Give me Stede absolutely falling in love with inn keeping. He was confident in choosing Ed over piracy, but perhaps less confident in opening an inn. Even though Ed is the most important thing to him, he secretly fears that he'll get bored, that his new life may start to resemble his old life.

But then that doesn't happen. He has so much fun running the inn, decorating all the rooms, wearing whatever clothes he wants, meeting all kinds of different people and hearing their stories and their adventures, and all of this with Ed by his side. He was drawn to piracy because it was so opposite of the life he was living, but he realizes that he didn't need the adrenaline of adventure, he needed to be doing something he enjoyed with someone he loved, someone who loved him in order to feel fulfilled. The contentment he feels with Ed by his side is what he was actually looking for.

(and maybe the crew still kidnaps him from time to time for a short adventure, but at the end of the day he knows he would never go back to that life)

#i know stede liked piracy for the excitement and adventure #but maybe he'll realize creating a life with the person you love /is/ exciting #also stede is the kind of weirdo that would love customer service #ofmd #ofmd s2 #our flag means death #blackbonnet #gentlebeard #stede bonnet #ofmd s2 spoilers

So basically... A Date With Death MC/Self-insert

Music:

BRAT by Chris Marcell

...also Mixed Messages by Tom Cardy

Facts:

⬩ I have yet to come up with a separate name for her... So for now she's just Katarina.

⬩ Aspiring fashion designer of 25 years of age.

⬩ Currently works as an assistant in an atelier in the centre of the city.

⬩ Lives alone in a studio-type of apartments with her pet cat Seras.

⬩ She’s been getting into all kinds of disasters and life-threatening incidents throughout her life, miraculously surviving every time. Unfortunately, the people around her are usually not so lucky, so she had to witness many deaths.

⬩ At least a half of her family is dead by now, and she keeps her distance with the remaining relatives. Well, it's not that she was ever the type of person who would care about family, so she doesn't dwell on that.

⬩ She has two moods: an insufferable clown and an absolute bitch.

⬩ Most people consider Katarina to be intimidating and unapproachable, mostly because she’s not too fond of social interactions, along with having a sharp tongue and a domineering attitude. And since she doesn't really understand social rules, she comes across as mean and arrogant even when she doesn’t intend to.

⬩ Being conventionally attractive and dressing up in very classy, “formal” fashion doesn’t help her case.

⬩ However, if you get involved in an actual conversation with her, you’ll find that she can be very playful and humorous, she just supresses that side of her. And for a good reason, I must say, because she often goes overboard with her teasing, and her humour indeed can be rather mean.

⬩ Conversations with her also tend to easily slip into something that is either sexual or macabre (she might have some issues).

⬩ Katarina is a romantic at heart, but she never had a chance to date anyone, mostly because she has very specific tastes. But then a certain reaper came along, and it turned out that she's actually really flirty. Too flirty even.

⬩ By the start of the canon timeline she was going crazy from boredom and loneliness. Perhaps that’s why she decided to reply to a "Grim Reaper" weirdo who was spamming her with messages from an unknown app she doesn't even remember installing.

⬩ Anyways, since she was so pent-up, and Casper seemed like such an easy target… Yeah, she just went all out on him. Years of untold jokes and atrocious pick-up lines finally found their way out. She surely had a blast making fun of him.

⬩ It’s not like she completely refuses to believe in supernatural, you know. She’s an agnostic, all she needs is some substantial evidence. But instead of providing that evidence, Casper just kept making a fool of himself for the first few days.

⬩ He’s lucky that he’s so pretty and that Katarina has a thing for idiots with an attitude. This guy is exactly her type (and she’s going to make it his problem).

⬩ Unlike canon MC, Katarina wasn’t that surprised to find out that he’s an actual Grim Reaper. She just needed some time to process the implications (and maybe some vodka).

⬩ That is to say, after learning from Casper that the reason she was constantly getting into accidents was her inability to die, she went through the crisis of realising that she really is the reason that so many people that were close to her are now dead.

⬩ She’s also more chill than canon MC. Casper can actually talk to her seriously… Before she inevitably starts trolling him again because she can’t resist the temptation.

⬩ She graduated high school of art and design but didn’t get to the higher education because her parents died, and she was not ready to work and study at the same time. She managed to find a decent job anyways, but she still wants to get a degree in the future when she’s more stable.

⬩ She only has one friend who is just as bad as she is. Said friend lives in another city, but they talk on the phone constantly.

⬩ She adopted her cat about two years ago after stumbling upon her on the streets. Katarina is very protective of Seras and always tries to ensure her safety above everything else.

⬩ Unlike the way it looks in the game, her actual apartments are a mess, with paper, fabric and tools lying everywhere. Though honestly, this mess is nothing compared to how her working space in an atelier looks.

#Yes I did in fact name my MC's cat after one of my favourite characters #Also I like how this game has a character maker. It even had all the elements I needed #But it's disappointing how limited the room customization is #Now I really need to give her a separate name because using my own when talking about her feels awkward... #And I also need to figure out how to rewrite this canonical “embodiment of life” nonsense because it doesn't suit me at all #The first song in the playlist I made gives me some ideas for that... #a date with death mc

thinking about frankenstein's monster again, not anything in particular just kinda brain rotating him like he's the well liked side character of a bad shonen anime

#i'm always thinking about jekyll and hyde though i've been obsessed with those guys since i was way younger #but mister frankenstein's monster has wormed his way into my heart #i'm much too sleepy right now to finish it but when i wake up i hope to continue a video i was watching about the original novel #the concept of frankenstein's monster itself just astounds me it's so great #just everything about it #it feels like a commentary of sorts and maybe it is maybe it isn't #i thought to be thy adam but i am rather the fallen angel #victor is his creator and while not necessarily his god the monster is HIS adam #while the monster had to learn the customs of man he did not truly have to learn how to be man itself #he was created with emotion and the abilities man posses #all he ever wanted was to live and as a creature born with the passion to live amongst men as much as any other man he couldn’t #a hell within itself #and a hell that he did not deserve #a tragedy he could not help and a series of tragedies that overcame him #to not be able to be loved by man and yet be surrounded by him is a worse fate than death #he surely would have rather never lived at all #or maybe been invisible to man entirely #i have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe #if i cannot satisfy the one i will indulge the other #he is a creature of emotion cursed to a life of blind rage #in any other world would he have met a different fate? not at all #man cannot change and he cannot change how he first perceived man and how he was perceived by him #maybe im crazy though #i am crazy im a crazy person!!! #nimposting

another take on my KitN!Jon based on a cool idea by @aemontargaryen-bloodraven about jon having a weirwood crown in twow (cos I read it and immediately became obsessed 😭)

#also I have this headcannon/theory/intense dread #that ghost is gonna die in wow #mainly cos ‘only death can pay for life’ but also cos warg stuff #and I was thinking what if one of the free folk women made a cloak from his pelt for Jon to wear #like maybe some warg custom from a pair bond (idk if there’s anything like this in the extended lore???) #i don’t think Jon would allow it if he knew but if it happened while he was recovering/ waking up I think he’d never be without it #something about skinchangers wearing the pelt like that makes me feel things #also it being in the style of a free folk cloak makes me feel things too #this is what I mean by Jon being my dress up doll #also a aemontargaryen-bloodraven I hope you don’t mind me tagging you #i just read it in your tags the other day and I’ve been obsessed #Jon snow #king in the north #winterfell #stark #winds of winter #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #art #fanart #minsart #also merry Christmas if you celebrate! #and happy Hanukkah!!! #happy holidays in general!!!! #game of thrones #canonjonsnow

Cerys "Baby Carrot" Surana

#oc: cerys surana #i felt like sharing a bunch of screenshots of her #my friend's oc inquisitor (Flyn Lavellan) gave her the nickname Baby Carrot 💖 #i just...have a lot of feelings right now #i'm playing inquisition again to get rid of and sort The Big Sad and other emotions...it's kinda working #these are from her first make to her current make #she progressively got more and more freckles - peachier - and “fleek-er” eyebrows lol #unfortunately she's supposed to be a bigger girl but DA is notorious for not letting us customize bodies as such... #she's also a SHORT queen even for an elf lol #unfortunately that led to a derogatory moniker for her that of being called “the dwarf with pointed ears” in The Circle #and she's struggled with magic control all her life so she's also called “Cerys the Careless” or just “Careless” :T #“Cerys” and “Careless” sounding similar so...yeah. Sad girl. #threatened with tranquility and death a lot as well but Irving kept her protected for the most part #i should make her in origins and actually play her story there too but...y'know lol #she had short hair in Origins/Awakening :3 #hm. i think i just convinced myself to make her there and play that too again lol prolly share screens there too #dragon age #dragon age origins #dragon age inquisition #warden surana #grey warden #hero of ferelden #dragon age elf #dragon age mage #elven mage #redhead #ginger #freckles #original character #oc

Spoke to someone I don’t know over the phone, 11 dead, 32 injured

#I’m all flowery on here but in real life conversation I am the driest most uncomfortably pragmatic person alive #I’ve been scolded for being so task-focused that I forgot to say hello to the secretaries in high school when I went to do a task #or for having an “attitude” with my parents (often when I was purposefully trying to appear humble with an “idk” voice) #so I’ve amended that by fake laughing at everything and keeping my customer service voice on All The Time #0/10 it works flawlessly but I’ve also made myself into a socially anxious doormat #I’ve been the one to break it to people that their friend died on more than one occasion and I always feel bad about how I do it #I usually just blurt it out because I don’t know how to lead up to it other than saying “maybe you should sit down for this” #it would be wrong if I knew and didn’t tell them #so it has to be me… you know? #I’m so disconnected from any feelings of grief (I’ve never felt bereavement in my life) that it feels wrong for it to be me #because I’m physically incapable of sharing in their pain and emotions; I literally don’t understand it #but sometimes I’ll cry reflexively if I see someone else crying even if I don’t have any actual feelings for them or their situation #I’m more disturbed by knowing of people who are alive going through pain than I am by knowing someone died #because death is natural; suffering isn’t #unless the person is a child or otherwise very young #but if they’re old and lived a fulfilling life I recognize they’ve had a fulfilling life and hope that my life #is as fulfilling as theirs was when I go #I’m not afraid of death; I’d just like to not go before I’m good and ready #When I go away I hope that I WANT to go away; you know?

I want season 3 to be two separate plots, one is the crew having their action adventure, and the other is just stede and ed figuring out how to run the inn sitcom style (bc jenkins said they would be horrible at it). The plots are completely unrelated until the very end when the bad guy ends up staying at the inn and the crew tracks him down and they all work together to take out the bad guy

#just scenes of the crew in life or death situations #then cut to stede and ed bickering over the best way to fold towels #the crew escaping from the english #cut to ed and stede having trouble with an obnoxious customer #the crew after a successful raid: i wonder what stede and ed are up to #cut to ed and stede arguing about whose turn it was to clean one of the rooms #ed and stede holding hands peacefully watching the sunset: i wonder what the crew is up to #cut to the crew in an intense battle with lots of screaming #i just want a sitcom about blackbonnet being so bad at running an inn but slowly learning and getting better #ofmd #ofmd s2 #our flag means death #blackbonnet #gentlebeard #ofmd s2 spoilers

Retail companies should have to release their in store playlists so we can all judge whose workers have to put up with the most

#at Whole Foods we had to listen to the 2010s remix of its a hard knock life #the remix removed nearly all of the lyrics #so it was just the same thing repeated over and over and over #it also included some video game boss style music #which was disconcerting #especially when it’s 3pm on a Wednesday and I’m having to make some 65 year old man’s sandwich while the music implies this #is a life or death scenario #like please my anxiety convinces me of that enough as is #whole foods #grocery store #work #retail #customer service #cottagecore-raccoon

hey everyone, happy birthday to eir & happy new year !! as of this post, it’s officially the third year since i first started writing eir & the third celebration of her birthday in toa. thank you for the journey ! i hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful year going forward, and continues to be well and healthy. it’s been such a joy to write eir with everyone here, both past and present, and i’m so grateful to get to share the experience with such amazing people and writers. i’m really sorry i couldn’t devote a lot of time to rp this year, and although the next looks equally as busy, i’ll try my best. thank you for your company and patience as always !

additionally, this post has also been made to signify her continuity change from loosely following her appearances in feh’s forging bonds post-book 3, to now post tempest trials+: life & death. aside from the clear change in appearance & demeanour (though her development in toa has already given her a similar effect, & she will continue to don the ashen wolves uniform), eir also acquiesces to her role as sovereign of ymir and hel, kingdoms of life & death. this fact will not be widely known, but is no longer a complete secret in toa canon (i.e, your muse will have to ask about it / hear it from a zenithian source). she may also undergo a url change soon after this as well. if you have any questions, feel free to ask ! and please look forward to meta observing the tempest trials+ soon. thank you :} !!

#❁ 𝐎𝐎𝐂. housekeeping┊❝ out with the old… ❞ #➵ 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒.┊❝ i am finally able to appreciate the radiance of this world fully. ❞ #// as is custom i’m posting it when the hour (or year? haha) strikes my time! #// gah… happy new Yeir everyone.. ilyall.. #// [so whats ur occupation] [sovereign of life and death] [What]

Don't you ever let anyone tell you that it is too late to switch jobs/careers. Not ever.

Found a job at 18 & stuck with it? Cool.

Wanna change things up every 5 years? Do it.

Wanna start in a new field after devoting 20+ years to a single company? It's never too late!

We only have one dang life on this planet, if you wanna go wild and test all kinds of jobs out & find something your passionate about at 28,39,52? DO IT!

#inspired by personal life stuff lol can you tell #I get looked at SO FUNNY SO OFTEN when I tell new coworkers that I'm 28 #glad that you found aomething early on and stuck with it but that's not a universal experience! #I worked as a tour guide for historical places & in customer service since I was 16 #and guess what. I'm just not passionate about it anymore. it bores me to death. I just want something new #I'm trying to find a job that's fun again. sue me for not wanting to be miserable at my job. like I see so many others #why is it so weird for people if you wanna change things up every 10 years?? i legit don't get it #I do understand that you stay bc of better pay and rank in your work field but if it's just not fun anymore? why torture yourself? #I know I'm gonna fall down to a ''starter's paycheck'' again. I know that for some that sounds crazy #but it's so worth it if you like what you do again. isn't it? #I test-trial-worked at a dentist's yesterday & the girl showing me around & teaching me stuff was 19 #which my sister commented on as 'being embarrassing'. why. why are we pushed so hard into 'one career until you keel over'? #that shit makes me so tired man #I'll probably never be able to stay at a job for more than 10 years cause I'll just get fed up with it & need something new #so what? #woodenelaramble

[thelittlestspider]

i need a job where i don't deal with customers

#kimi is typing #every time i have to deal with customers the life drains out of me #and i pray for death to take me #i want to sit in a little office and just enter data from forms for 8 hours #and go home
