anon asked : Meta + Life after Waystar Royco

to put it simply, there isn't a life for gerri outside of waystar royco. there's the life she imagines for herself, that she demands hundreds of millions of dollars for her firing, for. the life she'd planned, had every intention of getting to with her mouth stuffed with gold. but it's a fantasy, it doesn't exist. the plan was corporate legal consulting, a firm of her own that specializes corporate matters and mergers between companies, the exchange of assets, her position at waystar turned independent, something that she isn't so involved with, but retirement isn't an option for gerri. stagnation isn't in her nature, it doesn't work for her.

maybe she takes some of the waystar legal team with her in her departure, some who are fired during the corporate culling matsson planned, some that leave for personal reasons. she never expected karl or frank to join her, and wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. ( she doesn't send them offers, doesn't accept them into the fold. )

in the days following her firing, she acquires reputation management, she sends various correspondences to karolina and others in the waystar legal team regarding her contract and termination as well as how it should be handled. gerri is in control of the narrative that is going to play. she is all but literally writing her own termination paperwork.

then there is the reality. tom offering her a position she'd already had, a job that had been secured since she found her name missing from the kill list. a sizable pay increase, as well as the payout she'd already requested for her continued silence regarding roman and other waystar bodies she'd assisted in burying. ( roman while no longer a face for waystar, is still family, after all. and his actions would reflect tom in a glaringly negative light. )

she is good at her job, she isn't afraid of the dark, and while her loyalties only extend as far as her interests, it is not hard to align her interests with theirs. money talks, sure. power has far more sway, and this is a deal she'd been in on since it's conception. she has her own demands, the legal team stays, she puts them on her lifeboat, goes over and revises her contract with various added stipulations that benefit her, and give her more clearance perhaps, more independence within the firm, but at the end of the day gerri is so inherently tied to waystar that she can't escape it.

(No Obligation Whatsoever but if you *want* to give me a birthday present my kofi is in the pinned post or you could always draw a kirby :> after all I started drawing him every day in the first place just cuz I think low key simple kirby drawings are fun and there should be more of them!)

What happens when your coworker kills your other coworker but both of you are in a relationship (kind of) with the same ethereal woman who had an admiration for said dead coworker.

not a good day homies 😔

so uh. i got let go. from my job. lol

not because i did anything‚ my manager just said she thought the hospital was too big for me to keep up with and i was doing great but just not meeting expectations.

i’m a little frustrated because i really loved that place and thought i was doing well‚ and they only brought these concerns up to me last week‚ which gave me like two or three working days to try and improve with their feedback.

however the manager made it clear that its not my fault‚ it just wasn’t a good fit for my current level of experience‚ and she’s going to send my info to other clinics in the area‚ one of which i applied for today with the same position i just had‚ so i’m hopeful‚ but sad.

so yeah. even tho i know the manager has my back and she said if i need help or advice or a reccomendation or anything she’s totally up for it‚ its still stressful to essentially get fired‚ and i cried a lot after i left. and then ate a lot of potatoes.

i’m not sure how long it will take to get a new job‚ so i’m probably going to apply for unemployment benefits in the meantime‚ and i’ll just keep volunteering at the shelter.

i just feel really tired and not good in my tummy‚ and i’m mostly sad that i won’t see my boy jonny the clinic cat anymore‚ and i’m anxious about telling my parents what happened‚ even thoigh i know they’ll still have my back‚ too.

anyways. back to job hunting i guess. yippee.

Oh yeah, btw, I did definitely get the one temporary part-time job. It's not much, but it's something.

And the timeline for the other thing got a bit more urgent, so I'm gonna call about that later today or tomorrow to see if me doing part time around the other gig is something workable. (Especially since the first one's only until the end of the school year)

[ant-diary]

I think I have maybe decided to tell someone I no longer want to be friends with them, but I'm wondering if I should give it a few more days before I commit to it

[knight-engale]

it is very very hard to not feel like a failure right now. maybe i am and i've been tricking everyone into thinking i'm not.

[bloodwards]

my date cancelled on me because he "found a girlfriend" and the way he went from being single to being exclusive with someone in like 4 days is making me giggle. same guy also apparently made a hand drawn card for the two month "anniversary" with one of his ex gfs and the card was like "I love you so so much dear [name]" so uh. there's that 😅

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

alright I have to say it--s3e3 of Miss Scarlet and the Duke was one of my favourite episodes so far. bringing in another character to play off Eliza and fill the position William would usually have in the narrative was really fun, because instead of once again sticking us in the endless cycle of their snark and tension, we actually got to see Eliza learning more about a new person and reacting accordingly. and also, I find Mr. Nash a genuinely fun character to watch, and I love the development of his... slightly-antagonistic-yet-hopeful semi-partnership semi-competition with Eliza?? I'm intrigued by his backstory and motivations now, too, and how they tie into why he's so captivated by Eliza. he sees something of a mirror in her, I think, but at the same time, she pushes him towards growth--both out of competition, to be better than her, and out of motivation, because she expects him to be better than he is and that makes him want to change.

anyway! I expected to be a bit disappointed at the absence of the Duke, but I actually enjoyed this chance for an entirely different dynamic. and I think a lot more character development for everyone can happen with those two separated, too. especially at this specific point in the series. (if I'm being fully honest, part of me wishes there would be more episodes with them separated, so they can have a chance to truly grow on their own. I think that would have a lot more benefit for them as individuals and on their relationship together than constantly being around one another and doing the equivalent of raking their nails across each other's freshly-scabbed-over wounds every. single. day. does)

another day more bullshit

Was thinking about my Bl//ack Bu//tler S/I again and realised that since she’s a prequel to the main series, she technically can have a mission where she sees “Ci//el” before the tragedy and when she’s later reincarnated to be a reaper, she sees him again and is like “haiii!”
