#fair treatment

[jesusismyredeemer]

We long for fair treatment from others, but do we give it? We hate those who base their judgments on appearance, false evidence, or hearsay, but are we quick to judge others using those same standards? Only Jesus Christ can be the perfectly fair judge who always rules with righteousness and justice. Only as he governs our hearts can we learn to be as fair in our treatment of others as we expect others to be toward us.

Canada Postal Workers Strike: This Will Close my shop entirely for now

okay so 95% of all prints and art that I mail to the states use stamp mail and lettermail.

Which means that a postal strike, the one that begins today, is going to essentially kill my ENTIRE business until it's over. I'm going to package what prints I can, see if I can route purolator solutions for the people who've already paid, and the whole shop is going to go on vacation mode so no one accidentally buys things I can't ship

Commission setup is probably going to keep on keeping on using alternate shipping methods, but please do NOT buy anything right now since I have little to no way to ship it at the moment

If you have recently purchased anything within the last week or so, I'm sorry to say you'll need to expect delays with whatever you've gotten

I... I don't really know what I'll be doing for income in the upcoming weeks. Relying on savings I guess. Depending on how long the strike takes I might promote the patreon a bit more but I don't really know now

Maximizing Employee Engagement: The Power of the Gallup 12 Hierarchy

The Gallup 12 Engagement Hierarchy is a framework created by the Gallup Organization to help organizations understand and improve employee engagement. According to Gallup, employee engagement is defined as “the extent to which employees feel passionate about their jobs, are committed to the organization, and are willing to put in discretionary effort to help the organization achieve its goals.”…

speaking of how respect plays into tyler & kate's dynamic. i feel like what makes tyler such a good romantic lead is that, even when he's talking down to kate in the beginning, you never get the impression it's because she's a woman.

contrast tyler with scott. scott is constantly condescending to kate: second-guessing her every decision despite being miles behind her in field knowledge; undermining her professionally (negating her attempt to network with an investor); calling her javi's "girlfriend" as if javi's deference to kate is a lapse in judgment. he's not cartoonish about it, but his contempt for the situation is pretty obvious. he resents being made subordinate to a woman with no legitimate way to question it.

then you have tyler. we expect him to be a classic case of cowboy machismo, misogyny and all -- and it's true that he doesn't fully respect kate in the beginning, but it's because she's riding with stormpar. and even then, it's clear how badly he wants to respect her: initiating conversations with subtle cues to reveal her priorities ("our crew's not like your crew"); talking shop with her; straight-up asking if she knows how stormpar makes their money, and then still checking on her when they part ways in anger. he's not threatened by a female stormchaser -- he sees a kindred spirit in her, and his feelings move from fascination to real attraction when he sees they have their principles in common, too. it's insanely refreshing to see.

rhaenyra telling alicent that "history will remember you as a villain; a cold queen grasping for power and then defeated" while we know full well what history did to rhaenyra's memory gave me emotional damage

Dragon Age!Dungeon Meshi au where Marcille is just a straight up blood mage

[zorosroronoas]

i can understand the criticism that the sapphic couple died, but at the same time i don't feel like this is a case of 'burying your gays', i'm sorry. they are far from the only characters to die - i mean it's literally a show about life & death - & their deaths actually lead to an happy ending, which decidedly did NOT happen with hyunmin & jiyoung. like do you really feel like their ending was preferable? if they weren't queer, then sunhae & hyewon's ending would just be considered romantic, if a bit tragic.

if you want to talk about how tragic it is that they only got to live an happy & free life in the afterlife & what that tells us about the way queer relationships are seen in south korea (both in the context of the story & the writing), then i'm more than willing to listen, but ultimately sunhae stayed to be with the person she loved & she got to live an happy life with her. i've literally seen ppl wish the same would happen with hyunmin & jiyoung before the last 2 eps even came out, bc they considered it a good ending.

ill make a whole piece on its own for the occasion but finally got 100% abno codex (finally got that one fuckass tool that has been evading me after 8 hrs of straight mem rep of the same 3 days). Library of Ruina time !!! ive been yelling about it to poor unfortunate souls who dont know abt pm at all . ill probably be busy playing it on my free time so not as much activity for a bit i think

[o-vera-nalyzing]

look i totally get it’s all love now but genuinely every kipperlilly sympathizer that only talks about how it’s so valid she hates the bad kids and how she’s a side character getting fucked by the main characters simply just feels like they themselves have hella side character syndrome and are relating to kipperlilly a bit too hard and might need to consider that they’re only a side character if they convince themselves they are

(my tags explain it a bit better but i was too lazy to copy them up here)

Respecting Usopp’s Flaws

A Rant About Fandom and Agenda Piece in One Piece Fanfiction

Disclaimer: This is just my personal opinion about how Usopp is often written in fanfiction. Everyone is free to write what they want, and this isn’t meant to police anyone’s creativity. That said, I wanted to vent some frustrations I’ve had with how certain aspects of Usopp's character are handled. If you’re a fan of Usopp and care about balanced portrayals, this might resonate with you.

A recurring issue I have with Usopp in One Piece fanfiction is how his lying is often portrayed as a negative trait that needs to be "fixed," while the other Straw Hats are rarely called out or "fixed" themselves. I love Usopp angst and enjoy Usopp-centric fics, but I struggle with Water 7 introspectives that depict him as being entirely alone, tearing himself down as if he's the only one with flaws, while the rest of the crew is portrayed as perfectly fine (when they are just as flawed). I also can’t stand fics where the author “calls him out” in hurt-no-comfort scenarios.

Everyone is free to write what they want, but I can’t get into Usopp angst unless he’s treated with dignity, validated, and there’s genuine hope by the end. Especially when Water 7 is brought up, there’s certain wording that needs to be handled carefully. Terms like “wrong,” “weak,” “sorry,” “jealous,” and “deserved it” shouldn’t be overemphasized or even included unless the point is to show how warped Usopp’s self-perception is. His lying doesn’t need to be changed unless the rest of the crew is held to the same standard. He’s a liar—so what? Luffy brought him aboard fully aware of this, and Usopp’s never hidden it; he’s even been upfront about it with Luffy, Nami, and Zoro, openly calling himself a liar.

What really bothers me in fanfiction is when authors claim to be fans of Usopp but then put him through unnecessary hardships or make him apologize for things he doesn’t need to. It often feels like they’re trying to paint him as the only flawed member of the crew, while the other Straw Hats' problematic behavior goes unchecked. This “Agenda Piece” approach frustrates me, because it’s far easier to accept Usopp for who he is than to try and change him just because he isn’t as “perfect” as the others.

If you’re going to write Usopp, please be clear about whose side you’re on. That doesn’t mean antagonizing the other characters, but if you're going to explore these dynamics, do it in a way that’s balanced and respectful. I had to get this off my chest after coming across some problematic Usopp fanfics recently—it’s motivated me to update my own stories.
