#i didnt take it as personally as some of the other employees. but i sure did get really annoyed at the girl groups comment lol

[orcelito]

Ykno what's somehow more annoying than a kpop stan? A kpop SNOB.

One of the employees (who's actually leaving soon, thank god) has been a kpop fan since like 2nd gen. And she makes it KNOWN. Somehow has "stanned" like every popular group in existence. Mentioned that she stanned stray kids until the song Double Knot came out & pissed her off so much she swore off the group entirely (I guess????). Used to like bts, but mentioned that she stopped liking them bc of the fandom (which is valid I guess, but literally just don't interact with the fandom then, that's what I do with stray kids).

She pissed the bts coworker OFF tho bc bts coworker made a list of group recs for 3rd gen (not 4th gen bc she did Not want to risk the bloodbath if any of the groups weren't represented properly). In the bts section (a modest section!!! Same length as the others!!!) she included 'Dynamite' as one of her favorite songs. And the kpop snob literally PUTS A POST IT NOTE pointing to it & saying "Dynamite doesn't belong on this list"

Like WHAT???? Is it YOUR GROUP being talked about here???? No!!!! She included a lot of songs from a lot of groups (with my input for ones like shinee & mamamoo), & then put her favs from her fav group. Like. Why do you have to be so needlessly nitpicky lmao???

now with the knowledge of strandy being human and alive during the 1940-50's, i have a bunch of thoughts about him

1. you already confirmed that he was such a snitch, and seeing as mccarthyism was rampant during 1950-54, he definitely lied or snitched on so many people and got them blacklisted from everything just for the fun of it. i'm sure that this would've gotten him some sort of social status at this time, but for the sake of his character im ignoring that ❤️

2. going off ur other asks about him being the stereotypical white dad of an average 1950's american family, he's definitely the neighbor who is up at 7 in the morning mowing his lawn and smiles a little too wide at you. you think he's just being friendly but there's this genuinely off putting vibe that he has, but because he's so well liked by everyone in the neighborhood, you don't push it.

3. tbh i dont think that he would have any resentment for his wife at the time ?? like we as the listeners already know that he's weird but im sure he plays up the uncanny factor whenever the two of them attend any sort of neighborhood event/meeting

4. just like the well-liked neighbor thing, he's definitely that one guy at work who is employee of the month every other month, but you seem to be the only person who realizes how weird he identifies. he grips your hand with a shake that's a little too firm, and his smile makes your stomach flip so much that you think you might be nauseous. but your boss is constantly saying that he's such a good guy, and your worries are dismissed just like that

5. he definitely lives in a big big house in the suburbs. the type of neighborhood where there are multiple cul de sacs and the grass is always green and the pets are always running around and the husbands and wives are always cordial with each other

6. changed my mind about the social status thing. i feel like he could (and probably would) take advantage of his popularity with his neighbors and workplace, so he would never be under suspicion about something. you saw him digging holes up in his background late at night? no worries, he was just making new space for his wife to plant a new bed of flowers!

that's all for now but i'll send more when i think of them :D

YOU UNDERSTAND HIMMMM!!! he was a freaky-ass white boy!!! i didnt think about him having a wife, but the facade was important enough to him that he probably did find someone who would stay with him. Loveless, of course, pre-Stranger Strandy couldnt be bothered to find any meaning when it came to love

Still, i think you pretty much nailed what his life looked like before he became an avatar!! chewing on this chewing on this

last month i flew to singapore for my 1st ever gp experience and some mildly funny stuff happened, so might as well archive it somewhere 🙂‍↕️

things that happened during singapore autograph hunting: posting as backup before i forget the details

starring: the entire grid but cr55 lh44 gr63 cl16 ollie and kimi mostly

before i saw any of the drivers i got interviewed by fujiTV as i was the only person who was able to speak japanese at the fence (first row bc miracles happen in life, also my japanese skills are closer to nonexsitent) and still to this day i cannot bring myself to search for any clips bc i'm pretty sure i looked half melted half baked in sg heat

the guards at the entrance were kind and hardworking, people did push a lot during signings but the fence thankfully held the weight and i survived so the security(and the metal fences) apparently did their job very well

checo max and papaya boys came to work early but didnt stop for an autograph🧎‍♀️ which was bit sad but kind of understandable

carlos was pretty early and his sign was the first one i got; he actually signed charles' merch cap even tho i was also holding a small blank postcard watercolor pad thingy to get autographs lol

he was sweet and kind and had this look of a bull who lost its way (/pos) which was quite endearing in a funny way

also body hair. so much hair right in front of my eyes. my friend commented "why didnt u take a bite of that fur" yea i shouldve

carlos also didnt know the owner of the pen he was using so a ferarri employee gave it to me and that's how i ended up with two pens

current pen count: 2 (one capless)

during waiting hours i made some friends and they told me about the different routes drivers were taking:

the drivers who stayed at hilton hotel walked to the gates and others who stayed at marina bay sands or diffrent hotel drove to the circuit; merc williams redbull(+vcarb) and alpine stayed at hilton, ferrari at marina bay, lewis at god knows where. a LH fan suspected that lewis might have a house at sg bc no one seemed to know where he was lol

anyways walking drivers were coming in a slightly different lane and i was at the parking lot side so i didn't have much hope of getting their autographs 😔

then lewis showed up and the crowd went WILD

george also came by our side despite walking to the circuit after seeing that lewis was here 🥺 he approached as across the grass like a tall deer

merc drivers & employees were by far the most sweet and friendly people i've met this day !! especially george russell !! he is an absolute angel a babygirl and my pretty princess 😔😔

he took time and effort to sign as many people as possible & he was smiling so brightly throughout the whole thing so it really made my day after the whole waiting process under singapore heat ugghhhh i love him so much!!! next time(if there happens to be one) i WILL bring a big ass banner for him i swear. THE BIGGEST ONE

i didn't have time to turn the page after george had signed bc i was trying very hard not to get squeezed to death between the fence and the people behind... also i was holding a charles photocard(which a girl i met there gave me!! thank u sm sol) in front of that page so lewis looked at the page and hesitated for a second like 'there's not enough space🤨' then pushed the pc aside a little bit to make space and signed there which was kind of cute

i was kind of nervous bc i heard that lewis would not sign merches he didn't seem fit (some fan told me that he refused to sign her mclaren cap before) but yeah !! managed to get one !!

then george left with my pen, which wasn't even mine it was my mom's (lol) she was actually happy to hear that bc george is her favorite driver haha

one gained one lost, current pen count: 1

during that chaos vcarb drivers passed by, oscar too showed up around this time but didnt stop by (but waved and smiled tho) i really don't know what happened to aston drivers but they seemed like a rare occurance from what i've heard, understandable

alex was also walking by & was having an interview so no pics of alex 🥺🥺

but then a navy porsche rolled in and charles stepped out !! he was very concentrated on signing and had a serious face on which kind of made me worry if he's in a bad mood but apparently he was just v focused bc he smiled at fans comments later on 🙂‍↕️

(look at him!! locked in asf) he both signed on my sketchpad and photocard so i ended up with two autographs (〃⌒▽⌒〃)ゝ

pierre walked by and esteban too, so we sang a happy birthday song for him 🙂‍↕️ zhou also visited & a fan was desperately trying to get his sign on a water bottle but he kind of. pretended not to see it lol

an hour or so later kimi and ollie also gave a visit too! they sure took their time signing and taking selfies & tried to answer everyone's questions and sign everything 🤭 kimi also wrote #12 in every autographs he signed haha

there was an ollie fan with a poster at the fence so kimi pulled him towards her and checked it out together which was v cute, i could see they are close friends

most importantly they gave back my pen after using so pen count stayed as one

final pen count: 1 capless

that's pretty much the entire experience! it was soooo humid and tiring but it was totally worth it. especially thanks to george 🫶 angel from heaven i hope it didnt hurt much when u fell from the sky 😔

[adjectiveadjectiveadjective]

had a dream that during hs prom they took you to a warehouse and removed you from your body, killing the body. unsure why or how this was a survivable process but it was and you got to keep your new, but identical body. anyway, i was very upset about it. everyone's bodies then got frozen in ice and then revealed in a big show in the warehouse display room. employees of the building went out in protective suits and stomped on buttons in the ground until a red spot of blood burst to the surface of the ice. then, the body would float up and the room would be all like "wow beautiful!" mine came up last, needing multiple employees to try and get up, and it looked wrong, like it hadnt frozen properly. the body kept twitching at the arms and legs. everyone was really scared and grossed out, but the event moved on from that since the weirdness was between us and a thick layer of glass. the boss came up to me and tried to scold me, and i explained to him why it was--i had minor tremors in my body when i was stressed--the body was stressed, so it had tremors. the boss grabbed my face and said that the process didnt work because i wore a bad outfit that interfered with the freezing process and that i didnt have enough color contrast on my person or a part in my hair. i told him that he never specified outfit choices, that i didnt even want to get frozen, that it was hypocritical to say my color contrast was off/too low when there were white blonde girls in white who were frozen perfectly, and that my hair shouldnt affect the process that bad anyway. he got mad and told me that i should buy the frozen me as a memento of graduating high school. i told him it was ridiculous to do that because i didnt have enough money nor the proper place to store it. he got mad and forced me to become an employee of his warehouse. the rest of the graduating class left with their bodies and i told them it was a scam, but they ignored me. eventually, my body in its ice was boxed up and placed on a wooden pallete, before getting surrounded by other things to get picked up by a crane. while i working at taking inventory, i started to tell the other employees to start a union. we, stupidly, met in the basement of the building during work hours, and while we were doing some paperwork to apply to/as a union, the boss called us over the intercomms. our supervisor who was also our ally in the union stuff hid us all in a bathroom and turned off the lights. she kept us away from security cams and then snuck out to deal with the boss since her keys had a tracking device on them and hiding with us would give us away. we snacked on some food from vending machines inside the bathrooms. a little while passed and we were surprised when someone came in and passed out some sledgehammers and told us to help demolish the building. we werent sure why but felt threatened by the sudden request so we just went along with it. eventually we got bored and walked out of the bathroom. we realized we were the only ones in the building so we just packed up, stole whatever we wanted, and left. i wasnt happy leaving the snacks and frozen bodies to rot, so i tried to figure out what to do with it when i was suddenly jumpscared out of this dream "map" i was on and into a different one. i was in a phone booth with an ipad on a side table. i moved the fabric cover for the ipad and it showed a death screen with some stats. i pressed the respawn button and it happened again, nearly immediately, but this time it showed me the specs of what killed me: a "wendmalgamation" of three highschoolers. i cringed at the name for being culturally and spiritually insensitive and decided not to bug that map for now.

[pommunist]

(Twitchtracker anon back again)

Im not really super interested in finances or statistics as a job lol, im just a nerd who likes to dig through analytics sometimes. Pretty much my whole essay length ask was made by taking twitchtracker numbers and putting them into a spreadsheet (So i didnt have to do averages manually), with some manual counting by hand for things like the number of streams.

(Also something i realized i missed when i reread my ask, the count of minecraft streams actually starts on the first day of qsmp, not the first day of march 2023 like everything else. Not super important but i wanted to make that one thing clear.)

Yeah i definitely agree that quackity's money doesnt necessarily equal qstudios money. However i also don't think a lot of the people who try and use the idea that "Quackity couldnt afford to pay that many employees" think about things like that, they most likely see quackity as the face and sole person behind his company (it is named after him after all), because you don't ever see them saying "Quackity studios cant afford to pay that many employees".

I do think that it's possible that for quite a while quackity's streams and videos were seemingly the only income stream for the company, with qsmp merch sales only really starting to be available and pushed more recently, and as far as i remember i don't think any qsmp events had sponsors or advertisers involved (I could be wrong here though, im not sure as I don't keep up with all the streams). Again im not personally a quackity viewer myself, so im not sure if he had any personal (quackity branded) merch sales outside qsmp before the start (early 2023, i know he had some back during dsmp but that's a while ago now) or during the qsmp. But from what i understand, he seemingly was doing a lot of the funding of the qsmp on his own.

Of course i don't think all his money was being directly funnelled to qstudios/qsmp, he still needs to pay for housing and utilities and food like the rest of us, as well as his travel to conventions/to meet friends (not saying he shouldn't travel, networking is an important part of any job). But i personally do believe he was basically the sole entity funding qstudios otherwise, unless there's some other income source we aren't aware of.

In regards to twitch monetization, the majority of streamers have a 50/50 split with twitch. Some bigger streamers having a 70/30 split, following the changes in late 2022 this split only applied to the first $100k earned, with everything after that going to 50/50, with that cap then being removed january 24th 2024. There's some stuff with the partner plus program that I honestly don't really understand because again, im not a streamer myself. I have no idea what split quackity has, though he is a partner. (Streamer/twitch for all split numbers btw.)

For how the payouts work, Via Twitch Affiliate Program FAQ: "As explained in the Monetized Streamer Agreement, there are certain costs, taxes, and fees that must be accounted for before you receive subscription revenue. Before the 50/50 split between you and Twitch takes place, deductions are made from the full price of a subscription, including taxes, payment processing fees, bank fees, currency conversion fees, etc. After the split takes place, we still account for required tax withholding, which is reflected in the payout you ultimately see on your dashboard. Twitch does not set or control the rates or fees, and they vary from region to region and by each subscriber’s payment method." Presumably this also applies to the partner program and the other splits.

Subs themselves are $5.99 USD, with other (usually lower when converted to USD) prices depending on the region of the subscriber. There's also ad revenue but I have no idea if quackity runs that many ads (or even runs them at all) seeing as his streams are usually 1.5-3 hours long (with the ads incentive program theres a 55/45 split of ad rev for a minimum of 3 minutes of ads per hour of stream, 30/70 otherwise), and again, not a viewer myself (I barely even watch streams live for streamers i do watch). And there's also bits, but those are a whole mess themselves so im not going to get into it.

I don't really know much about business running at all so of course everything is speculation based on the little i do know, and most of my twitch revenue info is directly from their help site, with some of the stuff about changes being from news articles about them.

Yeah that's pretty much it from me for now, glad you enjoyed my nerdy trawl through twitchtracker :)!

Gilded Gluttony: Part 1

Hello Hello! If you’re reading this i hope you enjoy the story, I wanted to say a few things prior to the story, that being this is my first really official post i’ve made on this account, I’ve spectated and admired this community for a few years now, I feel now I would like to contribute a bit to it, I also write stories just in general but most are unfinished since I don’t have a motivator, hopefully posting and maybe people liking it will keep me writing it out till the end! I also imagine this first part might be a bit rocky but i’ll make sure to make other installments smoother! Anyways enough rambling! Hope you enjoy! :)

Synopsis:

It’s hard to claw your way to the top in a big city, grit and hard work alone can’t quite get you there, this is what a young hot shot named Keith learns after being skipped on for a job promotion, defeated he turns to his lazy kickback friend Gage for advice. Keith goes through a journey from fit, young, passionate dynamo, to a bear-like hedonist looking to take as much as he wants and some extra just for the road.

*In a modern office was two friends, One named Keith and the other named Gage, Keith had started at this Office and month ago, it was a super swanky office, most people hardly did any work and mostly leisured in the employee lounge, enjoying the games, tv’s, sleeping pods, snacks and Gages favorite the food court, Keith was at times, self obsessed with his body, constantly trying to perfect it to god level, he kept himself well groomed and was extremely attractive, with caramel brown eyes that pierce into ones soul, Gage was somewhat the opposite, he wasn’t a slob (mostly because he would get fired if he wasn’t presentable) he enjoyed food and didn’t mind overindulging, he was scruffy compared to Keith, he had pale skin compared to Keith and had a chubby build due to his appetite and activity level, his hazle eyes always looked very relaxed and his golden brown hair was lazily middle parted and had hair scuff from infrequent shaves, but he didnt mind all that much, his main focuses in life outside of work is gaming and smoking, he wasn’t a bum by any means, he just liked hedonistic behavior.

This has been the same interaction between the two even since they were friends and high school, though college and during this job, they enjoyed each other a lot and there personalities compliment eachother, Keith helps motivate Gage and Gage helps Keith to mellow out when he’s to high strung.

The two where at the food court talking, It was a big day for Keith he was getting ready for his meeting with his and Gages Department Lead*

Keith: *he gripped his fist* today is day! i’m gonna go in there and show Henry Vanberk what I’m capable of! and then i’ll be so close to getting that promotion today!!

Gage: *he chuckled a bit* quite the manifesto there huh? *he took a bite out if his burger he was eating*

Keith: well yeah! this is huge! and speaking of! my meeting is in ten! i’ll see you in a bit Gage! *he dashed off*

Gage: *he shrugged and kept eating*

*in the Department Lead’s Office, the office was quite open and was modern in design*

Henry: *he sat behind he large desk tapping a pen*

*soon a main entrance to his office opened and popped in his secretary*

Secretary: Mr.Vanberk, Keith Findley is here to see you

Henry: perfect! send him in!

Secretary: certainly…

Henry: Thank you Lana

*she popped out and led in Keith and closed the door*

Keith: Mr.Vanberk, Thank you for taking time to speak with me today

Henry: Of course Keith, my pleasure, I do hope your time here has been treating you well…i’ve been watching you and you’re absolutely on fire!

Keith: *this made him absolutely light up* Thank you Mr.Vanberk

Henry: no thank you Keith! you bring such an energy to the office, I was quite hesitant to hire you considering Gage recommended you, but you have shown such great results, even you have increased Gage’s performance just being here for a month and some change, absolutely impressive!

Keith: I deeply appreciate you are seeing my work sir

Henry: certainly Keith, your young vital spirit is what we need here…of course you also know why called you in here

Keith: yes sir…

Henry: The position you desire, Assistant Lead is an important job and you have that strength and endurance to get that job done…but Keith you’re not quite there yet…

Keith: *he stomach fell, and despair hit him, he was white as a ghost at this point*

Henry: You hit every criteria we are look for except one…your not tenured enough, we want you to grow some more in your position before we move you up

Keith: M-mr.Vanberk i dont mean to come off as questioning your decision, but i’ve consistently been dominating in performance, I crank out the most work, I may be young and new but wouldn’t a position like his help me get that experience??

Henry: *sighs* i understand that but the person we gave the position to is tenured and performs well also, look you have all the material and attributes about you to achieve greatness here, but that only happens in its own time…right Keith?

Keith: Right…

*the two thanked each other and Keith left*

*at Gage’s desk*

Gage: *he was leaning back in his chair watching youtube on his computer, he looked up and saw an absolutely hallow Keith* woah! shit dude are you good?

Keith: *he stood there for a moment, his lips quivering and soon a few tears fell*

Gage: *he sprang up and went to Keith* oh shit dude! come over here!

*Gage took him over to one of the closets in the office*

Gage: are you all good? man whats the matter?

Keith: *holding back tears and covering his face* i didn’t get the job…

Gage: w-what no way?? you more qualified than anyone else here! you where top performing in our team just three weeks in! how could there be someone better?

Keith: Henry told me i’m to new and young…he went with someone more seasoned….i came in here like a fireball breaking performance records and all for this…

Gage:i’m sorry dude…you know what fuck this! lets get out of here!

Keith: I can just quit this job Gage!

Gage: no i dont mean that! we’re off of work in a bit, come over to my place, we will chill dude! i’ll give you some advice and we can bash on old ass Vanberk!

Keith: *he chuckled and sniffled* sounds good dude…

*at Gage’s apartment*

Gage: *sitting in his gaming chair* dude from here on out do as little as possible at work and take as much as possible, everyone fucking does it at work, play games in the lounge for most of your shift, take as much snacks as you want, take longer breaks and lunches, and just get the bare minimum amount of work done, you get paid the same at the end of the day

Keith: *sitting on Gage’s couch* are you sure dude? seems…bad…

Gage: dude everyone does it, Vanberk hardly even knows whats going on half the time, take advantage of your surroundings…

Keith: i dont know dude, it seems greedy…

Gage: trust me dude, you wont regret it

Keith: i guess so man, i am pretty pissed about that get that position!

Gage: yesss, sweet man, you’re gonna love it! hey and you deserve to relax, you should chill and watch a movie with me, i’ll order pizza!

Keith: *he laughed* sounds good dude

*the two where waiting on the couch for the pizza to come, Keith took off his over coat, and Gage went into full comfort mode*

*the door bell rang and Gage popped up and grabbed the pizza*

Keith: *he looked at Gage and was shocked* dude 4 pizzas?

Gage: yeah man! i got all kinds of toppings

*the two ate and started watching the movie*

Keith: *he was gorged on 3 slices and he looked at Gage who had finished a whole pizza and was picking at a second one, Keith then noticed Gage put of some weight since college, being once a thinner guy, but now sported a gut, he was so relaxed and happy with his life, enjoying the things he wants with the money he makes, he doesn’t worry about others opinions or expectations, he lives for himself, in a way Keith desires that*

Gage: *he burped loudly* oops ‘scuse me *he patted his gut*

Keith: hey Gage?

Gage: whats up man?

Keith: how do you like?…um live like this?

Gage: Uh like what?

Keith: Like so….chill

Gage: hmm well i guess it come from a mixture of not giving a fuck and trying to be high when i can be, i wanna live my life for me dude you know?

Keith: god i wish i could do that…

Gage: why not?

Keith: I feel too guilty…

Gage: no need to feel guilt man, this world takes as much as it wants from us all time, why not take back for our selves some time?

Keith: i suppose your right…

Gage: hey come over here more often, you’ll get it…you wont wanna bend over backwards ever again

Keith: I guess it would be worth it to learn how to be a bit more chill…

Gage: hell yeah

*the next day a work*

Gage: Imma teach you how to work a bit more self preserving hehehe

Keith: *he was bit sad about getting rejected for the job and he was rather spacey this morning* ……

Gage: Uh Keith?

Keith: huh? oh! sorry my bad, i was drifting off

Gage: are you thinking about what happened yesterday?

Keith: yeah…sorry…

Gage: No! don’t be, channel those feeling into encouragement to take back whats yours!

Keith: *sighs* feels impossible, it’s eating away at me, if i’m not being the best possible why should i even be around…

Gage: *he took a deep breath in and had serious face* Keith just because you weren’t noticed for your frankly back breaking work doesn’t mean there is an issue with you! its the people who chose not to acknowledge the work problem, you did everything you could, thats what matters, you tried! but now you have choice to continue to sacrifice yourself, or do something for yourself for once!!

Keith: *he thought for a second, tighten his fist* show me how you do this Gage!

Gage: perfect…

end of part 1

Hope you liked it! next parts will get into more hedonism, weight gain, slob, gainer and gay/queer stuff, stay tuned!! :))

alrighty im doing my best to reply relatively nicely because while your response is so deeply fucking condescending and rude that I would be justified in immediately blocking you just for being an asshole, it's also clearly coming from a place of misdirected frustration over your husband's job struggles so im trying to give you the benefit of the doubt

nowhere did i say that i expect internet employees to work for free to serve Me Specifically or that they "don't deserve to pay their bills", that is something you projected onto this. yes, i do believe the internet should be free, AND i believe the employees should be able to live, and i think a system that makes that impossible is indeed fucked up and am allowed to express a desire to want a better one. you said "you can bemoan capitalism but it is the structure we currently reside in" as a cop out but like. yeah, it is the system we currently reside in, and i do think that sucks ass so yeah i am gonna complain about it, that's what this post is, it's me bemoaning capitalism. i'm sorry that in your brain that translated to "the other victims of capitalism don't matter to me as long as i get out on top" but once again that is your projection, not what i said.

and yeah, you're right, even if it's not what i was doing the revolution doesn't start by demanding free labor of others. you know what else doesn't start the revolution though? saying anyone who is frustrated with the way things work now is inherently selfish and infuriatingly self centered just for wanting things to be free. when you say "yes capitalism is bad but theres nothing we can do about it so don't complain about the way things are" you are the crab trying to pull me back into the bucket, you said i "want to be the rich capitalist myself" but of the two of us, only one of us is arguing to keep around the whole "everything must cost money" thing here and it sure isn't me lol

like overall i think the lens youre looking at this post through is "this is my husband's job, it's what he's paid for, therefore anyone saying they want it to be free is saying he shouldn't be paid, and therefore they are advocating for money to be taken directly from us so that they can live it up like kings" which is an understandable pov but takes a LOT of leaps. now to be fair i didnt actually include an asterisk on the post saying i aggressively support UBI and even further think the entire concept of money and paying for ANYTHING should be destroyed so that employees wouldnt HAVE to work at all, but i also think autofilling that nonexistent asterisk with "by the way i don't think anything else about the world should change, just that internet employees should work for free to serve me personally:)" is a big stretch. and to be fair i think at some point you realized thats what i was saying which is why you added in all the "you can be mad but its The Way Things Are soooo" caveats, the system sucking is such an obvious answer that in order for me to still be the villain trying to personally steal your husband's money, you have to preemptively cut it off. which is even funnier considering in the post you say "What do you mean free? For whom?" and then continue as if i had responded "for me and me alone, let the peasants be crushed beneath my heel on my way to ad free youtube" without stopping to think i might just maybe possibly mayhaps have meant free for everyone. so to be perfectly clear:

- i think the internet should be free for everyone

- i think housing should be free for everyone

- i think food should be free for everyone

- i think money should not exist at all

- i think capitalism is evil

- i think no one should have to work to survive and want all work to be voluntary

and finally:

- i think your husband should like. join a union or get a better job so that you're not so stressed about it that you take a random post very personally and proceed to be excessively rude and condescending to the poster while completely misunderstanding the point they were making.

what's interesting abt all this too is despite all the excuses you make for capitalism here, that's really where this anger should be directed. me making a silly one paragraph tumblr dot com post is not the cause of your husbands shitty pay or shitty hours or shitty work conditions, capitalism is. but as you said we can't really /do/ anything about capitalism individually so it's much easier to want to direct your anger at something different, and "blogger who said a thing that sounds kind of like 'your husband shouldnt be paid while everyone else still is' if you squint really hard" is as good a target as any so i do get it to a certain degree. again, SUPER couldve done without the intense condescension about how fucking dumb and selfish do i have to be to dare to want free stuff, but i can at least see how you got from point A to point B

anyways. tldr no i do not think society should be divided into "the rich people with free everything" and "the unpaid peons who suffer and die to make the rich ppls stuff free" nor is that what i said, and "that's just the way capitalism is" is not the bulletproof shutdown you seem to think it is. i know that's just the way capitalism is, that's why i want it to change. i think that's a reasonable desire even if i personally can't just snap my fingers and fix it, and trying to shut down arguments for ways things could be better with "but thats not how things work right now" is actively detrimental to progress because it's saying we should just lay down and accept the current circumstances rather than making a fuss. you can do that if you want, however you cannot demand other people do the same (see what i did there)

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

hey babes.. it's been a while.

work is crazy right now lots of people got fired. this week is a vacation week. maybe the way that i type/speak may be more disoriented than it was before. andy is great, much love to that man for being a friend. i'll miss him since he is part of the 1/2 employees getting layed off. at work though i'm coming back with a fighting spirit though it doesnt matter because i think theyre doing more lay offs and for sure feel like i'd be in that group if they dont do it randomly again. looking forward to having a new job, not so much looking for a new one. i wasted my time taking to some guy a while back and missed opportunities talking to other people from fear of being seen as a cheater while that person was openly talking about wanting to have sex with other while with me. i'm a dumbass for trying any relationship. it doesn't work for me if i keep being seen like something that doesn't deserve respect. just don't cheat or plan on it is all i ask. if you work a min wage it doesnt matter. dont have a house? dont matter. i can love without needing luxuries. i also hate the new iphone update. why is it correcting the wrong words and completing words i didnt mean to type..?

I don't know what happened

I was doing really good cross posting everything to tumblr manually and then I just lost it after the rosstheboss night at milwaukee for some reason im not sure of.

Since then i had a week of rest and and then i went back out to see Ross in The Dictators and had an awesome day where I got to spend some time with him and got to eat dinner with him and the man known as Athenar from Midnight who it turns out is a big fan of Ross' which makes so much perfect sense to me because you can hear it in the guitar solos which I'm told he writes.

I fangirled over the two of them discussing gear even tho i dont know shit about whateverthehell they were talking about because it was just so cool i was in this conversation at all.

Saw The Dictators play with friends and had an awesome time.

My Metal neighbor and friend Chuck died suddenly for no real reason that weekend. Wasnt sick or anything. Just had a seizure even though he had no history of such things and his heart stopped and after paramedics worked on him and took him to the ER, he was brain dead so his family decided to let him go.

Been checking on his wife and doing what i can to help. Mostly by idk talking a load of bullshit i guess because i never know what to say but i think it at least provides some distraction which is probably helpful at least here and there. She is the kind of person you can't keep down and I know she will survive this but I'm not sure there's anything much harder than that to survive.

All this happened in the same weekend. I've known Ross personally for 19 years now so i guess that makes us old friends. And we talked about everything and things and people and getting older and I told him to go to the doctor.

I called my other two oldest friends and did the same with them too.

Then I went back to work on Monday where no one even said good morning to me forget about how was your awesome weekend with The Dictators you've had planned for forever? Because they dont know who The Dictators are and they don't care. And they didnt have a good weekend because they are miserable people so they dont care if i had a good one or not.

In the morning i didnt know how to answer someones question and everyone was on the phone so I told the guy I'd call him back. When I asked I was told that was dumb because this was simple and didnt warrant a call back. I assured him i gave the simple answer but i didnt know more specfiics the customer was asking so this did warrant a call back.

Went to lunch and the dizzy saleslady talked to someone i was waiting on a call back from, and she didnt read my notes to find out what they wanted and didnt give me the message when I came in that they'd called. I figured it out later and called her over and showed her where to look for my notes when someone calls for me so if its something easy she can just give them the answer.

Two hours later a guy calls asks for me and im on the phone. She tells him ill call him back. at 5pm. Shes gathering her belongings to go home and now i have to stay afterhours to call the guy back. I'm like did you look at my notes? It literally says i was calling because I sent him a link he needs to click to set up his autopay. You couldnt tell him to do that? I need to stay afterhours because you couldn't read my notes and tell him to click a link?

Suddenly the boss thinks its totally fine to call people back for stupid simple answers when this morning it was terrible customer service and he takes her side over mine because he's an asshole in general and picks fights with me on the regular because either he hates me and wants me to quit but doesnt want to fire me since he has no real grounds because my work is just fine and he just hates me because hes a joyless fuck who takes his stress out on me for some reason.

Or he just thinks this is a normal way to treat employees and expects thats fine that he treats me like this.

My fault probably because I've been putting up with this bullshit. I've been there a year and a half and hes been an asshole the whole time but its a good job for me in every other way or at least i believed that and I didn't put him in his place, because hes the boss. You dont win an argument when you arent the boss. So I just didn't argue.

Basically he randomly picks fights with me and I get mad and he says im "being irrational" because he doesnt understand that im being MAD and not even a little bit irrational at all and thats a super sexist dick thing to say and the only reason i havent CORRECTED HIM is because i was trying not to get fired.

Because if i said what i thought i would certainly get fired. But he doesnt listen to me anyway so theres no reason to say anything really. He has never listened to me ever about anything. I tell him theres pink mold in the bathroom he says there isn't. I'm like you can see it. and i cleaned the bathroom my damn self even though I am certainly not the janitorial staff. I tell him there are ants he says no there are no ants. I buy ant traps and get rid of the ants.

Anyway I spent my weekend in some existential thought with my oldest friends and people most important to me, and this motherfucker picks a fight with me over a thing there is no possible way I am wrong about.

and that was it. Life is too short to have a boss whos an asshole. I left and didnt go back. got my stuff the next day. bye fuck you asshole. youve ruined enough of my days. So ive been unemployed and looking for work since. I got a job offer yesterday so it took a week and a half.

No clue if my new job will be any good or not but i went in for the interview and it's beautiful in there and there was calm soft music and the guy who interviewed me was basically selling me on the job instead of the other way around. Told me they have almost no turnover but they are opening another location so they need new people. Asked why i left my previous job. I told him it was a personality conflict and i was just so unhappy there. He said he used to have a job selling financial products to insurance agents and they're all crazy. He may as well have put his arm around me and said, "it's ok baby, i got you". It felt like that. Sent me a job offer a few hours later. Pay is less, hours way different, commute is longer, but there's benefits. I had no benefits at that shitty job with that asshole for a boss who did nothing but make every day suck for me. I have so many stories of what a dick he is. He interviewed someone for my job a month or so ago. Because he never took the ad down. I was there a year and a half! He stopped buying the coffee i like too. If he wasnt trying to get rid of me he's just really shit at treating people like he wants to keep them. The longer im gone the easier it is to see that wasnt as good a job as it seemed from the outside. It wasnt even close.

It was hard. and complicated. It took me about a year to become competent. I was just starting to get good at it. He really should have seen that as valuable and that he should treat me well since he had such an investment of time and money sunk into me.

But he didn't. He never complimented me on anything ever. He never said so much as Good job about anything at any point. He was just an asshole if i did something wrong or sometimes even if i didn't. He'd go off on me randomly and I'd just say OK because i'm not going to argue. Because if I get involved in this I'm going to end up with no job because I'm going to tell him what I think.

So basically this is what ended up going down except i didnt even bother to tell him what i think of him because he doesnt listen to me anyway and i didn't feel like i needed to tell him what i think of him or anything at all. He's a joyless asshole under pressure to have a successful business and he's not doing it. Probably because he's an asshole and its a very people-person job.

He wanted me to handle everything. Even though I didnt know how and i'm not the business owner. He was mad about me directing customers to him. When they ask for him because hes the business owner. Good luck being successful dude. I'm out.

This guy who just hired me literally told me that if people are angry that wouldn't be my responsibility to handle. I'd get the manager for them. I'm like ??????????? really????????? because its been my job to get yelled at for my last two jobs now for about the last four years of my life. In fact, at some point during the pandemic it was literally my job for a month to let people yell at me for not receiving their furniture and once they calmed down giving them gift certificates. I did that for a whole month when I was really sick too. Probably the worst month of my life.

and i had some moment where i realized all this work trauma ive been through for the last four years and I just breathed and relaxed. and decided even if this guy didnt hire me and even if he was just talking a load of BS, becuase this asshole boss told me what a great manager he was in the interview too, it just felt so good to have someone on the outside tell me how a person should be treated as an employee.

Because thats not how i was being treated.

for years now.

and thats why i quit.

He gave me validation.

and a job i hope i like and can stay at for a long time.

Went to the funeral today.

Dude died, i quit my job, got a new job before the funeral. That was a big relief. I never thought i was making a mistake having quit but probably i should have looked for a new job first and then put my notice in properly but #1 fuck this guy i was done and #2 i didn't do that so here we are.

I spent the inbetween time kind of panicking that i'll never be able to get another new job ever because of the way I quit. But then also i worked for myself for 8 yrs before the pandemic and I loved it so its fine if i cant work for anyone ever again. I'm my favorite boss. it'll be ok. I just didnt want to go to all the trouble to set my business back up and look for clients again.

Having said that i probably have spent so much more time and energy looking for a job working for someone else. It's been awful. Job hunting is so demoralizing. and its even worse than that now I think because i got so many scammers trying to scam me while I'm just trying to look for some employer to not care that i left my last job suddenly because i cant get along with my boss.

but i got a job and i slept so much better last night than i have in the week and a half since i quit my job.

The details arent finalized so it may not be a done deal but just having a job offer at all is a weight off my mind. and i went to enjoy the funeral today. Thats not the right word. you dont 'enjoy' a funeral but i was able to be fully present at the funeral and have conversations with all these bereaved people who were mostly just in shock. All of them. I mean no one was expecting this and it really just seemed like no one had gotten past is this even really happening. I was in this room full of people who were in some surreal land inside themselves. I did what i could to talk to everyone but I'm not even sure what I was talking about and they didn't seem to care either. It felt like everyone was just glad everyone else was there.

Funerals all suck.

Theyre always weird and wrong and unsatisying but i think thats the place, at least for me in my limited experience, where you start to really come to terms with the fact that this person is gone. I think thats what theyre for.

Whats even weirder is that I had a tiki theme party to go to after. Which made the whole day even more surreal as i changed from funeral black to Hawaii and from sad to happy.

But the happy party after really made me feel normal in a way I havent now since he died in the first place. Just chatting with friends about things. Not existential things. Just normal things. Like things are normal.

Found myself referring to "my job" and meaning the old one. I dont know what my new job is like yet. I dont even know what days off I will or wont have coming up. Which i just realized may be an issue since people at the party were asking if i'm going to show up for things. i'm like yeah i have the day off work. and i remembered later i asked for the day off work with a boss i dont have anymore and a job i dont have anymore so i need to make sure the new boss is cool with giving me these days off up front or i'll have to find a differnt job i guess.

but i am very glad i have a job offer and I'm very glad i have happy friends and upcoming plans.

I need to cross post all my tumblr posts for the last four weeks i think give or take now. I didnt mean to stop doing it.

I felt a bit surprised that Charles had been able to assign our local, semi-concealed System Wizard a gender for longer than thirty seconds

definitely one of his more (dare i say rewrite?) annoying traits for sure

His legs slammed into the ground in relentless syncopated rhythm, creating a hysterical, deafening drumbeat that made old broken windows rattle in their panes.

diversity win! first non human entity to use he/him in this story!

It was hard to keep Charles from getting sucked into the seven-dimensional space reallocation error at the corner of Mill and Union, but I managed. Suffice to say it’s good that he’s quick on his feet. After realizing he was past the danger, he brushed himself off and glanced around. “Oh, come on,” he said to the empty streets. “How come nobody ever sees my most heroic moves?”

himbo (affectionately)

ooo the traffic light with the claws is also a he/him ok

didnt think id be entertained by this but here i am. if its as interesting as the lemonade cult then yea

I steered Charles towards some food, which he stole without paying [sigh].

youve heard it before and youll hear it again: absolute hell world that all this shit is still "secretly" (snippy has no way of knowing) being accounted for when the guy is just trying to not die. doing the best he can with the knowledge he has (captain wizardly does not a human body keep fed after all)

what the hells a dead zone wraith anyway

oh. a dex. whose job is "entertain" (scare) tourists. ok

NO WAY theres a journal entry from a dex thats not pilot though finally my reading wishes are being fulfilled

I honed my audio receivers in on the spot and picked up the telltale puff and huff of a filter mask. Say! I knew that guy! "Hey, Charles!" I called out and waved my hand. "Man, it had been a while! Remember me? Dixon 11-07-02?” I think radiation must have eaten through my speakers because most of my greeting came out as grinding screechy cough. Charles froze and stared at me without answering, chest rising and falling rapidly. He glanced around nervously, tensed to run.

tragedy enjoyers right now: lol

That was classic Charles! Always throwing things first and asking questions second. Well… more like throwing things first, and then running away at top speed. He’d always been an oddball like that. I know he has his… connectivity issues, but that tour guide book ANNET printed just for him explained me and the other wasteland D.Z.T.G. employees. “Well good afternoon to you, too,” I said, wiping the cement dust away from my optical array. When I had cleared my vision, Charles had vanished into the rubble like an agoraphobic rat. “How’ve you been, Charles? Haven’t seen you much lately.” Geez, I only wanted some company! Where’d he gotten off to?

tragedy enjoyers right now: lmao, even

its freaking me out that this guy looks way more like a robot than anything else. are we mixing up terminologies here or is this still a human-turned-android-as-capital-punishment situation and he just happened to get it worse because of his occupation?? CLEARLY not a human face structure, especially if its meant to scare and whatnot

aaah stuffs not making sense again. booooo. edit: missed the dex-WRAITH disclaimer sorry. its a different dex type. its not a satisfying answer but. its an answer i guess.

A notice popped up demanding that I take Charles to the organ harvest and Dex conversion facility. I skimmed over the notice. Psh! That couldn’t be right. The debt the notice described was much too immense for a single person to have accrued. How could someone owe that much to the Directorate? Excessive gambling? This had to be a filing error of some sort. I scrolled further. Well, that was a lot of parking tickets. Still, even all those couldn’t account for an infinite debt.

christ lmao. he doesnt even have a car though, are these from like. that run down car captain drove over the rainbow? i think zee left it at the knock off mcdonalds

The G-Overseer can kiss my rusty, metal derriere.

that futurama reference took waaaay too long to make

this is breaking my heart dixon is actually talking out loud to him and warning him of the debt but his voice filters stuff are mangled beyond hell so all that comes out is banshee esque noises. snippy accumulates 50 Ls for every W he scrapes by

"What's your name?" I asked. "You sound... cute." "I'm Matilda Trafficlight. Now please move away from Charles, before you give him a heart attack," she stated firmly.

can love bloom between a dex dead zone wraith and a traffic light with a name

“And how about I get you a coffee to apologize? I know just the place,” I added, feeling like quite the player. "There's a nice... G-bux coffee shop that's still mostly intact." "Oh, you’re too kind", Matilda said, and I wished that she was here in person again. All her lights always lit up together when she was excited about fixing something. "Very well, I accept!"

it can. yaaaaay!

(is dexes and objects with idiot AI dating something common in this world? like i thought that bomb was just being cheeky when she said 'this pilot is cute but i dont have time for dating' or whatever but maybe it's common place)

biomatrix is so close to becoming a regular im on the edge of my seat

[amiryllisthorn]

like you have this new activity called the coil, which is an activity meant to do multiple runs in kinda a rouge lite style of loop, and its actually pretty interesting!

HOWEVER

its still the same seasonal weekly bullshit that bungie seems like they will not get away from.

you do an interesting thin, listen to someone, do some bullshit chores(in this case BLIND FUCKING WELL WITH NO CHANGES OTHER THAN ITS SLIGHTLY HARDER)

fucking MORE MONETIZATION WHERE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO PAY FOR EXOTIC GUNS

and this is just a personal gripe but god I do not want to see a fucking billboard for the witcher when I am SUPPOSED TO BE SEEING DIALOGUE FOR THE MAIN FUCKING STORY

and on that note, the utter absurdity of having these macro transaction armor sets (that cost as much as full games btw) of wolf themed medieval armor, and NOT having new Iron Banner armor is just a choice.

Joe Blackburn wants this game to be as good of a narrative as past games such as Halo or Marathon, but as long as they keep treating the game as a cash shop first, and trying to get people to log in every week, it will never be that.

FF14 gets people to log in by having good content, that is approachable for new people to get into(multiple free xpacs) and is just fun to play. It has its own issues sure, but it isnt asking you to pay like $200 to play the god damn game.

Oh and lastly, the fact that Bungie is essentially refusing to actually acknowledge the mass layoffs, outside of some really fucking stupid comments from pete parsons, and like a paragraph or so in a halfassed twab, and how the poor execs didnt take bonuses is just fuckign insulting.

How Bungie fired 100+ people, including some of their longest employees, in surprise 15 min meetings, or by locking them out of their terminals is fucking amazon level of fucking evil, and I want the community to always remember that.

a friend of mine called Destiny 2 the RWBY of video games and I cannot get that out of my head.

He too, is an evil spirit PART 2

PART I Here

Tome: Thanks for coming with me to pick up my stuff Ekubo-chan. Ekubo: Heh Youre a student. How could you forget your homework? Tome: Hehe -They round the corner and there’s sounds of arguing- Tome: Huh? Ekubo: Huh? Voice: You made me feel so good after. Reigen: Well thats really…. Voice: I wanted to ask for your help again, and I never thought I’d run into you here. It’s too much of a coincidence. It must be….

Ekubo: What are they doing? Who is that? Man: You saved me! It was all your doing. Reigen: Im glad to hear that. Man: I’d love to have you over so I can properly thank you. Please come to my place. It’s very close to here. Reigen: Oh you dont have to thank me. It’s my job. I couldnt possibly accept.

man: It’s really very close! Reigen: I’m so sorry, today is a bit inconvienent. Ekubo: Why is it this guy (Reigen) who’s run across an unsavor character? Tome: What a needy client... Man: Surely, you’ll accept, right Master Reigen? I’d love a personal massage from you. Reigen: I’m sorry, Curse removal house calls are not part of the service package that we offer.

Tome: Ugh gross Tome thinks: Oh

Ekubo: Hey Reigen Got Trouble? Reigen: Ekubo

Reigen: Oh no, He was just on his way home, right? Man: Um well... uh.... yeah,... sure. I’ll see you around then.

Reigen: Ow! The hell are you doing?!

Ekubo: He transferred his obsession... things like this arent worth eating. He grabs it and it pops. 

Reigen:?  Ah, Tome, did you pick up your things?  Tome: Ive got everything, Thank you Mr. Reigen. Reigen: As you just witnessed, there’s  dangerous stuff out here. It’s best you head straight home.  Tome: Okay

Ekubo: That situation didnt look good... and why are you come along? Reigen: I wrapped up earlier than expected. Why don’t you go return your body and I’ll take Tome home. Ekubo: So then... who’s taking you home. Reigen: What?  Ekubo: um Ekubo thinks: Shit....  Reigen: Hey... You....uh... Ekubo: Apologies, I did not mean to imply you were an idiot or anything Reigen: Sounds like you did.  And how long were you going to hold on to that body anyway.  Look, I appreciate the concern, but enough is enough. You can’t keep doing this. Ekubo: I’m aware

Reigen: If youre aware, why don’t you get going? Ekubo: This guy works the night shift today, so it’s not problem if he sleeps later. Reigen: I know but...

Tome: So then... this too is a form of favortism is it not? 

Tome: Ekubo-chan is an evil spirit, so he shows a kind of favortism for certain people.  Ekubo:................ Reigen: Um...Wha.... Tome: He said so earlier.  Tome: Isnt that an odd thing to say? He said it was because he’s an evil spirit. | Reigen:..... Ekubo: Having favoritism for specific people is something that humans have too, you know. 

(Note: I’m not sure if theres a better word for this, but the term that’s being used is Favoritism + Preferential Treatment. Ie. treating someone better than other people, because you like them. Like a positive bias thing.)

Reigen: Tomechan, we’ve.... lets leave it at that.   Tome: Huh?

-Narration- I don’t quite understand how these two relate to each other . If I had to describe it, theyre like bastard friends that still for some reason trust one another. 

-Narration- Bastard friend (This is kind of hard to describe, but it’s a bad friend that brings out the worst in you.) Friend Employee It doesn’t really matter what you call it. What ever it you call it, it ought to be preceded by the phrase “An Important”  Whether it’s giving importance to the other... or for you yourseld to be regarded held up as important.....they seem happier around each other because for it. It’s like the calming glow of single bulb at the dark core of them both. 

Tome: So then.... one would give preferential treatment to someone they’d assigned a special importance to. I guess an evil spirit would think in that manner.  Reigen: Please kill me Tome: Evil spirits are so difficult to analyze... Ekubo: I’m being analyzed?

-Narration- The evil spirit will be back at the consultation office tomorrow. Because he has a kind of affinity towards the boss

-Narration- No one is asking him to come, and he has not obligation to be there. He does so out of a kind of favoritism, bringing a kind of caring of his own accord.  Tome: Ah....So....do you know what he smells like? -Narration- I guess this is fine Reigen:You mean Ekubo? How would I know? Ekubo is sniffing his sleeve: Cigarettes. This guy smells like cigarettes, Im pretty sure.

-Narration- As for reason? It’s because he’s an evil spirit.  (Note: Im not sure who is speaking below:) Reigen: Can I take a whiff? 

Ekubo: Wha..This idea that people have their own unique smells to people isn’t a thing. This is ridiculous,

Tome: Guys? 

Reigen: I feel like he’d should smell like cucumbers

Tome: Hey Guys? GUYS!

Hi can I have a jade leech x male reader? Jade misses MC after MC has returned home (Jade hasn't determined his feelings for MC yet), he goes to the place where MC used to live, and discovers a diary left there. That diary wrote everything about the MC's feelings for Jade. Please make it angst at first and happy ending in the end, thank you very much!!!

jade leech crush hcs? scenario?

angst to fluff???

floyd goes by he/xem/xir & mc has a cat bc i said so

warnings: no actual confession takes place in thw writing but its implied that he confessed & it went well

a/n: i play the en twst so i cant play any chapters past 3-13, so most of this is going off jades personality & how he acts in other fics. now i dont know if you wanted mc to come back to twst or something along those lines due to you wanting it to be happy at the end so

a/n after writing: i dont know if you can count this as angsty or even as hurt comfort. its more of 'jade is sad, jade is no longer that sad' so sorry if this doesnt meet your expectations !!

due to MC finding a way back home his friends missed having him around. one of those people being jade.

the normally calm jade was now on the slightly sad side, ofc he tried not to show it while working or while convincing someone to sign a contract. but it was obvious that he missed MC atleast a little.

now, jade was conflicted, while MC was here he wasnt able to tell if his feelings for MC were platonic or romantic.

Azul, who noticed that jade wasnt at his normal performance level that he was when MC was here, so Azul gave jade a break from work so he could rest.

jade decided to go to Ramshackle Dorm while he had his break. he knew grim would let him in as long as he brought tuna. due to MC being gone grim wasnt very happy but his mood slightly improved due to tuna. it was enough to let people into ramshackle dorm.

walking into your room he realized barely anything was taken. your books, clothes, empty tuna cans(i wouldnt take them either), some games, and some other things. one of those things were the book you never let anyone touch. because you were no longer here he decided to take a small look, just a tin-

oh. when he took that tiny peak he just so happened to open the page that you write before leaving. most of it were things that werent very important to jade. as he skimmed through it he noticed his name at the bottom of the page.

after closer inspection jade knew what he felt for MC. his feelings were completely romantic. now he was even more sad knowing that he never had a chance to confess to MC. before leaving, jade made sure that the room looked the exact same as when he first arrived. he knew what he wanted to do.

jade went to Crowley to ask what he did that allowed MC to go back to his home. while Crowley refused at first as he didnt want another student to leave, he[Crowley] asked if he can still contact MC while hes back in his world. he could, bc MC took their phone from this world into his original world.

that was enough for Crowley to allow him to go to MCs world.

now the hard part, getting Azul & Floyd's approval. Floyd wasnt at all happy that his brother wanted to go to MC's world until xe was told that he could still could still contact jade. thats all xir really needed. Azul wasnt very happy as his best employee wasnt going to be there to work anymore but he realized that jade wouldnt be very good st his job if he wasnt happy. Azul gave in after a few days but made jade stay till he got a unfortunate soul to replace him. that was all he needed.

after getting confirmation that he was allowed to go, he left. while he was gone Crowley, Azul, & Floyd started working on a way to get them back just incase jade and or MC wanted to come back. Jade arrived in your bathroom through the mirror. apon further inspection, this was infact your house. you just werent home, you were at school[bc twst is full of kids & MC is no acception]. jade quickly noticed the presence of another living being, turning around he was confronted by your cat. your chonky & cuddly cat.

when you came home you had the suprise of your life. a wild jade cooking food while your chonk of a cat was on the counter next to him. "hello MC" was all jade said before he went back to cooking. after changing out of your dirty school clothes. you asked why jade was here

"hey jade why did you come here? wont your brother miss you?" you asked while laying your head on your cat. "i got xir confirmation to come here. we can still contact each other. and from what i know theyre working on a way to get me back home if me meeting you again went badly" he calmly said after finishing making food. but he didnt anwser your first question,, odd

it took not even a few days for jade to confess his feeling and the reason why he was there. after the confession they both realized that they like it more in the twst world. it took a bit but Crowley & the other 2 found a way to bring them back. they brought the cat with them and they lived in the twst world from then on

cheesy ending. i cant make anything without a cheesy ending.

Harry never imagined himself in a situation like this.

Pining after women wasn’t something he did often. They usually threw themselves at him and he either had his fun for the night, or rejected them. He didn’t think too much of their feelings, or their interests. He didnt hang on to their words as they spoke and write notes into his personal journal about things she likes and dislikes.

The list so far?

Likes:

-orange cats

-caramel coffee

-the summer rain smell

-the colors pink and yellow

-quesadillas

-crochet tote bags

-silk eye masks

-thrift stores (especially with shop cats)

Dislikes:

-chocolate orange flavor combination

-overcast days

-bowler hats

-the mailman (unknown reason)

-popcorn kernels

-in n’ out (bad experience, apparently.

She was overtaking his own personal life. Being his assistant, of course she would be more prompt to being deeper than more employees. But he couldn’t help but pick out red ties more often because she complimented him in the color. She had gotten him a refrigerator magnet in Ocean City when she went for a girls weekend, and it was the sole magnet in the small water fridge in his office. She left traces of herself in his life that he couldn’t possibly ignore.

The most invasive and troublesome being his sex life.

He was getting to the point where he couldn’t get off without thinking about her. About her voice, her touch, the smell. His tiny, filthy and shameful snippets of when she leaned on his desk and he had caught a nice glimpse of breast, or the couple times she had bent over and given him an eyeful of her tiny panties and ass… how her dress would cling to her or the time she had accidentally soaked her white shirt with her water bottle and given him a view of her braless chest by accident…

Yeah. Every time he wrapped his hand around the thick shaft of his cock, it was a fantasy of her. The best orgasms so far in his life, only to be rudely awoken by the fact it was all fantasy. So what the fuck was it going to be like if he got his hands on her?

Y/N, unbeknownst to him was in the same boat. Smitten with his snarky comments, his thoughtfulness not many saw, and god, his beautiful face. It wasn’t lost on her that his gentleness was only to her. She had seen him yell too many times at other people and as soon as she would walk in, his tone would soften when directed at her. She got away with a lot more than others did and it did make people… talk.

They talked all about how she must have slept her way into the job. Placed bets on how long it would take her to get fired for not dropping to her knees fast enough. And while it wasn’t everyone, she did overhear it enough to make her upset. Hell, she wished she was getting dicked down by her boss, bur she wasn’t! And they still had all of the nerve to say it just because she had managed to stick around longer than the others. Understandable, Burt hurtful.

Harry was stuck, really. He knew that he either had to ignore it or make a move. But still, he was unclear about if she was actually into him- or if it was just wishful thinking. She was so kind to everyone, and he really wasn’t warm and fuzzy. His feelings were probably a bit more obvious, he thinks, and she hasn’t made a move. Was it because there was no reciprocation, or because they were at work?

He would need to figure it out.

“Y/N?” He called out to her desk which was outside of his. Another thing that had changed was his door staying open during the day more often. He liked to hear if anyone came up and was flirting with her, if he was being totally honest with himself. He had caught it a few times and that unholy possessiveness reared it’s ugly head. Plus, it made it easier to call to her.

Y/N perked up, standing up and striding towards his door. Upon his instruction of closing the door and coming closer, she did. Her mind went to mush though, because he looked…. So fucking good. With his hair slightly messed up for once, his white button up a bit tighter than normal around his biceps… she felt weak and dazed simply looking at him. His powerful aura was so, so sexy.

“I need help with a project after hours.” He was winging it. Completely and utterly winging it. “I’m redoing my den area in my home… and I’d like you to help me do it. You’ve got design experience, yes?” He crossed his arms, trying to not stare too hard at anything other than her face. It was hard.

“Oh- I’m, yes? But I’m not too good, I just make those Pinterest boards like I showed you? I was just planning and-“

“Good. I liked when you showed me them. My home is very boring. Sterile. And I would like some more… character.” In reality, it was just going to make him go insane even more at home. Seeing her in his living space. Things she picks out in his living room. It was so stupidly dangerous for their professional relationship considering how close Harry was to jumping her bones, but he wanted time away from the office to see if he was imagining her flirtations.

She was overwhelmed by the offer, but couldn’t say no. Not when it gave her an excuse to see him… in potentially casual clothes, and feeding her nosy imagination for his house. Plus, she loved to decorate. What could go wrong?

“O-okay, sure. When would you like me to be doing this?” Her voice raised in pitch, showing her nerves slightly. Adorable. He loved getting reactions out of her.

“Some hours during the weekends. You will be compensated and fed, of course. And I will be with you. We will do the shopping wherever you see fit. But you know me. I am very particular, so I wish to be involved in this process. The most I can be.”

Weekends. Alone with his assistant that he wanted to make his own so badly that he had to clench his fists to avoid grabbing at times. The assistant that had been the main star of his fantasies, the assistant that made his palms sweat and heart race.

He was interested in seeing how it turned out.

teenage walmart games??? I’ve been inside walmart maybe 3 times in my life I need an explanation

formal disclaimer: i am not suggesting you do any of these things in a walmart or similar store* even if i admit to having done some of them myself; the employees don't get paid enough to deal with them

-i mentioned in my tags a fictional game of capture the flag. while i think it would be difficult to full-on incorporate nerf guns into this for more than a few minutes irl, i know people play other versions of it in stores sometimes (i have participated on one ocassion & ngl its kind of fun)

-ive personally played hide n seek in walmart more than once (which is a little different than regular hide n seek in my experience, usually the hiding involves moving around a lot)

-walmart has such a wide variety of shit (for those of you who are less familiar, there's a grocery section & a retail section (including electronics, toys, outdoor equipment, home goods, office supplies, furniture). so we also used to play games where we would have a criteria (ex. The Squishiest Thing U Can Find) & everyone would run around in the alotted time to find The Item which best fit it

-there are lots of potential variations off of this. that "three items to freak out the cashier" game everyone always talks about on here & also a quick google search brought up an all-out walmart scavenger hunt & a walmart bingo

-many walmarts used to have a giant "cage" (it was flexible rope) full of those huge plastic bouncy balls. my walmart does not have one anymore. i imagine it's because i (& others) used to yeet the balls out of the cage every time i was there so i could play with them. i havent personally done much more than bounce them while shopping but i have to imagine that people more creative than me have made several games revolving around these balls and their prison

[Image Description: A Walmart bouncy ball cage filled with dozens of giant colorful balls some of which also have pokadot or zigzag patterning. It is taller than the aisles. The balls are mostly contained by roping, but the frame of the cage is made of metal. END ID.]

-idk if this counts as a "game" but when i was a child you could get ear piercings at walmart & it was for sure A Risk

-ive known people who make a game of shoplifting, seeing who can steal what & who can take the most risks without getting into trouble (in my experience folks either know EXACTLY how companies like walmart deal with shoplifters or they don't know jackshit, there is no in-between, my advice is that knowledge is power)

-there are legitimate ways to have fun in some walmarts, ive been to several that have a few (3-5) money-sucking arcade games.

-they also sometimes have fast food places in them, so any kind of havoc you can think of perpetuating at mcdonalds or subway, you can technically do it in a walmart (just a reminder not to terrorize the employees at these places in real life. please. i used to work at a mall subway like i will fight you)

-this is just off the top of my head at 3 am, im sure a group of bored 16 y/os could come up with something really fun

-obviously you can do these things in similar stores but i feel the need to explain the energy of walmarts to those who havent been in them so much. they really do feel like the worst liminal space you can possibly imagine. all the typical social rules and decorum are gone. the rumors about people wearing what they want and doing what they want in walmart are generally very true (yes you see guns on people's backs there in open carry states). the lights are too bright for me in all big stores like that but they reflect off the floors in a way i find particularly blinding. it's also usually crowded unless you're there during work/school hours. recently my walmart went to all self-check, no bags & that made the environment more hostile which i didnt know was possible. if this were a more serious post id explain in detail about why i think walmart gets a bad rep for some classist reasons and why it DESERVES a bad rep for some capitalist ones but since this is funnyman hours im just going to leave it there

-im going to leave off with a question to my walmart-familiar followers: what is the most chaotic thing you've ever witnessed in a walmart?

*except the shoplifting. i always encourage shoplifting
