#using my lunch break well

First and pov for a wip of your own choosing pretty please 🙏

From the no excuses writing meme.

Thanks for asking, Alex! These are from the next installment of my black dog series. It's going to be the first story in that series to feature Bond dealing with depression.

First:

You’ve reached James Bond. Leave a message and— Q taps the button to end the call with more force than usual.

POV (Bond's because the fic is written in Q's):

Bond turns around. Q is standing only in his underwear, soaked through. Bond has no idea how long he's been there, though it must have been a couple of minutes at least because his body is pink with the shower's heat. At the sight of him, a fog begins to lift. "Take those off," he murmurs, nodding at Q's pants. "You're tired," argues Q. "You need—" "I'm not asking for sex." The very thought of getting hard at the moment is laughable. His whole body aches as if it's been put through a meat grinder. "Just come here," Bond insists. "I want to feel you, that's all."

Okay guys I know everyone is mourning rn, but I can't resist the call of analysis and overarching lore. So yeah what the fuck!

Apparently to move and keep people in a world, out of the one they originated from, it takes energy. Like,, a fucking lot of it. Fit has only been allowed to stay on quesadilla island for so long because Madagio has been using the remains of Vaccus island to do so.

That power requirement is fucking insane when you think about it. Fit's lore shows that it takes the remaining power of a whole other world, which the Federation destroyed into becoming a battery, for enough power to cover a single one year trip for one human.

Cutting Fit's journey short shows that Madagio places a lot of value in this power source. Nothing can be wasted. Moving world's/dimensions is an incredibly high risk and expensive thing.

WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND - My question now is... what the fuck have the other big entities, like the Federation, been using to tie down other qsmp characters??

Like we know damn well qPhilza, qFoolish, and qBad don't come from this world. Some dimensional or timeline fuckery is happening with them at the very least. My first thought is maybe their deities were involved with sourcing their travel, and that makes sense for some, but certainly not for everyone.

I'm willing to bet that many of these characters and people on the island come from entirely different worlds/servers. If that's true, that means Quesadilla Island a project that requires a vast amount of energy and purpose to fund.

The Federation was, for some reason, willing to spend its energy to move all of these specific people and that's interesting!!! I'm so curious about their selection process too, because these islanders got tickets /sent/ to them, some of which were personalized.

I think the Federation had a purpose for selecting, transporting, and trapping these people, much like Madagio had a purpose for Fit. After all, the reason Fit /needed/ Madagio to get on the island is because he didn't have a ticket from the Federation.

It's possible that the Feds covered the cost of at least some of these chosen islanders to hop dimensions. If that is the case, then WOW I'm incredibly interested in how they manage that. Maybe they’ve always used islands like Vaccus for that very purpose. Maybe its something we haven't seen before at all. Either way, that process clearly takes a fuck ton of energy to do.

10 Happy Things

May 26, 2024

Sermon today was so good (as always, this pastor never misses!)

Got lunch with some other uni students from church <3

Got microwaveable mac and cheese for dinner and let me just say. Live is worth living.

Bought some Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread from my normal grocery store for only $5 and it's so insanely good. Ate two slices on the walk home and I am strongly religious so believe this is no exaggeration when I say it made me thank God that the science of bread and our tastebuds exist. It's divine tasting and if you have not tried it, I highly recommend and am very sorry I cannot give some to everyone through this screen.

Drank water today yayyy

Finished memorizing the first chapter of Ephesians let's gooooo!!!

The way the ITSV score is done so beautifully. Daniel Pemberton deserved all the awards

A random old lady at church was talking with me by chance and she was like "I watched this movie Friday in theatres called Sight" and I was like "WAIT I WATCHED THAT YESTERDAY WITH A FRIEND" let's talk about how small the world is and how easily community can be greater than you can imagine

My body is working super duper good today! I am able to breathe and eat and smell and walk and think with hardly any interference!!! Wow!!!

I have the hope of seeing everyone I miss and that's just a very great treasure to have. What luxury, to love and have loved ones within an arm's reach (see: girl misses her mum, literally gonna see her in 4 days)

I like challenging the idea of hope as fragile but I don’t connect with the idea of hope as some kind of gritty fighter.

I think hope is more like the sun: A force of life that is always present, but not always visible.

Despite the clouds and rain, night and winter, the sun is the central source of energy on earth, and evidence of its presence is always there in our continued existence.

Even when we’re layering jackets in the coldest night of the new moon, the promise of unconditional warmth and light fuels us to seek it out where we are.

And in this way I think the reason hope comes across as fragile is because our grasp on it is fickle; In its rawest form it can be overwhelming and even painful to the point that we can’t hold it in our gaze. We have to experience it at a distance, filtered, through proxies to sense it at all, and so often lose sight of it, and approach it cautiously.

But I think it is worth fighting for. As living beings we are motivated by hope but complicated by context, and the challenge is to believe in hope while recognizing the struggles we undertake to bask in its warmth, including the times we turn away from it.

In essence, I don’t think hope fights for us, but we fight for it ☀️

mad about work but nobody to vent to 🥲

my life is messy in a way that's perfect for fanfiction inspiration tbh. i'm seeing a concert this weekend and i just got the email with the list of openers. and of course one of them is the band with the guitarist who was a childhood friend AND someone i hooked up with back in 2018 lsdkflsdjflsdkj

per my last reblog, I wanna let everyone know abt an adblocker option for mobile called blokada, which I use for my android but it appears to be available for ios as well.

[id: from the website, "Download Blockada. Blokada is available for several platforms, choose yours." platforms listed are Android, iOS, and Other. /end id]

the way it works is by filtering traffic essentially through a vpn (it is Not a vpn! that is a paid feature and my price range is Free Only). you can choose which apps you're comfortable having it check, so you can choose to exclude your banking app or whatever if you're concerned abt that.

[id: two screenshots of the app.

first image shows blokada is active and has blocked 290723 ads and trackers.

the second image shows the activity page, with most activity blocked. /end id]

this has greatly improved my tumblr experience by blocking impossible-to-scroll-past videos and the *checks notes* ...corpse images... that are being advertised. unfortunately it doesn't block sponsored posts, but that means you'll still be able to see blazed posts as well.

[id: two screenshots of my tumblr dash.

the first image shows a blank white "Sponsored" placeholder where an ad should be.

the second image shows a sponsored league of legends ad, which isn't blocked because the source is an actual tumblr blog. /end id]

highly recommend you give it a shot if the ads are bothering you. it's fairly easy to set up and p customisable.

can finally no longer put off the whole ‘workplace accommodations’ convo, so wish us luck with that one

Me using humor to disguise the fact that I am telling them how to do it correctly because customers can get so defensive if I point out they don’t know how to use their card’s new tap feature, and I kinda have to say something because they will get frustrated and start jousting at the reader with their card, and we just got new card-readers that actually work and I am not about to let someone break my brand-new easy-to-use card-reader just because they don’t want to admit that they have no idea how it works and need to be helped at least once to figure it out: “It’s more of a sit that a tap, haha.”
