three weeks' worth of reading [dec. 23 - jan. 12]
between christmas/nye/my bday, the horrors of having to go back to work and a routine in general, and the fact that i've been a little ill, i've not been reading a lot of fic. so this week's episode is actually three week's worth of reading instead of the usual one week. here’s what i read in the last few weeks, in case you’re feeling uninspired, overwhelmed by choice or just too tired to scroll through your marked for later/many opened tabs!
[❣️ marks a personal favourite, 💦 a particularly hot one, ⚡ is for when you want your heart kicked, and ☁️ for a soft and gentle hug]

Headlights in the Snow by Saras_Girl [hp, drarry, M, 71k]

Old Song, Love Song. by Random2002 [aftg, andreil, T, 14k]
Nathaniel likes his life, he has a job he likes and friends he cares about. Millport is a small town where nothing really happens but those two things make his life quite pleasant. Until a stranger comes to town and with him he brings a storm that stirs up new feelings in Nathaniel. His small town starts feel too small.

More than just the Demon.
#ffxiv#digital art#zenos yae galvus#venat#endwalker spoilers#will forever be fascinated with this man#look guys look- the literal embodiment of wol's wings of hope LOL (and me going hehe about that and footfalls)#the part of me that adores digging into the nuance of character writing (intentional or otherwise) is just latched onto zenos#and venat-- they cant just give us two characters who get really important 1v1 duels#and ask really important questions#and love the MC and are willing to risk themselves so unconditionally#and have them not live rent free in my brain#--and maybe this tiptoes into the realm of crack theory so beware there will be a lot past here--#but I cant help but think zenos is akin to an oracle or warrior of light but was tempered/corrupted by zodiark#or some strange happenstance of varis (who shares visual traits to golbez before 6.0 ever came out and the dark mana burst)#and carosa (who it seems zenos got his looks from- and he already looks like he has ties to venat and argos like minfillia does)#was he a result of the eternal chess match between the two parties' machinations? or just some strange twist of fate?#another day of him being “emet's successful experiment” (again- intentional or no) making me thonk#theres something so strange about the final days dreams and how dark aspected he is- that his void abilities are more tied to him tbh#yet his mannerisms beyond just what he's been through almost reminds me of light corruption and the uncanny calmness#we see in most beings associated with the light in any significant way and like second phase eden shiva#he almost has all the marks of someone who shouldve already had the echo or blessing of light but for one reason or another#was unable to hear hydaelyns call#of course it doesnt help i mentally associate him with connections to zero and how she was corrupted before she was even born#and durante- who states uncanny ability and connection with light and darkness and yet favors dark magic more#i simply live with the idea that zenos' soul was an eternally faithful companion to wol's and#this time the cardinal sin of separating the pair finally happened to rather dire consequences lmao

se non mi rispetti, mi perdi. Ok agli errori, alle mancanze, ad una svista, agli impegni che ti affollano la testa. Ma se mi manchi di rispetto e ti aspetti pure che per me sia "normale", mi perdi. Non c'è molto su cui discutere. Con il mio valore tu non ci giochi, con il mio tempo non ci giochi, con il mio impegno non ci giochi. Punto.
zoe, patetic.

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.
I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.
The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.
Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.
I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.
#i also hear the bro code thing in tandem with his comments on saying he knows Jimmy but that is also in a much different context than#if he said it when Anya was actively telling him about the dead pixel or the pregnancy or even when she told jimmy that was about himself#and getting between Anya and Jimmy as in he knows Jimmy and knows he wont try anything when hes around not that he doesnt think hes#doing anything or doesn't believe Anya and Im a bit annoyed people shorthand or try to recontextualize the statements he makes about it#cause even the let me talk to him line is more in concern of what Jimmy could be doing and less wanting to make sure hes okay and#being more worried about his friend than Anya in that moment like removing the context makes the sentiments sound more uncaring#and typically but the context is how they are deconstructed to give the story and themes a deeper nuance because Anya is happy that Curly#says that becuase he leads it under the idea of protecting her as he knows and she has likely seen/experienced it enough that Jimmy#back down/off around Curly typically as we see he does relatively subdue Jimmy's attitude before the eval and it only gets bad once the#scene at the birthday party happens when Jimmy is likely in a mode where hes not going to listen to Curly about anything after cause he fee#personally betrayed in a selfish egotistical way like the game is a deconstruction nothing is supposed to a typical one to one on the#concepts it handles. this also ties to me like getting more and more annoyed everytime is see a post making Curly the most milktoast#no opinions ever sort of guy when he does have a personality outside of enabling Jimmy and has opinions on things like the QnA's#talking about him being snow Tony Hawk flesh him out more realistically than think pieces saying he has no opinions on anything#and would never take stances like this is a immediate dire circumstance with multiple facets I dont think hed hesitate to help if he active#saw like someone getting attacked on the street or that hes a centrist that doesnt care about womans issues like this is the equivalent#of when a character gets dumbed down to their like favorite food and one defining aspect of themselves and even then I feel like everyone#else but the mouthwashing fandom has a better grasp of that aspect before they make it unrecognizable.#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#ask#anon

Ti va qualche giorno di parlare? Voglio dire davvero, e mi racconti cosa ti tormenta e mi dici che cosa ti spaventa e mi racconti perché sei sempre di fretta, mi dici come mai ti sembra che di ogni cosa per te ci sia solamente una fetta, mi dici dove vorresti essere e perché e mi dici come mai sei ancora qui.

Stavo leggendo i post di @arreton e la sua situazione lavorativa terribile.
Oggettivamente mi sono sentita un po' una merda a lamentarmi della mia situazione perché non mi posso lamentare troppo (e infatti giuro che del lavoro non mi lamenterò più di tanto - lo dico soprattutto a me stessa).
Però ho simpatizzato tanto per quanto riguarda il mio vecchio lavoro. Anche io, che me sono andata dopo 6 mesi, non volevo quasi andarmene anche se quel lavoro e le 3h di viaggio giornaliere mi stavo facendo andare di matto. Mi dicevo: i colleghi sono carini, il lavoro è abbastanza facile e mi sono pure abituata, il posto che mi hanno assegnato è per ricchi e io lo posso sfruttare a gratis. Che altro voglio? Però, come ho detto recentemente all'amico americano:"I don't know, something felt wrong". Era più una sensazione che una convinzione forte, eppure mi sono messa a cercare altro tra le pause pranzo e i (centellinati) venerdì in smartworking e, a ripensarci (e ogni tanto lo faccio) è stata la scelta migliore che potessi fare nella mia vita.
Poi però ho pensato a chi è intorno a me e, purtroppo situazioni peggiori della mia, ce ne sono eccome.
Infatti, c'è un ragazzo fiorentino che praticamente non vedo da mesi e che pure lavora nella ristorazione. Pure lui sfruttato fino al midollo lavora 12h al giorno e ovviamente anche nei weekend. Ha comunque i suoi 2 giorni di riposo, però, ecco nessuno lo vede più da una vita. Per carità la situazione è comunque migliore perché un contratto ce l'ha (gli hanno persino sponsorizzato il visto lavorativo), uno stipendio anche (non molto alto, però, da ste parti, chi è che lo ha alto? Almeno se campa in qualche modo...).
Insomma, la verità è che sicuramente in Italia (e al sud) la situazione è molto spesso tragica, ma non è che fuori se sta da Dio a fare i pashà eh.
È proprio sto mondo in toto che recentemente gira proprio male... dovunque uno sia.

Il mio reale contributo in questa azienda dopo 8 anni di lavoro:
Tumblr media
Fluent German and English language skills (spoken and written)
Quindi niente più stranieri, solo tedeschi originali. Con i guai che hanno passato con me, si guardano bene dal rifare una terza volta lo stesso errore (hanno assunto una israeliana 3 anni dopo in inglese per vessarla poi con la lingua, mettendo questa ragazza in fortissima difficoltà e penalizzandola verso gli altri). Almeno daje e daje hanno imparato la coerenza, non ad assumere la gente che non sa il tedesco e poi fare mobbing affinché lo imparino (perché legalmente non posso costringerti ad impararlo, vale quello che c'è scritto nel contratto).
Però poi frignano, sui giornali.
"Non abbiamo abbastanza persone disponibili, abbiamo bisogno urgente di dottori, infermieri, idraulici, ingegneri, insegnanti!". Perché loro sono bravissimi a raccontarsi come il paese più avanzato del mondo, per poi fare ragionamenti che manco i miei paesani al Sud.
Questo paese sta fallendo, e io ho abbastanza risorse messe da parte da masticare popcorn godendo sulle loro disgrazie.
Devono morire. Male.

Ho imparato a misurare le persone in base alla capacità di dire tre cose:
“Scusa”.
“Ho sbagliato”.
“Ti voglio bene”.

influencer faranno una (1) lezione all’università su invito o, se proprio proprio, un micro-seminario, sempre su invito, con cui l’ateneo prova a capitalizzare sulla partecipazione studentesca, e si chiameranno professori universitari. così, a sentimento
