Short short short fic:

The old men avatar trying to get anything done in pairs/groups~!warning cursing!

Jonah: Hey… Peter could you get me some tea?

Peter: No, you haven’t won a bet

Jonah*Had just been trying to relax after Brutal pipe murder*: OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

-

Peter: Simon, I really don’t want to have to do the institutes party, can you host it?

Simon(drinking a blue coffee): No, you haven’t won a bet against me to allow that-

Peter(cringing inside before phasing to the prison): Elias- if I let you out this one time..:

Jonah(laying down on the metal bench looking at his nails): Fuck off, I’m not hosting an institute party just because your sorry ass is Asocial

-

Simon: So, Jonah… I was thinking- what if I tried making one of your employees-

Jonah(putting his pointer finger up): I’m going to stop you right there and say you don’t have a win on me.

-

Continuation of Peter trying to get somebody to host the party~

Peter: Rayner… could you possibly-

Maxwell: Peter. I Will say this one time and one time only, I do not associate with the institute outside of Jonah- and I do not place bets like you dumb fucks.

Peter(giving his best 😀 smile): Thank you for the insight, Rayner.

-

Jonah: Simon, is it true you only really have two avatars under the vast?

Simon(trying to slip away): Jonah, you know I do not answer questions for the watcher.

Jonah(smirking): ah, well, yes. I know that. But I was just wondering if you’d like to tell me. Not the watcher.

Simon(stopping his escape to give the 😃 smile): You know Jonah- you are not the least bit as clever as you try to come off as… maybe a few more centuries will get you there.

Jonah(grasping at straws): Simon… Please.

Simon: How about a bet?

Jonah(sighing-screaming internally): On what exactly, Simon?

Simon(tapping his cane against the ground as he thinks): How about… how much time it will take for Peter to come how with the idea that he doesn’t have to do the institute party?

Jonah(nodding): Sounds fair… How long do you think?

Simon: About a week.

Jonah(laughing): We’ll see about that…

Simon(realizing he’s just made the dumbest bet of his life with the best manipulator he knows): Oh- wait- no- Jonah come back!

-

Everyone respectively drinking their coffee- Simon’s blue one, Peter’s black coffee(with one pump of vanilla and nothing else), Jonah’s Carmel macchiato, and Maxwell’s seasonal black as night coffee-

Maxwell: So- Jonah- how are things with the new Archivist?

Jonah(seeming quizzical): Since when do you- ah- … How’s your little minuscule and ultimately unsuccessful black hole doing?

Maxwell(suddenly angry): Oh well since you asked so kindly-

Simon(leaning over to talk to Peter while Jonah and Maxwell bicker): When you do think Maxwell will first bring up your great great great great grandpa?

Peter(going rigid at the thought of Mordechai): I’m not making a stupid bet with you, Simon.

Simon(tutting, before giving the 😃 smile): Seems I was right anyways.

Maxwell(having set down his coffee minutes ago): Are you going to fuck them like you fuck every avatar and worker in your inner circle?

Jonah(giving a 😀 but one eye-twitching smile): Edmund, do you want to visit the end? Or do you want me to squeeze the information out of you like twisting out a soaked necktie?

-

Annabelle(got invited while Elias was in prison): This seems like an awfully boring event.

Maxwell(sitting as far back in his seat as possible sipping his black coffee that goes cold every time and deadpan staring at her like she’s committed a capital offense): It’s actually quite eventful when Jonah is here.

Simon (reading the same paper that Gertrude had posted to stop Peter’s ritual in physical format as he does every-time the meet for coffee): Why- it is peculiar that you are acting so upset now that Jonah is gone- or is that your hormones from the new body?

Maxwell(looking like a goth but not the good kind- the 12 y/o kind): Oh shut up!

-

Simon(on his way over to the institute but stopping at the prison to say hi): Don’t you look ravishing.

Jonah, bored to death, sitting upside down for the first time in months): Fuck off. What do you want?

Simon(smirking and looking him over before sighing): We both know that Peter is going to fail.

Jonah(nodding and sitting correctly): Yes.

Simon: But we don’t know how badly he’ll fail.

Jonah(stopping for a second): What are you suggesting?

Simon(giving a cheery laugh): I suggest the good captain will die.

Jonah(thinking it over before nodding and leaning back): Most likely.

Simon: The question is when?

Jonah: Placing a bet, are we?

Simon(nodding like a kid on Cotten candy): Exactly, I estimate after the worlds changed.

Jonah(shaking his head): You’re saying he’d give himself over to the end?

Simon: Precisely.

Jonah: Well- I’m sure you’re wrong and Jon will kill him, good luck then.

People will tell you what they want you to know, he'd said. If that was true, I would have brought up Ethan right away, not just with him but everyone I met. That's what you do about the best thing that's ever happened to you. Unless, I guess, it is also the worst.

Challenge #03859-J207: Want to Bet?

The CEO brags their life is better than any alliance citizen could ever dream of having. The CRC bets them 1 year that they will instantly join the alliance if they knew that life. The CEO tries, 1 year later, the CEO hands their empire to the CRC. -- Lessons

Day One. These Alliance folk are fools. I'm going to win this dumb wager. I make a better life than the one I already have, and they gain my entire empire. I remain in squalor, and they send experts to study my techniques. Of course I start with nothing and pull myself up by my bootstraps.

Nobody is going to help me. Nobody helped me rise to my position in the first place. I earned everything I got. Of course I understand that many folks won't know about the bet. I expect nothing more than what any other of those soft, lazy, know-nothings in the Alliance would get.

Day 2. A residence, medical care, and fresh food right off the bat? These Alliance sponges are nuts. There's no motivation once the plebeians have everything they need. I booked a skill testing to guarantee I'll get the work I can perform adequately. I expect to excel. I am, after all, tougher and naturally superior to any of these soft permissive leeches.

My dad's lack of media comprehension serves as a fascinating litmus test for gay subtext. He "didn't pick up on any gay breadcrumbs" between Stede and Ed until the moment they kissed, but he knew that Will Byers was gay just from "it's not my fault you don't like girls" in series 3. It took him way too long to realise that there was something fruity going on in Killing Eve, but he fully believed that Sherlock and John ended up together

#my friends were making wagers on when he would clue in to ofmd and I would send them updates like:#“we just got to calico jack saying “ed and I have had our dalliances” and dad called it “an accurate depiction of complex male friendship”#ofmd #our flag means death #gentlebeard #stranger things #byler #killing eve #villaneve #bbc sherlock #johnlock

I think the crux of what makes the rat grinders so damn rage-inducing is just. How fucking entitled their whole stance is. Like sure they've put in a lot of time! And frankly, if they were just trying to graduate, put in the work, and get out with average fucking grades that would be fine.

But instead the first thing we know about them is that they feel the treatment some people (the bad kids) get is unfair. And like. That's what makes it so frustrating when the revelation comes of what they've been doing for the last two years. Because in those two years they have risked nothing and helped no one. Killing rats in a trainee forest doesn't change anything. The rats are just there. They're not a threat to anyone, there isn't any danger. Nobody needs to be doing that.

Meanwhile, the bad kids have quite literally saved the world three fucking times. The number of people who have directly benefitted from the actions of the bad kids is astronomical! And they have risked so goddamn much in the process. They have repeatedly put everything they have and are on the line, with the only beneficial reward they've gotten being their grades. Hell, mostly their success has just resulted in them being burdened with more work!

So when these fucking rat grinders show up and start complaining that the bad kids are getting favored unreasonably, they and we all know how absolutely bullshit it is, because the reality is, the bad kids have put in so much more work than the rat grinders have, for barely any reward.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #also was anyone else kinda mad at the way gorthalax talked about three hours every day like it was an amazing amount of effort?#like im not doing that math right now but id wager if you actually looked at it the hours the bad kids habe put in are much fucking higher #like there was obviously more downtime in freshman year but for basically all of sophomore year they were always on-the-clock #even working in their fucking sleep like goddamn

"Did I hear Bee say you need a job?" "That's what I'm told," he replied. "You're told?" "It's actually more of an ultimatum," he admitted. "Apparently I am both annoying ~and~ expensive."

I really wish allosexuals would understand that there ARE asexual stereotypes that revolve around the idea of us being sexual 'degenerates.''

For one example, consider the image of the NEET/incel who is so addicted to hentai that he's lost all interest in real women (a stereotype that, in many areas, also comes with feminisation fear; many of those hentai games are pretty darn girly).

Or, for another, that of the older man who lives alone - and since he has no interest in marrying, he obviously MUST have some kind of perveted violent interest in children or animals or the like.

Not to mention that in spaces that are aware BDSM doesn't always involve sexual contact, there's the fear around people (of all genders) being so perverted they only want to be humiliate or sexually degrade others, intead of making real intimate connections with 'normal' sex.

Asexuals are not in any way immune to sexual shame or being perceived as perverts. This is not a 'privilege' we hold over gay/bi people.

#asexuality #wonder what percentage of eroge enjoyers are transbians actually #id wager notably more than the general population at least
