Could you please explain to me what 'Jobbing' means in your metas. Thanks.
It's a wrestling term that is used to refer to when one fighter is meant to lose to another, simply because their bosses want to make the other guy look good. It refers to a wrestler "doing the job" of losing to make someone else look good. Recent example:
Zdarsky wants to make Failsafe look tough and smart so he has him kick Superman's ass. Clark "jobs" by losing when he really shouldn't, but he's just a narrative prop to establish Failsafe as tough. Hence he's "done the job" he was meant to.
please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way
