i think it fucks immensely that bk moon went out of his way to 1) establish rakiel wished to live a long life and eventually pass away of old age, 2) have him very briefly envy an immortal being only to be told very clearly to be careful what he wishes for by that very same person because living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be, 3) make the main antagonist be another immortal being who is so desperate to die he's willing to destroy the universe just to finally rest and 4) have said antagonist psychologically torture rakiel with the threat of making him live for a thousand years as everyone he loves and knows eventually grows old and dies and becomes nothing but forgotten memories.

only to then end the novel by making rakiel also immortal

like. god. it's so fucking good i love it. i'm not being sarcastic i genuinely think it fucks and it's one of the best ways bk moon could've wrapped up the plot.

it's a happy ending by all means but it has consequences and through the entire novel we've been shown and told over and over again just how heavy the consequences are and/or will be on rakiel.

he got his happy ending but it was at a price and by the last time we see him he's only just starting to pay for it.

it's great i love it

It's like, hey, this person seems cool, I enjoy talking to them. And they're like, hey, you're cool, I enjoy talking to you. Which is great! But then they're like "wanna talk more?" And I fucking panic.

22 was my favourite year. That was when Strange Magic came out and I was finally living in my own house in the country. My brother had his own place too he had a great gf who was so beautiful and hot she took me to see 50 Shades of Gray and we loved it she was so sweet and such a good friend. Then my brother broke up with her (wtf) and now he only dates bitches who hate me. I miss Erin 😭

Insults, calling you an animal repeatedly, and mentioning him repeatedly by name.

Don't look.

I hate german trains...

I just wanna go home... today was so nice, having been able to go to a pride fest, but now I'm stranded on the fucking station, because my train, first didn't go and the second has a huge amount of delay and i can't take any other train, because that is the only one that goes to the fucking station i need to go to... i wanted to be home by 7, now i will be home at 9 if I'm lucky and the train won't be any later

DB get your shit together...

another downside ive complained abt is that it indicates no obvious path of foot traffic. i lived in a shitty old home all my life and then as a teenager my parents decided to upgrade it all to a super open floorplan and it sucks.

we used to always put our christmas tree in the corner next to the fireplace. but now the walls are all either couches, tables, cabinets, or TVs, so we have to cram the table next to the couch to have a space for the tree.

when people come over, it's insanity. if you need anything, they're along the walls, bc there are no corners/central fixtures to base anything around. if you need to actually get to another room, you just walk through some zig zag in the center of the room between people. im like living in a fucking rentable dining hall.

also, because all you have is fucking Floor, you have no space for anything. my parents have had to buy so many fucking cabinets to cram in our basement because there aren't as many good spots on the wall to hang stuff on (you can't really put a fuckin coat rack above your couch, and there's no longer a hallway in front of your door for it), and again there is nowhere that really makes sense to put anything. once you decide to "break" your kitchen/living-room monstrosity by putting the back of your couch where a wall should've been, that's about as much structure as you can get.

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

WIBTA for taking advantage of my boss’ possible manic episode?

I know this already sounds bad but hear me out.

So I (30M) am the sole employee of this guy (62M) who’s honestly just a miserable boss and an even more miserable person. It sucks so bad working for him—the pay is horrendous, he’s verbally abusive, and the working conditions are awful (in the winter I literally have to stay bundled up the whole work day because he refuses to put the heat on in the office). He wouldn’t even give me holidays off if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s basically nothing to do those days because everywhere else is closed. I’m almost positive he unironically thinks poor people should die if they can’t work. His nephew (aka his only living relative and just the nicest guy) came by yesterday to invite him to Christmas dinner and he told him he’d see him in hell.

I cannot stress this enough—it’s BAD. I’d quit, but it’s been hard finding a better job and I’ve got four kids at home, including one with special needs.

Anyway, so here’s where I’m wondering if I’d be the asshole. Today was Christmas Day and he showed up at my house out of nowhere (huge red flag, I know). At first I thought he’d forgotten I had the day off and he was here to chew me out, which was worrying enough, but then his whole demeanor changed and he was super happy and excited and talking about how he was going to raise my salary. He even mentioned possibly making me a partner in the firm.

Now if that was it, I’d feel a little weird about the suddenness of it but it’d be fine. I’m not going to complain about having more money to feed my family. But then he started talking about how he wanted to pay our mortgage off. He talked about wanting to pay for our son to get the very expensive medical care that’s probably going to save his life. He mentioned at one point that he was going to be donating a huge amount of money to charity too—I knew he was rich but it staggered me. All this from a guy who doesn’t (didn’t?) even want to turn on the heat or the lights because it costs too much money.

It was such a sudden and drastic change that happened very literally overnight and now I’m kind of concerned he’s having a manic episode or something. I really, really want to accept his sudden generosity (I probably will; my wife is all for it and thinks he owes it to us), and I would love to believe that he’s truly had a sudden change of heart (an actual Christmas miracle lol) but I’m just worried about the possible consequences of accepting huge financial gifts like this from someone who I believe might be experiencing some kind of break from reality. Even if there’s nothing legally wrong with it, I’m worried about the ethics of it.

TLDR, my asshole boss might be in the middle of a mental breakdown. WIBTA if I accepted his offer to pay off my mortgage and my son’s medical expenses?
