location: paradise point resort open starter: ( capping at 4 max )
The success of the Masquerade hosted by Paradise Point had displayed a soaring increase in numbers, just as intended. Yet, it also meant more work had been piling up onto his desk, and unfortunately as a result, lunch breaks had to be cut shorter than usual for the time being. Now back onto the resort campus heading in the direction of the offices, Levi realized his tracks were cut short, the path blocked as the ballroom was currently under a deep clean-out from the recent event. Of course. With a sigh, he took a seat in a lounge area, deciding to start going through work messages on his phone. Hearing footsteps nearing closer, he glanced upwards momentarily. āI wouldnāt go that way.ā Levi remarked, nodding towards the signs the clean up crews had put out. āItās blocked right now.ā

"Cuhut it out- you guys!" "Nu-uh, not until you're all perked up first! You don't want those gym challengers meetin' with an ol' mopey leader, do ya?" "Whitney's right, dear friend. No need to hide that beautiful smile of yours, alright?~"

Ok but imagine Bo Sinclair with a kid/s imagine him building a treehouse or something for his kid or kids, or him building a swingset in the yard for them, or hanging up a tire swing for them
#also I wonder if Ambrose had a park for kids when it was still a real town#imagine Bo taking his kids to the playground and it hasnāt been used in like a literal decade and hasnāt been upkept at all#like his kids try to go on the swingset and it breaks or is like way too loud and squeaky and rusty sounding#or trying to use the merry go round and itās so rusted or something is doesnāt move an inch#Bo is suddenly like fuck maybe I should have taken care of this stuff#Bo also seems like he would accidentally push his kids too hard on the swing tbh#anyway I like thinking about Dad Bo sometimes#house of wax#house of wax (2005)#bo sinclair

Okay but xie lian really do just being lying the whole series
#Tgcf#heaven official's blessing#Xie lian#When I first watched the series I was like wow! Himbo love that for him!#On rewatches it became more and more clear that he was just straight up lying! (And trying to have a soft meet cute) love that for him#Xie lian about anything ever: Oh! I just happened to be in the area I know nothing relevant ever#Cut to scenes where xie lian in fact did know everything relevant#I know he was actually scarp collecting/homeless/struggling but also#I fully believe he tripped his way into main character status everywhere he went#Every single town spent decades talking about that one guy who just showed up! Asked for scraps! Taught all the street kids martial arts#That lead directly to an uprising that he directly took part in and then how he picked the one moldy bun got sick and died forever#Like everyone that met him was just like ???? Yall will never believe this#His statue pops up in the capital and everyone who has ever met him ever just be like yah it makes more sense that he's a God#Jun wu frantically stopping all evidence that he has prayers and followers bc that RUINS his plans goddamn it xinela#Jun wu to Ling wen: Okay okay perfect everybody hates xie lian now with his distruction now tell him he has zero merits really rub it in#Ling wen: who has had to read sort and hide all the prayers he's been getting for 800 years .....yes sir

Me @ my brain: cmon man we gootta focus on this school shit and we gotta do all these things to ensure weāre good for the next quarter and we literally cannot be late or weāre so screwed and we reeeaally have to make an appointment like weāve had to for the past 3 months pleeeaasee
My brain: ok but like what if Tick Tock constantly feels the need to move around, whether itās moving his ears, tail, tapping his hoof, or even just talking to make sure that he still can?? Like bro was paralyzed and literally could not move AT ALL for at LEAST a year (at the very VERY least) like that mustāve done SOOOO MUCH DAMAGE OH MY GOD HE LITERALLY COULD NOOOT MOOVE BRO HE WAS 12
#doctor whooves and assistant#tick tock#I have a lot of things I have to get done but my mind will always return to Tick Tock#no matter how long I go without consuming dwna content it always comes back#I consider that a blessing<3#seriously tho I feel like him literally being paralyzed at age 12 is kinda brushed over sometimes#like yeah he brings it up because it still heavily affects him but like#that mustāve been terrifying#he was literally at the mercy of a town that wanted him fucking dead#at age 12#obviously he was taken care of because he definitely wouldnāt have made it without help but still#he was probably beyond terrified#like brroooo#sometimes I think about it and goooodddddd#I might try writing more fics just so I can have him process this shit cause thereās no way heās processed it all#I NEED derpy and doctor helping him get through this trauma that has been with him for likely a whole DECADE#idk how old that mf is but heās definitely early twenties so it probably has been a decadeš#I also think him constantly talking to himself good be him continuing an old habit of making sure he could talk#idk how to phrase it but Iām sure itās basically understandable#hopefullyš#sorry about this huge rant#havenāt ranted about Tick Tock in a looong time#need to do it every now and then#itās my enrichment<3#I just realized my tags are longer than my FUCKING POST LMAOOOOOO

#im so happy any official content of tabby is awesome shes my fave i looooove her so much SHES SO SILLY!!!#and boots was one of my starting residents on acnh so he holds a special place in my heart#in case anyone was wondering which im sure you were not. my other starting villager on acnh was rocket and shes soooo silly i love rocket#not enough people love her like shes so silly. u are all HATERS#anyway i love talking about my acnh villagers I WISH I HAD MY ACNL ONES WRITTEN DOWN. the only ones i remember are tabby and kyle#but my acnh ones atm (and when i say atm i mean they will be probably til the end of time)#are my guy sherb (found on one of the ticket islands)#stiches (who i also found on an island i think?)#chai (i have her amiibo card shes so cute.)#tammi (another island find)#stella (man i really did just take the first villagers i found on an island and kept them huh)#rocket and boots (starter villagers)#tabby (I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TRADE HER TO ME ON REDDIT I THINK? and then they were like oh if shes ur fave u can just have her +#like for free. AND THAT WAS SOOOO AWESOME)#bea (i think she was also a ticket island thingy find)#and finally... tom (ok he has a fun story.#i think it was margie who lived on my island at the time and listen she was SUCH a sweetheart i wanted to keep her forever#(she replaced drift who i found on an island and he was mean to me so i have beef with him. still. like four years later.)#but them tom showed up as a camper and i got this crazy hit of nostalgia and i remembered my guy tom was in my childhood city folk town#and i was like. I MISS MY BOY. COME BACK TO ME. so he moved in)#umm only other villager we had was chadder which i think my little brother picked when we shared the island#i think i remember him saying he got chadder because of dantdm...? i dont remember the details#but i got the sanrio amiibo cards which i need to stress i had wanted for YEARS. i was so fucking happy when they got a rerelease#to the point where like. i couldnt get them at first because they sold out super fast. so#i bought them from someone in twitter dms im so serious. and it fucking worked thats how i got them#anyway i wanted chai to move in because shes my fave of that set (i love cinnamoroll) but i needed someone to move out#which i always get so sad about :( but my brother offered to take chadder so i felt a little better abt it#and then i think we forgot to like. have him come get chadder in boxes. so chadder went off somewhere hope hes living a good life#thats it i think. i wish i kept a list of all my villagers ever but considering ive been playing for a decade or so now that would be. crazy#muffin mumbles

amity, during an astarion romance, is eventually going to reach a point where they're being more genuine (or, well, he's being more genuine; amity has been pretty genuine this whole time) and he makes a complimentary remark abt her offhandedly and she's like "haha yeah. you remember you don't have to do that anymore right"
"do... what?" he asks
"you know," she says, "pretend i'm..." she waves a hand in the air, vaguely gesturing to herself. "...nice to look at. you don't have to do that anymore. it's okay."
and no matter what he says, he's. not going to convince her otherwise. not tonight. not tomorrow. not for a long time.
the most she can concede the point is to say that it's kind of him to say so. but she still doesn't think it's true, even a bit
amity's childhood fucked up her self-image BAD. children can be cruel. the patriar are, as a rule, quite cruel and callous. and patriar children?? woof. awful. and she is the tiefling bastard child of a new money noble -- one who got that money through merchant work, how gauche. so she was subsequently on the receiving end of... a substantial amount of unkindness. general distrust, at best, from those who weren't outwardly cruel, but quite a bit of outright cruelty
sorcerers, of course, do not learn their spells the traditional way, but more through desire. and amity learned the disguise self spell early, born out of an intense and desperate desire to Be Literally Anyone Else.
she has learned at this point in time that she has qualities that others may appreciate -- which was a hard-fought battle in and of itself, and is still a relatively recent revelation for her. but those qualities are still tied to what she does. her capacity to be kind, her ability to be helpful.
but her appearance? hahahahaha fuck no
#amity has a little round scar on her left shoulder#from where she tussled with a kid who jammed a stick there hard enough for the resulting wound's scar to still be visible two decades later#why? something about being some uppity demonspawn#which she took offense to. because demins have nothing to do with her.#(her mother is a devil which is VERY DIFFERENT. none of these kids know anything about that. they just made guesses.)#she had one (1) friend her own age as a kid#and he had to be extra pushy to convince her that they really were friends and he wasn't teasing her#and then he fucking DIED#and her caravan route was the one that was SUPPOSED to fix it. those healers were SUPPOSED to find out what illness was plaguing the town#but they weren't fast enough to sort it out before people died. + even tho she was a kid at the time. she still felt like it was Her Fault#the parents were. not coping with their grief well. and amity came bounding up to them to ask where teo was so they could play#and they... displaced some of that grief onto her. lashed out.#which cemented her guilt and the feeling it was her fault#maybe she slowed the caravan down and he would've lived if they'd been faster... maybe she jinxed them and the illnesses are her fault...#maybe she is an ill omen. a burden.#amity tag#bg3 blogging

When i hate on chade its based and correct when others hate on chade they are cringe and have no reading comprehension skills
#he SUCKS but acting like hes the worst person in fitz's life is so stupid#like how can you not see that hes a victim of the system and he had even less support than fitz he never had other options!!!#AND he says that he himself didnt even know what he was training for#like the whole thing is that chade is both replicating what was done to him on fitz AND trying to do better by him#like after fitz mentions wanting to know the world and that he likes the town. chade shoots him down about leaving buckeep but starts#giving him excuses to go to town!!#which yeah low ass bar but he tries within the limits of his power#also everyone would do well to remember chade has been. living in the walls. for decades

#idk whether i find my dad's refusal to see me as a functioning adult to be mostly cute or mostly obnoxious#cos it's like...i moved out from my parents' place in mid-2014. i've been living an 11h(-ish) drive from their place since then#so i've been managing w/o their constant presence & direct input for over a decade. and i've done so reasonably well#like i've always paid my rent and bills on time and i've learned how to cook and clean and do basic home repairs and i've never--#--made any choices that put my own or other people's well being and/or safety at risk#in other words there's absolutely no reason why my parents (mostly my dad) should doubt my ability to deal with--#--normal everyday life-things and to figure out solutions when a problem arises#yet when the time came to change to winter tyres on the car my dad insisted on making the fucking 11h drive TO DO IT FOR ME#and for context: there's a mountain pass separating my home ''town'' aka where my parents live from where i live#and that mountain pass is snowy and miserable and lowkey dangerous to cross by car this time of year#and i was just like dude i can change my own fucking tyres and if i for some reason decide that i can't--#--then i'll just get the pros to do it? you don't have to drive all that way to do it for me like i'm still 18 and just got my license?#but no he made the drive and changed the tyres for me and would barely even LET ME HELP. like i just stood there and handed him--#--the tools like i was 8 years old again BUT at one point i was allowed to tighten the bolts on one of the wheels:)#except not really cos as soon as i was done he went over them to check that i'd done it properly#and don't get me wrong he's not an overbearing man at all. he's not a besserwisser. he tends to stay back and let me live my life#it's just when it comes to things that could in theory pose a threat to my safety or general well-being--#--that he decides that uhhh actually you're still 13 years old as far as i'm concerned and i need to do my fatherly duty here#makes me think of when i went home last year to spend a few days there and both my parents were like--#--wait wtf do you mean you know how to operate a washing machine#and i was kinda just like.....bro what#what exactly do you people think i've been doing with my laundry for the last almost-decade#and don't even get me started on when they realised i knew how to cook#again: my dad is not overbearing and neither is my mum. they're generally very laid back and always have been#and i love them and i'm so grateful for everything they have done and continue to do for me#but also holy shit i'm almost 30 years old and somehow they remain baffled that i'm not still the 19yo that moved out in 2014

holy hell, I do NOT feel good but I can't vent to my dude because he also doesn't feel great and I'm more interested in whatever is wrong with him than what's wrong with me. partially because I actually give a fuck about him, mostly because I ignore my own problems and whatever is wrong with him is a distraction, oops. the doctor's isn't open until Monday and I'm not hospital level bad probably (I'm not actively passing out or in too constant of pain, lol) so I guess I'll cope til then and then make the appointment.
#im just so fucking tired#ive been severely depressed for a decade and i didnt know that this type of tired existed#fuck me bro#and my chest is so bad and breathing is bad#not like pain but discomfort#but its constant discomfort that randomly tightens really bad#so thats not great#and just randomly being really out kf breath?? lame as fuck#ill just be sitting and suddenly i feel like i walked to the other side of town or smth#my lungs have never been great#but this is getting stupid fr#whores lovesick musings#kinda idk he was mentioned lol

I think it should be absolutely mandatory that people work at least a month in a blue collar job and take time to learn about their coworkers before making a statement about blue collar work. I simply think it would fix so many things.
#melon rambles#my father (who makes over 100k a year in his comfy computer job where he can work from home and honestly doesn't even do that much technica#stuff and works less than 40 hours a week) talked about the horrible overtime requirements of the factory I work at#as 'well that's what you get. You just take that job for a bit until a better job comes around'#and it's like. This IS the 'better job' for most people I work with!#Like we live in a small town with maybe 30 companies total that anyone could work at#one of my friends has lived in this town for over a decade and almost exhausted his job options here#because there's only one company in this area that could use his degree but they said he doesn't have enough experience so they refuse to#hire him. Meanwhile he's got a family and bills to pay so he picks up a customer service job and guess what? It sucks#He's worked like at least 10 jobs here and about half of them have had such deep issues (horrible labor law violations. Incompetent manager#who yell at people and cut hours willy billy. Safety issues. You name it)#and now he's trying to find a 'better job' but all of the jobs he can get are bad. And the only good job refuses him for a stupid reason#and that's how it is for a lot of people! Some of my coworkers are 60-70 year olds who can't retire#they've been working blue collar jobs their entire lives and this factory was the most bearable one with good enough pay#it drives me crazy that my father thinks anyone can just somehow work their way up to a job they enjoy#when a lot of people just never get that perfect opportunity#and it also infuriates me how companies can decide to just screw over workers with something like mandated 50+ hour work weeks#and some people can't leave because it's the only job they can get that pays enough to feed their kids#and tangentially related point: blue collar workers are the absolute backbone of society#where would we be without janitors? Construction workers? Factory people? Anything customer service? Maintenence or repair people?#they literally run everything but get treated like absolute crap by companies or looked down upon#it just aaaaaaghhhhhhhggggghhhhhhh#I wish we lived in a world where manual labor jobs were just another career path you could choose of many#and they were deemed respectable honored jobs by everyone#and they were given good pay and good management and working conditions#because honestly from the jobs I've worked. I've actually enjoyed the job itself to some degree#but there were just so many bad management things that made me just dread going in every day.

If you leave the town with no other option because the law wasnāt working there comes a point where people resort to extreme measures.
news reporting on murders is always like āthe victim was described by the people who knew them as polite and funnyā like yeah i fucking bet they did what else are they gonna say. breaking news local man stabbed 1000 times to death, grieving friends and family described the deceased to reporters as āa bit of a cuntā,Ā āmean and badā and ājust generally kind of annoying, you know?ā
#Dude hire a mob lawyer and terrorized a town for decades#Including a rash of child molestation#The wife? Heād had since she was 12#Like had been abusing & assulting her for 12 years#And straight abducted her from her family a decade prior#He burned down their house#shot their dog#And bragged about how his mob lawyer could get him out of murder charge#He did the arson+dog murder twice#They did the only thing that was left honestly

i do want to have a career that is related in some way to environmental/urban planning because that is something i do have a real interest and passion inā¦ howeverā¦ the rate at which things get accomplished in those fields is actually horrifying to me. everything iāve heard from people who work in those jobs is like
āwe have this great plan that would be really amazing for literally everyone. it needs to be reviewed by 6 separate boards who have a waiting list of 9 months, redesigned after each review, voted on by the council at least 5 times, and we wonāt get funds unless we POSSIBLY get a grant that is offered once every 5 years. and at any point the state could reject it entirely. we hope to start construction in 2040ā
#ISNT THAT HORRIBLEEEEE#when i went to a meeting about a new bike lane in this horrible stretch of traffic and the engineers were like#āyeah itās well known that this is THE most dangerous traffic corridor in town. lots of accidentsā¦#āweāre hoping to start construction in 2027ā#i was like FOR REAL??? i almost die on this road Every day. and youāre telling me 5 years.#anywaysā¦.#oh also a guy came to my class yesterday to talk about a solar panel project heās been planning for like a DECADE#and explained all the different commissions that would need to approve it and all the hoops to jump through and plans that have been denied#i was like holy fuck š#like for example. thereās literally one TINY area where it would be feasible because itās just barely (weāre talking INCHES)#out of the land area controlled by a separate org who would Never let solar panels be put in#shit like that. I mean oh my god
