no matter what happens. everyone promise me you'll always remember that unexplained canon divergence and intentional vagueness surrounding the timeline & trajectory of the canon plot is an honored tradition in death note fic. there is a fine art to being clear enough that your readers understand what's going on (to the degree they need to in order to enjoy the story) while being vague enough that you don't have to engage directly with details of canon that don't serve the story you want to tell. it's a matter of defining scope. i want us to keep dissecting canon forever & i want to understand the facts of the series but i also never want to lose the whimsy of just doing whatever the hell i please without justifying myself.

Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—

Today the comic store I work at sent out a very pointed reminder of the rules surrounding the store credit and employee discounts. I had about $350 of store credit there and wanted to pay for a $150 book that I asked them to order with store credit (even offering to pay double with store credit because, well.. I wasn’t using it on anything else except my $10 pull box every other week).

This reminder helpfully informed me that store credit was only to be used for any new comics (pull box stuff) or anything that’s been in the store longer than a month.

So instead I used my store credit to buy a $250 print that’s been in the store for three months, since, well… I wasn’t using it on anything else.

Shareen still gets her flowers for her birthday. Not every year, not anymore, but rarely does April 27th pass without something in the back of her head remembering the date as that of the day Rose was born.

chauncey voice. if starfleet wants to make laws about the use of telepathy they simply should not have let telepaths in the federation

I think people assume that Ingo is going to be the hardass of the twins. Newish Depot Agents are usually afraid of disappointing him and brand new ones will try to avoid fuck ups.

Likewise, it's assumed that Emmet is the laidback twin.

The truth is that Emmet cares WAY more about following the rules then Ingo does. Ingo doesn't mind breaking rules in order to do the right thing... Emmet tries to do the right thing within the rules and if that isn't possible, he will CHANGE the rules.

New Depot Agents usually learn this when they break a rule or make a major mistake for the first time. They usually sweat and panic a little bit as Ingo finds out... only for him to pat them on the head and offer to get coffee with them so they can work out how to best fix this situation. He's understanding and tries his best to be empathic of others.

Meanwhile, Emmet isn't MEAN but he is much stricter then Ingo is. Within reason, of course! The law should exist to protect, not to persecute. As such, the rules that he makes for Gear Station are rules for a reason... he doesn't get angry when Depot Agents make a mistake or break a rule but he IS stricter about it then Ingo and expects the Depot Agents under him to do their best to uphold and follow the rules he made. He expects that they fix their mistake and will hold them to that because he knows that he picks quality staff. Once they fix their mistake, he will praise them and let bygones be bygones.

A good way to explain it is that if there's a rule that Ingo doesn't agree with, he will do his best to circumvent that rule in a way that is best for everyone. Meanwhile, Emmet will do everything in his power to change that rule because believes that the rules should exist for everyones safety. There is nothing Emmet hates more than a corrupt law system. And if Emmet believes something should be in the rules and others won't listen to him? Then he will demonstrate WHY it should be a rule in the most malicious compliance way possible.

This is something the two of them sometimes butt heads over!

Regulations: A New Trucker's Guide to Staying Compliant and Safe

This is the third in our series of blog posts for new truckers. This information is very basic, but even if you have been a trucker for most of your life, this information is still valid. Today, let’s talk about something crucial: regulations. These are the rules of the road that go beyond just stopping at red lights and obeying speed limits. In the trucking world, there’s a whole layer of…

;;Clarification on verses and how I generally handle Post-TYBW:

In my opinion, Rukia being settled and having a family is nearly a prerequisite for Rukia assuming captaincy. That or some other significant event for her, which I don't know the shape of at the moment. In canon, it's only when her child is more grown that she actually takes the title(10 years after the end of the war), so she remains acting captain for a long time even if fully compliant. I would suggest by default that you assume she's lieutenant but fully assuming the responsibilities of an acting captain of the thirteenth if wanting to do something post TYBW. If you say post-TYBW I'm usually picturing this length of time.

OR if you want full captain Rukia, just remember that you are adding at least a 10 year gap for her to take up the rank... >3> I'm open to other ideas on discussion as well, just talk to me on them so we're on the same page.

Not noting this because I want to avoid the verse where she's captain. it's the opposite really. I think this point is very interesting, and want to get into the headspace of her here and what leads up to this more so. It's really more of an invite because I want to detail out before she makes captaincy and her headpiece and ten years is lot to fill in for my brain and I know there are significant things that happen before that point I want to fill in.

Some headcanons on her and captaincy:

She will actively respond to Captain Rukia, and or Kuchiki-taichou even while just acting captain, but make fun of you on getting your eyes checked or something.

With the passing of her captain, she's very reflective and actively refuses the title or pressure to take the rank. In her heart is some uncertainty in her life's direction, and some thoughts on making the most of life, where that takes her is open though. I don't think it specifically needs to take the shape of canon, but it is some kind of journey or change in focus for her. She's stops just looking at what's in front of her and maybe even looks back and beyond.

Her absolute first priority after thousand year blood war is looking after what remains of her squad. She knows she's now the highest officer that remains for them to look towards after they've lost someone who has been there so long and was important to so many. More than herself, she puts her squadmates first and will shut down and hide her own grieving or emotions to look after them and be the sign of strength that they can lean on.

She attends meetings in place of a captain for the thirteenth while acting captain.

Rukia still thinks she has a lot to learn, on leadership, and particularly on her bankai before taking on the full role of captain.

You could change my mind with a good thread on it or maybe have the right person talk to her, but this is my current mindset, until something makes me think different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just going to deliberately park in the "staff only" spots at our apartment now since they kicked us all out of our parking lot with 0 alternative, just a note saying there's "plenty of street parking available" (that wasn't even true before they added 30+ extra vehicles and a construction zone to the mix) and I'm tired of driving around the block every night looking for a spot that isn't a mile away from our building and getting notes on my car telling me I'm parking on private property because god-forbid I park in front of someone's lawn.

E: "Hey you." S: "Hey, so I was thinking about checking out that Casbah art museum. They have a new showing all about musicians. D'ya wanna come with?" E: "I'd love to, really, but there's this basic psychopath editor who wants me to cut down my article about the best place to get falafel down to three places. SanMy has at least twenty really good falafel places! I could see maybe cutting it down to 15, maybe even as low as 10, but three? How? What kind of monster thinks you can choose between three falafel places when there are at least 6 that are equally amazing when compared to one anoth-" S: "Huh, wow, okay, I'll leave you to it! I'll be back in like two hours?" E: "yeah, and maybe I'll have cut it down to 17 by then. What an absolute sadist, I swear..."
