#jobs steps down

[fawfulydoo]

Goodbye Charles, all of us cannot thank you enough for providing such an iconic part of our childhoods. I'm happy to hear you're still working with Nintendo, you deserve the best retirement ever. Thank you, Charles Martinet.

sometimes, just sometimes, twitter does good

#uk politics #today we had another resignation in the cabinet #(of someone who was horrendous so we're celebrating) #but the letter she said was basically like 'i can accept my mistakes and know when to step down' and it was very the drama!!!! #i have to laugh because honestly if i don't the crushing weight of how depressing this is will get me #truss ain't gone quite yet but.. soon #anyway i now feel like it's my job to update my non-uk moots of the car crash going on here

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was N E V E R any less suited to leadership than leo

idk how many times i can say it before it sinks in that in rise there was never once any point where that was the point being made

if you just like leo’s character better than you like raph’s, that’s fine! if you just like it better when leo is leader, that’s fine! i have no issue!

but we need to stop trying to circle that leadership change back to somehow being about better or worse or ~more cut out for it~ because it sucks to throw the great job raph did through the series under the bus in order to prop up leo’s good qualities. 

they’re both great leaders. they both have strong suits and weak suits in the role, they both have growth and development when they’re in that role. they BOTH make on-screen mistakes in that role and aren’t very good at it at first! not getting a more in-depth explanation about it in the movie or series stinks and it’s very interesting to explore, but seriously. 

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt raph #rise raph #like it's so...... #all of raph's growth as a leader and hard work at it was up and down about him growing as a leader #learning and adapting and incorporating things #when raph messes up the point is NEVER 'ohoho see he's just not as good at it or fit for it' #it's ALWAYS him learning something that he does better with next time #and in that vein leo showing those leadership qualities and potential! #is NEVER about 'oh he would be so much better at it than raph' #it's just about leo having that potential and that talent that went unnoticed! #and like. idk what to tell you leo was doing a not great job at start of movie like raph was doing start of series #if the point was always 'raph cant hack it leo was REALLY meant for this all along' then mayhaps... #one of the emotional high points and climaxes of the finale would not have been raph learning one more important lesson #and the team then fully unlocking the ninpo and rising to their potential #it probably would have been a finale arc about leo stepping up specifically in some way #and all this of course i say having put aside that leadership was never meant to be a big deal in rise anyway.... #pitting 2 bad bitches against each other like this for no reason like they're not both fantastic

Jake the Gatekeeper

So, anyone else want to talk about Jake being the gatekeeper? And how in death, Jake had been locked up and prevented from doing his job? YET HE STILL DID IT.

So what is a gatekeeper? Please feel free to correct me because sometimes my meaning gets lost in my inability to language at times... But they are in charge of keeping things running. Keeping people where they need to be and keeping memories and ares of the inner world locked off from those not meant to see.

Basically they go, "That memory? That memory only causes you to be in horrible pain. You don't need to keep looking at it." And they lock it up. Sometimes in a room, sometimes in a box, sometimes just somewhere out of reach.

They also go, "Hey. You shouldn't be fronting right now" and they can pull you out of that seat. They are grounding. They can help people stay grounded, they can help people front. They are in charge of keeping the traffic flow going. It's sort of a big deal.

Some never front. They have a lot going on inside and they like to stay there. Some front a lot, letting others rest, giving themselves time out.

(Side tangent, I know a system where the gatekeeper was having a stressful time thanks to a new medication. They decided to take a day off and didn't tell anyone else. They just went to their area and disappeared for a day. The rest of the system went into PANIC mode for the whole day. Someone that usually only fronts for an hour at a time got stuck in the front position for the day and couldn't switch out, everyone else didn't know what to do and ran around looking for the gatekeeper. When they finally came back it was a lot like that scene from community where he walks in and everything is on fire).

SO. Marc and Steven have no idea about Jake, about what he does, and how important he is. If we follow that Steven holds emotional/spiritual protector and Jake holds gatekeeper AND physical protector, Jake is a busy man.

When they die, things get a little messed up. Steven is locked up, Marc is lost in his own tormented emotions/memories/thoughts and whatever else the afterlife is doing to him, and Jake is locked up.

Here's the interesting part. Was Marc even supposed to find Steven? Was it a fluke? Did Marc choose to find Steven because he needed his emotional support? I believe yes. He has to OPEN the door to get into Steven's room and then free Steven from the sarcophagus that is closed.

YET: Just down the hall from Steven's room, there is an OPEN DOOR and the Sarcophagus is upright and halfway through the damn doorway.

He can't get out because Marc does not let him. Marc is in control here and he is not ready to know about Jake. BUT LOOK AT HOW FAR JAKE IS TO GETTING OUT ON HIS OWN.

Even more, most of the doors are STILL LOCKED.

Steven happens into the important door and locks Marc out. Marc can't get into these doors on his own. Only Steven is actually opening doors here. When Marc is in panic mode, none of the doors open. The only door he actually gets through on his own opens by itself, inviting him in. Steven is already there, ready for Marc to come back.

Steven is navigating the memories, probably with the help of what ever if happening in the Duat, but he is still in control. Even falling into the memory of the night Marc met Khonshu.

But what if Jake is the one navigating them? The doors are locked. The memories are a mess. Jake can't get out, but he still might have control. What if he's the one that let Randall out to guide Steven? What if he's the one that pulls them through the never ending staircase of pain? Lets them fall into the desert with Khonshu?

What if Jake understands that it's time to let Steven do his job because he can't? What if he realizes at long last that it's time that Steven knew about his own job? Marc is spiraling and becoming too destructive. Too much is at stake and Marc would rather just die than face anything. So finally as they die, Jake is like, "Steven, I can't do this. It's your turn." And the gates are opened.

#Moon Knight #Moon Knight Meta #Jake Lockley #Steven Grant #Marc Spector #Meta #I need to see Jake grow as a person #Season two: Jake takes care of shit #Jake tries so hard to do it all and he can't #Give Steven his job #Step into front and kill Harrow #Jake realizing that things are more fucked up than he can deal with #He will protect them #Give him another ten minutes and they'd have found his sarcophagus hopping down the hall #On his way to kick ass

there's an alternate reality where this vegas:

and this pete:

most definitely fuck.

#i have a scenario in my head where the bodyguard disperse to find porsche and as vegas is heading out back to main foyer area #he bumps into pete and pete just looks at him with disgust and knows vegas is Upto Some Shit and porsche disappearing is bc of him #and vegas who's already Mad does not need pete to be looking at him like that so he spits out a 'what the fuck are you staring at?' #and pete just cuts to the chase and asks vegas 'where the fuck is he i know you're upto some shit.' and vegas just smirks and says 'who?' #whilst he steps closer to him until he's trapped pete up against a wall and leans into his ear and says 'who pete?' #and pete spits back in vegas' face how 'i know you've got your eyes on him. don't think i haven't been watching your every move.' #and at first it feels like a bucket of ice water has been thrown on vegas but then he composes himself and says #'why? are you jealous?' at which pete just scoffs. and then vegas tries again and says 'or do you like what you see? the thrill of it? #eyeing me just to see what i do next?' #and pete doesnt respond. just bites the inside of his cheek. bc there is a thrill to it #but he is not gonna give vegas the satisfaction. and yet all vegas has to do is look at pete as he clenches his jaw and he gets his answer #and then vegas just rakes his eyes all over pete's body and says 'you've never looked so good'. #and pete isnt gonna get distracted by the fact that vegas of all people is telling him this. so he asks again 'where is he?' #and vegas just tuts and steps even closer and presses their bodies together and says 'fuck him. i'm talking about us. #stop being so fucking good all the time pete. doesnt it get tiring?' #and pete's trying to stay focused on the task at hand here and he knows exactly what vegas is doing as vegas carries on saying #'don't you wanna be bad sometimes pete? what if i let you be that with me? no one has to know.' #and the invitation sounds so tempting. the prospect of it. that he should be with kinn doing his job but instead he's fucking his cousin #and just being the centre of attention for once. being vegas' centre of attention .... it makes pete's toes curl. #and vegas glances down at pete's mouth that's fallen slightly open. and its so pretty. so pretty that he has to touch it. and as he does #pete opens his mouth wider and vegas runs his thumb along pete's entire bottom lip. and he can feel pete breathing hard. #'you want this.' vegas says. 'look how you open up your mouth for me so pretty to have more.' #and now vegas is calling him pretty too and pete's resolve is breaking brick by brick until he moans when vegas wraps his hand around his #throat and vegas says 'i wanna taint you so bad that you'd have to wear this to cover the bruises on your neck. and the next time i see you #i'd do it all over again.' and pete asks in a barely there voice 'next time?' and vegas smirks and leans into pete's ear and says #'if its what you want. because i do. i wanna see you be bad for me. just for me. i want you to come to me only. for me only.' #and then vegas bites down on the skin there making pete clutch onto vegas' blazer and as divine as vegas looks pete wants to rip it off. #and just as he's about to do something about it vegas steps back leaving pete's arm mid air. and pete hates that. and vegas sees it all #over his face and says 'what do you say pete? you either leave with me right now or you can go back and be the good little boy they think #you are.' and vegas holds out his hand. and no one's ever treated pete like this before. so he takes it. and lets vegas take him.

Dr. L. (head of Tutorial Services, teaches English and Latin, has an office right off the children's section in the library) called me in to his office as I walked by, specifically to ask my opinion of the School of Languages and Literature becoming Humanities and Leadership. He hates it too and apparently wanted to hear someone else say it. I am amused.

#random personal stuff #he says it was claimed that the name change was a unanimous faculty decision but he knows for a fact that that was not the case #but maybe things can get straightened out again #the Dean who created all this nonsense is stepping down as Dean of L&L to take over the Leadership program #(convenient! she created a kingdom for herself) #and a very deserving English faculty member is stepping up as the new Dean #so maybe she will be instrumental in getting priorities back on track #once again I am very glad I did not take that teaching job

Yesterday, the physical therapist asked what my job was, so I told her, and she said, "That sounds like a dream job." "Yeah, it really is," I said and immediately felt like an even bigger asshole than I already know I am because I lowkey hate my job and overall am not very happy with my situation, even though I have no objective reason to be unhappy or hate it.

#though it does kind of suck that after switching careers and clawing my way up to this job #which is pretty close to the pinnacle of this line of work so anything else would be a big step down #that turns out i don't really enjoy it and have absolutely no ambition or desire for professional growth left #so i just gotta ride it out #and that's probably part of the reason I've fallen hard for a fandom again #i feel zero satisfaction with a really big part of my life and something has rushed in to fill the void #stuff you probably don't want to know but I'm telling you anyway #my stuff

dog world where we need a cop dog to fall in love with a poor street dog and they're in love and the twist of the movie is the cop dog has to arrest the street dog but he can't do it because he loves the street dog too much

street dog named desire

#sorry tenessee williams this is probably not what you wanted #why would the cop dog need to arrest the street dog. that's not his job. that's like #that's like a stray catchers job. #cop dog cant even put paw cuffs on anyone. #maybe the cop dog steps down from the force so that he can stop the dog catcher. #i don't think this concept has legs at all. sorry anon. it's too cliche and not subversive enough. #and we don't want to fall into copaganda even though acdagb (all dog cops are good boys) #we don't want to recruit more dogs into the force. not unless they're replacing the humans. #sci speaks

Jeremy Strong for The Hollywood Reporter 3/27/23

Soooo- Kendall CEO? Maybe, maybe not. Or perhaps Logan is the one who gets what he wants but isn’t satisfied. We’re seeing that already.

#guys this is all making me sick #I don't want it to be tragic 😭 #Kendall wins but loses exactly -> #hmmm it’s in the DNA of it I wonder what that means #so maybe that means it's not literally the CEO job but some other sort of power or even Logan stepping down #I mean Ken would be a great CEO and I’ve always said it #it’s just not love though so he needs that too #I love that the sunflower seeds were Jeremy’s idea! #and led to the brilliant and optimistic ‘let 1000 sunflowers bloom Romey!’ #kendall roy #succession #jeremy strong #succession season 4

My favorite end to Squirrelflight and Bramblestar is him apologizing and her not forgiving him. He is shocked and kinda upset but learns what he’s done to her cannot be whisked away with just a apology. He steps down and gives her space, he can make his peace with a few others maybe try and reach out to Jay or Lion but no one is forced to forgive him.

I know canon would never, if there ever was a real apology shown Squilf would probably be made to apologize back to him for no reason and give up her agency. Anyways just hoping for Squirrelstar 🤞

#it’s just my favorite end to the two #canon could never they’d make Squilf apologize for literally doing nothing but yknow I can hope #DONT READ UNLESS U WANT A ASC SHADOW SPOILER #Okay bramble stepping down really makes me hope for this outcome but I still worry #tho I am looking to the bright side. hopefully squirrelstar happens and she gets to be awesome #if she gives up her job for bramble I will be pissed #if she does it on her own merits I can understand she’s faced a lot and she is older now #but if it’s bc of bramble I’m throwing hands and forgetting asc ever happened #squirrelflight #bramblestar #asc spoilers #shadow spoilers #asc shadow

you know what people don’t know about you? that one of your particular special interests happens to be guns. you have a vast and wide collection, and your friendship with the widow has only increased its size. you find more and more honing your skills when it comes to aim is so valuable — you need to stay sharp and you make sure to do just that.

so when niran is in danger your only regret is that you weren’t earlier aware. your database had not pinged the weaver of life in time, and now you find yourself taking every skill you can throw at the wall to make sure he’s safe. you track every movement; you prepare yourself well. what he doesn’t know is that you’re not afraid of this at all. you’ve rolled right up to this situation as ready to go as you can get.

you glance the quick glint of an ivory hue and deep tan and you feel your throat bob when you swallow. the shot is perfect — you’re going to shoot that fuck right in the kneecap, and you have two other shots lined up. you have the room in your goggles, candy-red, his image still something you can see from every angle. you fearlessly adjust your shoulders and settle the rifle’s butt against you like an old familiar friend. you speak one word.

“no.”

you pull the trigger.

#CLAWS EXTENDED. #GUNS / #CATWOMAN ONLINE. #BUABLOOMED #[me handing u a choose your own adventure: i love Selina rescuing people and doing her job. even when it’s because she’s panicking because #niran is in danger and he has to know she’s fifth steps ahead and she’s shutting everything down at once.]

i DESPERATELY need ezreal in arcane s2 like. please. imagine the vision with me for a moment. jayce is walking around absolutely DISTRAUGHT because mel has been hospitalized (or dead) for weeks due to jinx’s attack and they just can’t find her anywhere. hes wandering piltover trying to think about something to do and then he hears a fucking like. mid-puberty teenager voice going “hey. hey can you pass me that wrench” and jayce goes “what the fuck” and he turns around and there’s this 5’3” kid absolutely covered in soot and working away at a hextech machine and jayce says “shouldn’t you be in school right now” and ez says “no” and jayce goes “ok.” ez is talking about how hes going to impress a girl with his machine or some shit (jayce: oh this kids a major douchebag) > they eventually start talking about their problems > ez brings up his missing parents (jayce: oh this kids fucked up in the head) > jayce saying that hes frustrated about not being able to find jinx > ez saying some shit like “well have you tried to find out where shes based?” > jayce going “what” > ezreal pushing up his metaphorical glasses and going Well yeah see [pulls out a gigantic map of all of piltover and zaun] if u plot out all of the places she’s been within a certain time frame and make circles connecting them to each other [generates a protractor from seemingly nowhere and does this] using logic she will be situated in the center of these circles and u Should be able to find where she lives that way. and see this heres a factory so she probably doesnt stay there and this here is a gambling place so she probably couldnt even go inside But this heres an abandoned warehouse so i would say that thats ur best bet if u wanna check that place out for clues. and jayce looks at him like What the shit and ezreal goes Well im a pretty smart kid…hyuk hyuk! and then jayce slaps him or something and then ez joins the gang for like two episodes

#bonus points if he 1. tries to flirt with caitlyn and/or vi (significantly older than him) and gets brutally shot down and cries #and 2. he meets ekko who fucking HATES him and they have a Weird Gay Thing going on. i need ezko real so bad u dont get it #anyways. him and renata who steps up to be silcos replacement….i think renata would make sense lorewise but i literally just want ez there #bc i think it would be funny . #and arcane does a good job of balancing silliness and seriousness so i do not think his being there would be a big problem #anyways. i just lovehate ezreal and i think if he was there it would be the funniest shit ever #ezreal #jayce #league of legends #arcane #myne

#nothing is more depressing than working on my cv #because I just don't feel like I have marketable skills #and so many of the writing and research posts I come across on job sites are like ''you'll be working alongside ai'' #I even saw a copywriter post that said ''you won't be doing any writing or editing. you job will be to refine and improve ai prompts #so that the ai can more consistently produce the texts we need'' #like hello #the person doing that job is literally making themself more obsolete by the day #so here's the plan #I need to take any job that pays vaguely well #and use that money to either do short corses #or save up to go so my masters #that conclusion is inescapable #just. for now I'm still stuck on step 1 : finding a decent job #and (perhaps I'm being too picky) but post covid I do not want to go back into anything in the tourism industry #it's too precarious and honestly just comes down to entertaining rich people which pushes me further left every time i think about it #I considered joining the communist party. but 1) they're still part of the tripartite alliance with the anc... which is a no from me #and 2) communist révolution should spontaneously happen in industrialised countries with surplus wealth when the proletariat arise #south africa does not have surplus wealth nor class consciousness really. it's still filtered through post apartheid racial groupings #which is unhelpful because the black bourgeoisie are not our allies just because they're black #and trying to impose communism in a society without the surplus wealth didn't work out too well throughout the 20th century #so what does that leave you with #parties like cope ? plagued by the same issues as the anc ? no thank you #(I did also study politics btw which is why I've even considered these career paths) #(although I haven't worked in politics or governance since graduation so maybe that doesn't even matter anymore it's been years) #all I want is a job that pays fairly and leaves me with enough free time to do my hobbies #I do not have the grindset I'll admit that #which is why I've enjoyed the art industry #but again. it just comes down to entertaining rich people in the small galleries which is needlessly stressful #and the larger non-commercial galleries and musea aren't hiring atm... #and that's it. rant over I guess since this is the 30th tag
