Celestial_Alignment

I was born in the 20th century. This blog is 18+ ONLY. She/Her. A place for me to dump a variety of things that I happen to like. I write fanfics sometimes (as Celestial_Alignment) and make GIFs. Fandoms include, but not limited to Star Trek, Marvel, Star Wars, Hornblower, The Wild Wild West (TV show), Forever Knight, Highlander, The Musketeers (BBC), Dragon Ball...

Masterlist of My Masterlists

Here's an organized list of my fanfics. I'll try to keep it up to date, but I always post them all here on AO3 anyway.

I usually create a "masterlist" when I have about 3 or more fics for that fandom, so not everything is here.

Star Wars

Star Trek

The Wild Wild West

Highlander: The Series

Forever Knight

Dragon Ball

BBC The Musketeers

Holy fuck

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

Better Box Fan Air Purifier

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

[objectconstancy]

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)

This trick works. We use it in my house.

We literally built one this morning because the air quality had gotten so bad from all the wildfire smoke coming in from Canada (and we live closer to NYC ffs). I was so sick when I woke up this morning and my eyes were red and irritated and itchy. My mouth and throat felt constantly dry despite being properly hydrated. I was constantly sneezing.

Our cube has only been running for about five hours. My mouth no longer feels dry. My eyes are mostly back to normal. Sneezing has been greatly reduced. I’m still sick and that might take a while, but this is a HUGE improvement. The whole cube costs less than $100 to make and that included getting the materials delivered through Door Dash.

Build yourself a cube or whatever variation is necessary for your budget/living space. It will make a difference, I promise.

Such a short yet impactful part of the DBZ series. The History of Trunks is my favorite special. I had to redraw my previous piece to try and do this special justice.
