#ok another rant over bye

[tbhshaped]

can I be honest and say that Lily Gao's Ada Wong is like. The best Ada Wong, I am not afraid to say it, Lily gives her so much more than just the typical "flirty sexy" voice, I am a Lily Gao defender till I DIE she is the only Ada Wong to me

idk i love splatoon. i know this is such an unsurprising comment like wow the guy w the splatoon icon the splatoon banner and splatoon as the top tag in her tumblr search likes splatoon but it's a rlly important game to me. i'd get all sappy about it since it's really only just hit me that like. this is the last update cycle that the games gonna get and i rlly do wish it could have kept going a little longer but honestly? i feel like even once the game stops updating i'll still care about it. i still cared about splatoon 2 when it stopped updating, hell i think i cared about it more after it stopped updating. also, i highly doubt splatoon 3 will be the last we see of the franchise. especially given how popular it is in japan. i've loved these games for years now, and for a long time when my life seemed really turbulent they felt like the only reliable thing i could fall back to.

Literally the same guy keeps hitting me up going on like 5 years now trying desperately to get into my pants even though hes 10+ years older than me and he just sent me a fb friend request and no amount of politely saying no, saying i have a bf, ignoring him, or blocking him will get him to leave me alone 🤡

The cutest vampire ever!!!!!!!! 🦇

Ik october is like THE month of art challenges (forever blaming the Inktober guy) but unfortunately i've never succeeded in partaking in any of them the last like 8 years BUT i still wanted to draw something in celebration of the month!!

So i drew Ominis! As a vampire!!! For Halloween!!!!

I felt like i was so focused on trying to draw him correctly by looking at references and following them and i could feel my art style losing its flair a little because i'm really not used to realism 😖😖

This piece was a nice break from it all, and I'm happy with how it turned out, even though it's a little messy :'D

This is also why every comic part i made is different from one another and how it's never the same style. Trust me, i am very painfully aware of it lol... but I have to remind myself not to take it too seriously and prioritize on trying new things and having fun!!

Ok rant's over thank you for your attention good bye.

༺༻

y/n and Soobin got into an argument about Soobins work. “You always do this Soobin! You always ditch me for your stupid work and you do this… countless times!” Soobin rubs his temple before looking into your eyes. “I’ve told you countless times before y/n, everyone knows work is more important!” “And you said countless times you’ll fix it! I just can’t believe you anymore Soobin, you told me you’ll find more time for me, yet here we are.” She says with tears in her eyes. “Okay y/n! If you can’t fucking handle it why don’t you just find a man to love you instead!”

Y/n just stood staring at Soobin in disbelief. “Are you serious Soobin.. you’d rather send me off to another guy instead of trying to fix it? Fuck you! Seriously.” Y/n then turned and put her shoes on before storming out the house, already dialing her childhood best friend on the phone. “Kai.. can I come over? I just really need comfort..” she said in a dreaded tone. “Yes of course! No need to ask, you have a spare key anyway.” Y/n smiled loving how her best friend kept his cheery spirit. “Ok, I’ll be there soon, bye!” She said before hanging up the phone.

Soon she finally reached her friends house, slipping in the key and turning it to unlock the door and stepping in. “Oh y/n, you’re here!” Kai’s younger sister, Bahiyyih said as she ran to hug you. “Hey hiyyih! Is kai in his room?” She nodded as you bowed to his and greeted his parents and older sister Lea. You headed up the stairs to head into Kai’s room, which he was already about to head out. “Oh, y/n! you’re here, come in!” He said as he plastered that adorable smile on his face, which was contagious, making you smile too.

“So, what did you guys argue about this time?” Your eyes widened. You didn’t tell him anything, how does he know?! “So I was right, you guys did argue..” He sighed. “You guys always argue, how aren’t you tired of him!” You looked down and sighed. “Trust me, I AM tired, sick and tired! I just… I just still love him..” Kai’s face scrunched up as if he was… jealous? “You love him? All you guys do is argue! He isn’t the same as you’ve known in high school, he’s a grown man now! He couldn’t give two shits about you! He only cares about money, that’s all. And in high school, he just wanted to get in your pants!” You looked up in disbelief. Why was he saying all this? Why is he acting like he knows everything?

“Kai, you don’t know that! Stop assuming like you know everything! Are you the one dating Soobin? No, I am! So how would you know how he is under the surface? You don’t, so don’t say anything!” Kai scoffed and turned to the other side. “Yeah I know because I’m a man myself! All-“ you cut him off before he could finish. “All men aren’t the same! So don’t finish it! Soobin is different, he isn’t like those perverts.” “Oh really? He’s not? Are you his friend? Are you the person he runs to to talk shit about his own girlfriend and how annoying she is? Are you, y/n?” You tear up at his words.

Why would he say all this.. “Kai.. why do you even care? Huh?! Why are you so indulged in my relationship!? It has nothing to do with you!” “It does, because you have something to do with me!” “What do I have something to do with you?! Why do you care so much that it involves me?” “Because I’m inlove with you!” .. what..? Your childhood best friend was inlove with you..? “Wait kai… it makes no sense what..” He sighed. “I’m serious. I’m inlove with you y/n. Do you know how I felt when you got with Soobin, my friend? When I’ve liked you for the longest I can remember? And now you saying you love him when you all just argue?! It hurts like hell, y/n.”

You were so stunned.. “Kai.. why are you doing this..? Me and Soobin are still together.” He finally looked you in the eye and you could see tears in his eyes as your heart felt like it had fallen apart seeing him cry. “After me confessing my love for you you’re still worried about you and Soobin..? What should I even expect at this point” he scoffed before he pushed past you to storm off.” Seeing your friend that you’ve known for 20 years has finally snapped. Why tho? Was it because of love?

You wanted to storm after Kai, but you felt as if it would be best to leave him until he got better. Little did you know waiting for a few days turned into weeks, which turned into months. Should you finally speak up? Should you apologize? What should you do? You don’t feel the same you do but you don’t want to lose your best friend, the only person you could really call that. Of course you and Soobin broke up, Kai’s words got to you. Once you confronted him about the shit talk he admitted he was just a pervert and needed the title of a lover. Which hurt you yes, but you didn’t let it show.

Before you thought of contacting Kai, he contacted you before you could. So he was thinking of you… that made you happy and you don’t know why. You open your phone to see the message he had sent, smiling seeing the contact “hyu 🐧🤍”. “I’m sorry for lashing out and just leaving like for for 2 months. I was just really pissed and got upset :(( I’m so sorry, can we meet?” You pout, knowing you’re the one who should apologize, not your sweet sweet best friend. “Yes of course! We can meet Kai and I missed you sm during these 2 months :( I can’t wait to see you! Where do you want to meet?” You eagerly texted back, sitting in chat waiting for a response which didn’t take long. “The park we always used to eat ice cream at after grade 7? I miss that haha”.

You smile admiring how cute he is before replying with a quick “yes” before getting ready. After getting ready you walked out the on the way to the destination, looking up at the clouds, noticing how they’re dark and heavy. The sky’s also darker too, but that could be the least of your worries. You’re finally talking to your best friend again! You’ve missed him so bad, you won’t let this slip from your hands. Once you reach the location you see Kai, his back faces towards you. You couldn’t stifle your smile finally seeing him again in person instead of online (you were stalking 😭) .

His face lights up as he finally sees you again, quickly running to give you a hug. “Y/n! I can finally see you again.. how have you been?” He immediately checks up on you, making your heart flutter. “I’ve been doing fine hyu, just missing you like crazy..” you watch his expression as a hint of blush creeps on his face before he turns serious. “Okay, what u wanted to talk about was why did you never reply that day? When I poured out my heart to you? Why did you just… remember Soobin again? It was about me and you, not him and you.” He pouts as he finishes. You look down. You don’t know why you did it actually. You were so attached to Soobin you couldn’t imagine anything else but you two and him. That’s why you completely ignored Kai’s feelings, thinking you and Soobin were going to thrive.

“Kai I… first let me start off by saying I am so sorry. I never meant to just ignore your feelings like that and not contact you apologizing first. And.. to be honest. I don’t know. I was really attached to Soobin and you know how I get when I’m attached… I just can’t imagine anyone else messing up us and I just try to focus on what me and them are going to be. I’m so sorry..” you say, looking at his eyes the whole time. Kai just stared at you before replying. “Well, I still feel that way. And I don’t think anything will change that. I’ll forever be inlove with you Y/n. No matter what happens or who comes into it, my feelings will never fade.” You smile at him.

Throughout your time away from him, it made you realize how much you actually needed Kai. He is your best friend after all since diapers basically, so you don’t want to lose him. But aside from the best friend title, you feel like you developed romantic feelings for Kai. You want to love him with everything and you just want to be with him, right under his nose. You never realized it until recently but you love Kai. And not in the friendship way, you love him. “Kai I… I feel like.. I like you back, but then again, I just got out of a relationship with Soobin so I might be a little confused. Maybe we could.. take things slow? And maybe I’ll become sure of how I feel.”

His eyes brightened before he took your hands in his. “Take all the time you need, I promise you y/n I will wait however long you need. Just tell me when you’re ready okay? I’ll be right here.” You smile at him. He was always so cute and cheerful. That mood suddenly ruined by a loud clap of thunder, making you both flinch. “Ahh.. the clouds were dark before I left the house.. it may rain today..” you speak. Kai just giggled and grabs your hand and runs to his car. “That’s fine! Let’s go drinking and eat tteokbokki for now, you love doing that in this weather, don’t you?” You smile. ‘so this is what young love is..’

Can we talk about this?!

In my mind he wouldn't even realize he needs this from his partner, and at first he'd be surprised or even confused when they'd try to take over and focus on him only.

But when he would finally let go and allow his partner to take control and give him what he needs, he would fall deep and hard.

Sorry for the rambling, I'm way too excited about this idea! Bye.

Yes!! Just think about it- he lost his mom when he was a baby, and his dad had another kid to take care of owning other things. So naturally, he didn’t get much love/affection/ being the center of attention from a woman, even if his dad was a loving one. Then both bro and dad died, and he was left completely alone. I doubt his uncle showered him with affection either. Then he married, and tbh we don’t know if it was out of love or out of duty (remember- he just fought a usurper and needed to secure his line, so it might as well have been a marriage of convenience). And then he lost her to the birthing bed. And I bet he wasn’t frolicking around brothels looking for release - it’s just not his thing.

Like, my man couldn’t catch a break since he was a toddler!

That’s why I crave a story where his new partner focuses solely on him, and pleasures him, and takes time to explore what he likes and what drives him mad.

And, tbh, I prefer him to be paired with a more experienced partner in this. Blushing virgin wife is cute, but won’t do the job like an older and more experienced woman would.

imagine a story where he crosses paths with a woman from house Rylen. (Pirate/equality/badass house on the isles between aerie and the north). She is a bit older (25?27?) and was before married to an old essosi merchant - when her husband died, she had to survive, and ended up working as a keeper of the keys in a Lys brothel. She didn’t sleep with anyone, not her job- but she sure learned from the girls. But never tried on anyone because didn’t want to. Until she met Cregan, that is.

But, sex aside, I also want his partner to care for him in daily life. Like, making sure he ate, making sure he puts on warmer clothes, forcing him to stay in bed if he runs a fever, making sure the kitchen doesn’t put peas into the stew cause he doesn’t like them, etc. and him just slowly realizing that he is genuinely cared for and loved, and just melting and healing inside.

Ok, long ass rant over.

Episode 5!!

I have so much to say about this episode!

First: Denny’s and Ashley being all playful with each other is one of my favorite things to hear in these episodes. Just watching as they get closer to each other is really special. And I really hope that nothing happens with Ash and what the judge said about his probation 👀

Second: Lena is in Long Beach!!! I had to pause the video and take a second to breathe cuz I was so excited! And her hugs with Ash and Denny’s were so sweet! Also, the slut shirt 😂 I’m going to have to do a big art dump for stuff that happened in this episode and some things I mentioned in a recent Sophie post. Speaking of art! I did make another outfit for this episode (what did you expect, honestly) and I have a new shirt design!

Designing Sophie’s shirts is so much fun, and coming up with her outfits!

Fourth: You already know I’m going to have some shit to say about Alexis. This bitch makes my blood boil every time she’s on screen! Even from the first episode!Also, love Lena being Denny’s intrusive thoughts while Ash and Thad are trying to de-escalate the situation!Also, I saw Escape’s post about how Lexi is essentially stalking Denny’s online and that’s how she knows about her being an alcoholic. “Obsessive much? What, you like me or something?” -Soph. Anyway, KICK HER ASS, DENNY’S!! I’ve been waiting for this to happen for a while! Also, the part where Ash is auditioning and they needed someone to be Gabbie, my response to the lady asking if we’ve ever acted was just Sophie saying: I’ve done musical theatre in high school? And her saying that doesn’t count made me laugh a bit. But of course, Lexi had to do it and it just had to be a kiss scene!!

ok, rant over

Fifth: The conversation back at Ashley’s house was interesting, especially when Thad was talking about his side of the whole poly situation. And, I’m guessing the one on one conversation Ash wants to have with Thad is about him liking Denny’s (but that’s just my guess). And, we get another little moment with Ash and Denny’s, which I love 💕 As well as Thad’s “SeeyagoodnightIloveyouguysbyee!” was kinda cute

Also

THAD AND LENA, HOLY SHIT!!!

I saw it coming (hehe) but I didn’t expect it to happen in the video!

Also, this is kinda my hot take but, as much as I love that Thad will be getting his own listener later down the line, I do love the idea of Thad and Lena being together!

That’s all I got, this post is long as hell, I’ll try to do art dump as soon as I can, loved this episode a lot!

bye bye!

Tommy Shelby- Silent Treatment

This one was requested. Thank you everyone who has sent in requests

"I'm sick of it. All he does is come home and go to the office to work. I don't know when he last looked at me let alone touched me" I rant to Tommys siblings and aunt in the betting shop

"I'll have a word with him love" Polly says with sympathy

"No don't worry. I told him this morning that I wanted more attention from him and he said that I was being needy"

"Just walk around naked that will get his attention" John laughs. I roll my eyes at him

"YN he's a workaholic. Always has been" Ada points out

"I know. And I know this was all to help the family and me, but I'm lonely Ada. We haven't got kids yet... or if ever the way things are going"

"Don't be like that YN your not alone"

"There's a difference with being alone and feeling lonely Ada"

"Ok here's my advice" Arthur starts but Polly cuts him off

"I don't think your advice or your brothers advice would be any help here"

"He just needs a good fuck"

"Don't we both" I mumble "how can a man go months without sex? do you think he's seeing someone else?" I ask wide eyed

"He's crazy for you. No" Ada tells me

"But Lizzie is..."

"Lizzie isn't fucking Tommy" Micheal now speaks after being quiet this whole time

"And how do you know?" I ask

"Because I saw Lizzie down the cut with some bloke. She's been seeing him"

"I can't carry on like this" tears threaten to spill but as the door opens revealing Tommy, I hold them back and cross my arms

"What's going on in here aye" he says sounding annoyed

"Nothing love, just talking" Polly smiles at him

"YN ready to go home?" Tommy asks me

"Good luck" Ada gives me a slight smile

"Bye. Thanks for the chat" I wave to the Shelbys and walk out with Tommy leading me to his car.

During the car ride I stay quiet as Tommy is talking. When we arrive home I greet Mary and Francis then head up to mine and Tommys room.

"What's wrong with YN?" Tommy asks Francis

"Have you asked her Mr Shelby?"

"No, but if you know what's wrong your going to tell me" Francis sighs

"Mrs Shelby hasn't told anything, but I could take a guess"

"Well" Tommy asks getting inpatient

"I'm afraid your wife may be feeling a little lonely"

"What why? she's not alone"

"No, but have you noticed that recently you have been in your office more so?"

"Fuck" Tommy rubs his hands over his face "thank you Francis" Tommy leaves Francis to follow his wife upstairs where he finds her in their room taking off her makeup.

The bedroom door opens I look up through the vanity mirror to see Tommy, surprised he hasn't gone to his office. Looking back to myself I finish taking off my makeup

"Don't know why you wear that stuff. Don't bloody need it YN. Your beautiful" I ignore him "come on love talk to me" I once again ignore him and get up from my vanity and walk into the bathroom to run myself a bath. As I shut the door  behind me I hear him mutter 'shit'.

After running my bath and getting into it, I'm only on my own for a few minutes before Tommy walks in only wearing is trousers "I've been neglecting you haven't I" I sigh in response "I guess I deserve the silent treatment don't I" Tommy kneels beside the bathtub and takes a flannel rubbing it over my body. Neither of us speak, he's just there taking care of me.

Nothing sexual happens between us, this is his way of saying sorry, but I want to actually hear the words. So when we get ready for bed and lay next to one another Tommy pulls me into him "I'm sorry YN"

"I know, but we need boundaries with work. After a certain time I want you to stop working and relax with me"

"How does 6 o'clock sound aye? At 6 I'll leave the office. We can have tea together then do whatever you want to do" I nod my head agreeing to what he's saying "I love you YN"

"I love you too Tommy"

[hi-there-buddies]

I don’t understand people who say “Vegeta should’ve gotten ssj2 after Cell killed Trunks”

Like legitimately

Do you know how fucking lame that would’ve made ssj2 look? We have years and years of hindsight to see just how cool and how much of an upgrade ssj2 was, but that’s ONLY because Gohan was the only one to unlock it in the Cell saga. If Vegeta got ssj2 like, 5 episodes after Gohan, it would’ve thrown literally ALL of Gohan’s development and Goku’s foreshadowing in the trash. Ssj2 is supposed to be unique to Gohan, in the same way ssj was unique to Goku. Sure, other people achieved it in later arcs, but the arc that had the first transformation and the person involved in said transformation will always be the one associated with the form.

To have two characters achieve the same fabled form in the same arc would be wildly anticlimactic. It’s like saying Gohan should’ve gone SSJ on Namek after Piccolo got shot and after Krillin died. Like ya, that could’ve been something that happened, and it makes sense since Piccolo and Krillin protected and helped raise him, but that would literally destroy all the buildup Toriyama had for SSJ.

And then there are the people that say Vegeta “deserved” ssj2

NO HE DID NOT.

He was an asshole who nearly got everyone killed for his own pride up until the cell games😭. He doesn’t just randomly deserve to get a power up because he decided to finally care about his son as he dies. Now, did he deserve to do some damage to Cell? Absolutely, especially because he acknowledged the fact that he had been ignoring Trunks until he died, and apologized to Gohan for getting his arm hurt. And that’s why his final blow to Cell giving Gohan an opening to kill him is a perfectly fine conclusion. But Vegeta did not deserve to get ssj2. This isn’t buu saga or super Vegeta we’re talking about. He was a complete and utter jerk until Goku and Trunks died.

(I also saw ppl get mad at Krillin for yelling at Vegeta for attacking cell. Which is odd because that’s a huge trope subversion for dragon ball. Usually the characters cheer another character on after a rage boost and expect them to win. But Krillin knew exactly how strong Cell was and he knew whatever Vegeta tried to do would only make it worse for everyone else. WHICH IT DID BTW. IT WAS VEGETA’S FAULT GOHAN’S ARM GOT FUCKED)

Ok rant over bye

[sukehiroselei]

random black clover thoughts, part 1/??

I was rereading the Star Festival chapter for a fic (lol) and I thought of something neat. I'm sure others have pointed this out as well, so it's not anything new.

The only reason that the Black Bulls scored second place was because they started the year off with negative stars. If they had started off with zero, they probably would have beaten the Golden Dawn.

I feel like it's symbolic of Asta's journey & rivalry with Yuno. The odds were always stacked against Asta. Even in Hage, Asta faced discrimination from his own family (*ahem* Nash; Father Orsi) because of his lack of mana/magic.

He somehow joins the ranks as a knight, but he gets into the squad with the worst reputation.

AND THEN, we find out that his ability is tied to the Underworld, where one of its leaders manipulated another to wreak havoc into the world. People are (justifiably) afraid of Asta's power, because its source (devils) tried to cause suffering for the people.

In spite of these setbacks, Asta's belief that his persistence will bring him to his goal + the respect he has for his squad propels him forward, all the way to second place.

Now you're thinking, "E, what does the ranking have to do with Asta's and Yuno's rivalry?"

While Asta is obviously frustrated about always falling behind Yuno, I think Yuno is bothered by it the most. Because he knows that if these roadblocks didn't exist for Asta (eg: Asta had magic, joined the GD, etc.), Asta would easily leave him behind. Yuno respects Asta heavily, because for someone to have so many handicaps and still get second place is super impressive. Just goes to show how tenacious Asta's real magic is!

ok rant over bye :3

[siennaditbot]

Not sure what happened but I'm in another otome game phase again lol

Just got through Lover Pretend and I'm now working on Nightshade!

Lover Pretend started out good but almost all routes disappointed me if brutally honest, especially Kazuma's (top left). Childhood friends... Not enough pining...

They kinda fell flat, and I don't like getting yelled at by my men lol. Felt most satisfied by Sena's (top right) route I think, surprisingly - I hate flirty dudes lol. Asagi's (bottom left) was so short too??

Also what's up with Nishijima's route and just kinda going through the whole pretend fiancé "but what if I fall for you?" thing WHILE NOT SURE IF YOU'RE RELATED OR NOT. Geez. At least Sena's and Asagi's tackled that. Makito's (top mid) too, early on. Nishijima... (Bottom left)

Still, I'm a sucker for a good old 'fake relationship' trope.

As for Nightshade...epic ninja game! Kinda nervous about the 18 rating for violence but so far so good. How bad can sprite art get? Or the occasional CG? Some words have made me wince though lol

I finished Goemon and Hanzo's routes today. The good endings, at least. Age differences (childhood friends with mc's mom??) are kinda very uncomfy in this game but otherwise, 10/10 so far. It's got me on the edge of my seat, can't tell whether stuff is supposed to go bad at times or if I messed up and am about to get a bad end lol.

Silly guys. So far I like them all, the age stuff just.. eh. Ok for me, not for main chara lol.

Also, next is Chojiro.... Mc's cousin... Hehe............ Yay... Hoping they aren't actually related but old timey stuff is wild sometimes

Anyway, the art's good too! Very different! Pretty boys :>

Also I love getting proposed to. Good endings <3

Can't wait for Gekkamaru!

Ok bye rant over

[mirrorofprinces]

><

i'm quitting my job today. like, i'm leaving, locking up, sliding the key under the door and not returning for tomorrow's shift. i'm really scared because i don't have another job lined up and i have a lot of bills. but this job has sent me home in tears more than once, and i have frequent panic attacks over the way i'm treated and spoken to. they don't train me and then get mad at me for not knowing how to do things, they talk to me like i'm stupid whenever i ask any questions for help, and probably the only reason they haven't fired me yet is because they're so ridiculously shortstaffed that losing me would completely fuck them over. so i'll do it for them. i just needed to rant because all my friends are already tired of hearing me complaining and go back and forth between quitting and sticking it out, but today was the last straw: i was dealing with multiple things at once, by myself, and made a small, fixable mistake with software i am still learning to use, and got the most condescending lecture. i'm done lmao. i'm going to enjoy my weekend, and halloween, and pray i finally find a job that doesn't give me migraines every other day. i just feel bad for my coworkers because i love them and they're so cool and kind but i just. can't. ok that's all. bye

[bruiisedpetals-a]

long NON RP RANT — about work bc the audacity!?!??!   tldr: a girl who had applied and interviewed and confirmed her trial shift to be a barista last week and was V EXCITED so we cancelled another person for her trial .... showed up, said hi, chatted a bit, had a look inside, then said she was going for a walk to look around the area bc she isnt a local, and within 5 MINUTES (literally. five) ghosted, disappeared, text my boss and said “yeah nah bye”, and left me alone handling the whole place.  cue endless work for me w double the usual customers, and a shift that lasted three hours longer that it should have bc of the ghosting.

rel context: i work in a small coffee & bagel place, two people on one shift: one on coffee & point of sale and another to be the cook, we also have two online food delivery providers so we take orders in person and from two apps + i’m a barista and have line cook kitchen prac & experience so am actually a ‘cook’ ig?

so i mentioned in my post when i was half asleep yesterday that i had a new person coming into my workplace for a trial today, so i stayed late to prep for weekend trade + restock stuff, and came in early to set up everything just in case. we were v busy yesterday with food as it was so i had a lot to restock, and w mothers day tomorrow everything needs to be topped up more-so. that a lot of work by itself to be honest but manageable in between cooking, esp when you have an extra set of hands when its quiet to help.   look if you have seen any cooking show you might see that set up, prep and pack down take THE LONGEST ok.

 — our permanent staff consists of me and K, we have two other locations so we get help from Z and J, and they can usually cover the shifts that K and i can’t  (eg. K can’t do saturdays, i cant do every 3rd tuesday)  but they manage other locations so they are not available without prior notice.       so basically the only person who was available to work today was me, even my boss was busy moving house w his wife, 4mo and two under 8yo’s. —

this morning i’m at work at 7am, turn on things etc, set up my cooking stuff, open the coffee machine, nothing crazy. at abt 7:45am im chillin outside having a coffee and a smoke and someone walks up and it turns out to be the trial girl. we chat a bit etc, i show her inside and the machine    (she’s a barista and i’m the cook on shift)     —   i say that i just heard from my boss myself, bc she had spoken w him earlier that morning, and he’s on the way and should be here within 5-7 mins   ***technically we open at 8am but i was waiting for my boss but had checked the time to keep track & i had just text my boss back so i saw the timestamp***

so at 7:59am i head inside after i finish my smoke and she’s going to have a look where i told her there is free close parking for next time bc she took the train, at 8:04am my boss walks in and goes “WOW IT’S 8:04AM AND SHE’S NOT HERE lmao” (he did not yell it he’s a g - that’s just how i knew what the time was alksjfhg)     and i go “no she’s just having a look down [street] bc of the parking i literally saw her a few mins ago” and proceed to open the doors etc.  meanwhile i see my boss on the phone calling her, after a moment he comes over with a Whole “i cant fkn believe this” Face on while he’s on the phone.  i’m thinking “??? i hope trial girl didn’t get lost in these lil crossover streets damn”

(it’s 8:07am, from now the customers start. they DO NOT STOP until at least 11am, it was at least double the normal turnover of profits during that time so thats ur ref for how BUSY it got)

boss goes “ur not gonna believe this” and show me the mssg from trial girl who basically has said “hi i went to ur shop, and i had a wander around the area and its just not good enough for me so i’m on my way home”. she’s GONE. in those five minutes. she got up, lied to me, and was at the nearby train station leaving. boss is floored and i’m like !>?!??!?!@#!#?who IN THE FK does this?!?!? but the customers so *professional me is present rn*

between her and boss there’s a little back and forth (text, she wont answer any calls) where he literally pleads with her bc there is NO ONE who can come in an assist me and she confirmed yesterday and she WAS HERE, she continues to be like “mmmm well ik that we discussed this and i said that i would be here and its been set for days and i applied LAST WEEK etc. but... no sorry im going back to bed” and then blocks him.

& this whole thing takes place between

7:59AM — 8:07AM.

i was there from 7am - 4:35pm  / my usual saturday is 7:45am - 2:30pm

WHO DOES THAT. WHO IS THAT UNPROFESSIONAL. WHO??? WHOMST??? SHE WAS SO FKN RUDE I WAS liVID. LIKE. why LEAD us ALL ON. we all need to make a living do U THINk he can afford to lose a whole day of trade?? he’s got a whole FAmILY and his wife cant work rn bc she’s just had their 3rd child.   i live PaYCHECK to PAYcheck.  like this is life this isnt a game????   you are 29YRS OLD why cant u act grown

Goodbyes are Hard

Alright, posting this again. Hope y’all enjoy it. Next one I post will be the Iris Remi fic.

60 seconds

Ren’s eye was focused on the clock in front of him, impatiently tapping his foot in time with the second hand of the clock. The teacher droned on, his words going in one ear and out the other. Ren gave up trying to understand the class work, tuning out the remainder of the lesson.

40 seconds

“C’mon, c’mon..” Ren mumbled. He became more restless, his fidgeting became harder to control. His foot was tapping a lot faster as his fingers drummed aggressively on the desk.

20 seconds

The eyepatch clad teenager was already reaching for his backpack, despite the teacher’s instructions to wait until he dismisses them. He always hated that rule. He slipped one strap over his shoulder, ready to jump from his seat and take off. If only the clock would move faster.

5 seconds

The teacher was still talking. Ren already began to stand up, gripping his notebook tightly so as to not drop it. The bell had already rung but the teacher continued to talk. As soon as he dismissed the class, Ren bolted out the door, heading to the theatre building where his older brother stood waiting.

“Come on! We gotta run!” Nathan joked, speed walking away. Ren jogged to keep up, already panting from previously running. They hurried to Nathan’s car, Ren quickly tossing his things in the trunk before hopping into the passenger seat.

“And now we’re trapped.” Nathan remarked, gesturing to the line of cars trying to exit the school parking lot.

“I’m sorry! Anderson held us back just to squeeze in one last example! Can you believe that? It’s bullshit!” Nathan chuckled at Ren’s angry rant.

“Oh by the way, here’s your fidget cube thingy. You left it in my car again,” Ren takes the cube and fiddles with it, which made a satisfying click with each movement.

“But yeah, that guy always went on tangents. Makes me glad I don’t have him anymore,” He handed his younger brother his phone. “What do you want to listen to?” Ren bore a mischievous smile on his face as he typed something in. It wasn’t until the car’s speakers were blaring the Mary Poppins musical soundtrack did Nathan realize why. He feigned a groan of annoyance.

“Haven’t you had enough of Mary Poppins? We just finished the show!” Ren giggled, nodding his head to Practically Perfect.

“Never! The songs are too good! Favorite song from the show, go!” Nathan paused to think for a moment before responding.

“Definitely Precision and Order.” Nathan hummed as they drove, enjoying each song that came on. Ren felt content, just sitting there. His brother was always fun to hang out with. He dreaded when the ride would stop.

“How on earth did these kids get their licenses?” Nathan sighed as another car cut off the car in front of him. Ren raised an eyebrow and turned to his brother, chuckling.

“You sounded like mom just then.” Nathan’s face contorted into an expression of disgust.

“Ew, how could you?”

Neither boy were very fond of their mother. And for a moment they drove in silence, the cheerful music no longer provided a distraction from their destination. Ren skimmed over his notebook, trying to find something else to think about. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the familiar building. The salon appeared to be busy at the moment as all the seats in the waiting area were taken. Ren sighed and unbuckled his seat belt.

“Are you gonna come in and say hi?” Nathan scoffs at that.

“And spoil my good mood? I think not. I’d rather go to work in a good mood thank you.”

“…. She talks about you a lot. I think she misses you.” Ren mumbles, hugging his notebook. He wanted to stay in the car as long as he could.

“Not likely but that’s a nice thought I guess,” Nathan sighs. He unlocks the doors and ruffles Ren’s hair. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow ok? I did promise I’d take you to the bookshop. See you tomorrow kiddo.” Ren smiles as he exits the car and grabs his bag.

“Bye! See you tomorrow!” Ren walks into the salon, greeted by the ladies working. His mother walks out from the back room, not even glancing at him.

“You’re late.”

“I know.”

Ren wishes that he could’ve stayed in the car. He would rather be hanging out with Nathan than sitting in the back of the salon, waiting for his mother to finish work.

He didn’t realize that would be the last time he ever saw his brother.

nonsense 2-3am rant that has absolutely no relivence exept to me, putting it under the cut so if you wanna read it you can but its mostly so i don't clog my blog.

rant includes another fandom im in, brief current hyperfixation mention, request to join the fandom im talking about (it has robots and object heads and lives rent free in my head if that means anything to you), mention of me wanting to post more for that fandom and just me existing in a very derailed rant about what ever my brain has produced

read if you want, tis just a rant but its long and might be slightly boring. gotta figure out how to draw fanart for both without geting over welmed... hmmm, vry much reminding me to post someother random fanart i just never got to posting in the past either. cutler and holly posts soon? ugh im brain dead, ment this to be short above cut thing but im rambling, buh bye

ok wait wait wait, so i periodically check in on this one comic on tapas that i absolutely adore about once a month or so to see if it's updated. turns out i missed last month and suddenly theres new pages out?!?!?!!!! (its called 'don't worry, teri blokhin' and im so binge reading the current new pages tommorrow, right after i go to bed tho)

no one told me we were getting a new chapter just 3months after the last one!!!! omg!!! ugh now im gonna have to deal with to fandoms taking over my brain now dammit. gotta get back on that grind. i wish i could just give all my time to both but like im currently playing catch up at school so yeah, thats fun <3

ugh, im such a bad fan /j. i blame hyperfixation and my own laziness to just log in and check on tapas more often but oh well. sucks to suck, gives me another excuse to post my holly drawing that i just haven't. was thinking about it earlier actually, i've had that thing done for like um since august? september? im proud of it but like i just never took a picture to post

watch me attempt to revive a dead fandom again out of pure hyperfixation and desire to make art (i know its gonna be a miniscule amount since my current hyperfixtation is taking up a good 85% of my brain rn (the rest is for school because my parents sooo demand it) but i think i can spare like 5% atleast towards the cause(this comic lives rent free in my mind and theres no way of stopping it <3)

anyways if you like robots and comics and more spesifically object heads you should join me <3 fandoms dead so its our playground and it gets a little lonely but i get by, i keep myself company, glad to have a chance at community in my current hyperhyperfixation but like i've suffice on my own fanart here + old fan art + once a year 2-3 month long posting periods since i became a fan or even started posting about it so like yeah. fueled by robots/object heads and determination.

sorry im writing this at like 2:30 am and i should be in bed, ummm yeah, me rant hoping to infect peoples brains even though i've posted litterally nothing about this fandom for like 2-3 months at this point. im normal about this comic trust <3 (im so happy its back but idk what it means for my current hyperfixation since they both can get pretty intense [i say as im shaking with exitement and tiredness at the thought of them]

um, rant post, yeah, im taging nothing in this exept for my basic tags for text rants. was gonna make a post about how my zoomies finally died down and am eepy or some but now i juat be existing with the fact that i've been hit with, the burden of following through with checking up on an old fandom and suddenly find out theres new (comic pages) posts up for a little over a month after not uploading for 3 months (i was expecting much longer so im in shock rn, usually it takes like half a year at best but a full year as the expectation for me when it comes to updates, not made at it just what i've gotten used to) ugh, now im a month behind on my comic reading :[ big sads. will post about it if i get any big brain hits but i might also just post the holly pic and let that be it if im not feeling up to making fanart for it.

ugh the comics great, full of queers, gays and trans alike and is so absolutley tasty to read

gonna end the rant here or else im gonna be going till sunrise, night night, i stayed up way later then i intended to. peace!
