#how to start your career
Text
Just curious what the average level of personal investment in these sorts of things is. Like, how much do people usually get into silly stuff like this their friends ask of them? etc. etc. Which I know, only surveying a small sample on a very specific website means I'm not getting an exact average idea lol, but.. curious nonetheless .. Maybe reblog for bigger sample size but also this is not very serious at all/not worth a call to action gbhjbhjb
#which I know this could be context dependent like.. maybe you'd normally dress up but on a week that#you feel sick you wouldn't or etc. etc. - but I mean.. GENERALLY. in the most general average scenario#where you have the average amount of health and free time that you always do. etc. just based on your personality#and level of investment in these things - what on AVERAGE are you most inclined to do#also of course assume they communicate with you ahead of time and are not like planning a part last minute#like 'throw together costume in 5 hours and show up tonight randomly' or etc. I would hope that if we're going with the#AVERAGE of things - most people's friends have better communication skills than springing entire parties#on people last minute lol#assume you have like.. a few days-a week or so to prepare. however ealrly people usually start talking about#birthdays. In my experience it's usually one or two weeks ahead of time. Like 'oh next weekend' or 'oh two weeks from now' etc.#ANYWAY.. feeling a little Sick again of course but still trying to get some photos or something posted#AGAIN i promise I am not going to exlcusively post polls and ntohing else forever hgkjgnekj#I just really really love the ability to post polls and have always my whole life been obsessed with surveying people#I used to think I wanted to do that as a career somehow like.. be one of the people that does psychological interviews#or produce interview asessments for a company or etc. etc. I am always the one friend in the group thats giving out custom made#surveys or asking for other simialr stuff (did you ever take an mbti quiz? how about enneagra#m?? oh yeah I know they're not really scientifically valid or antyhing but like... DID you take them?? huh?? did you??please?? ghjj)#I simply cannot resist.. posting a little poll every once in a while.. as a treat#whilst I still fall behind on like actual content and costumes and stuff gbjhbjh#New poll adventure should be not as much of a wait as the last one was though since I already have the writing#for it really. I just have to do the ms paint sketch. hopefully no unexpected other health issues will get in the way#*** *** ***#< (anytime I do these three star patterns it is an ocd compulsion not me bleeping out words or something just ignore it lol)#(it means something secret in my evil brain just pretend you do not see it. significant only to me)#BUT YEAH.. ... poll... what type of costume party atendee are you?#:0c

After unknowingly becoming the leader of every freaking group I've had to work in (and let me tell you, my major is all about group work) I've concluded that being told what to do must be x100 times easier than doing your own part + being in charge of telling other's what to do (since this entails being fair and analyzing each team mates capabilities)
#in conclusion#I would like it if my only and one responsibility was doing what I was told#fun fact: I was about to start this post with#“not to sound like a sub but please tell me what to do”#but I retracted out of... shame probably (?#but really#please please please#despite me always being appointed as a leader by unanimous votes#I don't think that decision is made based on my skills#it's probably made based on the lack of skill of others#and I'm so tired#I deserve better than to having to constantly babysit my classmate#something something that theory about how your brain energy can be wasted on taking a million of tiny decions to the point where you are#left without energy to take big decisions??#very very true#I love my career but sometimes I don't

No more ‘family asking me about my jobs or my social life or if I have a boyfriend’. Ask me about pokemon. Ask me about snakes. Ask me about local plant life. I promise it’s going to be a much more interesting conversation for everyone involved.
#‘what’s your career plan’ don’t know#‘how are your friends from high school doing’ don’t know#‘are you seeing anyone’ I know the answer to this one at least! no.#but I can tell you about foraging#we’re about to start seeing wood sorrel. by the way#we’ve got onion grass right now.#ramps should start showing up but they’re harder to find#and for the snake crowd. it’s almost DeKay's season.#I haven’t found one yet. but I will#this year is GOING TO be the year I find a hognose#I find dozens of dekays a year and a few rat snakes#found a couple kingsnakes and a worm snake once#and a few copperheads which are. less great to stumble upon lmao#but no hoggie. yet.#so no. I don’t have a job or a boyfriend. but I can find snakes within 30 minutes of being let loose outside#which feels more important honestly#I can also find four leaf clovers at an alarming speed. I found an 8 leaf clover once#and a bunch of 5-7 leaf ones#and again. that feels more important right now and I’d like family members to appreciate that instead. sad.

I feel like Vincent would wear shirts from the brand "Affliction Clothing". Idk if you've ever heard of them but the name alone kinda fits his vibe.
Vincent is a simple man. If sees an edgy pattern of a tortured skeleton, he wants to wear it.
He feels a little handsome in them. And SUPER INTIMIDATING HAHAHA BASK IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR NEW LORD
#vincenttag#Ever since Vincent learned how to make his own freezerpops he's never let go of them#This one is pure lemon juice.#It's tragically bitter.#Vincent doesn't really know how to smile all that well. Looks more like a grimace at this point#Other juicepop faves were: Grapefruit (obvi). Ketchup just because. Chicken broth. Half a container of chocolate syrup. And soda.#Vanillin makes him want to yack and most icies are just... ugh. too sweet. Drowns the palate.#You can never get too much sour though. Unless your mouth starts bleeding then thats just an inconvenience with the trade#Sonia has a huge sweet tooth but cant metabolize all of it too well so she was raised sugar free for her career#she envies vincents superhuman metabolism because he clearly isnt using it for what really matters#whereas his metabolism is waaaay too strong and he has to eat 4-8k in calories depending on how active his flights are to maintain weight

Thinking about the INSANE moral grey area of the thg victors at the minute,, these scared, small children killed 23 (or 47) other equally scared, small children in order to make it out alive. Every year afterwards the wound that is the games gets ripped open and they have to go about closing it up all over again. They can never escape the blood of the other scared little kids on their hands. They are being punished by the Capitol, made to watch other kids do what they did, for something the Capitol made them do in the first place. If they want the kids to die because they don't want them suffering the way a victor does for the rest of their lives, then they're uncaring & complicit in the tributes death. If they get the kids out, they're signing the tribute up for a life of misery. No winning. No moral high ground. Just a train ride that never stops.
#actually shocking that only 16 victors were dead/missing by the 3rd quarter quell. thats an insane amount of trauma to cope with#parcel day is probably the best example of how the games play on victors morals even when its over#because the entire district gets fed. for a whole year. of COURSE you'd want to give that to the people back home#but it means putting this kid up for literally anything Snow wants. You are complicit in their trauma from then on. you let them live#but if you dont mentor them then your district suffers and you're two more kids deep into this grave you keep digging for yourself#and NONE of it is the mentors fault btw im not saying that because there's no way to mantain a moral highground in this situation#but. jesus christ. its an impossible game because no matter what parents loose their children and someone looses their freedom#sickening. suzanne collins you have a brillant mind#thg#the hunger games#cw: death mention#<- multiple times#this isn't even starting on beetee/wiress and their inventions or the careers that live but if i talk abt them I'll never stop. alas

No matter how much Helmut annoys me at times, but this man really was there for the beginning of Daniel's career. No wonder Daniel knows what he has to do to impress him. Their relationship is wildly complicated.
en.espn.co.uk/hrtf1/motorsport/story/53044.html
Imagine you're Helmut Marko. You've seen hundreds of young drivers come and go. You've made the careers of some, and broken the careers of many more others. It's 2007 and you see this lanky guy with big poofy hair come 6th in some regional junior championship and you think he's maybe quick enough to be part of your junior team. And then he shows up to meet you and the team boss for the first time with his shoes squelching water all over the floor because he fell into some fountain outside because he was too busy gawking at the Red Bull headquarters. Surely, you wouldn't have much hope of him surviving the shark tank that is the red bull junior academy, but yet he surprises you by jumping through every hoop you throw at him, by his sheer dogged determination to show you he can be your next golden boy. So, of course, he's going to have your grudging respect and you wouldn't mind playing godfather for a bit and use your influence to get him a seat at some struggling team - it's like here's another challenge for you, show me what you can do.
#thinking how in those early years when Daniel first got the toro rosso seat and he did his first few interviews with the australian media#and they're all like so Dan you're a formula one driver now#and Daniel smiling all shyly because he didn't want to show his braces too much would just say#im really grateful to the red bull family for their faith in me. they've always pushed me and encouraged me#and at that point in time he hadn't yet known Christian; so every red bull family mention WAS Helmut Marko#he was in Daniel's mind the man who gave him his formula one career#so what if some ten plus years later you're 34 and you're back to where you started#and this man who in your mind made your career possible makes some criticism on your current performance#ofc you're going to take it on your chin and say that's ok that's how it is with Helmut#and you're kind of vindicated when a few weeks later you have one of those amazing performances#and here's helmut walking with you into the paddock and smiling and praising you once again#like you've known this old man for nearly half your life#and he's known you for as long#obviously at this point it's something a little more than a professional relationship#anon.txt

another narrative that will always break me: the concept of The Last Game. the last game you’ll play with this specific team. maybe not knowing it’s your last game but deep down thinking it could be. the last of everything you’ve known. built up and up and up and for it to fall flat. sigh.
#this was inspired by BU and michigan losing last night#i can’t take the crying pictures i CANT#and this will be year after year#but how both those teams lost in the exact same fuckifn standing last year too#a second time around huh ….. huh#macklin celebrini i’m so looking forward to your nhl career#but your BU career ….. what a run. honored to have witnessed it from the start#sigh#k rambles about things#college hockey lb

successful internet personality constantly feeling the gaze of the "THE RISE AND FALL OF ___" video essayists just waiting for them to slip up and crash for content for their next 4 hour video
#like... dgmw it's interesting to hear about some of the shady stuff some people did and how it affected their brand#And them being exposed so people can make informed choices about whether or not to support them is good too#but... damn it must be bleak to build your entire career on other people's failures gkfjfjd#+ it kinda creates a glass house scenario where people just assume there's nothing wrong with You#because you're the guy who calls out others so obviously you wouldn't share any of their flaws#which... sets a weird precedent i would say#like idk someone who's an abuser could start making videos calling Other people abusers and then nobody would suspect Them yk#& like... i am Not talking about sthg like hbomberguy exposing james somerton et al#his videos are about many different topics like games tv shows laughing at right-wingers & flat earthers etc#i mean people whose entire youtube library is filled with stories about successful content creators doing Bad thing and losing their career

correct me if I'm wrong but I was just thinking about the roykeeley in season two of it all, and that fight where Keeley loses it at Roy for being clingy because she can't handle how close they are now that they work in the same building but like,,, Keeley and Roy would have been working in the same building while dating for a good chunk of season one as well.
She started working at Nelson Road before Jamie was even sent back to Manchester. They would of had months working in the same building, so either Roy has always been that clingy and Keeley just didn't mind at first, which I found doubtful given that it only takes her like a week to blow up at him for it in season two, or Roy being clingy is an out of character thing for him to be doing that should've raised some kind of red flag to friends and loved ones that I feel like from what we know about Keeley as a character would've been treated with more empathy than she actually had in the show.
#i'm going off of memory so this might not be anything#but wasn't one of her complaints that he sat quietly in her office reading when they were on break?#girl how is that being clingy and not just regular levels of wanting to spend time with your partner?#I stand by that Roy wasn't in the wrong for that#I actually stand by Roy not being in the wrong for MOST of his relationship with Keeley#I don't even think he was wrong for breaking up with her#I will not ever view breaking off a relationship you aren't happy in as selfish#and I don't care how much the show tries to make me view him as selfish for it or like he threw something good away#no he didn't#just because Keeley was hurt by being broken up with (understandable reaction) does not mean Roy did the wrong thing by breaking up with he#he looked at the way their relationship was going and saw that he wouldn't be happy if he stayed so he left#and the show tried to frame that as a bad thing#“maybe i should've just stuck around and enjoyed it”#no sir that's not how these things work#staying in a failing relationship just because you don't want to be alone isn't healthy you did the right thing#your career and your love life aren't metaphors for each other#and let me be clear Roy and Keeley were 100% a failing relationship right from the start of season 2 with the fight that inspired this post#keeley's feelings about the breakup aren't more valid then Roy's just because she's the hurt party#and they clearly broke up amicably if Keeley is willing to sit down and tell Phoebe about it with him#she wasn't jilted or wronged in any way and the show framing it like that grinds my fucking gears

officially at the Big Anxiety stage of career success. wondering when this stops being as bad 😔
#incessant meowing#personal#i understand that at a certain point it becomes inevitable to start running into people who will try to hurt your feelings#just by sheer numbers of how visibility works in an art career#but i feel so severely unequipped to process these things#i’m in therapy again getting help with this but it’s tough right now#and don’t worry 99% of people are so wonderful and lovely and i appreciate you all#and the hateful comments are still incredibly rare#i just feel really silly and over sensitive for still being affected by death wish/insult comments#somehow i feel like other people shrug those off really easily but i’m struggling#and i need to get better at dealing with this because i’m trans and i’m only getting MORE visibility#it’s such a double edged sword because on one hand this is supposed to be every artist’s dream come true#and it is! i’m so grateful for my work#but i am also extremely scared all the time#and it’s starting to take a significant toll on my health

special place in hell for the "x are the best years of your life" crowd
#it's almost as if not everyone lives the exact same lives... 9 out of 10 people could be living it up in college but the 10th person has#more fun in their 30s than they ever did in college. someone can be at their career peak as early as 30 and others could start over at 30#i honestly can't tell you how fucking depressed this mentality made me in high school and all of college it's only recently that I've starte#started trying to unlearn this. someone went so far as to insinuate even if you're at your most miserable from 13-21 it'll still be the best#time you'll ever have and it's all downhill after that etc etc and honestly FUCK you for telling vulnerable and scared kids that#my dad has a bigger and much much more fulfilling social circle and social life at 52 than maybe ever. the guy literally lives like hes 25#our family doctor was still bettering his knowledge of medicine at the age of 88#life is not all about 13-25 it just can't fucking be and fuck you if you've made even a single person believe that#anumania

Yk how I say to ground myself in the reality of Byler endgame I think about stuff like the love confession becomes a sound on acting TikTok like Laurie's confession to Amy did?
Do you know what went viral for Milkvan? No, guess.
Maybe the thing your ship is known for shouldn't be "I don't love you" just a thought not great marketing for that to be the memorable one 💀
It's used for cosplayers and actors etc. in application to scenes where people ACTUALLY don't love each other like girl...if someone doesn't know about them in this show THIS will be their introduction. And if you think that doesn't happen, that's how I found Bridgerton and Little Women(2019).
There is at least SOMEBODY out there who this was the first thing they saw of Stranger Things. Volume 1 ended and what ppl took away from it wasn't "he can say ily and is waiting to" it was that he doesn't, they just went along passively with it when he did. But they were actively invested in him not so it's still more famous 💀.
But like- I'll stop but- the speed at which this was just accepted as fact and people got on their tiktoks to apply to other things like-. There's more nuance and depth to this one to play as an actor bc there's more nuance and depth internally resonating to him than the ily speech.
#like it has been over a year and his ily speech did not compensate for the amount of attention on that one#it's bc of his parents! bestie if you still have to argue that that means it was not obvious enough in the show#what was that one TikTok sound? where the boy doesnt love his gf? what is that from again?#oh yeah thats what you want people to say about your ship#we got memes about how sad will is#thats still better bc it means you want him to be HAPPY#this was SO quickly accepted as fact#byler#stranger things#anti milkvan#general audience#'the main ship the ga loves' bestie the ga gave up on them like THAT and started using their broken relationship for their acting careers#(valid)#general audience elmike

Watching the Brawn docu has me wanting to reach through the screen to choke out Christian and Montezemolo
#like i feel like obv theyre probably being dramatic for the sake of the docu#but at the same point it rly feels like they still hold a grudge#and im not one of those people who decrys the rb19 as being illegal or whatever#but my god for someone's car who gets accused of being illegal a lot christian youre sure talking a load of shit#like ik hes talking abt his standpoint from back then but atp in his career after all hes been thru#should he not be admiring them?????#as i said in my other tags:#wah wah angry bcs another team found a loophole in the loophole sport???#i love tho brundle is like talking abt how he loves how teams exploit and bypass the rulebook#like to be the rulebook is like...you read it in depth so you can see what you can get away with#and obv the other teams will be annoyed but at the same time i feel like id be lowkey congratulatory like wow nice loophole!!#and also the rb5 was pretty good imo and just needed time and got bludgeoned by the brawn#meanwhile the ferrari of this ssn is basically like the ferrari of well this season#like ferrari and mclaren in 2009 basically had thw same situation as this yr#start out shit and then developed enough along the season to get podiums and wins#like rbr somewhat has a point bcs imo theyd def be the top team if not for brawn's double diffuser#so i get that yknow. but ferrari was just straight up trash and cant put up w the fact that they made a shit car#also 2009 KERS is SOOOOOOO much more broken and unfair than the DD imo!!!#like ex. Fisi totally should have won Spa but Kimi got him literally just bcs of KERS#but god yeah anyways these fucking politics ny god....the one thing max moseley did right was to accept the Brawn hahaha#why am i getting pissed at 14 year old drama LMFAO#fuck i am so happy for Brawn i think it would truly be the most unfair thing in the entire sport if they had screwed them over#i reallt just think the other teams were eternally salty because they voted to get Brawn into the sport#and then get pissy when Brawn is actually fucking fantastic#like they just expected them to be trash and then got pissed when they werent backmarkers its so dumb#ANYWAYS THEYRE NOW TALKING ABOUT CHINA 2009 MY FUCKING BELOVED SEBMARKSON!!!!!!!!#^ but speaking of that. so funny that christian was a total whiny bitch at the FIA meeting btwn Malaysia and China#talking abt how unfsir the decision was and then WENT ON TO WIN THE VERY NEXT RACE LIKE BRUH STFFUUUUUU#catie.rambling.txt
