any autistic people have any tips or scripts for customer service interactions? I’m still trying to build mine and my job is now 200 percent more stressful because they dragged me out of the windowless dungeon (stockroom) to put me on the sales floor to shill product. Really hard for me to walk up and bother people, I have a mental block and while I don’t think they fire people for underperforming at Shilling, I REALLY want to keep this job because it PAYS. My nature is to not bother people and now it’s my job. And half the people in there don’t speak much English and it makes me feel worse 😭
unfortunately after years of dodging it, this month i finally caught covid (days before one of my biggest cons of the year 😢)
cons are one of my main sources of income; missing out on SMASH! + losing nonrefundable expenses is hitting real hard, so i'm running a sale for the rest of the month! please use the code SMASH for 20% off storewide until august 😭🙏
my store is updated with new and restocked apex prints, valorant prints + charms, and a bunch of stickers !
i hope you find something you like 🥺💕

monodeku au where izuku plays this one dating sim visual novel game and one of the characters is monoma.
and i mean that literally. like monoma got trapped in this game somehow.
when monoma starts talking to izuku, izuku thinks "oh this must be a 4th wall break horror type thing" but when he posted about it or something people thought that monoma was a fan character he made (since he like, isnt in the game game, just trapped in izukus)
i don't get Hopes fans' insistence that Claude was fixed by a white woman/man (Byleth) and that he’s better when he's used as a prop for a separate white woman (smellygard). Like they of course don't put it like that but that's deadass what they're saying when they attribute all of Claude’s positive character traits to Byleth and when they cheer so hard for Claude ruining his dreams in the service of a violent imperialist.
Claude and Byleth are better (and straight up GREAT) as equals who help each other grow closer to others and not "well Claude was completely evil until Byleth made him good" and he's DEFINITELY better as an antagonistic force against smellygard than a dumb yesman. like sorry to the Claude "fans" that want him to just be a dumb violent brown boy who only gets fixed by the good white characters but he's an amazing and good person all by himself 🚶
as a disclaimer, as a white woman i won't put words in the mouths of fans of color who like hopes!claude—and many do! but many also don't, at least in part for the reasons you mention, and anything i have to say on the topic will be echoing them. (@butwhatifidothis, for example, who's talked a lot about this specifically from this angle.)
i can understand the argument that byleth influenced claude to grow emotionally closer to people and his trust in her allowed him to break down the walls he would have kept up otherwise. but i think it's more than a little bit silly to attribute hopes!claude's behavior entirely to the absence of byleth. because we have canon proof of what claude looks like without byleth, and it's called "fire emblem three houses", a game in which claude a) doesn't try to take over anything even when given some good opportunities to do so and b) never even considers siding with edelgard. even "well claude didn't have the year at garreg mach" still falls flat when you consider that claude was already a clever and curious person before garreg mach, traits that are, by all accounts, largely absent in his motivations in three hopes.
hopes!claude only works as a tragedy, and even then i find it hard to believe. (and of course, having the series' first POC lord be the Tragic One in a fanservice game, compared to his two white counterparts who make off like kings by comparison, is pretty gross no matter how you slice it.) of the many traits canon claude has, "stupid enough to believe he can help edelgard conquer a continent and then starscream her" is not one of them. it's literally just edelgard's (equally stupid, but at least in-character) canon alliance with the slithers, believing she can turn around and destroy them after depleting her own resources bringing any potential allies she might have had to ruin, but with a golden deer coat of paint. i think that, as a golden deer fan, i can be forgiven for not finding that very appealing, even as an AU, and i'm certainly not paying sixty bucks for it.
seriously, Warriors + three houses could easily have just been another fanservice-y romp like the original, where the 3h characters get to interact with past canon characters and they're all friends and go on adventures together, yay!! but they didn't. they went the most financially foolish route possible and it's not at all surprising that fans weren't interested.
two more additions to the family <333 i found them both today at 2 seperate yard sales…. genuinely cried tears of joy after finding the 2005. both were THREE DOLLARS EACH!!! 6 dollars for 2 new friends!!!!
anyway, meet raspberry mania (furby boom! she & sometimes he, raz or rasmania for short), and edith (2005, she/her)!!!!
edith does not work… i ordered the screwdriver i need to take her feet off, as well as those weird finger covers for beak replacement. something rattles around inside her but im not sure what it is yet. hopefully i can get her up and running in a few days :)
raz is very spunky and definitely has an attitude… her personality changed when i was putting her batteries in because i was shaking her around too much, and now all she does is scream… she annoyed me enough that i had to take her batteries out lol, but i still love her!! <3
The tradition of the Christmas tree originated in eastern Europe more than 500 years ago. Today, it has become a thriving industry, employing nearly 100,000 people and generating almost $2 billion in revenue annually. Approximately 25-30 million natural Christmas trees are harvested each year, with about 30 percent coming from the Pacific Northwest. Sales of real Christmas trees have increased by nearly 20 percent since 2020, and artificial trees are also popular.
While artificial trees have faced criticism for the chemicals used in their production and their environmental impact, live trees also have their drawbacks.
It's really funny watching tech job search insta reels and it's all guys in puffer vests going "IF I DON'T KNOW YOU I WILL NOT HIRE YOU I GET 500+ APPLICATIONS PER POSITION YOU NEED TO STOP APPLYING FOR JOBS WITH ZERO CONNECTIONS" when you're in a field with high demand and low applicants. Business is booming, but not in anything "dignified" lol.
