so i wanted to buy an official siffrin plush but, as usual, i got there late and they were sold out!!!! so!!! guess i had to make one myself!!! thanks capitalism!!

anyway: here he is!! all finished up!!

and yes, every single item he's wearing is removable because i like making things harder for myself BUT HEY i adore how he came out and this was super fun to make, so please enjoy him with me

Helly has shown nothing but support for the innies, and, at minimum, tolerance for the outies.

Of course she's going to enjoy what-- from her perspective-- might be her final minutes with Mark. As far as the innies know, the outie world is always waiting for them-- the innie world is not so certain.

It's not Helly vs Gemma. There are no winners. Everyone's a loser.

hey so when did I ever say it was about helly vs gemma lol. my point was never helly should have let mark go because gemma deserves him more than her my point is that helly should have let mark go because he would have been able to fulfil her hope of lumon being destroyed with gemma at his side. you're making this into a ship war not me!!!

I think that comparisons between access to prescribed stimulants and medications like insulin are categorically inappropriate, and I will personally hand to anyone a card to mock people making that comparison. However, today I called Walgreens to ask whether they'd gotten Adderall in (because I called last Wednesday and they were out of stock, and I know from having experienced this multiple times over multiple months that they get new shipments on Wednesdays) and the woman on the phone told me they were out of the generic (which my prescriber only began prescribing because the name brand was out of stock) and that the name brand would be $326 unconvered, but that my insurance would cover a 5 mg dose, which, due to the laws around schedule 1 substances, means I would have to call my prescriber to have them resend the Rx to the phamracy, but this time for 3x daily 5 mg capsules. And I just said thank you and hung up but inside I was like ma'am, I know it isn't your fault but this is actually exactly what one would cook up if the intention was to torture a person via the process of accessing their stimulant prescription.

do you ever think about how kon got drugged to the point of inability to think clearly and then enslaved for Two Fucking Months and then we just never mentioned that again? that is, except for when he went back to visit and help out the guys who enslaved and drugged him because he was lonely enough to befriend them after they said oh sowwy we didn't know you were a person uwu. i think about this a normal amount

putting this under spoilers but i am INTRIGUED FASCINATED AND I WANT TO SAY THINGS ABOUT TMAGP 21

I am really intrigued at the choice of a scorpion for the chosen tattoo and I know it's probably more of a "let's have fun killing you with scorpions" type of deal but I do wonder about what that kind of thing could mean.

I am not really good at symbolism and analyzing but I can say a part of me first went to that old story, about a scorpion promising a frog they wouldn't sting them if they helped them across a lake. Breaking the promise later out of instinct and killing them both.

there is something here probably but my brain has been multitasking for like 3 hours and I am not the correct person to analyze this honestly.

An idle thought, really, but I think it's interesting to see fandom latch on the metaphorical interpretation of things like Laudna's relationship with Delilah as a metaphor for addiction or Imogen's psychic powers as a metaphor for either chronic pain or queerness, but there's much less attachment to or discussion of the characters who explicitly, canonically dealt with exactly those things. By which I mean Scanlan's substance abuse, Veth's alcoholism, and even Ashton's chronic pain (which feels like it was discussed much more before it was confirmed canon, and seems to be brought up mostly just as ship fodder these days). I suppose one could argue the devotion to the metaphorical interpretations lies in the fact that it's an interpretation of canon as opposed to being explicitly so, meaning there's more wiggle room to project a personal interpretation onto it. Explicit canon is more concrete, less malleable to the individual viewer. Still, if we're going to talk about addiction now in a metaphorical sense via Laudna, it leads me to wonder if we will see further discussion of the characters who explicitly dealt with addiction (Veth and Scanlan), as opposed to Laudna's purported allegorical version of it

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

[mel-hath-no-fury]

Had a Witcher/Sesame Street crossover dream last night. I wish I could tell you what it was about but I woke up and forgot most of it. All I remember is Geralt of Rivia teaming up with Big Bird buddy cop style.

why does everyone think Phil was high during the q&a?? we should all be used to him being this unhinged by now, it’s his default setting

I watched a training on career development; the premise was that project managers should treat their career like a project. And one really stupid comment stuck with me: "salary should not be in your goals. That's like choosing your software before knowing the project requirements."

It was ironic, because one of his goals was "work-life balance at a remote workplace." 🙄

It was a lot of fluff about making lists of what you like to do at work and what you don't, and that somehow translates to finding your dream job. He discouraged using luck-based strategies, in favor of...a luck based strategy of mentoring people who will hopefully inspire you. 🙃

And I'm just like. "Ok, project manager. You haven't accounted for your assumptions."

But also. Knowing your budget is important to being a project manager. There's a minimum budget needed to succeed. If you're not planning that out early, you didn't really plan your project.

And I'm sitting there thinking that next, for me, isn't a reassessment of the tasks I perform. I like the tasks well enough. Next is getting a $50k-70k wage increase, to be in line with the industry average for people with my skills, performing my tasks, at my level of experience in this region. It's a 32 hour work week. And more paid time off.

I don't care if I get a fancy new title. I don't care if it's a more prestigious company. I don't care if there are more interesting challenges. I've grown my skills. It's past time to grow my lifestyle. And that's not going to happen from a like and dislike list, and mentoring people.

How is the drugged pie fic going. I had an idea that eating the drugged pie could lead to the threesome

LMAO. I am kinda leaning to more of a thrillery angle. Trying to think of things to be forgotten. The drugged pie fic will probably be my least fucked up work yet. I see you are a Sylkius truther and I respect that.

I think part of why wicdiv didn’t really resonate w me is it reads as a more consumer friendly and accessible phonogram in some aspects and part what makes phonogram so powerful to me personally is how niche and abstruse it is
