Scenario: somebody you know casually, but not, like, that well has cheaply obtained some rare article that happens to be related to a special interest of yours. However, they're not sure if it's genuine or a knockoff, and – being aware of your special interest – they reach out to you to confirm its authenticity. The results of examining photos being inconclusive, they insist on showing it to you in person; upon arrival, they point the way to a musty, ill-lit basement where item in question is ostensibly kept.

#i dont trust like that!! #because 1) i dont know this person that well. so like? im not wanting to meet up with them in private in the first place #2) i dont feel like i ever get invested in my interests deeply enough to feel confident authenticating anything #like i would fully be like “oh sorry. i dont know enough about that to say whether its legit” sldfkhlfshd #i *would* say 'i wont get casked because ive read the story' but cautionary tales dont work on me like that... #there are times where ive made a bad decision and then found myself in a similar situation months/years later and made the SAME BAD DECISIO #like. i am not that intelligent. i could not avoid getting casked simply by having knowledge of the possibility of getting casked #the kind of guy who would go “haha this reminds me of the cask of amontillado” moments before getting “the cask of amontillado”ed

#dragon age #2 mages and a warrior lmaoo #honestly they would probably all be mages if da:o had an apostate origin instead of just circle mages lmao #i cant remember if ahari was supposed to be a champion or berserker (i dont think i got far enough in her run to make the decision in-game) #i thiiiink my hawke was a blood mage? dont quote me on that. its been a while since ive played #nhox is a rift mage. she was almost a necromancer but i felt like rift mage felt more fitting for the inquisitor lol

really surprised i have of yet to see this reading of laios' and toshiro's relationship before tbh

#dungeon meshi #idk man as a white possibly-autistic person this seemed obvious to me so idk WHY toshiro gets so much hate for it?? #like maybe its just because im a huge weeb and knew japanese culture is like this? but ive met ppl in america like this too?? #i was kind of raised that way (thank you crippling hereditary social anxiety <3 ) so it didnt feel as opaque to me as it seems for other pp #because i mean i could relate to both of them so hard in that scene #ive busted my ass my whole life to understand and internalize all these tiny social cues and analyze every angle of a social situation #i get so frustrated when im like “you cant do x you have to do y” in terms of social etiquette and someone asks me to explain why #IDK WHY!! THATS JUST HOW IT IS!! THATS JUST HOW YOURE EXPECTED TO ACT #“why didnt toshiro just tell laios outright” BECAUSE YOU CANT DO THAT ITS RUDE #YOU CANT BE RUDE!! YOU JUST HAVE TO SEND LITTLE PSYCHIC SIGNALS AND VAGUE HINTS #disclaimer: i really like toshiro as a character. hes my stressed little guy. i will defend him just like maizuru #i really love laios and i relate to him a LOT but i also really love toshiro #anyway its nice to see people get it bc ive seen some wild interpretations of this scene... #toshiro is not an evil monster and laios is not an innocent uwu babygirl being bullied

poetry and musical theater get similar accusations leveled at them in terms of not being realistic, i.e. “no one fucking talks like that” or “people don’t randomly burst into song in real life” and sometimes i just want to take people by the shoulders and say. there are forms of art that are not aiming for perfect realism. are you capable of handling that

#“people dont randomly burst into song in real life” yes... they do... #ESPECIALLY theatre/chorus kids in high school holy shit #throwback to the one chorus girl in my graphic design class who sang disney songs every day #but only like. one or two lines at a time. over and over. #like she would sing half of a verse and stop. then five minutes later sing the same verse fragment and stop. it was insane #so maybe its a GOOD THING that the musicals dont portray real-life singing in a realistic fashion

#going to business school has broken my brain. we were taught that “the purpose of the business is to maximize shareholder value” like #they literally do not care about you at all. neither as worker nor consumer. they only care about making shareholder gains #and if they have to fuck you over to do so!! hey thats just good business sense babey!!! get covid and go to hell for all we care!!! #UGHHHhhhHHh #i dont think my covid was severe when i had it (didnt have to go to the hospital) but it still knocked me on my butt for the week #i cant imagine trying to work in those conditions #“oh but if youre symptomatic then you should still stay home. this is just for asymptomatic people” lol ok but if we just go back a bit - #- the business doesnt care about me as a person. so they can heavily pressure me into coming in regardless #and then blame me for coming in sick! because 'oh you couldve taken the day' yeah but maybe i cant afford a day off unpaid??? #plus if im asymptomatic and feeling totally fine. im still gonna be around people who i will likely infect. and then more people get sick #oh but my shareholder value!!
