#Customer rant

[microsofttothemax]

when your son somehow manages to discover the best gossip so you keep him around the pizzeria simply to find out the most recent rumors of the customers

a continuation of this au which is now my roman empire

As someone who works in customer service, it’s fucking abhorrent we’re not allowed to just tell customers refunds or services just aren’t possible sometimes.

like. Like. Sorry, you’re not gonna get what you want 100% of the time!! The more people get used to being denied when it’s okay, the more they’ll stop acting like they’re entitled all the time.

So fucking sick of the "infinite growth/everything needs to be the next biggest hit or we're axing it" mantra of capitalism.

It's not enough for a company to be successful and sustainable, it needs to have record profits every single quarter or the shareholders and investors start panicking. It's not enough for a new tv series to have good ratings and loyal fanbase, it needs to be as big as Stranger Things or Game of Thrones or it's getting canceled. Products that are a tiny bit more expensive to make but are loved by loyal customers have their ingredients switched with shitty, inferior, yet cheaper versions that save a little money at the expense of some of the customers leaving.

This entire ideology is so self-destructive but who cares, it made a handful of people a tiny bit richer in the short term, right?

How i feel about Umas new design but its copy pasted from the discord

yes to the braids and hat, hell no to the rest of the outfit

she looks like a doll, not uma

its just, super overdesigned, like u(Ash on discord) said, they're trying to go back to D2 without understanding what made the D2 outfits so good, the pirates had lots of design to them but they were never overdesigned, theres just so much going on in this new outfit that it feels like a big blur of brown and teal, nothings drawing my eye nothings catching my attention, its a boring doll design at most and and an overdesigned costume at the least

they also dont understand how the first 3 movie outfits were made, they were made woth intricate details that made the outfits feel, well, like the characters. These designers dont get that, they take a color pallet ans then slap the main motif on the character and call it a day, they dont think 'why does this character dress this way' or 'why is this their color pallet' so everything feels so flat and fake

plus they domt get why umas color is teal, shes not based off her moms main colors of purple and black, so they gave her thr color of her moms eye shadow, so Uma is teal and or turquoise, so thats her color pallet, and brown is her complimentary color so shes paired with brown and gold

henlooo just wondering if you have any sketches of morax' parents? or you can describe them and who he'd taken after?

i did have a sketch lying around, so i've cleaned it up and colored it!

in this hc zhongli would've gotten his dad's facial features, but like,, all the colors from his mom save the skin tone. also her smile. his dad is a qilin and i gave him a tail bc 1) qilin have tails 2) ganyu has no tail but she's half-human so that tells me nothing and 3) i can do what i want lmao

remember the mom was a jewelsmith so all the dangling bits and everything gold was made by her. the only reason the dad isn't absolutely decked in baubles like a christmas tree is bc he thinks it gets cumbersome at some point n the mom is like "you're no fun". he does let her use his horns as hangers for necklaces n shit while she works tho. the dad was also the one who saved baby zhongli from being a christmas tree, too.

zhongli does get his androgynous swag from both of them

Pausing the usual programming of D&D shenanigans to bring you another round of “MARNIE DESERVES BETTER.”

I was looking at dancing references when I realized I never posted this piece from earlier this year. There's another doodle I have buried somewhere that I need to fish out too.

Beach Farmer Kan’channa, her wife Haley, and sister-in-law Emily decided to make Marnie a nice dress because DAMMIT MARNIE DESERVES TO FEEL SPECIAL. Lewis can hole up in his mansion and stay there.

Description below the cut!

[DESCRIPTION: Marnie and Marlon waltz at the Flower Dance. Marnie’s wearing a dirndl-inspired dress with a green bodice with white lace shaped like wildflowers, and white skirt with bees along the border.

<THE DAY BEFORE THE DANCE>

Marnie: Thank you for the dress, girls. It's BEAUTIFUL. But... what if Lewis doesn't ask me to dance?

Kan'channa, Haley, Emily (seated in the farm living room, drinking tea): THEN HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT.

Haley and Emily: And then you break his arm! (Haley says this with a death glare, and Emily is a ray of sunshine. Unsure which is more terrifying.)

END DESCRIPTION]

you say the only thing tethering me to this sport is a ship and i vehemently agree with you while trying to shove the python pipeline i built for fun to compare past race telemetry under the table

Considering Fjord’s just barely “I guess my last name is Stone. That’s the shit name they gave me at my shit orphanage” attitude. I propose that when they marry we break with tradition and just let him be Admiral/Captain-Mr Fjord Lavorre.

[otrtbs]

any chances ppl would be allowed to bind ahb for personal use ??

hiya!!

at the moment, and for the foreseeable future i am saying no. just because there are copies of ahb! circulating around SEVERAL websites and vendors being sold for oodles and oodles of dollars. despite my requests for the sellers to stop.

i have had people (etsy vendors) in the past lie to me and say they've made "too many personal handbound copies and are only selling those extra ones" which ,,, was obviously a lie. also they were getting the copies through lulu and selling them just btw.

i have also had people tell me that they are binding them and selling them to others for personal use but not making profit off of them even though they're selling art heist for over $100 a book. so. yeah. another lie

so, sorry! but yeah!! there's not much i can do about people actually listening to me and respecting my wishes etc etc and lord knows they don't, but i would super appreciate it if we kept ahb! an ao3 exclusive for now!

it just makes me feel slightly better to put more rules and boundaries in place! though it's never stopped people in this fandom from bulldozing right through those anyway :/

i'm not sure if this is bias from someone whose only seen voy+ds9 or if it's maybe more due to the setting of ds9 (a place people visit instead of people who visit places) but it is soooo delightful seeing all the PEOPLE!!! all of these unspeaking extras all dressed up in weird costume and extraordinary makeup. all of these aliens so different from one another and yet blending perfectly and harmoniously into the background, entirely irrelevant but no doubt leading unique and interesting lives. that probably sounds contradictory to love seeing the people when the show is no longer about Exploring To Meet People but idk something about ds9 feels different. feels alive and intriguing. maybe ds9 simply cant throw in human extras and call it a day like on a starfleet vessel because that just Is Not The Setting but also maybe ds9 does it willingly. happily. look at all of these different people. so many good unique character gimmicks get used in ds9 namely related to business owners/local workers and we are only so blessed with getting to know a few of them. a spy from the planet of state servitude who is drawn to the mundane and hedonistic self gratification owns a tailoring shop because hes banished from home. a bar tender who gets blackmailed into staying and his cop-vs-criminal dynamic best frenemy the Unknown Sample butt heads every day. all of the bajorans and their religious sites!!!!!! the school!!!!!! a worker from Capitalism Planet forms a union and then quits his job to be a freelance engineer and his sex worker wife who he loves very much. a guy from some sorta warrior culture who instead works as a chef serving live worms to his patrons who'll also burst into song during downtime. all of the shady visitors dealing in illicit substances and goods. all of the weird shapes and colours on these visitors from races whose names we may not even know. one of the starfleet crew guys gives birth to litters and he does this multiple times and some longterm professor on the station has a transparent skull and all this & more is conveyed to us strictly thru crewmembers gossiping about all the strange new different People around them because this show is all about People

I haven't updated in a while or been super active in the modding community for a couple of months. My motivation has kind of faded the past couple of weeks and when I would get around to really wanting to work on Secunda, my Kit would not work. It would not open at times and when I tried to trouble shoot it wouldn't even open Secunda's esp. It's gonna take me some time to trouble shoot what is going wrong with everything and get my Creation kit in a working order. I want to work on Secunda more then anything but I also want to be excited to do it! Not just force myself. Thanks for sticking around. Luv ya! <3

Coworker mentioned that I look like I’ve seen man made horrors beyond the scope of rational imagination.

My dearest friend, I work in customer service. The man made horror is man himself.

honest to god favorite fnaf game?

ultimate custom night.

dont come after me yet let me explain,,

not necessarily for gameplay (that one goes to fnaf1 and fnaf6), but the purpose it plays in the lore.

time after time has it confirmed a multitude of theories people have been pumping out for 8 years. whether this be lore relating to cassidy's vengeful spirit, henry's robotics/the mediocre melodie's importance to the plot, henry and william's relationship pre-murders, possession of the toys, mangle's gender, any of the animatronics' genders really, the importance of chica, how william lured his victims/his strategy, and susie being the first of the 5 kids.

out of all of these, the most important is the significance of the player change. not is it just for the lore clues, but rather the plot in general. its been confirmed in-game that you're playing as william afton, post-murders and post-springlocks, as well as post-fnaf3/6. this is slowly touched up on by the death quotes of the animatronics, before leading up to the fact that it takes place in william's special own purgatory, relating back to henry's speech in fnaf6.

ever feel like you're being tortured, playing 50/20 mode 25 hours a day? that's how you're supposed to feel, since that's how william feels. except each death is more real, as he experiences it inside the screen. william is being tortured, being killed over and over again for his actions, being forced to relive the robots he made that started it all. being forced to relive all these different locations, that trigger him, cause him ptsd, or to melt down. these are being flashed over and over again with no particular end.

yes, it is his own purgatory. and this is also what henry meant by how "the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole". this was the pit of hell he was talking about. imagine being overwhelmed by all of your triggers that never end, and the feeling keeps stacking up and up, and right when you think it cant get any worse, it does, and the bar of pain skyrockets. where theres no limit to your torture, and it can just keep layering and layering upon itself. and imagine that you had deserved that level of psychological and physical torture, like how william afton had deserved it. the idea is HEAVY. which is why its one of my favorites.

but how do we know he's suffering to such extent? well, imagine what you experience playing in the game, in real life, turned up to the max. we know its PAINFUL because of the way he screams in the old man consequences secret in-game. he goes as far as to communicate in the teeniest source of gameplay to reach out to someone, ANYONE. he reaches out to the two people that are never going to help him. this shows how desperate he is, and yet still so arrogant. we also know this is his own purgatory because of henry's words to william in his speech, but also because of an easter egg you can get with old man consequences.

the concept of william, instead of being put to rest or being brought back to life to be tortured, having his own purgatory that he is to remain in forever is so cool, and the way fnaf should've ended. knowing he was in neverending pain, and all other souls have been put to rest. its my favorite concept in the eyes of lore, so yes, ucn is my favorite fnaf game.

ok rant over.🫡
