#THEY WOULDN'T PULL THIS SHIT ON ME???

[cometblaster2070]

hold me BACK im thinking about pyrrha and how she was doomed by the narrative again because what do you mean she was doomed before the first time we even see her what do you mean her death was guaranteed from the moment she's there and what do you MEAN that despite her dying in the third season she still haunts my every waking thought.

it makes me go RABID because there is something that makes me want to scream about the situation because pyrrha was in fact destined to die; she was tailor-made to fulfil the doomed narrative of the fallen hero (and YES I am aware this is an animated show and of course, she's the "fallen hero" type for the plot but SHHH)

AND IT'S ENGRAVED INTO EVERY ASPECT OF HER CHARACTER FROM HER PERSONALITY TO HER NAME TO THE INSPIRATION BEHIND HER CHARACTER; PYRRHA HAUNTED THE FUCKING NARRATIVE BEFORE SHE EVEN DIED HOLD ME BACK IM RUNNING ON 2 HOURS OF SLEEP AND I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY.

you walk through the show watching her character without realizing that this is a dead girl walking. then when the pieces finally fell into place there was still that sense of misguided hope that even if fate or destiny had stated she would die there was still hope that this was pyrrha of all people and that if anyone could defy fate then it was her.

i'm explaining this poorly but what im trying to say is that every aspect of pyrrha's character spoke of her death that would follow and it is just heartbreaking to me that you can guess even from her first appearance just from her name and her inspiration being achilles and the way they show how she's placed on a pedestal and feels immense pressure to live up to everyone's standards; you can tell from the very first moment what could happen to her and yet you still hold out hope only for her to die at the end of the day, as foreshadowed by LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

throughout the entirety of season 3 there is that sense of unease and dread you feel when they keep building up pyrrha's character towards Something and that Something feels BIG and it feels IMPORTANT and it feels incredibly incredibly bad.

but all the same you can't pinpoint it and you hold out hope all the same because this is pyrrha and again if there's anyone who can reverse the tides of fate it is her. and despite all the hints despite the sprinkling of clues and the paper trail that is left behind in the aftermath as she walks through her tragedy you still hold out hope for her.

and then when she finally does die those clues and that paper trail is literally ALL you can see when you go back; you see how obvious it was how doomed she was and how she still went on and fought through it all. and pyrrha is still everywhere we are not allowed to forget her; she's here through tangible items like how jaune has keepsakes of her and how there's a literal statue of her but she's also there in how team JNR leaves space for her whenever they stand together and she's there in the grief and the love and the pride that is present in anyone and everyone's voice whenever they talk about her.

anyways yes wow no one haunts the narrative like pyrrha nikos and i'm going to cry in a ditch now.

To anyone who makes a fuss about the prices artists and crafters set for their work:

When I was still making and selling jewelry, I attended and sold my work at conventions. There was a sign on my table that stated "anyone who tells me to lower my prices will pay an extra 10% with each complaint."

You complain about not being paid enough by your employer. Rather than demanding a wage increase from your employer, you tell artists and crafters to lower their prices instead. You're siding with your employer's business model in all but name.

If a business cannot afford to pay it's staff/employees a liveable wage, they are a failed business.

Artists and crafters are independent business owners. Charging the federal minimum wage helps no one. In fact, it increases the chances of burning out. It also increases the risk of injury because now we must make more things, accept more commissions, and finish them quickly in order to make enough money to pay rent/mortgage, utilities, food, transportation/fuel, medical care, etc.

Because we're not making enough money, we need a job other than our own work. This limits our time and energy. Again, it leads to injury and burnout.

How does this help you? How does this help us?

It doesn't.

If you believe you could do the things we do, then learn how and make the things you want. It also means you will need to do a considerable amount of shopping to acquire the things you need. Then you need time to learn. Plan on spending years learning how to make quilts that meet the standards you demand? How about years spent learning how to make realistic portraits or cityscapes?

Save your money for the thing you want to commission. Talk to the crafters about thing you want from their shop. Many artists and crafters share a policy of accepting 50% upfront and the other 50% when the thing is finished. For shop listings, 50% upfront and weekly or monthly payments afterward. You will likely be required to sign a contract regarding this as well, especially from those of us who have a strict "no refund" policy.

Stop telling us to lower our prices. Unionize and demand your employer raise their wages.

Highlight of my morning? My roommate was grabbing a can of cat food for me to give the kitties breakfast and she accidentally smacked her head on the cabinet and I slid in like "how it chews to feel 5 gum.....thanks for the food" and she fucking LOST IT 😂

The "exposing" is because he's mad at the government for making him pay taxes

Of course his eyes are on Kazuki, watching his reaction to Miri with her mom, reading him like an open book as usual. He hates seeing Kazuki distraught and he knows it's killing him. But Rei stays quiet.

However, this seems like a moment where Kazuki is saying something on top of the ferris wheel, that gets quite a reaction from Rei. He's probably resigning to the idea that they need to let Miri go (which btw fuuuuck that and the mom) despite how much it'll hurt. I'd think it was some sort of admission (cuz ferris wheel heh romantic), but Kazuki is glum af and Rei reacts kind of angrily (determined?) in addition to shock to whatever he says. Idk, but

Rei isn't going to let this family go without a fight. He has something worth protecting.

I haven't been involved with coaching for almost 3 months now and somehow I am still getting dragged into the drama.

I can't believe that in the same semester I got to work in two different group projects for two different subjects, and in one we got to work together flawlessly, always comunicating and dividing tasks and stuff equally between each other, and the other where we divided each other in two sub-groups and the other subgroup does shit without ever comunicating with us and then complain because "they did so much work, so they shouldn't do the oral presentation in class".

Like, come on, do you think I'm stupid? Me and Uni Bestie are the oens who did the bibliographic research to find the articles to work on, I asked to meet up in an online call to discuss together and NOBODY answered me, then you appear a week later with everything done (badly) and demand not to do anything else, while me and Uni Bestie also had to edit yous shit because it was so painfully opbiously a copypaste of shit with repetitive sentences badly written.

Don't you think I didn't notice it was just so you could avoid the presentation, because you did all of this behind our backs without consulting anyone about anything. What if i didn't agree in your article choices? What if I wanted to partecipate in writing? I didn't even know you were doing it because you purpusefully avoided telling us to save your ass and say "oh no, but we did work so hard, the 7 of us did all this writing, it wouldn't be fair to make us present it!" and it's even written shitty.

Come on.

I'm suddenly remembering (and having sad and resentful feelings about) a time when someone made a callout for me - for using the terms TME and TMA, no less (like, that was the supposed "problem" they were "calling out") - and called me a cis woman in the callout. When my description says "genderfae" right there at the top. (I remember changing my mobile header from the lesbian flag to the genderfae flag shortly after seeing it too, since it bothered me so much.)

Ok but sometimes the most infuriating political stance a person can have is point blank refusing to discuss social issues with you when you bring it up because they "don't want to get political". Don't open the tags unless you want to read a rant
