#FIRE THE DIRECTOR

[thoughtsbeewild]

How the director or employee can get away with it? By using Department of Labor Family and Medical leave act

How did the director get away with SWIPING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS UNDER THE RUG WITHOUT GETTING BLAME, FIRED IN HER POSITION. That's because she went to DOCTOR PRESENTED TO HUMAN RESOURCES GENERALIST PRESENTING A PLAUSIBLE STORY. BUT YET YOU SEE HER ON FACEBOOK ATTACKING CHANGING UPDATING HER PROFILE PHOTO WITH HER TWO KIDS SMILING GIGGLING MARKETING "LIVING THAT BEST LIFE WITH TWO KIDS" AND ON COMPANY DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FAMILY LEAVE ACT. COMMENTING ON YOUR BEST FRIEND PSYCHOTIC RAGE ON FACEBOOK MOM NEEDING ATTENTION. POSTING HYPOCRITICAL THINGS TO ASK PEOPLE VOTE COMMENT, WHEN YET THESE BITCHES DON'T EVEN LIVE UP TO THAT STANDARD. AKA HYPOCRITES.

HYPROCITES SOCIAL MEDIA MOM PREACH ALL THESE BULLSHIT, THEY DONT EVEN OWN UP OR PUT THIER WORD TO IT. ITS WHAT YOU DEFINE "FULL OF SHIT PEOPLE"

FULL OF SHIT PEOPLE EXISTS, ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA..WE ALL LIKE TO MARKET THIS PERSONAL BRANDING THAT DRAWS PEOPLE, DEMOGRAPHICS TO WATCH, TO LIKE, TO CRAVE MORE.

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

It was at this moment that she decided to assassinate Ambrosius.

She could have continued to protest Ballister's words, she could have tried to make an excuse or even sent Ambrosius back to his post. But no. She gives up extremely quickly and almost jumps straight to murder.

Is it only me who’s shocked that it’s happening so quickly?

She who does all this in the name of Gloreth has absolutely no problem killing her (as far as we know) only descendant. Which means if he dies, Gloreth's lineage is over.

Ambrosius is a Goldenloin, a noble, a knight, the very example of a knight! He's exactly what she's trying to "protect." And she kills him with her own hands. (If that's not a metaphor, I don't know what is)

But concretely, there are several reasons for this sudden choice:

She has no good excuse at her disposal, either because she had overestimated her influence on Ambrosius, or underestimated his trust in Ballister;

She realized that Ambrosius is too attached to Ballister, which means that not only will he try not to hurt him and will not accept him being killed or treated unfairly, but also that the first chance he gets, he'll take Ballister's side and not hers;

As Ballister's (only) friend, he is one of the only obstacles in making him out to be a heartless assassin;

If someone as important and influential as him were to get in her way, she will have great difficulty doing what she wants and may even risk losing her position and power;

She knows she will never be able to convince him of the "merits" of her quest;

She has a great alibi: Ballister.

This last point is very important. She can get rid of a nuisance as she wishes with complete impunity. No one is there and Ballister has already managed to sneak into the Institute without anyone noticing before then (it's not like anyone is going to accuse her instead of the 'Queen's Killer'). So she also has a golden opportunity to silence any doubt about Ballister's guilt. I mean, others could be like Ambrosius and question her again, and Ballister managed to obtain evidence that she had killed the Queen while he didn't know before that it was her, so someone else provided them to him, so the idea of him being innocent can spread. By accusing him of killing the most popular knight in the Kingdom, she ensures that no one questions his position as a monster and criminal.

It's the Institute, where knights are trained to defend the Kingdom, there's no chance that the Director didn't have access to another weapon than Ballister's. But she chose to use his sword.

But Ballister's sword was destroyed, no one will wonder about the appearance of a second?

No one asks questions about a man who decides to assassinate for no reason the person who allowed him to rise from his social condition, in public, surrounded by knights, right next to an armed man, and visibly without any plan to escape?

The more I think about it, the less sense this supposed assassination makes. It only worked because of media manipulation and because Ballister was the culprit. If the roles had been reversed with Ambrosius - in the event that they had exchanged swords (and the Director didn't notice the exchange and/or couldn't disable the attack) - it certainly wouldn't have gone that far because:

Ambrosius is loved by all and known for being trustworthy/kind/insert knightly quality. Ballister is a commoner, who, even after several years of working hard and being miles better than others, is not seen as trustworthy. People will be much more likely to make excuses for Ambrosius than for Ballister.

The Director has no interest in using the media to blame him. On the contrary, she will try to defend him and claim that he was framed.

Ballister had no excuse for having a deadly laser sword, he has no one to blame for him. Ambrosius yes. There's Ballister. Not only because it is the untrustworthy newcomer dirty commoner that his fellow knights despise, but above all it is HIS sword that was trapped. The Director and the population will accuse him of framing Ambrosius.

People will WANT him to be the culprit instead of their lovely and respected knight. They don't want the literal descendant of their hero to be an awful person who did something this horrible. They don't want the representation of the Institute, of their society to be shaken. (I'm a pro jedi fan. I know that when people want to defend their blorbos, they can go veeeeeery far, including putting responsabilities on other people, even complete innocents or victims)

In fact, this situation will be even more credible than the original one. Why he didn't plan his escape? Bc he didn't need to. Why he did that? Obviously to take revenge on better people in better situation than him, and on society itself, by targetting the Queen, leader of the Kingdom, and a Goldenloin, who's also the Kingdom's most prestigious knight and the descendant of the founder of the Institute.

I firmly believe that all those little glasshearts moments (Lip Look™️, Red biting her lip) were absolutely not scripted and Kylie and Malia specifically did them because they knew we'd go insane.

Why do Companies Lose great talent? Easy-Hire a corrupt Democrat Leader, then create a army minion Leadership team who will DESTROY US PUNY HUMANS

Someone posted this, i copied this image. Its because this executive level leadership Hires/trust a selfie ass on leave of Absence FMLA to oversee a group of employee, managers and supervisor. As investors look for thier money, directors vice president, presidents cannot collect money to provide to investors. What do these democrat leaders do? They TRICKLE IT DOWN, MAKE THE NOISE HOW THE FUCK THE COMPANY GIVE THE MONEY TO INVESTORS. SO THESE EVIL DEMOCRATS HAVE THE POWER TO SEE YOUR PAY RATE WAGE, THEY FIND MOST LOYAL TENURE YEARS OF YEARS AND HAVE THEM EITHER FIRED OR MAKE THIER JOB STRESSFUL TO A POINT TO QUIT. OR THIS DIRECTOR WILL USE BULLSHIT LIES OF WRITE UPS TO GET YOU FIRED. LIKE YOUR WORD AGAINST THIERS, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY THEY HAVE POWER TO SAY ALL THE BULLSHIT ABOUT YOU AND THE HUMAN RESOURCES GENERALIST, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER WILL BACK UP THE DIRECTOR, SUPERVISOR, THE MANAGER AGAINST THE EMPLOYEE.

My previous company posting more social media bullshit. How do you keep your TOP talent. Well basically i see so many post from current employees who been there 1-5 years not that long compared to tenure, who have been promoted. these mother fuckers are shouting this so LOUD, like hey you want a compliment? To be fair, some are deserved promotions and SOME ARENT(BAD APPLES WHO KISS THAT ASS TO BE BESTIES FOR RESTIES WITH HIRING TEAM)

This liberal girl who man shouted out so happy when she quit. then found another job then the company did a ROUND OF LAYOFFS, HINT HINT THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE VOTED FOR, STILL CANT APPREND THE HATRED FOR THY ORANGE MAN.

BUT IN OUR UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, THEY DIDNT STOP THE COUNT , THEY KEPT GOING PAST THE DEADLINE, THEY KEPT DROPPING THOUSANDS OF MAILED BALLOTS AND WHO THE F KNOWS THOSE QUIET SHADY ONES WHO KNOWS HOW GET AWAY WITH IT. LIKE THOSE WOKE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES MADE BY WOKE ACTRESSES/ACTORS. BUT IN TODAY CURRENT STATE, YOU DARE TO ASK YOU WILL GO TO JAIL LIKE ORANGE MAN. THATS HOW I WAS AT WORK.

took me a while, but here are wxs from this WoF au of mine

[see-arcane]

After reading and watching several adaptations, I have come to the conclusion that Quincey gets much more respect than Jonathan. Yes he appears much less, but he gets his heroic sacrifice when he does instead of getting bastardised. Three times I have seen him be the one who kills Dracula without Jonathan. In two of those he has the kukri.

Also idk if vampire Quincey is underappreciated, there is a novel all about him.

And in this one Jonathan is revealed to have been a cowardly cheater all along.

You know. Sometimes I think I might be going too overindulgent with my Harker Horrors and lavishing of attention on my favorite special little haunted gothic heroine lad.

And then I get lovely reminders like these that not only am I not being indulgent, I have to actively burn every daydream of an inhibition I have as a writer to unfuck 126 years' worth of doing the whole cast dirty, but Jonathan Harker the absolute worst.

thinking thoughts about swords symbolizing the corruption of the institute and the control it has over the kingdom. the sword motif is absolutely everywhere - banners and art, kids’ games and cereal commercials, the statue of gloreth at the center of the kingdom. the institute building itself boasts even more - there are tons of statues and suits of armor, all holding swords. swords are everywhere you look!

another example is the way ballister and his swords are used as a tool by the director. he’s knighted with the same fake sword that kills the queen, highlighting how the system can only thrive on manipulation and deceit - the director can only have control over the kingdom if she lies to it, which she does primarily through ballister. he also immediately tries to go to his sword when he finds out nimona is a shapeshifter, as he hasn’t yet unlearned the values taught to him by the institute. the director keeps his real sword the whole time and uses it to try to kill who she thinks is ambrosius, planning to frame ballister for that murder too, which becomes a major turning point in his arc as he decides to abandon the sword as he no longer wants to be part of her game.

but even though he’s made the choice to reject the institute, he still struggles to unlearn its values. he’s been brainwashed from a young age, and had plenty of time to internalize false notions about heroes and villains and monsters. while he cares deeply about nimona at this point, he still instinctively goes to draw his (other) sword when he learns she’s the “monster” from the legend of gloreth.

one of the ways the director retains power is through gloreth - since she’s considered the symbol of righteousness and heroism, the ideal to which all knights should strive, she’s invoked at every moment possible. the scroll bearing the legend is used to justify killing nimona, and “the will of gloreth” is used to justify practically everything. ballister’s sword has a G on it, which is visible right before he gets knighted, and ambrosius’s sword looks just like the one the statue holds aloft. (gloreth didn’t actually have a sword like that, at least not when she knew nimona, but nobody knows this - the real story had been warped and twisted to fit the narrative so much over the course of a thousand years.)

ambrosius, being her descendant and the golden boy, finds it even more challenging to realize the institute is corrupt. he’s also been brainwashed and forced into a role, and there has always been an immense amount of pressure on him to follow in her footsteps. so when he meets ballister in the tavern he places ballister’s sword on the table and suggests killing nimona, as this is what the institution wants. ballister, who knows that nimona isn’t the one to blame, angrily walks out and leaves the sword laying there, trying to leave both it and the institute behind again.

ambrosius becomes understandably reluctant to use his sword for anything violent after cutting off ballister’s arm. he doesn’t draw it when leading a squadron of knights to find nimona and ballister, even when everyone else has their weapons trained. he points it at them and doesn’t use it when he and the other knights have them surrounded. at one point he even places it in front of the director in the effort to protect her. (he seems to be very loyal to her for reasons i’ve touched on here, and is still heavily under the influence of the institute at this point in time.) in fact, the only time he ever actually uses his sword going forward is the fight with ballister, but even then he’s not really fighting exactly, just deflecting ballister’s sword. he doesn’t try to get in a single strike, not wanting to hurt ballister again or give him any more reason to hate him.

nimona, having grown up under very different circumstances, knocks over suits of armor that have swords. she destroys the statues that hold them. when she and gloreth play fight as children, gloreth holds a toy sword while nimona holds a stick.

everything is inverted at the climax - when every other knight is running around with weapons, ambrosius doesn’t draw his sword. he stands in the middle of the street and asks aloud, “what are we doing?” as he’s finally able to see how corrupt and how dangerous the institute is.

and nimona is the one who seeks out gloreth’s sword, and ballister is the one who lets his own sword fall, breaking the cycle and rejecting the institute’s values once and for all in order to save her.

Ill be honest, Ive never actually played League and outside of the Forge games and watching their YouTube videos, I've never given Riot any money. I'm still going to keep posting on this blog because these characters deserve better than this shitty company and their shitty micro transactions and gacha systems, but I am absolutely not giving them anymore money. I can't blame y'all if you do, that's just my personal choice due to the horrible treatment of their workers, especially the ones working on the lore of this universe

UPDATE: all applications for new jobs at Riot have also vanished. That's fucking scary, yall
