Also at the bougie ass campground I’m at they’re playing matchbox 20 on a loop at the bathroom and httyd is permitted. Quite frankly based.

Photos of a home for sale on Zillow. This is probably one of the best methods to sell an ugly house.

I thought Tumblr would get a kick out of this

if you're writing and find yourself thinking 'this is too weird/gross/offputting/esoteric/ambitious/catered to my specific interests + sure to push away a broader audience' that is the devil speaking and it is a lie. you are already firmly on the right path and you need to double down

computer open. Computer show me fictional guy

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

I cannot believe how close we are to having the entirety of the engineering fic in one weekend. What did we do to deserve your generosity? Your kindness? I hope you’re this excited about every fic you ever write bc I don’t know if I can go back to my non spoiled life now

I started writing on August 3rd, I have something wrong with me :)

Hiccup and Astrid should have taken Snotlout’s warning about god fucking with people by fucking with statistics more seriously!

Literally they just watched someone crash out about God fucking with statistics and they immediately just go and discover that they like it messy? And then they just keep doing that? Guys, it was right there in front of you. Snotlout is Cassandra and he's so tired, he'd just like to cleanup in the office betting pool. Even if it was bad (it was, explains everything ok?)

I fell asleep not long after readying chapter 21 of some assembly required and I dreamt of the next/last chapter the entire time. I’m so excited yet so sad for it to be over

This has been a super fun little sprint that has honestly been such a silly little way to kind of romanticize my every day? Like I highly encourage anyone to write an AU in their little niche corner of the world, every day I am in meetings where people say "it's at the dock, we have to sign!" and I have to be like "I'm not signing it". Her use-as-is justification rant is mine and I scared someone with it last week, this time it made me smile. I had to write verbiage around overtolerancing and wanted to scream until I was like ok, this is just plot. Highly recommend.

Bitches, this isn't strictly finance related, but I have to go on my first business trip at the end of the month and HELP. I've never done a work trip before, any tips?

DON'T 👏 GET 👏 DRUNK 👏

I know that seems like a weird place to start my advice. But I have literally seen people fired, or lose clients over getting too shitfaced at the hotel bar and making a fool of themselves. So if you're going to drink on your business trip, either with coworkers or clients... go easy on the sauce.

Also: remember that a business trip is not a vacation. So make sure you're in work-mode 100% of the time. Don't say or do anything in the presence of others that you wouldn't do in your workplace.

Pack the following:

An extra set of work clothes in case of coffee spills

Bandaids or moleskin patches if your work shoes are high heels or otherwise blister-causing.

Gym clothes and pajamas. Last thing you want is to end your work day and have to lounge around in... a suit.

Your normal shampoo and other products, in travel sizes. I'm allergic to certain shampoos that hotels stock, and let me tell you it is NOT FUN to show up to a big work meeting covered in hives.

SNACKS ON SNACKS. It's hard to seem professional with your tummy growling.

Make sure you have everything work-related you need on your phone if you're traveling without your work computer. And if you're flying, pack all essentials INCLUDING A PROFESSIONAL OUTFIT in your carryon bag.

Whew, that was more than I thought I had to say. Maybe we'll cover this on the podcast this season. But for now, here's some more advice:

Might need to write the sequel to this because Snotlout said something so horrifically stupid in my head that I can’t be alone with it forever. :/

Some Assembly Required: Packaged Set

Packaged Set

The as promised Eretlout phone sex but like...they're in love. This is cute, to me. I think they should be happy together. I want them to wear sweaters in a (non-marriott) cabin. Kiss tenderly, kings.

it’s so funny when people online act like women reading trashy romance novels is like. a new phenomenon and a sign of the downfall of society bc this has never been a thing before. this has been an extremely popular genre of book for ages. the only difference now is that they’re written by women who wanted to fuck kylo ren. which i guess is annoying. out of every man in star wars like be so serious. they had harrison ford in those movies
