Day twenty-two | Id in alt

Kugisaki's reasoning is that Gojo wouldn't listen to her asking and she didn't want to ask in the first place.

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

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

....... .......... ........... ........... ........... ........... ........ ..................... ........................... ........................

I bet after this

you'll never want that again. At least not with you hopelessly frozen in place.

Another funny thing...

........

Pfffft.... Tsukasa turned the table on him. Who would of guessed that?! ............ ............ ............

There was also that piece of Nene frozen in time, and Hanako really kind of took advantage of that thing...

his thoughts must be going back and forth with what Tsuaksa might do next. Though, I think maybe he feels 'Tsukasa' won't do much more than what he did? I have to also remember Tsukasa doesn't really care if time is stopped or not to do a thing he wants. This boy... too powerful....

Hanako should be prepared '''if''' anything new would come his way very soon.......

******

Maybe now he even regrets doing this thing... it's cool when you're the one playing the game... but it's not so cool when you're being played with. Akane really... got back at him twice by now...

so it wasn't 'low' when you threaten with it aaah.. I want to see how he would react to what Tsukasa did later on! ...... that's enough pay back for him I think.... on all he said and did.......

poor boy........

#i think Tsukasa left him questioning his life in there #who thought it would be cute little brother to make him regret ever suggesting/doing some things? #i mean.. even if we know Tsukasa won't do much more than what he did... Hanako has lots of ideas of what to do in such a case... #and all of them are not innocent I assume.your view on something is your enemy.how cool.nothing is better than your own actions hunting you #maybe now time stopping is one of his nightmares. i remember at times i talked about the little idea of him stopping time back when he used #to be Amane... and suspected Tsu would be the target... this thing is on a whole new level... if that was true somehow... #let's imagine it was... uh... Tsukasa took his rights back -without even knowing-! ehh... cool in a way #but really...can Tsukasa be affected by stopping his time.... would he still be counsios...? ignoring these... that little fantacy is funny #we can also go for the possibitly he was in a deep sleep in Hanako's boudary... it works the same way as if his time is stopped... #who knows what happened back then while he was in that state... he could be getting paid back for this thing instead. #who. knows. #(.)

it feels a little silly to be so happy about something that, currently, just amounts to some free dance classes but I really, genuinely am just so joyful about getting this traineeship

#like #tbh it turns out i don't actually care that much about getting paid #when i a) have a solid full time job #and b) now can save like $54-60/week #(and also am being paid double that by the same org to teach?) #and most importantly get to dance and grow #idk i think i have had so many times in my life #where i've either seen the limit of dance in my life or hit it #from doctors telling me i couldn't dance anymore to the y'know #general crushing weight of Growing Up and Getting a Real Job #and now i'm not like. a Full Time Contracted Company Dancer the way i dreamed #but i'm part of the company and get to keep growing and learning and dancing #AND i get to have all the rest of my multifaceted life along with it #like shit dude #there was never a point in my life where i thought i could have all of this #a job that (while sometimes frustrating and stressful) lets me work on cool things that matter to me #and pays enough i can do all the things i love #and dancing ~professionally with people i rlly like and respect #and the art! and the music! #and the friends! and life in a city i've loved since i was 10 years old #i am feeling very grateful and joyful and also a little bit overwhelmed #personal

“you should get all your patches from local bands and live shows!” Honey, I’m poor and I live in arkansas, how am I supposed to do that?

#should I just get blue grass patches from the state fair or something? #what local bands are even making cool patches? #I don’t even know any local bands #and I haven’t really seen any advertised online that look like something I’d jam to #I’m picky! #not many of the current bands I listen to even make patches #and maybe I don’t want to go to live shows! maybe I’m shy! ever think of that!? #and I don’t want to drive an hour just to see some shitty band #I’m a poser. I just want to look cool. I have minimal interest in seeing some crust punk band play in a small hot room #I did my time already! I did the teenage hardcore scene! I paid my dues! now just let me do my own thing #just let me make my silly little jacket in peace #not that anyone is really bothering me… just kinda complaining about nothing #not a lot of electronic or goth bands playing in arkansas that also make patches… that I know of #who knows. maybe there are and I just haven’t heard about them 🤷🏻‍♂️ #just always seems like I dunno metalcore or folk punk whatever bands. not that there’s anything wrong with that. #I dunno. I don’t know genres anymore. #it’s a lot of metal bands I can’t differentiate or college kids with acoustic guitars. lots of yelling from both. #which… cool. I can dig that. just not really what I listen to in my downtime #….. yup…. that’s… I dunno what else to put here #I love you #this isn’t important #you can ignore this #text

“a sicks’ dream come true; coming soon to fanfic channels near you”

#presenting my cursed sleep-deprived brainworm of the day: nagisa gets sold to ft4 for uni fees #or well. more like they’re looking for a live-in assistant dude. thing. or sth. idk #and papa shiranami just sells his son off bc ‘hey it’s literal free real estate!!! plus he’s gonna get paid for the entire deal so why not?’ #nagisa initially pitches a fit at his dad a la gamushara yelling scene bc ‘dad!!!!!! how could you just sell me off to some strangers?!!!!’ #‘shhhh son; think of the free housing. in ✨t o k y o✨. stuff’s expensive there yk’ ‘but still!!!!!’ #so nagi sulkily packs his bags and heads out; trying to motivate himself with thoughts of ‘hey at least i’ll get to see hiyori more often’ #then he arrives at the train station and sees our favourite 5-man non-idol gang… and promptly passes out #when he comes to… poor guy finds himself right smack in the middle of a hugeass canopy bed #with dai sitting smugly by the side like ‘the great me carried you back mans. you’re welcome ;)’ with a tip of his cool fedora #and that’s when nagi realises that 1) it’s not a dream and that he actually has to live with his oshis now. and 2) damnnnn this bed is soft #cohabitation shenanigans happen. as they would seeing as the entire gang + rio’s niece live together in this oddly huge megu-owned penthouse #plus free bi-weekly vacations to megu’s family villa bc they can never spend a waking moment without each other #and nagi finds it strange that the group is oddly accomodating of his uni schedule when it concerns his job tasks and such… #or that they collab with lxl (hi hiyori!!!) way more than they should typically be… #but he brushes it off when rio asks him to cook with him or sth idk i mean how often do you get to cook with your oshi???? #and idk eventually the jig is up and it’s revealed that hiyori was the one who was accidentally behind the whole thing #like a ‘sorry nagisa i told uchida that you’d be moving here too but lxl were there the entire time and they went and got ft4 to buy you’ #or something kinda thing. idk. bc everything has to be lxl’s fault; even when they’re just lurking in the bg #i’m def gonna regret this later lmao. it’s almost 2.30 in the am; i have not written in months; and i’ve never read a sold to 1.d. fic ev er #this is the kind of cosmic horror that only sleep-deprived brains can cook up ig…….. oh wells #it is suiyoubi my dudes #the dude from gamushara

one of the cashiers at the grocery store i go to is so fucking fixated on shoplifters and it drives me crazy any time i check out through him (i try to avoid him but his checkout is often the most open/empty - hm! i wonder why! - and im often on a tight schedule w the bus). he brings up shoplifters every opportunity he gets and he seems so convinced that theyre a huge problem.

BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME ,,, is that today the customer in front of me was needing a price check on one of the items bc it should've come out to be cheaper, so he was kind of apologetic abt it and saying "ah well, yknow, six dollars is six dollars, especially with how expensive groceries are right now" and i was nodding and agreeing (trying to show that i dont mind the wait and also solidarity my guy good for u for speaking up and getting the price fixed on that) AND THE CASHIER AGREES. FULLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND BEMOANS THE FACT THAT GROCERIES ARE CRAZY RN. AND THEN GOES ON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SHOPLIFTERS. HUH ??????

so you agree that groceries are unreasonably expensive... and that sometimes ppl can't afford them... and yet ....................

#HE MAKES ME SO FUCKING ANGRY CMONNNN THINK ABOUT IT DUDE.... #i knew him in highschool (small town things lol) and im pretty sure he was one of those kids who thought cops were really cool. so. yknow. #not surprised. just annoyed fdjkl #i would say smth like ''oh does ur paycheque get docked if shoplifters come thru or smth?'' but i dont want to piss him off #i would like to remain civil with the cashiers here bc its the only grocery store i can get to most of the time fdsjkl #but like. i would love to find out why he hates shoplifters so much #when i worked at DQ in highschool and ppl stole dilly bars or FULL CAKES... i did not give a single shit #even though the managers and boss would get kind of angry at us (but they knew we couldnt do anything abt it really lmao) #and then we had to put locks on the customer-facing freezers which was a hassle for us #AND STILL. I NEVER FELT ANGRY AT THE SHOPLIFTERS. BECAUSE WHATEVER DUDE LIFE IS EXPENSIVE GO GET THAT ICE CREAM!!! #also i was not paid enough to care LMFAO and i know for a fact that this cashier isn't paid enough either bc my brother used to work there #I DUNNO DUDE. HONESTLY I HAVE MAD RESPECT FOR SHOPLIFTERS #i've potentially done it a few times and its fucking terrifying esp w the amount of cameras installed now fdsjkl #i dont do it now even though i need to more than ever bc i was making myself sick every time i possibly did it #i'd get home and sit in the bathroom for an hour trying to make sure i wasnt about to throw up from the stress fdsjkl #also it was stupid to do honestly (but . needed. so yknow.) bc again. i dont have any other options for accessible grocery stores really #ANYWAYS. fuck that cashier i hope he realizes what a little narc he's being and gains some class consciousness or smth idk #all for one and one for all etc etc etc we're all in this together my guy #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

that new treasure hunt event actually has some pretty good rewards 😭😭

in total So Far i’ve gotten:

460,000 renown

600,000 gold

3 battle skip tickets

12,000 energy

30 insight elixirs

#lord of heroes #loh #i was surprised you could even get battle skip tickets #i thought that was just a paid subscription Only thing #but that was pretty cool #the main thing i don’t like about this event how you can’t trade in All materials #like those emblems and shards you get from dismantling gear or whatever the hell #and also like. crystals give you the most permits but you can only do so many explorations with the permits anyway #why is it THREE THOUSAND permits to do one exploration?? that should give me like a gazillion explorations #i got a good amount of them in but it’s so expensive tbh

screeeeeeching bc the woman on my team who never does any of her own work bc she's So Busy Writing A Book (not for work) is taking a 4 week holiday to go to a writer's retreat at one of the busiest times of year. and I Know my work bestie (aka my line manager) will have been killing herself from sitting on this and would LOVE to bitch about it but us lowly peons have only been informed today, and she's on holiday until next week. so like. who do I look directly into the camera like I'm on The Office to? my other team mate refuses to bitch behind people's backs bc it's against his religion. but I gotta bitch or I'll explode.

#this is. no word of a lie. the third time this year she's taken a month of unpaid leave to do Writer Things #and she doesn't half want to tell us about it #and the thing is! honestly it's great! #bc we get a lot more done when she's not around #And I Oop. #which is unnecessarily harsh but she's the one who's eventually caused our team whatsapp to be removed bc she kept #using it to give me unsolicited critique of my work that I'm like Cool Ok Maybe Message Me Instead Of A Whole Team #(also she's a fundraiser not comms and all her criticisms of my work are 'i think this tweet could be twice as long and 4x as dry') #we have all tried. SO HARD. to meet her halfway. or even 2/3 of the way. but she just takes the piss. #she asks her colleague to write her applications and me to run her research and design her documents and at a certain point is like #literally what do you do aside from google open applications and demand that other people do the work so you can collate it #which literally Is Not Any Of Our Jobs #and for this she gets paid a salary equivalent to a manager bc she's a '''''specialist''''' #she is my work nemesis but not as much as she's everyone else's #and our team manager seems to think this is bc we don't want to include her not bc she refuses to be included #i have done SO MUCH to make her life easier I've made templates ive written up data directories I grit my teeth and send out rewritten #versions of her fucking awful comms #and she just sends out emails demanding things Now bc the deadline's tomorrow #and is Mysteriously Absent every time people hold meetings #and when she is eventually corralled into coming to a meeting she just derails every conversation for 40 minutes #she doesn't meet her targets or do anything for anyone yet upper managers love her! mysteriously! #it's almost like she devotes her energy into politicking instead of DOING HER DAMN WORK or something #and she's one of those middle aged rich feminists you know? you know the ones? the incredibly fuckin condescending ones? #she went to a 3 day training in work time on Being An Inspiring Woman last year #I'm like have you considered instead a training on Giving Your Colleagues A Modicum Of Respect? #bc you know who i think are inspiring women? the many women in my organisation #who've come from homelessness or deep poverty and knuckle down and take on the work that needs done #and therefore are Actually Helping Other People instead of pontificating about how good it is When Women #red said

Going from being broke and working minimum wage to “actually has good job” will never cease being weird to me.

I can barely get any work done in a week and still make more than when I was breaking my body trying to do the work of three people. Like. ???

#lix rambles #this is just further evidence that minimum wage needs to go up #and working conditions need to improve #oh and laws against ghost staffing #laws against clopening would also be cool #for those who do not know clopening is when you have a closing shift and an opening shift back to back #its one of the worst schedule set ups especially in food #i personally never clopened #but i have traded shifts with coworkers so i would close and they could actually sleep before opening #ghost staffing or skeleton crews is just when they staff the bare fucking minimum #so if someone calls out sick someone else HAS to come in on their day off #managers can and will guilt trip you if you refuse to come in #or they force YOU to find someone to cover which means YOU need to text a coworker to cover #sliced off part of your finger? burned yourself? too fucking bad gotta come in to work food service if you can't find someone to cover #anyways now to take a nap because i woke up too early and while i won't get paid my current job just lets me do that??? #weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiirrrrd #also i swear this isn't bragging its just trying to digest that wow things CAN be better #maybe they should be better for EVERYONE

Literally cannot comprehend that some people just... go places.. I know someone who just got back from a 2 week vacation and then the day they came home they went out to eat at a restaurant (at a busy time mind you, like 7pm on a saturday night!!) and then went to a mall to shop and then woke up early for brunch the next day and were at a bar in the afternoon and so on and so on and it’s like... god don’t you get tired of being places? If I go grocery shopping for 20 minutes on monday and then have a doctor appointment on tuesday, I am SO tired of leaving the house that I want to do nothing for the next two weeks lol...  Doing multiple major tasks/trips in one day and ENJOYING it and SEEEKING IT OUT is utterly inconceivable to me..  we are different creatures entirely lol

#not even regarding how irresponsible it is to be constantly doing stuff during the pandemic and etc. etc. like EVEN before the pandemic #I felt this way exactly the same. I just do not understand the human compulsion to be Doing Things (tm). And it's not that I don't enjoy #SOME things #like very hyperspecific things in controlled environments scheduled 10 days ahead of time and intricately planned lmao #but like there is some stuff I enjoy so it's not like I just hate everything but it's just... ghghhhhhhhhhh #like what are you running away from something? is it unberable for you to be alone with yourself so you have to be like #constanly up and out and finding new sensory shit to throw yourself into or like??? #I am legitimately not exaggerating comepltely 100% fine not leaving my house for months at a time (aside from going on walks to get excercis #e just around the block/still within the neightbohood and occasional necessary grocery trips to stock up on food obviiously) #I simply do not posess the impulse to go out to restaurants or bars or go to clubs and dance or go to parties or concerts #OR even travel like...?? idk I guess it's not terrible but in the past when I have traveled I've found that the only things #I could name that I enjoyed about the experience were like.. I like being on hotels because you get free breakfast sometimes and they have #TV and air conditioning and better beds than I do at home. I like people watching from my room windows. I like being in airports because #of the way they;re designed and I like to pearch somewhere and watch people and watch clouds and planes taking off. #I enjoy being on airplanes because the windows feel cold and you can look at clouds and sometimes have gingerale. #but I dont enjoy the traveling or going places itself. I'd rather be at home working on my hyper-specific interest hobbies lol #legit not joking at al if I won tickets to like an all expenses paid super luxury tropical getaway I would sell them and use the money to #buy craft supplies. I would get 10000x more personal fulfilment and joy being able to work on a new project or having the money to pay off #bills or buy better groceries or get an apartment with a better bathroom or something like that than I would having the one time #experience of like wow I looked at a cool beach and some sunsets and ate at restaurants a lot #And maybe the thing is like. I don't value experiences? I value resource security and pratical progress at things #and not in a like workaholic capitalist way but just in a like.. I value more what's going to make me happy in the LONG run than temporary #expeirences that are somehow supposed to mean something to me in the moment (yet I usually derive no pleasure or meaning from at all) #Like I would rather use money to invest in my niche hobbies or crafts or personal improvement or getting a more comfortable #bed or better shoes for my foot pain or etc. etc. than I would spending the money to go out to a resuarant or travel or etc. #ALSO again like.. in addition to it simply not seeming worth it because my brain rarely is able to conceptualize the value of those sorts of #experiences.. it's also just SO tiring to do things! Even a grocery store trip can be overwhelming with sensory stuff and social things #and etc. etc. and I just realize like.. all the things people have told me are Fun are not Fun for me. I grew up and realized you actually #have no obligation to do things. I found out you can spend your birthday at home alone eating a waffle and playing your favorite video game #and I have never went anywhere or done an activity on my bday since lmao.. 'Doing Things' is just hard for me to grasp still really lol

i have stuff to say about the ETG drama but i dont want to post before gf bc then it could look like she copied me if she posts about it when in reality we talk to each other about interesting topics like that.....

#(what i have to say is basically #ye obvs ppl shouldnt be mean Butt the actual issue here is ETG not having a paid staff member doing community management and - #- removing their dev staff from bad work environments such as a discord server if its hurting them and - #- exploiting (as many other companies do) free work in the form of mods and ambassadors which isnt really a fair thing to do #if ETG staff are bad at handling constructive criticism or not? cool whatever. the issue isnt this. the issue is not putting yourself in - #that situation bc ANY community is going to have ppl who are critical or defensive or misbehave or are kind or whatever. lots of variety. #and you can ban them and warn them but more will come. and kids will be kids and mean ppl will be mean. #you have to PREPARE for that as a professional adult if youre going to interact with the community in those ways. if its difficult for you - #or if it takes too much time or whatever. then you hire someone to handle this part of your company. #it just drives me crazy seeing professional adults act as if being upset by your community is a situation you cant help but be in. #you put yourself in that community interactions by choice when you decided to host those community spaces officially and to participate - #as individual staff members. if you arent healthy or mature enough to handle that People will be People - thats okay - but get out of there!
