i thought i'd lost my trek pronoun pin and couldn't find it anywhere/remember where i'd put it,,,

i usually keep it in the same place in my bag as my earplugs but i recently lost a pair of those too so i was getting worried i'd lost more things without noticing (like my travel cutlery which are still MIA and i really don't know how that happened) i remembered vaguely that i either lost/left it at a) an interview or b) at a con or c) in my trek uniform/bag and i couldn't find it in any of my trek gear at first so i was getting really sad that i'd lost it/probably wouldnt be able to get it back- especially cuz it was a few months ago

IT WAS INSIDE MY TRICORDER

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY FIVE HOURS REMAIN

thank-you @shrekgogurt @artsyunderstudy and @imagineacoolusername for the tags!

you all cannot fathom how utterly excited i am for mermay. so excited that i've started another WIP, and if luck's a lady this month i might even get all the way through it before real life grabs me by the scruff. here's a little smackerel of simon POV from it!

It clatters to the floor and the sound is excruciating and immediate. Baz jerks away from me with a hiss, clapping his hands over his ears as I swear and scramble for the button to turn it off. The piercing tone echoes all the way down the staircase, still ringing long after I tip the switch.

“Nereus, what was that?!” he snarls, staring wide-eyed at the radio like he thinks it might jump out and bite him.

“It’s alright!” I tell him, throwing my jacket over it and stowing it back on the shelf, “It’s fine. That’s the emergency-button, it’s just an alarm you can set off if you need to be heard from really far away. Like if you got stuck under debris, or something.”

“That was horrific, Cadwallader.”

i was just cleaning and i realized that i'm less stressed about the actual brain surgery than i am about the fact that i know that left to her own devices my roommate will not clean anything while i'm gone for a month

hi hi i had a very very busy but very very fun day and i wanted to update you with the three most important developments:

1) i have one (1) flatmate! she got here from india literally five minutes ago so we said a brief hello and she went to sleep but she seems so nice and i can't wait to get to know her properly

2) i had my course induction today and everyone was so so nice and i'm super excited for the course!

3) as a byproduct of my new friends from my course i:

a) know how to use the subway

b) HAVE CUTLERY!!! someone else also didn't have cutlery and we were laughing about it and then during the lunch break she went to get some and she got me some too!! what a lovely person

[hella1975]

there's this one girl at work who thinks she's the Waitress Supreme literally is convinced the goddess of waitresses shat her out and stuck her in a barely-functioning pub in the arsecrack of england and today i was soooo poorly and sickly and weak and feeble literally on death's door cough coughu oug h etc and still had to do a 12-10 shift bc i need MONEY, so safe to say i was not in the mood for her omd. like this girl is not a manager. she is not even a supervisor. she is a student that, while working full-time, comes and goes in regards to her studies. so tell me WHY she tries to give me orders as if she's not only in a position to do so but also like she's singlehandedly running the fucking military. 'that cutlery hasn't been polished yet' 'why are you making drinks for the chefs when there's tables to clear' 'B2 havent had their menus'. all incredibly valid points when you give each problem at least 2 minutes to naturally resolve itself AND the problem in question is in your section AND you speak to people with a friendly, helpful tone instead of the most patronising bitchy voice you ever heard. i wanted to kill her dead i literally had to just ignore her every time she spoke to me even if it did come across rude like it was either that or lose my job to an ABH charge.

never feel bad about having an attitude with annoying men they need their egos brought down a little, they don't feel bad about being a bitch so why should you?

I don’t know why seeing Kristie hanging out with Sam’s friends in Perth eating roast chook and Red Rooster brings me so much joy. Excellent choice to stay in WA too, the east is having a very cold and rainy summer atm. Seems like NZ is going through it too.

i knowww she’s being immersed in the aussie experience and getting to know who sam surrounds herself with its so 🥰🥰 i’m convinced they bought the kinder bueno for kristie since i believe it’s banned in the us…?

and yes, currently suffering it’s so cold and rainy and windy

wahoo!!

[hua-fei-hua]

alright whenever you have time (and also the energy) I would love to hear your thoughts on the lantern rite epilogue! Have a good day <3

we're going to pretend that people following me will care abt genshin 3.4 lantern rite spoilers so we're gonna put my entire deranged mess under a cut hahaha

*gently holds* MY XVS......

truly this lantern rite had EVERYTHING although truth be told, like, the way venti was kind of shoehorned in was a little disappointing. i felt a little bit baited by the way the 3.4 TRAILER HAD THAT ONE CUT RIGHT where it goes from VENTI PLAYING THE LYRE in the harbor to XIAO LOOKING UP AT THE FIREWORKS outside of wangshu inn, and then we see the xiao bit in the actual cutscene on day 2, but absolutely none of venti until the epilogue. and also we never see venti playing the lyre during the event story so it's like. whoever edited that pv absolutely had xv on the brain. like. what the hell was that it was magical i feel higher than a boat right now

BUT ANYWAY like i don't even care how obviously shoehorned in venti felt bc the interactions were all SO PERFECT i love love loved them. i loved the way hu tao just RAN INTO WANGSHU INN and started shouting for xiao, and then talked death to him until he was like "yeah sure i'll go to your dinner". they are so besties i love them their friendship is everything to me.

THE WAY. XV INTERACTED. IN FRONT OF US. xiao just like "well. um. there's this. um. um." TOTAL PANIC MODE n venti had to SAVE HIM with like "huuuh? did you forget already? i'm a bard!" like HELLO why do they need a COVER STORY why are they making up COVER STORIES TOGETHER WHAT WERE THEY DOING TOGETHER IN THE MARSH EARLIER like what kind of GAY SHIT--

also i'm pretty sure when xiao started explaining his relationship to venti, venti fluttered his lashes at him. like, i recorded the whole quest (bc i didn't last year with the final part n i REALLY WISH I HAD bc i STILL remember the dRAMATIC GASP i had when we had that one beiguang moment in the cutscene), and when i rewatched it earlier i was like. "HANG ON. DID HE JUST FLUTTER HIS LASHES" n rewatched it like three times. maybe my game was just stuttering BUT IT DEFINITELY LOOKED LIKE IT and maybe i'll gif it when i get home from work tonight

BUT ANYWAY (2) point is that the expression work this time was ON POINT like whoever's doing all that over at mhy hq needs to get a raise pronto. venti going (¬‿¬) at all the other immortals was so immaculate. you aren't subtle little man!!!

it's probably just shipper goggles on to an extent, but i feel like the xv implications were really strong this time around, with the parallels to that fontch guy's ancestor, and the guiping n everything... i'm kind of disappointed that we don't get to actually hear any of venti's unobstructed thoughts on xiao; like the ribbing n implications at the dinner are a lot of fun (like, they were totally making out in the marsh before dinner. we all know this. it's very clear imo), but it kind of makes me wonder why we can hear xiao like... do his Very Heavy Implying abt venti's importance to him (though again, he doesn't outright say anything-- we know the full extent n depth of xiao's feelings abt venti (romantic or not) bc we can read his character stories, so technically really he hasn't told us jack squat in the current canon timeline), but the best we get from venti are smug expressions. those expressions are very telling, ofc, but a very unhinged part of me wishes that mhy didn't feel the need to wrap up the xv in layers of allegory and metaphor and just outright heard one of them say, "this person is very dear to me." i know it's just the rabid shipper in me, and i need to be sedated, but i was really kind of hoping that we'd see the allegory w/the fontch guy's ancestor n madame ping lifted away at the end n, like, see or hear it be bound to xv outright. just for purely self-indulgent purposes o(--(

but anyway (3) i also love love loved all the playful ribbing, witty banter, and prev event callbacks btwn the characters!! hu tao n venti canonically making a pact to be poetry friends was SO GOOD you just KNOW hu tao is gonna commission venti to compose a JINGLE for wangsheng advertising purposes later, while zhongli n xiao are like, "this meeting never should have happened. we are all doomed." somehow i legitimately forgot that xq n venti know each other from irodori n was like, "...huh?" when xq mentioning knowing venti for like, a FULL two seconds. the way venti was like "damn you know i was right outside this entire time. can you believe the way some people ignore the wind?" n zhongli was like "hahaha (✿◡‿◡) the harbor is very busy this time of year (✿◠‿◠) it is very hard see or hear an individual person's whereabouts (^人^)"

AND ALSO. PAIMON BEING ELECTED AS THE "MOST DISTINGUISHED GUEST." PAIMON YOU GOT IN THE WAY OF MY DERANGED SELF-DELUSIONMENT MANY TIMES THIS LANTERN RITE BUT THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. i thought it was interesting how no one nominated venti. like i was kind of expecting xiao to do it (but ofc he nominates traveler) which is fair honestly, n then i was like "IS LUMINE GONNA NOMINATE VENTI????" but then she nominated paimon n paimon was like "wait... me?????" n it was just EXACTLY like a bunch of adults telling the little kid they are the most specialest ever n they should have the honor of doing The Thing. as that little kid growing up, i know the feeling very well lol

there are other bits i'm just,,, rotating around in my mind, like venti and kazuha hanging out on the alcor, the way xiao goes "i can't taste the difference in xiangling's special almond tofu" when you go visit him afterwards, ALL THE GANQING THAT HAPPENED IN THE MAIN STORY I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM I'M SO HAPPY FOR ME I WON VERY HARD THIS LANTERN RITE, n like,,, yeah!!!!

im sticking my head in the sand to ignore All Of The Infighting Discourse i’ve seen on this app the last couple days to bring you news of the Real infighting that actually matters: my personal vendetta i have now developed against the catering staff where i work. next time i see one of those guys im gonna maul them

[crowleyaj]

bad news: in the course of the last two weeks, flatmate went from slightly annoying, messy and irresponsible to an outright arsehole, especially at work

good news: I might be moving into a single flat very soon, possibly this weekend!!
