#high risk - high reward

I love this one. 2, a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom, for hollow knight

Oh god you chose like. The one question where I have no answer to because the very few times Hollow's libido acts up, they really Do Not Care what position they take as long as they get relief. They inherited their mom's urge to breed but they absolutely hate the frenzied state that their heats throw them into so its very much just about whatever gets it stopped over distinct preference

Closest thing after that is the very specific scenario of PK and Grimm hatefucking, in which PK would absolutely never top Grimm because there is an element of submission/servitude there that defeats the entire point of the encounter. Wyrms aren't social, but they do have hierarchy, and larger, stronger, and more dominant wyrms are typically preferentially sought after to bear young because they're more suited to the task. This also means they don't have to work as hard to find a mate, because others will seek them out without them having to leave their burrows to do the hard and dangerous work of tracking down a fertile wyrm into their lands. So if an invader comes into another wyrm's territory, they're typically only there to either kill the residant or mate, and they usually have to find a way to impress the other wyrm before breeding happens- aka engage in a careful blend of ritualized sparring and submissive, appeasing gestures to avoid being eaten. So if Grimm saunters into PK's territory, that's a call to war where the only two options are to fight or fuck, and PK would never allow Grimm pull dominance over him- aka Grimm has to please him. It works out for Grimm, because he doesn't do wyrm bullshit and it's an amusing way to toy with a very dangerous entity, but no, PK would never top Grimm like he would for a partner he actually respects

Last week I sent out a Hail Mary application for a job as a library specialist in my old college town, and I fully excepted to be ghosted or sent a form email with the word "unfortunately" in it, but today I was told that I had been selected to move onto the next hiring phase. They want me to come to the library for an interview and a written test, and it pays two dollars more per hour than my current job (if I got a full 40 hours, that'd be $650 or $700 extra per month after taxes). This would literally be a dream come true were it not for the fact that they scheduled my test for this coming Wednesday, August 17th.

Problems:

I am 400 miles away.

I have no car.

I have a job to which I am currently employed and expected to show up on Wednesday.

"To ensure fairness for all candidates, requests for alternate or makeup assessment dates will not be granted."

What do I do? Do I pass this up, or do I throw away everything for a chance at a career. Not even a guaranteed career, just a chance, with who knows how many other applicants vying for the same position. I could quit my current job, take a coach bus up there, crash with my sister for a few days, take the test, and they pick someone else. Then what? It's high risk/high reward, but I'm not a betting man and I can't possibly be the most qualified person for the job (I'm an English major who has exclusively worked retail and customer service since high school).

I'm trying to convince myself it's not worth it to continue, but then why did I apply in the first place?

I want it.

I want it, but it's just as much luck as it is skill, and I can't afford to go for it and fail. If I do this, I either move on to the next phase of my life, OR I wind up stuck at my parents' place for a very, VERY long time. The job I have now is perfect for my mental health because it's easy, low stress, low stakes, and my boss doesn't care what I do in my considerable amount of downtime; I am basically paid to browse tumblr for hours and occasionally answer the phone/door. I'm never gonna find another job like this down in the Keys, it's lightning in a bottle, so if I give it up and don't land the library gig, I'll have to go back to bagging groceries or some shit. I can't do that again. I can't stand for 8 or 9 hours a day. I can't return to the "the customer is always right" mindset when my current boss knows the customer is very often wrong and expects me tell them so. I can't do it. I won't. Certainly not for less than I make now (my job pays well over minimum wage; most jobs down here do not)

My boss is pretty lenient, but I don't think she's lenient enough to give me multiple days off, on such short notice, for the express purpose of finding another job. She wouldn't let me come back after that. I can't unburn that bridge.

I don't know what to do...

A deficit in that area is considered a disadvantage, and those are where the true opportunities lie. A man down on his literal luck that can persevere is treated quite kindly by the fates. Likewise, for those that fail despite impressively wonderful odds. High risk, high reward, as they say.

I'm sure it's only a coincidence that a few days after Putin says Biden "needs to be undermined from the left" to help Trump win, noted Russian agent Jill Stein, who the Kremlin already extensively promoted in 2016 in the successful effort to hurt HRC, and who already endorsed fellow pro-Russian tankie Cornel West, jumps back into the 2024 race as the "Green Party candidate" talking about how "the two-party system has failed us."

For the love of fuck, let's not do this again.

#hilary for ts #politics for ts #kinda hoped she was dead ngl #can we upfront demystify the notion that she is anything except a russian agent trying to help trump win again #because yeah #putin understands exactly how to manipulate the american left and does so extensively #and they take the bait every time #which is why it is such a low-risk high-reward strategy for him #but as we know #fascism and genocide Good as long as an Anti Western person does it!!!!1

i don't want to reblog it directly because i don't want to start drama but. someone on one of my posts just said the reason they don't reblog art sometimes is because you have to click TWO buttons and maybe scroll for a second. instead of just clicking "like" as you go through the dash. like it was a normal thing to say to an artist who sometimes spends hours or days working on stuff to post. not to be a former dA user on main but... tiktok poisoning

#spend five seconds on someone's art and they'll love you forever. low risk high reward. it's so easy... #shebbz shoutz

"You grow prideful when you activate your Dark Matter's power! Yes, it will incapacitate me with one hit. However!"

Watching more anime made me wanna draw Zan training Mags in a melee combat vs magic situation where if he hits her JUST ONCE in a set of spars without using ANY MAGIC to assist him (aka in antimagic setup) hed be worthy of being called a Master of Dark Matter.

Antimagic cuts off the flow of magic from a caster's Soul Matter to a spell. Its a blocking ability that renders spellcasters magic useless. It breaks through all magic barriers, nullifies any spell the antimagic comes into contact with (in this case, it has to make contact with Mags' blade.) Activating this ability however means that the activator must also give up using all magic for that duration -- no shields, no projectile spells, no nothing. Its the limits of the body against forces beyond it.

#he can only defend himself from the magic attacks he can physically hit. its a high risk high reward ability. #kirby #magolor #zan partizanne #kirby fanart #opal owl’s nest #I like to think Hyness has this ability too :)

It's fucking crazy that Caleb has trent's ring of telepathy (oh my god a trophy, a trophy of his voice that you took from him, using his means of getting in your head etc etc) but it's even more nuts that the way I became aware of this is that he uses it to to make an intimidation check against a fucking betrayer god

#i think he uses it earlier but i didn't put it together until then #thinking about her (Caleb's high-risk high-reward charisma maneuvers) <3 #actually i think my last post about Caleb's cha roleplay was one of my first to get more than like 10 notes #anyways they rly I-have-no-mouth-and-I-must-scream'ed that bitch. don't think i forgot. don't think i ever forgot. #lena watches cr #mighty nein reuinited

as much as i love the fact that prev tags is back, why did you put her right above 'unfollow account' in the meatballs. every venture into the tags is one where i could betray my mutual

You know that moment in FE: Awakening where Robin decides to light an entire naval fleet on fire by rigging their own ships? And it was kinda insane but it somehow managed to work? That is the manic energy in which I imagine Kiran approaches ALL their tactics with. Every battle you can pinpoint the exact moment where Kiran goes “you know what? fuck it” and unleashes some god of death onto the battlefield.

With that perspective, you gotta give credit to Veronica. She’s sees that bullshit and is like “yeah I could punt kick that twink.”

#that 14 year old has balls of steel #Bruno is stressed #So is Alfonse #Kiran threw Grima onto the battlefield with 40% confidence that he’d actually listen to them #Totally worth it. That’s the high risk high reward Kiran works best in babeyyyyy #feh #fire emblem heroes #feh kiran #kiran #feh veronica #veronica #fire embem awakening #fe robin #robin

if constantine MUST be in a jl/batfam storyline it would be infinitely better if they had to track him down and find him during one of his ridiculous side missions than constantine just being on league speed dial. like diana and bruce following the long trail of a laughably horrific adventure john is on, only to find him hungover and depressed in an alleyway unwilling to cooperate and too busy with his inner monologue

#also i'd find it funny if at the end of a super sad arc batman and wonder woman show up like 'finally you are not easy to get a hold of' #and john is just like 🖕🖕 #also the whole time the more they learn about the guy diana is more convinced they shouldn't use him #hiring john is very high risk low reward #john constantine #hellblazer #jlu #diana prince #bruce wayne #ugh #uhhh #i'm not tagging batfam #but also 🤔clout #dc comics
