Recently on Unhelpful File Labels in the Archives:

On-Going Project. Folders were empty.

Well Written Articles, 1999. There were no articles in this folder. There were a lot of budget reports though.

Stuff. You are killing me smalls.

Section 569-055 Knowingly burning or exploding. This was just papers shoved between files, I have a lot of questions and zero answers.

This quote from A Memory Called Empire really captures that feeling of when you spend an hour drafting an email and then you finally push it off into the world and feel like ok now I don’t have to think about that anymore, but then the person immediately replies and you have to start the process over again

#rebageling because it is that day again (email info service duty) and i am suffering

It’s so important to me that the animated Mighty Nein shows Essek being uncool. Yes, I want to see him being the ice cold Shadowhand. Yes, I want to see him cast Dark Star. But I also want to see him trying to explain what soup is and anxiously chugging whiskey hot cocoa and making weird noises while being manhandled by Caleb polymorphed into a giant ape.

#critical role #the inherent looser-ness of every last cr character is actually so important to me. personally #queue

Unironically one of the reasons I am such a massive bitch about doing photo/media/pr stuff is straight up that it's not my job. It's not in my contract, im not getting payed for it, and constantly asking me to do it for grades in my apprenticeship was already jokerifying me and now asking me to do it for Lau is making me want to eat nails every time because it's not like you can just say no can you. Well mateys it's going to take exactly as long as I am payed for it, which is fuck all, so.

One of my tentative plans for the future is to have myself registered as a having a mini freelancer sidebiz so that when shit like this happens I can smile and offer to be hired on as an independent contractor for double my current hourly pay, since that's the going rate. Like, mate, I'm a library assistant. Doing the job of a marketing bachelor is going to cost you more than what I'm getting lol.

Most 'Miles/Chilchuk would be proud of me' quality of me is that I know free journos and ppl who are doing 'something with media' irl and I have a vague idea of their rates and work expectations, so when ppl try to do the tried and tested method of moving all the graphic design and PR work onto random employees without giving them time allotments or budgets for it, I just think to myself that they can't afford to even ask me to do that shit

watching Liam O'Brien do a spectacular fantasy!German for dozens of episodes has impressed me so much and yet nothing could have possibly prepared me for the man starting to sing, of all the songs, "Laurentia, liebe Laurentia mein"

the immersion! if you reached to the very back of my memory there'd be like ten folk songs there and this one, which we used to have to sing at 7:00 in the morning on choir retreats while doing squats and other silly little workouts, would definitely be there. it's a silly ditty you've heard somehow exclusively in childhood, it's a little game song for children. If all else was tainted by your later life that song would probably survive, it's perfect

#yessss #oh my god that moment was just such a VISION of all these little wizard kids at the prestigious wizard schooldoing squads to Laurentia #laurentia is such a mainstay of organized excercise. who of us has not suffered to laurentia #critical role #caleb widogast

I really hope the animated Mighty Nein keeps the extremely stupid way they got the Beacon. They were about to just give up this weird mystery artifact, then changed their mind and decide they want it just because they don’t want the government to have it, on principle. And then cue an extremely risky and stupid plan than somehow works out just because they decided they wanted this thing in a whim.

And then they just carry around a fragment of a primordial god in their bag and occasionally use it to cheat at drinking games.
