#meri talks.

[maerrine]

I got the results of my work capability assessment back!! And the tl;dr is that I’ve been judged as having a limited capability for work and work-related activity.

Honestly?? It’s kind of a huge relief to feel validated in a sense of like, yes, my issues (and especially executive dysfunction) exist and affect me hugely - I’m not imagining or making it up?? It’s not just finding work next to impossible, but struggling with doing the things I want to do and enjoy as well, on top of even really basic tasks...

I’m not happy that I struggle with those things, but I’m working on becoming less ashamed about it. I want to look for things I can do like volunteering even if I can’t manage full time work, because there are a lot of causes that are important to me that I want to make a difference with, but it’s nice to feel less guilty that I can’t always do as much as everyone else.

Staying active here and talking to people (online and irl) is another thing that’s hard for me, and I’ll probably never be as active as I want to be here/slow to respond to messages as well, but I do want to try and be around more too! So I’m gonna work on that from now I think. No guarantees, but still - I really enjoy reading everyone’s thoughts here and I’d like to get to know more people, so we’ll see how it goes!

Meri Wojciechowski - SCP 166

Meri currently works as cleanup/recovery for environments that have been damaged or otherwise polluted by Foundation intervention. While she's technically covering up their involvement, she takes the opportunity to study native flora and restore any area to its prime, growing back plants stronger than before and cleaning water to a livable standard for the native fauna. There are even protocols for moving manmade objects out of an area she's meant to cover.

Since it's getting closer to that time of year, I find that a lot of people still frequently confuse white tailed deer with reindeer/caribou. This is not me nitpicking about what's stated in the SCP article, and people can draw what they like! I just want to see reindeer more widely known as well, since they're beautifully unique in comparison.

Reindeer eyes change color throughout warmer and colder seasons from gold to blue to compensate for the differing light levels, their hooves have a wider spread to act as snowshoes, and they're extremely fluffy, being the only deer to have a completely furred snout structured so that they retain moisture even in cold, dry environments, so you're unable to see their breath in the cold like people. That's not even the end of the list of interesting things they can do.

I recommend the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd if you want references (and cute pictures) of reindeer! It would be genuinely amazing to see more actual reindeer Meri's exploring the neat features of these underrated creatures.

Bonus note: Reindeer calves (reindeer utilize the same male/female references as bovines, being bulls and cows respectively) do NOT possess the same spots as a juvenile white deer. Please observe: the adorable little Svalbard reindeer calf, the smallest reindeer species in the world.

If I had a nickel for every time a manga I read included a murder-suicide between twins, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

i love crazy contrasting 1p2p in every way(not every way). so i always subconsciously have 2P rusame be friends. unlikely friends etc. in whatever weird school au theyre friends. meri was probably bullied until he started hissing at other kids or something while rus2 was just like huhh okay yeah okay what fine. rus2 found him in a broom closet and it was as awkward as it sounds. in the weird stuckin1Pcoldwar au i have theyre friends also in the torturous existence. 1P rusame is too weird life is too short lets tomodachi✌️

going back and forth between the 80's Akuma-kun and the 2023 version, now knowing the later is a sequel, is really fun!!

there's a lot of little nods and stuff- this one's probably my favorite.

i wonder what scarlet child mc's relationship with some of the senior staff would be? Especially Clef

You first met Kondraki when he's there to renew your picture for your document, you guessed.

"How is Draven?" Asked you to make a small talk; he tensed.

"Fine." "How about James?" The man looked up from his camera, "who?"

A soft smile on your face contrasts with his frown. "Not yet then." It's better to leave some things in the dark.

It's been many years since you were born. You're a teen now, you think, contrary to what the people believe; you are not omniscient. It's weird, you're supposed to be an adult yet your body said otherwise. They had given you the privilege to roam without a guard breathing down your neck every second, cooperation and good behaviour does wonders. It's easy now for you to do stuff beyond your so called privilege. While usually the anxiety is ever so present, there's barely any crawling.

You wanted to meet Meri, your sister; physically, not through dream. You wanted to meet 999, your brother. You do not want to meet 682, nor Clef, ever. But does the universe ever gives you what you want?

He knows immediately. Type Green meets Type Green. Clef is technically your dad too, right? It's weird. You hoped he cared enough about a child he never hold for him to not snitch on their ass.

"You—" "Hi there, I believe you're my dad?" He let out an ugly snort immediately; almost dropping his ukulele.

You didn't even let him reply your first question. "Do you think they'll let me meet Meri one day?" "Do you think they're that generous, kid?"

"is that a no, then?" You tilted your head.

Clef grinned, ah, there's the third eye. "Did I ever said no?"

(Not a senior researcher but bear with me okay I love talloran)

Being an adult that's supposed to be older than your supposed current age is truly an odd experience. It's the Foundation after all, you guessed. Well, it's certainly weirder than facing the famous Talloran though scarless and with shorter hair; 3999 must had not yet happen then. You wonder if Kondraki had yet killed himself or not.

"I think it's better for you to quit." He looked quite jumpscared by you suddenly talking. "W-wh—are you talking to me?" Does he know you're an SCP under the tactical gear you are wearing by the way?

"I just think you shouldn't girlboss too hard or close to the sun, you know."

"What does that even mean??"

"Your boyfriend's here; think about it, okay?" And you left without uttering a single goodbye.

Just binged all of Jigokuraku in a day and aaaaaaaaaa I loved it so much!! The characters are all great, I love them all, and the themes of the story resonated with me so hard. I might make some more posts on it later, it’s late now, but I definitely recommend it!

[me-uglypretty]

carol keeping a newspaper cutout of monica then going "your mom said you like space :)" as if she didn't follow her life and her not coming back because she didn't herself as the hero her family expected of her, when they just needed her with them like its giving me a lot of natasha not finding yelena after she thought she ended the red room. monica saying she doesn't wanna talk to her aunt carol and carol's face after made me wanna scream and cry cause WHY IS LIFE HARD. why is this giving so much black widow vibes bro like leave me alone fuck

Guess what folks, I actually have goals this year but I’m sacrificing my book buying habit for it…..

*hold on as I laugh for a second* I feel like I threaten myself with that like every other month.

Anyway my goal is to get out more and socialize. Out the comfort zone I go! In Florida. The retirement capital of America. Suddenly this doesn’t make sense to me.

[oranges-arent-fruits-idiot]
