stick

Tim: I can't crack this case. My skull is about to implode. Stephanie: Bit dramatic, Timberlina. Tim: I just want my brain to give me good thoughts, please, fuck. Stephanie: Smack it with a stick. Tim: My brain? Stephanie: Did I stutter? Tim: I think you just described a lobotomy.

talking to older republicans is so gut-wrenchingly awfully funny because you'll be like "what do YOU WANT from your politicians?" and they'll be like, "I want someone who fights for the working class and ends the american empire" and I'll say, "guess which candidate has that IN THEIR PLATFORM— not Joe or Tr*mp—it's Claudia & Karina from the SOCIALIST party." And they'll go, "oh.... as long as it's not no communism," and I yell, "YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING CRUSHED INTO THE DIRT BY A CORPORATE OLIGARCHY HOW EXACTLY DO YOU THINK COMMUNISM COULD BE WORSE??"

"Hey dad can you convince [*insert someone with power here*] to let me join [*insert something i cant join*] please??? They said its impossible and also probably illegal"

My dad, a therapist who got me into a bunch of stuff that I wasn't allowed to join or go to purely by "just having a quick chat with the guy in charge": ...

Me: "well?"

My dad: "dont worry im already writing the text in my head."

Me: "just no gaslighting, manipulation, mansplaining or bringing up their childhood this time yeah?"

dad: "its not gaslighting, manipulation and mansplaining, its methods of therapy and it works every single time so sit down and let me think"

Me: "k thanks love you"

#Actual conversation I just had #This is legit how it works around here #Therapist dad goes brrrrrr #I'm serious once he handed me a letter and said “got you into that thing you wanted to go to” and I was like #“OMG HOW????” #And he just chuckled and said “his dad had anger issues” #And I just looked at him and said “iM SORRY WHAT??” #and he just went “dont worry about it” #Anyway my point is dont trust therapists they have a whole other life too #Both of my parents are therapists and some people say “oh thats so great!!” NO IT FUCKED ME UP #except for that little detail where I can do what I want cos my dad can convince anyone to do anything lols #But other than that #Living with 2 therapists fucked me up BIG TIME #WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question

#she sounded so remorseful & i just stood staring like an anthropologist watching their phd thesis spontaneously manifest before their eyes #apparently she would watch the pilot episode to get a feel for the characters #and then just read a bunch of recaps & episode reviews instead of watching future episodes. what fresh steaming hell #this conversation took place like a year and a half after we were roommates btw. i had seen her maybe twice in that time period #i thought she was a standard frat girl but then 18 months later she appears in the wild grass to reveal unhinged character background to me #and i'm just standing there nodding feeling like i missed a weird opportunity i did not want or ask for #honestly thought i was the weirdest person in that apartment situation but now i'm wondering what our other 2 roommates were hiding #not my strangest college experience at ALL but like. definitely top 20 #this wasn't the same person as Aquarium Girl btw but oddly enough they were roommates actually #(not at the same time that Recaps Lady and i were roommates but at different intervals idk) #anyway i probably should have interviewed at more than one apartment before taking over a sublease but summer sess is a weird time u know #oh and this happened in Hong Kong btw

still insanely funny to me that ortus nigenad has canonically written 18 volumes of epic poetry about a bodyguard who was, in fact, Just Some Guy, and regularly quotes himself out loud in conversations on the regular. man had to die at the start of gtn because he was too fucking powerful to live

#ive been sitting here for like. a solid five fucking minutes trying to come up with a good comparison irl and i Cannot #like imagine if your bodyguard wrote what is basically a huge love song to your great great x10 grandparent's bodyguard and then #he just kept quoting himself in conversations #and then in the weird heaven afterlife you're using as the backdrop of a hallucinated memory sequence to justify the brain surgery you gave #yourself so you could forget the most important person in your life bc she killed herself for you #and you Cannot Conceive Of A Universe Without Her In It #and the dude the bodyguard wrote love songs about in question turns up and is like 'well i was kinda average actually #but thanks to the power of YOUR love songs i can now bend the rules of this liminal space to my will and beat this eldritch monster' #like dude what the fuck #ortus nigenad #harrowhark nonagesimus #tlt #tlt spoilers #htn spoilers #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #griddlehark #it wasnt in the post but i had griddlehark Feelings in the tags so #words of wyrm

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but it feels relevant again in light of the most recent episode. Something that’s really fascinating to me about Orym’s grief in comparison to the rest of the hells’ grief is that his is the youngest/most fresh and because of that tends to be the most volatile when it is triggered (aside from FCG, who was two and obviously The Most volatile when triggered.)

As in: prior to the attack on Zephrah, Orym was leading a normal, happy, casual life! with family who loved him and still do! Grief was something that was inflicted upon him via Ludinus’ machinations, whereas with characters like Imogen or Ashton, grief has been the background tapestry of their entire lives. And I think that shows in how the rest of them are largely able to, if not see past completely (Imogen/Laudna/Chetney) then at least temper/direct their vitriol or grief (Ashton/Fearne/Chetney again) to where it is most effective. (There is a glaring reason, for example, that Imogen scolded Orym for the way he reacted to Liliana and not Ashton. Because Ashton’s anger was directed in a way that was ultimately protective of Imogen—most effective—and Orym’s was founded solely in his personal grief.)

He wants Imogen to have her mom and he wants Lilliana to be salvageable for Imogen because he loves Imogen. But his love for the people in his present actively and consistently tend to conflict with the love he has for the people in his past. They are in a constant battle and Orym—he cannot fathom losing either of them.

(Or, to that point, recognize that allowing empathy to take root in him for the enemy isn't losing one of them.)

It is deeply poignant, then, that Orym’s grief is symbolized by both a sword and shield. It is something he wields as a blade when he feels his philosophy being threatened by certain conversational threads (as he believes it is one of the only things he has left of Will and Derrig, and is therefore desperately clinging onto with both bloody hands even if it makes him, occasionally, a hypocrite), but also something he can use in defense of the people he presently loves—if that provocative, blade-grief side of him does not push them—or himself—away first.

(it won’t—he is as loved by the hells as he loves them. he just needs to—as laudna so beautifully said—say and hear it more often.)

#critical role #cr spoilers #bells hells #orym of the air ashari #cr meta #imogen temult #ashton greymoore #liliana temult #this is genuinely completely written in good faith as someone who loves orym #but is also about orym and so will inevitably end up being completely misconstrued and made into discourse. alas #I could talk about how Orym’s unwillingness to allow the hells to actually finish/come to a solid conclusion on Philosophy Talk #is directly connected to one of the largest criticisms of c3 (that they are constantly having these conversations) #all day. alas. engaging with orym’s flaws tends to make people upset #it is ESP prevelant when he walks off after exclaiming ‘they (vangaurd) are NOT right’ #which was not only never said but wasn’t even what they were talking about #he even admits as much to imogen like ten minutes later! that he is incapable of viewing it objectively #which is 100% justifiable and understandable but simultaneously does not make his grief alone the most important perspective in the world #also bc i fear ppl will play semantics on my tags yes the line ‘i hope she’s right’ was said but it was from ASHTON #who does not believe they are at all and wasn’t saying they actively WERE right. orym just heard something to latch onto and ran with it #ultimately there is a reason orym only admitted that he was struggling when he had stepped away to talk to dorian #who has not been around and thusly has not changed once n orym's eyes #and it isn't that the hells never check in or care. they do. they have several times over #it is dishonest to say they haven't #the actual reason is that all of this is something He Is Aware Of. he doesn't mention it bc he KNOWS it's hypocritical and selfish #he says as much! #EXHALES. @ MY OWN BRAIN CAN WE THINK ABT MOG AGAIN.

My friend: "What’s your taste in men and women?"

Me: "I want a man I can bench press or a women that can bench press me."

My friend: "What??"

Me: "Wait I’ll show you…"

My friend: "Ok I think I get it."

It's interesting, because at my last job my boss was good---very good---about creating and fostering relationships. At the time I was horrified, because why are you texting our general counsel? Why are you calling someone up and asking them to opine on something that's just showed up on your radar?? This is business, we need to do business-y things in a business way!!!

It took me a long time to recognize what this approach bought him. He was terrible at data entry, yes. I don't think he once ever approved my vacation time, just said "sure, put your out of office message on." (He hated approving vacation time, so he just....didn't.) But he was looped in, hooked in, always consulted. Everyone picked up his calls, because if he was calling it wasn't going to be a haranguing, he wanted to work with you to achieve both your goals, and honestly? you could call him out of the blue too. It worked both ways. He was crystal clear when things were handed down from the top (usually because we'd get a beer and he'd complain about it) and when requests were coming from him/our team. And he was always, always very clear that we were his people, and it was Us against The Company; he was consistently, unequivocally and completely on our side.

(........this did not stop The Company from pulling its shenanigans, but it always felt like he was siding with Us when it did.)

I know this, because now I'm in an organization where my boss isn't on our side, where things aren't explained---even when explanations would make the boss' requests more reasonable. I'm aware of other situations too, where members of the team have been what seems like deliberately insulted or attacked by our boss, which is frankly unnecessary.

I don't have a conclusion to draw from all of this, and god knows that bad bosses are ten a penny, each terrible in their own way. Still, I do think about it more and more, particularly as I stare down 1 year with the company.

#the number of conversations I have had with my counterpart that involve me saying #''if boss would just explain WHY she wants this I would feel much more comfortable pursuing it'' are. uncountable. #once my mother said that my setup at previous job sounded ideal; and I even agreed with her because #well my first job out of law school was. monstrous. of course job 2 was better. #but actually? I didn't even really know how blessed I was. #old boss had many shortcomings but his ability to foster connection was enviable. #no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

ZoSan would be a fast burn if they ever talked to each other. It’s a slow burn because they’re physically incapable of communicating in any way other than fighting lmao

#I’m sorry their lack of communication is so so funny to me because there’s so much about each other that they’d actually like if they ever #had a normal conversation #real talk in my head the only reason they end up together is because they have nakama who love to meddle #and are also sick and tired of watching them dance around each other #otherwise they would just pine separately and never ever do anything about it #Zoro in particular is like ‘hm feelings alright I will take this to my grave’ #rambles #one piece #ZoSan

You ever skip so much dialogue because it makes more sense narratively to just go "fuck you in particular" . Like when you're already going to kill the kaiser and the fucking guy won't tell you shit

#fear and hunger termina #f&h abella #pavel yudin #olivia haas #funger olivia #i actually didn't think id get to see the confrontation #and was geniunely on the way to murder kaiser #ran into it #heard even more fucked up shit about him #and it felt too right to just leave straight away without waiting for more conversation #and then just announce to kaiser we'll kill him #dialogue? skipped but by god it had to he
