#i also recently want to howl at the moon about how capitalism created a transactional relationship model where if you don’t enforce how you#wanna be treated#the other side will always try to lowball#bargain you down#or bait and switch#it’s tiring staying hypervigilant in personal relationships in order to not be used or disrespected#but I guess it’s better than being used and disrespected?#too many people love justifying their carelessness as mistakes while manipulating you with I’m sorry

Starving and wasting away etc etc
bonus:
Hes tall and huge and HEAVY and he is so overly active that he has to maintain an insanely high caloric intake to make sure his body doesnt collapse from the strain of everything. He will eat virtually anything but he is spoiled from the best takeout Gotham has to offer: 11$ shrimp and broccoli from the chinese food spot that closes at 4am- among other things.
#batman#bruce wayne#superman#wonder woman#dc#my art#mine#bruce#clark#diana#i will not make him a sugar fiend but. he is a donut guy. also#it is funny to think of him stopping in some random late night cafe in the full getup#and watching him chow down on donuts he ordered while he waits for drinks#the powdered sugar ruins his vibe so he waits until after patrol to get them#u just KNOW there was one time where he had an alert as soon as he got his food#and he and dick had to grapple walls w munchkins in their mouth#i dont want to write him as food motivated....but he can be bargained with if you have a favorite meal or snack of his#virtually every team member and robin knows this#and he doesnt even pretend to scold them bc he gets good takeout every time

Niche politics tip: If you start dissociating from politics so much it starts feeling like each side is akin to a football team or a game, you might need to take a step back in order to recuperate.
When you're so caught up in politics that you need to dissociate from the humanity of it in order to engage with politics, that's not a good sign. It's especially not a good sign when we are talking about human rights
#politics#it's especially weird when people treat your human rights as a game to 'win' regardless of how it affects you#there have been so many trans allies i've come across who treat trans rights as a game or a bargaining chip. and that's. kind of scary#this doesn't solely apply to trans rights but it's something i've encountered before#but i think a lot of people are so... desensitized? unaffected by horrible things that they genuinely dissociate from it#that's not a good thing though i think#in the long run it's for the best if you try avoiding this defense mechanism as much as possible...#...you are not the spawn of satan for stepping back to ground yourself back to earth...#...have you ever been on a plane where they tell you that in the event the plane goes down you put YOUR oxygen mask on first?...#...it's a similar principle when applied to politics...#...how exactly ARE you going to help like you want to and how others need when you are ground into dust?#and no this isn't 'be complicite!!!!' if people read it like that...#...this post is saying 'do not view people as a game to win because you are so desensitized to the horror around you'...

I can’t stop thinking about Richarlyson’s dads and how they’ve held onto hope that they can bargain to get him a life back. The failed quest to get Bobby back was another bitter reminder that there is nothing they can do if Richarlyson dies and they didn’t need that after what happened to Felps.
#QSMP#they all looked so down after#there is no bargaining with the Federation#all they do is give you hope and toy with your feelings#it happened to Felps and it happened to Bobby’s parents

i broke my favorite mug 😔i’m going shave my head again
#first I dropped another cup on it and the handle broke off but I fixed it that shit is Not coming off again thank you jb weld#that was a few days ago and so now just a bit ago I dropped it in the sink trying to wash it out bc the dishwasher didnt do it’s fuckin job#and now there’s a hairline fracture all down the cup itself. i only noticed bc it dripped my coffee on me#so i don’t think there’s any fixing it now#will probably never find an exact replacement bc it was like. a bargain bin ass mug. it was on sale and it was the only one there like that

Look what you need to understand is that before Jackal even says Kanin’s name he calls him his father-figure. This seeps into all of their interactions. It is inescapable and neither of them can change it.
#blood of Eden series#jackal (blood of eden)#kanin (blood of eden)#I stand by my objectively correct interpretation that Jackal is the person who sees them as a family#Kanin calls them a coven Allison calls Kanin her friend and mentor#but Jackal is the person who insists that no we’re a family#I want you to join me in Chicago because you’re my family#I’ll face down Sarren and bargain with Salazar to get you out of New Covington because you’re my family#I can’t hold a grudge against you because you’re my family#what do you MEAN you won’t forgive me when I hurt you? I’m your family

He bent down on one knee in front of her. 'Then what is your pleasure? If it's in my power to grant it, it's yours. Tell me your heart's desire and I will make it real.' She drew away from him as if his proximity might burn. 'Don't make such offers. You sound too much like a demon with such pretty words.'
Jenn Lyons, from The Ruin of Kings

🔥 + Anything you wanna say about Claude
I always felt that this was at best a lukewarm opinion but with the release of Hopes' plague upon the 3H's fandom I feel this take is way more, uh, dividing, I guess is the word?
But Claude as a character works infinitely better when he doesn't go out of his way to get what he wants and doesn't put anyone in harm's way. It's way more interesting to have this smart, secretive, curious, manipulative guy still have hard set morals that he adamantly refuses to cross and are arguably stronger than most of the cast he's in's morals, because making him a super smart guy who kills people for power is literally just a lameass bootleg stereotypical DND wizard who can't even do the magic.
People who like Claude being a power-hungry dick as his entire personality play Baldur's Gate 3 pick Origin!Gale and go out of their way to Ascend him to godhood
#ask#ask meme#okay the last bit was a joke LMAO but you get the idea#like basically the people calling ''little to no morals'' Claude ''''more interesting'''' don't seem to realize#that making his character like that is like. the EXPECTED route for his character to go down#i dunno maybe it's the media i personally consume over my life but Smart Guy Have No Morals is bargain-bin tier#in terms of ''interesting''

You used to teach people how to pan for gold?
I did LOL the very simplified version of it and it was always hot as frick outside so hiding the fool's gold in the cool water down in the sand felt nice LOOOL (until fall would hit then my hands would be FREEZING AH) If I am remembering right we also had this hella creepy display where you would look down the glass window and you would see this miner down there with a canary with him, I can't remember if it slowly moved or not XD but I kind of remember the sound of this motor sound down in the basement where we would have lunch in the room next to him LOOOL we even had a 'prospector pit' for the kiddos and I thought it was lame as hell LOOOOL, but fun for kids, they would 'dig' in these rubber bits to get 'gems' 🙃🤣🤣🤣 The geologist, at the time, would get so excited about his rock and gem collection lol (I remember having to fight off the mean Geese up there, those things were HORRIBLE) (AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CHICKENS THAT WOULD FIGHT ME ON THE WAY TO THE RESTROOM AAHHH I would have to run for my life through the gardens and slip through the little opening in the fence to ESCAPE LOL)
I also taught mock school at the school house to show people what school life was like in the late 1800s I had to ring the bell every hour! I actually legit hated that cause it was so LOUD when right next to it ah my ears are ringing just thinking about it ah and that heavy as hell mallet 🤣🤣 but it would be a different subject for each hour in the morning and then repeat for the afternoon.
And spinning thread (I was so bad at it oh my gosh) Talking about wool and the dying process 👍
and quilting (so now I know how to hand sew but the sewing machine still makes me scratch my head LOL)
and leather working (I would just talk about the types of leather and the process of tanning, I didn't do it myself that was for the experts. And I would only fill in when they needed an extra pair of hands 👍)
Taught some of the old dances too, but I hardly remember them now though -weeps-
and cooking in the old cast iron wood burning stove (where I got heat exhaustion cause there is a reason they would just cook outside or had a 'summer kitchen' during the summer months oh my GOSH) and I burnt EVERYTHING cause my pyromaniac self would make the fire too HOT LOL There were ladies who made THE BEST food in that thing though! like TOP TEIR BEST EVER! There is something about it that is just AHH SO EXTRA GOOOOD but anyway scraping out the ash afterwards was pretty satisfying and chopping more wood for the next day was liberating after dealing with some of the ANNOYING visitors (It was this dull as hell light little hatchet so it was all brute force and magic (finding where the log will likely split easiest) to pop those suckers in half oh my GOSH) This was also where my SEETHING, LOATHING, HAAATTEEEE for churning butter came from 😤😤 (cleaning that junk with freshly boiled water was the ACTUAL WORST, but at least I was allowed to use dawn dish soap and properly re-clean everything after closing for obvious reasons PFF)
This is only SOME of the stuff I did and had to learn so I could teach and perform LOOOOOL
//at least the laundry was fake but beating the rugs was one of my least favorite things like BRUH now all that GARBAGE DUST Is all over ME NOW AAAAAAA
lol whenever I hear 'oh man living in the 1800s would be fascinating' I say 'NO IT WOULDN'T, IT SUCKS, DON'T' 🤣🤣🤣
and the GHOSTS THERE I SWEAR I WAS ABOUT TO FIGHT SOME SUPERNATURAL RAAAAAAH
#hella minty lore this time LOL#minty YAPPIN#minty speaks#minty answers#LOL you got more than you bargained for#got a whole LOAD Of WORMS LOOOOL#but I enjoyed talking about history all day and learning new things ah~#I had to quit cause its such a heavy many hat wearing EXHAUSTING JOB at the time#I am sure they extra dumbed it down now and its not as cool cause it seemed like that was the direction they were aiming for orz#ask#asks#THANK YOU FOR ASKING LOL#I have worn many hats in my life LOL#lots of JOBS and this was just ONE of them LOOOL#minty needs to shut up before she shares ALL her mysterious lore LOL#I legit had SO MUCH FUN working there if it sounds like I am griping in some places here I am actually LAUGHING hysterically at the memory!

my laptop (finally) died the other day and must say design/print jobs from a phone are not the easiest but we soldier on 💪🏻
#mostly the print part because printers these days are allergic to printing images at actual size#laptop would probably be fixable were it not for the pre-existing... quirk of the display only working if you boot it up with the lid close#kinda rules out any restarts (has to be fully powered down and back on each time)#there is literally no way to access safe mode to even see if that works. so.#RIP Bill you were a pain in my ass#in hindsight getting a laptop called an OMEN was probably. you know. an omen#would also probably be fine if i simply replaced the hard drive but he's so decrepit is truly is not worth it#maybe i'll finally install Linux on whatever piece of shit bargain basement refurbished machine i replace him with#because at this point it's going to be running Windows 11 most likely and i just.#IWouldPreferNotTo.jpg

am still sick
it's been over a week wth
at least the headaches have gone away a bit
#if the versicherung sends the letter on time I will go to the doctor and let em write me sick to recover#been working mostly because we're understaffed but honestly fuck my bosses for being too incompetent to hire more people#they sometimes have the audacity to try and bargain with you when you are sick or seriously injured and can't come to work#like broski you ain't offering us more why should we sacrifice our health for ya?#but also that's the funniest way to get them to shut up lmao#“please come into work we're are severely understaffed!!”#“I'm sick and my doctor will hunt me for sport if I do so”#“yeah but you can sit down! or drink tea! or let the others do more work!”#“I will come only if you pay me more like maybe 50ct an hour more”#“...get well soon! Rest well! Don't overdo it! have fun on your little sick vacation!”#<-literally how a normal convo would go#godoframbles#work#sick

i don't want to post here today can you guys just watch aventurine bidding farewell to his past self
#look at the child you used to be. tattered and worn but so full of love and hope for a better tomorrow#you decided your luck is a curse because it's kept you alive and you stopped valuing life when you lost your sister#you keep trying to gamble it away. and you win every bet every time#and yet... your hands shake and you secretly fear you'll lose with every new gamble#riddle me that kakavasha.#you were never as ready to give up as you convinced yourself you were#your family gave up everything... so You could live. and try as you might you never actually wanted to squander those sacrifices#set down your cards and throw away all your bargaining chips#pay no mind to the black hole at the end of everything. it's time you learned to value your life again#this world is precious. the emanator of nihility said so herself. hold her words close to your heart#and when you come out on the other side of it all... free of the IPC's chains. i hope you learn to see it all anew#my stomach hurts

third playthru antics so far involve gale agreeing to the hag's bargain and getting his eye fucked up in the process <3 and tbh i actually think this is the funniest possible choice they could make as a party since they all dismiss ethel's "netherese magic BLEUGH" reveal as just a symptom of gale already having that shit in his system. like its too much of a coincidence for something so ancient and mythic to happen TWICE to the SAME random guy so theyre all like yeah no shit !!!! gale is the netherese guy !!!! we knew that like a week ago idiot !!!!! foresight is not a gift im givng these people i am so sorry king </3
#tay plays bg3#bg3 spoilers#oc: lilithira#no metagaming in this house we make stupid decisions and live with the absolutely pointless consequences like MEN!!#I DO FEEL BAD INFLICTING *THINGS* UPON MY PARTY THO but lily's beady little eyes are too cute to get ripped out im sorry :(#and shes chomping down worm after worm for the team AND took gut's potion so idk. i think its fair personally#also i feel like if he's That willing to deal with raphael... a hag isnt that much better#its also the only way i could justify doing the ethel quest at all as lily#its so hard playing lawful evil/neutral chara who's lawful in a *business* sense not necessarily a moral sense#i have to justify doing ethel's quest not w all the ethical Mayrina angles but instead the 'oh you didnt hold up your bargain? die <3''#saving mayrina being just a sort of convenient conclusion to that. JHFDGJFKGD#i think if she hadn't felt personally enraged by ethel hurting gale she wouldve taken one look at mayrina and said damn that sucks gl tho#and left <3 no investigation no meddling no nothing <3 who is she to get in the way of a fellow girlboss just trying to make a living ✌#GFJKGFJKGF
