i seriously need to get a new job and start making money again asap bc i cannot keep living at home much longer it’s driving me insane

(wrote an entire essay in the tags without meaning to oops)

#i feel so isolated from everything bc i’m not in school rn but all my friends are and 90% of the ones who are in state go to the same school #so they’re all in the same town and here i am 45 minutes away #i never get invited to anything bc 1) my friends all tend to make plans really last minute #and 2) if we want to go out and drink - which we usually do bc that’s the stage of life we’re in rn - i’d have to stay the night with #someone bc i absolutely cannot afford a 45 minute uber home and most of my friends don’t like staying over / having people stay over #so i have basically no social life and it’s only gotten worse in the past couple months since i got laid off from my main job #not only did i love that job but i loved my coworkers and work was pretty much the only time i left the house and interacted with people #and without that job i can’t even do the little solo things i used to do to cheer myself up like go see a movie #or even just go for a long drive bc i’m broke (as in i have $17 in cash to my name and am like $1000 in debt rn) #so all i do is rot in bed all day and apply for jobs that i’m overqualified for yet still don’t get hired #i barely even leave my room bc i avoid my family which just makes me feel guilty bc i love my family #but they get on my nerves so easily and most of the conversations i have with my mom end in her lecturing me about something and me crying #and on top of everything it’s just straight up embarrassing to be unemployed and completely directionless about college and living at home #logically i know i’m still very young and it’s common to live at home when you’re 20 but literally none of my friends do #i had a couple friends who lived at home for the first 2 years after high school and went to community college but by now they’ve moved out #and they’re all at universities and either graduating this year or next year meanwhile the earliest i could possibly graduate is in 2 years #i should be finishing my junior year rn but i’ve only completed my freshman year #i hated the school i was at and planned on transferring sophomore year but long story short that didn’t work out #even longer story short i ended up doing a semester each at 2 different community colleges and failed all my classes both times #and took 2 semesters off so now i’m a full 2 years behind and even though my freshman year was miserable #i’m starting to wish i stayed at that school anyway bc at least i would be at a university and accomplishing something #plus theres a huge difference between staying at home for a couple years after high school then moving out later #vs living on your own right away then having to move back home after you’ve already experienced having your own space #and on top of everything i have an older sister who’s a literal genius and graduated last year #and a younger sister who just finished her freshman year at the school i hated but she loves it and got perfect grades and made friends #so they’re both thriving and here i am living with my mom and my 13 year old brother and just completely failing at everything #i’m just so miserable and obviously moving out again and going back to school wouldn’t magically fix everything #but at least i would feel like my life was going somewhere and i wasn’t getting left behind by everyone i know #i just have no idea how to move forward and i feel like ever since high school not a single thing has gone the way i wanted it to #vent

Random thought but if Kai was a professional sports player which sport would u pick for him??

Okay for the first time, I am high-key struggling with this. I used to play a number of sports in high school, and watched several in college, too, but looking at this question, my mind has just gone blank. But it's been sitting in my inbox long enough so I better answer it before I feel too bad. 😅

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

So, first I thought maybe soccer, because it's not too much contact but is still considered a contact sport. I feel like Kai's someone who's not a fan of his personal space being invaded, so I can't see him doing [american] football or anything like that. Plus, he's kinda a little guy, but not a delicate little guy, so he's capable of contact sports, but I can't see him doing collision-heavy sports like football.

Then I considered rugby, where there's more contact than soccer, but still not as much as football. I feel like rugby is a sport where fights break out a lot, and Kai would 100% be involved in a sports' related fight. Hockey, too, maybe, if we're taking fighting into account. 😂 And Oregon's relatively close to Canada, so hockey is probably at least somewhat prevalent.

If you didn't say professional sports player, I would've said track and field, and went with the storyline that his mom signed him up when he was in middle school and he got stuck in it. She wanted him to be amongst his peers but not in a contact sport, and decided that was the perfect option. He complained almost daily.

That, or in high school, he played basketball for the sole purpose of getting to watch cheerleaders. He'd be purposely bad so he'd always be out and could watch them instead of playing. But professionally, he wouldn't do basketball; I just can't see it.

Volleyball, I can see him playing professionally. It's fast-paced (as are most sports), but not so much that you can't catch your breath every once in a while. It isn't a contact sport, and requires a lot of reliance on your teammates. If Kai was a professional sports player without his trauma, he'd probably play this, although with his trauma, I'm not so sure.

Last but not least (I certainly didn't almost forget about this one), he might play baseball. I don't really know why, he just kinda has the vibes. Plus, baseball players tend to be the cutest of sports players, and he would much enjoy the attention he'd be sure to receive. Oh! And there's that detail where he had a backpack full of every Alex Rodriguez baseball card, so canonically, he's a big baseball fan.

Now...

Most likely NOT:

swimming - I read a fic awhile back that said he didn't know how to swim, yet in the '94 PW would keep going back in the ocean / water anyway & would continuously drown, and I feel like that's pretty on par for Kai

basketball - just seems too fast-paced, & I can see him doing it in high school, but not professionally

wrestling - just no... he likes touching people but not that much, 😅 or that could just be me, who absolutely hates wrestling

Most likely:

rugby - contact but not collision; he'd be a fight-picker

baseball - canonically a fan + the attention + vibes

Winner: Baseball

Once I remembered the Alex Rodriguez detail, it sold it for me. Plus you can't tell me he wouldn't just love getting girls' attention with that uniform. 😂 It's also not a sport that's too dependent on your teammates, and also not too much of a contact sport. Seems like a good middle ground for him.

#i looked up a list of sports to do this and one of them was bowling #how tf is bowling a sport #anyway #i'm so sorry this took me so long #i finally got a minute to think today and was able to answer😂 #kai parker #the vampire diaries #if you're curious i played volleyball and soccer in hs #and 1 year basketball; 2 years cheerleading #but also danced for 12 years; maybe kai would dance too idk #definitely has the form for it if he can get over 80s/90s stigma about men dancing

I swear to god, if Taylor Swift ends up being the reason I take up running and stick to it, it’s going to be the most embarrassing but also on-brand thing that’s ever happened to me

#someone on tiktok put together a couch to eras tour running challenge which has phases like couch to 5k; 5k to 10k; 10k to 10 miles #then 10 miles to essentially ‘you can now run for so long you could basically do the eras tour if taylor was MIA’ #so i read the instructions and i was like well. i have a treadmill so i basically have no excuse not to do this #week 1 is 1989 so i walked to ‘blank space’ at about 3mph to warm up and then did intermittent walking; jogging & running to style; ootw; #wildest dreams and you are in love. you walk verses; run choruses & sprint bridges #i have a persistent knee injury so i decided to interpret run as jog & did it at about 5mph and sprint as run & went up to about 7mph #at the highest because i didn’t want to throw my knee out #like it’s functional but i still have pains and i don’t really want to explain to my physio that i broke myself by trying to do a tiktok #challenge. like i can’t imagine that going over well #anyway. it was fun! it took 20 minutes in total #i do think i will have to adjust my schedule at some point because right now my day 6 ‘long run’ coincides with thursdays which is when #i have pilates which i would rather be a cross-training day for obvious reasons #my cross-training day would otherwise be a tuesday and what the hell am i going to do on a tuesday #honestly even a saturday would be acceptable for cross-training because sometimes i go swimming with my friend on saturdays #and yeah we usually take her kiddo and we just bounce around in a circle but i can always break off from them and do a few lengths #or just tread water and let the kid smack me with a pool noodle. idk #i just honestly felt like if i didn’t start this today i’d never end up doing it. so. i started it #i’m now going to tell everyone i know so that they’ll bully me by asking if i ran that day #ooooooh you know what’d probably work as motivation?!?! i could ban myself from listening to taylor when i’m not running #it will also keep me from getting sick of her. which… i don’t think will happen anyway because it would’ve happened already let’s be real #i have been a fan of hers since i was 12 years old. i lived through the drought. like… #if i get sick of anything it’ll be the first few songs on the setlist playlist but! we’ll worry about that when we get there #personal

In one hour I managed to humiliate myself so badly

#astral writes #you know when you fuck up in a game #and no one points it out #and then you have to be reminded after 1 minute #the teacher probably thinks I’m a dumbass #and I tried so hard to keep up #i also took long to write notes #since the guy infront of me was blocking the view

Where's she going

#i was literally joining co op foghts earlier because i was bored #and like #this ei was in geo dog's domain (everyone is dead and its hydro electro) with like 1 ping #tbf. none of us were using gro and or shields so. like unless you do stupid damage in 3 seconds you have to shield #also earlier i was a kazuha w a kuki in ri's boss fight (person who made the co op dird and other player left) #so it was me surviving with my hp build and the kuki healing me. while it took us like five years (over ten minutes) to kill her just so t #this guy could win and get the weekly thing #like. i havent played in over a year (since al hait them) so. i am rusty and also on pc instead of mobile #so i had to relearn the controls in like a day and get my keyboard lights on so i wouldnt press q instead of w #i should change it to some other shit but. i keep forgor #however i have been.gaming today because most of.my builds are pretty strong and like #i was grinding before i stopped playing so. they got good artifacts #however i dont use my hu tao anymorr because shes so fragile #i literally use my afk team.of (someone) yae albedo and zh ongli #i saw someone because i either use plat fox kazoo or like. some other person who i can rely on #sometimes ei sometimes like. ehoever i have on hand that is needed (like mona or koko mi) #my fish is only at like. 80 though i dotn want to get the perals for her it takes so long #that and i hate the specters they kinda suck ass to fight #i literally like fighting the clock fuckers more tham the specters like. yeah #shiko speaks

Slowly but surely watching the fated campaign and considering the fact that the braxxi ship is technically canon. Does this mean that taxis gf at the beginning dies or something? Im only on ep 2 so-

The year is 2022 and I am a little guy legally married to Makarov Dreyar of the Fairy Tail Guild, as 13 year old me would have wanted.

Self Insert and just straight up Making Things Up about Fairy Tail Lore beneath the cut

So, in the world of Fairy Tail I am a Vampire, pushing 600 years old. I’m lifting a lot of this from young mes original self insert which pushed the Immortal Loli/Shota trope, so I am Makarov’s 3′nothing size.

The rest of this is more origonal

In his 600 years, Emile became the (to his knowledge) last living pure blooded vampire, as much like Dragons, Vampires were eventually hunted to near extinction by humans after catting and feeding of them for so long.

Emile survived due to his small stature and young appearance, keeping humans from believing him to be the immortal creature of the night that had been feeding from their village for years.

Now alone, Emile travels the continent, avoiding staying in one place for too long, inventing Magic Items such as The Magicmobile to assist humans, and gather a growing wealth deposited in banks across the land.

To gain access to these springs of wealth, however, he has to be a legal citizen of the country he is currently staying it. As he can’t exactly claim to be the 100+ year old original opener of the account, he instead has to play the decedent. Starting first with forged documents, he puts himself in schools, moving every other grade to avoid suspicion as he doesn’t age or grow, and ending with a big of Marriage Fraud to solidify his residency, and gain access to his accounts.

This is how he ended up with Makarov Dreyar, after all the Fairy Tail guild seems to rack up a lot of repair bills, would be rather nice to have someone with plenty of spare wealth to pay it all off.

Emile, as an ancient being, has a lot of deeper understanding of magic than most in the guild. In his time he’s had the space and practice to master most types of magics, only Celestial Magic still eludes him.

He’s more than happy to spread this magic onto others, teaching Cana card magic, Erza her requip spells, helping Mira and Elfman perfect Take Overs, he even implanted the Lighting Dragon Lacrima in Laxus when he was a mere toddler.

Early in Emile’s life in the guild he saw no problem teaching such young children dangerous magics. So long as he’d lived, he knew of human’s short life spans. Keeping the Guild strong mattered more than keeping the kids safe. Sending them on jobs alone, charging them jewel for food or rent around the guild seemed fair. They’re old enough to be part of a guild they’re old enough to work and pay for their rights to stay.

Until Lisanna died.

He hadn’t really thought himself attached to this kids, Makarov’s kids, until he stood beside him at Lisanna’s funeral, staring at a tombstone with such a young age on it.

He did that.

He let a child go on an S class quest. He taught a child dangerous magics. He told Makarov they’d be fine on their own.

Rules changed soon after. Minors were no longer allowed on S Class Quests at all. Minors also were not allowed to take monster hunting jobs without an adult in the party. S Class Quests were moved upstairs and fewer of them were accepted.

Emile started making magic items for everyone in the guild on top of making Erza’s armor and weapons. Just something to help them on quests, a little something to lean on, to keep them safe, to hold on to.

He tries not to be too protective over the kids, he knows they’re goo wizards and can handle themselves. But they’re also just so squishy, humans with such short life spans always running head first into trouble.

He understands why Makarov went bald so quickly now.

#Emile's Arts #Fairy Tail #Self Insert #Self Ship #It's me and my kind of a mary sue self insert because we all get one so I chose the Mary Sue Anime #If you treat Fairy Tail like a Gag Manga it gets better actually dkgjdksjgkf #Okay realy talk I did not expect to get as emotionally attached to the Fairy Tail cast when I started rewatching it this year #Like not only did I fall hard in love with Makarov but the kids started mattering to me right like those are MY KIDS #I have a few plot points I spesifically want to cover for this SI like #In season 1 when Laxus is having his Rebellion arc and Makarov has a heart attack and nearly straight up dies #It's like. Kinda just brushed off in canon like yeah he took his meds he's fine now #In my canon tho he did actually die there #But only for a moment #Being around for 600 years comes with perks including forbidden magics #Death Magic and Life Magic are really one in the same when you've been around long enough #So he swore Porlyusica to secrecy and brought Makarov back #Then another thing I know the lack of healing magic is like. A Thing right like support Magic is a forgotten art form #And I wrote it off for the thing I said a minute ago Life Magic just being too close to Death Magic so when you ban one you ban the other #Right but also I think Water should be able to heal most elements have healing abilities so like #Sometime before the 7 year gap I start teaching my sweet baby girl Juvia water based healing spells #I also was On The Island when the 7 year gap happens because I say so #Then finally the big 7 Dragons fight after the Grand Magic Games #Up till this point I don't use a lot of magic or get in a lot of fights and that's just because #I know my kids can handle it and it's more fun to watch Natsu do it plus he'd throw a fit if he didn't get to do it #But the Dragon Thing was like serious so I did a lot of shit #Mainly Healing everyone who fought in the finals of the games so they'd be good to go #Putting a large scale protection spell on every person in the city in an attempt to keep the civillian casualties down #Fending off Atlas Flame from the rest of Fairy Tail until Laxus stepped in #And taking down tons of the little soldiers to keep Makarov and Asuka safe after everyone split up #So for the first time in probably 400 years I completely drained all of my magic energy

Now that all is said and done(and most importantly: resolved), I have to say, the comedic timing of the penalty was incredible. Literally exactly a minute after the last shot of the podium(and about 3 after he received his trophy)

#i went back to check to make sure bcs it felt a lot longer in my memory #but it was literally: end of podium -> a minute of fireworks -> sudden 'fernando alonso' #i swear to you that the fia timed it to be as emotionally devastating as possible like seriously 1 min after is too perfect #so sudden that even the results/leaderboard on the f1 app werent accurate for prob 10 mins or more #(i took a screenshot of the original fernando p3 for posterity hahaha) #there I am sitting on the floor stretching out after a long race and BOOM not even a moment of respite #you know that scene in revenge of the sith where vader yells 'NOOOOOOOOO'? #LITERALLY ME LMAO #sry i just find it funny bcs my liveblogging was like 'oh hey max got FL and nando got 3rd' and the very next post was my rage hahaha #(yknow i bet anakin would also ragepost if his fav podracer didnt win the boonta classic) #i dont mean to drag this out or anything but every single circumstance of it is just perfectly timed and its killing me #is there a tag for this event #bcs i have a suggestion #'what is this!? penalties or ping pong!? I mean honestly!' #2023 saudi arabian gp #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #aston martin #catie.race.lb #catie.rambling.txt

#I can’t describe to you guys what my job is like.

legion fx is an excellent watching experience because every time i start an episode i’m like “now what the FUCK is happening here” and by the end i’m like “ohhhh i see this is genius actually”

#this is specifically about the first 10 minutes or so of season 2 episode 1 which make absolutely NO sense #but once it's explained the time skip and what happened during it you realize it's snippets of what happened in the last year #anyway i love this show it makes me brain feel like it's melting #pie says stuff #pie watches legion #legion fx #yes i took a year long hiatus from watching but i am trying to finish it this summer #i am something like 4 years late to the game but it's really good

idk if any of you are kdrama watchers but I got a problem with the pacing

#LET ME EXPLAIN! #like 50% of kdramas are those boring slice of life dramas where the plot is man with a job meets woman with a job and they find love #and 50% are thrillers where you would the plot is good but the pacing is TERRIBLE!!!! #like in almost all of these kdramas there are minutes (MINUTES!!!) taken up by just a lingering look or a shot that lasts way too long #and it drives me crazy cause it slows down the story SO MUCHHHH #like im watching eve and the plot is good but the pacing is so bad 😑 like minutes of silence cause the character is in emotional turmoil #and its just like we don’t need to waste time on this WE GET IT MOVE THE STORY ALONG NOW #like I hate it when a sequence takes too long and thats the problem with most of these dramas #same issue with the world of the married like it took that woman a whole episode to figure out her husband is cheating #which wouldn’t be a problem if ONE EPISODE WASN’T AN HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES #and mind you there is one (1) plot in that entire show so you can imagine how excruciatingly slow that felt #which is another problem some of these shows need a B plot to fill up screen time cause so much of the A plot is filler #the only show where this wasn’t an issue was the penthouse I swear #and I link that back to why I can’t watch kdramas anymore #like the pacing on that show was sooo good #there were so many plots (that it almost became hard to keep track of) and a lot of advances to the story #that it never felt like it was moving slow #and thats my thing I need FAST #and I need action im realizing im one of those people I need action in my shows! #also im not sure but I didn’t really enjoy stranger things #I think its cause im not a sci-fi person like im just not that intrigued by fictional monsters idk yall #also stranger things didn’t have that much action in its first season #I feel like people watch the show for the coming of age story and not the sci-fi

I never fully conceptualized just how time consuming making videos was until now holy shit

#no wonder bigger/more active creators end up hiring editors #I could see this getting tiresome to do by yourself while still managing to upload everyday??? #even creators I follow that upload once or twice a week and maintain a regular day job??? how?? #I just barely had time to edit and export this 30 minute video before work #exporting it took an hour? and then the upload process takes just as long as the video is?? and it’s still processing on YouTube’s side??? #not to mention recording.. I wanna do longform let’s plays so that’s at least 30 minutes #but I wanna do like 1 and half to 2 hour long videos… #so 2 hours to record.. an hour or 2 to edit.. and hour to export.. almost an hour to upload.. 6 hours.. that’s an average workday for me HA

Man, today was absolutely mental. I don’t think I’ve ever come so close to losing it with a customer

#‘which customer’ you ask. well first there was rude ice cream man #he came in… i want to say before noon? i think it was before we became absolutely inundated #and he was MAD rude for what #he was buying like 4 ice creams so he def had kids with him and was a frustrated father or uncle or grandpa or hired babysitter or whatever #but DUUUUUUDE. there’s no need to give me the blank ☹️ face and ignore all of my questions and exchange zero pleasantries #then there was the lady whose phone died and she couldn’t pay and she was so nice but why. why #like of course i can’t just let you have this stuff. it could be theft. my manager put her stuff in a fridge and then she came back for it #later and i had to go find it and it was so much #she was so nice though i hope she’s well #THEN there was the motherfucker who was buying… i can’t remember what but his total was £5.35 #and i remember this because he was trying to insist on paying for it with exactly three (3) £1 (£1) coins. like sir. that doesn’t work. #that’s not enough. i Could Not get it through his head that i couldn’t take cash unless he gave me at least £2.35 more #eventually i managed to get a contactless card payment out of him and he grumbled about how he was going to have to carry these three pound #coins around with him (ohhhh my god what a hardship 🙄) and about how money was leaving his bank account #like idk how to tell you this but we serve overpriced food here sir. if £5.35 leaving your bank account is a big problem for you you picked #the wrong place to come. also like. you could’ve just. spent only £3 lmao. you had two items #the retail section def sells stuff that’s £3… you didn’t have to do this. like at all. and i’d be happier if you hadn’t #THEN my coworker decided to let two fucking customers in after we closed and they both wanted machine coffees and they took SO long #the one guy had admittedly been queuing just before we closed but the woman just rocked up solidly five minutes too late and was like ‘i’ve #come so far :( it’s been such a long journey :( i just need any coffee :(‘ #i REALLY wanted to say ‘fuck your journey and fuck your coffee. plan better’ but instead i had to make an americano #i don’t think i even tried to hide how mad i was #like hiiiii i know you don’t care but this is my life. this is taking time away from me being able to clean down for the closing shift #which is going to take time out of my life because i’m only paid until five #i know you don’t care that i’ll have to do unpaid work but like. here’s your fucking coffee. lol #there was also this other guy and i can’t remember what he did or said but i remember i was passive-aggressively sugary sweet with him #because it was the only way i could let my annoyance out. i love being sarcastically nice in this job because they can’t call you on it #or they look crazy #in summary i had a fucking day. thanks for asking #personal
