Hey, do you have any resources for writing a character that’s well versed in business/tech bro speak? Or, I guess, any tips on how to write something like that in a way that doesn’t make my lack of knowledge obvious?
Sadly no 😔 anybody else here who can help?
#it's not my field#not even close to it#and I never had any interest in that culture#so I wouldn't even know where to start#my only advice would be to read some linkedin posts?? there is a lot of frat tech boys there apparently? so yeah#home we can reach someone who actually know how to help#writing#writers#writer#writers woes#wip#good reference#tech bros#tech bro slang#thanks for the ask :)#ask

[Gritting my teeth to avoid leaving a bitchy comment on LinkedIn of all places]
#poll about 'how much of your resume is AI generated?' and there is not a 0% option#and i really would have liked to have been like#'why would you need an ai to write your resume? i wouldnt hire someone with an ai genrated resume. its giving lazy and inept'#but i chose not to because every comment you make on something posts up to your main profile#and i need a job right now so i'm afraid it'll make me look bad somehow#i am on linkedin at midnight because i cannot sleep and am having heart palpitations because of stress 🫠#so i am trying to do something about it by firing off a few applications

sure would love to feel something other than Sad About Being Unemployed for just a bit 😩😔
#my diary#it's only 10 days into the year#I saw a post on linkedin (I know) about how q1 hiring this year is probably going to be slow because of the incoming president#and that remote work is going to keep disappearing#I'm just really tired and discouraged#my prospects are already so limited#and my health keeps getting worse so the list of things I can do for money keeps shrinking#I really need my financial situation to change for the better asap#could sure go for a lucky break right about now#a massive advance to write a novel would sure be nice#sure wish those were easier to come by#the problem is you have to be somebody for opportunities to come to you#and I have only ever been nobody#idek if I know how to be somebody

the job search is fucking bleak right now
#being a writer and looking for work means linkedin is showing me 900000 posts of OTHER WRITERS talking about how much they love chatgpt#and how they use it 'as a tool' to 'make their work better and restructure their thoughts to improve them'#like im fucking sorry. try harder. use your own fucking brain#i have ZERO work ethic and i STILL dont use AI to do much fucking job#and im GOOD AT IT. the things i write WIN AWARDS on a fucking INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.#not to brag on tunglr dot hell but like. god im so fucking tired of it. DO BETTER. FUCK OFF. KILL AI.

if I've learned anything from grad school it's to check your sources, and this has proven invaluable in the dozens of instances when I've had an MBA-type try to tell me something about finances or leadership. Case in point:
Firefox serves me clickbaity articles through Pocket, which is fine because I like Firefox. But sometimes an article makes me curious. I'm pretty anal about my finances, and I wondered if this article was, as I suspected, total horseshit, or could potentially benefit me and help me get my spending under control. So let's check the article in question.
It mostly seems like common sense. "...track expenses and income for at least a month before setting a budget...How much money do I have or earn? How much do I want to save?" Basic shit like that. But then I get to this section:
This sounds fucking made up to me. And thankfully, they've provided a source to their claim that "research has repeatedly shown" that writing things down changes behavior. First mistake. What research is this?
Forbes, naturally, my #1 source for absolute dogshit fart-sniffing financial schlock. Forbes is the type of website that guy from high school who constantly posts on linkedin trawls daily for little articles like this that make him feel better about refusing to pay for a decent package for his employees' healthcare (I'm from the United States, a barbaric, conflict-ridden country in the throes of civil unrest, so obsessed with violence that its warlords prioritize weapons over universal medical coverage. I digress). Forbes constantly posts shit like this, and I constantly spend my time at leadership seminars debunking poor consultants who get paid to read these claims credulously. Look at this highlighted text. Does it make sense to you that simply writing your financial goals down would result in a 10x increase in your income? Because if it does, let me make you an offer on this sick ass bridge.
Thankfully, Forbes also makes the mistake of citing their sources. Let's check to see where this hyperlink goes:
SidSavara. I've never heard of this site, but the About section tells me that Sid is "a technology leader who empowers teams to grow into their best selves. He is a life-long learner enjoys developing software, leading teams in delivering mission critical projects, playing guitar and watching football and basketball."
That doesn't mean anything. What are his LinkedIn credentials? With the caveat that anyone can lie on Linkedin, Mr. Savara appears to be a Software Engineer. Which is fine! I'm glad software engineers exist! But Sid's got nothing in his professional history which suggests he knows shit about finance. So I'm already pretty skeptical of his website, which is increasingly looking like a personal fart-huffing blog.
The article itself repeats the credulous claim made in the Forbes story earlier, but this time, provides no link for the 3% story. Mr. Savara is smarter than his colleages at Forbes, it's much wiser to just make shit up.
HOWEVER. I am not the first person to have followed this rabbit hole. Because at the very top of this article, there is a disclaimer.
Uh oh!
Sid's been called out before, and in the follow up to this article, he reveals the truth.
You can guess where this is going.
So to go back to the VERY beginning of this post, both Pocket/Good Housekeeping and Forbes failed to do even the most basic of research, taking the wild claim that writing down your budget may increase your income by 10x on good faith and the word of a(n admittedly honest about his shortcomings) software engineer.
Why did I spend 30 minutes to make a tumblr post about this? Mostly to show off how smart I am, but also to remind folks of just how flimsy any claim on the internet can be. Click those links, follow those sources, and when the sources stop linking, ask why.
#long post#side note- this is one of the reasons i dont cover shit i dont like in my video essays. yall havent seen me angry.

For the last several months I've been resisting the siren call of machining while enjoying the new-to-me channel Pask Makes, with its woodworking and tool production.
But yesterday I watched two videos from Adam Savage in a row, with all their semi-chaotic plotting, layout work, and winging it. I now desperately need access to a machine shop and I'm being so brave about it.
That said, I have just downloaded FreeCAD to get as close as I can digitally to that thought process without the metal shavings, blue stained fingertips, and sulfuric lubricant smell. Or at least as close as I can for free.
#started writing this post and had to pause for about an hour to search desperately for the name of my Intro to Machining Technology teacher#i'd thought of him and gotten to the point of being *pretty* sure he'd vanished from linkedin before#i confirmed he's definitely not there (or at least not the account that connected with mine)#and another person with his first name overwrote my memory of his last BUT this time i managed to find the right search terms#that pulled up his spot in the school's whitepages directory#so i emailed his school account knowing full well he probably doesn't have access anymore as an old adjunct#i certainly don't - it was almost ten years ago#but if he does or there's some email forwarding possible he's gotten a thank you message#because that was one of the classes i loved the most from my community college and tbh my whole school experience#anyway this isn't just impulsive yearning to machine#if I'm doing it right the project after next will have a lot of assets that parametric modeling would help#including vehicles if I'm brave which i need to be if I'm really using it as an environment artist portfolio piece#specifically they might require nurbs which would need me to download and practice with the silk add-on#which i think common sense dictates should happen after i understand how to use the vanilla toolsets#so gaining that familiarity might be what we're up to some stream soon#ramblings#tag you're writ

this is great. not only have i not done dishes or showered, i also made myself mad about something that happened several years ago AND entertained a beautiful alternate universe in which warso specifically was leaving the prompts that made me lose my mind AND got into an argument about ko over whether i count as an x reader girl on staff of [redacted]. i love the san jose sharks and they love me.
honestly awesome that brodie brazil handed me something to be dramatic about. i was just complaining that i was sleepy but i'm not allowed to nap or i won't sleep for a 2nd night in a row and was listing options of activities, but this is much better. love to be baited by a former nbc broadcaster into posting

Controversial Opinion: The Anti-Sugar Baby Manifesto
Okay, so... does anyone else not want to be Nanami’s sugar baby, Gojo’s dependent, Sukuna’s servant, or insert your favorite emotionally unavailable man’s sidekick?
I’ve read (and loved!) plenty of fics where the reader is in one of these roles. And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying them—power to you if that’s your vibe! But if we’re talking canon or even slightly realistic scenarios… yeah, I just can’t.
Before you start throwing tomatoes 🍅, hear me out. I promise this isn’t a hate post—just my thots.
Alright, buckle up because I’m about to destroy your sugar baby and servant fantasies with my unsolicited, unhinged takes.
Nanami Kento:
You wanna be Ken Doll’s sugar baby? Cute, but be serious. This man is one passive-aggressive comment away from throwing himself into traffic because he hates capitalism that much. He chose exorcisms and certain death over Excel sheets. Excel sheets, babe. If you think he’s gonna work overtime to buy you Versace, you’re delusional.
If I were with him, I’d work harder at my job (I hate corporate too, but not more than I love Nanami) and funnel my salary straight to him. He’d handle it responsibly because I’d just blow it on expensive pens, another PC, and iced tea. But also? I’d keep an emergency fund. Trust no one. Not even your man.
Let’s not forget the workplace romance trope. This man is the epitome of professionalism. He’d never date his coworker, let alone his secretary. Not because you’re not amazing, but because the power imbalance would haunt him. Like, he’d wake up in a cold sweat thinking about HR policies. And I respect that about him bcs same.
Also, please don’t get involved with someone who promises love and then runs to HR if his job’s on the line. (Not Nanami but in general advice.)
The stats don’t lie, and I’m not about to become the next cautionary tale in a LinkedIn post.
Gojo Satoru:
You wanna date Gojo? Cute. Except he wouldn’t date you, let alone spoil you. He wouldn’t date anyone. He’s emotionally constipated, a walking trauma fest, hyperfocused on being the strongest sorcerer alive™️, and allergic to vulnerability.
Most fics turn him into this suave flirt, but let’s be real—canon Gojo struggles with human interaction beyond being a troll. He’s a nerdy dork, so his game is shit even if he wanted to date you.
Y’all write him as this rich sugar daddy, but in reality? He’d spend your entire relationship trolling you, gaslighting you into thinking he’s a “normal guy,” and then disappearing for weeks because he’s busy babysitting teenagers and battling his inner demons.
Also, sugar babies love his money, but be honest—you don’t even like him; you like his black card. Gojo deserves better than being your walking ATM, and you deserve better than a man who’d eat your last snack just because he can.
Gifts are cute, but if he’s doing all the work while I’m chilling? That’s just freeloading.
I'm yet to come across a fic where he takes the time to realize he even wants a relationship, instead of being a pre-established fuckboy who suddenly changes because he found the 'right person.' Let’s be real, that’s not how it works. We shouldn’t glorify men for changing after finding the right person or excuse their past behavior, including any STDs they may have/had.
(Note to self: In future fics, explore his struggle to admit he wants a relationship and the challenges he faces in figuring out how to be in one.)
Haibara Yu:
So, you’re thinking about dating Haibara? Buckle up, ‘cause you’re signing up for a rollercoaster ride where the tracks are constantly under construction. Haibara’s got the energy of someone who just found out about sarcasm, but also the emotional depth of a puddle.
This guy’s all fun and games until you realize he’s like a cat that wants attention, but only on his terms. He’ll say the most unbothered things with that sunshine stare of his, but don’t be fooled. That’s his way of hiding his entire emotional baggage.
One minute, he’s sarcastic and aloof, and the next, he’s unexpectedly clingy, wanting to know if you still like him (even though he’d never admit it). You’ll spend half your time wondering if he actually likes you or if he’s just in a perpetual state of "I’m too cool for this."
Does he care? Absolutly. Expect texts like "I'm fine" followed by a cryptic emoji and zero context.
Dates? Don’t hold your breath. He's too busy trying to be taken seriously.
He’s not a millionaire either. Don’t expect a big grand gesture. His idea of spoiling you? Buying you a drink from the convenience store, giving you stale candy and maybe, just maybe, sending you a playlist of sad songs that “remind him of you.” Yeah, romantic, I know.
He’s not gonna spoil you with gifts, but he’ll share his last pack of gum like it’s the greatest act of love ever. Don’t expect consistency, just an occasional burst of affection sandwiched between long silences and sarcastic banter.
Would he be loyal? Absolutely. Would he constantly second-guess himself and need reassurance that you're not going to leave him because he doesn’t know how to talk about his feelings? Definitely.
Prepare to give him more emotional support than you ever signed up for. Would he adore you? Yes, but he’ll probably think it’s too much work to actually show it. But hey, if you’re into emotional chaos and not knowing where you stand, Haibara’s your guy.
You probably only like him because you know nothing about him.
Ryomen Sukuna:
The “servant/concubine” trope is insane. INSANE. You think Sukuna, the literal King of Curses, is gonna treat you like anything more than a chew toy? The power imbalance isn’t sexy—it’s electric chair. You’d either die mid-hookup (his hands alone could snap you in half) or be tossed into a volcano because you sneezed too loudly.
Be fr—he’d accidentally (or on purpose) kill anyone he sleeps with. The man’s a giant sadist, naturally rough, and has zero chill.
Romance? Nonexistent. Sukuna’s idea of flirting is probably something like, “You’re less annoying than most humans. Barely.” That’s not romantic; that’s verbal abuse with extra steps.
Toji Fushiguro:
This one hurts because Toji’s hot but this man has no money. None. Zero. If you want to date him, you better be ready to cover rent, groceries, and his “post-mission beer fund" because his entire paycheck goes toward sharpening his sword, buying protein powder, and gambling.
Let’s not forget he has a dead wife, and he went off the deep end after her death. Even if you could somehow 'fix' him like the unlicensed therapist you are because you have nothing better to do, he’s a vengeful widower who would leave you randomly for missions—and might not return because he’s driven by the insecurity of proving the Zenins wrong, which would get him killed.
Plus, he’d bring up his dead wife in every argument, saying things like, “She wasn’t this nagging; she didn’t do this or that.” People tend to glorify the dead, and he’d be the prime example of that. How could you compete with the memories of someone his mind has declared perfect?
He’s everyone's wet dream, sure, but do you really wanna date a guy who’d ghost you and leave you with his kid?
And don’t even get me started on his love language. It’s probably, “I killed a guy for you.” That’s cute until the cops show up at your door asking questions.
He might toss you a bone (not like that, calm down), but the idea of me paying for someone who might not even text me back? Pass.
Kamo Choso:
Sweetest man alive. Too pure for this world. But dating him would be like adopting a sad, traumatized puppy who cries every time you leave the room. You’d spend your entire relationship comforting him and Googling “how to help my boyfriend stop mourning his 17 dead brothers.”
He’s too busy laser-focusing on Yuji and going through an identity crisis to even think about being in a relationship. I’d want to protect him, not date him.
Also, his skincare routine is probably better than yours, which is cute until you realize you’ll never be the pretty one in the relationship.
Geto Suguru:
Ah, Babygurl Suguwu. Love him to death (pun intended), but dating him sounds like lifelong therapy.
Do you really wanna date a guy who’s juggling a cult, unresolved trauma, and genocidal tendencies?
His love language is probably “eliminating humanity,” and unless you’re down to join his pyramid scheme of sorcerer supremacy, this is not gonna work.
Also, you will forever be second place to the Gojo-fucking-Satoru.
Be serious. You will never win that chase. He'll leave you mid-sex to go see his 'one & only' babe.
Kashimo Hajime:
Kashimo would date you for the sole purpose of fighting you. He doesn’t want love; he wants violence—he’s looking for someone who can throw hands.
Imagine coming home after a 10-hour shift at work, exhausted, and this man’s standing in your living room like, “I’ve been waiting to test my new technique on you.” No, sir, I want a nap.
And don’t think you can just say no. He’d follow you to the grocery store, the dentist, your grandma’s funeral, like, “We fight now!”
Hiromi Higuruma:
Now, this man’s tempting. Responsible, classy, knows how to argue (a lawyer, duh), but... he’s also on the verge of a midlife crisis.
Do you really wanna date someone who’s one bad day away from snapping? You’d spend most of your time convincing him he’s not a terrible person, and honestly, I don’t have the emotional bandwidth for that. Therapy is expensive, and I already have PTSD from my ex.
Also, he’d probably start arguments just to win them. You think you’re ready for that kind of intellectual warfare 24*7?
Shiu Kong:
Do you like mafia drama? Because that’s what you’re signing up for. Mafia life isn’t sexy—it’s stressful.
You’d be dodging bullets, interrogating his “coworkers” about his whereabouts, and wondering if he’s about to betray you for a promotion.
Also, he's an asshole who's going to disappear after he's done with you; go see the scene before Toji died. Hard pass.
Kusakabe Atsuya:
This man is the king of doing the bare minimum. His love language is probably “napping,” and while that’s cute in theory, it’s less cute when he cancels date night because he “forgot” he had to sleep.
Honestly, he’d be a great friend, but as a partner? You’d be babysitting him.
Takuma Ino:
You wanna date Ino? Adorable. But let’s be real, you’re signing up for 24/7 unpaid emotional labor. Ino’s a golden retriever boy who desperately wants validation, and you’d basically be his therapist, hype woman, and emotional punching bag all rolled into one.
He’d shower you with attention (cute, right?) until you realize he’s also incredibly insecure and needs constant reassurance that he’s “doing a good job.” You’d be his number one fan and his HR department.
He’s not rich either. Like, at all. His idea of spoiling you would be buying you snacks from the konbini and taking you to the movies with coupons. Don’t expect luxury here—expect a man who puts in effort but forgets anniversaries because he was too busy stressing about being a sorcerer who no one takes seriously.
Would he adore you? Yes. Would you want to be adored by someone who still Googles “how to ask her out” while you’re already dating? I’ll let you decide.
Final Thots-
At the end of the day, I’d rather have my own independence than rely on someone else to “take care of me.”
I want a partner—not a sugar daddy, not a servant-master dynamic, not a walking red flag, and definitely not a paycheck.
I'd rather have a househusband who's retired and relaxed than an overworked sugar daddy—or worse, a dead one. Is that too much to ask?
Anyway, this is just my opinion!
If you love those tropes—go off; that’s totally valid. I’m not yucking anyone’s yum. We all have our preferences, and that’s what makes fandom fun.
No hate, just vibes.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I’ll see myself out. 👋
If you still wanna fight, my comments are open, although I will reply like the guy you are fighting for.

𐙚 bad habit pt. 1 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
⌗ pairings: ino takuma x reader, slight! choso x reader
⌗ summary: you met in your first computer science course— not because either of you were brilliant, but because you were both bombed the first quiz and were too stubborn to quit. he’s the guy you kept bumping into at the campus convenience store at 1AM and a habit of muttering “chat, we’re so cooked” under his breath during quizzes. you? you just wanted to pass. and maybe cry in peace. you study together now— a little too often, a little too late. he makes fun of your variable names. you wear his hoodie during all-nighters. and no one says it out loud, but maybe friends who suffer through CS together… fall for each other a little, too.
⌗ word count: 1.8k
♥ pt. 2 ♥ masterlist ♥
You thought getting into the computer science major would be the hardest part.
Beating out a 71% application rate had to mean something.
Surviving weed-out courses, crafting a personal statement that didn’t make you sound like every other overachiever who taught their grandparent how to restart a computer— that was supposed to be your final boss.
Wrong.
Apparently, the game’s just beginning.
Because it’s Week 1 and there’s already a test. Not even a quiz, a full-blown exam worth 15% of your grade.
Not a quiz. A test. The syllabus had said something vague about "assessment checkpoints," but you hadn't realized they'd be checking if you were built for this within the first five days of class.
The professor just breezes through the rest of the syllabus like it’s Terms and Conditions, casually mentioning that attendance points will also be cumulative and mandatory.
Like it was a fun little bonus. Like it wasn’t about to completely derail your mental health.
You are, in every definition of the word, cooked.
Especially since you, in your infinite optimism, decided to skip linear algebra and now he’s name-dropping matrix multiplication like you’re all old friends.
Which, sure, is a prereq— but you thought you could squeeze it in next quarter. Because you thought, “How bad could it be?”
So now you're here, sitting in the second row with your laptop open, staring blankly at the slides you’ve written meticulous notes about, trying to decode phrases like "eigenvector interpretation" while suppressing the urge to scream.
Long story short: you’re fucked.
But you can’t drop. Not when you clawed your way in. Not when you’ve already fantasized about the stupid little LinkedIn post you'll write when you graduate.
You wanted this. This major, this future— you chose it. So now you get to suffer for it.
So instead of clicking “Unenroll,” you find yourself at the campus convenience store at 12:03AM, hoping a Celsius will give you the will to survive reviewing the sheer number of questions you got wrong on that first quiz.
You don’t expect anyone else to be there this late, except maybe the sad grad students.
But while you’re squinting at the flavors, someone rounds the corner of the aisle. There’s the low rumble of skateboard wheels and the crinkle of plastic as he picks up a Red Bull. He’s tall, broad-shouldered, wearing a worn black hoodie and plaid pajama pants like it’s a uniform. And he's—
He’s cute.
Boyish, really. His hair’s a little messy, his under-eye bags dramatic and kind of adorable, and you can’t help but admire how youthful he looks for someone also up past midnight.
You’re not in the mood to crush, not when you’re running on 3 hours of sleep and academic shame, but… God. His eye bags are really cute.
You try not to stare.
You also try not to fall asleep standing up, but your body is fighting you on all fronts. When you move toward the counter to check out, your foot catches on the edge of the aisle carpet.
You stumble forward.
And suddenly, someone’s hand is on your elbow— steady, warm. Holding you up.
You meet his gaze, honey brown eyes, amused and warm.
"Be careful, yeah?"
You mumble a thanks and practically flee to the self-checkout, embarrassed beyond belief. You don’t look back.
The next day, you drag yourself to your professor’s office hours. You’re so tired your vision blurs a little. You’d spent the whole night trying to understand where you went wrong— how you could have possibly missed that many questions on the quiz.
You’re five minutes early. The office is quiet except for the hum of a desk fan. There’s someone already there.
You freeze.
It’s him.
Red Bull guy. Skateboard guy. “Be careful” guy.
He’s sitting across from the professor, leaning over the desk with a notebook open and pen in hand, looking deeply focused. His hoodie’s different today, but just as lived-in.
How the hell did you not notice him in class?
You convince yourself he must be from a different section. You would’ve noticed someone like that, right? The bone structure? You definitely would’ve noticed.
You also assume he’s a TA or grader or something. He just looks so comfortable in here, like he knows what he’s doing. Probably here to help debug someone's recursion disaster.
Until—
“I just don’t get how I got the lowest score,” he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck. “Like, I thought I did alright, but when I checked Canvas it said 35 out of 100. That’s... beyond terrible.”
Your jaw drops.
Thirty-five?
You’re not even sure if that’s comforting or depressing, and nearly choke on your own breath.
You’re not sure if you want to laugh or cry.
On one hand: thank God you’re not the only one struggling. On the other: there’s someone who actually did worse than you
You take a hesitant seat next to him. His gaze flicks toward you.
It takes a second, but he recognizes you too. “Yo,” he says, like you didn’t almost faceplant in front of him nine hours ago.
You blink. “Hi.”
And just like that, you’re no longer alone in your academic downfall.
Because after office hours, just as you’re packing up your laptop with a sense of mild defeat, Ino clears his throat beside you.
“You wanna come study with my tutor?” he asks, eyes hopeful but tired. “Nanami. Took the class last year, has a file of all the assignments. And he interned for Riot Games over the summer, so he actually knows his shit.”
You blink, surprised. “You have a tutor?”
He shrugs, the corner of his mouth twitching in a sheepish grin. “I mean… tutor might be a strong word. More like a friend who’s already survived this mess and doesn’t mind explaining it to the rest of us.”
You hesitate for a moment, but honestly, you really need help, and the idea of learning from someone who’s already been through this feels like a lifeline.
“Okay,” you say, finally giving in. “I’ll come. Riot intern, huh? That’s pretty cool— you actually know someone like that?”
“Yeah, we used to skate together all the time when we were younger. Then we both ended up interning at Riot. He did backend dev, and I was doing data science for Valorant.”
He shrugs, flicking a loose strand of hair behind his ear. “Not that I play PC anymore— too busy trying not to fail this class, honestly.”
His grin turns sheepish but still has that effortless cool that makes you smile back without even trying.
You step out together into the crisp evening air. The campus is quiet, lights flickering on the pavement as students scurry past or lounge on benches, headphones on, notebooks out.
He doesn’t rush like you expect. Instead, Ino slows his pace to match your tired steps. You notice he’s watching you carefully, adjusting his stride so you don’t have to sprint just to keep up.
The gesture is small but feels... considerate. Like he’s already looking out for you, even though you barely know each other.
The walk to the undergrad library takes about ten minutes. Ino casually talks about how he’s been skating since middle school and how he prefers skating at night because the cool breeze helps him relax. When you mention you’ve never learned to skateboard, he laughs and teases that you’d probably be the type to rent a Lime scooter instead.
The library’s glass doors slide open smoothly. Inside, the quiet hum of fluorescent lights and the soft tapping of keyboards greet you. It’s comforting, familiar.
You both find a table tucked in a corner, away from the main clusters of students.
“Here’s the plan,” Ino says, pulling out his laptop. “We wait for Nanami to finish his lecture downstairs, and in the meantime, we try to finish as much of the homework as we can before he gets here to review it.”
You nod, setting up your laptop. You try to start on the first problem, the one about recursion, but your brain immediately threatens to shut down.
Ino leans over your screen, pointing at your code. “You named that variable ‘ballerinaCappuccina’? Dude, what?”
You laugh despite yourself. “More memorable than ‘x’ or ‘temp’, okay?”
He snickers, shaking his head. “You're so brainrot.”
Time slips by as you swap dumb jokes and lament the professor’s cryptic hints. You find yourself relaxing, your earlier dread melting into something softer.
Then the door opens again, and Nanami steps in.
He moves with an easy confidence, glasses sliding down his nose, hair a little tousled but neat. His tee sports a pixelated game logo you recognize, and he’s carrying a backpack that looks surprisingly clean for a CS major.
You glance up, surprised by how different he is from Ino.
If Ino’s energy was all skater-boy charm and casual cool, Nanami's would be hot, slightly nerdy, and intensely focused— like someone who clearly spent all night grinding out code but still somehow looks handsomely tired in the morning.
You catch your breath for a moment.
Cute, you think. Definitely cute.
Ino waves him over. “Yo, Nanami! This is my study buddy— also failing this class with me.”
Nanami gives a small smile as he slides into the seat next to Ino. “Ino, try not to embarrass yourself. It’s not that hopeless— yet.”
With a calm confidence, he starts breaking down the first week's concepts— functions, APIs, database calls— with a precision and clarity that almost makes you think you could pass this class if you had him as your professor.
You and Ino trade notes, nodding along, asking questions, laughing when Nanami mocks the actual professor’s habit of using vague buzzwords.
Between explanations, Nanami looks at you briefly and says, “You’re doing better than most first-timers. Keep at it.”
You feel a warmth spread through your chest.
Hours pass, the late-night study session stretching into the early morning. The three of you share snacks from Ino’s backpack— a sad assortment of Takis, a couple of peach ring gummies, and a can of Red Bull you suspect was bought last night at the convenience store.
You realize, with a little startle, that this is the first time you’ve felt truly at ease since the quarter began.
The three of you fall into a rhythm— Ino’s lighthearted jokes, Nanami's steady patience, and your stubborn determination.
The future still looks impossible.
But for now, with these two by your side, it feels a little less like you’re totally cooked.

things the world needs to prepare for in 2025 in my opinion and why my advice is what it is: the rise of ai / automation of jobs, job loss, geopolitical tensions, war, extreme weather, inflation, tariffs - a potential trade war, a movement of using digital currency, the outbreak of another illness, etc.

Meanie - KSJ (18+)
Pairing: Mean Boss! Seokjin X Fem employee! Reader
Theme: PWP, smut
Wordcount: 900+
Summary: Kim Seokjin is mean and incredibly hot.
Warnings: Blow job, oral, mean boss, not so appropriate sex, things are fully consented between them. NSFW!!
Minors are not allowed in this blog!!
A/N: here is the mean Jin I wanted to write since the moment these photos dropped <3
Masterlist | Patreon
Two rough fingers land on your jaw, tightening around the angle harshly making your eyes tear up even more.
“That’s all?” he asks, gritting his perfect set of teeth, “that’s all your smart mouth can do? Can’t even deep throat me? You whore!”
If it was another time - if it was not this situation - as in you on your knees, sucking Kim Seokjin off, then he would have to pay for this degradation.
You would have filed a defamation case for calling you derogatory names and would make sure that he sees the face of prison even if it’s only for a day.
But the situation you are currently in… is kind of compromising.
You had come to his cabin, slammed your resignation on his dark wood table, called him a selfish prick who wants nothing more than money and money. You threatened him that you would post about the company’s toxic work atmosphere in Linkedin and would give a one star review in Glassdoor but things turned around very quickly.
Things accelerated from one argument to another (it’s only you who argued, he only replied calmly yet sharply), and now you are on your knees, mouth stuffed with his rock hard cock that you can’t even put in your mouth properly.
You are but a woman and Kim Seokjin is way too handsome and tempting to turn down.
He grabs the back of your neck and pushes your mouth more on his shaft. Your drool rolls down the back of his cock and your chin then drops on your shirt making it look darker than the original color.
“Take me properly, Y/N!” Seokjin groans.
It’s not your fault that you can’t take him. You are not inexperienced by any means but he is just so fucking big.
You reel back to the time when you laughed at your co-worker for spreading the “Kim Seokjin has a giant dick” rumor. You thought he would be just average.
But oh boy! Were you wrong!
Tears prickle at the corner of your eyes as you try to take him full. The tip nudges at the back of your throat and makes you gag instantly.
Seokjin thrusts up and things become ten times harder.
But who are you to complain? Especially because your panties are ruined already and you can only think of how good his cock would feel inside you. If you complain now, it will make you nothing but a hypocrite.
You start bobbing your head matching the rhythm of your predator’s thrusts. Your free hand comes up to fondle his balls.
Seokjin moans. And you feel a weird and useless sense of pride.
Turning your bobs faster, you start sucking on him hard. You can feel him twitching inside the walls of your mouth.
His breaths soon turn heavy, short-lived and ragged.
You are not doing much better.
It’s embarrassing to say but you feel the familiar coil in your abdomen regardless of not being touched.
You rock your hips seeking for the tiny bit of friction that your own legs can provide you.
But that catches Seokjin’s eyes.
“Rutting against nothing huh? Such a desperate slut!” he degrades you more with a lopsided smile playing on his beautiful face.
You don’t reply - of course he is right.
He slams his pelvis on your face. Your nose collides with his pubic hair, making the intensity of your arousal wilder.
Seokjin moans prettily again as his hip shudders and he cums inside your mouth. His hand on the back of your neck goes tiger, “swallow it!” he commands.
You comply. You try to swallow his disposal without wasting a drop. And while doing so, you cum undone wetting your leggings.
When he is satisfied with your act, he pulls himself out from your mouth. His cock is glistening with his arousal and your spit.
The mixture of the same runs down your chin making you look even messier.
“Get up.” he orders again. You do so without voicing any protest.
“Oh ho!” his eyes are fixed on the apparent wet spot on your leggings, “you came in your pants? So pathetic of you,Y/N.”
Now that you are coming down from your high, shame washes over you.
You were here to resign from the job after he canceled your vacation application but you ended up doing things you never thought you would.
“I will take my leave” you reply with downcast eyes, turning your heels already to pick up your bag and leave.
“Did I say you can leave?” he stands up from his over-expensive chair. Walking towards where you are standing, he closes the gap between your bodies.
“I just resig-”
“I don’t accept it.” he tugs a loose strand of hair behind your ears.
“I am kind of mean, you see. I strive to keep the things that I like to myself and myself only.” he continues and gives you a sickeningly sweet smile.
“Now come, let me fuck the brat out of you. So that you have more spice to add to that glassdoor review when I piss you off next time.” his finger traces the path of your shirt and lands on your chest. He circles his digit around your clothed nipple. You feel your arousal rushing back to you.
Now if Kim Seokjin wants to fuck you, who are you to reject? But you are not as docile as he thinks you are.
“Only if you accept the vacation application, Sir.”

Drowning
A/N: Not sure how I feel about this one but I'm currently going through this situation with my boyfriend and I thought that writing about it might help me feel better. Haven't gotten to the part where I talk to him about it but maybe this will inspire me.
It was late. Too late. You should be sleeping but it was impossible with your mind racing. You and Bucky had been together for almost a year now but you never really felt secure in your relationship with him. Maybe it was the way that your last boyfriend had broken up with you out of nowhere. You wish you knew why, but you always felt like Bucky was going to run.
As much as you loved him, you also wanted more from him. More reassurance. More romance. More small gestures to show you that he cared. And you couldn’t blame him for not giving them to you when you hadn’t asked but as much as you preached the importance of communication to your friends, you were a hypocrite. You could never apply that to your own relationship.
Everytime you tried to express your feelings, you couldn’t do it. What if I’m right? What if I tell him that I’m afraid he’s gonna leave and he finally takes it as his chance to do so? You would think. Or what if I plant the idea in his head?
All of this was made harder by the fact that you were younger than him. While he was established with a career, living on his own, you had just graduated college and were back living with your parents. Finding a job felt nearly impossible despite the countless resumes and cover letters that you sent out every single day. Your brain constantly flashed back to a conversation you had in May, where you asked him if you would stay together when you moved back home. Your hometown was less than an hour from where Bucky lived in Brooklyn, so in your mind it was a no brainer. But when your question opened up a conversation that blindsided you.
Bucky explained that he was ready to be settled down. You were shocked when he had said the words, “Sometimes it feels like we have an expiration date.”
The next morning he said he was being ridiculous. That he loved you and of course the two of you would figure it out. But ever since then, you hadn’t been able to relax. Even now, a month into you living back at home you still couldn’t shake the feeling that he was going to change his mind. You saw him just as often as you had when you were still living in the city. You didn’t mind taking the train to go see him 3 or 4 times a week. But the stress and anxiety was weighing on you. Combined with adjusting to post-grad life, you were not doing well.
You had never felt so lonely in your life. All of your college friends had also moved back to their hometowns while most of your friends from high school were still dispersed around the country. The job search left you feeling defeated every single day. And the lack of things to do and structure made life feel meaningless. It was safe to say that you had hit a low point.
But you wanted to hide it all from Bucky. Because what if you brought up how hard it was to find a job and he realized that this wasn’t going to work? What if you told him how lonely you were and he was offended that he wasn’t enough? He knew that you struggled with anxiety and he was no stranger to mental health issues of his own but you just found it impossible to open up to him about all of this.
So there you were, in the midst of another sleepless night overthinking everything. Laptop opened, frantically searching on LinkedIn for jobs in the hopes that one thing just might work out. You read back your text messages from the past few days. Does he seem distant, or is my stupid brain playing tricks on me? As your spiral continued, you could feel a panic attack brewing. You tried your best to focus on your breathing but it became impossible. You just wanted to talk to Bucky. You needed to talk to Bucky.
Fuck it, you thought. Losing him would be horrible, but so is living in this fear. Through your tears and shaking hands, you typed a message.
Y/N: Are you awake?
You shook your legs and bit your nails as you stared at the screen waiting for those three dots to show up.
Bucky: Yeah.
You took a deep breath as you sent the next message, trying to not go crazy over the dry single word he had responded with.
Y/N: Can I call you?
You desperately wished you could be with him right now to have this conversation. To analyze his body language in person. But you weren’t with him and you wouldn’t see him til the end of the week and you needed to get this out. Now.
Bucky: It’s late. I’m trying to get some sleep.
You knew work had been kicking his ass lately. He was putting in insane hours, usually waking up at 6 and not finishing up til midnight. You knew he needed to rest and you almost responded back saying nevermind, and goodnight. But no. You needed to be a little selfish or you would crumble. Tonight felt like a turning point. Or a breaking point.
Y/N: Please Bucky. I really need to talk to you.
Bucky: Ok
Pressing dial on his name, you felt your heart rate increase even more. You tried to take deep breaths to calm your tears but it didn’t help. You were practically sobbing by the time he answered the call. “Bucky…” you said into the phone.
At hearing your voice, Bucky was alert. He could tell that something was wrong. You had never cried in front of him. “Y/N? Baby, what's wrong? What's going on?” His desire for sleep was completely gone. All he cared about was you. He knew that he wasn’t the best boyfriend. He knew he could treat you better. But the years of trauma he had experienced made it hard for him to be vulnerable with anyone. He loved you so much that it hurt him and he hated himself that he couldn’t fully give himself to you.
“Bucky, I’m not okay. I’m really really not okay,” you practically hyperventilated. “I don’t know what to do. I can’t keep living like this. I can’t.”
“Shhh, can you take some deep breaths for me?” He said calmly. “I need you to calm down and tell me what's going on.” He listened quietly as he heard you breathe deeply.
“Bucky, I’m terrified,” you finally spoke after a couple of minutes. “I don’t feel secure in our relationship. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells constantly because I’m petrified that you’re gonna leave. That one day you’re just gonna decide that you’re done with me because I’m too young and I live with my parents and I don’t have a job. And trying to find a job has really been taking a toll on me. I’m trying so fucking hard but it feels impossible. It’s so defeating waking up every single day to an email inbox full of rejections and I feel worthless and stupid. I’m not doing well not being in college anymore. I don’t have any structure to my days and life feels really fucking pointless right now. I’m so lonely. Fuck, I’m so lonely, Buck.” You took a pause, bracing yourself for his response.
“Baby, why haven’t you brought this up sooner? Why haven’t you told me any of this?” There was genuine shock in his voice.
“Because!” You cried. “I don’t want to remind you about how hard it is to find a job right now. I don’t want you to think about the fact that I live with my parents now while you have your own independent life. I never want to remind you of it because I don’t want you to change your mind and leave. And I don’t want you to think that you’re not enough for me because I’m lonely. I love you so much but I just… I really fucking miss my friends.”
“Y/N, I need you to listen to me. Like, really listen to me. I am well aware of your situation. I know it’s hard to find a job right now. I’m not gonna leave you, okay? I’m committed to this. To you.”
You sniffled. “But you said that you wanted to be settled down. That we might have an expiration date.”
He sighed. “I’m sorry for that. I never should have said those things. When we had that conversation I was tired and not thinking clearly. And I spent that whole night wide awake thinking about how stupid I was and how stupid I would be to let you go because you need some time to find your footing after college. I hate that those words affected you so much. I’m so sorry.”
You talked to him for a while longer, pouring out all of your insecurities that you’d been holding back. After a while, the conversation started to shift to more normal things.
“Baby,” Bucky yawned. “I love you so much but I gotta go to bed. And tomorrow after work I’ll come see you, okay?”
“Okay. I love you too.”
Your worries wouldn’t fade overnight. You wouldn’t suddenly be able to get a job. Your friends wouldn’t all come back to you. College was over and life was drastically different. But at least now Bucky knew. And he wasn’t going to leave.

hello friends, would it be bad if i apply to places on LinkedIn but i don’t have a big following, photo, or posts. would the company’s reject me? yes, i believe these hiring managers do look for the criteria but seeing your profile, where you went to school, etc seems like an invite to get judged. im just looking to apply to office jobs, education jobs, liberal arts basically)
No, not bad!
While we would recommend bulking up your LinkedIn profile (it's ridic, but it works), a minimal profile there should not prevent you from applying to jobs through LinkedIn.

what's your all-time favorite ship? JEGULUS <3 jegulus. my forever girls <3
what's a wip that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? when i say i have...a master timeline full of every event that happened to bellatrix, andromeda, narcissa, sirius, and regulus.... detailing their time at school, what classes they take, key life events...just for me to use to write a massive canon-compliant fic of their lives.... i have put in HOURS and HOURS of work into that wip but i don't think it'll ever be done and/or see the light of day
what are your writing strengths? i really love writing detailed, descriptive interior scenes. it's one of my favorite things to do! i see every interior scene in my fic like a little still-life painting and i want the reader to be able to visualize the same still-life im seeing in my head in their head!!
what are your writing weaknesses? commas </3 grammar in general... like sorry 2 ur honor. but who fucking cares? do you get the vibes? are the vibes there? that's all i care about.
what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? i love it!! i've learned a lot of fun phrases from it !!
what's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? im gonna write moonchaser (jamus, wolfbucks? idfk) !!!!!! when my james/remus thesis drops i swear !!!!!!!!
what's your favorite fic you've ever written? Winterlude!!! Winterlude is my favorite child, she's beautiful, she's gorgeous, she's fun, minimal angst, happy endings, regulus is hot as fuck in it, i want to go to there so bad. winterlude !!!!!
