8, 44, 49, 55 for delaney/johnny? :3
OBLIGATORY OTP ASKS
8. What happens if one of them gets sick?
they are both so bad at being sick! del gets so whiny and annoying and insists on being looked after (”i’m dying, johnny!”), and johnny honestly just becomes even bitchier if that’s possible. they probably argue about it. johnny will eventually cave though, especially once she passes out, and will dab her forehead with a cold cloth and keep a very close eye on her to see if she gets any worse. del just gives him a copious amount of ramen and pain killers because that’s how she thinks you get rid of a cold ajhdfgajs.
44. Who would dance in the kitchen making dinner? Would the other join in or watch from the doorway?
neither of them really cook, but del definitely dances around their apartment if her favourite song comes on. johnny will happily spectate until del catches him watching and tries to drag him over, and then the swearing and grumbling starts. most of the time though, he will end up dancing with her because even he can’t resist a good beat sometimes.
49. Does either of them have a hard time being away from the other?
yes! they are both so codependent and are basically attached at the hip even after they each get their own bodies back. del gets mopey whenever he’s away, and johnny tends to get a bit angry and snappish (or at least, more than usual) when she isn’t around. they had both grown to used to the others presence that not having it feels like having a limb detached. it’s why they’re hardly ever seen apart.
55. Do they like watching clouds or star gazing?
del does! night city isn’t the best place for it though, with all the pollution and lights, and she’d never actually seen the stars before her first trip out to the badlands. she loves sitting up late at night and just watching the stars, and maybe trying to make shapes in them. on that first trip outside the city, johnny for once goes quiet in her head and just flickers in beside her to watch the stars too.

Solarvine and nipnip
Saskia-Robin
ty!! i'll answer for venti :3
Solar Vine: What's your morning routine with your F/O?
he's the type to sleep in but he's also extremely clingy so I wake first and just enjoy the cuddles until he also wakes up (or I get hungry/uncomfy and wake him myself). then it's usually breakfast followed by us getting dressed & ready for the day! :3
NipNip: What do you and your F/O like to do to relax and unwind?
it's either going to the angel's share for drinks (wine typically for him and whatever nonalcoholic ones diluc's come up with for me) or going out to starsnatch cliff and playing each other music. another big one is going on flights together, it's always so calming!! :3

Devoted to You
I have fallen down the TR hole XD 
Here’s my first fic for this fandom, specially dedicated to the waifu @otome-smut-queen <3
A/N - please excuse any OOC-ness, I’ll get better, I promise *offers candy*
Devoted to You
Touken Ranbu
Heshikiri Hasebe x Aruji (OC - Saskia)
Warnings: Smut, fluff, call me by my name! XD
“Aruji, are you overworking yourself again?” Hasebe asked, letting himself into Saskia’s room. 
Saskia smirked, finishing tying her hair up, adjusting the ribbon to fit snugly on top of her head. “Just enough to get you to notice,” she said, winking at him. 
Hasebe huffed, sitting behind her and fussing with her hair. “It will not do you any good to overwork like this, you will just wear yourself out, and then I’d really have to make sure you’re resting.” He tied the ribbon again before resting his hands on her shoulders. 
Saskia blushed, hoping he wouldn’t take a glance in the mirror to see just how red her cheeks were. “H-Hasebe…”
“Yes, Aruji?” he responded, finally looking at her through the mirror, a blush now creeping up his cheeks. 
She turned around and cupped his cheeks, smiling softly at him. “If you insist that I rest, then you should, too.. with me?” 
Hasebe blushed even more, his cheeks almost matching the ribbon in her hair. “A-Aruji?!”
“Saskia,” she whispered, kissing him softly. “Call me Saskia.” 
He blinked a few times as he registered her lips on his, his arms already wrapping around her as he looked at her. “...Saskia…” 
She gasped softly as her name fell from his lips, her blush now competing with his as she kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck. 
He groaned as she deepened the kiss, helping her to settle on his lap as he let his hands start to roam her body, ghosting over the shape of her breasts and down her abdomen. “Aruji, let me take care of you,” he said, tugging at the obi cord around her waist. 
Saskia whimpered at his words, nodding as she brought her hand to meet his, guiding his hand away as the obi came undone. The cord fell away from his fingers, the kimono now hanging open for him to see. 
Hasebe swallowed as he hesitantly hovered his fingers over the edge of her kimono, barely touching her skin. “Saskia..” he said, a pleading tone in his voice. 
“Hasebe, please,” she whimpered, leaning forward just enough to get his hand to touch her skin. 
He gasped as their lips met again, groaning as he felt the warmth of her body spread through his hand. He pushed the kimono off of her, exposing her naked body that hid underneath. He ran his tongue along her lips, begging for entrance as he cupped her breasts, rolling her nipples between his fingers. 
She whimpered as she parted her lips for him, his tongue eagerly sliding in as if to learn each part of her. She was so soft and smooth, and she seemed to fit so perfectly against him. He groaned as he felt her hips roll towards him, her juices already soaking through the fabric of his pants. 
“Hasebe, I need you,” she said, unzipping his jacket and swiftly tugging his shirt up and over his head. He blinked as she gently pushed his shoulders down, making him lay flat on the tatami floor. She began to kiss her way down his chest, her hands already grasping at the top of his pants and pulling them off. 
“A-Aruji!” he stuttered, his blush returning in full force. He looked down at her with wide eyes as she wrapped her hand around his cock, licking him from base to tip. 
He groaned as he watched her slowly taking in all of his length into her mouth, a hand coming to brush her green hair to the side so it wouldn’t get in her way. He bucked his hips in time with the bobbing of her head, his resolve almost breaking when she glanced up at him. 
“Aruji! Saskia! Please,” he grunted, gently pushing her off and then flipping her, laying her down gently on the floor.
Saskia squeaked as she came off of him with a “pop”, and in the next breath she was already looking up at Hasebe, his eyes hungry yet soft and gentle at the same time. He licked his lips before diving in for a heated kiss, eliciting a soft moan from her as his fingers wandered down to tease at her folds. 
“Ah.. Hasebe..” she moaned his name, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. “I need you inside me!” 
“As you wish, Saskia,” he said huskily, lifting her legs as he pushed his cock inside. 
She let out a long, breathy moan as she began to feel so full of him, her walls already clenching down as if to keep him inside for as long as he could. She reached her arms out to him. “I need you to move, Hasebe. Please..”
Hasebe gently lowered her legs but kept them wide, leaning forward to let her arms wrap around him again as he pressed their foreheads together, starting a slow rhythm, groaning as he felt every inch of her wrapped snugly around his cock. 
“I won’t break, Hasebe,” she chuckled, wrapping her legs around his waist. “I want you to make love to me, make me yours.” 
“Saskia, your words,” he grunted, picking up the pace. 
“Gods, yes!” Saskia moaned, throwing her head back. “I’ve wanted this for so long!” 
“If you want me to make you mine, then I’ll be yours too,” he said. “I’ll devote every single minute to you.” 
She nodded her head furiously, feeling the coil inside her tighten. “Yours, mine, just please don’t stop!” 
He picked up the pace as he began slamming his hips into her, the lewd sounds filling the room, anyone passing by would know exactly what they were doing. He brought a hand down to play with her clit, grunting as he felt her immediately clench tightly around him. 
“Hasebe… I’m going to..” she whimpered. 
“Let me feel you, Saskia. I want to feel all of you. Cum for me, please!” he said, lifting her hips to hit her deep inside, his cock twitching as he watched for her coil to snap around him. 
She came with a loud moan, his name falling from her lips over and over again as her walls convulsed around him, desperately trying to rock her hips against him.
Hasebe groaned loudly as he felt her squeeze down on his cock, finally letting go as they fell off the proverbial cliff together. He thrust into her one last time with finality, his cock throbbing as he filled her. Sweat dripped down the side of his face as he gripped at her hips, sure to leave bruises there that would show soon enough. “Aruji…”
“Saskia,” she chuckled, cupping his face. “Saskia is my name.”
“Saskia,” he said, leaning into her touch. “You make me so happy.”
“You do too.” She smiled brightly at him. “Will you stay for a while?”
Hasebe returned her smile with one of his own. “Of course. I’ll stay for as long as you’ll have me.”
Hasebe ended up staying with Saskia for the next few days after that. As they promised, they devoted their lives to each other, their sweet, budding romance finally blooming into a long-awaited love that would be the talk of the citadel for quite some time.

the dance that’s not a dance
This is is extremely late so it has failed in its purpose but was originally meant to be a ‘feel better soon!’ gift for the loveliest @briarfox13. Just a small tiny bit of her gorgeous and wonderful Saskia with her spiky boye Garrus Vakarian. It was originally meant to be just fluff but is really a very random hurt/comfort with some cuteness thrown in. Hope it’s a little heartwarming! I’m way too attached to these kids.
Title: the dance that’s not a dance
Fandom: Mass Effect
Pairing: Saskia Shepard/Garrus Vakarian
Rating: PG
Summary: Saskia is feeling unwell after Project Overlord. Garrus is there for her, as always.
Notes: Set after Project Overlord in a post-suicide mission/pre-Arrival ME2 timeline. Includes implications of anxiety, PTSD and characters being very upset. Really a bit of a ramble because I can never stick to what I initially want things to be. I hope it does the characters some justice <3
 Her knees are shaking, so she makes sure to stand instead of seeking the comfort of sitting. The shuttle ride is silent with the weight of what has just taken place, and she looks straight ahead of her, unwilling to even glance at the sight of Aite fading on the screen. Miranda is at the front of the shuttle, focused on a datapad as she usually is, despite having no one to forward reports to anymore, looking mildly nauseated.
Garrus is pacing, and Saskia shuts her eyes because no one can see her face, and she listens to the rhythm of his footsteps and tries to match her breathing to him.
She doesn’t know how this can feel worse than facing the Collectors, but whatever residual taste of triumph she had from that has turned into ash on her tongue. The cruelty of Gavin Archer feels monstrous, and Saskia will never forget the look in David’s eyes before he was taken aboard the Grissom Academy’s shuttle. She’ll never forget how Cerberus enabled this experiment, and if she hadn’t already cut ties with the Illusive Man she would go hunting for him right now just to spit in his face.
They’ve been tying loose ends in the wake of their victory over the Collectors, but she’d never expected this mission to take such a toll. She feels exhausted, her heartbeat loud and frantic in her ears, David’s screams still playing over and over in her head. She knows that she shouldn’t let it affect her this much, but she can’t stop it, the stress of the past few months finally using this opportunity to hit her all at once, and the horror of Project Overlord making her skin crawl. She’s struggling to catch her breath without anyone noticing, but she can’t and it reminds her too much of being unable to breathe in the vastness of space over Alchera, and that makes her chest feel heavy with dread. She’s holding on so tightly to the railing above her head that her entire arm is slowly going numb, but she refuses to turn, she refuses to sit down, because she doesn’t want anyone to see the panic on her face.
The shuttle shudders through turbulence and then Garrus is right there, right behind her, his hand next to hers on the railing. He’s not touching her but he’s a solid presence within reach and he hums something almost too low for her to catch, and she focuses on that and draws a shaky breath, and then another, and another. The small amount of space between them is filled with hesitation, and Saskia knows it’s because the change in their relationship is so new, and neither of them can figure out where the boundaries are now. There was no time to talk things through in the aftermath of the Collector base, the break with Cerberus adding a new layer of urgency to the remaining missions, and Saskia knows they’ve both been treading carefully around each other, but she doesn’t have the patience for that now. No one is watching them, so she lets herself lean ever so slightly against him, letting him carry some of her weight, and of course he doesn’t even falter, moving closer in response, the hand he has on the railing now also touching hers, their armour clinking together.
She focuses on him, and his strength reminds him of her own. She focuses on him, and she tries to remember all the words to the Russian lullaby her grandmother used to comfort her with, so long ago, and before she knows it the Normandy is in sight and her shoulders sag with relief. Garrus makes another low noise, his hand brushing against hers causing another clink, and she doesn’t need to look at him to communicate to him that she’s alright now. They move further apart before Miranda looks up again, and they walk off the shuttle together, as in sync as always.
*
Later, when Saskia is reading over the dossier for the next mission instead of sleeping, Garrus walks boldly through the door without knocking and then stops like the daring action has suddenly and belatedly caught up with him. Saskia looks at him and tries not to laugh at the panic in his eyes. Her gaze drifts to the way he’s crossed his arms behind his back, holding something out of her sight, and when she smiles at him he remembers to move.
‘Liara told me this is your favourite,’ Garrus says, handing her a bar of chocolate she never noticed him purchasing. ‘She also said to remind you that it tastes like toothpaste and that she judges you for it.’
Saskia laughs, holding on to the chocolate like it’s priceless, the scent of mint as comforting to her as ever. Garrus’ eyes are as soft and expressive as they always are when he looks at her, and for the thousandth time she wonders how she never noticed this sooner.
‘You asked Liara about my taste in chocolate?’ she asks, because the air between them is full of meaning and anticipation and she doesn’t yet know how to react. She keeps getting distracted by remembering the warmth of him, the way her skin’s pallor seemed to almost glow next to him, the way he looked at her when she pressed her forehead to his.
‘I know your taste in chocolate, but I wanted to keep the best option around in case of emergencies,’ he says, his voice warm like heated metal, and she shivers. She’d been cold before he’d walked in, but now she doesn’t remember what cold is.
‘And this is an emergency?’ Saskia asks, her voice stumbling over her breath, and she doesn’t even feel embarrassed because it’s just the two of them and she’s never felt more like herself than when she’s with him. She wonders if he knows, wonders how to put it in words, but he keeps looking at her like she’s something amazing, like he’s never seen a better sight, and she remembers that they’ve never really needed words.
Garrus reaches a hand towards her in lieu of a reply, and she tangles her fingers with his in a way that’s never felt clumsy despite the differences between them. Saskia lets him lift her from her seat at her desk and he draws her into an embrace and she leans against him properly this time, and he holds her, and just like that the tension that’s been coiling in her shoulders is gone. Just like that, he soothes her, and she hopes with almost desperate fervour that she does the same for him.
When he starts moving, Saskia doesn’t immediately take notice of his intentions. It’s a very gentle sway, like they’re back on the shuttle and adapting to its movement, but then it becomes more intentional, his hands on the small of her back guiding her into a few stumbled steps that she recognises as a semblance of a dance.
‘Garrus, what-’
He hushes her by pressing his forehead to hers, and then haltingly guides her in a circle around the room. Neither of them are very good at this, their bodies resisting each other’s movement in a way they never have before, but it’s slow and sweet and Saskia keeps looking at him instead of focusing on how clumsy and hopeless she is when it comes to dancing. She kisses his scarred mandible and laughs when the gesture makes him stop in his tracks like he’s forgotten how to move entirely. The way he looks at her makes her heart flutter and she kisses him again because she doesn’t know how else to express the warmth glowing like a star behind her ribs. She lets her lips linger over his scars and he holds on to her even tighter, leaving no space between them. He’s in plainclothes rather than armour, so she’s fully aware of the warmth of him and it makes her forget how to breathe.
He’s frozen in place, and Saskia holds on to him in reply, her arms looped around him, and this time she’s the one who leads them into a dance that’s not truly a dance. It’s not about the steps, it’s about being close, it’s about comfort, it’s about them, and Saskia moves with him and laughs again, feeling more weightless than she has in months.

🧱, 🤝, 🐱, ✨, 🙏 for juliana? :D
headcanon meme
[ 🧱 ] how would you describe your muses’ morality? what are their core values?
juliana has quite traditional opinions around duty and honour and gender roles, and this governs a lot of her values throughout her life. even as a young girl she would have done near about anything to serve or protect her family, and this loyalty shifts to aemond and his family once she is married. she is, at her core, a kind girl, but she also does not blink an eye at aegon usurping rhaenyra because, in her mind at least, it is his right as viserys’ first born son. she is very hypocritical and trapped within the system in that regard. after her betrothal to aemond and spending more time with alicent she also becomes quite devout, which is dangerous within itself.
[ 🤝 ] how does your muse approach intimacy? are they hesitant, or do they like it? what types of intimacy do they like and dislike? (ex. physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.)
hesitantly. she is definitely her father’s daughter in that regard, and is not one for any outward displays of affection or intimacy, especially not in public. it’s improper, for starters, and she also prefers to keep a layer of protection between herself and others. with aemond she is a bit more open, in part because she know it’s her duty to be a good wife to him but also because she does genuinely come to love him, but there is still a distance there. as she gets older and more comfortable in her skin she does learn to find the pleasure in intimacy, but there will always be a level of coldness to juliana.
[ 🐱 ] does your muse have pets? did they have pets as a child? how do they feel about animals?
answered here!
[ ✨ ] what aesthetics or symbols do you reference when writing your muse? are these backed up by canon, if your muse comes from a canon? is there any specific relevance to these choices?
ravens as a signal of a coming death, darkness flecked with gold, makeup smudged from tears, corsets as armour, stag antlers, gold filigree, archery.
[ 🙏 ] what does your muse need? this can be something material or something abstract.
she needs a duty or cause, something to commit herself to. she needs understanding and quiet. she needs someone to look at her and tell her she is a good daughter or wife or lady of the court. she needs validation.

Nu, glam, idol!
Saskia-Robin
ty i'll answer for astarion :3
nu metal: does f/o communicate more with words or actions? how about s/i?
he's a little of both. he's very good with his words (at least when it comes to compliments) but I feel that his actions would show more of his true feelings (i.e. him protecting me during battle). As for me, again it's both. I like verbally showing my appreciation but also will show that through action as well.
glam metal: does s/i steal clothes from f/o or the other way around?
i could see this going both ways given that we'd likely be similar sizes. more often it's me stealing his clothes though ^^
idol metal: what's something s/i does that f/o finds cute or endearing? the other way around?
he'd find a lot endearing honestly... but one thing in particular is how I'll hum when I'm doing something else (aka any busy work that doesn't require a lot of thought). for him, his expressions whenever I call him a pet name. he's still getting used to being loved like this and he always looks so soft when I call him something cute :3

Công đoàn trong luật Lao động mới có thật sự độc lập?
(bởi adminTD, 14/12/2019)
Ca Dao, 14-12-2019
(truy cập từ https://baotiengdan.com/2019/12/14/cong-doan-trong-luat-lao-dong-moi-co-that-su-doc-lap/)
                        )
 Ngày 20/11/2019, bộ luật Lao động mới đã được thông qua trong kỳ họp thứ 8 của quốc hội thứ 14 với 90,06% đại biểu tán thành.
Bộ luật Lao động được sửa đổi theo luật Lao động năm 2012, sẽ áp dụng từ ngày 1/1/2021, báo chí nhà nước đưa ra 10 điểm đáng chú ý:
1. Tăng tuổi nghỉ hưu lên 62 tuổi với nam, 60 tuổi với nữ.
2. Quốc khánh được nghỉ 2 ngày.
3. Tăng thời giờ làm thêm theo tháng lên 40 giờ.
4. Cấm tuyển dụng lao động với mục đích mua bán người.
5. Mở rộng phạm vi và đối tượng điều chỉnh.
6. Đơn phương chấm dứt hợp đồng không cần lý do.
7. Ghi nhận hình thức hợp đồng lao động điện tử.
8. Đối thoại định kỳ tại nơi làm việc 1 năm/lần.
9. Không can thiệp trực tiếp vào tiền lương của doanh nghiệp.
10. Được ký hợp đồng lao động xác định thời hạn nhiều lần với người cao tuổi.
Nhưng báo chí nhà nước không nhắc gì đến một thay đổi quan trọng mà đó mới chính là nguyên nhân của việc sửa đổi lại bộ luật Lao động này: Đó là sự xuất hiện của cụm từ “tổ chức đại diện người lao động” ở chương thứ XIII của bản dự thảo.
Bộ luật Lao động mới gồm 17 chương và 220 điều.
Chương XIII gồm có 8 điều: Bên cạnh tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam (một công đoàn hợp pháp của nhà nước Việt Nam) xuất hiện một tổ chức công đoàn khác mang tên “tổ chức đại diện người lao động” Trong đó, điều 170 quy định: “Quyền thành lập, gia nhập và tham gia hoạt động của tổ chức đại diện người lao động tại cơ sở” như sau:
“1. Người lao động có quyền thành lập, gia nhập và hoạt động công đoàn theo quy định của luật Công đoàn.
2. Người lao động trong doanh nghiệp có quyền thành lập, gia nhập và tham gia hoạt động của tổ chức của người lao động tại doanh nghiệp theo quy định tại các điều 172, 173 và 174 của bộ luật này”.
Rằng vui thì thật là vui
Một số mạng truyền thông hồ hởi đưa tin: Việt Nam đã cho phép thành lập công đoàn Độc lập, Hoa Kỳ chúc mừng Việt Nam đã có một cải cách lịch sử v.v… Một số người hoạt động nhân quyền trong nước reo vui dù vẫn cẩn thận chờ đợi xem Việt Nam có áp dụng hay không?
Nhưng: Rằng vui thì thật là vui,
Nghe qua ngậm đắng nuốt cay thế nào
(nhái Kiều).
Quả đúng vậy, cái vui chưa kịp trọn vẹn thì cái nghẹn ập tới ở khoản 2 điều 170:
“Người lao động trong doanh nghiệp có quyền thành lập, gia nhập và tham gia hoạt động của tổ chức của người lao động tại doanh nghiệp theo quy định tại các điều 172, 173 và 174 của bộ luật này”.
Điều 172, 173 và 174 nói gì?
Nói rằng: Việc thành lập chỉ được hợp pháp sau khi được chính phủ cấp đăng ký.
Nói rằng: Trình tự, thủ tục đăng ký, số lượng thành viên, liên kết sẽ do chính phủ quy định.
Nếu chính phủ xen vào nội quy, hoạt động của công đoàn thì liệu công đoàn đó có giữ được tính độc lập của mình?
Trong toàn bộ văn bản luật Lao động mới, người ta không tìm thấy được một chữ “độc lập” nào cả, và người ta cũng không nhận thấy được tính “độc lập” của cái gọi là “tổ chức của người lao động” trong bộ luật mới này.
Công đoàn theo đúng hệ thống công đoàn quốc tế phải là một tổ chức độc lập: không lệ thuộc vào chính quyền, cũng không lê thuộc vào chủ sử dụng lao động.
Ngân quỹ hoạt động của tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam hiện tại đóng góp từ 1% tiền lương người lao động, 2% từ chủ sử dụng lao động, và từ ngân sách nhà nước; cán bộ tổng liên đoàn lao động VN là những cán bộ cấp cao trong công ty. Do những liên hệ này, tổng liên đoàn lao động VN không thể nào hoàn toàn độc lập để đại diện cho công nhân đòi hỏi quyền lợi cả. Cụ thể là 6.000 cuộc đình công từ năm 1992 cho đến nay hoàn toàn do sự tự phát của công nhân. Tổng liên đoàn lao động VN chưa hề thực hiện được cuộc biểu tình nào cho công nhân.
Hơn nữa, khoản 1 và 4 trong điều 172 ghi nhận: Chính phủ là cơ quan có thẩm quyền cấp giấy phép hoạt động của tổ chức người lao động, điều này đi ngược với sự vận hành của các nghiệp đoàn tự do trên thế giới: Theo điều 2 của ILO (bộ phận phụ trách về lao động của Liên hiệp quốc) thì các công đoàn độc lập đương nhiên có quyền được thành lập và hoạt động mà không cần phải xin phép trước, việc đăng ký chỉ là một thủ tục hành chánh.
Nhà nước không có quyền loại bỏ sự hiện hữu của công đoàn này. Có thể so sánh với trường hợp một đứa bé mới sinh ra, việc đăng ký và làm khai sinh cho đứa bé chỉ là một thủ tục hành chính, nhà nước không có quyền nói “không” khi cha mẹ đi đăng ký khai sinh, cũng như không thể không chấp nhận sự hiện hữu của đứa bé trên trái đất này.
Bất cập và mơ hồ
Những điều bất cập trong bộ luật lao động mới:
Tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam bị chi phối bởi luật Cộng đoàn: Điều 1 của luật công đoàn và điều 10 của hiến pháp Việt Nam quy định, công đoàn là một tổ chức chính trị, nằm trong mặt trận tổ quốc, hoạt động dưới sự chỉ đạo của đảng cộng sản.
Vậy tổ chức đại diện người lao động sẽ hoạt động theo luật nào? Nếu theo bộ luật công đoàn hiện hành thì rõ ràng nó sẽ phải là một công cụ tuyên truyền của đảng cộng sản Việt Nam, phải hoạt động dưới sự chỉ đạo của đảng, phải nằm trong mặt trận tổ quốc và như thế dĩ nhiên sẽ không còn tính độc lập.
Theo điều 3.1 của ILO, những công đoàn độc lập có quyền soạn nội quy riêng cho mình và các thành viên chỉ tuân thủ theo nội quy của tổ chức mình. Nếu tổ chức đại diện người lao động lập ra một bộ luật công đoàn riêng cho mình, liệu chính phủ có can thiệp như khoản 4 điều 172 trong bộ luật Lao động mới?
Ngoài ra, có 2 chi tiết nhỏ cần chú ý:
– Ngoài điều 170, luật Lao động dùng cụm từ “tổ chức đại diện người lao động”, nhưng từ điều 171 trở đi, chữ “đại diện” đã biến mất, chỉ còn cụm từ “tổ chức của người lao động”.
– Bộ luật Lao động mới tránh dùng chữ “công đoàn” hay “nghiệp đoàn”, mà dùng thuật ngữ: “tổ chức đại diện người lao động”.
Họ chỉ dùng chữ “công đoàn” khi ám chỉ tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam. Trong khi chữ “công đoàn” là một danh từ chung, giống như chữ “nghiệp đoàn” để ám chỉ tất cả những tổ chức đại diện cho công nhân.
Hai thiếu sót này là một sự vô tình hay cố ý để sau này dùng những thuật ngữ mơ hồ kết tội những người muốn thành lập công đoàn độc lập?
Vẫn chưa có luật biểu tình
Ở các nước dân chủ: những cuộc đình công thường đi đôi với biểu tình. Đình công là để phản đối quyết định của giới chủ, để đòi hỏi quyền lợi cho công nhân. Biểu tình là để thể hiện cho xã hội thấy mong muốn của người xuống đường, để gây áp lực bên cạnh những thương thuyết giữa chủ và công nhân.
Nhưng bộ luật Lao động mới vẫn còn rụt rè với luật Biểu tình.
Mục 5 của bộ luật mới chỉ cho phép đình công với những thủ tục nhiêu khê và có cả sự can thiệp của chính phủ, nhưng biểu tình vẫn còn là một cụm từ nhạy cảm.
Nhà nước XHCN VN vẫn coi các công đoàn độc lập là một mối đe doạ, họ luôn luôn bị ám ảnh bởi công đoàn Solidanos sẽ trở thành một cuộc cách mạng như ở Ba Lan. Vì thế, đình công thì được, nhưng biểu tình thì không! Cơn ác mộng của họ là hàng trăm ngàn người xuống đường sẽ làm lung lay chế độ!
Vì thế bộ luật Lao động mới có điều 210 khoản 1 như sau: “Khi xét thấy cuộc đình công có nguy cơ gây thiệt hại nghiêm trọng cho nền kinh tế quốc dân, lợi ích công cộng, đe dọa đến an ninh, quốc phòng, sức khỏe, trật tự công cộng thì chủ tịch ủy ban nhân dân cấp tỉnh quyết định hoãn hoặc ngừng đình công”.
Như thế, mọi cuộc tụ tập – dù là đi xe đạp hàng đôi như bà Bùi Thị Minh Hằng – cũng có thể bị coi là phá rối trật tự công cộng, hay hơn nữa: đe doạ đến an nình quốc phòng.
Những cánh cửa dẫn đến nhà tù?
Hà Nội cho phép thành lập “tổ chức đại diện người lao động” để trấn an thế giới, nhưng bên cạnh đó, bộ luật Lao động mới vẫn treo hai sợi dây thòng lọng vô cùng nguy hiểm:
– Điều 174, khoản 9: Chính phủ quy định chi tiết điều này.
– Điều 178, khoản 8: Các quyền khác theo quy định của pháp luật.
Với những điều khoản mở ngỏ như thế này sẽ tạo cho nhà nước những khoảng trống vô tận để xen vào và cản trở tất cả mọi hoạt động của các công đoàn độc lập mới nhen nhúm.
Thiện chí của Hà Nội?
Một điều cần rõ ràng là việc nhà nước VN sửa đổi luật Lao động hoàn toàn không phải tự nguyện, hoàn toàn không phải vì lợi ích của người lao động mà là vì phải thực hiện các điều khoản đòi hỏi trong hai hiệp định thương mại sẽ đem lại rất nhiều lợi nhuận cho Việt Nam: hiệp thương CPTPP và EVFTA.
Sau khi tham gia ILO, Việt Nam đã ký 21 công ước, nhưng vẫn còn 3 công ước quan trọng chưa ký là công ước 87 (quyền tự do lập hội và quyền bảo vệ tổ chức) công ước 98 (quyền thương lượng tập thể) và công ước 105 (chống cưỡng bức lao động) mà đó là những điều khoản mà CPTPP và EVFTA bắt buộc VN phải cam kết thúc đẩy và thực hiện.
Để làm hài lòng uỷ ban thương mại EU, Hà Nội vội vã thông qua công ước 98 ngày 14/6 và thế là ngày 30/6 Viêt Nam và EU đặt bút ký thoả thuận EVFTA.
Việc thông qua bộ luật Lao động mới này cũng là để xoa dịu những cặp mắt của các tổ chức nhân quyền, các dân biểu nghị sỹ EU, các tổ chức xã hội dân sự độc lập đang soi rọi vào hai chữ “nhân quyền” tại Việt Nam.
Vẫn với những chiêu trò ma-mãnh, một lần nữa Hà Nội muốn qua mặt thế giới bằng bộ luật mới này. Thế nhưng, “cái áo không làm nên thầy tu”. EU không phải là Việt Nam nên vẫn có những dân biểu, nghị sỹ nhìn xuyên suốt qua bộ mặt gian xảo của cộng sản Việt Nam. Một vài thí dụ:
– Dân biểu EU (Bỉ), bà Saskia Bricmont, đòi: Hãy đổi luật Hình sự trước khi thay đổi luật Lao động.
– Dân biểu EU (Pháp), ông Emmanuel Maural, cũng đã nhận xét: Việt Nam thông qua công ước 98, nhưng không thông qua công ước 87 thì không có một ý nghĩa nào cả! Nếu không có công đoàn độc lập thì ai sẽ là người đại diện để thương lượng với giới chủ?
– Dân biểu EU (Đức), Irina Von Weise, nói rằng: Cần nêu câu hỏi về sự độc lập của tổ chức đại diện người lao động khi mà điều 172 cho thấy tổ chức của người lao động này bị chính phủ chi phối.
Tại sao không cho liên kết?
Luật Lao động mới chỉ cho thành lập “tổ chức của người lao động” tại cơ sở, nhưng không cho họ liên kết giữa các công ty với nhau (khoản 4 điều 172). Điều đó có nghĩa là họ cho thành lập, nhưng không cho phát triển, không muốn cho đứa bé sinh ra được lớn mạnh. Hà Nội đánh tiếng là đến năm 2023 mới thông qua công ước 87 của ILO, tức là quyền được liên kết.
Nếu không liên kết thì các tổ chức này sẽ không mạnh, và nếu không mạnh thì việc thương lượng với giới chủ sẽ khó thành công, và như thế, sẽ không cạnh tranh được với tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam với 10,5 triệu thành viên.
Những điều sẽ đến
Sau khi qua được ngưỡng cửa CTPP và EVFTA rồi, nhà nước Việt Nam sẽ làm gì? Điều này không khó để đoán:
– Nhà nước Việt Nam sẽ đưa ra một số luật mới dưới bộ luật Lao động, một số nghị định mới để bổ sung cho bộ luật Lao động này với mục đích giới hạn sự phát triển của các tổ chức của người lao động.
– Những người hoạt động tin tưởng vào “thiện chí” của Hà Nội mon men thành lập nghiệp đoàn sẽ bị gán vào tội “có âm mưu chính trị” qua các nghị định này.
– Những cuộc biểu tình đều sẽ bị kết vào tội làm mất trật tự an ninh, do thế lực thù địch xúi dục hoặc những mục tiêu chính trị khác.
– Và một điều chắc chắn sẽ xảy ra: hàng ngàn công đoàn cơ sở (thuộc tổng liên đoàn lao động VN) sẽ chuyển mình thành cái gọi là “tổ chức đại diện người lao động”.
Hoặc chính tổng liên đoàn lao động Việt Nam sẽ liên kết với chủ sử dụng lao động để thành lập “tổ chức của người lao động” tại các cơ sở.
Và như thế sẽ có hàng ngàn, thậm chí hàng chục ngàn “công đoàn quốc doanh” sẽ ra đời, cũng như những tôn giáo quốc doanh đang hoạt động hợp pháp tại Việt Nam.
Những “công đoàn quốc doanh” này cũng tương tự như những công đoàn vàng” (syndicats jaunes/yellow unions) cuối thế kỷ 19, là những công đoàn giả hiệu do chủ sử dụng lao động thành lập.
Quốc tế có thể không khờ dại để không nhìn thấy những điều đó, nhưng vì những lý do kinh tế, chính trị, họ phải làm ngơ. Việt Nam biết điều đó nên tiếp tục dùng những trò ma mị để xoa dịu quốc tế.
Nhưng may mắn trong những thế chế dân chủ vẫn còn có những cá nhân, những cơ quan thật sự độc lập sẵn sàng lắng nghe chúng ta.
Những người hoạt động nhân quyền, những tổ chức xã hội dân sự độc lập sẽ là mắt nhìn, tai nghe để tiếp tục vạch trần những thủ đoạn dối trá của nhà cầm quyền XHCN VN ra trước công luận quốc tế.

3, 12, 18, 41, 42 for delaney/johnny and lyssa/bucky 🤓
3. how do their friends feel about their relationship?
delaney/johnny — i feel like most of del’s friends were incredibly skeptical. vik and panam were both less than happy about the development, especially panam who saw how badly johnny leaving del in the direct aftermath of mikoshi fucked with her. judy and misty were much more open to the idea, and kerry was caught in this weird spae of being close friends with both of them but knowing neither of them were particularly healthy people ahdfsgjfgsd. it takes a while for most of del’s friends to warm up to johnny, and there’s always a certain level of uncertainty with people like vik and panam. 
lyssa/bucky — most of their friends are pretty supportive of the idea. most of their inner circle (steve, nat, sam) had seen it coming a mile off and were excited for them, whereas it was a bit of a shock to some of their less close friends. tony wasn’t happy about it just for the sake of causing drama. livia was very excited to finally get the chance to talk about lyssa’s love life! 
12. how do they act in public vs in private?
delaney/johnny — pretty much the same, maybe a tiny bit softer in private. johnny gets stuck in this weird mindset where he feels like he needs to put on a bit of a facade i public, whereas in private he can let himself be vulnerable with del. there’s definitely no shame with these two about pda or being overly overt about their relationship in public though - anyone who comes within a certain radius of them will easily be able to tell their in a relationship.
lyssa/bucky — much more reserved in public! bucky likes his privacy and the old man in him likes to reserve all his proper affection for in private. lyssa isn’t too fussed either way, but is more than willing to go along with whatever bucky wants. 
18. how long was their flirting phase?
delaney/johnny — fairly long. they didn’t become an official couple until about 6~7 months post game, because johnny was an emotionally constipated asshole who ran away the second he got his body back, and del was so depressed and death-ridden that she left night city with panam to get some sun and fresh air. even when they reunite there’s a lot of fighting and flirting before they eventually reconcile. 
lyssa/bucky — most of the time they spent together before the snap was just as friends, with maybe some internal attraction brewing but no actual flirting. bucky was focused on healing his mind, and lyssa was didn’t want to interrupt or overstep. once things go back to some semblance of normal and they both realise that there’s more than friendship between them (or at least, the potential for it) the flirting starts. in all honesty, they make the shift from friends to partners pretty quickly. 
41. how do their flaws clash?
delaney/johnny — terribly! they are both so fucked up and have such toxic coping mechanisms! its a mess! johnny is self destructive and arrogant and selfish, and del is prone to vices and needy and far too quick to bite back. it takes them a long time to find a place where they’re not just ruining each other more, takes a long time to unlearn some bad habits and accept a good thing when its given to them. 
lyssa/bucky — both of them tend to carry guilt and hide within themselves a little, which was a bit of a problem in the beginning when neither of them were very inclined to open up, but lyssa’s stubborness and bucky’s curiosity eventually got the better of them. apart from that, they’re pretty similar and don’t tend to clash too much.
42. why do you enjoy writing them?
delaney/johnny — cause they’re an absolute mess adhfhfd. they’re codependent and fight constantly but also love each other so much. it’s a fun combination!
lyssa/bucky — because they’ve both spent their entire lives as tools to be used and cause destruction, and are both trying to learn what it means to be soft and loved and have room to rest.

12, 23, 39, 40 for nuala & maggie :3
12. how skilled at lying is your oc? how frequently do they lie? for what reason? what situations would be the exception?
nuala - she’s an exceptional liar, and in general is really good at guiding a conversation to suit her needs (or distract whoever she’s talking to from the truth), although she tries not to lie too often. she sometimes finds herself slipping back into old habits and lying to her friends, but she does her best to only do it when it will further the inquisition’s goals or against her enemies. (it’s part of why she was so broken up about solas having lied to her for so long - she thought she was an expert at being able to tell when she was being lied to. obviously not).
maggie - she’s an okay liar, but tends to lean more towards the blunt truth than lies. one thing maggie’s found over her life is that the truth can often do more damage than a lie, and she learnt to weaponsie that young. also, her parents spent most of her childhood lying to her, and the last thing she wants is to inherit anymore poison from them than she already has. 
23. what is the most annoying sound to your oc? what’s the most pleasant? is there any reason?
nuala - she hates the chantry songs that the priests will sing sometimes around skyhold, because it’s just another reminder of how much she despises the whole institution and all it stands for. favourite sounds would be a small brook running through the forset, or the rolling of thunder in the distance.
maggie - nails on a chalkboard, or anything similar. it drives her absolutely nuts. also, people who crack their knuckles. she loves the sound paint makes across a blank canvas, or the sound of an engine roaring to life.
39. how superstitious your oc? do they end up following them ‘just in case’? or are superstitions incredibly important to your oc? what are some that they believe? what about the ones they don’t?
nuala - she’s not really that superstitious, despite being raised in an environment where superstitions were a really important part of the dalish culture. over the years, and in the aftermath of solas leaving with the anchor, she falls back on a few - silly old wives tales about the glow of a wolf’s eyes in the dark, of the crack of lighting over water, of the flash of green that suposedly appears just before the sun sets. 
maggie - nope. her parents were crazy superstitious and so maggie is the complete opposite, rejecting any and all superstitions as stupid. she refuses to believe that all the creepy or weird stuff that happens in the world doesn’t have an explanation - honestly, she thinks most superstitions came about from either fucked up religious ideology, or drugs, or both.
40. are there any habits your oc has picked up from people around them? do they know where they’re from? does your oc try to stop themselves from doing it?
nuala - she doesn’t tend to adopt other peoples habits that much, being as stubborn as she is, but there are a few little things that she picks up. spending so much time with dorian makes her start using bookmarks instead of just dog earring everything, and she begins to question more of the people and world around her after talking so often with solas. i don’t think she’d even notice the changes.
maggie- she’s very much her own person and doesn’t like to let herself be moulded or changed by others too much, so not really. if she ever realised she’d picked up someone else’s habit, she’d probably forcefully stop herself from doing it.
