#This part-time job doesn't pay

[misswoozi]

Sometimes everything is terrible and you're so stressed and anxious all the time that you can't eat or sleep SO you need to use a fictional post-apocalyptic universe, a tall blonde billionaire and a non-canon WLW ship from a 14-year-old sitcom to get through the day lmaooo

"And you loved her once, too. You were inseparable. I remember the day the Featheringtons moved in across the square. From that day on, it was, “Penelope this,” and “Penelope that,” and “Penelope and I are going to read Don Quixote, and we are going to be knights.”"

Prostitute fushimi is almost cute (I say that because I can't help but baby him) but Yata strikes me as someone who wouldn't want Fushimi in that kind of life? So imagine after Saruhiko joins scepter 4 brotherel he ACTUALLY goes after Fushimi to "save" him.

Yata Misaki doesn’t respect sex workers, there I said it XD Imagining this as an AU where Homra is still a street gang but S4 is like a high end underworld brothel owned by Munakata. Munakata is working to reform the red light district, his people are treated well and of course this also may be partially a cover for them to uncover government secrets and make connections on top of doing business. Yata definitely wouldn’t have any respect for a place like that (which has nothing to do with him being a huge virgin who can’t even think about sex without getting nervous, nope), I imagine he complains loudly that about how he can’t believe Mikoto lets ‘that guy’ continue to operate in their territory and take advantage of people. Kusanagi lets him complain because he knows Yata wouldn’t understand, but Fushimi is aware that before Munakata took over there really was a lot of sex workers being victimized and brutalized, Munakata is actually taking care of people in his own way.

Meanwhile Fushimi doesn’t care for Homra’s way of doing things, especially in an AU without powers where Fushimi is probably particularly poorly suited for Homra’s lifestyle since he’s so skinny and unhealthy and weak. Munakata though can tell that Fushimi would be able to pull in all kinds of high end clients, Fushimi has exactly the kind of quality Munakata looks for in his people (a pretty face and the ability to stab people without hesitating). At first Fushimi isn’t interested probably because he doesn’t care much for sex, but as he and Yata start to drift apart Fushimi becomes more willing to entertain the idea (and maybe in this AU Fushimi is aware of his feelings for Yata but Yata has a lot of latent homophobia and keeps making comments about the ‘frilly kind of guys’ that work for Munakata and it makes Fushimi’s nails dig into his palms every time, that even if he admitted his feelings to Yata of course Yata would reject him).

Eventually Fushimi does leave Homra and go to S4, breaking things off with Yata in the usual way. Yata is initially just angry but imagine as the time passes he gets more concerned too, because wait Saruhiko is going to become a prostitute right. Yata’s never actual been inside Munakata’s brothel so instead his mind is just filled with all these horrible scenarios, that Fushimi will be stuck on a street corner tending to gross dangerous guys and Yata can’t let this happen, wasn’t he supposed to protect Fushimi, he can’t just let Fushimi be ‘forced’ into such a life. So Yata decides to go and get him back, like even if he has to fight his way in he’s gonna save Saruhiko and let him know that he doesn’t have to sell his body just because he can’t keep up with the rest of Homra.

Imagine Yata storming into S4 and then just being struck dumb when he’s greeted by a well-dressed alphabet boy, asking if this is his first time. The place is super fancy, with chandeliers and winding staircases and a high-end atmosphere, nothing like what Yata assumed in his imagination. Yata manages to stutter out ‘Saruhiko…’ and the alphabet boy is like oh, another one for Fushimi-san. Yata’s like wait another one and then he’s even more astonished when he’s quoted a price, which is well out of his price range. That’s when Munakata shows up, dressed in silks and smiling as he says this is a personal visit rather than a work visit, please allow Garasu-kun to speak with Fushimi-kun, Fushimi is free for the next hour. Yata had planned to yell at Munakata for taking advantage of Saruhiko but he can’t even get the words out, just choking and overwhelmed as he’s led upstairs. 

Yata ends up in this fancy room with pillows everywhere and a huge bed, he’s just getting redder and redder as Fushimi suddenly appears from behind a curtain complaining loudly that he doesn’t have any clients until the next hour and he’s not taking anyone who can’t make an appointment, tell Munakata that he can service the client himself if he’s so eager. That’s when he sees Yata and his face twists, Yata’s all ‘Saruhiko…’, probably off guard because Fushimi’s dressed all sexily and Yata’s brain has shut down. Fushimi clicks his tongue and says this isn’t a place for virgins, Yata finally manages to reboot his brain as he’s like don’t give me that monkey, I wanna talk to you. Fushimi scoffs and tells Yata to run along back to his thugs at Homra, Yata’s like not without you, I came to save you.

Fushimi lets that sink in and then just laughs, like you really are that stupid huh. Yata tries to tell Fushimi that he doesn’t have to do this, like you’re a genius you don’t have to sell yourself. Fushimi is like you don’t get it at all do you, this isn’t something Fushimi needs to be saved from and even if he did, he’s certainly not going to ask Yata to save him. Yata’s like you can’t be doing this because you want to and Fushimi just throws that in Yata’s face, of course he wants to. Yata tries to argue about Fushimi being in ‘a place like this’ and Fushimi shuts him down, this place is nicer than that run down Homra you love so much (somewhere, Kusanagi twitches). I imagine they have an argument until someone knocks on Fushimi’s door and he tells Yata to get lost, Yata’s like not without you. Fushimi smirks and says if Yata wants to speak to him so bad he’ll have to pay the fee. Yata ends up escorted out but imagine him just standing outside for a while, looking at the meager amount of money in his pocket and deciding fine, he’ll be back and Fushimi will have to listen to him next time.

i think it's hilarious how a big part of shawn's character is that he is BROKE all the time. he literally could be working anywhere, win millions just on poker or get a high paying job with his ability but he just decided to be a fake psychic police consultant and spend all his money on deep fried cheese

Now will ANY OF THEM ACTUALLY Call Me Back???

[eats-the-stars]

hate my sister's shitty good for nothing boyfriend. can you imagine being a 30yo man with two kids who won't even scramble an egg. Not for his kids, not for his girlfriend, not for himself. literally if my sister doesn't leave out pre-made meals when he's watching the kids he will rip up bread or pour them dry cereal or open a granola bar and make himself microwave dinners. like, lowest effort possible. but if i mention this to my sis, she'll be like "no he's definitely cooked for the kids! he scrambled an egg for them once! i watched him do it!" but it's like...so he scrambled one egg in the last five years. just to like, prove he can? at your direct insistence? should we all clap? like seriously. hate this guy. had to really hold back recently because he had someone over and he was interacting with the kids more than usual for appearances, and he had to keep asking me and my sis what the 5yo was signing because he barely bothered to learn his own son's primary form of communication. i was so tempted to say "that one means 'go home' but you wouldn't know that because you don't take them anywhere." so hard to hold that in. If I had to describe this man in two words they would be these: Low Effort. Not quite bare minimum, but JUST enough to convince my sister that it would be too much hassle to get rid of him. he's stupid as fuck, but just smart enough to quickly stop shit like screaming obscenities at the kids for doing normal kid things. and he once stomped on my headphones and broke them in a fit of rage, but gave my sister money to replace them so it was "fine." Like, my sister thinks that he's just struggling with his anger issues, because he had a bad childhood, blah, blah, and oh he would never actually hurt her or the kids. and like, good for you, but i don't trust like that. genuinely hoping he gets struck by lightning and dies instantly.

[quemirabobo]

I just realized that I've been putting too much on my plate lately and instead of getting some of that shit done all I end up with is feeling sick every week and things keep accumulating and I stress myself ten times more and I end up doing nothing, reading something to distract myself of the fucking titanic quest I put my ass on

btw my mom said it. she said it to me looking me in the eyes. i told her about how difficult it was for me to get through those family reunions, and she admitted it was very important to her, important enough that she was just going to do it anyway.

[alliluyevas]

when i was trying to get out of my previous job i applied to over 100 jobs over a six month period (started applying in january, left my old job at the end of the school year in june and tbh i regret not leaving earlier on some level bc i was in an absolute mental health pit by the end of the year, and i then started job hunt full time and wasn’t hired for my current job until august) and i got six interviews, two second round interviews (both for jobs that didn’t end up hiring me) and two jobs that accepted me. insanely demoralizing.

[em-dashes]

sometimes when it's hard to write, you just have to power through it and eventually something will click. but other times, it's a sign you need to take a break from the wip and come back to it with fresher eyes. the struggle is determining which time is which and wishing you had a magic 8 ball that told you how to make the writing good
