World Water Day - LGBTQH2O

Aqua Anna here... essentially here to tell you that if you truly want to commemorate 

such a thing as ''World Water Day'' 

you might as well do it like that: 

but that is not an option, for some. 

If that's the case - read on! 

Reminder that our next Blue Drinks will be on Tuesday February 12! RSVP to our eventbrite below https://t.co/gMfojYzOL9

They may have got the excuse of being Canadian and all 

but these idiots up north make absolutely no sense at all 

by inviting (fellow Canadian) Ryan Reynolds to this thing 

- and daring to mention, in the same wake, 

#WorldWaterDay2019

As we all know 

- especially you, Luciano - 

World Water Day was still a month away 

- and, now, it is finally here; 

but look at what they've done with it... eh 

...that is the noble intention - but is it followed up on? 

...now this particular image seems to send the wrong message: 

like we are losing it all, wasting it - 

just like it happens when we leave the faucet on 

in our kitchens, bathrooms, whatever...! 

Way to go instilling in peeps the notion 

of not wasting water...!!! 

Must have been a guy who designed this... 

... a bit more restraint here - and logic, too - with Maven Logix; 

the last drop imagery is ominous, indeed. 

Can it be enough to give the idiots a sense of the true 

gravity of the matter here...? 

We can only hope so. 

... now the Muslim take on World Water Day. 

That third one takes the cake: wow. 

Way to go preparing for the Aquapocalypse there; 

isn't that what you coined it, Luminous Luciano? 

It will not be just for the infidels, apparently... 

... now, Aqua Anna couldn't agree more with that one! 

But just look at the womanly representative chosen for this: 

sure, she's an Aquaficionada too, but... 

She's a sister - no doubt about that... 

But she's more of a Third World dynamic - not an everyday topic... 

Not the kind of vision when you think of all the excesses; 

all the pollution - which comes from everywhere but 

Third World countries... She's not ''it'' - 

and she's not wet either. 

Definitely not the kind that would make me... 

Instead of making the ''water problem'' closer to home 

this sort of thing makes it further away, 

in the average North American dud's eyes... 

And that is counter-productive. 

(Agree or disagree, Luminous Luciano?)  

All this is quite enough to infuriate 

the most passionate of H2O purists - for sure. 

But how about this now, also: 

Watch as the filmmakers of Aquaman discuss bringing some of the most absurd elements of Atlantis into the sci-fi film: pic.twitter.com/Gz0KPzszgf

Isn't the English language just a tad bit 
more refined than this? 
Isn't it capable of finding and substituting 
a better word there in place of  ''absurd''...? 
Why is it not absurd, then, all the 
sorcerous shenanigans of Potter land dwellers? 
Why wasn't it used to describe the 
improbable denizens and protagonists 
of such films as Neverending Story... 
Labyrinth... Dark Crystal... hell, 
Star Wars, Star Trek and all the rest!? 
Why is it specifically ''absurd'' here - 
with a fantasy featuring sea creatures 
and the wondrous realm that exists 
down below, in our oceans...? 
ABSURD... ATLANTIS? 
I think not! 
ENCHANTING 
and a true MARVEL... yes! 
(lecturing Marvel here on what a genuine 
true blue MARVEL in all caps 
is supposed to be...!) 

Thought you'd find this aquamusing: 

Brie Larson's Captain Marvel has not only 

subjugated and humiliated herself 

serving pop corn and drinks to moviegoers in Jersey 

in total and complete servitude 

(proving herself to be less than a captain and more 

of a maid or a Ms, Marvel again...!) 

now she wants to go on a DC - 

a Disney Cruise, that is...!!! 

They ALL want to be... Aquaman and Mera! 

Do Feige Fags have no shame...??? 
No need to answer that!!! 

That little girl named Brie - still wet behind the ears, not between the legs; 

if it is between the legs, it isn't anything other than pee -  

she just dies of envy wishing she could be as majestic as 

this Sea Queen here - magnificently rendered into 

statuesque statuette form 

by one Joelle Jones 

(not one of J'onn J'onnzz' personas - no.) 

Mera does have a lot of... Medusa in her here - though! 

  But enough about all this! 

AQUA ANNA has a craving now - 

the thirst, shall we say... 

AND HERE IS JUST WHAT 

CAN SATISFY IT: 

INDEED... if all you aim for is to forget 

about the sad state the planet is in - 

forget and relax, in the comfort of your own home, 

in the safety and solace of her arms... 

and legs... then YES - INDEED: 

there is no better way to commemorate 

World Water Day - than by being WET!

well, that was last month... 

today's THE DAY --- 

and what have you even done?!?

ONCE AGAIN WORLD WATER DAY 
IS A FLOOD OF GOOD INTENTIONS 
CASCADING DOWN UPON SOCIAL MEDIA 
AND WEBSITES IN GENERAL - 
JUST LOOK AT IT NOW: 

But how many will follow through 

with any of this... huh? 

How many will donate to organisms 

such as charitywater

I can tell you who will not: 

New Aqua Scribe Kelly Sue (not Peggy Sue; 

I know you have got the hugest crush on Kathleen Turner, 

Aqua Anna - ever since Romancing The Stone but, 

most specifically, ever since she started taking on 

lesbian roles repeatedly... so please contain yourself 

and your exxxcitement here - it is really not the place) 

and new artist Rocha (Luso...?) are taking a little 

and A LOT of inspiration from THE GOOD BOOK now 

in their latest adventures for ol' AQ... 

Alas, once again, the environmental topic 

-so taboo it appears to be, eh- 

is simply not broached at all. 

IN FACT...

AQUAMAN 

- whether the character published by DC Comics 

or the one portrayed by Jason Momoa on film - 

completely avoids the subject, each and every time; 

he'd rather continue to fight mythological figures, 

battle silly super-villains equally silly DC keeps throwing at him 

and fight for Atlantis' survival - apparently at the detriment 

of marine life, ecosystems and the greater, 

proverbial ''Bigger Picture'' overall...

A classic case of LOVED ONES AND THE LIKE coming 

before DUTY - as referred to early on in his GoT epic 

by writer George RR Martin - himself a scavenger 

of all things Biblical, Tolkien and Historical -  

merely repackaging it, rewording it (crudely) 

and representing it, mixed in with elements 

prickled from outrageous folk tales, fairy tale material 

and pure fantasy - for greater profit and the fun of it! 

It worked, too: Game of Thrones is a huge success - 

it spawned many new stars, side-effected spin-offy careers 

that have, in most cases, petered out actually... 

(The new Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genysis; 

the blasted wretch cast as Iron Fist; 

the "Half Man" destined to play in Hervé's biopic; 

the jury is still out on the new Jean Grey...!) 

Sean "The Real Mr" Bean and Jason Momoa himself 

have come from there; and the case can be made that 

if the latter is not killed off as Khal Drogo in GoT,  

he is not picked up by Zack Snyder as his Aquaman! 

But that's another story! 

AQUAMAN's MOVIE website itself 

completely omits any mention of World Water Day 

and its uncanny proximity to the actual date of release 

for the Blu-Ray and DVD of the film... 

On top of that - the website is NOT SECURE...!!! 

Zero mention of *WWD* on their social media presence 

- once again, as in previous years - 

only retweets of Oceana's nod to 

World Wildlife Day 

or Ocean Conservancy's "Turtle Tuesday" 

tongue-in-cheek "tradition" 

along with an occasional sea creature spotlight 

will ever surface on pages such as The Aquaverse - 

not officially sanctioned by DC at all. 

But even they... missed out of World Water Day!!! 

...this is all so very disappointing, 

DC...!!!  

Decades have passed, and nothing has really changed: 

I recall the time you started publishing your 

lamentable ''WHO'S WHO - the definitive directory 

of the DC universe'' in loose pages format - 

binder sold separately... DC! 

You announced who was going to be on the covers 

of all twelve (12) issues - and Aquaman wasn't there! 

I wrote to you then - I remember... as a fan! 

I wrote to complain about this; that here was one of your 

central characters - the one who represented 

the biggest chunk of the planet 

(not merely a fictional Chicago!)  

and he deserved to be on one of those covers. 

You did concede that - in large part due to 

the presence of a certain ''Doodles'' preditor 

(editor K. Dooley, prone to doodling at work) 

who happened to be an Aquaman fan, too... 

And he pulled whatever strings there were to pull  

in order to get it done - 

but then what was the result of that? 

THIS: 

...no, there is nothing intrinsically wrong 

with that Who's Who cover, per say... 

Except that this set back the character 

another decade or three! 

After years of being drawn by the likes of 

Jim Aparo, Dick Giordano and even 

Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and George Perez, 

this was a huge letdown - 

and it only reinforced the pre-conceit 

and misconceptions uninformed little minds 

had about the character and his tales... 

Doodles Dooley and his chosen scribe and artist 

were not to last long at the bar of this ship! 

On top of that, that headline 

(''Aquaman swims back into action'' - ha!) 

gave away the sad truth about it all: 

in-between the years 1980 and 1995, 

DC had all but given up on this character! 

He was swimming in limbo - for a while! 

Which is not as bad as being killed off, 

outright - which he finally was years later, 

after his successful runs under, successively, 

Peter David's pen, Erik Larsen's pencils (...) 

and Dan Jurgens' entire set of crayons... 

NOT TO MENTION the ''Waterhand'' saga, 

with Rick Veitch helming the entire fleet...! 

Imagine that: he got killed off - 

after all that - plus a ''Just Imagine'' story 

by Stan Lee himself, reworking Aquaman 

in his own hackneyed, marvelous formulaic ways...!  

Aye, that WHO'S WHO cover that I had clamored for 

is just one of the most flamboyant examples  

showing DC's and Warner Bros' INEPTITUDE 

WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THINGS 

...

- it is sad, but true...! 

So, the fact that in 2019, when they had this 

golden opportunity to release the first-ever 

BLU-RAY / DVD / DIGITAL COMBO 

of the hugely successful and visually-stunning 

AQUAMAN MOVIE to coincide with 

WORLD WATER DAY... 

they totally and completely miss the boat on it 

- well, it is not surprising one iota. 

It is consistent with their misuse and poor handling 

of the property, over the course of some 

eighty (80) long years now... 

One could even excuse it - and explain it: 

they are reticent to get too involved 

with actual ecological and environmental concerns 

-even though they appear to be theirs to tackle- 

as it is not their primary business and objective here: 

newsflash (drum roll, please) --- AQUAMAN is NOT 

in the business of saving the seas, whales, coral reef, 

dolphins, sea life of any kind... He is not in the business 

of fetching drinkable water for anyone on the planet. 

Hell, he is not even in the business of preventing 

death by drowning for anyone out there! 

AQUAMAN is in the business of 

trying to make MONEY - 

selling entertainment 

for the masses! 

It is not at all surprising then - under that perspective -  

to see Aquaman's official pages on social media 

totally forget about all of these important dates 

- meant to raise awareness of these grave facts 

for the mindless, unconcerned, uncaring 

surface-dwellers who pollute the planet 

without a shred of repentance... 

World Oceans Day, World Water Day... 

Just a day like any other business day! 

AQUAMAN, as a fictional character whose 

sole function is to ENTERTAIN, can be held into 

account for any apparent flaw in his character - 

every little tiny bit of doubt over his effectiveness 

or even raison d'être -  such things have made 

lesser talents (lesser at entertaining) 

hugely famous: the wretched Seth of the Orville's 

pathetic toons come to mind here... 

And those two idiots behind the lamest 

attempt at animation ever seen in the history of television - 

whatsitcalled again - Southern... trailer Park trash, or something? 

and all the other nincompoops out there... 

BUT HE CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE 

OF REAL-LIFE OCEAN POLLUTION - 

THE PROLIFERATION OF PLASTICS 

AND OTHER TRASH IN THE OCEANS - 

AND SO ON...! 

Audiences are inane - 

but they are not that inane! 

They know their characters 

are simply there for escapism - 

their escapism from the pressures 

of the real world - 

and how WE are destroying it! 

"Heroes" are not there to spread the awareness 

- and much less to actually save the day! 

THEY ARE JUST OUT 

TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK! 

And if they can make it by hashtagging along 

with a few trendy causes along the way 

(... say, like #BlackLivesMatterPanther 

or #CaptainWomensRightsMarvel  

or #HulkUpForAllBipolarDisorders 

or #XMenTransgenderedRightsForAll 

or #WonderEQUALITYWoman 

or, yes, #AquamanSaveTheWhalesToo...) 

they will - but not so overtly as that! 

The dichotomy remains clear 

between these two realms, verily - 

it is only audiences who support the fiction 

repeatedly -and I do mean repeatedly-  

that blur those separative borders 

and tack on greater meaning 

to works of pure fantasy 

that do not make things advance 

-in truth- one iota.  

Like... just look at this for a second: only a second, please! 

ALL THESE CHARACTERS - and nothing to fight for, 

really! Nothing to DO! No real motivation... 

Nothingness. 

Bonus note: check out what Aquaman is riding there... 

He's riding PLASTIC - PlasticMan's neck! 

This an attempt at an environmental joke, 

Kurt Busiek? George Perez? 

That is just SICK. 

The fanboys and average joes, alas, 

will rather invest in entertaining themselves 

-over and over again- 

than invest in changing things... 

They'd rather debate who is best 

between DC and Marvel 

rather than find the true culprits 

for social unbalance in the world. 

This is more along their ability to handle: 

 

And this form of fiction rarely tackles 

the real issues head on - 

Black Panther battled the token villain. 

Aquaman spent most of his film 

in-fighting amongst Atlanteans! 

No social or ecological issues 

were addressed, not for too long anyhow - 

only Orm Marius mentioned something, 

briefly... because it fit his character's 

motivation - that's all. 

A whole movie addressing real issues 

would cease to be "entertaining" - 

especially if one follows the Marvel model... 

(And DC appears to be adopting 

a similar approach, now...) 

AND THAT IS JUST TOO BAD. 

FOR IT IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY - 

EACH TIME OUT... 

EACH "DAY" - 

SUCH AS WORLD WATER DAY. 

FWG - not SJW

Gals are gushing over Aquamomoa (more than they ever did over Battafflack or SuperCavill, that is for sure! Heterosexual gals, that is...) and geeks are going gaga over Mera (nice) and Atlanna too (nicer) as that film that is fast approaching 1 billion dollars at the box-office... Naysayers and haters all around the globe are confounded and CRUSHED. (Yay!)  Everyone agrees (everyone with a brain, that is) - AQUAMAN is the single GREATEST super hero movie EVER to grace any screen anywhere! (Aren't you happy for our childhood hero, Luminous Luciano!) Me? I am keeping my eyes peeled for every little sighting of that Fiji Water Girl chick - that's what I am doing! #FWG... baby!!!

Instagram Photo 

Canadian model at the GGA: Kelleth Cuthbert 

a.k.a. "Fiji Water Girl" 

is under contract with Wilhelmina International 

in Los Angeles. She is also married - to a man. 

Not an AQUAMAN - but he does it for her! 

Probably the single most tragic aspect of it all, here! 

For only a woman really understands another woman...

(such is my stance and deepest conviction, you know it!) 

But that's for another time... here... have some AQUAMAN: 

Mysteriously enough, though... 

ATLANNA'S THEME 

(Queen Atlanna's Suite - pardon!) 

is missing from there...?!? 

What gives... WaterTower Music?!? 

IT IS ALL ABOUT ATLANNA 

(AND MERA) 

for *many* of us here... y'know!!! 

Let's remedy to that right now: 

For all her magnificence, however - QUEEN ATLANNA 

has the most peculiar tastes: goldfish for breakfast... 

The creepy, ooky Trench for hideout... 

And men - to cavort with offshore...! 

Back to the  FIJI WATER GIRLS  we go then! 

(because, that's right: there are waaay more than just one!) 

That Kelleth Cuthbert cutie still appears to be the most 

Aquaficionada-like of them all... somehow: 

Corus Media Holdings, Inc ...

Fair Use Act!!! 

And others have noticed that, too...

AQUAGIRL 

has been found 

ALREADY! 

There she is - there, there and even there...! 

She's everywhere - the Fiji Water Girl... Aquagirl! 

(She is making a serious case here not only for Meme of the Year 

and Viral Photo of the Decade - but also to stop Mera's 

winning streak here, on aqua musings, for the title of 

Aquaficionada of the Year...!!!) 

But, as always, there are doubters out there... 

What abysmal, unimaginative morons there are, out there...! 

Just like the dumb-a$$es you exposed on your last time here, 

Luminous Luciano...! 

(For once, we are in agreement - see?) 

(Let's not make it a habit - like Aquaman said!) 

*FWG* outshone everybody on that red carpet! 

From drop-dead gorgeous aquamarine eyeshade above 

to drop-dead gorgeous beautiful butch in a suit, below... 

On to the brightest and the best: redheaded queen 

(and once your top choice to play Mera - admit it!) 

Julianne Moore - to the reigning queen of time travel 

(alas, it is neither Sara nor Ava... sigh!) 

Caitriona Balfe of Outlander fame... 

all the way down to Cuoco! 

Really not that hard to upstage the dumb blonde 

originally from Nebraska, relocated to Pasadena 

and all washed up now that the Big Bang implodes...! 

''FWG'' is inspiring COPYCATS too: 

You better tell them at DC to hurry up, though, Luminous Luciano: 

if they truly want her to compete with Amber and Aquamomoa 

for most impassioned acting ever seen on a blockbuster film - 

the competition already has its sights set on her, also...

(Those bloody Marvel Zombies - grrrrr!) 

*FWG* AQUAGIRL 

IS A SUPERSTAR! 

... BUT SHE REALLY SHOULD HAVE TOLD US ALL 

ABOUT THIS NOW: 

I MEAN... 

 WOW! 

Fine reading material, that water bottle label - very revealing! 

Even more interesting: the reading materials that 

the FWG appears to affectionate a lot, too - 

surely she reads it just for the articles, also...

right, Luminous Luciano? 

We only wish that our lovely Fiji Water Girl/Aquagirl here 

would be the one on the left, on this pic, below, 

sealing the deal with a real blonde, for a change: 

.A.A.
