#also WATER!!

[effervescentdragon]

I was not expecting this evening to be a drop into Akiras ask night but ✨here we are✨. I blame the heatwave, it calls to me. The beer gardens lure me in with their siren song. How can I refuse?

I am once again writing you from the back of a taxi. At a slightly more reasonable hour this time. Downside - no hot doctor sons being shown to me. Boo! Taxi driver did give me a bottle of water though so I am hydrating!

We played giant Jenga in the beer garden we were at for a bit and I might have gotten a tiny bit too competitive, and now I have a bruised thigh and have been banned from giant games with the group now …. Jenga pieces may have been thrown

It turns out they also all vividly remember my ‘stache PowerPoint and have apparently seen a new side of me because of “the comments I made about that racing guys necklace” last weekend. So I’m now looking for a new friend group please! 😳 Any applicants please get in touch!

Also, I need to confess, I’m still thinking about your Montreal date fic sequel. It is SO good. Not to repeat what I’ve already told you but I’m actually insane about it. I want to climb inside your brain and just admire all your ideas and your way with words…... Or something that sounds a bit less creepy. Oh god 😹 What I’m trying to say is that I’m in awe of your talent!

Anywayyyyyy I am home now, and the dog is not happy that he does not have my undivided attention, true lord behaviour from him, and I really should get to bed. So goodnight and ily! 🖤

Good mornong Dee my darling, and all my love to drunk!Dee! This is your obligatory reminder to drink water 💖

I have my coffee and I held off last night so as not to read this and to give myself delight in the morning, and boy, is it a delight! The lure of the beer gardens in the heat should never be ignored, especially if you have a wonderful time, like it sounds you did! No hot doctors 😿 yes bottles of water 😻

Oh god, being banned from group games bcs you're too competitive, that.. rings a bell. So did I evetlr tell you how i got banned from playing Pandemic because i got too competitive, even though its a game where you play against the game? I may have skewered the rules and as a consequence, a board was thrown, we brought out immunology textbooks and ended up fighting about cholera. Fun times 😹 also. Listen. The ppt was AMAZING and Pierres necklace DOES bring out a new person out of all of us. Youre completely valid in this. Show your friends some more cross pictures and see them discover sth in themselves 😳 you're just ahead of the curve, friend 💖💖

I am so, so glad you liked it. I dedicated it to you (and my dearest Stormy) because your comments, so well thought out and so emotional, just make me so happy. I do feel like i should apologize to your laptop for all the slams i've induced 😹 sorry, laptop. i cant help it 🙈 i dont think its creepy. come root in my brain anytime, see if something shakes loose 😽💖

Give the doggo all my love, and have a wonderful tgif! Love love love 💖💖

#dee gets all the rights #dee tag <3 #these are always a blast and i love that you tell me these things #akira answers asks #tmdf sequel hell #also WATER!! #🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

#misc #I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to. #also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped #it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially #the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm #which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water #as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun #it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here #I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances #also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential #so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export #but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

#also: drinking A Soda or A Coffee isn't going to completely dehydrate you if you're drinking other fluids tbqh!!! #its fine!!!!! its fine!!!!! #drinks #heat #dehydration #this post exists because i'm mad at misinfo but also #this is for my homies who hate the taste of water and struggle to stay hydrated #because people have told them over and over again You Must Absolute Drink Water And Nothing Else and so they just don't drink anything #listen!! hey!!! whoever told you that was lying!!!! #drinking Any Fluids At All (yes even with caffeine!!) is better than Not Drinking Anything #please hydrate!!!! it's okay if that hydration isn't water!!!! #honestly i tried to be extremely non confrontational in this post but im pretty sure i've seen people suggest flavored water packets #but say no fruit juice ever. and that's insane. #it's all fluids baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #so long as you are drinking fluids you are combatting dehydration #YES water is the best option HOWEVER. if you drink things that aren't water that's also okay! i promise!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry if I was in any version of the pjo universe I would’ve clocked that Percy was the son of Poseidon as soon as the bathroom incident occurred. Tf you mean “I wonder who your dad is” he EXPLODED A TOILET. Chiron this is the second water incident you have witnessed how are you still confused

#percy jackson series #pjo #percy jackson books #percy jackson #chiron #I’m vaguely joking here #but also…. #if you know this kid has a god as a father #and he has used water to attack #and has remained dry afterwards #I feel like I would’ve gotten it by that point

End ID

OK OK OK I know everyone is all over sleeveless turtleneck Crowley, but for the love of God I cannot get this out of my head

(Leaves room to headcannon that he wore this after things started going to shit so that he could get his wings out more easily)

#backless turtleneck crowley #he also wore it in the 60s #aka when he was planning to steal holy water #its his “i'll fuck you up if i have to” shirt #crowley #goodomens #aziraphale #good omens #ineffable husbands #good omens 2 #good omens season 2 #aziracrow #turtleneck crowley

I saw one scruffy older Cora-san design and had to draw my take on it immediately, with a bonus Law to fill space.

You can say a lot of things about One Piece Odyssey, but it did give us a Law & Cora tag-team fight in which Law shambled to the location of Cora's bullets and that is just objectively cool.

#one piece #trafalgar law #trafalgar d. water law #donquixote rosinante #my art #one piece height differences are a wild time #I also gave everyone eyebrows because I can't believe Oda keeps robbing his characters of them #I also gave Cora only a feather collar because I did not want to draw an entire feather cloak #first ever cora I have drawn and he isn't even on model #that feels about right for me

honestly no wonder harrow forced ianthe to lobotomize her so she could save gideon. listen…LISTEN…if i was a secret-war-crime cult nunlet princess worshipped by my entire planet and the only person that (barely) kept me in check was my childhood nemesis—a butch a year older than me, towering over me in stature and physical prowess, and so hot it made my teeth hurt from how hard my jaw clenched in her presence, who wielded a two-handed seven-foot sword and had irritatingly huge biceps and told very lewd stupid jokes and also learned how to wield an entirely new weapon and be my bodyguard with startling accuracy in three months—only to have us finally learn to trust each other because we got invited to a magic murder mystery and then before the bubble burst i spilled the worst secret about myself that i was born because my parents murdered an entire generation and tried to Kill Her along with them and she just wouldnt die, and i told her this expecting a swift death i believed i deserved, only for her to fucking cradle me in her big butch arms and kiss me on my forehead with her soft butch mouth and just. forgive me for a shameful weight ive carried my entire life and then MAKE AN ACTUAL NECRO/CAV VOW with me despite every evil thing i have done to her……to have her tell me, in the end, bleeding and broken after putting up the most beautiful and glorious fight of her life, that she understands purpose and she understands duty and she knows loyalty more fiercely than ever now, that she knows who she is to me, that there is no her without me….to have her backed into a corner and make the ultimate sacrifice…..for me…..to recite scriptural wedding vows of eternity to me in her last wisps of soul-consciousness…..if i thought there was even a snowflake’s chance in the pyre that i could save her by turning myself into her very own locked tomb, i’d be begging ianthe tridentweirdius to crack my skull open and turn me to mush too, goddamn. i understand you harrowhark girl you don’t have to explain a thing to me. god said you couldn’t undo the lyctor’s bond bc it’d kill you. you told god and his angels that not even a lyctor’s bond could outshine the power of female spite and lesbianism and they didn’t listen. they didn’t believe you. but i heard you loud and clear and i was 17 and hormonal and hopelessly romantic not too long ago unlike those fucking dinosaurs and i’m saying it’s valid it’s what i would have done and really everyone should be thanking you for not being worse and more wretched about it, all things considered

#i think about gideon nav every day #she makes me want to eat drywall #shes so jesus shes so her own thing shes so god and savior It Is Finished divinity of love and sacrifice #honestly so much of harrow is so so relatable to me shes so real for everything she does #her little griddlehark meetcute au her little divine highness au #ive already waxed poetic about the harrow nova au #sorry to keep waxing poetic about this but i really am rotted about them #like im going insane. tamsyn muir when i get you tamsyn when i catch you #griddlehark #tlt spoilers #harrowhark nonagesimus #i am you as you are me we are one and two and two and one #i cannot conceive of a universe without you. #should i forget you let my right hand also be forgotten; add more also. if aught but death part me and thee. #I FELL INTO THE WATER AND NOW IM FREE

#this might b silly i guess but i legitimately want to know how common kettles actually are here #we've had the same kettle my entire life so ig I don't have a frame of reference for how other people boil water #can't edit polls but i would've included electric kettles if i knew those were a thing #also insane to me that it seems a lot of people microwave water... microwave-made coffee tastes to bad to me

sokka trying to get katara to give up on her waterbending bc it could get her killed. and katara refuses to give up and continues to practice anyway. bc sokka and katara represent the survival of both the people and the culture. sokka had the safety of their people thrust upon him by his dad, while katara is the only one in their tribe that can carry the weight of their culture. both are heavy burdens, and they're struggling with their roles bc they're just two kids trying to rebuild in the wake of genocide. but they refuse to give up, bc that's what the story is about.

holding onto hope, regardless of what you face.

#so glad they focused on this aspect of katara and sokka's story instead of making them fight abt sexism #highlighting the unique ways in which they struggle to preserve the water tribe hits so much harder #ALSO it's a little unclear but if katara is the one who helped free aang from the iceberg #then katara's insistence on embracing her culture is what breaks the iceberg and frees aang (aka hope) #natla spoilers #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #live action atla #katara #sokka #atla #natla #🪸
