Why did they create such a useless character to show Cinder's backstory when Salem is literally right there AND the real question the audience wants answered???
Imagine if it had been Salem who stayed at the hotel and saw something of herself in the scrappy servant girl. She saw how the Madame treated little Cinder and offered a way out only if Cinder has the power to be useful to her. Maybe she put Cinder to a test of how far she was willing to go for freedom, or maybe Salem wanted something from the Madame that she wouldn't give so it was up to Cinder to provide
Either way, Salem gets a young disciple that's ruthlessly ambitious and easy to manipulate and Cinder gains the illusion of freedom under a new master
#rwde#ofc salem wouldnt be grimmified in this version bc she'd stand out too much to do under the table shit#or she still could be but the world actually looks like an anime like it did in the beacon days#v4 on is far too grounded in reality design-wise#where the hell are the folks w wild ass hair colors and styles?? the most we get is joannas green but she says like 10 words so who cares#tis some bullshit and why i refuse to call v4+ rwby an anime#anyway this was somehow prompted by me comparing vergil to cinderella#as you can see i am Completely Normal tm#ngl tho vergil is a better cinderella if instead of riches-rags-riches its power-powerless-power#cinder starts at the bottom so her baseline mentality is way off if you want to do a cinderella remake#rags to riches is abt underdogs clawing up the social ladder against all odds#but riches rags riches is abt reclaiming what was yours#if we use cinders random disdain towards schnees in v8 as inspiration we could have a story of rival businesses#cinders father gets booted from power/high society thanks to Jacques's maybe legal maybe not methods and meddling#could go several ways from there:#her father could die and she'd be left homeless and alone in the cruel underbelly of the wealthy and powerful#she could find work w the Madame and try to endure the abuse so she and her father can pay the bills#her father could straight up sell her to the madame#itd be a horrific way to learn the significance of power and how easily it can be taken#i wanna like cinder so bad but v5 on fucked her irreparably. she doesnt even dress well anymore ffs

it's a "letting my boss talk their head off and trying to gaslight me into staying at this job while I write an email applying for a better paying one" type of vibe today
#I'm immune to their tactics#I send it after the call was done too#not staying at a job that stresses me out and pays little lmao#and besides I have trusted sources who told me how to make the most out the job I applied for#I have a road map bitches#my masterplan is finally being set into motion#I shall get better pay and more benefits befitting of myself#and later climb up that damn ladder and get payed better#“you will come back!” they cry as I write my application#remember kids don't stay at a job that would ask you to come to work when you are sick and or on vacation#and which also pays badly#“I was juuust thinking of giving you a raise” a yes sure you did but the next job is almost paying double#godoframbles#jobs#work#workplace

how much money has the 118 cost the lafd from replacing ladder trucks?
#911 spoilers#spoilers in tags#the one that got blown up and landed on buck#the ladder that snapped before oceans 911#the power pole in jinx probably did some damage#the door got ripped off the one in 4x14#did the one that was stolen get scratched up?#the one they intentionally got the kid to crash into#(not the 118 but lena's crew's got flooded in the tsunami)#the ambo that crashes into the girl#how did i forget the one that gets blown up in 2x01?#does the truck do over the cliff in 5x18? if so that defs a write-off#i probably forgot one but from what I googled one new ladder truck costs about 1million USD ($1 431 936 AUD)#and an ambo is between $120 000 and $325 000 USD ($171 870 to $465 481.25 AUD)#so thats.. *does maths poorly realises my calculator is dead and then gives up cause i hate maths*..... a lot#dont come for me if those figures are wrong i spent almost no time looking it up#911 show#911 fox#wee woo show

guys I just survived a ladder that wanted to kill me. cheers
#context- I work odd jobs in film production a lot. I recently picked up a new part timer filming high school football games#this particular one was an hour and a half away so needless to say I was already mentally preparing for a LOT#and I got there and the spot where they wanted me was on the ROOF of the press box. which I knew beforehand#what I did NOT know beforehand was that the only way up or down was a ladder that pops down from said roof#which would’ve been okay but I was carrying three equipment bags like a pack mule#so I climb the ladder and even that was fine until the top step#I faceplant straight onto the roof because there is a barrier that’s like a foot long between the ladder step and the roof floor#so. rough start. but the view is great and once I’m up there it’s kinda fun#until. UNTIL. I wanted to go pee because again. hour and a half drive to get there.#said barrier made it so you have to climb down to get to the ladder step and railing and I pissed around playing chicken with that thing for#for an HOUR playing chicken because I could not fucking handle it#so I get through the first half okay but decide that I’m booking it to the bathroom the second halftime starts#and I forced my fat arse over the ledge and I figured out a grip on the trapdoor thing that helped keep me from falling#and I felt like I’d just made a person break cause like. I genuinely was not sure how the fuck I’d make it down for a bit#after that? might’ve been the high of Doing The Scary Thing but the rest of the time I had fun#I got a nice coach in the press box to help grab my bags as I handed them to him so I could climb down to leave#drove an hour in pitch darkness on country roads to my boss’s house to drop off the footage then 20 minutes home and now#and now I think I could sleep forever and ever but I fuckin did the thing

The fact you can get 3rd in f3 and be the 2nd highest place rookie, and still get dropped by your driver academy is a pretty fucking awful look for driver academies
#f3#formula 3#like sure only 1 win#shouldve been 2 but prema fucked up#like theres dropping people who havent done as well as you hoped#but how much more do you want from him#a 7 point gap to someone in there 2nd year that wouldnt have existed bar for the prema strategy fuck up is pretty good in my book#all because they have some weird thing about only having 1 driver in each series along the ladder and decided to let one guy skip a series#yes this is about paul/merc#yes im sad for him#he did so well and this is what he gets for it???#i hate them#f2#formula 2#paul aron

pov txt's album was so good you almost majorly injured yourself listening to it
#background.#cleaning up bc yesterday was easter and we had ppl come over and there are a lot of dishes that I have to clean#I was emptying out the dishwasher to make space#I needed to put a wine glass back in it's spot but said spot is in a high place that's taller than I can reach#so I needed to grab the step ladder#I was listening to the new album and having a great time#so good in fact that I didn't notice that he step ladder was damaged (which it wasn't the day before)#and so I open it up and it's like shaky and fighting me#which should have been my FIRST CLUE bc it doesn't rlly take a lot of effort to open#and it's open and I'm like okay then and I get to the top step (which is the one that's broken)#and I have the wine glass in my hand and I'm reaching up when I feel the step under me start to bend and buckle under my weight#because it was BROKEN.#I realize that is not how step ladders work and very carefully put the glass down on the counter first bc I didn't to break if I fell#and then I placed my hands on the counter and leaned forward so I was holding most of my weight on my arms#and then very carefully stepped down until I reached the floor#my heart was pounding bc I knew anything could have happened had I not noticed in time#and when I checked one of the screws holding the ladder in place had been unscrewed and at first glance#it seemed totally normal but only after inspecting it did I notice the loose screw#my dad said he'd check it out but ugh I still have so much stuff to clean up

...forgot to bring my headphones to work
Including my backup over-ear headphones, my backup earphones, the extra pair I kept from the airport, the extra pair that's half broken that I always keep around just case I don't have any of my other headphones...
Just
Nothing
Cool, just have to sit here for ten hours, listening to the loudest goddamn fans on the planet that are attempting to keep the entire building cool because the air conditioning has been broken for nearly a month and no progress has been made simply because no one wants to pay for it despite the fact that this fucking facility HOUSES HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THEY DESERVE TO NOT DIE IN 100° HEAT AND I'VE SENT SO MANY FUCKING EMAILS AND LETTERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO AT LEAST GET AN UPDATE CONSIDERING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS TO NOT ONLY LIVE HERE BUT WORK HERE WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS
...anyway, pissed about the headphones. Don't know how I managed to forget All of my backups, too, like geez
#ugh#im one of those people who will keep going up the ladder until i have to fucking cc a ceo in an email if i have to for shit to get resolved#ughhhhhh#its so damn loud in here though im already losing my mind how did i fucking forget headphones aughhhh#orbs thought bubbles

I should be able to do so many things better than i do#but why like i did everything right. i followed all the steps?? why am i still here. literally at the bottom step of the ladder#in so many of the things i care about#“you can't do well in everything” why tho. i literally always did everyhing i was supposed to#just. whatever i guess.#on an unrelated note if i don't get into theater this year im gonna kill myself#but whatever#sorry for the rant :/

I’m developing a new chart system
#movie chart#chart meme#jock nerd/prep goth test#comedy movies#action movies#so we got into a debate because i said i wanted to watch the barbie movie#and my boy got all ehhhhhh about watching it with me because its Girl Power and girls have cooties or whatever#so i tried to explain the magnificence of birds of prey and he tried saying how unrealistic it is#and then tried to say how great batman the edgelord is so this chart came to fruition#you have your hyper serious dark tone movies like john wick and sin city#but whereas john wick is really dedicated to realism sin city is well... sin city#and then we have the action comedies like birds of prey and red and the a team#where red had mostly realistic fight scenes. and birds of prey...... did not#please dont judge me too hard on these i havent seen morbius or rush hour or the a team#i originally had rush hour higher on the realism side but then i watched a few clips and um no no sir not realistic#my boy was the one who called it realistic with his defense being that there was no cgi. he missed the mark#the fact that jackie chan had to do the ladder scene like 50 times to get it right proves its not very realistic or feasible#in making this we also came to the conclusion that the more melee is involved the less realistic movies tend to become#anyone can shoot a gun but watching a man punch someone is only entertaining for so long before you have to spice it up with the impossible#red 2 is not on here but the convenience store fight scene lives rent free in my brain#batman is also not on here because ive only seen one movie and did not trust my boy enough to let him rate the rest#i asked him for a serious overpowered movie and his first choice was antman. he cant be trusted with this task#realistic comedy was the hardest one to do because low and behold the sillier the movie usually the sillier the action#its occurring to me that the opposite of realistic is unrealistic but here we are with me unwilling to fix it now#realistic overpowered/serious comedy test#realistic unrealistic/serious comedy test#if i just turned the a team onto its side this would be lost.jpeg i have missed a great opportunity here#neo rambles#neo just wants to watch the barbie movie in peace why do boys have to hate girl power movies#i blame marvel for this

favourite underrated trick i like to play on my coworkers is to use my small size and medium flexibility to get places that they couldnt possibly go, (up on things, or perched in improbable places) before talking to them so they end up looking at me. then acting like this is totally normal. today i wedged myself halfway up a wall between 2 studs to tie in an octagon bc i was too lazy to get a ladder. rewarded with "do you want this ladde-what the fuck are you even sitting on"
#other classics include#where the fuck even are you#how did you get up there#why are you up there#and my favourite: im not moving the ladder over for you i want to see you get back down that way (ye of little faith)#workposting

normal things i look up when playing stardew: gifts, where to find specific fish, cutscene options, how to unlock certain crafting recipes/items
what im reading now: The Mines
#ik looking up the game mechanics can ruin games for some ppl but not meeee i fuckin love seeing how these things tick#specificallt i was trying to find out how the like. fog that drowns you in lots of bugs works / is triggered bc im doing the willy bug guts#quest and figure thatll be a quick way to get a bunch#but now im just sitting here learning about. drop percentages#which‚ sidenote: i did already know that the ladders under rocks were percentage based drops rather than like. an actual thing#you have to Find? so it doesnt matter which rocks specifically you hit#but i didnt realize how many different layers there are going on with it#origibberish#stardewposting

i remember maybe what inspired me for stories is like. playstation all stars has a little origins section for each character which explains their backstory. Hey i just found out plastation all stars came out when i was 6 WELL anyway that was one of the first things that inspired me to flesh out things i guess. i love knowing why people are here and doing these things. i feel like i wrote some stuff in like a notebook somewhere about chug + lollipop (but maybe that was later?) i dont know where or if it survived. maybe it was about hat instead i also really liked smash bros + ratchet and clank + pokemon. and some other things i dont remember
#memory posts#i dont know if i actually played it when i was 6 i just know that the music from that game is still played by my brother when i sleep#(music as in the intro music where its like Woahhhh. Brace yourselves..)#before youtube put looping on phone i made playlists for the songs i wanted to listen to when i slept (ihome)#well. at FIRST i would just wake up and put it back on again but if i listened to them enough i would make a playlist#one time a 50 minute ad starting playing and i thought it would end so i didnt get up until Quite a time#the playlist naems were named 5 stars after fnauhg. and they consisted of like multiple different lyric videos of the songs#with varying qualities and dead air. I ALSO eventually got a loft so putting the music on consisted of getting down the ladder quickly#+ quietly putting the music again then getting back up the ladder quickly + quietly#there was a drawing of cyndaquil (or typshlosion?) on my wall i taped on with like a health bar under it that was kind of not full#all the way. and a drawing of sonic my brother made me but i scratched out the to and from so it had my name on it (and looked like i did i#my room wasnt ever really clean. at least not because of me. i always got the lowest grade in organization in elemntary school#(they graded what the inside of your desk looked like. mine had so much THINGS in it)#my bureau had stickers from every school i went to so i could remember them (It broke when we moved..)#the wood planks were all fucked up cuz i paced and jumped and ran to music and thinking#there were a couple of . nail indents on the floor#in the ladder of the loft i scratched in THE BIG BAD WOLF DIDNT DESERVE IT (or similar) because there was a play where he was on trial#and determined by how much screaming there was WE COULDVE MADE HIM INNOCENT but everyone else didnt like him i guess#my elemntary school had lines on the floor so i looked at them when i walked and for a time i looked at my feet whenever i walked#we got bella in 2012 and shes a cute awesome animal chihuahua.#these are things about me i guess this is the post. HI :3

annoyed I’m not getting as many hours as I’d like at work bc when I started they were giving me mad overtime 😔 ik it’s probably the holidays but at this rate it’s gonna take me (materialistic) forever to get the things I want and actually need ☹️ tentatively once again considering if I’d have enough self discipline to do something like a patreon before remembering I hate putting stuff behind paywalls 😭
#cars r expensive did u guys know that. 😔😢#also I’m paying off a massive vet bill bc my poor doggy had a big seizure a few days before Xmas and he has an expensive follow up coming#in like 1-2 weeks where he will prob need to get his teeth pulled and another shot for his arthritis and it’s like#sad. idk. I want him to be healthy. the vet said he is for his age and his blood work looked great but we still don’t know why the seizure#happened in the first place and I worry a lot 😭 das my baby boy#see I want to be responsible and have money put back for things like this or if my laptop randomly breaks or if /I/ need to go to the dr!!#but I am so bad with money and self control 😭 it is legit a problem I need to work on this year#sanchoyorambles#maybe I should listen to . I don’t know. a money podcast#ok even typing that I had a full body shrudder#I did try to once and it was so xoxo girlboss move up the ladder here’s how to ask for a raise 😘 and that is so far from the type of job#that I have or could do LMAO where’s da podcasts for ppl who are poor and lazy and can’t do math huh. I need that one.#need someone to follow me around with a water bottle and anytime I’m like hehehoho maybe I will treat myself to a cute outfit I saw on line#they spray me down#I saw a cute outfit and is expensive :(

🌈 Zephyr's Forest Floor - Untouched Grotto 💣
...Well, "untouched" except for that dragon looking pretty happy with himself up there. And a pair of cowleks who wandered in here, somehow. But other than that, this place seems actually safe and calm. Did the Breezebuilders not find this tiny area? Or is it just that this little lizard guy already handled it?
photo by CatbatQuartet
#Spyro The Dragon#Ripto's Rage Soundscapes#Spyro Soundscapes#Soundscapes#Spyro#man. I went from Zephyr Ambivalent to Zephyr (Reignited) Fan because of this. Thank You Reignited.#how Did those cowleks get in there. Did they climb up the ladder.
