#letters to my mentor

[rocketbirdie]

deranged picnic

#obsessed with how this game manages to maintain a consistent utterly unhinged vibe for its entire runtime. #this scene is immediately followed by him receiving a letter from his girlfriend saying she's breaking up with him. #he gets the letter from an eldritch abomination in the form of his mentor's face on the body of dead dog as it turns into magic dust. #also his gf broke up with him because he wasn't returning any of her messages while he was being tortured in a dungeon for four years. #which is actually how he finds out it's been four years. he's been under the impression that it's been like. 2 weeks lol #the guy on the left is perfectly alive and monologuing the whole time. #and he happens to be the same guy that made clones of himself and went on a crusade to eat chunks of the protagonist's hair. #sighh..... crisis core my beloved........ #(derogatory) #my art <3 #ffvii #crisis core #oh god i forgot his scar. nobody look. don't look. you don't see shit.

The person I’m writing this to isn’t ever going to see it, at least not here. Maybe soon I’ll find a way to word it that I’m okay with her seeing. But for now, it’s going here for safe keeping.

Dear Mentor, 

I truly don’t understand why you’re friends with me. I don’t mean that in a self-deprecating or “oh, how can anyone possibly want to be friends with me” kind of way. I work hard at being a good friend and I know that my friends enjoy me and my presence in their lives. But you’re an anomaly to me. With my other friends, there is a fairly equal give and take (or as equal as it gets when I’m the initiator in the group). But with you, I simply can’t fathom what you could get out of the relationship we have. You are a role model and a mentor to me, and fifteen years my senior, whereas I am technically still a teenager and barely out of high school. I know that our interactions can’t be equal. While I come away feeling built up and supported, you’ve been the one building and supporting. The only things I can think of that you have gotten out of our friendship are the physical items I’ve given you, and I know that they are no where near as important and the emotional and spiritual support you give me. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why you care so much. I know why your sister cares, it’s basically her job. As my youth leader, she has an obligation to check in on me and my well-being. You have no such obligation, and yet you do so more than she does. You’ve said that you wish you had more to give in this season, but I don’t think you truly understand how much you have already given me. You are under no obligation to care, apart from in a vague, distant, sister-in-Christ manner, and yet you make such an effort and invite me and include me and call me a friend. In this time where my ever present relationship with my sister is wavering, you are a sister to me. As I reach the age where I struggle to take correction and advice as easily from my mother, you are maternal. You’ve learned my love languages and made an effort to show affection through them. You are a single parent and a teacher and so active in the church, and yet you make time to talk to me, to give me a hug, to remind me that you care, always. When I first asked if you wanted to go get a cup of coffee with me, I didn’t expect this. I was scared of rejection or you saying yes out of a sense of duty, but you responded with enthusiasm and specific details and have continued to do so throughout our friendship. You have cried with me in my grief and celebrated with me in my joys, and you have prayed with and for me through it all. I cannot tell you how much it means to me, or how many times your kind words have steadied my heart in a dark moment. But in all of this I still don’t understand why. It doesn’t surprise me that you are an amazing mentor, or even that you’ve chosen to give of yourself in yet another way, it just surprises me that you picked me out of all the girls both in and out of our church. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Your gentle guidance and resource recommendations and simple encouragement have done wonders for my heart health. So I don’t understand it, but I am grateful nonetheless. 

Sincerely, Your Mentee

#letters to my mentor #someday I'll tell her this

so i was about to fall asleep but then i started thinking about constantine's sidekick!reader again and just imagining a little scenario where they and jason are having a little tiff or something after some kind of mission...like they're both running on adrenaline and maybe a little manic cuz one of them almost got really hurt or something, and then just at one point reader gets tired off the back and forth and just uses their magic to pull jason over by his collar and kisses him to shut him up? and jason just melts immediately?? mmmmmm god i seriously cant stop thinking about this man

-🦊 (thank you for indulging my brain rot every day, it makes me smile sm every time i see your thoughts and additions to my lil ideas😙)

YA GIRL IS FUCKING BAAAACK i do have news but lets leave them for another moment, now i'm here to be amazed by your ideas that feed the little beast inside my head, chef kiss, michelin star kinda shit

it's been years since you started by john's side, it all ending in you learning a few (almost all) of his traits, a mini me and an obnoxious sorceress is what most people would call you, but a caring person nonetheless and that's something you also got from your mentor. john constantine was a drunk silly man, a jerk but he took you in like his kid, he took care of you and protected the only stream of light that his life had.

all of that made easier for you to notice when someone cared for you, making jason's anger melt your heart right now even if you've been pestering him all the way round. the aftermath of this mission was a ton of adrenaline, a big nasty wound on your side and both of you covered in disgusting hellish goo.

some dumb criminal decided that summoning demons was a good idea to terrorize gotham, as if the city didn't had enough demons already. when jason and you attended that particular call you never thought you would end up hurt but how could you not after pestering a demon, all cocky and smug around it before it all ended up in a few more inferior demons attacking you but hey, you managed yourself.

"for once, learn to keep your smart mouth shut or you'll get yourself killed" jason starts, he's towering over you and his arms are crossed on his chest "you're always testing your goddamn luck and look where it got you"

"dick always runs his mouth when he's fighting, it's funny, jay" you smirk, the mention of his older brother makes him shake his head and sigh heavily "it's not that bad, mom" but a sudden pinch of pain makes you grunt when your hand brushes the wound.

"yeah, not that bad" jason is probably a bit more angry when you laugh softly "mind telling me why are you laughing?"

"it's nothing, mommy hen" you shrug before leaning into a wall under his gaze, you can see jason is worried but once again would it be you if you didn't teased the guy a little? "it's hard to think when we're both covered in sticky goo" and even if the comment is meant to tease him, jason looks at you unamused.

"it's not gonna work for you, let me see your side" he speaks while walking closer, jason takes his gloves off and tugs them into one of the pockets of his tactical cargo pants "you have no spell or shit to heal this so we'll do this my way"

"not gonna happen, mr. hood" and jason stops, taking off his helmet too to let you see his stern expression and it's enough to let you know you've gotten under his skin "you expect me to undress here? just like that? no foreplay?"

"i'm being serious, y/n" there it is, jason's voice turns lower and you know he is indeed worried.

a soft sigh escapes your lips, using the resting energy on your body to use your telekinesis and it's hard because jason is good on resisting magic but when it comes to you he almost always let's you get away with it. his body is pulled closer to yours, his body sliding all the way towards you and when he's right in front of you it's your hand the one that tugs him from the collar of his shirt before your lips collide with his in a chaste kiss.

there's a small smile on your lips because he melts into your touch, kissing you back with one of his hands on your waist and the other one cupping your face.

"is it always this easy to shut you up?"

just finished interviewing bellini for one of my finals in my comedy class and i'm losing my mind over bellini going on a tangent about how if he were grading my comedy over the past year he would give me an A+. like i didn't ask him to say that and it wasn't related to any of the questions i asked but you better believe i'm leaving that in to be like see professor? BELLINI gave me an A+!!!

#it was very sweet lmao and a great conversation over all #last time i was in town i told bellini a one-liner i came up with about the 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym having the exact qualifications #for a strong password (8 letters a number and a special character) and he said he's repeated it to several people #and it's always gotten a big laugh!! which is so cool!!! i'm not typically a ''joke'' writer my stuff is usually character-driven #so that's awesome that both bellini AND scott really loved that line!! #bellini in particular has been such a fan of my comedy since we first met (across multiple eras now) #like we met while i was working on my musical ''other girls'' and he was so excited to hear about it when i first mentioned it #and had me send him the recording as soon as i got it #and he's been so helpful in developing aubrey as a solo sketch character too #it's so cool having a professional comedian (especially one with such a meticulously good ear for comedy like bellini) #be as excited about my work as i am and be able to help me refine it into something even better #and especially as a queer comedian today who's finding it difficult to navigate this landscape of being ''bad representation'' #bellini having been an openly gay comedy writer for almost double my lifetime is such a great resource to have!! #of course a lot of this is true for scott too (tho scott hasn't actually *seen* any of my comedy yet. he's just heard me tell jokes from it #but bellini is such a special mentor for me and i'm so happy we randomly connected over mouth congress over a year ago

Jason:My Little Pony Friendship is Magic isn't even that good

i for real think bnha should be academically studied honestly

#bnha #ESSAY IN THE TAGS YOU GUYS SCROLL DOWN FOR TLDR #the way it went from being like . . . normal mainstream popular to like. ig still mainstream popular enough #but being bashed upon and jeered at and called cringe #among other things via fandom culture #i really do like it!! #it's fun and feel-good and makes me want to cheer for people #and it's SO creative #like my head would hurt if i had to come up with that many individual powers AND give them all distinct names #AND come up with that many superhero/villain names #AND design them based on aforementioned powers #i think this is one of the few rare cases where it being gimmicky and cheesy works bc that's part of the charm of a superhero story #superheroes ARE gimmicky and cheesy #you know they're about doing the right thing!! you know they're about being the good guys!! #yeah yeah i know it goes a lot deeper than that but. you get what i'm saying? #and like how could i possibly hate bakugo becoming better #how could i possibly hate hawks being a kickass mentor and being a hero who strives for something different #how could i hate aizawa defending his students so dearly and monoma and shinsou being underdogs who rise up to the challenge #how could i hate a group of kids who are so kind and good and are so keen on helping each other??? who are trying to protect each other??? #i simply can't!! #tldr i have a soft spot for bnha and this is my love letter for a series that quite frankly doesn't deserve half the vitriol it gets #sou says stuff

[that-was-anticlimactic]

gosh applying for jobs is so stressful i feel mildly ill i hate it

#you want THREE letters of recommendation??? hELLO??? I AM JUST OUT OF COLLEGE!!! my supervisor literally refused to write one for one of my #friends because he didn't think she was capable of working where she wanted to apply (which is not true btw) i want to hurl #just spent the past like two hours looking at schools and counties and cities and signing up for the praxis gosh i'm stressed #and the place i interviewed at called my mentor teacher a couple days after i interviewed and said i was in the running but i haven't heard #back from them in like a month so like IDKKKKK that's prolly bad right??? #i hate it here #so scary

[oddlittlestories]

what I would like to do tonight: write fanfic

what I will actually do tonight: write a recommendation letter

#i hate writing rec letters they make me SO anxious #that's someone's FUTURE in my hands #what if it's somehow inaccurate?? #what if it doesn't fulfill the subject's needs? #I am so glad to be a mentor and do this stuff and genuinely I think I do it well #and I'm gonna cinch the thought wheel at that so there anxiety #fanfic writer blues #personal

happy late birthday luca my light my love my life

#cant miss my mains bday #best character ? yeah #how we feelin bout the letter people #heres my (game) theory #basically this entry and the first bday letter were court evidence used against him #and the manor is giving luca these letters so he can piece together the timeline between him and his mentor #because him burke and tracy have become buddy buddy enough that the owner of the manor thinks burke will save the two of them #so if he gets luca to start hating burke (like he hated his last old #father figure mentor #and eventually kill him then that gets rid of that #and then because burke is supposed to be like a father figure to both him and tracy #tracy kills luca and final girls it out of there #of course i would say friendship is magic but after idv killed ganji #the other light of my life #i dont think they will have mercy on what is the most wholesome surv group setup #but thats just a theory #A Game Theory #luca balsa #idv #identity v #luca idv #this theory might not make sense rn but im high cut me slack rn im literally the smartest person in the room rn #luca deez nutz

[flickeringflame216]

PHYSICAL MAIL IS SO FUN!!!!

#guys why did we stop #I used to get and send mail all the time but texting is too easy so I haven’t been doing that #but now I’m at camp so!!! Mail!!!! It’s so fun!!!! #just thanking God for all my people rn! I got five beautiful letters bursting full of life and love and distinct personalities! #three of my sisters and my one mentor and then my grammy #so so blessed!

[whentherewerebicycles]

applied for the research director job!!! cross your fingers for me!!!! 

#pretty happy with the cover letter i think #i guess it's not HUGELY different from the older version but #i think it just flows better and is a bit more specific #and now i have a good mentoring-specific paragraph i can swap in/out in other letters #downsides of this job: i think i'd have to be back in-office five days a week (though i'm curious about whether it'd be relatively self-set) #and it'd be a 13k paycut unless i can somehow negotiate a bit higher #and i'd have to find full time childcare eventually #but it's still over my 'mandatory minimum salary so i won't be freaking out about childcare costs' number #and idk being at home is fine but i LOVE being on campus #i think the best version would be if there turned out to be some hybrid flexibility within the job but #even if i have to commute i still think it's worth it #i'm so excited about the job itself aaaaaaaa

[davidtennantpussytulpa]

throws up and dies

#i love the fact that there are so few forensic entomology areas you can pursue #bc basically im asking my prof for a letter of rec to her college and will study under who she studied #like. the field is so small theres no choice but to grandfather mentor IT FEELS SO AWKWARDDDDD

[variantoutcast]

I need to learn to have faith things will work out but at my core I am a cynical pessimistic bitch and I’m not really sure how to actively change that

#i’m realizing the impact its had on my life at a macro scale #like my inability to long term plan because I believe with utmost certainty its pointless bc something outside my control will wreck it #thats how I wound up going to the shittiest possible college and its why I’m having trouble planning my exit strategy #in terms of what classes to take #and if I’m going to go apply to grad school #because I feel like this college is a dead end and nobody here will function as a mentor/write me letters of recomendation or help me networ #and that might be true in fact it Probably Is #but there are other ways out but do I believe that and do I act on it? no to both #augh #i think i need. therapy
