I start my minimum wage retail job tomorrow 😭 got any tips on how to survive?
Ok first off good luck!! And I'll try and give a few ajdhd
If you're like me and get put on night shifts:
Ok so for us we had to stay an extra half hour or so to clean after the shop closed, but a lot of the time customers would still be there after closing. It was infuriating cause we had shit to do and we're stressing about the time we'd be left with (I remember once I had to speed clean in half the time I usually had thanks to this). SO what's good to remember is that you're getting paid to be there either way. No point in stressing, it is not your fault they refuse to close the doors until the minute of closing. Just serve them if you have to and get as much done as you can
Interacting with people:
Default replies are your best friend lmao. I would have scripts in my head for certain situations, especially if they happened often!! For example anything that was age restricted I couldn't sell since I'm under 18, and I'd need to get someone to authorise it. So I'd usually say something along the lines of "sorry the product is just age restricted, and because I'm underage I need to wait for it to be authorised, it'll only be a minute". People were usually understanding if you give an explanation
Be polite with what you say (I know it's hard but it will benefit you, my manager liked me for being so nice even though she knew I hated people. It looks good). Just little "hello how are you!" "Yes of course!" can go a long way. Pleasant conversations can really help your mood too do not underestimate the power of a nice conversation with a customer!!
If people are dicks get a supervisor or manager to deal with them if possible, you are not paid enough to put up with that shit. Another tip is try to laugh it off after, I would rant with my coworkers about stupid customers and it made it more bearable!! Speaking of-
Coworkers:
You're not obligated to like everyone of course!! But getting along with at least some of your coworkers seriously can make the experience so much better, they're the only reason I stayed for so long.
The best way I found to start conversations was about the job itself, rant about stupid (or nice!!) customers and chances are they're gonna have their own stories to offer as well!! And try not to get on your manager's bad side, if you keep your head low and be nice you'll be all good, even better if you do get along w them!!
If you are snappy w coworkers it's usually understood anyways cause it Stressful working in retail, most of us have snapped at least once ajsjd just apologise after and probably try not to do it to a manager or supervisor
Retail can be hell, you'll meet some of the stupidest people ever. But laughing about it helped me, whether it be with coworkers or friends!! Cause at the end of the day you're not likely to see that person again so you can bitch away to your hearts content lmAo. And the nice customers can make it so much more bearable too, I still remember a lot of those moments and how little things like that could get me through the shift
#drag replies#THIS IS SO LONG AND RAMBLY AKSJSJS#I have no idea if any of that makes sense rip#but yeah my best advice is laugh it off#you won't be stuck there forever#I wish you luck!!!#you get a lot of stupid people but the nice ones can make it so much better

I’ve always talked about how much I love the process and evolution of an artist’s project. It’s in the process that you see all the hard work that goes into creating something.
Sure you can see some of it in the final version but there you will never see how many the artist started over, or how many little things changed along the way. It’s also super interesting to see changing ideas and thoughts for the overall execution of the work’s themes.
So seeing bangtan talk so in depth about their thought process is something I have loved reading about in the Weverse interviews. The way they sound so passionate through written words, I just know how much time and love goes into each and every song and also what they were thinking about at the time of making specific songs too.
Listening to the demos has also been so incredible. When they announced the cd3 tracklist i was so excited and let me say it did not disappoint; I honestly think it’s my favourite cd in their entire discography. Listening to the demos and guide tracks has been really interesting, especially the changing lyrics and melodies. Like how different is seesaw from the demo yoongi shared !? It’s insane!! The way he talked about it. Man I could listen talk about his music for actual hours. And the fact that they’ve always been so transparent (posting little snippets on Weverse and twt, behind eps etc it’s all so well documented !!!) about how they make stuff is one of the primary reasons why I love them. As an artist it’s so cool to see
#sarah rambles about artist process again aksjsjs#this is terribly written but it’s been in my head for a long time#reading yoongi’s interview just made me smile so much#I could talk about creating shit for hours too#s: rambles

monthly specials | april.
monthly picks by our networks authors, from our admins to you!
sweet n sour | myg . . . . . by @btsxdoll
↳ genre: Sugardaddy!Yoongi x Student!reader
↳ summary: Searching for companionship, a young hardworking CEO is seeking someone whom he can share his troubles and thoughts with, without having the downsides of a serious relationship.
↳ For one, I’ve had several friends use sugar daddies to pay for school and to pay off credit card bills and they usually just wanted to have someone to talk to. Hpwever, there are some that may want more and that’s where some of those bad stories come from so I would consider using a trigger warning in the tags so it can get filtered out. :D. Another thing, this is one of the few Yoongi stories (that I’ve read) that actually characterizes Yoongi in a good way. Yoongi’s like 1/3 brooding and 2/3 soft. The entirety of the 4th chapter just plastered a smile on my face because it’s honestly how I see Yoongi going on a date with someone xD. He’s someone to notice everything. Anyway all of this rambling for me to say I do love the way the characters are being written. Also I noticed this is a re-write and oomfies do I know how frustrating doing a re-write is. Good luck and I will hope to see more of it. :D - @namjin-fangirling-again
the constellations of the big and small spoons | jjk . . . . . by @vanaera
↳ genre: fluff
↳ summary: You’re sick and your roommate’s gone for her hometown for the next days so your bestfriend, Jeon Jungkook (who loves you cares so, so much), plays nurse for the entire night. What he did not expect is to find himself also burning hot–moreover on your bed with your body intertwined with his.(OR: you and Jungkook’s single brain cells try to make sense of the night except Jungkook has his heart-shaped and yours, well, is just plain weird…or not? )
↳ i would like to start by saying that i have been wanting to read your fics for so long and my list keeps growing akjsjs bUT FINALLY THE TIME HAS COME !! i of course can’t wait to read more because yOURE WRITING IS HEAVENLY !! seriously...you’re descriptions aren’t so vivid and real. like how you emphasized guk’s feelings? oh my word !!! i felt it all right there with him. the growth of the relationship was so wholesome and i am a sucker for this best friend trope, making my heart go boom boom. for real though...the way you had the story flow from present to past to present was phenomenal. you pieced it together in the most perfect way. i am SO pumped that i got the chance to read this and i already know that im going to love the rest. you are amazing and i have fallen more in love with guk because of tHIS AKSJSJ !! pure talent !! — @suhdays
how do i get to you again? | knj + kth by @hungline
↳ genre: fluff, soulmate au, member x member
↳ summary: Namjoon doesn’t remember any of the time they have spent together, Taehyung’s appearance, or even his name when he is awake, but they always remember in their shared dream.
↳ I’m going to start this off by saying that I’m a huge sucker for vmon. (To be honest, I’m a sucker for all ships, but vmon sometimes feels so rare that I have a soft spot for most vmon fics I’ve read.) I’m also a huge sucker for soulmate aus, the concept of someone out there who’s your other half so sweet, so cute, so fluffy, that it makes me melt into a sweet puddle of goo. So, the moment I saw that this was a vmon fic with a soulmate au? Yes. Fuck yes. The way you introduced the universe with Namjoon was done so well, giving enough description but also enough space for the reader to imagine the scene as well. And then, when Taehyung was introduced? Squeals. Squeals everywhere. The intimacy between them is so sweet, so innocent, but so strong, and oh my god, in that moment you made me want so bad for them to meet each other in real life. It’s enough to bring the lurch to my heart, make me hurt a little for them, before being patched up again with how adorable they are in their dreams. The hand holding. Oh my god, the hand holding. I loved the ending, how it was so simple yet adorable and my heart beats in excitement, smile reaching my face and screaming into my pillow at the fluff. The fic was short, sweet, and made me melt into a sweet puddle of goo. An amazing piece of work written by an amazing writer. Definitely on my list of fics I have a soft spot for, for sure. — @bangtiddies
thank you for all you do to create such lovely content !! we are in awe of all your talent !! we apologize for being a bit behind for last month, but know we appreciate you !!
happy writing ✨

I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND CHARACTER PROFILES ARE OUT AHHHH
Im gonna mostly talk about the Golden Deer bc I've been waiting for forever for SOMETHING about them and now I have it I'm gonna run.
But some of my thoughts on the other houses:
Black Eagles: Nothing really caught my attention other then they have the most people without crests, and Dorothea hates herself :<
Blue Lions: Well... that certainly confirms the theory that the Childhood Friends don't accept Dedue very well aosjsj Sylvain is the only one who doesn't seem to have a problem with Dimitri no wonder he's so willing to work on his womanizing he's the only friend who isn't judging him (bc Ingrid HAS to not like that Dimitri has Dedue as a retainer and even if it didn't sour their relationship completely it had to have put some strain on it. No wonder she and Felix are seen together so often aksjsj). ALSO ANNETTES A SWEET ANGEL.
OK Now Onto the Golden Deer akjsjs (I'm on mobile or else I'd put a read more sorry akdjsj)
FIRST OF ALL- THIS???
DOESN'T SHE MENTION AN OLDER BROTHER IN THE ADVICE BOX??? I could be remembering it wrong but I SWEAR she was like "i have to write my brother but I dont know what to write him about so tell me". Someone please explain is my memory bad or is Hilda submitting false facts to the ask box for fun?
Hilda is definitely that girl who said "um excuse me we're having a conversation. Rude." To a teacher when they tried to stop her talking in class aksjaj
I love how persuasion is right in the middle of her otherwise totally normal likes lol i can just hear her listing off her likes and just saying that aloud so casually and the person she's talking to is just like "excuse me- wait what was that one in the middle??" "Fashion :>"
RAPHAEL HAS A BABY SISTER!!!!!!!!!!! I REPEAT RAPHAEL HAS A BABY SISTER AHHHHHHHH HE MUST BE SUCH A GOOD BIG BRO!! PLEASE LET NOTHING HAPPEN TO HER IF SOMEONE EVEN LOOKS AT HER FUNNY I WILL DELETE THEM
ASSJSHAJS Lorenz likes Monitering Claude LMAO, its his #1 hobby. Also we finally have a reason to have a rivalry with Black Eagles- Lorenz hates coffee but Hubert loves it. (Also he hates vulgarity lmao bet there was at least 1 time where Leonie and Claude just swore constantly around him for an entire day alsjsj)
Also what is a worthy women and how much do you wanna bet he's been slapped in the face for phrasing it like that bc he absolutely has to have been socked at least once.
Ignatz hates lightning and there better be some good found family fics of the Golden Deer helping him distract himself during storms!!
(Also he seems to really like the church so wonder how that goes with Claude aksjs)
Lysithea still adorable, loves sweets and cute things and hates bitter food aksjjss also hates anything physcially laborious what a gigantic mood
Ashe also hates ghost and as someone who thinks they'd be adorable together I love the idea that they're the couple that go see a disney movie while the others go watch horror (but they still get scared by the wind that night and call Mercedes to come take care of the ghost aksjjs).
Leonie's is exactly how I thought it'd be aksjsj don't have a lot to say except she's the big sister of the group and has for sure punched Lorenz in the face
Marianne and Claude are at the bottom bc they're my favorites and I have a lot to say about them akshshs
Ladakdjsj why does "long rides" make me think of a dating profile?? "Hi my name is Claude Von Riegan, I love long rides on the beach and tactically scheming as the sunsets. Pick me and I'll let you grasp any part of me you want."
Anyway SO pumped to finally have stuff coming out about Claude aksjsjs after what feels like years of just getting scraps we're finally getting some gosh dang FOOD and we DESERVE IT
His dislikes are interesting, like its so clear he doesn't trust the gods at ALL kasjjs and he clearly has a reason for that which I'm sure will come out in the main plot since its all about the church who are just a bunch of people blindly following Seiros akdjs
(Also who's gonna tell him he's in a fire emblem game and is just as subject to the rng gods as the rest of us? Leaving things to chance is the underlying tagline of the combat system cause sure you have a 95% to hit but there's still a chance you won't 🙃)
Love that he likes poetry, he is the guy who can rehearse shakespear by heart but mostly just spouts the existential stuff but will whip out a real romantic verse when the moments right (unlike Lorenz who only remembers the romantic stuff). Definitely is the guy who writes haiku jokes using haiku's and it drives everyone else crazy. Also I hc that he means long rides on his wyvern and not a horse bc ever since I saw that he can become a wyvern rider I can't not think of him as one akssj (I'm calling the wyvern Goldy the Golden Good Boy of the Von Riegans, Goldy for short, becauze it makes me laugh akdjsj.)
Also wtf does planning feasts mean??? What does planning a feast entail?? Is this just a medieval way to say he likes to party??
MARIANNE'S #1 DISLIKE IS HERSELF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHO DID THIS TO HER WHERE ARE THEY AND HOW PREPARED ARE THEY FOR THESE HANDS???
PLEASE LET ME BE ABLE TO GIVE HER A HUG INTSYS!!!
Ok calming down I am SO fascinated by Marianne, cause she clearly has so much story to her and I for one can't wait to find it all out. Cause she's so different from the other nobles, all of them are quite confident and loud (in personality and color) but shes the exact opposite, and we don't even know what her crest is so we can't figure out who her birth family are and what happened to them that made her get fostered by the Edmunds. And the Edmunds themselves are just another hole because how do they treat her? I cant imagine its good? But perhaps it is and whatever happened to her birth family is why she's so depressed and lacks self confidence? Akjdkss Ok I'm just rambling now I'll stop but long story short I'm hyped to play Golden Deer and see what her relationship is with the rest of the house xD (especially Claude bc they have such different viewpoints on the gods and the church so their supports are gonna be interesting aksjjs)
#fire emblem three houses#fe:3h spoilers#golden deer#claude von riegan#hilda valentin goneril#marianne von edmund#vixenramblesfireemblem#i have so many thoughts but i just woke up so i cant articulate them akdjsjsn#thank u if you read this rambling mess lol

im doing well!!! did you watch mamas any? they were so late TT question!!! what were some of your first impressions of svt? how did you know you'd found your biases? -sss
ah good i’m glad to hear that!! and yeah they were way too early for me lmao but i watched a lot of the performances after, it warms my heart to see everyone reacting to each other’s songs and supporting each other :’D (not to mention nuesteen,,,i'll n e v e r be over it tbh)
and aaahhh basically i found them through my cousin, who’s been a fan since predebut i guess ?? we were talking one night in january i think and she suggested i watch the ‘highlight’ mv and dance practice bc it was her fav song at the time. i couldn’t sleep and didn’t have anything else to do so i watched the mv first and !!!!! jun caught my eye first, he’s gorgeous and his hair was blue, my fav color and i just,,,fell in love and he became my first bias. when i watched the dance practice i didn’t know that there were 13 members so i was Shook and it was just the smoothest most impressive thing i’d ever seen in my life and i needed m o r e
so after i watched a few more mvs (aju nice became my fav and still is one of my top bc i’d never seen or heard anything like it and the mv is just rly pretty and aesthetic) i went back and yelled at my cousin for getting me into such a Mess and she told me to watch one fine day….
i have no concept of patience or anything so i did that same night and was Hooked. i learned all their names within an hour or so and was just so,,,blown tf away bc of how funny and unique they are, and how close they all are (that kind of stuff really pulls at my heartstrings,,i’m a Soft) and not to mention so so talented, and there was no looking back after that, i’ve been obsessed since
but yes anyway, honestly i’m not sure when seokmin came in and stole my entire heart and soul :“) once i got to know them even better i guess, and i realized how amazing he really truly is like he’s so sweet and he has such a lovely, powerful voice and an obvious, visible passion for singing and his personality is so charming and his smile is so gorgeous and he’s not afraid to make a fool of himself to get people to laugh and i just adore him so, so much;; he can get emotional pretty easily too and can be a little naive and idk he reminded me of myself a little in that aspect ?? i can’t pinpoint exactly when lee seokmin took my whole life, i guess it was gradual but Here We Are
as for mingyu, i thought he was really handsome but in mansae his hairstyle made him look v intimidating (like,,an f-boi if u will asldjdn i’m so sorry mingyu) lmao but after ofd, i discovered he’s just a big, clumsy, dorky puppy who can cook and likes to clean and can do pretty much anything and i fell in love Ag a i n
jun has pretty much stayed in my top 3 since highlight, he’s such a beautiful, talented, charming boy and i think he’s very interesting and full of surprises; he’s also really caring and loving of his members and like i said that kind of stuff gets me the most :”)
i feel the need to mention hoshi too now bc lately he’s been climbing my already very messy list like there’s no tomorrow rip,, i’ve always loved him and thought he was really funny and his friendship with seokmin makes me the Softest, Warmest, and Mushiest,,and i’m really impressed by the Duality in this boy, the difference between his on- and off-stage persona oh my god and he’s just really very lovable, just like seokmin, two radiant sunshine boys
and of course, i have a special place in my heart for ALL of them, and absolutely adore and admire them all :“) i love how well they all work together, how they’re basically family, and how hard they work. it never ceases to amaze me how incredible they truly are as a whole and individually as well - they each have their own unique charm. and i really respected artists who wrote and/or produced their own songs before i even found them and the fact that they’re self-producing down to choreography just sealed it even more for me. they have my entire heart 💖
aksjsjs i’m so sorry this is so long, i tend to ramble when typing stuff out but i hope it answered your questions!! and pls pls feel free to tell me how your experience was like w svt, as u can see i can discuss them all day every day and i’d love to get to know u more too !!
#i rambled i'm so so sorry dknddnkf so it's under the cut#idek if i answered ur questions properly it's just#as soon as svt is mentioned i go off on 17 different tangents#anyway i hope u have a good day today too#and seriously pls feel free to write me ur own novel on svt in response#answered#sss
