They're wanting to change the definition of water to see which water would qualify under the Clean Water Act...I wish I was making this up.
What this means, in layman's terms, is that not all water or wetlands would be under environmental protections, so some could legally be dumped in, scraped out of, or otherwise harmed.
The comment period for this is pretty short (just a few days left!) so please submit comments asking for ALL water to be protected.
i wish you guys could read the amazing fic i haven't written and probably will never write, it's fire
Which dqxi character like tea or coffee more? I personally think that the Luminary likes hot chocolate more lol
Big agree on Lumi being a hot chocolate enjoyer! I actually have a post about the DQXI characters’ Starbucks orders lol— but just tea or coffee in general? Lets see~
Erik
He wants to a black coffee person so bad, he thinks it’d make him look cool. Realistically, he can’t drink coffee without a bunch of creamer and sugar.
It does give him the jitters but only if he drinks a LOT.
Veronica
Coffee person for sure! But restaraunts never want to serve her coffee >:( she makes Serena order it for her
She likes Mexican hot chocolate too! Spicy and warm -w-
Serena
Totally a tea girlie. Loves settling down in the evenings with a nice warm cup of herbal tea in a big cozy mug with cute print on it.
Doesn’t mind coffee, just doesn’t prefer it. Has a surprisingly good tolerance for caffeine, though.
Sylvando
That man is from Mediterranean Europe, he drinks coffee more than he drinks water.
Doesn’t hate tea, but he’s very picky about it. Has to steep it perfectly. The tannic-ness can ruin it for him.
Jade
I think she’s pretty evenly split 50/50, but tea is just more common to her daily routine, especially because Rab always has some on hand.
I think if she had the opportunity to she’d maybe have a cup every morning to help wake her up.
Rab
Definitely prefers tea. Helps warm his heart and soothe his old bones.
Coffee is like a once in a while treat for him, especially if he’s having some pastries with it.
Hendrik
My partner headcanons that coffee plants are not native to Heliodor and I believe it. I think coffee gives Hendrik heartburn.
He drinks tea not because he prefers it but because he does not want his tummy to hurt.
Jasper
It’s canon that he loves lemon tea with too much sugar!
Has a better caffeine tolerance than Hendrik, but coffee can still make him nauseous if he drinks it too fast or has too much. Also drowns his coffee in sugar.
Friendly reminder that my ask box is always open, especially if you wanna talk headcanons or request some!

Favorite food headcanons
DQXI x Homestuck Classpects
Modern/Mundane HC Series
Vocaloid characters with DQXI classes, skill trees, etc
Perhaps a blub about hetalia or yokai watch if I’m feeling. Daring
Posts about my self insert characters (as well as an explanation of how I discern OC from self insert)
Thinking again on some Dave Lore: In the book "Dave: A Legend", he's mentioned as becoming a "pink-masked privateer". A privateer was sponsored by the state, so to speak - which got me wondering.
A privateer was often issued commissions, or letters of marque, allowing them to attack other ships without fear of it being labelled as piracy, and being allowed to claim those ships as prizes under law. Dave only became a privateer after his beloved King fell - which I've always assumed to have been King Arnout of Zwaardsrust, the last King. After Arnout fell, so too did Zwaardsrust, leaving Dave without a home kingdom.
Twenty years or so later he met Sylv - a noble by birth - and together they painted all the masts and sails in the inland sea pink. Ergo, Sylv, as Dave's newfound sovereign, commissioned Dave and allowed him to go after those ships without fear of reprisal - and even helped him in that task, as the book mentions.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on

It’s 1:27 AM and I just submitted my last final of the semester. Now it’s 1:29 because I thought too hard about whether or not I had anything else to say in this post.
I cried while writing these <3
Erik
Erik is a man who wants. At first he thinks he wants the type of person that gives him the same high as a good heist. It’s not until later that he realises he’s looking for someone who leaves him feeling like there’s nothing left in the world to want.
Veronica
Veronica wants someone who will wait for her. She’s spent her whole life dragging her sister along behind her, and don’t get me wrong, she loves Serena. But maybe it’d be nice to have someone else take that lead for a change. Someone who will let her take her time.
Serena
Serena wants someone to love her in a way that makes her feel extraordinary. Maybe her storybooks are cliche, but can those happy endings be real? She’s a reincarnated legend. Can she be loved like that too?
Sylvando
Sylvando wants someone who smiles. A light of the world just like himself. Someone who’s really earned their smile lines, who knows how heavy it can be to carry the weight of unrelenting joy. Someone who will smile even in times that his own may falter.
Jade
I think Jade wants a love that feels like her next breath. The only thing she can feel certain will be there. Something that fills her lungs and keeps her heart beating. A love that she knows will always return to her. And she will fight to her last breath.
Rab
His late wife was his one true love. No one will ever hold a place in his heart that can compare. A love that made him feel like a man. A love that made him feel like a king. A love that burns like the sun, even if that sun has set.
Hendrik
Hendrik probably wants a love that feels like his bed. Soft and safe and secure in a way he’s almost forgotten. Always there for him at the end of the day. Intimate and quiet in a way that makes as much sense as the sky being blue.
Jasper
Jasper wants the type of love that he sneaks out at night for. A love that’s hidden away in the castle gardens and known only by the light of the moon. Something he keeps tucked safely against his chest so that no one else may take it from him.
