Limited Deal

While going through her parents’ belongings, and, while cleaning out the attic, Tora comes across a letter her father left her; a letter with a secret that turns her world upside down.

A Magical gem

A dangerous quest and a race against time ups the ante.

A threatening darkness pulls at Tora’s very existence.

Will Kyle be the protector he claims to be? After all, he has his own secrets.

Man that sure is a Situation where two 14 year olds push the limits of each other’s trauma responses until they both reach extreme breaking points. and then they deal with the aftermath basically all by themselves. Isn't that super awesome and totally not kinda fucked up at all.

[florule-nt]

sounds like a good deal to me 🤷

I think a big misunderstanding is the power people give Curly to actually change things about the way the pony express operates or could’ve done things on the Tulpar.

We are talking about a company that docks pay for bad synergy despite mandated psych evals that should tell which staff members would work well together, only allots for 5 hours of sleep despite having literally no other tasks to truly do and locks all resources behind the access of one person. The last one is likely to manage resources and make it easier to justify collective punishment and blaming one person for it; someone needs something in “excess” or the captain gives in? It’s all on them your pay is docked. Instant resentment.

It’s insidious how the company works, it’s by design to distract you from coming after them, to force tensions to line their own pockets. With all the restrictions and forced interactions, altercations are bound to happen. 5 hours of sleep a day, limited sources of entertainment, no real tasks… the monotony alone would cause bad cabin fever, mix that with just only one absolute mediator and you get the exact environment that allows shit like in the game to happen.

The idea he could just complain and try to throw his weight around to get them to dig into their pocket for the crews comfort is laughable and misses the predatory and dehumanizing aspect of capitalism the Pony Express represents. Curly was and is still just another asset to them. Being a top show pony doesn’t mean he’s anywhere close to the actual top. He is the top of the working ladder, not whoever’s in corporate, he wouldn’t even be on the bottom step unlike what Jimmy perceives. The resounding recommendations he would get are almost mocking as they throw him out like nothing just like the rest. Being a shitty fucking company, how much do you bet they’d mean anything anyways, especially since he wanted to leave the field all together.

He made a fuss and they didn’t listen, he says he should’ve done more but you can tell he knows it wouldn’t have changed anything. Jobs like this are willing to make a sacrifice if it means even a penny more. Curly makes a bigger fuss they likely would’ve just found an “unrelated” reason to fire him, hired a more pliable guy or, terrifyingly, promoted Jimmy. The company was failing, going to shut down whether anything happened on the ship or not. But knowing that they were shutting down and that everyone, including him, would be out of a job with this being their last paycheck, he had to factor in not destroying the last bit of their financial stabilities combined with every other issue on the vessel and his own. He gets another cryopod or locks and then he has to break to them that they are not only fired but there will be substantial cuts to their paychecks due to the “upgrades” (things that already should’ve been in place on their part) on top of anything else that could be docked along the way.

You can blame him for saying it so early into the trip but then again, if he mentioned it later who’s to say it wouldn’t have been worse? On the capitalism side alone how would people in a galaxy away from home, out of a job and already stir crazy react? Don’t get me started on how Jimmy would have reacted if he realized he only had two days left to fix what would be a very hard to miss “problem” in his head���

I can’t even consider explaining this as devils advocate because it’s just facts of the world we and they live in and factors that heavily affected the situation. People are just so quick to make claims on the ease of the choices when P.E literally makes it hard to choose to do anything but suck it up.

listen I know it’s kind of corny and inaccurate to act like every single person in the dc universe knows each other and is besties but it IS endlessly funny to me to follow the web of connections and see how many degrees removed from each other everyone is.

like look at the arrowfam okay. ollie and dinah are together, ollie is homoerotic best friends with hal, dinah is homoerotic best friends with babs. roy is dating dick, has a kid with jade, and is basically an adoptive father to both grant emerson and rose wilson. connor is dating kyle and is constantly followed around by eddie fyers. mia is friends with a lot of the second gen teen titans kids, had an on-again-off-again thing going on with steph for a while, and is currently dating sienna. emiko is besties with courtney and some of the other recent teen titans. sin has a small army of protective aunts from the birds of prey. the real question is how far does it go before ollie puts a cap on the number of people who are invited to family brunch on sundays

Aite, this is the ep that finally got me thinking that yeah Peri is a bit in over his head w/ his kid.

Remade an old OC, say hello once again to Titania!

My alien-humanoid oc from Beast Wars!

(Click for better quality)

I was also inspired by @emerald-dragonflame and thought to myself that, “hey maybe I should bring back my oc for my oc x canon, with Dinobot, who was also an alien!”

“So your name is?

“Michael Morningstar.”

“Hmm. You share the same last name as our king.”

“Indeed.”

“You also look very alike.”

“Mhm.”

“You even have six wings.”

“Yes. I do in fact have six wings.”

“You’re also a fallen angel.”

“I am.”

“Huh. How interesting.” *examines closer* “you’re also very short.”

“Unfortunately.”

“Circles on cheeks.”

“Yes. They’re very round.”

Slides finger on the side of his face making him wince slightly uncomfortable, “very pale skin too.”

“Being made of light does that to you.”

“No nose.”

“Slits to be in fact.”

The doctor breathes heavily while placing his hands on hips, “I’ve gotten to the conclusion that you’re a perfect doppelgänger of his majesty!”

Michael blinks unfazed by this conclusion.

Lucifer burst through the door, “so how’s my brother, doc?”

“I was just making my analysis, I was about to receipt him a beach tan, oh, and I was also pointing out how many similarities he shares with you that I could almost say you two are family.”

Lucifer and Michael blink twice.

“Nooo, really? My brother the archangel Michael the bitch that casted me to hell be related to me?? Who would’ve thought that?” Lucifer annoyingly rolled his eyes with sarcasm, “soo? Is he sick or not.”

“Well. It doesn’t seem he has any injuries or carrying any illnesses, mostly signs of exhaustion due to the impact of the fall. Aside from that, he’s fine. Just requires some rest and a serious amount of tan sprayer.”

Lucifer scratches his scalp anxious and mostly frustrated, “that doesn’t explain why he fell!” Lucifer then turns to look at Michael, “are you sure you don’t remember shit about what happened before you fell?? Like anything bad, anything sinful??”

Michael denies with his head.

ive gotta say ive gotten rly rly tired of the genre of post by trans men that goes "someone directed virulent transmisogyny at me today under the belief that i was a trans woman! but lol im a trans man! accidental ally!" like i dont actually think its funny that someone insisted you were a man in a way meant to be demeaning and threatening because they mistook you for a trans woman. im not sure why youre laughing.

There's something about Scott only losing time when he gives it to someone. He gave time to Cleo and Martyn. He made a deal with Jimmy so that Jimmy could take time from Scott when he gets down to 30 mins. Scott only giving time to the people he loves and cares about,,, what the fuck. /pos

Grief

[chthonic-cassandra]

Was trying to articulate something about dynamics of pressured disclosure in my professional world and how I've tried to make sense of that and hold the stance of people deserving privacy while also struggling with the deep aloneness that if I did disclose a lot of things about myself that would not be welcome to many people, but I think really the point is just something about safety and confidence and being secure in the knowledge that it's not anyone's business that I'm queer or mentally ill or a survivor or pagan or whatever and if they think I'm weird because of the way I dress or the things I do or don't participate in etcetera that's not my problem. And it's a tremendous relief to be in an environment where I am respected and valued enough that I can do that.

And also that's nice to embrace my religion and gothiness and particular relationship to femininity more and to not care that my physical presentation (clothes + shoes + hair + body hair + perfume + [lack of] makeup) is to totally illegible to most people.
