What I'm hearing is that Davrin joined the Grey Wardens because he was lonely.

[dykedvonte]

Is there any proof that Curly got Jimmy the job? "He joined because of me." and "Someone's else's words in my mouth." sound to me more like he only gave him the idea to apply for a position using Pony Express' false promises without realizing. He sounds more regretful about becoming a recruiter for Pony Express against his own will. But it's talked about as though he literally hired him personally or pulled some strings with the Big Guys. When everything hints at Pony Express seeking out people like Jimmy specifically because someone who has a harder time on earth will be less likely to leave.

I feel like we can assume that Curly also put in a good word for him.

I think it’d be really interesting if that’s all it was because otherwise, that’s not something we can really fault him for. You bring up a good point in that if all he did was recommend he apply, then it was on P.E for hiring someone so unstable in such an important position. They are a very predatory company and a person like Jimmy is the exact type they like to take on and break into a ideal worker, obviously not in the vein of Curly or Anya but more like Swansea, resigned and okay with the monotony as long as there’s a paycheck at the end of the week/month.

I think it’s another thing people immediately fault him personally for despite it being left intentionally vague. That statement doesn’t mean he got him the job just the reason Jimmy is there is because of what he told him. Maybe he’s still partially to blame for putting the idea in his head to apply but you also can’t blame him for P.E deciding Jimmy was okay to be a pilot. I mean, looking back at the eval, Curly is shocked Jimmy is adjusting/adjusted well to the position. Those are not words of someone who was expecting their friend to be in that specific role, at least for as long Jimmy was.

Curly doesn’t have the power to hire Jimmy and seeing as he couldn’t even get corporate to listen to him about the cryo pods, a necessity, I think it’s actually more far fetched that he could use his title to get him hired in such a position. They were just filling a position with a candidate. The game subtly tries to show how little sway Curly actually has outside of the ship with the company in minor ways, so playing with the idea he’s still taking responsibility for what is ultimately a decision he couldn’t have ever really affect makes a lot of sense.

i opened tumblr during lunch and the first thing i saw was peter parker britney spears. two of my friends stared at my phone and audibly went “oh” thank you for the blessing

i've had so many people tell me "sci. the only thing i know about you is spider-man and britney spears". and i think that's all there is. you're welcome.

Friday (the 13th)

After 3 weeks of going all the places and doing all the things, I have zero plans for this weekend and I am so! excited!

At work, they're aiming to finalize the potential third option that we're (still) not talking about yet by the end of the year. It's probably the best outcome for my dumb lil work saga, but it's also the least illuminated path forward. I'm happy? but I have questions (and nobody has answers…yet?). More vagueblogging to come, I'm sure.

I forgot to re-stock my supply of Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm as soon as this year's batch was released and now I'm waitlisted 😢🤞.

It's a week and a half 'til Christmas? Hmm.

Wait, it's a week and a half 'til Christmas? That means the days are about to get longer again!

[uwunnie]

…catching up on everything I’ve missed, and uh…wow…

[undistortedworld]

carefully crafting my outfit to look as sweet and innocent and unfireable as possible in hopes of making my boss feel too bad to fire me for breaking the work phone

[septimusmoonlight]

[fedoraspooky]

Spooky you're in california right? Are you safe??

As of right now I am safe, yes! Deffo been having some close calls with smaller fires springing up nearby, and the four-ish days of white-knuckle stress and anxiety probably isn't doing me any favors, but I have stuff packed and ready to toss in my car if it comes to that... I really hope it doesn't. xnx;;
