"Y' see, Jake, a lot o' people in this department ain't exactly friendly to others," Sy tells him. "In fact, it can be difficult for me an' Pine to assign anyone to tickets that require interacting with others."
Jake nods, a little nervously. "IT generally doesn't draw the most charismatic people."
"Which is a damn shame because, more and more, it requires some decent people skills," Sy agrees. "That's why Pine an' I were thinking of giving you a promotion." Jake's eyes go wide with shock. "The way things are right now, we assign tickets kinda randomly. We're interested in putting you in charge of the tickets. You'd be takin' on a lot more of the people focused work, the level 1 support, and the others'd be pickin' up more of your programming work. But since we all know workin' with people can be a pain, Pine's made sure to negotiate some more money into our budget for you. If you want the job."
"By 'in charge of tickets' do you mean I'd be taking them all on?"
"No, no, no," Sy assures. "Just that you'd be making them your priority. And you'd be assigning the level 2 and 3 support tickets around the department as you see fit."
"Won't that cut into your work?"
Syverson laughs at that. "Given how much o' my day is puttin' out fires caused by one of ours bein' rude to others in the building, yeah. But that just gives me more time for actually managing y'all, keepin' us up-to-date on projects, security measures and other stuff."
Jake thinks for a moment. "Does this mean I'll also be responsible for Lloyd's complaints about not getting Maestro assigned to his tickets?"
"He has eased up on that," Sy counters. "But yes."
"But this promotion gives me the authority to handle him, right?"
"That's correct."
Jake nods. "I'm in. Thanks so much for this!"
It had taken forever to get the twins to sleep for their afternoon naps. Leia couldn't stop fidgeting, at least until you gave her the Charmander stuffie to hold as you rocked them. But then Luke wanted his Bulbasaur and you ended up with overfull arms. Some days you're surprised your own biceps aren't as big as Jake's!
Jake's performance review was today and you wanted to make sure to cook up his favorite foods. You'd already sent some of his favorite snacks to work with him. You chuckle thinking about how quickly he can down a bottle of Mountain Dew. The bag of gummy worms to go with the meatball sub were, hopefully, a nice surprise for him. Generally all the sweets in the apartment were homemade but you know how much of a comfort gummy worms can be for him.
And after all Jake has done for you, for the twins, how could not comfort him? Be there for him? Jake never once talked down to you. Never made you feel like your hobbies or interests were a waste of time. He always made sure you felt loved and appreciated. You'd been together for so many years but you still giggle like a teenager whenever you think of him. And you know he does the same. Heck, you giggle as you think of him blushing pink and smiling as he thinks about you.
He's been working so hard to make sure you and the twins were provided for. The budget was sometimes tight but Jake made enough and your commissions were a good supplement. It just made sense for your little family to have a stay-at-home parent. Childcare costs for twins could be rough. But you got more creative with recipes, clothing, toys; your families were happy to help with a lot of the baby supplies; all of it resulting in all of you being able to live a nice, modest but incredibly happy life.
As the twins nap you get to work on the 5-cheese mac you know Jake loves. You're positive his performance review will go well, but it doesn't hurt to have a comfort food ready for him when he gets home.
Jake was practically bursting with excitement when he came home. As soon as he walked through the door the twins held out their hands, smiling, "Dada! Dada!" It always made his heart melt that they looked forward to his coming home. He picked them both up and spun, making them squeal with laughter. He takes a deep breath and knows what you're cooking up for dinner, making him smile even more. He's almost tearing up from how loved he feels.
"Dinner's just about ready," you call from the kitchen.
Jake looks to Luke and Leia, "you ready for dinner? Smells like Mama cooked up some really good food for us!" They both start chattering and laughing as Jake dances them over to their highchairs and gets them settled in. He joins you in the kitchen to help you carry things out and greets you with a big kiss.
"I take it the review went well?"
He starts visibly shaking with excitement, "so well! Let's get dinner started and I'll tell you!"
"Tease!" you smile at him as the two of you take things out to the table, making him laugh. Seeing him laugh causes the twins to renew their laughing and your heart warms all the more for it.
You and Jake alternate dishing out the food for yourselves and the twins. Even though it's certainly cooled down, Luke still holds out his spoon of mac and cheese for you to blow on it. Meanwhile Jake is helping to portion control Leia's ketchup for her chicken nuggets. Both of you are certain she'd drink the ketchup if left unattended so you've developed a system of adding a little dollop to each one as she's eating. Sometimes Jake thinks she views it as a game to play and he hopes she never grows out of it.
After the twins are sated a bit, you and Jake can finally dig in to your own plates. Jake gives all the appreciative moans he knows make you smile. It helps that your cooking is genuinely so damn delicious.
"Now will you finally tell me how the review went?"
"I'm getting a promotion!"
You squeal with happiness, causing a chain reaction with the twins. "A promotion! That's so wonderful! So well deserved!"
Jake blushes, "thank you, Sunshine. And it even comes with a pay raise! I think, after a few months, we can start looking at getting a bigger place!"
"Oh, Jakey! That's so wonderful! I really feel like we should celebrate!"
"I can think of a few ways to celebrate," Jake says, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Definitely," you confirm with a giggle as heat rushes to your face. "I'm also thinking we should do a gaming night."
Jake's eyes go wide, "yes, please! Oh that would be so amazing! Not as amazing as you, but still amazing. God I love you so much, Sunshine! You're the best thing to ever happen to me---"
"I feel the same about you, Jakey," you say softly.

hello!! so sorry if you've answered questions like this before, haha :)
i'm an atla fanartist, and i've been looking for accurate resources on inuit or yu'pik clothing/hairstyles/accessories for a while with little to no luck.
so i guess my question is- most of the things i've found have had conflicting opinions, so i'm not sure if it'd be respectful for me as an outsider to draw water tribe characters in native clothing that they don't wear in canon? and if it would be acceptable, do you know of/how do i go about finding materials that would allow me to do so in the politest way that i can?
thank you for your time, and apologies if i misworded anything!
My best advice is just looking for old photos and a LOT of them, and keep in mind that the swath of peoples you're trying to research are geographically scattered (the phrase "Greenland to Siberia" is often used for a reason) and culturally diverse. The clothes and hairstyles typical of Baffin Bay Inuit are completely unrecognizable to what i grew up around in my King Island Inupiat family. It doesn't mean one is incorrect, it means we're different cultures, even if we're lumped under the same label by outsiders.
Some practical research advice for this specific topic:
Use specific terms. It may help to read into how the tribes and nations referred to themselves and using that
For strictly traditional things, try including "pre-assimilation" or look up when assimilating forces, such as missionaries and colonizer school requirements, showed up and narrow your searches to images or accounts from before that time
Try to find sources with input from elders. Do not underestimate the wealth of knowledge to be found in the oral tradition. Even school projects containing interviews with elders can provide some insight
I grew up in interior Alaska in the 2000s-10s with my cultural identity very important to me, but as such, my cultural knowledge is based on my culture and catologued through the lense of generations of assimilation and cultural exchange with more local peoples. My idea of irl culturally accurate Sokka and Katara and their family and compatriates is not the inherently correct one, despite my jokes and rants.
If any fellow Inupiaq, Yup'ik, or Inuk fans would like to contribute to this, please do

Ui idea tests, thrown together bc im eepy. Was planning on doing more but I spent all my days energy on the second one oops
#Danny phantom#I need to draw more or I’ll die <- guy who’s meds exhaust them#writing is so hard how do u not make everyone sound like you through a bad filter#Ik that’s unavoidable in some ways (like how art style will always look like u did it+not someone else)#but ugh. I’ll figure it out eventually takes practice+learning+all that#was planning on writing today but then I though ‘huh it might b fun to make some fake ‘’screenshot’’ concepts#also the portal basement has a more complex design but again#eepy#I think the gimmicky MySpace-inspired boxes r fun but idk how well I could keep that theme going w/ some characters#I also never used MySpace so that’s maybe just a kill issue#*skill lol#the command prompt one would basically just be for the portal#I keep saying that this project isn’t feasible buy my hyperfixated ass keeps trying anyways

PapyrACE 💚💜 Happy Valentine's Day!
#DDoodles#UT#Papyrus#AroAce Papyrus Supremacy#Lol#I'm actually really delighted to see how much aroace positivity there is around the skelebros :D#I was a little on the worried side since y'know - Sans especially. I've been in the fandom for a while lol I'm Aware#But genuinely there's so much lovely energy towards the bros being aroace which I - unsurprisingly - am very inclined towards lol#Me constantly: And you're ace! And you're ace! And you're ace! Ace for everybody!#I'm tongue-in-cheek about my Projecting Constantly lol but I do try to base my headcanons on The Actual Text haha#I think Papyrus is kind of a no-brainer lol he literally turns you down if you go on a date with him that's pretty textual#And you have the option to completely avoid going on a date with him and he still clarifies platonic affection!#I like him very much haha <3#As for Sans I know some of it stems from my Handplates filter lol - their codependency points to an interesting interplay with romance#I'll start thinking about the Vargas Dating Sim again if I keep on that train of thought tho lol#But to me it feels more than just ''He's too busy'' or w/e - Feels Different#It's all speculation anyway haha - I'm glad you like how I draw Papyrus! :D He's the sweetest boy and I love him!!#Wanted to try something a bit Extra hehe ♪ I keep wanting to make animatics and the like!#Storyboards - animations if I can swing them lol - but I'm very impatient :P And perfectionistic >.>#So have something a bit more sloppy and silly :) It's good practice for me!#All told it wasn't too bad! :D I had fun making it and I'm fairly pleased ♪#Hope you enjoy hehe <3 Happy Valen's! :D

Can you guess who my favorite Pizza Tower character is? 💙✨
#Star's Art#Star's Comfort Characters#Pizza Tower#Brick the Rat#Brick Pizza Tower#Sprite Art#Coolness#Remember how a few posts ago that I said that I'm the number one Bad Rat fan?#Well... I'm re-coronating myself. I'm now the number one fan of all rats residing in the Pizza Tower...#BRICK ESPECIALLY.#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BRICK MY B E L O V E D ! ! !#I've never had a character grow on me anywhere as fast as Brick has#Like. Any time I see art of Brick on tumblr I immediately like it and I even intend on reblogging a few#The mere sight— nay— the mere THOUGHT of Brick makes me ever so happy...#... and that's why I jumped at the chance in making an assortment of drawings of them!#It was mostly practice to perfect drawing my favorite rat but then I got a bit carried away#Some might notice that I've been referring to Brick as they/them...#... and that's partly because I've partly projected on Brick as I see them going by she/they pronouns#This rat is a genderfluid icon and you can't tell me otherwise.#Don't be surprised if I end up drawing Brick even more because I just love them THAT much!!! 💖

Hello!
How are you doing? How is life going? How's the writing going?
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi! 💜
I'm currently sick x'D So things could be better? But it's just a regular cold, I think, so it'll hopefully pass relatively soon.
But, before getting sick, I was restoring and painting more windows at our old family house. We've almost done half of them now! JFC it takes a lot of time and effort. Like, there are four of those panes to each window and there are nine windows in total that we need to get done — and that's without counting the HUGE one in the stairwell that's four meters up in the air because, well, stairwell. I have no idea how we're supposed to do that window. And I also have to paint the actual window frames.
I mean, it's worth it in the end because I love this house and it's a part of my family history etc. etc. but goddamn if it isn't incredibly tedious work x'D
As for writing, I, uh, haven't done much. I got A LOT of writing done last month but, as is my habit, I write very intently for a short period, then take a break. So the only writing I've done is the words I've added while editing. Which, then again, came up to a total of 4k this month, I think? But editing has been going pretty slow, too, especially right now since this is what happens whenever I try and my dad's dogs are in the same room:
At least it's the smallest of the three. She's still not quite aware of how big she is and thinks it's fully reasonable for her to climb into my lap like she used to when she was a puppy (it's not).
But at least she's smaller than the other two, fully grown monsters. I mean, try writing with this in your lap:
He's my cuddly little baby and I love him to bits but he's also VERY big.
... and yes, you can bet I shove my entire face into his neck fluff as often as I possibly can.
(And no, they're not wolves — they just look like they could be x'D)
But yeah. Very little actual writing is happening. If I'm less feverish I might give it a try this weekend, though? We'll see! I haven't decided on what story, though. I have so many I want to work on and so little time!
Anyhow. Thank you so much for asking, nonnie! I hope you're doing well! Or at least aren't as sick as I am xD
Take care! 💜
#Amethystina Replies#Anonymous#Amethystina and Life#Amethystina Writes#Or does she?#No#Not really#Unless you count subtitles#Because I suddenly decided to go back to my project of resubbing The Devil Judge#I completely forgot about it for MONTHS#Whoops#I also want to draw#I've been learning how to draw people's likeness with only linework#I've been practicing on Ga On#Because he's easy#So I have a bunch of sketches of him#But I want to do a couple more before I post them#SO MANY HOBBIES SO LITTLE TIME

Gonna have to take the time today to do some digital art maintenance. Stuff like downloading old art on deviantart that I lost the original files for, making a Ko-fi again, compiling old pixel art assets I made for DA but are free to use anywhere, stuff like that.
I really think I need to improve my relationship with art and posting it online, and I have a couple of steps in mind.
#simon says#honestly?? doing like... adopts again or making free to use pixel assets again for pixel practice sounds fun#i had a lot of fun yesterday because I finally learned how to make side profiles and I had so much fun drawing them#thinking about doing a cute lil sometimes project where I just... talk about what I learned recently#i was considering making it a comic but I think making it a free-to-read patreon thing would be better#anyways I am just thinking out loud#all I know is im gonna do ko-fi again#and gonna compile a bunch of old stuff
