#essential job that's not fun

AU where Phoenix is a drama teacher and Edgeworth is an English teacher and they’re both really weird about Shakespeare

Or

drama teacher!Phoenix and dance teacher! Edgeworth have to work together for a high school play without trying to kill each other (it gets real fuckin close)

#I’ve seen Phoenix as an art teacher which is great but that guy would make an excellent drama teacher #he’s so silly #the essence of narumitsu is giving these guys essentially the same job but keeping them as petty haters #also I feel like only the gayest people are drama and English teachers #anyway every AU where phoenix is doing theater stuff is my favorite #I think that he and Trucy would bond over being performers and I kinda want to have fun with it rather than be sad with it #I think they should join a community theater program and not tell anyone during the 7yg #it would be funny #narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #edit: I haven’t been in any sort of theatre program in like a decade and I miss it

Of course Aubrey had heard of the Council before. I mean– who hadn’t? They didn’t necessarily rule the streets, or Night City’s underworld for that matter, but they sure as hell loved to rub their asses all over it at any given opportunity and never in his years of being a fixer himself had he felt the need to associate himself with any of them. He understood why it was necessary, sure– the agreements they made and the city-wide gang activity they monitored and reported to one another were a vital part of ensuring business stability as well as their own survival– but he knew the biz well enough to not trust the feigned kindness and so-called sense of community they supposedly aimed for. Everyone always had their own agenda. None of it was simply out of the kindness of their hearts, to ensure the safety of the innocent citizens of Night City– it would be naive of him to think so and by then he knew better than to let wishful thinking cloud his judgment.

#cp2077 #edit:aubrey #nuclearocs #nuclearedits #SEB AND LEON BELONG TO RED REAPERKILLER BY THE WAY IF YOU EVEN CARE #the writing is from a work in progress fic in which aubrey meets vitali!! it happens all the way in 2083 LMAO #aubrey as a fixer is so interesting to think about because he's essentially as good of an employer as vitali is #but his methods are SO different. he's a lot less serious and it's all about a good atmosphere for him #whereas vitali is a lot more professional and likes a more serious approach so he's able to keep his mercs fully safe and secure #aubrey also values their safety but he accepts death as part of the job description a lot better than vitali does usually #mercenaries know the risks and aubrey can do his best to give them the means to protect themselves properly #but if they die they die y'know. not much else to do about that. it can keep him up at night but he wouldn't spiral like vitali would #also the affiliations slide was like trench warfare to me but i won are you proud of me. it looks so FUN

Babygirl I can concieve of stephcass dynamics you couldn't even imagine (arospec Cass not understanding why "probably bi but has a job so she doesn't have time to think about that" Steph apparently needs a man (she doesn't, it would just be nice) and doesn't want to platonically settle down with cass in their old age)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephcass #another sure to be no-notes banger #anyway I think steph and cass are both very. meh on labels #like i said Steph has a job (in my heart it's retail or like a fast food joint or something but in canon its just being batgirl/spoiler) #so she's not thinking about that rn #and cass was raised so outside of conventional society that she. technically understands why ppl want labels for things #but when you grow up in essentially a few rooms with just you and one other guy 90% of the time it just feels unnecessary in her heart #likewise she was raised so far from conventional romance and has such strong emotions about those she cares about #that she's just. not that interested in delineating romantic vs platonic feelings. She Likes You. Deal w/ it #steph on the other hand. oh boy steph #I'm not gonna say comphet I genuinely think she was deeply madly in love w/ tim and that's important to her character #but at the same time she's so. she's so #steph puts a lot of stock in her romantic relationships bc shes on a perpetual quest for connection and to be seen and appreciated #but. at the same time. she resents that part of her i think (at least early spoiler characterization does?- #-local girl desperately wants your approval and would rather be waterboarded than admit that to herself bc that's embarrassing) #so she's just kinda. acting like she's in it for the fun of it but that girl is searching for a soulmate #i genuinely think pre break-up she thought tim was the guy she was gonna marry. not consciously but if it were anyone it'd be him #and the whole ''married with kids'' thing IS something i think she wants. not every female character wants to be married/a mom #but Stephanie does imo #(also lets not even get into how much her breakup with tim SHOULD'VE effected her considering how it went down- #-and how that was never really gone into besides being hinted at in batgirls and kinda. dismissed in Tim's pride special- #-like on the one hand i get it bc of optics but on the other hands. he's really important to her! this should make her so much more upset!! #ahem. anyway #I'm not even the worlds biggest tim/stephanie guy i just think they're inch resting #and Cass. is close w/ Tim and Steph and should Get all of this since she's so adept at reading ppl #but like I said she's bad at categorizing platonic/romantic feelings in herself and doesn't totally Get it w/ steph #i should just write fic about this at this point these tags are too much

Had to go to an event for work last night with like 300+ people and I was literally the only person in the room wearing a mask. Not a surprise, but … I’m exhausted.

#like yeah let’s just breathe in each others dirty air. sounds fun! #also the way people treat me as a visibly queer person in a mask is so uncomfortable #I’m not outright harassed thank goodness but I am essentially shunned #which makes my job difficult to do #COVID #covid 19 #long COVID #COVID isn’t over #wear a mask #wear your mask #disability rights #disability justice #disability advocacy #disabled

#gonna ramble about irl here so people don't have to read it unless they want to #so because I got covid and couldn’t leave my bed I've essentially lost my job #I've told my manager I'm okay to go back to work #even if my body is still sore #but she's only given me a 3 hour shift a week #and you guessed it! #it's the late shift #the one where it takes me almost 2 hours to get home from #she's being so petty with me #and I am so behind in rent #I've applied for government assistance and I have a meeting with them tomorrow #I really hope they can help because I feel awful #I'm also annoyed at myself because I can't find my knee brace ANYWHERE #I thought I could find one for around $10 but nope! #the closest stores selling them are like $25+ so that's fun #I don't know when I'll be able to draw again #I'm so stressed again about money and secueing work #hopefully once I can get govt assistance at least I can enjoy life again #also I tried to ask the zine that still owes me money if they could finally send payment but they still keep delaying it with excuses #I'm so desperate it's shameful

hi, I don't use tumblr often, but i when i do, i always check your account to check if you posted something. LIAB is amazing. i truly have no words. i have read a LOT of fanfics from very different fandoms and i can confidently say that Leaving It All Behind is the best one i have ever read. the world you've built around the main characters is so deep, and realistic. even though benders are not real, it feels like i'm reading about true events. you describe the horrors of war and trauma so well. i'm actually very, very impressed. i happen to be a person that suffers from ptsd and other mental illnesses and and the way you portray traumatized characters is very realistic. i know you always say that the main characters' recovery is unrealistically fast, but don't worry about that. the way you describe zuko and sokka's feelings is perfect. their recovery doesn't seem rushed. it just looks like they're adapting and learning how to deal with it fast (we have to remember that the war is still very much happening and sadly they don't have a lot of time to deal with everything that happened to them). i'm so grateful i found your work. it's truly amazing, i hope you won't give up on writing when you finish the LIAB trilogy. have a good day/night

AWWWW OMG THANK YOU <3

seriously this was so kind I’m still in shock. I’m so happy you think the healing arc is realistic because I try to balance the stories pace with the characters struggles and emotions (some of them make it DIFFICULT haha) but I’m always worried it doesn’t translate well.

I have a lot of fun writing LIAB & I’m really glad you like it so much. I hope I continue to make you proud & thank you so much for this amazing ask you made my day <3

#This is so validating you have no idea ahhhh #I have read so many fics where the chatacter (zuko lol) has gone through extreme trauma or torture and he gets rescued or escapes #& then it’s like after a quick patch up job he is essentially back to normal #Which… no. lol. I can’t do it! #Trauma follows a person whether they like it or not & everyone copes differently to it #So even with zuko and sokka going through so much they’ll both handle their trauma completely different #I try to show that lol so I’m glad you like it #I am totally worried about the upcoming battle though #Cause shits about to get really rough #But we are in a fun arc right now (as fun as liab can be it’s a fic about children fighting a war so idk… I’d say 25% fun 75% angst) #So we have a few more fun chapters idk 4/5 and then we are on the home stretch #Idk what I’ll do when it’s over this has been so much fun and I’m so sad it’ll come to an end this year #But thanks again for this amazing ask #Its comments and asks like this that pets the head and makes me feel like a good author lol #Gets me fired up to finish the fic! #Wohoooo thank you !!! #Deansnoodle #Zukka #liab #ITF #RIA #ask #Leaving it all behind

I still can't get over how much of a dirty scam the pricing is for Pokemon Masters. Like..

14,000 gems for 80 dollars? excuse me? who the crap is wasting their money like that on a game that barely has any real function as a game?

it's NOT worth it. AT ALL. you're not even fully guaranteed to get whatever character(s) you're aiming for with it.

if you want to do those 2 1-limit paid-only gems sync scouts they have rn you've have to pay $80 for the 10,000 you'll need since they're 5000 gems each. sure it sounds like a lot you're getting, but man. I don't think it's worth it.

I refuse to give this game my money. idk how people fall into this gacha scam. please save your money for something that's actually more useful and important.

#ghostie mumbles #still mad about this. it boggles my mind how people aren't more upset about this. #all these 'good' characters are locked behind a paywall and given rare times they're brought out for a limited chance to MAYBE get them-- #--when you use your gems :| #people need to riot over gacha games like this. it's not fun it's not cool or cute. #maybe it's cuz I am not rich. don't have a job. and have grown up scraping by each month. but like.. come on. really?? #THAT expensive for something that is essentially the same as everything else in it just with a fancy little coat of paint and name change? #I love Pokemon. but this game just ain't it. #hand some top tier stuff out for free to give me some incentive to log in more and check in for the freebies. make things more-- #--easily obtainable. THAT is how you can improve it just a little. #lower your dang prices too. this is bullcrap sdkfjdsfhdsf

question. whose muse would legitimately go to sweeney? like. HE'S NOT MURDERING ALL THE TIME. he picked strangers to murder, not people well known in the community (sans the judge and beadle). he doesn't kill anyone if someone comes with them (re: the scene where the guy brings his daughter with him while he gets a shave) so like... if you take one of these precautions to give your muse plot armor, IT WOULD BE FUN.

#barbers and hairdressers r essentially therapists #this man used to love his job #just like. u know. this could be fun #i want to make a gifset of just josh shaving people and not killing them LMFAO bc it's so stimmy to watch #like my a-spec ass loves to see it #idk if he cuts women's hair or anything????? a barber shop is usually [jenna m*rbles voice] JUST FOR MEN #but uhhhhh we can be flexible methinks #what is historical accuracy if but a vague suggestion! #WISH LIST.

It's been so long since I've had to exist within a group of people consistently over many days and damn, I nearly forgot I was autistic. I found out yesterday that though I get along with almost everyone at work, most of my coworkers thought I was a huge bitch who hated everyone for a little bit (and one still does, which is how this whole thing came up at all). I was bewildered like. No I'm very often dizzy or in a bit of pain and I'm very focused on taking care of the dogs but I'm not - I don't dislike any of you? I've never been mad at you, you guys thought I was mad?? Just an alarming disconnect between the way I see myself and the way I come off to others. I have never once gotten the hang of behaving like a regular person, but it appears that time has taken me from "generally silly person with an offbeat sense of humor who doesn't take things seriously" to "stoic hardass who doesn't like you and thinks you're stupid also." I did not authorize this change. It's throwing me for a loop. I feel like I'm 6 again being told to stop talking over people's heads because I just learned a new big word and I wanted to use and share it. I like assholes with a heart of gold in media. I don't want to be one??

#Like I've essentially been locked alone in a room for three years almost four due to the pandemic #And before that my big job was working in a warehouse where we mostly worked separately #But I remember the times we did socialize I fit in #But I also remember my coworkers were all nerds and that helped #Like idk I feel like I've been sleeping for years and woke up to being a different person #I know it's been hard for me to manage migraines and such (though it's getting easier or I'm just in a good proud period) #But damn #Everyone I've talked to at work figured out pretty quickly that I really can be fun to talk to #But this one girl is avoiding me and I think it's because I was stressed on Thanksgiving day #And probably went from an unknown to a definite asshole in her mind #So I need to talk to her but having it explained to me last night like #'I told her it's not anything personal and you're just kind of like that with everyone' and I was like #Fuck! Am I awful to interact with initially?? Or worse - always until you adapt?

#no shade to her but 😵‍💫 #is he doing the same for you then- #sounds like a whole shift and most of these dudes out here aren’t really worth going this hard for if I’m being honest- #women stand UP #like I guess she doesn’t mind oh well but sm of these women sound so Proud about it it’s almost as if they’re hypnotized to be their #partners’ servants essentially #again it’s what she wants/doesn’t see it as a big deal but sm bw go above and beyond for the most bottom barrel dudes who’d never do the #same for them it’s so #well it’s whatver its her relationship have fun #rambling #I just saw another post of some girl talking about how if you like a guy you should help him fill out his job applications (do the whole #process and all of the paperwork for him) and I kind of screamed #he’s too grown to have someone else do his paperwork needed for him to get a job #please………. #I can see helping but not doing it for him omg

this week is going to be so dicey besties but i am being very brave about it

#have to go act as an auditor essentially for a job function related to mine and everyone i have spoken to has been like #🤠 they're gonna fucking hate you. you know this right? you know they're going to hate you and that it's going to be #sooooo awkward and bad? #not exaggerating like 5 separate people have conveyed this to me jdhdhdhghgj #on top of that need to make 2-3 presentations for external institutions #and give a presentation i am not ready for at a conference on thursday #and tell my boss and my boss's boss i'm dropping out #and also just as a fun bonus the roof of my car is for some reason leaking now 😎😎😎😎😎 #NEVERTHELESS SHE PERSISTED ETC ETC #blondiepost #okay byeeeee #ALSO thankyou to everyone who was so nicey to me yesterday. and always. kiss etc

i mean i knew jensen hated dean’s ending but i don’t think i realized just how much searing anger this dude was holding in until the winchesters happened. it’s extremely entertaining to watch. 

#it's like a gone girl monologue every week #the incandescent RAGE of it all #i fully support this #the guy essentially gave fifteen years of his life for a job that did not think twice about fucking him over at the finish line #like he fully held that show up almost all by himself for FIFTEEN YEARS and everyone knew it #and they still had the audacity to do what they did? out of what was apparently andrew dabb's pure neckbeard spite? #nah let's burn it down #anyway i'm having fun #this is fun #spn hasn't been this fun since..........idk like 2013 #the winchesters #spnwin #jensen ackles

even is nowhere near an engineer, but they are, by necessity, a quick learner, and by nature, someone who will acquire whatever skills they think are necessary to make themself invaluable. combine that with the fact that the Doctor’s TARDIS is in a constant state of on the fritz/in need of repairs/just being tinkered with by him because he’s bored, and they do pick up a few things. (and obviously, to someone whose entire life has been dependent on their ship Functioning Or Else They’re Fucked In Deep Space, the TARDIS being damaged even slightly is stressful! they want to know how to fix it! they won’t die immediately anymore (probably) if the ship they live on malfunctions, but it’s hard to shake that instinct.)

Which means even does have a pretty thorough knowledge of how to repair and recognize TARDIS parts. Without really knowing what they’re doing, but knowing how to figure out a solution, even if they have to brute force the answer. Think of it like trying to do physics without having any understanding of calculus and instead having to use algebra — completely possible, but frustrating and much more likely to lead to mistakes — AND also the guy teaching you is a substitute teacher who speaks in a language he made up for his D&D group half the time and if you ask him what a word means because you can’t understand what the fuck he’s saying, he goes off on tangents about the etymology of it, forgetting that he’s supposed to be teaching you. physics. they have the world’s most convoluted understanding of how a TARDIS works, but like. about 75% of the time they can identify what’s gone wrong and 50% of the time, they might even be able to solve it themself if they can find the right tools. (*success rate will vary depending on level of stress they’re under.)

(to a much lesser extent, the same goes for piloting, although that’s much more cause-and-effect observation combined with information the doctor throws at them in the heat of the moment. which leads to a knowledge base that’s a bit like not knowing how a car’s steering wheel works, but definitely knowing where both the blinkers and the accelerator are and how to make use of them. even very much cannot fly a tardis alone (or, not effectively. MAYBE through space if they’re under pressure, but they don’t have the sense for time that time lords do. not hooked into that matrix.) but they know enough to be very useful to someone else flying one who can direct them.)

#even does not have anywhere near even like. a fifth of the knowledge the doctor has. a tenth. but the stuff they do know is very #specifically things they made sure to memorize because they are essential to keeping their new home functioning. #also i used physics here but even is actually a fair hand at physics. part of the job you know. waste disposal on a starship is about being #able to drop things off the ship safely and not create a speeding missile that might run into something else out there because there’s no #friction in space to slow down your garbage if you just toss it out a shute #as well as. obviously and more importantly. the reuse of any and all materials that can be salvaged. #a thing is not trash until it has been completely and utterly used up to even. (or the resources needed to keep it functioning outweight #the benefits of keeping it. which. is an unfortunate thing for them to believe. when they have viewed themself and others as resources #before people for so long. something to be unlearned.) #even also knows which buttons on the console just exist so that the doctor can have fun pressing them. shared tardis console stim toy. #dw oc

me and my down bad for kuukou hours always, was listening to a radio show featuring iwasaki-san and hayama-san, and hayama-san was talking about the types of roles he’s done and he described kuukou as the ‘powerful sun’ type and i just started weeping LOL

#this is vee speaking #like he said ‘well they’re both characters with the sun attribute but kuukou has power behind his’ #and i had to take a moment lmao thank you for acknowledging the very obvious hayama-san i’m a sucker for it LMAO #it was a two parter show and hayama-san wasn’t as active in pt1 ​but i’ve been learning lots of new information about him in pt2 lol #like ik he had a background working in bars but tdil he also worked at a pachinko parlour #and was essentially a sales consultant for an​ elder couple’s business lol that seemed to be the job he had the most fun with #i also learned he knows how to play the trumpet lol!!!!! #kuukou: maybe can play guitar and is very comfortable with the elder population #hayama: can play trumpet and is very comfortable working with the elder population #more reasons why they’re the same person LOL
