#30 dead end job

Wait wait wait I'm putting pieces together
From TMA 198, Precipice:
MARTIN Hey, what happened here? Are you both okay? Where is everybody? GEORGIE [Upset] They came for them. Took them away. Like before. ARCHIVIST Oh, god. MARTIN Who’s ‘they’? GEORGIE The… things from the city. You know, the, the ones that serve that big eye.
Georgie and Melanie’s cult (including Celia) were attacked and taken away by the former Archivists who were guarding the Panopticon.
From TMAGP 30, Dead End Job:
ARCHIVIST AT LAST, IT IS MINE!
CELIA …and then the fearless one reached in and grasped me, tore me out, leaving my story to fall away like autumn leaves…
THE ARCHIVIST IS FROM THE TMA WORLD TOO
It came over to this world with Celia when it was kidnapping her from the tunnels. It was locked in the tunnels under the Manchester Institute because it came from the tunnels under the London Institute. It's been trying to find her this whole time because its job was to drag her back to the Fear domains and it failed. It needed her, and the rift, to complete its duty.
That's why the rift was more balanced after it went through with Sam. The Archivist was part of what was unbalancing it! And now the poor thing is lost in a world that no longer has the Eye to guide it, with the wrong victim, and not even a Panopticon to go home to. Poor thing is probably hundreds of years old and just wants to do its job. I hope Georgie and Melanie find it and give it a nice cup of tea.

i wish kaiju no 8 was better than it was i love the concept of it but ive never been able to get further than liek idk .. 15 chapters or so. maybe i havent given it a fair chance i mean it took me multiple tries over the years to break into dungeon meshi bcuz i jsut wasnt interested in the early chapters but i have this kind of opposite problem w kaiju no 8 where id rather watch kafka work minimum wage than wherever it feels like itll go. it just doesnt rly successfully keep my interest. i feel like the baseline story concept is more interesting than whats actually done w it cuz it feels like itll just become repetitive fight scene to military scene and back again. i have Not read the entire thing i really cannot attest to this its just the vibe i get i guess. im not really sure like. what happens in it besides the beginning? everyone knows the beginning and no one seems to know or remember what happens after that

No, seriously, what makes Celia so special??? If Darrien and the other "emaciated souls" were each balanced out by someone getting eaten by the Centre then I guess it makes sense, but then why didn't Hill Top just eat someone to balance Celia? Why does two people going in her place balance it out instead of unbalancing it in the other direction?
And what about the other people we know who've crossed over? What balanced Anya Villette? Or Jon and Martin? Or the goddamn Fears???

spending this much time and effort and energy working towards a career path I really do not like or want or will ever go into is really taking the wind out of my sails not gonna lie. and making me hate the humanities 😍
#I hate teaching with every fiber of my being#I like translation but that's a dead-end field if nobody cares about the languages that you know (and nobody cares about romanian)#also any good translation job would probably require me to live in brussels. I do not want to live in brussels. you see my problem here#I used to like reading but then I stopped because video games is more fun#then I started reading a little more (just poetry but it's a start) and then I majored in literature and now I can't stand reading#absolutely fucking hate it#there must be THOUSANDS. of students who study in the same building as me. and yet. the bathrooms are insanely small. no bathroom has more#than 3 stalls. oftentimes you will spend your whole 10 minute break waiting in line for the bathroom. not to mention the fact that#the bathrooms never have basic fucking neccesities like toilet paper or soap.#I must've built up a reputation as a pissboy and a freak because ever since uni started I've basically been taking jabs at#the bathroom situation in conversations with T. she knows too and she hates it because she also uses the student bathrooms. AND YET. NOTHIN#HAS CHANGED. DESPITE US rightfully complaining for A YEAR about the horrible conditions.#man I'm just really angry. that this is how I spend my time. it's a waste of time the time will pass anyway yes#but it seems like an especially horrible way for the time to pass#it's like oh I could spend the next 30 minutes in this empty room looking at the wall#or I could spend it giving myself electric shocks for fun and stimulation#and I was essentially forced into giving myself the electric shocks cause other people think it would be good for my future. whatever man

I was supposed to play DnD last night. The big campaign that I was planning for a while. But one of the players couldn't make it (internet died on her) so we decided to reschedule the game for the next week. But i didn't wanted to leave the rest of the players without a game they where exited about. So i hosted a one-shot turned two-shot for them since it was supposed to be the first time playing for most of them. The thing is, I already hosted it for my other friends (only the girl that couldn't make it, played it already so it was new for them all), and let me tell you both of the parties tried to do almost the same thigs but with completely different outcomes and it's hilarious.
#they where supposed to find the reason why people go missing and turn up dead in the old graveyard#they both tried to charm person the mayor(A gnome named Edgar who looks like a peacock) Paty1 druid a woman in her 40 was so ready to do-#-so but her friend and moral compass half orc fighter stopped her#in Party2 the charmer was an old (human?) bard Edgar failed miserebly with nat1 for total of 6 and spilled everything he knew#then they asked him about the money i started with 50 gold coins after the job each - Party1 thetened the guy and got-#200 gold each half beofre alf after the job (thanks to thier blood hunter and his insane roll)#party 2 tried to persuasion thier way out of it and got extra 10 gold he charmed agreed on the deal 30 beofre 30 after the job#both parties talked to day shift barnender (a young woman named Olive) Party1 thanks to thier Blood Hunter with extream high roll they-#-almost got the towns secret out of her but she told them enough that they could quess correctly#party 2 befriended her and tried to flirt with her (human warlock Young noble woman choked on her scrambled eggs cuz she rolled nat1)#they got much more info about the situation out of her then party1 and directions to the graveyard but they couldn't get the town's secret#party1 almost died during the battle and they still didn't get the mistery sorted out and we ended it there bc everyone was sleepy#party2 didn't finished the battle bc everyone was sleepy but they found the traps pretty soon and avoided them not like party1 who stumbled#into all 3 they also did much better job at fighting the mosters bc they almost killed one with almost no hits point loosen#(they blinded it first thing so it rolled with disadvantage the whole time and couldn't hit them)#AMAZING AND FASCINATING

No because my sense of direction is so bad I got lost in a small village school today
#they even gave a tour beforehand but i was apparently not paying attention because when i had to leave the classroom i was helping out in#and go to the meeting room to read to the kids i just got So lost#i was openly wandering. i nearly burst into a random classroom to be like ‘girl help’ but i could see that the teacher had enough#on her plate already#so i just kept going back and forth and eventually i had to go through the hall where about 30 kids were having their music lesson#(immediate big headache) and then i got to the meeting room only to discover that the kids i was there to read to had not yet arrived#because they were meeting santa (read: jeff)#i literally should’ve just stayed put until someone came to get me#so then afterwards the lady was like ‘can you find your own way back to [classroom]?’ and i was like ‘i’ll be real with you chief.#probably not’ and she was like ‘ah yeah i’ll take you through; this place is a bit of a maze’ and i was like ‘no honestly it’s me. i could#get lost in a barrel’ i don’t think she knew what to say to this#and Then i was supposed to have a job interview in the meeting room 40 minutes after that and i was really hoping they’d come get me#but they just. didn’t. i waited until 5 minutes after i was supposed to be there and bid goodbye to the kid i was helping with his colouring#and set off. this time i knew to walk through the hall so that was good#but leaving i got really confused because i was like how.. do i leave this place#like they showed me out the door but i couldn’t immediately see the gate at the end of the path so i was like ‘is this a fucking dead end’#i tried to come back and go through a fence i couldn’t have gone through. i definitely looked incompetent#if anyone was watching.. oh god. but i did find the gate! it wasn’t a dead end. i thought they’d just pushed me out and left me alone to die#worst part was THERE WAS FUCKING FOUR INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. literally the footprints should’ve clued me in#but i didn’t know if i was coming to a locked gate. school security is wild sometimes#anyway i didn’t get the job. i don’t think it was due to my bad sense of direction; however i also don’t think that helped#it has now been 0 days since i last got lost somewhere#personal

From everything she said it sounds like Celia doesn't know the apocalypse was reversed so like. She was absolutely prepared to sacrifice Sam to a full-on Fearscape to stay in this dimension.
