovered that osamu miya LOVES sweets

his face gets all red and he's so content with life

you joked on time that he's only looking for a girl that will be like his mother and bro got really offended i mean like one time yall were cuddling and he began falling asleep and immediately stopped himself cuz he didn't want you to make a freud joke

safe to say he will always be a mama's boy. When his mom got older and needed personal care he made sure to have a place in his house for her

He wants a big family. He's always wanted his own kids so when he found out you were pregnant he was praying for triplets like a mad man

he doesn't let you do anything while your pregnant

lowkey got jealous of his own kids because you were cuddling them more then him

HE LOVES BLUEY (hes on the bluey agenda ofc)

when Osamu gets mad he gets mad. The first time you witnessed it you got really scared but your like the black widow to his hulk. You always take him away for the issue and calm him down

#haikyuu #haikyuu x reader #haikyuu!!#haikyuu fluff #atsumu miya #miya osamu #osamu headcanons #osamu imagine #miya osamu x reader #osamu x reader #osamu miya #osamu fluff

“A recent Goldman Sachs study found that generative AI tools could, in fact, impact 300 million full-time jobs worldwide, which could lead to a ‘significant disruption’ in the job market.”

“Insider talked to experts and conducted research to compile a list of jobs that are at highest-risk for replacement by AI.”

Tech jobs (Coders, computer programmers, software engineers, data analysts)

Media jobs (advertising, content creation, technical writing, journalism)

Legal industry jobs (paralegals, legal assistants)

Market research analysts

Teachers

Finance jobs (Financial analysts, personal financial advisors)

Traders (stock markets)

Graphic designers

Accountants

Customer service agents

"’We have to think about these things as productivity enhancing tools, as opposed to complete replacements,’ Anu Madgavkar, a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, said.”

What will be eliminated from all of these industries is the ENTRY LEVEL JOB. You know, the jobs where newcomers gain valuable real-world experience and build their resumes? The jobs where you’re supposed to get your 1-2 years of experience before moving up to the big leagues (which remain inaccessible to applicants without the necessary experience, which they can no longer get, because so-called “low level” tasks will be completed by AI).

There’s more...

Wendy’s to test AI chatbot that takes your drive-thru order

“Wendy’s is not entirely a pioneer in this arena. Last year, McDonald’s opened a fully automated restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas, and deployed more AI-operated drive-thrus around the country.”

BT to cut 55,000 jobs with up to a fifth replaced by AI

“Chief executive Philip Jansen said ‘generative AI’ tools such as ChatGPT - which can write essays, scripts, poems, and solve computer coding in a human-like way - ‘gives us confidence we can go even further’.”

Why promoting AI is actually hurting accounting

“Accounting firms have bought into the AI hype and slowed their investment in personnel, believing they can rely more on machines and less on people.“

Will AI Replace Software Engineers?

“The truth is that AI is unlikely to replace high-value software engineers who build complex and innovative software. However, it could replace some low-value developers who build simple and repetitive software.”

#fuck AI #regulate AI #AI must be regulated #because corporations can't be trusted #because they are driven by greed #because when they say 'increased productivity' what they actually mean is increased profits - for the execs and shareholders not the workers #because when they say that AI should be used as a tool to support workers - what they really mean is eliminate entry level jobs #WGA strike 2023 #i stand with the WGA

im moving to dfw from seattle this summer. impart your wisdom, if you would

It ROCKS to live in a real city. The factory in deep ellum in Dallas is a lovely little music venue. Denton’s a college town so it has a killer music scene. Bishop arts district was lovely when I was a kid idk how it looks in the last decade tho. Whataburger is Fine but the important thing is it’s open at 2 am when you’re drunk. The Fort Worth zoo is better than the Dallas zoo and it’s one of the best in the country. Carshon’s is an awesome Jewish cash only deli over by the zoo. Dallas has the biggest and first half price books store and across the street is a little family owned German restaurant where they play accordion on Friday/sat nights. I never kicked around in Dallas too much but Fort Worth has a pretty robust museum district. The Amon carter ROCKS it’s a free art museum with a bunch of classical exhibits and you only have to pay if you want to see some specific temporary installation. I saw Judith slaying holofernes there (not there anymore) it fucking rocks. Honestly I don’t find the stockyards that impressive I would just spend the $12 bucks on the cowgirl museum or some other western museum there are plenty. The perot is awesome and in Dallas. The stock show is fine it’s like any other little fair/carnival. Good way to kill a weekend if you need to kill a weekend. The state fair is crazy go see that thing. Oh there’s a beautiful on the water sculpture let me find it hold on. The fair park lagoon.

It of course goes without saying that you can’t throw a rock without hitting a restaurant that’ll blow your dick off. Ummmm. If you’re driving in Dallas. Stay safe out there. Anecdotally I’ve seen more drivers weave like assholes in the pnw but Dallas is sometimes a 90 mph minimum in the right lane kind of situation. BUGS ARE REAL ! You will hear cicadas for the first time in your life it’s a beautiful summer experience. Skeeter spray a must if you’re outside after like 5pm. There’ll be like PSAs on billboards or mailing adverts about How To Prevent Mosquitoes. Basically don’t have any standing water in your yard and you’re good. House geckos :-). If you’re in the city you don’t have to worry about ticks or snakes but they do exist and are something to be wary of if you’re ever called to tromp through the woods. You are going to find summers unbearable. Everybody’s gonna have AC you’ll be fine inside but you are going to complain about triple degree summers and how you can’t go outside. Nothing to do about that one except carry around 64 oz ice water to drink and pour on your head. Liquor laws are stricter which means no hard alcohol in gas stations / convenience stores / grocery stores you have to go to a liquor store. Also you can’t buy alcohol before noon on Sunday. Oh my god. The sun. You’re going to see the sun soooooo much. And there’ll be thunderstorms! Also Dallas Fort Worth Are two different cities 45 minutes apart that you have to drive through Other real cities to get to each other through. Seattle on the left DFW on the right. For comparison.

Also like. You know how the i5 corridor is like. Okay I’m driving through the woods for 3 hours and seeing a town every hour I can get gas 10 exits from now. Highways in texas between Dallas and Fort Worth are like ok I’m driving past flat yellow field and there’s a gas station at every exit for the next 30 exits. Different if you leave DFW! You can get empty field stretches coming in and out of houston and on your way to west texas and pretty much any drive longer than an hour that’s not. Straight from Dallas to Fort Worth. I loveeee the local public radio station. KXT I still listen to it in my car daily. Um. That’s my list of #cultural differences. And places to go 👍

#anonymous #ask

“When’s the last time you spoke to Julie? Or that mechanic boy, Danny?”

—asks her mother.

Emily D.J. was always the more introspective one when it came to her friendships, and Morgan doesn’t know whether or not she likes that she’s that way.

After all, having a contemptuous relationship with your mother burns more than just the one bridge.

“Not sure.” Morgan answers, poking around broccoli and carrots with her fork, pushing them into the mashed potatoes. For a brief second, her eyes flicker over to her father—his reading glasses are perched on his nose bridge, his attention drawn into the newspaper in his hands.

Jesus.

She looks outside the restaurant’s glass window, watching the bustling crowd in the late afternoon, beyond her reflection. She hasn’t been to Texas in a while, where her parents have now considered it home. They cemented their livelihoods in Fort Worth. Morgan didn’t—she preferred the nuisance of San Francisco, over anything else.

“Lot’sa opportunities happening up there,” her mother continues. “Maybe come back to Texas for a bit. Find some work to put yourself out there before you graduate.”

OPM Manga Update 228 Review: Horse-Trading

Introduction

HUZZAH! The Psychic Sisters Arc is over at last! It started well, it ended well, but there's only so long I can give a shit about Tatsumaki throwing a tantrum and throwing Saitama through things.

Story

Eh, let's make it short and sweet. The chapter deals with the immediate aftermath of Tatsumaki's tantrum through to the next day or two as the fallout looks set to begin in earnest. Along the way, a few sharp deals are struck.

Meta: Ho ho ho

Blackmailers Anonymous

Something I was very glad to see changed for the Blizzard Group in this arc was them being largely hapless. Earlier, we saw Eyelashes, Mountain Ape, Lily, and a few others valiantly try fighting to prevent Apollo from leaving with Fubuki and Tatsumaki. Amidst the air of general discouragement, Eyelashes leads the surviving group to follow Fubuki with purpose, and they don't back down even faced with Tatsumaki. This chapter, we see yet another Blizzard Group member, an as-yet unnamed guy with a distinctive mohawk, show another talent: hacking. Neither he nor Fubuki are slow on the uptake as to what

Thanks to a little negotiating, Fubuki is able to persuade McCoy to concoct a monster attack to explain away the damage to the Hero Association building, Tatsumaki obliges by scattering the monster parts outside -- and coincidentally smuggles Psykos out in the process.

Tatsumaki brazenly insists on being the one to apprehend the escaped Psykos, leveraging her knowledge that the executives didn't want their cover up blown.

However...

If McCoy is smiling, that's because as far as he's concerned, what Tatsumaki and Fubuki have been up to are amateur hours in the damaging information game. He's happy for them to run their hustle for now.

If the Psychic sisters were more astute, they'd be worrying about the operations chief being more amused than annoyed, but they're amateurs.

Speaking of amateurs, let's spare a moment to look at Gearsper. Lots of people have been giving him the side eye for insisting that Tsukoyomi couldn't possibly be real. We do think the gentleman protests too strenously, but what his angle is remains to be seen.

Enlightented Self-Interest Is Next To Altruism

It's official -- I am never getting over how bottle-blonde baby Forte is. No wonder he goes around with hat and sunglasses: he looks too young to be out unsupervised.

He wisely apologises to Saitama and tells the others that it's in their best interests to ensure that they stay on Saitama's good side. Oh, and feed his pets already. Good -- that's the third day of no food, water, or shelter that Rover and Black Sperm were looking forward to.

That said, there is a very strange translation choice in what Forte says, at least as translated by the fan group. Google Translate and individuals insist that what Forte offers to Saitama (other than his old clothes) is a visit to a restaurant that does delicious food and Saitama crying off sick. It has been translated as Forte offering to go clothes shopping with Saitama and Saitama being creeped out.

I'm waiting for Viz to translate, and if it doesn't agree, believe me, I'm asking questions.

Also acting with enlightened self-interest is Saitama, who asks Genos not to report Tatsumaki on the basis that she deserves her time in the limelight. Of course, we're aware that behind his apparent generosity of spirit is the awareness that shared credit means shared blame.

And a billion yen's worth of blame is really too much for one poor-ass hero.

The Chickenheads Come Home to Roost

Despite everything, the good ship Titanic (um, I mean the Hero Association) seems to have weathered the storm. The public, and their rich donors, are back onside having been reassured that the disturbance was just terrible monsters and all is well.

Well.

With that terrible security of the Hero Association's, it's not been hard for Child Emperor to find out the truth of what was actually going on. To say that he's not impressed is an understatement. All is forgiven, Phoenixman!

The only questions are: 1) How far has he dug? 2) How much damage will he cause?

Speaking of callbacks, remember way back when an inoffensive monster pangolin was systematically skinned alive for its scales until it bloomed into a highly-dangerous demon-level monster? Metal Knight looked cynically on the whole affair.

It looks like selling monsters on the black market is much more widespread than we initially thought. Fubuki having evidence of McCoy personally looking to enrich himself was very unedifying. And he's not the only one. However, that's not the worst of it.

Never mind the personal profit motive -- if they're lucky, the monsters are just going to wealthy individuals keen to have the most exotic pets ever.

If they're unlucky, there's outfits who have plans to use monsters to make weapons. I don't need the webcomic to point that out:

Maybe Drive Knight is ethical and above board (cynical laugh), but some of the outfits developing those weapons could be intending to use them against the Hero Association.

#OPM #review #update 228 #I hope future chapters are also interesting!#Finally some developments #I love the heroes in the manga being so much more switched on and ready to seek personal advantage #it makes everything more interesting #and sharper -- you never know where developments might come from
