#still client believe

[uncanny-tranny]

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant

#positivity #pro aging #also i hate you 'anti aging' scams that capitalize on fear of aging. death by 1000000 papercuts for ye #saw a hair video where they restored the salt-and-pepper colour in an older clients hair and it looked SO GOOD at the end #i love when people throw in the towel and embrace their aging however that looks #it isn't productive to shame people who are ashamed of aging and i just want to. celebrate aging #in a world that simultaneously venerates youth and adulthood and hates BOTH you need to find some sense of freedom #as a Young Adult(tm) please please PLEASE older folks seeing this/following me know that i look up to you #older folks i need you to know that your worth NEVER diminished when you added a new number on your birthday cake #and your body and mind and soul NEVER lost worth because it started to creak a little at the joints #and i might be wrong about this because i'm still young but it can be SO tempted to miss your youth when you feel like... #...you've somehow LOST part of yourself by growing older. and so much of aging is about change and some things don't stay the same... #...and that IS scary and i will never once fault somebody for that. but please don't fall into the trap that because you've aged that... #...you somehow have forever lost fundamental pieces of Who You Are and you could never come back from that... #...for your own sake and sanity you deserve to find comfort and solice and understanding in who you still are... #...because you are still - at the core - the same. you can never take this away from yourself #and i know this might ring hollow because i just don't get what it's like to be older #but i have looked at my elders and felt awe at their age and their experiences #and i know what that is like and it's awesome. i just wish more older people knew that so many of us look at you with awe... #...and - if you can believe it - some of us ENVY your age or experiences or even body #i'm watching an 'older' content creator (older by internet standards 🙄) and i envy him for how eventful his life was #i envy that he experienced a different world - one that i have only heard about from my dad because i was too young to remember it #and i admire this person for their wisdom and thoughts because they've come from his experiences living in a Different World #it's that type of stuff that makes me unafraid to keep on living #inspired by following somebody like. twice my age posting about their excitement abiut growing older and !!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH #didn't realize they were closer to my dad's age but that's so cool???????????

happy 6 months to me literally being someone’s lawyer. that’s still soooo insane to me. your tumblr mutual shitposting about books is also giving legal advice and going to court

#got a rlly good 180 day eval literally put my head in my hands and cried #I’ve already had 42 clients which is wild to me #I still can’t believe I actually did it like. I Am an Attorney #technically I have been a lawyer for 9 months but I started my lawyer job 6 months ago :)

So let me get this right

Edgeworth had a quarter of life crisis, went to Europe to find himself, realised Phoenix gave his life meaning, and came back ready to confess.

Meanwhile Phoenix, who used to openly admire, be worried about and even give excuses to Edgeworth even when he was kinda mean, was so personally offended by how much it hurt him to think he was dead that when he came back Phoenix completely shut down every good emotion he felt towards him and started acting like a petty teenager with a grudge.

And now Edgeworth is the one reaching out and questioning his morality and acting hurt when Phoenix is mean to him. Interesting.

#and by interesting i mean i am going insane #worthwright #narumitsu #i'm still testing out what names feel less weird to use btw miles is weird and wright too but idk if using a first and a surname is as well #also. i was so pleasantly surprised by how emotionally mature phoenix was in the first game #and in this one he just startes accusing edgeworth of being evil all the time like?? he was way less understanding before #theonly explanation is that he mourned edgeworth like a lot and to protect himself from feeling all that he pretended he didn't #care actually because edgeworth was all those things people said he was (heartless and forged evidence anddid anything to win a trial) even #if he has actually helped Phoenix to get to the truth a lot of times before despite going against his own professional interests #he's treating him as if he's manfred von karma and not the one who phoenix himself protected against the guy #a bit disappointing tbh so i have to read it like that and not that he actually forgot all that; he only started believing in those things #he told himself to hurt less and now he's too tangled up to listen to what edgeworth is saying and doing #besides that: i'm SO GLAD he got an actually guilty client at last!! that's part of being a defense lawyer and now he can feel #that conflict edgeworth feels everytime he has to balamce doing his job with getting to the truth. also i want to see an edgeworth W #my babygirl needs it #“ace attorney”

#last month i wrote some tags about how i needed to leave my nails alone because i was getting extensions #in the hopes that i would finally stop biting my nails after doing it almost my whole life #well it FUCKING WORKED #i got gel x tips and i loved them sooooo much #but they kept coming off because i have to do so much with my hands especially in water lol #and i have tiny fingers too so the sizes she had weren't quite right #she redid the ones that came off for free for the whole three weeks i wore them! #so i bought her some new tips in tiny person sizes as a thank you lol #for her to use on other clients tho because she recommended this gel overlay system she likes #I've been wearing it for like a week and a half and they are still FLAWLESS #so I'm never going back to anything else lol i'm going to keep getting these pretty much forevwr #but anyway the important part is. that i no longer put my fingers in my mouth to destroy my nails and cuticles #i have real grownup hands now and it's AMAZING #my nail plate is reattaching to my nail bed!!!! like the bed is getting longer #they'll eventually reach the actual tips of my fingers the way theyre supposed to 😍 #and the gel keeps the nails hard and almost fucking unbreakable #i had to replace my compulsion to bite/chew with the compulsion to apply cuticle oil lol but it's SO WORTH IT #i look at pictures of how my hands used to look just two months ago and i cant fucking believe i lived that way for DECADES #and i guess this is especially significant for me because my hands have always been a source of shame #not just because my nails were fucking gross and fucked up. but because i have TINY HANDS #like really small hands. not proportionate to my body. AT ALL #especially when i put my hands near my head because i have a slightly larger than average head lmaooo #and my fingers are very thin and just. i have small hands. very weak. #i cant even snap my fingers and make a sound #(do NOT instruct me. i know how to do it. i have been trying my whole life. its not physically possible for my fingers to make that sound) #so having nice nails really fucking helps me 🥹 #like i can be proud of my hands even if theyre small #and i dont feel the need to hide them anymore

something that struck me of the last case in eaw was how much the opposing attorney seemed like she really was used to losing, but not one bit used to feeling ashamed, and that's sth that has been sad to see about young woo in other cases how much she's ashamed of having helped really horrible people, and the thing is, that because she works at a company and she's a rookie she's entirely doomed to keep doing that even as she has tried to steer her boss in another direction she's still not in control of the narrative and i wonder how much that reminds her of her own life but now she's the boot on the throat of other people, does she think like that i wonder, idk but she has a heart and it feels and it does weigh heavy on her you can tell even when she doesn't say anything

#extraordinary attorney woo #that woman was proud even in losing because they defended what they believed in and she will do it again and lose but she still tries #and young woo has a version of that that tells her to crush any attachment to the clients because of a corporate policy not #entirely out attorney logic or emotional distance like it's clear after seeing this woman being proud of her work #and denying the version of attorney jung's view on law and attorneys like fuck

hi if this isn’t something you prefer answering you can ignore my ask!

so i wanted to know how much stripe reveals your info to people who pay you? through ko fi and all that. what i mean is when someone gives the creator money through ko fi using paypal their name (legal name) is revealed on invoice so does that happen with stripe as well?

i’ve heard with stripe, creators can hide their legal name and use another which shows up on invoices but im unsure if it’s true

hi! I actually had this same concern and did a lot of poking around for how different platforms handle this while setting up my commissions so I will attempt to answer! disclaimer I am just a guy who is bad with technology so there is a chance I am wrong about things ok here’s a readmore attempt click to get Snek’s business knowledge

this is actually the main reason I rly like stripe, you can customize pretty much everything clients will see including how much information about yourself you want to give away- I literally only have 3amsnek as my name in there, it’s just my business name (the Public Details section of settings lets you mess with this as much as you like, it’s under the Business Settings category)

it gives my country & state on some invoices but no further details (I can’t remember if state is mandatory or I clicked on the wrong button somewhere setting it up but I can’t disable it so keep that in mind) (I can change it along with everything else in my info though)

you do need to give Stripe all of your information for legal and payment purposes which can be kinda intimidating to set up but within my account I can customize what name will show up everywhere it shows up, put a different email than the one I signed up with as a customer support email to go at the bottom of receipts, decide specifically how much of my location is shown- idk if this is super clear bc I’m not at all experienced in Business Advice but by my memory/experience it doesn’t even ask for a Firstname Lastname name anywhere that’ll be shown to customers

for the record I’ve never actually used paypal bc my account got nuked within a day of making it and they have simply refused to fix it so I don’t have a direct comparison from personal experience but from my various hours of research trying to put comms together it seemed like paypal will always give everyone involved in the transaction a stupid amount of information about each other and there rly isn’t much to do about it/things can’t be changed ever or at least without huge difficulty and my experience with Stripe has been not that at All,,, it’s been very nice tbh I even found a whole invoices feature that allows international bank transfers as a payment method making a workaround for people who only have paypal & no card

if this is still confusing you can dm me and I’ll send you a picture of my checkout page/invoice/email receipt templates, it rly only shows my profile picture for stripe which I selected and can change (for me it’s the same dragon I use for my ko-fi header) and my business name in big letters at the top to say who you’re paying and then it’s the checkout/payment setup for the client (looks like any other online shopping checkout thing rly) - I haven’t been able to Confirm confirm that this all shows up properly on receipts as I don’t rly have a way to run a test with it with actual payment but it shows you what all the graphics are set to show up as in your account (under Branding in settings, same Business Settings box as Public Details is in) and you can change all of it any time (I do think you can also send blank test receipts to yourself)

hopefully this helps clarify things? at this point of using it for a couple months I would say I’d recommend Stripe- I’ve been rly pleased with it so far, especially with this specific topic :]

#snek asks #anon asks à la snek #If I’m misreading this and you’re asking how much information I can see about clients- full name on the card used and zip code is all I get #(sometimes that’s hard to find with invoices too I’ve noticed) #and tbh I’ve got adhd I can pretty much guarantee if I’ve seen a name you don’t want seen it is Not sticking around in the ol noggin #I’m pretty sure the person receiving the payment Does need to know A Name involved for keeping records & tax purposes #that’s kinda always the case with transactions #but yeah paypal SUCKS about legal names #(< can’t use it at all bc I was still in the middle of getting new ids after changing mine when I made my account so they apparently Still #don’t believe I exist) #if I did misread this. whoops. here is a lot of business information you did not want or need? bon appetit? #but I Think im on the right track #short answer: shockingly little and you can rly customize. everything it’s pretty neat #thank u for thinking I am enough of a Professional Businessman to answer questions im honored hopefully I did not get something very wrong 👍

...... i think if i had a disco oc theyd be a fortune teller who's actually a conman like. genuinely think that with the right skills you could have a great fortune teller conman for revachol

#my posts #and for organization #disco elysium #my ocs #i already have my beautiful girl ft #like she's sorta like that but not quite. she's less of a conman #but for de? an oc with high empathy. conceptualization. reaction speed. maybe suggestion maybe drama? #they will create a beautiful tale of what their client wants or needs to hear #wether it's the equivalent of tarot or palm readings or some sort of divination thing you can get on elysium.. #.... they have a jar with pale water. they use it as a tool for scrying #..... i can't sleep so instead this happened help is 5 am #.... but i just like conman characters who like. want money. but also relatively mean well. but not always #'oh no i see a hard time ahead of you. but worry not! for if you buy this bracelet it will help keep that's bad luck surrounding you away!' #and similar.. they would.. #also i guess they'd need a decent terrific still level too in case someone doesn't believe them. maybe #still a bit unsure of I'm doing the skills right lmao #gonna go back into trying to sleep now that I'm not worried about fully forgetting about this

#woke up today with a looming sense of dread #i'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face because of minor inconvenients #i have no energy and find no joy in anything... #wouldn't you guess i'm due my period any time now... #every month i'm more convinced i have pmdd... and every month i'm full to the brim with anxiety and depression... #this is SO FUCKING FUN! #also yeah yeah i need to go to a doctor i need to speak to someone about this and i need to get medicated #i don't deserve to feel like this periods shouldn't debilitate you this much etc etc... #i don't think there's a human professional in this country that believes pmdd is a thing enough to medicate me #i know for a fact that my mother (a person i live with and in some way still holds power over me whether on purpose or by my own issues) #doesn't believe is a thing because she's the kind of person who says depressed people just need to ''choose happiness'' so... #not exactly a possibility now #not to mention i FUCKED UP the only regular client i had and now i won't be earning enough money to waste on doctor appointments #just to have some old male doctor tall me my ''womanly problems aren't bad enough'' so... yeah not doing that #ANYWAYS i don't see hope in the world today this will pass in a few weeks and everything will be fine #why don't i go watch good omens and maybe i'll calm down am i right? #lol #angel talks #personal

[lorillee]

yeah um. doubt

#lorillee liveblogs aa4 #maybe THIS phoenix would. but not my phoenix of 7 years ago #who actually put some stock in justice and had a set of beliefs #and wouldve been happy to lose if his client was guilty #and wouldve filed for a retrial had he lost if he still believed his client was innocent #and was notably not fighting over honor or pride or ego. why did you become a von karma in the worst way possible 😔🙏

Every time I see someone post about their muse’s mental/emotional problems I keep visualizing Jin going like this:

#Out of Time (OOC) #for context: Jin is my oc who is a therapist that is desperate to get clients #bc you can count the amount of people who believe in mental health in this world on one hand and still have fingers left over #she REALLY wants to get people to open up to both help and to yknow not be homeless #so whenever she can tell someone's got issues she definitely just might try to hit them up #give them the 'please i can tell you're damaged let me help you' discount #anyway i'll delete this in a bit i just thought this was funny

its really something how much naruto advocates for friendship and caring for others in part one considering how little of that was offered to him for most of his childhood. when he did receieve it it hit him so hard he can't stand for anyone taking it for granted

#fillers are beautiful and amazing #yes sometimes they are stupid #but if theyre stupid in like wow why are the kids picking flowers LET THEM PICK FLOWERS #no but actually he gets so angry and feral he had to be physically held back... #in the first part his pushing his views onto others is so different from shippuden #bc its him genuinely not understanding how some people dont just inherently care and give up their whole selves to be loved #its him getting angry seeing people not appreciate their friends and giving up when they could still achieve their dreams #bc thats all him he sees a little of himself in everyone #its how he connects and in the first part its great bc again #hes not some hero #hes just some rowdy angry 12 y/o orphan ninja #but he cares so so so much #and like kakashi said he IS a good guy to have on your side bc once he believes it he believes so hard #and its also beautiful bc again he projects. hard. but once he gets to know whatever filler client #he always always always understands #even the ones he clashes with #he still understands and respects them and learns about the shinobi world #and how the system affects individuals #but in SHIPPUDEN him projecting and getting angry is all. #village based. wtf how could you not love the village. #bc that inherent caring and need of approval and desire to fulfill his dreams.... #has gotten attached to his need for approval from the village and how much he was affected by their mistreatment #but since he refuses to accept HE was mistreated and does NOT need their approval actually #he keeps projecting those same ideas to others and getting upset when they dont feel the same bc its been #so embedded into him now #naruto.. my best friend naruto......

this is closest to the safest place I have to vent (there are no safe spaces anymore lmao, hate the new internet) so excuse the vent in the tags.

#shin vents #tag vent #could I get. just. could I PLEASE fucking get clients who can READ. #I'm not even asking for pre-reading my ToS I'm not even asking for research or vetting your artist #((which YOU SHOULD DO oh my fucking GODS read the fucking terms of service of the artist you are handing money to my FUCKING GODS)) #I am asking for clients who have already sent me a message #to READ THE MESSAGE I SENT BACK #IN FULL #*BEFORE* RESPONDING #I cannot BELIEVE I have to CONSISTENTLY read and process and filter THREE PLUS RESPONSES #because someone - a real human being - cannot fucking READ THE WORDS I SENT #I told them! I told them the FOUR ITEMS OF INFO I NEED #and I STILL got MULTIPLE responses!!! #you know that fucking ''this meeting could have been an email'' #THESE SEVEN NOTES COULD HAVE BEEN ONE NOTE #how is this so hard how is this an endless consistent problem #don't you have anxiety?? don't you re-read your message drafts 3493480957 times before you send them?? #why would you fucking - WHO would fucking - HOW MANY NOTES DO YOU NEED TO SEND? #this one isn't that egregious but I have had a Week I have had a February and I am TIRED of clients who REFUSE to read #like? it's obvious that you're literate. you just sent me 3+ paragraphs of your fantasy in extreme unnecessary detail #but you can't read MY WORDS I SENT YOU. come the FUCK on. #I am so tired and pissed off and exhausted and this is NOT helping #I don't like google forms :( I really don't want to use them #is there another fucking forms site I could use bc this is ridiculous #how many times am I going to have to fucking. ugh. ugh. #other fucking people don't deal with this. how do I attain an audience of such size that I don't have to deal with it anymore. sighs #tldr if you're ordering something from anyone please answer all of the questions you are asked right away

[chstart]

i've wound up mentioning it in a couple of convos n posts already but thinkin abt how phoenix's whole "full acquittal or nothing" overachiever way of practice even just in theory has a short life expectancy & can bite him in the ass real easily, & how both engarde's & atishon's cases are perfect examples of this, with phoenix's reputation being that of not only not losing any cases but also getting perfect acquittals every time (in jfa's case he hadn't lost once since his court debut two years ago & had only been getting full acquittals, & in dd's case he had a singular loss with engarde personally begging to be declared guilty & an unresolved trial with gramarye disappearing before a verdict could be handed, forged evidence or no). not only does the all or nothing mentality risk clouding judgement mid-case, it literally endangers him & those around him because his reputation of getting perfect acquittals even in cases where all the evidence seems to point at the defendant makes him a good target for blackmail. he always gets the verdict he's demanding. & esp after the whole gramarye thing taints the world's view of phoenix, why wouldn't some people who are fully aware they're guilty of wrongdoing still seek out phoenix wright?? after all, who's to say all those wins were legitimate?? prosecutors aren't the only capable of perjury & tampering with evidence.

#long way of me saying OOOUUUUGGGHHH phoenix you & your shitty savior complex.................. #i think it Is only after the 7yg that nick lets himself get comfortable w the idea that not all his clients will be innocent #he still hopes for full acquittals where he believes they apply.... but if the evidence & all the turning things around tells him otherwise #he's more concerned with the truth & is willing to change his pleas accordingly #it really does just happen that being a walking lie detector + years of learning to look for tells from trucy means he gets lucky #lucky enough to only take on fully innocent clients #for a time at least #god two more sleep till aj trilogy................... #ooc. butterdog. the dog with the butter.
