#jobs they love and love to talk about

[supercantaloupe]

i'm also looking for a job right now (one of those studying a degree needing a graduate degree to work, fml) and the job market is so fucked right now. i hope you do find one soon.

thank you for your kind thoughts. i think at this point, barring any potential one-off gigs i might get asked to play, it's really unlikely i'll get a job this summer. on the bright side i DO have a job lined up for the fall -- i'm working a fellowship at my university while i'm in grad school. it doesn't pay very much, but it funds the degree which is as good as deal as i could hope for (esp cause my program will probably take up to three years). i just really really wish i had something to do in the meantime over the summer; i hate sitting around without something to Do, and i'm bad at motivating myself to do stuff, and i hate the fact that i'm not able to contribute significantly to my own expenses yet. (of course i've extremely grateful to have a support system willing to help me while i'm at this point in my life, but i do WANT to be able to support myself at least in part by now.) but considering the fact that it's already mid june (and i'm out of the country for a week pretty soon), even if there were seasonal positions still available around me no one is realistically gonna hire me for only two months of work. i think i'm pretty much fucked on that account and i just have to get over it at this point. still, it would be nice if even a fraction of the jobs i've applied to so far would even message me back...but almost none of them have. sigh!

#sasha answers #anon #ty for your care. i appreciate it i do #and i hope you get a job soon as well #it just sucks. it's so frustrating. i can't even get a crummy grocery store cashier or barista job #which is about the only thing i'm 'qualified' for (because the qualifications don't require experience) #(and i still somehow get ignored or rejected when i apply...) #the only other shit that's consistently pushed at me on indeed are waitressing jobs and I Cannot Do That #like physically i would not be able to work that job (and i would probably crumple the second a customer was shitty to me) #(but i can't be on my feet for that long without significant breaks i'm just not physically capable) #what fucking gets me too is that like...i applied to internships and stuff that i AM qualified for. #i applied to performing arts jobs #i got interviewed for some of them! i thought i had a really good shot! #but i was rejected from all of them and i don't even really know why #which is just. really upsetting #especially when i have friends my age (and younger! with as much or less experience as me!) getting jobs in this field #jobs they love and love to talk about #and they're my friends. i am so happy for them. i am. i swear #but it also does sting a bit every time #knowing that they got it and i didn't #and some of them like to say how easy it is. how great a gig it is. #just apply! there are so many positions! you don't need a lot of experience! you would love it! #well. i would love it. i know i would. that's why i applied to similar programs here #and i got rejected. #everytime. #and now it's june and i have nothing to do with myself except waste time on tumblr and bake #and it just. sucks. #anyway. #i wanna talk about me #man i even picked my grad program specifically to make sure it would give me Marketable Skills(tm) when i'm out too.

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Gaster #Papyrus #Second go around! Maybe he can talk about it with the one who actually got the scarf! #Or not haha - better to just let some things lie #Though ♪ Of course Papyrus would recognize Gaster's efforts ♥ His emotional intelligence hhhh <3 #He knows everything there was Gaster's initially and so reading between the lines of Gaster telling him he can have it #It's a gift! Properly! That deserves praise!! Good job you did something nice! #I also deeply love when Gaster is first pulled back out how one of his first little smiles is at Papyrus being silly #Gaster is also very prideful! It's cute to see his son being self-aggrandizing in that kid way! Seeing him enjoy it is so nice ;; #Also I know that Papyrus is still shorter than Gaster I just really like the idea of him being almost his dad's height ;; #He's so grown up now! He's grown into such a beautiful adult <3 #It does make sense that he's still shorter considering the whole ''torn in half'' thing ahh #Maybe Gaster is leaning down just let me have this lol #I also ended up doing a lot of digital reconstruction on this one! #Especially panels 2 through 4 - I actually pulled out my tablet to draw in the bits that got cut off by the surrounding doodles #I wasn't as careful with my spacing with these oops :P But I think they turned out pretty style-matched :) #Cute lads happy <3

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.

Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.

In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

#barbie #barbie movie #barbie spoilers #ig #ive got a lot more on how barbie looks at feminism and the patriarchy cause god they did it #not to say there isnt faults such as very little conversation about intersectionality #but i can also understand the impossible task of talking about EVERYTHING in one movie #not everyone will be happy and thats fine #anyway i think something barbie did really well is fight this battle of both wanting so deeply to love (romantically or not) men but also #not dismissing the fact its mens job to solve their problems themselves #that even if women need to be the front runners of breaking the patriarchy men cannot rely on them to solve their own problems completely #also just god im so glad this wasnt a girl boss slay movie #women deserve respect and love and life regardless of accomplishment #we should not have to be ceos and presidents and world problem solvers to gain equality #i can also understand if nonbinary people feel left out/disconnected from the movie #but as always gender abolition and acknowledging the gender binary (ie the one societially impossed) go hand and hand 👍 #just incase cause idfk terfs dni the barbie movie is not for you #barbie literally states constantly that her gender has nothing to do with (non existent) genitals so f off

What is the story synopsis for the harlequin au?

Just like the Suspenseful Digital Mystery, I do plan on making a masterpost about it, but the story synopsis of the AU is that it follows a serialized-1210 Combat Harlequin named "Pomni": a Puppet who's whole purpose is to fight.

Initially just wanting to defeat the fugitive Puppetmaster, Caine, to "prove a point", she eventually ends up joining the man after he manages to convince Pomni that he's only trying to help improve the situation of Circuit City, a city that's been overrun by manic marionettes, killing and destroying everything that even dares move.

So now, she has to deal with various bosses, with some of them even joining the team after they've been "corrected" by Caine.

The whole AU is inspired by a Souls-like, specifically "Lies of P" because I REALLY love that game. Their designs take on a more Steampunk-esque theming, but the genre of the whole AU is Soulpunk.

So far, the designs I've done yet for the AU are for Caine, Pomni, Ragatha, and Kinger (who's name lacks the "e" part for a e s t h e t i c purposes)

Everyone who's been shown in the TADC canon is bound to be a boss for this AU with the exception of Caine, since he's Pomni's starting ally/objective giver.

And yes, EVERYONE is a different classification of a Puppet, which are robots of sorts.

#thanks for the ask! #tadc #tadc au #the amazing digital circus #Harlequin AU #caine #pomni #ragatha #kinger #I'm so happy I finally get to talk about this AU #even if just for a bit #I love sci-fi aus. I'm crazy about them #everytime I join a fandom it is always my job to create a sci-fi AU from the original media #This is another one to my collection #teehee teehee #my favorite design from this bunch is Caine's #his design makes me so happy

the thing is, the "I would eat my arms and legs for zoro" scene wasn't just for shits and giggles. yes, it was to show just how devoted luffy is to his friends, but it also shows how he's naturally an great captain that he immediately understands zeff and says without hesitation "oh yeah I would do that and beyond for my crew"

#zolu #it's the small things #i really like how luffy was portrayed in the live action i could talk about it for hours #i know it's different from his portrayal in the anime but also i think it kinda had to be this way #like in anime an constantly high energy character such as luffy works just fine but in live action it doesn't make much sense #anyway i think iñaki did a great job and on that stance i do not accept different opinions i will fight you #opla #one piece #one piece live action #also bc hes madly in love w zoro but we all knew that already

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

#Pactw #QSMP #Pac #March 18 2024 #As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators #I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore #I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know #like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on #And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation #but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk. #I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about #esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources #and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive'' #but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this'' #''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?'' #And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know #idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info #Happy to hear other folks' perspective #I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those #but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric #which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs #but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying #Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript #that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing #and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate #idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags #But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter #Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

hades fandom dash osmosis had me kind of thinking that than and zag were the nicer friends to lovers romance and that meg was the mean dominatrix type but in my playthrough I've found that meg is distantly polite and than is openly a tsundere bitch. ok

#like they're both clearly pissed at you but when you talk to them #meg will be like. “i have a job I need to be focusing on 😐” #and than will be like “TCH🙄 why are you even TALKING to me????🙄🙄🙄 you're planning on LEAVING ANYWAY.🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨” #worth noting that than is the one actually trying to help you whereas meg's job is to kick your ass. so #anyway I love them I can't wait to have my toxic polycule #“hades is a combat focused roguelike game about escaping the underworld and finding out where your mother went” WRONG. #it's a bisexual romance visual novel<333 #hades #hades game #thanatos hades #megaera hades #thanzag #megzag #I love having to guess at ship names here this is great #thanzagmeg

As someone who used to work at a nursing home, I'm getting really tired of nursing staff turning to each other and going, "if I ever end up like THAT, just fucking kill me" like motherfucker the quality of life of these residents is your SOLE responsibility and if they're not living their best lives that is YOUR FAULT.

These residents are here because this is their best option. They're here because if they weren't, their quality of life would be worse.

These residents make friends with their roommates, the people they eat with, and the people who go to activities with them.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to walk.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to breathe without oxygen.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they're on a feeding tube.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by level of continence.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they can chew their food.

A disabled elder's quality of life is entirely measured on whether or not their needs are met.

If their quality of life is worse at a nursing home than it would be if they had just stayed home, then their needs are not being met. If you are not meeting their needs, that is YOUR FAULT and you have FAILED your residents as a medical professional.

#nursing #stna #nurse aide #nurses #long term care #i understand burnout is a thing #but do NOT fucking talk about your residents like that #they deserve the best life you can provide #and if youre not doing your job then why are you here #family members leave their loved ones on our care for a reason #theyre trusting us to maintain a good quality of life for them #and if we're not doing that then whats the fucking point #like if you genuinely look at somebody in a wheelchair and think “if i ever ended up like that just kill me” thats NOT ok

it's been a while on my rewatch, but i'm watching the fake wedding case and... can we just talk about how shinichi's reaction is so different in the anime compared to the manga?

bland. boring. WHERE IS THE FEELING IN THIS. just. No.

THIS THO

SMITTEN. BESOTTED. A TRUE SIMP. JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE'S A BABY YOUR HONOUR. BABY IN LOVE!!!!

bonus: shinichi peeking at ran with a blush on his face at this bit (and ran blushing too, pretty please)

We Were Robbed.

#detco posting #detective conan #anime #manga #shinran #my beloveds #detco watching #la junk talks #the images are from ep 449 and chapter 535 for anyone who wants to know #i'm OBSESSED WITH SHINICHI JUST. HE'S SO IN LOVE? #HE FREAKING BLUSHED JUST IMAGINING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IN A WEDDING DRESS??? #me just thinking about his face in topical land as he imagines confessing to ran AND ABOUT TO KISS HER IN HIS DAYDREAM? #NOW THAT IS A BESOTTED MAN. SMITTEN. HEAD OVER HEELS. #it feels like we were ROBBED #sometimes i think the anime does a better job than the manga #but not in this particular instance #the fact that you cannot tell at a glance how much of a simp shinichi is for ran is a crime A CRIME!!! #me on my current reread: i will so make a collage of all his simp moments. I SO WILL. *GNAWS ON LAPTOP*
