A reminder that those SSO horse candles will exist, hopefully for a limited run because of how much they are being slammed. It’s not going away until those candles physically exist and are for sale.
Originally an April Fools joke or not, their “expert panel” are real horsey instagramers who no doubt cost a LOT (businesswomen, international/olympic level riders, tv personalities, they’re not SSE or SSO connected doing it for free like Elli and Helena). And they’re posting about it, possibly because it’s a product/promotional deal they will get a cut of. I’m not tracking their instagram stories, but so far at least one video post has gone up. Given SSO didn’t give an end date for picture submissions or when the candles will be released I expect the other two will post about it when there are more details. God only knows how much those three women cost SSE (and how many comics or novels that could have paid for instead).
Be vocal, complain to SSE and to their Support inbox, and directly call out their Marketing team for coming up with schemes like the candles. Their marketing department either doesn’t care or is really just THAT out of touch with what the fanbase wants. Think #ReclaimHorsegirl (oops we meant Ride With Us haha we bite people we’re so quirky!), or JoJo Siwa (love her but that was a flop in terms of helping the game in any way), or that time they made Star Stable Stories (remember that fever dream that looked like a scam??), or the numerous times they didn’t credit Elli on comic posts. Those were all Marketing.
#sso#don't mind me I'm talking#and not knocking those three ladies I'm sure they're lovely but they're 100% getting paid#which they should be but like#that is not a good look SSE after what happened#you ever watch a train wreck in slow motion except you're standing in a crowd#but you're one of the few people in the crowd who knows was some of the stuff INSIDE the train is?#so you're just bracing for how bad the wreck is actually going to be once people realize just how HOW ridiculous and bad it is#once everything comes out if it does come out#but in the meantime you're just watching the train with the rest of the crowd barreling toward disaster#that's how I feel#that's how I've felt for a while but I keep learning more and more about the contents of the train#and just going 'ooooo that's uh. oh boy. oh dear. can't wait for everyone else to find out about this.'

My new job has been way harder than I would like it to be... For those curious, I'm currently working for my city. We basically mow lawns, clean the parks etc. From 7AM to 4PM (I only work 7 to 12 tho) The first day was easy, second day was okay, today was ROUGH.
If it wasn't already obvious, I draw and play video games in my spare time so I have, humilating, weak arms. I can't do as much as I would like to without getting help from the guys I work with. Which wouldn't be an issue if any of them could actually lend a fuckin hand around here.
I've only been here for 3 days, I have no experience with doing yard work other than lawn mowing, weed pulling, and again, weak girl arms over here. It's really hard to get their attention because I'm about 75% certain they're either really deaf or purposefully ignoring me and my sister when we ask for help.
I wish I could be working with the older guys who hired me. 1. Because they actually walk you through what you need to do and let you do things for yourself. And 2. Because, well.... Teenage boys, man. They're just a NIGHTMARE to work with. It's like they have no fucking clue how to communicate basic instructions or demonstrations. They either make me feel stupid or make me realize how stupid THEY can be. There's never an in between.
#Get me out of hereeeeee#I can't quit either because holy shit the pay is awesome#And I'm a greedy little shit#But omg#I feel so useless#I don't WANT to be paid to stand around when I know there's something to get done#And I want to make a good impression on my bosses#But for the love of God if I'm going to do that you have to actually give me the weed whacker#Let go of it Tyler just let it go#GIVE IT TO ME#doodles rants#vent

do i make ashara more devoted to mythal post trespasser or do i alienate her from the evanuris entirely. is she immune to propaganda by virtue of how badly solas damaged her ability to believe in anything or is she especially vulnerable to it now bc she still WANTS to believe in anything. is she sporting subtle mythal details in her costume design or is she not
#love talking to myself on tumblr dot com <3#oc: ashara#i feel like she's always believed in the principles/vague mythos of the evanuris more than taking it all at face value#so even tho she might know the truth abt the evanuris she would still hold mythal's values of justice close to her and express it thru her#but also like. having MET mythal. and drank from her well. actually meeting not just the gods but YOUR god and her being confirmed the#''nicer'' one who tells u that ur cool and are doing a good job... idk. i think theres a possibility of her being manipulated/doubling down#and like.. she got rid of her vallaslin for solas and then HE left. her inquisition is frail her relationship with her clan is frail#her family is mostly dead lol. no arm no anchor...... like. mythal's approval + the well is all she REALLY has at this point#and she gets attached to people. to things. so so much .idk. its tricky bc shes lonely and needs some sort of SOMETHING to keep her going#but she also deeply believes in The Truth and accepting reality even if it sucks. so idk if she'd hold on to smth just out of comfort/habit#bc shes a pragmatist at heart and open to change. but like circumstances are sort of pushing her to her brink lol#i genuinely have no idea. maybe the secret third answer is that This is the problem shes facing in datv#the crisis of faith. wanting to stand by her ideals versus wanting to feel held by SOMETHING even if its a lie#and a character breakdown as a result that could go one of two ways#man its so funny talking abt her like shes a Real character i am being paid to write. insane that im doing this for free for an audience of#like 3 people who care JKJGFKJFGKJGKF

Oh man.. a part of me can't help but wonder when Paige and Hayward got to talking about Carpenter and Faulkner. Was it when they got to Bellwhethers? Did they arrive there and Hayward talked about how he found it only to have Paige set him straight on what exactly happened, that Carpenter and Faulkner weren't to blame for it? Did they have to go through a whole "let's talk about the elephant in the room" moment and did Paige also tease Hayward about his whole "I'll hunt you down until the ends of the Earth" speech?
And on that note, I also can't help but wonder how Paige told the story. Considering how much emphasis TSV puts on stories, I can't help but wonder what Paige did or didn't tell to Hayward. Did she tell him about their conversation at the restaurant, when Carpenter revealed what happened to her parents? When Faulkner stood up to the angel? It's especially amusing to me that Hayward immediately refers to Faulkner as "the lory thief" like.. did Paige and Hayward have a good laugh at the absurdity of Paige getting put in the trunk of her own car because she stumbled upon their attempted theft? And that's the thing that stood out most to him? This isn't meant to be Deep Thoughts about this part or anything I just am fascinated by the image of Paige and Hayward talking about the other two, a conversation that completely changed Hayward's perspective of Carpenter to the point that she's now an old friend to him.
#the silt verses#this goes hand in hand with how amusing it was to me when the two talked about paige in s2#carpenter voice: I'm glad she's back home. can't stand the thought of hayward getting his hands in her#/cut to paige and hayward chilling and skipping rocks#it still makes me laugh#anyway on another note I love that paige's “I took a two day seminar on conflict management” skills come into play#like girl's seminar paid off as best it could#chekhov's gun except its conflict management skills

They don’t show it much I think he only goes out there once or twice but the little patio off Alan’s office is so cute… his enclosure for reading comics and talking about cannibalism
#I didn’t get a screengrab of it but he really is reading the funny pages here. I bet he loves calvin and hobbes :)#alan shore#I could spend 100000 hours thinking of little scenarios#but like. imagine you’re talking in his office and it starts snowing the first snow of the season and you love snow#so you go stand on his little patio balcony on the 14th floor. he thinks it’s silly he’s never paid the weather much mind it’s just there#but he watches you look out at the skyline and there are little snowflakes falling in his hair and the wineglass he’s holding and he smiles#and the office holiday party is next week so he puts his drink down and comes up behind you and says we should practice. and dances with you#which is even sillier than the snow. but there are snowflakes in his eyelashes the cold makes his cheeks rosy your breath clouds together#uh. who tf said all that. embarrassing

Okay so it turns out the brilliant Tangelene Bolton (creator of Warrior Nun’s stunning soundtrack, including Beatrice and Ava’s beautiful theme) has read Avatrice fanfiction.
Every time I think I can’t love this cast and crew more- 💖
#oh and the lovely person who tweeted this is one of the core people we have to thank for the OCS newsletter btw#seriously this cast and crew is just. . . ✨#they blow my mind#*insert that one KTY mind blown pic*#so dedicated so passionate and so kind! to keep interacting and fighting with us#going far beyond ‘just a job’#it’s also their pleasure and it shows#people like William don’t stand to benefit from the show being renewed necessarily#and people like Trisán and KTY don’t get paid for doing the little interviews online or in Twitter spaces and things#they’re literally just doing it matters to them and they believe in it and mostly they see how much it means to us#and I think that’s just so cool#anyway I’m exhausted from work so I’m rambling#Warrior Nun#Avatrice#Tangelene Bolton#Avatrice Fanfiction#music score#composer#Spotify

having an existential crisis because i can't decide if i should drop an irresponsible amount of money to meet some internet guys i've been fixated on since i was a teenager or be normal
#like i am doing it for 15 year old me who drew cat whiskers on her face and went to school like that#(also drew them on my best friend that i was totally not a little in love with)#yes this is about dan and phil again stick with the program#and when doing the math...a single gold vip ticket (w/o fees) adds up to about how much i make on a single sunday at work#the mental gymnastics i have to do to justify it are really quite minimal#but my anxiety about money is immense so...the horrors consume me nonetheless#there are two wolves inside of me:#one hates the idea of having to pay for human interaction on any scale#the other understands this is their job and all work deserves to be paid#there is also the horrible reality that i am going to die poor no matter what i do! so i might as well have some good silly fun while i can#and my friend agreed to go with me even though she simply does not care about them anywhere near as much as i do#and i fully plan to pay for like...half of her ticket to make up for it...#so...a little ouchy on the wallet...but also silly and fun and something i will probably never get the chance to do again#personal#secret controversial fear is i love their yt content but i fear what the live show will be like i hate stand up and most comedy specials...#what am i signing up for

A question for my concert going friends: how do you feel about artists/venues doing priority entry? As in early entry, not disabled etc. Personally I really dislike it, as it pushes that idea that you can only be a "real fan" if you have enough money to do so. And "real/better" fans are always perceived as the ones at the front or with the best merch.
I'm probably just bitter as I don't have the money to be able to do priority entry lol, but I think it is just generally unfair, and I really wish more artists would stop doing it. Also if you're in the UK you probably know how the O2 venues work, and I just think thats ridiculous.
#I posted this on Facebook but I feel like people will be more honest here#as someone who LOVES being by the barrier at a concert#that shit is EARNED#its so heartbreaking when you've queued for hours and hours#just to see people who've paid more arrive at doors and get in before you#and yes you could say that working extra hours counts as earning that spot too#as it means you can pay for the priority entry etc#but queuing those few hours is just so much more accessible for most#and easier than picking up extra shifts imo#of course its never going to be 100% fair#but I just wish more artists and venues would see how hurtful having early entry is#have VIP and shit thats cool#but people who cant afford that still deserve to see their favourite band up close yk?#instead of having to stand behind all the “proper fans”#I have physically been pushed backwards because of this#because I was second row and I made the mistake of telling someone that I was regular GA#the person behind me had paid for VIP and acted like I was not allowed to be in front of her#even tho I got to my space before she was there#no one is entitled to be at the front#I have arrived at doors and still gotten second row#I've also arrived 4 hours early and not gotten the front row#but I wish I had gotten it fairly#instead of having to pay more#wow that was a rant#I have said my piece#I would love to know your opinions on this

She turns out to be an invaluable resource--her people skills are much better than either his or Wei Ying’s.
hmmm I was going to say this is doubtful but wwx does have a tendency to grate on people especially when he's not interested in playing the game. like he's good at handling social situations and very charming but given the chance he'd rather umm not kiss up
#this is abt mm btw#I like how ppl make her lwjs buddy in fics even tho they met like three times#bc they do respect and appreciate each other!#and I love seeing mm have attention paid to her and getting to be a hero and stand up for her ideals!#ficblogging

Walked out of work today bc long story short a guest decided that she was gonna lecture me/use me & my "abhorrent, disrespectful attitude" as an example of a lesson for one of her student & I decided that standing there & being belittled wasn't worth it
#i only gave her back the disrespect she was giving me. not even as bad as she was dishing either#granted i couldve kept my composure but also she was up at the desk for 45 minutes making a mountain out of a molehill#& among other things in her ''lecture'' she told me that if any of her students or employees acted the way i did they'd be dismissed & fire#she said ''post covid there are PLENTY of people who would be lucky & LOVE to have any work right now'' & i thought#yknow. i love my job. but i dont deserve this. this isnt worth it#so i turned to the food & beverage manager who was the only MOD & said ''actually i think i will go home''#i called my AGM after i left & let her know the whole situation. even told her i understand if im fired or written up bc of this but its no#worth standing there & being lectured & having this lady lie to my face about things i said/did. i dont deserve to be treated like that#the woman really told me ''this couldve been a teachable moment for you'' LMAO lady i will let a LOT of shit slide#but i refuse to be the subject of your lesson & i certainly dont get paid enough to have anyone who isnt management lecture me#it just feels weird though. ive never walked out before. never spotainiously taken the night off. never had a situation like this before#it feels weird having left & it feels weird sitting in my bed trying to enjoy my night when my brain knows im supposed to be at work rn#oh well#my AMG said im definetly not fired & she'll talk to the lady in the morning. i couldnt care less if i was though. theres always other jobs#and to preface i even apologized to the woman both for my behavior & the disrespect. yet she still felt like making an example of me#what a week its been#emma rambles#emma vents#2023 tag

just watched Across the Spiderverse. literally cant stop thinking about Pavitr
#i know people love Hobie (& i do too) & Miguel (dont like that guy) but man is Spider-man India cool as fuck like hello??#like they made the perfect man is what they did. they took a perfectly fine superhero & made him even more perfect#also why didnt anyone tell me it ends on a fucking cliffhanger to be continued. why would you do this to me#im over here hyperfixating on Spider-man for the first time since like 2017 & the movie ends on a cliffhanger tbc#you're killing me. i have adhd & you are killing me#anyway after saying all that i still want the next movie to come out in a long time from now when the ppl working on it are getting paid#i may have adhd & it may be killing me but by god if i have to keep rewatching the same shit over & over again then so be it#Andrew Garfield save me#im finishing the game. i wanna play the Miles Morales game so bad man#id get into the comics but. idk. seems to complicated. also cant stand the 'woman wearing body paint as clothes' ''artstyle''#that like half of comic artists use for some fucking reason#if there's actually some good comics anyone recommends feel free to tell me. i'll be playing games & rewatching movies & tv in the meantime

i kinda don't want to go back to camp but some of my stuff is still there
#so basically i have to go home every weekend (go home Friday after lunch go back sunday after lunch)#which means i have to go back tomorrow#and all i want to do is talk to the silly people on my phone and not be extremely misgendered and unable to correct people#cause telling campers my pronouns isn't camp appropriate.#sometimes this camp makes me want to die a little#but i already paid for the three weeks and i don't want to just waste that money#and i have some fun#but it kinda sucks to be there without my phone and it's hot out and i get misgendered and asked why i have a cane and told to get over my#meltdowns by another C.I.T amd there's never ang silemce except when I'm sleeping and the food isn't great and my schedule has to completely#change for it and i have to go to bed early and i have to stand the sun to lead songs and I'm almost always moving or standing and everyone#is loud all the time and singing during meal times is hell cause the lodge echoes so it's just really loud and i cried 4 times last week and#had about 2-3 meltdowns in five days#and I'm exhausted from it and i can't do what i used to love doing at that camp because it causes me so much pain#and no other person at the camp has mobility issues besides the 70 uear old CIT director that very obviously doesn't fully believe i need my#cane or to sit down frequently or take breaks#so yeah I'm a bit overwhelmed#not to mention i don't even know if i want to be a counselor at that camp anymore because of the whole pronouns thing#the media director said i might be able to join the media team they want to put together#and i really love this camp cause I've been going to it for so fuckin long and I've wanted to be a counselor here since my first week as a#camper#but it's all a lot#and i don't know if i should take a stand and be like “nope I'm not gonna let you treat me like this you just lost a future employee” or#just suck it up?#i hate breaking promises i made to myself in the past#and i told myself i was gonna be a counselor here no matter what#but i just dont know if i can take all that bs all summer every summer#ugh#tw vent
