SVSSS AU where due to dimension shenanigans Shang Qinghua gets to meet alternative versions of himself. Including notable figures such as Original Flavour SQH and the SQH who did take the rock route when he first met MBJ :)) OG!SQH is much more proper and peak-lordy looking then our local hamster and is just so so grossed out by the demon loving SQH's. Why on Earth is a version of himself Married to Mobei-Jun? and the other one is fawning over him too! Like you willing chose to be into that fucking thing? at least one of them managed to kill the demon...

Meanwhile Rock-hua (Who is much more scarred and physically inclined since he didn't have a MBJ to call on whenever he got into trouble) is looking at Mobei-Jun like "Ah, it's nice to see him again, especially with his head in one piece :))"

Mobei-Jun is very conflicted about everything that's going on.

idk if anyone else sees the vision but i dont think bunny would be into a fwb type of relationship with you. this is because it would complicate things (he doesn't trust himself to be able to pull away if he ever comes to know your taste and warmth) and his whole thing is not giving you any expectations because he wants company, not intimacy. so a lot of your tension pre-relationship is mostly psychological. and it fucks with your head so bad.

bunny won't kiss you, but he'll let you take food from his plate whenever you guys grab a meal together. bunny won't fuck you, but he'll listen to all your complaints and whatever gossip you want to share over drinks. he does subtle things to look after you like covering your drink when you slip away to go the restroom and paying for your tab at the end of the night, even if he had teased earlier on that you'll be covering it on your own this time.

but the thing about bunny is that no matter how sweet his actions may be read as in hindsight, the way he acts in the moment won't give you any room to read too much into it. his eyes are steady and mildly amused, always, and his smile is a practiced pleasant curve. his eyes do not soften. they go neither cold nor warm — when he looks at you, there are no expectations in his eyes. he's just your friend, a guy who's not looking for anything but your genuine company. a guy who's not looking at your body at all.

("breaking through the big screen, i'm here with—."

the audio plays on in the tablet propped up against a stack of cups on the kitchen island. it's some random actor's interview, he recalls, that somehow ended up on his autoplay while he washed his dishes and tried to decompress from the day. simple, repetitive motions like this (lather, scrub, rinse, repeat) usually helped him calm down, but lately it's been getting harder and harder to pretend at control like he usually does.

he's been spending more time with you now that it's the off-season. that's probably why. he doesn't have as concrete of an excuse as practice or team meetings to get out of hanging out with you, and it's easier to just say yes than to refuse you anything. you're a walking test of tolerance, you know that? you make him sick, sicker than he's ever been with all your genuine joy and energy, and you make him want to stay sick if it meant being able to stay next to you just a little longer. it's exhausting. hanging out with you is like trying to get over an allergy through exposure therapy. like you're a shrimp and he has the world's worst seafood allergy.

the thought steals a snort from him mid-scrub, a quick sound that he quickly hides behind a cough in the same breath. his stomach roils at how warm the idea made him feel, how easily the thought of you being like an allergy (a shrimp, of all things) he exposes himself to near-daily made him almost smile, and he all but slams the metal cup he just finished rinsing onto the drying rack with hands clenched tight. he stands there at the sink for a while, letting the noise from his tablet flood back into his head before he starts thinking too hard again.

it's still the same interview, he draws a long breath, and the video's nearing its end. he closes his eyes and focuses on the words instead.

"— you need to be a good liar to be a good actor. you're selling a story of something you're not after all. if you want to convince the audience, you first have to convince yourself."

the tap keeps running.)

“I told you, a very long time ago, that I would destroy this place, everything you hold dear, and I’m going to follow through on that promise,” Hels breathed in, “Because a knight never says something he doesn’t believe to be true."

IMO, at least as an autistic 26-year-old, the hardest part of job interviews for me (assuming I even get that far in this market) is pretending to give a fuck about the mission of the company.

“Why do you want to work here?” I don’t, I just want money.

“What about our company inspires you?” Nothing, you’re all frauds cutting corners and being cheapskates just like everyone else, but you pay well and you're not too far of a drive.

“What do you bring to our team?” Somebody who gets shit done fast and accurately. Could not care less about being part of your silly useless ‘team’ and water-cooler talk. I get the shit done that they're all too busy gossping to bother with, and someone, somewhere, should appreciate that for once.

“Which of our company values speaks to you?” Those values are as substantial as smoke on the ground level and you, hiring lady, are blissfully insulated from the shit you shovel onto the people below you.

‘Cause while I can make up fluffy nonsense, I am a truly awful liar when it comes to faking enthusiasm and unfortunately can see right through all the smoke and mirrors. I have only ever gotten two of the hundreds of jobs I’ve applied for over the years immediately, because I actually wanted them: A pet store, and a different position in my company to escape the bitchy clique I was trapped in, where I was already an employee and not some stranger off the street.

Take a second to ignore the job market, ignore the cripplingly low pay, ignore the rising uselessness of bachelor degrees, ignore all the shitty benefits and complications of just showing up in an office environment socializing the way you’re supposed to.

I wish I could shake my neurodivergent bullshit detector. I wish. But in this country you have to smile while you shovel it and weep graciously for your two-penny paycheck, and I am not a good enough actor to pull that off just to get through the door. Starting my first day pretending to be something I’m not to appease my corporate overlords is an experience so repulsive that it��s near single-handedly keeping me in my current, shitty, stable, underpaid position.

Meanwhile the jobs I do want are being gutted by the government. So there is that reality, too.

And god forbid I tell them I'm autistic, my frank rbf is a pre-installed bonus feature, not a bug. I'm not your yes man, I'm the court fool brave enough to call you an idiot to your face before you make a dumbass decision.

something about perspective, representation, or finding beauty in imperfection, i don't know. i mostly just wanted to say that fake pep looks like shitty ice cream.

coming back to my summer job again & damn do i love to project so....

lifeguard steve, obviously, worked there for 5 years, its a dead-end job for everyone there, you either get out in high school or you're stuck there until you die. he's a manager, is best friends with the maintenance guy, has learned all the tricks of the trade.

& of COURSE robin is there too - comes back every summer on rotation, she's the life of the office, has created every lightning summoning ritual that works every time. she owns the aux, and will blast closing time 10 minutes before the actual time.

the Party are the neighborhood kids there every afternoon, when the community center daycamp gets out, harassing steve for free entry, begging for the slides to be opened. steve gives them a hard time everytime, but as long as they clean up the parking lot trash he lets them in.

& eddie..... eddie is a regular who steve can NOT figure out. he's a mystery. steve knows ALL the regulars, is best friends with dorene who opens the pool at 6am for her water walking, chats a storm with the swim coach elaine, even has broken down old harold who brings his baking experiments once a week.

but eddie, who comes in three days a week, always at 2pm, the least busy time at the pool, lays in the sun in all black for way too long, before hopping in to water walk for a full hour. and steve, always working, spends the whole hour staring daggers at eddie, who 80% of the time is the only one in the pool. it kills him. and eddie seems oblivious - little ear wrap headphones going, bopping his head. and then, by the time he hops out, the pool is back filling up again with all the water activities, and he always tries to hold a conversation with steve, who now is distracted and pissed at not getting his lull in the day, and nods not listening.

so eddie is his nemesis swimmer.

I have to say when it comes for episode 107 I'm on the camp of this feeling wrong. Like, two gods' plan is to just let Ludinus just have his way? And just assume that the vessel won't get them? The Wildmother showed Orym the time Predathos came to town, it took out two of them in a blink and the Titans did the heavy lifting, it chased them from Tengar to Exandria without concept of navigation so it's foolish to think they won't do the same this time around. Running forever isn't a life even the infinite should be pursuing. Corellon is cheeky and flirty but it's a mask for being deflective and honestly a little cowardly. What you're asking and trying to persuade with gifts requires the Hells to entertain sacrificing one of their own, which they shouldn't (and I'm hopeful they won't, because that'd be to me at least be a character betrayal since they have always prioritized each other over the gods) consider doing even for any kind of promise, and treating it like it's a necessity, as if leaving like you've decided you want to do now is your 'sacrifice'? Even if being a vessel and still being of sound mind was a viable option with proof that it can work that way, there are too many unknown factors that it seems not even the gods have answers for, so it should all trail back to the fact that this is STILL not a risk worth taking and Ludinus should not be having his way.

I guess part of this feeling comes down to the fact that this was not what I was hoping to get out of the episode; I'm always open to being surprised (because I often am) but it has to be in a good way, this was not a good way. But we'll have to see where it goes, this is a proposal of two gods against a majority yet to say their piece and could still be heard out, I still trust Matt's vision and Abu DM's like smooth butter, but the god debate admittedly continues to wear on me - we were already in a state where we were open to talk but now they're conspiring against one another too? Can we not just focus on Plan A: Unite to Stop Ludinus from releasing Predathos? Evoroa literally said Ludinus' plan is to divide why are we sowing more division? Couldn't just kill Zathuda and take his dragon for Fearne...this should've been Bell's Hells' big win to make up for Otohan but now for me at least it feels a little sour.

So uh. Good news is I wrote the 500 words today like I said I would.

Bad news is I didn't really sleep because every time I tried the low grade fever made me so uncomfortable I'd get up and make another cup of tea and write a bit more on the doc before trying to sleep again.

Great news though?? I wrote some excellent fengqing porn with plot.

a MCU/Percy Jackson crossover with Bucky Barnes as a demigod. Ik your already thinking, he's a soldier so Ares obviously but he's actually a child of Aphrodite. Reasoning: before the war and when he's healed he is dressed very well. He wasn't really into war. he's never really fighting for the fight, he's fighting for someone or because he has to. He was forced to be a soldier in both instances (drafted/brainwashed). Mcu Bucky doesn't give off Ares kid vibes. So Aphrodite kid.
