#who are all working summer jobs

[angel-archivist]

kicking my feet thinking about the argo incident 

#retro.bullshit #Specifically helen and how shes basically ended up as the secondary protagonist #its crazy actually #she basically goes missing season 1 and then comes back but its not her #this sets up the concetp that things are taking people from elysium and replacing them with ALMOST exact #copies which sets up later when the same thing happens to Jupiter #but then her real moment to shine is in 'season 2' where the main plot focuses around the fall out from season 1 at the argo research #facility and Helen readapting to being home afer being stuck ina supernatural realm for months on end #and now havingt to repeat her senior year #while jupiter is grappling with the feeling that his precense is causing more damage to his friends and the people he loves #because the radio show is actively harming people and its gotten worse as a mysterious guest has shown up more frequently #(mysterious guest per season ig apollo was season 1 n now this guy while apollo still calls because despite having betrayed his boss #leadign to their destruction and entrapment in a specific mirror in the research facility #his redemption arc is slow burn throughout season 2 and by season 3 he's finally willing to make amends and try to reconnet with sasha #n also kisses jupiter sooo much #also the like climax happens in the mall that helen works at with a bunch of her friends #who are all working summer jobs #Miki her friend has graduated but is taking a gap year so he'll still be around while helens repeating her senior year #while jun will be in the same grade as her with decker the drrummer from her band #n now like the trusted adult for supernatural stuff defacto is jupiter since he saved her from the mirror realm and brought her back #but they both also have like sibling energy #they bicker a lot #so when people start vanishing at the mall regulars don't show up anymore she starts worrying for he worst that the thing that stole her #away is back in elysium #so obvi she's like jupiter jupiter im sooo worried rn #n hes like: uh oh #i need to write this in a document for my sanity maybe

The generational progression of team dynamics is truly so funny to me.

You have the Justice League and they're all coworkers. They're friendly and polite with each other but they don't really hang out together outside of work. Two of them might transcend the work friend dynamic and buddy up outside of work (i.e Barry and Hal or Ollie and Hal or Bruce and Clark) but you will never see all of them casually hanging out for fun.

Then there's the Titans. These guys are friends. They all have busy lives so they maybe don't see each other as much as they'd like to but they're all deeply bonded with each other. They make a point of planning big get togethers with each other unrelated to work. They know each other's deepest secrets. Their kids consider the other Titans aunts and uncles.

Last but not least there's Young Justice. Young Justice is the definition of unhealthy codependency. They're all best friends and they act like siblings but they might also all be in love with each other? Kon dated Cassie, hit on Cissie, flirted with Bart's clone and had a dream where Bart was in a cheerleading outfit and was with his other love interests and then just everything with Tim. Cassie dated both Tim and Kon, and then there's everything with Cissie. Bart admitted that Cassie made him 'like girls' (?), took Cissie to a dance, and is extremely close with Tim and Kon to the point where it could just be unhealthy codependency but it might be something more. Honestly this entire group is so intermixed and codependent it's insane. They go from 'i love you so much you are my best friend' to 'i wanna make out with you' so fast and with barely any breathing room. They are constantly with each other and hang out at least once a week. They cannot exist separately.

#the Justice League is so funny to me because theres hal and barry who are actually friends and hang out together #and like ollie and hal #but the rest of them probably don't even know what each others favorite food is #they are there to do a job not to make friends #they are nice and polite because it is good for the work environment #then the Titans are just a realistic protrayal of friends #they have lives outside of each other and try to meet up frequently but sometimes life gets in the way #but they're still close and they still love each other #they're like high school friends who all moved away for university and see each other on summer break #then theres YJ who are like trauma bonded and cling to each other and are feral animals when separated #like seriously its unhealthy #its a fantastic dynamic to read and it makes sense for them but do not do this irl it is not a good actual dynamic #dc #dc comics #Titans #teen titans #justice league #young justice #young just us

one of my dreams as a bright-eyed freshie noob nsfw tumblr user was to one day have my own place with tons of extra rooms and to have partners and kink friends rotating in an out of the house like all the old big kink creators used to on here, making content and gif sets with my friends and enjoying our sexuality together

#unimportant thoughts #doable still? maybe one day #I don’t know ! #used to dream about it a lot #there used to be a big (since cancelled) creator that did a lot of stuff like that #creators would come and stay in his house for month(s) long vacations in between jobs and school #like could you imagine? #going and living with a creator you love for a summer? #getting to make content together snd have fun with no stress or pressure? #I don’t know maybe im alone in this! #BUT #I don’t know itd be nice! #i love the idea of being a Home #maybe not peoples permanent home #i csnt imagine being a lot of peoples healthy long time permanent partner lol #but yk its enough to be Somebody in peoples lives yk? #im happy to be someone who was right for you for a little while #be it a few months or a summer or a year or a few years #im happy with that #i want to end it on a high note and keep going as friends after #i want to still have occasional flings and catch up on each orhers lives all the time #i dont think i can be everyones forever #and itd be greedy to think i could be ! #but i want to be someone people look back on fondly #that people say ‘he was a good influence in my life. i’m happy I was with him. he was the right person for me in a lot of ways’ #i want to be someone people are proud of havin been involved with #i want those tumblr gifsets and relationship maps and talking about how x is moving out to go to grad school soon but we still love each #other and im proud of them for moving to the next stage in life #i want to be a revolving door thats always open! #but it only works if other people want it too! and if those people DO actually value me like tjat

Man this is so random but this theory is stuck in my head and I wanna see how other people feel about it because I don't see people talk about it a lot (I have no clue if the link will go through properly since I've never put a link in a ask box)

https://www.tumblr.com/art-w0rm/667910993425350656/theory-time

Oh god not this theory again. I really truly try not to be mean to people for no good reason on this blog, but this theory is literally one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't talk about this theory because to me it's like the walten files theory equivalent of that tubby custard mechanically separated chicken post.

Most of the time I genuinely don't even consider it worthy of my time, because it's nonsense, but this is a very nicely worded ask, and I really don't mean to dedicate any of the vitriol I hold towards this theory to You, poor anonymous person, so I will deconstruct it. I will go through the theory point-by-point and deconstruct why I disagree with it.

First up, this:

Showbear is not a character in The Walten Files anymore. Showbear was fully retconned and is never going to appear in the series again. He was effectively just a cameo of ThunderingStatic's (one of Martin's friends) OC, but when The Walten Files blew up and people started assuming Showbear was Martin's character, Static decided to withdraw his character from the series and focus putting him in other projects.

Martin talked about this on Twitter forever ago, but I wouldn't be able to find that tweet now. But here's a bit from the interview he did with KnowYourMeme back in 2021 where he talks about it:

Now this:

This is just stupid to me? Like a complete logical incongruity? I barely even know how describe what is dumb about this because I can't even fathom how anyone draws this conclusion from this information. How is it strange for a man to say 'if my wife isn't home by the time she said she was going to be, let me know, in case something happened.'????? Why would Rosemary be out cheating on her husband with her fucking daughter with her??? If Rosemary was cheating on her husband why would her whole life collapse when he went missing? If Rosemary was cheating on her husband why would she show up at the restaurant every day after he disappeared asking if anyone had seen him and hoping to find him alive??? Why would she make paintings of herself and him together after he disappeared????? What the fuck are you talking about?

Ok now this:

Whatever. This is maybe the most coherent part of the theory, to me. I definitely agree that Sha evokes a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' sort of aesthetic, but I do remember Martin saying something in a Twitter Q&A at one point about how that wasn't actually intentional, and that Bon was the character he actually meant to seem unusually predatory. I looked for a while and couldn't find a screenshot of that, but I did find this one where he says the thing about Bon:

So whatever. take that with a grain of salt.

I don't even know what to say. here. Whatever. sure she was rolling in the hay

yeah Rosemary is asking if she's still beautiful because she cheated on her husband and not because she was chopped up and stuffed inside a big animatronic sheep. I think this is correct and is the True Deep Lore.of the walten files. I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with the recurring motif of the double-meaning behind the word Beautiful either.

I don't know why it's weird that the lost lingering spirit of a mother would be calling out to her only living child. I Don't know why that needs additional explanation involving this batshit infidelity conspiracy theory.

Sha's chest is also ripped out

So is Banny's, honestly? Just a little less?

ok now this:

I guess I can't disprove this except that I think this is dumb. I think this is a really incredibly stupid logical leap to make. Y'know I really meant to go into this levelheadedly and very calmly go through every point and talk about why I think it's Decisively Disagreeable or whatever but I can't. I really can't. I just cannot keep my patience with this sort of thing.

You'd think if there was an infidelity aspect here it would've been lampshaded in some respect, at all, in the old /sophiewalten findjackwalten page text. Where it's literally Sophie talking to Jenny about what she remembers about her family.

Especially if the idea is that Sophie is meant to have been there. You'd think something like that would have come up here. Not 'she was nice and a good mom until my dad disappeared and her mental health started getting worse'

#ask #this theory always feels like someone's pulling a prank on me. like they're trying to see how much stupid bullshit they can say convincingl #before i notice and get mad #i'm sorry i couldn't keep it together for you anon I really dont mean to make anyone feel like an idiot #i just really don't have the patience for something like this today I think. #we haven't seen a lot of rosemary's characterization in the walten files yet #but everything we HAVE seen externally characterizes her as loving and compassionate but also sharply protective of the people she loves #and also so very deeply incredibly in love with her husband #and there's actually a decent bit of positioning her and jack as equals in their relationship which isn't exactly usual for the time #yknow. she has her own car and she has a job (even if its working for her husband's company.) #she's headstrong and ferociously talented and her husband is very supportive of her and of her artistic endeavors #yknow. the tragedy of jack and rose isn't that their relationship was bad #it's that their relationship was great and it was cut short over factors outside of their control #and now it lingers through the hallways of abandoned buildings as a broken facsimile of itself #there was a wonderful family full of people who loved each other intensely and had their whole lives still ahead of them #and it took one summer for all of it to be gone

STOLEN from an idea the lovely @g-eetings had with the v3 kids all getting together and healing on jabberwock after v3

#eggs can art #danganronpa #shuichi saihara #kaede akamatsu #kokichi ouma #rantaro amami #nagito komaeda #chiaki nanami #maki harukawa #Their all there for the summer (no nwp this time this is the Real jabberwock) #their goal is to reconnect with their friends and patch together friendships strained by V3 (or work on new friendships born inside there) #Nanami and Komaeda (resident unemployed duo tm) are there to chaperone the kiddos alongside Usami :) #They basically have all the islands to themselves and their job is to Bond and Heal tm #the kids who live there are obviously staying at there homes and some of the kiddos are staying at the hotel while others are bunking with #friends (Miu is staying with Kiibo and Kaz; Shuichi is staying with Kokichi and Hajime; Tenko and Angie are staying with Himiko and Sondam #we also have Mahiru slowly adopting Maki because this has GROWN ON ME SO SO BAD) #also let is be known that the factory on the 5th island has been replaced with a silly lil arcade (w/ a roller rink) #nanami komaeda and usami make the kiddos breakfast everyday at the restaurant because sometimes after a killing game one of the most #comforting parts of your day is heading to breakfast at 7:30 am and knowing you dont have to worry because all your friends WILL be there #(except that one time Kaito caught a cold but it lasted like a day dw he's fine he was just a lil sick mixed w/ jetlag)

Re-watching Dead Man’s Party and Snyder telling Buffy that someone with her “talents and abilities” should work at Hot Dog on a Stick and saying she’d look cute in the little hat, and now knowing that in s6 she works at Doublemeat Palace, essentially the same thing, where she has to wear a stupid little hat, because of how limited her life is due to the responsibilities she has because of her “talents and abilities”. Wow. Wow wow wow. I am clinically unwell about this. I’m gonna gnaw through a brick.

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #Buffy summers #btvs meta #like imagining a whole new layer where she must have felt like she really was everyone’s worst assumptions about het #that the messaging she’d been getting all through high school that she was never gonna amount to anything had been right the whole time #that’s she’s proven them all right by being a flunkie drop out working a dead end job #and ofc none of that is true but that’s not how she feels at the time bc her mindset is just so… she’s struggling #and in the conversation with Snyder how her mom is there to defend her and stand up for her #and how her mom pushes back against the idea that she’s a delinquent who doesn’t deserve a chance #but when she’s living out what Snyder foreshadowed her mom isn’t there anymore #and same with giles who’d defended buffy against her moms worst assumptions about her before Joyce even knew she was the slayer #and he’s not there anymore either so she’s just left to believe all these awful things #WOW!!!! #wow. #dead man’s party #buffy season 3 episode 2 #buffy season 6

[imjustexistingtbh]

woo officially have a job again :’) 👍 <- dying inside.

#i just want to crochet and watch doctor who all day long every single day #to be fair though the job isn’t bad. i like the people. it’s familiar (worked there last summer) and it pays well #but. free time 😔😔 #just jupiter

[philippagordon]

hello everyone, I hope you're all doing great! just passing by to say i'm officially going to be a librarian :) follow your dreams kids

#took me a while but i got there! all on my own #quit my masters bc i had health issues and had an existential crisis moved out of my parents' to live with my sister #i didn't know what to do so i applied to volunteer in a retirement home i was paid a little and it literally saved my life #i found meaning and purpose again met incredible people and i still go there every sunday :) #but most importantly i met the director of the town's museum who recommended me to the library for a summer job #i got it and i loved it just like i imagined one of the librarian was retiring and she told me i should apply to replace her #so i did and after months of not knowing for sure if they would hire me i finally got the email! i'm starting in February #in the meantime i worked at a bookshop in paris which was also a cool experience #but i can't wait to start for real at the library #also did i mention the town i moved in (and where the library is ) is the town of my dreams? #it's calm there's a river and small shops and i also got an apartment with a balcony #2 years ago i thought my life was over i didn't think i would ever make it out #so if i can give a little hope to someone things do get better #i'd love to post again on this blog btw but i keep saying that and never do it 😭

[moonlit-imagines]

??? i think my main job fired me ???

#delete later #there was drama in the work gc earlier bc someone who happened to be a coworker’s son quit and i liked a message #about the mother coworker thanking someone for being kind to him #and then the owner sent a near illegible text about keeping the gc positive #and then suddenly i am removed from the gc by the manager and a new employee is added #i am currently in a 3 week contract w a temp job that COULD be permanent but me and the owner were at an understanding that i would contact #him if/when i was available again within 3 weeks #theres a girl who hasn’t worked all summer who is still in the gc and actually sent messages about the guy that quit and they did not remove #her…..is me liking a kind/meaningful message grounds for termination?????

[theflyingfeeling]

yes it's just me whining about the same thing for the billionth time, pls just scroll past nothing new to see here 👋

#i just want to enjoy the summer but i feel like i don't deserve to if i'm not constantly trying to become employed again 😭 #''apply for jobs then? problem solved'' uh-huh yes but!! i also hate applying for jobs #job seeking can be so incredibly humiliating #first i have to send them a letter BEGGING to be invited to an interview #and then i have to try and convince them that i am actually competent and good at my job even though you have my cv right there #and then afterwards they call me to tell me they found someone who they liked better than me #(or rather someone who was more competent than me judging by their work history etc.) #it's like ''yes we are hiring but not YOU specifically lol'' #like. at school if you take a test you get the grade you deserve based on how you did in the exam. #it's something you can actually directly affect yourself #but if someone who's applying for the same job with me has more work experience or whatever they will get hired over me no matter what i do #(at least that's how it usually works on my field) #in which case it doesn't matter if i do well in the interview or nah. bc the other person was always going to be picked for the job anyway #and yes one could say i can then be satisfied if i did my best but it's little consolation when i'm still unemployed!! #and so every time i apply for a job and get rejected it feels like a personal failure #and to avoid that feeling of failure i want to avoid applying for jobs altogether #so yeah. being active in job seeking is more likely to relieve me from this misery but job seeking is ALSO misery. so 🤷‍♀️ #that on top of the fact i don't even _want_ to apply for all the open positions on my field #but i feel obliged to because it's what i have a degree on. and when i'm unemployed i don't have the luxury to choose which ones i apply fo #i can't afford to be picky #I DON'T DREAM OF LABOUR I JUST NEED MONEY TO LIVE BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO DO JUST ANY JOB! I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THAT! #i don't want to come home crying from work every day because i hate every single aspect of my life INCLUDING my job 😭 #when this semester i actually HAD a job i didn't mind waking up to every morning 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #it's not fair it's not fair it's not fair #to conclude i don't deserve to enjoy myself in the summer because i'm not doing enough to fix my unemployement situation #(just like i don't deserve to feel sad about being lonely because i don't work hard enough to maintain deep friendships #but that's a crisis for another day! stay tuned ✌️)

#oh lads. its not looking good for my genomics exam on Thursday. its all fucked #i dunno. its just been a weird day. bc one of my lab mates is getting ready to go to the astr0biology science conference #and its just so wild how i got here. into the perfect position. i have a great advisor. a great phd project. a committee member who is super #integrated with n4sa astr0biology projects. and so many of the instructors are amazing. my genomics prof is terrifyingly smart #so is my advisor and his wife. and the program is great. ecology and Evolution. its perfect. its all perfect #and yet. and yet. it just feels like its all falling apart. ive lost that compulsive thing thats always set in my chest #and now all i want to do is lay on the floor and cry and sleep and not do anything. why am i so tired? #its just so frustrating. and im sure ive got the most wretched vibes bc im constantly like 1 comment away from bursting into tears #like 2 weeks and its done. then im off to find a summer job. and find a long term job. and consider throwing away everything ive ever worked #toward. just let it all burn. im so tired. and i dont get to see my therapist until Monday. thats gonna b fun #hi. hello. since last i saw you my life has crumbled into pieces. ugh. i just dont wanna fail this genomics exam but it looks like that's #where we're headed. maybe i should have just dipped out of these last 3 weeks. but no. i didnt want to leave the lady i ta for 100 lab #reports to unexpectedly have to grade 4 days before grades are due. ugh. itll b fine. i mean it wont but whatever #unrelated

feeling Mentally Strong this afternoon so going to brave watching/giffing some of last night's game

#also a little personal update as I've told loads of you about this/moaned about it in tags for a while and you've all been so supportive #v relieved to say after 3 (hellish) years of prep mr sp passed his week long assessment last week and starts his new job soon #very exciting for him career wise. and me sanity wise because even though we still need to move house this summer we don't need to relocate #and because we'll be Considerably Less Poor!!! #only downside is he has to go away for 6 weeks straight may-june to train which is far more time away than usual and I may go mad #esp if we don't make the you know whats and I have no hockey to keep me entertained #but very good news overall and thanks to my lovely friends & mutuals here who have been extremely supportive in my time of monster stress #hilariously he's had to go back to work this weekend even earlier than usual as penance for leaving so it's hockey afternoon for me :)

[an-assortment-of-forks]

there are doctors there are hospitals there are specialists there is medicine there are systems in place so people do not have to suffer and be tortured under their own chronic pain daily and yet. they're all fucking inaccessible to the people who need it most!!! to what I would argue is most disabled people!! I'm so fucking done with the medical system.

#today is an absolutely wretched pain day that makes me want to not be here anymore but guess what! #wasted a whole year trying to convince my doctors I was in significant and disableing pain daily and the best they could do #is tell me to go to PT and to wait 6 months and tell them if it gets better #to prescribe some shit like gabapentin or otc pain meds and write me off #tell me they'll get new X-rays to see if it got worse by the summer #disability exists!! specialists exist! good doctors fucking exist!! somewhere!!! I'm sure!! #but here I sit. in excruciating amounts of pain unable to convince any fucking doctors of anything #and that year I spent pushing myself to the limit is wasted bc at the very end of it all only one guy listened to me #and he said no one in their giant ass facility could diagnose me #so I'm back to square one bc I got a new job which means new insurance and new doctors to try and convince again #I just want to be on disability so i can want to be alive again #I'm so frustrated and in pain constantly #what are people like me who have to work 40hrs to afford to live but don't have any family to rely on supposed to do?? #just die? am i supposed to continue to work until im too disabled to move and be profitable unless i get lucky? #bc some fucking doctor finally decides to actually listen??? #ive tried ALL THE DAMN TRICKS TOO. telling them a friend has it and thats how i found out. that my previous doctor was looking into it #etc etc #I'm SO done living like this i am exhausted. #and to know that i COULD BE HELPED. RIGHT NOW. is the worst fucking part #these systems are in place so people like me dont have to fucking suffer. #but i cant even do anything about it bc i have a cat.

in terms of how pervasive the fanon perception of tim drake as this neglected/borderline abused child of the horrific drake parents who are the worst human beings to ever live, i think it largely comes from the fact that i would bet money that 90% of the people perpetuating it just didn't have two parents who both worked.

#personal #the other ten percent comes from people trying to make him marginally interesting by pretending he's suffered more than jesus #(he hasn't he isn't even the character who's suffered most or second most in his own family and it also doesn't work) #(cuz he's still boring) #but like every time people bring up 'oh the drakes went on TRIPS for their JOBS how AWFUL' i give the most intense side eye #there was a period from when i was around 8 to 13 where my dad went on VERY long business trips for his work #like months long business trips #because again both my parents worked but he earned more money #or the fact that i spent a lot of summers with my sister and babysitters before my mom went into university teaching #because neither of them had the free time because they were WORKING #like i think these people just aren't used to having both mom and dad have jobs they need to do #plus the bit where they go hard on jack drake in particular makes me laugh because 'oh he stopped tim from being robin' yeah no shit! #if i found out my kid was robin i'd stop him! #a) unlike his predecessors or immediate successors tim has no internal drive that necessitates robin in his life #b) the last one very famously died! on the job! violently! and it turned batman into a crazy person! #as a parent jack drake is perfectly within his rights to not want his kid to be in very real and present danger #that's not him being abusive that's him being very normal #also i don't even get it because beyond people not understanding the concept of 'parents with jobs' #have some of you guys ever even read tim-centric pre-52 comics? #he doesn't mind his parents' work at all and he likes that his house has a bunch of cool artifacts and the way it's lowkey a museum #just make an oc at this point my god because it makes the tags and ao3 a fucking nightmare honestly

long time no see :)

#hi! i am not dead!! #i worked at a camp over the summer so i had neither the free time nor the cell service to be on here #i feel like its been ages and no one on here remembers or cares who i am. but if you do. hi! how have you been!! <3 #i am doing better. i am in this very exact moment not sad. not in the way i was before. #i am sitting under a tree by the ocean listening to transatlanticism and i am doing okay. #i have friends now. i Might have a full time job soon (wish me luck please) which if i get i will be able to move out by the end of the year #yeah. thats about it. i am more human now i think. i might actually get out of here. thats all. :) #how have you all been? <3
