#TODAY WAS SO GOOD FOR MY EGO

[cimicherrychanga]

on artists alley at the con today i picked up a cute tamagochi pin and lifted iy next to my real tamagochi that i was wearing as an accessory to show my friend and the artist went 'oh you NEED to have that its on the house take it right now' i love people ;w;

#shut up dave #TODAY WAS SO GOOD FOR MY EGO #i got. and i shit you not. SWARMED by photographers when i stepped outside. like 6 of them all at once went can we get pics. #did impromptu photoshoot w just a whole bunch of cameramen around. an you expect me to be humble still? #ALSO MET.

Didn't get to smoke before work this morning (also not at all confident I took my meds) and while I'm managing the immense stress of the day (hello three new projects) rather well I'm reminded that the ritual of a spliff and a cup of coffee does in fact help keep my teeth dull and my temper subdued

#asked my fellow hiring committee members one of whom is my supervisor if i was really the only person who liked one candidate #and was blatantly honest that I think the issue at hand is the ego/insecurities of the man who oversees this role/department #and we have to toe the line of choosing someone good for the job and who wont be bullied by him/clash with him 24/7 #and id been shocked that i was the only one who saw potential in one or two candidates and ultimately i think it's due #to the fact im less willing to let the supervisors insecurities/ego play a role in this. and i said as much #and the response was a laugh and 'well shit everyone duck for cover he might hear us james is getting nasty ' #and I'm not really im just tired of pretending like that isnt the core of the issue here. his ego has been wounded for the whole o last yeat #*year and now he's continuously making it everyone else's problem and whomever gets this role with be the Andy to his Miranda #except he has so little to offer in terms of real guidance i feel. hes going to bully and boast and be petty to whomever gets chosen #but any attempt to say that to leadership will get waved away ultimately because he's leadership and he's fought to get his own admin #so rather than get someone with a diverse and varied skill set who can match him in work and intensity #we'll end up with some kid who probably cant set boundaries and will get steamrolled completely #so yeah im irritated by the whole process. and my lack of meds today is making it hard to play nice about it

genuinely confused at how my dad decided to get a degree in a scientific field

#i think it might have been a legacy thing from his granpa cause how else #that man hates everything that is related to science he hates learning he hates being wrong #it seems like he got all knowledge before age 18 and just stuck with it what he forgot he forgot it no longer exists #today it was earthquake denier basically his opinion is that over here there was 1755 and nothing else #just loud and dumb and wrong #i do Not get it. like i love science!! the whole fun of it is learning new things! especially at this surface level #where you can just get a bunch of knowledge about a bunch of different shit and broaden your library of fun facts and trivia #but he genuinely hates learning. idk if it hurts his ego to realize he is a lot dumber in a lot of different topics than a lot of ppl #like sir you who last studied earthquakes in 5th grade and never again do not know more than a doctor of sismology you just dont!! #like its not even close!!! that should be a good thing to realize! that people just go ham on their niche interests and end up #arming humanity with digestable knowledge!! thats so fucking cool! how could you possibly like science and not like that people know more #than you and are willing to teach and to share!! #anyway yea love science hate my dad the usual <3 #rambles

finished my work with one of the classes today, i’ll still be part of their lessons until my internship ends but I won't be the one teaching them like I have. 

anyways they fucking loved the assignment we worked with, and they thought I did good with my teaching, and one of them wrote to me just now to say that they liked having me as a teacher, please hold a sec while I try not to cry,

how do people do this. ive had these kids for 3 (THREE) weeks and im already so attached to them, they're such a funky bunch. some day im gonna be the mentor to a class and they'll graduate and I'll be crying my tits off, won't i.

#its been such a genuine pleasure teaching them too #ive seen few classes with vibes as good as this one. they all get along. theres 32 of them. how are they doing that. #my ego is huge rn tho #ive gotten so much praise for my teaching and the lessons ive designed over the past couple of days #wish I could work as a lesson designer #also today was my first time solo running a series of student presentations #it was so fun #what a kick #henreyetteacher

Alter Ego

Detectives Beilschmidt and Kirkland in the Homicide department have their work cut out for them when a body appears. With no real leads or clues, it's only a matter of time before the numbers increase and the case starts to get out of hand. But with it, so do their lives and the city around them. No one—nothing—is safe. Not until the killer is caught.

But at what cost will the denouement come?

Friday 13th March. 23:46pm.

Sleeping alone always felt a little strange. Gilbert supposed he had gotten used to it here and there, just as he had gotten used to falling asleep with someone there and waking up to cold sheets, or falling asleep on his own and waking up to cosy, domestic warmth. Gilbert had never thought that he'd come to like such a warmth when he was younger. Now, at twenty-nine years old, he relished in the moments when there were two of them.

He and Antonio had to do this odd dance of sleeping and waking often. Antonio was a paramedic—an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician, he had said with pride when he passed the qualification a year prior—and received a whole variety of shifts that could fall at any time of day. The things he saw in the span of a ten-hour shift were horrific. It was amazing how he was always so cheerful. But Gilbert worked for the Homicide Department in the city police force, so he supposed he didn't often see much better. What a thing to compare, how many dead people did you see today? No thanks.

It was work, nonetheless, that had woken him. His phone buzzed on the bedside table with a name on the display that was growing more and more familiar, stirring him from his light sleep. The screen also told him it was still Friday. Once upon a time, he’d be out on a Friday night, not trying to get to sleep... Gilbert answered the call and was met by the stern, astute voice of his superior, his boss: good old Basch.

"What time do you call this, boss?" Gilbert joked with a light heart as he got up from bed and prepared to throw back on the clothes he had recently discarded.

Basch was much less amused, but Gilbert wasn't surprised. "I call it midnight. And you're needed," came the reply. That only meant one thing, and it was never good news for anyone—even if it was what Gilbert was paid to do. "A body has been found. Anna's here already. I've sent the location to your phone so I expect to see you promptly."

"Roger that," Gilbert said. "Is Kirkland coming, too?"

"I am yet to call him, but you're currently blocking the line, Beilschmidt."

"Ah."

The Prussian (only on his mother's side) apologised with only a small degree of sincerity and promptly hung up the call. It would be a bad idea to annoy Basch before he even got to the crime scene. He dreaded to think of the face he'd have slapped on him when he showed up. God, it wasn't even a new day and he was already done with people…

As he stumbled around and tried to distinguish trouser from jacket from t-shirt (harder than it sounded, he soon found out), Gilbert wondered what the scene would actually look like and how serious this call-out was. He had only been part of Homicide for a few months, and the department itself was a notably small one, with only four permanent detectives and Anna, who worked in forensics, essentially having to babysit them all each day. Not that she seemed to mind. She was used to dealing with kids.

But, even so, they were lucky that the city didn’t often require them for big cases. At that moment in time, half of the permanent team was already busy in clearing up some of the cold cases, the unsolved killings that had been lying in dust-smothered boxes in the old archive room… That was the reason he had been called, he supposed. The other team was busy deciphering twenty-year-old reports, and he was being summoned from the cosy, warm confines of his bed.

No one had said this job was going to be easy.

When he eventually got to the car and turned it on, the screen inside lit up with an angry orange hue and screamed at him: 23:58pm. 13.03.2020. Friday the 13th. What an unfortunate date. Certainly unlucky for someone… But Gilbert entered the address sent to him by Basch into the navigation system and wasted no time in setting off, quietly pulling out of the communal parking lot of his apartment complex and onto the main road.

every time I see someone say their favorite executions were sdr2’s, I lose a couple years off my life I think

#I’M SORRY I’M BEING NEGATIVE TODAY #but I hate those executions so much. they’re so cartoony and bad #and most of them are animated super lazily #chapter 3’s is disgustingly sexualized #AND AGAIN THEY’RE JUST. NOT SCARY. LIKE THEY’RE NOT EFFECTIVE AS A MEANS OF MAKING YOU FEEL FOR THE CHARACTERS #the only exceptions to this are usami’s ‘’execution’’ in the prologue and the chapter 5 execution #those slap - and it’s simply because they manage to make the threats realistically terrifying #and yes. Yes I KNOW that sdr2’s executions bei exaggerated and cartoony TECHNICALLY fits with the lore of that game but consider this: #it still sucks #like my dears ‘tis a psychological horror franchise. bye bye ouchies doesn’t thrill or upset me it just makes me lose braincells /Meg #hell even most of THH’s executions weren’t great. #Thousand Knocks is utterly DEVASTATINGLY shocking and therefore one of the strongest in the series imo #and the burning of the versailles witch could have been very good if not for the ending #but the others are just………I do not like them. #excavator destroyer is. fine. like yeah okay big twist alter ego was discovered but. it’s so fucking low stakes. besties it’s a computer #OH ACTUALLY. MAKOTO’S VERSION OF AFTER SCHOOL LESSON MIGHT GENUINELY BE MY FAVORITE OF THE WHOLE SERIES #THAT ONE’S FUCKING INCREDIBLE IT’S SO STRESSFUL TO WATCH OUGH I LOVE IT #and the. when alter ego saves him….. WHEN THEY FLIP THE FORMULA!!!!!!!! #WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING THE EXECUTIONS YOU KNOW HOW UNPREVENTABLE THE CHARACTERS’ DEATHS ARE…….SO WHEN ALTER EGO SHOWS UP IT’S SUCH A MOMENT!!! #genuinely so good and Kyoko’s version completely pales in comparison like it’s not even a competition #and then v3 is like………it has the most consistent execution qualities of the series I think but none of them are particularly noteworthy #Blast Off 2.0 is cool as fuck for the ending alone but the fact that they reused the blast off concept from thh………it’s disappointing af ngl #I LOVE cultural melting pot for the name alone but man…….mixed feelings on it at best #the only real issues I have with the rest are the monokubs basically highjacking everything at the most climactic moments #AND OH MY FUCKING GOD. DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON BUGS PANIC. stupidest execution EVER and its only saving grace #is that it’s even SLIGHTLY gory

#today was pretty funny because it was a guy day not a woman day but this one dude was still hella misogynistic to me and called me ma'am #like. usually I'd be thrilled but weirdly enough today isn't a miss and ma'am day so it felt weird #also. being able to switch gender presentation means I've gotten pretty good at figuring when something is misogyny and when it's just mean #anyway. how tf do people stay one gender I would get too bored I feel the need to switch up my appearance and dress all the time #I really wish I could have short hair on command though. long hair on guy days is a burden but I need it for my woman days #I just need to find a good way to put it up in a way that feels right on days like this. I left it in a ponytail and that was a mistake #yesterday was so gender though. I looked so fucking good. #a customer told me I looked like her sister who apparently was a model so uh. ego boost #I almost walked into the womens' bathroom without thinking and honestly I prolly could have pulled it off if coworkers didn't exist #anyway. big genderqueer rep. I deserve a salary
