Song of the Day: December 2

"Money Honey" by State of Shock

#song of the day #see me cooking breakfast-for-dinner doing a little hipshaking dance singing this song a capella like it's bouncy happy pop music #Duncan going 'I don't....think that's how it goes?' #consider: if you only sing the melody it doesn't matter how much the original is or isn't a rock song #and if they didn't want me to sing it like this they shouldn't have made it so hipshakable #flipping my hashbrowns belting out 'if I had more money honey would you love me love me love me' having a damn good time #(I slept three separate one hours yesterday but I don't feel like all my cartilage has been replaced with moldy cardboard yet #so the sleep debt can't be that bad)

I know Reigen practically speaking isn’t that good of a boss. (he’s getting better! I’m aware! It’s a plot point in the manga!). His appeal lies in his teaching, not his bussiness management. If he was a real person, you would never want to work for him, right?

So from what I saw so far I think most of us would want all the Mob Psycho kids work somewhere else and earn more than minimum wage. Plus trying to figure out what Mob or Tome or Teru will do in the future is fun because, honestly, everything goes with these kids. (Serizawa is usually excluded from this trend due to shipping reasons). Grow up, move on, stretch your wings and fly and all that.

But. Imagine. The comedic potential. All of them working somewhere else after working for Reigen.

Reigen is not only a weird person, he’s such a weird BOSS, but he is a primary example of a businessman to all the main cast. They must have at least few skewed views on what a boss of company does.

Pray for their future employer.

#tome: we're working on Saturday right? I'll bring my friends to the office to hang out #mob: thank you for giving me minimum wage at what days do we go out for ramen and will you be duducting our dinners out of my pay or nah #ritsu: I WILL bite you at the earliest convenience. Being a boss is a federal crime. I'm doing my part here #serizawa: oh my hair is getting longer when do you have time to cut it? #teru: if you want to be my boss you have to adopt me. yes I know I'm an adult do it #their boss who would like to have a normal interaction at some point: what #mob psycho 100 #reigen arataka #bonus!reigen: what do you MEAN you won't risk your life and well-being and reputation for your employees #this is one of reigen's special moves: not knowing how a normal work relationship works #bonus!shou: imagine having to work to earn money haha I'm rich

What do you mean I have to get up and do the work if I wanna try to make money <- guy who has been doing work nonstop and needs to give it a fucking rest

#can finally do some delivery stuff and like. idk. i dont wanna get in my car at 7pm and start driving? i wanna stay home and make dinner #and maybe go to bed early. the bar is quite low. my god. i need to take a step back i think #i'm down to 4 work days a week! wanting to see if i can restructure how i view money and bills and start taking it even easier #i already have some motivation coming back! i wanna write actually! got my laptop out of my room and sitting in the living room #been slowly working on some art too and i'm hoping it'll keep getting worked on #thinking like. wanting to let myself start to relax as much as i can before i start jumping into other projects? #just to back off work and come back to some roots #thinking out loud; not feeling particularly bad! actually feeling pretty alright #shai speaks

#I feel genuinely stupid for trying to throw my friend a bday party #and it’s not turning out how I’d like and I just feel dumb #which sounds very dramatic and it’s not about me cause it’s not my birthday /gen #but I put so much money and time and effort into planning a surprise for her and basically everyone bailed #and every time I’m the one trying to put something on nobody wants to come ! #besides the same 3 people ! #and it hurts my feelings 🫶 #and I wanted to do something nice for my best friend so I put this whole party together #when I could have probably spent less money that I no longer have on taking the four of us - #to a yummy dinner and bowling like my friend loves to do #anyways I’m going to set it up and then lay in the street #elle speaks

Mom was right, we will find people who get us.

#I wish I could go back to child me and tell them that #yes there’s people outside of that one or two people who’ll enjoy your company #yes there’s people who will be silly with you #yes we are still unashamedly ourselves #yes we still climb trees and collect rocks and weeds #yes we still accidentally blurt things outloud #yes we’re still dramatic in our body language because we never ‘grew out of it’ #yes we still love shitty horror movies and fun cartoons #yes we still watch documentaries #we are still as fond of nature and in fact we’re now studying it #yes we still draw and read like it’s the last day on earth #now we have some money and we can treat friends out for dinner #now we can take mom out for lunch #we learned how to kayak and paddle board just as we always wanted #we take the dogs with us and they love it especially because they get a treat after #we can drive now and we’re planning on meeting people over the summer #we haven’t stopped being weird #and we found the weirdos who enjoy our company

trying to figure out a way to express to my family that what they’re trying to do is making me feel v uncomfortable in lots of different ways

#fae’s vent #like yeah buying me dinner on a day where i’ll be alone for is sweet but that’s not what i want nor did i ask for that #i wanted to vent a little bit. not have a production made from me venting #plus money is tight rn for them all for various reasons i don’t want it to me /more/ tight bc of me #idk if they all say they can afford it it just doesn’t sit right with me #plus!!! i have a meal planned for wednesday and it’s a waste to not have it cooked on the day!! #bc it’s reheating a meal and not reheating it with the amount i cooked means it’ll go bad if it’s not reheated ergo waiting it #i also know that they’ll probably do the same near/on my bday so like why do it twice? #idk i just hate extra attention/random money spent on me and they don’t understand that #and every time my foot is put down about /my/ boundaries i feel ignored #i vented not to be pitied but to let it out. it has been let out and now i feel my feelings are ignored which misses the point of me venting #and makes me more frustrated

What really pisses me off when people are like. No child should be friends with an adult; it’s (insert word/phrase that has been misused so much it’s kinda ceased to have meaning to me anymore) is… My older friends? Even though I’m 28 and yknow. An Adult. Have literally saved my life. Like not only do they have more knowledge about how things work (like Medicaid and food stamps and student loans and resumes and and and all the other shit nobody bothers to teach you and can be hella confusing/nearly inaccessible unless you Know but is hella important/can really fuck up your life if you’re not careful) and like…more experience so when they tell you “it’s gonna be hard, but you can handle it” or “I know it looks scary, but it’s not that bad and I promise you’ll get through it” or “it doesn’t matter if don’t graduate college, look at me. I didn’t. I’ve got a stable, well paying job. It’s not impossible to be comfortable without a college degree. And look at (other friend who is sitting right next to them), they worked their ass off for a double degree and currently not using it! You’ll be okay, you’ll figure it out.” your brain can actually believe them cuz yknow. They’ve been where you are. They have that life experience. And they’re not gonna lie to you because they love you and respect you too much to do that.

Like I don’t want to make it sound like friendship is a commodity, but older friends and intergenerational friendships can be so extremely valuable, especially to vulnerable younger people in abusive households. And I don’t even mean like in that they can offer you a place to crash cuz not every friend is gonna be able to do that and that’s OKAY. But maybe they can still help you in other ways. Even if it’s “just” holding your hand and validating your fears while you cry your eyes out but reassuring you that they believe in your ability to work through it. They believe in *you*. (And yes, I REALLY appreciate the same sentiment from friends my age and it’s also extremely helpful and I love them so very much. But it just sorta hits in a different way coming from an older friend. Not in a way that’s better or worse. Just different.)

Also something something seeing that you have a future when you can’t see past the next year or six months is just. So fucking reassuring.

Also. Older friends are just plain fun. I love my older friends and my life would be so much poorer without them. So yknow. Fuck people that condemn intergenerational friendships.

Also also something something something ‘fuck you for making me feel terrible/paranoid about wanting to offer my own experience to those younger than me. To help them in any way I can. As another fantastic and dearly beloved friend says. “If you start sounding like my mental illness, YOU are the problem and maybe need to re-evaluate some things.”’

#ignore me #im just all up in my feels about that time my friend twisted around from the passenger seat of the car to hold my hand and comfort me while #I was crying and terrified about the upcoming semester. that said it IS actually not good that you’re having panic attacks and chest pains #just thinking about going back. and was so kind and understanding and calm and she listened and held my hand. or the other friend who grew #up with little financial security. worked two jobs to pay her college tuition because her parents just didn’t have the means to help her. #and now she’s married to a surgeon and EXTREMELY financially secure and because of her own experience she is just soooo. im gonna pay for #your dinner because I can and it won’t affect me or stress me at all and I want you to save your money. and if you need money for some #reason just let me know and we’ll figure it out because I have the means to help in this way and I’m gonna do it dammit and if you need to #or the friend that sincerely told me to call her if I needed someone to talk to. even if it’s the ass crack of dawn or 3 in the morning. #or my friend (my Person) who when I asked if it was okay to tell my cousin her address while visiting her so my cousin could pick me for #dinner. said ‘of course you can. this is your home too’ (home as in your safe here and home as in you are loved here and home as in you will #always be welcome here.) #like…just. intergenerational friendships guys #they are literally lifesaving #don’t deny young people these friendships #but as someone who has also been the Older Friend #don’t make them feel bad for just loving and caring about another human being #that’s what we do. that’s what humanity is #i scream into the void #personal

assassin himeru au

#<- filled with thoughts about a slightly off version of the main story #where himeru and kohaku are hired by two different sides (godfather + es?) to take out rinne and niki #because they've been doing a lot of under the table activities during their lives and shit #i was telling lis maybe theyve been wanted for robbery or smth but they're stealing money thats being laundered by these sides that theyve #managed to get details on the meetings on or whatever and they redistribute it back to the people who it was stolen from #or barring that if they cant figure it out for whatever reason just redistributing it to people who need it and reporting the crimes to the #government or whatever. and himeru and kohaku have to have a 'are we the baddies' moment while they've got #knives to rinne and nikis throats (i need himeru and rinne to be paired + niki and kohaku #bc of REASONS like rinne is the only one who can worm his way into meru's mind like that bc he's annoying #and niki really just shows genuine kindness to both of them but particularly kohaku and kohaku is like. #is this what it feels like to have someone care about you unconditionally #as niki is talking about what they're doing for dinner that night and trying not to cry as kohaku struggles to keep going with his plan #) and anyway they have a we're the baddies moment and turn coat and now they form crazyb to be like. double face if it was worse at #their job. you get me? #shay speaks

*emits an unending high pitched whine*

#already feeling tired/burnt out today #get sent more essays to work on #make dinner instead of getting take out like a good budget-conscious adult #something went very chemically strange with my pasta and made a huge mess #which i am just ignoring #even though future jenna will suffer for it #when am i gonna have the energy to do these fucking essays #why am i doing freelance work on top of a full time job #(it's for the money because the full time job pays very little :|) #and also to not inconvenience my aunt who i do freelance work for #because i don't want to disappoint anyone ever #ahhhhhhhhhhh #this got to a point where it should have been a read more instead of a tag rant #but i am not going to retype it now #pers

scarcity mindset

#my brain is so annoying #bc if it’s not obvious i was raised w money #(dad got paid in USD in brasil + saved up + we lived in an apartment instead of a house) #(we also had AC + ate out at least once a week + went to rio once every few months) #but my parents raised us to only want to buy necessities #and take advantage of every deal!!! #and that’s evolved into #1) me only going into the office today bc they serve lunch #2) me going to the office w tupperware to take extra lunch for dinner #even tho i can obviously afford food (both takeout + cooking) #and like #idk #in my head i tell myself #‘u have free food for half the week so that makes all other food 50% off’ #and then i buy a Big Lunch in the weekend #which i save for weekend dinner #and tell myself ‘it’s actually 75% off bc math’ #and idk #this is prob just normal ppl stuff #but then i see my co-workers throw away food at lunch #and i’m like ‘maybe i (the only tupperware bringer) am not normal’ #the adjustment period of learning to manage Adult Job Money For Living rather than College Job Money For Having Fun #dash rambles #first world problems #pls ignore bc ik i sound annoying

Otis started eating again last week so that's a relief! Gonna take him back up to 2 mice next week and the week after so he's well fed when we go away ❤️

#red said #Otis thinks kingsnakes brumate. he's wrong in general but it doesn't seem to negatively affect his health #he spends most of his time from September on ignoring food and spending all day and night sleeping in his house #not the warm house. btw. the one at the cooler end of the viv. #if we take him out he's happy enough to just chill in our hands or pockets whereas in the summer he's a big zoomer #so he's not eaten since i think late October but he got hungry again recently which is always good #like i know he can comfortably go months without eating but i prefer he periodically demonstrates he still can and will eat if he wants to #last year it super worried us so we took him to the vet and the vet was like. not only is he fine he's thriving #he's a big beefy muscle boy he's not losing weight or strength he legit just doesn't need food right now #but it stresses me when he gets over 6 weeks without eating so THANKS FOR GETTING HUNGRY AGAIN BUD ❤️ #ALSO TBH mice ain't free i don't like having to throw them out #EAT YOUR DINNER WE PAID GOOD MONEY FOR 🙄
