#A Better ABK

I promise you the Activision Blizzard higher-ups are watching Unity shit the bed and getting ideas for what to fuck up next.

Bethesda and Activision Blizzard sitting at a bar holding their heads: god i don’t know if any other game company can fuck up their whole situation worse than we have

Unity, shoving in the western doors of the bar as the piano player stops playing and everyone turns: hello boys

atsushi nakajima ★↷

your relationship with the were-tiger was nothing short of more than a workplace rivalry. you hadn't been working there much longer than he had but upon his first few days, he saw you as quite the respectable colleague and in turn aspired to become more like you in the workplace.

you recognised this quite early and saw it as a friendly competition. and soon he caught on. and that's how the friendly workplace rivalry had begun. wether it was with paperwork or actual missions you both turned it into a competition. and the other members of the agency found it either entertaining, or rather childish but let it be either way.

however you both knew the limits of when to stop the rivalry and that was often during difficult missions. and now more than ever atsushi understood what had drawn him to you in the first place. but it seemed to late as he watched the life drain from your body with now one in the vicinity abke to help. now he had realised everything, but now you were dead.

this whole time he was so oblivious to yours and his feelings but now it was too late he understood them. and even now he couldn't help but still have you occupy his mind. he thought about you constantly, you and everything he wished had gone differently. and before he knew it a day had passed and he hadn't even returned to work after the mission, going straight home.

he didn't want to go back to work but he knew it would do him no good sitting around thinking of you, atleast maybe this would distract him. but as he walked into the office dazai walked up to him with a rather happy smile and asked him to follow. atsushi mindlessly followed until dazai opened a door they had stopped at, atsushi couldn't believe his eyes. there you stood, unharmed and perfectly fine.

he was inclined not to believe what he was seeing but you knew what he was going to think and quickly shut down any misconceptions. now he had the time to work out his feelings but for now he embraced you and sobbed into your shoulder, getting you to promise never to scare him like that again.

osamu dazai ★↷

from the minute you had first met dazai, you had quite honestly thought he was quite annoying. he often teased you about everything and would try and embarrass you constantly. so what better thing to do then reciprocate the feeling. starting a very long lasting rivalry that made him quite smug knowing that he started it.

wether you worked with him or not he would find a way to annoy you on the daily just for you to return the favour. to anyone else it looked like a very childlike rivalry but they never said anything. but one of the main reasons for the rivalry was for the fact that dazai wasn't that good with genuine feelings.

he never knew how to get across specific feelings to be more exact. from the moment he had met you he knew that he wanted to be someone to you but had no idea how to go about that as mostt relationships he had were most likely to get something out of it and were a one time thing. so he was ultimately lost and the only way he could think of keeping you close was to start a petty rivalry. he never wanted to lose you.

and even knowing that most things he cared for were lost, he let himself get slightly closer to you. close enough that to him it seemed as if fate cruelly ripped out any chance of him hoping to further the relationship with you. and that came in the form of having to witness your death. he was in disbelief, he had tried so hard to avoid this bit here it was and it hurt none the less.

it had completely destroyed his mask seeing you die. he felt more somber and returned home to let it out within the scarce comfort of his four walls. and before he knew it, it was morning. he had debated not going into work but then people would notice something up and ask questions and he didn't want that. so with a heavy-heart he went to work yet again, mind consumed with thoughts about you.

however as he arrived at the agency he walked into the room where his and other desk were held just to see you sat there at his desk with the most smug smile he had ever seen. he quickly caught on to what had happened and internally cursed himself for forgetting. you truly had the last laugh. but he was so relieved that nothing truly bad had happened to you, and so relieved he hadn't held you for fear his ability may of gotten in the way.

doppo kunikida ★↷

the last thing anyone expected form him was to have a childish rivalry with you. yet here he was and for reasons that no-one knows, he had a very childlike rivalry with you. you found it very entertaining and therefore only teased him or tried to one up him more which often lead to making it even worse.

throughout the whole time, he bad thought he just had a weird hatred for your insistent teasing. but for reasons that escaped him he felt something more for you but never really acknowledged them.

however he wishes maybe he could've accepted them, and maybe you two would've developed beyond the rivalry. but now he had watched you die. he was in disbelief initially, there was no way you had died. and all at once it had hit him, the realisation that he would never see you again and never hear your teasing remarks. it was rare for him to diverge from his schedule, but the lack of sleep he got that night was from the tears that flowed endlessly.

he truly didn't want to go into work, but that would further mess up his schedule and maybe he could distract himself from the thoughts of you that occupied his mind. as he entered the building he was faced with something he could only imagine was his mind playing a cruel trick on him. it was you, unharmed and perfectly fine.

you had to quickly explain yourself as you could tell how confused and upset he was. he cursed your ability for making him worry that much but he also thanked it, thanked it for keeping you alive until he finally understood his feelings.

chuuya nakahara ★↷

he was known for being quite the confident person. that was no doubt. so when you had shown up and started teasing him and just overall annoyed him he wasn't sure what to do. but of course his natural instinct was to just do it back, and hence your rivalry started. always trying to one up or embarrass the other. often getting into petty arguments or small childlike squabbles.

whatever the reason you had initially started teasing him may or may not compare to what he was currently feeling. somewhere along the way he started developing something that he didn't quite know what it was or why he had started feeling this way. and he didn't quite know what to do with these feelings so for now he stuck to continuing this rivalry.

but maybe he should've hurried up with trying to understand his feelings. because now he thought he eould have no other chances. he had experienced alot of deaths, some personal and others just part of his job but your death was one of the worst he had ever experienced. and all of a sudden, affter watching your death he became even more painfully aware of his feelings.

everything seemed a bit more dull to him. finishing the mission, deciding to leave early and eventually going to bed. every action felt meaningless and his mind wasn't focused on tasks, more so focused on you and what could've been. he went to bed with a clouded mind and a dull ache in the back of his mind.

even going into work felt wrong. knowing you wouldn't be there to tease or mock him. but to his very surprise there you stood. stood unharmed and rather smig standing next to koyo. he thought this couldn't be real and that this was a cruel trick. but you had noticed him and very aware of what he was thinking, explained everything to him.

you truly had one upped him again. he had yelled at you telling you never to scare him like that, but you couldn't help but laugh at how honest he had finally became with his feelings.

ryunosuke akutagawa ★↷

a very unlikely relationship to most but neither of you cared. you two had built a very much silent rivalry between you, always trying to be better than the other or just mocking the other whenever the chance presented itself. you found it fun from the very beginning, amd akutagawa at first found it annoying but too had found some entertainment in it.

none one knows quite why you both started the rivalry, not even you two. you just knew that this rivalry had gone on for a while and never ceased to be entertaining. and eventually you bith equally felt as if there was something more between you, not just the petty rivalry but something much deeper. sadly, neither of you had the courage to speak up about.

but now he wished he did. after all this time he wished you had stayed with him just a bit longer, to help him figure out these feelings that you had spurred in him. it seemed unfair. but here you were, presumed dead in the middle of battle with akutagawa as a witness. he couldn't believe it, he almost wanted to be angry at you for leaving him, for dying. but he knew that was selfish as this couldn't be helped. or maybe it could and he didn't try hard enough.

to a passerby he would seem unfased by the whole ordeal. but to people closer to him, for example gin, they would notice his slightly more vacant stare, the look of regret and maybe remorse in his eye. you occupied his mind still, and while he never could say things to you he wished to, he could say them to himself and think of you again and again.

only a day had passed to his surprise, it felt longer atleast. but it was yet another day of work for him made slightly less bearble by your lacking presence. but before he could even get near the building he noticed someone familiar on the steps. there stood you, unfazed and unharmed. he couldn't believe his eyes and demanded an explanation. one you gladly gave him.

he was thankful for your ability, not that he would say it out loud, but it had saved you. but he also wishes you never scare him like that ever again. and may of given you a stern scolding for making him worry.

paul verlaine ★↷

complicated was one way to describe your relationship with the blondette. complicated in more ways than one. you had met through a mutual friend years ago, rimbaud. despite his previous attitudes and personality he seemed act differently towards you and you the same. you both had started a simple sort of rivalry that made it very tempting to tease and make snarky comments toward the other.

but despite this unwavering rivalry, it did seem that you two did get along. if maybe you pushed aside your childlike rivalry you two would have quite the strong friendship. however there were a few reasons for this not happening - mainly to do with verlaine. he did not trust easily and it didn't help you both had similar jobs. hr could feel deep down that you were someone that was genuine, with little thanks to rimbaud being the one to introduce you. but he couldn't help but start these petty arguments as an attempt to push you away.

but as if it was a cruel fate, soon after he had started slowly letting his walls down. he cursed himself over and over again for letting himself let it get to this. a mission gone wrong and now he had watched you die. he felt as if it was a punishment and tried to move on from it but no matter what he could only remember you. he wanted nothing more than to forget that memory or atleast stop cursing himself that he could've done more.

the next morning he had not stopped thinking about you, no matter what he tried he just couldn't move on. that was until rimbaud had walked in and said he had something to show him. that was until you stepped through the doo, perfectly fine. he thought he was the victim of a very cruel trick but quickly realised after your explanation that it was your stupid ability. he was overjoyed of course but he wished you had told him first.

you however couldn't help but tease him about his worrysome state. the smug smile made him realise something. you were someone he probably could trust, someone he wouldn't lose for a very long time.

Identifying with made up/medically unrecognised illnesses does not invalidate your experience.

Identifying with made up/medically unrecognised disorders does not invalidate your experience.

Not having a diagnosis yet does not invalidate your experience.

Not ever wanting to, being abke to, or trying to get a diagnosis does not invalidate your experience.

The concept of "validity" or "invalidity" does not invalidate your experience either way around.

The DSM is already criticised as it is, so it means nothing about your experience when it still can't get things right throughout multiple rewrites. The concept of "validity" and "invalidity" doesn't help anyone other than capitalism/fascism.

Meanwhile self-diagnosed, transabled, and people alike are able to serve themselves by putting a label to their experience. Where is the problem from that? "They'll steal us REAL disabled people's resources" no they won't. You're blaming a minority group for what fascism is doing. I am cisautistic. Psychology was taken off of my disability funding despite the fact I need it, the professionals I have engaged agree that I need them, and anyone close to me would be able to say I need it. Did transabled folk do this to me? No. The corrupt system did.

It's no better than saying that xenogenders are making a mockery of the trans community, Dylan Mulvaney is giving trans girls a bad reputation, m-spec folk are making the gay/lesbian community look less legitimate, or that m-spec lesbians are the cause of violence against mono-lesbians. None of these are true. Oppressors will see you as worth less no matter who you cull from your community.

Ok ok so y’all know my Siren!Lindsey (and Siren!Nancy) hc but I have decided to share my other heritage hcs bc why not!

- Fae!Nicole specifically a relative of Bob OR The Lady of The Lake

- Fae!Yarn Granny, I feel like she’s similar to Nicole where it’s very very distant

- THIS ONE IS COURTESY OF @pinkyshy10 WHO MENTIONED THIS IN THE COMMENTS OF ONE OF MY POSTS, SERAPHIM!JC IS NOW A HC I FUCK WITH VERY SEVERELY. I imagine that one of the first Seraphim traits to get lost when it comes to hybrids is the wings but that Seraphim bone density is reflective of birds so JC and their family are all REALLY light for regular humans. Also I like to think that light manipulation is very muddled in seraphim hybrids however they’re much more photosensitive and abke to detect even the smallest changes in lighting (which helps Kelly find the absolute perfect lighting in every situation)

- I like to think that Patrick’s family tree is a nightmare of hybridization amongst various dog or canine related species. Bro’s got a little wulver, a little wolf walker (don’t know the actual name but y’know the irish one), possibly some inugami, etc. Infact I think this is SUPER COMMON amongst werewolves (and also vampires but to a lesser extent, I think for vampires it’s more of a “well we gotta keep the blood line pure but you’re close enough to a vampire so we just wont tell anyone you’re actually something slightly different” whereas for werewolves it was a sort of “you understand the struggle and also we’re similar enough to where we can help each other and understand each other better” type deal) 99% of werewolves packs have like very little werewolf in them overall (it’s like being Irish in America almost. It’s the ethnicity you KNOW you have the rest is a mystery) type deal

Pit Babe S2 ep 8

Im watching bc i need the kimkenta. Im so stressed...

Charlie ily but this is dumb. If you lose your abilities don't they go back to Babe and Jeff now too?

Charlie is just a good boy doing his best.

I know theyre talking about serious stuff but Kentas black shirts will always distract me.

I saw some one talk about how this season is ruining Sonic and North and i kind of agree. I wouldnt have minded if they had stayed in that happy go lucky will they wont they phase for this whole season too.

If theres alphas with super powers are hospitals equiped to handle them? Or are they meant to be rare?

Not Pete!! No no no, theyre fucking up everyone. Also Chris needs to chill tf out. Hes all sass and drama.

Hmmm, what are you looking for mr Chris?

So Chris has to be able to control what Pete can see right?

Kenta talked to Way before he died?? That feels a little to convenient, but im willing to over look it bc Kenta is in his iconic black tee.

Alan dont say youd rather be the one hurt, its depressing forshadowing to my brain. Im so worried hes going to die yall.

I actually do agree with Sonic, Dean should be watched. North just tell him you like him and want him to stay, its not hard.

Kim and Kentaaa, the babiessss. I kind of wish Kenta kissed Kim first but the likely hood of that is pretty low. Kentas probably too wrapped up in trying to end the thing he already thought he ended to really think about Kim maybe giving a shit about him. I want Kenta to show Kim how weak he really is, how traumatized his poor little heart is. I am iffy about Kim forcing a kiss on Kenta like that specifically, i know Kim is really head strong, but even just grabbing his shirt to yank him down for a kiss could have worked? Idk.

Raaaararararaa the writers really are just giving me crumbs of KimKenta. I almost wosh they had focused more on them or more on Sonic North. Both side couples are getting less attention than they deserve imo.

Fkcn Chris again??? I hope he gets caught fr this time. Ahahahaa, good boy Pete. With a gun and everything, im so proud.

This line of convo makes me worry that Charlie is gonna die again. Or Babe moght sacrifice himself for Charlie. I really gotta stop stressing bc it makes it hard to enjoy this soft moment ith Babe T^T

OOOOO SO WILLY CAN STOP TIME HOLY SHIT

XD oh these guys suck at disposing of hazardous waste i see.

I love love love Kim and Kenta investigating together, but also can they cover their own asses a little better, close doors behind you, talk quieter idk.

Kim, you are definitely more of a detecrive than any of the other racers. Kentaaaa nooooo RAAAAAA

Istg Chris has to have some way of blocking Petes power, something. Bc hes been abke to make Pete beleive him every time even though hes lied multiple times.

Sigh, poor Babe... he really just cant catch a break.

The hair that drops in clumps on the floors of some salons in Kiel, a port city in northern Germany, is swept up to be turned into fabrics that filter oil from water. Parents who want to buy their children cloth nappies instead of disposable ones can apply for grants of up to €200 from the local authorities. At the city’s biggest festival last year, the organisers got rid of single-use cutlery and replaced it with a deposit system.

Germany is famed as a world leader in recycling – and Kiel, as I found out during a visit this summer, has some of the most weird and workable plans in the country to deal with its trash. It is the first German city to be declared “zero waste” by the environmental campaign group Zero Waste Europe. The certificate does not mean it has already stopped throwing things away – far from it – but rather that it has a concrete plan for how to do better.

“It’s one step in the right direction,” says Bettina Aust – a Green party politician who was elected president of Kiel city council in June – over a glass of juice made from apples that had been saved from landing in a supermarket bin. “You have to keep thinking further … You cannot stay still.”

Germany has a complicated relationship with waste. Despite its status as a world leader in recycling, Europe’s biggest economy is also one of its dirtiest. In 2021, the average German generated 646kg of waste, while the average EU citizen generated 530kg. Only in four EU countries – Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium – did people throw away more.

Dino Klösen, a manager at Kiel’s waste management company ABK, says trends in the country’s consumption can be seen in its bins. Paper recycling bins that would have once been full of newspapers are now bursting with cardboard from delivery packages. “The weight of paper waste has dropped but the volume keeps rising from online shopping,” he says.

Awash with waste, cities like Kiel are exploring ways to throw away less and recycle more of what it does chuck. The city council has announced projects ranging from a ban on single-use items in public institutions, to installing more public drinking fountains, to teaching schoolchildren about waste. It is also encouraging people to make simple changes to their behaviour such as using solid bars of soap instead of buying plastic bottles of the stuff.

Other proposals are more systemic. The city is trialling a “pay as you throw” system where people are charged only for the rubbish they throw in the mixed waste bin. A report from the European Environment Agency last year found only about 30% of Germany is covered by such a scheme, even though areas that were covered saw an average drop in mixed waste of 25%.

“General waste is the most expensive form of rubbish there is,” says Klösen. “We are trying to motivate citizens to throw less waste in the bin by making them pay less for doing so.”

Even though waste-cutting efforts like Kiel’s are fairly novel in Germany, recycling is firmly rooted in the culture. In 2021, Germans collected more than two-thirds of their municipal solid waste to be repurposed – more than any other country in Europe. They burned most of the rest for energy, and dumped just 1% in landfills (the EU average is 16%).

This is why dazais better then you

He was abke to admit he's bi but awwww your to much of a scaredy-cat 🥺🥺

Oi! I’m better than that shitty mackerel

[tommyssupercoolblog]

Guys something that genuinely helped me was this matching game where they had different people make different faces and I had to identify first who all was making a face for a specific emotion, and then who all was the same person

It would get harder as you progressed and when you finished a level there was spinning things and other sensory stuff on screen to reward you

When we were little we couldn't recognize our mom and would almost get into stranger's cars because we didn't know how to recognize her face. So she got us this game and we played for about a year or two I think?

Now people we see all the time like our parents are easy to recognize. People we just met or are acquaintances with are still hard (or friends we don't see faces of usually), but as we see them more often we start to be abke to recognize them. We are still unable to recognize people we haven't seen in a few years because their face isn't fresh anymore, but if our dad gets a haircut then we will still know it's him even though it still startling/unnerving, because we're better at faces than we used to be. I can see photos of a youtuber I watch often that are taken years apart with different hair and clothes and still tell it's the same person.

I can't remember the name right now but if you can find a similar game to play it could really help w facial recognition if u struggle with it rlly bad like we do.

[potatosteinsillustrations]

Just so you get to know that there are alternatives to this:

Back in 2013-2014 Nintendo's President and CEO Satoru Iwata (rest in peace) cut his salary in half (along many of the other execs like Shigeru Miyamoto cutting 30& of his own salary) to avoid laying off employees at the company after the Wii U severily underperformed.

Here are some of Iwata's notable quotes from an investor Q and A: Source: Polygon

"If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease," he said. "I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world." "I know that some employers publicize their restructuring plan to improve their financial performance by letting a number of their employees go, but at Nintendo, employees make valuable contributions in their respective fields, so I believe that laying off a group of employees will not help to strengthen Nintendo's business in the long run."

In 2021 everyone was rightly scandalized and enraged when it was revealed that Bobby Kotick ( Activision-Blizzard's CEO and one of the biggest scumbags in the world) received a $200 million bonus after laying off around 240 employees at ABK ( Source: Yahoo News) Now your next question should be: How much money will the CEO and executives at Epic (or any other AAA studio or company doing massive lay offs this year like the Embracer Group, Electronics Arts) will receive and why are they receiving said bonuses if their mistakes have led to 830 employees being laid off.

And of course most people won't care, much like when it was revealed that there was a super toxic and chauvinistic environment in Activision Blizzard that led to many women being rampantly sexually harrased and even on of them taking her own life.

Or the severe crunch that employees at CD Project Red had to endure with Cyperpunk 2077 (even after they were promised there wasn't going to be cruel crunch like they had to endure with The Witcher 3)

As long as consumers can play their game sadly they won't care and that massively sucks! There won't be any effective change in how employees are treated at these big corporations if consumers don't vote with their wallets and advocate for the workforce's well being.

And this tweets ring true:

- The metaverse isn't worth 830 people being laid off even if it was the" next big thing", but let's be real it isn't and it won't. -This is another reminder that corporations aren't anyone's friends. -Also fuck corporations.

Lol, i’m happy for once I think. I’m getting better at communication. I was abke to resolve conflict without making it worse. I didn’t even have to bottle it up. I have friends now which proves my social skills are getting better. I’m hoping to be creative this year, it helps i’m surrounded by artistic people. I’m getting into character analysis for real instead of watching other people do it. I’ve also been expressing my emotions in general more. Happy new years. My theme of the year is expression, all types of expression

[foxtriestobiteandmaimandkilland]

Ever keep urself awake at night thinking of what would happen if ur house bruned down and what ud be abke to save and all the things thatd be lost. Like im genuinely getting fucking upset about this hypothetical universe where all my compyter files are gone, all my childhood diaries are gone, every drawing ive ever made is gone, all the clothes asides from what im wearing right now which is my fucking pajamas are gone, and the things id probably save r just my phone n my camera bc theyre light and expensive and hold a lotta shit on them. And maybe my sketchbook if i had time. But like dude ik realistically not everything would be lost but a damn good chunk of it would be and that just makes me so upset 2 thjnk abt bc like. Idk. I think it sucks bc bein a teenager is like. My life is my room. It is the one safe place in the entirety of the world. Everythjng that matters to me is here asides from my cat. So like. Losing my room would be like losing everything because i have nothing else. And because literally like all my worldly possessions are here. Anyways im anxious abt that now bc i was playing it out in my head and my biggest fear would be if i was jn a situation where i was sleeping naked bc it was so hot and i spent too much time trying to find clothes so i didnt run outside naked and couldnt even save my phone. Like id be able to get over losing most other yhings but my phone literally holds my fucking memories and without it i would literally forget so much of my life bc i have such a godawful memory. Like i need its calendar and i need the gallery and i need the messages. And yea. But shit dude. Id lose the diary i wrote when i was 8 and all the pictures ive drawn ever since i moved into this room when i was like 9 and all the books i have and all my sketches and my computer with all my files and my art tablet with the past few years worth of art and my clothes which mean so fuckin much to me like god if i cant dress comfortabky i am just fucking Not A Person and my fucking camera with all mt photos shit dude and if i loet my phone thats so many memories gone and so many ways to remember people i dont talk to anymore and years and years of cat photos gone and shit dude. Ok i think making a post has made me feel a bit better tho bc theres now that little voice in my head goin like What the fuck nobody thinks like this what r u on abt ur fine why would ur house burn down now when it hasnt for the past like fucking idk 18+ years ny parents have owned it

[wannabeeverything]

Their love also was the one that doomed the world to begin with

In Ekkos AU we see how the world is just.. generally better without hextech. Of course, a lot of it is probably also Silco not going full mafia boss mode, but still - Hextech is not here, things are fine

But not to Victor and Jayce

It's hard to say what exactly happened, but I wouldn't be suprised if Jayce was put in prison after his unauthorized Hex research literally killed a person

And so, he and Victor probably never actually met. They never became science partners. They never interrupted each other. They never doomed the world. And they never saved it.

Every world they meet in is doomed. And probably only one of them is the one where they are abke to save it. Only one where Jayce is able to save Victor.

The one where he is able to get to him. To tell him how he feels. To say who Victor is to him.

And Victor knows it's how it's supposed to be, even if it comes to him with age. He wants Jayce to save him, even once. And so he keeps trying new runes. Because he trusts Jayce. Because he knows he can do it. Because he knows he loves him.
