#farewell rocketship

[sparklestripper]

Recently discovered not only that I am far enough along in my mental health journey that I can enjoy songs that I used to listen to during mental breakdowns as a teenager, but also that those songs still fkn slap just as hard as I thought they did back then. The world is good.

Frank, what sort of career should I pursue?

Hmm, good question. There's a lot of stuff out there and it gets increasingly difficult to make a career out of any single thing, so you have to just pick a bunch of areas and "try it out" from there.

My advice from the perspective of someone who used to work at Google for ~15 months:

Try stuff at smaller tech companies

Start as a developer (or "fullstack") but also start with a job that doesn't require you to be the best developer on your team (e.g. "QA").

Build up your skills and connections over time by doing a lot of interesting stuff, including things like doing a cloud computing certification

Get to know the people you work with so that you can learn what they do well (or are good at) and which areas they think will be exciting in five years

Don't burn out

Work hard but also relax and enjoy your off-work life

This last point is perhaps the most important of all, so it's important to prioritize it above all the other priorities. You will probably only ever get one shot, and if you are unable to enjoy life outside of your job then that's going to affect your job performance. (This is not as big a problem if you enjoy your job, but if your job makes you unhappy then a job that makes you unhappy is not the right one for you)

I hope this is somewhat helpful -- I definitely don't have all the right answers and may be missing some things.

Good luck!

A little later the rocketship launches from the highest point of the ice planet.

The tunnel complex inside the mountain remains unexplored for now, as there are more pressing matters to see to.

The group returns to the Millenium Falcon.

In their backs the same bathhouse that has greeted them upon their arrival now bids them farewell. There hasn't been a chance to see it from inside, too urgent is the group's mission.

Despite Finn's claim that they have to live more to avoid making another grave mistakes like the one on the summit, there simply is no time.

Reaching Exegol before Kylo Ren and rendering whatever they will find there unusable by the Master of Ren has utmost priority.

Pokemon Episode 16

Yeah, these episodes are still fun. I still love them.

Why are Jessie and James being mentioned in the farewell? They're known to be part of Team Rocket and are, well, wanted criminals. Seems a bit backwards lmao.

Oh to be on a tropical beach vacation with my OTP… /s

Jessie… Did you miss the part about being UNDERWATER?

You know what? Jessie's hot. They didn't need to make her as hot as she is, but I'm glad they did.

MY ROCKETSHIPPING CRUMBS… Violently inhales them all. Even as a kid I loved this scene lmao. Maybe they should be in more near-death situations so they can kinda sorta admit their love.

Ash used his one good idea for the next 10 episodes I see.

So Misty isn't allowed to slap Ash on camera but Jessie is allowed to slap James? I see how it is.

James seems to like sleeping on top of Jessie and I think about that a lot.

"I'm James, your master! Obey me!" is an iconic line.

This was a good Team Rocket episode and in general, too. The scene in the engine room is peak Rocketshipping.

I know you definitely have the last one, I've seen it in your archive.

The lyrics overlap a bit. Enjoy <3

So I went on a bit of a music purchase spree from the things sitting in my wishlist for a while.

When I played it from my library on my laptop. The shuffle mode, out of 4,010 odd songs came out with this belter soon after:

One night in December

Completely lost in thought, I sat at the bar and watched the singing Meowth on stage. Just like every night. Ever since I got kicked out of the college for future nurses. The talented cat-Pokémon who would work for peanuts held up a mirror of grief, depression and despair to me. « I feel sorry for you, Jessie » he would say while he struck up the next blues song. I cheered him and took a generous sip of the beer in front of me. I tried to let the malty taste of beer melt on my tongue and recover from the strains of the last days. What more could I do with my life? I was a loser, a good-for-nothing, not even capable of learning simplest medical terms and techniques. Why did I even waste another thought on a life in uniform, surrounded by illness and suffering? Because I wanted to help. Because I wanted to prove to the world out there that I had what it takes to make something of myself! I’m not just a hopeless orphan! I’m strong, beautiful and deserve a chance ! I want to decide freely about my life, but fate treated me unkindly. Used by the state, screwed over by men, my life story. I took another big sip, trying to avoid the prying eyes of a young man sitting next to me. He looked quite passable with his lavender locks and the piercing emerald green eyes, but my past has taught me to be careful. He could be just another guy who gives me a hard time, even though he looked anything but dangerous. In fact, he looked as devastated as me. A shy smile flitted across his face.

« Hey, do you need that bottle cap ? » he asked, pointing at the metal seal on the bar counter. I cocked an eyebrow. That was by far the lamest pick-up line I’ve every heard. Nevertheless, he had earned my attention with this question. «Help yourself » I replied. His eyes flashed for a brief moment as he examined the bottle cap. « A really rare find, thank you » he grinned and stowed his precious treasure in his pocket. How pathetic! How miserable must a person be when he feels joy for a bottle cap ? This man became more and more interesting. Judging by his looks, women hat to lie at his feet. Yet here he sits, all alone, collecting garbage. «My name is James» he introduced himself. «Jessie» we shook hands. «Tell me, Jessie. What brings you to this dump so close to Christmas? Isn’t your family waiting for you? A loving family that appreciates you and cares for you ? Who gives you freedom to develop and takes your dreams seriously ? » I felt a deep sadness. What he told me only existed in fairy tales, a picture-book family is nothing more than a fraud. « Family’s overrated, James » I said, « besides, I really like that singing Meowth» we both laughed.

« Can I get you something to drink ? » James pulled out his wallet. A lot of green bills jumped out at me. ‘Great, a stuck-up aristocrat. A rich, spoiled mama’s boy. That’s all I needed’ I was about to get up and crawl into another corner of the bar, but he held me back. «Please, don’t go! It’s not what it looks like. I’m not a pompous schmuck! To be honest, I’m on the run from this, » he pointed at his money. « Who would voluntarily run away from so much money?» I sat back on my seat waiting for his answer. «Money isn’t everything, Jessie. Not if it means losing your dignity and your will to make free choices » he explained. Then suddenly I realized this man got into trouble and he was seriously trying to escape from it. «Money is all well and good, but if it determines your whole life, you learn to hate it». I couldn’t figure it out at the time.

For a few minutes we sat next to each other in silence while listening to the cat’s singing.£«Would you like to dance?» James reached for my hand an lead me to the dance floor. It was very busy in the bar, people were busting on the floor, so for better or worse we were forced to move closer. I inhaled his tart sent. Although we had known each other for a little over an hour, a certainty unknown to me emanated from him. He was the type of man you would share everything with and who you could trust. He was decent, he laid his hands very carefully on my hips, fearing that he might break me otherwise. «What do you do during the day, Jessie?» he asked. It was incredibly loud on the dance floor, I almost had to shout my answer. « I actually wanted to be a nurse. Unfortunately, that dream has been shattered» disappointed, I let my head down. James lifted my chin and smiled at me. «Don’t give up, Princess ! You’re going to be great, I’m sure of it » his words were so motivating, making the corners of my mouth twitch. It’s been a long time since anyone gave me hope. It was good to hear that encouragment from James. « As a girl, I always wanted to be famous, a real star » I whispered. James looked at me with the kindest eyes. « There she is!»

«What about you?» I wanted to know. He made me twirl around. I wrapped my arms around his neck. « No one has ever asked me that before. I want to be free and my biggest wish is to become a Pokéringer» I could see James was having a hard time answering that question. Could I dare? What did I have to lose? I had no family, no home, no job, no boyfriend. «Then let us explore freedom together! With your pocket money we can travel, discover the world, feast and fall in love», romantic nostalgia was flaring up inside of me. It was time for a fresh start, and with James, I would take it. It seemed to me that he was not completely averse to the idea, but then the slap in the face. «It’s not that simple, Jessie. My life is predetermined. I can’t make decisions of my own free will. Tomorrow I’m a prisoner again. I’ll be married by force, so my parents can maintain their image. Everything’s settled, everything’s in order. I’m so sorry » he sighed. How could I be so naive and dream of a happy life? Each time, I was denied it! «Then this is where we parted ways again, James. After all, you were honest with me from the beginning. Farewell!» I didn’t turn around anymore, grabbed my coat, pushed the door open and ran out onto the snowy streets. Thickly wrapped, I strolled through the deserted alleys, only hearing the snow trickling softly. «It always comes down to just me», I rebuked myself for being so naive that I really would have given James a chance. I couldn’t get him out of my mind. So courteous and polite, if a little pathetic and shy. Would it had been funny ? Would we have supported each other? Would he have accompanied me on the road to fame ? Would I have cheered him on when he played for victory high up in the skies ? Questions upon questions, the answers to which I would never know.

« Jessie ! » I could hear a faint voice in the distance, probably fate laughing at me. « Jessie ! » There it was again. It approached with heavy steps. I turned around facing James. He was completely out of breath, his cheeks turning red from the cold. «Jessie» he grabbed my hands. «Forget the money, forget the weight on my shoulders. Ever since I spotted you in that bar today, I can’t think about anything else. You’re so different from the women I know. You’re determined, beautiful and talented. I know you’ve got big plans and I want to be with you every step of the way. We can both buy ourselves free from the shackles of society. We can do our own thing, become an unbeatable team. Jessie», he pulled me closer, so close I could feel his breath on my face. « Let’s be free. Let’s dream again, » he proposed. At first I was speechless and completely taken by surprise. We did not know if it would go wrong, but it was worth a try. I nodded. James smiled as if the heaviest burden had fallen off him. He cupped my face and pressed his lips on mine. I had never experienced such an intense kiss. It wasn’t just a kiss, it was a promise. Only the night was our witness. Our lips parted and we looked at each other in silence for a long time. «Yous two can count me in» a familiar voice broke the silence. Meowth tugged at my sleeve. We bent down to him and held each other in our arms. Our little free family.

 THE END

[pilferingapples]

The other half of my Barricade Day playlist, Quel Horizon!  For after the Furniture Wall is up and Everything Starts Happening. Notes under the cut!

First Day Awake the Day- The Preparations Since You’ve Asked- Do You Remember Our Sweet Life

Stabat Mater- Death of the Porter/Execution of le Cabuc If It’s True- Love, Thine is the future

Revolution- The Flag, Death of Mabeuf Let My Last Words Not Be In Rhyme – First Breach, Death of Bahorel When I Go- Last Verses of Jean Prouvaire

What Can You Do In The Abyss But Talk?

Sleeping Dead- Enjolras advised two hours’ sleep Let Them Hear You- Vivent Les Peuples Lord, Blow The Moon Out- Day was beginning to dawn All The Life Around – “What is the cat?”    Sons– Combeferre spoke of the dead Better Weather-The insurgents were full of hope

The Final Battle

Bright Morning Stars-Enjolras’ Reconnaisance; We are abandoned Armstrong’s Army- “The republicans do not abandon the people” Mary – “Let him find her, and say to her: Here I am, Mother”

Show The Way -What Horizon The Mountain Army Dreamers- Death of the Artillery Sergeant

Small note 1) : The Mountain doesn’t have a specific single point it’s linking to; if anyone needs me to, I’ll talk about why, but otherwise just know I didn’t forget about it, That Space Intentionally Left Blank.

Small note 2)  If it seems like this set is missing some people/storylines, well, it is– otherwise it would have wound up fifty songs long (I tried that first).  So this one is for the people who gave their lives to the barricade for the cause, and for the barricade itself. The survivors and other participants will have their own songs.

The most important note! Massive thanks to artificialities and robertawickham for helping me find songs! I really couldn’t have done it without them at all.

Show me the good stuffYour Year in Review is here

A little farewell to 2021 Personalized Year in Review...my beloved Year In Review (10 Minute Version) (Your Version) It was all a Dream(smp) The Tumblr community’s core values? Cottagecore, farmcore, goblincore. Set your watch. Your 2022 Personalized Year in Review is only 364 days away! 2022 resolutions: 𝓰𝓪𝓼𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽, 𝓰𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓴𝓮𝓮𝓹, 𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵𝓫𝓸𝓼𝓼. 2021? Only two 2s. 2022? Three 2s. It’s finally coming together. What don’t you understand? A therapist: 2022 isn’t real, it can’t hurt you. December 31, 2021: 🌝 We can all agree that 2021 was very uneventful. Let’s hope 2022 brings a little excitement into our lives. Who is the dreamer? 2021. The year we all turned the international shipping global supply chain into a meme. Normal. It’s a hellsite, but it’s our hellsite. “Prev tags” vs. good old-fashioned copy-and-paste: who will win? While the internet’s billionaires took a rocketship to the metaverse, Tumblr took an elevator to Eeby Deeby. How long does it take to cook a potato in the microwave? Asking for a friend. We hope your 2021 Year in Review fills you with joy. You deserve it, Tumblr. Same time next year? not sure but all i get is platitudes!!!
