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! 

Aquaducks... Unite!

There was a time, believe it or not, when only one wordsmith dared to make such a simplistic pun in order to create a funny cartoon character... That wordsmith wasn`t me, no - but it was a favorite of mine, back in the day: Roy Thomas. (I`ll credit him though equal credit, at least, could go to one Scott Shaw.. perhaps? I am not 100% sure though... It is probably so, however, and in being so it mimics perfectly the genesis of the very character they were spoofing in the whole process - Aquaman! Who else... Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris shared the credit of coming up with an ``Aquaman`` in 1941 - many decades later, it stands to reason that another scribe -Thomas- and another artist -Shaw- would combine their efforts to come up with... Aquaduck!)

An aqueduct... And a cartoony duck. What could be more sublime? And simple! When it came time to turn the entire roster of the fabled Justice League into cartoon anthropomorphs, it was the obvious choice indeed: and little luminous me had no reason to ever believe that there would be another ``Aquaduck`` out there... ever!  Boy was I ever wrong there...

Just as there came a plethora of other Aquamen, in time, for every reason under the sun...

There came to be a hell of a lot of good reasons for there to arise more Aquaducks as well - money being the chief one indeed! Disney could have never let that elude them... of course not!

The name ''Aquaduck'' had to be used (and profited from) by the foremost duck in all the land (and sea, maybe) - and that is Donald Duck. (Sorry, Scrooge - you stole your schtick from Dickens anyway!)

For me though, there was... there could only be... one Aquaduck - this one: 

We always forgave him the poor design 

that Scott Shaw! (exclamation mark required) 

gave him - undoubtedly to try and have 

some major difference with the 

unforgiving Donald... 

Or else...

(It`s a Don thing, I guess...)

Aquaduck (or, as we christened him ourselves, 

``Aster Cushy`` - yes, yes we did; I did! 

Since I couldn`t wait for Roy or Scott 

to come back and do it properly...! 

Remember the Aqua Force? 

Well, I just had to spoof my own team creation, 

also - it stood to reason and all - 

and it all started with Aster Cushy aka 

Aquaduck - duh! Poor Aquaduck...) 

he wasn`t the only one who suffered 

somewhat greatly due to a passing 

resemblance with Donald; 

Howard did, also...

Which is probably why he looked like this 

on his first foray into the seventh art: 

... as remote as could be from a Disney character! 

(And a DC...!)

(But that is another story...)

Howard got the full treatment of redesign already, 

now that he`s part of the Disney machine, 

just like all of Marvel and Star Wars...

Aquaduck got remodeled, too - by the fans 

(including me!) 

But the result is something less than official...

ANYWAY... 

This isn`t about Howard versus Donald versus Aster... 

This is about the same thing as attempting 

to run down all the AQUA products out there 

(and we have tried, a couple of times...!)

or all the Aquaficionadas 

on all the beaches in the world... ever! 

This is about figuring out...

just how many Aquaducks there are now!!!

So... Let`s go:

Now *this* particular AquaDuck is interesting indeed: 

he appears to have taken on a very active role in his community, 

one that requires the lifestyle of a full-fledged mascot...! 

He even collected a sponsorship deal, it seems - 

with the fair Maid Naturally! 

We are impressed...

Donald remains the uncontested king, however - 

laughing (not quacking) all the way to the bank...

The following deserve some consideration though - 

seeing as they are afloat... are ducky, even... 

and some have the undaunted support 

of some notable 

Aquaficionadas...!

Okay, okay, okay... technically, that is an 

Aqua Swan... yes!

Cut us some slack...!

(Or a piece, as it may be...)

Yeah... Have a slice - and stuff it - willya?

But back to the ducks now - shall we?

We would be remiss if we did not include here 

a few other decidedly (duckily?) famous ones, 

aside from the ``top three`` that we mentioned...

Oregon Duck looks like Donald alright - 

but he got away with that, apparently!

And Daffy... of course! 

We gotta have Daffy!

(Plucky? No.)

The clear cut winner of all this, however, has got to be the richer one 

-call him the quack supreme already- 

and we all know who that is now...

Hey - the kids remember him - forevermore (!?)

And he shamelessly has his own family 

slaving away for him, onboard...

while he parties on with his gal

Truly he is a Don...!

We would not be surprised to find out that these quackers 

are all being part of his administration... soon! 

The *real* Liquidator should be incensed...

But that is another story!

This is about Aquaduck... 

And my Aster Cushy will always be 

the only Aquaduck - for me!

Hear that... you... quack!? 

We do not care how wet `n` wild you are...!

Or that you... and that... that... wet rat pal of yours...

may even look more super-heroic than our old fave...!

And that you are so rich and mighty...!!!

Or even that you appear to have your very own brand 

of Aquaficionada - wearing Aquaduck Bikinis!

Truly, nothing stops *Don Aquaduck Disney* 

from raking in the dough 

with a 1001 offerings...

Aqua... DUNK it is, after all...?

2... 1... Blast Off!

**Waughhh!!!**

Don here is, verily, even more voracious than a bloodsucker himself! 

We wonder on whose side *she* is on, now...?

... probably the same as everybody else...

It is enough to just about... lose it... isn`t it?

Well, so sorry to have to break it to you, 

bloodquacker... er, sucker...

Life cannot always be ducky... all fun and games...

So let us compose ourselves - 

and accept things as they are! 

We remain on our hero`s, ah, boat - 

for it still does float - in limbo, but still - 

like a few others who have never left his side: 

that oddball octopus there... 

and the pink whale.

We`ll pretend that this is his new logo...

Logo designed by.. someone! Found on the web!

 It is that AquaDuck from Spokane, though, 

 that is doing the most for this planet... 

...without a doubt!

Bravo... *AD*!

 Ultimately, wouldn`t it be ideal if all of these types of fowls...  

 er... super-heroic characters... banded together for fun, profit... 

and sharing that message of eco-awareness that is so 

 urgently needed nowadays... hmm? 

 Maybe Disney wants to call Spokane...? 

 Maybe not...
