“dean isn’t a top” well but sam is a bratty bottom and he wants to get fucked on the hood of the impala so bad it makes him look stupid and dean doesn’t know how to say “no” to his baby brother

#so i guess he’ll have to learn to top #on a serious note dean IS canonically a service top <3 at least with girls #and i see sam as the opposite to dean. he is toppy with girls but pretty much sub bottom with boys #especially with dean because i feel like sam craves that attention & care from him while also trying to act like he doesn’t <3 #and dean enjoys his role as a caretaker way too much when it comes to his little brother. it’s who he is he said it himself #anyways it just feels right to me especially the more i rewatch #but i only watch until s6 so obv this is about early seasons samdean #wincest #samdean #sam winchester #spn

hopelessly daydreaming (again) about how considerate modern au!xiao is as a partner…

if you have any dietary requirements or preferences, he memorises them the first time you tell them to him. whenever you’re cold, you can take his jumper or his gloves—or even both, if you really need it. sometimes he offers you an earbud so you can listen to music together, and don’t doubt for a second that he’s put all your favourite songs on this playlist. are you carrying something that’s too heavy? no problem; he’ll take it from here without you having to even ask. he offers you a taste of his meal if he sees you eyeing it. he knows how you take your tea or your coffee by heart, and always blows on your hot drink before handing it to you. if you’re having a bad day, he’ll put aside some time for you, no matter what he’s got planned.

xiao is so selfless, in little ways you could easily miss if you’re not looking closely. on his part, it merely comes naturally to him: why would he ever want anything but the best for you that he can offer? your well-being is his first priority; his own and anyone else’s comes second to that. most of the time, he doesn’t even realise he’s doing these things for you—it’s practically subconscious for him. it would be unthinkable of him not to do them.

even so, please let him know how grateful you are for the little ways he makes your life easier, and never take his selflessness for granted. whether you do it through words or through affection, let him know you’re thankful for all he does, even when he doesn’t need to. he may not think much of it, but you do.

just… tell him how much you appreciate him, alright? it’s the least he deserves.

#that… got a little… emotional (not the right word but i can’t be bothered to find a better one) at the end #it just hits me sometimes how kind xiao is despite having suffered so much #anyway. before i go on a xiao rant #acts of service is definitely xiao’s preferred love language (especially in a modern au) and nobody will convince me otherwise. #genshin impact x reader #xiao #xiao x reader

Am I the only one that noticed that the Leverage Team is the Five Love Languages?

Nate: Quality Time

Sophie: Gift Giving

Hardison: Words of Affirmation

Eliot: Acts of Service

Parker: Physical Affection

Agree? Disagree? Let's discuss.

#leverage #nate ford #sophie devereaux #eliot spencer #alec hardison #parker #they are the five love languages #words of affirmation #quality time #gift giving #acts of service #physical affection #agree? disagree? let's discuss #i want to hear your thoughts #but I think I'm right #especially on eliot and parker #nate sophie and hardison could probably be switched around

Jughead and Veronica having one conversation last episode and then immediately JUMPING into domesticity the next, I have to laugh

#breakfast? redecorating? I literally read this fanfiction before #And Jughead is so like... lost #Like he keeps looking at her like you're so intimidating but I like you a lot and it confuses me #jeronica #riverdale #also Veronica displayed quality time gift giving AND acts of service #But especially quality time she did not want to leave that man #just kept being like ohhh do you wanna walk me home do you wanna go to school together???

Freenoodles? (they are so important to me)

FREENOODLES IS ICONIC. Such an old married couple, who doesn't love them. "I've devoted my life to this man" you sure have dude

#they love and support each other. yet they do NOT stop bickering #and they like...have totally different love languages me thinks #Pigsy likes quality time and acts of service while Tang is much more gift/ words of affirmation oriented #To me they are like...''imperfect people are worth fighting for'' the ship. #Like they both have their flaws and annoy each other in plenty of ways but when it comes down to it they are there for each other #In the past their relationship was a lot more rocky than it is now I'd say. The events of the show strengthened their relationship #Especially in 2x04. OMG Tang you were there for Pigsy when it mattered the most!! #Also I love 2x04 and 4x04 parallels #lmk #lego monkie kid #freenoodles #shipping bingo #asks

i love sanji he’s a lady’s man at heart but only men keep falling for him

#thinking about ace #and pedro #when i saw pedro light sanji’s cigarette with his paw-electricity #i posted it on my ig story going am i insane or is this not very homoerotic #and people replied i don’t even go here but you’re right #men see sanji and immediately think what if our love language is acts of service #especially lighting their cigarettes #and sanji is such an acts of service dude as well #but not particularly as a romantic love he’s just an acts of service dude down to his bone #he needs to be needed in order to be loved #and so when these guys do things for him #he’s like ah they’re so nice #bc he is doing these things for people #to be nice as well #rip sanji one day you will open your eyes enough to know you have a harem #until that day #keep failing at being a ladies man

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #same from a fellow service industry person #today at my workplace - across the street from a state capitol - we discovered it was a major meeting day for a lot of legislative bodies #because we are a coffeeshop. and do u know how fucking terrible it is to have a fucking sea of politicians staring at u from the line #in a *swing-state* with R legislators #so many of them acted like it pained them to have to interact with me and/or our shop #especially the white 30-something dudes who probably passed at least hmmm 5 homeless people walking to our shop #and despite being a white bougie kinda place we have an open door policy for said homeless to come in and warm up / freely use our bathroom #so i also got to see a lot of fun expressions when they'd suddenly realize there was someone sleeping in a corner quietly #wish i could have kicked several of these dudes where it hurts #there was also one person who i'd bet money was a dem and had the gay voice but was like. still a self-important white dude that somehow #found a way to be both friendly and clearly looking down on me #just. service workers :handshake: desire to commit a fucking felony #also quick pro-tip from ur local coffee-shop workers: if you are upset that we double-cup or use hot sleeves for ur coffee/tea cups #consider: don't! we are also handling them. the individual use of the plastic involved is something you should take up with corporate #not the workers who like to not get burned #such as me :) who got burned :) because the very fresh pot of coffee was hot and the cup wasn't as stable as usual and crumpled :) #and spilled coffee on me :) #at a fresh probable-205F temp #(not a bad burn - thankfully it wasn't much #just a lil redness #tbh the hot water for tea and americanos is so much more dangerous #since that's coming directly at 205 degrees out of the spout and possibly onto our hands (it sputters / leaks sometimes)

manager said on sept 23rd i can stop working sundays :)

#for context on sundays i work alone for three to four hours in the store #and customers especially men will act very awful/weird so i asked him to put me on fridays which he wanted to do in the first place #last week a guy. who is a regular btw. said im supposed to smile and came back an hour later to give me potted flowers?? #which could sound cute but ive never been more uncomfortable. i dont know you i only smile at you bc i work in customer service mind ur #fucking business godddd #talk tag

#mysterious vision issues are acting up to the point that it's getting difficult for me to look at screens #which is a problem given that i have to finish this dissertation prospectus very soon so i need to get back to the optometrist #b/c my new glasses that i got that are supposed to help with eye strain seem to make my vision blurrier rather than clearer #but also our car's check engine light came on this weekend and we spent today going back and forth to the mechanic and it's gonna be $$$ #very grateful to the good folks at [redacted auto service dept] for getting us in today though #but i missed [major classical scholar]'s talk at my university this evening because we needed to get said car trouble resolved #and i'm not especially upset about missing the talk but it's just like when it rains it pours y'know #i need life to be a little less insistent

[goatsorcery]

every job i've ever had has gone on and on about how customers love engaging and constant customer service (including greeting customers, asking them in the store if they need help, saying goodbye when they leave). so, im curious:

#customer service #retail #food service #im so curious #because im indifferent on customer service when im the customer #like if im not greeted when i enter a store it's really not the end of the world #managers love to act like it is #ive also worked as a greeter and hostess in both retail and food service #so i know first hand how tiring it is saying the same thing over and over again #especially when 95% of customers ignored me

Listen, all I’m saying is that if RWBY gets cancelled because of Warner Bros (anti-striking) & CrunchyRoll’s (anti-union) greedy executives, I’m down to finish the rest of the show myself with the help of a few friends! ❤️

Also, don’t blame CRWBY or any of the writers and creators currently striking if the show gets shelved. Blame the greedy CEOs & executives of both companies for being pieces of shit.

It would be in written format only unless someone wanted to provide fanart stills to include with it or even animations (less likely)!

Passion project only. I’m not going to monetize this thing if it comes to it. I will make donation links for the people involved though if you wanna help any of us out in regards to life finances. I’m very invested in the story & characters and would like to see the world & story wrapped up properly! 🌹 Feel free to bookmark this post for updates if it ever comes down to it! 🥀

#I really don’t give a damn if this hurts my chances of ever working on a project for either company; it’s not guaranteed I’ll ever make it #big in voice acting as is especially with everything else I got going on #treat your workers with respect or expect a lack of workers; it’s just like what’s going on with retail & the service industry #‘no one wants to work’ no; no one can afford to injure their bodies for your terrible working conditions and garbage pay #no one wants to make their circumstances worse because you refuse to treat any of us like human beings #rwby volume 10 #rwby #rwby10 #rwby vol10 #rwby v10 #greenlight volume 10 #warner bros #crunchyroll #wga strike #warner bros discovery #mine #OP

[fayeandknight]

Forte's first camping-ish trip.

Went to a drive-in movie theater that also has camp grounds for my friend's birthday.

Faye went to Maryland with my parents because I wasn't sure how he'd do in general and I wasn't confident they'd be able to sleep calmly in a tent together. Also it was going to rain at least part of the time and Faye has developed a fear of storms so potentially making her ride one out in a tent felt unfair.

Since it is pet dog friendly I decided to bring Forte off duty so I could assess how he would handle things on his own terms. And also because the risk of my being triggered in this situation were low.

While it did indeed rain throughout pretty much the whole of the first movie Forte was really well behaved. He didn't mind the rain or seemed bothered by it all. He didn't react to the numerous dogs that barked at him, even the beagle who bayed at him several times. He completely ignored the popcorn and other spilled snacks, even when someone knocked their bucket over right next to him. And he was thrilled to love on the people in our group as well as politely but happily greet strangers when given permission.

Unfortunately he really struggled to relax in the tent. He pretty much stayed snuggled up next to me. But he grumbled at every little noise all night long so neither of us slept much. It's completely understandable for him to be on alert his first time in a tent in a field that backs up to the woods. But also I had hoped he'd be tired enough from the new experience of the drive in that he'd have fallen asleep during the night.

Around 5am I was getting over stimulated from his constant grumbling and being tired and uncomfortable because I forgot the padding for under the sleeping bag. To the point where I was seriously considering putting him in the car crate and leaving the trunk open just so I could catch an uninterrupted hour or two.

And then he switched himself into work mode, got up and resettled on top of me, let out a big sigh, and stayed quiet. I slept until almost 8, which was much needed.

This morning I let him zoom around a little, with a leash on, while we packed up. He does know what Too Far means and used it to figure what the perimeter was and was really good about sticking to it.

Overall I think he did well for his first time. But we definitely need to work on one night tent trips to get him more comfortable before trying to add days or Faye into the mix.

#dogblr #belgian tervuren #forte #camping with a dog #dog in tent #i am so tired #especially because the two hour drive home became three due to traffic #service dog in training #sdit #I'm kind of impressed that he recognized my getting overwhelmed and acted on it of his own accord in this totally new environment #but points off because he created the problem

im in my apartment tonight peeling the ends of my asparagus while i prep the oven for a bake. i don't mind the texture of it, the toughness or the stringiness of it, but -- i miss my dad. he hates the fibrous bits! and he assumes that i do as well. whenever we'd have asparagus he'd painstakingly peel the whole bunch, no complaints. when i'd sous-chef for him, i'd be relegated to chopping-and-peeling duty. i'd take one look at the washed-and-strained bunch and i'd sigh. really? all of these? and he'd roll his eyes and respond with, do you want dinner soon, or not? i'd grumble and groan, i'd play the role, but the peeler would already be in my hand. once the batch had been roasted and served on the dinner table and we've taken a portion each, he'd ask, doesn't it taste better this way? and i'd chew on a stem and i'd chew on my answer and i'd nod in agreement. and yeah, it tastes great, but it didn't really bother me that much in the first place, is the thing.

anyways. i'm alone in my apartment tonight, and i've got a bunch of asparagus in front of me, washed-and-strained-and-peeled.

#penguin honks #i guess #smth experimental idk #not sure what this is but ahh i just had to get it out #adjacent but not related: something something how your love language is a remnant/extension of someone else's #acts of service is a big thing is my household. not the loudest sometimes but it's there and once noticed #it's almost impossible to un-notice #anyways! my dad is doin well heh i just miss him a lot right now #always miss him but #especially when i'm in the kitchen #sigh

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

If you think someone else has a “trash” opinion about the 2012 turtles:

only the first season is on Netflix

none of your favorite character development is in season 1

#since Netflix is still the ‘base standard’ streaming service most people have access to #I just checked paramount+ and it looks like they finally added through season 3 at least #and since people have forgotten how to pirate media… #Raph especially didn’t have much if any good development in the first season #and since rise was a lot of newer fans’ first experience with tmnt it’s a culture shock to watch othe iterations #I don’t blame ppl who can’t get through 2012 esp when they start from the beginning and only have access to s1 #please stop acting like these characters were perfect saints from the get-go #they were disaster teenagers #they grew a lot as people #but not in the first fucking season #apple talks
