Confession #250

[soapdispensersalesman]

idk how to properly put this into words but this is what I miss about advertising; There used to be some sort of element of "flirting" with the consumer there (colour and design wise), now everything feels either very in your face or is just plain static.

Like bruh I saw these when I lived in Berlin what is this

The whole "Gen Z neon aesthetic" is also not really my thing personally

Eine erste Pfandschüssel in unserem Haushalt

Seit Jahresanfang gelten in Deutschland neue Vorgaben für Mehrwegverpackungen für Essen und Getränke, die geliefert oder mitgenommen werden. Prinzipiell sind nun alle Geschäfte verpflichtet, dafür Mehrwegverpackungen anzubieten, aber wie üblich, sind die Details unübersichtlich. Es gibt mehrere Anbieter für solches Geschirr und Ausnahmen für kleine Geschäfte.

In meiner Wahrnehmung führen daher die Pfandgefäße dasselbe Nischendasein wie vorher. Aber meine Frau bringt eine Schüssel mit Deckel von der Arbeit heim, nachdem die Kantine dort das System des Anbieters Vytal eingeführt hat. Ich habe umgehend ein schlechtes Gewissen, denn ich habe mir am Vorabend Essen liefern lassen und wurde mit der Maximaldosis Alufolie versorgt.

Die Vytal-Gefäße gibt es in mehreren Formen, jedes ist mit einem QR-Code versehen. Beim Ausleihen in der Kantine scannt man diesen Code mit der zugehörigen App und zeigt dem Personal das Handydisplay. Von da an "weiß" Vytal also, dass man diese Schüssel geliehen hat. Bei der Rückgabe wird der Code in der Kantine erneut gescannt – vom Personal oder an einem Automaten. Man hat eine Woche Zeit für die kostenlose Rückgabe der Gefäße, ab dann kostet es eine Strafgebühr und die App sendet einem Erinnerungsbotschaften.

Um mein Gewissen zu beruhigen, installiere ich mir die Apps von Vytal und deren Konkurrenten ReCup und registriere mich als Nutzer. Wie auf den Kartenansichten der Apps zu erkennen ist, hat Vytal hat an meinem Wohnort mehr Restaurants als Partner. 

Zum Ordern muss man einen Code in der App generieren lassen und bei der Essensbestellung mit angeben. Für die Rückgabe gibt es wohl verschiedene Optionen – dem Lieferpersonal in die Hand drücken, in ein Partner-Restaurant bringen oder zu einer Rückgabestation, die hier in der Nähe steht. 

Mein Versuch, einige Tage später bei einer weiteren Essensbestellung Vytal zu nutzen, schlägt allerdings fehl. Das Restaurant ruft mich an und entschuldigt sich wortreich – sie hätten 200 Stück Pfandgeschirr geordert, die wären in kurzer Zeit alle ausgeliefert worden und sie erwarteten aktuell Nachschub. Ich willige also ein, eine Einwegverpackung zu akzeptieren, und diese ist dann immerhin aus Pappe.

Mehr Genuss, weniger Verpackung: burgerme setzt auf Vytal Nach erfolgreicher Testphase bundesweiter Launch des Mehrwegsystems München, den 7. Februar 2023 Als eines der ersten Franchisesysteme hat burgerme bundesweit das Mehrwegsystem von Vytal ausgerollt. Nach einer erfolgreichen Testphase in ausgewählten Stores in Berlin und Hannover bietet der Burger- und Delivery-Profi seit Januar an allen 144 burgerme-Standorten in Deutschland diese Mehrwegoption an. burgerme geht sogar noch einen Schritt weiter: Wer Mehrweg wählt, erhält bei burgerme sein gesamtes Menü in den Mehrwegbehältern von Vytal, obwohl burgerme nicht von der Mehrweg-pflicht betroffen ist. Denn die Verpackungen des Burger-Profis sind schon seit jeher aus umweltfreundlichem Papier. „Wir wollen Mehrweg für alle – und das ohne Qualitätsverlust, einfach und ohne an der Preisschraube zu drehen. Vytal ist ein unkompliziertes digitales System mit pfandfreier Abwicklung. Nach dem erfolgreichen Test haben wir uns daher entschieden, die Mehrwegbehälter von Vytal an allen burgerme-Standorten in Deutschland anzubieten“, so Jens Hochhaus, CEO bei burgerme. Damit Burger und Pommes auch im Mehrwegbehälter immer heiß und schön knusprig bleiben, haben die beiden Partner eine spezielle Mehrweg-Burger-Box entwickelt. Dr. Tim Breker, Mitgründer von Vytal freut sich sehr über die Zusammenarbeit mit burgerme: „Seit einer Podiumsdiskussion mit Stephan Gschöderer, Gründer von burgerme, war es mein großer Wunsch, gemeinsam eine Premium-Mehrwegverpackung für Burger und Pommes anzubieten, die für Lieferessen ein optimales Geschmackserlebnis garantiert. Mit Vytal hat burgerme jetzt eine einfach nutzbare und messbar wirkungsvolle Verpackungslösung für seine Kunden.“ Wer bei burgerme bestellt, kann die Mehrweg-Option kostenfrei online nach einmaliger Registrierung bei Vytal (unter www.vytal.org oder in der Vytal App) auswählen. Innerhalb von 14 Tagen lassen sich die Mehrwegverpackungen in allen burgerme-Stores oder bei anderen Vytal-Partnern abgegeben. „Der Bestell- und Abgabeprozess über die Vytal App ist sehr einfach und bedeutet kaum Mehraufwand – sowohl für unsere Kunden als auch für uns“, erklären die beiden Franchisepartner Gevorg Hovhannisyan und Aram Akopjan, die das Mehrwegsystem von Vytal an ihrem burgerme-Standort Berlin Rummelsburg getestet haben. Die Brüder Ozan und Rezan Defli haben mit ihren burgerme-Stores in Hannover Südstadt und Hannover Linden ebenfalls an der Testphase teilgenommen: „Das Mehrwegsystem von Vytal wurde von unseren Kunden und Mitarbeitern sehr positiv aufgenommen. Wir als Unternehmer freuen uns sehr zusammen mit Vytal unseren Kunden auch Mehrweg als Verpackungsoption anzubieten.“ Die Option Mehrweg ist nach den E-Fahrzeugen sowie Rädern für die eigenen Kuriere und den Papierboxen die nächste wichtige Nachhaltigkeitsmaßnahme von burgerme. „Bereits an unseren Teststandorten konnten wir feststellen, dass Mehrweg nachgefragt wird. Wir sind überzeugt, dass in Zukunft noch mehr Kunden auf Mehrweg umsteigen“, bekräftigt Hochhaus. Über burgerme Erstklassige Burger und schneller Delivery-Service aus einer Hand, das ist die DNA von burgerme. „So schnell kann lecker sein“ ist die Erfolgsformel des Burger- & Liefer-Profis, der mit 166 Standorten in Deutschland und den Niederlanden sowie 117 Millionen Euro Umsatz im Jahr 2022 weiter auf Erfolgskurs ist. Bis Ende des Jahres will burgerme auf insgesamt 200 Standorte wachsen.

Our scars tell our story

A scar tells a story, especially to those who know how to look for them.

A big old hand to @everyones-berry for the amazing art and @remnants-of-rwby-events for putting on the event!

[constantvariations]

Weiss's line "Not every story has a neat and tidy ending" is an absolutely buckwild thing to say to someone freaking out about how they don't know what the true goal of the people who just let loose a horde of grimm on a civilian city

Girl, this ain't about a messy ending to a fictional tale, this is about a terrorist attack wtf!!!

Ship: Ozpin/Qrow Branwen/Roman Torchwick (Cloqwork Orange)

Description: Roman and Ozpin already thought they were living their worst nightmare, being bound body and soul to one another. They were wrong.

[This fic is set between My Own Worst Enemy and With Friends Like These. Is it canon within my AU? Uhh, if you want it to be! Posting in celebration of Vytal Festival 2024 hosted by @remnants-of-rwby-events​! As a double AU (AAU?), I think it fits today's prompt of Alternate Universes nicely.]

History Becomes A Legend, Legend Fades On Into Myth

For @remnants-of-rwby-events day two, History/Fairy Tales.

Still having an awful lot of fun! :D

Archive Of Our Own link:

Plain Text:

The old woman stretched from her hunched position in the chair she’d been occupying, smiling around at the room full of her grandchildren and their friends. Story time was always very popular, though most of the tales had been told so many times that the children could repeat them almost word for word without needing to even glance at any of the old books that surrounded them but then, some people said that fairy tales were as good as history, to Remnant. After all, history was always written by the winners. Stories were just that, stories. Oh, they grew in the telling sometimes, but that was why they were written down, so future generations could have something definitive. Something about the way whoever had transcribed these ones in particular had written them just felt… real. It always had, even though she was well into her nineties. She still wished she knew who it was, but though there might have been a foreword once, it hadn’t survived.

She trailed one hand over the ancient leather covers, smelling of sweet oil and the various preservation methods they’d had to use over the decades. Technically speaking, they all likely belonged in a museum, but there were always ways to prolong the lifespan of heirlooms and they was most definitely that; passed down from some distance ancestor that was no longer recorded. One ear twitched slightly as she picked out a specific volume, turning to watch the children smiling at her. A few of the younger ones were almost bouncing in place as they waited and she couldn’t help but smile. It was always so nice, to see them like this, untouched by all the pressures and nastiness that awaited them out there in the world. Not that there was much of that, anymore, but it would always be there. For all their similarities, there were still too many differences for everybody to accept them. Oh, there were laws to protect them, but still… ah well. There were more important things right now than her worries.

“You all know this story well, of course, but it’s been awhile since I told it, I suppose. Who wants to hear about why colours are so important?” She grinned out at them as they cheered. Well, that was certainly a good reaction. Turning to the first page, she let her fingers stroke the coloured drawing of the four huntresses from the tale. There had never really been any proof for the old family tales, but she liked to think that one of their ancestors might have truly been the fabled Blake Belladonna. There were family records that would tend to agree, but whether she was that specific legend? That was far harder to tell.

She cleared her throat. “Once upon a time…”

The little boy grinned up at his father, ruffling through a sheaf of papers that was very familiar. The Arc family had kept versions of these tales for decades. Centuries, really. There were whispers that one of their ancestors had been the rusted knight, though Theo wasn’t sure he fully believed them. He was almost ten, surely that was too old to believe in those old tales? Daddy did, though… and his dad knew everything. If he said they were real, then maybe they were? He knew better than to boast to his friends, though. They had believed him once, but now they just laughed. A few pieces of rusted old armour didn’t really make a knight, even if they were very old. There was no proof. He wished he could have known them, though even daddy didn’t actually know what the knight had been called. There were even stories that he’d known the wizard! That was silly, though, the wizard was a totally different tale. Even at ten, Theo knew that much. It was silly, but sometimes the tales were far easier to remember than any dusty old history books could ever be. Why couldn’t they just listen to stories at school, not learn about all those silly wars and stuff that didn’t really matter any more? The stories were far more fun…

The father nodded at his son before clearing his throat and starting to read. After all, they needed to keep their ancestor’s story in the family, no matter how long it had been. He wondered sometimes whether the knight had been an uncle, a grandfather… whatever it was that he had been. It was far too long ago now to be able to tell, of course, but sometimes he thought he could almost picture them. It was easier when he was reading, the figure felt far more real than the other old family legends did. Maybe this one, at least, had been?

There was an old scythe, polished to perfection, though the edge was long dulled with time, hanging in pride of place on the far wall. The young woman in the chair opposite glanced at it occasionally with a wry smile on her face. It had supposedly belonged to a great huntress, but she wasn’t certain she really believed in that any more. She had as a child, but all children did. The stories had been nice, but it wasn’t as though there were many sightings of Grimm anymore, there was no need for hunters. And yet, the mechanics that let it shift from scythe to gun were still very much in working order. Truly, it was a marvel of mechanical engineering, there had to have been some point to it, once? Some great danger that required weapons to be so much more advanced than they were o these days? Oh, there were exceptions here and there, but those were the outliers as opposed to the rule. Young fools that believed enough in the old tales to go out and actually look for threats… not all of them came home again, but that was the way of things when you did something that dangerous. Sighing, she went back to her paperwork. The brackets beneath the scythe, that might once have held something long and thin stood empty, as they always had. Whatever it was that they had once held had long since been forgotten, much as the old weapon had not. It didn’t really matter anymore.

Humming, the woman at the loom continued to weave the tapestry that had been requested, moving the stencils inch by inch as she laid out the complicated design. There were more modern ways of doing it, of course, but she preferred the old way, more hands on. Besides, this way, any mistakes couldn’t be blamed on anything or anyone bar herself. She let the threads run through her fingers briefly as she rethreaded the old machine, smiling. The design was one of a huntress, weapon raised in triumph, standing over a stylised Grimm. Though the weapon hadn’t been specified, she’d chosen to make it a hammer in honour of her family’s symbol. Supposedly they had been descended from someone great, but that didn’t earn her coin. Her designs and hard work were what did that. As she worked, she kept humming, an old tune that, like the loom had been handed down through the generations. Huntresses were all well and good, but it wasn’t like that any more. Nobody needed a weapon, the army took care of any incursions from the old threat. Hell, she’d never even seen a real Grimm. Nobody she knew had ever seem one outside of books, though they knew that they were real enough. There was nothing to worry about, here in the old barn she used to weave. Everybody was safe.

Groaning to himself, the middle-aged man looked over the columns of numbers again, praying that this time, they might add up. He made a note to himself to fire the accountant that had made such a mess of the books, maybe have him investigated. The amount of mistakes in this felt deliberate, there was only so much he could excuse through the younger man’s uncertainty or youth. That was annoying, he was a cousin, given the job more on the strength of family loyalty than out of any real talent and that certainly showed. Surely, as a fellow member of their dynasty he couldn’t be actively fraudulent? No, there had to be another explanation. His family had far more honour than that… not to mention far more to lose. As he shook his head, going back to his figures, a stray shaft of light highlighted his white hair, blue eyes half shut in exhaustion. Being a Schnee was far frm easy, much though they were rather richer than most. Whether or not that wealth would keep on growing amidst the mutters of rising discontent from the workers remained to be seen.

Oh, they’d been trying their hardest. He prided himself on being fair and just, but there was no real pleasing those at the bottom that refused to work on moving up. It didn’t matter how many opportunities they were provided, they never seemed to take any of them. That was on them, though… surely he couldn’t be blamed if they refused to work? He glanced at the portrait on the wall, a slim girl in fine clothing and jewels. No, no, she wouldn’t want this. He had to be better, for the memory of that long ago ancestress. He owed her that much, to try to continue the empire his forebears had lain in place. No, he needed to audit that cousin. He just hoped that, wherever she was, Weiss Schnee could forgive him.

A man in his twenties wandered. He didn’t really have a home, or not anymore, he couldn’t risk settling down. He’d been medicated, provided all the help that modern science could give him, but the voice hadn’t ceased. The wizard wasn’t real, of course. The voice in his head was imaginary, a phantom of some long ago conflict. Remnant was at peace, there was no need to fight anything at all, much less those shadowy monsters. But, no matter how much he told himself that none of it was real, it couldn’t stop the whispers. Maybe he really was going mad, after all… or maybe he always had been? Oranis walked on, hoping that somewhere soon, he might find a place to rest, at least for a little while. He was tired of the glances, the pitying looks. Travel was safer now than it had been in the past, though he was never a student of history. That didn’t seem to matter to the voice, either. He wondered where exactly he could have learned all those things that he almost remembered, but shrugged it off. There were always those far more obsessed than he was with mere stories. No, he needed to get somewhere safe, take his meds and sleep. Hope that, this time, the voice would actually leave him alone for once.

Salem snarled as she punched the wall of her crystalline prison. She’d long since realised that the scant nine feet of walking room she’d been granted when she’d been sealed away counted as far as her curse was concerned. Technically, after all, she was still walking the face of remnant, albeit unseen. How dare Ozma do this to her? She was shut out of even contact with her loyal Grimm, how were they dealing without her? She punched her wall again and stilled, noticing the very beginning of a crack in the flat, featureless surface. Well, then… it had taken awhile, but she might just be out of there rather sooner than she had feared. How long had it been, years? Decades, maybe even centuries? Time enough, for those on the other side to have gotten complacent in their lack of belief. She’d forge her empire again, nobody would be able to stand against her this time.

Soon. She’d be free soon enough.
