#like less than six months

[sapphire-weapon]

Hi, I just wanted to tell you I really enjoy all your meta and explanations about Leon, Ashley, RE4make and the franchise in general. I am a very new fan, so this is all very intimidating!

Hello new friend! I'm glad you're here.

Resident Evil is a giant clusterfuck, and there's a lot of bad information being spread around the fandom right now, so don't be afraid to ask questions if you need help navigating.

#one of the weirdest bits of misinformation i've seen flying around is #people seem to be under the impression that leon is 'older' in infinite darkness?? #ID takes place only a few months after RE4 ends #like less than six months #because president graham is still in office in ID #and he resigns before degeneration #which takes place a year after RE4 #so idk what the fuck is happening out there in the fandom sphere #but leon is 28 MAX in ID #depending on when his actual birthday is #(though i headcanon him as a leo so for me he'd still be 27 in ID) #it's fucking wild dude idk where ppl's information is coming from #though to be completely fair #i don't know why they set ID so far back in the timeline #like y'all need to understand that vendetta takes place 10 years after RE4 #and ID was released after vendetta was so i have NO IDEA why they did that #but then RE9 is going to likely take place 10 years after vendetta #so like #idk degeneration was already there i don't know why we needed to go all the way back there when there's HUGE GAPS OF TIME unaccounted for #but idk i just live here

Suddenly struck by the idea of Hunter figuring out she's trans in the princess Luz AU. Presumably sometime after Belos is dead and that isn't hanging over her and she finally has just the tiniest hit of space to breathe to figure it out.

Can see Amity being helpful here in terms of figuring things out, either by bring trans herself or one of the twins was (they're identical twins so one of them has to be, I usually HC Em)

Then Hunter coming to Luz with a "deep personal revelation Amity helped her with she needs to know about" followed by immense internal panic for her followed by relief that no, it's not the Grimwalker thing, just a girl shaped surprise, no need to panic. The horrible secrets are safe.

THIS IS VERY SWEET BUT THE LAST PART IS SO FUNNY HELPPP.....

hunter: hey luz. so uhh i noticed some... kind of weird things about..... me and how i uh. feel and how i look and-

luz: [ALARM BELLS]

hunter: -amity's been helping me research and i think i might have figured something out but, um-

luz: [Way Too Brightly] oh! what's up!

hunter: i... i just don't want you to think of me differently afterward, i'm still the same person i've always been so-

luz: mhmm!! of course! :D i'd never think differently of you about Anything, i promise :)

hunter: [deep breath] okay. i... might... be... a girl?

luz: [loudest exhale in the World] OH. THANK THE TITAN

hunter:

luz:

hunter: what.

#HILARIOUS. #add this to a perennial favorite trope of hunter getting to six months on HRT and amity suddenly being like #luz. luz there's something terribly wrong. when did hunter get hot. #<-based on. my own lesbian experiences. #toh #princess luz au #replies #horrible mindscape trauma pals #hunter toh #kestrel toh #i dont know if she'd change her name in this AU i think 'hunter' has less baggage here than in the canon #but to keep transfem hunter posting in one spot.

I’m really glad I’m reading whipping girl because it fully inoculates you against all the stupid horseshit white transmascs say on here every single day

#I have even less patience for transmisandry shit than I did even six months ago #I’m sure I’ll have more comprehensive thoughts on this book as I continue to read #but like right out the gate it’s very clearly going to dismantle all these ridiculous pet theories #about how oppression works #I see serano’s name cursed in those circles too so I’m like extra excited to read it lol #whipping girl

hey uh no offence but when a famous person cheats on their spouse it always sits kind of weird with me when people treat it as if they were just caught doing sex crimes or something. like infidelity is often received as being as or more severe than sexual assault or harassment or domestic violence.

like don't get me wrong AT ALL. cheating on your partner is an extremely shitty and cruel thing to do in most situations. but it's also. a very interpersonal thing. like are you justified for despising someone for cheating ON YOU? yeah for sure. but this is not your marriage is not your partner and you're not the one hurt.

and maybe that's a lack of imagination on my part. but idk cheating feels so much more personal than most Cancelable Offences. bc like for real it's not your marriage, it's a complex issue, and it's not an act of direct violence. different people will cheat for different reasons and different people will respond to being cheated on differently.

(and also sometimes it's not even cheating bc can we look at the vitriol leveled at Jada Pinkett-Smith for 'infidelity' when she and her husband were in a consensual non-monogamy situation by all accounts?)

cheating on your partner is a shitty thing to do but it doesn't, imo, indicate that you're a Danger To Those Around You like for example sexual harassment does. you did a lot of harm to your partner and they will need support and friendship through that. but to people outside this relationship and who don't know you personally like. how is this their business???

#red said #IN FAIRNESS #i have very skewed morals on cheating because I've much more often seen accusations of cheating #do harm as part of a system of coercive control #and paranoia about cheating do harm as a cover for violence and control #than i have seen cheating itself do lasting harm #like i think once you've MORE THAN ONCE had the experience of being sexually assaulted and then attacked for cheating with the assaulter #it makes it hard to get a straight look at the issue #also tbf i haven't actually minded being cheated on when it's happened bc all the monogamous relationships I've been in #were ones i wanted out of but didn't feel allowed to leave #and my partner cheating have me permission to leave bc i knew they had someone else #man shout out to my ex who got SO MANY AND THREATENING when i dumped him bc he COULDN'T SURVIVE ALONE #and had a baby with his best friend's girlfriend SIX MONTHS LATER #anyway yeah i will freely admit that cheating is a lot less of a painful concept for me than for most people #and that doesn't mean other people are wrong for being more hurt by it because it is super super shitty #i just. i feel strongly about this but equally i know that the severity of cheating is a relative blind spot for me

Listen, I know Kaiba built DEATH - T specifically for murder and was faking niceties, but his smile here. The fact that he honestly truly wanted to build Kaiba Lands everywhere. And his looks happy here and not that gremlin fake smile he shows at other parts.

#seto kaiba #yugioh manga #also what kind of contracting did he have? #he only had like less than six months to build an entire tower #that soars over domino #ans no one knew?!?!? #here the discuss putting in a new stop light for 2 years #we're still waiting for the shopping center to be built and they bring it up on the news every 6 months or so #like kaiba corps contractors are efficient

how to make 19 year old boy who came of age during the pandemic and never had a real real job before now realize he needs to Chill The Fuck Out and be Less eagar about working for free holy shit he is impossible to wrangle

#moki talks #hi i got dumped with a shitload of new responsibilities at work #one of which includes trying to teach a Virgin Employee how work life.. works #today i got asked a mindfuckery question that made me go #oh oh no he doesn't even know basic labor laws must get him sat down with hr like yesterday #do you wanna know what the question was #'so if you work more than 8 hours are you like required to take a lunch??' #CHILD PLEASE #i have told him no less than SIX times now to STOP. WORKING. OFF. THE. CLOCK. jesus christ #it is a CHALLENGE when this is all in a remote environment #sigh. i am not cut out for teaching kids #lawd i am trying tho #i guess in his defense there aren't labor law posters plastered everywhere to read during breaks/downtime #as there are in the typical workplace environment #idk man he's a good kid very smart tons of initiative but i have a feeling this aint the job for him #which really sucks cause its basically his dream job but #bruh i need you to get like 3-6 months minimum of real people customer service job skills #smh i am flabbergasted he asked me about the break policy he has 0 concept of the severity of labor laws #like no wonder states are pushing for child labor again NO ONE IS EDUCATING THESE KIDS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS. FUCK.

My mom's spent a bunch of time arguing with me about how I should be a lawyer and I keep telling her I fucking hate arguing and conflict and the fact that I'm arguing at all is being used against me. :\

Also she keeps insisting I could do it because I'm sooo smart. There's thousands of lawyers out there who are dumber than me, that isn't the issue, the issue is do I have the temperament and how much more can my mental health take.

#kaesa op #venty post #i know there's kinds of law where you don't have to do confrontation but a lot of it is incredibly boring #I'd be banking on being fascinated by one of those limited areas of law #and I'd be spending a LOT of time and money and energy on it #and i barely have the energy to keep applying for jobs and occasionally feeding myself #like it is genuinely a fucking struggle #the past few years have been some of the roughest on my mental health and it feels like people are like “why don't you just try harder! #you're doing so great! #you had six interviews in twelve months and the economy is amazing!“ #and they get mad at me for feeling hopeless #meanwhile im asked to explain my resume gap #by people who want to pay me $20k less a year than what the Think Positive people claim i should be making #and they're like hmm it looks like you were unwilling to kill your grandmother to keep doing your shitty minimum wage job #people just don't want to work #id love to work but if you don't believe me id also love to take a vegetable peeler to your dick actually

[starbuck]

giving characters minor flaws that are symbolic of their major conflicts is SO much fun. this character is completely unable to foresee what should be entirely predictable beats of his life, so what if he also has no sense of rhythm? wouldn’t that be neat? i’m gonna be honest, this is all a set-up for gay sex.

#to be fair it’s a character study WITH gay sex #but still #if i ever actually write this fic then you will understand my vision #right now i’m writing six original monologues and character backstories that need to be completely ready to go in less than a month #so fic is aggressively on the backburner #but i really like this concept - so i may very well write it #probably after i rewatch again with my Mom-mom

what is lineage, if not a silver thread of pride and guilt?

you know what. i do not feel bad that family/friends delay telling me their dog acquiring news because they fear i'll be judgmental. 1.) like hmmm. why do we have something bad to judge i wonder?? 2.) i have never been incorrect in my judgements of people's backyard breeder buying habits being bad ideas for those individuals. and it's so clear that the family/friends of mine that delay their dog news know they are getting dogs from less than reputable sources just based on their behavior. like c'mon people. let's set you up for success instead.

#dogblr #relatives that got the lab puppy less than six months ago only had that puppy for like less than a week before they gave it back bc it was #'too much' #but are now getting a BYB boxer puppy instead. #can't even express how bad of an idea i feel that is #like i could have helped you find a nice show line lab but noooo #like why is questioning why the local byb malamute person around me has like 12-14 litters (combined sibe and mal) each year is me being #'too harsh' #people in my life need to have better standards honestly like #you feel like you'll be judged bc you will be #literally begging people to get a dog that is right for their lifestyle please #like fam do we feel a byb boxer puppy #with no health testing or temperament testing to its recent pedigree #is a good fit for a home with kids 2 and 6 and 8. #bc i kinda feel like this will be a bad idea #'it's their choice tho!' some people will say #yeah it's also my choice to judge them lol

[that-was-anticlimactic]

waiting for my period to start is literal terror like i can hear the metaphorical suspenseful music playing and feel nervous and can’t stop checking to see if he’s here and can’t stop thinking about when will it come? will i need to throw away any underwear this time? what if it comes in the middle of the night? should i just sleep on a towel?

#this post is really dramatic but i really hate my period so like it's okay methinks #sometimes you just have to be really dramatic about your period. you know. coping. #okay no look sometimes i throw underwear away that prolly doesn't Need to be thrown away but i have a weird thing with stains so if the #blood doesn't Completely come out - like if i can still see it - then i will never wear it again iuyghtfvdghyuiuytfgdw i hate stains SO MUCH #that's why i set aside specific underwear to wear when i'm on my period and that's the Only time i ever wear it #because they're black and like smaller than the usual underwear i wear so that way there's less fabric to bleed onto #i keep checking because i kNOW HE'S COMING my last one started dec thirtieth and it's always early #it was like five or six days early last month so i know he'll be here early this month ahhhhhhhhh #i just. hate being on my period lol i mean who likes it? #not to be dramatic on main but like. stop tormenting me and just come!!! why can't periods just have a scheduled date so you Know and like a #date that never changes pls and thank you or better yet how about no #periods whatsoever that sounds great omg typing these tags just made me remember why i felt so uncomfortable when i woke up the other day - #i had a dream about stains being all over all the sheets/surfaces i was sitting/laying on omg that's fricking it what the heck #ahem anyways #paul tag #tw periods

got dragged to a pub quiz with some of my housemates buddies and was fully convinced i was not really gonna have a good time and itd probably be too loud and i wouldnt be much help etc etc etc bc my mood is still not great but i forgot im a competitive motherfucker when it comes down to it and the sheer rush of euphoria that comes from knowing a few more obscure answers that had the rest of the room hemming and hawing is gonna carry me through the next week probably

#when nobody else in the wetherspoons in rural wales knows what the capital of florida is or what you call a female swan #the big ass grin spreading across my face and sheer rush of Power listening to 2 people the next table over arguing over whether #its jacksonville or miami. you Fools. you absolute buffoons. i know more than you/j/j/j/j #i am so exhausted now and the 'yea this is Over you are enjoying urself too late' sadness is creeping back in but it was worth it #we came 3rd...... the prize was a whole pitcher of some cocktail for the group but i do not drink so i just went home to bed #a female swan is called a pen btw i knew that six month long job spouting swan facts at 8 year olds would come in handy someday #IDK i still have a lot to work through but i feel like i should make a slightly less depressing post today skdfjh;; #shoutout to my housemate for always somehow noticing when i have just not left my room in a day and coming to drag me out of it #i was so close to just not eating again (which tbf. i didnt. until like 6pm whoops) #but now i have done that AND touched grass AND socialised AND feel good abt myself a bit.. so..... #i worry a lot that people dont really. notice or care that much when im struggling/when they do that its annoying or a burden so #im very grateful to have people who care about me enough to try and pull me out of it. i hope wherever i end up after this #that i can surround myself with more people like that #man this feels pretty bittersweet to think about as well but in more of a cathartic kinda way. i guess #trying to think abt things slightly more positively so i dont turn into a festering black pit of bad vibes for the next few weeks #and my blog still inexplicably feels like the nicest place to sort through this kinda thing

what matters at team trivia is not winning, but watching your manager lose 😎

#coats chats #coats vs capitalism #i did also win tho. by like. a lot. #could a depressed person looking for a different job fo THIS.jpg #i swapped teams six months ago and every day i miss my old manager #who is a very blunt guy. but way more on top of things and way less passive aggressive than my current manager

As the pendulum is swinging back to “stop shaming people for leaving likes”, I am going to go on record to say I don’t like like because they’re a purely “number go up” metric that most people do not treat with the kind of thoughtful affection people who talk about leaving “little kisses for the people they follow” treat them as. I feel this exact same way about kudos in that mindless interaction from a potential audience is a real “good for you” kind of situation that simply does fuck all for me.

And before someone can call this grind culture brainrot, I also feel this way about reblogs without commentary. Good for you. I'm glad I was a good dancing monkey, enough for you to go “hey [people following me], lookadis guy”, even if you’re not gonna actually tell me that. We can talk about our choices for engaging with things and people on this site all we want, but intent isn’t magic, and I’m gonna reserve the right to complain about how that treatment feels regardless.

#van stuff #Anyway you as an individual are allowed to use this site however you want obviously #I'm just asserting that my memory is longer than six months #The reason people STARTED complaining about this was because people were saying shit like 'why are your likes hidden' #and treating 'liking' as the 'passive sharing' that reblogging without commentary used to be #Tumblr has historically had GARBAGE passive boosting options as the 'For You' tab is a fresh invention that barely fucking works #and new users were actively deluding themselves into thinking likes *were* engagement and demanding people show their likes to others #to make the user experience of this site more like the sites they came from #and most people who have been on this site for long enough know that any post with a huge note count #is gonna have a significant amount of threads calling it Fucking Stupid #and people adding likes to that post based on the commentary #Like... many of us actively have 'don't reblog shitty posts no matter how insightful the comments are' policies #BECAUSE boosting the notes of a shitty post is Bad For Discourse #me? a bitter former LJ user who never got over not having comments? Yes. #Am I AWARE that expecting the kind of interaction I enjoy is completely pointless? Also yes #but I'm still just not gonna say nothing as the pendulum swings back to hit me in ther face y'know? #EVENTUALLY it will have to come to a stop -- I just don't want it to come to a stop on 'less conversation happening continually' #also I need to remind myself to go tell wip that I want threaded comments on Tumblr #even Tiktok has them. They would be an incredible boon

the other grads going 'we love having three-day work weeks and vacation time' well that must be fucking nice!!!

#for context if you work 36 hrs/wk (3 12 hr days) it's still considered full time #you make less money but you get bonus if you volunteer for shifts #but we have to make 80 hrs biweekly so we have to do a stupid 8 hr every two weeks #and I just want the cleanliness of a three-day week PLEASE #anyway I just signed up for the january and february schedule #call every other weekend is annoying but it does mean money #and I need to get these loans paid off already!!! I have a six month plan but also I'm impatient #none of the og ppl at work have been able to take a vacation more than 4 days long #one of them is being denied her jan vacation so she's just like I'll call out #she got offered a job with lower stress better schedule and more vacation and our manager is NOT doing much to try to keep her on #I still have a whole week of vacation left this year but am i going to be able to take it? absolutely not #better take at least 2 next year #cor.txt

Have you ever considered becoming a cowboy before? This is not like a loaded question you just seem to have a lot of knowledge on them

i do actually have a lot of Radiant Country Knowledge bc i used to spend my feral girl summers on a farm one of my parent's friends owned, and therefore have had the awareness of What They Do Down There forced upon me.

i think if i could wrap my head around, like, the idea of horses as animals who don't inherently mean me harm, it'd be a pretty viable career path, but i'd probably be better off sticking to my 'ditch the judaism and join a covenant' back-up plan. i just can't see myself wearing that much denim.

#i secretly know even more cowboy facts that i have been withholding from you guys #like i've been mentioning week/month long cattle runs #but uh #they were actually more like half a year on the shorter side #but seeing your kidnapper once every six months is significantly less sexy than the alternative #personal #anon ask
