#about drama that didn't need to happen

[brandoncarlo]

so there was this big blowup at my work on friday where two of my coworkers tried to undermine me and went to my manager with half truths to make me look bad. I explained what was going on from my perspective and because one of my coworkers has a history of lying to get me in trouble and the other manager actually there corroborated what was going on plus the cameras, my manager got extremely angry with my other two coworkers. I pretty much blew up, for me at least, and ranted to my manager about everything that happened (they were shit talking me and saying how i don't do work loud enough for me to hear it, on the back of my 3rd week in a row clocking in the most overtime besides the two managers, which included covering their shifts because they each call out regularly). So my manager is now saying she's going to bring both of them in and talk to them with the big boss. And while every discussion I've had with my manager has left me feeling vindicated and I know everything I said was the truth at least from my perspective. I'm like gaslighting myself and questioning my own reality (how do you know you're not lying, what if you're just trying to make yourself look good), on top of stressing about whether or not they could end up getting me in trouble by saying i did something wrong (and if i did do i remember doing it, or will it be a lie, or how will i know).

anyway the entire thing really stressed me out. i do not handle anger well and left work on friday shaking. i had to work with one of them on saturday and was blown away that she kept pretending to be nice to me, when she must have known that I could hear everything they were saying. I also had to work with another coworker who I didn't hear say anything, but knowing him he's on their side and he gave me the cold shoulder even tho he's one of the friendliest people i work with and makes sure to say hi and bye to everyone. which is FINE because i was giving him the cold shoulder too but petty me wanted to be the one to ignore him first.

point is this fucking sucks cause i love my job but i won't let people walk all over me. i am just stressed for monday because I'm not sure what's going to happen all I know is that I am going to be extremely clear with my manager about what's going to go down after she leaves. What exactly are my responsibilities and who is going to express that to the other people I am working with. Because I do not need to be told I'm not doing work because I'm the only one who can give the front desk manager a break in the afternoon, but they only see me go up front and disappear for 15 minutes, i guess assuming I'm not doing anything.

and to top it all off right before this I had gotten yelled at on the phone by someone trying to book a grooming appointment. Which is kind of funny and kind of shitty. Shitty because I was already stressed and agitated before this and also funny cause part of me was like lmaooo girls if you want to deal with that bullshit sure but they already triedd to train you for it and it failed.

#extremely long work rant #about drama that didn't need to happen #and my continuous journey through dealing with #idk self gaslighting #maybe there's a better term for it #anyway i just want #these people to leave me alone so i can be with my dogs #no lie i feel like #they think because i enjoy coming to work #that i must be doing something wrong #or like slacking off #i just don't get it #both of them i've literally gone out of my way to help #but they just wanna shit on me #because someone else (not even me) #got a break before them

Instead of Boycott Stranger Things, I want a campaign to get this show to raise the rating to R and take it out of the teen show category on Netflix. Give this show back to the OG fans - The adults who actually like it and understand what is happening. Teenagers don't get to dictate what happens on any show, let alone a show that was never made for them. This fandom isn't theirs. They just harassed everyone out of it and it's not ok.

#They are also harassing the cast relentlessly over the dumbest shit #someone needs to teach them manners and how to present themselves online #nothing about this drama is ok #and it wouldn't have happened if they didn't think this belonged to them when it doesn't #These people hate the show and everyone in it #they are going to complain when the last season comes out anyway #just get rid of them now #stranger things #noah schnapp

Clavell and cyrano angstttttt. My mind has conjured some messy idea of Clavell's complicated personal relations with everyone. From unresolved pining/mourning/anger for the profs, to broken friendships with Cyrano.

#director clavell #zerotrioshipping #director cyrano #Haha the drama in that happens in my mind's eye is too complex for Pokemon #//ooc #i just think it's fun to make the compassionate old man face troubles #how much regret do you think clavell holds for the two profs #things like “i loved you and I failed you” #but also “Turo and Sada how could you do all this???????? why didn't you ask for my help” etc. #basically i love that clavell and arven have a lot of commonality re the profs #but since clavell knew them for work and such it's a lot of room to explore haha #and then in comes cyrano who left it all behind him #i doubt he's a villain #if nothing else maybe opportunistic businessman with different stances about education to clavell #anyway all this boils down to area zero research era lore being so intriguing and how using clavell's life to explore it is so much fun #anyway wow my essay in tags #i care them a lot #need to adopt them all as ocs

how i feel about TBYS causing a shockwave effect of everyone dogpiling on and harassing Illymation and spreading extremely easily disprovable and malicious misinformation about her and putting her in a lot of danger for literally no legitimate reason

#big rant in the tags incoming hold on to your hats: #i swear drama commentary youtubers are actually some of the most dense people on the fucking planet #like holy SHIT i have never seen a bigger display of collective stupidity than every drama commentary grifter harping on illy based on shit #-she didn't even say that they heard from a guy who sounds like budget ben shapiro. how are you that dense. like how. actually how. #it's just a big stupid game of idiot telephone with how much basic shit people are getting wrong because they heard it whispered from- #-another person. istg if i have to see ONE more person say that ''oh but she's encouraging obesity'' ''oh but she said [thing she literally #-didn't say]!!!'' im going to SCREAM. i am going to throw my phone against the wall if i see one more malicious misinterpretation of a- #-basic statement that even a fucking doorknob could understand with more grace and nuance than these idiots #i swear to god this is all so STUPID #drama commentary youtube is where basic reading comprehension and common sense go to die. it is the 10th circle of internet hell- #-just below 4chan. #anyway rant over glad i got that out of my system. #i hope illy is doing well and that she and her partner and her cats are safe <3 #sorry for being so angry. this whole situation literally makes my blood boil and i'm so upset that an innocent person got put in danger- #-because of some nerd emoji sounding wackass blatantly lying about her and being a dickhead #this is the first and last post i'll ever make about internet drama (unless something really REALLY funny happens) i just needed an outlet- #-to scream into for a few minutes #drama commentary youtubers delete their entire channels and leave the internet right now challenge #shitpost #youtube drama

thinking about her (gary neville plotting a genuine revolution at a england nt training camp and literally planning a strike out of his hatred for the fa and his incredible pigheadedness)

#thats so iconic and also THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER HEARD #gary neville vs fa is still my favorite feud #a bunch of brainless footballers whipped up by a headless gary neville to boycott a football game #you dont understand that's the funniest thing to ever happen #i need a television drama about this #he saw one thing he didn't like and was knee deep into building a union one day later #carraville #gary neville

#i remember last summer when the situation with zzh was happening #people made lists of like tumblr accounts to not interact with basically if you #were siding towards a certain belief in that situation and wanted to keep you mental health afloating #mostly meaning you didn't wanna see people grabbing pitchforks and poisoning your time on this website and also in the fandom #yeah yeah i know “trusting other people to form opinions about people you never interacted with for you????” #i didn't care i wanted a resemblance of peace i was thinking about myself and i'm thinking about myself now #so i can tell you it saved me a lot of nerves back then #which makes me kinda wish someone would do this now #because i can tell you this #don't get me wrong i'm waiting for an official statement waiting for whatever that conference will even be like #waiting for a conclusion that would be made after an actual investigation and not a bunch of twitter infowars #but for now? i don't wanna see people jumping to conclusions based on words of someone already proven to lie and fabricate shit before #if you're distancing yourself from the situation or the person because this is too heavy for you i get it but #i also wish for you understanding if i stop interacting with you #cause that is not something i want to see i'm sorry #and if someone needs to unfollow or block me because you value your mental health i encourage you to do this #i don't really ever post much drama related shit or at least try to #but i know where i'm staying in this all for the time being and if someone doesn't wanna see that #i hope you won't force yourself #that being said #if it will be proven that he did all that and is guilty? then well fuck #but he might be you know your average person getting accused of something he didn't do #and average people might still suck! which is why again and again #i beg people to stop idolizing actors artists musicians internet personas #that involves the rest of the cast as well #you don't know any of them #they're not your friends #don't set yourself up for a disappointment please #there is not a single person in the world who “hasn't done anything wrong in their lives ever” #anyway i hope i phrased myself more or less clearly and i hope i wont make another post like this one ever again

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THE DNDADS CHARACTER BLOGS RN. WHAT. HELLO. GUYS. WHAT.

#dndads #I haven't scrolled down on the Nick Close blog yet to see the anon that was apparently telling him to khm but if that fr happened then- #-actually? shame on you anon. we as a fandom are better than this. not a fucking joke. #if that didn't happen then damn I need someone to catch me up. please. #the Ron blog doesn't give me enough info and that's the only one I'll follow lmao he's so silly #and there's apparently anon hate going to character blogs? like TJ and the Jodie blog(s?)? guys. anons. there are Real Live People running- #-these blogs. not adult men who've been endlessly traumatized by the events of dndads. those men are fictional and not here on tumblr. #be fucking nice or shut the fuck up. #again I am NOT up-to-date on what's happening so if I'm wrong then ignore tags but I feel Very strongly about 'kys' ''jokes'' and anon hate #so even the Idea that it's happening Here? in this fandom? #well I am Not A Fan of that. #also lowkey this is an invite for someone who understands to uh catch me up. I love drama with little-to-no real life effect

[themthistles]

not even joking i would kill for some kind of beyond evil sequel focusing on jihwa. it doesn't even have to be a full time drama. a mini-series, a movie, anything is fine i just need it

#she has so much potential as a character but the show just didn't. have. time for her #and i'm always sad about it #jwds don't need to be there like they can be referenced or make a guest appearance idc #jihwa works in a violent crimes unit #you're telling me there can't be a compelling story about a woman with decades of unpacked trauma #encountering worst of humanity everyday but desperately trying to believe in the goodness of it and through it in the goodness of self #you're telling me we can't have an arc of her finally forgiving herself for leaving for doubting for wanting more for herself #there's so much that can be explored #literally do none of you ever think about you're better than me you're all better than me i hope jeongje did it i'm a monster right #do you never think about i'm sorry but what i wanted was to run away not to be consumed by your desires #do you never head in hands over i never got in your way once i let you do whatever you wanted and now you're telling me not to cross over #she's always delivering lines of all time and for what #actually i take it back #dongsik can be there #series focusing on jh&ds's relationship would slap #also kim shinrok and shin hakyun as leads #their sheer acting power alone would blast brain outta my skull please and thank you #have not had interest in watching anything recently beyond evil let me fucking go let me care about something else PLEASE #promise of upcoming shim nayeon thriller drama with two female leads is the only thing keeping me afloat tbh #whenever that happens

my sister has me watching this french reality dating show and the subtitles always take a little while to kick in so at the beginning i'm just like mes amis...i do not know what you are yelling at each other...can u fight a little slower...pour moi...un petit ralentissement s'il vous plaît...un peu plus d'articulation...fâchez-vous si vous insistez, mais tranquillement...

#they're like i'm mad at you! therefore i am going to say one thousand words within one minute and only pronounce a third of the syllables. #that's fine. do what you need to do. but until the subtitles kick in can u maybe just stick to dirty looks or something 😩 #literally when francophones talk fast i can't even tell they're speaking french anymore lol #i'm like dang what is this mysterious language? sounds tight #my sister loves reality dating shows and i...do not. but the premise of this one was sufficiently different that i agreed to watch #the first episode. and even though i think the people are all ridiculous i was like okay let's see where this goes #not sure i'm gonna make it much further though. the drama has started in earnest #and the problem is that the show is for couples where one of them wants to get married and the other one doesn't #so they come on the show and like swap partners and then at the end of some amount of time the person who didn't want to get married #goes back to their original partner and either says okay i'm ready to marry you (& they get married) (assuming the partner still wants to) #or i still don't want to marry you (and they break up) #and what i want to happen is for all of them to break up. because i think anyone who goes on a reality show because they can't agree #about whether to get married should not be getting married or probably even dating each other. #HOWEVER. i don't like how sad everyone is in the meantime!!!! everybody's watching their partner flirt with other people and #some of them are feeling very insecure about it! that's hard to watch #i really am just not cut out for reality dating shows lol. but my good ol' sis just keeps trying #television #anyway i thought 'fâchez-vous plus tranquillement' and was like oh tee hee hee that's funney

[bombshellsandbluebells]

the Nate Shelley s3 arc reminds me of the s5 Murphy arc in terms of how much I actually loved it despite it not being widely liked by the fandom and was actually disappointed because it wasn't ugly enough lol

and it's basically the same arc. character with deep-seated wounds and a lack of true self-love has realistic, damaging coping methods and crashes and burns spectacularly by hurting other people around them and isolating themselves because it doesn't matter how good things get for you, deep-seated wounds that don't get addressed will eventually come out one way or another. and it will be ugly when they do.

the Murphy arc was disappointing because it got wrapped up way too easily with Memori getting back together which didn't actually address ANY of Murphy's issues and Nate's was disappointing because it just didn't commit fully to being ugly and didn't let him be enough of an asshole

#with murphy it's like. do the writers even reallly REALIZE what they had written on a character level and how much it made sense and added #to murphy's character or did they just develop a reason for Memori to break up for drama and then didn't care to actually go through the #work of character growth and just got them together at the end of the season no issues #and with nate it's like. yes I DO think the majority of audiences and the fandom would have absolutely villianized nate if he had been even #meaner in s3 and probably wouldn't have celebrated him getting back with the team. I just KNOW people would have been talking about how he #didn't deserve it or hadn't made up for it enough if he had been worse in s3 #which is so unfair when a) this show tries to show how hurt can make people ugly and b) other characters get the benefit of the doubt wa #more than nate. (jamie's a little different bc it's easier to accept asshole > redeemed arcs a little more than likeable > downfall to #asshole > redeemed again bc we see the transition to being an asshole #BUT also. still. jamie did some nasty stuff that people just forget or completely forgive. and he ends up fandom favorite #and it's not that nate needed to become the fan fave or anything #I just wish people would give characters who are realistically ugly and human and complicated more grace #especially when they're not the conventionally attractive fan fave pretty boy you know #or like with murphy it's like all his actual harsh edges got sanded down by fandom. same as with Jamie #so even when he had an arc where he was acting terribly in a self destructive unhealthy kind of way that hurt others #people made it ALL about his hurt uwu other people hurt him!! it was Emori's fault!! he did nothing wrong bc he has trauma!! instead of lik #accepting that hurt people hurt people is more than a simple phrase it is true and human and UGLY when it happens #anyways #why do i always ramble more in the tags and write like a full epilogue in here

Squeaks and flaps hands!

A Work of Magic is officially up on Ao3!!!

--> https://archiveofourown.org/works/47501014/chapters/119709694 <--

I apparently have to do some editing before I post the rest, because I’ve become a lot more discerning over when to use Little Details. (Prepositional phrases, italics, emdashes, etc. I also like colons and semi-colons now, which adds Variety to the punctuation pool.)

But I’ll be updating it as I edit! It’s the low-spoons kind of editing, really. I might even do another chapter or two before I go to bed tonight...

My goal is to get it caught up with the ffdn posting within the next month, though. Preferably before the trip to NY!

#I'M SO EXCITED #AO3 IS WHERE THE COOL KIDS ARE AT /hj #Seriously though I've been too Nervous to share my stuff on Ao3 specifically because... well. Most of the stuff I write about #is 10+ years old. TT hit TWENTY this year! Nobody really reads Teen Titans 2003 fanfics anymore #and they CERTAINLY don't read NTT fanfics much at all. #So like... Dove's stories. There's ONE REVIEW where someone is SO NICE and likes it so much and asks for an update and??? #AHHH I'M SO GLAD even ONE person likes them on there! ^w^ #The next chapter is going to need Heavily Edited though because it involves a fight scene which is a MAJOR weakness of mine... #But with A Work of Magic I really like what I have going. What I've HAD going! Pokemon is still a fandom that's going strong... #But I write stories about Sinnoh mostly. Sinnoh and Kanto. Do people even care about Sinnoh and Kanto anymore? #Shrugs. I do! And I guess I have faith that the right people will find this fanfic eventually. #Chapter 1 gets off to a bit of a rocket-blast start but when I was 14 I didn't waste time with transitional stuff. XD #chapter 8 NEVER would've happened the way it was finished today if I'd written it back then... #I can't say I'm Intentionally Better at Pacing^tm now but it IS nice to get a bit of a Downtime Chapter after the DRAMA in Chapter 7. #I'm rambling at this point but it's because I'm EXCITED! #rhs fanfics #a work of magic

do not be mistaken i am not a hardcore mileven shipper i am a HYPOTHETICAL hardcore mileven shipper in the HYPOTHETICAL that they were not mishandled at every turn🤗

#i will never not be upset about what could've been #i think the main problem is that they were so fucking rushed like #the thing that made them so special in s1 was that mike was always there for her. he pulled her out of the dark #if they hadn't immediately shoved them together to be “🤪boifwiend😩and🤩girlfwiend🥹” then el wouldn't have needed to break up with him #max wouldn't have had to interject and help el figure out who tf she is beyond mike's gf. #IF WE HAD TAKEN IT SLOW. that could've been mike! or at the very least her happiness wouldn't have to be a product of being without him #but because we didn't #they had to reduce mike to an asswipe to add necessary drama #(simultaneously screwing up his character) #there are so many things that could've been done differently that would've made them *amazing* #and i am just so crushed that we'll never get to have that. #..b-but #y'knoww.. #..despite thatt #as it issss #i will still stand by them and they still make me very happy #as it is the ideal scenario is for everyone to just acknowledge that this is what objectively should've happened #stranger things #mileven #stranger things ships

A tree is about to fall on my room

#red rambles #this is certainly a situation i didn't expect to be in today #anyway im going thorugh the rest of the areas i can sleep in and none look too appealing #but i do need sleep #far too much drama for a thursday night #i seem calm about this but thats because all the drama happened a few hours ago and now we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop #well. other tree in this case #hurricane fiona am i right?

What a strange feeling to have. Your ship finally comes together but just not in the way you wanted. Or rather, the timing you wanted--even though you've been waiting 3 years.

#everything about that finale was forced because there was just no time! #what even was the point of ricky's confession getting caught on camera?? #the this is me solo felt forced given how little time we spent with that character #ej's storyline didn't really get a resolution and also fuck his dad #big red coming out as bi was a pleasant surprise but his scene with ashlyn was a lot and also too little #nini leaving without personally explaining to her best friend that she'd be moving was a choice #the whole trailer reaction scene was befuddling bc all of a sudden ppl were getting upset abt drama they knew was edited in #and yeah...i wish rina got to have their slowburn into season 4 and for ricky to be the one to initiate that conversation #also what in that 1 month time skip made gina realize that she was still willing to bank on ricky? #when a month ago she was head over heels for ej #the whole rina ending was so forced in there i kept thinking maybe it was a dream scenario fake out #also gina is finally lead in a show and we saw her perform nothing! #we barely saw any of the show! #i just wish everything was given more time #like if rina had to happen this season it needed five more episodes #two of them being post camp still during summer break #like as someone who has been patiently waiting for rina the writing has minimized all impact for me #but im still excited to see them be all cute and coupley next season #its just that we followed ricky this season pining over gina so not having him getting to air out his feelings is a missed opportunity #but whatever its fine ig #portwells have it way worse rn so imma shut up #cause this ending made portwell seem like a distraction in the way of rina. it waa giving it was you all along #which it wasn't and that's fine! but at least wrap things up neatly #damn #but ig we won so hey! #hsmtmts #rina #portwell #rina endgame #ricky x gina

#this is just a little vent/update on some stupid shit going on on here regarding someone i won’t name #but i need to talk about it and vent bc im so frustrated at this whole thing #so i cut a friend off recently.. told them in a *very* heated message how i felt about all the terrible shit they'd said and done recently #and demanded they do not try to contact me anymore and blocked them immediately after #no surprise 5mins later i got two anons from them in my inbox trying to start a fight however i blocked the IP after those two #i even went so far as to disable my webpage for a few days to try and deter them both from sending anons and from stalking my page #and i shouldnt have had to unblock them to tell them for the second time to leave me alone and to stop trying to start things with me #because the last time we argued it was six weeks of emotional damage that i am still really messed up from #after all this it was radio silence - or so i thought #because i've received word now twice that this person has been saying untrue things to friends of friends #trying to start drama and rumours all because i cut them off and they didn't get that fight and that last word they so desperately need ? #i just…why? why why why? why does everything have to become a drama? this is why narcissists scare me.. #it took me over a year to realize thats what they are and that id been manipulated so fucking bad.. which is nothing short of embarassing #the way this anxiety has been weighing on my chest lately and dulling my time here is something that shouldnt be happening #im so so tired of all of it.. the drama and the fights and the rumours.. i physically cannot go through this kind of thing again #idk if anyone is reading this but im sorry for being so absent and unresponsive and (often times) really negative on my blog #its just so hard to be happy and positive and excited when this potential drama is looming over me day after day ya know? #im trying to push through and be here because i genuinely WANT to be here but its so fucking exhausting sometimes im constantly paranoid #i pray things will come to a rest and nothing will explode bc mentally i cannot take it anymore and i wont be sticking around in that case #i refuse to put myself through the emotional trauma that nicole put me through again. i REFUSE. so if i suddenly deactivate this is why. #but i wont be going down alone thats for sure #c.text

whatever you imagine happened during and after this scene is 1000% better than what happened in the actual show

#shrimp thoughts #(nothing. nothing happened) #(i thought fei lian would have a role in defeating him. yknow as the good friend who hates seeing yu huan Evil and Heartless #(what yh tells him here is LITERALLY that he has no heart anymore lol) and would rather kill him than see this great man like this! #but uhhh no literally nothing of that sort happened and yh was Magic Attacked into disintegrating because that's how villains go now ig #anyway as i must have said back then i am imagining the tense drama-filled au in which fl goes something like. what will it take to stop #you? i'll do Everything and there's a flicker of red in yh's eyes because i think that's very cool and also sexy #and this is how fl becomes yh's concubine and they rule with an iron fist etcetc i didn't watch the show #also i didn't watch the show SO i don't know what's up with mr grandpa and yh but i think it would be good FOR ME if yh needed to #get rid of that evil energy once in a while. lbh style #and fl lies awake at night having just been fucked into next thursday. yh is dead asleep next to him and he does his best not to look at his #face because he knows he's going to see his old friend and he's going to be overwhelmed with stupid fondness and the urge to tease him #about his stupid little frown even when he's asleep! loosen up dude or there won't be a mrs yu huan in the future! #and he's going to forget that every day he doesn't slit yh's throat in his bed is another day of suffering for innocent people #every day he spends wondering at what point can he start gently pushing yh towards relaxing that iron fist; towards maybe making things #better for people who don't deseve to live in pain -- is a day those people spend living in pain because of his inactivity #he should kill this man. as soon as possible to avoid sentiment muddling his morality. he should do it before it's too late #(but he knows that it has been too late when he agreed.) #THIS IS WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. IN MY HEART. I AM FINE IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
