When he stepped out back for a break, Tango looked up the definition of 'muscle memory' on his phone.
The ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that movement.
Frequent repetition. Yeah, that was what he thought. Tango sighed, leaning his head against the brick wall and staring up at the sky. Jimmy had mentioned a brief stint in restaurants previously, and it didn't take long for his muscle memory of kitchen tasks to kick in, but there were other habits that came just a little too easily for Tango's liking.
The way he grinned expectantly after teasing or goading them, and looked confused when they didn't insult him back. How easily 'sorry' fell from his lips over and over for the smallest mistake, even for mistakes that weren't his. The way he laughed after getting flustered and fumbling something was adorable, but the oh my gosh, I'm so stupid! that followed was less so. The way he said I'm an idiot with such levity, said it like it was an immutable fact, didn't sit well with Tango.
All habits that came to him easily, like muscle memory. Like the result of something that had happened over and over and over.
It wasn't the first time he had noticed these little habits, but they stood out more now that there wasn't anyone around who was actively teasing him. Before, it had seemed like an act, a call-and-response game Jimmy played with his oldest friends. Now, seeing the response without the call, it just seemed...
When Skizz said you were great, Jimmy! You absolutely crushed it! after a particularly hectic shift, Jimmy's eyes widened with genuine surprise before a grin spread across his face.
"Really?" he asked, a little hesitance in his voice, like he fully expected Skizz to take it back and tell him no, he was awful.
"Really!" said Skizz, but exchanged a glance with Tango. The compliments came thick and fast after that, from both of them, and Tango loved the way Jimmy absolutely thrived under them. He would do anything to protect that smile, and he knew Skizz would do the same.
"Hey. Jimmy."
Jimmy turned to look at Tango while Skizz locked up the building. "Yeah?"
Tango smiled. "You're amazing."
He could see Jimmy's ears flush even under the dim streetlight. "I am, aren't I?" he said happily.
To anyone else the comment might have come across a little cocky, a little overconfident. But Tango heard the hesitance behind it, the uncertain hope of someone finally beginning to realize their worth.
Skizz laughed. "Look at this guy and his well-deserved confidence!" he teased, ruffling Jimmy's hair. He and Tango exhanged another look, this time one of victory rather than concern. "But yeah, you are, and don't you forget it!"
Jimmy beamed. It didn't matter how their shifts in the restaurant went anymore, thought Tango. Angry customers, burned food, broken dishes; he'd get over all of it, as long as Jimmy was smiling like that at the end of the day.

I absolutely love the fact that you can unicycle hahaha. Would you mind sharing how you got into it?
Went over to my best friend's house one day in 5th grade (she lived next door) and she was trying to unicycle and of course 10-year-old me was like "WOAH that's SO COOL!" and she said "do you wanna try?" and then she told me about a unicycle club her sister's friend's neighbor had started and it was great, they practiced in the school gym and had unicycles you could borrow while you were learning and everything. So for few years I carpooled with my friend to unicycle club almost every Friday, where I learned to unicycle with a small-ish group of unicyclists of vastly different skill levels. Definitely the best possible environment for learning to unicycle. About 3 other kids in our neighborhood joined in too, which meant there was no shortage of unicycles on our street. I was the slowest to pick up on any new unicycling skills (jumps, tricks, stuff like that) and I'm not great at anything fancy on a unicycle BUT. I will say that my speed and maneuverability was the best in the whole club. Unfortunately the woman who ran the club couldn't keep doing it and I haven't found a unicycling group since, but I try to keep up my skills when possible. There was a time when unicycling was a bit of a hyperfixation of mine and I miss the subculture of it. I honestly prefer unicycling to biking, I find it more enjoyable and it makes people smile.
Another fun fact about me, I am technically a certified unicycling instructor and I'm pretty good at teaching it. I occasionally put it on resumes and the like because no one can prove that I'm not a certified unicycling instructor (the organization that I was certified with no longer exists).

Been getting into Thor/Piratesoftware's content the past few days (found him through a super interesting stream with Alok/Healthygamer) and wanted to see if there were any fans of his on Tumblr since he seems to be a huge positive force in the indie game dev community!
Onlyy to see one of the top posts under the Piratesoftware tag is people saying to uninstall his game Heartbound because he decided to stream Hogwarts Legacy 😭 you guys are so unbelievably annoying. Use your brains man.
It was so tiring to watch the storm you guys caused over that fuckin game. As if trying to boycott the game was gonna make any kind of dent in JKR's wallet. As if it was gonna change her, or anyone else's views on trans people.
And then mindlessly wishing harm on people you don't know/don't care to know because you've decided to jump on the bandwagon of "Hogwarts Legacy is an evil to all trans people", trying to rally together to ruin the lives of creators who ever dared to have their own opinions on the matter.
I'll never forget the shit people started over Hasan wanting to stream the game. That man's raised MILLIONS for the causes he supports and you couldn't let him do the same for us? Trans people are being stripped of their rights and you'd give up the opportunity to raise a significant amount of money, just so your streamer doesn't play the stupid Harry Potter game??
It blows my mind to this day.
And then seeing the same bullshit for Thor, like come on. It takes all of two seconds to understand the person he is and the damage you're doing by attempting to take down everything he's built for playing a game you've incorrectly labeled as a harm to trans people.
Use your fucking head. Jesus.
