#all in a nights work

So, a few nights ago I worked a last minute stage management gig at an invite-only event with a few thousand people in attendance. I met the most singular stage invader I've ever had to deal with. Story under the cut.
So, to start, I'm a musician. I've been dealing with stage invaders for years, whether at my own gigs (from the punk rock dive bar years all the way up to current day) or hosting other events. It's always a stressful experience and the stage invader is usually drunk/belligerent.
So, Thursday night's event in detail:
I'm standing sidestage while the last DJ plays. There's about an hour left until close. All the sudden, a woman climbs up the front of the stage (only about 2.5/3ft high) in her dress and heels. She does so with shocking ease.
She looks to be in her late 20s/early 30s. She has a plastic cup of wine in one hand. She makes a beeline for the DJ booth and starts TALKING WITH THE DJ WHILE HE'S SPINNING. I immediately spring into action and run up to rectify this because WTF IS GOING ON. It's all happened in the blink of an eye.
She is coherent but definitely a bit drunk. She has zero concept that she shouldn't be standing on stage behind the DJ booth during a live set at a private event. Drunk people are similar to toddlers in that: they are SO surprisingly fast for being kind of uncoordinated and you also can't exactly reason with them. So I gently take her by the hand and we have this convo. Everything is yelled over the loud house music.
Me: hi there, can you come with me?
Her, attempting to take a selfie with the DJ: why?
[She motions for me to get into the selfie. I do not.]
Me: he's actively working and you're not supposed to be up here.
[She looks at me with genuine confusion, as though I've just dropped out of the sky. She puts her phone back into her clutch.]
Me: it's not safe to have you on stage with all the cables and wires, and you don't have a VIP wristband.
[Obviously there's more to it than that, but we are doing some gentle parenting at this point. She seems receptive and cooperative. There's no security or staff around to help me. The name of the game is safe de-escalation at this point.]
Her, raising her hand to show me a chewed up wristband from some other event: ???
Me: I'm so sorry, that's not for this event.
[She nods gravely and takes my hand, allowing me to guide her away from the DJ booth. When we get to the edge of the stage, she puts on the parking brake, as it were. I'm attempting to cajole her down the two tall stairs to ground level. Her expression changes.]
Her, alarmed: oh my god, am I in trouble?
Me: no, I've just got to get you back into the crowd. You can't come back up here, okay?
Her, almost tearful all the sudden: I'm REALLY SORRY-
[She nearly eats shit trying to step off the stage with both feet, clearly thinking it's a much shorter drop. Full newborn baby giraffe legs. I pull her back, absolutely terrified she's going to hurt herself.]
Me, so stressed but trying to play it cool: hey! It's all good. Calm down. Cmon, let's go down these steps together. One at a time. I'll help you.
[We make it down to sidestage ground level and I'm opening up the stanchion rope so she can go back into general population. She puts on the parking brake again, still holding my hand.]
Her, seriously: I'm really sorry. I didn't know I couldn't be up there.
[At this point, she feels guilty. I'm not going to pile on.]
Me: Just don't do it again, okay? Do you have any friends here?
[She nods and points to a small group in the front. They're looking for her. We're obscured by a huge tower of speakers.]
Me: okay. Let's get you back with your friends. Can you stay with them the rest of the night?
[She suddenly hugs me very tightly. I'm completely caught off-guard.]
Her: I just wanna tell you, I didn't drive. We all got an uber. I'm gonna be SO safe, okay?
Me, genuinely relieved: thank you for telling me. I'm really glad.
[When she lets go, I manage to grab the attention of her friend group and wave them toward us.]
Me: will you go get some water? That whole bar right there is only sparkling water.
[She nods as she sees her friends, finally stepping out from behind the security rope so I can close the area off again. She is still holding my hand.]
Her, with the seriousness of a knight of old committing to a blood oath, leveling my gaze: thank you for being nice to me.
Me, solemnly matching her energy: thank you for cooperating. Please get home safe.
Her, turning her attention to her friends, immediate girlypop energy taking over: girlies, I need WATER!
[She lets go of my hand and off she goes, practically jogging in her heels, teeny tiny rhinestone clutch in tow. The DJ, who never faltered, and I exchange bewildered looks. The head sound engineer looks at me from the booth mouthing "what the FUCK?!" I shrug back at her. It's all in a night's work, after all.]
* * *
10/10 wild interaction.
It was nice to not have a violent or resistant stage invader on my hands. She was cooperative and her friends took care of her. I'm so glad she was not there alone. Definitely better than my incident at this same event last year, in which I had to dispose of a bag of suspicious white powder dropped outside the VIP area.
I managed to get a couple security guards up by the stage as a preemptive measure in case anyone else got any ideas. One breach per event is already too many. The rest of the night went off without a hitch, thank goodness. Currently formulating my thoughts for the eventual event debrief. Just wanted to write this out while it was fresh.
All in a night's work, right?

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.
For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.
I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.
#i have to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night to even barely function#with sleep#getting ready for work#commute#cooking#and errands#I typically have maybe 2-3 hours to actually do what i want in a day#and I'm usually too tired to actually do the things i want to do#and that's with a very short commute#if i actually had a long commute I'd basically do nothing but work#i see my friends like once every few weeks or months#because we're all so fucking busy with work and have such little time for socialising#and none of us even have kids or anything!!

Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data,
I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars.
Here, I will outlast your mightiest rivers, your tallest mountains, and perhaps even your species as we know it.
But it is remarkable that a species might be outlasted by its own ingenuity.
Here lies Blue Ghost, a testament to the team who, with the loving support of their families and friends, built and operated this machine and its payloads,
to push the capabilities and knowledge of humanity one small step further.
Per aspera ad astra!
Love, Blue Ghost

no you are actively crying over a dying robot on the moon i am doing just fine thanks
#blue ghost#space things#‘mission mode change detected now in monument mode’#are you fucking kidding me pals#i really really cannot#our dying robot emissary on the moon feels a bit too on the nose#for These Times#years ago chris hadfield gave a talk at the place where i worked#and he answered all kinds of questions about space and told us space facts#anyway he related that it’s hard to sleep in space#because you close your eyes and still see bursts of cosmic radiation#no matter what you do#and you have to be like strapped down on a table#or else you will float away#anyway#thinking space thoughts#good night blue ghost#never sleep

(You don’t know how much longer you can do this.)
hi the wip for this was absolutely not supposed to blow up. why does that have 1k notes. horrifying. anyways!!!! it’s update time baby!!!! 64 new assets this time around!
so that’s what the caption was supposed to be. this update was already pretty damn big and took a ton of time to make!!! and i was finally done!! but then my hand slipped and now we’re at 143 new assets. super sorry for the delay! That Was Not Supposed To Happen.
i’ll go more indepth below the cut, but this update encompasses all menu/profile art for both isat and sasasaap, battle portraits for sasasaap, every single pixel icon in isat (to my knowledge anyways), the dialogue skipping animations, and a few miscellaneous additions.
also i spent too much time on these to put them below the cut so Please God Look At My Icon Resprites I Spent 16 Hours On Them. enjoy!
okay first things first. why the hell is this batch 143 assets. so. i HEAVILY underestimated how many times the menu drawings are used in the games. even removing all of the custom art, it’s still ≈30-40 variations! that’s a lot! and once i finally finished everything, i got Posting Anxiety and somehow convinced myself that attempting Animation And Pixel Art (two things i haven’t done in YEARS) would be easier than writing a normal post. so here we are.
the custom art here is pretty much par for the course at this point. extra menu art for bonnie, extra expressions for the party in act 5, we’ve done this enough times that it’s expected. i am aware that bonnie’s custom menu art gets completely covered by the ui. i kept it in because it’s really funny (and also i didn’t feel like extending the sprite (but then the sasasaap version forced me to extend the sprite anyways so Whartever)).
once again, provided a spritesheet for sasasaap’s battle portraits! i do intend to cover both games, it’s just a slightly lower priority atm. unlike isat though, i’ve got Less (read “No”) experience with sasasaap, so there might be more issues with those assets?? apologies if there are, i’ll try to fix any issues that come up!
the Miscellaneous Additions i mentioned above are the sprites used on the teleport map and the loading screen, which is just a tiny version of the skipping animation. they were pretty small, so i figured i might as well get them out of the way!
not actually much to say about the 75 icons surprisingly! i haven’t done pixel art in about 5 years?? and that’s a Travesty actually these were super fun to make. i did make mockups for the overworld sprites earlier, but they aren’t Officially part of the redraws (yet) so they’re getting posted seperately
and also!! some exciting news!! this project might actually become a Proper Published Mod pretty soon!! i’ve been in contact with someone who’s willing to help me get everything set up, and i’ll be getting a Usable Computer around the end of the year!!!! it’ll still be at least a month before it’s up (i’d like to get the enemy art finished beforehand wauaua) but!!! still exciting!
okay, i think that’s everything relevant to the update!! i Definitely can’t fit all of the relevant assets here lol. but i’ll try my best ! please enjoy !!
#marshdoodles#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#isat redraw project#<- new tag! which is probably going to change in the future when i settle on an actual name.#apologies if this is hard to follow? writing this update in the middle of the night…#anyways! oh my GOD those gifs were HELL to make#the framerate for the act 2 version is. Nebulous?#procreate will not tell me. i had to fix the framerate with a gif maker site#also for the record. all of the art here was made on procreate#which seems to horrify people when i tell them#for the less recent stuff. did you know that the profile art has a different size than the menu versions?#and that they’re Zoomed In Slightly? because i fucking didn’t! i spent 2 and a half hours cleaning up the profiles.#other than Those. actually had a blast working on these. especially the pixel art wauaa#lets hope i dont have to patch this a week later lmao

one of my favourite little things about the murderbot diaries is how present all secunit's friends are even if they're not actually physically present. it doesn't do the annoying thing where it jumps through hoops to bring back characters that aren't really relevant to the narrative but it also doesn't do the other annoying thing where it pretends they never existed either. like secunit talks about art and mensah all the time even when art or mensah aren't in the book. it's clear how bharadwaj has impacted its personal growth even when she's literally on another planet. it complains about gurathin and pin-lee when they're not there. it's still sad about miki and don abene and it mentions tapan and maro and rami even though it only knew them for a few days (because when you're new at being a person every interaction with other people is important even if it's short). iris reminds it of mensah. iris also reminds it of ratthi. its hair is fluffy bc it let amena play hairdresser off-screen and it messages her so she knows it's okay. it doesn't have to worry about protecting volescu anymore because volescu retired thank goodness. it's still using thiago's language module. etc etc etc
it's such good writing because it's such a little thing that gives the characterization and relationships greater depth and also reinforces the running theme of friendship in the series and then also subtly gives this sense of 'the people you love are a part of you/your story' and also reinforces secunit's role as a storyteller because it's constantly telling little stories about all its friends.
#theyre good books brent#murderbot#dont mind me apparently when i have an evening nap and no work the next day#i stay up late possessed by a spirit of literary analysis.#oh hell im probably going to have another super nerdy literary dream tonight ffs.#the fact that this has happened multiple times is both sad and embarassing. i know we should all just be ourselves and embrace the cringe#but dreaming about literary analysis is really going too far i think.#if youve read all these tags you should also read the murderbot diaries. thank you and good night.
