Op vrijdag 19 januari organiseert de businessclub van de Sociëteit Vereeniging, SO Business een nieuwjaarsbijeenkomst met als thema "Storytelling: de kracht van verhalen in het aantrekken van de juiste klanten." Sem Stemerding van Storylogie.com en het Teamheldenspel neemt de deelnemers mee met wat storytelling is en waarom ons brein zo goed op verhalen reageert. Met storytelling laat je zien wie je bent en waar je voor staat. Als ondernemer speel je namelijk de hoofdrol in jouw ondernemersverhaal. Met persoonlijke verhalen geef je betekenis aan jouw bedrijf of organisatie. Het resultaat is dat de juiste relaties en klanten zich met jou verbonden voelen. Aan de hand van theorie, voorbeelden en prikkelende vragen zal Sem je op weg helpen met een eerste concrete aanzet tot een verhaal. Programma 16.30 uur Ontvangst en toast op het nieuwe jaar 17.00 uur Welkom door SO Business/Sociëteit Vereeniging 17.05 uur Storytelling door Sem Stemerding 17.45 uur Borrel en netwerken 19.15 uur Einde bijeenkomst Deze (gratis) bijeenkomst vindt plaats bij de Sociëteit Vereeniging, Zijlweg 1 in Haarlem. Alle leden van de Sociëteit, relaties en ondernemers uit Haarlem e.o. zijn welkom om deze bijeenkomst bij te wonen.

LILITH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ON HERE?????? I KNEW I SHOULDNT HAVE LET YOU ACCESS THE INTERNET OH LORD BELOW

[whumpbug]

Oc question: How would all four of your whump ocs go about answering "how are you" or "are you okay" in different phases of okayness?

Or in simpler terms (in case what I just said made no actual sense) How would Archie/Simon/Gene/Cassidy respond if he was asked...

"How are you"/"How are you doing" on a GOOD day?

"How are you"/"How are you doing" on a BAD day?

"How are you"/"How are you doing" on a TERRIBLE day?

And as a bonus (to end off with something positive) how would they each respond to "how are you" on an absolutely showstopping fantastic day?

anon i am SO sorry this took so long to answer but i got so so sobusy and then i got on a drawing kick so i wasn't writing as much BUT this is such a fun question. i LOVEEEE exploring character voices/what they would say to certain questions. i'm gonna answer with dialogue/small actions and add a tiny little explanation!!

i hope you enjoy!! long post incoming!!

✮⋆˙

"how are you doing?" on a GOOD day

simon: "who, me? oh! i'm doing well. and you?"

[simon is just hard to read period. you'll notice a lot of his responses are similar because he is just. naturally very monotone. BUT THERE ARE SUBTLE DIFFERENCES. archie knows. this is him just being calm, which, in comparison to the rest of his life, is a good day]

archie: "i'm doing great! i went to go get some bagels downtown, and they were perfectly toasted, and then i found $10 on the floor! then, my friend, simon, went to the store and got oreos, just for me! then, i--"

[cutting him off because he will just ramble about exactly what made his day good. he's a talker. he can't help it when he's excited.]

gene: "can't complain." [said with an easy expression on his face-- he's not Brooding for once. he seems more relaxed and open]

[gene is a man of few words, equally if not more inexpressive than simon. he is also a little bit awkward. BUT its endearing and he's getting his point across]

cassidy: "doin' peachy! whatta 'bout yourself?" [said with a flashy smile, but its clear that for once, its not for show. its not one of his fake smiles]

[cassidy is cassidy. simple as that. he walks a delicate balance between being a Silly Goober and Deeply Traumatized.]

✮⋆˙

"how are you doing?" on a BAD day

simon: "shitty."

[short, clipped, and to the point. if simon's having a bad day, chances are that its because he has too much on his plate. no time for small talk]

archie: "oh! i've uh.. i've been better. but it's okay! how are you?"

[oh archie. ever the deflector. archie does let himself show that he has "bad days" because the city needs vigil to be Strong. he needs to learn to dodge punches as well as he dodges questions]

gene: "alright."

[he's Not in the mood for small talk. not in the mood to pretend to be fine. he just wants to get whatever he needs to do done so he can go home and brush calliope and sleep.]

cassidy: "well, i'm alright! and you?"

[you didn't think cassidy would admit to having a bad day, did you? especially because the person probably causing his bad day is someone he Will Not bad mouth. ever.]

✮⋆˙

"how are you doing?" on a TERRIBLE day

simon: "i don't want to talk about it, okay?" [said somehow in a tone thats half-rude-half-desperate]

[simon is blunt. he'll say what he means, and if he says this, he really doesn't want to talk about it. to whoever is asking, at least. archie's a different story of course. anyways, best to let him be.]

archie: "me? oh.. i'm.. i'm okay.." [followed immediately by bursting into tears.]

[vigil can only stay strong for so long. even he has limits. he needs a hug and a cup of hot cocoa and a fluffy blanket immediately chop chop simon]

gene: "hm."

[look at that guys. gene has trancended words. his day is SO shitty that he has taken to communication using grunts and nothing else. best to leave the deputy alone, just like simon. maybe be careful around him. it's been rumored he has a short fuse.]

cassidy: "i'm doing fine, alright?" [and then cassidy storms away, of course]

[oh cassidy. he's tired of being fussed over. if people see that he's Not okay, it makes him vulnerable. he can't have that. he'd rather remove himself from the situation that have to keep pretending.]

✮⋆˙

AND BONUS!! "how are you doing?" on a FANTASTIC day

simon: "i'm doing great." [his voice may be monotone, but he has that smile. the one that archie gushes about in this post.]

[again, simon is straight to the point. his face still tells more of a story than his voice and demeanor. when hes happy, he's all gentle smiles. his face practically emits light with how warm it is]

archie: "i'm doing amazing!! what about you? oh! we should go get some ice cream! i know this really good spot! my treat!"

[archie my precious. when hes happy, he LOVES to spread the love and find ways to make his and other people's day even better.]

gene: never been better! [follows by a clap on the shoulder in the way dads do.]

[wow. multiple syllables! its a miracle! i think gene is just affectionate when hes happy. its almost too much to bear. he needs to hug someone. chop chop cassidy!]

cassidy: "fan-fuckin'-tastic!" [said, surprisingly non-sarcastically, with one of those little cowboy whoops, probably while riding scotch]

[he's hyperactive when he's REALLY happy. i'd imagine it would be after he just finished a job taking down some crooked millionare. adrenaline is high and so are the Good Emotions. just makes him wanna whoop!]

“He loves me”’s only

This month didn’t go the way I expected or wanted. At all. I’m so glad it is over. My art did not progress the way I had envisioned but it did reflect how I felt on the inside. As usual I don’t know what tomorrow will be but see you there…probably.

Reading your ask post like it's a morning news whenever you grace us with online presence. You may say I am obsessed but so are other loscar enjoyers in your DMs. So yeah morning news *sips tea**it is midnight where I live jfc*

HELLO. thank you. rip sorry my online presence (at least here) is shrinking it is not really on purpose. i am sobusy. and also. tired. Sleeping. zzzz

[ijustkindalikebooks]

This month, my friends, it has been hectic.

I mean I've been sobusy that reading has been tougher to get into and post War And Peace my brain has been mush, I don't think it's a book slump, it's more an extrication of my brain from Napoleonic Russian wars.

But I have read some incredible books this month, these are those books (dun dun).

Before We Say Goodbye by Toshikazu Kowaguchi - Sometimes I love the Coffee Shop Chronicles and sometimes I do not, but this one was so good. The stories about the woman and her dog, and the daughter and her father were so powerful to read, the dog one I was in tears at work, I was a mess. If you don't want a book about death and dying, avoid this series, but if you don't mind that and want some incredibly moving writing, this one is a good choice.

30 Poets - Various Poets - 30 Poets was an anthology made by MA students at the UEA a couple of years ago during the lockdown and has some incredibly good poets included in the collection and it shines on all 200 pages of this collection. I found this while at work and I needed something to read to pass the time and I'm so glad I did with so many interesting poets and poetry, it made me think, it made me feel seen sometimes and I certainly will keep an eye out for so many of these poets (I recommend Maya Hough).

A couple of four stars I want to mention:

Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah - I'm sure you've heard alot about this book already, this book is not for the faint-hearted. The story of two women as the become 'colossal' in the arena, this book is a dystopian look on the prison industrial complex that could be in a dark dark future. If you can handle some violence, I'd recommend this.

Friends & Traitors by Helen Peters - A middle grade story about a school girl and a young maid foiling a nazi plot, it's funny, it's pacey, and I enjoyed every minute of this book. The characters are well written and the house this took place in is a perfect setting for this book, Highly recommend this one, for anyone of any age.

What have you been reading this month>? Let me know in the replies or you can drop in my inbox!

Vee xo.

[avephelis]

btw to the person who left the kevlar carapace ask I SEE YOU i want to draw something but i am sobusy <- might try and work it into a daily prompt at some point

[temporal-scribe]

The cat is a zodiac!

China: Happy Year of the Rabbit, Vietnam!

Vietnam: Cat.

China: Aiyah...you are still hung up on that story huh...

(Vietnam: The cat deserves better...)

Notes: This is more of a penning down of what I hope to eventually produce as a short comic strip. A lot of my HCs of Vietnam as well as her relationship with China are inspired from this fic .
