Well, it finally happened. I cried at work.

#I managed to hold it together until the end of the meeting #and just cry on the way back to my desk in front of my work partner #and not in front of our horrific manager #but she asked me to prepare a specific thing in a specific way for our meeting #I did exactly as she asked #I had my work partner look at it #I also had my former manager look at it #and he’s spearheading that same thing on his own new team #they both said it looked great #I presented it in the meeting #there was a few seconds of dead silence #and then our manager made it very clear that she wanted it done in a very different way #one she’d never asked for #and asked that everyone in the meeting brainstorm over the week #and come back next Tuesday to make a new one together #moving the bar #and making me look incompetent #I’m actively looking for a new job #both inside and outside the company #but swallowing all of this while I look #is going to be the best acting performance of my life #Oscar worthy stuff #cause emotionally I’m all the way done

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.

“Is he coming to the Manor or…”

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Deadly Decisions #Danny & Ras are the homoerotic rivals that no one knows if they’re flirting or attempting a murder #It’s actually both they’re just also both Immortal #Danny to Jason: You can become a crime lord if you finish college- you’ve said you wanted to get a degree this is ur chance #Dusan (nodding): Mother has made all of us finish at least our basic education nephew #Why yes this does mean that RH has just made the heads in a duffel bag debut & the bats have no clue it’s Jason #Normally Danny wanders the universe but RAS (affectionately derogatory) HOW DARE U TRY TO HIDE THE GRANDCHILDREN #Morally Gray Danny #He’s well over 300 and that has an affect lol #Also has some fun fae vibes thx to his ghost half & human half finally balancing out #Let Jason & Damian be brothers #Tiny Damian: Akhi look I found a frog :>#Jason (newly not brain damaged & has no clue who this small child is): …. That’s great #Tiny Damian: *GASP* Akhi you can talk now :D #Fuck it- all the Al Ghuls deserve fangs from ecto contamination #Is Danny actually Dusan & Talia’s mother? No one knows and no one wants to ask the probably immortal fae being okay #Danny brought Damian a ghost hound puppy & Jason an original signed Pride & Prejudice book #How come Bruce wasn’t aware of Danyal? Talia forgot to inform him that the mother she was speaking of is in fact still alive #He disappears for a decade sometimes longer she was using past terms how was he supposed to know

I love getting my silly little dose of validation whenever I explain something as small to my childhood as "yea they taught us to be prepared to be soldiers in spiritual warfare between angels and demons from a young age" and having my therapist or a friend respond like

#my therapist thought I was making a crusades joke and looked genuinely distressed when I said No No. I mean literal spiritual warfare.#I've never seen a person go thru the 5 stages of grief faster than that man in that moment #by spiritual warfare I mean the demons and angels fighting around us at all times or whatever the fuck #the thing that causes people to say the devil is attacking them #but yea no that fueled my martyr complex but not nearly as much as other things #cause this one was at least hypothetical and invisible #'She Said Yes' and whatnot was much more real and much scarier #my paranoia was awful in middle and high school #But yea me and a friend of mine were both raised in separate cults so we were explaining our cults to a friend and it was a great time #it's fuckin wild out here #ex christian #religious trauma

do you have any alecto/anastasia hcs?

I think my biggest hc is that Anastasia wanted to be present at laying Alecto down in the tomb, but something went not as planned, cause she helped design it and it's her house, where is she

and not quite a hc but I want Alecto snatch some of Anastasia's bones before leaving the tomb

but tbh the moment I got the ask my mind completely blanked out on everything I was thinking about them, I'll add more to this post if I remember some of it

but thank you for asking!

#but it's complicated cause I don't have a lot of understanding of how canaan house and the ninth was back then #and what timeline of events looked like so i keep rotating in my head dif scenarios with dif ideas #Anasatasia could've had her own way of calming Alecto during tantrums but Alecto still could accidentally hurt her in out rage #at least Anastasia is great at mending broken bones #them hanging out in the pool is everyone's hc #but once had an idea that telling the true started with them both submerged and Alecto just unpromptedly started bluntly blurting out stuff #but in the gist of 'I'm eating pencils' and then it escalated with time #someone said before that Alecto being sorry about Samael in her nature might mean that she somehow was responsible even if not in direct wa #it could be eating her out after Samael's death and seeing how heartbroken Anastasia was #so later on the ninth she drags Anastasia into the water and reveals something that makes Anastasia realize John fucked her over #Anastasia's breaking down and after on it could lead to the vow being made #cause I'm still thinking about that one line that John says 'Anastasia knew 'at the time' that killing Samael was a necessity'#like she could've figure out something #keep rotating in my mind conversation that goes like #Alecto: are you angry with me #Anastasia: yes. but I'm not being fair

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it

#ria.txt #i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????'#but then it was like. yeah. i see #love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations #also. izutsumi #what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes #the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected #hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille #not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop #it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes #haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face]#those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that #the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious #marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone-#-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH.#i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag #the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact #very solid and well rounded series wooo #the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together #anyways. dunmeshi au.....#more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison #ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters #which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste #false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her #martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy #stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty #the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone #i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her??#and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

it's funny. I keep making all these posts defending Aziraphale and it's because there's this annoying trend in the fandom to villainize him while simultaneously woobifying Crowley, so there's a need for more Aziraphale perspective

but I was thinking, if we stopped looking at fandom for a minute, and just regarded Aziraphale as a character, how would I criticize him or his choices?

then I realized I wouldn't cos my wife did nothing wrong in her life

#joking? ish?#idk man #like the biggest sticking points are what?#he wanted to change crowley and he abandoned crowley #both of which are just wrong #there was never another option for aziraphale #if you look closely at his character arc you'd realize so #he's a protector first and foremost #but alright you say he shouldn't have gone back to heaven anyway #and what?#try to protect humanity by egging on a bunch of 12 year olds again?#stand by and watch other angels be horribly treated?#and watch humans' lives be toyed with?#like seriously what was he supposed to do?#im genuinely asking here.#even if he didn't offer to change crowley even if crowley could tag along to help him #while remaining a demon #CROWLEY STILL WOULDN'T HAVE SAID YES #so. the solution is for him to just sit tight? and watch the world end when he could've stopped it from a position of power?#yeah great #maybe i wasn't joking after all #sary rants

sorry I truly don’t understand how people treat dean not knowing ‘the basics’ for Jack to be admitted to a hospital as some kind of argument for him being a bad father lmao.. Like numero uno he lived his entire life completely independent of any actual medical attention so what the fuck would he know to tell a receptionist and numero dos: the entire episode he is stressing the fuck out about Jack’s condition and anxious to get help for it without all the legal distractions that’s Literally it

#not a dig at sastiel but it’s soooo funny how the sastiel aspect of it was. look cas put his coat on jack and Sam is helping carry him #like yeah that’s fine that’s great I’m not refuting anything about them or their . idk. true dad status or whatever #but deans popping blood vessels about getting jack help and it’s just… why are y’all blatantly ignoring that …..#cal.txt #spn #spn rewatch #spn 14x07 #jack kline #dean winchester #both my parents and multiple relatives regularly confuse me with my sister #and both me and my brother have had legitimate arguments about what year our sister was born in #and I’m sure if either of us were in a situation like jacks then some things just would not matter to us lmao #said it before will probably be saying it again as I keep rewatching but Dean is the under-hyped dad bc he doesn’t explicitly coddle jack

oh my god can ppl find a reason to ship/not ship something that’s in the middle of a ship war w/o trying to make out the other character to be the worst person in existence? honest to god it’s not that hard to say “this ship doesn’t work for me bcz of xyz” u rlly do not need to go “uhhh actually no it’s not character a that’s a horribly racist asshole who thinks SA is cool (that’s so stupid wtf, they barely did anything), its character b. did u not see how they [smallest thing possible]??? can’t believe the hypocrisy u have going on here…” like seriously PLEASE u do not have to justify urself to this level it just makes everything 10x more annoying

#kataang/z*tara ship war posting in the year 2023? more likely than u think.#also abt the whole jancy/st*ncy thing but this was spurred by me seeing a kataang v zk argument where both ppl just sounded so insufferable #literally “aang is so racist for not liking this one water tribe dish” “actually zuko dismissing aang’s anti-revenge philosophy is the same #as the great grandkid of an ss officer making fun of jewish culture”#(not even exaggerating they both said that basically verbatim)#like babes please it’s really not that serious-#i hate how this happens every time there’s a ship war that’s boy x girl v same girl x different boy #it’s always “erm actually it’s implied in one frame in s1 that boy 1 hates black ppl bcz of the red x over the black background”#“oh yeah? well boy 2 was an asshole pre-character development so he’s definitely homophobic as hell”#with minimal mention of the girl u guys r shipping them with #like look i love kataang nd while jancy might not be my fav of all time i still ship them #but holy shit u guys can be as annoying as the zk/st*ncy shippers u claim to hate #idk this is just a problem i have with fandoms a lot nd i needed to yell abt it #rant #ship wars #fandom bs #atla #kataang #pro aang #pro zuko #ryan shut the fuck up

I think all the triplets have, accidentally or on purpose, called Beakley "granny" at one point or another.

Louie is the first one to slip up and it's like calling the teacher "mom". Beakley doesn't comment on it but if Scrooge notices she's happier than usual afterwards despite acting as normal as possible, no he didn't <3.

Webby is ecstatic about it each and every time .

#bentina beakley #ducktales 2017 #huey duck #louie duck #dewey duck #scrooge mcduck #webby vanderquack #rashi's rambles #look I just think Louie would be too focused on his phone to realize he said 'thanks granny' instead of 'Mrs B'#and only hits him after a while when both are already off doing their own thing. Doesn't look her in the eye for like a week #yes Huey has called a teacher 'mom' before BUT YOU COULD AVOID HER AFTERWARDS WE DIDN'T LIVE WITH HER DEWFORD #this would be a great 5+1 type of fic IF I KNEW HOW TO WRITE. Or like. could actually verbalize thoughts hshsjs #anyways if anyone knows someone who's done HDL and Beakley bonding pls tell me I can never get enough of it

Many men had offered her many things in the past, love and friendship, luxury and jewels, entertainment, dogs, amusements, homage--some she had accepted, some refused, but no man before had offered her work. Peter had offered her that, he had offered her a share of his--not noble or inspiring or fascinating work, just his work, what he had. He had offered it her, called her great energies into play, and set her to work beside himself in a furrow. And she was glad; for some reason she found it very good.

--Desire by Una Lucy Silberrad

#books #jo walton has done it again #almost the only reason i ever look at tor.com these days is to read her monthly roundup of the books she's read #because a good chunk of her reading is the type of classics i love #including a lot of forgotten light classics of the early 20th century #this was one of those #mentioned in a column from last year that i happened to read the other day #with a review that said this should be one of those classics that everyone knows and reads #instead of being this completely forgotten book #and since it happened to be on hoopla (a common perk of these types of book recs from her) i read it #i don't think it's all-time classic great #but it's a solid middlebrow novel #the beginning was a bit of rough going but after the major part of the plot kicked off it become rather lovely #because there was a lot of the above #explorations of the value of work and friendships and relationships #and because of things like the above quote the central relationship is one of my favorite romances of the year #it's a solid relationship built on friendship and mutual respect #with both of them having stories and emotional journeys beyond the romance #reminded me a little bit of gaskell in some ways

*house of the dragon episode 2 spoilers*

literally laughing SO HARD abt rhaenyra pulling up to dragonstone just like "uncle i know you fucking lied abt getting her pregnant and frankly this temper tantrum of yours is both tedious and a sad cry for attention. do you want to kill me? is that it? it'd be easier on all of us" and daemon just smiling at her as if she made him proud calling his semi-bluff before then scowling at otto and yeeting her the egg. truly if the targs have nothing else, it's an abundance of dragon-sized audacity

#house of the dragon #someone edit that one sailor moon and tuxedo mask meme with daemon dramatically walking away and unimpressed rhaenyra #the way daemon started clutching the egg to his chest when rhaenyra showed up with syrax #king said she's gonna say swiper no swiping and i'm gonna have to give it back:(((#also the way both of them immediately transitioned to valyrian both bc it's THEIR shared secret language but also #to alienate everyone else and keep it an A-B conversation #honestly feel like if otto and the others weren't there daemon would've ruffled rhaenyra's hair before leaving or smth #bc he honestly looked quite fond of her after she dressed him down like that #but then he was like oh wait we have my least favoritw mf here as audience my pride says no affection only scowl #do i ship them yet? no bc rhaenyra is only 15. is the whole concept of targaryen inbreeding Not Great? yes.#i will say tho that the obvious affection (platonic or otherwise) that daemon and rhaenyra have going on rn is v cute #and i'm looking forward to how matt and emma's own dynamic will teanslate going forward in the show's timeline #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #house of the dragon spoilers #matt smith #milly alcock #emma d'arcy #otto hightower #rhys ifans

Started writing an affectionate shitpost about the joys of the Bell's Hells plans going awry versus the joys of the Mighty Nein's plans going awry, realized I was just making this post again, and decided to make a visual aid instead.

[Image description: An edit of the "stepping on rakes meme".

The top half is a cartoon character, labelled "Bell's Hells", about to step on the rake, thinking "haha you know what would be funny", with a thought bubble of that same character stepping on a rake and being hit in the face by the handle.

The bottom half is a cartoon guy, labelled "The Mighty Nein." He's drawn in a different style, clearly doing some very fancy skate-board esque manuveurs on a rake, down a flight of stairs with no injury, with panicked cursing of "oh no" "oh god oh fuck" "oh shit oh god" "haha- fuck" throughout. His descent ends with him landing on the rake head at the bottom, still winding up hitting himself in the head with the handle, identical to the top image.

End id]

#Bell's Hells: Haha imagine if we INTENTIONALLY incited one of your murderous rages tho :)#The Mighty Nein: Oh God an authority figure is looking at us LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE *becomes heroes for a completely diff authority figure*FUCK #critical role #the mighty nein #bell's hells #party comparison post #Its truly the art of 'we know what could go wrong and its funny' and 'sometimes our panic avoidance brings problems to us'#shitpost #<3 #(said with great affection towards both parties)#spar speaks

i was finally able to watch dune part two. im unwell. it was a masterpiece, just as expected. completedly obsessed with paul as always

the paulalia is also so strong, paul starting the movie with his first word being sister??? his little speach to alia?? she loving and believing him from the womb???? unhinged.

whoever said that eveything has to do with leto even though he was just some dude, but also he was the moral compass and self control of the most unhinged and powerful people in this fucking gallaxy is so right. there is also how for me paul just becomes everything to jessica and alia - husband;son;brother;father - i dont even have the words to explain im just here for it.

also is there something wrong with me, that i just dont really care about chani??? like i can understand her importance and all that she represents and see what they are doing with all her interactions with paul and everything that is going on,,,, but idk she becomes a little boring in the middle of every unhinged character.

paul had more chemistry with alia, who is a fetus, his own mother, an imperial princess who he only sees once, the counsin he just met and murdered and like everyone else?? kinda made me sad because i really like zendaya and i know she does a good job but i was almost annoyed with her, i wanted to see paul interacting (not even romantically) with everyone else but her.

haha hell yeah the fellow sickos finally representing!!! also yes omg I think that's the crux of it all post leto dying that they sort of all become everything to each other! freak fam merging and blurring and transgressing and over stepping!!! and then the water of life ceremonies on top of that! removing them so far from the rest of humanity! of conventionality! no one else could possibly understand but each other! they are Other together!!!!

#asks #dune #paulalia #((agree mostly on the chani part especially didnt care for the romance in the book it felt very. well. thats something that usually happens #so were having it happen too. but as i said given what blockbuster romances usually look like and also the changes made in the film #having chani be his lover and that ideological counterpoint made flesh was a great choice for both him and her #but yeah i wouldn't have minded some more paul exhibiting behaviour moments with aliajessicaitulan ect ))

i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.

#two fairly recent examples jump to mind #last year my class did a secret santa #the guy who got my name barely knew me so instead he asked our litterature teacher for tips #i was doing an effort to participate a lot in her classes and discuss stuff and i felt like she was an adult i could really trust #and adult who Gets It #and she picked just. the wrong gift. a classical philosophy essay.#stuff i hate reading. stuff i hate thinking about.#i said thank you to both of them and tried to read it during christmas break still. but i was right. i hated it.#and this year's christmas #recently i tried patching things up with my parents and we are a lot more communicative now #so they've opened up that my demand not to receive any gifts was painful to them #so we had an agreement: we write open-hearted letters to each other on christmas.#and they can gift me something if they'd like but no pressure if they don't find anything they feel would be a good gift #bc i myself opened up about the whole ''inaccurate gift'' thing being one of the reasons i dislike receiving stuff #and guess what. christmas comes. they got me a printed card from an artist whose work we saw at a local art thing earlier that year.#that artist does mainly either plants or nice architecture. stuff i love.#they picked the ONE work of hers that doesn't look like that. some reinterpretation of the great wave of kanagawa #a piece which i dislike with a passion for aesthetic reasons #i had promised i'd be honest if their gift missed the mark but tbh i couldn't. it's just an aesthetic thing it's completely begnin.#it's not like they spent lots or tried to pick something that was USEFUL #so i smiled and the picture is hanging with other stuff in my room #and i thanked them and i can't express how genuinely glad i am we have a better relationship #but man i felt my heart break a little under the tree in that moment #idk #i know it's silly but it makes me feel weird. and cold.#broadcasting my misery #vent
