star wars outlaws
#star wars outlaws#kay vess#nix#did a brief detour into this game it isn't bad! but certainly lacks in polish for core loops. tutorialization pipelines are ass also#performance - also ass. had to play quality on ps5 for it to have any clarity at all. but the open world is gorgeous#and it certainly nails the very narrow target of horse girl star wars fantasy (ripping across tatooine on a speeder with a little Guy)#nix is everything I love him. modern star wars rarely captivates me but they do know how to do lil guys real well#my photos#star wars#also-also. would be remiss not to mention. never played a game with unregulated scope creep this noticeable before. it's baffling#I KNOW people crunched on this it's in the walls in the floorboards it's everywhere. unmitigated hodge podge of mechanics and pillars#and those pillars are often unbalanced between each other. storytelling payloads are an issue too. there's pre-rendered in-engine cutscenes#real-time in-engine cutscenes. and digic-produced full CG cutscenes. and their placement and prioritization feels insane and inscrutable#like three different teams were working on the game at the same time and never in congress or coordination#it also suffers from the open world 4th and 5th priority narrative payload issues - many secondary and sometimes even primary questgiving#and expository dialogues are in-game zoomed camera lipsync exchanges. or flavor text#on the other hand - surprisingly deft mission design itself? side quests reward either cosmetics or actual unlockable deployable skills#it has fleeting genes of a metroidvania spread across a wide open world in that sense. but only fleeting. the rep system is a smokescreen#and progression in general has a very open and unsatisfying end to it. this game needed less scope and maybe no space stuff at all#the resulting resource allocation adjustment would truly make for a captivating open world adventure. as it stands it feels like#a product of overworked people misusing mismanaged budgets and managing to sprinkle some love into it regardless#games should never be good on the merit of their perceivable seasoning of overwork and passion. that really only bakes a sadness cake

Happy 12/1 ~
#inazuma eleven#GyareFure#EmiLadji#Typically I prefer to use January 12th as the catchall ship day for these pairs... But these two apply here bc name placement (?#I like the idea of adult!GyareFure sharing housework when Freddy's not on a secret mission 😭#And apologies if the 2nd image's editing is wonky#No matter how much I tried; it was impossible to put Émile over “my friend’s wounds” and look good in the process#At least the “you” has some space perfect for Pierre#But honestly tho.... This is a typical situation for them (?

I’ve literally never actually slowed down and played a lot of the side missions in deadly premonition…….. going around and snooping is so fun actually
#also the strategic placement of red trees across the map is foreshadowing#I actually get to see what becky is like as a character….. a little…..#found anna’s diary…… now i have to somehow sneak into ‘delivery man q’s trailer#none of this is necessary i just like it#not sure if i even knew you were allowed to let missions roll over to the next day#or the day after that#etcetera#i thought it was weird that you never really investigate anna’s friends in the main story

Headcanon - Command Mission Timeline Placement Explanation
Okay- so this has to be addressed since I think a lot of you are wondering why Command Mission is right smack in the middle of X4 and X5. At least anyone I've told but haven't properly explained.
A very important arc follows after too, but that’s not as important to talk about right now, plus talking about what that could be is now bEEG spoiler territory so you'll have to wait until I write it :3c. Which I will make a separate post for soon. Probably.
Talking briefly about the plot and what the interactions will consist of the best I can without spoiling much
Command Mission being in between X4 and X5, for those who don’t know, is for the Command Mission characters to just exist into the AU way earlier.
I think if I remember correctly, this was proven to be canon to this part of the timeline that Command Mission is around the same time Megaman Zero is supposed to take place. I sometimes can't get my facts straight, so if I'm wrong, do please let me know.
But it's at least been theorized that it's a different timeline to MMZero. And I like that for the canon games, but since this is Code Crimpphire we're talking about, they at least get a peaceful ending to the story. If not, it'll definitely take the Megaman Zero route. Which I will also briefly talk about in a separate post, and will write for the main storyline, but it's just the alternate route for the AU, not the definitive ending and transition to another story. But it's just an interesting take if my AU were to go there, so I'm excited to write for it~
Anyway, I'll quit stalling now, I swear lmao.
The reason why I made Command Mission between X4 and X5 was so the Command Mission Crew would be present earlier in the story, and have Spider live. I won't say how he does or when he comes in, revealing he is, but I'll need more time to figure that out.
That's it, that's literally the reason. Well, almost, but not quite. I also wanted to experiment with Spider being his own character and Redips possibly just taking that as an alias as that is Spider's name backwards. Maybe Redip's real name and alias would be a mystery- AND NO, IT WON'T BE SIGMA LOL HE GETS ENOUGH STARDOM AS IT IS XDDDD
Again, I'll have to think about what that'll be like in order for the story to at least take an interesting turn, personally. I'll ask friends around and see what they think about these things. Only they'll know lmao
NEW CHAPTER ON AO3!!

ok the fic im working on is raindrop going out and getting ear piercings. here was the original brainworm: a lot of peoples ghouls have pointed ears and its soooo cute and also many have piercings which are especially cute on pointy ears, however (and this should surprise no one at all) whats the logistics of that? and then it spiraled out of control and became ice cream and ibuprofen
#beyond that i dont really remember how those ideas came together i think im just connecting everything recently#anyway i did go out and get a new piercing yesterday because it had been a while and why not#it was interesting it was the first time i had been to this place because its the first one i got since i finished grad school & moved#and a lot of the details were different#so now i guess i have a greater variety of experiences to draw from but i feel like most of the details are still going to come from the#first cartilage piercing i got which remains my ground truth#but also this time i didnt see a whole lot of what he was doing because he made me lie down so i genuinely dont know some of what happened#and he didnt make me look at the placement or anything i dont even think he marked it at all#also i was trying really hard to be social which compromised my information gathering mission somewhat just a little#its ok i got the memory refresh i wanted and i already had enough data to begin with so i can only learn more#right after he did it he said “you took that really well” which now im like 🤨 filing that away for reference

Astrology-Based Soulmate Manifestation: Discovering Your Ideal Partner Traits
Key Takeaways
Astrology can help identify personality traits that align with your ideal partner.
Understanding your zodiac sign's influence can improve relationship compatibility.
Fire signs like Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius seek passionate and adventurous partners.
Earth signs, including Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, value stability and practicality in relationships.
Astrological tools like natal charts and synastry can guide soulmate discovery.
The Power of Astrology in Finding Your Soulmate
Astrology has long been a guiding light for those seeking to understand themselves and their relationships better. By exploring the celestial influences on our personalities and behaviors, we can uncover insights that lead us to our ideal partners. Astrology provides a roadmap for navigating the complexities of human connection, helping us align with those who complement our true selves.
Role of Astrology in Relationships
Astrology plays a pivotal role in relationships by offering a framework to understand compatibility and dynamics. When we delve into astrological charts, we unlock a treasure trove of information about how we interact with others. This knowledge can be transformative, especially when it comes to finding a soulmate. By recognizing the strengths and challenges of each zodiac sign, we can approach relationships with greater awareness and empathy.
Most importantly, astrology encourages self-reflection. It prompts us to look inward and identify our desires and needs in a partner. This self-awareness is crucial for forming meaningful connections that stand the test of time.
Zodiac Influence on Personality and Compatibility
Each zodiac sign carries distinct characteristics that influence personality and compatibility. Understanding these traits can help us identify the types of individuals we naturally resonate with. For example, a fiery Aries might be drawn to someone who matches their enthusiasm and zest for life, while a grounded Capricorn may seek a partner who offers stability and practicality.
Besides that, the elements—fire, earth, air, and water—play a significant role in determining compatibility. Fire signs are known for their passion and energy, earth signs for their reliability and pragmatism, air signs for their intellect and communication skills, and water signs for their emotional depth and intuition.
How Astrology Guides Soulmate Discovery
Astrology guides us in discovering our soulmate by highlighting key traits and compatibilities. By analyzing our natal charts, we can identify the planetary influences that shape our romantic inclinations. Venus and Mars, for example, are crucial indicators of love and attraction in astrology. Their positions in our charts reveal how we express affection and what we find appealing in others.
Moreover, synastry—comparing two individuals' charts—offers insights into how their energies interact. This technique is invaluable for assessing the potential for harmony and understanding in a relationship. By considering these astrological factors, we can make informed decisions about our romantic pursuits and increase the likelihood of finding a truly compatible partner.
Key Traits of An Ideal Partner Based on Zodiac Signs
Each zodiac sign has unique qualities that define what they seek in a partner. By understanding these traits, we can better align ourselves with individuals who complement our astrological profile.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire signs are known for their passion, enthusiasm, and adventurous spirit. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius thrive on excitement and are drawn to partners who share their zest for life. They value independence and are attracted to individuals who can keep up with their dynamic energy.
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is a natural leader who seeks a partner that can match their ambition and drive. Leo, ruled by the sun, craves attention and adoration, making them drawn to partners who appreciate their charisma and creativity. Sagittarius, the wanderer of the zodiac, desires freedom and exploration, preferring partners who are open-minded and willing to embark on new adventures.
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water signs are deeply emotional and intuitive, often seeking profound connections with their partners. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are known for their sensitivity and empathy, making them naturally attuned to the needs and feelings of others. They value emotional security and are drawn to partners who can provide a safe and nurturing environment.
Cancer, ruled by the moon, is the nurturer of the zodiac. They seek partners who can appreciate their caring nature and offer the same level of devotion in return. Scorpio, with its intense and passionate nature, desires deep emotional bonds and is attracted to partners who are equally committed and loyal. Pisces, the dreamer, looks for a soulmate who can understand their creative and spiritual inclinations, providing a compassionate and supportive presence.
Cancer: Values emotional security and nurturing.
Scorpio: Seeks deep emotional bonds and loyalty.
Pisces: Desires a compassionate and understanding partner.
Water signs thrive in relationships where emotional depth and mutual understanding are prioritized. They are highly intuitive and can often sense the needs of their partners, making them ideal companions for those seeking meaningful and lasting connections.
To attract a water sign, it's essential to be open and honest about your feelings. They appreciate authenticity and are drawn to individuals who can express their emotions freely. Being supportive and empathetic will help you build a strong and lasting bond with a water sign partner.
Steps to Manifest Your Soulmate Using Astrology
Manifesting your soulmate using astrology involves aligning your intentions with the cosmic energies that influence your love life. By understanding your astrological profile and clarifying your desires, you can attract a partner who resonates with your true self.
The journey to manifesting your soulmate begins with self-awareness and intention setting. By focusing on what you truly desire in a partner, you can align yourself with the universe's energies and draw your ideal match into your life.
Identifying Your Astrological Profile
The first step in manifesting your soulmate is understanding your astrological profile. This involves analyzing your natal chart to identify key influences on your personality and relationship preferences. Your sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign all play significant roles in shaping your romantic inclinations.
By exploring these aspects of your chart, you can gain insights into your natural tendencies and what you seek in a partner. For example, your Venus sign reveals how you express love and what you find attractive, while your Mars sign indicates your desires and how you pursue relationships.
Clarifying Desired Traits in a Partner
Once you understand your astrological profile, it's essential to clarify the traits you desire in a partner. Consider the qualities that align with your values and complement your personality. This clarity will help you focus your energy on attracting the right person.
Aligning Yourself for Attraction
To manifest your soulmate, you must align yourself with the energy you wish to attract. This involves cultivating the qualities you seek in a partner within yourself. By embodying these traits, you become a magnet for individuals who resonate with your energy.
Additionally, maintaining a positive and open mindset is crucial for attraction. Let go of past negative experiences and focus on the possibilities of the future. Trust that the universe will guide you to your ideal match when the time is right.
Affirmations and Visualization Techniques
Affirmations and visualization techniques are powerful tools for manifesting your soulmate. By repeating positive affirmations, you reinforce your intentions and align your subconscious mind with your desires. Visualization allows you to create a mental image of your ideal relationship, making it more tangible and attainable. For more insights, explore how to manifest your soulmate based on your zodiac.
Practice these techniques regularly to strengthen your manifestation efforts. Visualize yourself in a loving and fulfilling relationship, and feel the emotions associated with this experience. The more vividly you imagine your desired outcome, the more likely it is to manifest in your reality.
Astrological Tools to Enhance Soulmate Manifestation
Several astrological tools can aid in the process of soulmate manifestation. By utilizing these resources, you can gain deeper insights into your relationships and enhance your ability to attract your ideal partner.
Natal Chart Analysis
Your natal chart is a map of the sky at the moment of your birth, providing valuable information about your personality and relationship dynamics. By analyzing your chart, you can identify key influences that shape your love life and guide your soulmate search.

Working with an experienced astrologer can provide further insights and guidance. They can help you interpret your chart and identify patterns that influence your romantic experiences.
Transits and Synastry

Synastry involves comparing two individuals' charts to assess compatibility and relationship dynamics. By examining how your planets interact with those of a potential partner, you can gain insights into the strengths and challenges of the relationship.
Role of Venus and Mars in Love
Venus and Mars are two of the most influential planets in astrology when it comes to love and relationships. Venus governs how we express love and what we find beautiful and desirable. It reflects our romantic inclinations and preferences in a partner. For instance, if Venus is in Libra in your chart, you might be drawn to harmonious and balanced relationships. To explore more about finding your ideal partner based on your zodiac sign, check out this insightful guide.
Mars, on the other hand, represents our desires and the way we pursue love. It signifies passion, drive, and the actions we take in relationships. A person with Mars in Aries may approach love with enthusiasm and directness, preferring a partner who matches their energy. Understanding the placements of Venus and Mars in your chart can provide valuable insights into your romantic dynamics and compatibility.
Final Words on Astrology and Soulmate Connection
Astrology offers a profound way to understand ourselves and our relationships. By exploring the celestial influences on our personalities, we can uncover insights that lead us to our ideal partners. While astrology is not a guarantee of finding a soulmate, it provides valuable guidance that can enhance our journey toward love.
Ultimately, the journey to finding a soulmate is one of self-discovery and growth. By embracing the wisdom of astrology, we can align ourselves with the energies that attract fulfilling and meaningful connections. Trust in the process, remain open to possibilities, and let the stars guide you on your path to love.
The Journey of Self-Discovery and Partnership
The journey to finding a soulmate is deeply intertwined with the journey of self-discovery. As we explore our astrological profiles, we gain insights into our desires, strengths, and areas for growth. This self-awareness allows us to approach relationships with authenticity and confidence, paving the way for meaningful connections.
Partnerships rooted in mutual understanding and respect are the cornerstone of lasting love. By embracing our unique qualities and those of our partners, we create a foundation for a harmonious and fulfilling relationship. Let astrology be your guide as you navigate the complexities of love and companionship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Astrology can be a powerful tool for understanding love and relationships, but it often raises questions for those new to its concepts. Here are some common questions and answers to help clarify the role of astrology in soulmate manifestation.
What is a natal chart and how does it help in finding a soulmate?
A natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is a map of the sky at the moment of your birth. It provides a detailed snapshot of the positions of planets and their influence on your personality and life path. By analyzing your natal chart, you can gain insights into your romantic inclinations and compatibility with potential partners.
The natal chart highlights the positions of key planets like Venus and Mars, which govern love and attraction. Understanding these placements can help you identify the qualities you seek in a partner and how you express love. This self-awareness is crucial for attracting a soulmate who resonates with your true self.
Can astrology predict the timing of meeting a soulmate?
While astrology can provide insights into potential periods of romantic opportunity, it does not offer precise predictions about the timing of meeting a soulmate. Transits and progressions can indicate favorable times for love and connection, but free will and personal choices also play significant roles in shaping our experiences.
How accurate is astrology in determining soulmate compatibility?
Astrology offers valuable insights into compatibility by analyzing the interactions between two individuals' charts. Synastry, the study of these interactions, can reveal strengths and challenges in a relationship. However, it's important to remember that astrology is just one tool among many. Personal growth, communication, and shared values are equally important factors in determining compatibility.
Example: A couple with strong Venus-Mars synastry may experience intense attraction and passion, but without mutual respect and understanding, the relationship may face challenges. Astrology can highlight potential areas of harmony and conflict, guiding partners toward deeper connection.
Ultimately, the accuracy of astrology in determining soulmate compatibility depends on how well it is integrated with personal experiences and insights.
What role do rising signs play in relationships?
The rising sign, also known as the ascendant, represents the persona you present to the world. It influences first impressions and how you interact with others. In relationships, the rising sign can affect how you approach love and partnership, shaping the dynamics of your interactions.
Are there other ways to find a soulmate besides astrology?
Yes, there are many ways to find a soulmate beyond astrology. Personal growth, self-awareness, and open communication are key components of building meaningful connections. Engaging in activities that align with your interests and values can also lead you to like-minded individuals.
While astrology provides valuable insights, it's important to remain open to various avenues for finding love. Trust your intuition, embrace new experiences, and allow the universe to guide you toward your ideal partner.
In conclusion, astrology is a powerful tool for understanding love and relationships. By exploring the celestial influences on our personalities, we can gain insights that lead us to our ideal partners. Embrace the wisdom of astrology, and let it guide you on your journey to finding a soulmate.

The first time Dick comes to one of Jason's safehouses to patch himself up after the mission, he cannot find the medical kit no matter how hard he looks. He almost wonders if Jason has one at all. When he questions it, Jason motions to the bottom cabinet of the kitchen, where he instantly finds one; a few others are, he says, are in the bottom drawer near the bed. Dick groans, gripping his side as he crouches to pick it up.
"Little Wing, your placement sense sucks," he tells him, no heat, just silent amusement.
Jason shrugs.
He remembers his attempts to reach for the top shelves with his throat being cut, how he didn't have much power and was mostly crawling around apartment, helpless. How he was sewing himself back laying on the floor, barely propped against the wall, his hands traitorously shaking.
Or a few other times, when he was left alone with no help after fights with Bruce, and grovelling was easier, and thus it was much quicker and helpful to have these kits stacked as low as possible.
He doesn't say that aloud. He doesn't really want to make Dick for no reason.
And so, they never bring that up again, except for when Dick wants to tease him.

soap who's got a little crush in the intel office
Soap, who isn't processing a word out of your mouth as you explain the complicated geometrics of this base, how normal detonations wouldn't would because of something longwinded and boring but goddamn if you didn't have the cutest face he'd seen in a while.
Soap, who sheepishly had to walk his distracted ass back to your office to ask if you could please jus' explain it one more time, i wasnae payin' any attention last time, muttering an excuse about a migraine. You didn't say anything about the demolitions expert being distracted at a demolitions debrief, welcoming him in with an eye roll.
Soap, who'd get distracted every meeting going forward if you could pull him into your office, sit so close he could smell your shampoo, and explain to him patiently the objective and geography and the coordinates and hell, you could explain year 8 geometry and he'd hang on every word. Your office was nice, cool and cozy. He didn't like group debriefs; he needed to stand up and pace or fidget with his velcro vest, or ask too many questions than Price thought appropriate.
But you used better explanations, sat through his often stuttered questions, and let him play with the pencil holder on your desk while you spoke.
Ghost had taken to finding him there in moments of downtime, listening doe-eyed to you murmur about a mission that didn't even belong to them. He snorted. Soap darted to his feet, stumbling over the rug.
"I...I was..." he gestured vaguely, neck purpling with embarrassment. You swiveled in your chair, grinning.
"Hi, Lieutenant," you greeted Simon, waving pleasantly. "Johnny just wanted some alone time."
Soap gaped at you because that's how you decided to phrase that?? In front of his LT?
Not even addressing the elephant in Simon's mind - Johnny. You called him Johnny.
"Price needs ya," Ghost said gruffly, disappearing down the hall.
Your cackling echoed in Soap's ears as he followed grumpily. "Sweet boy," you murmured, going back to your notes.
It was another late night of Soap's pestering. Please, bonnie, jus' need ye to explain tha' again, my ears, ye ken, all screwy from the bombs n' shite. You raised your eyebrows, surprised that, again, a detonations expert needed review on C4 placement for a relatively low-stakes assignment.
He was sitting too close again, knee brushing yours. The low lamplight shone in his dilated eyes, baby blues wide with adoration. The overt affection in his gaze made your cheeks burn a bit, until you noticed the circles growing beneath them. Soap was exhausted; the lines of his stout shoulders sagging into your cushy armchair.
"Johnny," you said when he asked another frantically inane question. He clamped his mouth shut at your tone, hands yanking on the pockets of his pants. You chose your words carefully.
"Are you sleeping?"
He blinked. "Eh? I'm- what sorta question- Yeah. Course," he blustered, puffing up a bit.
Your chin tilted. "Y'sure?"
Johnny nodded, but you saw the falter in his gaze. The bags were prominent now. Deep purple beneath his dark lashes.
"Why don't you head off to bed," you said quietly. "It's late. You've got early rollout tomorrow." You handed him a manila folder of notes to review and a tired smile. He stood quietly, head heavy with a sorrow you hadn't seen before.
You didn't see him for a while after that. It made you a lot more productive without the nagging or constant whassat? whassat? whassat? aimed at every piece of intel you had spread on your desk. But the armchair looked lonely, and you missed his cheeky teasing.
A knock startled you from your pondering. Eyes flicking to the clock - 1:00 - you frowned, opening the door a sliver.
A mountain of grime and sweat pulled you into a hug, muffling your surprised squawk.
"Johnny?"
He sluggishly dragged you into your office, finally releasing you when the door was shut. You struggled to regain your footing. Head reeling, you scaned him for injury. But...he was in pajamas?
"What..."
"Went...running," he said hoarsely. You nodded slowly, piecing apart the lie. Barefoot, dirty hems. Night terrors, probably, coupled with an unlocked door. It made your heart ache.
"Sit...sit down, Soap," you whispered, coaxing him by the shoulder. A meaty hand clapped over yours and were alarmed by the intensity in his bloodshot eyes. Too crystal to be drunk but too crazed to be...here.
"Sit, Johnny," you said, firmer. He sank shakily, keeping his eyes on yours.
"Nay...nay, nay, I can explain, I jus'...had a question a-about tha last thingie you were...you were..." he trailed off, seeing the pity in your face. "Don' look a' me like that," he muttered.
A moment as your hand shifted down his arm, fingers still laced with his. A gentle motion, petting the gooseflesh rippling over his musculature.
"You wanna hear somethin' funny?"
His eyes shot to yours, pleading. Johnny scooted closer, almost falling into your lap. A reminiscent smile flitted over your face as you continued to stroke him.
"A few recruits, while you were gone, got ahold of one of those mop buckets. Big yellow one. Well," you cleared your throat, muffling a giggle. "Well, one of the pipes burst upstairs, and the whole hallway flooded. So one of them got the great idea to make a slip'n'slide..."
You giggled at your retelling, quietly imitating the characters in your little tale. Johnny had edged closer, head inches from your chest. Not pausing your whispering, you pulled him to you. He draped over you, absolutely massive over your tiny desk chair.
It was unbelievably uncomfortable. Your legs were numb in two seconds.
The story was over, but Soap squeezed your waist the moment you had the thought of moving. "Grabbin' a pencil," you soothed, patting his sweaty head. His heart was pattering slower now, breaths coming easier.
"Can...can ye explain it again?" His forearms tightened a bit, relaxing when you stroked his hair.
You grinned. "Yeah, Johnny. Sure I can."
not as good as i wanted it but it was cute in my head.

This is a semi spinoff of this post, but really its own thought.
When a job pays less than a living wage, it generally attracts one of two types of employees:
Desperate people (usually poor and/or otherwise marginalized or with barriers to employment), who will take any job, no matter how bad, because they need the money, or
Independently wealthy people (usually well-off retirees, students being supported by their families, or women with well-off husbands*), who don't care about the pay scale because they don't need the money anyway.**
And sometimes, organizations will intentionally keep a job low-paying or non-paying with the deliberate intent of narrowing their pool to that second category.
People sometimes bring this up when discussing the salaries of elected officials -- yes, most politicians are paid more than most "regular people," but they're not paid enough to sustain the expensive lifestyle politicians have to maintain, and that's on purpose. It's not an oversight, and it's not primarily about cost-cutting. It's a deliberate barrier to ensure that only rich people can run for office.
The same is true, albeit to less severe effect, of unpaid internships -- the benefit of "hiring" an unpaid intern isn't (just) that you don't have to pay them; it's also that you can ensure that all your workers are rich, or at least middle-class.
When nonprofits brag about how little of their budget goes to "overhead" and "salaries", as if those terms were synonymous with "waste," what they're really saying is "All our employees are financially comfortable enough that they don't worry about being underpaid. Our staff has no socioeconomic diversity, and probably very little ethnic or cultural diversity." ***
This isn't a secret. I'm not blowing anything wide open here. People very openly admit that they think underpaid workers are better, because they're "not in it for the money." This is frequently cited as a reason, for example, that private school teachers are "better" than public school teachers -- they're paid less, so they're not "in it for the money," so they must be working out of the goodness of their hearts. I keep seeing these cursed ads for a pet-sitting service where the petsitters aren't paid, which is a selling point, because they're "not in it for the money."
"In it for the money" is the worst thing a worker could be, of course. Heaven forbid they be so greedy and entitled and selfish as to expect their full-time labor to enable them to pay for basic living expenses. I get this all the time as a public library worker, when I point out how underfunded and underpaid we are. "But... you're not doing it for the money, right?" And I'm supposed to laugh and say "No, no, I'd do it for free, of course!"
Except, see, I have these pesky little human needs, like food. And I can't get a cart full of groceries and explain to the cashier that I don't have any money, but I have just so much job satisfaction!
And it's gendered, of course it's gendered. The subtext of "But you're not doing it for the money, of course" is "But how much pin money do you really need, little lady? Doesn't your husband give you a proper allowance?"
Conceptually, it's just an extension of the upper-class cultural norm that "polite" (rich) people "don't talk about money" (because if you have to think about how much money you have or how much you need, you're insufficiently rich).
*Gendered language very much intentional.
**Disabled people are more likely to be in the first category (most disabled people are poor, and being disabled is expensive), but are usually talked about as if they're in the second category. We're told that disabled people sorting clothing for $1.03 an hour are "So happy to be here" and "Just want to be included," and it's not like they need the money, since, as we all know, disability benefits are ample and generous [heavy sarcasm].
***Unless, of course, they're a nonprofit whose "mission" involves "job placement," in which case what they're saying is "We exploit the poor and desperate people we're purporting to help." Either way, "We pay our employees like crap" is nothing to brag about.

☆bf!bucky barnes x f!reader fluff and smut!☆

content: super short! mainly fluff and some smut at the end!! kissing, fluff, bucky in love, bucky eats pussy, fingering, grinding, both of them are pent up, bucky loves his girlfriend.
a/n: wasn’t sure if you wanted fluff or smut so i did both! first time writing in a year sorry if i’m a little rusty.
masterlist
its only been three weeks since bucky left for his mission with sam. yet you felt like its been years.
you two spoke on the phone a few times, he spends any free time he has talking to you. all you know is that it's important and probably very dangerous.
you lay on your soft couch in your apartment, watching a random show you had been binging. the ambient lighting setting a more comfortable tone over the room.
your eyes can barely stay open, letting them close for a few seconds before forcing them back open, trying your hardest not to fall asleep. it was late, almost 1am, but you were determined to finish this episode before falling asleep.
suddenly, your phone lights up from beside you, forcing you to snap out of your trance on the show.
you reach to flip the screen, but before you could even pick it up there was a familiar knock at your door. you perk up from your comfortable spot on the couch, pausing the show and quickly walking over to the front door.
you open the door, and there he stood. his hair a little bit longer than when he had left. in his black compression shirt and black tactical pants. he came straight from the plane.
bucky stands in the hallway, a weary expression on his face. he offers a small smile as you open the door, bags under his eyes, looking exhausted.
for a moment, he stands there, simply taking you in. he didn't realise how much he missed you until this very moment.
“hey.” he lights up seeing your suprised expression.
“hi” you respond, not wanting to waste another second apart.
you both smile, he immediately wraps his arms around you, bringing you into a crushing hug as he closes the door behind you guys.
he nuzzles his head into your neck, breathing you in. “missed you.”
your arms quickly find placement around his shoulders. he notices the fact that you’re wearing a pair of his boxers and his t shirt that magically went missing a few months into your relationship.
as you wrap yourself around him, you notice he still smells the same, the second you reckognize his familiar scent, your eyes shut. the warmth of his arms embracing you making you greatful for having a boyfriend in the winter.
you pull back and he brings his hand up to cup your face, his thumb gently running over your cheek.
“god, you have no idea how much i’ve missed you.” he leans in and kisses you. you’d never get bored of the way his lips felt against yours, even after over two years of being together.
his hands grip your waist, pulling you closer to him. you smile into the kiss. “i can tell” you giggle.
he looks around at the familiar setting of your apartment. looking to the living room and taking notice of the paused tv show and snacks on the coffee table.
“you were just soo bored without me, huh?” he smirks, making you roll your eyes.
“no…” you playfully slap his real arm, noticing the way he slightly winces as if he was in pain.
“bucky…” you look up at him.
“yes…” he responds, avoiding eye contact.
“did you not go to medical after the mission?” you ask, feeling his arm.
“i-no” he lowers his head in defeat. you groan.
“i told you to stop doing that after last time you showed up borderline bleeding out, buck!” you immediately start inspecting him, making sure there’s nothing else wrong.
“i know, but i promise i’m okay.” he assures you, gently holding onto your hands and kissing your cheek. you held back a giggle at the tickle of his beard against your skin.
“i couldn’t wait to see you, medics would have taken over an hour to check me out-“
“you couldn’t wait an hour?” you ask, seriously. “what if there was something wrong?” you frown.
he shakes his head, his blue eyes searching your own.
“no, baby, i couldn’t.”
you weren’t really mad at him, you were just worried, rightfully so.
you lift yourself up on your tiptoes and kiss him again, your hands moving to behind his neck as he grasps your waist.
he gratefully accepts the kiss, your lips moving at a perfect pace. just when he pulled you flush against him, his grip tightening on your waist, you pulled away from him. both of you heavily breathing from the make out sesh.
“but you have to at least let me see your injuries. no arguing.” you turn around to walk to the bathroom, him groaning as he follows behind you like a lost puppy.
he knows not to say no to you at this point in your relationship.
you flip up the switch to the obnoxiously bright light of your bathroom, bucky sitting on the edge of the bathtub.
“take your shirt off.” you tell him, hiding a smile. you lightly tug on his shirt that fit his form way too well. he smiles back.
“whatever you say, beautiful.” he grabs the collar of his shirt, pulling it off over his head.
your eyes are immediately drawn to the decent sized cut on his arm, and the gnarly bruise on his rib. you frown, finger hovering over the bruise.
“buck…”
“it doesn’t hurt.” he grabs your hand that hovered over his rib, bringing it to his mouth and kissing it.
you look at him, unsure. he notices.
“i promise.” he reassures you.
you lean down, giving him a peck on his cheek.
“okay, you’re letting me clean the cut at least. i don’t want anymore blood on my carpet, please.” you fake pout, reaching under the bathroom sink for the bandages and anti bacterial spray.
“i apologized. purposely for that.” bucky says, watching you bend over to grab the supplies, eyeing you as you walk back over to him.
“that you did.” you giggle, spraying his cut with the aid spray, thankfully it was the one that didn’t burn. not like it would have hurt him anyways.
you take a second to stare at your hot super soldier boyfriend's arms for a moment.
not a second went by when he was gone that you didn't miss them.
and him too of course.
“and i made it up to you, remember?” he smirks, giving you a knowing look. you roll your eyes, ignoring his comment. he speaks again.
“you came four times that ni-“
“okay all done here!” you cut him off, taking the sticky part off of the large bandage, carefully but quickly placing it over his wound, thankful it wasn’t bleeding.
he chuckles at how shy you get when talking about sex, you were so cute.
“c’mere.” he whispers, standing up. you oblige, wrapping your arms lazily around his neck. his gaze goes from your eyes to your lips to your neck.
you watch his hungry stare, not missing the way you feel yourself getting more turned on by the second. the tired and rugged look on bucky making him somehow seem even more attractive.
your boyfriend was practically obsessed with you. his pure admiration and devotion to you almost shine through his eyes whenever he looks at you.
“bucky…” you practically whine. his eyes snap back to yours.
“yeah, baby?
“kiss m-“ before you could even finish your words, his lips were on yours. you missed being this close to him, but you both needed more.
his hands go lower on your back, pulling you against him so he could feel more of you. you gasp into his mouth when he unconsciously grinds against you.
“bed.” you say in between kisses. he smirks, picking you up bridal style with complete ease and walking to your bedroom. “you’re bossy today.” he jokes.
“i just missed you.” you say as he gently places you down at the edge of your mattress, legs spread as he stands between them.
he gives you another kiss.
“lay back, gorgeous.” he commands, you scoot back and do as he says, watching his shirtless form as he crawls up to you. you do the favor of taking your (well, his) own shirt off, leaving your upper half exposed.
you are about to complain to him to take off his pants, but before you can protest, his mouth is on yours again. the both of you having had no form of relief for almost a month making you both more needy and impatient.
he grinds himself against your clothed clit, the thin fabric of (his) boxers you were wearing making the feeling of his clothed erection even more intense.
you lightly moan into his mouth at the feeling of his hips continuously rocking into yours, feeling yourself getting more wet.
“bucky, need it.” you whine, not wanting to wait any longer. he shakes his head.
“not yet, baby. it’s been weeks, i gotta prep you.” he gives you another kiss before moving his path downward. down your neck, sucking small marks. down your now bare chest, not forgetting to give your breasts attention before moving down to your naval.
“you look good in these.” bucky compliments, two fingers tapping on your clothed clit, making you hiss. “bucky!” you pout.
he doesn’t hesitate to give you what you want, leaning his head down and sucking your clit through the boxers, making you moan and buck up into the feeling.
one of your own hands squeezes your breast as the other is combed in his hair, the feeling of him tasting you and drenching the fabric between you two making your head spin.
finally, he taps your hips, you lift them up as he quickly takes the shorts off your body. before you can even look down you feel his tounge directly on your soaking pussy.
it had been so long since you felt his touch, the scruff of his facial hair tickling your inner thighs as he eats you out. he goes from sucking your clit to licking your entire pussy, wanting to feel every single part of you.
you writhe around, trying to hold back your moans as his grip on your body tightens. he takes his hand and inserts one of his metal fingers into your needy hole, making you gasp.
“fuck!” you cry out as he hammers his finger into you, already being overwhelmed from all the stimulation.
bucky soon adding a second finger, making you lose control, grinding yourself into him. the contrast of his cold fingers in your warm cunt felt even better. still eating you out like a mad man as he does all of this.
he loves watching you like this. the love of his life feeling so fucking good, all because of him.
you squirm as a familiar feeling starts to rise in your lower stomach.
“bucky-ah! don’t stop!” you cry as your first orgasm quickly approaches. he doesn’t stop his actions, watching as you desperately whine out for release.
“m’gonna cum, baby.” you grab onto his arm, squeezing as you buck into his mouth, his fingers slamming in and out of your weeping cunt as you cum all over his hand, using your free hand to (poorly) cover your mouth from all the moans.
you’ve already had one complaint from the neighbors, not like bucky cared.
you shake from your long awaited orgasm, whining as you try to push bucky’s head from your cunt. with one last kiss to your pussy, he pulls away, sitting up on his knees to look at your disheveled form.
suddenly, the tiredness from before along with a combination of lack of sleep and the insane orgasm from your boyfriend hits you all at once. you close your eyes for a few seconds, recollecting yourself.
you lazily hold your arms up to him, wanting to be held. he smiles, immediately laying on his side to hold you.
this is your favorite part of being intimate with bucky, the way you hold eachother after.
he stares at you as you bring your thumb up to trace his jawline, making your way to run your fingers through the back of his dark hair.
he leans in and kisses your forehead, which is what he usually does right before you two fall asleep.
“i thought you wanted to-“
“no, no, we don’t have to. it’s 1am and i know you’re tired, baby.” he assures.
you frown.
“but-“
“we’ll save it for tomorrow, trust me.” he leans in to capture your lips in yet another kiss, this one softest.
you smile, struggling to keep your eyes open.
“water?” he asks, about to get out of bed until you stop him.
“no, just stay with me, please.” you don’t even bother opening your eyes, just grabbing onto his arm.
he chuckles, grabbing the blanket from the end of the bed and wrapping it comfortably over the both of you. he sighs as he finally settles into your bed, kissing your forhead once more, arms wrapped comfortably around your figure.
he whispers your name. you peak open your eyes to look at bucky. it’s like he gets even more attractive the more you look at him.
the sound of his voice making your heart squeeze and your stomach all warm.
“i love you.”
you tuck yourself even closer into him, kissing his jaw.
“i love you too, buck.”
