Things they don't tell you about getting a PhD:

(1) If you got a fellowship, that means you're special, so doing your job isn't enough, you actually have to excel, or else you're a freeloader who's thieving from the institution

(2) If you're struggling in any way, you will be encouraged to quit so that they can stop financially supporting a slacker (our assistant program coordinator let me know that my severe anxiety is totally relatable, she gets overwhelmed filling out contracts and scheduling meetings sometime too, but it's no excuse for failing to meet their standards). Your efforts are unimportant if they are not producing results. You are there to be an asset to the university, and what they provide for you (a meager salary, and at least in theory I'm supposed to be able to maintain my sanity) is just a nice bonus.

(3) Evidently I cannot actually be fired? They can stop paying me after five years, or fail me on one of my exams, and I can be subjected to endless ridicule and shame, but I guess that since I can't find a better position, my current advisor will have to deal with me for a while longer. Genuinely don't know if they'll ever let me graduate, but I guess remaining employed for now is *something*.

#phd #phd life #should I just get an MS???#but I didn't come for an MS #I love what I do #I'm just progressing a little slowly #not sure if its because I'm dumb or what #logic says get an MS #but I enjoy the life I've built here #and I don't like it when other people tell me what to do #sorry I'll get back to DBH posting soon

I am sorry you've been harrassed by terfs, but the way you are currently trying to weed them out seems a bit misguided. As in, the vast majority of terfs are in fact ok with big hairy CIS men. The so-called men they are actively hating are trans women/transfem people. So by acting like you proclaiming your love to big hairy dudes is the best terf-repellant you seem to be missing the point at best.

i'd love to actually respond to your concerns or whatever the hell it was that you were trying to convey with this ask, but it has almost no basis in reality so i literally cant.

thats the one statement on how effective i think the banners are that has left my queue so far. which is: i hope it works but also have literally 2 other backup plans already in case it does not. i dont know why youre calling that "acting like [me] proclaiming [my] love to big hairy dudes is the best terf-repellant", because thats wildly off target from what i have actually said at any point. everything else youve said is also pretty much either dead wrong or ignorant, so im getting the feeling that you not reading has been a problem for a while.

(ive also not mentioned terfs this entire time--ive been talking about radfems and using the word radfems. they're not the same thing although there's large overlap. so like. thats strike two for zero reading comprehension, buddy. cause you are literally not talking about the group im talking about and youre also inventing whole new sentences that i didnt say.)

#obviously reading ability does not equal intelligence. more about the wild overconfidence of someone who didnt bother to check if they #even read a statement correctly #i misread things all the time which is why i also dont barge into strangers inboxes to insult THEIR intelligence #because i know theres always a chance im completely wrong and i dont want to be an asshole #anon you could give that a try #like what am i even supposed to say to this ? i dont think its the best terf repellant and have never said that ?#but if you know so much about them go ahead and tell us your suggestions for how to get rid of them #im skeptical that they will make any sense at all but im always open to new ideas #(feels nice to be condescended to doesnt it ? i assume thats why you were condescending to me so im returning the favor <3)#anyway other than this fool thank you all for the supportive asks im glad youre enjoying the banners ! so am i :D #way too soon to tell if theyre working (no radfems yet but i usually get a wave of them every couple months so i wont jump to conclusions)#but just as blog decor theyre already great #there are many many asks though and i dont enjoy when this blog is less fiber craft than other stuff #so im reading each one and appreciating them but please dont be upset that im not responding to them or posting them #i have the first 2 i got in my queue and then i got like 20 more so

Heyo!! :D uhh I was just thinking about prompts!! I have two that I've just been thinking of! You can do one or the other, I don't mind ^^ Yuno with Blanket (if you havent done that yet :o) and Muu and Yuno with Honesty :D

Thank you so much :D!! Your writing is so funky I love reading it, it's like my daily newspaper abejfncjcn

Hi Mug :D thank you so much aah!! I really loved these combos, that's so sweet for both of them ;-; Here's Yuno and Blanket -- something lighthearted from the beginning of t1, with a bit of her unfortunate people-pleasing habits.

“Requests are in!” Mikoto’s voice sang from down the corridor. The prisoners perked up from where they’d been lazing about. One would have thought he'd announced a jailbreak with the amount of energy that rippled through the room. Yuno leapt to her feet.

"You seem excited," Kazui chuckled as he stood. "What are you getting?"

She suddenly felt a twinge of shame for her reaction. Things weren’t bad in Milgram by any means, but the atmosphere was beginning to creep under her skin now and then. There was an old comfort she’d been dreaming of the past few weeks. It felt embarrassing to say to someone as concerned with his maturity as Kazui.

"Oh, nothing much,” she said. “Just something that reminds me of home, like the cigarettes you ordered." She didn’t know him well enough to say so, but she was secretly grateful for his request. The smell of smoke was familiar to her as well. "But mostly it's something new around here -- isn't the whole thing exciting?"

It was the first time they’d received a delivery, and everyone was eager to see if they got what they ordered. Though Yuno found the system surprising, it made sense. Milgram allowed more unique freedoms than a normal prison, given it also inflicted more unique restraints.

She joined the group heading down the hall, all chattering in anticipation.

"Yuno!" Mahiru waved her over. The woman had talked about the products and creams she'd requested, in the hope of keeping up her skincare routine. Yuno would be following suit soon, though she wanted those things to keep herself feeling refreshed rather than looking a certain way. There was no one here to impress. With her looks, that was.

Mahiru’s eyes gleamed. "What did you order?"

Yuno knew she wouldn't satisfy her appetite for gossip as much as Shidou testing his luck with medical supplies or Amane’s taste in high-level study materials had.

"Something real cute~" was all she needed to say to get her giggling.

Es instructed them to line up in front of their room to distribute everything. Yuno found her place behind Haruka.

"Hey, hey! What are you getting?" She wasn't immune from that same gossipy curiosity…

His cheeks immediately reddened. "Uh, well, I h-hope I can get some c-candy. It -- I mean, it's kiddish, I know."

"Don't worry, some might think my request is childish, haha! Plus, I think Muu ordered sweets, too."

This seemed to calm him a bit as he walked ahead. Fuuta nudged her from behind.

"Oi, what did you ask for?"

She'd overheard him and Kotoko discussing what would likely be caught as a tool to escape, and knew her answer would disappoint him.

The bright smile she’d given Haruka angled into a more jaded smirk. "Eh, just something to get me through the night, you know? A practical comfort."

Fuuta grunted, respecting the choice.

Her attention returned to the front of the line, where Haruka was returning with loose treats spilling from his hands. She took his place in Es' doorway.

"Prisoner 002," Es scanned a piece of paper. "For you… ah,” They read it again. “Just a blanket? Was that all?"

She beamed. "Yup! Just a blanket."

“You strike me as the kind to ask for a lot…”

“Mmm, you’ve read me well, Warden! Not this time, though. Gotta start small, then see what I can weasel out of you!” She winked. As usual, Es pretended to be unimpressed. Yuno knew she was wearing them down, bit by bit.

She offered a bouncy bow as Es handed it over. She hadn’t given many specifications, but it certainly looked as big and fluffy as she had hoped. Milgram had gone with pink -- the same shade as some of her uniform accents.

"Thanks!"

The prisoners' excitement died down fairly quickly afterwards. Amane began reading in silence. Kazui retreated to the smoking room alone, though Shidou and Mikoto promised to join him after the next round of requests. Haruka had nearly finished eating all of his candy by nightfall. Kotoko sat by herself to jot things down in her new notebook. Yuno’s good mood lasted much later.

Once the bell had rung and silence fell onto the prison, she could feel the usual chill start to creep into her cell. It had gripped her with fear the first few nights -- that unshakable coldness that reminded her why she was here in the first place. Sometimes, when her body jolted her awake with the feeling of falling, she'd blame it on the temperature rather than a universal human experience. It brought up too many painful memories to be something so ordinary, after all.

But not tonight.

Tonight there would be no falling, and no chill. No stepping into bed with enough skin showing to make her shiver. No more crafted conversations or flashing certain expressions.

A goofy grin spread across her cheeks. Yuno unfolded the blanket with a flourish. She swept it around her body, then flopped down on her bedding. With nothing more to worry about, she sank into the cushy blob.

‘Just a blanket’ her ass. This was the warmest she’d felt in a very long time.

#milgram #yuno kashiki #and others but shes the focus #thanks pal!! this made me so happy :))) it was so fun!#sorry if the tone is all over the place -- ive stared at it too long this weekend and i cant tell RIP #i wanted it to be cute and have some chill t1 vibes #and when youre homesick or just really going through it even the smallest physical comforts can be a huge deal #but also shes So Deep in the habit of changing herself to please others while also goin through it ;--;#i wanted to include my hc that when she gets that body-falling feeling its even more stressful because... well...#i hope you enjoy!!#ill be posting the honesty one soon -- i wanted to today but work completely fried my brain into scrampled egg -_-#i know i can do one or the other but i always get so imspired by both asdfsdfs #i have an idea and definitely want to keep running with it!#a liar and someone whos a bit too honest...#oh and i forgot to mention that the smell of smoke thing was mentioned in one of the timeline conversations!#she likes it but she never elaborates on why #im projecting because i really like the smell of cigarette smoke because it reminds me of my grandfather so i think itd make her think of #home/family :')#i couldn't remember if it was an interrogation question or timeline but im almost positive it was the latter #drabbles

Tea Time Tall Tails (FNAF SB Fanfic)

Combining a few cute suggestions from Ao3 for this one! The_TRUE_Fanfiction_Princess: Somehow we discover a setting that makes us make mouse sounds? Gaiko: Reader cheering up Sun or Moon after a bad day? Or alternatively, Reader and the rest of the Rat fam have a game night / gossip party just sit around and spill da tea XD

This chapter is a standalone in-universe scenario for 'I Think I Smell A Rat', no previous reading required! All you need to know is you're a lil robot repair rat who lives in the walls of the plex and you're pals with Sun and Moon.

EDIT: I ALMOST FORGOR!!!!! The new stylish little bowties the rats have are inspired by THIS AMAZING FANART right here by @shirajellyfish!!! Everyone go look at it right now its so cute

This chapter contains: - Silly fun times with the boys! - The rats all make rat noises now, and if you know your rats you'll know that some noises mean a rat is scared or in distress, but for the purposes of this fic, I'm declaring right here that when the repair rats make the noises everything is fine, they're just randomly pulling audio files from a folder called 'misc rat sounds' some software guy put together from synthesized sounds. The squeaks are just cute rat sounds! No rats were harmed during the making of this fic lmao - This really is just a silly fun fluffy chapter ^_^

Ao3 link here!

The main fic this is based off of here: (I Think I Smell A Rat)

Tea Time Tall Tails

You wouldn't say you had a favorite task per se, you just enjoyed doing the tasks and seeing them vanish off your little list and appear again in the network's completed task archive. And there were definitely some tasks that were easier than others. But of all the tasks, you sure did enjoy fixing the arcade machines when they broke quite a lot.

All the arcade machines in the plex had either been built or modified after purchase to accommodate repair rats. They had ports just your size in the back, right by the power cable, and the ones built by the company had steep little paths along the inside walls for you to climb.

You weren’t sure what it was about the arcade machines. Maybe it was just that fixing one had been your very first task ever upon activation. Maybe it was how simple they usually were to fix, making for a quick reward of ticking the task off the list. You weren’t sure, but you were in good spirits tonight. You’d gotten to fix two arcade machines, and with all the rest of your tasks done as well, you were on your way back to the nest for a quick recharge before you got to see your very tall friends in the daycare.

Charging took longer than expected; there was a decent update waiting for you to power down and install it. A very brief and uncaring glance at the file told you this was actually the second part of a different update you'd received this morning. You'd had to go to parts and service for that, as there were apparently some small new parts to install and older parts to replace. This whole 'update' thing was more a very minor annoyance than anything, and you quickly put it out of mind once you were awake once more. You were excited to get to the daycare and hang out with your friends!

When you finally arrived, you were thrilled to see a few more of your repair rat friends were already here as well. Ever since Sun had extended the invitation, the daycare had become almost a hub for any rats with some free time. You and the other rats, as it turned out, were somewhat starved for games and play time. You all worked so hard all the time, and before you’d met the daycare attendant, none of you had ever really taken time off to relax or have fun. It was always busy busy busy, work work work.

Now though, you all had lots of games to play, and Sun and Moon never got bored or lonely after closing anymore either.

“Tiny friend!!” Sun greeted you with as much enthusiastic delight as always, bounding over to scoop you up the moment you set foot in the daycare. “How are you??”

You waved your tail and used the light at the end to blink out a reply in morse code. To your surprise however, the moment you began to blink your light, a sound jumped straight out of you.

You and Sun both froze. You swiveled your head around in surprise, but you and Sun were the only ones around. Your rat friends were all the way across the daycare at one of the plastic tables. A moment later, you processed that the noise had come from you.

"Did you just… squeak?!" Sun cried. He was practically vibrating with delight.

"I… think… so…?" You slowly blinked in reply. This time you heard quiet chittering noises coming from you as you did. Those sounds were definitely coming from you. You paused to take a closer look at those update files. "Ah. I've acquired a speaker box, it seems. And several audio files."

"Yes!! That's right, a few of your friends told me you all got an update! Just when I thought you couldn't get any cuter!!" Sun bounced from side to side and gave your head a little pat. "You make cute little mousey sounds now with your little… squeaker box!" Sun giggled. He held you up closer to his grinning face plate. "OH!! And look at this, it's so teeny I almost didn't see it! You've got a little bowtie now too, ahhh!"

You had to admit, the pun was amusing. You weren't sure about these noises, though. They didn't really have a practical use. Who thought this was a necessary update?? You had actually noticed the bowtie; that had been a new addition after this morning's parts and service updates, but you hadn't really paid it much mind at all. Much like the noises, it didn't seem all that necessary to your tasks. "It appears I'm set by default to make random noises when certain conditions are met. Tail light activation, task completion, being in standby mode for more than a minute… I believe I can turn these settings off easily enough."

Sun gasped, as if you'd committed a horrible offense. "NOOO! But the noises are so cuuuuute!! Pleeease please pretty please keep them on??"

"They don't serve any purpose! In fact playing noises all the time is going to take up more battery power, so I'll be less efficient!" you argued.

"How much battery would they take?"

"…" You ran a quick calculation. "I estimate 0.063% battery power will be used for these noises per each charge."

"Aw common, that's barely anything!" Sun pouted, slumping over and drawing his sun rays in slightly. "I guess if you really want to turn the noises off, that's your choice of course…"

Sun looked so sad, like this was a true travesty for him. You deliberated for a moment. You hated seeing Sun so upset. "…I suppose I'll leave the settings on for now. Just while I'm in the daycare, though."

Sun instantly brightened, springing back up as his rays all popped back out. "Yippie!!!"

You still couldn't grasp why this mattered so much to him, but you'd humor him anyways.

"Oh, but we've gotten distracted by your adorable new features!! How are you, tiny friend?" Sun asked.

“I’m great! I’ve been having a great day today. I fixed some arcade machines,” you told him. You squeaked and chirped as you did, and Sun started bouncing again.

“Oooh fun! I’m so glad to hear that!” Sun’s rays swayed happily. His grinning face plate took up nearly your entire field of view as he held you right up at eye level. You couldn't see precisely what his optics were focused on, but you got the feeling he was admiring your little bowtie.

You returned the question. “How are you?”

“No need to worry about me tiny friend!!” Sun did a spin, hands closing slightly around you in a protective manner. He’d never once dropped you before, but he was always extra careful anyways. “Today was a little tense for us… A few little friends weren’t playing nice, but they were playing much kinder after Moon had them take a nap! So everything is fine, no need to worry. Also!! Your friends and I were just talking about having a tea party, would you like to join us??”

Something about Sun's tone had made you wary, but the mention of a new game immediately stole your attention. “Tea party??” You’d never played that game before! “Sure!”

Sun happily carried you across the entire daycare in a flash, bringing you to join a small number of other rats all hanging out at one of the small plastic tables.

Sun set you down at the table, then started setting up while you greeted the others. One of your nest mates was here, RR-TI. They seemed delighted to see you, and you happily waved your tail at them in greeting. Everyone else seemed to have gotten the update already as well; you saw tiny bowties all around.

“Okay, everyone gets their own teacup! And here’s the teapot, and we’ve got snacks too!” Sun set out colorful plastic cups and saucers and a matching teapot, as well as a big plate full of plastic wrapped packs of fazbear-themed animal crackers, all in the shapes of the glamrocks.

Not that any of you could eat or enjoy the snacks, but you didn’t yet know the rules of this game so you couldn’t really say much.

Sun went on. “Tea parties are easy and fun! All you have to do is take turns telling stories. They don’t have to be real, but friendly gossip is encouraged! There is another thing you have to do, but I don’t think it applies to repair rats. You must hold your pinky out like this when you take a sip of tea!” Sun demonstrated, lifting his teacup and sticking his pinky finger up in the air. He tipped the empty cup into his grin. “Mmm, tasty!”

You weren’t the only one confused by the rules of this game. Several rats flashed questions at once, and a small chorus of chirps started up.

“But the cups are all empty!”

“Are the snacks like points? Do we earn them later?”

“How do you win tea party?”

“What kind of stories do we tell?”

Sun gently set his teacup down on his saucer. “There’s no points in tea parties, sillies! This isn’t a game you win or loose, its just a fun pretend game!”

“Pretend?” You and the other rats shared confused looks.

“Yes, pretend! You act like something is true, even if it’s not! For fun! Here, why don’t I start us off since you all seem a little confused…” Sun took the teapot and carefully poured nothing at all into his teacup. He lifted his cup next. “I was chatting with the mermaids earlier and you’ll never believe what they told me! They said that miss Roxanne Wolf can count all the way to one trillion! And she’s the best at it, too!!”

“I can count to one trillion. That’s not very hard,” RR-TI said.

A few other rats agreed.

“Who are the mermaids?” another rat wondered. “I’ve never seen a ‘mermaid’ in the building before.”

“There are no mermaids! Just like there is no tea,” Sun explained.

“No mermaids??” Your friends just looked more confused. “But you claimed to have spoken with them a minute ago?”

“That was just pretend. I made it up!” Sun said patiently. He took another ‘sip’ from his empty teacup, pinky raised.

“Made it up?? But why?” RR-TI asked.

“For fun! I thought it would make for a more interesting story. That’s what’s fun about tea parties, you can tell any kind of stories you like! It’s just for fun, just pretend!” Sun gestured to you. “Why don’t you give it a try?”

You froze up, still confused as to how this game worked. “Um…” You scrambled to come up with the correct way to take your turn. Sun had said there was no winning or loosing, not even any points, so you supposed it didn’t matter much if you messed up. Still, you were at a bit of a loss. “I… was talking to… the werewolves, and they told me… Montgomery Gator makes delicious soup?” You sniffed at your cup, but there was still no tea in it, and you had no pinky finger to lift regardless.

“Not bad!!” Sun applauded your efforts.

“I just used your story as a template and replaced a few details,” you admitted.

“I could tell! That’s okay though, you still did really good for your first try, even if it wasn’t entirely original. That's how we learn best sometimes! Am I right to think that maybe you're all still a little lost?"

You and the others all agreed- this new game was very confusing.

"I don't know how to play this game correctly," you told Sun.

"There's not really a right or wrong way to play pretend! All you have to do is have fun with it," Sun said.

How strange. All the games you'd played prior had been very structured. There were rules, points, strategy. You'd had a lot of fun with those, but now that you were thinking about it, you weren't even sure how 'fun' was supposed to work. If the only important rule of this tea party game was to have fun and 'pretend'… you actually had no idea how to go about either of those tasks.

Looking around, you saw your other rat friends at the table were in much the same predicament. You noticed the sub-network you and all the other repair rats in the building shared had a few low priority query pings on it.

Task Assistance: How to fun?

Task Assistance: How to pretend?

These queries gathered more confused questioning from other rats than answers.

"You all still look pretty confused. Let me ask you all this… what things do you think are fun?" Sun asked, folding his arms over the table.

"Chess is fun!" RR-TI said. A few other rats agreed.

"Tag is fun," another rat chimed in.

"The arcade machine tasks are fun," you added.

A different rat chittered at you and shook their head. "Arcade tasks are NOT fun. Those are boring."

You were about to defend your favorite task when Sun jumped back in.

"That's all great!! And remember that sometimes different things are more fun for different people!" Sun pat you and your almost-enemy on your heads with gentle fingertips. "Think about that feeling you get when you do these things. It's a lighthearted pleasure, feels just like a fresh charge, right?"

You and the others agreed with this.

Sun gestured with his hands while he explained, the bells on his wrists jingling merrily. "The best kind of fun, in my opinion, is when you have fun doing something that isn't also a task that needs doing, or a chore that needs completing. Although those can be fun too! But my favorite fun is when you do it just simply to have fun! Pretend is really great for that, because there's no other tasks to it! No points or scores or winning or loosing, you just be silly and playful and it's fun!"

"No task? Just fun??" RR-TI wondered.

You thought you were starting to understand. You weren't sure if you could do anything if it wasn't a task of some sort, but you were willing to try. "I think I get it. Can I try again?"

Sun nodded happily. "Of course!!"

You raised your tail and started another 'pretend' story. "I was doing my tasks the other day… when… the whole building flooded! There was water everywhere, and I had to swim around to find… the drain. To get rid of the water! But I couldn't find it… And then Sun's mermaid friends came along and helped me find it, and I opened the drain, and the water went away."

Sun applauded, ecstatic over your efforts. "That was really great!! Good job, I loved it! You even remembered my mermaids, how sweet!"

You were delighted with the praise. Was pretend really that easy? All you had to do was tell lies, essentially. But in a way that was, undoubtedly, fun.

The other rats seemed to be catching on as well.

"Okay! I have a story too," RR-TI said.

"Tell us the gossip!!" Sun exclaimed, setting his face plate atop his hands, his elbows on the table.

"Freddy Fazbear… has a secret golden hat that can… turn you into a plant when you wear it!" RR-TI proclaimed.

"Ooooh no way! I had no idea!" Sun put his hands over his grin in surprise.

"He doesn't really, that I know of. I made it up," RR-TI assured.

"That's right, I'm playing along! That can be part of the fun, like how tiny friend- er, RR-YN mentioned my mermaids in their story," Sun explained.

"Oh!" RR-TI nodded in understanding.

You and the other rats and Sun went around taking turns 'gossiping' and telling outlandish stories. You even played off each other, referencing the other's tall tales in your stories, or mentioning that one of the others had been there for the fictitious events, so they could play along with it.

Sun would occasionally sip his nonexistent tea, pinky out, and you realized that was part of the fun too. Pretending there was tea in the cup. For your next story, you pretended there was tea in your cup as well, and braced your paws on the rim to act out sticking your nose in the cup and taking sips of tea. You proclaimed the tea to be delicious, and Sun thanked you kindly and told you he'd made it himself from scratch.

It was strange, but you really were having fun. There was no task, no points to win or loose. You were just being silly and saying silly things just for the delight of it. Your friends were all in on it as well and would play along with you, and you were all having fun together.

When it came time for Moon's turn, you and the other rats were practically experts at tea party. The lights all dimmed and Moon's glowing red optics were met with a small crowd of delighted blinking little lights and happy squeaking.

"Moon, guess what! I was turned into an octopus the other day!" RR-TI declared.

"I'm the one who turned them into an octopus!" another rat chimed in.

"…Ah. I see Sun has taught you all the vital skill of lying," Moon said, squatting in typical hunched fashion where Sun had been sitting.

"Fun lying," you corrected.

"And you're all making noises now too. Sun did leave a note about that." Moon watched you all with amusement. Your rat friends were going back and forth now about octopus sorcery.

"There was an update earlier. I would have turned my sound settings off but Sun seemed deeply upset at the idea," you said.

Moon's eye lights rolled. "Typical. He mentioned no less than four times in his note how adorable you sound. They're just silly rat noises."

"I can turn them off for you, if you would rather," you offered.

"…I didn't say that." Moon absently picked up his teacup and 'sipped' his tea.

"Pinky out!!" several rats cried.

Moon scoffed. "That's Sun's silly rule he got from the kids."

"It's one of the only rules of tea time. You have to stick your pinky out," RR-TI insisted. The other rats backed them up with affirming squeaks.

"I don't see any of you sticking your pinkies out," Moon said.

"Sun says repair rats are exempt from the rule, since we don't have pinkies," another rat told him.

"Unbelievable. Bending the rules for just anyone… what has the humble tea party come to." Moon 'tsk'ed and took another sip of tea, still not abiding by the 'pinky out' rule.

Your rat friends were all in distress over the broken rule, but you knew just what to do.

"Well you know what happens when you break the rules of tea party…" you started.

"What, will you put me in time out? I'd like to see you try, tiny terror." Moon spun his face plate at you.

"I don't need to… I've already poisoned your tea while you weren't looking," you said.

Moon froze, then stared down at his teacup. He gasped and dropped the cup, then dramatically gripped at his chest. "You poisoned me?! The betrayal…!"

"We warned you not to break the rules." You shook your head at Moon.

"Grahh!" Moon gasped and coughed, then fell backwards. He lifted a shaking hand into the air, then proclaimed one final "blegh." before going limp and laying still on the floor.

Your rat friends all chirped and cheered, popcorn jumping about, delighted by the performance. Moon laughed quietly from the floor.

The night went on, and your friends came and went. Some had tasks to do, others needed to charge. You stayed with Moon and kept an eye on the network, where word of playing pretend had spread like wildfire. There were now lots of low priority 'pretend tasks' with nonsensical assignments like 'create a dragon' or 'repair the air' or 'fix 20 turtles'. A few rats were 'completing' these and adding task notes like 'the dragon is my friend now. We are going to go bowling together'.

Despite this newfound love of silly pretend games, there was something still bothering you in the back of your mind. You turned to Moon as he cleaned up the game of checkers you'd been only half focusing on. It had been just you and Moon at the table for a while, though a few of your rat friends were currently playing tag on the other side of the daycare.

"Hey Moon… how was your day today?" you asked.

Moon paused, glancing up at you briefly before resuming his counting of the pieces. "Fine."

"Are you sure?"

Moon didn't look at you this time. He recounted the pieces. "What did Sun tell you?"

"He mentioned something about a few little friends not playing nice, but they were better after a nap," you told him.

"That's all?"

You nodded. "Is there something else?"

"…" Moon put the lid on the box and tapped his fingers rhythmically over the colorful cardboard surface. "A parent was rude with us is all. Happens all the time."

"But it still bothered you?" you pressed.

"It bothered Sun. I'm totally fine," Moon insisted, laying his hands down firmly on the box.

"Oh, I didn't realize we were still playing pretend."

Moon shot you a look. He set the game aside and folded his arms. "…Fine. I'm slightly bothered. But it's stupid and doesn't matter. I shouldn't be upset."

"I don't think it's stupid," you told him.

"…Thanks, tiny terror," Moon mumbled quietly. "It actually is nothing major, just irritating is all, when parents are rude and impatient with us. Sun already forgot all about it when he learned you make little rat noises now."

You were pleased to know you'd managed to cheer up Sun without even really trying. He really hadn't seemed too bothered, beyond the intentionally vague recollection of how his day had been. You'd have to talk to him about that later and make sure he knew he could tell you about things like this if he wanted. As for Moon, on the other hand…

"How about you, are you feeling better about it now?" you asked. "Would looking at my new little bowtie help??"

Moon laughed lightly. "It is a very stylish little addition. I'm doing much better now, tiny friend. Thank you for listening."

You would smile if you could. You straightened up and chirped happily. "You're welcome!" You paused as you realized something. "Hey, you called me 'tiny friend' instead of 'tiny terror'!"

Moon folded his arms and swiveled his head around to face the opposite direction. "Did not."

"You did!"

"Your new update must have an audio processing bug." Moon snatched up the checkers box and quickly left to go put it away.

You played with your friends the rest of the night, and soon it was time to charge, and Sun and Moon had to get ready for the day. You read over the pretend tasks on your way back to the nest, delighting at some of the tomfoolery taking place in the network.

You settled down to charge, eager to welcome a new day of tasks and unrelated fun. As you powered down, you thought you might just leave your new noise settings on after all.

Mochi & Lime on a costco/sam's club bulk buy run not to feed a bunch of mouths but one singular giant mouth (Lime)

HONESTLY on top of limes bottomless pit for a stomach they ALSO have to feed a family of 6 (mochi, lime, coco, oscar, taffy, and pom who eats human food even though she doesnt need to just to feel included) PLUS have extra for occasional guests (because both tiramisu and lady magg-lynn would kill mochi if they found out she was being a bad host and not feeding her guests

and by "guests" i largely mean people who are questionably friends with mochi who invite themselves over (like sulluvan, marshal, corven, the girl from the m34th who likes lime, ikasumi, lady magg-lynn herself, etc)

#fucking two costco carts full of food and thats like a once a week / once every two week trip #but mochi and lime both enjoy it cuz its like a little date night where they go eat costco food for dinner and not tell anyone else #walk around eating the snacks #sometimes coco or oscar want to come along but as soon as they ask they can mochi is sad girl hours cuz she wanted lime alone time #so they feebly go (oh....nevermind i changed my mind haha....(yikes..))#worth noting pom also doesnt need to eat so she doesnt get FULL and mochi needs to make sure she doesnt eat everything

Hiiii! Who was the bartender in your Kyle fic? I don't recognize her character and you never put her name. I'm really sorry to bug you! It was just soooooo good!!!

Oh it's no bother at all! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

She's a very old OC of mine, she wasn't made for South Park. If I need a bartender at a tavern/saloon/inn when I DM she is who's usually behind the bar. It's kind of become a running joke so I sneak her sometimes!

Her name is Enders!

That picture is outdated. I should fix that.

#yeeeeesh I haven't drawn her in a while #I should #if I can find the time #with snow day out and my soulmate au #I don't think it'll be anytime soon #but thank you anon #I'm so glad you enjoyed it!#Enders #for those of you who read my tags #she was originally a mha oc lmao #shhh don't tell anyone #shhh its a secret #anon ask #i do for you anon #not a request #oc art #my oc

See the thing about my job is that it’s incredibly physically draining and this further exacerbates the COVID fatigue I never fully recovered from because I ✨didn’t take time off and kept working instead✨

But the OTHER thing about my job is that like,,,, yeah I AM exhausted and dying but do you know how many puppies and kitties I get to pet in a day??? Today I got to carry a yorkie around that was the size of a squirrel. He gave me kisses. He was such a good boy.

#nsfwitchytalks #old woman yells at cloud #idk I keep thinking about this because it’s like…. hard to explain????#I feel bad cause I keep telling people I can’t talk to them or do things because I’m tired #but then I post a bunch of cute stories from my job #and it’s like. I AM tired.#I NEED to monitor and limit how much energy I exert #because I’m exhausted #I was in the hospital #and then I had to fill out tons of paperwork for workers comp #like as SOON as I got out of the hospital #and then I got life insurance and that was its own hassle #and then I got COVID #and I didn’t really take time off so I got hella burnt out #but…. I do genuinely enjoy my job #so it’s hard to be like ‘yeah I’m tired btw here’s all the fun shit I did’

I started playing Breath of the Wild.

I'm... uhhhh... not impressed so far?

I mean graphically I've seen indie games that do a much better job in a similar style.

It's so big and that's neat but it's also about 89% directionless.

I've been retold the same story by about 4 different NPCs now. None of them added anything to it, just repeated the same thing.

And this is unrelated to the game but my god the Switch controller is going to drive me batshit insane. Tap the joystick and Link runs 2.3 miles, hurtling himself off a cliff. Tap the joystick and jump and Link will jump straight into the air and then belly flop into an abyss. Joycons are so flimsy, I have the drift, and I'm unwilling to buy a pro controller because why would I spend $80 on a controller for a system I rarely use.

Partly on the controller/system and partly on the game but I feel more frustrated than happy about playing this game. I'm still really early in (maybe like 4-5 hours of playtime?) so there's still a chance I'll pull a 180 about the game and come to really love it but atm... nah.

#easy as pie #pie plays #'botw is such an experience' people keep telling me #yeah the experience is frustration and suffering #i know i sound really negative but i truly WANT to enjoy the game and i hope ill get the hang of it and things will turn around soon #or maybe its just not the game for me idk
