#from BEFORE SHE WAS IN OFFICE

[asthevermincrawls]

anyone else deeply disturbed by the internet cultural zeitgeist's sharp turn towards anti-kink, poor media literacy, and harassment of authors who explore dark subject matter in their work. everyone else filled with a deep sense of building dread by this cultural trend's concurrence with the massive rise in fascist censorship in the united states. anyone else scared. who else is scared. tell me its not just me

#a.txt #saw someone claiming that people that are into sadism/impact play should be in jail... #thats facism. thats literally facism thats an argument a conservative politician would make #thinking about the trans politician coming under fire for a tweet about liking an unhealthy dynamic between video game characters #from BEFORE SHE WAS IN OFFICE #thinking about the young author who was harassed into revealing her trauma after she wrote a novel dealing with csa #this is a terrifyingly real cultural trend #im afraid of where its going

ghost or psychic type pokemon being literal urban legends could be cute methinks....

... actually you mentioning that makes me think.

it would be REALLY cute if one of the mini quests was to help an apartment complex of residents who are being haunted.... not by exorcising the spirits but just. helping them figure out what the ghost pokemon want.

youre not making the apartment complex any less haunted, youre just helping them become better roommates.

i figure the apartment complex could be an old hotel or something that burned down, so the ghosts there were really just the ghosts of old tennants or pokemon who live there and got caught in the fire.

#mailbox #duskull that changes the tv channel to soccer because it was a fan before it died and is determined to continue its streak of watching ever #game. haunter that keeps eating all the tennants' icecream and its really bumming her out #when she gets home from her office job and wants to eat double fudge swirl and its all been eaten by haunter #so she just gets a designated carton for haunter and another for her so they can share #pokemon city

If nothing else Koenma is a Kuwabara stan and I'm right there with him o7 (I need to write the kuwameshi fic that goes with this fr)

#maybe one day i'll write that au i have sitting in my head #ever since the comment he made about making kuwa spirit detective instead ive been thinking about it #like...what if yusuke is still recruited same as canon but like #kuwa was already spirit detective? doing assignments for the guys upstairs and all #and they made yusuke help him after his resurrection instead of going solo #and it's hilarious because they still have the ''rivalry'' set in place so it's like #now i gotta be coworkers with this guy i was in a fist fight with last week? #yusuke is like you can't be serious you want me to fight DEMONS with the guy who cant even beat ME? lmaooo okay #kuwa would be more in tune with his powers atp in this au and super offended like hello #why would i use my reiki on a FELLOW HUMAN CHILD you DICK i can hold my own on my assignments just fine #but he's actually really excited to be able to spend time with yusuke doing something besides getting his ass handed to him #they're both genkai's students (she's endlessly annoyed but they grow on her) #i just think it'd be fun cos like #it'd be harder to exclude kazuma from shit if he's literally been involved in this shit before he even met #kurama and hiei #kuwabara isn't really told about yusuke's resurrection so things go mostly the same up til he's brought back #they're both called to koenma's office and it's the spiderman pointing meme 💀 #it's koenma's first time seeing kuwa in person as he usually just sends assignments with botan #yusuke has already seen him cos of the resurrection arc #and koenma is SUCH a fanboy ''kuwabara it's such a pleasure. you know you're my best worker 🥺'' #''um urameshi am i seeing things or is that a fuckin baby'' yusuke will NOT stop laughing #it fucks koenma up so bad he makes sure he's in his adult form when he's around kuwa next #cos he wants to be the respected boss but also guy that you can chill with!! he's so cringe #okay yeah i need to write this it's such a fun concept #kuwameshi #yu yu hakusho #kuwabara kazuma #yusuke urameshi #koenma

lmao i feel like i should have been way more excited during the initial relaunch announcements

but it really speaks to how gatekeepy the loudest parts of fandom became and how mistreated certain characters (ie those not part of the chosen pet fav circlejerk on x-tw*tter, which would matter less if it weren’t a vacuum reinforced by the actual x-office) were under outgoing editorial these last five years that even a post-krakoa announcement of my girl finally:

-headlining a flagship

-with an incredible writer and artist team

-a SOUTHERN GOTHIC premise

-the possibility of rogue finally having enjoyable interactions with remy and kurt

-under new editorial (that hasn’t said inflammatory things about said character in interviews afaik)??

still kinda had me like

“cool!!…

…still not pre-ordering. i’ll see for myself in august” 👉👈

and then literally all it took was gail simone’s cbr mini q&a to alleviate everything i was paranoid about

(ie worried that rogue and gambit were only finally getting attention due to corporate knowing they sell/mcu synergy (cough r&g 2.0) while editorial themselves actively hates and sidelines them, that remy might be a punching bag joke once again, that dull - and mostly yt - sausage fest of a proposed line-up, r&g 2.0/uncanny avengers/duggan’s x-men/excalibur fatigue, general saltiness from the inferno exclusion and basic removal from her mothers’ lives)

and basically i now say

bring it!!!!

#like listen bitch ive been tricked before lmao #as long as cebulski san is running things from the top i remain wary #but #they had me at ‘southern gothic’ and the creative team #i want to hope this office won’t cater to twitter/podcast BNFs like the previous one did but…. #the x-office needs to EARN my $ back this time 🕶️ #x #fans of rogue and gambit and rogue/gambit truly ask for so little #we were spoiled by kelly thompson and im hoping we get just HALF of that energy and care w simone #fingers crossed just based on how badass her other characters have been #plus she’s all but confirmed monet is joining #monet and jubes and rogue??????? #bless u gail simone

Neelix is an absolute madman for leaving so many empty carafes out

#chief morale and chaos officer Neelix #gave myself an asthma attack cause I hadn’t focused on the background before #in this scene #is this funny? probably not but apparently I thought it was hilarious #the height of comedy for whatever it is that I am #there are like 5 empty carafes and she just bounces from one to the next sooo disappointed #there’s coffee in that nebula #unfortunately there is nothing in that carafe #she can get chummy with the coffee Harry #sorry for potato quality #I tried to get a clean video but that shit was way easier like 20 years ago #star trek voyager #the cloud #I have more i frequently find the background acting hilarious #it’s just funnier when it’s main cast #the rest of the scene is much more well known but still just top tier comedy #memeish

If Kipperlilly DOES end up betraying Porter/Jace as part of a secret other scheme she has (whether good or evil) and it has to do with saving Lucy, I just know she’s going to be a bitch about it and pull a ‘sorry, I only save High Five Heroes’ before leaving her other friends to die or some shit. And then she will take her final form: Magic Betty from Adventure Time, betraying her allies and saving her frost gf at the expense of the world. It would also parallel what Ankarna is going through (‘your girlfriend’s out of town, it sucks’, becoming a little imperialist rage machine under the influence of Porter/Sunstone but not being able to fully turn on Lucy despite going against her values and turning into a violent weirdo). This is my wish. My dream. I am manifesting it. Magic Betty Kipperlilly I believe in you.

#I am currently painting clown makeup on my face rn but this is what I’ve been rooting for from the beginning so let me dream #Come on though she HAS to have some other shit going on though right? #She was DEFINITLY in that temple when the Bad Kids said Ankarna’s name #Brennan literally rolled #and we know she was in Porter’s office #so WHY hadn’t she told him Ankarna’s real name yet? We know he genuinely believed Fig found it #Also the BKs couldn’t see who was in the window during the Wanda Childa scene #Which one of the RGs has invisibility? #HMMMM #Wanda saying ‘Kipperlilly? Why are you doing this? Is it because you’re jealous?’ before getting carried off by a fake Porter would let KP #know ‘okay they FULLY saw what happened after I killed Buddy and are onto us’ which would cause her to follow them to the temple #Also…if NONE of the Rat Grinders knew Ankarna’s name then what did Lucy write on her form to change her divinity??? #We KNOW it was Ankarna’s name and not the ‘symbol representing her’ because no one could see it BECAUSE the god was dead and no one alive #knew her name #Which means Lucy HAD TO HAVE KNOWN and was keeping it from the others right? #And when she died and didn’t come back they were fucked because they couldn’t even check the form anymore #But #Brennan also said that if Porter WASNT using Devil’s Honey and genuinely believed in Rage And Conquest goddess Ankarna instead of just her #domain then he and his ritual would (maybe) bring her back instead of killing her permenantly so he can take her domain #And idk #A powerful goddess of rage and conquest who despite everything can’t be turned against her sister and ex #who’s resurrection would mean the rune could be broken and Lucy can come back to life #One who has (or had) a personal vendetta against at least one of the bad kids #and a personal vendetta against the people who led to Lucy’s death #that sounds pretty appealing to someone as spiteful and obsessive as Kipperlilly doesn’t it #especially after her best (maybe only real) friend died and didn’t come back #especially if she stayed dead specifically to stop Porter #Again I’m putting my clown makeup on but I don’t want her to be secretly good or anything just unhinged and gay and a parallel to Ankarna #Please world let me have this I’m on my knees #dimension 20

You know what? I think people forget that Wen Qing is realistically probably in her early to mid twenties at the start of the sunshot campaign.

Like I see a lot of people make her Wei Wuxian’s age or just one to two years older, but she’s a seasoned doctor running a supervisory camp and she calls Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian brats and bosses Wen Ning around and suddenly this all makes a lot more sense to me if she’s actually twenty five at the time and they’re seventeen.

It certainly gives her the time to build up the reputation and skill set that she has in canon without begging the question of how she’s had the time to train as a cultivator and a doctor and deal with Wen Ruohan on top of it.

#mdzs #wen qing #yes I know that Wen chao gets one too #but she has the Yiling office before Yunmeng Jiang is disposed #whereas Wen chao gets the supervisory office that if WWX hadn’t come back from the bm would have been easy to hold #especially with the core melting hand at his side #I dunno just now I’ve considered her being eight years older than WWX and I really like that #big big sister WQ

Hazbin Theory!

Since we know that Adam(yknow former human and also the father of all humanity) is the leader of the Exterminator Angels then mayhaps the Exterminators are also former human souls turned soldiers for Heaven

#hazbin hotel #I've seen this idea on AO3 before in 'A Fallen Family' by Anglotron(WHICH YOU SHOULD GO READ BTW IT'S REALLY REALLY GOOD I SWEAR) #but idk if anyone else has theorized this before tho #It could be the reason why they have horns #and overall look more demonic since they're more closely related to the sinners(who were also human once) #+Tho we haven't heard the rest of the Exterminators(except Lute) speak this could also be why Adam is so crass #and not very angelic since he's closer to humanity/sinners #There was also that trading card from the offical merch that showed us the winners/humans who went to heaven #so maybe it's a voluntary thing to become an Exterminator #Or maybe it's like Heaven's version of getting drafted??? #This also works with the 'Is Vaggie A Fallen Angel?' theory #because tho we have seen some hints of her maybe being a former Exterminator she also speaks Spanish(which is human thing) #so it works for that theory if you could volunteer/get drafted into being an Exterminator

It tickled me that Della was calling but to talk to Paul not Perry!

#look how giggly ray is in the background #this is from the same scene where him and bill were all goofy before #della looks stunning as usual #perry mason #della street #paul drake #tcot runaway racer #she was giving him an update from one of his operatives #I kind of love how she does that sometimes cause I imagine one of Paul’s people called Perry’s office asking where Paul is #and instead of giving them to number she’s like oh I’ll just call and tell him #it’s cute!

[goldenhourhimbo]

just me bitching!

Trying to decide my last day in office is like, so much more fraught than I expected it to be. I run a two person department and my backup my entire leave is a 75 year old. She didn’t want us to hire any temp help and honestly my job is so niche it would be impossible to train anyone in the time available anyway. She’s going to be alone here for 12 weeks which makes me feel like I need to stay as long as possible. I polled my friends who have had babies and every single one of them worked until the day before they gave birth which makes me feel pathetic for wanting to bounce early.

BUT I AM SO SICK OF BEING HERE. It’s cold. Everyone is annoying. I don’t care that you want bond documents about something the hospital did thirty years ago. I have to pee every 7 minutes. My body hurts. I am a warm body in a chair.

The entirety of my leave is unpaid which I knew and am prepared for but begs the question…why do I feel like I need to tough it out? They’re not going to fire me. My boss wouldn’t last two days in this role, like, the concern isn’t “looking weak” or whatever. Am I concerned about what I’ll come back to after leaving everything in the hands of a septuagenarian for three months? Yes. Is an extra week going to make or break that? No.

I just need to make a decision and be done with it!

#if you read all this feel free to weigh in lol #just me whining about still working even though I knew what I was signing up for! #should have specified I will be working from home until the day before she comes #I’m just sick of my actual office

shut up im thinking abt loquatious' final speech again. such a small detail is that he mispronounces zerxus' name. which is fine, hell he did it with his own name in the first episode's broadcast. but theres something about this one.

zerxus has made a Deal, and if anyone in the ring of brass knows something about deals itd be our faerie warlock. and i think about vespin chloras, whos wish to not be forgotten was granted by being remembered as the worst villain in history. and i think about how loquatious tells laerryn "history is not true". and how faerie and devilish lore both share a belief in the importance of names.

and yeah, its probably not that deep. but maybe, just maybe, it was loquatious' way of protecting his friend from the march of history flattening a person's identity into a word on a sheet of paper.

#exu calamity #loquatius seelie #zerxus ilerez #exu zerxus #loquatious seelie #how the fuck do you spell this assholes name? ik how to spell the word. but did he do it different for the name? #anyway. im rewatching #been thinking abt all of them #i miss them :( #like. between that and that recording he made but didn't send of his resignation? #i want a fic or something where beau finds BOTH of those recordings and makes a conspiracy board on the fuck these people were #and who the fuck that? elf???? what even is he??? is that obviously was willing unreliable as he was clearly telling two different stories #but clearly loved this woman who we only have a title of?? #anyway. i think loquatious would drive beau crazy from beyond the dead and itd be pretty funny #she locks herself in her office for a week before the nein break in like 'what the fuck' and its full conspiracy board in there

job interview tomorrow 🙏

#working interview as an assistant prek teacher #i know kids are exhausting but its the only thing i have relevant experience in #and im tired of being rejected from every office job i apply to i need a job even if it pays 12 dollsrs an hour lol #anyway they'll pay for continuing education and the phone interview went really well #i think it seems like a nice place with nice people and she said she wouldn't start me at the bottom of the pay scale #so i might get more than i think #still probably not going to top sixteen an hour but its something #they called me in for prek even tho i didn't apply for that i applied for infant toddler teacher bc i have no relevant education #just lots of volunteer work with kids #but she said that one was taken and would i consider this one i didn't think i was qualified for so thats a good sign #and she seemed really nice #and the location is good its like a 17 minute drive and not too hard of a drive either #just one tricky turn #anyway #all job interviews fill me with impending doom and dread #even tho i interview pretty well i think i just never have the relevant experience to get the job lol #but this time it seems more likely #i have anotherdaycare job that literally pays twelve dollars an hour that wants to schedule an interview as well 😬 #but hopefully i get this one #the other one is closer but doesn't seem like as nice of a place to work tbh #anyway im so stressed!! #i took a sleeping pill which i may regret #i never take one before an interview bc im afraid i'll be super sleepy and tired and not want to get up and be less sharp at the interview #but then i NEVER manage to sleep the night before which i decided is worse lol #so hopefully that doesn't backfire #goodnight ❤️

I really like my job (meaning that I find the work itself soothing on my ADHD, filled with tiny details that I can organize, project-oriented and not client-facing!) but I fucking hate my job (meaning that everyone around me sucks and no one listens to me and I wind up taking on the work of 2-3 people on a consistent basis to meet deadlines and I can't find another job that I would like enough/that pays me this much so I have a hard time leveraging boundaries or demanding a raise because if they call my bluff I have nowhere else to go).

#tw boring corporate stuff #tumbling from my office though so i mean LOL #i had to sit at my desk for a minute because i walked into someone else's mess that i have to clean up before i can do my own work #i told my boss that my coworker fucked around so bad that it bottlenecked my work& she said i can have overtime today if i wanna fix it lol

.

#these past two weeks have been so intense that ive just.. not spoken about it once i got home from work #blocked it all out #my beloved colleague whose desk is next to mine has cancer #breast and uterus. she needs two major surgeries #they just diagnosed her two weeks ago #so we've been trying to deal with that as colleagues and friends #because we love and miss her and i am so deeply sad as well #but i feel like i couldn't process that at all bc two days after the news of her diagnosis i was asked to take on half of her work #on top of my fulltime #which i agreed to do bc i like her tasks and i want to help her and i also know i can do it #but it does feel very off bc i know i don't earn enough money for this workload to be long term and it is def like this #for the coming four months at least #so i did tell my manager that i would like a raise and. that bitch told me to BUY MORE SECOND HAND SHIT. #i seriously thought i saw my life flash before my eyes #then the day after she asked one of my colleagues who's been with the firm for over 30 years whether she was looking for another job maybe? #which caused that colleague to instantly go home in tears and be home from basically a nervous breakdown the past 1.5 week #which is her full right and i support her with all my heart but bc my management sucks it meant that we had to also carry her tasks ofc #i felt soooo spread thin and super super angry actually but i didn't even realise how angry i was until last thursday my colleague w cancer #came by the office. and talked about all of it. and i suddenly realised how sad i was but then also how angry #but i was just blocking it all out trying to stay afloat #bc we told her about what the manager had said and she said “i hope that i get the chance to really tell her how it is someday.” #“because the stress she causes with people can actually kill you. just look at me.” #and the rest of the day i felt so ready to be done with everything actually #but seeing her anger made me see my own anger #and released me of my own pent up emotions bc i had actual leg pains this week and it was purely psychosomatic #i then managed to tell some friends yesterday about what was going on and their outrage spurred me on even more #so today i emailed hr. demanding a raise #doing this amount of work while constantly feeling like the house is on fire while also struggling financially seriously makes me suicidal #and i am not joking #so.. if nothing comes of that im leaving that job and not looking back
