When people say Annabeth was an unreliable narrator and her stepmom was actually nice to her…

went to aussie for a week and apparently while I was over there a switch flipped and I am no longer on read-six-books-per-week sabbatical but have reached actually-think-about-the-future sabbatical which is a welcome if somewhat baffling switch

sorry im just thinking about bcs but like. why not add a few smaller scenes of gus interacting with his own men? why does it seem like, in comparison, mike is almost immediately elevated to a higher status than those two in bcs purely because we actually get to see him having normal conversations with gus? like i understand they might not keep the plot moving as well because of the fact obviously if victor is currently doing something it’s because gus told him to etc. but for the most part all of the smaller interactions gus does have with those two ends up being in a somewhat high stress situation where it feels very tense between everyone. and it’s just like damn! is it always like that?? why do those two even care that much about their jobs if their boss is a bit of a dick? etc. i think even an additional scene or two with those guys (either alone or the both of them) talking with gus in a more normal situation could’ve both added a bit more depth into how gus treats his employees (we got a lot with how he treats lyle and co., but not a whole lot with the illegal side of things), how comfortable vic and tyrus feel around him in a calmer setting, and exactly why they both feel the need to be as loyal as they are to the guy.

and also on the other side of this i don't think it'd hurt to maybe elaborate on their pay just a bit..? i'm not saying to randomly put a number out into the atmosphere but i just mean some smaller things like. do they buy nicer things for themselves? what's their housing situation? what's their car situation? are the escalade / yukon their own vehicles or does gus just use those two for business situations? do they use them when they're doing their own stuff off the clock or do they have their own cars? etc. that can also help with understanding their motivations a bit. don't get me wrong i don't think they should be visibly rich or something because that's not what gus would want but just smaller things! cause it's easy to write their loyalty off as Well they probably get paid super well, which i'm sure is true, but if they don't show a single hint of that then what's the point. even something as simple as giving tyrus a nice watch, or maybe victor having a nicer looking gun, etc. something small like that. because as it stands right now the average 41 year old viewer who watched the show once only knows and will only ever know victor and tyrus as those two guys in the background who do random stuff for gus with no clear motivation. just the personification of "On it boss (salute emoji)". and to be honest this is true for a whole lot of fans who do watch the show multiple times and enjoy thinking about it more in depth, because on screen we barely have anything about the two.

and to be clear i'm not trying to say we should have an episode just for them or something like no i understand they're side characters. i understand we don't need all that. and i understand this is also primarily Jimmy's show. but it's not like these two are on the same level as like, arlo or paige and kevin etc. these guys have been around since brba. victor was literally introduced in the same episode gus was. and they are a huge part of gus's story, especially in brba. s4 wouldn't have been what it was without victor and tyrus. and in bcs, ignacio's situation wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for victor and tyrus as well. and i just personally believe that if their goal with gus in bcs was to go back and elaborate on how everything came to be and show what he was like a few years younger, they could've dragged victor and tyrus into that. and i think his character would've benefited from taking that extra step with those two.

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

Rewatching V5 is flaring up my disappointment with Raven's character. Introduced as mysterious, commanding, and perceptive with a strong family-first mentality that aligns her with the clan rather than her own blood

Yet by the end of the season she's reduced to a coward, not giving Vernal or the clan a second thought before abandoning them for... Tai, of all people

Raven is the weirdest mish mash of characteristics and narrative choices that don't mesh well at all in such inexperienced hands

[truckstoptigers]

i remember i'd hear about how my state is one of the most dangerous places in terms of sex trafficking and i would think, what an awful thing. how terrible is it that my state has such an issue with trafficking that it's enough for it to be a well-known, well-documented serious danger/risk area.

and i still didn't think it would ever happen to me.

'people should make weirder gender headcanons,' i say, looking at my main group of OCs, of which none of them use they/them except innocence (who is genderfluid)

Girl you gotta write your term paper and not cry about your poor life choices

[sisterjaniswilde]

I don't mean to offend any cishet people when I say this, because I have cishet friends myself who are very dear to me, but for the love of god if you are gay, you need gay friends. you need friends who understand that the trajectory of your life is just going to look different than theirs. you need people who get this and can genuinely gas you up and encourage you to keep going, to tell you that it's okay, because some days you're going to want to not keep going. some days you're going to want to give up and go back into the closet because life would be easier if you could just blend in. even if you think you never faced adversity because of your queerness, being any part of the lgbt+ community can be incredibly isolating when you don't actually feel that sense of community. when you're queer and your entire support system is cishet people, even allies with the best of intentions, you are alone. they will never understand you, not fully. if you don't have to take off the lenses of what society expects of you, why would you? it is nearly impossible for cishet people to see the lives of their gay friends any way other than the same image they were raised on: birth, childhood, teenage rebellion, experimentation, young adulthood, job, marriage, children, house, taxes, weddings and funerals, death. gay people often have wildly different timelines. deviation from the expected timeline is not bad, just different, but most straight people I know don't realize that even "I just want you to be happy" has an undertone of "I want you to be happy in the way people like me are happy, by doing what was expected of me." it's horseshit and it's a trap. do what feels right. be kind. love deeply (even your cishet friends). enjoy the grass. forgive. live.

I came to terms with the Sol kinnie thing months ago now because honestly who gives a shit, but every now and then I'll find myself in a situation where I wonder if whatever it was I was about to do was/is a pre- or post-Guilty Gear interest lol

IDK what exactly went down with the meeting with my supervisor and her boss today re: the fact my position doesn’t exist but I’m feeling... good? Very weird about it though.

Bossman once again brought up the possibility of me being the backup for his position, if I could get past not liking to speak in front of crowds or give presentations.

I am once again being tasked with training people in “higher” positions than me (bc my position title has not changed since I got hired in four years ago even though I know more than *cough*everyone*cough* a few people) but this time I was given actual pointers!!!! Bc I super suck at people skills of the professional level.

The more that I’ve been thinking about the meeting the more I’m actually kind of looking forward to doing the training. The hardest part (outside of the soon-to-be wildly changing work schedule) is that I’m gonna have to keep my bitchiness under control lmaoooo

But also like. My schedule is changing and i don’t fuckin know how it’s gonna work- and my boss even. Made a comment that is just now starting to sink in that I might not be able to come back to her shift after training is complete.

“When your schedule changes, I don’t know if you’ll be under me or [Bossman] so just make sure you inform both of us of your hour changes until it’s figured out.”

If I end up being transferred directly under Bossman, going back to my Sup is essentially impossible and like--- she’s the reason I bothered staying at this place as long as I have. If it weren’t for her, I’d’ve quit two years ago. It’d be a massive step forward for me in the company, sure, and I would be better off when it came to my salary but it’s sad to think that I might not be answering to her anymore;;;;
