Wee guy got vaporised

We're afraid we've some bad news. There's no easy way of saying this, so we'll give it to you straight: wee guy has been vaporised. He was 69 (nice)

It is hard, we know. But it be like that sometimes. Life is all about comings and goings, meetings and partings, and the occasional vaporisation. Come pay your respects to wee guy, and enjoy other #street photographs on Tumblr today.

And tell us, prey: do you care?

Vimes' meeting with the Patrician ended as all such meetings did, with the guest going away in possession of an unfocused yet nagging suspicion that he'd only just escaped with his life.

I want to be clear that I am NOT an expert in trade unions: My experience is limited to the IBEW and I’ve only been a member for four years. That being said:

My experience thus far is that 99% of being in one is the same obnoxious bureaucratic bullshit as national politics on a smaller scale. Everyone loves to bitch about the administration: It’s corrupt, they’re just giving themselves raises for doing nothing, the business manager is doing his “recruiting” exclusively in the bar, the negotiators are licking the contractors’ boots, we inexplicably voted to give the golf club ten thousand fucking dollars, they don’t actually care about us, they’re just sitting on their asses doing politics while we work to support them. And then you ask “so are you going to meetings and voting?” and the answer is always “hell no, I’m not giving up an evening a month to go listen to a bunch of bullshit”.

Obviously I 100% support forming and joining unions, they offer way more protection and support than non-union workplaces, and they’re a powerful force for labor rights. Just . . . remember they’re just made up of all of your coworkers, including the ones you hate, and they require the involvement of the membership to actually function. It’s a lot of compromising and politicking and bullshitting, it’s not a magic bullet to fix labor problems. Half the time I can’t even agree with my coworkers on what the problems ARE, much less how to fix them!

#i can't even blame the administration for the golf club thing that was a membership vote and i'm STILL MAD ABOUT IT #but i'm also angling for my union to pay me to go to a women in construction conference in december so what can i say #anyway i just feel like a lot of the 'FUCK neoliberals WORKERS RISE UP' people would be disgusted if they actually attended any of my union #meetings #like i'm not happy about it either! we should be doing more wildcat strikes and sympathy actions #but here we are #construction #labor rights

Lost and Found

A lost and needed report leads to remembrance of where it is and what was happening to lose it in the first place.

Fictober Day 15

Prompt: You lost it. Well, we both lost it.

Hope you all enjoy this one. ❤️

March 2000

“It’s not here,” Scully called from the annex of the office. 

“And I don’t see it on the desk here either,” Mulder called back, shaking his head. 

“It was there last night before we left. I know that I saw it,” she said, walking back into his view. 

“I did too.” 

“So…” 

“I don’t know,” he said, sighing loudly. 

“Well, Skinner’s not going to be happy.” 

“If you tell him, he’ll take it better,” he said, raising his eyebrows at her. 

“What? Why would you say that? Because I’m a woman? That’s very sexist of you.” She crossed her arms and frowned at him. 

“What? No. That’s not how I meant it.” 

“Explain what you meant then.” 

“Well… I just meant that he likes you. He cares about you.” She narrowed her eyebrows, her expression hardening and he shook his head. “Not… not like that. Not in any way that’s inappropriate. Just… he respects and admires you. That’s all.” 

“And you don’t think he feels the same for you? That he doesn’t admire you? Doesn’t appreciate and respect your tenacity?” 

“My stubborn bullheadedness you mean?” he asked with a grin and he watched her fighting back a smile of her own. “I cause him stress and anxiety. Hell, I’d add hair loss to the list if he wasn’t nearly bald when we first met.” 

“Mulder,” she said with a quiet laugh, shaking her head. 

“It’s true and you know it.” 

“You could try to have that not be the way he sees you.” 

“I don’t think it would matter at this point,” he said, looking on the desk again for the folder they needed. “I think when he sees my name on his calendar, his blood pressure increases.” 

“Well, that I don’t doubt,” she agreed and he looked up at her, sticking out his lower lip in a mock pout. “Aw, poor baby.” She walked across the room, stopping just in front of him and smiling. “Would a kiss make you feel better?” 

“I thought you were very firm in your belief that we refrain from that while at work?” he asked and she licked her lips, biting down gently on the bottom one. 

“I am. But…” She fiddled with his tie, the backs of her fingers trailing down his chest and bumping against each button. “You’re so adorable when you pout.”

“Am I?” he asked, wrapping his arms around her. 

“Yeah. And I think you know it.” 

“How to get to you?” he asked, one hand moving to the back of her neck and he watched as her eyes slid shut and her mouth opened slightly. “Of that I am very aware.” 

He bent his head and kissed her, a soft moan escaping her throat as he did. She grabbed handfuls of his shirt, pressing as close to him as she could, as their kiss deepened. He gripped her hair and tugged it gently, eliciting another moan from her. 

The desk phone rang and she pushed against his chest to make him move, their kiss halting. 

“Scully,” she said, baring her neck to him as she answered it, letting her desires be known. He grinned and began to lavish her neck with soft, silent kisses. “Mmm… No, I’m sorry, sir. I was just… reading the results of a blood test.” She pushed at him again and shook her head. “Yes, we’ll be right up.” 

Sighing, she hung up the phone and looked at him. 

“Time to face the music,” she said, raising on tiptoes to kiss him once more. 

“You mean to lay on that Scully charm,” he corrected her as he took his suit jacket from the coat rack and they walked out the door. 

“He did sound extra perturbed given the early hour,” she admitted, closing and locking the office door as he struggled with the sleeve of his jacket. “Oh, for god's sake, Mulder. You’re a menace to yourself.” She helped him with his jacket, smoothing the lapels and brushing at nonexistent pieces of lint. 

“Thanks,” he said, staring at her lips, desperately wanting to kiss her again. 

“You’re welcome,” she said, shaking her head and walking to the elevator.

He followed her, smiling as he watched the sway of her hips. Not for the first time of course, but now with the knowledge of what those hips, and the rest of her, looked like naked. 

Leaving his bed, or even better yet, walking towards it, those hips were mesmerizing. 

She pushed the button to call the elevator as he caught up to her. Smiling at her, his hand at the small of her back as though it was a magnet calling for its mate, they stepped inside as the doors opened. 

“He’s gonna be so pissed,” she said and he hummed, his fingers scratching her back in gentle reassurance. 

The elevator stopped and his hand dropped as they exited. 

In the waiting area of Skinner’s office, instead of his assistant, they found him. He sighed as he looked down at their empty hands. 

“Did you forget that we needed to have your report for the meeting currently taking place? Did something happen to it between the time I called you mere minutes ago and right this moment?” he asked, his voice low but firm, staring at each of them. 

“Sir,” Scully began, but he put up a hand to stop her. 

“This is an important meeting,” he said and Mulder shifted slightly. “I know they can be tedious, but they are necessary.”

“And I agree,” Scully stated. “We had the report in the office yesterday, but-”

“But what? You lost it? It grew legs and walked away? What?” 

“Well, I didn’t lose it. We lost it,” she admitted, glancing quickly at Mulder. “I don’t know how we could have, but it’s-”

“Coffee table,” Mulder interrupted, his fingers tapping repeatedly against Scully’s hip. 

“Excuse me, Agent Mulder,” Skinner said, his eyes narrowing. “How is what you just said helpful?” 

“It’s on your coffee table,” Mulder said, looking at Scully and ignoring Skinner. “I must have grabbed it with the other files when we left here last night. I remember now that I saw it. It’s with the Beckman case notes.” 

She stared at him in confusion, then her eyes widened. 

“It’s there,” he repeated with a nod. 

“Sir,” she said, looking at Skinner. “Agent Mulder is correct. It is there. I remember seeing it now as well. If I could have… an hour, I can have that report here. It’s-”

“Go,” Skinner said, shaking his head. They both began to leave and he stopped them. “Not you, Mulder. It’s a task that only requires one person. You can join us in the meeting now and Agent Scully will do the same in an hour. One hour, Scully.” He held her gaze and she nodded, her eyes flicking to Mulder’s before she left the room. 

Mulder sighed and turned his attention to Skinner who was looking at him questioningly. 

“Sir?” 

“You saw it on her coffee table last night,” Skinner said in a quiet voice. 

“When we were reviewing the Beckman case, yeah,” Mulder replied with a nod. “We brought food back to her apartment and went over that case and did paperwork for a couple of others as we ate. The report for the meeting was on my desk, but I must have picked it up by mistake when I grabbed the other files.” 

“Must have,” Skinner said, his expression unreadable, though Mulder suspected he was thinking that their evening had been more than dinner and work discussions. 

Of which he would be absolutely correct, Mulder thought, remembering kissing Scully as she had sat astride his lap, moaning into his mouth as he had unhooked her bra. 

“Yeah, it was just a mix up,” Mulder said, clearing his throat. “We’d better join that meeting, huh? Or we’ll be here all day. After you.” Mulder smiled and gestured towards the office and Skinner scoffed as he led the way. 

Please hurry, Scully, he thought, as he took a seat at the world's most boring meeting, his eyes constantly flicking to the door, awaiting her arrival.

THE FUCKING MONEY 💰💸💵

I decided to uncover this can of worms, not to create controversy or believe in blind items. Those kinds of things have to be taken with a grain of salt and it's something I understand, especially if Camila is involved in it.

But, money in the industry is important and even more so for artists who want to make music.

We know that record companies have artists as investments and if for them an artist is not profitable to invest in him or her, they will not do it and will shelve them.

It's not the first time I've read or heard that an artist has a relationship with someone important in the industry to have money to make music. I have seen this before and I am not referring to Camila. This is something that is very common in Asia with Korean music as well. They told me that they forced the BTS boys to have meetings with important people in the Korean government and in the US, it is no different. Remember folks, this also happened with the girls from 5H.

They forced them to have meetings with important people at the record company and Camila continues to do that. She accepted the Shitmila circus to release Romance, because if you remember, CC1 came out because Roger pushed for it.

As I know, CC3 also came out thanks to Showmila and we can also understand why Camila was forced to accelerate the releases of CC2 and CC3.

CC4 is unknown. If the blind item is right that Camila doesn't have the money to release that album, maybe that's why that material hasn't seen the light yet, plus, we don't even know where Camila stands with the Interscope record label.

We know from Camila that she has been working on new music, but if she hasn't released it yet it's for a reason. Something tells me it has to do with the record company and money. My theory is that maybe she doesn't want to depend on all the money from the label's investment and that's why she needs the money. Camila has never done well with record companies so I wouldn't be surprised by something like that.

As for the sexual part of the blind item, I don't know. I don't see Camila doing something like that, but I don't know.

All I hope is that if Camila needs money to continue releasing music, that she doesn't go to extremes that she can't get out of later.

It is the nature of the universe that the person who always keeps you waiting ten minutes will, on the day you are ten minutes tardy, have been ready ten minutes early and will make a point of not mentioning this.

Hero & Villain Pair Ideas

*Just some pairing ideas for this damn thing cause I’ve been sucked into it by prompts and fics.*

Anti-Hero x Anti-Villain - 

They make out on the first meeting, Hero could care less about Villain’s goals and encourages it.

Retired!Hero x Thief!Civilian - 

Civilian currently being chased by the people they robbed, they bump into Hero and suddenly, Civilian has a sugar daddy.

Monster!Villain x Police!Civilian x Flirty!Henchman - 

Henchman meets Civilian and instantly thought they were hot. Villain wanted to see why his lackey was, well, lacking. Chaos ensues.

Protective!Henchman x Theif!Civilian -

Both of them were trying to rob the same person, Civilian got it first, and the game of cat and mouse started.

Chaotic!Villain x Anti-Villain -

Wanting to achieve a world with no government, Anti-Villain goes to seek help from Villain, they agree, and now the city is covered in glitter.

Exasparated!Vigilante x Dramatic!Villain -

Villain thinks the fights they have with Vigilante are dates, and Vigilante doesn’t have the heart to tell them.

Flirty!Henchman x Perfect!Henchman -

Flirty makes it his daily routine to make Perfect blush and Perfect just wants to get his job over with and not get killed by the big boss.

Superhero x Police!Civilian -

Civilian helped Hero with capturing a robber, Hero falls in love and tries to win Civilians love, the problem is Civilian is too busy to realize that.

Teacher!Civilian x Barista!Civilian -

Just two Civilians somehow caught in the crossfire of the hero and villain society.

Protective!Henchman x Flirty!Henchman -

Protective fell in love with Flirty, not that they’ll admit it, and what’s the point of saying it if they already knew?

*Dunno, just wanted to share my ideas before my brain explodes, might think of more.*
