Steve Harrington x Reader || 3k

If you had known exactly what the amazing job opportunity your photography professor had offered you was, you probably wouldn’t have accepted it. He made it sound so appealing though. It paid above minimum wage, and it was only nights and weekends, so it wouldn’t interfere with any of the classes you were taking. It seemed almost too good to be true.

Of course, that’s because it was too good to be true. You’d unknowingly accepted a job as the photographer in Santa’s Village down at the Starcourt Mall. When you saw the bright red and green elf costume that you were going to be required to wear, you contemplated bailing, but as a broke college student, you decided you couldn’t afford to turn down the best paying job you could find over something as trivial as a jingle bell hat with fake elf ears.

You adjusted your name tag as you entered the staff room for Santa’s Village employees. If there was one saving grace of the job, it was that you got to choose your own elf name. You’d settled on Noelle. Simple, sweet, and Christmas-y enough to be a decent name for an elf without being obnoxious about it. The other two “elves” that you’d be working with were already there and wrapped up in conversation. Their name tags read “Jingle” and “Jangle,” so you figured they must have known each other prior to this and chosen their names together. Jangle said something that made Jingle laugh, and she shoved his shoulder in response.

Just as you were about to introduce yourself, a woman dressed up as Mrs. Claus entered the room and commanded your attention.

“Alright everybody. Listen up,” she said as she looked down at the clipboard in her hands. “Our first shift is starting in about five minutes, and I’ve got a lot of information to cover before that happens. We’ve got a few ground rules to cover, and then I’ll hand out job assignments. First and foremost, we only refer to each other as our character names out there. I don’t care if you use your real names in the break room, but we are creating Christmas magic, and we don’t want to break that illusion for the kids. Keep your language clean and your faces looking happy. I don’t care what’s going on out there. You’ve gotta keep smiling. None of you will be in the photographs, but you’re still a part of the experience, and no one likes a cranky elf. Save it for your breaks. We all take a break at the same time. Weekends like today are four hours from the start of the shift, an hour for lunch, and then another four hours on the floor. Week night shifts are six hours on the floor with a break somewhere in the middle. Santa chooses when that happens.

“Now, for your job assignments. Noelle, you’re the one with photography experience, right?”

You nod.

“Good. You’ll be our camera elf. You snap a couple pictures while Santa is talking to the kids, and then you get a posed shot at the end. Super simple. Jangle, you’re in charge of walking the kids over to Santa and helping them on and off his lap if needed. Jingle, you hand every child a candy cane and a tiny stuffed reindeer before you reunite them with their parents at my table. I take care of getting them to buy photos and all payments. The first day we’re open is usually pretty slow, but it will get busier the closer we get to Christmas. Take a minute to prepare your happy faces, and then meet me out there.”

With that, Mrs. Claus turned and exited the staff room.

“I don’t know what I was expecting from Joyce as our boss, but it definitely wasn’t a no nonsense control freak. Who spit her Christmas cocoa?” Jingle said, earning a laugh from Jangle. Satisfied with his response, she turned towards you.

“I’m Robin, and this is Steve,” she said. She waited for you to introduce yourself before speaking again. “Please never call us by our elf names if we aren’t on the floor. I hate them more than anything in the world.”

“You’re the one who picked them,” Steve replied. “This is totally your fault.”

“Only because you wanted to call yourself Hermey. What kind of name is that?”

“Hey! Don’t disrespect the first elf dentist like that. He probably did wonders for the world of elf tooth decay.”

At first, you weren’t sure how to take their bantering, but you soon learned that this was just the way they were with each other. In addition to the bantering, they seemed to speak in a silent language of eyebrow raises and weird looks throughout the morning half of your shift. During lunch, they practically sat on top of each other and shared Robin’s sandwich since Steve had neglected to bring his own food. There was a familiarity between the two of them that led you to believe that they were intimately involved in some way. They definitely made a cute couple.

And maybe knowing that Steve had a girlfriend that he was obviously very committed to would help to keep you from developing a crush on him because, by the end of your first week working alongside him, it was obvious to you that you’d be a goner otherwise. When the kids didn’t want to smile for their pictures, he made funny faces at them from behind the camera and told corny jokes to get them to laugh. Even though he hated the hat that they were forced to wear as a part of their uniform, he never complained in front of the kids, and he always had a smile on his face. He always asked the kids what their names were if he didn’t overhear their parents saying them, and he whispered their names to Santa just so you could see the kids’ faces light up when Santa already knew who they were. Those were some of your best candid shots.

You could pinpoint the exact moment that sealed it for you. It was towards the end of your shift on Sunday. The mall was closing in half an hour, and Mrs. Claus had already closed the line for pictures with Santa to make sure that everyone who had already been waiting got to have the full experience with the big guy. When it was finally the last little girl in line's turn, she started to have one of the worst meltdowns you'd seen so far that week.

Meltdowns weren't exactly uncommon. Sometimes, the kids were just tired from waiting in line for so long and desperately needed a nap. Other times, their parents had dressed them in fancy clothes to get a decent Christmas card photo that were too itchy or too warm, and the kids wanted nothing more than to be wearing literally anything else at that moment. And then, there were times when they were afraid of Santa and needed a little extra encouragement to make their way over to him. Even when he was in the Santa get up, Hopper was a pretty intimidating guy, and you couldn’t really blame the kids who were afraid to go up to him before they saw the kindness in his smile. You weren't sure which one was the case for this little girl, but she was wailing, clinging to her mother's leg, and refusing to get any closer to Santa than she already was.

“Tiffany, sweetie, what’s wrong?” the woman asked as she tried to coax her daughter forward. “You were so excited to see Santa just a minute ago. Don’t you want to show him your pretty dress and tell him what you want for Christmas?”

“Don’t wanna!” the little girl cried as she gripped her mother’s leg even tighter.

“I am so sorry about this,” the woman said to no one in particular. “She’s not usually like this. She loved meeting him last year. I honestly have no idea what happened.”

The woman was about to scoop up her daughter to leave, but Steve stepped in and crouched down to get on the little girl’s level.

“Hey there,” he said softly, trying not to scare her. “Do you wanna tell Jangle what’s wrong? Maybe I can help.”

The little girl’s eyes darted between Steve and Santa before she went back to hiding behind her mother’s legs.

“Does Santa make you nervous?” he asked.

The little girl nodded.

“Santa used to make me really nervous, too.”

“Really?” she asked, her eyes going wide.

“Oh yeah. The first time I met him, I was shaking so much that the jingle bells on my shoes and hat were going nuts. But you wanna know a secret? Santa is maybe the nicest guy in the whole world, and he gives the best hugs. And I know that nothing bad is gonna happen if you go see him. I’ll be right there the whole time if you need a buddy.”

“You promise?”

“I pinky promise.”

He held out his pinky to her, and she linked her own finger with his before cautiously stepping away from her mother.

Most kids walked up to Santa on their own, or their parents carried them over if they were too little to walk on their own. However, this time, Steve took the girl's hand in his and slowly walked her over to Santa. You watched as he leaned in and whispered the girl's name to Hopper before moving to help her up onto his lap. For a moment, the girl clung to Steve in the tightest of hugs, and your heart melted as you snapped a couple candids of the moment.

Once she was securely on Santa's lap, Steve made his way back over to his position next to you and the girl's mom, and the rest of the interaction went smoothly. But, in the back of your mind, you were trying to push down the way your heart fluttered when you thought about him.

As soon as your shift ended, Robin ran ahead to take off her elf uniform in the locker room as soon as humanly possible. Hopper and Joyce were in deep conversation about the days numbers which left you and Steve to make the walk back to the locker room together.

"You were amazing with that last kid," you said, trying to fill the silence.

"That? I was just winging it. I have no idea what I'm doing," he replied.

"No, really. I never could've diffused that meltdown as easily as you did. She loved you. All of the kids do."

"It was nothing. You're the one with the actual skills here. Capturing everyone's memories."

"I just point and click," you said with a shrug.

"For the posed pictures maybe. But the candids? That's art. That one family who picked up their pictures yesterday couldn't stop gushing about the one you got of their kid kissing Santa's cheek. If I'd tried to do that, it probably would have been blurry or my thumb would have been in the picture. You're really talented."

You could feel a blush starting to warm your cheeks.

"Well, maybe we should just agree that we're both skilled in different and equally impressive ways."

"I guess I can agree to that."

Just then, Robin came bursting out of the locker room and told Steve to hurry up and get changed so they could leave, and you were instantly reminded that Steve had a girlfriend, and you couldn't flirt with him. The last thing you wanted to do was come between them and end up in an uncomfortable work situation. You were going to respect boundaries even if it killed you.

But after that moment, you could have sworn that Steve was flirting with you. The two of you shared smiles over particularly adorable children and weird looks when the more spoiled ones appeared. Whenever he ran over to steal a candy cane from Robin, he always brought one over for you as well. He joked around with you in your minimal downtime, and the two of you had made a game out of seeing who could flick the jingle bell on the other's hat the most without getting caught. You would have loved it if you didn't feel so guilty about it.

After a week of feeling like a bad person for enjoying all of the attention Steve was giving you, you couldn’t take it anymore. Steve seemed like the type of guy who would flirt with everyone without realizing it, but that didn’t mean that you should be flirting back.

You waited until the end of your shift before pulling Robin aside in the locker room.

“Can we talk?” you asked.

“Sure. What’s up?”

“I think I owe you an apology.”

“Is this about the candy canes that Steve keeps stealing for the two of you? Because I’m not really mad about that. I just like messing with him.”

“No. I mean, maybe a little bit? I don’t know,” you started. Talking to Robin about this had seemed so much easier when you were psyching yourself up to do it, but now that you were in the moment, you could barely find the words to speak.

“It’s just that I think Steve has been flirting with me, and I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t flirting back, and -”

“So he was flirting with you? I wondered if that’s what he was trying to do, but I swear I can’t tell the difference between his flirting and a train wreck half the time.”

“Yeah, I think he was. And that’s really not fair to you, you know?”

“I mean, yeah, I’d prefer it if he didn’t do it while we’re supposed to be working, but it doesn’t bother me if that’s what he wants to do.”

“So you’re not mad at me?”

“Why would I be mad at you?”

“Well, I’ve tried not to make a habit out of flirting with unavailable guys, and he’s your boyfriend, isn’t he?”

You weren’t sure what you had expected her response to be, but it definitely wasn’t her doubling over in a laugh so powerful that she had to take a seat on one of the locker room benches.

“I’m sorry,” Robin said after she’d finally caught her breath. “I shouldn’t be laughing at you. But you seriously thought Steve and I were together?”

“Yes? I mean, you two are always all over each other. I figured you had to be together with how close you are.”

“He’s my best friend, and neither of us are very good with the whole personal space thing, but that’s all there is to it. We are Platonic with a capital P.”

“So, I’m not actually coming between you guys?”

Robin stood up and put her hands on your shoulders.

“I can’t emphasize this enough, but I would rather make out with my chain-smoking great aunt Bertha than even think about kissing Steve. If you want to flirt with him, feel free to do so. It doesn’t bother me at all.”

With that, Robin picked up her bag and exited the room. Instantly, a wave of relief washed over you. You still felt a little bad about flirting with him when you thought he had a girlfriend, but the guilt was slowly disappearing now that you knew you weren’t a homewrecker.

Once you’d changed back into your regular clothes, you exited the locker room to find Steve and Robin waiting for you. As soon as she saw you, Robin pushed Steve towards you and shouted that she’d be waiting by the car before running off and leaving the two of you alone.

“Well, that’s Robin for you,” Steve said with a laugh.

“She’s really not subtle about anything, is she?” you asked.

“Not even a little bit.” Steve shoved his hands in his front pockets and smiled at you. “So, you really thought that Robin and I were a couple?”

“I can’t believe she told you that.”

“She’s my best friend. Obviously, she wasn’t going to keep that a secret.”

“In my defense, you two fully act like you’re together.”

“Well, we aren’t.” He took another step towards you. “So, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I kind of have a policy about not dating people I work with. Keeps the job less complicated, you know?”

“So, you weren’t flirting with me?” If dying of embarrassment was possible, you were pretty sure that you would have dropped dead on the spot.

“Oh, I was definitely flirting with you. I was just going to wait to ask you out until after our last shift.”

Once again, you could feel your face heating up because of this man. You were going to have to work on that if you planned on surviving the rest of your shifts together.

“So, does this mean you’re still going to steal me candy canes in the middle of our shifts? Because I’ve gotten pretty used to that, and I would hate it if my mistake kept that from happening.”

“I think I can make it happen. I’ve got a hook up with the girl who passes out the candy canes. I’m pretty sure I can convince her to look the other way every once in a while since she’s very obviously into me,” he said with a smirk.

“You’re never going to let me live this down, are you?”

“Never.”

“Well, in that case, I would like to preemptively accept your future offer of a date to dispel any notion that I still think you two are a couple.”

“I’ll start planning something for after the holidays then.” “Can’t wait.”

The end of this job couldn’t come soon enough.

Hello and happy Sunday, friends! I hope it's been a great week for everyone! It's been hot as balls here with humidity to match, so I've been holed up inside perfecting my hermit-ism (I am a legendary hermit, I legit have messages in my inbox asking if I'm still alive.😂)

With that being said, I've been working on a lot in my moments of mental clarity! Not only with stuff here, but I'm getting back into photography as well, so I guess that's exciting 😬. I'm also working on a character profile for Kyla, my OC from HCTS that I'm fairly pumped about.

Okay, below is the stuff I beckoned you for 🤣😘. I guess you could expect at least one of these this coming week, hopefully maybe probably. Per usual, there's more than six sentences and everything is subject to change and probably will because helloooooooooo, it's me. 🤷‍♀️

One bad word below (thanks, Kyla.)

In this part of HCTS, Bastien asks Liam if he'd like him to contact authorities (regarding Constantine's whereabouts), Liam says we don't want the same thing happening as last time. So, I wrote a little one shot to fill in that blank. 😬 It's called An Apple A Day.

After a time, a loud engine could be heard in the distance. As it got closer, Liam realized it was a semi hauling something to them. The truck stopped a ways away and started backing up. He saw what it was that was being carried, but had no time to register it as the trailer started heading directly for one of the statues at the entrance to the garden.

"No no no–" Liam started, but the loud shatter as the marble hit pavement cut him off. The driver got out and apologized profusely, to which Liam could only clench his jaw and nod. It wasn't that the statue was important, the issue was the gathered press still taking pictures of the ordeal; he knew he was going to have to get creative to try and explain this.

Next, here's a peak into the next part of Here Comes The Sun ☀

Kyla handed Constantine his pole and he took it with wide eyes. “You didn’t tell me you were a professional! That was record time!”

Kyla shrugged. “I guess it’s one of the only good things I picked up from being raised in Farmville.” She chuckled.

A bark of laughter escaped Constantine, but he started coughing immediately after. Kyla quickly grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to him with a concerned expression. He took a swig, inhaled a few deep breaths, and finally calmed himself. He sat his drink down, grabbed his pole, and launched his line into the water as if nothing happened at all.

Kyla stood watching his every move, unsure of what to do. The pollen probably isn’t doing any good for his lungs. We should go back. Constantine sat back down in his chair and rested the pole close beside him; he let out a content sigh, closed his eyes, and raised his head to look up at the sky. He looks so fucking relaxed… Trent didn’t come down here, so maybe this is fine. Yeah… this is fine. I’m not going to mess this up for him.

Last, here's a excerpt from Ghosted titled The Apple Banquet.

“No.” Bertrand firmly responded as he pulled himself from Maxwell’s embrace, “You are not to blame here whatsoever Maxwell… In fact, I may be more at fault here than you..." He took a deep breath and quietly said, "I… I'm afraid I may need to come clean about something…"

Maxwell immediately moved and stood next to Liam with a furrowed brow. Liam felt his heart rate increase and stepped forward instantly. "What do you mean?"

"I… I worry you may find out anyway during your investigation, and I feel after my other atrocious actions I may as well come clean and take my punishment."

Bertrand was suddenly yanked up from his seat by Liam's strong hands. Liam held Bertrand by the collar of his sweater and pulled his face to eye level, nearly lifting him off his feet. "What did you do?"

-------------------------------------------------------

I don't know who I'm supposed to tag, so everyone is getting it lololol. However, please consider this your open invitation to share anything you may be working on, and please make sure to tag me in return if you do! (No pressure, but FEEL ALL THE PRESSURE 🙃)

i do my best to tag triggers on *my own* posts with the 'tw (trigger)' format (or 'cw (trigger)' on occasion) but there will be things we forget to tag right away and go back to tw later, there are times i am posting while intoxicated and won't think about tagging until later, or even things we just miss entirely. we pretty consistently post about things typically considered 'triggering' , so please keep that in mind if you decide to follow.

hiiiiii!! to probably neither of our surprise now, i have some questions for specter!!

🟡 Yellow- What is something your OC wants but knows they can never have? How does it feel to never get this specific desire?

🔮 Crystal Ball- What kind of future does your OC want to have? What would they do to make it real?

i can't wait to hear the answers 💚💚💚

My beloved Art Boy, oh these are excellent for him thank you!!

🟡 Specter wants to be recognized as an artist before a soldier. He wants someone to say "That's Speceter, the artist!" and not "Isn't that a clone trooper?" It eats him up so bad inside. He's thought about so many different ways to change his appearance, but he'd never do any of them because it would disconnect him from his brothers, which hurts more than knowing he'll always be a clone first.

🔮 Specter wants to be an art teacher and professional artist so bad. Photography, painting, poetry, sculpture, he wants to show kids how to create, he needs it. He got a taste of that with Athena, and he needs more. But the galaxy doesn't need an Art teacher right now, it needs a good soldier who doesn't always follow orders. So he'll clean up the galaxy however he can, and keep making art until he can teach it widespread.

Tag, you're it! (Taglist under the cut)

decided to make an overview post that's perhaps more helpful than my blog description, since i now spend half my waking hours on here. btw if @laurd11 follows you, that's me! "about" section below ↓↓↓

im a physics/math/computing nerd who tries never to leave a stone unturned online as well as in the big ole outernet. ive been on and off tumblr since about 2012, and ive been in a load of fandoms since the (dark) days of superwholock and 1d. im a chronic fanfic reader and tumblr poll enjoyer, as well as an american (boo) and very very lapsed catholic (this seems to come up a bunch? don't tell my family ;) )

rough breakdown of posts: ~50% things that make me laugh, ~10% pacific rim and cleanwhiteroom-related stuff, ~20% photography and other visual art, ~10% me whining about life, and ~10% other fandom nonsense (x files, house, ofmd, bbc ghosts . . . these change all the time)

general interests: science fiction, space, oceanography and marine creatures, climate science and clean energy, exploring and photographing wild places, extra extra indie music, adventure sports, philosophy

i try to tag things and fail often. no, i dont have any secret or non-secret artistic talents.

good omens tv side blog exists for those who are interested.

message me if you ever ever need/want a cute dog picture :)

#thank the laurd

Pretty certain I was tagged by someone to do a wip whenever. Whatever the case have a unique wip whenever featuring the start of my original novel Little Bird.

No pressure tags @darialovesstuff @eclecticwildflowers @poisonedtruth @scentedcandleibex @shegetsburned @sinclxirx @unbindingkerberos @children-of-epiales and whoever else wants to post a wip whenever 🖤

Lily (mid 30s), a mute submissive, leaves her abusive Dom and is taken in by an older photographer named Sam (early 50s). The two eventually become Dom and sub and fall in love while Lily learns to metaphorically and figuratively find her voice again.

It was late that night when Sam first saw her walking alongside the road. It had rained most of the day and had only just stopped. Light from the streetlights reflected off the road's slick surface. Keenly aware of the dangers of wet roads, he had been driving slower than usual. Any other night he might not have noticed her, but that night he did.

She walked slowly, almost aimlessly as she carried what looked like a trash bag. Her coat looked soaked as if she had been walking in the downpour earlier. Sam stared at her a moment deciding whether or not to stop and see if she needed help. His penchant for helping others got the better of him so he slowed down, pulling over near her.

She immediately stopped, turning her head to look at his vehicle. As Sam rolled down the passenger side window she turned towards him, taking a few steps back. “Do you need help?” he asked loudly, certain he had seen her somewhere before. She stared at him silently, an almost scared look on her face. A feeling of concern crossed his mind. “I can give you a lift.” Again she remained silent. When raindrops began falling again she looked up briefly before reluctantly nodding.

Sam watched as she opened the door and climbed in the vehicle. After placing the trash bag on the floor between her legs she closed the door. Settling into her seat she put on the seat belt. Her movements were hesitant and almost scared. When she looked up at him and gave him her best reassuring smile, he could see right through it. He also remembered where he had seen her before.

As a professional photographer Sam spent a good amount of time going to various events and occasions. Weddings, parties, fancy soirees for the rich, he had photographed his fair share of everything. His specialty however lied with the taboo. BDSM and fetish events, bondage and kink photography, those were his mainstay. Despite this he had not participated in the lifestyle himself in years.

Recently he had attended an event on shibari, a Japanese style of bondage. When he had finished his work, he attempted to mingle. His few close friends had been pushing him to be more social. Sam did his best, though his best usually ended with him sitting at a table or the bar by himself.

That night as he nursed his drink at a table in the corner he couldn’t help but notice her as she leaned against a nearby wall. Just like his table it was out of sight from the crowds offering a small amount of privacy. Her makeup was ruined from tears and her hiccupped breathing suggested she had been crying. She wiped away some of the tears as she attempted to collect herself. Before she could, he came over.

Lucas Mason was a born rich snob with the personality of a sewer rat. He had a reputation for being borderline abusive with his submissives. Yet no matter how much proof there was of this or any of his other wrong doings, he always ended up clean. So when he stormed over and grabbed her by the hair, Sam remained a silent witness.

Lucas was angry about something she had done. He pulled on her hair hard enough that Sam could see discomfort in her face and fear in her eyes. Yet the whole time she remained silent, didn’t make a sound. Sam wouldn’t have thought twice about the incident but her silence stuck with him.

Now as Sam began to continue driving he noticed that same silence. “Where are you headed?” he asked knowing she probably wouldn’t respond. Glancing at her he saw her shrug weakly. After a pause he asked, “You don’t talk do you?” She shook her head. He nodded and the car went silent again for some time.

When they came to a stop sign he looked at her and asked, “Do you have a place to stay?” She avoided eye contact as she shook her head. Sam looked forward again, watching the raindrops as they slid down the windshield. As the windshield wiper wiped them away he said, “I guess you can stay with me for tonight. We’ll figure out the rest tomorrow. You look like you need rest.” He looked at her and waited as she stared at him. When she finally nodded he continued driving home.

Home was an apartment in a more gentrified part of the city. Two bedrooms, one and a half baths, it was more than enough for Sam. It was on an upper floor and offered a reasonable amount of privacy from neighbors. As they pulled into the buildings parking lot he couldn’t help but sigh with relief. His passenger simply looked out the window at her surroundings.

They remained silent as they headed up to his apartment. Once inside he watched his guest as she looked around main room. As her gaze moved towards the kitchen Sam asked, “You want a cup of tea?” She looked at him and nodded. Walking into the kitchen he noticed her body language was still stiff and untrusting.

While he put the kettle on she sat down at the small table, placing her damp trash bag on the floor next to her. Sam watched her for a moment before leaving the room for a moment. He came back with a notepad and pen. Sitting down across from her, he placed them on the table and slid them across to her. “I thought this might help.” She stared at the pen silently. “Can I ask you your name?” She glanced up at him before hesitantly picking up the pen and writing on the notepad. When she finished she turned it around for him to read.

Lily

“I’m Sam.” She pulled the notepad back towards her. “You indicated you didn’t have a place to stay. Is there anyone I can contact for you? Friends, family?” Lily shook her head. “You’re alone.” She nodded. Quietly he said, “You ran away from him.” Her body stiffened and she looked ready to run for the door. Then the kettle began to whistle.

Lily looked towards it as Sam stood and walked over to the stove. As he began making two cups of tea he turned to look at her. “Milk and sugar?” She nodded. When he finished he returned to the table. Lily seemed to shrink away from him when he set her cup down in front of her.

When he returned to his seat across from her he said, “I won’t hurt you.” She watched him a moment before looking down at her cup. “I know he’s hurt you,” he added quietly. Her eyes snapped up at him. “I saw.” Again she looked away. “I won’t make you go back.” She picked up the pen and wrote on the notepad.

Thank you

Sam nodded before picking up his cup and taking a sip. Lily glanced down at her cup again before picking it up and taking a sip. As she did her eyes closed and a peaceful look briefly crossed her face. For a moment he thought he saw the slightest hint of a smile play on her lips. “You like the tea?” Her eyes opened as she looked at him and nodded.

#this would be me if i was ever on the big screen at a sporting event

My Top Posts in 2022:

Finally feeling like I’m coming up for air after a, frankly, traumatic couple of months. Bought a house at the end of October (YIKES!!!) and then had to spend the settlement period stressing that we would regret it and that the house would be horrible and that none of our stuff would fit in it. Struggled to source a bunch of tradies to do some essential pre-moving in work (painting, floors, electrical) and then when we did book some in, worried that they would all get c*vid right before they had to start work and it would throw out our insanely packed schedule. Spent all of January worrying that *we* might get c*vid and had to basically do a risk assessment before making any sort of social plans. Had to deal with the World’s Worst Property Manager™ when moving out of our rental and trying to work around open for inspections and the prospect of not getting our bond back for whatever stupid fucking reasons property managers make up and also some real reasons (didn’t get the carpets steam cleaned!! left a broken key in a lock in the back door!!!). Decided to get a removalist to do the big stuff and do the small stuff ourselves in the middle of the shittiest humid heatwave Melbourne had had in decades. The bank took the money out of my account twice at settlement leaving me with -$50k and didn’t even really think it was a big deal?!? The cleaner that we booked through Airtasker to clean the house before we moved in did the worst job I’ve ever seen and we had to re-clean the entire house and we only paid her because we needed her to leave the house and never see her again. Spent SO MUCH MONEY in general I don’t know if my inner anti-capitalist will ever recover. Also had to change jobs in the middle of all of this against my will - my old role was a 12 month contract but I loved it and my team so much and didn’t want to leave and start something new.

On the plus side, the internet got connected without a single hassle (WHAT). We bought a dishwasher and it somehow fit the random space in the kitchen cabinetry perfectly. Actually, *all* of our stuff fit perfectly, even the messy awful things like CDs and DVDs are now neatly tucked away. The backyard has an original Hills Hoist and I never thought I could derive so much pleasure from watching the clothes spin gently around in the sun. Got all of our bond back in the end! Sarah and I barely had a cross word with each other despite feeling hot, dirty and stressed 24/7 for about 4 weeks and also having to assemble a number of pieces of flatpack furniture. Discovered after 8 years of owning my washing machine that it doesn’t need a special hose to connect to the hot tap and the machine heats the water itself so we can wash on a hot cycle! Rafa won the AO (still not over that)!!!! Found out that the reason the bathroom smelled so damp was because of a blocked sewer pipe that the greywater couldn’t go down so it was just running under the house (not good) but it only cost $300 for a plumber to fix and now the bathroom doesn’t smell!! Even the scary bits of the house that I thought I’d never be brave enough to go into (the roof storage space, the filthy outdoor garage) are now clean and accessible and useable. I’m feeling calm more often than not at the moment, for the first time in a loooooong time.

Long story short, hi!

Went into hospital yesterday for a laparoscopy to treat my endometriosis, which has been getting progressively worse with each passing year, and not to brag or anything, but the surgeon said the endo was “EVERYWHERE” when he came to talk to me afterwards 💁🏼‍♀️

a weird thing happened to be after beating ara fell. like i enjoyed it so much that i frantically looked for the next game to play that feels just like it which is kinda ridiculous and impossible. what even happened is it because it was the first kinda long story game i’d finished after a while

like i really gotta say it. project diva x is a good game. it’s a fun game to play. obviously it did a lot of things that did not work but that’s only half of the things.

i fully understand why so many people would dislike it and (correctly) predict it to be the end of the project diva series especially considering how you had 5 whole games to base your expectations on and then have none of your expectations met BUT. there’s enough good in this game that i strongly believe that, had the stars aligned a little different for a project diva x2nd to exist with all the glo up to the format like 2nd and f2nd did, we would have so much more good than whatever is going on now with all the future tone ports being the only meat on the bone for the series

My #1 post of 2022

sometimes i think about the statement “penny’s character had nothing but how she’d make a good wife“ and it’s like. is she not the child of an alcoholic who could get verbally abusive (and who was basically unemployed at the beginning) and as a result is confined to cleaning after her mother in their trailer? does she not literally say she likes books because they provide escapism, most likely that reading is the only hobby she could afford to have (because it’s somewhat connected to her job as a tutor)? is her confession cutscene not a huge development and glance into her inner world as it feels so daring compared to her restrictive life? and does she not literally say she feels bad that her mom now lives alone but is adamant that pam needs to clean up her own act? like i joke that i’m the token liker of boring girls but i don’t think penny is that uninteresting!!

Image descriptions: many many tags:

#as a jeweler: DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE #if thats actual garnet. why would you do that to it #if it isnt: ill kill you for lying #but from the photos alone: that isnt silver

#thats some mystery metal shit that you dont want touching your skin because why does it look like its rusting

#when silver us dirty even from soldering it doesnt ever look luke that

#AND ANOTHER THING! that prong setting? not even fully closed half those prongs are barely touching that stone that shits gonna be wiggling-

#and wobling scratching up that stone and being a nusiance to keep clean PLUS its gonna get caught on everything

#ALSO from the look of the stones in all of them #theyve been touched woth heat and are damaged. dont buy damaged stones theyre gonna break eventually

#but anyway those almost def arwnt garnet. from the look of the other settings id say a shitty quality cubic zirc because those are - #settings you can only do by casting (or gluing them in like costume jewelery)

#whoch makes me wonder what castong house would stoop That

Low

#all the canadian ones wont even take ur order without proof of professional trainin

#okay im done i gotta go to work

#sorry laz im back #THE VISIBLE SOLDERI G GOD

#i would have been ripped to shreds o the solder job alone if i tried to present that as even a first attempt at a prong setting

#WHY DIDNT THEY CLEAN THE FUCKING SOLDER BLOBS

#its kne thing if ur setting is fucked but to be visibly VISIBLY a shitty rush job with no clean up work #come ON PEOPLE

#this os all im going to think about for the next 7 hours of my shift i

‹now it

#its. so poorly made

#like they went throigh the effort of goving a fairly decent effort in the photography. AS IF THE WOULD HELP THE SLAPPED TOGETHER BULLSHIT

#im just #im astounded

#if this was practice work i wouldnt bat an eye

#BUT THATS THE FUCKING FINISHED PRODUCT #THATS WHAT THEYRE SELLING

#i would be too ashamed of the piss poor craftsmanship to even consider selli g that with my name attatched #im just. im just. why are they so dirty

#did you not even try to clean them nameless etsy seller????

#you can see the spots where they filed and sanded. but they didnt bother to clean anything. why is it so crusty

#they could be just ok. but there is ZERO finishing work done #like they skipped the most intensive part of the process #you cant just skip finishing work man

#like even if you dont polish them you dont have to polish them #but you need to clean. you need to tske off the solder blobs and you need to clean whatever scum is stuck to your metal

#laz tell me one thing what kind of metal are they advertising this as i need to know

#prev. the metal on all listings is Sterling Silver

#STERLING????? I THINK THE FUCK NOT

#first off. thats too dark to be sterling. SECOND. STERLING AT NO POINT STARTS TO LOOK LIKE THAT NO MATTER HOW DIRTY #it looks also like those have never NEVER seen a pickle pot let alone some soap and water

#sterling at no point becomes slightly yellow

#not even nickle silver (a common alloy people try to pass off as sterling) looks like that after soldering and nickle silver looks gnarly-#before you pickle it and do your finishing on it. like thats not even nickle??? unnamed etsy seller i have questions

#like. are they intentionally and willfully decieving people? or were they lied to by a supplier and dont have the training to know that??

#Also. the second to last ring. baby girl why is the metal itsself cracked. who hurt you

End of tags

Next image is a stick figure holding a box of popcorn with a speech bubble saying “damn”.

End descriptions.

I believe all these tags are from the same person but who isn’t shown so I’m not 100% sure.

Note: typos in the tags are from the photos I didn’t feel like fixing them

kinda obsessed with these, clearly beginner, rings on Etsy being marketed as garnet when i'd bet money that they are glass

the metal work is. certainly better than what i've ever made, so i don't want to speak to harshly. but uh. um.

Latest Trends: Reviews keep you updated on the latest tech trends and innovations.

What Makes a Good Gadget Review?

When I look for gadget reviews, I want to know several key points:

Performance: How well does the gadget work?

Usability: Is it easy to use?

FAQs About Gadgets

What Should I Look for in a Gadget Review?

Look for honest opinions on performance, usability, design, value, and customer support. Reviews should be balanced, highlighting both pros and cons.

How Do I Know If a Gadget Is Worth the Price?

Consider its features, performance, and how it compares to similar products. Look at user reviews to see if others believe it’s worth the investment.

Are Reviews on YouTube Trustworthy?

YouTube can be a great source of information, but ensure you watch reviews from credible sources. Look for channels with a history of honest reviews and a good following.

My Personal Experience with Gadgets

Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of gadgets. I remember getting my first smartphone—it changed everything. I could take photos, browse the internet, and stay connected on the go. Now, I can’t imagine life without my smartphone.

When I bought my first set of wireless earbuds, I felt like I’d entered a new world. The convenience of listening to music or taking calls without tangled wires was a game-changer.

However, not every purchase has been a win. I once bought a smartwatch that promised to track my fitness but fell short on battery life. It’s experiences like these that remind me to always read reviews before buying.

How to Write Your Own Gadget Reviews

If you're keen to share your insights, here’s a simple guide to writing your own gadget reviews:

Start with an Introduction: Explain what the gadget is and its main features.

Provide a Personal Touch: Share your experience and what you liked or disliked.

Highlight Key Features: Break down the gadget's specifications and functionalities.

Discuss Pros and Cons: Be honest about the strengths and weaknesses.

Conclude with Recommendations: Would you recommend this gadget? Who is it best for?

Conclusion: Stay Informed and Make Smart Choices

Navigating the world of gadgets can be overwhelming, but with the right information, you can make smart choices. Remember to check out gadget reviews before your next purchase. Keep up with latest smartphone reviews and stay updated on cool gadgets that can enhance your daily life. Don’t forget to explore the latest technology news in India to stay ahead of the curve.

Technology is constantly evolving. By staying informed, you can make choices that suit your needs and lifestyle. Happy gadget hunting!
