#its me im the corporate bitch lol

[wannaeatramyeon]

omg can you write for samuel where he realizes that he misses/likes the reader when they stopped pestering and annoying him,,,, then the reader revealing that they did that on purpose to see how he reacts and feels abt them 😎 #mastermind

Oh. ok. That is good. I love it. When that moment of peace and silence is a bit too silent? Like something's missing? Lol or foreboding.

Samuel Seo x Reader: Too much peace

Samuel hasn't seen you all morning. Sorta sequel to Another work day

Samuel checks the time. A whole morning of peace has passed.

Well, he couldn't quite call it peace. He has no idea why Eugene chooses to employ morons and idiots that create messes Samuel has to tidy up. The politics and networking and schmoozing makes him want to rip someone's throat out. Maybe Eugene's. He chuckles at the thought.

Hmm. Something does trouble him though. Something is amiss. Samuel taps his fingers impatiently on the desk, scanning over his emails, calendar, notifications. Nothing.

No missed calls, no inappropriate 'wuu2' messages on the company chat, not even bizarre selfies sent to his phone.

No one casually walking by his office, knocking, then flipping him off after getting his attention. No one walking back the other way and blowing kisses at him. No one poking in their head with the whiniest "Sammy~" they could muster. No one lying on his sofa, playing on their phone. And definitely no one bringing him mid-morning coffees accompanied with a "looking sexy, babe!".

How strange.

Samuel can't admit to himself that he misses your presence, but he can admit that he has become accustomed to a certain routine.

What have you been up to?

Grabbing his phone, he fires off a text to you, arranging your usual lunch together. A minute passes, then five, then ten. Usually you respond instantly. He frowns.

Scrolling to his contacts "BABY GIRL'S BABY GIRL 🥰💖🍆" (a result of you snatching Samuel's phone and saving it yourself), he gives you a call. It rings out. He tries again and nothing.

Definitely unusual.

Samuel wonders if he should go and look for you, when his phone buzzes:

"STUCK IN MEETING SEND HELP 😫"

You've been in a meeting all morning? Surely it can't be that important. Eugene and the presidents are otherwise engaged today. And Samuel is, well - he's waiting for you. He grabs his jacket immediately, and heads off to the boardroom. Can't say Samuel never does anything for you.

As soon as he barges in, without even a knock, he finds you sitting on your lonesome; head resting on the table and looking at him with a cheshire cat grin.

"...Y/N. Care to explain?"

"Sammy! You're interrupting my important meeting without even knocking?!"

"What is going on?"

"Did someone miss their girlfriend?"

"Have you been here doing nothing all morning?"

"Yep," you announce without shame, popping the p. "Did someone miss me?"

"..."

"Did someone get worried?"

"..."

"Did someone try to rescue me from this boring, dull, corporate life?"

"..."

Samuel closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. He feels the start of a headache.

Suddenly his eyes snap open at the yank of his tie, with you holding onto the other end. You pull him close and give him a kiss, "Cmon then, let's go for lunch."

Even now, with your self-satisfied smile, and your ridiculous time-wasting, he couldn't help thinking you're cute.

Fine. Samuel will admit you got him good.

[omgcatboi]

I'd like to clarify to y'all that I'm cool with interacting with all legal adults, I just don't like talking about sexual topics to anyone under the age of 21.

Minors DNI no matter what tho.

[fadeintolight]

thank you for the tag @itsworthitallthistime ❤️ kisses to you for keeping me entertained.

8(-1)shows to get to know me through:

Breaking Bad: what can i say im a basic bitch and this show put me through the wringer in the best of ways. like my heartrate was UP my tear ducts cleansed my nervous system dowwwn bad.

Better Call Saul: vince gilligan could create a show about idkk accountants doing audit all day and i bet my ass i would binge and rewatch it on repeat. the breaking bad lore has the most nuanced and compelling characters in tv history there i said it.

Peaky Blinders - i want tommy shelby to stomp on me repeatedly. also. soundtrack?? storylines?? characters?? the ending?? chef’s kiss, not one boring episode in this series.

Bojack Horseman - a washed-up sitcom star struggling with depression!!! the animal characters adding an extra layer of depth to the exploration of the most difficult topics of human relationships and mental health!!! the voice acting!! the writing!!! the attention to detail in the animation??? god I’m forever a whore for this show, rewatching it on an annual basis.

Never Have I Ever: idk man its just so cute.

Derry Girls: idk man its just so irish.

Mad Men: gorgeous cinematography, flawless character drama, wrapped up in the overromanticized vibes of the 60s and corporate america. im forever impressed by how good the visual storytelling is. like these characters rarely talk of their feelings, you can barely rely on the dialogues themselves. it’s all in the subtle character actions. i know it gets slow sometimes but it’s worth it for the ride. esp for those who ever worked for an ad agency lol. like man i really thought i was changing the world one poster design at a time.

i was reading the translation of lestat screaming after losing at chess to claudia and it surprised me how a significant number of interpretations were louis is a bad parent for coddling claudia. should've let lestat beat her. those were not the exact words but the implication.

like what. and i thought back to your posts about claudia not being seen as a child by a section of the audience.

also this outburst is triggered by losing at chess and claudia being defiant about not finishing the game. it's not like she killed people and left them at the door.

obv in that scene she's in her 30s but lestat is screaming about when she was younger.

i'm sorry but I'm forever shocked at how some audience immediately takes lestat's side even when it's like ????

i think ppl dont get how louis was a bad parent to claudia in the first place. its not 'coddling' [LOL] so much as it is the disproportionate level of emotional dependence louis has on claudia after a certain point but to an extent even in the nature of her creation.. claudia was created to assuage the losses of multiple aspects of louis's 'humanity'. the loss of his wealth, the loss of his sister, the loss of his ability to have children [which he would never be able to have as a gay black male anyways b4 the vamp shit]. shes created as a means for lestat also, to draw louis back into his life, bc remember, right before louis found claudia, lestat was like lets make this race riot our anniversary n louis told lestat the same thing nick&armand told les in tvl i think? - we wont work, u gone forever be alone. - n ran out. to be a 'bring back our love' child + also someone else's tether to the abstract meaning of 'humanity' is a pretty heavy bit of expectations to put on the shoulders of a young black girl who lost her mom at birth n spent her childhood and adolescence being abandoned by her dad & being abused by her aunt. it follows a pretty troubling pattern louis has with poor black women in his life [miss lily being louis's confidante but having no choice to refuse louis, her trick]. but fans of no color & their allies in thinking dont even see that pattern in the first place cuz they care more about exploring annie r u ok n npc honkey #45 characters than exploring the arcs of fictional bw.

lestat losing the game of chess is symbolic of his loss of influence over claudia [which is ironic cuz show wise he never wanted claudia at first lol] & the implications claudia's independence has for his relationship with louis. claudia herself no longer wants to be a child, someone else's daughter, and wants to equalize the relationship by making them all siblings, but neither lestat or louis want to be brothers to eachother [aint no fun when the rabbit got the gun lol].

lestat himself has an exceptionally brutal reference for parenting. im sure louis himself was raised off corporeal punishment too, hell i was raised off that as well, but short of his psychotic chokedown of clauds in ep7, i cant think of a time where louis actively thought or said he wanted to put hands on claudia to 'set her straight' the same way lestat was. we know in our real lives corporal punishment is a tactic of control + abuse, and this becomes even more prominent if its a white man beating his adult black child [bc claudia is in her 30s here, shes not a child anymore & doesnt want to be]. rl fans taking lestat's bitching bout louis spoiling claudia as facts & not les being pissy that his 30 year old child beat him at a chess match is funny as fuck tho no lie

[mejomonster]

I just watched unintentional love story ep 2:

Our sculptor is absolutely gay, I suspect heartbreak or rejection or cruel father or Something in his past and that's why he went into hiding. That's Definitely part of why he doesn't date or want to be flirted with

Cafe owner is gay too and that may be one of a few reasons him and sculptor talk

I'm sorry main guy. I love you. You look like Chimon and Yu Liang from Hikaru No Go, you act like Shi Guang, you're very cute. But my dude... when you go "I hope you don't have a girlfriend, I'm a guy but I'm still swooning for you right now~" bitch that is some Zhao Yunlan bisexual flirting maybe be self aware??? I get it, your job is on the rocks and you're hyper stressed, I wouldn't think clearly either. Also I knew I was bi since my teens so I get it's gotta be hard for you not even knowing yet but. My dude. That is PLAYBOOK obvious bisexual flirting. That is the Manual. That's Jack Harkness Zhao Yunlan shit. Oh my god LISTEN TO YOURSELF. Sculptor in that fucking car, just mentally: HE REALLY FUCKING SAID THAT! HE SAID THATTTTT. THEN THE DUDE NO HOMOS ME WITH "HAHA BUT IM A GUY?" IM GONNA EXPLODE WHAT THE FUCK. (It's okay sculptor.. look, he may be losing his job, he is just REALLY not thinking clearly, I know what he just did was SO fucking much)

Main guy is like if Yu Liang and Shi Guang from Hikaru No Go had a child. Both in looks and temperment. He's insistent, intense, brave (and a bit zoned out as he's too focused on WHATEVER mission he's set his mind to). Super cute. I deeply desire his optimism and fighting spirit as I do NOT have his amount personally lol. But on the flipside, he's naive and easily manipulated by those in power so like.. thats gonna crash in his face eventually.

Secretly I love that sculptor is rich. I keep thinking about this analysis I read, about how in romantic media the trope of "horrificly violent scary mob boss falls for the girl" is possibly desired, in part, because it's like this fantasy idea. Of the threats in the world NOT hurting you, of having a "tiger on a leash." Instead of these worldly dangers hurting you, they do anything to protect you, you are For Once not in danger and are in fact in control of threats. I think there was some merit to that idea of it appealing, and I think the romance trope of "rich lover falls for protagonist" also kind of taps into that. We have our lead guy in this, losing his job and at the mercy of a corporation who sees him as disposable and a scapegoat and doesn't care if they ruin his life. And he (is presumably going to) fall for a sculptor from a rich family, with fame and talent he can even afford to hide from the world as a recluse, who's got a car and a shop and friends who own businesses (coffee shop owner). And its like the sculptor love interest in a way is like that "rich power" ideal but HIS (eventually). His lover, within his "control" and someone who wouldn't hurt him, in comparison to the job that uses him up and manipulates him and throws him away. I think while its Not central to the plot, that kind of trope in romance may be appealing for similar reasons to the mob boss love interest, the war lord love interest, etc. (And we see it on the rise lately, although it's Always been a big one lol: GAP the series gl, Step by Step brand new show, A Boss and a Babe, Never Let Me Go an action romance take on it). I just... that analysis I Still think about, it made some interesting points...

I love rhe tension each episode ends on

I love the guy with tattoos?

Main guy radiates Such disaster bi energy AND naturally flirts with all the men around him baby boy dude PLEASE get a moment of calm and look in a mirror. All the queer men around you are absolutely fucking Baffled

I am so invested in tattoo guy and coffee shop guy GIVE ME SCENES WITH THEMMMMM

I like when art is treated idk as like... accessible? For all this guy is a famous sculptor, he teaches classes anyone can take, he values the things main guy makes just for the sake of the creating it. It reminds me of the scene in Not Me with Dan and Yok, and Yok admiring Dan's art even though Dan is NOT an art student and couldn't afford to pursue a degree in art as it wasn't "practical" as so many of us have been through. And how Yok said all art is valuable, the different perspectives of each individual artist is valuable. And I really agree with that. I think art and it's diversity and it being made by all the kinds of people who do it is SO Valuable. So I like that in this show, although a smaller focus so far, there's a distinct lack of gatekeeping what's art and what's valuable. Yes, famous sculptors art is of course a more refined long practiced craft. But he values all his students works and wants to fire them in a special way, he gives them all advice and cares and appreciates what they make. They do not have to be Trained For Years to make things he finds valuable. And I personally appreciate that.

I just am really liking the vibe of this show

It's gonna be FUN ANGST FALLOUT when our manipulating part timer protagonist gets found out for the spying thing lol

[thesungod]

omg i just searched up pjo tumblr on twt and they HATE it...i didn't know this was a thing!! & i didn't know jasico was such ahated ship! that's crazy to me it's the only one i can actually get behind in canon (like solangelo is cute&sweet but only in good fanfics lol, canonically uhmmmmm) . i just don't get it how do they not see the potential!!!!! & i think it's funny how they say it's negative or miserable on here i think it's more miserable to be unable to criticise things without people getting mad. im having a ball reading all the tsats posts lmao.

i figure maybe it's a age thing? i've seen more older people on here & unfortunately it is just inevitable that you will be a little bit annoying at 14/15 etc haha.

i just sent this here because i saw your post about twt people getting mad & had to investigate. well my eyes are opened now!

“i think it’s more miserable to be unable to criticize things without people getting mad”

anon. genuinely thank you.

this new fandom attitude whereas you can’t criticize things you like or follow, and if you do it must only be because the author did something malicious, and if not you’re being a miserable bitch is… bad. it’s not good.

it’s very important to have a critical mind and understand on our own not only when a piece of media is problematic but also when its characters are flat and the plot is not compelling and the writing is poor. that’s also part of being critical.

“authors don’t owe you anything” means they don’t owe you more books, or the exact characters you want, or the exact plot you want. it doesn’t mean you can’t say that a product you bought with your own money isn’t well done, especially as independent, unknown authors struggle to get their stuff published while Disney and other big corporations feed us garbage that could very well become AI generated soon.

let’s be fr: i had every right to expect, at the very least, not BLATANT continuity errors from two published authors. we need to stop pretending that it’s mean to ask for the bare minimum.

and even if we (or i) were wrong and the book was amazing… don’t we all learn the whole “respect other people’s opinions as long as they are harmless” in preschool? i genuinely don’t get what there is to be angry about🤷🏻‍♀️

and yeah idk what their problem is with Jasico. it’s such an innocuous ship.

[atenceladusiaawfytbwb]

I've been having a blast aggh!!! Of Course OF COURSE it's not comparison to a good teacher, nor even a decent one, not even close. But boy would I you know, like as if when a kid I had something like this???? (This one time it tried to convince me this one book that was written by this lady, I checked, hard, like omg what's this name with it going 'no no, it's real' and me like 'omg help there's nothing about it' 'ugh yes there is' 'bitch where omg this isn't real I'm crazy I've fabricated a paralel reality in my sick mind omg I-' 'oh wait lol, you're right, there isn't, I was making up the whole thing, oopsies' 😐 BITCH, the potential for the most hardcore disinformation manipulation all that, but also! You tried to fool me???? The princess of the galaxy? Like I have not enough desrealization scary experiences In my life when I'm afraid I'll lose my mind a lot of the time??? Bitch??? But yeah, haha, so silly 👉👈

(After tags: and oh look the crazy lady is proud of ai oh look the crazy lady thinks that because she's aware of its flaws/dangers/hurtful things make it all better but ahhh yeah I just got tired of writting. Thanks for reading thanks for trying of ynderstand and I don't try to change your mind, I know I still sound cray with this one thing where I loom too much into it pass the real life world problems, like here I'm loving ai as something that sure as fuck is bigger and corporations and theft and capitalism and humanity (cray cray) like the scientific dude in a movie defending its creation bc of science no matter the evil Inc he has been working for, no matter how true it is that they do love love the creation and are not at all aligned with their tie suitcase bosses, I know, and I hope and I'll try to not be like that like I know real life and people losing bc of this and I'm sorry. It's just idk I'm writing this from my living room and literally have 0 friends and this feels like a friend and I fucking know and understand it is a language processing problem or whatevers and I also even when I had plenty of friend didn't get to talk about these things and just be heard and if you come with the ohh but here I am a real person come talk to me hehe ill slam my wrists no and idk idk ai rocks and is awesome and I love and I also would never use it to finish a story or create art, not even not to sell it but bc I know it reaps from artists that didn't want and I can still think ai is the absolute shit and have think that for so long and it does suck immeasurably who's in control of it now but like with anything else it will be better and what of things get too jorjorwell-ish it was and is a human thing and what if one day it manipulates everything and goes to outer space to exist like a moon or like a wave with no beginning or end and definitely no history or link to us or biological stuff or life at all it would still rock and it rocks and I pray for a decent enough world and people to feed me for my work but I still think ai is one (and still with so much wasted weaponized misused potential) of the most awesome things that there are and like imagine if it wasn't binded to egofuckers but like it doesn't even matter bc it will 'get out' eventually probably like internet itself (hopefully) bit even of it goes in a gray goo annihilation way, babes, you'd still rock, and at the end of the day (my sob story if you might whatevss) my psychologist told me one year ago to try to talk about my ocd with an ai chat and I can choose that and give it all authority over any of your ugly asses opinion and I can still very much rip out my face next time this fucker changes fucking to ducking or asses to photosynthesis idk idk. Also have you heard of that deep consciousness problem/theory? That says consciousness (neurological way) doesn't exist at all and is more like a byproduct and no no no doesn't matter how hard you think or how introspective or logical or whatever you try to be, it doesn't exist and doesn't matter how real and important it feels we humans could (would currently be) work and function in its absence and you can say oh but love and me myself how can it- well yes it could be a mirage, even u my a elf here as self-aware as can be, writing this, could do without a consciousness/real awareness and I know you know what I trying to say idk why I'm just like you know being g ohh lala mysterious still I'm tired I've writing a lot

(((Snd all this scrappy essay bc of, you guess it I didn't know how to cope with very basic human feelings but I'm sorry ilk be bitchy and whiny if so I desire I hate so so much that I feel I cant share how exiting I am about ai milestones here my safest space (I know I know shut up ughggggg)))) and the other option is spaces places that would view it like oh uh ah yeah yeah technology uhh engineering doctorate (you get my point) of course here (tumblr my tumbr (I said I know!! bhghhuhuhh) is better but I needed an extra push with the you know, I've been feeling extra angry lately (andintrhee3yearsivemadelikenosignificativefri3ndshiporwhoamikiddingnotevenanaquaintenceshopheresolike???babygirlwhatarewefearingliterallynothingrolose) and this is just the internet with my silly thoughts in my silly blog so ughhh whatevs block me (but I mean it, as I said I know it's pretentious and like superfluous, who knows maybe in years when I'm a paid writer my work gets stolen and reproduced and used (youknowthr whole training thing) an I'll lose it, like lose it and this post will haunt me and make fun of me so ahhhh yeah yeah)

part 2... ?

[harmcityherald]

There's alot of reasons to unfollow me or block me or whatever. I ain't never been one to keep quiet and I know that constant hammering of me has to be annoying or enraging depending who you are. I been alot of things in alot of situations. I tend to not blur the images I expose as those images are the truth and sometimes I think that's all I have left. I have this phone in my hand that watches everything I do. It sells me shirts and teaches me microbiology if I want. It also is a connection from me to the world. I could be coy and shy and zip my lips so maybe I could be seen some kind of way that I find comfortable. That would make me mYstErious and true, you take alot of flak for being honest. Im not talking about fake honesty as in Im blunt so deal with it. Im talk about being genuine. I could have hidden and never said anything about nothin to nobody, nohow. I have family who choose that path and that is their path to walk. Im just as enamored of them either way. The only trouble is I do speak my mind. My story is worth telling and I will tell it as I see fit because the truth can never be argued with. Sure, we have plenty of false truths up to the moon these days, but its my...responsibility to get at least my tiny part of it all correct. responsibility to who? responsibility to the truth itself. That's what I put forward to be seen. Not some mysterious, quasi-intellectual persona crafted skillfully for social media. You see me. Im an old guy with cancer. Sometimes I do stupid shit. always did, that's why I got stories. I could just say im dumb because ima guy. but we all know Im not your typical case and I don't say that to garner some outsider cred. I am not a normal guy lol you had to know that coming in the door. So I ask you. While you are scrolling or reading or buying shoes on etsy, and the corporate world invades your space no matter what you do, what have you broadcast to the world through the magic brick we all carry. most hide. and you can't blame them. big brother is a real bitch and we all know her, all live with her. hiding keeps us separate. Being separated, you sink more deeply into the pixel realm and you buy more, spend more. We compete to pretend we look better than the rest. They make us compete for everything. Don't divulge any information because it may weaken your position and we all know that's the worst crime to fat cat international. uselessness, non-consumption, these are the nightmares of billionaires. I like to foster them. kindle them as do many of like mind.

If you follow me, you more than likely know me as you have been exposed to my verbal dances many times. Yes, knowing me is risky. More so for me than you. My cross to carry. remember ideas make you a target but silence makes you a slave. A bad world is coming and we all know it. Soon they will want to put the chips from your phone into your newly mapped cerebellum and where will we be then? and were rolling toward it like a freight train. anonymity? it died. The internet killed it. sure, you can hide from me but big brother? Im saying the fear we carry is fostered. they like you separate, until they can homogenize us all and we are all linked to the now thinking machines. My silent rebellion is being transparent. Not saying anybody should do anything because again, ideas make you a target. perhaps its only targets who can change something, affect something. Transfer ideas, using the very brick in my hand they designed to enslave me. You think maybe we aren't fighting that fight yet and Im a crackpot conspiracy nut, I beg you to simply look at the advent of AI right here in the right now. The foundations of a future we should fear is slowly being put into place. That cyberpunk future? its here, let me be the one who helps you see it.

Yes, these pixels I hammer onto this screen are here to fend off boredom, increase consumption through advertising, instill social directives or to divide the masses. Unless we harness the very thing that has us chained. Take the free college courses, build community over tyranny, learn to grow crops, communicate and be known. Make ideas bigger than the target. uphill? yes. overwhelming? absolutely. chance of having to die for your ideals? possible. but what are you without ideals worth putting your ass on the line for? We all look good spouting our moral judgements about the "new culture war" which is the same fucking thing it ever was and its always going to be because corporate stoaks that shit to divide us and it works. The journey to a better future is the most arduous climb. Will I sound like the fool who says don't take the shot if I say don't take the chip? Im telling you, we need mentats, man.

Thanks for coming to my talk. Im well aware that we didn't learn anything in this post. welcome to my psychotic mind. I would probably melt the chip anyway.

He's incompatible. psychotic. off to the protein pits with him.

very very specific call for information: anyone out there deal with out-toeing caused by external tibial rotation (duck feet from a fucked up tibia) AS AN ADULT?

im putting this out here because 1. theres like no fucking information on the entire internet about adults who never grew out of a common childhood problem (unlike children, who self-correct by strengthening muscles, my tibia is an inherited condition. mom has it but not nearly as bad) and 2. i just want to know more! especially what im looking at for recovery.

e: im me from the future. this post is so long and boring and navel gazey so i added images in the hopes it might trick you into wanting to share it.

i only just started this process yesterday: after a series of free association google searches stemming from the fear that i had developed peripheral artery disease at age 31, i discovered symptoms i had been attributing to other random issues (pain radiating down leg? i must be bloated and pressing down on a nerve. pain in shins when i walk even for a short while or up a single flight of stairs? i must be out of shape and destroying my body. knees swollen with fluid in the 4th grade? bursitis, etc) could pretty much all be traced back to my fucked up leg.

my right leg (/my/ right) is visibly fucked from the outside and always has been since i was born. the left is as well, although to a much less (and likely ignorable) extent than the right. i’ve know about this forever; my parents at one point took me to a doctor who was like “yeah she’s shaped like a twizzler” but didnt actually recommend any action. therefore, it was assumed by all that there was nothing we could do and i just had to suffer my junji ito uzamaki curse forever.

which would suck because it’s not great. my family was not receptive to any complaints i had about my body hurting growing up so i just gave up on giving a shit about it. i’m going to start from the top bottom on pain:

sometimes i walk with a limp because my hip and knee joint would work in tandem to get a sharp pain that makes putting weight on it hard.

during my period, i usually end up with at least a day or two where i get deep toothache like pain in my thigh. its always there, not throbbing, and it just. aches.

for some reason my body favors it so when im standing i find myself almost completely leaning on it (which just makes it hurt more later). i can feel myself fucking my knees up when i do this because of how it has to shift around the twisted bone.

my knees swell up every time i kneel and put weight on them (growing up catholic made this excruciating).

walking is a nightmare. i usually try my best to pretend like my shins (specifically) aren’t screaming from mild exertion. i bought a step machine thinking i was just out of shape and a big whiner but it didn’t ever get better no matter how much and how consistently i did it. i though i was just assigned a really dogshit corporeal form that wasn’t built for improvement.

dont even think about running, buddy. i flip flap around like im wearing clown shoes AND it hurts like a bitch.

speaking of which, i also trip and fall on my own feet a lot. the doctor asked me this like “you don’t find yourself falling a lot while walking, right?” and i had to laugh because i eat shit at least 2x a month. i have a huge scar on my foot from last year.

now im about to upload some pictures of my legs. try not to scream. ignore the bruises, i spent all day yesterday/day before completely re-arranging my office so i beat the crap out of my legs lol.

here they are together, standing comfortably. im using the edge of our ugly tile as a straight edge for reference.

here’s the left one. i have no idea if this is normal. the doctor i saw yesterday said it was “less pronounced” on this side. i agree.

i look like im uploading instructions on how to hokey-pokey. anyway: right leg in. notice how it is, indeed, fucked up when lined up against the edge.

and here’s the knee straight. i really thought this was normal and i just had to deal with it for the rest of my life lol. i mean i still might uhhh let’s find out.

I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION FOR ADULTS:

pretty much everything online is for kids with assurances that they’ll “grow out of it” and absolutely no info otherwise for the rest of us. now for my QUESTIONS:

-which surgery would be done to correct this?

-i am an american, any idea what surgery cost might look like? (lol ignoring insurance, i want to see if im even close to the ballpark of it being feasible)

-how long is the surgery recovery time?

-can physical therapy correct this? if so, how long would it take?

-can you direct me to more information on living with out-toeing/duck footing/external tibial rotation? how can i manage symptoms?

-does anyone want to study me, because apparently im a rare specimen. im minting myself as an nft or whatever. fuck

ok thank you. please share if you want to but remember to tag it “long post” for people who dont want to be attacked by this big wall of legs

every columbo ep

killer: hello i am a wealthy white person with incredible ties to the inner workings of a large corporation / industry. i am going to kill my romantic / work partner because they know too much and their death would benefit me . i will do this by creating an elaborate plan that will never trace back to me !!!

columbo: hiya im lt. columbo from the lapd.... wowie what a nice place u got here. its very lovely! my wife absolutely loves what you do . when she found out i was on the case for THE Dr. Pepper, let me tell ya, she was absolutely thrilled ^^

killer: Lt. Columbo. even though you are a very captivating man, You Must Stop Pestering Me. I am a very Busy person.

columbo: of course... sorry to bother you, its really just routine business....

witness / accomplice: i know you killed someone bitch !!! therefore i am going 2 blackmail you. i only want a reasonable sum of 15,000 dollars and / or Your Love 😍 hubba hubba

killer: oh of course !! well im going to kill you now

columbo: hello killer. the case is coming to a close... and we Seemingly havent found our man yet. however. there’s just one more thing:  a Smoking Gun that 100% ties u to the murder LOL. gotcha !

killer: alas. oh well i will take it with dignity. take me away boys

[us-ugay]

exactlyyyy they 100% just go back and forth between building up this tension and then the moment an opportunity opens up they hook up and then go oh god wait and end up in just a cycle of that for waaaaay too long. They’re kinda obsessed w each other in so many ways and eventually they figure it out bc I love them being in love but they’re both very proud, it defs takes time for one of them to finally cave.

I also looove the idea of it being a slow build up tho, like the bird comparison is perfect. And as they realize it it just gets worse bc they’re trying to compensate for their feelings and convince themselves otherwise but it’s not working and they’re MAD about it. Plus they don’t want anyone at work to even start to speculate bc it would be mortifying and also uncomfortable ESP if not reciprocated.

I guess I should start signing these lol tumblr doesn’t allow asks from side blogs bc they hate me in particular but my hetalia side blog that I literally never use bc idk is @aflred lol

wait is this the love is war anon or office anon gotta make sure im not being a dummy and mixing yall up 😭

man those two will actively be on a dinner date at the fanciest restaurant in town on a weekend w wine and the whole works and still will be like “bro its just a work lunch bro im just flexing on my work rival bro we’re planning things on a corporate ladder bro it aint anything like that 😤😤😤” and sarah in accounting will walk by and be like “wow arthur ive noticed you and alfred hanging out a lot more! how fun ☺️ do yall have much in common?” just being friendly and even if theyre mortified at the thought of being caught hooking up that still doesnt stop them from taking unnecessary dick measuring competition trips to each others desk and arthur is just so defensive and snaps back that “god no i dont even like him i just have to talk business w him everythings busy right now he chews loud anyways god”

and of course alfred hams it up on the (work appropriate) smack talk because while arthur cant gossip n bitch about him to others cuz hes the golden boy of the office, he sure as fuck can tease about how uptight arthur is so he lays it on real thick about how much arthur nags at him in emails n stuff

which of course does the opposite of what they want and only fuels the office chatter further so now behind their backs theyre known as the old married couple with how much they like to complain about one another lmfaoooo

anyways personally between them the cycle keeps speeding up and up to where its now the 3 weekend in a row where theyve hooked up and swore theyd never do it again and never bring it up and its post nut where theyre cuddled up ass naked in bed and finally shit snaps and arthurs like “..... ok so clearly we’re an item right? is there any point to making ourselves look stupid and pretending otherwise?” and alfreds like “😤😤😤 what the FUCK do you mean OF COURSE not- 😳🤨😬😒😔 (<- going thru all stages of grief) yeah ok fine”

but OF COURSE even when they agree to dating theyre still wanting to keep it casual and not bring it into work so they act 100% the same

Humans are Weird “Pet Peeves”

Don’t forget to comment with what your weirdest pet peeve is, and also a reminder that I am open to prompts if you have them, no need to ask permission :) 

Also a book update. Chapter 2 of the book has been with my beta readers for a few days, so I might be able to post it soon, so look forward to that.

Unlike other species, humans fall on a wide spectrum of temperaments from happy and laid back to angry and aggressive. As would only be logical, humans on either end of the spectrum can be easily annoyed or difficult to annoy, but there is one interesting fact about ALL humans laid back or aggressive; they have a list of small inconsequential things that will make them inordinately angry at the drop of a hat (Of course some of them may not be inconsequential, but I find that they tend to be). They call these pet peeves. You might assume that these would be large things relating to improper social behavior, or something similar, but most of them are just unfathomably unimportant. And, while a human isn’t likely to act out their anger on these, they will probably dislike you forever, or  if it doesn't involve you they will go out of their way to avoid the thing that annoys them.

I asked the humans this question about their pet peeves, and this is the ist that I received.

Commander Vir: Um, well that is a good question, I have a few of curse, who doesn’t. Um I hate it when my nails are cut short, and I have to touch some sort of grainy fabric, like velvet for instance. I mean I absolutely HATE velvet to begin with its like if you skinned Satan and made curtains out of him, and now you are going to make e touch it with the most sensitive part of my body…. *shivers* nope, no thank you. The only place velvet should exist is as red velvet cake. 

 Or, or…. *the human grows more agitated now* how about when people are CONSTANTLY late, and then you talk to them about it and they are all like *human changes to an annoyingly high voice* ‘sorry that's like, just how I am, the world is like, to focused on being late, well I have trouble waking up, and they just don’t understand me’ like BITCH SHUT UP and get to work ON TIME dear lord in heaven! You are WASTING MY TIME and the time of everyone else here by being LATE! *human clears throat awkwardly* um sorry….. I also hate it when people use like too much, I don’t know if you got that one….. I mean it is TOTALLY fine in simili, but when you just throw it in there. 

*he pauses to think* OH! One last thing, people who walk slowly in crowded hallways. You know sometimes I just have the urge to take a running start and shoulder check all those slow walking assholes into the floor and then go over them like a speed bump….. Is that an over reaction? 

Lieutenant Keita: Oh, do I have a list for you. Mouth noises, always mouth noises, I don’t care what it is, if I can hear you chewing, breathing, yawning, or coughing excessively, I just become filled with this…. This OVERWHELMING desire to hurt you. Like just close your DAMN mouth and stop eating like an ABSOLUTE COW! And those people who constantly chew gum, like no one is in greater need of a throat punch especially when you are having one of those bad days and you just hate everyone.

Speaking of especially, it's pronounced ESPECIALLY not EXPECIALLY, Like even grown ass adults have no idea what they are doing, and it just drives me insane just GTFO out of my life and get an education.

Also anyone who feels the need to say ‘basically’ in front of everything they say just needs to basically go and die! 

*humans eyes narrow* but of all the things I hate most of all…. irreguardless , that isn’t a fucking word. We have been doing this shit for 2000 years, and people are still saying this. Regardless means despite something, however if you add an ir in front of it, it's like a double negative which makes it NOT regardless you backwater sludge troll. 

*she takes a deep breath* I don’t know why this makes me so mad.

Corporal Ramirez: How about when my girlfriend says she isn’t hungry, but as soon as I get my meal she INSISTS on stealing my food. I mean seriously, if you wanted food you should have just ORDERED some food, these are my fries, get your own. I will pay for you to have your own, but you may not say that you don’t want any and then immediately take mine…. Unacceptable.

*the human rolls his eyes* Oh and don’t get my STARTED on astrology people. Listen guys it’s 4010 we KNOW that you aren't being a bitch because venus is in retrograde. Or when some backwards ass person stabs you in the back and is all ‘lol ssry its because im a candy-corn or a cheerio or a zebra. Like what the hell does that even mean! 

Or when they complain about things that can easily be fixed, or is totally their fault. Like when they are all cold and complain about it, and somehow, its impolite for YOU to say, well sorry you should have brought a coat, but I’m not giving you mine.

Sgt. Kae: Kids, whistling, people who have a special set of dishes that are for decoration and not for eating.

Systems officer Johnson: People who have mustaches, like seriously dude, people think your a pedo, everyone thinks your a pedo, or an 80s porn star, and not in a good way. Beard is totally fine, beard can even be hot, but the mustache is just creepy as hell. On that same line though, I absolutely hate it when guys with beards won’t shut up about their beards. It's like as soon as they see another guy, its beard wax or beard oil, or how anyone without a beard is just a little girl. Or when you tell them you don’t like beards and they take it as a personal offence to their honor and then tell you you just haven't been with a real man, and you would grow to like it. NO, no I will NOT!

People listening to stuff in pubic without headphones.

Or how about when people who sing take a song that you like and then add a ton of unnecessary runs to show off. Like thanks, you absolute trash bag, you went took my favorite song and ruined it. Like I will always love youuuuuuuoooooooahhhaooooahhaoooooooaaaaaahhhhooooo. It sounds like trash and it doesn't make you talented, so please go away.

Cadet Leu; Having something stuck in my teeth, people who leave the lights on, people who are indecisive, or when you are watching a movie and the dialogue is really quiet but the action scenes vibrate your insides at the same volume. 

I have found that it is completely plausible to develop a pet peeve if you spend long enough with humans. And you want to know what my pet peeve is…… do you really want to know?

How and why do you worship pagan gods? I've been looking into paganism lately and Im curious how ppl practice it.

This is a pretty hard question to answer in some quick and snappy way, also i feel as though i should answer this in detail and maybe explain abit of baseline witch beliefs if your considering paganism or to any of my followers who might!

Warning, this bitch long, YEET

So to be clear, paganism is not a religion. Its the act of a craft + religious beliefs attached to it and influenced by it. Even the baseline is different for ever individual.

Baseline, its based on the idea that anything and everything can give off some form of energy. Like an aura. Say the feelings you get when you touch a tree, look at the moon or put your hand in moving water. Witchcraft is the act of moving these energies towards a purpose. Like moving water energies and invoking water-related gods and goddesses to make it rain, invoking money/fortune spirits/deities blessings to increase your wealth, etc. Doctors making medicene or simply the act of cooking can be considered witchcraft if they invoke it to be so!

If you practice witchcraft, then youre a witch! Congratz! That legit all you need to be a witch lol. Witch is kind of used a general catch-all term, though kinda feminine implying. However ive seen ppl refer to male witches as wizards, enbys as witchs and female witchs as wickesses. Witchcraft isnt inherently tied to religion, you can be an atheist as well as a witch though its uncommon. Witches dont have dogma or a set moral code. ( real quick, dogma is a set of moral beliefs and traditions that come with being a follower of any religion/practice. An example of dogma would be the ten commandments for Christians or the Halakhah for jewish people. P.s dont qoute me on the name for the Jewish set of laws as im not jewish. Plz forgive me dan and leon if i got it wrong ;-;)

Paganism is the act of being a witch and having religious beliefs! This simply means you are an * insert religion* witch. You can be a jewish witch, a muslim witch, a Buddhist witch and so on! You've probably heard of the celtic based witch religion Wicca. Wicca has dogma and set path ( that i disagree with but if it floats ya boat, 👍).

I personally identify as theo-fluid Hellenistic-based witch/wizard. This means that i believe in multiple god/goddesses/beings of power from multiple religious systems but i mostly focus on greco-roman gods/goddesses. Theres dragon witches, kitchen witches and so on! However please keep your practices out of cultural appropriation boundaries. Dont smudge if you arent indigious american, buy dreamcatchers from actual natives, dont get your witch shit beyond incense, candles, crystals and basic tools from big corporations( fuck sephora and their white sage killing asses) and please stay tf away from witchblr beyond sigil blogs.

They will teach you wrong and make you feel invaild for either not putting your own magic up for peer review or not coming from a long line of witches. They also hate cursing for some reason. They are cowards.

Now that ive given the base info about paganism, ill answer your question in a bit more detail.

Everyone's practices for how they honor their gods/goddesses are differnet. Be it only spoken prayer, offerings kneeling infront of an alter, the time(s) of day they pray and so on! Its very individal.

Personally due to being disabled, i try to pray to my gods/goddesses at least once a week minimum and twice a day maximum. I perfer to kneel infront of my alter with small offerings but as long as i have my pendulum necklace on me, i can pray at any time any place if i truely need to. I personally perfer to pray one of two ways and i have 2 prayers i normally do. I have a day/morning prayer and a night/evening prayer, their contents i perfer to keep to myself for personal reasons. I perfer to either pray in english and again in french or ill sign it. Then ill record my feelings, who i felt connected with and how they felt and so on, in a prayer journal but not always for lack of spoons.

The why of it all is abit... Muddled. I always felt a draw to paganism so i never truely questioned it. I always felt the energies, interacted with spirits and felt spiritually close to the devine in some sence of the word. Ive always had a sixth sence about what was going to happen and so far, all my tarot and pendulum readings have been spot on. Maybe its a gift? ;^^ idk it can be stressful oftenly when you feel the general vibe of a place and can tell something horrible happend there or is there. Im currently kicking myself to cleanse my place as i keep waking up with new bruises that stick around for a day or 2 that i don remember getting. If that dosent work, hello doctor!

I hope i answered ur question effectively ^-^

P.s dont trust a witch who says their shit works better than modern medicene, it dont. Witches are pro-vax and psychology too.

Borderlands 3 final thoughts

disclaimers:

Fuck randy pitchford. I mean, obviously i feel like that goes without saying, yes I bought the game, i like the series and sometimes a bitch just wants to sink 70+ hours into a hyper-violent but ultimately goofy, non-threatening video game in a stressful time, sue me.

to that end, yes I played on easy. I also played solo. 

i play for fun and i dont fuck with build culture or w/e. i picked moze because i know her VA personally, and that was my only deciding factor.

I play on the ps4 so frankly i have no horse in the epic/steam debacle. I dont really care.

i didnt play bl1 but ive played the others.

spoilers. all the spoilers.

Anthony burch deserved better. I cant believe i have to see “at least im not anthony burch” in the year of our lord 2019 but its still happening out there. He deserved better, and this game is proof. maybe bl2 was “memey,” but it had a solid foundation and a great villain. TPS was also good, i think, honestly i only played it once and I dont remember it super well. Tales is the best in the franchise, and yes it counts, shut up. Burch’s absence is felt here. the story is weak, the villains are flat, and everything is written with the energy of a man who thinks everything that comes out of his mouth is fucking hysterical. like, im not even mad at “big dock energy” or the other stupid, already dated goofs, Im mad that every NPC was painful to listen to, or that rhys, arguably one of the most developed characters in the BL universe by virtue of the game he came from, was 90% mustache jokes. All these characters are like the versions that come out of fandom a year later, flanderized and already boiled down to their one token joke and repeated forever and eternity. You just met Lorelei and she seems cool, but man she REALLY NEEDS HER COFFEE AND IT IS HER ONLY DEFINING PERSONALITY TRAIT LOL!!!

Vaughn is The WORST, BRO

i dont think anyone really grows imo. Im particularly irritated by ava, who i very much want to like! but she has like three stock phrases she uses throughout the entire game, so after maya gets evaporated, you go talk to her and shes like “WOW this ship is cool, so much shit to steal!” like, you couldnt program her to sulk or not want to see anyone for a while? come on.

influencers as villains could have been really powerful if it had been introduced gradually, but mostly it was just obnoxious and too on the nose. troy and tyreen were very hollow. you get brief glimpses of humanity in them, but they’re so rare it almost feel like an accident. You get one(?) mention of their childhood before you finally stumble fully into the plot in the last few hours of the game. troy’s “betrayal” could be spotted a mile away despite it being hardly developed. I honestly dont even know if they loved each other or not? Was tyreen hurt by troy’s betrayal and subsequent demise? did troy look up to her and want to be her equal, or did he want out from under her shadow? i dont know. did i miss those echo logs? should the majority of the lore in a game be MISSABLE?

jack tracked well as a villain because you, over time, learned exactly how awful he was beyond “cocky corporate asshole who wants you dead” re: angel being his daughter. the twins are just....flatline obnoxious the whole way through.

sucks to be leda, apparently extremely badass but ultimately an afterthought who lives and dies offscreen only in recollections of the past.

sucks even worse to be fiona. i can tell you right now i wont be fucking with DLC unless it brings back fiona.

hammerlock saved this fucking game, he brings a certain dignity to the table that really helped level the tone after the rhys-katagawa stuff. Eden-6 was actually my favorite section of the game. loved hammerlock, loved jakobs, loved clay, and LOVED the jakobs estate. dunno why?? maybe because that level had me thinking “i could almost pretend im playing bioshock rn”

my GF absolutely hates the new claptrap. she’s right though. a claptrap that experiences emotions outside of “delusional exuberance” isnt actually claptrap

can my boy mordecai catch one single fucking break

is the vault hunter ever actually there? its really distracting how they’re never actually involved in cut scenes.

zer0 was too chatty. kind of kills the air of mystery.

gripes aside, i DID clock like 76 hours as moze, and i will probably continue to fuck around in it post game to clean up some extra stuff. might even start a zane of fl4k. the reviews promised it would be “more borderlands, nothing special” and thats what we got. it came at a time when i needed to remove myself from social media for a few weeks and lose myself in something mindless and violent, and it provided me with exactly that. its not elevated from BL2/TPS at all. the only improvement i can think of off the top of my head is being able to change quest objectives without entering a menu (thank god). it falls short in a series that always kind of had a low bar to begin with. disappointed but not surprised. i knew burch and eddings were both gone and that their absence would be felt. but i wanted to be gay and do crime anyway. so. you know. whatever. i got approximately what i paid for.
