Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

Hi! Bringing in two new angsty concepts for the fanfiction (and fiction) world: Wet Marshmallow and Shredding Fangs.

💧Wet Marshmallow💧

Now, wet marshmallow is a term I've been using for a while. It looks to be the most popular type of angst (and incidentally the type I like the less, rip XD — which doesn’t mean it can't be good quality). It's a softer kind of angst, closer to hurt/comfort than anguish. It tend to follow the tropes of self doubts, low self esteem, depression... feeling like you deserve whatever pain the world throw at you in a 'lean the other cheek' way, and turn it into 'selfless martyrdom'.

It is more a creature that seek pity and compassion, and bow down low in order to attract both — making the audience empathise with their suffering. "Poor little meow meow" is typically a wet marshmallow phrasing in my eyes. 

It is the angst of the stereotypical 'victim'. Sobs, crying, fever, searching hug and comfort... 'wet marshmallow'.

🧊 It is melting water.

⚡️Shredding Fangs⚡️

For shredding fangs angst, I just came up with the term! I was looking for something that could clearly differentiate it from wet marshmallow. It is one of my favorite types of angst, but is a lot less popular because less moral and harder empathise with. It is harsh, cutting, angry and hurting. It will bite, and hate itself all the more for it (possibly in denial). It is the will to fight, the snarling confidence to push forward no matter what. There is the notion of a powerful will being broken into shards. It is a cornered injured beast who would attack anyone and everyone in the hope it would give it the power to scale walls. Shredding Fangs is suffering turned into anger, anger turned into power (thus is the way of the dark side—). For another parallel, that would be 'selfish martyrdom'. The self hate can be as present as wet marshmallow, but it enpowers instead of declawing.

"I am already so deep in the abyss that as long as I achieve my goal, I can sink in deeper — since there is no going back."

Despair turned into a weapon to wield against everyone and itself, basically. Cutting the care out of your own heart using the pain (even though it will always linger through the denial), or lashing out to the person you never wanted to hurt through loss of control. 

It is the angst of the 'bully that won't or can't stop'. Burning, moving, tearing everything appart in an effort to escape the screaming anguish... 'shredding fangs'.

🔥 It is wrecking fire.

---

Offer for a third subtype of angst, the bittersweetness (emphasis on bitter) with pain written so raw, it make the audience want to scream. Grief and despair and hurt so *full* it drown everything else. (I love that too. It's an anguish similar to a headache scratching at my mind but I love it). I don't have any name for it yet, as it tend to be more 'did the author manage to convey graphically to the readers all the psychological violence going on' skillset than a trope. Facts can't bring it forward. Only the way of writing can.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’. And it’s free!

Multifandom: Nominations open for Auctions As Threatened

Posted by: aat_mod Unlike some other, weaker events where participants are handed an assignment just because they signed up, Auctions, As Threatened is different! This event is all auctions, all the time, and instead of using something as useless as money we're betting with wordcount (or wordcount equivalent, for some mediums). To participate in the event you can: Request gifts in 1-20 fandoms! Join us on Discord to bid on the recipient(s) you'd like to create for! Win big!! Or maybe lose everything!!! Posting a gift without winning an auction for your recipient is illegal, though we haven't found any way to stop it from happening again and again. You can find a short FAQ and an event overview at the top of our rules post, but here's a little extra detail: Currently we allow fic, art, comics, podfic, and playmixes. You can nominate other mediums that you wish to create. You're encouraged to request even if you're not going to bid. We'll benefit from more requests than bidders. You can also bidder only without requesting, or post treats without an assignment. There's no anonymous period Requests can include DNWs and Dear Creator letters Auctions will be conducted on Discord via a custom AuctionBot built for this event! You will need to tell the bot your AO3 name, linking it to your Discord handle in the AO3 backend. This event is 18+.
