imagine being a rando civilian ds9 resident trapped behind forcefields as the station slowly ratchets up to blow itself to pieces in civil defense and then you look up and see the local tailor powerwalking irritably towards ops while the lockdown parts for him like the red sea before moses. and he's presumably caught in a permanent eye roll over every ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS as he goes

Okay, so as you guys know, I run a book store, and one of the perks is doing your own displays (I've had this up for a while now...).
Today, I was cleaning up graphic novels, and this dudebro, smugly, points to Rogue and Gambit and says: Oh, he better watch out.
Me: Oh?
Dudebro: Yeah, she's about to kill him.
Me: No, I think they're okay.
Dudebro: *explaining it to me as if I was dumb* No, her powers drain people dry. She's gonna zap him and he'll be dead.
Me: *smiling* She can control her powers now. It's not a problem.
Dudebro: *laughs smugly* I doubt that. He's still gonna end up dead.
Me: Well, they've been happily married for six years now. I think he's gonna be just fine.
*smiles in customer service and walks away*

look we all know that aziraphale is mr. fiddlesticks-not-fuck and dearie-me-good-gracious, but my favorite thing about him is that there is also, at all times, a fuck-shit little bastard inside of him just begging to be let loose. he's petty, he's passive aggressive, and the Second he decides that playing by heaven's rules isn't going to help anybody, it's all "i know who you are, you idiot!" and "you STUPID man" and "FUCK"

One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about much is how abysmally rude Garak is to his customers. He has the worst customer service ethic I have ever seen in my life. He gets confrontational and argumentative with them. He flings Morn's pants at him. He gets super sarcastic with Quark about his lapels. It really makes me wonder about Cardassian customer service in general. Is Garak typical for a Cardassian in the customer service field? Is he being rude and argumentative because that's how Cardassians flirt and he's trying to put his customers at ease? Or is this a symptom of the fact that he hates the circumstances of his life and kind of wants to punish everyone for his reduced station? Did his years as the second most powerful person in the Cardassian Union make him feel like he deserves better than to be talked down to by a Ferengi bartender? I feel like there's a case to be made for all of these scenarios.

When Somebody Loved Me 🌸
Back when it was Jttw days & they were ⤴️ traveling with the group
Modern day & maybe reincarnated Crepe ⤵️
So naturally...
EDIT: it's fixed now 😊
The more things change to more, they stay the same (at least that's something I hear often enough 🤷♀️)
Ramblings below
This is my own interpretation of modern day!Sun Wukong and what he became after the events Jttw. He's still the same powerful Sun Wukong we all know, & love (despite questionable morals), but He has full dad bod underneath his depressed, "but totally over it" single man pajama sweats. The blue bead on the end of his braid was made from Crepe's blue glass bead earring.
He lives almost entirely on Flower Fruit Mountain, only occasionally coming down & and amazingly, he ended up finding an extremely familiar face 🤔✨️

better alternatives to purchasing from devilinspired
after seeing the 40,000th video of lolitas ordering from sites like devilinspired and my-lolita-dress and seething/coping/fuming/etc, i’ve decided to make a post giving resources for better alternatives if you want to purchase from brands on taobao and receive better pricing and customer service while doing so!
“but why are devilinspired/my-lolita-dress bad?”
they’re not necessarily evil sites that need to be boycotted per se, but they don’t exactly have a high standard for quality control (including selling design and print replicas), price gouge pretty badly, and have had less than stellar customer service, so i thought it would be better to give people resources for smarter purchasing!
here's a 2018 breakdown comparing the prices between the shopping service 42agent and buying through taobao directly
here's a tutorial on how to navigate and purchase from taobao directly without the use of a shopping service/agent
and here is a link to 42agent’s lolita vendor site, 42lolita, which has consistently better brand quality control, lower pricing, and better customer service than DI or MLD
i’ve also crossposted this info to twitter via a thread :)

Is it ok if we print some of your artworks? Not to sell them or profit by them in any way, just for decorative reasons.
Also, I know you don't have a shop where we can buy any prints/stickers/anything (if you did I wouldn't even consider printing them by myself) but have you ever thought of actually making one? Maybe, if not your own shop, sign up(?) on inprnt or something?
Sure! If you just want to print out my art so you can stick it on your wall or something, go ahead. (As long as it's just personal non-commercial use and you're not claiming ownership over the artwork or the characters).
I used to have a Society6 shop but I closed it last year, mostly due to changes in their terms of service. They were cutting into artists' already meager profits, and the last time I heard of it, they were planning to add a subscription fee on top of that. It just started to feel a little bit exploitative. (I also had read some reports that the quality of some of their products had gone downhill over the years but I can't attest to that).
I already have an Inprnt account waiting in the wings, but I haven't gotten around to adding any prints to it yet. (Are there any specific pieces you'd potentially be interested in? I know people ask about the 'You cannot eat money' one pretty frequently.)
