Water is just an oxygen molecule with two little hydrogen balloons on it pulling it up which is why gaseous water is lighter than air, which is why clouds are in the sky and rivers exist. This sounds fake, but it is not.

Does this imply that, on average, water molecules ‘point’ downwards, with the oxygen ‘hanging’ from the hydrogens?

When a gas in air...maybe??? I would be super curious...I don’t see why not.

No, this image you use of the hydrogens ‘pulling up’ the oxygen atom is not a good one (sorry). The H2O molecules would be oriented randomly if gaseous or to maximise hydrogen bonding of in liquid.
