Beating the unemployed allegations

[idontmindifuforgetme]

No bc I mean it when I say I’m mentally ill in the least quirky way possible bc today at work I was stressed out to the point of tears about something and so I absentmindedly took the patient’s form to my doctor boss . And so he takes it and is like come w me and then he takes to his office and gives me a lychee. And I’m like omg I never peeled a lychee before. And he’s like really?? And he pauses what he’s doing to take me to the kitchen and show me how to peel a lychee. The lychee he gave me is still in my backpack . As you can surmise my fatherless heart wasn’t normal about this

Look, the biggest hurdle for Fox when it comes to getting used to Alderaanian customs or living as a Royal consort is not the upper-class life. Not the etiquette. Not the politics. Nothing like that. He got used to all of that while being in the Senate and around rich people for three years.

No, it's that he's a highly-trained elite soldier used to dealing with assassins, bounty hunters and alike. He's also a former Commander whose commanding style was essentially "I'll go first and you come after me and watch what I do okay let's go". He's also hyper-protective of his wife and husband because hey. That was his job for three years and he also loves them a lot.

So now he's still running head first into every dangerous situation, but now he's not wearing full-body armor anymore. Your Highness stop, Your Highness come back, Your Highness where did you get that blaster, please send someone, His Royal Highness is fist-fighting his own assassin.

Mu Qing ascending is objectively so funny considering Feng Xin and Xie Lian also do. Out of the people in your kingdom who accomplished immortality there’s this guy who used to be your servant but is now on equal rank to you and he‘s super rude now and also thinks you hate him because he remembers when you were 18 and lacked socioeconomic-interpersonal awareness

would you 🥺 please draw anwen (gwens daughter) as a teenager 🥺🥺 i love her to bits

*boomer voice* is this what kids look like these days?

her and her little brother hunt aliens and solve mysteries bc they look up to their mum and were raised on stories of uncle jack, uncle owen, uncle ianto and aunty tosh !! but since they don’t live in cardiff the most mysterious things they investigate are like ‘what happened to mrs smith’s missing cat’ (gwen is very glad of this)

Ok seriously tho, I've been thinking about it, Aym and Baal wouldn't wield the crown. Only the crown bearer can do that, and unless Narinder dies or lends it to someone else himself, the red crown will be in it's "fuck you you're not my dad" era. Its still connected to him, just inaccessible at the moment

i headcanon crown to be sentient tho, so i think it while it wouldn't be worn by either of the kids, it WOULD try to help figure out whats up with daddy kity and what to do (after a bit of brooding in the corner)

Throughout the thing, the kids would be trying to contact narinder and find him, and later on help in any way (realms away zoom calls are gonna go crazy bro, dont leave your cat kids unsupervised bros)

bodyguard au + bathtime fic for kiri ?

oooooh, this is fun !!! i'm thinking of like, some situation in which you are the child of someone who is big and wealthy, maybe owns a few different multi-million dollar corporations and perhaps doesn't do it all legally 👀

kirishima has always been in the service of protecting your father !! you know him because he is a forever shadow in your home, quiet and large, peeking out windows and making sure doors are locked. he only speaks if you speak to him first, but his answers are always cut short when your father is around.

— so on a night when he has to go out of town, you're a little delighted to see kirishima sitting at the kitchen table when you get home from work.

"hi," he tells you, rising to stand leagues above you. his face is sweet, despite his wide stature. shy. "your dad asked me to stay with you until he comes back, i hope you don't mind."

oh, you don't mind at all.

it's probably really fun !!! and you make the two of you dinner and he relaxes a bit after eating, even takes off the dark jacket he's always in. his forehead shines a little, like he's sweaty, and he hikes the sleeves of his white button-up to his elbows underneath the fluorescence.

he's still is a bit hard to talk to, but he listens as you prattle on about your day, scooting around the kitchen as you clean up. he offers to finish for you, but you shoo at him to sit back down and after a little bit of insistence from you, he finally agrees to have a beer. or two.

that loosens him up enough that the conversation flows a bit easier; you learn his first name, and his cheeks go red when you repeat it with a grin. he tells you a little about his mom, that he's an only child, that he never went to college: very basic stuff that paints a vague picture of him.

you know your father does some shady things, deals with shady people. why else would he need a giant for a bodyguard, that could probably snap a man's neck without even trying ?? kirishima tells you little things, but he doesn't go too deep. doesn't reveal what twists and turns he made in his past to put him here.

eventually you leave to get ready for bed, and the soft look on his face ALMOST has you sitting down for more with him. he shifts his eyes to the table, then, like he knows he's been caught staring too long and you wonder — when the last time was that he did anything for himself ?? not for your father, or even for you, but. for eijirou.

regardless, you slip on up the stairs and take your time making a nice bubble bath, putting on some light music. there's a bar on the second floor and you steal a bottle of wine from it and two glasses before nestling in the warm water, spreading your legs out to test how much room you have in the gigantic tub.

and then you call for him. a little more urgently that necessary, but it brings him to you quicker, suddenly appearing in the open doorway of your bathroom with wide eyes, flushing down his neck when he sees you.

you lean against the edge of the tub, smiling as you prop your chin in your hand. "i was wondering if you could help me wash my back."

the question seems to buffer in his mind for a long time before he's finally blinking, adam's apple bobbing. and then he's bringing the bathroom door behind him as he begins to unbutton his shirt.

Frustrating when a VC-funded company gets credit for being the "first" and the "leader," when they had a sub-component demo the same week we had a full-system demo. Like, we are easily 5-10 years ahead of them, it's ridiculous; their approach isn't even yet proven to work. But they get science youtubers talking about them.

Because they're VC-funded, they have a marketing/press department.

And because we're an employee-owned company working off of government contracts, well, most government contracts get slapped with an ITAR label (an old Cold-War-era law saying basically sharing scientific information counts as illegally selling arms/munitions). So if you want to publicize your work, including your company's products, you have to appeal that label. (Universities have specifically negotiated a blanket exemption, so if you spend your whole life in academic science you might never even know about this.)

(My previous employer filed those appeals several times a year in order to do press releases and publish journal articles and apply for patents. I think every single information-release appeal they filed went through, because there's no reason any of this stuff should be labeled as arms--it's literally the same stuff universities are doing. My current employer is afraid to, which I think is wrong-headed; at worst they'll just say no, and anyway, our non-restricted competitors are giving fucking lab tours to youtubers.)
