Todays the day. I need to get a job, even if that jobs not in the gaming industry. So I’m heading to the library to print up a resume and apply at a little local chain of mattress stores.
The guy instantly liked me when I went in to do a secret shop for a competing store and offered to hire me on the spot so I figure if I can chat with him he’ll still like me enough to consider me.

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.
#leverageposting#leverage#sophie devereaux#particularly that one of or both her parents had to move around a lot for work & so she would change herself to fit in at every new school#or new town etc etc. and that whatever original identity she had was dropped due to some kind of really awful event and her bio family think#she’s dead. eg she got into some kind of extreme legal trouble for the first time & she faked her death & everyone she knew as a kid thinks#she’s dead too. like. astrid wasn’t the first person she left to miss/mourn her.#but also that she was a teen runaway at like age ~16 and pretended to be an adult (like. 18/19) cause theres not much you can do by yourself#as a minor like booking flights or renting an apartment. and so began her first proper alias. and she was a pickpocket until she could fund#her life fully through grifting & cons.#or alternatively her parents died when she was a teen & she was old enough to become an emancipated minor (everyone in lev is an orphan)#and she kind of just fell into crime from there bc she had no one#or perhaps she got married at 17 and realised how fucked it all was and stashed money until she could run away & leave it all behind. that’s#bc of a single vague sentence on john rogers’ blog saying she was married at 17 and in context it was quite possibly a joke or random#hypothetical example but i was like what if???? What If???????#i also like the hc that she’s trans which i’ve seen a few times#in some versions in my mind her parents were okay and in some versions they were awful and in some versions it was so complicated.#i think tara has heard one story and parker or hardison have heard another and nate has never heard any story. he’s never asked.#she is here now and that’s all that needs knowing. and sophie devereaux is her real name in any way it matters.#eliot has also never asked and she asked if he was curious once and he just asked if she was curious about What He Did and that was answer#enough for the both of them. just a mutual agreement not to ask and it actually solidified their bond.#i think she struggled for a long time about whether to tell her new family The Real Story but in much the same way we never hear her birth#name bc it’s not Her anymore… she never gives The Real Story. bc it no longer defines who she is. she’s so much more than whatever happened.#lvg

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed
#like we have so many ways of doing things that could help us in the long run but because we're told it requires more work we just cant#its too resource intensive. or maybe its too much to maintain. we have to overlook benefits so money can go into more important things#we teach each other to do things a certain way so it works for everyone but who was it convenient for first? what abt who it might hurt?#i have to wonder if the rules our current system uses is worth listening to or following if it doesnt have our best interests in mind. u an#me and the ppl around us.. would we be better off if i ate my meals knowing the person who grew it wanted to feed others the way they could#feed themselves? and that isnt to say we're going to be happy doing it but i guess satisfied that its helping someone instead of quietly#accepting that itll eventually go in the dumpster behind a grocery store because it stopped looking appetizing or it wasnt on sale anymore#what about building homes so we can shelter each other? what if we were satisfied with what we did because we knew it would be paid back#with kindness? isnt that what we evolved to do?? heal each others bones and tell stories and help each other??#why dont houses come with solar panels or generators unless we find a way to make people pay to use the sun? why is our pooled money used#to fund genocides instead of education and hospitals? whose interests and convenience came first when we started this??#i wont pretend to know the answer because i dont. but we all know we're miserable and im sorry to say that i cant see myself fighting#for a world that wont fight for me too. why do we work if we cant live from it?? why did they stop us from plucking more teeth from our#bosses until they could build more walls around themselves and then go back to underpaying us??#im so tired. i cant even imagine making it to age 70#yapping#vent

Anytime I replay DAI and I get to that first conversation with Vivienne back at Haven, I take a long inhale Everytime she asks what I think about doing with the mages.
Like I know my Inky has not thought about this too much. She just knows her clan, but I think about it constantly and no answer I am offered is good enough to assuage my long rant that I yell at the computer for like 8 straight minutes before I choose the Mages Should Be Free line and get the inevitable Vivienne Greatly Disapproves
I love Vivienne a lot, I do, even with the differing political views, but Jesus Christ girlie pop never ask me that question again because I will go off Every Single Time

Oh yea, and NaNoWriMo has decided to tie being anti-AI-use to also being classist and ableist.... No, yea, it's an official statement, click the link.

I always forget that monarchists exist and then I see someone with the username duchessofmyheartforever or williamisababe posting about how it's mean to giggle at an ultrarich economic leech experiencing just a fraction of struggle and inconvenience (because lets be honest, he probably wont kick the bucket—his doctors are paid to keep his corpse animated long after it ceases to be humane)

ok guys in an extremely tragic twist of faith my hyperfixated brain betrayed me and the article will actually just be about female characters in game in general using EoW as a jumping board, which does fill my soul with dread and weariness instead of joy :((
(perhaps for nothing, maybe it will be great but still I'm SO DISAPPOINTED)

ok so like. bc of the fact that we've been gaining weight (yippee!) our body has been more healthy on average and has been able to start functioning as normal which means stuff our body just wasn't doing before is now finally happening. which is great! we feel so much better! it's just that one unexpected addition to the list of Things Our Body Is Catching Up On is our tits growing in about 10 years late as if our body is suddenly realising a 40% of the grade homework project is due tomorrow

I will say this: something I learned when going to the memorial was that there is a part of my brain that possesses an unfathomable rage and it is purely due to good manners that I don't instantly react with physical violence.
And that's weird! I am not a person who gets very angry a lot, and certainly not to a level of harming someone else. But unfortunately someone who has been doing a lot of harm to my family took my hand in both of theirs and saccharinely told me how glad they were to see me and how much they missed me and I was very kind, very gracious, while this hitherto unknown part of my brain activated and was doing the calculations on how quickly I could slug them before anyone could stop me.
This would have been as out of left field for my family as it would have been for me, I tell you what. I don't like physical violence. I'd say that I'm 99% incapable of it unless I was defending myself. I am the designated spider catcher at work. I stepped on my cat's paw and cried about it. I hate harming things.
I remember sitting down in the reception after with this plate of like. cheeses. and an ice tea. staring blankly at the table while my cousins talked about what they had been doing and thinking, "Woah, hey, what was that about????"

god im not starting shit on the post but "medical and pharmaceutical companies thank you for your long term patronage" really does not work as a thing to shame anti maskers. this is not a system i get to opt out of even by masking. unfortunately, i really dont think masking is pwning the predatorily priced healthcare system in the usa. especially considering how many of the ppl who are still doing it are unfortunately beholden to it anyway for some other fucking reason. fuck, even if i didnt have medications i take everyday anyway, the company i buy n95s from is a fucking medical /surgical supply company? its such a weird. just. no.
#toy txt post#vague#the quality of your memes is all over the map#pwning the healthcare system by refusing to get treated bc its expensive and the mask is only one layer of protection#i know its 'not that deep' its 'just a meme' but i Do Not Like the implications of that particular meme. eugh#if the government stepped up and made all that healthcare for covid complications free and ended for profit healthcare#we should still mask#i just#the idea that you can opt out of 'long term patronage' of medical and pharmaceutical companies as a choice is so fucking flawed#thats kind of the entire problem with the for profit system isnt it. cos you cant fucking opt out of it. you can take measures to avoid#getting sick but it wont always work and we need to have a collective approach to public health. not this weird individualistic shit.#even if you are masking. if youre not getting sick you are getting lucky to some degree. the mask is INCREASING YOUR PROTECTION#but it is not surefire and none of us should be acting this fucking. SMARMY about it. jesus.#idk i think its like this weird. youre not better than other ppl for Not Getting Sick? getting covid is not a divine punishment for the sin#of not masking. just blegh#reblogs off to hopefully avoid Starting Shit#but like even if you dont mask. i wish you would but i hope you get lucky. i hope you get lucky and dont get sick for your sake and all#those around you. genuinely. but i wish youd mask. if we all masked and vaccinated we could end this shit so much sooner. if we get#legislation and infrastructure improvements and funding we could end this sooner. imagine if we got infrastructure improvements that made#flu season disappear as a concept. imagine if we cut down on respiratory illness spread the way we did with fucking cholera after we#improved access to water sanitation#WE COULD HAVE A BETTER WORLD. STOP BEING PETTY ABOUT SHIT
