Was watching some Reddit mystery videos on YouTube (as you do at 12 AM) when one of them stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t due to anything overly graphic, or something shocking.
It was due to a certain image in the thumbnail. That shrieking low-poly face on the bottom-right...
What the fuck. I know what this image is. It’s a customized character from a lost Adult Swim online toy called Very Man. But, more importantly, I created this image.
It’s for a mutant enemy in a YouTube Poop shitpost RPG.
This is the original file from the battler sprite folder, though slightly smaller - I resized several sprites in an update.
WHY IS IT IN A REDDIT MYSTERY VIDEO?

Literally all the fics of Bilbo absolutely killing it as a Consort is so accurate. Hobbit culture trained him so well in the art of diplomacy. LIKE he would excel in social relations between everyone. He's friendly and respectable, but also not afraid to speak his mind. He'd be one of the best consorts Erebor has ever seen

Btw, if you really just Need A Job (tm)
I'd really recommend looking into care work
Care work here is specifically being a home care aid, a care aid or assistant at any kind of residential home.
This for usually for elderly or disabled adults - and those are the ones that tend to be most entry level, from what I've seen, but also for mental health, addiction recovery etc. (With the obvious caveat that some of these jobs will be more emotionally intense than others)
I'm so serious about this guys. I was applying to jobs in care work for just three weeks, starting a couple days before Christmas, and in that time I got three interviews, two jobs offers, and five additional interview requests
Care work needs people CONSTANTLY
because it's a huge sector but very hard for them to keep staff long-term. Partly because it can be high burn-out, and there's definitely toxic places out there you should watch out for. And partly because a lot of people think care work is beneath them
AND they ACTUALLY MEAN IT when they say they're entry level. Because it's so hard for them to get staff that a lot of them will advertise super aggressively that they will train you themselves. A lot of them will straight up pay for your CPR and First Aid certifications, once they hire you, too (and you can get a leg up on applications by getting a CPR/First Aid certification for like. $30 to $80, at least in the US). They also accept experience taking care of elderly/disabled/etc. family members as real experience
Like, obviously don't do it if you hate taking care of people, but if you're open to it, it's probably by far your best shot of getting hired rn, statistically
(eta: Genuinely disclaimer that it can be super taxing emotionally and large portions of the industry are indeed fucked, and def don't take a job in this field if you're gonna be an asshole to the people you're caring for, but sometimes you just need whatever job you can get.)
Seriously, though, the first time I applied for a care work job (in October 2023, yes short timeline, like I said there's some toxic workplaces etc. out there), I applied to like ten or fifteen jobs over the course of a week or so. Within three weeks, I was working.
(And they did provide all of the training, fwiw)
If you need a job and no one is hiring, seriously consider looking into it

alternatively, Dazai is dead, everyone is out of commission, Fukuchi is about to end the world, Aya does not succeed in pulling the sword out, everything is just as bad and desperate as it seems.
And then local 10-year-old Aya who has so much on her shoulders and is witnessing it all first-hand gets the coolest most conveniently specific "you're a failure, start over" time manipulation ability

“Bookmarks are for readers, I can say whatever I want in them” has the same energy as “I can say whatever I want in public, it’s not illegal.”
Like yeah, you can technically say whatever you want in public. But you’re not free from people judging you or being upset with what you say.
Which is to say. If you’re being a dick in the public bookmarks of someone’s fic, yes people are allowed to be upset. And no, you’re not cool or edgy or “honest.” You’re just an asshole who doesn’t know what a private bookmark is.
