I wish ‘talks too much about gardening and milkweed but not in an eloquent way and has blogs but not in an eloquent way’ was a job I could be paid money for

Job hunting sucks ass thank you for coming to my tedtalk

#out of queue #ani rambles #may delete later #i want a job to have until I land animation work but my parents dont want me to do retail #but everything else is like ‘do you know chainsaw? do you have years of prior experience #do you know euthanasia? do you have a scientific degree? prior leadership experience? #oh by the way low wage. also fuck off.’

Bakugo: God, what took you so long at the store, nerd?

Izuku: Well, I was checking out with my cashier and she looked upset, so I asked what’s wrong and next thing I knew, I’m listening to her cry and talk about her estranged relationship with her mother.

Bakugo:

Izuku: And damnit, I would do it all over again because she needed someone in that moment.

i really hate how the fandom’s excuse for jayfeather’s shitty behavior (and outright medical malpractice in certain cases. looking at the time he refused to help squilf in labour bc he couldnt be bothered and later blamed her for how bad it was) is “well the clan was ableist to him growing up, so fuck them!” ok how does that excuse him screaming at and berating the cats that didnt do any of that. or the babies.

#or ‘’well hes snarky and mean! we dont get snarky and mean characters!’’ what are you talking about everyone in this series is an asshole #im also a bit bitter bc you know if he were a she cat then he’d get tons of animations of ocs killing him #ppl (fanon and authors) really really want jay to be this underdog whos just grumpy at best #but in reality hes like. one of the head honchos in the clan. he holds a ton of power over people #sure sometimes the narrative doesnt WANT that to be the case but hes literally gods messenger boy #and is in charge of medical care #maybe im just very familiar with shitty doctors/nurses who abuse their patients and excuse it with ‘’but im stressed :(‘’ #but this character never was endearing to me even before the team switch #jayfeather is not your beaten down blorbo in a shitty retail job hes the nurse making a tiktok about how cringey pregnant patients are #also i just. really despise ‘’but theyre traumatized :(‘’ as an excuse for abusive behavior #did you ever think maybe some of his patients like twigkit were traumatized by his behavior?

being an adult with a hyperfixation on extremely childish media is so funny i feel like a plant by Big Autism to infiltrate the neurotypical masses. i cannot tell a soul about the 2010s minecraft roleplay series i am constantly thinking about or the mission will be compromised.

#nobody in this developmental psychology course knows im actually thinking about two fake minecraft men kissing rn #and it shall STAYYY that way ☝️‼️ #i literally go to school full time and have a part time retail job on the side. #i am going on 21 entire years old. yall. #aphblr #aphmau #minecraft diaries #mcd #actually autistic

OH MY FUCKING GOD

I JUST WENT TO MY LOCAL HOT TOPIC THAT I'VE BEEN GOING TO FOR LIKE. 5 OR 6 YEARS NOW RIGHT??

I GOT SOME MCR STUFF BECAUSE. OF COURSE. IF YOU'VE SEEN MY RECENT POSTING HABITS YOU KNOW. THE BRAINROT IS REAL

I WAS TALKING WITH THE CASHIER ABOUT THEM BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO A FAN AND HE FUCKING SAYS "you wanna know a fun fact? this is the hot topic the lead singer used to work at! :D"

FUCKING WHAT

GERARD WAY USED TO WORK AT MY LOCAL FUCKING HOT TOPIC?!?

AND AFTER I LEFT I LOOKED IT UP TO MAKE SURE HE WASN'T FUCKING WITH ME AND YEAH. HE WAS RIGHT. WHAT THE FUCK

SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS THIS IS LIKE. WORLD-SHATTERING INFORMATION TO ME AND HE JUST DROPPED THAT SHIT SO CASUALLY WHAT THE HELL BRO. I NEEDED TO SCREAM ABOUT THIS SOMEWHERE

#rys.txt #tw caps #caps #LIKE. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? #I KNEW THEY WORKED AT A HOT TOPIC WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT ONE #ok. its ok i'm normal now (i'm not) #on another note. why are all hot topic employees like the nicest people on this earth. at least they are at mine #they always greet you when you walk in and ask if you need help and if you don't they leave you alone which is nice #and then when you check out they're always really chill and don't rush you and if you're buying or wearing something they also like they'll #talk about it with you #like. i know you have to be nice to people for a retail/customer service job like that but it always feels really genuine from them #same thing goes for spencer's employees too they're also like that #idk its just really nice for someone like me who's scared shitless of social interaction with strangers. it makes me way less anxious 👍 #anyways. light and love everyone 💖 i'm gonna go recover from learning that information now #my chemical romance #mcr #gerard way

making friends with the coffee shop employees really pays off. my favorite barista at my favorite cafe told me they'll have job openings soon and he'll let me know when they open up and put in a good word for me if i apply :D

#🐉 #its still retail work but itd be a nice change of scenery after 5 years in the same place without much advancement #or potentially some extra work i can pick up until im qualified for something better #and i already know i get on well with the staff and they know a little about me as a person so thats a relief

post-st4 Steve and Argyle unexpectedly bonding over the pros and cons having the type of inattentive parents that let you do things like throw house parties, and smoke weed all the time, and disappear into an underground Russian base for 24 hours, and drive across the country in a stolen van with a superpowered fugitive

#plus of course the horrors of retail and getting thrown headfirst into upside down bullshit #hell jonathan joins in bc lord knows no one was supervising him most of the time with his mom having to work so much and take care of will #steve harrington #stranger things argyle #stranger things #st argyle #is stargyle a ship name #it sounds good so i'm going with that #stargyle #shsm writes

she's looking especially sacrificial lamb today 🥩

#we're so back baby #i think i'm finallyyyy through the worst of this awful depression i've been in for the past like. month and a half #i mean i woke up this morning and thought ''the sun is so beautiful'' so i think i'm good for now fjksjds #which is great because there's some heavy stuff coming up that i just couldn't handle in that mental state #so i'm hoping i'll be able to move things along a little quicker #but also i might be getting a job in retail against my better judgement so who knows #i've never actually worked in retail... i've done food service and i was a cashier at a pop up shop but nothing like an actual store #but i seriously can't find a job with my degree nor can i even find a desk job. so i'm. man. it's rough out here #i might have to move. but with what money?? lmao the eternal dilemma #SORRY this is a whole diary entry #i hope you guys are well 💖

tattoo artist is too cool for sukuna. why would they try to make him sexy in a normal way.

you get it anon,,, i think part of what makes sukuna so disproportionately fuckable is the fact that he has never once cared about how fuckable he is. tattoo artist mob leader gang member sukuna just doesn't suit him (imo obviously of course) because they make him so hot it just circles back around to cringe. he's trying too hard. put him in a kitchen. it's where he belongs.

#this might just be the retail worker in me but i know he would be so good to his servers too #definitely doesn't have any other chefs bc Have You Met Him #but he generally lets the staff do literally whatever #come in crying bc your dog went missing or something and he'll literally just be like #“wtf are you doing here you're bringing down the vibes” #“yeah whatever i'll still pay you just take the tip jar and gtfo” #he's a good boss like that #personal #anon ask

[pfhwrittes]

what if i make nikolai the unhinged seasonal department manager in the retail hell universe? it would suit him i think. the seasonal department is an ungovernable land filled with some of the wildest people i've ever met

#retail hell au #i know i talk about stockflow being filled with grumpy men #but seasonal is where it's at for unhinged behaviour #i think it's all the access to fresh air

#mgs #kazuhira miller #id in alt text #i swear to god ive only drawn kaz for like the past week and a half #just portrait after portrait page after page #i was going to say i dont know whats wrong with me but we all know the culprit is retail #anyways. i had way too much fun with the hand drawn deco stickers #also foxhound kaz is just based off a sarah connor screenshot. hashtag transition goals #i have a hard time drawing ponytails for whatever reason #but short hair kaz? mildly cursed. idk how i feel about it #well. that's enough from me today goodnight love u bye

do we as a society think tom riddle could do math. yes or no

#i tip back and forth on this because on one hand how good was tom’s ‘muggle’ learning at the orphanage #and did it just stop once he started going to hogwarts. or did he study in the summer #but if he Was bad at math and at some point had to face an equation that made him realize it #he’d probably be disturbed at being incapable of something so mundane and just force himself to learn it alone #this raises the question of whether any wizards can do math #especially purebloods #i know draco malfoy would throw up if he looked at a times table #TOM WORKED IN RETAIL. HE HAS TO KNOW MATH…. #but wizarding currency is also like Here’s one big gold coin and here’s another coin that’s not as good and #whatever. #take your doubloons #no math required #this doesn’t deserve so much thought but i’m being deranged about it #💤 #tom riddle

Something being expensive is relative but it’s always interesting to me how some people just have no concept of scale when it comes to the gulf between the wealthy and everyone else, especially when we can look up the price of anything.

Like I saw a thing about how burning man 2023 is a wreck, and someone was like “well fuck them for being able to spend $500 on tickets for something - rich people deserve to have a miserable time!” And it’s like ?? I get being broke and being annoyed at people spending money on things you perceive as a waste of money but like, it is over a week long, you can’t even get hotels that cheap when you break it down per night. And like yes, there’s expensive VIP stuff (which imo is probably helpful to offset costs being that they don’t do corporate sponsorships) and rich people have started going and spending crazy amounts on accommodations but from my understanding the majority of people aren’t that, and are kinda annoyed with it becoming a more celebrity / rich people thing.

#idk I don’t love burning man or anything but I know a couple people who go and they work in retail
