What rules do K-Verse bounty hunters have to play by in their hunts?

-Hunters must not harm innocent civilians in the course of a Hunt, either from direct action or collateral damage. Any harm incurred during a Hunt beyond that of Hunter and Quarry must be evaluated by a Guild committee and sanctioned accordingly.

-Hunters must abide by the terms of engagement dictated by the Client, as well as those dictated by interstellar treaties with the galaxy's ruling powers. In the absence of such treaties, Hunters must follow local planetary law as it applies to the Hunt.

-Hunters require special permits to hunt on inhabited planets that have not yet reached spacefaring status. (this rule is often ignored in the deepest reaches of Wild Space)

-Hunters must not poach assigned Quarries; a Hunter may request of the Guild to have a Quarry reassigned, which may or may not be granted on the basis of a Hunt's difficulty, location, etc.

-Hunters may cooperate on a Hunt at will. By default, earnings from such a Hunt will be split evenly among the Hunters, but Hunters may come to a different agreement that will then be enforceable by the Guild.

-Hunters may not purposefully harm each other at any time. In the event that a Hunter goes rogue, the Guild must first excommunicate them as a Guild member, at which point every effort must be made to bring them to justice. Depending on the gravity of the rogue Hunter's offenses, the punishment may include summary execution.

-Hunters may be provided with basic weaponry, armor, and transport by the Guild. Hunters may purchase improved arms, armor, and transportation at their leisure. Unless otherwise dictated by the Client, they may also obtain resources from their Quarries.

Yesterday my little brother called because a stranger, a worker at a bakery told him that he really reminded her of a friend and that he's nearly identical to this friend she has, and said my name. Turns out she's the lady from the secondhand book cart I used to live next to and befriended her while walking by nearly every day, but then I moved and she switched jobs and I haven't seen her in months and I've been wondering how she's doing every time I shopped at a book cart and apparently she remembers my name too and thinks of me as a dear friend. Idk it just made me happy and I feel like there's a poem to write here but I'm not very good with words

you know what has been killing me. those stories of legends in the art industry and how they got into it way back in the day. all those stories guys whose skills weren't super good but they got the job out of pure passion. or whatever.

and they were taught the trade after getting the job and got to interact with other experienced people and make connections and got to become so important in the industry from basically nothing. or whatever.

and contrasting this to how you have to be a walking talking human orchestra if you ever have any hope of getting any kind of job. you have to ALREADY have industry-standard level of skills before getting into a 'prestigious' uni or getting any kind of position in the industry. and even then you're super disposable and nobody is gonna root for you and nobody is gonna network with you unless you already start out with connections.

maybe i'm just pessimistic or whatever and it's not actually that way but it's how it seems to me. you can have amazing skills and still be thrown out especially if you don't already have mastery of basically everything. 2d, 3d, everything... what i'm basically saying is the barrier to entry is being put up higher and higher with time and if you don't keep up you're fucked

Looking forward to the day where I won't have to be alone at home.

We can have a beautiful old house with a garden, a dog and maybe a cat. I can sing lullabies on the glider on the porch while we watch the older kids run amuck in the yard.

When it gets late, we can all retire into the living room and watch some show and play family games. Before it gets too late, we can say a family rosary before tucking the kids in bed and sharing bedtime stories. The rest of the evening can be ours and enjoy the quiet and peace of the night.

I just can't wait until our dreams are reality.

idk I had a very interesting therap today but I just

like it's all very well to recognise that I gotta have a fucking open-ended breakdown and jump face first into the Sadness Bog sometimes instead of sitting on all my feelings

but like

I still have to go to work, you know? it's like. ok yeah have a breakdown which like until you jump into it you don't know if it's going to last an hour or a year. yeah go ahead that's all grand. you do have to get up in the morning and go to work though. you're not allowed to not do that. or to not pay the rent or not shower or not eat.

like all my friends and loved ones are constantly like 'you know you're allowed to be sad right' and it's like. AM I??? because I STILL HAVE TO PAY RENT.

Congratulations on graduating! That must be an amazing feeling.

thank youuuu <3

technically i won't be graduating until the end of the year because i finished past the cut off date for my uni's mid-year graduation ceremonies, but i'm happy to have finished regardless.

it's been a really difficult and long process, and i had to delay finishing my degree by 2 years due to a long string of Life Events (Not Fun) that got in the way of me completing the last 2 courses i had left in my degree as of mid-2022, so i'm glad i finally managed to get to the end of a semester without some random bullshit stopping me for the first time in several years lmao.

i dropped out of high school after i got sick, and i thought i was gonna have to drop out of uni too, despite all the work i've put in to pull my life together. it really means a lot to me that i managed to make it through to the end this time, even though it was tough to keep my head above water sometimes.

love waking up to my mom giving me an ultimatum and ordering that i have to give up my (admittedly expensive) apartment 1n 2 weeks and move back home for good. i had stuff to do today but i guess being gripped by dread and anxiety works too

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

the thing about podcasts for me is that i actually have a really hard time listening to them and have tried to get into at least 20 if not double that over the past few years but have never been able to get through more than a few episodes and that’s usually after forcing myself. this is true for all except one podcast. because i have only ever been able to listen to and enjoy that single podcast, i listen to it on repeat and have been since 2020. i have been informed recently that this is not something that happens with other people

i’m not gonna sit here and try to excuse any of Vincent’s bad traits or explain them with his tragic past, because he’s just a genuinely bad person who gradually got worse overtime. so when i say he’s a walking red flag i really mean it.

unresolved rage from the very early age, the powerlessness behind it turned him into a very angry and bitter man; he sees things for what they are – a realist – who lives in a really angry and brutal world and so he acts accordingly, assimilates, naturally picks up the characteristics of the cruel city and nasty people living in it.

not saying he’s easily manipulated or influenced, it’s just his ability to adapt, find balance, a solution to living in such harsh conditions. and the longer he lived, the more desensitized, emotionally-stunned and cold his mind and heart became, the more irritated and impatient he was with people.

his brutal nature fully surfaced in his late 20s while in the army, where he’s been praised and encouraged, congratulated for a slaughter well-done. years of lies, deceit, secret military operations and shady dirty work only gave him trust issues, caused him to become more guarded, mistrusting; but on the other hand forced him to vow never to lie himself, deeming liars the worst sort of humanity.

proud and controlling – traits he developed as a way to feel in control of his own feelings, of the things and people around him.

while envious of other people's happiness, achievements greater than his he never let money get to his head. he does not kill for monetary value, sees it rather as any other job just much more risky than a regular 9-5. he lives rather humbly, spending his earnings on his job – to better himself, his equipment, his work. while he allows himself to splurge on expensive items he values the quality of the product or service over the price tag and the right to brag about it.

years of mercenary work turned him very critical and patronizing towards young mercs – kids, as he calls them – especially those who foolishly try and follow in his footsteps, too blinded by the glory and fame that comes after. truth be told he’s scared of losing his position on the top of the food chain, fears being forgotten and thrown into the gutter, dying of old age with no memory of him imprinted anywhere. he hates the idea of all his hardships, years of gruesome work going to waste.

not that he aimed to change anything in this world, but he doesn’t want to be a Mr. Nobody, not in a city where being Somebody means dying satisfied, without regrets.
