ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

#'all those tiktok girls who only like marvel films and' - why do you always say girls and women? are the guys filling opera halls instead? #'women in their mid 20s who still only read YA novels' okay sure that's an example and relevant discussions can be had #but it reminds me of the mocking tone in which people speak of 'chick-lit' to use women's interest as an indicator of lower value #while in fact women are reading more than men in EVERY single genre of fiction. Women are doing a lot of (often unpaid) labour #supporting libaries supporting theatres supporting cultural events #meanwhile there is a pretty big overlap between toxic masculinity and anti-intellectualism #(especially misogyny and homophobia) #especially when it comes to things like ballet or opera or musical or generally dance #in fact it is often the female investment in specific things that makes them less 'valuable' in general consciousness #for thousands of years the theatre was well-respected and a high form of art - and now it's a 'wife-thing' #the father who will teach his son that theatre and dance are for girls - how is that never an example for anti-intellectualism

Wait, what do the neighbours do to more or less get money? Like what do they do for quests wise?

Howdy's tavern has a board where people can post jobs/quest requests - a lot like in Fairy Tail! a lot of times requests are sent in the mail to any tavern/area that will post them, so you gotta be quick about responding before anyone else does. if the posting was sent in, they have to reply via some form of message to confirm it and essentially say "dont let anyone else take the job, i'm/we're on my/our way"

the quests/jobs have a wide range. sometimes its like "collect this item for me", sometimes its "bodyguard me & my belongings while i travel", and it can be "kill the monster terrorizing my town." it can be anything! it's a mixed bag!

and its a little risky, too. the job postings arent always... In Depth. one time the Neighborhood rushed somewhere because the posting just said HUGE EMERGENCY, LIVES IN DANGER but in reality it was an elderly farmer who had them build a new coop for her chickens before the winter frost. then another time it was all "id like help with a small issue at our town's border" and then the Neighborhood got there and it was a fuckoff huge dragon that they were Not prepared to handle.

the Neighborhood doesnt just take job postings though! their travels often take a while because they'll get into shenanigans/trouble, or in completing one job something else will be asked of them, etc. they also don't always do it for money. if someone's in trouble while they're traveling, theyre gonna help without asking for compensation.

#sometimes their jobs/quests start at home base #sometimes they have to travel #sometimes someone will even arrive asking specifically for them! #the length of their travels also varies wildly #sometimes its a couple days #sometimes its a couple months #one time they didnt return to home base for a year #now THAT was an adventure #rambles from the bog #wh fantasy au #the neighborhood is known for being capable and very helpful #so theyre lowkey celebrities! theyre the pride of their lil town <3 #but yeah their skills and time tends to be in high demand #people will sometimes send their requests specifically to howdy's tavern #in the hopes of the neighborhood picking it up #but yeah honestly they do more Unpaid stuff than paid #they're always doing a coin check - who has what & can they afford a hot meal at an inn #all of them crouched in a circle counting out their collective money after a completed job #thats why theyre always happy when howdy joins - he rakes in So much extra shine #also hes their friend. but with him around they can afford to sleep in beds #oh my god howdy is the neighborhoods sugar daddy #sugarpillar....

Starfield - The player is asked to join Constellation…

Player: “Do I get paid?”

Sarah: “What, beyond free room and board, and the use of our starship?! UGH!”

Player: “I mean, I still need savings. I have my future to consider.”

Sarah: “No you don’t! Your life is weird space artifacts now! Don’t be so selfish!”

Player: “…Is this a cult?”

Sarah: “Maybe a LITTLE.”

Later, coming across a dangerous hostage situation, and being asked to go in and fight armed bank robbers…

Player: “If I’m going to do this, I’d like to get paid.”

Sam: “That’s the sort of thing you should ask about AFTER the job is done.”

Player: “No it’s not!”

#starfield #dan shive says stuff #video games #seriously what is with games judging you for wanting compensation for work #does someone on staff resent getting judged for using unpaid interns or having to pay interns #it’s all very heroic until you realize your funds all come by pillaging spoils of combat

[curlyhairedprince]

you know what, yes I am still pissed about this whole thing and I 100% think that we should stop doing lthq‘s job for them

#i know it‘s not gonna happen but still #it‘s literally unpaid labor #esp if you count us coming up with all the ways they could do better

My favorite part of running Royal Archivist is definitely reading the tags people put in their reblogs. I really love seeing people react to goofy bits or wild lore, it's just fun seeing people crack jokes or roast their streamer or have the same reaction I did while watching stream.

This blog (and the VOD Timestamp Archive) take up a lot of time and energy I don't really have, but seeing everyone's tags and seeing the kind messages I get every once in a while thanking me for my work make me so :'))))) I know MCYT fandoms tend to have a bad rap, but everyone who interacts with Royal Archivist has genuinely so kind and funny (with one or two exceptions) and it's really nice to see. I love seeing the love people have for QSMP.

#mod talk #Your friendly neighborhood Archivist is having a rough one but I just got a very sweet message and it made me smile #I'm very bad at responding to messages I'm so sorry OTL #Tumblr doesn't notify me half the time and the other half my ADHD nerfs me and I forget that I haven't responded to someone #But anyways #I really do work hard to do good edits and good clips but sometimes I'm working on an edit at 2am like #''Why am I doing this. QSMP should hire me. I feel like an unpaid intern all over again.'' #''I could do so much more work if this was my actual job I was getting paid for'' #lmao #Ah well it's good video editing practice at the very least

Do... do I go with the username for the running gag of "worst kept secret" or do I say fuck it and say magister Merlin for giggles to see his reaction

#afk merlin #afk shakir #afk journey story #afk journey #fun fact my username isn't my merlin's name in story #his name is actually Emrys #because. historical references and. bbc merlin brainrot. #Another hilarious fact: Emrys is so done with everyone #King wants to go into a thousand year nap after this is all done #Emrys is NOT paid enough for this #“the greater good” Emrys: I am being guilt tripped #Emrys: I can't even unionize for this unpaid heroism work because my familiars would cry if I mentioned I didn't want to do this #at least he gets to meet Dionel #fun fact: if there was an option for Emrys to ask Dionel if he could just stay #he would take it #he would stay in the moon temple with Dionel #Emrys “I can't say no to helping because Guilt” Magister “I will expend myself beyond my reasonable capabilities because I see no other #option in these trying times“ Merlin

Van as storyteller. Van, with a miserable home life, a place where she has to raise herself. Van, who’s probably been telling herself stories to ward off the loneliness for years. Van, who sees stories as escape.

Van, who lands in the woods and starts telling stories aloud. Van, who has all these movies living inside her head, who lets them out to make everyone else feel less alone. Van, who takes a campfire dynamic and turns the dial to eleven, because stories are comfort, stories are safety, stories are home.

Van, who understands more than anyone expects expressly because of stories. Van, who sees the situation through the lens of a narrative arc. Beginning. Middle. End. Van, who watches the plot unfold, watches the twists and turns, and can’t stop telling the story aloud. Van, who knows all too well what kind of story they’ve landed in.

Van, who can’t stop telling the story now. Van, who sees the truth behind the tale. Van, who is finally done regurgitating the narratives that bring her comfort, who turns instead to the ones that will keep them alive. Van, who understands stories are sometimes the only way out, the only way to escape.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #yj meta #van palmer #it’s so fascinating because Shauna IS their scribe. she records the events. but she keeps that story locked down tight #it’s VAN who tells the story where others can hear. VAN who sits at the fire and gives them somewhere to go #and it’s Van who both understands the narrative of their new life and sets them all up to embrace it #ask Lottie to give blessings. embrace the weight of unexplainable shit. hold up the queen of hearts. kickstart the hunt. #and when she goes home it is once again to a story #the story of the girl who got away. the story of the 90s-era dream of opening a video store. #the story that has no room in the script for relationship drama or unpaid bills #just keep telling it. keep telling it. keep yourself going in the hopes the end will make sense. #some of these posts and tags are gonna repeat I’m sure but I’m just. fucking obsessed #I also NEED to see some of Van’s childhood. or her talking about it. something.

[Insight Needed‼️: NRC YEARBOOK]

Thinking about making an NRC Yearbook of sorts featuring as many OCs/Canon characters as possible... Though I may need a team behind this if it gets big (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

This is just an interest check. I don't have the layouts planned just yet, but I'll keep y'all posted on that 👀

The main thing I have in mind doing is something like the senior quotes pages (like this:)

Ofc, this can be expanded on! However, this is the only thing I can offer as a solo coordinator :^))

Do let me know your thoughts, would love to hear y'all out ^^

#twst oc #twst #twst yearbook #<- ???? maybe? #nem try not to make an ambitious ass project challenge [failed for the 5th time] #if this gains traction I may work on it during summer break 🫡 #would love to turn this into a zine but idk how to do that 💀 #plus this is all volunteer work... i dont rlly want people to pour in work for no pay 💀 #I'll be doing the heavy lifting with the layouts and stuff (idm doing this unpaid 💪)
