i love shiny hunters like they fucking do the same shit over and over again for tens of thousands of hours hunting like and they’ll make it even more difficult for themselves by hunting really obscure and rare things like? the fucking title screen minncino??? you can’t even keep that. people will do the most monotonous tasks for months or years for a cartoon sparkle and they enjoy it.

Ventus, who has spent days on the streets of Old Mondstadt listening to the voices of the people. Who has silently watched as parents take care of their young. Watch kids escort their aunts to the stores. The wind around him is so cold

He plays his lyre. Its the only thing he has on him. He would rather die than say where he acquired it, and at the end of the day its his lyre.

Ventus closes his eyes. For the breifedt moment he couldn't hear the deafening gales around him. He is in the eye of the hurricane. What song is he even playing? He switched from one track to the other minutes ago and was now improvising a solo.

The families are still talking to each other.

At the end of the day, he is just background music

.

Then one day a creature bumps into him. Radiating the same warmth as a prayer and eyes akin to his god's. Was it a spy? Was it a child? Was it a puppet?

Wearily, he asks for a name. Smiling as he tells the sprite how he wishes to make ballads of the little thing. It flutters around him, occassionally stumbling in mid air like its drunk. It gives out a little squeak as it gestures to itself.

Ventus tries to mimic that chime, but his mouth can't hit the same notes. The sprite speaks more and more, yet Vrntus can't understand a thing. He just smiles and nods as he subconsciously plays his lyre.

Before he knows it, he can feel the chill of night. Or at least what he thinks it night. The elders of the city tell what night is supposed to be, but the winds had carried away those voices a long time ago.

Tales of an object called the moon. How it would shift as the weeks go by. How it could disappear and be reborn once anew- surrounded by her starry sisters.

Night.

He hated it.

He hates how cold it is. How dark it is. How every candle and life is snuffed by the wind.

Yet the creature is still hear, making a nest on his lap.

Its warm.

Letting go of his lyre for just a breif moment, he runs his fingers down the cloak of the sprite. Soft yet smooth. Was this what a bird felt like?

Tomorrow would be another day. Tomorrow he could try to pronounce his ... freind's name better. Tomorrow he could do so much.

Despite the being being on his lap, he felt a warmth in his chest. Something he has never felt before. Something that made him think of protecting this creature.

Ventus rests his eyes as he carries his first friend, unware he would do this everynight til the day he died

*cheers and applause amid tears and sobs*

I don’t know if it’s because I already listen to so much true crime and “let’s not meet” and missing persons stories; but this book, despite being excellently written, is dragging a little. I like it… but it feels more like I’m learning about a real case than reading a fictional story. It’s completely realistic in every way, set in modern times… I guess realistic fiction is not my genre. :P

Consider Machines Over Customers

don’t know how useful this is, but for people who hate the customer interaction part of their jobs, like, if you think that is the worst part of your job, consider looking for a job that does not involve you interacting with customers. the hard part is that all the “basic job that you don’t need a college education to get” kind of jobs that I could think of to look for on job sites were like call center work and waitress and hotel staff and front desk work and retail and, you know, customer service positions. so I was searching job sites with those key words and did not know about a lot of other options. namely...machines. yes, that’s right. turns out there are so many machines out there and they all need people to operate them. there’s also warehouse stocking jobs but i haven’t tried one of those so I can’t endorse or diss them. BUT...I am working a machine operating job right now and I actually love machines. they are great. they also have yet to yell at me about an expired coupon. i mean, sometimes they do complain about thread breakage or refuse to read a positioning mark that is RIGHT THERE, but still...I love machines. I also do not have to see customers at all. like, I know the orders go to customers eventually, but I do not need to help them place the orders or receive the calls when their package does not arrive on time. I just need to fill the order and I’m done. whatever happens next is out of my hands. actually...the delivery workers might be another “customers are not my problem” option. they pick up orders from us and I think they just need to whip those at the front doors of customers, but they don’t actually need to talk to them.

just...the main point is that I spent a long time stuck thinking that all the “non-career” jobs I could get required customer interaction. unless you were, like, a cook in the back or stocking jobs, and i can’t cook or lift that much. so my advice is...just try getting creative with the keywords you plug into job sites. I hit on my current job by pure chance, no idea why it showed up when I was typing in stuff like “front desk” and “call center representative.” If you want machine stuff, try typing in “manufacturing” or “assembly” or “operator” or “production.” I am mostly just throwing this out there into the void in case it helps anyone. I spent way too long doing customer service and hating how draining it was and how much I would dread going to work. but now I am shocked that I actually do not mind going to work. it is tiring, but only physically, and otherwise actually enjoyable. so...consider machines over customers.

Hi! I got very curious so I wanted to ask: if you could design a unique idle animation for your OCs, what would some (or all if you’d like!) of your OCs’ idle animations be?

Ohh this is a fun one, thank you!!

Compiled some ideas for my main crew under the cut cos it got long lmao, but the gist of it is that June and Liam would have the biggest selection of idle animations, cos they're the most fidgety of the bunch who also get restless or bored fairly quickly.

Kala is at the other end of the spectrum cos she's practically been drilled to stay focused for long periods of time on the job.

The rest are in between, with all of them getting more restless the more time passes, but for slightly different reasons.

Neira Must feel Productive At All Times so she'll start doing just that.

Ari is more leisurely but will also use the opportunity to catch up on things he didn't have the time to do otherwise.

Lilian has no problem stopping for a bit but will get impatient and restless when idle for longer.

Addie would be similar, getting more animated the more time passes. 'Renan too but the signs would be much more subtle cos they're too broody trained to stay still when they have to. Noya would fall into some sort of repetitive motion to keep herself entertained while drifting off or observing

NEIRA:

short:

glances around, mildly alert (sequence of different directions/intensities at random) takes moment to relax limbs & catch breath

long:

[if self or party member injured] summons wisp & slowly heals party members quietly rehearses spells under her breath practices basic battle techniques (w/o weapon, only movements) [weapon varies; depending on party members present, will notice & give feedback (daggers/zev, bow/leli etc.)]

KALA:

short:

little movement overall small adjustments to stance subtle stretches; prevent stiffness

long:

slightly less at-the-ready stance, but still alert; repeat above cycles at less frequent intervals small repetitive motions, e.g. rolling a pebble between her fingers

LIAM:

short:

stretch back pluck at gloves or hems/sleeves scratch chin/cheek suddenly pat pockets as if checking them

long:

inspect/play with daggers play with coin (roll across knuckles, flick, almost lose, guess heads or tails w random party member [priority varric > isabela > bethany]) [if dog summoned] play with/pet skippy

LILIAN:

short:

clench & unclench fists subtle neck/shoulder stretches

long:

cross & uncross arms readjust brace/ left leg impatient foot tapping brush back hair

JUNE:

short:

check sole of boots shuffle feet rock back & forth on balls of feet pluck at collar flick off debirs/dirt from coat [temperate/humid biome] swat at insect neat face

long:

take out & mess with staff pick up & throw rock [if sera/dorian/bull present: throw at them] summon/ play with magic sparks [cold biome] snow around her melts [near red lyrium] gets visibly distressed

ARI:

short:

readjust stance and/or equipment look up to check weather/time

long:

take out compass or notebook take out water bottle or rations refasten belt or boots [hot biome, extension to drinking animation] rub water on neck and forehead [cold/muddy biome] scrape off snow/mud from boots
