Etiquette by Genea

Genea knows Etiquette!  She is a  wealth of information when it comes to knowing about etiquette. You know… things like: which fork to use, what to do with your napkin, when it’s appropriate to leave or bow out of a conversation, even what’s appropriate to wear for specific occasions!  …All of those things.  She has been an etiquette trainer for years; and has helped both young and old to…

How to Interrupt politely? If you are ever in a situation where you are in a group of people and you notice someone trying to get into the conversation, do your best to include them with your body language, eye contact, and a head nod. It is elegant and kind to be inclusive.

Saw a really messed up looking James Pillow Pet last night, and just had to draw the dang thing because it genuinely looked like a freaking train larvae...

Am I really dealing with severe burnout by getting a genuine interest in TTTE? Seems so. The choo choo trains don't cause me nearly as much stress as the Contemptuously Eating Itself Constantly Fandom.

Is it okay for people who have no disability, aren't elderlies or pregnant, to sit on the seats reserved for disabled, elderlies or pregnant passengers on a bus/train. etc?

Answer choices below:

It's fine if they're tired and really have to sit down and there's no other seats or any disabled people or people who are in need on the vehicle, but they should still get up and give up the seat once/if disabled people or people who are in need get on the bus/train

It's fine if they're tired and really have to sit down and there's no other seats or any disabled people on the vehicle, they should not be asked to get up and give up their seat once/if disabled people or people who are in need get on the bus/train either.

It's fine for anybody to sit there even if they're not tired, if there's no other seats or any disabled people on the vehicle, but they should get up and give up their seat once/if disable people or people who are in need get on the bus/train

It's ALWAYS fine for anybody to sit there even if there're other seats available, as long as there's no disabled people or people who are in need on the vehicle. They should get up and give up the seat once/if disabled people or people who are in need get on the bus/train

It's ALWAYS fine for anybody to sit there. No matter what. They should not give up the seat once/if disabled people or people who are in need get on the bus/train either

thinking about the narrative of clones “being made for the jedi” and there has to be a nonzero number of them that take the idea of ‘okay fine who is the diametric opposite of the jedi because stuff that’ and that’s how the lost battalion become the most fervent sith-sniffer-outerers in the galaxy. just turn up at dooku’s doorstep like, hi hello we’re your army let’s smush those jedi xoxo

and otoh this is playing into his master’s plan! wonderful discord!

otoh now he has two thousand badly socialised ten year olds tromping around his house and gardens what are you— would you put that DOWN�� that’s not the right fork would you— okay everybody new plan, it’s time for the fine sith art of sitting very quietly while daddy deals with his headache okay

Please don't pet service dogs without the express invitation of their handler.

However, they absolutely should WANT to be patted.

Teaching dogs to ignore cute people is one of the most challenging parts of public etiquette because it has to be.

An aloof dog who doesn't like being manhandled by strangers would be easier to train. But the fact is that no matter what, people WILL TOUCH SERVICE DOGS.

Some have cognitive disabilities and don't understand why they shouldn't touch your dog. Some are old and half-blind and don't see the vest and don't wonder why a dog is in a restaurant.

Some people are just contrarian I-do-what-I-want assholes who say "I know I shouldn't pat you but you are just sooooooo sweet!"

So no matter what, people are going to manhandle your dog.

So service dogs must enjoy - actively ENJOY - being touched by strangers.

The aloof types can learn to tolerate it, but it will stress them out. The stress will at the very least shorten their working life and at worst result in them losing their temper after many years of it.

So they should love it. They should revel in it.

Then we have to teach them not to seek it uninvited.

It's almost as hard as training the public not to touch them!

Hearing people chew loudly with their big fucking open mouths or smacking their fucking gum is one of the worst fucking sounds ever. My phone is about to die and because stupid iPhones use only port for either charging or headphones (I HATE USING BLUETOOTH), I HAVE to listen to these fucking self centered cunts smacking their gum on the train while I try to charge my phone. I swear to fucking god one day I won’t be able to hold it in and I will unleash all this pent up anger because I try and try and try and try to be polite. Fuck politeness. WHAT ABOUT YOU BEING POLITE AND CLOSE YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH?!?!

Ingo: yeah i think falling through the rift broke my body as well as my mind, i find the oddest of sensations unbareable, certain fabrics for example make my skin crawl.

Emmet: Nope! you had sensory issues before. its the autism.

Ingo:... What is autism?

Emmet: hm.

Okay yeah i was wondering where I got "LMY and LQG have no family but each other" and the novel does say that Liu Qingge is Liu Mingyan's only family! Gotta keep going through it because I'm sure it said somewhere that LQG is also a (spoiled?) young master* and, if true, then they probably came from like.. a big family or clan? So some tragedy must have befell the whole clan as opposed to their parents just like. Dying of old age or natural causes or something.....

*so far, in my reread/relisten, sqq only says he has the face of a young master who should be arranging willow branches and flowers, which is Not actually being a young master... I seem to recall the succubus extra has madam meiyin saying that sqq's soulmate is from noble birth, and since lqg thinks that means him he must be from noble birth I suppose... (but that is also ambiguous, he doesn't confirm anything of course)

(Though that is such a weird interpretation... I know the heavenly demons are heavenly and all but their right to rule isn't divine, they have to fight for it right? But then again there is something about demon lines being strict during the Sha Hualing intro so I guess demon bloodlines do count lbh as noble from birth. Wild.)

Wip is slowly growing, it might have (2) scenes!! 😂 It's the horny continuation of this fic, and basically the first time Mishanks sleep together, with a general undercurrent of learning from each other and how precious it is to trust someone enough to say: guide me through this

Shanks moves his head a bit, curious as to what prevents Mihawk from fully relaxing on top of him. Taking a wild guess at the swordsman’s downturned face, he'd say it's still his fascination about his chest, fingers ghosting near a streak of cum cooling on his abdomen. 

He definitely makes a mental note to lose the shirt the next time they duel. 

Mihawk grumbles a bit when he hugs him and pulls him closer, turning to look at him all sour. 

“You're sticky”, he mumbles. His hair is tousled, perfectly coiffed curls sticking now in disarray. 

Shanks fails to bite back a smile. He raises an eyebrow. 

“Oh, sorry, did you want to move?”. 

Golden eyes narrow, studying him. After a long moment Mihawk gives out the barest little sigh, accommodating himself on Shanks’ chest. He almost gets to count to ten before the other grabs his hand and positions it between his shoulder blades, face firmly turned away. 

Shanks snorts, starting to caress the back of Mihawk's neck, his chest doing something funny when the swordsman melts at the touch of his hand in his hair. He thinks about the knives again, and about Mihawk's distrustful look in the face of praise. 

“I knew you'd be a natural”, he mentions lightly, cutting himself from saying even stupider shit, like I love you, or something. 

He cranes his face a bit, surprised when such a declaration is met with silence instead of a dismissive scoff, and at the slight jostle Mihawk turns his face a bit further away. It occurs to him in a fit of clarity and glee that the swordsman is bashful, of all things.
