#but I EARNED that promotion

[gothwizardmagic]

looking for reference pictures to doodle lister and i cant stop laughing at this jacket

cant stop thinking abt him scouring the ship to find as many officers badges as possible just to piss rimmer off

#''lister you cant just DO that those are marks of OFFICE you have to EARN them'' #''yeah? well as the highest ranked living jmc crew member i hereby promote meself!'' #''lets see... given experience at the helm i think i can skip exams and call meself a fairly competent console officer'' #''you cant just SKIP EXAMS!!'' #''oh and im DEFINITELY drive officer ive done plenty of that over the years'' #''lister i order you to stop!'' #''you order me to stop mister lister sir!'' #[inarticulate rage noises] #''you know what? i better add an extra officers badge just to be safe. make it really clear'' #''just in case any smegger tries any insubordination'' #[rimmer physically tackles him] #(dont tell me thats ooc they reference having physically fought off screen several times DOUG NAYLOR LET THEM WRESTLE) #red dwarf

sometime ago I think I saw an ask sent to the venerable ltwilliammowett about sea shanties that aren't in english and I can't find it now which is a shame because I updated my polish sea-song recommendations playlist

#forgive the self promotion #but I need to earn my title of world's number one authority on polish sea songs somehow #echo #sea shanties

MIJAAAAL everyone say hi to mijaal ^_^

^ and a little height comparison between her and mary. its one part mary being short and one part mijaal being a bit lanky

#scribbles #mijaal oc #oc refs #bugworld #+lacewing is also there. shouldve drawn her without her metal armor bc mijaal gets rid of it pretty early into hiding out in the forest-- #--after the takeover of haal but i realized that only after letting this sit for a night. oops #mijaals a bit young still despite her high rank. one part because of that purposeful recruiting of the young and one part bc one of her-- #--commanding officers (fapreisau. he is mentioned for two seconds in the written mijaal thing from a while ago) wanted to get with her-- #--and thought accelerated promotions and his poor mentorship were the best ways to earn her favor. its part of the reason why the ghosts-- #--of her platoon choose to follow after her and keep an eye on her #AAUUUGH i have so much i could say abt mijaal i rlly like her

things that make you go hmmm.

#this scene should have been with matthew parker but i mean. im glad it was included somehow #but the personality change from s2 to s3 is...something. it means that when she returns for the finale that what she says #does not even sound like her or line up with what was (re)established of her character in s3 #umm but yeah i would not tell my husband's mistress to take care of him if anything happened to me like. lol. what #i would be like if i die? kill yourself <3 #they really just made her Selfless and Nice . no other qualities or flaws except i guess being self-abasing...? #and like no i don't watch television to find characters i can 'relate' to that's just an observation #but really it narratively makes no sense is my bigger issue with it #what has henry done for her to have earned that sort of selfless devotion . literally nothing #given her a puppy? looked at her and smiled while she was washing her hair? #whereas with her predecessors at least you get their sense of bond #in s1 henry is favouring the alliance catherine wants they have the bond over their daughter and there's the sense of their shared past #and joys at least... #for anne they have fought for so long to be married and the bond of their child again and religion #hirst was a menace. i hate this show fr sometimes #i mean i guess. henry promoted her family as he did her predecessor's #but it still doesn't feel earned bcus despite that there's so little regard for them? #she finds out her father died and that she can't even go to the funeral. so . like . again...... #the tudors

what fresh hell is this

#you only earn a small % of the product you're selling because we take the rest and now we're gonna fine you for selling stuff to begin with #and i imagine the tiers are just 'pay us to promote yourself' so either way it's just taking your earnings and calling it a benefit for you #just what the actual fuck. i mean it's not i earn much at all through it and now this lol #redbubble

i am desperately trying to be more active but i'm experiencing mental burnout. just want to say thank you for the interactions even when i'm only checking in here now and again - i'll respond when i'm feeling better! <3

#nothing really happened - work and the house just got on top of me. #for context i was promoted to a management position in october and i hit my stride so i have a lot of responsibilities and i'm hhh. #having to play catch up in terms of skillset. i'm good at my job but i'm not the best - therefore ? i must keep pushing :y #as for home... Man (horse.jpg) #we bought a house a year ago. i envy people who renovate days after moving in. we're a year in and i'm only just redoing the kitchen floor #after a leak that happened in JUNE 2022. it's expensive as fuck and takes so much time. #i'm so fortunate to be able to afford a house but like. i won't lie. it's really hard having to be responsible for everything that goes #wrong with it. my kitchen has been subfloor for months. we destroyed our kitchen island trying to make room for the floor to be done #so we're down storage and stuff is just piling up. eh i know this is like. first world problem and really not a big deal. #but when your house is in disrepair because you don't have the money to fix it quickly or time to do it yourself. shit's hard. #anyway this is a rant. don't want a wrench or a tissue- just wanna get it out. #[puts on pantalone hat] i have money anxiety too #like i earn the most i've ever earned. i won't really get much higher than this atm. i'm due a bonus and i can cash out my shares #but fixing up the house is so expensive. i'm worried i'm gonna lose it all somehow. idfk why. when things are going well i worry i'm gonna #lose it all somehow. growing up poor does a number on your resource guarding. if i spend a penny I Will Lose It All. #' dima why do you like pantalone so much ' HE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR #sry this is a ramble . i treat tumblr tags like my diary but i hope you enjoyed the read xoxox #anyways! point is! i'm alive! i'm itching to come back but i dont have the mental space for fun rn. #can't have fun until i feel safe enough to have fun if that makes sense. #aight byeee

Find jobs that work remotely online

lmfao i literally already do that, you jackanapes. i'm a freelance transcriptionist and I have been for YEARS!!!!! i'm GOOD at it, too! having a remote job doesn't mean there's any work in the queue, and it certainly doesn't mean they're PAYING me to do it. a few years ago (like 2016-2018) it was actually possible for me to work from home and earn, like, almost minimum wage. but at least it was consistent. Like, if you knew when the peak times to avoid were, you could always snag work from the queue. I earned anywhere between $8-15 an hour doing that for a few years, and I still never broke more than about $2,000 per year.

the thing about this one is, it's like, the PERFECT setup, in theory. i can come and go as I please, no minimum or maximum amount of work, my insanely fast typing skills ensured I could actually pick files worth my time (my average is 130wpm but I've hit 200. if you even care). being able to stop in the middle of a file and walk away when I was having symptoms, or even just when it was pissing me off, is IDEAL. as long it's done correctly and submitted on time, it doesn't matter what your workflow looks like. i LOVE!!!!! this. yes, please, for the love of god leave me alone and let me do my thing. i work SO much better this way.

as of the last few years, companies like Rev.com have done nothing in the intervening time but increasingly replace their skilled workers (me) with AI auto-captions and having us proofread those instead, all while jacking up their prices for consumers and paying us less and less per file. plus, there's more competition than ever since the pandemic hit, and everyone and their brother think they can just pick up a job like transcription as a side gig or whatever. anyway, since they started becoming worse, I've barely managed to keep up $10 an hour, and there's barely any work in the queue. I check constantly. I'm lucky if i can make a few dollars per week doing that now.

but hey, I actually never gave up. you know what else is a "work remotely online" job? running your own art business. which i also do. I may be conventionally unemployed, but I DO still have multiple jobs! and you people see that and go, "no, that doesn't count. what if you just had MORE jobs? surely this would fix all of your problems?" wow, genius, fucking sensational, THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED TO ME WITHOUT YOUR SAGE WISDOM, ANON. WOW.

YES, I also do market research panels and all that garbage. YES, i have done data entry. I did sigtrack for a while, but I wasn't very good at it, reading people's handwriting is a lot harder for me than parsing speech. I even did Amazon Mechanical Turk back in the day, holy shit, do not do that, 0/10. Any of those shit articles from the penny hoarder youre about to send me? I've done it, and possibly still do from time to time!

Anyway, if that's still not good enough for you, presumably you know a company that hires remotely that you can refer me to? Why don't you hire me yourself, if you're so concerned? You got a podcast or something that needs captions? Hmu anon! That's literally what I do!!! My rate is $1.25 per audio minute!!!! I'll wait!!!!! :)))))))

#me #anon #disability stuff #pay me yourself or else stfu and don't offer stupid unsolicited advice you cowards :) #but ykw else. ive been there. #maybe this anon is just in denial. #maybe they too are working multiple jobs to stay afloat #clinging helplessly to the idea that maybe this will be the one that makes it all fall into place #maybe this one will be the one you succeed at #the one you get promoted thru and actually end up earning a living wage #every time adding on another new job thinking. maybe this time. maybe this is the one. maybe someday I WILL get to retire #maybe if i just get one more job. #maybe this one will respect me. maybe this one won't mind the disabilities. #i know you want to believe that if you work hard enough and do all the right things you can avoid becoming like me #or that if you did you would be able to get yourself out much quicker than i seem to be able to. #let's hope you never have to find out anon

[ask-hector-and-isaac]

Besides your devils, can you also command the various other demons that call the castle their home?

Hector: It's not direct control like with the Devils we create, but we have the authority, yes. Not all demons are intelligent enough to understand the concept, though.

Isaac: Some of them can only ruled through violence. Which is fine by me.

#ask hector and isaac #i imagine hector and isaac had to earn enough respect from the local demons before being promoted

jongdae's puzzle piece being the only one posted 15 minutes late + a fucked up unfinished version and him being in like 0.5 seconds of any content they upload lately...sm i'm coming for you

#i can't blame them for last scene promotions because that was unavoidable and obviously people healing from the tragedy was more important #but i CAN blame them for having to film a MUSIC VIDEO! in one day and frantically editing it #even though i'm positive they had time to make it work but whatever i won't go into it #idk the deal with bubble...he still gets shit constantly on lysn/kwangya #the only reason the comments get deleted is because fans report them :') #people jump on him for just breathing and it really feels like sm is doing nothing #i saw a tweet from a kfan i follow who said she has concerns abt the fanmeet :') #and really if these children make the whole group/event uncomfortable????? #imagine paying all that money just to mock a person you think you've earned the right to abuse #e.txt

So, so happy that I managed to get Silverbell and Pure Vanilla's costume yesterday!! I got Silverbell with magic cookie cutters in my first ten pulls and Viridescent Daydream in my first 15ish pulls I think? But then I wasted the rest of my rainbow cubes trying to get Moonflower Faerie whoops, but the game made it up to me cos! I PULLED WHITE LILY TODAY!! AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PULL A SECOND COPY THREE PULLS LATER!!!

Anyways asdfghjkl — excited rant over! I hope you all are enjoying the event so far as much as I am, and I'm sending everyone good luck in the gacha, too. ♥

What’s the over / under on yacht pics before Labor Day for this new Walmart version of Haylor

#or whatever they care calling H and his new charity case #I still have no idea what she does #guessing probably a model based on his team’s level of originality #anyway I’ll probably be subjected to her every Sunday on the deuxmoi round up for the next however long of a contract she signed #which I guess is based on the premiere date of whatever she has coming out that needs shameless promotion #because earning it is too hard and Jeff will take dollars #Harry #Jeff #stunt
