i return. office jobs time. BUT AGAIN!

so emet isn't one to get attached as easily as hilde is. hilde has a big heart & big emotions, a tendency to think he can befriend Anybody if he tries hard enough, even the most antisocial of coworkers! or well. that IS the reputation he has & he is a bit. well. unpleasant. not a friendly resting face, doesnt go out of his way to chat up anybody at the workplace, more likely to make biting remarks under his breath than show someone even a drop more generosity & gratefulness than they "deserve" for a task well done - a curt 'thank you' usually is all one can get out of him. which tbf he is constantly drowning in work so spending too much time on socialising would!! ruin his workflow! is he incredibly stressed? Well Yes Of Course

but the thing is hilde is like. very problem solvy brain. he sees a problem someone else has & is struggling to solve & hes like >:[ i can protect you (from the unsolvable problem). & while initially emet would perceive it as meddling from a tolerable & efficient but ultimately A Coworker coworker it does give him pause when hilde actually solves his problem. [ said problem is, in all likelihood, something in the vein of "Something has come up that is going to make me need to reorganise everything in an entirely different manner & it's too much to process at once for me to work out when i'm already swimming in caffeine, ibuprofen, two hours of sleep & five impending deadlines (he's not a slacker he just takes on more responsibilities than is reasonable)". hildegarde's not good at organising his own affairs but let it be for someone else's sake & all of a sudden he's a master at working things out in a timely manner too! ]

so. he comes to hold hildegarde in higher respect through that. not that he disliked him before that but he was mostly neutral. sort of positive? definitely found Some amusement in seeing hilde fumble the act of walking & there might've been some endearment in it but like. he doesn't form connections that easily. not without prompt

after that i feel like they kind of. rely on each other's insight more. well moreso emet, bc he's the one who's been helped (& hilde. well. imagine feeling comfortable asking for help 😂😂😂 he'll get there though) so he's like. there's this reliable guy. i can get his opinion or assistance on things if they give me too much trouble. not a fan of asking but he does it so naturally & without really paying much mind to it that it doesn't feel like i'm asking for help that much so it's fine. <- also bad at asking for help but it's a pride ( 🏳️‍🌈? ��) thing for him

the like, trigger for hilde asking for help pretty much, is uhh... well. perhaps it is a little cliché (idk i don't read fic or anything. im gleaming the aura of these fic tags & websites from afar) but who DOESNT WANT CLICHE! right? it's fun! anyway hilde (points) is horrible at taking care of himself this remains true in any universe. is he staying way too late at his desk? of course. does he have my mental illness soup? obviously. let's embark upon a journey of "here he is, it's past midnight, he's exhausted & desperately trying to finish something BEFORE the deadline day but the executive is dysfunctioning + it's late so his brain is being not so kind & he's getting really overwhelmed just sitting with his own thoughts. in walks the only other guy who'd stay at work this late for similar reasons except hes actually got it handled a little better. he is now being (very delicately bc it's more implied than "you should do that") encouraged to drop it & just go home". isn't it fucked up when you start caring about someone who was kinda just there for the longest time & now you're walking them home at one in the morning? lol

during the whole time post hilde helping emet there was like. more communication between them ofc. not at all to the point of texting each other outside of Work Stuff but at Job they didnt exclusively talk about job stuff. ykw i even imagine hilde would on occasion come to gossip about a coworker they both have some beef with (hello thancred this is you) which hilde knows bc of emet's snippy remarks, & well emet did the same. & they would end up trying to sync their breaks so they could chat over their respective hot beverages & preferably with no one else taking their break at the same time. that was bonding lmao. at that point they would refer to each other as pleasant acquaintances but they are kind of already friends. it's just that neither of them will outright call the other that without being given indication that Is the case. emet doesn't really think about it that much unless asked & hilde doesn't want to be presumptuous. in all likelihood a third party is gonna have to ask emet about it so they can be Officially Friends. but they are friends at that time.

do i think they fucked on the Late Work Night? well. maybe. who am i to know really. (no. however likely emet had to stay over bc sleepy & upset hilde is clingy hilde. he literally could not leave. emet had the next day off it's Fine hilde even made breakfast & went out to the bakery to get him some pastries as an apology)

something that makes emet realise he's come to really care for hilde is probably learning hilde's beef w thancred is bc they like, were kinda together kinda not for a time? but thancred's nature TM makes it that it was impossible for it to work & also he has a competitive nature that hilde cannot stand. & suddenly emet feels a looot more comfortable getting annoyed at him for the smallest, most unimportant shit LMAO. i imagine elidibus is also one of the famed coworkers in that beautiful au (& someone emet would be more familiar with overall) & he's like. i did not expect you to have such strong feelings on someone you're never actually having to interact with directly. & emet's just shrugging. because it's actually the exact amount of beef he should have thank you very much

meanwhile on hilde's side of things shtola is praising his ingenuity in using his history with some other guy to get closer to guy who dislikes said some other guy. & hilde has to defend himself & assure her that is NOT his intent (she is just fucking with him. of course she is. she just also finds it funny when thancred has beef w ppl) (thancred & hilde are still friends hilde is just the gossipper & the bitcher. once again we shan't forget he is me in a lot of regards)

thancred voice oh so you're courting that prick over there by talking shit about me?? hilde voice i am NOT courting him. however i am talking shit about you yea sorry i remembered that time we played mario kart & you sat on me to make me lose & got mad. thancred voice if you were trying to get with anyone else i would probably forgive you considering the circumstances. but not HIM! hilde voice i am NOT TRYING TO GET WITH HIM!!

but he is. admitting it would make him feel shallow though. he did not befriend beautiful emet for the sake of kissing him of course. but well. impostor syndrome & the whole... yknow... thing where queer- is prince next to me??? hold on. (tabs into the game) (tabs out) yup hes joined me on the bench awesome. where was i. yea thing where queer ppl feel like their attraction is inherently predatory bc of Socieeetyyy. if you think i dont include societal issues in my writing WRONG! a world without homophobia sounds ideal but i would not write about an ideal world. i'd have nothing to write about if the world was ideal. so one of the many issues hilde has to deal with is insecurities regarding the legitimacy of his ✨ blossoming feelings ✨ for the handsome coworker who smells good & is very tall & has been really kind to him & they share opinions on important stuff & have decent banter on other stuff that never feels like an actual Fight is gonna happen about it just friendly bickering & did i mention he smells good & oh god his wings could wrap him up in a hug like a blanket NOOOO don't think about it it's Bad you're a CREEP! <- is this relatable to me? well maybe. SIGH

emet... ack. he's probably not really thinking about romance as a baseline. married to his work kinda guy. his work has started involving this one weird deerguy whom he's more or less befriended [as npc i shan't yet name would tease him about] more & more though. maybe it's time to think about settling down. <- shan't be named npc teases him saying shit like that for SURE it's the kind of thing where. ok these paragraphs are not chronological they go TOGETHER okay it's IMPORTANT to note that. these two would have smth similar going to like. what i've said about... other versions of them let's say. where they get like really close but don't Talk about it. they spend more time together outside of work & work functions ("ah, so it's a date then!" teases the npc. emet rolls his eyes), hang out at each other's place, maybe even go to a concert together if anything catches either of them's fancy & they don't want to go somewhere alone, they probably share a bed more often than not when spending the night together. why do they spend the night together? could've gone out for drinks & gone home together for Safety (or they're both piss drunk & walked home leaning against each other to try & keep themselves standing LMAO no chance for either of them to THEN go home to their own place without just collapsing somewhere on the street), emet's decided to clean up hildes place because mr depression over there has trouble doing it himself but he had to come over after work so it got late, or Just Because. plenty of reasons for them to spend time together. & they do share a bed yeah. cuddle even. maybe more even. what's a little making out between friends? no big deal

it'd be during all that that hilde becomes aware of his own feelings rather than before entirely. & he fully thinks it's all him & there's no chance at all of reciprocation. It Haunts Him that he feels so predatory & evil for still going along with all this after realising his feelings (& in the UNLIKELY event they may be reciprocated what if his own feelings aren't real? what if he's being MANIPULATIVE for ATTENTION & AFFECTION? i mean. you know how it is with. mental illness). he probably has some pretty bad mental crises about it. & one of them is probably the catalyst for them getting together proper lmao. i would go Into It more but i am. once again getting tired. & also sharing info about my characters at their Worst makes me feel so vulnerable HFJKHGDJSG plus i mean... i do retain some self consciousness abt the #marysueish nature of things. ill get over it i promise. & there will be more furry modern au words. after i sleep. i still have not gotten to the date activities. fuck. WELL! sad

final message to the world (in this specific reblog) though is that emet is aware of his own feelings probably around the same time hilde becomes aware of his own & he just. keeps going along to see how long it'll take for hilde to Say something. if he says something at all. otherwise he is perfectly fine continuing like this forever <- lying to himself he is finding himself to be yearning for it & for it to be Official so he can also (rarely) express affection more overtly with words too but he pushes it at the back of his mind to pretend that yeah hes totally cool with things being implied & unsaid he is SO lying. he is SO fucking lying things being unclear stress him the fuck out too. also being able to introduce this guy he really likes & respects as his Partner would make him feel like a god & he wants that so bad. there. the final

first you're not horrible and in fact I care about you deeply and dearly, second!! Tell me about that furry modern AU i've seen you post a bit about I think? the one where they work office jobs. If you have anything you wanna say about that :] or um. Tell me hilde and emet's favourite date activities !

green. sneef. i hold ur kind words so close to my heart. always. even when i feel bad!! which is saying!! u know how it is with brain bad...

& of course i can tell u about my Epic Furry Modern AU where they work office jobs!!!!! it's one i haven't actually pondered TOO much yet but the beautiful thing abt thinking is that it's something u can do & then u have thoughts. isnt it beautiful

it would be separate from my Regular Modern AU which has its own lore. in this one they are really. coworkers. to start with. this one actually started off bc i was designing a fursona for hilde & the image came to me of him.. well hold on. this

^ this is him looking up over his shoulders while Handsome Kind of standoffish Smells good fuckkkk he smells GOOD coworker (though the way i see it it's more similar to like, when two companies work together? & they're from diff. companies basically. yeah) reaches over his head to grab something from the shelf he was sorting. & well emet is an Owl so he has Big Feathery Arms kind of like a cape... so in that scenario hilde is kind offf getting enveloped in that. not really bc emet isnt touching him but. yeah. if this hapepend to me id just die homosexual style i can promise you this

i think magic exists in this universe however we still need desk workers yk. magic doesnt, err, magically erase bureaucracy. Sad! theyre both full of magical potential but yknow when ppl either have a lot of skill but cant get hired for anything relevant to them so they settle for some nothing job OR the thing theyre really good at doesnt pay well so they go for smth that doesnt align w their preferences for the sake of living comfortably financially even if it means work is hell on their mind? them. hilde is the one who cant get hired for smth he likes & emet is the one going for a job that pays good rather than a job that suits what he likes doing. though of course he does get really really into the managing & organising aspect of Office Worker due to le autism. no way he isnt a manager of some sort he is NOT at the bottom of the ladder in any universe. i wouldnt say hilde is at the bottom of the ladder either bc he DOES have good skills & is generally a very applied worker (also idk im really not gunning for them having an unbalanced dynamic as coworkers, same company or not) but he definitely brushes his job off as not that important if asked what he does

emet probably has a sort of Reputation that makes him sound unapproachable but in the few interactions theyve had hes been a very reliable person to work with so hilde isnt particularly deterred from maybe trying to make friends for that reason. hes just.. socially awkward & anxious to start with. the moment their other coworkers (who hilde is actually like, decently friends with, likely one of the scions who mightve even been his friend before he started working there too. hell, could be a zero! or two even) catch that hes trying to befriend the guy with the Reputation theyyy try to orchestrate ways for them to work alongside each other more lmao. or like ohhh shucks i left xyz in the office over there can you go get it for me since youre nearby </3 which is entertaining for everyone in the know to watch.

they do get to work more as time goes on bc i feel like hilde would be doing like... communications stuff. great for the social anxiety lmao. & so relaying info & working out how the companies can better work w each other would be at least partly on him. he'd be involved in that i thinks. & ofc that would also involve the ppl in higher positions. fuck iahve so amny more ideas but im actually falling asleep in my seat remind me to rb with more tomorrow + the date activities ahhh

Weekend Drive Crossovers to crush cars in ‘2018 -AUTOMOTIVE NEWS / CAR NEWS CHANEL

youtube

Welcome everybody to the first weekend drive of 2018I’m Mike Martinez joined as always by Mike Whalen happy new year 2018 that it’s just so weirdIt’s your flu by fasting. We got another one ahead of us, and if you guys are anything like usYou’ve probably already broken your New Year’s resolution, so we’re not gonna even talk about thatBut we do want to talk about or a few predictions. We have for the coming yearWell crossover is out cell passenger cars can Tesla mass produced the model 3And what about Robo cars maybe road-ready this year? No one knows for sure, but we’re taking our best guesses IDid not break any 2018 resolutions because I didn’t make anyBut I do have my first prediction for the year, and you know what it kind of seems like it has already happenedBut it hasn’t I predict crossovers will outsell passenger carsIt kind of seems like it has because when we talk about sales we talk about light duty trucks and light duty carsBut the light duty trucks a lot of times have vans or possibly evencrossovers or SUVs in them depending how you characterize it andSince the 50/50 split of light duty truck and light duty passenger cars in 2013We’re now in the high 60s for truckBut the cars are still selling more than the cross of cross overs overall for the industryAnd I really think that’s gonna kind of flip-flop this year seems like this has been kind of a slowTidal wave that’s been coming for years right the emergence of SUVs and crossoversAnd it seems like that momentum continues to build and you know Mike as I always say. There’s no Menem like momentumYou look at this thoughthe Toyota rav4 in the Nissan Rogue for the first time in the history of car sales sold over the400,000 unit mark and then you have vehicles like the escapethe Explorerothercrossovers and100,000 and GM cross those offcrossovers hit about nine hundred and sixty-five thousand this year well 2017Sorry and cars were at seven hundred nine thousand. I mean that is a pretty big gap now compared toCars leading last year and you look at even some of the individual races right the rav4 overtaking the CamryFor its fusion and focus of giving way to the escape and explore so individually it’s starting to happen I agree with youI think that’s a good prediction for 2018. I’m glad you agree with me. What’s yours well?I don’t know if you’ll agree with me on this, but my first prediction Lincoln’s that LincolnOh, yeah, he’s gonna. Have a bounce-back year surprisinglyWe’ve talked a lot about Lincoln latelyAnd I’ve kind of talked about some of the growth that they’ve experiencedSurprisingly, they didn’t experience growth and the sales chart in the USI was gonna say I’ve got the sales right here for Lincoln and everyone else andLincoln was down0. 5. Percent for the 12 months I mean there’s nowhere to go but up for them still that would be my argument for yoursBox back year they will see some salesIncreases in the US because you have the first full year of navigator sales if you look at navigator individually inDecember it was up 30% well every other nameplate was down pretty significantlyYou’re having the refreshed, and KC which is an important segment for them coming backAnd you have the artist formerly known as the MKX the Nautilus coming next year later in the year 10 you have metalMcConaughey talking to animals right wellI’m not quite in this oneThat was a new level hold what what’s the new ones so if you guys haven’t seen it yetI really recommend you check out the new navigator ad where Matthew McConaughey is basically conducting an orchestra in his new navigatorHe summons a train. He’s tapping on some bongos. It’s it sounds likeIt sounds like a party that IWill put it that way?Okay, speaking of partying. Let’s move into another prediction that has kind of been playing out all of2017 IThink there are gonna. Be more indictments and charges coming in the uaw FCA training center scandalWe’ve been following this four people have been formally chargedSeveral others were unnamed in the indictment, and we’ve seen a lot of moves from the Union as well as a few things happening thatWe don’t know what it means yetBut I think a lot of that is going to come to fruition in2018 not a great look for the Union and although I will say Mikewith this story Montblanc pensWere in the news I was kind of hoping for one for ChristmasBut uh, maybe your gift to me is still in the mail because I didn’t get one yetno, I didn’t get you anything, and I definitely not $2,000 worth or a$2,000 or more shotgun, which I think or jewel the VP who was retiring and retired on December 31st?reportedly received gave the money back, but that still didn’t save him from wanting to retire andthe UAW nominate in someone else’s placeI mean that story just keeps widening the feds are looking into the GM and for training centersWe don’t know what’s gonna happen. Well that andStick with federal indictments and different things. There’s a lot of still federal IDon’t want say pros, but just different things going on Fiat ChryslerAnd what we’ve seen over the last couple years that have them come to a conclusion yetSo we’ll see what happens with that. I think this year, too. I’ll give you another prediction. I think somebodyMajor or minor automaker it doesn’t matterSome sort of automaker will bow out of the autonomous vehicle race in2018 whether that means scaling back their plans or just getting out of it altogetherListen I think Sergio at FCA got it right when he decided to kind of pull back and say listeneverybody’s chasing wait-and-see approachKind of we’re gonna wait until somebody develops this we’re gonna buy it off the shelf and just throw the system in our vehiclesWell let them do all the hard work, and then when they prove that it’s profitableAnd it works safely well buy it off and one of his arguments has has been if the autonomous vehicle workshow it shouldYou shouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them exactly why people tell the difference between the ride a little bitbut if they work how they shouldEverybody’s chasing the same that algorithm. I I’m not sure it’s the best idea, and then you have suppliers like DelphiNow active that are doing good work with folks like blackberry and lyft a partnership. They just announced recently for CESnext week thatYou know they’re gonna be offering free autonomous lift rides thereSo they’re doing the work you have a million won automakers doing it, too. I I don’t know I think you just need toPare down a little bit and see what happens speaking of a million-in-one, automaker’s, thank you for that lead-in mic my last prediction isv’s will remain a tiny fraction of Industry salesAnd we see so many automakers in general announcing Grainger plans2018 might be the year of PR releases and just what they’re going to doBut the sales aren’t going to be there and that also includes Tesla, which will remain a niche player and notNot hit its targets. You don’t think Elon is gonna deliver with the model 3. I do not, but Eevee’s Tesla and just theThere’s such a small segment right now that they should be grouped into oneYeahI think you’d be hard-pressed to find somebody to take the bet to say that V’s are gonna explode in popularity or that Tesla willMeet its goalsAnd you guys know that we’ve kind of hit them pretty hard in in recent weeks and as a schlub prediction the Tesla semiWhich I believe is supposed to come out as the early is 2019? We’ll be delightedI’ll take that bet allRight Mike my last prediction here. Is that nothing is gonna change when it comes to pick up truck WarsThey’re escalating here in 2018 and there’s a lot of news thatAbout to be flooding the blogosphere in the internetYou have a new Silverado you have the new Ram 1500 you have Ford diesel you have Ford Ranger presumably coming later this year, butAt the end of the day, I don’t think it’s gonna change anything. I think byJanuary 1st 2019 we’re gonna be talking about how f-series isAmerica’s best selling truck for the 40 second straight year how GM is in second placeAnd how FCA is in third place the same as it has been for a while you know?I don’t necessarily disagree with you because when you’re gonna have RAM coming online supposedly this monthMaybe going into next ramping up and you have GMMaybe mid year with its pickupsnot much is gonna change people gonna be waiting for those new models, and Chevy as well asRAM are planning to produce their current andContinue them for an unspecified amount of time, and I’m blue the seer is in there too, so I agree with youI don’t think too much is gonna changeBut you know I think there’s gonna be a warFor number two this year for full-size there might be I will say that I do thinkf-series is pretty safe becauseYou know whether we’re talkingcarbon-fiber composite beds or you know new grilles on the RAM or whatever new innovations, they have cookingI’m not sure if it’s gonna be enough to dethrone the f-series while that’s doing wellThey’re adding more features smaller features to it, but still I think they’ll be enough well, and we keep calling or warBut honestly this is my 2018 is just another battlebecause the war is gonna beContinued to go on and a lot of those things that you mentioned some of the innovations are expected to be kind of a tieredlaunchWhere they’ll continue to innovate the truck even if it’s not necessarily a mid-year refresh?Which we saw Ford do over so it tends to be transmission and different little redesigns that they did so I think the full-sizeIt’s gonna be fun to cover. It’s gonna be fun to watch and one for the desertAre we kind of looking crazy good stuff for consumers?Whether you’re a fan of Ford or GM or FCA you’re gonna have some pretty good options next year now you mentioned the Ranger really?Quick what about the midsize pickups how much do you think Ford is gonna come in at least?Toward the end the year in 2018 can they overtake GM overall for pickup sales, let’s say in2019 I don’t know that the Ranger I think the Rangers justessentially a play for a very hot segment that you want to get something out ofYou’re not looking to be the leader you’re not looking to dominate salesYou just want to get some piece of that pie because you throw anything in that segment, it’s gonna sellI don’t know anymore. I think they might be a little bit too late, butWe’ll have to wait and see like everything else there you goAlright, Mike. You know what we haven’t done in a whileMailbag segments, that’s true. We serve some great questions from last time, but we need more that’s right, soFriendly reminder to all of you to email us and weekend drive at crane com answer any and all questions you haveSo until then we’ll see you next week
