The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie's desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point
#boston#history#music#I also love that the songs ends with Charlie's wife throwing a sandwich through the window every day#instead of the train fare#because she was probably better off single

Popping in to say your sandwich mafia au has got me really into sandwiches and I'm proud to report that for the first time in nearly a decade I'm not as scared or anxious to eat bread (in a homemade sandwich situation). The ED don't like bread, but I want to experience Simon’s sandwiches, so thank you dearly for your writing and the homemade reuban I'm gonna enjoy while reading your series 💜
As someone who has also struggled with an ED, WAY TO GO!!! We take every victory that comes to us even if that victory is a sandwich(good choice with the reuban btw those are my favorite). Here's some fic for you, as a little treat. Ghost being nice.
-
"I don't mean to be asking questions-" You start.
"But you're gonna push past the discomfort," "Simon" raises a brow, there's no danger in his eyes, just a sudden wariness that makes you feel a bit off balance. You expected his guard to raise immediately. You must not register as much of a problem, or he figures you're smart enough to know what not to ask.
"What are you doing running a sandwich shop?" You wave your hand to indicate his... everything. Not exactly what you think of when you think of a restaurant owner. A hit man maybe, but not a restaurant owner.
"I like food." Simon answers plainly. It's so simple it takes you by surprise.
"Oh."
"Sorry ta disappoint, no sob story here." He shrugs, "Why d'you come in here?"
Question for a question you suppose. "Food's good," You shrug, "and cheap. It's hard out there." You mean it to come off as a joke but you feel sort of pathetic telling a mobster that you're underpaid and counting coupons at the local shops.
"You know, uh," Simon clears his throat a little and you give him a look of horror.
"I don't need a job from you." You tell him. Simon makes a face, you can see his nose pinch under his mask, the exaggerated grimace made all the more unappealing by the zig-zag of scars pulling at his skin.
"Shut the fuck up and lemme be a fuckin' nice guy, alright? Shit." He shakes his head like you're being unreasonable about not wanting to join the mafia. "My girl-" You make a face, "-She ain't in the family, so quit complainin'." He points a finger at you and you shrink back. "My girl-" he looks to you for complaint, you give him a thumbs up, "-needs some 'elp with 'er-" he waves a hand, "-whatever she does, and she pays good." He stares at you. You're not sure if you're allowed to talk.
"You have a girl?" You don't think you can tackle the rest of it just yet, so you start with the part you find hardest to believe. Simon gives you a withering look and pulls his phone from his pocket. He swipes a few notifications from the screen and turns it your way.
Honestly the spiderweb cracks on his phone don't help, but that's definitely a woman on his lock screen. She's grinning ear to ear and holding up what appear to be divorce papers. You give Simon his look right back over the top of the phone. It's the same girl he threw out of the shop two months ago.
"Happy?" Simon grumps, locking his phone and shoving it back in his pocket.
"Don't people usually have a wedding photo as their lock screen?"
"You want the job of not?" Simon side-steps your question.
"I do not." You give him your best impression of someone completely disinterested, because you are.
"You're takin' the job," Simon tells you, he turns to go back to the kitchen grumbling under his breath about having money for food and raising the prices of his sandwich. God you hope not.
You get an email from a name you don't recognize inviting you to interview for a job you didn't apply for not even an hour later.
#simon ghost riley#mafia au#sandwich shop au#the au where Ghost forces us to live better#instead of the other way around#as is my usual fare

wonderful tiny interactions.
The guy at the post office couldn’t care less about proof of residence he was openly shouting ‘mam do you have anything to prove you live at this address’, before whispering ‘i don’t actually care’
and as i was scrolling trying to find an energy bill he just looked over my phone went: OKAY GREAT and handed me my package with a quiet don’t tell my boss
#😭😭😭😭#great bc i dont actually know my pg&e password 😭😭😭😭#once i was outside waiting for a bus that didnt come with another girl i never met#bc the bus has one destination only she ended up calling an uber and let me hop a ride#i actually felt like she was p cool for that and we had a nice convo#didnt get her number just her venmo to pay half the fare 😭😭#yesterday my bus driver yelled at me for not having enough funds on my card then went sorry and just let me on#he then proceeded to cuss out everyone on the streets tho he was an interesting driver#i classify that as a positive interaction bc normally the strangers who yell at me dont apologize#guy was mad at something but trying to do better and thats more than most ppl can say

I envy Vasco and Ludovica so much: having the class, the sass and the gay at the same time and no one suspects a thing.

List of people who did demonic cultivation in CQL:
Xue Chonghai. Went insane and created a dark superweapon and tried to destroy the world.
Wen Ruohan. Went insane and tried to take over the world.
Wei Wuxian. Tortured and killed tons of people in remarkably horrifying ways.
Xue Yang. Massacred an entire clan and spent many years doing horrible things relating to corpses and controlling partially dead bodies for fun.
Mo Xuanyu. Suddenly and "inexplicably" went insane during his study at Koi Tower under JGY, came back with some of Wei Wuxian's notes which were seized by the Jin after his death, then killed himself to summon what he thought was the evilest ghost in the world to murder his family.
Su She, I think. He actually had a super strong golden core (as evidenced by him using the extremely taxing teleportation talismans a lot) so it seems like it affected him a bit less than others.
I'm just saying... maybe Jiang Cheng was right to track down people who used demonic cultivation and stop them from doing that?
#the untamed#cql#cheng qing ling#wei wuxian#xue yang#wen ruohan#mo xuanyu#xue chonghai#su she#jiang cheng#mxtx#mo xiang tong xiu#pretty much everyone who used dc kind of went insane and did some heinous shit#there's no reason to suspect that some random people offscreen fared any better

This photoshoot is actually so funny to me cause why tf did they send Rivers into a boxing ring? Like, they could've sent Scott in, y'know, the one who actually looks like he could hold himself in a fight, or even Pat. But no they sent twinkie winkie in there and expect him to win? He's going to fucking DIE
#weezer#rivers cuomo#pat wilson#scott shriner#brian bell#weezer red album#band#photoshoot#Rev Talks Weezy#Rev's Rad Ramble#His opponent could just turn the ceiling fan to max power and Rivers would just fly away /j#Also I didn't mention Brian cause no way he could fare better than Rivers. In fact I think he'd do worse#Rivers could beat Brian's ass me thinks. Height be damned I think Rivers could beat Twink 2 in a fight#Anyway I'm thinking about this photoshoot cause I'm using it as reference for a drawing lol

If we were to seriously consider a Protag Swap AU, then most of the protags are fucked.
Let's consider P5 for this scenario, since its the most well-known story. The protags considered are Naoya, Tatsuya, Maya, Minato, Kotone, and Yu (and remember, the events of P5 also shape them as they go). Of course, all of them defended the woman and got sued.
I can see everyone but Maya becoming friends with Ryuji and Ann. Those two would get babysitter vibes from Maya instead of reliable older sister (sorry, queen, but maybe you shouldn't have unironically adviced them to Live, Laugh, Love. You're also not a student and have nothing to do with Shujin). We only have Naoya, Tatsuya, Minato, Kotone, and Yu left.
Out of all of them, only Minato, Kotone and Yu would give Akechi the time of day. The rest were either weirded out by his attitude, too annoyed by his plastic smile, or decided it wasn't worth it to get too close to someone investigating the Phantom Thieves (or all of them at the same time). Without the Akechi confidant, the others lost a lot of intel and clues the Phantom Thieves actually got to put the pieces of the mystery together and an ally for the Third Semester.
Kotone never began the Kawakami confidant due to not being invited to Operation Maidwatch. Shame, because she would have reacted a lot like Akira did in lots of main events. I also don't want to put her through the interrogation torture.
Now that I think about it, Yu would have been a smidge more reluctant about the regular Change of Hearts business that the Phantom Thieves undertook. If the circumstances and story aligns, he would go with it in the end, but the entire story and general vibes wouldn't have the same impact than when Akira did it. Minato's Joker is a bit more stoic and way less flashy and passionate about the Phantom Thieves' mission, seeing more like a necessary duty.
In the end, only Akira could do it.
#i got the cutest mental image ot little kotone happily chatting away with iwai#Yu “Accomplice Ending” Narukami strikes again#yu would have also fared well as a maya replacement#tatsuya would have been better suited for p3#maybe even p4 if he plays his cards right#maya and kotone can swap no biggie#naoya and kotone too#minato can be kazuya if he wants#akira would be a great tatsuya#yeah i know this is ironic#persona 1#persona 2#persona 3#persona 4#persona 5#naoya toudou#tatsuya suou#maya amano#minato arisato#makoto yuki#kotone shiomi#minako arisato#hamuko arisato#yu narukami#souji seta#akira kurusu#ren amamiya#welcome to chili's#katsuya would make a better yu than tatsuya if we deage him a bit#i have connected the dots

I know that there's no point in trusting your employer with much of anything, but the fact that my company put together a week-long summit for my team and our international counterparts---and then canceled it a week and a half before I left---does make me want to do some truly operatic violence.
#YOU BETTER REFUND ME EVERY SINGLE CENT OF THAT PLANE FARE#YOU [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED] SHITWEASELS#no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

saw the clip of landoscar touching hands and IMMEDIATELY hopped onto tumblr.com. i know the girls are losing their minds over this. thank you hilton 🙏🏼
#landoscar#i can’t figure out if this is scripted or not#bc some moments feel so THEM especially oscar’s natural reactions to lando#but also the end was DEFINITELY scripted#are they just better actors than i expected??#maybe c2 were just so bad in the shell ads that it lowered my expectations for everyone else#also#completely random but how do you think lando would’ve fared as a drama/theatre kid?#i can kinda see it in him#i feel like normal high schooler non-racing driver lando would’ve signed up for laughs and ended up becoming unexpectedly invested

Sometimes I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we are truly witnessing Tim in his full horny era. Like him having a thing for Lucy's thighs or hair is no longer just something you read in fanfictions... It's absolutely canon! We really got to see him having his brain broken numerous time. Like when Lucy unleashed the power of her imagination on him… And again when she went for the kill by kissing him in her apartment and in the plane… And again when he caught a mere glimpse of her bare back… He went from blurting "naked times" like a dork on their first date to having the presence of mind to wear a shirt with snap buttons for their first time… Because the man understood the assignment and came prepared! We went from innuendos like "you're gonna need that fuel for later" to them giving their doppelgängers a run for their money with shower sex or laundry room hookup (in the middle of an op, might I add)… The man who was so against PDAs - even when it might have been the end of the world - now can't keep his hands to himself and is just living out his (and Lucy's) fantasies… And we actually get to see it!
#Speaking of... I still can't believe that janky-ass bed has survived the whole time!!#Anyway... Is this the real life? Or is it just fantasy... Actually this is Tim's world and we're just living in it...#And it's not like Lucy is faring any better... And you know what : good for her! She deserves it.#The rookie#Chenford#Tim Bradford#Lucy Chen#Little notes on a piece of paper

Rewatching the Sign early eps without my straight people lens and it's so damn clear how Phaya is just so fucking horny for Tharn all the time. Not even a little bit like scowling? No. Horny. Fighting? Foreplay. He's just waiting for Tharn to give him one flash of a nod that it's reciprocated and that's it.
#the sign the series#text#phaya doesn't have a crush and he isn't yearning#he's full god i want him i want him under me just once i'm a good boy so let me have him#tharn isn't faring much better#i'd obsess over phaya's mouth too sweetie

when people realize t’kor’s hoh wasn’t bad for her, it was bad for her allies because they did not put in the same social work as she did
#bb26#even if she were to go up as replacement nom#which i am not convinced will happen#she will not go home#and she has people on the other side who trust her and still want to take her far#and like as much as she loves them kimo and rubina are pretty much dead weight#she will fare better with at least one gone#*IF* she manages to keep her emotions about it under wraps with the other side of the house

The Barbie Movie franchise is action series women-hating homosexuality but for wlw. sorry if Ken is here about 50% of our audience would ignore him and he doesn't sell hardly any dolls. so instead barbie is going to have a very intense gal pal situationship
#im still trying to figure out ffxlv's deal. 80% of world leaders are women. multiple people saving it are women. but look what they did to#my girl aIisae. would a loving creator put her in a white leather romper?? but then. arr aIphinaud did not fare better#i think they might just hate all genders. equal opportunity bigotry#sorry im enthralled by collateral homosexuality

hi my name's juno and i need voice actors for stuff lol
unsure how much attention itll get on here BUTTTTT i have a few rae-related projects in mind that would be Vastly improved by having voice actors (one of them actually cant come to pass at all without vas) so if you or someone you know is a voice actor or can do a decent impression of rae characters, please dm me with an example!
things to note: - i currently have 2 projects in mind, possibly more if the ones i already have planned go well. if you're a part of this you'll probably be working with me for a semi-extended period of time - these projects will probably be unpaid, sorry! - if you're interested, please make sure you have at least decent mic quality/no background noise in your recordings/etc. your example doesn't need to be as high quality as possible since it's mostly just to hear how your voice sounds, but i'd like the final recordings to be as clean-sounding as possible! - ideally, you'll be comfortable singing as your character(s), too (though finding others for singing/speaking is not entirely off the table) - this is not entirely exclusive to rae characters! i'll also need a few miscellaneous voices and a couple of other animatronic characters (mainly ptt chuck) so if you're interested in playing any of those roles feel free to dm me as well!
if you're not a voice actor/otherwise unable to help but are still interested in these projects it'd help me out a lot if you rb'd this to get the word out! thanks!
#juno.txt#title is only to get ppl's attention sorry lmao#one of these projects is extremely obvious if you follow me and the other is something basically no one knows about#i only got one interested person on twt so far so im hoping it fares better here otherwise this stuff will never see the light of day#not to be too dramatic or anything lmao#rockafire explosion#rock afire explosion#rae#showbiz pizza#chuck e cheese#chuck e cheeses#pizza time theatre#cec#ptt#animatronic#animatronics#and so on and so forth
