i fear that the undercover top secret government assassins are growing on me (cp9)

#I HAD ZERO THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM AT FIRST #IN FACT I WAS DEVASTATED THAT THE WATER 7 QUARTET WERE ACTUALLY CP9 #BUT THEN??????? I READ CP9'S INDEPENDENT REPORT AND. I!?!??!?@?!? #the thoughts are endless ive been having one piece dreams every night for the past few days and they have all been cp9 related the brainrot #is so bad. i am sodgjkadhg #i love one piece there are so many characters with each new arc i get to i get some new characters to obsess over i love it i feel so alive #ive been fighting tooth and nail avoiding spoilers for the latest episode BUT GOD IM SO SO TEMPTED TO. TAKE A PEEK #anyways last night i was once again doing a wiki deep dive and i found some silly things on cp9's pages #JABRA AND LUCCI ARE THE SAME HEIGHT!!!!! THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY #CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!?! the kid you've had beef with since he was 13 (maybe even earlier since lucci alreayd knew him when he was 6) who you #used to have a whole head over is now at eye level with you i would actually be so embarrased #KAKU IS FROM EAST BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS OS IMPORTANT ACTUALLY!! THE MOST IMPORATNT FACT EVER!!!!!!!!!!! #so he knows the strawhats are...also from the east blue right?!? right??????! and ik the wg steals these kids early on to train them so i #doubt he has lingering attachments to his home sea but i still think this so both so so sad and so important :'(( #also not getting over how oda's depiction of tiny kaku has him holding a toy boat BC ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?! ARE YOU K IDDING ME #kalifa and jabra's favourite dishes are both lamb based!!!!!!!!! silly because her animal motif is a sheep haha #BUT ALSO considering how her father was also cp9 and she's probably been conditioned since birth to also follow his footsteps and how jabra #holds seniority in the current lineup id like to think that these two have known each other a very long time and there were influences #the most dysfunctional fcked up family ever. cp9 #blueno and jabra are both from the north blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that one falshbakc we see that the two of them plus 6year old lucci trained #together but also it would be so fcked up if the two actually knew of each other before being roped into the governemnt #idk how the wg works do they just??? routinely scout around and pick up a bunch of kids ata time???? were jabra and blueno taken together?? #also wondering if ... kalifa jabra and kumadori knew each other the longest as fellow agents or soemthing #i feel like im entertaining a gazillion thoughts all at once its so hard ot balance but we know both kalifa nad kumadori have #parents in the governemnt/assassin profession that also influenced them right #idk maybe one thing they can bond over #cp9 to me is just a fucked up family of some sort. they are not found family they are like some weird forged family where they were all #forced together and somehow made it work and they all love lucci and care for his wellbeing enough to raise all that money to get him to a #doctor and they cared about each other enough to get off enies lobby together without leaving anyone behind and they went cafe hopping and #shopping and bowling together and they all care for each other in their own way

♡ Intimate Moments | Bleu & Justin | GENEVA ISLAND

* Bleu wakes up early with the sunrise. She makes coffee and enjoys a book in the rec room. She gets ready upstairs before she approaches Justin in the kitchen*

Ju: Glad to see you’re up! I was just about to come find you, you’ve been missing all morning.

B: Yeah, sorry about that, but I was actually up earlier making coffee and relaxing. I decided yesterday that I am taking the reins of my own destiny and I am going to enjoy this amazing moment, this beautiful villa, in my own way. And I guess that meant more alone time than I realized… Is that bad?

Ju: Not at all!

B: Good, cause I am actually really glad that I did. I feel a lot better now.

Ju: That is awesome, I’m so glad that you found a way to turn things around. You don’t want to end up like Sean..

B: Oh my gosh, you did not just say that! [giggles] I really appreciate you being here for me and helping me to feel better.

Ju: It’s my pleasure. I am just glad to see you enjoying yourself finally.

B: I enjoy your company a lot Justin! I wanted you to know that too…

Ju: Same here Bleu, you are an amazing girl!

* Later, Bleu is sunbathing and back floating in the pool. Her and Jasmine start talking while Jasmine is making drinks*

B: Thanks for making this drink for me!

Jas: No problem! I need one myself I think..

B: I feel you, I’m loosening up tonight! I have a feeling it might be my last one anyways…

Jas: Don’t say that! You never know what could happen. Things in here change in a blink of an eye. You still have all evening to get with one of the boys!!

B: No, no, it’s actually okay. If I left tonight, I wouldn’t mind. There are a lot of lovely couples here, and even though at first I didn’t know if I would like it, I actually loved being here, and I don’t regret anything.

Jas: Well cheers to that!

* They cheers and drink *

PLEASE #please just strart at 1pmplease plase palseasee #i dont wanna take only 3 classes next semester but like erm. #mostly because im a little picky abt my professors. less so for electives but classes im worried about (SPEECH) #ive been pushing speech off for the longest time because i have crippling social anxiety 99% of the time. so i made sure i got a good prof #uhgghg #theres this one prof who does a lot of erm i think sociology classes yeah #she is so chill and nice and uses my prefurred name and pronouns (i really need to get my name chaged in the system uhghgh) but she did uh #the reverse grading and i hated it. everyone did. she was so nice and understanding.. #one time i went 2 talk to her about my missing work (chronic pain and fatigue had me bed bound for days on end) and she literally just said #erm u have an A so u dont have to do it. #>@>>@>/1/1/?!?!? #live saver. i had a breakdwon in her office i was literally sobbing telling her about my health issues. it was really hard because i never- #-really talk about it. i didnt realize how hard it would be when i finally did #anywasy what was i saying. yeah i love her so much but not her grading and teaching system. but idk maybe ill try it again she has a gender #-and sexuality class i kinda wanna take because im a professional faggot

I got waaaay too attached to my farmer in Stardew Valley that I can't play a new save without them and I also didn't want to just create the same character (It'll confuse me...) but I really wanna try out the meadowlands farm. So instead, I decided to create a storyline in which my dear farmer dies, reincarnates, and proceeds to dye and style their hair in the same way it was in the past life.

#aria rants #i tried so hard to create new save files just so i can use the new farm but i just cant play for long and just went back to my old save #but i wanna try the meadowlands! ive gotten a lil sick of the riverland farm. i want the blue grass! its legit just the grass i want #i created a new one but i didnt like how his eyes looked so redo! at least i can do this easily now since its just the eyes to adjust #yea my farmer has he/them pronouns. their name's asante (google search a name meaning thank you and thats what i got) #''thank you'' cuz i got stardew valley for my birthday (i think... 22nd birthday??? or 21st??? either of those) from my older sis #so like i made the character as a thank you for her! my old save also has a cat named after her nickname too #and since ive been playing with asante for the longest time since i got stardew valley. i cant play another character anymore #but that has now been fixed thanks to my writer brain putting some crazy storyline in it. if it works it works! #also am playing with mods in this new save! (didnt wanna touch my old save with mods am worried it might break) #just simple mods like recolours and texture changes (i remember trying sve before but damn... it was laggy. pc too weak)

lets talk about this otto figment

#the way otto is depicted within the other members' mental worlds is somethin. ive been thinking about this for the longest time #i think helmut is the only one with a version of otto that isnt negative. but i suppose thats just because helmut loves all his friends so #very much. #this pictures actually funny because compton and cassie are 1 figment aswell as ford and lucy being 1 as well. and ottos just standing #all the way over here. #awesome #interestingly to me is the fact that an otto figment is at helmuts version of the wedding but there is no otto figment in bobs version of #the wedding while all the others are there (IM. pretty sure. ive checked a few times #which since i forgot about the otto figment in helmuts mind made me wonder for a while whether or not otto was at the wedding at all #but no. he was and for one reason or another bobs memory of the wedding does not have otto in it...lmfao #however there is a fully fledged otto on one of the islands in bobs mind - interesting to me considering the other two characters here are #lilli and truman. #(this version of otto is very unsupportive and all like ''we never really liked you that much helmut deserved someone better blahblah'' #so id say perhaps this otto is a more general ''this is how bob thinks the other members thought of him'' and using otto to represent the #entirety of the psychic 7 #im kind of just ? about bob and otto especially because in helmuts mind they are hanging out and theres maybe? and implication that they #actually did have a bond in the real world #yeah theyre arguing in helmuts mind (or something of the sort) but its like friend banter #.kind of #i think they annoyed eachother a lot sometimes but it is okay. #(i like the implication that helmut and bob used to get high together (i like the concept art of otto smoking psitanium #i was going to make a point somewhere where like i wouldnt be surprised if maybe bob gained a deep hatred of some sorts towards otto #after helmut was lost like oh its because of your stupid machine its all your fault #but im not sure if theres any real evidence for this (psychonauts is a game all about small throw away lines theres definitely a chance im #forgetting something #im very much just rambling and saying things #ok fine maybe bob and otto were just arguing in helmuts mental representations of them it does seem like bob has the least fond memories of #him out of any member #most definitely why hes missing from bobs version of the wedding and why otto is the stand in for how bob thinks all the members saw him #sad

why r ppl just.. okay with cosmetic rhinoplasties like ya can't even hide behind any excuse 2 conceal the fact its entirely based in eurocentrism n actually abysmal levels of racism.... every b&a of it is beautiful ethnic nose of any kind -> copypaste barbie button nose. the result is literally the same 99% of the time n it's nawt a coincidence at all. how do we live like this. how does anyone.

#an yes i am a 'hypocrite' cuz ive wanted one 4 da longest time n still sumtimes do n go thru cycles #but am i rly one if i wld have never been one have we nawt all been conditioned into thinkin there's smth wrong w our noses?????? #like am i crazy or is THIS litwrally racism on STEROIDS cuz like all other types of Beautyyy treatments #at least have like..... variety? different races might even consider different like ways of treatment #meanwhile rhinoplasty is literally jus. (normal nose) -> (that fuckin straight nose w a cute upturned tip) #naw shade if ya have dat exact nose btw but like holy shit....... #don even get me started how most of even white ppl don have dat Standard nose either???? we literally jus made up a nose ideal 4 ALL races? #i say cosmetic here cuz im not sure if like reconstructive operations as well as fixin yr deviated septum etc r considered rhinoplasty still #i mean cosmetic as in purely aesthetic purpose. im sure cosmetic wasn thw right word 2 use now cuz i think dats jus a broad term #but i hope ya get it #mika caws

what if we were two mentally ill kids in a society that has no words or tolerance for that. what if we killed someone and unavoidably our identities and relationship were built around that trauma. what if we spent the rest of our lives trying to grapple with what we did to each other, still without words for it. and what if we were both girls/boys/it’s complicated ashkdjhdgjhg

alternatively, what if youre like 10 and you almost get drowned by a bully and get that memory warped so that instead of the victim you become the murderer. what if you did that for your best friend. i mean what if your best friend did that to you. did you die?

theres love, somewhere in your body. theres death, somewhere in your body. you are remade so many times by through because of love. you die so many times by through because of love. are you dead yet? were you ever alive?

you were remade before you were made. you are a person inside out. you are a body without a soul. your friend did this to you for what you did for them. have you decomposed yet? why have you not decomposed yet?

#the koschei is dead saga #i like the ending #natural conclusion to making her symbolically dead #im not killing her theres no love in that. besides shes already dead. i did something better #i will not finish the thasmissy fic before the arbitrary deadline i set for the 30th but thats okay bc i did finish this one #it's silly how much i devalued this fic in my head once i got going on the thasmissy fic #as if i didnt write them in conversation with each other #as if this isnt the longest fic ive published until i finish the thasmissy one #it's not my best i dont think im particularly made for longform fiction #but im still very happy of what i managed to say #about thoschei and what torvic's murder did to them #i think the actual story in this is chapter 1-6-8 #or maybe even just 1-8 #but i also think the space between them is important. like the more space between 1 and 8 the better #i just maybe could have used that space/time more effectively. put more punches in them? #i feel like now they maybe meander a bit although there are still moments in them that i use in ch1 & 8 #like most chapters Are i think in some way building to chapter 8 #but also i started out writing this as just vignettes of Stuff I Wanted To See #and i in the end didnt quite manage to spread out the loadbearing stuff evenly over the chapters #THAT BEING SAID. it was a good learning experience probably. not sure i learnt anything much about plot bc im messing up in the same way #with thasmissy. but even so. practice makes better #and im very happy with the point i eventually manage to make with this. even if it takes me a couple of self-indulgent chapters in themiddle #anyway #im gonna log off for a bit #feel free to send me stuff you want me to see if i miss it

#atri.txt #<333 #new vid was very sweet #made me think #ive been here for a while dude #ive been subbed to him for 17 months #but ive been watching for *doing math* i think 20? #yeah i started watching him 3 months into his career which gets more wild the more time passes. damn #it’s so weird i remember like all of it vividly #i remember when he wasnt allowed to eat in his room so he secretly ordered a several pound bag of gummy worms and hid it under his desk #oh my god i remember when ranmail was emails #the first content i saw from him was one of the goddamn cranboo panic room streams and that is still so funny to me looking back #i saw that he was live and i was like hey i’ve heard a lot about this guy i’ve been meaning to watch him #i join the stream the Entire chat is saying hold hands chat in unison. i was like why are they doing that he’s just walking what #<- did not fully understand the concept of dsmp lore yet #this guy starts CRYING #this was the stream where he starts digging up the garden outside his house like a madman looking for a disc he had no memory of taking #i forgot why having it meant he did something but i think it had soemthing to do with him blowing up the community house #and the entire time he’s muttering to himself trying to convince himself it couldn’t have been him there’s no way #and then he digs 1 more block. and there’s a chest there. and i remember he just stared at it in silence for the Longest time #and he opens it and inside there’s a single disc in the middle and the screen goes black and he starts crying VERY convincingly #at least to me who had no idea what was going on #anyway i remember trying to form a text to my friend who was also slightly starting to take interest in related cc’s for like 10 minutes #like how the fuck do you explain that and do it justice i can barely do it now #like ‘okay. you know the ranboo guy right. you will not believe the stream i just watched’ #anyway yeah we’ve both been subbed to ranboo for 17 months 💀 #goddamn i miss cranboo his story was so good. okay as i’m typing this i realzied he’s in quackity’s lore that is Today i Completely forgot. #ohg my god #wow i have a lot to say about that guy #no fucking way did i max out the tags this is humiliating

been having more bad days than not but its fine long as im dissociated sleep or busy

#longest streak in a while i think. and maybe i should be proud of it in some way? i dunno. #been living for weeks with an emotional hair trigger and its so fuckin tiring. tbh #but im still kicking and thats what really matters doesnt it #i dont gotta make it to anytging anymore. terrifying but somewhat a relief or something #maybe when i land that extra job ill shut it and be happier. money makes the world go round #i dunno. scratcges head. at this point theres few people i more than dont mind talking to and despite my family telling me i need physical #people i dunno i think ive always liked being alone when the curtains close. its one of those things that were always meant to happen. #ive been spoiled in a way since graduating high school that i forgot that i wasnt Made for certain things. and there are certain #irrefutable things that i am that ive tried to forget. #no crying over kicked sandcastles. at least people dont know this time #ah whatever. honk shoo #obscurus.txt #acd would get it

Love to say it actually this is one of the best project voltage designs

The fact that this miku is like. The closest to the actual miku in terms of design is also incredibly interesting...like she's some kind of haunted program in some other world

#i am like so happy with this project you have NO idea #ive been sketching out each one as they come out and ill probably share it once im done #i was actually thinking it would have been gourgeist for the longest time but my friend loves ghost types and mismagius so #this was made for them

I always wondered how anyone was able to write something with more than 5k words when I'd always struggle with it but now with how this mhyk fic is going I'm like: I understand. Also I feel like my writing has improved somehow? Which I'm really REALLY happy for.

#aria rants #its easier for me to put my thoughts to words now that it felt like i was on a roll. and tbf the fic's story being more on the lighthearted #chaotic side helped a lot with that cuz i can just go ham with it but like going from one scene to the next was easier for me today somehow #honestly really proud and happy to see myself improve in writing too cuz its the first skill im rlly proud of myself for #like when i was a kid i was first an art kid. id draw mermaids and stuff in my notebook with a pencil but after i tried out writing #just focused all on writing instead and for the longest time. i wasnt actually confident with my writing so much so that there were #moments where id think back to the past and wished that i kept going with art instead of writing cuz it felt like the years #ive spent on writing was a waste in a way where i didnt improve anything at all. also didnt help that i chose to keep writing #using 1st pov which is ngl. a wrong move with how really difficult it was to pull off esp as a beginner #it wasnt until last year that i began to grow a lil confident with my writing enough to post bout it (omori fics and all that) #and tbh! i am confident bout it now too! and happy that im pursuing art as well and improving on BOTH! #its the best thing and im rlly happy with how everything is going for me. i got great friends that im so happy to have made #a new and old skill that im making improvements and also growth for my own self too >:3 #anyway i fooled you all this was actually a heartfelt message in disguise mwahahahahaha

[fratboykate]

I'm totally in support of the writers in theory but I'm trying to understand more of what you're fighting for because I've seen some people on twitter claim writers make more money a week than most of us make in a month so I'm trying to understand what the issue is. Also if that info is accurate. This is a genuine question. Not trying to have a "gotcha moment". I really want to hear from a writer.

people have always had wild misconceptions about how much a writer earns because of their lack of understanding of how the industry actually works. there's so many posts about how "you guys make 5k a week. what more do you want?!" yeah...let's do some math on that.

5k a week for 14 weeks (and that's a long room. a lot of rooms these days are 8-10 weeks. those are the dreaded mini-rooms we're trying to kill) is $70,000. for roughly three months of work. you'd think we're cooking with gas...BUT HOLD UP. that's gross! let's see everything that has to come out of that check:

10% to our agent

10% to our manager

5% to our entertainment attorney

5% to our business manager (not everyone has one but a lot of us do. i do, so that's literally 30% immediately off the top of every check)

most of these breakdowns ive seen downplay taxes severely. someone made one that says writers pay 5% in taxes and i would like to ask them "in what universe?". that doesn't even cover state taxes. the way taxes work in the industry is really complicated, but the short of it is most of us have companies for tax reasons so we aren't taxed like people on w2s/1099. if we did we'd be even more fucked. basically every production hires a writer's company instead of the writer as an individual. so they engage our companies for our services and then at the end of the year we (the company) pay taxes as corporations or llcs (depending on what the writer chose to go with). my company is registered as a "corporation" so let's go with those rates. california's corporate rate is 9% and the federal corporate tax rate is 21%. there's other expenses with running a business like fees and other shit so my business managers/accountants/bookkeepers have recommended i save between 35-40% of everything i make for when tax season comes.

you see where the math is at already??? 25-30% in commissions and then 35-40% in taxes. on the lower end you're at THE VERY LEAST looking at 60% of that check gone. 70% worst case scenario. suddenly those $70,000 people claim we make are actually down to $28,000 as the take home pay. and that's if you're only losing 60%. it goes down to $21,000 if it's 70%.

lets pretend you worked a long 14 week room (that's the longest room ive ever worked btw) and let's also be generous and say you only have 60% in expenses so the take home is $28,000. average rent in los angeles is around $2,800-$3,000. if you're paying $2,800 in rent that means you need AT LEAST $4,000 a month to have a semi decent life since you need to also cover groceries, gas, medical expenses, toiletries, phone, internet, utilities, rental and car insurances, car payments, student loan payments, etc etc etc. and again, this is los angeles. everything is more expensive so you're living BARE BONES on 4k. and these are numbers as a single person. im not even taking having children into account. so those $28,000 you take home might cover your life for 6-7 months. 3 of which you're in the room working. the reality is that once that room ends, you might not work in a room again for 6-9-12 months (i have friends whose last jobs were over 18 months ago) and you now only have about 3 months left of savings to hold you over. we have to make that money stretch while we do all the endless free development we do for studios and until we get our next paying job. so...3 months left of enough money to cover your expenses -> possible 9 months of not having a job. this is how writers end up on food stamps or applying to work at target.

this is why we're fighting for better rates and better residuals. residuals were a thing writers used to rely on to get them through the unemployment periods. residual checks have gone down from 20k to $0.03 cents. im not joking.

they've decimated our regular pay and then destroyed residuals. we have nothing left. so don't believe it when they tell you writers are being greedy. writers are simply fighting to be able to make a middle class living. we're not asking them to become poor for our sake. we're asking for raises that amount to 2% of their profit. TWO PERCENT. this is a fight for writing even being a career in five years instead of something you do on the side while you work retail to pay your bills. if you think shows are bad now imagine when your writer has to do it as a hobby because they need a real job to pay their bills and support a family. (which none of us can currently afford to have btw)

support writers. stop being bootlickers for billion dollar corporations. stop caring about fictional people more than you care about the real people that write them. if we don't win this fight it truly is game over. the industry as you know it is gone.
