currently dealing with HR at my company because for some reason I did not get paid this week??? like at all??? my pay slip says $0 and according to my time entry from both my end AND HR's end, I have time in and my direct deposit info is all good. so yeah this is fun.

like I can't imagine this happening to someone who actually has like kids and a mortgage. I'm luckily just a 23 year old who lives with their parents and trying to pay off their student loans but like what the fuck.

#pixel talks #this is in no way asking anyone to send me money or anything btw #im good just baffled is all

You doing ok?

hi

#i'm alive. simply being chewed upon by multiple things #work is more stressful than i'd like it to be. for instance i'm hoping that i submitted my time off notification for tomorrow correctly #because otherwise it might read as a no call no show and i would . like to continue having a job #now to be fair. i do have it on the system that i requested it at the beginning of the month and i emailed my supervisor about it last week #so even if i didn't submit it correctly i'm likely in the clear #but nonetheless. i also got a firm talking-to the other day and now i am on ✨thin ice✨ for dicking around too much #because they track ur idle time at my work (computer) and mine was Quite High so my supervisor was like man what the hell is this #but even though she was kind of baffled at me spending so much time dicking around #she couldn't even really be all that mad in the end because i'm still doing good numbers and have made no (zero) mistakes #so she was just like. it's kind of impressive that your numbers look this good when you literally have 50% idle time #so she goes imagine what you could do if you weren't wasting so much time #and yeah i can whip out some Really Good Numbrers when i put the effort in.#so the problem is not my numbers it's just that i'm not spending long enough doing my tasks for the day #but i don't want to drag out those tasks intentionally so i've just been upping my own standards/goals #as much as i hate giving any more of my brain power than is necessary to giant corporations #it's still easy to feel smug after you get Talked To and then immediately turn around and show off #like yeah i coulda been doing this good the whole time. literally pulling up by 20 points. i just didn't want to.#trying to keep everyone's expectations low but accidentally toed the line of um. not working enough to keep my job #...anyway. EAS national weather system issued a . hi #i haven't forgotten about all of you i'm just having trouble tracking all my shit that i got going on ✨ yaaaaaaay #im gonna post things on AO3 soon. i promise. my weakness is that i get sidetracked trying to unwind from work #...i know i said 'soon' last time. but this time for real #asks #not sexy #anonymous

And then his husband enters his life and is like "do you have toe beans as a dragon? is that a thing? do reptiles have toe beans?" and Sascha looks at him like "I do not know the meaning of those words in that order..."

edit: ...I forgot my own OCs scar (now included)

#my characters #mr the demon lord sir i love you #his name is sascha and he is very much a pacifist bc he wants the best for his demons #and they all call him boss #instead of like. lord or anything high and mighty its just super casual YEAH BOSS and they all like him #and they all appreciate what hes doing for them and what he has done and they also are like ohhhh #human husband guy is a funny lil dude we like him and he said he wants to adopt us #thats our mom now boss and sascha is just so baffled at how loving a human can be towards demons and he loves his husband #SO SO SO SO MUCH YOU GUYS HE LOVES HIS HUSBAND A LOT #and while he is very non violent he will transform into his large dragon form to intimidate anyone who wants to harm him or another demon #and and he does have toe beans and reynold says thats adorable and he laughs while prodding at them and sascha #has never loved anyone as much as he loves reynold who claims its mutual and absolutely not stockholm syndrome #(sascha does not know what that means but he thinks its good that its mutual)#so anyway i have to get some fucking sleep bc ive humiliated myself in TWO SEPARATE DMs while working on this #by having brain too eepy to function #its bad you guys..... im so tired

It's become a common sentiment in the HC community that they "don't care about big builds but want interactions between the hermits". While I understand that in the sense that they don't want the hermits to burn out building megabases for megabases sake I think that that sentiment glosses over a core part of what makes hermitcraft *hermitcraft* and the creativity and monumental *effort* they all bring into the server. Like I personally don't understand being bored by the building/redstoning/project aspect of HC, getting to see other peoples creative processes and seeing projects come into fruition is a huge part of the hermitcraft appeal.

#hermitcraft #hermitcraft liveblogging #Is it obvious im a joe hills fan? lmao #But how can you be bored by building just watch cubfan and be baffled by how his brain works #Lots of hermits also have a good balance of goofing off and serious getting stuff done.....(cub again. Perfect man)#Anyway all this to say. Community? Insane projects? Why not both

Guys help I think I’ve been transported to a parallel universe. The ponytail is on the wrong color hair.

Archie is blond now.

This is surreal.

#I feel like I’m in the twilight zone or something #I wonder if the kid in pinstripes is a good counterpart to jughead or not #I’ve only read this one wilbur comic #and it’s SO WEIRD #everything is so familiar yet so different #wilbur even dresses exactly like archie. you can’t call *that* part a coincidence.#archie comics #wilbur #I don’t know all these people’s names and I’m not going to try #mirror world archie #mirror world betty #mirror world veronica #some kid in a pinstripe jacket #mirror world grundy #mirror world weatherbee #I could see this whole plot happening with archie and his friends #yet they used this world instead #did this world come first? and just never became as popular? if not then why does it exist?#(not that I’m complaining. im just curious and baffled.)

#oh lads. lads. lads. lads. im being sucked back into the world of academia #i dont even kno what happened. a week ago i was crying bc i was like: this is impossible. i simply cannot do this.#and then i went into the lab sunday and miraculously i was able to easily read some papers. like i dont kno how to discribe how baffling it #was. like reading papers is like pulling teeth and this was somehow easy. i think maybe it was bc i let myself get distracted and wander #thru it. and then after that i got so much done this week and i was tired but having fun. and like the thing is: i fucking love evolution #it's like puzzling out the code for life in both a metaphical and literal sense. its fucking incredible. and my project is also very #interesting. if a bit intimidating in its scope. ya kno. just in the way photosynthesis is generally intimidating #but i think i have a strain thats lost chlf which is really interesting and my advisor said we might have the money to try some crispr for #my cyano children. hypothetically. maybe. and i get to do some poking around in genomes. theres so so much to love there #how could i possibly want to do anything else? and yet. and yet. here at the end of the week im so wrung out and i kno i just have to start #again on sunday and i kno im gonna have to step it up in terms of reading if i want to make it through a committee meeting and proposal #defense. not to even mention a comprehensive exam. and what do i get at the end of all this? a lifetime of academia draining my life away.#bc what i do is so academic. so whats the point? its just so frustrating.#and on top of that ive got all this data from my old lab that i kno i have to work on. and i will. i will. but with what time?#anyway the point is. i can see a path forward now where i stay here and decide the pain will be worth it despite not knowing where im going #after that. im just so tried #but right now it feels like im gonna stay until someone kicks me out #but that doesnt exactly make me feel happy. ugh. but if i stay i want to get my old pi to come here and give a seminar. ill warn her how #intimidating the department is tho. we've had 2 talks in the last 2 weeks that were... not good. particularly the one this week #like she couldnt answer a single question they thru at her and didnt seem to kno her data sets. it was hard to watch. anyway. i just want #to see my academic mother again. send me back to the desert! let me rot in a field full of sage #but send me back to the hills of an older mountain range. where i can climb sandstone cliffs and lay in carpets of moss. except i wouldnt do #that bc of all the ticks and threat of lyme disease...#anyway. im still tired. still sad. and there doesnt seem to b a way out #unrelated

I would love to listen to your podcast (if you wanna have one) about anything, but something about languages intrigues me. Please, tell me more : )

had to think for a second about what this was about I'm guessing it's my Nopony In This Country Is Pronouncing Przewalski Correctly and now listen..... I have no more to tell you because the like. Concept of languages and within that phonology (the study of the patterns of sounds in a language and across languages) is so wide you wouldn't have enough of a life to say everything about it. Unless you got one thing in mind. But I'm Flattered. Idk if I'd be much of a podcast guy I love visual stimuli. shan't lie I've had for months the idea to do a. Franco-Cantabrian Archeological iceberg... with shit like....... Fontainebleau "water breaking" carving... the Réseau Clastres Only Know Depiction Of [Animal]..... stuff of the sort. but oh well. FLATTERED.... maybe one day. Podcast ideas anyone.

#every few months someone in the patho fandom whos been there a while seems to realize the KH of Khatange or Khodo Khara or even Burakh is #not pronounced K but instead HH and idk if thats because i had the game in russian audio or because i spent hours on the different #Steppe Language pages but im always surprised this is new to some people. like well yeah its the x letter. mostly i dont understand like #not checking the pronounciation if youre unsure. the russian x is not hard to find audio from. its a little like youtubers who go “im not #even gonna try to pronounce this one XD''. but also im glad more people get hashtag aware because i think phonology is such a fantastic #thing to be interested in so. yayyyy.#it just kinda sometimes feels like. A great sense of incuriosity and lack of drive to learn. possibly from fear at a new foreign language.#but above all I'm truly glad more people are hashtag realizing hashtag finding it because truly with the internet pronounciation info #has never been so easy to find. even in english resources. godspeed you!!!!Language learner. Etc.#the wiki has every name (of characters + of places) and every steppe word written in both latin & cyrillic letters by the way that way you #can find what the cyrillic letter of a sound youre unsure of looks like and look it up :D it helped me a lot when i had to find more words #for ATA. good times #tldr it just makes sense To Me when confronted to a phoneme/sound youre unsure the pronounciation of to like. immediately look it up.#so im kinda baffled that ppl may go months being unsure. its not like cyrillic is like. hard to parse its as straightforward as other stuff #ring ring (answers)#anonymous #meiri podcast guy when after all. look at all that yapping

Since transitioning socially and aquiring a 90% male friend group I really gotta wonder what the fuck kind of men are everyone else on this website hanging out with to view them as all assholes or predators

#this isnt me trying to discredit anybody eho has experienced bad things at the hands of men #but like #almost all the violence and abuse and homophobia and transphobia ive experienced came from women #and personal experience has shown me that most men are really cool human beings #so im just baffled by the “men bad women good” rhetoric this website clings to #like i cant be hanging out with the only good men and the only bad women out there that would make no sense even mathematically #also my point is not that women are all bad/men are all good bc obviously thats also dumb as hell #rathet that all humans are capable of treating others well or poorly and that it feels odd to me to erase that nuance

ngl every day since season 2 of arcane ended i've erred more and more on the side of "hm that wasn't very good was it"

#favourite show in the world ever so i say this because i wanted it to be good so bad #but man im kinda disappointed #three years of waiting and this was the result #i still really liked it and thought it was beautiful visually #but ooohg. i dont think i can watch season 2 the same way i can watch season 1 #i can watch season 1 all the way through back to back and feel just as excited every time #season 2... i'd have to pick and choose certain episodes/scenes and ignore certain aspects of the writing because of how baffling they were #i still wanna draw art of it at some point though #some of the designs are fun and theres definitely moments worth making art for #rambles

never stops being funny to me how everyone at the gym assumes im FAR more competent than I actually am without question. went to a roped sesh w one of my clubs bc they asked for novices to come along so the ppl training for the climbing qualification could get some hours in teaching ppl the basics & I wanted to learn. two climbing friends ask me if I've memorised the handbook for the assessment yet and are genuinely surprised when I tell them I'm not on the course. the instructor running the qual course (again, who I'm friends with) goes around and points out who's on the course and who's here as a novice to the assessor who had just dropped by, gets to me and goes oh yeah you're on the course too right? nope. then he goes ah but still they're a competent climber. nope again. pure novice. literally here bc I don't even know how to tie in and belay mate, u know that bc you've rope climbed with me before and had to fill out a supervision form bc im not signed off!! theres not even that many ppl DOING the course i dont know why he associates me with it. the first time I rocked up at one of the rope sessions the same guy (who, btw, has a hyperfixation on climbing safety & gear and is a fucking stickler for it & calls literally everyone else out abt it!!) asked if I could lead belay him - IM NOT QUALIFIED. TO LEAD CLIMB LET ALONE LEAD BELAY!!!!! then today they move on to gear and everyone is surprised I don't have my own belay device or harness. IM NOT SIGNED OFF. TO BELAY. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW. THATS WHY IM HERE. I EXCLUSIVELY BOULDER. YOUVE NEVER SEEN ME DO ANYTHING ELSE. WHY WOULD I OWN ANY ROPED GEAR???? also bear in mind I'm a solid 10-15 years younger than the instructor & most ppl doing the course like where the hell are u getting this impression from guys 😭😭

#i know these ppl thru bouldering at the same gym & im a solid climber but i have no formal training whatsoever #ive never sent a v5 (difficulty level) yet and EVERYONE IS SURPRISED WHEN I SAY THAT. ive been bouldering w u guys for MONTHS #if i could climb v5 you wouldve SEEN ME DO IT !! im not holding back !!#ppl gush abt my technique like girl let me state again i have zero training no knowledge and am intermediate at best. youre all insane #ppl outside of the gym rly assume im a 14 year old boy while ppl at the gym assume im in my mid 30s and a grizzled climbing expert.#zero middle ground. maybe its just bc im butch and generally come across very confident & self assured in person....who fucking knows #im not a bad climber and i think ive naturally picked up some technique bc good technique makes climbing smoother n easier but pls...#had to put my birth year on the form for someone to supervise me today and she was like oh my god youre a babe. i thought u were my age #GIRL YOU JUST TOLD ME U PUT A MORTAGE ON A HOUSE DOWN TODAY. WE ARE IN CONPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE STAGES #not mad or anything i think its rly funny just so baffling ajdkfjfk #ANYWAY I NEED TO SLEEP IM SO EXHAUSTED GOODNIGHT LOVE U ALL BYE BYE BYE #.diaries

Deacon willing to help people but doesn't recognize people so he doesn't remember what he did for who. So he just agrees and is like cool don't mention it then they mention it and he's like uhhhhhh.

However, that's other humans. He can identify the deities much easier because they have a unique glow. Like can actively tell Ymber "oh Lady Fulj just entered the city" and Ymber is like how the heck did you sense her that far away when I can't sense her that far away. It actually takes a while for Ymber to realize Deacon really doesn't know any of his coworkers and who he's talking to.

#my characters #based on me just not knowing which of my coworkers i helped with what or who asked me for what #so theyd bring something up and im like uh huh #deacon is a good bean who likes to be helpful to people around him #because hes lived a good life thanks to people around him such as #he had loving parents but after his mom died the neighbors helped him and his dad #then when his dad passed away and his neighbors would invite him over to make sure he wasnt lonely #and he appreciates those people but he doesnt recognize most of his coworkers #he can identify the neighbors based on oh the guy nearby has a hunched back and i help him with carrying stuff #so he notices those traits from people hes been near for a long time but then is baffled over coworkers #if someone changes a hair style that is a brand new person #based on holy crap my coworkers used to change their hair all the time i never knew who was who #dyed hair or getting a trim and dye or simply wearing it up one day but not the next #i have no idea who i worked with and it was v awkward for me but people were always nice #how has it been a week of pain im gonna go offline and suffer breathing pains

#ok so mini rant session #i am doing a bit better today - little less distraught over getting fired from a job i thought i was doing pretty good at and i was trying #really hard and genuinely enjoying #and just more baffled because truly i had no warning and i was completely blindsided #i was in the middle of a 3 month trial and i would have a review at the end in which i would be offered a permanent position if it went well #and i thought i was making my way towards that! granted i was still making mistakes but genuinely not of such a great scale i thought it #called for my immediate dismissal #that being said i was still VERY MUCH IN TRAINING. i had only been there A MONTH AND A HALF learning COMPLETELY NEW SYSTEMS #and i was told that i had been there a few weeks already and that i wasn’t catching on quick enough. that there were some areas i was #understanding and others i just simply wasn’t #and i asked what areas specifically so that i could learn more and try harder #and they didn’t give me a specific answer.#ok and so. so. i have this insecurity.#that at first impression people will like me. that they may think i’m pretty or kind or funny or whatever #but then they spend time with me or get to know me and realize that that’s all bullshit.#that i’m actually not pretty and im mean and loud and selfish and lazy and rude and etc etc etc #MASSIVE fucking insecurity in that like that’s why i genuinely don’t have friends or a significant other #and that genuinely i’m just a Bad Person #and when i was fired? i was told ‘a persons true colours show after a few weeks’#so that’s MAJORLY fucking me up.#when i was hired i was boasted to about my boss’s hiring process and how she’s ’only been fooled twice’#and the morning before i was fired in a meeting my supervisor told everyone that i was doing quite well.#so yeah i truly had no fucking warning. at fucking all.#hurt and confused and angry and baffled and did i mention hurt #anyways if you’re still here i’m sorry i know this is not a good look for me

ok, I've said this once before, but it needs to be its own post.

I hate the "Pav would be so afraid of horror movies" thing, cause I honestly don't think he would.

like would he be very easily jump scared, yes, but he gets more violent the more startled he gets, and he becomes the jump scare (don't sit next to pav if you don't want to get hit with something)

I think he gets mad. like every time some white person falls for the same cliche over and over and over again, he just starts yelling. or when people just do dumb things in general, he's just mad.

the only scary movies he can actually enjoy are slashers and horror comedies/romances that play into the tropes and actually have some substance other than gore for the sake of gore or heavily edited effects. he's here for plot and drama, he's here for a good time, not to startled out of his seat by a face coming at him from the shadows, he's here for the Scream series or those old found footage movies that didn't age well and are now just kinda funny to go back and watch.

pav is not a scaredy cat that needs to be protected cause he's a soft little uwu boy 💞🥺💖😣. he's a bitch (affectionate), he will throw a remote at the next "unnecessary" jump scare or stupid (white) person falling for the stupidest shit, he wants to enjoy your classic horror flicks, get a little creeped here or there, maybe laugh a little, and have a good time following the plot.

also also, he will pause the movie, even with other people watching, like the dramatic little bitch he is (affectionate, because I am this person too) and cuss out whoever he thinks is being stupid, even if he doesn't pause it, he's cursing someone out.
