Difficult Employee- Supervisor Relationships

I recently quit my job due to difficultly meshing with my supervisor. I am glad I am on to better things where I feel supported and uplifted.

Managing a difficult supervisor can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can navigate the situation more effectively. Understand Their Perspective: Try to understand your supervisor’s perspective and motivations. Put yourself in their shoes to gain insight into their expectations, pressures, and concerns. This understanding can help you approach interactions with empathy and find…

accidentally found s7 discourse and forgot how often fandoms act like "this plot beat didn't Happen to fruition" is the same as "this character didn't make a Choice"

Okay okay but listen. In “The Inside Job” which is in season 3 (which if you’ve watched you know is an important Eliot season) we see Eliot caring more about getting Parker out than the blight. Which is important character development from the pilot episode where Eliot is “every man for himself” attitude. But Eliot still has priorities which is his team over anyone else. Which one could argue is selfish. But realizing this, seeing that to Eliot their survival is more important than everyone else’s and knowing he might make that call if he needed to, or was in a role that told them to, despite what everyone else thought, makes the season 4 cave conversation even more important. Like Eliot has gone from self survival to team survival and has chosen to stay there!!! Because of the possibility that no one else would make that call. There’s a blight or famine? Government agents incoming? Covers all blown? Eliot would chose to abandon the client and the mark instead of the team to ensure their safety first because to him every other problem could be solved later.

Alright, so I’ve slowly been working on another Buddie fic, and it has several chapters already written and art concepts that I doodle randomly/actually think of to add to the story. But, I’m not sure if I want to post it yet since then I’ll actually have to finish it. At the same time though, I really miss posting fics, so I don’t know.

If it’s something you guys are interested in, I’ll share more details about it!

PK letting some of his animalistic behaviours out whenever one of his children is endangered 👀

Doesn't even use his magic or weapons just goes straight to mauling in his rage

Truly animalistic appearance and noises, being on all fours (...sixes?) and with his mandibles out, snarling and letting out a growl that shakes the very ground they stand on

And then just as quickly he returns back to his upright stance and stoic demeanor, flicking his long tongue out to lick the blood around his eyes off and calmly asks somebody to clean the corpses up

I don't think FaaF PK might be the kind of man who would execute Xero when he was very clearly infected unless he thought he was a lost cause, ik that's what happened in canon but it's an AU so I think I'm allowed to change that. I've already made PV have a secret queer romance and have the fact they're not hollow be outed before the sealing, I think PK not wanting to execute a terminally I'll guy of not sound mind for treason isn't out of the question.

Unless one of his children got caught up in the crossfire, then his instincts would kick in before his rational brain would. And it'd be a much more violent and cooler way for him to go out. And although he's not proud of what he did, PK decides the damage has been done already, might as well show it off as an example of what happens to traitors. Robs a dead man of his dignity even post death because it's the more convenient option.

NOT canon compliant I don't think. Don't take this as my take of what happened in canon and how canon PK would react, I just think it's cool ✨️ I might absolutely turn back on this idea though I just like it atm

so i got these matching necklaces a few weeks ago for this guy who i thought i liked (im pretty sure it was just platonic love) for valentine's day, but now i genuinely have a crush on this other girl (like BAD im down BAAADD) but its kinda e-dating situation rn (she likes me back btw teehee). so i thought i should give the necklaces to her (lets call her beans) rather than to the other guy (lets call him rice) but then i was like no thats kinda rude like i initialy got those for rice like even if beans never finds out ill always know those were initially for rice like it doesnt seem right. so i was like ok i can give them to rice then, as a friendship thing. but he just asked me whats my favorite pastry which leads me to think hes gonna get me something for valentines (i got him something very nice for christmas and so did he to me. also in one of the drawings he gave me it had a quote from hannibal about love. which makes me specualte that he likes me) so if i give him the necklace hes gonna think i like him back. and if it comes to that conclusion im gonna have to tell him i dont like him and hes gonna hate me and were not gonna be friends anymore and i DONT WANT THAT bc hes literally my best friend. also theres the possibility that he doesnt want me and if i give him the necklace hes gonna think i like him. but also what if he does give me something for valentines and i dont give him shit like that'd be so cruel. and theres also the possibility that i dont even see beans for valentines because we havent even made plans or anything BECAUSE I HAVENT ASKED HER TO BE MY VALENTINE yet and its all very confusing so what should i do

and the thing is i DID have a tiny big crush on rice for a little while so i acted like so (thats why i gave him the christmas present) so itd be very mean to do all that just to end up not liking him. but the thing is i already did all that theres no going back i can only change what i do NOW. (btw rice is kinda super younger than me (2 years (so not that much but still)) but he skipped a grade so hes mentally older i guess?? so i dont wanna act like a predator too btw) and also beans' birthday is literally 6 days after valentines what the fuck what am i gonna get her HOW am i even gonna give her anything

The Goat and the Sheep

Upon the crossroads' weary stone I stood, Two forms before me, neither bright nor good. A goat, with eyes that burned like brazen fire, A sheep, whose calm concealed no heart’s desire.

"Come," spake the goat, its horns a gleaming crown, "Life’s summit waits, though cliffs may drag thee down. The path is cruel, the edges sharp as knives, Yet glory’s height redeems a thousand lives."

The sheep, more mute, yet in its silence wise, Gazed soft with depths unseen by daring eyes. "Choose me," it murmured, low as twilight’s breath, "My path is quiet, free of toil and death. No heights await, no laurels to attain, But peace is mine—no triumph, yet no pain."

Between them stood I, bound by dire debate, Each course a prison, choice a bitter fate. The goat’s wild gleam bespoke a savage fight, The sheep’s soft gaze—a shadowed, endless night.

"Must all the world be thus—a cruel jest? No road unthorned, no haven ever blessed?" The goat laughed harsh, "To climb is to endure." The sheep replied, "And yet, the plains are sure."

At last, I stepped, though plagued by doubt profound, Toward trails unseen, unlit by stars around. The goat leapt bold, its mockery in my ear, The sheep kept pace, its whispers soft and clear.

"Too frail for ascent," the goat’s scornful cry, "Too bound by fear to reach the open sky." The sheep intoned, "Regret is but thy guide, When paths are chosen where dreams cannot bide."

And so I trod, though neither beast I tamed, Their courses yoked, their destinations maimed. For in their steps, I saw the same bleak shore— No goat nor sheep could grant my spirit more.

One of the most frustrating things about being queer and living and growing up in a country that's not very accepting of queer people is that at some point you have to make a choice between trying to leave your country and living in one that's more accepting of you, and where you have more rights, and more of a chance of being able to openly be yourself, or stay home, the place that has your favourite food that you've loved since you were young that you can't find elsewhere, and the place where all your memories lay, and the only place you can visit your relatives that have passed and meet your friends who want to stay. I know there's ways to meet people from your home country living in other countries, but it's not really the same. I can talk to them in my native language, and we can participate in our shared culture, but I will still be walking streets foreign to me. And so I must choose whether to stay or to go elsewhere. I have to choose between acceptance and home. And I once thought that acceptance was the clear, easy winner, but now that I'm away from home, I can't even begin to describe how many things I miss about home
