another thing about the assistant angle is like. being there when bakugou reaches the hero top 40 and branches off with kirishima and sero and denki for their own agency. it's a bit of a mess bc they're barely twenty years old but—you're his only employee. he can barely afford to pay you and he doesn't even really know what you're supposed to do besides answer the phone and he's so emotionally unavailable but you're there, every single day. friendly with his friends. sometimes you bring lunch in for all of them and it's out of your own paycheck and it's not the best but you do it, for them. he lets you make the schedule for two weeks and you fuck it up so bad, but eventually you get it right and you try to be so fair—and that's hard to do, in the pro-hero world. there's nothing fair about a twenty year old man with trauma up to his ears risking his life every night because he doesn't know how to live with just himself, as just a man and not a hero, but goddamn it if you don't try to keep it fair, for every single one of them. you're one of his emergency contacts. you pick them up in the middle of the night when they're all the way across town, in another district police department bc that's where they caught the guy and where they have to turn him in. sometimes you bring their clothes or costumes home and wash them bc they don't get the chance. like it's everything.

I'm partial to Melody's palette in the 1999 adaptation of HxH, but the grey is growing on me! (Checkmarks indicate the designs I'm leaning towards; I'm really liking the bottom grey.)
She's been one of my favourite designs to translate so far!

OK WAIT THIS IS KINDA FUNNY
We don’t know much about what shit looks like in the Abyss. For all we know, the most fucked up shit is seen as mundane. Maybe even cute! Hence, I propose this interaction between my main squad during the Childe boss fight.
Childe: Behold, my horrifying and Abyssal FOUL LEGACY TRANSFORMATION
Xiangling: OH GOD OH NO OH THAT’S SO FUCKED UP! I don’t even wanna eat that it’s so nasty!!
Kaeya, speaking as if talking to a small animal: Aww, you look adorable! Does the little abomination to the Archons want some head scratches? Maybe a few dreams to devour as a snack? Oh I bet you do, you cute little guy!
Jean, usually cool-headed: KAEYA WHAT THE FUCK
Nigguang: In business, one must expect a wide variety of reactions to horrible circumstances or unfathomable truths. But...all my years of experience didn’t quite prepare me for this.
Kaeya, not even paying attention: C’mon little guy! I wanna see that cute tongue of yours, I’ll even let you have a bite of flesh as a treat! Who’s the sweetest, cutest, most abominable thing in existence?
Childe: *Is torn between feeling condescended to and wanting to respond with an enthusiatic ‘I am!!’ + get some head-scratches*

So I think I'm finally getting a contract and I'm going to start my new studies (as a youth/school counselor) in my old school. I met the principal today and had a talk with him, and he said he was pleased to see me there and would like to have me there because I already know my way around and seemed to manage things just fine when I was still their student. So, that's great, I'm finally getting somewhere.
But I'll have to wait until Friday because he's still not quite sure who's going to be my supervisor, so he's going to have a talk with a couple of staff members about it at first.
And then my teacher in my new school is already pressing me with contract matters and stuff, wanting me to start earlier than I had originally planned or at least get the contract done by then, so uhh. I'm going to have a Teams meeting with her on Friday at 8 o'clock in the morning (I'm not a morning person at all), and I'm sure we're going to have such a lovely discussion about my schedule and study plans and all that stuff.
All this phone-calling and paperwork is giving me a headache. And I still have some school assignments to do and to return before next week, and guess what - ya girl just wants to read and write fanfiction all day and all night. 🤪 Priorities, I has them.

You know what really isn't an accessible feature? The iPhone "try again in 5/10 minutes" thing when you type in your passcode wrong too many times in a row. Sir. It's 2am. My hands shake on a good day. I use the assistive touch feature in lieu of the home and side buttons since my fingers won't coordinate to click those. I misclick buttons every second of the freaking day.
Stop locking me out of my phone when I'm just trying to set my alarm for the next day. Seriously.

u can keyboard smash and I would be like yesss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 they deserve whatever the Oscar equivalent is to writing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
excited for all ur wips!!! I hope ur week just gets better and better 💖
WAAAAHHH tysm 🥺 what a blessing from you 🥺 i just love the angle, you know ?? bc it puts you directly in his path just about every single day. it's like. you're holding a piece of him together and it's not about whether he's allowing you to or wants you to; that's your job. and somewhere along the way 🥺 i think it could be easy for those lines to blur 🥺
another agency wants to talk with you about coverage and emergency patrol shifts, so you're going to have a sit-down meeting with them thursday. don't forget. you have late patrol that evening, so you'll have to come in a little early, unfortunately, i'm sorry. i'll have all the paperwork made up when you come in and we can go over there together. i'll bring water or tea. maybe we can get lunch afterwards, and then we can talk about the schedule for next week. how is your arm, by the way, from when you hurt it? do you need me to call the clinic and get you a refill on your pain meds? what about your inhaler or your heart med? are you feeling okay lately? your dad called about next tuesday but that's your only day off so maybe you should just rest. i don't mind coming in saturday to help you catch up with paperwork, it's no problem. don't stress about it, we'll get it done. you can walk me home if it makes you feel better.
LIKE IT'S EVERYTHING TO ME THE SHIFT CAN BE SO SUBTLE BUT SUDDENLY YOU WAKE UP AND YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT YOUR DAYS WITHOUT EACH OTHER WAAAHHH

Good news: I'm having a baby in about a month!
Bad news: My department chair can't actually ban me from taking parental leave like he clearly would like to, so instead he has dedicated himself to being the world's biggest asshole about it at all times
