thinking about how the character that kromer limbus company was inspired by/is a reference to in demian (franz kromer) is really only important to sinclair because kromer is responsible for bringing sinclair and demian together. iirc canto iii has sinclair knowing demian more organically than in the classic lit. version, but kromer is ultimately responsible for the rest of the cast and the audience meeting demian, so she certainly seems to fulfill that role as well.

You know those AU where Toman becomes and remains a criminal organization yada yada? You know those AU where Takemichi is, technically, a Big Criminal?
His fashion style would remain the same. Ofc, he got suits and friends to tell him what to wear if he truly doesn't know and/or fuck it up but. He doesn't change.
Where is my Dark!Takemichi wearing a UwU shirt ppl. Where.

so i was filling out my fashionably late ao3 wrapped post no problem, but then when i got to the section about what my favorite part of any of my fanfictions was, i had to stop and think, bc i feel like it should probably be that part in pep about the cherry nyquil/stan calling kyle medicine, but it's actually this flashback from og chapter 12 of pep that i deleted -- which good riddens, that chapter was a fucking nightmare from hell...but smack dab in the middle of it, i wrote my favorite flashback of all time and every time i think about it ( because it makes me want to scream and cry ) or the fact that i had to delete it, i want to tear the skin off my face, so i'm linking it in a google doc.
( yes, it's the one where they're on the roof and stan is drunk and talking about what his ideal future life would be like...i'm screaming. )

I find it weird how Jane Seymour stans get so het up by her appearance and the fact she's widely seen as not too attractive. It REALLY bugs them. But I can't take them seriously bc. they want to be noble so say judging by looks is so sexist and harmful which sounds nice but that's as its their fav. BUT at the same time they say Jane's plain looks is a myth she was just normal and thats nothing to be ashamed of. BUT then go straight fruit loop, point to her plain pictures and scream how hot she was. Like if they say it enough times makes it true. Like calling her hot means they won. Won what?
"Hot enough to make Henry's lazy dick work" okay, then I guess so was AB? Who gives a fuck??

Regarding that true crime post I just made if y'all want an incredibly well put together true crime podcast look up Unreformed: The Story of the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children. It's put together by Josie Duffy Rice and I'll warn you there's hideous racism and child abuse of all kinds, the school reminds me of what Canada did to Indigenous children and gets compared by the press in the sixties to a concentration camp, but it's an incredible story with interviews from victims of the school and the OG whistleblower who eventually became important in some reforms at the school even if he had hell to pay for it and was still, in a lot of ways, complicit in participating in the abuses at the school by transporting children to it but his complicated nature makes him quite compelling. And the adult victims- it's horrifying that this kind of thing went on such a short time ago that first hand victims are still more than alive and well to talk about it.

you know what’s a scam? at the end of last year i just severely stopped giving a fuck at work and i was literally spending so much time doing fuck all, messing around on my phone for most of the day only to then edit like 30k in the space of 2-3 hours after lunch, and somehow i got away with it and my quality scores were fine. this year i was like okay this is not cool, i’m gonna make a determined effort to do this properly. so now i actually focus and don’t procrastinate, and yet i’m now consistently underperforming and i’m about to be put on performance review for the second quarter in a row which is... not great
i personally think our scoring system is stupid and needs an overhaul because in spot checks, they take off the same number of points for everything. so if i were to completely fail to edit a sentence and left it in a completely unreadable state, i would only lose one point, but then i also lose a point if i misplace a hyphen. so like. last year i somehow managed to fully miss this massive sentence that ended up making no sense whatsoever, and that was fine, apparently, because i didn’t lose points in other areas, but now i’m about to be put on performance review because i missed a few commas and accidentally used a mixture of single and double speech marks in a quote
the worst part is the way they do checks is so annoying because they just pull two random papers from the past 3 months and you can GUARANTEE they will pull a shit one. you can be on top form for ages and then have one bad day and somehow they always manage to pick the one paper you made mistakes on. i’m aware that they do this on purpose to put the fear of god into you because the idea is obviously that every paper should have no mistakes but let’s be real, that’s not realistic. human error is a thing. everyone makes mistakes. and somehow they have a sixth sense for finding the papers you made those mistakes on.
the problem is that last time i went on performance review, they monitored me for a bit and then did an extra spot check and the papers they pulled that time were basically perfect. one literally had no errors and the other had like. two. so i got a near-perfect score. which probably made me look great, like i’d worked really hard to fix the issue, which to be fair, i did. and they were really happy with that. except this quarter they pulled two more and i got the exact same bad score i got last time. so now it looks like i only started putting in effort when i was being monitored and then just immediately stopped trying again as soon as i wasn’t under review which ISN’T EVEN TRUE. i’m genuinely trying, here. but i’m very aware of how bad this looks and now i’m gonna have to do another one of those awful meetings where they bring up the fact that i’m Underperforming (*already shaking and crying at the mere prospect. once again i am about to get a bad grade in having a job*) and they literally have a senior manager who just. sits in the meeting in silence. watching. and nodding. while some other guy points out all the mistakes i’ve made. because that isn’t unnerving at all
i hate employment, i want to go live in a little hobbit hole and never have to receive another performance review again
