#i never did bargaining

[aahanna]

"Haven't you noticed that we often bargain with poor people, like street vendors and auto drivers, but rarely negotiate prices with wealthy individuals or businesses that make significant profits every year? It's time to change this system and reconsider our approach to bargaining and fair pricing."

Not gonna lie, I'm super excited about the upcoming One Piece live action series! It's out Aug 31 on Netflix. I actually think it's gonna be good! 🤞🤞🤞

#reminder that the strike has NOT called for a boycott from viewers! #we want to show that we want more of this show and that Netflix has to pay their writers properly if they want to keep profiting from it #don't forget: the continuation of a popular show is a bargaining chip for the writers #one piece #one piece live action #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #nami #usopp #sanji #when I first heard about the LA years ago I thought they were crazy #manga live actions are never good and OP is basically unfilmable #but when the strawhat cast was revealed I sat up straight and started paying attention #they were all spot on! absolutely unheard of in a live action! #and everything I've seen and heard about it since has just seemed so promising #early reviews are starting to come out and they're all positive #guys I think they did it #I think... Netflix actually made a good live action adaptation?? #and of OP of all thing?!?! #(I won't be able to watch it until Sunday though so I'm gonna have to stay off the internet completely to avoid spoilers! TAT)

Sometimes I remember that Asra told us he loved us in the prologue and we immediately pass out so he has to reboot us so we don't go comatose and I Scream because can you imagine loving someone so much and being their caretaker and you sold half your heart for them and you just have to sit idly by with your feelings?? I'd go BALLISTIC!! And you could just not choose him??? Wild!!

#asras route shouldve had so much angst #it just shouldve been more than what it was #i wanna talk about that Asra #i wanna talk about how he was before and how unhinged he was when he had to bargain half his heart #and how he feels bottling everything up inside #and you could date lucio?? his mortal enemy??? and he didnt hate you!! #or julian?? his ex??? #the possibilties were so endless for angst in all the routes and we got nothing #he dug through ash and bone for us #to find us!! #and did a ritual FOR US #i will never stop screaming #i cant choose anybody over him im sorry i am intertwined with this man #asra my beloved #the arcana #asra #asra alnazar #asra the arcana #my posts

I will not stay silenced any longer. I really cannot relate to the badass girlboss Yomi truthers crowd. I'm sorry but constantly being so obsessed with proving your prowess and supposed superiority via [gestures at every single time he appeared in the game only to act like an insecure manchild who has to continuously reassert his authority he feels entitled to with continuos self-praise, lashing out with petty insults, violence or even pettier wackier violence] are not the acts of someone who is at all secure and confident in their abilities and themself,

#''ok but what if [x character] was truly THAT confident and cool and not overcompensating for anything'' you are so boring. begone. #Yomi to me reads like a very miserable man (which tends to be a side effect of being a deeply unpleasant person) #control is a comfort. power is security. make people do anything and punish everyone who makes you feel bad #powerful people can take anything they want from you. he KNOWS that #now he has that power. he's the director of the peacekeepers the quite literal top dog of kanai ward. the one whom the world revolves aroun #now he's the one who bargains and makes others grovel. people flock to him and he can make them do anything he wants them to do #now no one can make him scared or powerless ever again. And that is STILL not enough and will probably never be. #god. i want to wring him like a wet dishrag and smack him on the counter so he makes that PLAP sound. #anyway...... like and subcribe #mine #rain code #yomi hellsmile #oh wait one more thing - not vaguing anybody here actually nobody here. not talking about anybody in particular #i feel like im gonna need to say this. you know. gut feelings and the like. #girl god damn it the tags are longer than the post itself again. #The ''I DID proofread this but like only once and not that patiently'' tag

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..... WE GOTTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so SO much to everyone who commissioned (read: enabled) me!!

Now that I've reached my goal of +10ing my boy, and since my time is (unfortunately) still quite limited due to work, I'm going to be closing comms tomorrow! So, if you have an idea and haven't decided if you want to commit or not yet, now's your last chance for the time being! ;) And to all those who have already paid, I know I do still have quite a few to get through- I was a FOOL to think I could just bang these out in 24 hours, lol, but please rest assured they will be coming within the next few days!! I'll get through them slowly but surely. Admittedly I did take a break to draw this guy because I was so pleased to get him, but I'll get right back on the horse tomorrow lol. Thank you so much again everyone!! ^O^

Ferdinand went to a tea party and came back Different

#if you're wondering why I drew him with gullveig's serpents its bc i immediately fed my free gullveig to him xD flare sparrow + oath 4 yum #and then gave him her accessory for forging bonds so i can use him to grind bonus affection & sp lmaooooo #and while i wish they'd given us gullveig/seidr's floatie rocks as an accessory i love the broken halo-y look of the one they did. its neat #anyway i just love the idea that when you inherit a skill to a hero they gain a little bit of the sacrificed units traits. :) #Oops! Gained a little more than you bargained for there! Everything good comes at a cost- but the Order doesn't tell you until its too late #It's absolutely eating at him btw. he is now Experiencing Visions. a human's mind is not meant to interpret gullveig's cyclical nature #and i think its difficult for him to tell the present/what once was apart from what has yet to be/never was. #like watching two movies at once on the same screen! :) + hc that he gets the little floatie crystals when he's having strong visions #also lmao ferdie now sets EVERYTHING on fire. flame emperor who? #you can tell he's been somewhere bc he leaves singed footprints behind if he's not careful :) #GOD ANYWAY IM SORRY LOL too much random info. i'm done i promise. thank you so so much again if you supported me!!! <3 #i hope you have a fantastic rest of your day/evening!!! & keep an eye out if you're still waiting on art :)

i can't believe I just watched two men (metaphysical beings?) skate around their obvious love for one another for twelve hours only for them to ask each other out, kiss, and break up within five minutes and cut to credits?!? i am physically unwell. neil gaiman you better sleep with one eye open bc i'm COMING FOR YOU.

#good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #neil gaiman #I WAS SO CONFIDENT #my father didnt believe it could be but i looked him right on in the eyes and said father #i know these things. i see the subtext that your feeble mind is missing. those two absolutely want to get down with it #no way theyre just baiting us. neil would NEVER right?? #i forced that man to wager an entire dollar that they would end up together. #AND THEN I WATCHED WHATEVER THE HELL THAT WAS WTF I HATE EVERYTHING #I BRACED MYSELF FOR QUEERBAIT NOT QUEERHEARTBREAK #how tf did i miss tumblr posting ab this and not ineffable bureaucracy??? #did the site not go down out of mourning?? #feels like im going through all five stages i cannot do this right now #at this point i might have to resort to watching red white and royal blue and i just know its going to be as bad as the book #sobbing and bargaining and screaming rn ahhhhhhhhhh no no no

[widevibratobitch]

so i am singing that vitellia in the end... but at what fucking cost.

'you gotta sing this softer'

'what'

'this is mozart'

'this is vitellia'

'this is mozart'

'im singing about how much i hate this mf and want him dead before the end of the day'

'this is mozart'

'i wanna murder a guy'

'this is mozart'

'...'

'softer. gentle. mozart'

'...ok'

#they're killing me here #i already bargained for ONE (1) note in chest (thank you so so much that i am ALLOWED to sing an A3 in chest voice <333) and now THIS #THIS is why people hate mozart. fuck you. #i recorded that rehearsal and the first version sounds SO MUCH BETTER. after i did what she asked me to do its just. so fucking boring. #i hate it here #i love this duet so much but frfr im not sure i wanna do it if i have to do it on their terms. #also like sorry to be a bitch but you're a pianist girl. just stick to your stuff and let me take care of mine. #just because you're playing this like you're constipated because tHiS iS mOzArT doesnt mean the rest of us dont care either. #its possible i never will get the chance to sing the entire vitellia so i want to do justice. as much as im able. to this one chance i get #it took me A Long While to deal with the fact that i wont be able to bark that 'indegno' and 'regno' like i always envisioned. #but like. ok. whatever. i can still make it Entertaining. THIS however. no. no fucking way. #and its not even about me being a big-headed know-it-all who thinks she's better than everyone because. lol and lmao clearly im Not #but this is about having a fucking SOUL. its about actually taking the libretto into consideration too. its about trying to figure out #WHY mozart wrote it the way he did. like sorry but this is another fiordiligi case where its CLEAR that the amplitudes the crazy jumps #are there FOR A REASON. the reason is HE WANTED A CONTRAST. some fucking EMOTION. he sure as hell didnt want it to be Soft And Gentle. #i know it because i talked to him and he told me im right about everything as always and you can eat shit girl bye #grrrrrrrr im so angry #i knos i sound so arrogant here but please. please i just want to make this music fun and enjoyable. i just dont want it to be boring #please understand my vision im begging you

[dying-suffering-french-stalkers]

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again

#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like) #thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?” #he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there #now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about #i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now? #well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes) #is about to end; is about to be gone forever. #sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one #(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!) #but like. what the hell does he care at this point #dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL. #we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended #but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out #and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus #i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia) #but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest) #he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit #maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should. #and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone #maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do. #he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it #what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant? #“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate. #and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't #stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too? #well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can?? #guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years. #good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long. #dickson #xenoblade

[bespectacledbun]

also I watched TLM 2023 while on my flight back from singapore and the entire time during #That library scene where Eric is explaining about the different countries all I could think about was how THAT was the kind of Silvio that deserved the spotlight in his main route

#the silvio I knew and was interested in was a man who was so obviously and deeply devoted to his kingdom and people and brother #the silvio I know is one that is in love with the sea— the one place he is free from the restrictions of his life #free from the burden of his father’s expectations and disappointment #the silvio i know forms endless trade bargains and goes exploring with the merchant ships because he LIKES seeing all these different #kingdoms and their people and expanding benitoite’s connections. he so obviously wants to see his own country thrive and his people happy #the silvio we actually get in silvio’s route is a selfish miserable arrogant prick who never changes from beginning to end #like the absolute worst version of his character possible #i’ll die on this hill silvio’s route did him so dirty cybird needs to put out an apology video with tears for his character assassination #rant.txt

#kit speaks #never been through the five stages of grief as hard as i have this year over my friendship like even did them in order #did denial - tried to reach out even when it was her responsibility to respond #then anger - i was so pissed at her that i spent weeks thinking of every mildly shitty thing she'd said/done in 10 years of knowing her #then bargaining - oh well maybe if she apologizes by the holidays it'll all be good #i've been depressed about it for the last month so i'm hoping we're turning the corner to acceptance fkdsfjllsjk #like i feel i'm almost there #blah i'm so sorry y'all must be so sick of hearing about this god knows i am #uhhh anyway watch the midnight club it's really good even though road to nowhere did trigger me a bit lol

Everyone's acting like nothing happened

#i know this is how it always goes when someone dies #but this time i actually care. this time it matters to me that it doesnt matter to everyone else #i dont know. im not mad or anything really #its just so surreal #like nothing matters and maybe it never has #im pretty sure thats not true #but still. i cant help feeling it #i think i know why people believe in afterlifes now. you kinda want to convince yourself of anything #anything just to bargain with your acceptance. to get your mind to tell you youll see them again someday #but i know that i wont. the time i have here is all that i have #and im wasting it and its cruel and i dont know why #i dont know why it hurts to be awake and it hurts to be asleep #it hurts to face reality and it hurts to be disillusioned #im so tired of running from the unfairness of everything as if its not going to follow me around everywhere i go forever #i cant shake that feeling that im going to die one day and no one can stop it and no one can make it matter #i used to look forward to dying. to that eternal rest where I'm never tired or concerned with anything again #but i dont want to leave this world behind #its so cruel and unfair and painful and exhausting. but i want to be here. i want to witness it so desperately and idk why #maybe just for the sake of it. maybe just so i can say that i did #i used to believe in heaven and hell though i was always confused on what the difference is between the two #now i know the truth. it never mattered. its all always been a game to comfort the living #and it didn't comfort me so i discarded those ideas. but now i dont know what will comfort me #maybe nothing will. maybe ill live fearful and in pain for the rest of my life #maybe ill keep waking up tired and falling into restless sleeps until the day my body fails me for the last time #my only comfort is that i dont know #i gotta wait and find out #but boy am i impatient

[devilsskettle]

current obsession with stories about power dynamics in interpersonal relationships and the kinds of tactics and leverage people use to navigate them

#a lot of actors and writers will tell you anyway that any scene fundamentally is about two people trying to get what they want #and like there are no universals but i think that’s frequently true #which means that’s true of a lot of interpersonal interactions too #sometimes that want is ‘i want this person to like me’ or ‘i want to help’ etc #or ��i am asserting my personal autonomy so you don’t think you have unmitigated control over me’ #but sometimes it’s ‘i want this person to feel bad’ ‘i want their world to revolve around me’ ‘i want them to do what i want how i want #without the ability to say no’ ‘i am going to back them into a corner so they can never react to anything bad i do to them’ #but it’s like what are our bargaining tools in interacting with other people. what are our assurances that someone can’t do us harm #anyway #we need to talk about kevin breaking bad the patient you we have always lived in the castle #real people telling me about their real experiences with exes who leveraged everything they said or did against them #my own life experiences and the lack of agency i feel in my own life #uhhhh saw. gone girl #hannibal of course #etc

i am so painfully american in so many ways that I never even realized,,, like the Pain. Today I went out with my friends mom who doesn’t speak any english and oh my god was I a deer in the headlights all day. I feel soooo bad, also like she refused to let me pay for anything and gave me sooo much food and drove me around all day. I really don’t know how to thank her enough. I tried to give her a gift and she returned it to me without me even noticing... oh my god. ms. huang.. rlly.... TT thank u also I’m so sorry i’m so painfully timid and awkward

#i've never eaten like.. so many kinds of meat bc like.. yk.. americans only really like the "desireable' parts of the meat. so yea.. also i #have like a fear of swallowing bones.. long story. if u were here u were here for it. if u dont know .. its a Story. but yea so i was like. #this is... a painfully awkward meal. also i dropped my chopsticks TWICEEEEE.. pain. also I've never had shirmp with the head on so she #put one on my plate and i was like... uh.... i dont know how to eat this but I just looked out how the ppl around me did it so i got used t #it.. kinda.... god yea. and then she really kept giving me food but I have a small appetite due to the aforementioned fear of bones thing #it was a spell of disordered eating in hs. left me with a damaged throat and a reduced appetite. not body image related but trauma related #etc. etc.. so yea. i felt so bad. I was so full. she bought me so much. im sooo sorry.... but good news is i wont need to buy food at all #tmrw... and then sometimes she'd ask me a question and I'd legit have no clue how to respond. I;m so used to speaking multiple languages #with my classmates and my roommates so if i ever forget smth i can just use a diferrent language to explain and its.. so much harder to #speak only one language than i thought and hhhhh. also sidenote i COMPLETELY understand why my friend is the way she is... like yea no she #IS her mothers daughter hundred percent.... forceful. kind. not afriad to bargain. overall big appetite for life and yea no.. it makes sooo #much sense... i understand it ALL now...also her little brother is so rude.... god i don't like him. i see why she doesn't like him #like id never blame someone for hating their family but yea no i get it #hhhh so yea.. it was rlly fun but also.. a lot. super super grateful tho. #🐌.txt #also i am so tired.. what not getting enough sleep for a week will do to a mf

if i was shiv roy my anger would be biblical

#she’s terrible too but like #jesus fucking christ. can u imagine your whole life youve been raised to think ur lesser cause of ur gender ur fathers both consistently #underestimated you and excluded you due to your gender (and also his general manipulativeness) while in a way being his ‘favourite child’ #and the most like him. and you only have brothers and you have to be soooo careful that everyone just doesn’t see u as the crazy woman. and #your dad FINALLY lets u in on the company but obviously it’s just another bargaining tactic and he doesn’t really and your brothers still #leave you out of everything. then he dies and you’re the one he SAID he actualtl WANTED as ceo to your face but for some reason kendall and #roman get to be joint ceo and promise promise promise they’ll let you in on it all but OBVIOUSLY they don’t and they try and screw the deal #you’ve been trying so hard to get without telling you #so yeah you get a little angry and you work with the guy they were screwing over and go behind their back with him. sure i would too. and #your brother wants to elect a fascist who’d probably make it illegal for you to abort that baby you’re pregnant with #(not that you seem to want to and not that you couldn’t anyway even if it was illegal you’re rich; but the point stands) #and your other brother is ‘morally against it’ but still goes along with it all #and ur just in a room and everyone around you is a white guy who will never really be affected by these policies that the president theyre #putting in power is going to enact that are going to kill people #and no one at all will listen to you especially not when they find out you ‘betrayed’ them EVEN THOUGH TBEY DID IT FIRST. and you’re #literally just a hysterical woman to them and you can see it happening and you’re like the most powerful person in the world but you can’t #seem to.. DO anything? #ANYWWY. jesus normally i love yelling at shiv. but jesus fucking christ #i can’t even begin to describe how angry i would be #i felt so angry on her behalf #oliver talks #succession
