i love how everyone close to "jiang li" at some point or another has their moment of "girl i KNOW you're cooking up some shit and you are not going to tell me anything about what it is but that's okay. do what you gotta do, i gotchu." like everyone goes dang this girl is up to something...no idea what it is but it doesn't matter. this 18yo who spent the last 10 years in a convent knows what she's doing and i am just gonna follow her lead on this. i am yours to command, recently former teen nun. no questions asked. you got this.

BURKE DEVLIN & ROGER COLLINS. — It isn't really amazing if you know what love is about. — Well, yes, I suppose I don't know anything about love. I guess that's why she married you ten years ago and not me. — I'll go one step further. I think you've gone beyond the point of even knowing what it is.

In todays episode of

"temple stories"

Star wars: the sticker wars

Ahsoka running around and placing star stickers on random objects

Obi wan pausing from chatting with windu and fisto: "what are you doing dear?"

Ahsoka pausing for a moment and greeting the trio with a quick nod: "masters hello. Well anakin keeps having his cleptomanic fingers on my stuff, so i told him i'd place star stickers on everything that belongs to me"

Obi wan shaking his head: "you guys could also talk about it."

Master Fisto and windu clancing looks at each other

Ahsoka:"....naah" *hurries back to her task* "So anyway this mug is mine oh and definetly this controller he keeps stealing this the most...*Runs over and places a sticker on obi wans cheek who has gotten back to sipping his tea* *obi just blinking into his tea mug and sighing*

Mace and fisto snorting into their hands barely holding it together.

Ahsoka meawhile pokes her head around the corner yelling: "skyguy i've marked everything mine with a star sticker now, so hands off these."

A few moments later anakin comes around the same corner placing starship stickers on the exact same mug and controller.

Obi: "....Let me guess these are yours?"

Anakin: "yeah from where do you know?" *Casually places a starship sticker on obi wans forehead (who ones again tried to drink his tea) while walking by*

Obi: "Wha..hey Hey!! I'm no...augh *closes his eyes and inhales*" "nevermind obi wan think of your nerves" (to himself) *so he just goes back to actually now drinking his tea*

fisto and mace are now bursting out laughing with anakin walking off

*edit*

Rex is covered and i mean covered in stickers 30% anakin and ahsokas cause they were having a sticker sticking war over him for both claiming him as theirs to death.

The rest is half the armys mostly 501st ones cause everyone keeps claiming sweet pretty rexika as their babygirl property (he is just too sweet shaped to resist)

Cody has one single heart sticker on his helmet cheek that obi wan gently placed on it stating: "i suppose everbody knows it by now but just to be shure *places sticker* my commander *sweet smile*" and walks off while poor cody baby blushed so hard he melted the insides of his helmet💞

He proudly wears that sticker "TO THIS DAYUH!" (His men want to cover him with stickers aswell but no one dares to reach for what the General owns already (also they know, you know?)

Also they are too afraid one tried but cody just gave them one authoritative look through his helmet and that was it "but thank you i appreciate your loyalty respect and admiration" He just said

Obi wan is covered in stickers cause every jedi keeps claiming him as theirs. Either for marriage or adoption.

The most sticked objects in the temple are the best chairs at the cantina and temple Spa.

Most sticked object in the Gar clone barracks and 79s is rex.

If there's one thing I like more than time travel it's crossover reincarnation, so.

Botk link reincarnated as Damian Wayne.

An incredible weapon master of all types, but especially prodigious with a sword - he was beating knights at the age of 4 and with his memories as intact as they get for him I can see that goalpost moving even further (probably with traps and tricks, a 3yo doesn't exactly have great bodily control).

He's an excellent survivalist, agile, strong, durable, cunning and creative. He can move like a feather in the breeze, strike from behind with ease. His first kill, an animal, did not stir him as it did the other children. With his poise, grace, skills, obedience, he ought to be ra'as' finest assassin in the making, a jewel in the crown of the league.

Except he never speaks a word. Half his targets escape unscathed. He skates by true punishment on the merit of his skills and achievements in other missions. Testing has shown it is not a physical deformity that prevents his speech, but not even talia has been able to coaxe a word from him past his second birthday.

It is a defect ra'as is growing more and more frustrated by, as each attempt to fix these two final flaws ends in resounding failure. Less extreme solutions are running dry.

Talia fears those solutions. Her child does too, she knows. For them, there is a possible solution, more extreme than anything ra'as would tolerate.

She sends him out of the league. To his father.

To Gotham.

Trying to find something to go with these tights? I don’t have a lot of bright clothes that match them, so went more in a mixing it with lighter colors sort of direction, maybe sort of sky themed (rainbow with the blue and white clouds)?

nevermind, god hates me and i have been punished

[pyxscythe]

Also I think its time for me to come clean but I know very little about k!pyros lore but wants to find out more but also don't have time or attention spam to watch

No that's so fair I'll be honest if I weren't so fucking autistic about some of the ksmp characters I would not have the attention span or capacity to pay attention to ksmp LOL

I like to think I understand k!pyro like some of the best out of everyone and Jack would probably vouch for that but I cannot for the life of me sit and explain lore

hi!! if you dont mind me asking, how did you manage to end up teaching in japan?? ive been researching but info online is so extense and overwhelming and i never have good answers....

hello!! first of all i wanna say i understand the stress - i applied to j/et first and was going to work on backups like int/erac and private hiring if that didn't work out and i'm always thankful that i didn't have to. honestly now that i'm here it feels funny that i stressed out so much during the application process bc i always find myself thinking "damn they'll let anyone in" (often about myself lmao). it can be really odd and unexplainable who j/et does and doesn't take but japan needs a lot of ALTs to keep the system going so if you've got the enthusiasm for it there's definitely a place for you!!

i would definitely recommend trying for j/et and int/erac first before worrying about the other options!! since j/et has the biggest reputation ofc there's the double-edged sword of it feeling the most prestigious and hard to get into but again they do hire a ton of candidates every year, plus it has the highest guaranteed pay and takes care of so much for you pre-departure. idk where you're at in life/when you'd plan on applying but if you wanna start the job as soon as possible, int/erac has pretty much a rolling application and their main recruiting cycle is for spring departures (while j/et won't start recruiting again til october, for departure in summer 2025). int/erac gives you a little less pay and a little less initial help, but it's still very reputable. int/erac ALTs also have a few more freedoms once you're in japan bc i believe int/erac has your school hire you directly intead of employing you to your city's board of education. so for example my BoO doesn't let ALTs commute by car, but int/erac ALTs and private hires don't have that restriction. knock on wood, if neither of those work out, there are lots of sites like gaijinpot posting private hire opportunities. i don't know about the competitiveness of those and they do often require you to sort out visa application or housing on your own, but opportunity is always out there! seriously though i wouldn't worry about that at first. that's the backup plan ace up your sleeve

in terms of what you can do to raise your chances of getting hired, again, i think the enthusiasm is the key!! people say the j/et interview is a glorified vibe check bc they've been known to reject people who sometimes seem overqualified for the position (maybe for good reason - the amount of responsibility you get and teaching you get to do is suuuuper variable and dependent on your school, and probably about ~1/3 of my work days every year i have no classes and little relevant work to do, if any). i don't have a background or certification in teaching but i did a lot of tutoring in college and minored in japanese so i had a lot to say about my passion for language education. i know j/et really loves the angle of "what will you get out of the position, and what will you give back" - i can tell you're excited about the idea of teaching in japan so i'm sure you already have your answers!! if you have hobbies related to japan it's good to explain how being in japan would help you continue them. or you can always research what you could do with your non-japan related hobbies in japan! i love cooking and i started taking classes at a chain studio that does a mix of japanese and worldwide cooking. again i know the hit-or-miss element of it is scary but really they just want friendly open-minded people who can share their culture, have enthusiasm about education and exchange, don't mind the hours/job restrictions, and are down to pack their bags and live in japan. if you have any other questions please ask!! i know this is random but i've helped a couple of friends with their applications so if you do want some extra eyes on a statement of purpose my inbox is always open!! cheering for you!! 🎉🎉

Daily Highlights #14 (3/7/23)

3 Things That Made Me Happy

A friend checked in on me while I was flaring up and shared their art. 

My bearded dragon didn’t try to eat my fingers this time while I fed them.

My lover bought me a slice of cake just for fun.

3 Productive Activities I Performed

Productivity be damned. I slept most of the day so I didn’t deal with the brunt of the flare. 

3 Self Care Activities I Accomplished

Made my bed extra comfortable after calling out for work.

Kept interactions with others minimal so I could spend my energy on feeling better.

Went through a mental list of reasons why I’m not a burden and committed to said list.

3 Emotions I felt Today

14. Who does fashion shows after a mall trip and who watches and compliments them?

Melony would 100% be the one doing the fashion show, especially if they got something she's really excited to wear. Cass has no issue taking like an hour or so out of her day to watch Melon happily show off her outfits, it's just kind of nice seeing her be so carefree. Also Cass has realized two things, 1) That Melon really looks good in pretty much anything (at least to her), and 2) Melony would rather die than wear jeans/leggings/any kind of pants for some reason.

On rare occasions, Melon can sometimes get Cass to do the fashion show instead. Mind you, Cass would buy new clothes like... once every few years, so it's usually older clothes. Honestly, Melony just likes an excuse to shower Cass with compliments.
