My coworkers went to bat for me and won. There's going to be a slight shift to my tasks, I get to do my original tasks again (holy moly it's been a long time) but I get to be an editor and writer again, and I'll be managing the freelancers like I was before my vacation. But I just...telling them was the right way to go because omg they went straight to the higher ups and won my full hours back. I may kinda hate this job, but I do adore my coworkers. 😭💖 (Goodbye positive spin of having more time to job hunt for actual full time. 😅 But at least I won't be panicked about having to adjust for a huge loss of income because I did not sleep like all weekend and have been panicking about that)

my favorite thing about comics specifically is how much it checks your ego if you think you know how to draw characters. like i’m pretty sure people who don’t do comics assume the hard part would be how *many* drawings are involved in making a comic, and sure that’s part of it, but i think the real challenge is having to accept you’re not as good at drawing characters as you think you are. being able to depict a convincing character, a dynamic pose, or even an expressive face out of context as opposed to within a narrative is such a different skill set in ways i don’t think a lot of people realize

#mumbling #i can only assume animating dials this up even further #i think a good example of what i’m talking about here would be like. how many angles can you draw a face at #bc if you primarily do single page illustrations you genuinely don’t *need* to know how to do that many #like there are not many compositions where being able to draw a worm’s eye view of a human face is necessary #hell you could probably get away with nothing but 3/4ths view and front view if your focus isn’t on pose work #but with comics there’s a lot more elements to account for and weird angles are going to come up more often #and then in animation like. ideally you’re able to do a full character turnaround before you even attempt it

That one "radi.oapple" artist that painfully mischaracterizes(?) both Al and Lucifer it's so funny. No, Alastor would not fucking do that. No, Lucifer would never in his life say that. What is this, why is he a twink. Why does he look like that, who are these people. They just....basically turned them into that weird oversexualized "yaoi" shit from years ago. What

#my hater moment...... #they literally Have to change EVERYTHING about these characters to 'work' as a ship #ignoring my man's aromanticism.... #jail for 100 years #mumbles

heartslabyul office au in which you, ace, and deuce are coworkers who are somehow always on the verge of being fired because you’re almost always late with deadlines and can never truly focus. T_T one day you take the fall for ace and deuce thinking ceo rosehearts will be more lenient with you (or so you think he’ll be lenient when vice president trey clover escorts you to the ceo’s office, always so kind in his outlook).

and to your relief and surprise, the ceo is lenient. too lenient. so lenient he actually promotes you instead! now you’re his secretary, many floors above where you once worked, in your own private office space, and with this new proximity you get to know both the ceo and vp. unfortunately, this means you hardly see ace and deuce during work. D: but in the ceo’s eyes that’s much better. you’re where you belong: at his side, away from the bad influences that are ace and deuce.

#meraki mumbles #ace is that annoying coworker who is always asking you to get dinner #by asking he just always assumes you want to get dinner T-T #one day it’ll work and you’ll say yes… one day… orz #edit - I FORGOT CATER WAIT OMG #HE’S THERE…. HMMM CEO RIDDLE’S SECRET WINGMAN??? OTL #maybe it’s a quartet: ace deuce cater and reader :D #and cater’s sharing information he learns about you to riddle so he has better chances of charming you

Retrograde MC as an MTF member? Hiding in plain view of the foundation possibly?

Like with everything-

It begins with an accident.

You take a wrong turn somewhere, drop into another reality, someone drags you away and suddenly you're knee-deep in an operation in the middle of nowhere. There are a lot of instructions given to you and quite frankly you're only working on muscle memory that you know you've never had when the mission starts.

You have no idea what the hell is going on.

It gets worse when the team encounters their supposed target. There's plenty of screaming and things that shouldn't be alive (especially not like that) but truthfully you guys get pretty far in "containing" whatever the target is.

And then you die. Horribly, terribly, painfully.

Then, you wake up with your arm being dragged by someone else. They repeat the same phrases, word for word, and don't comment on your silence, the same as last time. You pay more attention to their words this time and hope maybe what happened before was just deja vu.

It isn't.

The scene repeats, over and over again. Sometimes you're the first to die. Sometimes not. Sometimes you're the last to die instead.

'This isn't going anywhere,' you think grimly as the ground opens up beneath you.

You had hoped that the team would be able to capture the target with just your small movements to not die. It isn't working. You know it's unrealistic to expect changes that don't come from yourself in a time loop but-

Well.

It doesn't matter in the end. You'll go back in time if you die and you're a little hopeless without everyone else on the team which means you'll die if they die too. Everyone has to survive to the end.

It takes a few more tries and a bit more “nudging” from you (and giving way more orders than your rank probably allows) before you make it to the end. Everyone gathers around, some injured but nothing terribly permanent or life threatening. You’re relieved.

But now that the fight was over, you finally got the chance to take a closer look at everyone. The badges on their arms showed a familiar symbol. The SCP Foundation.

'Sh*t,' you think.

You close your eyes. You're absolutely certain you aren't who they think you are but in the same vein, you don't know who you are right now either. A heavy hand lands on your back and you look to the side to see who it is.

"The rookie's pretty good, huh?" The commander laughs heartily and gives you a few pats.

"...Thank you," you answer politely, ducking down your head to hide your gaze.

"No need to be shy," another member chimed in. "We're going to be together for at least a little while longer."

Not a one-time unit then.

"C'mon, don't bother 'em 'bout that so soon. It's been a difficult mission. We gotta go back soon anyways."

It isn't long before everyone's shifting around and packing things up to head back to the site. You don't know which one and asking would only make you seem suspicious so you quietly follow behind the group as they chatter away.

There are a couple of things you learn along the way like how you're new to the Foundation, everyone's names and positions as well as what your own name is. It's the same as before. Later, in a room that is supposedly yours, the first thing you do is head into the washroom.

When you look into the mirror, it is your own face that stares back.

#AskPiratesAU Captain Cellbit, what's your next destination? Any treasure, legend, mystery that interests you in particular?

Despite me thinking this is really suspicious, i'll tell you.

We are currently trying to figure out these strange coordinates we catched on the radio. I think it might have something to do with the rumours on the south. People think there's dragons there. If there are strange creatures, there must be precious stuff too, right? Roier likes dragons too, so that's another good reason.

I don't mind anything in particular i just like solving the enigmas they put on the way, Roier is who likes the shiny things. I'm more into the "getting there" part of it.

Getting close to spring break testing.

Latin sucks, finding citations is torture, and still there's more to go.

I'm doing my best.

Doing. My. Best.

I warned my coworkers I might be moved down to part time next month and they're furious. 😂Our call turned into a ranting session. We'll see what happens I guess. No one told me I couldn't say that they were thinking of bumping my hours down and they would've noticed. I don't have much hope and honestly it's probably a good time to try harder to find something else. It's also nice to get sent a bunch of curses and shock when I list off everything I do for my coworkers.

everyone’s always got some kinda reason why they’re not good at beatsaber. oooouugh this game is so confusing oh it’s moving so fast my grip is wrong the arrows don’t make sense the pattern switches randomly between syncing to the beat and syncing to the lyrics something something music theory. brother just hit the blocks with the sticks

#mumbling #for the record this post is about at least like 7 people #EVERY TIME i’m like hey look at this game ­:) it’s fun ­:) and then people pull out a 20 slide powerpoint #on why they didn’t beat an expert+ custom map first try #like first of all. you didn’t beat the level because you didn’t hit the blocks with the sticks. that’s how this game works

#(taking inventory) hmmm basically all of my isat stuff is postcanon huh. unintentional but interesting behaviour from me #<- not used to making fanwork and is intrigued by my gravitation toward this #id suppose it's because im more of a character studies person than anything? like.... #isat very thoroughly explores its characters ingame. i have no real speculation to add there. its very airtight #but leaves the characters with very intentional next-steps-in-life to explore. #+ i in general approach texts as like... a challenge to get the most 'accurate' read on the characters as i can #hense my mumbling about my fancontent potentially feeling 'rude' to me. ie if i read the characters wrong ive failed at task #of exclusively substantiated reading. and thus hense the tension between 'unbased speculation inherent to fan work' and #'textual basis for character analysis'. its interesting #and fun! i do find it fun. but it is something about me that i take this to be an intellectual challenge first and foremost #you can REALLY tell im an oc guy sometimes i think lol. im very used to keeping myself on the straight and narrow #trying not to let characterisation drift.... its so easy to accidentally flanderise or soften the edges off of a character especially.... #anyway. ramble over. just interesting to me to take stock of my output #lucabytetalks

that aside, i'm so excited to make more progress in the wip!!! :D i will continue working hard on it and doing my best to cook the most scrumptious jade feast!!!!!

#meraki mumbles #me: is it really necessary to add ace and deuce in a scene? #also me: i need them to comment on how goofy reader and jade are when they're working side by side (the tension between the two of them!!!) #ace: lol didn't know it was couple's night #reader: didn't know your face is about to go out with my fist :) #jade watches you threaten ace and he's thinking 'god when will it be my turn?

Mc as a gotham bartender uses their charism because tips.

There’s a new bartender at the bar on the edge of Crime Alley.

The story goes that they had appeared at the bar one evening, soaked by the rain. They had spoken to the bartender, disappeared into the back, and left by the time someone had asked for a drink. The very next day, they were working at the bar.

Rumour has it that they’re excellent at making drinks and very charming. Incredibly charming. In other words, likely good enough to be hired at the Iceberg Lounge. Apparently, when asked, they only smile politely and say they’d rather not be involved with “all that” which is fair. It’s Gotham and it pays well to stay vigilant.

There are many unusual stories in Gotham.

This is not one of them.
