#actually put in the goddamn work

[gay-otlc]

Stop using gendered language to talk about periods right the fuck now

#before you say something along the lines of 'men have no idea what periods are like' consider: shutting the fuck up #especially if you call yourself pro trans! #actually put in the goddamn work #anyway. i'm pissed

[audliminal]

I think the crux of what makes the rat grinders so damn rage-inducing is just. How fucking entitled their whole stance is. Like sure they've put in a lot of time! And frankly, if they were just trying to graduate, put in the work, and get out with average fucking grades that would be fine.

But instead the first thing we know about them is that they feel the treatment some people (the bad kids) get is unfair. And like. That's what makes it so frustrating when the revelation comes of what they've been doing for the last two years. Because in those two years they have risked nothing and helped no one. Killing rats in a trainee forest doesn't change anything. The rats are just there. They're not a threat to anyone, there isn't any danger. Nobody needs to be doing that.

Meanwhile, the bad kids have quite literally saved the world three fucking times. The number of people who have directly benefitted from the actions of the bad kids is astronomical! And they have risked so goddamn much in the process. They have repeatedly put everything they have and are on the line, with the only beneficial reward they've gotten being their grades. Hell, mostly their success has just resulted in them being burdened with more work!

So when these fucking rat grinders show up and start complaining that the bad kids are getting favored unreasonably, they and we all know how absolutely bullshit it is, because the reality is, the bad kids have put in so much more work than the rat grinders have, for barely any reward.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #also was anyone else kinda mad at the way gorthalax talked about three hours every day like it was an amazing amount of effort? #like im not doing that math right now but id wager if you actually looked at it the hours the bad kids habe put in are much fucking higher #like there was obviously more downtime in freshman year but for basically all of sophomore year they were always on-the-clock #even working in their fucking sleep like goddamn

MadPat with Reader getting yelled at in the Pizzeria

Totally not based off my experiences with working at a pizzeria

Mad loves having you work with him. Even if it’s only part-time, every time you're at the pizzeria, he's in a noticeably better mood, and the other employees are grateful.

He sometimes just lingers around the area where you're stationed so he can watch you work.

He's in the kitchens, observing one of the new employees to make sure they're not messing up. It's his absolute least favorite part of owning the pizzeria, and he's definitely not pleased. All he wants is to go home and just spend time with you.

It's actually kind of surprising that he hears the commotion coming from the dining part of the pizzeria, because the kitchen is loud, but he does, and his attention is drawn to it.

He's mostly expecting it to be some child being scolded by its mother- god he hates those creatures- or some employee that dropped a pizza by accident.

But... he finds you, basically surrounded by three teenage boys.

They're yelling, and you're clearly not sure what to do, because your eyes dart between them and you're definitely scared.

"How hard is it to make a fucking pizza?" One of the kids, the one with the bad hair, yells directly at you.

He pulls you away from them quickly, now enraged that they would dare speak to you like that. It hurts him how you panic a little more at the feeling of being pulled away, but he hides you behind him, out of sight. You cling to him desperately.

"Is there a problem?" Mad says through gritted teeth, fighting each and every one of his demons to not murder the kids right there and then.

"We ordered a pizza ten minutes ago, where is it? It can't be that hard to make!"

"Did my employee warn you there would be a wait?"

"No!"

His eyes narrow. He's seen you work. You always let customers know about the wait for their food. So not only are these idiotic kids yelling at his best employee- his lover- but they've been ignoring you too. It's starting to look exponentially worse for them.

He wants to kick them out. The way you squeeze him a little tighter after the boy yells again only fuels that.

"Are we going to get our pizza or not?" Another one of the three teenagers says, frustrated for no reason at all, really.

He thinks for a second. "No. Get out."

"What?!" The teenagers all shout.

"You're banned from my pizzeria. Get. Out."

The boy with the bad hair scoffs. "Fine. Come on, guys."

The three boys and a fourth teen, a girl, leave. The girl, without the boys noticing, mouths an I'm sorry, and he nods slightly, turning to you to make sure you saw it too.

"Are you okay?" He asks as soon as they're gone, holding your shoulders.

You shaking from the encounter makes him furious, and once again he debates adding to the list of missing children in the pizzeria.

He doesn't even care when your shift ends, he's the owner of the place and he can do what he wants. He tells you to grab your stuff and clocks you out and takes you home.

He's literally so soft for the rest of the day, because seeing you being yelled at made him so angry and protective that he just wants to make sure you're okay :)

If you want to go back to work later that day, he'll probably let you, but he will keep a closer eye on you.

#I have never gone this feral for a post goddamn #I actually headcanon that Mad doesn't visit his pizzeria unless he absolutely has to #and that he prefers to stick to the paperwork side of things #but visiting is inevitable #anyway for the sake of this fanfiction we will pretend he works there frequently #i wrote this instead of sleeping #tw swearing #tw yelling #I feel bad putting a whole other story in the tags but I feel the need to mention all of my thoughts #“the kid with the bad hair” genuinely had the worst/weirdest hair I've ever seen in my life #tw mentions of murder #I want me a man who would murder annoying teenagers for me :( #madpat #game theory #fnaf the musical #matpat #matpat x reader

Love the fact that I can’t even find technical terms to refer to my assorted parts that I’m actually comfortable with

#HRT is great but it makes me feel silly and incompetent when I have to refer to a general area #and I am NOT!!!!!!!! incompetent #it’s just that existing technical terms do not work for how I consider my actual parts #I am so very aware that the only way I’ll make it into someone else’s bed is from being witty and charming I have no sexiness to bank on #maybe if I was a suitably skinny tboy with the desire and means to wax his vulvular area I could put out #‘content’ with a good goddamn look at my whole cuntal and vulvular area #personal

finally tackled the absolute mountain of laundry in various states of cleanliness around my room. now all of it is sorted and put into its respective zones of "away".

#98% of my room being clean with visible floorspace is just finally handling the laundry #i am ashamed and embarrassed that i always have so much dirty laundry #eventually i'll get back to the point i was at when i was the coach of laundry where i'll have like a week's worth of shit to get done #and not a backlog of several months #eventually #and i will be working on not feeling so much shame about the state of my laundry #i don't *like* that i do it but there's nothing inherently immoral about it like the voice of my mother that shouts in my brain thinks #the put away laundry plus the effort i've been making to Make My Bed before sitting in it has helped me feel more settled in the space #so that's good #when i am not as concerned about blocking the various registers in my room i will be in business #(mattress on the floor only fits in one specific corner right by the intake) #(output register is awkwardly directly in the middle of the opposite side of the room which makes arranging the furniture where i'd like it #an interesting endeavor that i'm not super excited in attempting to orchestrate in the future) #i know where i'd *like* things to go #whether or not that'll actually be feasible is another story #also i think i'm going to have to just go through my clothes with the mindset of actually getting rid of things #i threw out a couple pairs of socks because they were worn so thin i'm not sure mending would have fixed the holes #like that that point i'm making a whole new sock and you know what i could do instead? not do that #i also have a lot of Baggage Items i haven't quite gotten around to divesting myself of #(as in the items of clothing have a lot of emotional baggage tied to them that i may or may not be using to negative effect on myself) #lots of old shit lots of things that don't fit lots of things i don't even like actually #but it was free or nearly so and i've just held onto it because free #only a few things are kept because i like wearing them and the texture is nice #so we'll just. go through some stuff and eventually i'll get to the point that even if *all* of my clothes are dirty and on the floor #it doesn't take up my WHOLE goddamn room #that said this has in fact been a problem my whole life and so i don't imagine it's going to be quick or easy to fix lol

every time i think the "staff can do no wrong and any form of complaining or expressing literally anything other than "yaaay love it <3" with no further comments is bashing and literally evil we should never say anything that could even potentially be interpreted as mildly critical ever because ~some artist who worked hard on this is probably reading the forums and might feel bad if we ever express anything but praise~ also we must be constantly positive at all times unless we're passive-aggressively shaming someone for having an extremely polite and apologetically worded criticism and if you ask the staff for literally anything you had better be prepared to preface it with 3 paragraphs of apologizing for breathing air" attitude is bad on tumblr, i take one look at the forums, and holy fucking hell is it SO much worse on site

#i go for years at a time without ever bothering to look at fr forums #and then every time i do i remember why i stopped #it feels like a goddamned cult on there and every time i dip my toes i come out feeling slimy and sick #as if i just spent an hour being aggressively gaslit by my extremely manipulative grandmother #what the fuck is wrong with everyone #i'm glad i decided to keep this creepy fucking fandom at arm's length and mostly just lurk years ago #that place is not a healthy environment for anyone to be in #flight rising #legitimately the single worst fandom i've ever had the misfortune of being adjacent to #and in such a creepy and insidious way too #they'll call you an entitled whiny baby to your face and then convince you it's your fault and you're a horrible person for feeling offende #it feels like being neck deep in the absolute worst kind of preformative sj spaces #you know the ones where everyone interacts primarily via callout posts and there's discourse over if crossdressing is cultural appropriatio #that kind of toxic sj space type energy #but somehow combined with like this weird feeling of being in a mormon church in a deep south town #where all the “nice grandmas” will try to put poison in your food if they find out you're gay or voted blue even one time #and it's somehow gotten SO much worse since the last time i looked on there #they've got people literally apologizing for existing what the fuck how is this normal to any of you people #this is so far beyond toxic positivity it's like. crossbred with passive-aggression and shaming and metastatized into something new entirel #it's terrifying. i hope flight rising never shuts down just so that whatever the fuck this is can stay semi-contained. #pro tip: the more a fandom is universally convinced it's Wonderful and Welcoming the faster you should run the other way #actually good fandoms don't have to constantly reassure themselves and everyone that they're great and perfect and toxicity-free #nor do they react with immediate borderline violence to the slightest suggestion there might be anything wrong with the fandom culture #anything wrong other than “people like you who think there's something wrong with our perfect community” anyway #on that note also any fandom that insistently calls itself a “community” just. yeah. no. #get out while you still can. #fandoms work on corporate logic if they're trying to convince you they're your family or friend that's not just a red flag #that's a whole damn red fabric store

ohhhhh Sleep is definitely one of these trees isn't it.... its absolutely a waking (as in IT is waking up in me) aspect

#i. have. ugh. ive been weiiiirrrdddllly side-eying Hypnos since I discovered he existed (not getting into why. he reminds me of hermes. #he reminds me of lull. thats all im saying) but the point is because Divinity Of Sleep hits home in ways i havent been comfortable explorin #in myself so i was. looking outside me. i dont need outside stuff. godddddddd ok #ramblings // #tool: the forest #aspect: sleep #fuckkkkkk ive been having issues w sleep for so long now - and i only really recently started believing im not fucking insane and that #astral stuff does actually happen - that i completely forgot in the beginning of working w spirits post-twins i fucking #was helping people getting to sleep and Hermes fucking called me something to do with sleep and my energy was - goddamn it #i literally. naturally expand into comfortable bedding. my bedroom is like a shrine space to me not because of how its used by others #(though spirits were treating it like that BECAUSE of this aspect) but because my energy was inhabiting it like an extension of me. #i was the calm. i was the relaxing into sleep. i was sleep itself. i was that which lulled people into sleep and dreaming. oh my god of #COURSE this realisation/remembering happens after i craft a crystal for my twinflame that filters out nightmares and whatnot #because. that thing. isnt a spell jar put together with ingredients and wishes. i manufactured the goddamn journey into sleep #it rewrites the falling into sleep itself manually (or. i manually programmed it. left it to autonomously repeat that action) #it was a complete ''i know how falling asleep and dreaming work this is what causes nightmares this is what causes dreams'' and #grr grr grr ok

Finally, on Friday night, after my last day of work where I had to get up at 6:45 every day (and 6:30 if I didn’t want to be late), I am in bed by 10:30

Still watching YouTube but whatever

#but I find solace in the fact that it’s because I’m so goddamn tired #BECAUSE I have been getting up at 6:45 for four months and haven’t been able to sleep #so. it’s fine actually #I can’t wait to start working at like 9 AM on Monday like a normal person #but also what IS my new job going to be like #I get to be A Linguist again but how does it work!!! #everything about this company is so proprietary and so secret!! #I had to sign an NDA and a couple other contracts that were like ‘no seriously. N D A.’ #but I do get an allowance to set up my wfh office so I better put that to good use.

help I just wanna play splatoon but I have to revise :(

#I started playing it again this week and it’s so much more fun than I remember #I’m having a great time #I got up early today!! but I was then falling asleep trying to watch my lecture #and I have another to do (last one!!) but I. stopped working at 12 to ‘have lunch’ #actually seeing it’s the last one is a very good motivator and I only have like 40 minutes of it left #i can do 40 minutes easy and then start writing it up that’s not bad at all #if I say I’ll go until 6 for now just to have an end point so I’m not trapped in The Endless I’ll be fine #but goddamn people keep texting me (if you can read this it’s not about you ily) and I. would like to not deal with them specifically rn #aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA okay fuck that will deal with that later it will have consequences but it’s fine #I have to wash up too >:( #it’s just a plate but still #okay fine. I will. go wash up. and then lecture. by which time probably around 5:20 #and I can spend ~40 minutes writing out the basics of the two lectures I watched today that’s manageable I can do that #and it would put me a significant step forward which I need rn #and if I can do that okay for just 1.5 hours. I can have some time before i eat to play the silly squid game <3 #luke.txt

I am on 4 hours of sleep (my fault) and I have a new client in my chair who has admitted to at least half a dozen felonies in the 1 hour and 47 minutes she's been here

#actually dont even know what to say. tbf she hasn't really needed me to say anything? #she just talks. and I sit here. and nod occasionally. #there's a part of me that's like okay well this just cannot be real. she's just telling stories for fun #but also. idk she seems pretty confident that this has all happened #I am just too tired to deal with this. #she pulled up a goddamn facebook video her husband tagged her in (PUBLICLY) about liking being choked. and made me watch it. #now I try not to judge people for shit that doesn't involve me but. why did I need to see that #I need to stress she did not just pull up the video and watch it in front of me. #she very specifically held her phone up to me and said 'my husband tagged me in this' and hit play #and we both watched it together. and then when it ended she said it was true and put her phone back in her lap. #and I nodded and kept working.

Hey anyone wanna see some of my old splatoon miiverse art.

Most of these were drawn for splatfests so they make more sense in that context lol. Like the venusaur was for the pokemon Red vs Blue splatfest.

#Homestly I forget that I drew a lot on miiverse and put probably too much time into my drawings #all of the pixel shading on these is hand drawn in case you dont know how miiverse drawing worked lol #it was fun and rewarding took literal hours so figured I’d post some of these here to see if people like and/or recognize them #also there was no zooming in at all so had to do everything in a tiny square on the wiiu gamepad. honestly a nightmare #i know someone somewhere on youtube did like a splatoon miiverse meme compilation and had a bunch of art with credit to the original artists #but then they put in the ‘IM STUCK BETWEEN FORMS’ comic as a JOKE at the END of the video and DIDNT CREDIT ME AT ALL #like you credited EVERYONE ELSE you seriously couldnt put my name on it :( #i forget the video and forgot to ask them to put credit but it haunts me to this day #also fun fact about the past vs future splatfest art. My internet cut out when i was trying to post it so I couldnt actually POST it #which is devastating on miiverse b/c you cant save drawings. its all one and done baby. #so i had spent like hours drawing this bitch and then i was stuck for a couple more hours freaking out and keeping my wiiu awake #while waiting for the internet to come back on. i was so upset lol. #in hindsight the coincidence of the technical difficulty was hilarious #i think out of all of these the venusaur took the longest? there was a looot of shading required to make the fade look right #uhh what do i tag this as #miiverse #myart #splatoon #damn just realized i probably drew these back in like 2015. wow #about like 8 years ago goddamn

i know its 90% venting at the bleakness of american politics but like...

it really fucking blows to know that most people are probably not gonna vote this year. i cant wait for the fallout of that.

#rem rambles #last time trump was elected i was spit on and called a nigger to my face at work. #lets see what happens this time. surely not worse than that. #like fuck joe biden. i will personally beat him to death with a rock. i hated him last time. i hate him now. #but the swiftness that people are like 'no actually i'll take my chances with the republicans who have been flying nazi flags and actively #putting forth legislation to eradicate trans people and flirting with the klan and pushing for genital checks on kids' is...staggering. #like i see the strategy you think youre doing. as if democrats dont get off on losing constantly.... #its not moral strength to sit down and let the worse motherfucker win just to say ''haha see! you need me! you should be nicer to me.'' #if that was the case the democrats would have picked it up with hillary losing. but they didnt. obviously. #get local. start supporting local politicians that are more leftist than what we got. but by god to not expose people in red states #to even worse shit. do not encourage those bitches to visit my goddamn city AGAIN. #like what do you even think will happen outside of negative outcomes for people who arent you? like some republican will tell israel to sto #again i know its venting. so let me vent too. because holy shit is it wildly tone deaf to use the minorities that the republicans are #targeting as a fucking bargaining chip with people who dont care about us anyway. #as if saying ''im willing to sacrifice native americans to show democrats that i mean business'' will even work. #these people are so far gone that televised genocide will not move them. but you think digging your heels in will. absurd. childish behavio
