#i should try to reach out to people

[supercalime]

Honest question, why do yall care? I mean, if it’s real, good for them but like, this feels so gross. I’ve seen how fans treat them like characters, they deserve all the privacy they can get, relationship or not

#also looking back there’s a lot of signs that it is fake #I’ll list them if anyone cares: #first the shipping has been weird specially from the perspective of assuming Shayne’s sexuality #he’s been saying he’s straight since forever and court is enby #so doing so you’re actively trying to out him #Courtney would never wear a dress like that #also court would do something with their hair #those photos look like all the photos Brennan takes #the engagement one was probably shot in the same day with a shitty phone to fool yall #there are literally no pictures of them inside a venue or with anyone else #the only people sharing stuff are smosh people #those pics have already been edited and to edit wedding photos it takes a long ass time #it wouldn’t be possible to have them ready by Monday if they married on Friday #they’ve wanted to have the podcast to reach a certain amount of views in 24h #and what better way to do so then to lean into the parasocial babies who can’t diferentiate real and fiction? #anyway #I feel bad for them #if I’m taking out of my ass here and the marriage is true #they deserved privacy #they deserved to not have every interaction they had not be analyzed #no one should have to hide a relationship in fear of public response #lety rambles #shourtney #shartney #shortney #Smosh #Courtney miller #shayne topp

Prayers appreciated I guess. Mental health is still eh and spiritual health isn’t any better.

#prayer request #I want to write out thoughts but I also should just sleep too #I’m so tired of all of this #I want to not live in this world where everything is crap and doesn’t get better only harder and more confusing and painful #I think the church thing would *maybe* be easier if my family also wanted to try out other churches and initiated it #but if it’s up to me I just don’t care enough and I don’t even know how to start with anything #and of course the one that has a young adult service has it when everyone else in the family has stuff going on #and it’s at the church that wants to destroy your eardrums in worship #like I like the vibe and the sermons but having to put in ear plugs to even walk into worship? hate that #and I hear my sister say that people miss me or are praying and I’m like #‘okay cool….have your considered trying to reach out and talk to me? or is that too much work?’

My course coordinator, for the entire week: WHY ARE YOU BEING SO LENIENT WITH YOUR STUDENTS

Me, running in the opposite direction: I DON'T LIKE BEING MEAN

#teaching #she's just like....you really went to the effort of Zooming this student to verify that they did try to submit? #when they should have been checking their email and seen that you were reaching out when the paper was due? #and therefore they had fair warning? #me: ....yes #she's going to strangle me when I get back next semester lol #I just feel like if checking emails and Blackboard acting up was a problem with multiple people #then I shouldn't penalize the student for it #and next semester I'm doing an entire presentation on needing to check emails and also how to get rid of junk email #aka unsubscribe and assign action to specific senders

The constant repetition of Yorozu's "love" speech to Sukuna makes me wonder. Is this actually referring to Gojo and how he is schooling Sukuna accidentally about what love can do to a person?

Despite all the sociopath allegations (fuck the guy that popularize that stupid take), Gojo knows love and he is capable of love.

Why is he fighting so hard right now? Is it really to win a dick measuring contest with Sukuna? NO!

Gojo is already comfortable with his own skin (Going back to this point later). He knows he is The Strongest. He even stated it so at the beginning of the fight. Sukuna is the challenger. The King of Curses is the one who is trying to win a dick measuring contest here.

Gojo has nothing to prove but he has everything to lose because he loves his kids. He is very bad at showing it at times because he is an overgrown adult gremlin. Yet, everything he does, it is always towards a future where the youth would not experience the same hell as he did. He doesn't want another Geto and Amanai.

It is because of the love Gojo has for his students that he is still alive and kicking despite all odds. He makes the impossible possible because he refuses to let the kids down - to pass on his burden to them again like in Shibuya. It is not his Limitless or Six Eyes that is making him The Ultimate Strongest right now. It's love.

However, love not only brings strength. It also brought solitude to Gojo's life.

Let's clarify something first. Loneliness is different from solitude. The former is negative because it was born from isolation and punishment. The latter is positive because it grants rejuvenation and freedom.

Loneliness makes you hate everything about the world and even feel shame about yourself because you were left alone. Solitude makes you appreciate the world more because you are comfortable with your true self so nothing can ever bring you down.

Unlike what most of us think, Gojo does not exude loneliness - it's actually solitude. He is absolutely extremely at ease with himself (as stated earlier). He owns all the bad parts and good parts of himself which makes him deadly adaptable to anything the world throws at him. Shit happens but Gojo will keep moving forward.

Geto once asked "Are you the strongest because you are Gojo Satoru or are you Gojo Satoru because you are the strongest?" I guess, we can answer that now.

Gojo Satoru is the strongest because he is full of love. He loves the people around him (source of his ultimate strength) and he loves himself (solitude-fueled creativity and adaptability).

#jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #another angle to think about here #if gojo is “teaching” in this fight about love #and sukuna is fucking missing it #maybe just maybe it's a lesson for megumi?! #i mean way way back gojo got through megumi's head the lesson about risking death to win and dying to win during a spar #could this be an extreme rehash of it? #gojo is trying to reach out to megumi by showing how there are other people he can love and gain strength from #and that he should accept himself - his achievements (saving itadori et al) and fuck ups (tsukimi's death) to be free #please let it be so #or maybe this all just some crazy rambling

[yutaleks]

Hi aleks, sometimes I feel like, no one wants to connect on this social media site? Idk. The like to rb ratio is depressing. I mean, I’m grateful that people are liking my posts. But like. I wanna hear what they think too, ya know?

not sure if you are a writer im guessing from the wording of this ask that you are. but I think it's a bit hard these days to get the level of interaction that you may be asking for

depending on what fandom youre in or what character youre posting about or what trope youre writing etc etc the size of the audience will change. like I already know in my mind if im writing something that is more geared towards stereotypical heteronormative relationships that will get much more interaction than something that is subversive. or if im writing a fic for a popular character that will get much more interactions than a not so popular one.

But at the same time, coming from someone who used to write for a very popular character, I have to say that the grass is not always greener? As in, I think there is a difference between quantity and quality of interactions. If im writing something that I know a core base of people who follow me will like, I know I will most likely get at least some sort of interaction from people who typically enjoy that content. I find that interaction to be more meaningful, especially if it's something I enjoy talking about. vs, if I write something with a bigger 'audience', perhaps there will be more reblogs but the back and forth interaction does not happen. that person will read the fic, reblog or leave a comment, and then be on their way. It does not create this relationship where you end up having a back and forth conversation or becoming mutuals or anything like that (at least, in my experience).

Like if I post a fic that EYE enjoy, and I get ten comments from lovely people, that means more to me than a hundred interactions on a fic I didn't put my whole dick into. ya know?

idk where im going with this. I guess I wanna say if you are passionate about something, and you receive even a few bits of feedback, that will feel so much more rewarding than trying to 'chase' the feedback by writing things you think others will enjoy. and I think too that people will be able to tell when you are writing something that you feel passionate about.

im of the opinion that you can't force people to reblog and interact with your work. ive seen every excuse under the sun for why people wont reblog. but I think if someone feels as passionate about something as you do, they will overcome whatever shyness they feel to come tell you that they appreciate what you are doing

#idk if what I said makes any sense but #I think coming into Tumblr as a writer its okay to want a better rb to like ratio but don't feel discouraged #there is a lot stacked against you right now #no one that I know uses the tags anymore cause they are full of spam #so sometimes the fics that appear on the dashboard are just mutuals reblogging each other. and as a newbie those circles are hard to get in #so someone with no writer mutuals and no following... their posts wont be seen by anyone with significant pull/reach #I would say that I think 'bigger' writers on here should at least try every once and a while to peek into the tags and boost writers #that are new / starting out and making genuine efforts to write #I wont explain but I think when you've been on here long enough you can tell who is posting in the tags for 'Tumblr clout' and who I postin #fic bc they genuinely are passionate about it #but I know most writers on here only read whatever they see on their dash #if people actually stopped spamming the tags with nonsense and the tags were more useable I think we would all use them more... ironic #anyway. I personally always try to reblog fics with comments and check the tags every once and a while for fics to read #I think that is best practice for writers but I know not everyone does that... #in the same vein #i think if you put effort into being a good reader consistently. writers with larger followings will notice / want to be mutuals and help #boost your writing to the dashboard #writing fic is a community that takes genuine effort to grow #TLDR: be a good reader and reblog fics and interact with writers. write things that come from your heart. interactions will follow with tim #*time #long post #ϟ asking aleksandria

Urgh, I'm too old for this drama.

#earlier this day i found out that this guy in my class messaged one of our teachers that i should be kicked out of the group project #because i have no “cooperation” #and my mind was like “wtf? you didn't even reach out to me that you needed a hand” #also how should i know when throughout the time i got in the same group as him he just grabbed most of the work #i once reached out to him to know if there was a problem but nah he left me on read #yep. never again:) #this is why i stopped giving my 100% best at school because i know some people will try and bring me down #this is the worst school year ever — i'm surrounded by egoistic ppl #i am protecting my peace here don't you dare drag me into your immature mess. you and the others already ruined my friends' self-esteem

[unloneliest]

the problem of the matter is i did internalize so much of what ex friend believed about me. even though i knew he was wrong and knew what was happening and tried to stop it and if i took more action to stop it would have been abusing power i held in a way i couldn't live with myself for.

#A BAD PERSON TRYING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE WOULD'VE GOTTEN YOU FIRED AND EVICTED IN WINTER IN ALASKA YOU MOTHERFUCKER. WHICH I DID NOT DO #he was renting a room from my dad. for cheaper than he wouldve been able to find anywhere else. his brother was too #his brother didn't pay rent for over 6 months and my dad just forgave him the debt because my dad knew how much of a difference it wouldve #made when he was that age. and i had told him ex friend was family to me & my dad applied that to the brother too. bc he is a good person. #and one of the strongest parts of my support system. and i didn't say a word to him about what was happening until i knew he already had a #plan for when he would be ending ex friend's lease. so there would be no subconscious impact on ex friend's housing either #mgmt at work straight up asked me if i thought ex friend should be fired immediately multiple times and i'm in retrospect livid they put me #in that position but told them to go by the strike system in the employee handbook and to follow policy that ex friend knew perfectly. that #it couldn't be on me as acting assistant manager to choose #and after 10 months of workplace harassment i got a different job to save my life. ex friend didn't get fired. #he did saw trap shit to my brain!!!!!! jesus christ #he moved cross country to live with his long time gf he called his wife despite never having met irl. to a way more conservative state. #despite being gay. and she left him this summer lol #hadn't checked his twitter in over a year when it got pulled up frm an old link and i saw that. and when he was already at a low point too #me voice. oh no who could've seen this coming. from how you behave in every relationship in your life #may delete this in the morning. but i have to talk about it sometimes #i'm never reaching out for closure both bc he wouldn't give me any and because i know it would trigger him and i don't intentionally trigge #people. unlike him :) #vampire pit #like. i have to talk about it sometimes. i have to talk about it. #jam posts

[toastsnaffler]

sometimes I wish I was a more interesting + charismatic person just so I could keep conversations going bc I like sharing space with other ppl but they routinely lose all interest and leave once I run out of things to say/start talking abt things that don't concern them :-(

#and boy do I run out of things to say so fast when I'm talking to friends who ik dont give a fuck abt any of my interests... #theres only so much i can make small talk or ask them questions abt their own interests/lives yknow. man #it just makes me feel like im constantly competing with smth else for other ppls attention all the time + constantly losing #eg. when i say smth + my flatmate reaches for her headphones a little dark souls banner appears across my vision like INTERACTION FAILED #and i can feel my rsd + insecurities praying on it like the more i feel this way the more it prophetically fulfils itself #by making me less willing to try and take up space so i become a smaller and smaller person around others #it frustrates me a lot sometimes and i dont rly have the will rn to undo that and force myself to take up more space regardless #ik this sounds like a water is wet complaint like oh nooo woe is me people get bored of me when i talk abt boring things (!!) #but when im spending time w ppl i like i enjoy listening to them talk even if im not interested in the subject bc its Them talking #and if they care abt smth then its worth hearing abt!! to me anyway. but it rly feels like no one reciprocates that idk #oh well not that it matters. at least i like the shit im into so i can talk to myself abt it in my head or on this site lmao #and i like myself as a person even if other people dont so theres always that. ur no 1 should always be urself <3 #voicing this makes me feel so stupid + embarrassed urgh. i hate being anxious abt dumb shit i hate being the sort of person who worries #that their friends privately dislike/just tolerate them or whatever bc id never want a friend to worry abt whether i thought that abt them #and im not naturally a very insecure person!! i think im just feeling particularly vulnerable atm bc of the season + jobhunting so long #+ the fact im dissatisfied with my current social life + still feel very wobbly from not having other ppl i can trust or rely on etcetcetc #and thats just bleeding into other areas. and it sucks a lot. but theres nothing to be done abt it rn bc im not going to communicate it #to other ppl bc im not pathetic enough to make my anxieties someone elses problem + beg for pity attention im too proud for that 👍 #anyway. gonna play some noita + then i rly need to work out today bc thats probs part of why im feeling so shite #if ur reading this ignore me im just venting itll pass. i hope youre having a nice day :^) #.vent #.diaries

#i should really be asleep right now but #i've been thinking about like. when i get really badly depressed and #like. when a friend reaches out while i'm feeling like no one cares and no one misses me when i'm not around and no one notices my absence #or worse that people notice my absence and are relieved or something #anyway like when a friend reaches out and that feels good but it also feels bad? #like. i don't want my friends to worry about me or whatever when i get depressed and isolate myself more and stuff #and them reaching out feels good because like. friend #but it also means they Noticed and that feels Bad #so then yeah i tell myself 'i don't want my friends to worry about me' but then that isn't true #i do want my friends to worry about me and to care about me but then when i get that like. in practice it feels bad #so then i try to distance myself from and lie to myself and say 'i don't want that' but yeah i did it just wasn't good or nice #i don't know where i'm going with this but just. i don't know #i just want to believe anyone loves me or misses me or wants me around #and for the most part i don't #lyrablogging

As an afab nonbinary butch who's trying to gain muscle without losing weight the sexism in the exercise industry makes me fucking see red. Just found an exercise program that boasts being entirely based in science and has the sources to prove it with well-controlled, recent, and relevant clinical studies backing up all of their stuff and as someone who's pretty well-versed in scientific research and fed up with fad-based pseudoscientific bullshit in the health industry I was fucking ecstatic. They had a little quiz you could take to find out which program would suit your needs the best so I filled it out and when it asked me about my goals I selected "I have a low amount of body fat and want to build more muscle" and it took me to a program called Strong. Great! ...Except as I read into it I kept finding references to "burning stubborn fat" and other similar shit. Scrolled down to the FAQ and found a question where it explained that this program was different from their Build program bc Build is "better suited for those who are skinny and at a relatively low body fat" ...even though that's exactly the option I selected in the quiz. Turns out they have three options for males: one for people who want to lose weight without focusing too much on muscle mass, one for people who want to become leaner by focusing on both weight loss and muscle mass, and one for people who want to gain muscle mass without losing weight (Build). But for females, they've only got two options, and neither one of them are designed to help you gain muscle mass without losing weight. I would ask why tf it's ALWAYS assumed that women have to want to lose weight but I know it's fucking sexism

#is the diet industry REALLY so pervasive that companies are deciding to just lose out on money #by not making products for people with weight goals they dont think women should have?? #they literally made a program for men who want to gain muscle mass without losing weight #and then just decided that would be the ONLY one they wouldnt adapt to fit women as well #my guy ive struggled with being chronically underweight my entire life and i only JUST managed to reach a healthy weight at the age of 25 #i only just got to where i dont pass out from standing up or getting too hot or doing light exercise anymore #i am NOT trying to become underweight again #why is it so fucking unfathomable that a woman might not want to lose weight #rambling #considering trying the mens program but my only concern is that ill likely have different nutrition requirements and etc #being a non-hrt afab person #i emailed their support to ask about it. guess ill see if theyre able to give any sort of satisfactory response #to which one would work for a 'female' who doesnt want to lose weight or 'improve my curves'

finally settling once and for all... with the evidence laid out plainly.. which of these brother boys is more stinkys ,,,

#also please for the love of gourd do not take this seriously i am joking I do not hold any of these behaviors against my cats I know that #all cats are a little stinky and weird I have had cats all of my life I am not genuinely condemning my cats i am being silly please lol #(some of my goofy cat posts in the past will always get like.. one or two people taking an issue with something incredibly #mundane. like me saying a cat is being rude or somehting and someone being like 'um actually cats cant process the concept of #rudeness. he has no idea he did anything wrong!' ........ yes...... i am aware.. that my cat has the brain of a cat lol #ANYWAY.... polls!!! so excited to have polls.. I will try not to be annoyig but I just love asking random things to the general #public. in friend groups I am always the one asking people to taking surveys. quizzes. making surveys and handing them out. etc. #the rare times I can partially overcome my social anhedonia/inability to socially function properly/etc. is when I'm interviewing people or #socializing specifically in the context of like Information Gathering lol #I love running questionairres and stuff . even about the most mundane pointless topics. there's just soemthing really interesting #about like....... being able to ask people stuff and then look at and analyze the results. #Even though that's an incredibly simple average thing. idk.. my brain loves information even if it's pointless silly information. #I Just Think It's Neat. I have so so sos os oso many ideas but I wanted to make the first poll about my cats #of course because I'm also obsessed with them lol. I was thinking of taking some of the pictures of them in front of a blank #canvas and doing a poll of 'what are they painting?' or 'what should they paint?' but I decided to go with babey crimes #for now. inspired by various baby crimes committed just this morning. Fresh on my mind.. #I wish they had a middle option though between '1 day' and '1 week'. I think a week is too long for a poll like this but also #one day is not long enough because I dont really have THAT many active followers. if it was just a day it would probably reach like 5 poepl #people. I want to at least be able to reblog it a few times maybe. lol #I think 3-4 days would be ideal. Its a new feature though. I'm sure they'll modify things as time goes on. #Still feeling sick and bad and weird and not being that productive at all generally but... I have just enough energy stores.. #using up every ounce of my power to make a goofy poll... a worthy sacrifice....

[squuote]

I made a post bout the skip button ending a while back and I deleted it a while ago but I desperately wanna redo it cause I’m interested in what others think but man I cannot find the words for it at all lmaoo

#delete later #LMAO I JUST REMEMBERED IT #I rlly should have saved a reblog to drafts before deleting it #but basically it was along the lines of #a person who feels trapped in a situation may see a solution and just go for it- #-before trying to find other solutions. and most of the time that solution might not be an actually good one #I still feel like I’m wording that wrong though #the concept of stanley seeing the skip button as the only means to escape this ending #and not directly as a way to truly hurt the narrator #because stanley is the one trapped in that room/in the parable #and in times of feeling trapped you may reach for an option that feels like your only hope #or a solution that gives you back some sort of control #so I think the portrayal of the skip button and the zending kinda speak to this idea in an odd way #the feeling of being trapped and seeing a way out and going for that without thinking #though in the end this is me very heavily projecting my own stuff onto these endings #because I’ve been in that position before a few times and I know what it’s like #it doesn’t mean your bad for doing it but I think some people don’t understand it well #it is essentially just me explaining rash decisions in serious situations #yeah stanley should have waited with the narrator but in moments of uncertainty- #-people react in their own ways. idk shrugs I still don’t know if I’m making sense or not #maybe I’ll just keep it here in the tags lol

hiii this is Hal Derangement anon again with some questions!

what animal would you use to symbolize hal and why?

also you’ve said that hal is Firmly Good Aligned, but is there a possible sequence of events that could change that?? what would it take to get Evil Hal???

HELLO ANON <3

If Hal was an animal he'd be a border collie :) specifically a blue merle one! He's really smart, deeply compassionate, very loyal, and (kind of lowkey) has an insatiable curiosity that leads him to poke at things a wiser person would leave alone. He does better with companionship and organization, while chaos and unpredictability stresses him out. He wants to be Friends with people at his core and is deeply empathetic, sometimes to his detriment. Thus: border collie coded

In terms of What Could Make Hal Go Evil... hmm. I feel like it would have to be something that turned his empathy against people? He cares so deeply for Making The World A Better Place For Everyone that he might be persuaded to do really terrible things in the name of saving the world. Honestly, there's a part of him that empathizes with Queen Dannel, who is SO firmly committed to saving her people from a years long siege against the undead that she's basically cannibalized them all into living weapons. He unfortunately GETS it, even though he's the guy whose entire life got FUCKED by her decision making.

That or straight up mind control. He's ridiculously good as a glass cannon in one on one combat so he's a Great Target for people who want to use him and his angels maliciously

#halion #his first session was tonight and tbh!! he saw a horde of ghosts on a train and his first thought was #i should try to reach out to them psychically to see if theres anything left to save of them #so. he's gonna get GOT by people taking advantage of his genuinely kind nature #dread metrol

[girlscience]

trying to get to better as a person is so nauseating. was lonely yesterday so i messaged friends to try and plan hang outs. forced myself to ask about reference letters today even though i turned bright red and felt like crying. messaged friends tonight to ask if they could help keep me accountable so i don't feel like i'm doing everything alone. barf. i hate this. i want to hide in a hole

#THIS IS GOOD FOR ME IT WILL HELP BUT IT REQUIRES CHANGE #and i am realizing maybe i am significantly worse with change than i thought i was #ie my parents and sister and a few other people think i should apply to more schools #specifically more schools outside my comfort zone #and it would be so cool!!!! but it requires me to change the idea of 4 schools to like 6 or 8 #and change from a few hours from home to like a days drive away or FARTHER #and this is already going to change my whole life's routine #and i'll be away from all my friends and family already #and i am just remembering how awful that was the first go around in undergrad #and maybe i am super scared of that happening again #and also i need to reach out about GA positions and that means i have to talk to professors #which is scary and also a change from undergrad cause i avoided talking to them as much as possible #and i am just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #so. hopefully some of this will help but also. i am crying inside. a lot. #i also need to change my fanfic habits because i honestly think it is like... the most time sucking thing in my life #and part of me wishes i never started reading fic because it gets in the way of me doing literally everything else i need to do #but stopping or even just cutting down on it is killer #but on the bright side i have been on youtube a lot less recently and leave it deleted off my phone for longer periods of time #which is good!!! it means i'm not on my phone as much #but yeah. stuff and things and trying to do stuff that's good for me is the worst

[victorluvsalice]

-->Anyway, with the rush over, I decided that I wanted Alice to make a pizza in her new pizza oven, so I had her check out her options, then prep some veggies and make some cheese in order to get a garden pizza going. Victor and Smiler kept working the sales floor, chatting to customers and leading to a few more sales – a guy named Umber snagged one of Victor’s Energizing scents for $744, while Brytani deigned to buy some watermelon conserve for $171 (I made sure Victor rung her up, since Smiler doesn’t like her for some reason). Cameron Fletcher also came by to grab a $2 spinach – I’m glad he’s not too annoyed that I banned him from the break room microwave. XD Alice wandered back upstairs while waiting on the stand mixer to clean one of the displays (which WERE getting a bit manky) – I promptly sent her back downstairs to collect her prepped vegetables and get the pizza in the oven while I had Victor finish the cleaning magically and conjure up some spaghetti for himself. Smiler meanwhile got another sale – someone named Anaya buying a box of veggie MREs for $241. For five seconds, everything seemed to be going well –

-->BOOM ANOTHER MASS BUYING EVENT! Complete with lag, because you gotta have lag. *heavy sigh* I had Alice stay downstairs long enough to get her pizza (as it was almost done by the time everyone decided they wanted to buy something), but after that, it was all hands on deck to take care of customers! Fortunately, they got them all – Paolo with a cube of beeswax for $18; Tetsuya with a box of canned fishcakes for $413; Dali with a box of chocolate syrup jars for $413; Jeb and Osuma both with friendly animal treats for $17 each. Oh, and a guy named Chad grabbed a strawberry out of the produce fridges for $19. Whew! I put Victor on "removing all of the out-of-stock signs" duty afterward while Smiler cleaned up some stray plates and glasses that had ended up on the produce stands (the custom “farmer’s market”-style ones I got from Brazen have slots on the little shelf underneath, it appears – perfect for Sims to hide shit from you) and Alice made a clay bunny. As you do. Alice then used the toilet and ate a container of prepped veggies over the bathroom sinks (I forgot you could just eat prepped ingredients straight-up) before running off to shower in the rain. *shakes fist* ERRATIC SIMS! While she was busy causing newcomers to the lot to gasp, Victor and Smiler handled what I decided would be the last sales of the day – Ivana with a box of canned tomato sauce for $413, and Francine with a pumpkin animal treat for $46. There was another lady wanting to buy something, but for some reason Smiler kept insisting they couldn’t get to her, so before things got any more chaotic, I decided to have them close the store. All in all, they sold 18 total items for a profit of $3,729! Not bad for a day’s work!

-->Except – when Smiler closed up shop, three people stayed behind, the previously-stuck lady and two others, all with shopping carts over their heads. Puzzled, I had Smiler and Alice (back in her clothes) ring up the two that could be reached (Victor heading back into the break room for another nap) while I let the “stuck” one time out – this did NOT result in any post-closing sales, though, just some customer goodwill. Well, for everyone except the customer who was mysteriously blocked. Sorry, lady, not sure what happened there! Try again next time!

-->Anyway – with that sorted, the trio decamped to the break room to watch a bit of TV and do a bit of flirting, as they do. :) Once the last customer had FINALLY left the store, they headed back to their place, arriving back home at about 9 PM in-game –
