[oh-cramity-its-amity]

remembering that time i forgot i left oil in a pan on a lit stove while cutting peppers for an omelet a few months ago.

me: 'oh, what's that sound? it sounds like my alarm clock.' *two seconds later* me: 'I didn't leave my alarm clock on this morning...' *looks over and realizes wtf is happening*

anyway, i then proceeded to speculate w my friend on whether or not a firefighter au could work because im just that unhinged. JUST THAT UNHINGED. (ofc like after the smoke cleared out and everything WAS FINE. rip that pan though dude).

"AND ITD BE CALLED 'SHE SET THE ROOM A-BLIGHT'" "no it should be 'She set the room a-luz"" "wait no ur so right." that idea lives in my head rent FREE. RENT FREE. both of those puns, "PLEASE TELL ME THE FIRST RESPONSE YOU HAD FROM ALMOST BURNING DOWN UR APARTMENT WAS NOT FANFICTION, BILLY"

"..."

"BILLY!!!"

Just Another Day at Luigi's Flower Shop

Idea for an episode with an unusual format; The main plot follows a character outside of the crew, while the crew are having one of their usual big chaotic adventures in the background.

The focus character is Amitie from the Puyo Puyo series, who Luigi has hired to help out at his Flower Shop. There's a few reasons he decided to hire some help. The first is that, with the shop gaining popularity and taking up more of his time, having employees around to shoulder some of the load just makes sense for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. There's also the fact that he's constantly getting dragged into the rest of the crew's bullshit or called on to help deal with some major crisis, and in both cases he currently has to close up shop whenever that happens. If he's not the only one working there, it can stay open during regular business hours even when he's inevitably dragged off into adventure kicking and screaming.

Anyway, Amitie's there for her first day at work, and dealing with the usual trappings of a retail job in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom. That is to say, Idiots, Karens, Memes, the actual Karen as one of the few actually decent customers, and an attempted holdup by Wheeler (Shroomy's career criminal grandpa who stole Mario's liver that one time) that she manages to solve through a Puyo Puyo match because of course she does. Also Marcy buys a cactus for her apartment and names it Pinchy.

Meanwhile, Professor E. Gadd buys some fertilizer to experiment with, and ends up creating a giant plant monster that swallows him whole and attacks the city. The crew jumps in to stop it as usual, grabbing Luigi to help since he's the one most knowledgeable about plants. They spend basically the entire episode fighting it in the background, with Bob making at least one hentai joke because of course he does, and then Meggy and Mario get the idea to defeat it using the flower shop's entire stock of weedkiller. Mario uses the Professor's credit card to pay for it on the grounds that he's the one who caused the problem so he's gonna pay for the solution.

Then at the end of the episode when the giant plant stuff has been resolved and Luigi and Amitie are closing up shop we get this exchange;

Luigi: Sorry your fist day was so hectic.

Amitie, as bright and chipper as ever: That's okay Mister Luigi, I was kind of expecting it.

Luigi: Really?

Amitie: Yep! You and your friends kinda have a reputation. If I didn't think I could handle crazy stuff like that I wouldn't have applied in the first place!

Luigi: That's a relief. I was honestly worried you'd run off screaming an hour in like the last few hires.

Amitie: Oh, you definitely won't have to worry about that from me!

Amitie, suddenly extremely grim and serious: Because I really need this job, and I don't care what I have to do or who I have to go through to keep it.

Luigi, shivering slightly: . . .

Amitie, back to cheerful: Well, see you tomorrow Mister Luigi!

Luigi, after she leaves: ...Yeah, she'll fit right in with us.

-🧡

HOORAY! Thank you muchly, Rayman! So kind of you!

I'll certainly be looking forward to your future, brilliant recommendations, but care kits are certainly something I'm strongly thinking about! Recipe kits I hadn't considered before, but I'll be keeping in mind. Thank you for your input!

When it comes to modern Baavira AUs the thing I struggle with most is giving Kuvira a reasonable normal job~ Baatar I could come up with several (college professor, an engineer of any kind, repairman, ect.) but Kuvira stumps me a lot of the time lol nothing ever really feels like something she'd naturally choose to want to do, or at least fits with my interpretation of her hmm

Yo! It's ya boi, Guzma.

So I've seen people goin' around and sendin' lovey-dovey letters to their cuties. What's up with that? Dunno but I thought, ya know, why not send one to ya, heh? OK maybe Plum' elbowed me in the sides sayin' I should force myself to be romantic for once. What's up with that?

But ya know. Thought wouldn't leave my mind so here I am, writin' to my sweetie. Hope you'll like it, my li'l Butterfree. Man, ya boi's bad at romance, OK? But I love ya. For reals.

Maybe we could, I dunno, go on a fancy date or some sh- somethin'. In Malie Garden, maybe? Away from the boys for once, just me and ya, yeah? Yeah, man. Sounds perfect to me. I just wanna cuddle with ya, y'know? Have a bit o' peace and quiet alone with my beautiful Beautifly. Is that too much to ask, Arceus?

Sorry, no point complainin' to mythical mons. I just wish we could have a moment, ya know?

OK this is gettin' embarrassing. Imma go train Golisopod for a while, then maybe we can get outta Po Town and do something cool together, yeah?

Ya boi who's bad at romance but hella grateful for ya, Guzma 🪲🖤

[un-pearable]

immediately post s4 kai and skylor dynamic that’s somewhere between baby’s first genuine romance and “the only other person in my life who knows how to run a business” ft. them both fumbling to figure out how to file taxes for a corporation whose every major employee got turned into a snake and exiled to another dimension

[bardicious]

Alternatively, if Tumblr just disappears, it might save me from the last connections I have to social media. Cause all these places fucking suck, and it's not necessarily the sites, its the people.

Work stuff

Yesterday I finally got a job title and I can't say I'm happy "business analyst / product engineer" is what I got. Can't say I'm happy "business process engineer" is a possible thing to call me or "business operations director". Can't say I'm happy that they intentionally let me be the person who fills in for everyone else when they kept telling me that they're trying to get me out of these roles. Can't say I appreciate that lie when I wanted to be an engineer.

Especially like you guys have been clear as mud and I'm legitimately the one supposed to make business decisions here? I'm legitimately the person who is supposed to run this company and direct the day to day operations? 1. I never knew that was my job officially and 2. As your business analyst I'm really mad that you aren't letting me know anything about staffing

I'm not saying I don't run business operations. I'm applying for "operations manager" positions so I know what it is I do. I just wish they told me. I think the reason they didn't is if they said that's what I do then I'd leave.

He was like "this is actually not that bad a job and you're really good at it" but I wanted to be an engineer.

At least I know what he'll agree is my job on his reference letters and reference calls.

I told him he has to restructure his company with me leaving and either officially move away from manufacturing or hire an engineer that would be completely underutilized with a high salary. 🤦 As your business operations lead I'm really worried about how nonchalant you are with replacing such a high salary job
