#and know we should deffo do something sometime

[thatdeadaquarius]

That language SAGAU but the Reader can only communicate writing on paper.

Either the Reader is mute and they (characters) don't know/understand sign language or they somehow lost their voices on their transmigration to Teyvat and can only write now. But the characters are left trying to decipher what the Reader wrote.

Examples:

Kaeya: "I may say, that was very unexpected your grace. One such as yourself should be more aware of who you are."

Reader: "wat, y u sayin dat?"

×

Gorou: "Oh, your grace! Careful now. I am most certain that you stepped on something unsightly right now. Let me clean your feet, your grace."

Reader: "r u srs rn? Fml"

Ooooo, this is nice, this is niiccceeee /ref

this would be the energy⬇️

Man I love this show, I gotta finish it (it’s Komi Can’t Communicate for those who want to see it) where she basically is too shy/introverted to speak (non-verbal neurospicy it seems like to me actually lol) and really wants to make friends and do normal things despite not speaking, her main way of communicating is writing (and her first guy friend who can just read her facial/body language really well lmao)!!

This kinda falls into that post I made abt texting lingo, abt us being nigh incomprehensible when using texting lang. (its basically a code lol)

but i think it’s always neat to see nonverbal rep so here we are (also i think imma go ahead and say it is both selectively mute but also enforced by video game laws!)

u know a good explanation would be for this is actually abt how we technically are only allowed to freely communicate when we’re in chats,

so I could see that still being the only way we can commnicate in Teyvat (look am i little excited abt taking “video game world” a little too literally in every genshin AU ever- maybe.)

tbh i could see so many allogenes having to either learn to make room for you in convos and u also having to get wayyy more expressive in body language/facial expressions

tbh i think itd be pretty easy to get ur meaning, like in a battle or smth fast-paced where u couldnt write, like how Tinker Bell can?

if u dont know what i mean just search “tinkerbell scenes peter pan” on youtube and u can see ppl just having a full conversation with no words with her, which i think would deffo happen with ppl like Kaeya, Lisa, Lumine, Venti, Heizou, Ayato, Yae Miko, Thoma, Beidou and Itto surprisingly i could see it (ppl in the distance just think theyre all talking to themselves sometimes when ur not as visible hehe)

OMG they get u nice gifts for writing all the time, like the newest compact pens from Fontaine, the finest small, medium, and large notebooks from Inazuma,

like a little compact pocketbook so u can easily fit it in pockets!

u know Im absolutely sure you could literally start the texting appreviation trend in Tevyat like this-

like just so it’s easier to communicate with you, a lot of people are willing to adapt/take on abbreviations like “ttyl, gtg, wth, lol, lmao” even stuff like “etc”

lol u start a whole trend in the writing letters business, hehe silly medieval Teyvat is silly and medieval

yknow I think the quieter vision users would definitely find you to be peaceful to be around and easy to understand just with writing (also deffo most likely to adore the soft moments together of just ur pen scribbling and the sounds of nature or a cafe or something around them),

tbh i also think these ppl would be motivated to talk to you alone, or get you away to just talk the two of you for all the reasons above, like Xiao, Aether, Kazuha, Ayaka, Chongyun, Zhongli, Diluc, Sayu, Ei, Sucrose, Eula, Ganyu, Ningguang, Tighnari, Alhaitham omg he might literally be able to take his headphones off around u bc youd be in such quiet spaces all the time, and bc u dont talk he doesn’t have to worry abt u getting loud either lmao

…and then ofc, there’s the bitches that try and guess what ur writing ahead of timeeee 😭

bein all like, “Uh… you.. would like.. to go to… a restaurant… to get some- OH OH I got this one this time! Some pita pockets! …Oh. A drink. Right. Sorry, again.”

definitely Itto, Cyno, Heizou, Xingqiu, Fischl, Amber, Collei, Dehya, Wanderer, Childe, Venti, Keqing (she just used to being fast ok), Kaveh lmao

I hope my reply was a little fun!! THANK U FOR SENDING THIS I LOVE THIS SM!! Man it’s so hard to make you feel my appreciation for this idea thru the damn screen

Jenson Button x FamousReader!2009

this is like a second part (can be read individually) to THIS. Here’s just some more headcannons of what it would be like when Jenson is in a relationship with a famous British celeb who’s extremely popular, especially amongst the party scene. warnings: mentions of sex, oral sex, nothing too graphic but I just knowww Jenson gets down and dirty. mentions of alcohol and some drug use? not to glamorise it we all know celebs ain’t innocent ok. for this case 18+ 😇

Jenson is a cutie ok, the more he falls in love with his SO the more he finds himself looking out for her in the garage. Whether this be before or after his race, just imagine his head poking out of his car, or he’s fully suited, helmet still on, glimpsing around trying to find her.

lots of cuddles, he’d keep an arm slung around her, especially if they’re in public where there’s paparazzi- in that case he’s keeping an extra tight grip on her.

despises the paparazzi ok- he’s a polite man, pretty tame, but British press in the 2000s were VILE and for his girlfriend, he can’t stand the idea of them even looking at her.

helps shields her eyes when the flashes are too bright.

Taxis home together at questionable hours of the morning, limbs sprawled over each other and getting caught snogging in the backseats.

drunk sex- especially when he wins the championship, he’s so smug and proud, fucking into her with all his energy, cos he’s world champion baby 😏. lovesss seeing her legs pinned up over his shoulders.

thanks his girl publicly after he wins his championship.

as I mentioned in the part prior to this, Jenson LOVES going on holiday with her, like he’s a bit of a perv when it comes to seeing y/n in a bikini, especially after he’d already seen to many shoots of her before even meeting each other.

never admits to being a fanboy of her but the smirk would say otherwise.

getting down and dirty on a yacht, hidden by a beach towel whilst he fingers her, he has his sunnies on and he’s smirking, pressing kisses to her temple and whispering sweet nothings.

“you’re doing so good aren’t you?” “all these people taking pictures of you and nobody has a clue what we’re doing.” “should put on a show for them, shouldn’t we?”

so mf dirty, his British accent makes it 10x sexier too.

sex in the pool of a yacht, and every single room in there, wants to try everything with her, but he isn’t pushy in the slightest- Jenson wouldn’t ever come close to making her feel uncomfortable.

They’d deffo see pictures released of them both the next day and giggle because nobody would have a clue what was happening under that towel.

can be really soft in sex, like stroking her face, talking her thru it -omfg I need him.

Deffo wants to try like anal, and certain kinks- I feel like she would too, idk when they’re both drunk they’d decide they wanna try something and sometimes it’s an utter fail.

other times it’s just giggly, exciting sex where they’re both eating fucking whipped cream off one another or something.

soft, gentle moans from him, especially when the sex is more passionate, when it’s rougher I feel like he’d be quiet but let out some grunts whenever he’s out of breath or gets really into it.

He’s a sucker when she goes down on him, like he’s a mess omg- if there’s one way to elicit moans from him that’s exactly how and she’s soooo good at it- he makes plenty of public innuendos about this.

I feel like y/n would wear the smallest little mini skirts, like she’s a Y2K queen and befriends lots of other wags at this stage- constantly pictures walking around the paddock looking cool asf.

Deffo a trend setter, but they’re the type of couple in 15 years that the younger generation look at and go ‘they’re together?!?’

as they get older they deffo become more private, but not secretive.

can spot each other in a crowd instantly, when he wins a race you best expect him to practically JUMP onto her, sometimes he forgets he’s bigger than her lmao.

The cameras go CRAZY for this and their faces are printed all over the newspapers.

Quiet, lazy mornings in England, especially when it’s cold out and Jenson finally has time off- the two of them can really appreciate the quiet side of life at home.

makes him want to settle down- but I think he’d be worried at first about bringing a child into the world- they’re having too much fun with each other, but I think they would calm down after a few years.

occasional bickers, maybe they both walk out of a nightclub and she’s storming ahead of him with a face like a slapped arse. Jenson would make a comment and y/n would be pissed that all the onlookers heard.

Y/n and Jenson’s relationship on the rocks?!

bitch the next morning he’s on top of her having the best make up sex ever.

Seriously their stamina is insane so they fuck like rabbits.

I feel like because y/n maybe has grown up in the public eye? Or fame came in her teens, her behaviour can be fairly erratic at times- like especially before Jenson the partying and boozing was out of control, but being a few years older he really settles her down in life.

like not that she’s troubled (I’m not gonna glamorise it but it’s real life) but it can’t be easy dealing with everything and fame at a young age, I feel like Jenson would take care of her at times, like if she gets wayyyy to drunk he wouldn’t lecture her, but he’d deffo have this sad look on his face, clearly he’s worried.

she’s ok tho, especially with him and like I said she settles down and matures a lot with Jenson.

She’d probs smoke weed every now and then and idk if Jenson would like it, especially when he’s so focused on racing, but he tries it once or twice and would probs just fall asleep immediately.

I feel like he’s so cuddly at times, like in the middle of the night he’d just snuggle up to her. So cute. On holiday on sunbeds he’d be so cuddly, grabbing at her and it causes for some really cute paparazzi pictures.

not to glamorise droogz and drinking but them two probably party a lot in the first year together.

Jenson is the type to eye his gf up from the other side of the room, nods her over or something sexy.

hand would start on your shoulder and end up on her ass- so many headlines the next day…

But yeah they’re such a popular, attractive couple, you either want to be with them or want to be them.

Ah don’t mind me, just another lil rant about the silly lil podcast show…

[an excerpt from a message I sent over discord]

You know I’ve been thinking. The Magnus Archives. The “fears” and “entities”.

I’m unsure why or how these entities [exist] but my theory is that they are manifested over time/intensity. With enough people [feeling] afraid, this sorta,,, energy manifests into its own being. Almost like a god of our own creation.

[A cage we build ourselves in?]

However that being said, why only fears?

[Why are only the fears being manifested into dangerous forces?]

"Newton’s third law for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction."

If there is fear made manifest then there should also be hope manifested. A way to counteract the negative with the warmth of positive. Like I get it, this is a horror podcast taking place in London. This is the least optimistic setting ever.

But am I really stupid for holding out hope? Pointing out a way to counteract these destructive forces?

For example, the opposite to Distortion is Clarity. The opposite to Lonely is Community. Even if there aren’t entities of positivity, we can make it up inside ourselves, methinks.

The fears seem relentless. Extremely unforgiving. And I understand that the entities are indifferent at best. But I just hrnrmejdmm.

I feel silly being so stubborn against [the idea that] disparity is the only thing available.

[May I have some reassurance?]

Additional thoughts...

If anti-entities exists, then they go unnoticed. Love is quiet and undemanding. It goes unnoticed until it is gone. Until we notice something is wrong, that is when fear comes in. Fear is a very very powerful thing. It is also very very hard to overcome. Especially in these instances where people are at the mercy of merciless beings. It's heartbreaking to realize there can be no way out of a terrible situation. You just gotta,, accept it all. Accept that perhaps you're wrong, perhaps you're going to die, perhaps the things you face in life can (and will) change you forever. Tragedy is inevitable but what you do with it next is what matters. Methinks.

Humanity is filled with fear, love, but most importantly resilience.

These three things are built into the core of all living beings. To focus only on what is terrible is an insult to all the good that goes around.

(This deffo can go the other way around too. I mean, when you got a monster chasing you, you can't just turn around and go,

"Awh man how abwout we all wuv eachothwer? QwQ."

You're gonna fricken die if you do that...most likely.....Just,,, don't risk it.)

So yeah, perhaps I am going to die. But I'm going to go out of this world the same way I came in: Kicking and screaming.

The fears are relentless. The fears are resilient. And guess what? So are we. After all, the entities did (theoretically?) come from us. It's only natural the supernatural is an exaggerated reflection of reality.

Sometimes you gotta fight back with the power of friendship...and blunt force damage. And guns. Or arson...

I might be getting off track. Haha.

Points brought up and tied together...

"I’m unsure why or how these entities [exist] but my theory is that they are manifested over time/intensity."

"Love is quiet and undemanding."

"Fear is a very very powerful thing."

People are naturally going to pay attention to the negative. Tis a survival response! The reason these entities may be prevalent is because humanity as a whole focuses on the negative.

The Magnus Institute is where people go to have their negative (and straight up weird experiences) to be collected. So if the victims of the entities are coming to the institute, then the entities and avatars themselves are bound to come to the institute too! It's like Mentos in a coke bottle of bad vibes. It's gonna explode. (Omg if this turns out to be a literal explosion happening in the archive I am going to flip my lid.) ((Context the last episode I’ve listened to is uhhhh episode 32???)) The bad things recorded seem to be the only things happening because that is where our attention is focused on. There isn't much reason to collect information from people who have had good times and miracles happening. (From a listener standpoint, not exactly the most entertaining or spooky thing to listen to. If I want to hear that then I'd go to church or talk to Facebook moms.) OKOK THE POINT!!!

The reason why "anti-entities" may or may not exist is either because:

The cumulative love of humanity isn't enough to manifest as strong as an entity derived from fear.

OR

The (potential/theoretical) entities here to help people go unnoticed due to not being focused on. It doesn't go out of its way recruiting people to do their bidding because that's just not how they function. Edit: I have part 2 of my think thoughts [HERE]. I wanted to let you know in case people are wanting to know more about my good ol thinky inky thoughts.

hiii omg so sorry i haven't been in your inbox! finals have been sweeping me away, but i've been lurking 👁️👁️ ok so i was listening to my playlists and had some #thoughts, so I shall share them to make up for the time i was gone 🤝😎 ----- I Want to Write You a Song - One Direction

I want to lend you my coat One that's as soft as your cheek So when the world is cold You'll have a hiding place you can go I want to lend you my coat Everything I need I get from you Givin' back is all I wanna do (…) I want to write you a song One to make your heart remember me So any time I'm gone You can listen to my voice and sing along I'm such 1D trash 😭😭 But this was on my yearning playlist (lmao) and I was thinking about how Finnick would 1000% write this song for his sweet girl. Like this is such a simp song (respectfully) and we all know Finnick is so in love with her its SICK ----- In Agreement - Lizzy McAlpine I talk to my friends about you Pretty sure they're tired of hearin' it I say "I met a guy, and he treats me real nice" Which is good for a change I talk to my friends about you And I think they agree my exes weren't always great And I don't really buy into fate But you tell me I'm pretty And you don't ask for too much 'Cause you know and I know That promises sometimes can hurt When it's barely begun And I don't want this to fall through Collapsing is what I'm used to But we're all in agreement This is something I should hold onto (another song on my yearning playlist LMAO) but this is very much sweet girl coded #idk bc this is definitely her inner monologue when she first meets Finnick and they start dating 😭😭😭 AND WITH THAT IN MIND, IT MAKES THE LYRIC "'Cause you know and I know that promises sometimes can hurt when it's barely begun, and I don't want this to fall through. Collapsing is what I'm used to" HURTTTT ----- girl i've always been - Olivia Rodrigo *just the entire song*

No like, walk with me here 🚶‍♀️ because this is definitey something that could've been written by Billy's muse HOWEVER, it can be either about Billy OR, OR!! Eddie. Do we see the vision👁️👁️. For Billy, it's written from the pov of a reader who has a lil kick to her, who's done being the doormat and rips into him after he disrespects her and he's all like "???" For Eddie, it's more from the perspective of a reader who is always gonna pick Billy over Eddie. And she told him this many times. Yet, he still pursues her. And yet, he still get's upset that she always picks Billy. His intentions aren't coming from a good place. Like that one blurb you did about Eddie not being a fully good guy, y'know? I'm not good at explaining things so I hope I'm making sense LMAO ----- BACK TO FINNICK AND HIS SWEET GIRL! Block Me Out - Gracie Abrams

Now I only let me down When there's no one else around I've been thinkin' way too loud I wish that I could block me out I wish that I could block me out, out I think I'm burnin' alive, but nobody sees the fire 'Cause when I open my mouth, I seem to be stuck in silence And I thought of leaving tonight, but I couldn't drive this tired Plus, after all of this time, I should be a pretty crier (😭!!) Wish I were heavier now, I'm floating outside my body It's not their fault, but I've found that none of my friends will call me Until I'm left to myself, it's honestly kind of funny How every voice in my head is trying its best to haunt me This is another sweet girl coded song. This could deffo be applied to her after her games and after she's rescued from the Capitol :(((( ----- Finishing off with a bit of Miss Swift, this one part of Delicate reminds me of Finnick's sweet girl in the last couple of chapters: This ain't for the best My reputation's never been worse, so You must like me for me Where she's finally letting Finn back in and allowing herself to be comfortable with him :') Also, some its and bits of Marjorie also remind me of this fic when I think about it from two perspectives:

The autumn chill that wakes me up You loved the amber skies so much Long limbs and frozen swims You'd always go past where our feet could touch And I complained the whole way there The car ride back and up the stairs I should've asked you questions I should've asked you how to be Asked you to write it down for me Should've kept every grocery store receipt

If I didn't know better I'd think you were still around I know better But I still feel you all around I know better But you're still around

One being Finnick when he's missing the reader while he's in 13 and she's at the Capitol :( (Sometime I remember that part in Chapter 1 of The River where he smells peaches in his oatmeal and starts breaking breaking down, and I cry 🥲) But the other one being the reader thinking about Conway. Even though he tried to kill her, she still reminisces about the best parts of her friendship and can't help but feel the guilt and regret whenever she does. ------ OK HEHE THOSE ARE MY #THOUGHTS 💆‍♀️ I didn't realize how long it's been since i've been in your inbox and it's been WAY TOO LONG! never again 🫡 I love yapping about these things and I love hearing your thoughts about it!! Also, apologies in advance for when Tortured Poets Department comes out bc it'll be the biggest yap session ever once I make a connection between Finnick/Billy and any of the songs -🦅

AAAAAAA POOKIE I CALLED AND YOU CAME ILY 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺💋💋💋💋

(sorry this took so long to get to I get so easily distracted and there's an to get through)

you're all good pookie, I hope finals are going good and that you're taking care of yourself babes 💕

finnick odair the type of man to make you a mixtape that's kinda messy and done wrong but you don't care because he's so sweet and you can hear him talking and all the songs that make him think of you, he's such a simp, and so adorable

justice for finnick's sweet girl. she really had so much hope, felt so loved, so in love and had it all torn away from her. she's so giddy to be perceived by someone especially finnick odair and just addicted to him

billy's muse getting annoyed with eddie and giving daisy some lyrics about eddie instead this time bc she's so done with the way he's always being so sweet and comforting and lovey dovey and then trying to convince her to leave billy for him even though she's told him from the start she wouldn't, and he makes her feel so selfish, and cold for it. but "now you're on my case, how could I go? you never dreamed I'd be so cold and, then with venom on your tounge you ask me who I have become" honestly in this case I think billy would love the song because it validates that she'll always pick him, that eddie, although he's a nusciance, isn't a real threat and never had been.

and eddie gets annoyed for a good while and is pissy about it, which is painful for muse because she feels like she's got no one when her and billy argue. but eddie comes crawling back trying to win her over again regardless of how clear she's made it that he never stood a fighting chance.

SIDE NOTE: this song also makes me think of conway and sweet girl especially in that moment during their games when he's realizing everything and says she's changed which she denies. "so don't say that I've been acting different, I'm nothing if I'm not consistent" "I got wrapped up in the game again and you woke up in an empty bed, and I can't say I'm a perfect ten, but I am the girl I've always been"

aaaaa finnick's sweet girl, my poor tortured baby. the crying, the destructing when left with her thoughts, the death wishes, the silent cries for help that really aren't that silent, I want to hold her so bad

and for delicate, finnick's anxiety about not knowing what's not enough and too much for his sweet girl, where is the line? "is it cool that I said all that? is it chill that you're in my head? cause I know that it's delicate."

finnick thinking about how he should've done more, should have paid more attention even though he has her memorized, that somehow he should have savored every moment with her because he can't bear being without her. and the guilt because he wishes he'd supported her more, helped her heal more, he lies awake thinking about how he should've convinced her that life was worth living, that she was worth it because he has no idea what's happening to her now.

AND her thinking about conway, how she should've really paid attention to each tiny detail of their life before the games, each smile, joke, laugh, every damn moment before she destroyed it all. before snow destroyed it all. and she does see him everywhere and try not to break down, the beach they used to play on, the alleys they used to hide in to chat endlessly, their favorite field, favorite swimming hole, everything and it just makes her grieve.

I LOVE YOU POOKIE AND MISSED YOU 😭😭❤️❤️

SO REAL AND PLEASE SO I'M SO SO EXCITED FOR THE ALBUM AND I'M ALREADY SEARCHING FOR CONNECTIONS (billy and his muse as my boy only breaks his favorite toys, but daddy I love him, I can fix him (no really I can) I can do it with a broken heart)

[weizhiyuan]

Our bl boys love the beach or a gay little pool scene, yet sometimes their swim technique… could use a little improvement. As an ex swimmer I can’t help but notice when certain characters aren’t swimming properly so I’ve compiled a short & silly list going from least worst to most worst of imo the worst swimming atrocities in bl

this would probably look a lot better with gifs so you could see them in action but I don’t have the skill

1. Kongpob in sotus ep8 2/4

he drowned for attention :/ like get up lol. Gay people are so dramatic

2. Palm in never let me go ep2 2/4

Now we’re onto actual swimming critique. I’m sorry but what are his feet & legs doing. He’s here to practice swimming but he’s not even kicking above water?? I don’t see a single splash. Why is he turning his whole chest for every stroke. His head is above the water too so we gotta get a lot more horizontal and start looking down. Love u Palm but you gotta work on that. Also very funny that nuengdiao sits and watches him swim... like your gay ass doesn’t care abt needing a “teacher” you’re just here to Gaze Homosexually. I know Pond also worked on swimming for the role so he kinda gets a pass. I appreciate the effort!

3. PETE IN DARK BLUE KISS EP1 1/4

THIS HAS UPSET ME SINCE I FIRST WATCHED IT YEARS AGO…. WHY DID HE DIVE LIKE THAT. YOUR ARMS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OVER YOUR HEAD??? what REALLY kills me is the fact that this is supposed to be his super cool introduction scene. You have all this build up and by the end all I can think abt is how he doesn’t know how to dive. Again, love u Pete but wtf was that. I’m aware Tay was worried about looking cool but he pulled that off just fine.. the fact that the diving wasn’t done properly just makes me burst out laughing every time. The angle they chose for the series does a little justice but the bts where we can see it from the side just settles how bad it is. I’m sorry.

(ily Pete ily Tay but this is kinda peak comedy..)

In the same bts clip Tay literally says his belly turned red and that is because he did not dive but in fact bellyflopped 👍

+ after he dives he isn’t kicking above water/swimming horizontally either like Palm did. Help

I would like to give a special shoutout to the swimmers in until we meet again though bc they swam wonderfully!!

I’m seeing proper dives! I’m seeing splashes from kicking! I’m even seeing flip turns! Great work all around everyone! Of course, these characters are swimmers so naturally one would expect they should know what they’re doing, but it’s still nice to actually see it in action

Now this little list is just put together from what’s at the top of my head (I’m not watching bls for swimming technique after all) and it’s also not meant to be taken that seriously either lmao. I’ve just always found it unintentionally comedic whenever a supposed swimmer character can’t do something an irl swimmer would deffo have to know. Long live our swimmer bl boys!

#I’ve had a variant of this in the drafts since nlmg ep2 aired LMAO #went swimming the other day and tried diving again and it reminded me of these skksdkks #sotus #never let me go #dark blue kiss #until we meet again #(also I rlly hope this doesn’t come across as mean lol I love these characters) #b.txt #userjustafriend #usersufa #userminty #tagging some of my nlmg besties cuz of Palm hehee..

Hi Jett! Hope you are well. :) 

I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate how inclusive your writing is. (tw: depression) As someone who has gained weight in the past two years because of my horrible depression, it is sometimes difficult to find fanfics that include all body types (I’m just now starting to get used to my current body and most days I still feel like absolute garbage, tbh). I stopped reading fics when my depression got bad and just recently returned to reading them again. I am so glad that there are writers like you on this platform who make all kinds of readers feel desirable and lovable.

I adore you and your writing so much! ❤️

Hey Lovely! 🖤

I'm not too shabby, ta. Hope you're doing good, bub. 🤘🏻

Aww thank you, I try to be as inclusive as I can because I believe fanfic is for everyone to enjoy, and I have plans to include more different reader types in the future too.

And you know what, I totally relate, Non. Hoo boy, do I feel ya. 🫣 I've not had such a good time lately myself with a back issue (oh the perks of ageing... I'm not an actor, and my back is killing me! 😩) that's caused me to gain some weight too, and it's hard to accept sometimes, isn't it? Our brain does this terrible thing of convincing us that we're unacceptable or undeserving of love and affection because we have a few more inches of skin, or our butts and tums are a little wobblier... I don't know whether it's through the media or this self imposed expectation on how we "think we should look" on the outside, but I know for a fact you're beautiful, just as you are.

And I know, I know; that's easy for me to say, right? But honestly, I can tell that about you from the fact you took the time to write me something as lovely, honest and kind as your message. And that my friend, comes from an utterly beautiful place.

Try not to be so hard on yourself, bub. You're doing great, even if you don't think you are or have been. You're amazing. And I'm really happy you're able to enjoy reading again, and that I can contribute to that in some small way. 😊 I really appreciate that, more than you could ever know. 🖤

And you're deffo desirable and lovable. Make no mistake about that. 🥰

Love you so much! 🖤

tagged by @senseandaccountability THANK YOU!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 200 exactly! I did not know this until I just went and checked.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 1,222,468 - I too have been at it for a long time, about fifteen years (and there is more of it on other sites lol)

3. What fandoms do you write for? Rusty Quill Gaming, Baldur's Gate 3, SWTOR (and other star wars related fandoms), Dragon Age, The Magnus Archives, Final Fantasy XIV, uh... and lots of little one offs for books and tiny podcast fandoms.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Mbmbam Archives (mbmbam/magnus crossover) with 949 (this still makes me laugh so much)

Seven Days (RQGaming, Zolf/Oscar) at 458

Sex, Death and Plants or: Four Seasons Total Landscaping (RQGaming AU, Zolf/Oscar/Grizzop) at 425

Willing to Wait for It (RQGaming, genfic) at 394

and

A Little Help (RQGaming, again Zoscar) at 384

Rusty Quill Gaming folks are super super supportive and awesome and I'm forever grateful they went on my dumb journeys with these characters with me.

5. Do you respond to comments? Always! I hope! I know sometimes I miss them when I'm away from my computer but they are definitely always read.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Mmmm, angsty-est?? I'm not one really for angsty endings, although I like angst in all the other bits. Probably the fic I wrote where Zolf is mourning Oscar. I honestly can't remember what it was called.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Sex Death and Plants ends in a massive polycule and the take down of a fascist asshole billionaire so I think it deffo qualifies as the happiest of my endings :D.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm LOL. Never directly. I have reports of people who dislike what I write but they never tell me to my face for some reason, it always gets around to me, usually about two years later, on the underground.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do. I love writing smut. I don't write very graphic smut as a general rule but most of my fics will have one or two scenes in it and I've done a couple of kinktobers. Love it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I've got a couple. One Dragon Age/Lucifer crossover that I wrote specifically for a friend. One aborted Firefly/Dragon Age Crossover that lives on FF.net I think if that site hasn't destroyed itself.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I've had enquiries about translating some into Russian but I've never actually seen if they followed through.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Quite a few actually. Some of them haven't been published :D.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? I should say Zoscar. So I will. I love them your honour.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Gods I got a comment on my old Rebels fic "Talking to Strangers" and I read it again and went "this shit's good I should finish it" but that would involve me actually watching the rest of Rebels and I don't really watch TV any more and it just ends up being too hard.

16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue and character voices, I think - at least for fic. I have a lot of fun trying to make what characters say feel like it could be lifted directly from the source material but isn't.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Description. Fucken' hate it. I'll do it but I'll moan about it for every single sentence.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Very risky IMO and not something I'll do any more although I used to when I first started out. These days I'll write it in English but indicate which language it should be in in other ways.

19. First fandom you wrote for? If we wanna get technical I wrote my first fanfic when I was about ten years old. It was Sherlock Holmes fanfiction (the stories, not the series, since the series didn't come out for another twenty five years lol). Self insert time travel fic. I may still have it somewhere lol.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written? I love all my fanfictions equally (I really don't care for Mbmbam Archives). No that was a joke, I really do love all of them, my favourite tends to be the one I'm writing at the present moment. That said honourable mention should go to The Nature of Crystal (G'raha/WOL smut) because that one just arrived fully formed in my head one morning and tickled me.

I'll tag @feralkwe, @wishflower4, @zombolouge @makesometime and anyone else who would like to do it!

#20 questions for fic writers #fic writer meme

[undercoverpena]

What is your favorite part about writing fic? What do you like about each character? Frankie, Javi P. Marcus and Joel?

Congratulations on 7k! I passed 100 and got excited.

omg congrats on 100!!!! do you want to share a cake? i think we should (also if you haven't pls actually treat yourself to cake!! when we hit milestones or do things we're proud of, we should all celebrate with cake).

btw, i love this question so much, and I'm so sorry for how long this could possibly go:

fic in general: i like that i have a place to exercise. for me, writing keeps me very much balanced and healthy and happy. i didn't always do it, i didn't study it, and i deffo don't know if i love it every single day, but i found it helped. i find it easier to share how i feel in written form than speaking, which is how i began writing some years back. fanfic was something i fell into, and then never wanted to leave. i bounced around fandoms, i had fun, i made friends and i built a community. and I'm glad, even if I'm not in a few of them anymore, i was in them for the length of time i was. I've got friends I've known coming up to eight years because of fanfic. but, i also love writing because i like to tell stories, i want to make someone's day a bit better, even if the story isn't happy? you know. i just want to say i made a difference, and I'm not sure how else to do that outside of writing?

joel: when i write, i choose HBO joel because i spent a lot of time with game joel and we have a diff relationship. but i love the complexity of a person who doesn't outwardly show his feelings because of the nature of grief, and survival. i like picking that a part? i like also trying to find new ways to get under a characters skin, and in his environment, that is both fun, difficult and challenging (in all the best ways). a lot of the time, i use sex. but sometimes it's a convo that is only happening in a stare, and i think that's pretty powerful.

javi: he was the first pedro show i watched because i had been recommended it, and was dead excited for tlou and he appeared on my tiktok. in each season, i feel he's different. and that's so much fun for me. i love character-driven stories (as you probably know) and there's a lot of substance to play with when it comes to him. he's still quite soft, but he has an exterior you have to manage and look past and i kinda love that? i also love that strong people don't intimidate him, so i get to give him fiesty and sassy and it's okay. also, on a level, at times i relate to him - how much he carries, and sometimes it's nice to unburden that in a character.

frankie: god. i remember watching TF the first time and just being like in awe of him as soon as he lost his cool. because i loved how complex he was. we immediately think he's one thing but he's something other. but i mainly began writing him to see if i could? and then i fell in love with him. hard. like i love his angry side, his moody side, his soft and sarcastic side. but also i love that he's surrounded by good people. he's got good relationships, a foundation, and there's this event that happens that allows us all to take a different approach to him?

i'm so sorry, i rambled a lot there, but i hope this is what you wanted and I'm so sorry if you're like "shut up, jo"

Tentatively calling this "Letter of Marque"

Gus: ...you know what AU I want, is the one where Chauncy finds Ed, not Stede

Etben: …tell me more

Gus: and Chauncy gives a version of that speech to Ed, who obviously shoots his head off in response, but the speech still gets to him

Etben: Oh deffo

Gus: because Chancy (Chauncy? Chaucey? whatever, the twin) tells him it's obvious Ed wants Stede, but he's not worthy

Etben: Well and also that Ed is a shadow of his former self and who would even want THIS Ed anyway? At least Blackbeard had SOMETHING going for him

Gus: Yes exactly

Gus: So ED leaves and goes back to like - his mom or something

Gus: like can't go back to the boat, can't go back to Stede

Gus: sadly does not have a Mary, unless you count Izzy which I don't

Gus: but he sails back to England or wherever

Etben: Oh noooooo buddy

Gus: (I'm curious about that actually because his mom worked for an estate, presumably in England, but she and their family lived close enough to a port and in their own shitty house)

Gus: (unless maybe the fabric scene is after Ed killed his dad and his mom had to go into service?)

Gus: (anyway DETAILS)

Gus: I don't think I'd want his mom to be like, dead or anything

Etben: Nah

Etben: She remarried, maybe? She’s doing fine

Gus: like maybe she's even happy

Gus: omg what if Ed has little brothers and sisters

Gus: and is like WHAT ARE THESE

Etben: Omg I would SCREAM

"There's a man asking after you at the market, mum," Tommy reported from somewhere behind the large bag of flour he was holding as. "Help?" he added as he banged into the table for the third time.

Rachel guided him to the slightly lower bench to the side, and he put it down with a thump. "Good Lord, Tommy, I'm not baking for the whole town."

"You're baking for your first grandchild, and Henrie will throw an absolute strop if you don't make the thing with the—" Tommy made the criss-cross shape of the fairy buns that her three youngest had loved when they were children. "Besides, the midwife says it's to be sometime in the next week, so we'd best get to it," added Tommy, clapping his lightly-floured hands together. "Come along, you layabouts!"

"Enough of your sass," said Caleb from the other table, where he'd been working out the evening's loaves for the past hour. "What's this man who's asking for your mother?"

"No need to be jealous, my love," Rachel said, enjoying the huff of her husband's shoulders as he kept his grin facing the sourdough.

"I assumed it was one of the ribbon-sellers pressing for settlment of a bill, Missus Smythe," Caleb shot back, but when she leaned over to swat him, he gathered her into his arms, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Ugh, get a room," Tommy moaned just as the bell above the shop door jangled.

"We have one," Caleb reminded him, and Rachel kept herself from giggling like a lass fifty years younger as Tommy stomped out into the front of the shop, his voice muffled by the curtain at the door as he spoke to whoever had come in.

"Hold on, I want to know what handsome man is asking about me at the market," Rachel protested, making a show of struggling against Caleb's hold. "Perhaps it's my Prince Charming."

"He's a bit late for his rendez-vous, you'll have to admit," Caleb said, giving her another kiss.

Rachel was about to murmur about how Caleb was as charming as any man she'd ever wanted — ever dreamed of, even though he'd been late too — and had rescued her better than any prince to boot. But she was thwarted by her youngest son, this time, making an unexpected appearance from the front of the shop and looking quite smart in his new frock coat.

"Tommy said you two were canoodling back here," Rich said accusingly, his hand darting out to grab a muffin before his mother could stop him. "Awful. Mr. Rhodes says one should always maintain a professional atmosphere at one's place of business."

"Mr. Rhodes is your master, Apprentice Smythe, not ours," Rachel reminded him as she broke free of Caleb's hold to snatch the half-muffin Rich hadn't already eaten out of his hand. "Speaking of which, what might you be doing here and not—"

"He sent me on an errand to get more ink at the market," Rich protested, holding up a bottle as evidence. "And while I was there, I overheard a man asking for a Mrs. Smythe, so I thought I'd tell you."

"This fellow is going to find Henrie next, bed-bound though she is, before he finds you," Caleb muttered; she didn't have to look back to hear the smile in his face.

"Hush," Rachel scolded, and held the muffin out of reach when her son made a grab for it. "And what else did this man say?"

Rich harumphed. "He said he knew you from a long time ago, back when you were Mrs. Teach—"

"Mrs. Teach?" Rachel said, her blood going hot and cold all at once. She reached out blindly behind her; Caleb caught her hand and let her squeeze. It probably hurt, but he said nothing as he held on. 

Rich, with all the tact he'd ever had, seized his opportunity and the muffin. "Yeah," he said, a bit muffled as he stuffed it into his face. "Wanted to know if you were still alive, where you were, if you were well, that sort of thing."

"What — what did he look like?" Rachel could scarcely breathe for fear, or hope. Or both.

"See for yourself," Rich shrugged, turning to call behind him. "Sir? Mister — I'm sorry, I never did catch your name—"

"Edward," said Rachel's eldest son, stepping through the curtain as Rachel felt her knees turn to water. "My name's Edward."

#I love the idea of both Ed *and* Stede being so susceptible to suggestion—like they're both trying SO HARD #to believe in themselves #but they're both so bad at it #and I do think that if things had gone a little bit differently it would be Ed now having to go chase down Stede #who is feeling some WAYS about Ed abandoning him #even though Ed did it for what he thought were the right reasons #I also really love the idea that instead of the Kraken #we get the Gentleman Pirate as his own kind of monster #like—what does Stede look like with the brakes off #I bet you he's fucking scary as shit #pirate geezers in love #ofmd fic #ficcage of interest #I really do need to finish ONE of these

What's your alternative careers for Brittana? Or well, your prefered career because they got nothing in the future.

Personally, I really like the idea of either writer!Santana or a standup comedian in Bo Burnham-Rachel Bloom style. If Trouty Mouth was produced in an afternoon, imagine what could she with much more time and resources. Though it might be best for her to wait a few years, mature a bit, become more introspective, and stop being a racist ass.

For Brittany, I once saw someone mention her being a kindergarden teacher and I ram with it. Like damn, it works so wonderfully that I might prefer it to her being a dancer.

I'm gonna disagree and say different things but I still appreciate this Brittana ask, just to clarify lol.

I think Santana could pull off a Rachel Bloom in that she writes hilarious music and maybe performs it but I don't really see her doing much comedy, and deffo not in a standup way. I don't think it fits her style of comedy and though I do think she could have been a pretty great writer, I think that could only be something she does in a more lowkey way. Like, maybe a hobby no one really knows about or she doesn't ask credit for when she does do it for money because writing exposes her soul in a more vulnerable way than she's willing to subject herself to. That said I do think she performs, mostly sings every now and then, on her own terms, and maybe a bit of comedy slips into that. But yeah I think the Bo Burnham/Rachel Bloom style production is not something she'd do.

I've said it before and I maintain that PR was a good pick for her. I'm running with the headcanon that she got into it for real after 5x19 and when she went back to college did something with that. She has the perfect skillset and it allows her both freedom and money, and then she can do whatever performing she wants to on her own terms. The more I think about it the more happy I am that Chris Colfer presented it as an option, it really is such a good pick for her. PR!Santana truther over here.

For Brittany, heaven knows I love that girl so I say this with respect but she should not be in charge of children lol. I see Brittany as someone who stumbles into fame and keeps making just the right decisions to have a successful career. Sometimes by accident, often by thinking outside the box and being ahead of the curve. I think she dances, sure, but like Santana much on her own terms because she's primarily a blogger/influencer/whatever we wanna call it. Fondue for Two already sees success in the show's timeline and Brittany is shown time and again to be someone people are drawn to in that sense. She's entertaining and people wanna know more, see more of her. SO she does Fondue for Two, other online things, maybe a bit of TV, vlogs her travels and her life with her wife and does pretty well for herself.

Basically, Brittana both find what they're good at and the arts remain important in their lives but they #girlboss really well and live veeery comfortable lives - life, joint - in New York.

#santana does a lot of soul searching and has a crisis or two #career-wise #and you know i do like writing for her but i don't think she'd make a career out of it #writing can be so intimate man there's no way she'd wanna be known for that #brittany is not like other influencers because she just does whatever she wants #a chaotic energy #brittana headcanons #glee asks #brittana asks #appreciated anon i do think your ideas are fun too #anon

[actualbird]

Now I really am back to reading your fics like a morning newspaper dgkdkg at this rate I should come up with a name for this fanfic paper....

Super Attorney dfjzhf is it Ace Attorney but a TV show? Honestly good taste mc.

Man, I really feel the not apologising thing. I mean, I apologise to friends and acquaintances of course but it's a family thing? I guess? I'm pretty sure this is a kind of common thing too. I'd probably have the same reaction as Giann if someone from my family actually apologised.

I love how Giann's first reaction when someone finds out something he doesn't want to is think Luke told them dgidig Luke will forever be thought of as a snitch now.

Giann nearly falling on his broken leg trying to see Neil right after admitting he hasn't been focusing on recovery is hilarious chkck he just went from not focusing to nearly actively fucking it up by accident poor Marius. First him leaving the room and going to the rooftop and now this.

NEIL XGJXGJCKG I CAN'T BELIEVE HE TRIED TO FAKE AMNESIA

Congratulations Neil you get to do shovel talks now! Start with Marius, he's right there and also it's his turn to get one now.

Looking at the end notes: Marbles von Hagen.....he'd be that marble that rolls away everytime you take them out of their bag or something. What troubles will he get into as a sphere....

And with that, that's the final chapter of this fic and my thoughts on it! As always, excellent chapter! This fic ended perfectly, and I'm definitely going to revisit it from time to time. Particularly when canon Giann and Neil come out, gotta see how similar they are to this fic. Thank you for writing this!!! It was a joy to read and I adored it so, so much.

🌌

waaaaahh, gmorning milkyway!! i hope u enjoyed today's morning paper written by zak who isnt telling you the news and is just making fic where characters get all emo and stuff, HAHA

JHSVKFJHSDK super attorney is a show mentioned in Artem SR Focus Fire. in terms of content, all we know is that it's a legal drama. but the Big Data Lab entry has this hilarious detail "It is supposedly inspired by real cases, but a certain anonymous critic has criticized the series as being overly dramatic and not reflective of reality." oh artem....KJHVFJAHSFJ

hoo boy yea the not apologizing thing was deffo inspired as a family thing. ive got 3 siblings and i love them very much and i'd consider all of us very close. but when any of us fight, we rarely apologize with like, the actual words. when it does happen tho, that when the situation is like Big

if im ranking the new team in terms of first impressions: luke honestly landed in last place due to sheer strangeness, giving giann a heartattack, and also snitching JHVSKJHDFKSDJ sorry dude

vjhKJHVKJH P MUCH, i just think itd be funny if giann didnt have a braincell sometimes, especially when it comes to people he cares about. it be like...

marius: i need u to recover so i can feel a bit more sane giann: okay i promise to focus on that :( //proceeds to nearly re-break his leg

neil wants to cause CHAOS. i assume part of why artem's deadpan expression these days is so good is because neil hume was his mentor and neil was a rascal

NEIL'S TURN TO SPEEDRUN!!! artem arrives at the room and neil is like "YOU OVERACHIEVER??? GO BIG OR GO HOME, HUH???" and artem is so confused

hjhJKHVKJHVKJ SPHERICAL NUISANCE!!! i figure thatd be austin and giann's rationale later on, but it did mostly start out from like "marius" -> "mar/marmar" -> "marbles"

when i pitched this hc on my priv twt, someone suggested "marmite" as a nickname and i lost my mind JHSJHFSKJDHF

thank YOU so so much for this lovely comment, milkyway :((( and for reading every chapter and commenting on each one, pls, every single one always made my morning and just made me rlly happy 🥺

now that this fic is over, it is time for me to look upon my horrid gdrive folder and see what ridiculous feels i will inflict upon you all next :DDD

#milkyway!anon #asks #i may use marbles for another fic so it can see the light of day in a fully written scene HAHA #commints #OH RIGHT I GOTTA UPDATE THE MASTERLISTS.....after i get back from the dentist i gotta run for an appointment jhfjsd

[in-christalone]

This is gonna be long I’m so sorry but idk what to do than pray and come to talk here - Basically I met my boyfriend when I’d been a Christian for just over a year - he had just converted to Christianity and it was weird bc I had settled in never getting married etc or at least until I was like 30+ aha (I’ve just turned 24) but he came out of nowhere and I had a lot of issues w being kissed or hugged like any kind of touch (not sex dw) but he made me feel safe and all the things being in a relationship should be felt so natural and we played music together for God and yes, we have our own issues that we constantly work on and I feel like a relationship requires both people to work on the relationship and be Godly and the ultimate end goal is marriage which is what I want one day and kids one day and I thought he did too. It was deffo something I hadn’t thought a whole lot about but you need to understand I’ve never had a connection that fitted like that EVER and it was so from God I felt it. But one of his things is that he’s always been a little flaky and seems like he would be hard on himself and think he needs to break up with me in order to help me and be best for me but I didn’t see it like that. I recently thought I need to spend more time making him know how much I love and care for him and to grow in the Lord with him and I felt something was off. He ended up coming to pick me up from work and I asked if he was ok and he ended up breaking up with me and I feel broken. Like it’s extremely cringe but he felt like my soulmate and like God brought together for a reason and he says he doesn’t want marriage yet or he doesn’t know anything and that we need not be together that way but he’s confused and doesn’t know what he wants etc. also, we have been together almost 8 months and I have a key, we do so much together, I stay at his place when he’s away with his family sometimes and keep an eye on the house/ garden and it felt like he just broke it off so easily like I felt it ALL, I wanted to build a Godly life with him one day and I feel empty. Please please pray for me

That's really hard, I'm so sorry that you are suffering like this. Take all the time you need to process this, don't shrug this off but really allow yourself to grieve this to help you overcome it. If there was a breakup, then it means it wasn't God's will. Believe it or not, you can fall in love and feel like the soul-like connection with more than one person [obviously not in a polygamy way, but in a moving on and finding someone new way] . God willing there will come another man who will treat you better and not run away this time. Eight months is a long time, and I can imagine the weight your heart feels in this. Your pain in this is valid, but let that pain drive you toward Christ, the mender of the broken-hearted. I'm thankful he'd spoken up now instead of dragging you along any further and causing more pain, he was at least mature in that sense. I don't want to rat on the man, but it does sound like he's going through a lot himself. Pray for him and his own relationship with God. That he would learn to love and be loved, that he would accept physical affection. [honestly, I relate to the guy not liking hugs and kisses, some people have traumatic pasts where they just cannot handle physical affection so I understand.]

It hurts now, but stay strong, you are going to be okay. Keep close with those who love and support you, get all the hugs from those who do.

8, 6, 7, 5, 3, and 9 for Barnabas? 😗

aueuegeh tyty srry this took ages,,,

asks from here!

3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for barnabas

3 - What would their song to each other be?

- to him, i'd show him paint it black by the rolling stones. it fits him sooo well and i think he'd like it!! but for something more love song-y, i'd also show him time will define by fever <3

- assuming he was showing modern/earth songs, i think he'd go for a song like purple rain by prince or maybe use somebody by kings of leon. it's not what i think his fave music genre would be, but deffo how he'd view me/kosmos

- but i bet there are some songs from valisthea he'd hear n think of me too,,,

5 - Who curses, and who reprimands the other for it?

- i curse so much,,, but barnabas doesnt usually comment on it unless we're around other important figures / royals n such

- in which case he'll just sort of tut and say smthn like "hardly appropriate language to use around such honoured guests." he actually doesn't care but he thinks its funny to make me squirm. evil really smh smh 😫 /lh

6 - What small quirks do they love about each other?

- i love his little giggles so much!!!! and barnabas has this half smile/half smirk he does whenever he's trying not to laugh in important meetings

- he always says i snore which i dont !!! he is LYING. but he says i do and altho he teases me for it, he thinks its cute, he'll often lie awake, long after im asleep n cuddled up to him. snoring. 🤭

7 - Who makes the other laugh more?

- he makes me laugh a lot, usually when he's not even trying to! sometimes he'll just respond to others in such a deadpan way that it makes me giggle. its a real problem during those royal meetings

8 - Who gets jealous easier?

- oh barnabas for sure! he is a very jealous person, that meme thats like "u talk to other men? 🤨" but hes also quite...patient? he likes to sit with his emotions before acting on them, so its not often (if at all) that he has those typical "jealous bf" moments

9 - How did they know they were right for each other?

- well, barnabas isnt used to ppl caring for him (or sleipnir) and is also scared to let ppl close to him. he has this belief that inevitably, ppl will either leave him alone again or let him down in some way or another. it takes him a while to open up to me but it's probably late one night when the three of us are cuddled up that he goes yeah... this is what life should be and we're all better for knowing each other <3

- i am actually the last to know. it takes me a while to sort of settle in with both him and sleipnir. im still not convinced he's actually in love with me until after one of the fights against ultima (there's a few, dw abt it), kosmos' powers are completely gone n it looks like they won't come back. and he still stays. even tho im now just Some Guy, he stays and him n sleipnir fuss over me n make sure im okay n cared for 🥰 and thats when it hits that we are meant to be,,

#jupiter.speaks #.asks #❤️.barnabas #❤️.sleipnir #👤.kosmos #> ty!! i enjoyed writin these it was a nice insight into them #> and throwin in a cheeky fever song heueheuheuhe

Yo,

1. Job markets ass, when using 3rd party job sites like indeed never apply on the app itself! Go to the source, find the actual job posting. Write a cover letter….. yea I know it’s tragic but it’s a good boost. There’s templates on google but I think the general formula is one paragraph expressing interest, body about your qualifications (basically regurgitate your resume, squeeze in key terms specific to the job) final paragraph can be a quick little personal tid bit but usually it’s a send off. Make sure everything is a live file!!! No! Jpegs!!!!!

If you’re still in school, network. I did not do this and I probably should have

2. Girlie pop if you go out to eat at all highly recommend taking as many left overs as possible and repurposing them. For now, bread, butter, cinnamon, sugar. Toast the bread till gold, spread butter, add sugar and cinnamon,A treat. (Separate)Fry an egg on the bread. Add avocado to be basic for fun!pepper flakes for spice. When I was in college I used to eat dried cereal and watch fancy YouTube food video so I could trick my brain into thinking I was eating something real lol.

3. :-( your relationship post made me sad. I’m sorry. You need more media that frames the woman as a person rather than a prop! I know the feeling 😩 being ace puts you in a weird spot sometimes….but remember you are more than the media you and others consume! Also that last part……girlie watch the the soccer cannibalism show get on that RN!!!!! (Yellowjackets go watch Yellowjackets it’s flawed but it’s about flawed women outside the male gaze)

It’ll be ok lol, most things are temporary.

Hey, thank you for this very kind message! I didn't expect such a quick and constructive response, thank you!

1: I don't know how you figured out I am looking for a job, but as of last week you are absolutely correct! The telepath allegations are not beaten today fjzkrkv

Thanks for the advice! And yeah, I need to send mails and phone calls and it's TIRING but eh, we roll.

2: This is very clever, and that cinamon one I'll definitetly keep in mind. Cooking is definitely an area im lacking in and improvising meal is not something I do easily, so having 3 to 4 'meals' for when you have 0 spoons for cooking is deffo something that will be useful to me. Cinammon toast!

3: yeah, i wrote this post while tired and frustrated. Thankfully the tides are changing at least a bit in that regard and we are seeing more variety. Still, I hope we get more shows where the friendship is front and center and challenged and explored a- I LIKE FRIENDSHIPS!! I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE ARE FRIEND AND FIND MEANING IN THAT TITLE!! Anyway yeah, It's good to remember real life very much isn't like medias. People are good, and we gotta believe in that.

(And ooh, I might check it out then! Thanks for the rec!)

Aw man I should not have stayed up to watch Deadloch

It is fuckin insane tho

And I'm having Thoughts that need to be Solved by Ao3

And also I have to leave for work in. 4 hours.

And also I really need the loo again but I'm scared of waking up the guy downstairs

The uh the plan is. To leave a bit earlier for work. And then go at the train station. Is the plan. :/

It's a bad plan and I acknowledge that. But it's where we're at today huh

(6am edit: you'll be pleased to know "the plan" did not go ahead, I have been brave enough to use my own goddamn lavatory. Fuckin insane behaviour)

I'm gonna need so many energy drinks to get through tomorrow. But at least I can go the loo at work I guess.

I'm fully aware I've constructed a bonkers situation for myself. Or like. Built my own on the guy downstairs' bonkersness. At least I'm aware of it?

Anyway I'm gonna uhhhhh go to Ao3 now. And suffer for a few more hours. Y'know. And not move an inch cs my bed is really creaky cs it's fuckin broken cs the one fella came to fix my window before I had a chair to stand on so he stood on my bed instead? Cs the windows are really fuckin high in this house

I miss sash windows. Like sometimes the rope inside will snap cs no-one's replaced it since at latest 1926, but at least you can still like reach to open the fuckers anyway, and all you need is a proppy uppy thing. I can't reach to open these windows without climbing on my bed/desk/toilet and there's no fuckin breeze comes through even you do get them open cs they're too high, and they're what's the word for cold drafty draugy fuckin english they don't work in winter either and they have wobbly handles but that's a good thing cs it's the only way I can reach enough to close them again

Anyway that should be okay soon cs they're getting replaced next month or when, but also that doesn't solve the problems I'm currently experiencing which is I'm not asleep and I really fuckin badly need a piss

I hope the fella downstairs only has a six-month contract an he fucks off after, cs even tho the windows are shitty and I live in one room I really fuckin love this house I don't want to move to another house

I've never lived in more than one room my own what do people do with space? Fill it with sofas, or something? Fuckin kitchen islands idk

I don't have the spends anyway like I could deffo go into my savings but I'd still have to work more and I don't want to do that I'm fuckin tired

I mean currently that is cs I've been awake for 21 hours apart from the standing up nod off on the train home, but that is not the point

Fuckin pay me more so I can be like alive and have a nice time and and and fuckin And at work they said if we got a certain amount of reviews this quarter then all the store staff would get a bonus each?

A few years ago it was just the management would, and then they changed it to say all staff, but the targets were still bullshit nonsense so no-one's ever got one, even our store manager who's got a funny little glass award on his desk for working at this company longer than I've been alive right, But! then they changed it to be an achievable thing, 100 reviews in 3 months and keep the average stars thing good, which we can do cs we've done it before it was a bonus thing but now it is, right

And then like two weeks ago, right when we were nearly got it like celebrating whooo ten left to get, the fuckers turned and said actually every single store in the area has to get the same thing for anyone to qualify for the bonus, which includes isle of mann which gets like one review every month or smth cs obviously reviews don't matter when you know the whole town and are just catching up with Joanie who's buying a new tarp or whatever, why would you ask Joanie to give you a review, it doesn't make sense, there's no point in it obviously, and it shouldn't effect anybody else on a whole different fuckin landmass. Explain to me the fuckin logic there. Fuckin head office fuckers

Give me the money you fuckin owe me for smiling at cunts as call me "darling" and misgender me to high fuckin heaven and back or I will find a new job

I mean. I won't, cs nowhere that's not fuckin dire as shit is hiring and also I don't know how to do business things myself and fuck going back to uni either

What's that post of I just want to have 17 hobbies or whatever like that

Or like. Make more shit and learn how to sell whatever fuckin weird shit I make

Also I miss the woods, cities are shit

Like phone reception is nice and you can buy more stuff I guess but everything is grey and shitty and I miss sitting in trees

I'll be better once I've slept at all I imagine, it's just when I'm tired I'm a grumpy fuck and I hate like all the stuff cs all the stuff is bullshit fuckin not really rat race or whatever you say cs my job is the lowest pressure you can get except when four different people want seven different pairs of shoes and there's a parcel needs getting and some fucker stops you on the stairs to ask inane questions about tent pegs and now you've forgotten a shoe you were sposed to get and actually now you're back with the non-waterproof kids shoes I asked for can I borrow some socks and what sandals would you recommend for Everest and one of the people who asked for leather boots has fully disappeared in a puff of smoke and will wander back from fuck-knows-where in five minutes while you're serving a family of ten at the till to demand why you didn't tell them you'd got the leather boots for them and actually I can feel my toes reaching the end of the boot I'm gonna need you to get me three sizes down from this and then I'll blame you for why I got blisters just from standing up somehow and there's an incredibly old man here to ask you to get some trousers down from the high shelf but the ASM's hidden the footstool again in a brand new place cs it's untidy to leave it where you can find it ever apparently and oh oh lovely some guy got bored waiting for the fitting room and is now trying tshirts on just stood around and someone's helpfully wrecked a display or two and half the sunglasses have been spirited out the door while you blinked and someone came to ask if a camping store sells pajamas and another twenty people have stormed out cs of the membership thing and and and

Tho tbf it's usually only like that at Xmas really, the rest of the time it's mostly dead

Well I'm gonna see if I can get 3 hours steep

Why do your friends not speak about hillsborough

idk who you’re referring to, tbh. plenty of people do speak about it and plenty of people don’t. i don’t control anyone either so i can’t force anyone to speak on it.

it’s deffo disappointing that a lot of people don’t speak on it, liverpool fans or not. i think people forget that nothing will change right now if it’s only scousers fighting for themselves, they need others to also do their bit cah they’ve been fighting for 3 decades just to be heard, and they’re still treated unfairly. and like it is sad cah a lot of the people i see speaking abt hillsborough are inevitably liverpool fans, and i sometimes think people don’t realise that rival fans also speaking on it would be very impactful, cah on twitter you often see any liverpool fan, scouser or not, gets the victim mentality shout and it’s very consistently towards liverpool fans. so you’re met with a brick wall the second you start speaking, it would be so helpful to see others do their bit to say stn. bc i’ll be real, i’ve not seen a single city fan condemn the club for not making a statement about the graffiti and chants. and maybe that’s cah i don’t follow heaps of them or pay much mind to them, but on twitter as well, not seen a single city fan condemn the club for their silence or pep for the way he “apologised” by saying “IF IT happened” instead of just actually saying sorry. and i don’t think they realise how impactful it could be to have city fans also chime in. sadly though, we can’t actually force anyone to speak on it, and i wouldn’t want to cos i think people forget that forced activism isn’t genuine and real activism. aggressively trying to force anyone to speak on something they don’t genuinely care about is so ineffective. cah what they’ll do, is they’ll put up one post, or two, reblog something and then they’re done. maybe they’ll put up their own post and it could be full of misinformation cah they don’t care enough to do the research on it. i’d much rather know someone’s true colours and how they feel abt stn than force everyone to say stn and not know who’s just saying it to shut me up. and i do think there needs to be an open space on here to start advocating one day, without people jumping down your throat bc you weren’t advocating yesterday, sometimes people need the time to educate themselves and that’s fine too. what’s not fine is spreading misinformation under the guise of being “woke” or shallowly reblogging a post or two once a year so you can dodge accountability if someone asks why you don’t speak on it. i know some people think it’s scousers that should speak on it or that it’s not their place as someone who isn’t scouse to speak on it, but it’s very needed for others to join in the conversation. it’s not fine to be silent on hillsborough bc you don’t care, bc you should care, but i also can’t force anyone to care. all i know is that i care. the only thing we can do is continue to speak on it, continue to educate, inform, advocate etc, and be louder than the chants, the songs, be larger than the silence.
