The line reads on these, especially the last one, sounded a lot like Zuko in the show proper.

My mom's spent a bunch of time arguing with me about how I should be a lawyer and I keep telling her I fucking hate arguing and conflict and the fact that I'm arguing at all is being used against me. :\
Also she keeps insisting I could do it because I'm sooo smart. There's thousands of lawyers out there who are dumber than me, that isn't the issue, the issue is do I have the temperament and how much more can my mental health take.

man in black
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: the color black is most often associated with power, something carlos surely has over you. pairing: carlos sainz jr x fem!reader word count: 3.7k warnings: SMUT – oral (m & f receiving), fingering (f receiving), praise kink, p in v sex, unprotected sex. minors do not interact. || google translate spanish & french, probably inaccurate descriptions of the weekend schedule. so severly unedited and not proofread. note: finally! the long awaited man in black, in honor of the black fireproofs from monza. to be honest, this isn't just dedicated to the black fireproofs, but also the amazing job he did in monza. his race craft that weekend deserves to be celebrated with terribly written smut. hope this was worth the wait (also full disclaimer i wrote the last maybe 500 words high out of my mind so i really do hope it makes sense)
Monza. It’s the weekend for Ferrari to prove they are more than the mistakes they’ve made throughout the season. It’s the weekend for both drivers to prove that the fans are right to have faith in them. Monza is the weekend that Carlos has everything to prove. 
But it’s gonna be a challenge when he’s forced to start all the way at the back of the grid.
“I don’t know hermosa,” Carlos mumbles, rummaging through his luggage on the bed for his outfit of the day. “I don’t know if this weekend is gonna be what I want it to be.” 
You frown, crawling out from under the covers and over to your boyfriend. You kneel to give your boyfriend a sweet peck before sitting back on your feet. “Don’t say that mi dulce. You’re gonna have a great weekend, a weekend you can look back on and be proud of… even in this ridiculous shade of yellow.” 
Carlos chuckles, watching as you pull out his typical Ferrari polo but in the shade you described as minion yellow. You grimace, shaking your head as you lay it down on the bed nice and flat, ready for him to wear. Your boyfriend presses a kiss to your temple as you do so, grabbing a pair of light chinos before stripping down and changing. 
For the first time since Barcelona, you would be accompanying him on the track all weekend. You have your reservations about preferring to only come around for race day, but considering that your boyfriend is taking a grid penalty in Monza of all places, you figure you’d step it up as the supportive girlfriend. You know that Carlos has been desperate for a win since Silverstone, craving the rush of being the first person across the finish line. And truth be told, you were also missing the sound of his name being announced as victorious. You can still hear Crofty now, his excitement as he announces that for the first time in Formula 1, Carlos Sainz is victorious. 
In lieu of being the supportive girlfriend and hardcore Ferarri fan, you made it a point to match up with the yellows of the team. Granted you opt for shades more flattering to your skin tone, and not so in your face, but still. You’re in a simple, yellow strapless dress and white sneakers. It isn’t long until Carlos is ready, his hat in his hand along with his phone, wallet, and keys all in different slots of his fingers. You hum softly, prying his wallet from his hands before dropping it into your purse so you can hold his hand.
“Gracias hermosa,” He mumbles, pecking your lips.
The paddock is swarming in red and yellow, the tifosi excited to see their two leading men and how they’ll fare over the next couple of days. You stay out of every photo op and conversation Carlos catches himself in as much as possible. Everyone is so kind, even to you, and it’s refreshing. You watch as excitement begins to grow behind Carlos’s golden brown eyes after every interaction. It’s almost as if his impending grid penalty is long forgotten. 
Even with the knowledge of him starting in the back of the grid, Carlos pushed himself and the car. He topped in the practices, showing the world that given the chance he could very possibly win this race. It’s after free practice three do you really see the adrenaline and determination coursing through your boyfriend. You stay in the back of the garage, Charlotte on your left, as you watch Carlos analyze the data on the screens. You don’t hear the discussions, or quite frankly understand what exactly they are looking at, but you can’t deny how good he looks at that moment.
His thick, dark hair is pushed back, holding its form effortlessly. His bottom lip is slightly jutted outward, his fingers against his chin while he listens to the engineers explain the final set of data before qualifying. His skin is so golden, even more so against the now black fireproofs. You thought the white got you going, the black seemed to be working on overdrive. You feel Charlotte’s elbow against your side, tearing your eyes away from your prince-like boyfriend. 
“Vous bavez,” You’re drooling. She whispers, swiping the corner of her mouth with her thumb before giggling. 
You roll your eyes playfully, feeling your cheeks heating up. “Shut up.” 
You turn back to face Carlos, who is already walking over to you with a sweet smile on his face. 
“Hey, do you want to come upstairs with me?” 
You nod, “Sure.” 
You stand up from your seat, telling Charlotte you’ll see her at qualifying and trailing behind Carlos as you walk up the stairs. You both get a quick meal in the cafeteria, then retreat to his room. You hum softly, watching as he pulls the yellow suit off his body, hanging it up on the door of his closet. He slips on a pair of gym shorts before joining you on his massage bed, chin resting on your shoulder to look at whatever it is you’re staring at on your phone. 
“How are you feeling about qualifying?” You ask, putting your phone down next to you and turning over to look at your boyfriend. 
He shrugs, “I don’t know. Optimistic… hopefully I get P1 so I won’t be so far back you know.” 
You nod, fingers reaching over to cup his cheek, thumb caressing his skin softly. “Anything else on your mind? You seem tense.” 
Carlos shakes his head, taking your hand in his own and pressing a kiss on your palm. “No, solo preocupado por quali… I think after it’s done I’ll be fine.” 
“Anything I can do to take your mind off it?” You mumble, your tone only slightly suggestive. You watch as a smirk forms on Carlos’s lips. 
“Tienes alguna idea?” Do you have any ideas?
“Tengo un par…” I have a couple…
That’s when you lean over, lips finding his own. The kiss is urgent, but gentle and sweet. You feel Carlos’s large hand rest on your lower back, pulling you closer against him. Your fingers find their place in his dark locks, gripping the strands tightly in your fingers. He groans softly against you as you tug on his hair. Carlos holds your hips, pulling you over and on top of him. You don’t hesitate to grind your hips against his, your core meeting his clothed and semi-hard cock. 
“We don’t have a lot of time, hermosa,” He breathes, lips moving along your jaw and down your neck. 
You lick your lips, enjoying the feeling of the way he sucks the skin of your neck, how his teeth grind lightly as he does so. You pull away slightly, hands cupping his jaw as you kiss him hard all while you scoot backwards and onto your feet, Carlos sitting up so he doesn’t stop kissing you. You pull away, fingers quick to the waistband of his gym shorts. He lifts his hips, helping you yank the shorts and his underwear down to his ankles. You drop to your knees in an instant, finding your place between his legs. You look at his hardened cock, laying flat against him, long and thick. Your mouth waters. 
You lay your tongue flat against his shaft, licking from base to tip, before engulfing his dick in your mouth. Carlos throws his head back at the feeling, a soft moan bubbling from his throat. You bob your head up and down, hands finnicking with your hair to hold it away from your face. 
It must be a sight to see. If anyone were to walk in at that moment, they’d see an angel in a bright yellow dress, on her knees in front of a devilishly handsome man clad in black. It’s sinful, the way you swallow him, the lewd sounds of him hitting the back of your throat and the wetness of your mouth around him. You can feel Carlos’s fingers combing through your hair, encouraging you to release your locks as he holds your hair back for you. 
“So good to me,” He mumbles, tilting his head as he watches the way his dick disappears into your mouth. His heart jumps when your eyes spring open, looking up at him. Your eyes bore into his and he smiles smugly. With his free hand, he reaches down to wipe a tear falling from your eye. “So pretty with my cock in your mouth baby.” 
You moan around him, eyes falling shut as you take more of him into your mouth. You relax your throat, forcing his cock down your throat before swallowing around him. You can hear his breath hitch, choking back a moan. You do it over and over until your throat is raw, and your jaw is sore. You pull away, gasping for air as you spit in your hands as you begin to pump his shaft. You lower yourself, turning your head as you gently take one of his balls in your mouth, tongue gently caressing the delicate skin. Carlos groans, head thrown back. A string of cuss words, a mix of english and spanish tumbling from his lips. You do the same to the other, before finally taking his cock back into his mouth. You focus on the most sensitive part of his dick, sucking hard and swirling your tongue around it. One hand massages his balls gently, while the other pumps what you don’t have in your mouth. You quicken your pace, your warm wet mouth unforgiving as you pull him closer and closer to his orgasm. 
With a final knock to the back of your throat, he releases into your mouth. He is panting, hot breaths mixed in with a mess of moans. Carlos’s eyes are squeezed shut, forehead tense as he comes down your throat. Your actions slow down, slowly releasing his dick to swallow what he’s left in you. Carlos releases your hair, eyes finally opening to look down at you. A lazy smile is on his lips and he chuckles. 
“Too good to me amor.” 
You grin, standing up and leaning down to kiss him. 
Right on cue, there is a gentle knock on the door. 
“Carlos, warm up time.”
Carlos sighs against you, pulling away and ruffling his hair. “I’m sorry mamita I-”
“It’s okay Carlos don’t worry. You can repay me another time,” You wink, leaning down to peck his lips. He chuckles, nodding before standing up and getting ready to hop back in the car. 
Qualifying was as exhilarating and nerve wracking as always. You kept your fingers crossed for the P1 your boyfriend so desperately wanted. But at the end, Charles secures pole and Carlos qualifies P3. You’re proud none the less, walking over to park femme to watch the post qualifying interviews and the usual photo ops. And when all is said and done, he is walking over to you to greet you with a sweet kiss. 
“P3!” You say excitedly.
“P18,” He corrects, slinging his arm over you. 
The rest of Saturday goes by in a blur, Carlos being whisked left and right for all things Ferrari and you just tagging along. By the time you both get back to the hotel, sex and all other good things are far from your minds and sleep seemed to be the only thing all too appealing for the both of you. 
You’re on the paddock just before lunch that Sunday, a smoothie in your hands as you skip behind Carlos who is racing over to hospitality. You kiss goodbye and join Charlotte for a quick adventure around the paddock. Both of you try to distract yourself for the time being, the race not starting for another couple of hours or so. You both end up at Ferrari Hospitality anyways, eating snacks that the kitchen staff prepared for you guys. Charlotte attempts to teach you more French in the meantime, and you both even dive into some classic paddock gossip. 
The sound of footsteps pitter pattering tears you and Charlotte away from your conversation, the sight of both your boyfriends coming down from the third floor, already clad in those god awful yellow suits. They grin, waving you guys over to join them as they walk over to the motorhome. 
The tifosi are loud, excited for the boys in yellow to get on the grid. They are excited, each scream and cry for Carlos and Charles is filled with so much love and passion. You and Charlotte hang back behind them, arm in arm, watching your boyfriends wave and smile at the people who love them. And when you finally find yourself in the garage, you retreat to the back, watching the chaos ensue. Wheels are being rolled, engineers chattering about data and Carlos standing with Rupert as he does his final rounds of warm ups. 
“Good luck mi dulce,” You say, smiling up at him as he grabs his helmet. He smiles, leaning down to give you a sweet kiss.
“Gracias hermosa, te veo en un rato.” Thank you beautiful, I’ll see you in a bit.
And with one final kiss, Carlos walks off and climbs into his car. 
Carlos drove a phenomenal race. Every overtake had your heart racing. Your leg was bouncing, bottom lip between your teeth as your boyfriend inches closer and closer to the top three. He drove effortlessly, the overtakes were clean and in all honesty just downright sexy. How your boyfriend managed to move from P18 to P4, you would never truly understand but it made you fall for him even further. You can hear the cheers from the grandstand with each turn, each move he made. 
It was going perfect, and surely he was going to be on the podium. But then Daniel’s car retires and they are stuck behind the safety car until the end of the race. You hear the frustration in Carlos’s voice when the engineers tell him the news, and your heart aches for him. In the end. Carlos is stuck in P4. You watch as he walks towards the garage, waving to the fans all the while as he tries to hide the disappointment in his features. You stand right outside the garage opening, ready to embrace your boyfriend as he comes closer. Your arms wrap around him, lips pressing against his cheek.
“Lo hiciste muy bien mi amor. Estoy tan orgulloso de ti.” You did so good my love. I'm so proud of you. 
His arm wraps around your waist, leaning into your kiss. “Gracias bebe. I have some media and meetings to do, why don’t you go back to the hotel now. I’ll have Rupert take you.” 
“Are you sure? I don’t mind waiting baby.”
He nods, “Si. As soon as I’m done here, I’m going straight to you. Okay?”
“Okay… Te amo.” 
“Te amo baby. See you later.”
You watch as he saunters off with his media personnel, off to do his usual rounds of briefings and media. Rupert smiles at you and soon you are on your way back to the hotel. 
You quickly get comfortable, changing out of yet another yellow inspired outfit and into one of Carlos’s shirts. The sun is beginning to set by the time Carlos is waltzing into the room, black fireproofs still on under his jacket. His hair is propped in all different directions, stress clearly on his features as he drops his belongings onto the desk. You watch as he moves around the room, shrugging off his jacket and kicking off his shoes. He walks over to you, leaning down to press a kiss on your lips. It lingers longer than you’d expect, Carlos’s free hand moving to the back of your head as he kisses you. When he pulls away, his eyes are dark, shaded with suggestion.
“Come join me in the shower.” 
It’s not a question, but a demand. You listen of course. How could you not, especially with how he is looking at you. You trail behind him, giddy and excited as you enter the bathroom. Carlos grins down at you, cupping your cheeks as he pulls your lips to his own. You can feel his smile as he kisses you, the way his hands move down to your hips to hold you flush against him. Your hands weave into his hair, gripping lightly. Carlos pulls away from the kiss, plump lips moving to kiss your jaw and down your neck. You look into the mirror, and the sight of Carlos ravishing you in his dark attire makes you moan. You could snap a picture of this very moment, you would. 
Your fingers fumble with the hem of those godly black fireproofs, pulling the fabric off his body before greedily running your fingers over his toned abdomen. Carlos does the same for you, lips immediately latching onto your nipple while his other hand massages the other breast. The shower is long forgotten as he backs you up against the sink and tugs your panties down your thighs. You kick them off before allowing him to sit you on the counter and dropping to his knees.
“The only prize I need,” He mumbles, kissing your clit.
“Only for you.” You mumble, watching as he admires your pussy. 
“All mine.” 
He presses his tongue flat against your center, licking agonizingly slow up your cunt before swirling around your clit. Carlos eats you out, like a man starved. His mouth, his lips, his tongue, pulling down right sinful noises from you. You are a whimpering mess, completely at his mercy as he continues to fuck you with his tongue. Your fingers are once again finding their place in his thick hair, pulling him closer against you. Carlos chuckles against you, lips sucking on your bundle of nerves. A squeal bubbles from your throat, head thrown back as intense pleasure rushes over you. You don’t see the way Carlos looks up at you, his golden eyes glazed with lust as he admires the way he makes you feel. He pulls away, middle finger running along your slit before pushing into you. 
“Tan dulce, tan húmedo, todo para mi.” He mumbles before reattaching his lips onto your pink center. So sweet, so wet, all for me.
You can feel it, your orgasm brewing in the pit of your stomach as he strokes your insides. Your pussy clenches around his middle finger, telling him that you’re close. Carlos obliges, adding his ring finger as he begins to fuck you with his slender digits. His tongue is unforgiving against you, fingers not giving up until you are moaning his name over and over, making a mess all over his fingers and chin. 
He stands up, fingers still buried deep inside of you, to pull you into another heated kiss. You sigh against his lips, pulling him closer as you kiss him with just as much fire. He pulls his fingers from inside of you, releasing your lips to lick his fingers clean of your arousal. You watch him, eyes hooded, lips curved into a lazy smirk. Carlos looked sexy before you, hair a mess and his fingers in his mouth as he licks your mess up. He releases his fingers with a pop, hands hoisting you off the counter and turning you around to face the mirror. 
You watch as he undoes his pants, pulling them down his legs and leaving him bare before you. You watch as he steps closer to you, the way his hands grip your waist as he stares at your ass. He gives it a gentle squeeze, a boyish grin on his face at how the soft flesh feels in his calloused hands. He places his free hand on your shoulder, pushing you down gently against the sink. In one swift movement, and with no effort at all, Carlos pushes into you. You both moan at the feeling, how perfectly he fits inside of you. 
Carlos doesn’t move for a moment, eyes shut as he savors the feeling of your soft cunt wrapped around him. “Feel so good mamita. I’ll never get over how good you feel around me.”
And with that, he begins to pump in and out of you. His hands hold your waist, pulling you against him in a sinful rhythm. He starts off slow, truly allowing you to feel the way his thick cock stretches you out. But with each second, he begins to move quicker, rougher. His hips snap against yours, his cock slamming into you over and over and pulling such sinful sounds from you. It’s music to Carlos’s ears. 
“Who makes you feel this good mamita?”
“You. Only you.” You moan, staring at him through the mirror. 
Carlos’s hands grip your forearms, pulling your body up and against him. He hooks his arms through yours, and uses his free hand to grope your breasts. You feel his hot breath against you, panting and moaning as he continues to fuck you. 
“Te amo,” He grunts, pressing a kiss against your neck.
“Te amo.” 
His hand moves from your breast down to your pussy, fingers toying with your sensitive clit. You beg him not to stop, whine his name as he gives into your pleas. You begin to see stars, see the little black dots cutting through your vision as your second orgasm comes over you. Your moans are loud, coming from deep in your throat as you shake in his hold. Carlos is not too far behind, thrusts turning sloppy as he releases himself into you. 
He releases you and you fall over onto the counter. You hear Carlos chuckle, his lips soon on your back as he kisses your clammy skin.
“Estás bien?” 
You nod your eyes closed as you hum in response. 
You inhale sharply when Carlos pulls out of you. He turns your body around to sit you back on the counter, pressing gentle kisses all over your face.
“I’ll start us a bath.” You nod, opening your eyes to look at the love of your life. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”

All I can say is wow
That new episode of One Piece... man big round of applause to the animators and crew and cast behind everything! It was such an absolute joy to watch from start to finish! My mouth was open like 95% of time and I was laughing so hard at some points. What a great time to be alive as an OP fan.
The absolute MVP goes to Tanaka Mayumi for her genius embodiment of Gear 5!!! Luffy's laughter was so contagious—she did such an amazing job with it 🥰
There were so many panels from the manga that I remember were literal peak Looney Tunes that the animators so brilliantly portrayed in this episode... with the most appropriate sound effects!!! Ugh, the whole 20 minutes of it was just spectacular. I cannot wait for the later episodes as we see the rest of the fight play out!!!

Inspired about how you said Miriam is going to have a specific job as an ambassador - PLEASE tell me more about the specific-ass jobs your snakes can have
With pleasure! Most ambassador snakes will have to wear multiple hats and fulfil several of these roles at once, but there are a few pretty specific jobs ambassadors can learn to fill. Here are the roles I think about when I consider each snake's place in my programs!
General ambassador snake roles:
Being good at being held and showing off. Pretty much all ambassadors need to fill this role. Ambassadors can be curious but I do also expect my ambassadors to learn to keep fidgeting to a minimum during programs, with no frantic or excessive movements that might scare kids especially. The best snakes to hold during programs are the ones who learn to hold still and seem to like showing off a bit! There are some snakes who love to just wrap around my arm and observe the crowd, and they're the best here.
Being good at getting passed around. The best snakes here are the ones who like checking out new people and who don't mind getting passed around a crowd. Outgoing, chill snakes are natural fits.
Being good at getting posed. Snakes who don't mind me holding their heads so kids can check out their eyes and heat pits, snakes who are cool with being held up so people can see the pattern on their bellies and how the scales change - chill snakes who are okay with going with the flow during programs.
Being good at holding things. Constrictors are natural fits here to show off how strong snakes are! I keep a few small weights for snakes to hold to show off how strong they can be during programs.
Specific-ass roles:
Being a cool big snake. This is The boa constrictor role at programs. The snake you bring out so people can go "ooh cool. big snake." Also needs to be a chill snake who likes checking out new people because a lot of people love photo ops with them.
Being a local native species. Having local species in programs is a great way to get people interested in local wildlife! For my area, the ones I use in my programs are black ratsnakes and pine snakes.
Being a really smart snake. This is a tough role to fill but it's a good one. Snakes who are smart enough to go through mazes. My old cribo used to be able to knock over plastic cups to get treats. Currently my kingsnake Ed is training to fill this role and he's doing amazing, can't wait to see him in a few months.
Being a hognose specifically. Hognoses are great for two things: they're good for talking about snake venom with a snake who's actually venomous but not medically significant, and they love to demonstrate what a snake burrowing looks like for a crowd. The people love hognoses and I think they're a must for any program!
Strike snakes. Snakes who are happy to strike, wrap, and eat for a crowd. It takes a specific snake to do this well, they can't be shy and they need a great feeding response.
Being the snake you hand to scared kids and people who are trying to get over a fear of snakes. This needs to be an exceptionally calm, gentle, and good-natured snake, preferably one who's cute as a button as well! This specific role is so important because it can make or break how someone feels about snakes.

Meet Theodore Hoffman of San Francisco. He was only 22 years old when he was outed as trans in 1902. The young bellboy's interviews and op-eds represent a rare case of early transgender self-narrative. He was so clearly trans I wish I could reach across time and give him a vial of testosterone.
“I always wanted to be a boy; I always wanted to do things like one," he explained, "I can remember my mother telling me that when I was 1 1/2 years old [in 1882] I always wanted to wear my little brother's clothes. The wish has never left me."
He was orphaned at age 10 in 1890. The young man lived with relatives in Oregon over the following years before traveling to his first bellboy job in Los Angeles. At 21, his move gave him the opportunity to transition. As one reporter put it, "the impulse to be a boy was too strong."
Even though it was 1902, Theo did not think of his gender as a transgression. He wrote, "This is supposed to be a free country, and yet they arrest a person who is quietly minding his own business. And I say 'his' business because I never think of myself as a woman at all."
"When I was 21, I decided to become a man - I was of age, so why not?" Theo found employment at the swanky Nadeau Hotel in Los Angeles. The hotel had the first electric elevator in the city and he served important leaders, politicians, and celebrities from around the world.
Another bellboy, "Little Liz," soon became jealous of Theo's popularity. They fought in the lot outside the hotel after Theo picked up the nickname "Big Liz." He realized he had to find another hotel and soon left for San Francisco by stowing away on a freight train.
Theodore was finally caught at a SF restaurant by an onlooker who recognized him from before his transition. She alerted the police who swiftly arrested him for breaking crossdressing laws. He later lamented, "It is too bad to spoil a good bell boy by trying to make a woman of him."
In jail, Theodore announced he would continue to wear trousers when he got out. This is quite important as it discredits the idea that he simply wanted to reap the benefits of manhood. He had nothing to gain by declaring himself male but continued to anyway. He was trans.
He wished to continue as a bellboy even after he was released from jail. He explained: "To be a bell boy is like getting behind the scenes at the theatre."
The final mentions of Theodore note that he was not charged for his transgression. Despite this amazing story, there's next to no writing on him over the past 120 years! I hope this thread will draw more attention to his narrative.
Theo paved the way for other trans people of his era. He wasn't able to end the unfair crossdressing laws but he helped acclimate California to a new wave of gender trouble. I hope he was able to live the rest of his life in pants. As he put it, "With trousers I get freedom."
Theodore wrote a short autobiography for the unsympathetic SF Examiner in 1902. They blamed his gender upon "trashy novel reading" (not unlike the "social contagion" moral panic today). The full article is fascinating and a great read: www.transreads.org/adventures-in-trousers/

⛰️☀️ABBY MASON 🌿🍂
Tumblr media
Name: Abigail Mason
Nickname(s): "Abby", "Abs" (only by Woods), Kid, kiddo, girl.
Date of birth: February 29th 2012
Age: 18/19 yo (2030)
Height: 1.65m/5.4 ft
Weight: 56 Kg/ 123.5 lbs
Blood Type: O+
Sexuality: Lesbian
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Family:
David Mason (Father) - *Alive*
Alice Johnson (Mother) - *Deceased*
Alex Mason (Grandfather) - *Deceased*
Frank Woods (Adoptive Grandfather) - *Deceased*
Biography:
(Call of duty black ops 2 spoilers!)
Abby is the Daughter of David Mason and Alice Johnson. She was born and raised in an environment full of fun and love. She had a great childhood. But the sad thing is due to her parents job she didn't see them very recently. David in the military and Alice working in the hospital.
But she stayed the majority of her days with the one and only Frank Woods. While her parents worked she was raised by Woods, like he did with David before. She has her best memories with that old man. He taught her a lot of things and told her a lot of stories too.
She loved that old man.
She had an amazing youth until she was 13. One night while visiting Woods in The Vault. They had a strange visit. After all that happened, Menéndez appeared again. Ready to get his revenge for what Woods did years ago. The poor kid didn't know what to do but look. Until suddenly Menéndez aimed a gun at her and shot. She hit the ground holding her chest while she started to bleed out.
Woods couldn't do anything because in the blink of an eye, he got stabbed in the throat with a knife. Abby just could lay there, bleeding out, begging, screaming, witnessing how Menéndez killed the man that practically raised her.
That affected her enormously, and she never was the kid she was once.
Personality:
She was practically raised by Woods, so it's not a surprise that she got a few traits from him. She has a strong personality, not afraid to say what's in her mind, it doesn't matter if she's talking with the fucking president Bosworth herself.
It's hard to gain her trust, she's reluctant and even rude to strangers. But when it comes to friends and family she's pure joy and kindness, she leaves her mean shell aside and she jokes around (usually dark humour), laughs, giggles...
"Abs swears like a sailor but has the imagination of a five year old" - Woods.
She has a really strong bond with her family, it's everything to her, so she would and will do everything for her family.
So it's better not to mess with her but if you earn her trust she will show you that little kid inside her.
Trivia:
Abby is left-handed
Her name was chosen by Woods, he knew that if his Friend Mason would have a daughter would name her Abigail. So in honour of his memory David and Woods named her like that.
She's Allergic to seafood
She doesn't like sweets and is a huge fan of spicy food. Although the next day she will feel as if she has been hit by a truck.
She has one of Woods' tattoos to honour his memory, although she feels a little bit shy when she has to talk about it.
She swears more than she talks. (She spent too much time with old Woods)
Loves talking and reading about space and astronomy. One of her dreams was to become an astronaut.
Wears silly socks with silly patterns.
Although she was raised by a lieutenant commander and an ex-CIA agent, she has a really anarchical mentality. She doesn't believe in rules or the government and she's not afraid to "debate" it.

Regarding Kagome getting hate for being a Mary-Sue if she were more like Sesshomaru, you should know that she still gets the Mary Sue accusations as she is. People call her too “OP” just because she didn’t train enough and because Rumiko said her spiritual powers are naturally more powerful than Kikyo.
They also consider her a Mary-Sue in terms of how much the narrative “glorifies” her (according to them at least) because multiple guys are crushing on her and the fact that it seems the Inugang always takes her side whenever it comes to fights with Inuyasha and she supposedly never has to learn from her faults. They claim Rumiko making her out to be so pure-hearted is also Mary-Suesque and that the narrative pretends that Kagome has no faults that she has to grow from and is perfect personality wise.
Oh, believe me, I'm totally aware. I only used the comparation with Sesshomaru as an example to make the point that no matter what she does, Kagome will get bashed because an especific, biased part of the audience is already phrone on hating her and will make up any excuse to justify it. And you brought up great new other examples.
They call her overpowered but, while her lack of training is a valid criticism, it's not a crime to be naturally gifted. In fact, it's a pretty common trope. What they conveniently "forget" is that raw talent alone is not enough: even though Kagome had a lot of power, she obviously didn't know how to use them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So in the beginning she had to work with what she knew and improvise, showing us other facets of her character, such as her intelligence, creativity, cunningness and inventiveness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nothing was handed over to her on a plate. She had to work for it. There was no official training because she was learning on the job and doing amazing at it. Not because of her reincarnation status or some deus ex machina type of thing, but because of practice, persistence and resilience. If her spiritual powers are naturally more powerful than Kikyo, it only proves that they are different people, who see the world — and by extension, themselves — through vastly different lens, which inevitably bleeds into how they relate with their powers and with other people.
That being said, the narrative never glorifies Kagome and they know it. On the contrary, I'd argue it actually holds her to higher standards than any other character. She's constantly getting tested about her flaws. Just on the top of my head I could list Mount Azusa, the infant incident and that time she saved Kikyo from miasma. But even if her main lesson is that it's okay to have feelings, the narrative will still paint her as wrong again when she does have them.
And even when that doesn't happen, Kagome herself is hyper aware of her own flaws. That's a huge part of her character, due to her feelings of inadequacy. But she's always the first person to hold herself accountable for her actions, admit when she's in the wrong, apologize and make it better.
Now, the Inugang could be more sensible about Inuyasha's predictment — especially Sango, for obvious reasons —, I'll give them that. But Inuyasha doesn't help himself with his poor communication skills, either. All his friends know is that he's hurting Kagome, whom they love, over someone dangerous who has a history of trying to murder him.
As for the "multiple guys crushing on her" thing... I mean, can we blame them? Face card never declines, my God!

Me: I read/watch Delicious in Dungeon for The Plot The Plot (spoilers for S01E14: Sea Serpent and the manga):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Praise be, He is HERE, finally showing his face TWICE even if he's still not in the show yet, but SOON, SOOOOON
He looks so pretty in the OP. Baby look up, to new horizons. Love that he's in both the OP and the ED T-T
I do find it quite funny that even though it's more of a coincidence, we can finally see his face in an episode that is almost entirely Kabru-centric alkdjalj
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't blame him, though. Look at this beautiful man.
(also side note, for Reasons TM, it amuses me that they use goat's blood to revive Kabru :D -Mithrun vibrating in the distance-)
Tumblr media
For Reasons TM this was hilarious because I was writing a post last night about the height difference between Mithrun and Kabru aldkjaljda (Kabru is canonically 5'7", Mithrun is 5'1" - Adventurer's Bible). Extra points that this is in response to Rin accusing Kabru of flirting with Namari.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel with Issues TM just like all my other beloveds. Listen, if I told you how many screencaps I took of Kabru… well. He looks beautiful. 15/10 great job, Trigger, thank you.
Tumblr media
I would also like to insert here: literally every time Kabru is fighting/preparing to fight because holy fuck that was amazing!!! He looked so incredible in every fight! His VA did an amazing job! Gorgeous animation! The direction was so good!
Tumblr media
Look at this happy, excited people watcher. Love him.

HEY!! I’m just wondering if you could do a fic where Tim tells his sister he’s going to be a dad, Genny tells him how proud she is of him, Tim tells her his worry’s about being like their dad and they talk about their past..
[just a Bradford sibling scene]
I hope you enjoy!
HEY!! I’m just wondering if you could do a fic where Tim tells his sister he’s going to be a dad, Genny tells him how proud she is of him, Tim tells her his worry’s about being like their dad and they talk about their past.
Oh sister, (brother)I will help you out Oh, if the sky comes falling down For you
“Hey.” Says Tim sitting at the table across from Genny. He crosses his legs underneath the table and the uncrosses them. He’s not sure why he’s so nervous, this is his sister. Genny raises her eyebrows at him clearly sensing his nervousness.
“What’s up? Why did you want to meet?” She asks and there’s a pause. “Is Lucy okay?” Tim’s lip twitches a little bit at his wife’s name. Lucy is absolutely fine, Lucy is pregnant with their first child and though it was a bit of a surprise especially since she had to pull from an UC OP, it was absolutely amazing news.
He was going to be a dad. Lucy was going to be a mom. They were going to be parents.
And now he was going to tell Genny she was going to be an aunt. He knows she will be thrilled and will love this little baby so much.
“Lucy’s fine. Great actually. We planned to tell you this together but she has to work and—” Tim trails off and Genny’s eyes widen a little.
“What?”
“Lucy’s pregnant. We are having a baby.” He says. Genny’s face immediately breaks out into a smile.
“Oh my gosh Tim!” Genny says and she jumps up from the table to hug him. Tim feels himself relax a little. “That’s wonderful news.” His sister is beaming and he can’t help but smile too.
“Yeah.” He says softly as she sits back down. “It is wonderful.” Genny smiles at him and reaches out to squeeze his hand.
“What’s wrong?” She asks. He blows out a breath and looks up at the clear blue sky. He’s excited and he has been on cloud nine since he found out but the was this seed of doubt pushing through
It was a little voice inside his head that sounded a lot like his father’s. Berating him. Telling him he will never be good enough. Tormenting him. You are just like me son.
“What if I’m like dad?” He asks. Genny reels back a little bit, their father was a sore subject with them. They never really talked about him, he was not Tim’s favorite subject and Genny understood that.
“Tim. You are nothing like our father.” She says fiercely. “You have come so far. You have grown so much and been through so much. And somehow you come out stronger every single time.”
Tim stares at her, the words rolling over in his mind but the seed of doubt still there and growing. It’s tight in his chest and he knows he should talk to Lucy about this too.
“What if I’m someone who shouldn’t have kids?” He asks Genny. “Just like dad? Lucy is going to be a great mom. She already is. She just has this instinct about her but—”
“And you will make a wonderful father Tim.” Genny says. “You have already proven time and time again you are not dad. You never will be. You are such a good man. You found the woman you love, a job you love. Friends and family. Dad never had any of that. He was miserable and you are already proving that you are 100 times the man he ever was. Just by talking it out.”
Tim nods and Genny squeezes his hand again. “I’m so proud of you Tim. You made it through with Isabel and dad. I know it wasn’t easy but you did it.”
“Lucy pulled me out of my spiral.” He says. “I had this darkness and she just made it better.”
Genny smiles. “Lucy is pretty great.” She says and Tim smiles in agreement. “But you are pretty great too Tim.”
There’s a long silence and it’s only broken by Tim tapping on the table nervously. “Do you think we would be where we are today if it wasn’t for dad?” He asks. Genny sighs and leans back pushing some hair behind her ear.
“I don’t know Tim. I didn’t—you protected me.” She says. Tim nods running his hand through his hair. He did protect Genny from their father, he always got the brunt of it. And he would do it again. He never wanted his little sister to be as scarred as he was, traumatized even though she probably was in her own way.
“If I didn’t have all these scars. This trauma of dad..” Tim says and he wonders where he would be. He joined the military, became a cop, got married to Isabel. Divorced Isabel and met the love his life in the middle of all that. He wonders if his father hadn’t been a abusive bastard if he would even be a cop.
“I hate that you went through that Tim.” Genny says. “I’m so grateful you were there to protect me but I hate that you went through it.”
This time Tim squeezes her hands. “I would do it for you Gen. you are my sister after all. It was my job.”
Genny smiles sadly. “You were just a kid Tim.” She says. Tim nods and maybe he wishes things went differently but it wouldn’t change anything. And he would still protect Genny.
He will protect Lucy and their child, he will protect everyone he loves. And he’s going to do his best not to be his father. He can’t be because he already loves this baby more than anything.
“I’m excited for you Tim.” Genny says breaking the silence again.
“You are going to be a great aunt.” He says. “Just don’t spoil my kid too much.”
“Oh like you don’t spoil my kids?” She snaps back. “And I can’t wait to be an aunt. This baby will know nothing but love.”
Tim smiles and nods. That’s his goal, to show this baby and his future children exactly what a family is suppose to be. Love. Unconditional support.
Tim’s phone rings and he smiles when he sees who it is. Lucy. He answers and puts it on speaker phone.
“Hey Luce.” He says. “Genny’s here with me.” Genny looks down at the phone.
“Hey Lucy congratulations. You guys are going to be great parents.” She says and Tim can hear Lucy shuffling around.
“Thanks Genny. You are going to be a great aunt.” Lucy says. Tim smiles at the look on Genny’s face and he knows she’s excited. Just like he is.
He’s going to be a dad.
He has known that for awhile but it’s finally setting in. He’s going to be a dad like he has always wanted with the woman he loves more than life itself.
“Hey Tim. I got to go but I will see you when you get home.” Lucy’s voice pulls him out of his thoughts.
“Okay bye Luce. Love you.” He says and they hang up.
Genny smiles at him. “You know I’m just gonna use this baby to talk smack about you right?” She asks in amusement. Tim groans. Angela said the same thing. But really he wouldn’t have it any other way.
He had a wife and growing family and family and friends who loved him and would do anything for him.
Genny was right, their father never had that. And he was so grateful that he did have it. That he could be the feather he always wanted in his life.
He couldn’t wait to shower this baby with more love than he ever got. He couldn’t wait to be a dad.
He couldn’t wait for Lucy to be a mom and Genny to be an aunt. For his nephews to be cousins.
And he knows this is just the beginning.

the time I trolled 4chan as a fake flat earther for six hours in 2012
In July 2012, I got on 4chan and pretended to be a flat earther. I passionately argued for flat earth theory for six hours with almost no break. I kept a single thread going the whole time, getting over 400 replies. I’m not sure if I still have a PDF of the thread, but I do have some quotes from people who responded to me. Looking back over this a decade later, I am proud.
[CW: Slurs]
"There's no way you're actually this dumb. There's just no way."
"the flat earth society is one of the best trolls i've ever seen, in all those days of /b/"
"I tried some scientific research on this topic a while ago. I ordered a pizza, got two because the first was not what I ordered. I let the first dry out under a light bulb. Eventually, after a couple weeks, living creatures started populating Planet Pizza, after a while orbiting their home planet. This is proof, that the earth is flat. tl;dr Earth is a pizza, probably on a bigger pizza which probably is in a room with an even bigger pizza."
"Sir your thesis contradicts climate, you don't know what refraction is, you can't explain day and night, ebb and flow and you're also paranoid and/or outright stupid since you believe in conspiracy theory."
"You are a stupid faggot, and the whole of society would be better if you stopped breathing it's air. ...unless, of course, you're a troll. In that case, I'll award you an 8/10."
"I however, HAVE BEEN TO SPACE. Twice. I assure you, having orbited the planet many times, it is indeed a sphere. OP is an idiot, his only defense against me is 'omg gimme proof' which I can, and once given, 'u r part of the illuminatee' Ugh. Ignorant dumb ass piece of shit."
"Damn OP 9/10"
"If we dealt with this on a daily basis i would kill myself."
"Yes my jimmies are rustled, because I hate ignorant, inbred fucks like OP. Go die in a hole. Oh wait, you couldn't, you'd be scared of just falling through into space."
"10/10 OP good trolling, keeping in character and sounding legit"
"9/10 OP. My jimmies will be rustled for the whole rest of the day after reading this tripe."
"[S]ome eyebrows must be raised in the direction of the /b/ros still continuing to argue about this. Better standard should be expected from you guys, but taking away nothing from OP. Excellent work."
"If you're not a failtroll you are, by far, one of the most deluded and idiotic people I've ever seen post on /b/, which is a tremendous feat."
"9/10 for commitment"
"love this thread op 10/10 for still being here." (This was three hours in.)
">Focuses on the obscurely worded >Ignores every other point >Provides no answers About what I was expecting."
"Go hung yourself, please Humanity doesn't need such stupid people like you are"
"I'd believe someone who says the earth is flat compared to someone who claims otherwise and can't grammar correctly."
"I haven't laughed so hard at something on /b/ for a long time."
"OP, I'm not gonna bother asking you anything. I just wanted to let you know this is the best thread I have seen as long as I can remember. You truly are amazing. Good fucking job."
"nice arguments though i am in awe of your reckless faggotry and ignorance and skills of producing believable logical fallacies."
(Four hours in) "I can't believe this thread is still going. OP is the most successful troll of all time."
">Earth is flat >Every other celestial body is round >mfw 1/10"
"Great thread. You are not a troll, I saw you other times here and I knew personally a man from this society."
"holy shit 0 of fucking 10"
"Billiard balls are also flat. Isn't it obvious that they sprites?"
"10/10 OP wins"
">almost 5 hours of this shit 10/10"
"Big respect OP. OP is alpha as fuck"
"but seriously, OP is the man destroying everyone with his devasting arguments for hours huge respect man if i would suck a cock then I'd suck yours and I'd propably come before you do"
"3/10. Painfully obvious troll, yet impressive to see so many anons actually failing to make a compelling argument."
"Willy Wonka travelled around the world in 80 days, and ended up back where he started, just in time for tea. You can't explain that."
"Did you ever wonder what happened to Amelia earhart? She flew too far. Gov't shot her down past the ice wall. They obviously couldnt have her come back from that trip, she would tell everyone"
"I myself subscribe to modern rational empiricism, in accordance to which OP's arguments are absolute bullshit. And yet the attempts to challenge his unfalsifiable beliefs have proven mostly futile. A great majority of those posting in this thread have no idea why they should believe the earth is round."
"There has to be trolling here, I seriously can't believe what I am reading."
"this is beyond epic"
"I'm starting to enjoy this so i'm upping you from a 2/10 to an 8 but it ends now."
"OP is now argueing since 6 hours. This is the longest discussion I've ever seen in my life. Of ALL discussions, not only 4chan."
"arguments presented thus far by flatty: >did you personally do the experiment? no? then the results are invalid >here's my evidence; as demonstrated in this experiment someone else did also >oh; you did the experiment itself and it basically shows that the earth is round? >there's probably crazy gravity or some shit; hell if i know or >just because we can't explain every one of these phenomena and a spherical model can doesn't mean we're wrong. i'm serious you guys also >pictures lie and you should never believe them; despite mind boggling quality and quantity available for universal use online"
"Explain how we can have fat asses and tennis balls but a flat fucking earth."
"9/10 OP, well done!"

what would the terran's reactions be to like.... megatronus prime/the fallen or liege maximo?? or any of the 13 originals tbh, and that in alot of continuities op is kind of implied (if not straight up said) to be the thirteenth?
Yknow, actually this gives me a great opportunity to somewhat explain how my AU has the Primes.
I may write a fic off of this, actually.
Anyway: here we go.
Prima
All are somewhat enamored with the whole concept of them basically being their god. Finds their rumored appearance quite cool, and finds it cool that the Matrix is in their sword.
The Fallen/Megatronus Prime
Not quite so fond. Weird, creepy, none of them like him. Thrash genuinely could not roll his optics any harder at his ‘tragic backstory’ that people wrote to make him sympathetic.
Alpha Trion
Kinda interesting. Kept track of history, ran an archive, held onto the matrix between Primes after the others were all dead, originally thought to be basically immortal with how long he lived? Even though he wasn’t actually a true prime, apparently. And did eventually die, but body was never actually recovered. Mysterious, and kind of interesting, overall.
Nexus Prime
Cool as balls. There’s not much else to say, they just think he’s cool as hell. Still don’t quite understand the whole combining thing, but it sounds a little cooler now.
Vector Prime
There are so many possibilities, that it simply blew their tiny newspark processors. Probably the coolest so far.
Solus Prime
Tied with Vector. Originally from the original myth, they weren’t too interested. But hearing the bit from Optimus completely separate from myth, they immediately loved Solus. Thrash loves the hammer, Hashtag thinks it’s very girlboss of him to even exist, Twitch loves the whole ‘can make really cool weapons with the hammer’ thing, Jawbreaker thinks the story overall is pretty inspiring, and kinda cute (albeit somewhat tragic) that he died very quickly after his partner, and was the one who caused the ‘partners/conjuxes come to the hall as well’ thing, Nightshade is very enamored with him being trans. Overall, it’s a hard tie with Vector.
Amalgamous Prime
The shifting bit is awesome. They understand the Decepticons a bit better, and understand better why they even exist in the first place. HT also thinks he has mad rizz for having seduced an Autobot like that.
Liege Maximo
The fact that this bitch is meant to be like their version of satan is kinda… they’re honestly perhaps 5% impressed, at most. And the whole ‘point of origin for all decepticons’ is really laughable to them.
“…at least he’s kinda sexy…?” - Jawbreaker
Alchemist Prime
Kinda boring, but also super cool in that chill uncle way. Also fun that he fucked off from the war and ran a bar. Amazing. Quality decision making skills.
“Like Tarantulas, but in a holy way. And a lot more popular/intimidating.” - Nightshade
Onyx Prime
They think he’s kinda cool, being a big beastformer space pope. Nightshade and Jawbreaker especially like him.
Micronus Prime
Twitch thinks he’s kinda cool, being probably as little as her. Really shows that someone as small as her can be great like that.
Quintus Prime
They all have a unique fascination with him, even if pretty boring. Nightshade is especially interested by the fact that he’s the scientist of the bunch.
Thirteen
The original written myth of Thirteen is incredibly bland to them, and Thrash remarked that clearly they didn’t do a good job. However, when brought the idea of them being Amalgamous’s sparkling, a shifter just like him, and agender, they were all far more interested, and found them a little bit cooler. However, with still so little known, they’re not very interesting compared to the others.
Nova Prime
The fact that he’s known for having not been the best person, yet still respectable enough as ‘The Master Kindler’ and having reintroduced Kindling to table now that the wells were dying, really interests them. Also find it cool how Nova is genderfluid.
“Girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep. 👌” - Hashtag
Sentinel Prime
They’re pretty confident that the very fact that Optimus refused to say his name is enough to say he’s clearly not a very good person, and being told of all that he’d done in his time, they all decidedly hated him.
Optimus Prime
Optimus refused to share very much about himself, beyond his own achievements throughout his reign. They think even higher of him than before. Megatron later revealed that a downside is that he is a loner/introvert & a/antisocial, and usually rather cold/not very personable with people outside of his personal circle of ‘loved ones’.
Rodimus Prime
Nothing was said to his current location, but was noted that he is currently ‘in-training’/not fully a ‘Prime’ yet (won’t be until Op steps down/passes), generally quite polite and sweet if shy, quite strongly religious but really quiet about it, Captain to a crew on a neutral ship, remains neutral himself rather than aligned, a peacetime leader compared to Optimus being a ‘wartime leader’, and technically the true Prime of the reign the Terrans were born under, so they’d be Rodimus’s rather than Optimus’s.
Twitch is even more fond of him, and the others a little more impressed/interested into the prospect of doing a little research into him and those comics.
«—-–-—»
This is canon divergent, so things don’t completely align up with canon.
I happen to HC Solus as TransMasc/FtM & had a female lover, Amalgamous as the original Decepticon leader & have had an ex-Autobot lover + two sparklings, Alchemist as being a ‘peacetime leader’/kept the peace until he died (of old age), and Nova as having revived the practice of Kindling and very protective over sparklings + genderfluid.
Thx.

While there wasn’t anything at the 2023 Game Awards about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, there was a small protest group outside the building that was about unionizing in game development and the large amount of layoffs this year in the industry. BioWare isn’t mentioned by name but Keyword Studio’s union is mentioned ! Here’s my scans of their brochure they were handing out if anyone is interested!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Updated to add alt text for those with screen readers
[begin alt text]
The Game Awards 2023: The Best Year for Games
The Worst Year for Game Workers
Protesting a year of layoffs
[next page]
The 2023 game industry: $188 billion in revenue
9000+ Layoffs (source: LA Times, videogamelayoffs.com)
…and that’s surely an undercount. It’s hard to overstate just how disastrous this has been for the workers who actually make games and for the health of the industry as a whole.
More layoffs means more competition for fewer open positions. More competition means lower wages and burnout. Burnout and lack of positions force workers out of the industry.
All that talent, gone. And those that remain still suffer! The work piles up in fewer desks, you don’t know if your next. These are poor conditions for working, let alone for the creativity and care needed to create games.
[next page]
Welcome to The Game Awards 2023: She’ll of an Industry Edition
This year has been full of amazing games from Hi-Fi Rush to Armored Core VI.
Unfortunately, the workers creating these games have seen the worst layoffs in decades.
We’ve lost our livelihoods, our colleagues, and our passion. We’re forced to accept lower pay or leave the industry, joining an exodus of talent that grows by the day.
This year has been nothing less than a crisis for the industry.
But we can fight this. Over the last two years, workers have been organizing into unions to defend themselves, and building worker cooperatives to create the spaces we deserve.
We need to keep up the pressure to prevent the collapse of the real industry: the workers that make it.
[next page]
Anti-Union Retaliation
Unions are finally here! They took the industry by storm in 2022 and beyond, but the fight is not over.
Keywords Edmonton United and the Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS-CWA) have been harassed and threatened, and even subjected to illegal targeted firings for daring to stand up to the bosses.
Generative AI
Generative AI is built on the stolen art, writing, voices, and even bodies of artists and actors, and companies aim to use it to replace them.
Even programmers that work on AI aren’t safe. Code-generating AI is here, and threatens to make junior positions even scarcer.
And while these systems have been pushed to replace labor, workers have still needed to fix the generated material, because it’s not that good.
Games are an artform— we should not be automating away human creativity
[next page]
Fight Back
Unions
Tip the balance of power in your workplace! As a union, you can fight the whims of shareholders and save you and your fellow workers’ jobs and dignity!
No more security escorts as you clean out your desk. No more getting locked out of the office without notice. No more finding out you’re unemployed from a press release.
Talk yo your coworkers, party up, level up, and prevail!
Worker Cooperatives
Worker cooperatives are owned and operated by workers. This is a great alternative for workers who are tired of the traditional corporate model and want to take control of their creativity and labor.
Game co-ops are gaining around! Check out KO_OP, Soft Not Weak, Black Flag, Future Club, and more!
[next page]
What You Can Do
1. Wear our pins into the theater! Don’t let security take them, but record them if they do!
2. Post about the layoffs with #TheGameAwards, so it can’t be ignored!
3. Talk to your coworkers privately about unionization- the more people are unionized, the easier it gets and the lore leverage we have.
