#manager of produce is good

Just found out that hours have been cut at my store in particular because one of the bosses happened to walk through when some of us were chatting and decided if we have time for that ee need less hours

And the most frustrating thing is the people chatting might not have even been the three of us being punished. Because theres three part timers. So cut hours come from us three only. Over the produce department of all three stores

For my own sanity and because im on my period im going to believe i was not one of the ones chatting and am being punished for no damn reason

Also, we dont just waste time and chat. Sometimes we talk about work things. Sometimes we chat while working. Once in a while we chat because its slow and we have the time and we are humans who like each other (gasp)

I have some not nice words for capitalism and my bosses

I firmly believe that pre-taping has been, overall, good, and that anyone who claims the stream is different than when it was live is fucking making that shit up because it's indistinguishable, with the singular exception of Sam posting The Full Chetney on Twitter 2 minutes after the end of the stream with an admission that he couldn't figure out Reddit.

Having gone through the original Urusei Yatsura anime twice in full and currently nearing the end of my third rewatch (just going through the episodes I like this time... which is admittedly still most of it lol), I thought it'd be fun to put together a chart on how I'd personally categorize the evolution and different parts of the show.

This is by no means supposed to be an "objective and definitive" categorization or anything. I just wanted to list out in broad strokes how I see the show based on what I've observed and what I feel from it.

Yesterday I read Earthian for the first time in years. Forever and always, I think it'll always sit in top spot for my overall favorite BL manga. It hit different than it used to, but I felt as though I understood it in a deeper way than I did on any prior read. Truly it is a beautiful manga, emotionally heavy, but hopeful and full of passion.

Quick question as I am slowly working my way through the website debating an order lol. In your wearing expertise to Demonia platforms run to size or do you need to order a size below/above your actual size?

you're not going to like my answer to this because in truth i don't have one

see i'm a uk 4.5. most manufacturers do not produce half sizes and this includes demonia. i always order size 4s for platforms (you want them to be a little snug rather than a little loose for stability sake) and 5s for like. running shoes

i couldn't tell you if a demonia 4 is big or small for a 4 because i... am not a 4 myself i just have to buy shoes a half size wrong anyway but all the time

this last EP might have been one of my least favorites from them, but I'm still just amazed by how impeccable TXT's discography is, ever since day one

With casting the US at least, it's pretty common for major roles in a show to go out via breakdowns (these don't look like breakdowns, but they're similar) as though it's open casting when really they're making an offer to a specific actor. So that by itself doesn't suggest to me that these aren't real, but I have no idea if they're real otherwise.

Yeah it does seem like Rolin was envisioning someone less traditionally beautiful for Lestat! Fascinating. I wonder why, if it was him thinking that made a more interesting physical complement to Louis? Just the feeling that someone more unusual looking would be compelling? So it makes sense that his perfect reaction to Sam was NO WAY MR. PRETTYFACE. And he realized that Sam is a delightful freak lol. But also, while Sam's beauty is the classic Disney prince thing in a lot of ways, he IS unusual looking too -- his features aren't just your bog standard super handsome guy, they're more striking than that. We've talked about him being a mix of masculine and feminine in some ways, and that's part of it.

Sorry, that first sentence should read "when casting IN the US" (I got a glimpse as I sent it and I think I left out the "in")

Yeah, interesting! It makes sense that casting would look a little different as the nature of our TV production schedules are pretty different and it's a much smaller industry, to say nothing of the fact that Australian productions usually cast very close to the wire as you don't really know if you've been greenlit until the last possible minute.

I'd be soooo interested to hear if Rolin had anyone in his head when he was thinking about casting both Louis and Lestat, especially since he's clearly had pretty strong ideas about other roles. He often makes it sound like he went in pretty open-minded, but - - yeah. Clearly he wasn't thinking of someone with Sam's face, haha. I agree though, I think one of the things that makes Sam good looking is that he actually has pretty unconventional features to him. Guys who have that more pretty Disney prince look can often come across as a bit sexless, but that's not really an issue for Sam, at least not Sam as Lestat, haha.

Leonidas may seem like a brute sometimes, always charging forward in pursuit of his ideals, but he's actually pretty sneaky and cunning. Take this from him here:

"Three great powers", he says. New Alberia is Euden's, under Leonidas' proxy rule, Dyrenell is Emile's and not a threat, but by claiming that the Kingdom of Alberia is a power by itself, he's implying that he's declared Valkaheim the new capital of the old Alberia. So technically Leonidas did 'ascend' a throne instead of leaving the titles of King and Emperor for his youngest siblings.

It makes sense: Euden comments early in the game Leonidas commands one of the largest armies in South Grastea, and his was only a part of Alberia's forces before. He has the might to establish himself a country, and it's not like Emile or Euden is able or willing to challenge him much.

Oh, Leo. What's more, he's not simply twiddling his thumbs atop Euden's throne waiting for him to come back, either, but using his resources to full advantage for his own kingdom. He uses Euden's troops to help quell riots in Valkaheim, and also uses Euden's diplomatic ties to establish ones between his lands and Hinomoto.

I think that's one of his more dangerous traits that distinguishes him from a big source of Emile's incompetence: Leonidas is adaptable and quick to seize upon whatever befalls him instead of trying the same thing over and over again.

Chelle reintroduces guns, er 'manacasters' back to the field, he quickly adopts one as a weapon of choice. His brother proves some of his behavioral tendencies are better at building strength and winning fights? He starts copying some of Euden's behaviors (even if they aren't for the same reasons). And there's few things more dangerous than somebody that is always learning and adapting to your strategy.

I really do think it could have been interesting to see the relationship between Leonidas and his siblings develop further, as Leonidas has not really changed in his ultimate goals, merely the means. And his goals are very much in opposition to Euden at least, who wouldn't take kindly to a would-be conqueror who wishes to assimilate not just South Grastea but the world together under his lead, to say nothing of his opinions regarding dragons.

I think both Euden and Leonidas would be fighting to shift eachother more to their own point of view, as Euden doesn't like fighting with siblings and Leonidas has recognized Euden as a capable force and one he might like to use to further his aims now that he's also acknowledging him as a brother regardless of blood. In general, I think Leonidas might have tried a 'I'd really prefer you aiding me voluntarily, but with or without your aid I will continue along my path.' to the siblings at large, just waiting to pull the trigger in demanding they fall under his reign as eldest.

But alas, amid all the other plot threads that had to be hastily resolved/abandoned, his went under the 'abandoned' category as Dragalia more used his time in highlighting the developing personal relations with his siblings. Which is great, don't get me wrong, but with how scary Leonidas is as a threat it's a shame he never got to fully re-debut into the conflict scene, since they definitely didn't resolve it completely.
