#they hardly ever show up. i just think theyre neat

dailies 5.10.24

mini mermay post of the lowry sibs fishy designs :-) mainly bc i dont think theyll get a full piece of their own (or if they do, itll be all together and hard to see)

i wanted to put them all in the sygnathid family for cohesion but i changed up the species to suit them

[nonbinaryphantom]

i like thinking about character design and picking it apart bc i do think the most important thing when it comes to character design is informing the character in a visual way. like uh maddie and jack

they mix up the traditional american suburban family with an addition of wacky ghostness. like if you ignore their suits they dont look that odd. they look pretty neat too.

i love how their colors complement each other. orange being more loud and boisterous while blue is more understated and subtle. jack is very open with his thoughts he talks about blathering about ghosts like. word for word. while maddie tends to be the more grounded one out of the two.

also i think its really fun how we never see them in ordinary clothes even on their wedding cake topper they still nod to their ghost hunterness with the jumpsuit and goggles

its just fun to see bc it really shows how neurodivergent they are much they care about their work. its a reflection of passion! its a part of who they are, practically a second skin its something that unites them as a pair. it makes them stick out from the crowd and being unashamed about their eccentricity. jumpsuits are also something that connects them with their family

danny is the only other fenton with a jumpsuit consistently. jazz i dont believe has ever been shown to have her own while danny has a very plain one its black and white which are very neutral colors but theyre also a blank slate which given that danny is a teenager, kinda helps that idea. also it connects him with his parents bc he’s the one that takes after them in the ghost hunting business even without them realizing it. which makes jazz not having one something that separates her from them bc she craves normalcy. she wears maddie’s jumpsuit. once in maternal instincts but thats the most its shown. she’s not a ghost hunter, hardly a combatant either and she seems like an oddity out of them which says a lot about her relation to the family as well

i was meant to just talk about jack and maddie but i lost the plot. sorry.

[derpy-thebdayclown]

Haha guess who's getting back into camp camp? Me! Anyways your ocs are pretty neat, and I'd like to know more about Fish and Jingle. Did Jingle kill someone?

HI HELLO thank you!! :) i love rambling about them

as for jingle, he follows a cannibal clown trope- its his main thing! he totally gives everyone the creeps and nobody trusts him one bit, but they don’t quite realize he’s actually a serious threat for majority of the summer (they chop their feelings down to paranoia and ‘We Are Stereotyping This Poor Clown Boy’) until things are much more apparent in his storyline. he has a main gag of being the reason that scotty isnt at camp anymore, there was simply only room for ONE ginger clown in this establishment…

since absolutely no one trusts him though (except one specific boy in a vampire getup), he has a hard time luring others! i like to think the main trio try and do an investigation on him in ~S4 and it goes really south as an episode idea though :)

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, FISH— fish (they/he/she) is in snorkeling camp, they’re definitely more of a background character for most of the show due to the fact they hardly speak and hate being dragged from the lake! he’s incredibly shy and anxiety ridden, but loves everything about the water. fish is really funny tbh they have a gag of just being in the background doing weirdass shit with no explanation, theyre just really to themself lmao. she’s really close with david and he’s their favorite counselor evidently throughout the show, which makes david really happy because nobody appreciates him ever 😭. fish brings him a dead fish one time though as a gift and he is mortified . so i guess there are ups and downs

they also run away during city survival with their only trail being a pair of abandoned flip flops (they hate shoes) and my oc counselors have to go on a wild goose chase of trying to find him and …. Most of their campers, to be honest . these kids be running AWAY

Barney x Lauren for the Ship Ask Game. I know the latter hardly exists outside of pure fanon, but I gotta say that I appreciate the sheer dedication and effort put towards creating a character whose existence is near hypothetical. Yes, Barney Calhoun totally definitely had a girlfriend or spouse at some point in time prior to the ResCas (which, if you're unfamiliar with 'Lauren', this post puts it quite nicely [https://www.tumblr.com/shrimpkidd/694596732780249088/theory-about-lauren] Or, TLDR; it is most likely that Barney's to-do list in the Half Life: Blue Shift manual is referencing the surname of an established coworker [that of Otis Laurey], rather than the forename of a partner who is not mentioned anywhere else in or out of the series). Considering the speculative nature of Half-Life as a series, it's not too much of a shocker that people went hog-wild with this idea. It's cute I suppose? Not that I particularly have strong feelings on the subject matter either way. I just think it's a neat tidbit of fandom trivia, y'know? Dubious canonicity aside, I've seldom ever really seen people bring her up at all nowadays. If I could be bothered I'd love to figure out how to incorporate Lauren into my little interpretation of Half-Life, but that's for another day.

oh no shes def a canon character in my lil brain, and she and barney did date for a while, but personally i wouldnt say i ship it in the traditional sense, its kinda complex

the way ive sorta got it is that she and barney started dating in college or in the short time barney was inbetween college and working at black mesa, and into barneys time at black mesa as long distance partners, but the romantic relationship part kinda died off within a year or so at the longest, but they still remained friends afterward given that hes still making sure to get her presents n all

im havent yet solidified what exactly their relationship was like, cuz on the one hand it coukd have been a they dated genuinely but long distance killed it, but theres also the fun concept of lauren kinda using barney as a beard with or without his knowledge becuz they were already kinda friends so she knew he porbably wouldnt like freak out too bad if he knew she was queer (cuz ykno its the 90s and comin off the 80s and the aids crisis)

so in terms of shipping, i guess i dont ship it, But i do think this relationship is one thats important for barney in terms of life experience and expanding his social circle

i guess dont ship it cuz shes just a name literally and its alot harder to like develop and get attached to it lol

if she had been a character we see and meet and if there were more to develop off of the way there is for barney and gordon (since gordon is personality wise nearly blank but we get to see interactions between him and barney and hear about things theyve done together that shows a close relationship hypothetically)

in terms if positive stuff allot of it i kinda already addressed in laying the ground work to even answer this ask proper lol, she is another person in barneys social cirlce, and if shes also queer him knowing eould suplly him another person to help him to overcome his own internalized stuff, not that im saying its her job to help him bit like her queerness should he know about it is a little example that he personally knows tht he can compare his own experiences with and see live happily as she is should she come out to him, as opposed to her having to coach him thru it ykno? it as a ship is also just fun in terms of just a sweet little normal relationship if they are genuinely dating (meaning we ignore my idea of them not being in a relationship by thebtime of thebrescas) just barney being goofy and working hard to have that long distance relationship and its cute how he makes a note to remind himself to get her flowers, i dunno theyre just sweet regardless i think :)

[amiibo-king]

ok i GOTTA know.. my little pony and ace attorney for that ask game

starting with ace attorney

Send me a fandom and I’ll tell you my:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): honestly i think it's edgeworth. i just think hes neat

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): ok this is gonna sound weird but actually pheonix. i know hes an adult man. but hes my son

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): will powers. he's just a big soft guy. also adrian andrews

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): idk if she counts as obscure but im kind of obsessed w desiree delite

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): gumshoe. and larry. theyre both so pathetic. i want to put them in my pocket

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): wendy oldbag. not bc i dislike her but bc i think it would be really funny

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): manfred von karma. need i say more

and my little pony. all generations but actually probably going to focus mostly on non-g4 and probably heavily on g1 bc i grew up w the pre-g4 stuff so it's more nostalgic for me gfdjkg and its been a while since i watched g4 tbh i'd have to rewatch it to do this with g4 i think

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): depends what gen tbh. in G1 i'd say maybe melody from mlp tales? in G2 definitely clover. G3 would be either kimono or cherry blossom (or cheerilee as they later renamed her... i prefer her original name) and G4 probably fluttershy

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): spike. all versions of him

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): G1 tic-tac-toe and baby tic-tac-toe! they were my favorites of the toys as a kid but they hardly ever showed up in the actual animated material so whenever i see their existence acknowledged i'm like ITS THEM!!!

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): i would have put the tic-tac-toes in this spot but actually i think the better one for this spot is knightshade from the G1 mlp n' friends episode "bright lights". im p sure he only shows up for that one episode and i dont think they ever made a toy of him. he rules tho

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): discord. i dont feel the need to elaborate. ALSO the witch sisters reeka and draggle from the G1 movie

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): gusty. why is she so mean all the time

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): im sorry i know theyre supposed to be good guys but i hate the bushwoolies. im sending them to super hell

[thisisasupergoodidea]

alright, this took forever because i kept getting sidetracked, but here it is. the universe ive slowly been building up. it took so long to write. its so ridiculously lengthy. i almost want to apologize to you if you read it oh my god 
the main story in this universe is project four, in which four people meet Death and tag along on its quest to convince a space wyrm not to eat the world. the death figure, kymoyef, evades capture for nearly 1000 years following the event that takes place in the four cities, observing people and steadily learning about the world as it stores energy for the big confrontation. as an energy being in the form of an object, kymoyef struggles with applying the concept of personhood to itself, but the four people who insert themselves into its business help it understand who it wants to be
kymoyef’s companions love to ask questions and tell stories, one of which is an old folk tale about morality that they know as the four cities. in it, a godlike character asks kymoyef to visit four corrupt cities and raze them to the ground should their corruption be confirmed, so that the seeds of new civilization can be sown in their place. kymoyef goes to the first three places and, finding vanity, enmity, and apathy, destroys them without question. but upon reaching the fourth city and encountering suffering and hopelessness, kymoyef begins to question whether any of these people truly deserved erasure. it refuses to complete its task and instead goes into hiding to plot against the godlike character. kymoyef reveals that this tale is (generally) true 
then i began fussing over details and ended up developing a plot within Sorrowstone, the city of suffering and hopelessness, where i show up close just how depressing it is through the perspective of a newcomer named rin. he joins the camp (which has no name historically since no one remembers it really existed) to escape his past and soon realizes that his stay would be permanent. the endless labor, the bleak and isolated environment, the meager food and supplies, the rampant depression of every other person in the camp - all of this combined prevented anyone from being of sound mind enough to leave. rin sees one death and promptly decides he has a duty to write down everything he observed, whether anyone would ever see it or not. that is the sorrowstone account 
ok. back to the top. one of the four protagonists, caforleh, absolutely loves hearing stories and using them as inspiration for his own grand tales. i really wanted to feel justified in brainstorming for a completely separate project that had nothing to do with project four, so i clapped my hands together and declared that caforleh occasionally works on a piece of fiction that is my project inheritance, in which generation after generation of a particular lineage of siblings are all cursed to the same fate. in their lives, only and always two children will be born, quite often twins, and one will die by the actions of the other at some point. the most recent siblings are separated at a very young age after the murder of their mother, but years later one dies all too suddenly and the adults involved are sent into a panic trying to hide it from the other sibling. magic shit happens and basically you have the dead ones consciousness in the body of their sibling, not realizing theyre dead yet technically alive again, and the living ones consciousness is bound to a piece of paper in a wizard’s pocket. and everyone’s trying to run away from a cult faction that wants their leader back, but surprise, the living sibling was their leader. its a convoluted mess 
in the background of this mess i found a nice little home for the magic pendant, a story that is literally just my 11th grade spanish project. a guy has a cool magic pendant. some magic dude steals it. the guy and his friend get a magic knife from a magic squirrel and kick magic dudes ass. so magical. i took that and pumped in extra details that made me happy, and now its officially enough of a story to be included 
once more to the top. within the world of project four, one of the regions is plagued by a deep rift that scarred the land when scientist daiah’s experiment went horribly wrong. it swallowed several cities and poisoned the people and land around it. the survivors call that area daiah’s shame and send excommunicated criminals there to die as punishment. what they have yet to discover is that the rift is truthfully a tear upon their plane of existence, acting as an opening into an adjacent plane where pure energy resides. the land and people lost in the experiment fell into this other plane perfectly intact, but being that the two planes were never meant to interact in this way, were shortly infected with unknowable ailments. people slowly lost their sanity, their agency, anything that made them who they were. they either became husks or sought violence to distract themselves from their own pain. and the only freedom was to be killed, for time affected nothing in this plane. no one could grow old. the sky never moved. plants absorbed strange air and gnarled into bloated bastardizations 
this is the reality that the protagonists of project dark souls ripoff fell into. wayrain had been traveling with a known criminal through daiah’s shame in the hopes of reaching a region beyond it, and his friend cadmor was secretly a member of law enforcement tasked with making sure the criminal died there. when this was revealed, the three fought and all of them stumbled into the rift to be spat out in the desolate climate of the lost region. i was heavily inspired by dark souls in creating all of this, so honestly just imagine the opening scene of whichever dark souls game and you’ve got the idea of it. wayrain and cadmor have to navigate this sickly area that theyve hardly even heard stories of while also dealing with dangerous people, feeling betrayed by one another, and creeping afflictions. much like rin and caforleh, wayrain takes to learning as much as he possibly can about the surroundings and compiling it all into journals. he travels ceaselessly and does his best to uncover every last mystery, from lost libraries to unmarked graves. cadmor battles his imitation morality as he eases into another role of leadership. the two will clash several times but ultimately reconcile before kymoyef shows up to assess the condition of the rift 
and project fire girl is kinda out of place because it feels entirely standalone, but its actually the origin of most of this stuff, so im hoping i can find a way to squeeze it in somehow. its about a person who wakes up in a fire with no knowledge of how she got there and wanders around aimlessly dealing with the destructive repercussions of her mysterious fire powers, which she can barely control. i know. its sort of like frozen but with fire. but hey spoiler alert: she’s actually a wizard scientist (you can tell i really like my wizards and scientists) that, alongside her cousin, did awful experiments on people in the name of magic science, imbuing them with different forms of magic just to see what happens. and she gave herself fire powers because why the hell not. but the internal flame was so painful that the trauma of it elicited amnesia. she regains these memories in time by meeting the people plagued by the consequences of her actions. not knowing shes the one that did this to them, they work together with her and carry out a plan to expose the other wizard scientist. in the final confrontation, she admits that she regrets what shes done even if the academic community learned a lot from it, and allows herself to be imprisoned 
yeah. like i said, project fire girl was the first narrative in this universe, which came from a dream where she was taken in by an old couple and their adopted daughter and awoke in a bed of bright petals, only to realize that she accidentally set the house on fire in her sleep, killing the whole family. the imagery was so vivid that it stuck with me. project four originated from one of my old minecraft worlds that i unfortunately deleted by mistake and then tried to rebuild. but i couldnt remember what the old build was called so i called it arenos, and that became the first region. once i decided that fire girl was gonna be set in some mountains and that those mountains bordered arenos, i was officially on my way to creating what is now this world. and then more detail happened and kymoyef happened and the concept of the four cities being parallels to the four regions in the world sounded neat but i got carried away and wanted to try to recreate the four cities in minecraft, and only did sorrowstone, so i started to think of what depressing shit went on in that place and wrote a little bit about it 
the dark souls ripoff is, of course, a blatant ripoff of dark souls, but its also a combination of A) another neat dream i had that was just two people traveling on horseback through cold morning fog and being ambushed - one was killed and the other crawled to a nearby basement and hid for an eternity, until the landscape had entirely changed hundreds of years later - and B) a totally separate dream where two people were traveling on horseback through cold evening fog, trying to reach some uncertain destination after having to leave their entire lives behind because they were magic. i was like “i’ve just added two more regions to my world. what if this region has a big rift in it - oh, what if this person hid through the rift incident that sent them to an alternate plane - no wait, what if these other characters were traveling through the rift area and fell in?” 
project inheritance was first called dark souls ripoff 2 because it deals with souls being portable and consumable and the two siblings have to deal with increasing insatiability for souls to keep themselves alive after having their consciousnesses ripped from their bodies. but this story was originally gonna be a text adventure game with like seven hundred endings (im exaggerating a little) testing your ability to forgive and manage your bloodlust. i know. its like a bootleg undertale. i cant have an original thought even if that thought happened two years before the popular thing happened 
thats about it i guess. thats the beginners guide to my utterly incomplete creative endeavors. i have some other ideas that would be neat to pursue but they dont belong in this particular universe as of right now. i might find a way to make them fit. i might not

[fluffybunnybadass]

I finished season 2 and I just found out I need to apply to get a third job because the cost of living is so gosh darn expensive here. So I just started season 3 of Uta. The more and more I think it over, as adorable as their interactions with Nanami are, I find myself more a fan of their interactions with each other. What are your top 5 character relationships in the series? (Besides the groups themselves, b/c their group dynamics are really interesting and could be an entire separate topic)

Oh jeez. I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard enough working 2 jobs to make ends meet; i can't imagine how exhausting it is to work 3. Here's to hoping you can catch a break soon. Omg i rly wish they had more screentime dedicated to working/being together. Like, i get *why* it's focused on their relationships with nanami, but.... Give the boys some more interactions too!I don't know of any official subunits, other than the cross unit thing (how does that name even work THEYRE ALL IN THE SAME UNIT???) and the senpai-kohai. I kind of wish we got more screentime for reiji-otoya-tokiya bc i hardly recall anything about them, tho, while i'm on the subject. (I can recall everyone else's interactions and feelings on their senpai, but not for reiji's)1. I actually kind of like cecil and camus' interactions, cuz you have this super srs refined man teaching someone - who's spent a good amount of time being a cat and probably developing the "gives no fucks" system of one - to like... Give a fuck about being an idol. (And then they just.... Never visit that arc/growth/problem for cecil ever again and i think there's a LOT more they could have carried on to later seasons)2. I think Syo and Otoya could have had an interesting dynamic in the series but it just... Never rly happens in the anime?3. Ren and ai as gamer buddies? Why did this never happen C'MON NOW. 4. I actually kind of did like how Reiji basically sews the group together for quartet night, and is more or less their glue, so i actually do like the dynamic, and this is not a cop-out option. Like, yeah, he's the buttmonkey of the group but he's aware of it and uses it as a way to bring the other guys into the group/get them to agree on like, SOMETHING. It was his idea, pretty much everything to bring them closer together and add the energy/bond that STARISH has, is because he's pretty observant and watchful and knows that the other three aren't gonna do any bonding of their own accord, so he's gonna have to. And idk. I still am just like *side eyes reiji* but the more i talk about his roles / observation skills the more i wind up warming up to him. XD;5. Syo / Natsuki is actually kind of neat/v good on syo's side, but on natsuki's side it just falls flat for me. I started to like it more when they show more of syo being around natsuki for his and others' safety, but on natsuki's side i'm just like ???? He likes him cuz he's super smol and pocket-sized??? Like, where is the chem from.Natsuki"s side, i know it's there but they just.... Miss showing it every time?????? I wish i had seen more of the boys interacting in the anime. Ren and masa have a good one when the writers REMEMBER TO USE THEIR HISTORY TOGETHER, or remember to write it at all. But most of them... I'm just like, "these would be good dynamics but i do not see much of them". Shining Live gives us a better idea of some (like... Ai is a fucking gamer and i feel cheated out of being shown a fucking roboy staying up all night to play videyagaems and like.... Dude.... Him and ren playing together? Ai would fucking have all that "best build" shit down and berate ren for wanting to party with a not-maximized potential character, then sigh when ren doesnt seem to budge on his build, so he just is like "make sure you at least do *xyz class/job combo*".)Orz this wound up being more about relationships i wish i saw more of. Like maybe different QN members with the kohais (like camus interacting with otoya. Comic relief right there)What about you? What interactions do you wish you saw more of, or the ones that you did like?

An Insider’s Look At The Dark Underbelly Of Amusement Parks

There’s nothing better than an theme park: The stimulates of the roller coaster, the savors of the fair food, the smells of that neat carny who wants to show you his van — absolutely, it is a common … of delight. And then we realized the ghastly blunder of talking to the people who work there, and spoilt all of the splendor. After they clicked out of their flashbacks, sweating and hollering, they illuminated a cigarette, and told us …

5

Brutal Fistfights Are Depressingly Common

Riding a roller coaster in the winter is like going blasted in the appearance by an ice-shotgun, so theme parks tend to do the majority of members of their business in the summer. That comes with its own difficulties: Between the hot, the long wrinkles, and the smell of contaminate sweat, tensions lead higher than some of the people operating the rides. Fistfights are basically ensure. Anthony, who used to work at a pretty famous theme park, tells us TAGEND

“While labor the line for[ a roller coaster move ], a monstrous engage breaks out because someone had saved a place for their brother. The parties behind them did not like it, and started screeching at them. The screeching turned into screaming, which turned into fighting. By the end the person who ‘cut’ had a broken nose and broken teeth.”

Things were pretty much the same at Worlds Of Fun in Missouri, where Nick used to work: “One era that lodges out is when I was running the think competition, where I guess your age, heavines, or birthday … One drunkard person develops waltzing up to me past all the people and requests, ‘Hey! How much is it to fucking performance ?! This game appears enjoyable! ‘”

In nature, that guy would be sounding like a serpent about now.

“I told him it’s five dollars, but you’ll have to go to the back of the line, a “mens and” his daughter are up next. He reads, ‘Fuck that! I wanna play now! ‘ ‘Sir, get out of the behavior, it’s our turn.’ ‘No! Fuck you! ‘ Then that pa smacked the drunk guy so fucking hard. Knocked out fucking cold. Both beings got kicked out of the park. I attained sure that dad got a reward for his “girls “, though. Dude deserved it.”

We’re sure the daughter had so much better recreation that day, and was in no way scarred by these events.

4

Do Not Eat Anything, Ever

If you’re a fan of corn dogs, Anthony is about to spoil your day — even more than your several-corn-dog lunch would TAGEND

“Regular practice in our kitchens — when we find rodent fells — is to throw away only whatever the drops are on.”

“We had a bad rodent problem, and any of our food that was OBVIOUSLY in contact with mice was shed out, while nutrient who are able to even be in the same suitcase was saved.”

… and then put on a dish/ fasten, and, eventually, inside your mouth.

Now, for various liability-related reasonableness, we can’t tell you exactly where Anthony laboured, simply that it was a super well-known park with locatings all over the world. Not Disneyland, though, even if the rodent droppings would be a perfect thematic fit for them.

“Like many other corporations, the park was all about their bottom line, ” Anthony persists. “They will try to save money any room possible, and that, unfortunately, typically was seemed in our meat business district. Our fryers were hardly ever changed, and the petroleum would be there months. I have also understood hires droop food on the soil, and continue to use it. I have no idea if their standards have gotten better, but I refuse to eat in the common anymore.”

Though to be fair to the park, you are supposed to be wino when confronted with that decision.

Some Parks Operate On Slave Labor

Outsourcing responsibilities is old hat. Nowadays, all the cool theme parks are really into insourcing, i.e. hiring seasonal help from abroad for so little fund, you’d “re going to have to” doubled it to call it a “slave wage.”

“Our park participates in a foreign exchange curriculum targeting economically depressed countries, ” Anthony reads, “like Turkey, and Thailand, to find students who want to participate in their foreign ‘work study’ program.”

Anthony was right to use quotation marks there, because the only act foreign exchange proletarians actually contemplated was the art of grifting.

Foreign works at Anthony’s park were brought into the country with predicts of enjoyable operate, good remunerate, and all the narcotics they could steal from the person who runs the bumper gondolas. In actuality, though TAGEND

“They are paid the same minimum wages we were, except 70 percent of their paycheck is given back to the common for chamber and board rates. Nonetheless, each chamber deemed four or five students at once, ” and taking 7/10 ths of a person’s paycheck for the privilege of sleeping under a card table isn’t exactly moral.

“There is another massive language hurdle when they first come in. They are in the common for around six months, so eventually “theyre starting” speaking English well. When we were all lastly able to communicate, they spoke of how cruel their conditions were. They seemed almost like prisoners in the camp, ” and that’s hardly an exaggeration.

The park owneds “didn’t sponsor the workers to run to America to take these enterprises, ” Anthony explains. “More often than not, construction workers have to take out loans, or get sponsorship to move out to the U.S. The rate is around $3,000 to do so. Since “they il be” being paid minimum wage and having their hire taken out of it, most laborers end up not stimulating enough to pay back the cost of what it took to operate out there.”

Well, that is pretty representative of the modern-day American experience. Good profession, theme parks?

If You’re A Live-in Employee At An Theme park, They Own You

The problem with human employees is that they’re sometimes late, or get sick, or insist on having their own lives outside of task. That’s why theme park cannot wait for current technology to catch up to Westworld . In the meantime, they just have to settle for house some of their local proletarians in fellowship dormitories as well, thus awarding themselves an lunatic degree of govern over their workers’ lives.

Heather, who used to work at Cedar Point in Ohio, interprets: “I lived in a dorm with three beings … This method the ballpark knows exactly where you are at all times, who your friends are, who you’re dating, possibly who you slept with previously, and therefore shouldn’t work with. If they require you to come into work early, they’ll call you — knowing you live a mile and a half down the road and can get there, so ‘no’ is not really an answer.”

Hell, with a pair of binoculars, they could probably investigate what you were wearing. And then rebuke you because you weren’t wearing the park’s communal underwear.

“All of those things can, and will, be used against you( by casing or your supervision) if there is a need, to get you to apply for a certain position, or to come in early or stand belatedly, or to add a couple more weeks on to your contract.”

And if you don’t comply with all of Cedar Point’s seeks, they might form “youre working” while battling an communicable diseases. Ha, just kidding! They might shape you do that even if you’re a model employee.

6 Things I Learned When The Cops Raided My House By Mistake

“When I came down with pink seeing, ” Heather answers, “my boss transmitted me to first assist, but first I had to finish my displacement. But because of my circumstance, I wasn’t legally let at the control panels. Marched around all morning with a bottle of handwriting sanitizer, unable to take places at rides or facilitate unbuckle seat belt because I couldn’t learn and didn’t want to spread germs … At my clinic appointment, the doctor mentioned ‘That’s pink eye. Wow. That developed overnight? This looks like you’ve had it for daytimes. What enterprise do you do? ‘ and upon hearing that I was in contact with children 10 hours a day, told me the only worse happening I could have said was that I worked with nutrient … Sent me residence for two days with antibiotics, effective immediately.”

A Lot Of People Die At Amusement park

So just how likely are you to die at a theme park? We don’t know. In happening , none does, because there isn’t a single federal agency responsible for investigating or weighing fatalities at amusement park. Yet strangely, there is one that decides how geographical names are expended.

BradenGunem/ iStock Right now the best structure is to avoid any go where the exit is suspiciously close to disaster parking .

What we know for sure is that three of our sources determined someone expire at their park.

“Once, when I was making near The Detonator, ” Nick replies, “which is a tall ride that you sit in and it propels you upwards, someone had a heart attack and died right there. Those advice about heart attack on roller coasters, etc ., are not “re kidding” … Another day, a teenage girlfriend and a acquaintance is intended to go the Gray wolf. It’s a wooden coaster with steep mounds and such. Halfway through, her friend told me that she is intended to button accommodates. So they tried, in mid-ride, and flunked. She fell to her death.”

According to an informal sketch, those were only two of around 1,200 coincidences that emerged in America’s 400 ballparks in 2011. However, the survey came from the International Association Of Amusement park And Attractions, i.e. the parks themselves, which is a little like expecting the NRA how many gun owneds in America shot off their dicks. You know they’ll try to seriously low-ball that number.

“One night, a request departs out over the radio about person or persons injured on the Batman ride. This journey has the rider in a set with their feet hanging free. At one point the ride comes out of a loop close to the ground and this woman’s leg and part of the seat assembly struck individual employees[ at 50 mph] who had hopped over the fencing and was in this prohibited domain. There was no doubt he was dead, and good-for-nothing could be done except wait for the coroner. Upon inspection, his pockets were filled with a large amount of change. We figured he was attempting to collect the money that fell from people’s pockets and was in the wrong lieu at the wrong time.”

According to Justin, this same ride too killed a teenager a year later, where reference is jump-start the fence to get back the hat “hes lost”. A nearly identical coincidence happened at Anthony’s park — hat, hung roller coaster, and all TAGEND

“There was a man who lost his hat on a move, get off, and decided to climb over the barrier to get it. He aimed up getting hit by a vehicle on our[ dangled roller coaster ]. One other example occurred at our water park. A person cut through the line, crusaded through clients and the lifeguards, and climbed down one of our tallest slides, which is almost a terminated vertical cease. He toppled over and territory on the fence below. He died.”

In conclusion, the most difficult killers at amusement parks are idiocy and Darwinism. Don’t fuck with them and you’ll be OK. And perhaps stay away from the corn dogs.
