#i've never been called a 'meme god' before and I don't think any compliment will ever top that #but srsly did you read my mind or what bc I wasted most of yesterday night making +30 of these (i'm stupid) #it's ok it's not like i'm an adult with a job and commitments and a new ikea table to assemble #at least i had fun making these despite my 0 editing skills (sorry btw) #merlin #merlin memes #screenshots of despair

Wait, does the cheating thing on the bond always works? bcs that would be kinda freaky for R!Dipper like imagine you get pinned down by someone in the corner of a br or smthng and then said person kissed you and proceeded to explode into red mist and you literally have no idea what happened.

Also, would the constellation mark be a "cursed" Mark over the years, like you would give birth to a baby and the doctor says "😟 I am so sorry ma'am,,, I'm afraid your baby has the Cipher Companion mark. ( could also be something equally as science-y like Ursa Major, Constellation Calamation, etc idk)" And you just burst into tears.

Would that mean that dipper would get into a special program(demon wrangling program or smthng, demonologist? Maybe)? Or would the parents hide it away hoping that Bill would never take their child away?

(Sorry this au is just very interesting to me,,,, I hope u get more motivation, keep writing author 💪)

These are all options! The fun part of reincarnation AU being left ambiguous is that technically any of them could happen.

#Answers #Okay but for full transparency #I never really figured out what the 'cheating' consequence is #It's a nebulous concept since I've never had to write it happening #And left ambiguous because neither of these two are into anyone else - and as a writer I like to leave my options open! #I would assume that one of the few things they agreed on when making the contract was that unwelcome advances didn't count as cheating #But that the villain in question would get what was coming to them. Very Violently. They wanna step on a landmine? Let 'em have it #Dipper would have made a frowny face at the violence but agreed. Privately thinking well that's actually a *bonus* #A built-in defense system of sorts #(Something Bill was also thinking but absolutely phrased in the possessive aspect) #Whether or not the Consequences kick in before they meet again - their equivalent of their vow renewal - is up for grabs #Dipper trying to fend off someone only to have them burst into flames and/or blood would feel a terrified sense of relief #Who knows! Maybe Dipper has protection but has a chance for other actions before they meet again! #But the odds of that occurring are very slim. Partly due to his general awkwardness #And distinct hesitation on Dipper's part. Even though he *thinks* he should be enthusiastic #He looks at the person he's in bed with and just. It feels weird. Maybe because he hasn't (in his memory) done this before #Great job Dipper!! Someone in your bed and the best you can do is kinda grimace. Real sexy. #If he does ever manage to get up to something it's not even a tenth of the time he has with his husband #Dipper reincarnations are all very unfortunately attracted as hell to Bill Cipher and they're deeply alarmed by it #I do like the idea of different parental groups finding Dipper's birthmark and having different reactions #Perhaps a random incarnation of one of his family members ends up in charge of him one time #The results would vary *wildly* depending on who it was #On a scale of Mabel Mom to Ford Uncle how are you preparing this person for his invitable enhusbanding #(Stan remains pretty much the same but has a lot of bad marriage advice) #Wow that's a lot of tags even for me #I am going to queue this and sleep

things seen while jogging (part 32)

#hummingbird #birds #things seen while jogging #this episode brought to you by: me being in therapy again! 🎉 #which is a very good thing btw! i'm getting help with my overworking :') #i've never had a fulltime job before so it's good to get some outside guidance on how to handle all the public speaking and leadership roles #and part of that guidance is that i need to RETURN TO MY MINDFULNESS ACTIVITIES.... #like stopping to take pictures while outside :''') #it's so hard to be sane in this world but i'm gettin thru it lmao

Almost beat my past record. Worked a retail job for 3 months before getting hospitalized for combination chronic illness and infection. Now I gotta figure out how to reduce my hours OR get fired in lieu of quitting so I qualify for unemployment

#3-6 months is my average to maximum for doing a job before I end up in the hospital #@ SSI give me disability bitch #I've literally never had a job for more than half a calendar year

[horrorlesbians]

i think im gonna apply for that events job and if they don't hire me it isn't the end of the world, i will still have my current job. but it will be weird because literally every job and internship I've applied to I've gotten

#🦌 #and i've never had to quit a job before bc all my jobs either were summer things or had internship end dates :|

if I don't see and hug my boyfriend soon I'm gonna kill everyone and then myself i miss him so much i'm going crazy

#my anxiety is through the roof this month and i just need to be HELD!!!! and to hold. #because with my graduation and my new shitty job and still looking for a better job and moving out of the dorm #and looking for a new apartment while not being slavic and keeping my moving in with my bf a secret from my mom #because she's traditional and she's gonna flip #and i HATE lying #it's just too much stress for my little body and I've never had to handle so much unknown shit before #and he's working too so we barely see each other now #so I need him to ground me or something because i feel like I'm losing my mind and doing absolutely everything wrong #also i love him terribly and haven't seen him for two weeks. that's also a thing

before and after editing 💀

#i should start complaining about coloring h&r like i do about killjoys #i mean what the fuck is this lighting?? #is it just the webdl rip because it's always been a little iffy #like. some frames are duplicates that you have to delete or the gif looks weird #what is up with THAT #it's so annoying 'cause even though i made my own action for it #i've given up using it 'cause it almost never actually does the job #then you just have to manually delete every. fifth. frame. #but sometimes it randomly changes?? that's why the action doesn't work #i've literally never had this problem with any other media that i've giffed. baffling tbh #my gif #i should really just make a before/after tag... #before and after editing 💀 #that's the tag i'm too lazy to come up with a better one

me and the work girlies having socialist convos at the end of the day

#funny as hell like. we finished our workload about half an hour early #because they've hired so many of us temps. who are improving at the job each day #that there's just been less to spread around #yet bc work culture is dumb our manager suddenly told everyone to push the carts we'd already sorted #into a square in the middle of the floor? which we've never done before #and the permanent staff had no idea why either. they were also confused but resigned #I passed one and said ''hey so is this just because we have 20 minutes of the shift left'' #and she just laughed and shrugged and was like idk ask him lmaooo #definition of busywork #so we're all just standing around for 10 minutes until the manager starts calling people over to move... other stuff idk. #and I'm walking to join them when this small group of coworkers behind me goes HEY #you don't need to go. look he's got enough people and he's not looking stay heeere #so we just end up swapping stories about the managers giving us tips to process the conveyer faster #even tho we uhhh work SO hard already. :) #and one woman went ''I was thinking. ummm. I could go faster. but you gonna pay me more??? so I worked slower ❤️'' #nothing but respect for us grunts here tho vs the management. I've never known a single person in the 3 weeks I've been here #to not come and help someone who looks busy on the opposite conveyer when theirs is slow #turns out people are naturally nice and helpful when you don't take advantage and try and make them work harder #bosses will never learn this <3

why must i go to work i simply wish to walk in nature, make art, and play the ttrpg

#:( #mun talk #*shakes my fist* #and this is while i'm working the best job of my life #admittedly the bar for best is on the floor #it literally gives the bare minimum basic kind of decency a job ought to #which i've never had before #but SILL #I WAS MEANT FOR VIBING AND MAKING ART AND READING BOOKS

[anotherpapercut]

sometimes people will ask me about working in a library and I have to find a gentle way to tell them they literally would not last a day working in a public library

#i do not care what customer service jobs youve worked before. nothing will prepare you for library patrons #some real things from the log we keep of problems: a woman bringing in a squirrel #several people bringing snakes #a man being tazed repeatedly by cops in the middle of the room #today a guy set the building next door on fire then came in here and the cops had to come arrest him #unfortunately there are many overdoses in our bathrooms #sometimes people will just start fist fighting each other right in front of everyones books #sooooooooooo oh sooooooooooo many creepy people calling us repeatedly to masturbate to women reading things out loud #something that happens shockingly often is patrons typing their email address into google and screaming at us bc were hiding their emails #or like they dont know their password so the scream at us for not having that #a gentleman once began flinging feces at employees at one branch #once i was leaving work and someone FILMED ME and we literally never found out why #I've known many many people whove been stalked by patrons. one who had her house broken into #its a labor of love

honestly I'd love to get paid to transcribe podcasts/fix auto subtitles and stuff like that but my understanding of grammar apparently isn't enough to apply to any companies that'd accept freelancers because they have hyperspecific style guidelines o|-< please. i Like checking things for accuracy and copying things down. i would love to make a money doing it.

#yessutext #i CAN follow style guidelines when they're given i just need to be able to refer back to it bc i'm not going to retain it at first look #the ones that cater to big businesses need you to have like english major grasp on writing and it drives me crazy! #one test i only failed because they wanted perfect accuracy and i misinterpreted whether a job title had to be capitalized. #the other was a company who does 'clean reads' which i've never seen before so of course i don't fully understand how to do them!! #i like working with verbatim! but then everyone else has a different way they want to WRITE verbatim! #the third i got rejected on was only because i didn't understand how they would label “erm” bc the options were 'eh' or 'uh' #and their style guide ONLY mentioned writing it as [uh] so i assumed that's how they did all filler noises and was wrong UGGHHHGG

Guys, I hate making posts like these but...I need to say it:

Please, I am politely asking/respectfully begging y’all to leave comments on my fics.  I never thought I would be one of those writers who beg their readers for comments but...here we are.

Like I am not kidding, I get more kudos than comments, which is fine but like...I want comments.  I used to complain about getting too many comments and not enough kudos but now it’s the complete opposite! 

Like, it doesn’t take that long to just leave a “I liked it!” or an “I enjoyed this!” or even a freaking heart emoji.  You don’t have to leave me a whole ass book report, anything is fine.  (But I will cry if you leave me a book report, those are my favorite types of comments).

Even on my devil judge fics I’m not getting comments.  And I used to get comments on them all the time.  And now I just get kudos!  Not even bookmarks!  (And for the Killer and Healer fandom, because it’s a lot smaller, the numbers are down for them too!)

I’m trying to be grateful for the attention that I’m given, I really am, but I swear I just feel like I’m posting into the void and it’s just kind of like...what’s the point of spending all this time and effort into something if no one’s going to appreciate it?  (I’m not saying that y’all don’t cuz I know you do it’s just...)

And like...I think the thing that’s so frustrating is that like, I reblog ask games that are like “ask me about my fics” or “get to know me as a writer” and it’s just like...I want to talk to people about my fics!  I want to talk about my writing and to just explode and share and ramble and everything and it’s just...I don’t know. 

I know people have lives and what not and when I finally get a job, I’ll have less time to spend on writing and on doing fandom shit (not like I’ll stop of course, I’ll just have less time in the day to focus and spend time on that) so like I get it, it’s just...*heavy sighs*

I’m rambling and I’m on my soapbox so I’ll just get off now

#sass rants #is this a rant? #yeah yeah it is #in my 10+ years of writing i've NEVER had to literally fucking beg people to leave comments before #but here we are #i'm also just in a bad headspace right now because i'm currently applying for jobs and i haven't heard anything back yet #and it's getting close to graduation #and i'm planning on moving soon #so it's just a lot of pressure and stress and frustration #and i think the frustration is pouring over here into my frustration about the lack of comments and shit #long story short #i'm frustrated #i'm just frustrated
