me a week ago: i love my job!!

me now, after having a mid-year review that amounted to you’re doing an excellent job and you bring such a valuable perspective to our practice but i don’t have the ability to give you a raise right now but don’t worry bc i just hired a new CFO to try to figure out money so we can maybe give you a raise later this year: *breaks into a cold sweat as i crack open indeed dot com*

19.     entry made talking about a simple    /   normal day.

'dear diary' prompts...

[TRANSCRIPTION: so, i'd like to start this off by saying that i sometimes crave a sense of normalcy more than ever in my life... though i know that people might not expect something like that out of me. you know, because i seem so devoted to my work, i guess. but i have to say that after getting a taste of it today, it's probably when i'm at my happiest. me and jack had spent the day together, which is something we actually rarely get to do. he had told me about this crepe place that had opened up a little while ago and he seemed really eager to go there. so i invited jack to do that this morning and i swear, i hadn't seen him smile that big in a while. which did something funny to my heart.

and by that, i mean you know that feeling you get when you can't contain the love you have for someone? yeah that was pretty much what ended up happening to me; a fuzziness had hit me in the chest. but after we went there, and jack ate an impressive amount of crepes (he was really fond of the nutella and strawberry ones), my son suggested that we see this new movie that came out recently. and it was hard to pass up so of course i said yes. we snuck in some candy and drinks because, honestly, who wants to pay for the overpriced candy they have? not us so we did that and just like i expected... the theater was pretty packed since it was for the new hunger games movie. it was good though!

anyhow, after that, jack wanted to spend some time just hanging out by the water when he did something that surprised me. jack hugged me. and it was really nice, because i can't remember the last time my son gave me one like that. he went on to tell me that he missed 'this part of me.' this got me to thinking that, yeah, i have been treating him not so well for a while. so maybe i ought to change that. jack deserves to have a father who doesn't switch up on him every day, from being mean to being nice.

maybe i'll call my therapist back and tell her i want to start seeing her again. she might've said some things that i didn't like the last time, one of those being that i exhibit behaviors that are typical of sociopaths — but i guess i can make an exception for jack, because he's my little bug.

Huh. It only JUST hit me that Tachihara technically could feel where Tanizaki was when our boy went feral during the Cannibalism arc...

You know...metalbender Tachihara probably could vaguely sense Tanizaki the knife wielder. Respect for him keeping up appearances, I mean, but it's funny to remember that because Tanizaki almost killed the Mafia's boss

Being high energy while sick feels insane. Like my brain is telling me I should lay down and rest but is also telling me I should run around in circles and break things.

okay cause cheating is wrong, obviously. but some people are really out here going, no it’s okay that they’re a murderer who killed your family and ruined your life and straight up abused you and also is significantly older than, no that’s okay they had a secret reason they never told you about and a tragic backstory - oh wait they cheated??? how dare they!!!!!

like i’m sorry but cheating is not the worst thing in the world compared to what i listed above and sometimes in media it can actually be understandable why a character cheats but everyone calls them a monster - which yeah cheating sucks - but then turn around and in the same breath go, oh that terrible abusive piece of shit that’s hot and has a villain aesthetic but does shitty things for shitty reasons?? they’re my faveee how dare you hate them for valid reasons??

[the-light-of-stars]

thinking about one of my least favorite fiction tropes which is taking an eccentric, campy, flamboyant villain, reforming them and - as soon as they've stopped being fully evil - immediately taking away their eccentric traits and making them dress and behave like some random dad or office worker.

there's nothing wrong with reforming that type of villain, ofc! but it just always annoys me (and makes me kind of sad) when they loose their flamboyance and eccentricity as a side effect of becoming a better person - not only because it makes the character more bland and takes away from what made them unique and enjoyable in the first place, but also because it equates traits like flamboyance with villainy and evilness, as if it is impossible for a character to become a better person while still wearing glitter and campy over the top outfits or talking like they learned how to speak from a 'best of Shakespeare' collection.

a villain can reform and heal from their harmful personality traits and behaviors while still keeping their harmless ones, they don't need to be turned into a completely unrecognizable person to get better! They can become a good guy and befriend the heroes and still wear neon colored outfits with gold details and oversized fur coats or go on a dramatic monologue like an aged hollywood diva because their favorite restaurant got closed! those traits aren't mutually exclusive...!

Me when I haven't watched an Andrei Mironov flick in a while and then I hear his wavering tenor singing a half-nonsense half-depressing song over a credits sequence:
