Omg I just thought of this and immediately had to share it with you before I forgot 🤭 probably not really romantic, but I was thinking about Mia and Pio just going apartment hunting together. Oh, and then going shopping for things to decorate their first home together ☺️. Thoughts all over the place, but Pio picking Mia up from work or just waiting at the bus or subway station to go home together 🥰. Again, just random thoughts I had to share with you lol
Awwww this is all really cute 🥺💗
While it is not explicitly stated, I think in the movie it's supposed to be that the family all live together in that building. It is common for Italian families to have multiple generations under one roof (as I have heard - please let me know otherwise as I don't have enough knowledge about this), so that's what I go by ^^
If we were to work this idea into my series, my idea would be this:
Mia and Pio agree to look for a new home together, before the twins are born, as the current living situation doesn't feel right to them.
They look around, but are unable to have any luck, until the couple open up to the family about moving. They don't 100% want to move away, but they just need more privacy as well as eventually a room for their babies.
The family do agree that things are a bit crowded with the way the layout is now. So they do a complete changing rooms. Tony, Arthur and Marie (and eventually Marilyn) live in the basement floor of the building, Pa has his own room on the first floor, and Mia and Pio get a room in the attic. The rest of the rooms on the first floor are the bathroom, and the babies room.
Mia is especially happy with the viewing window in the attic 🤭 Great views over the city. And very romantic 😏
#I got the idea from coffeecat that arthur and tony are especially close and prefer to live near each other#I don't headcanon them as twins - but I see them as being closer#mostly because pio just seems like the one who was encouraged to go out and earn his keep and be a more parental figure to his younger bros#and then he met mia and that didn’t change#but he had a lover to support him and protect in return#ok sorry rant over#super mario#the super mario bros movie#super mario movie#mario movie#mia mario#mama mario#pio mario#papa mario#arthur mario#uncle arthur#tony mario#uncle tony#marie mario#aunt marie#pa mario#nonno#btw to all - you can ask questions about pio and mia (within reason!)#keylovesstuff#multicolour ink answers

ok i just finished the acolyte and tbh I'm a bit annoyed at how they structured the story. like the Big Bad Mystery (that definitely didn't need to be a mystery) is revealed in episode 7 of an 8 episode series, which is certainly a choice considering
1) we've already guessed the plot twist by now thanks
2) it's the penultimate episode? there's other important shit happening in present, we don't care about this anymore
3) flashback takes up the ENTIRE episode.
4) the reveal is obviously for audience eyes only-- by which i mean it's not Sol confessing his sins to Mae, it's not Osha having Force visions in that dang helmet. maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but wouldn't the flashback be more impactful if it were shown in parallel to one or more characters realising the fact of it? why do a static standalone that affects no one?
#ok sorry rant over#this show had a lot of potential honestly#i just wish. it had gone through a few rounds of revisions#the acolyte#star wars

not important but definitely needed to keep me productive i think
i totally suffer from executive dysfunction like im sitting here writing this sitri smut scene because i can't fucking take it anymore but im also not writing the sitri smut scene because i can't fucking take it anymore 😭😭
like here i sit! ive got music of various themes with some songs on repeat because i can't fuckign decide which sounds best blasting in my ears because i cannot focus for the life of me and im writing extremely descriptive paragraphs in short bursts 0.1% of the time becaue i physically force myself to write and the other 99.9% of the time i am writhing in pure excitement from the things im going to write and the music that is soooo overstimulating but i need it or else ill die. my head is spinning my hands are shaking and all i can think about is how beautiful this smut would be if i could force myself to write but nooooooo i have to sit here and type out a tumblr post to help me focus. god.
#ok sorry rant over#didn't mean it </3#god i hope sharing my thoughts helps dawg i have to get these ideas out of my head before i die from overload#mal's blurbs!#mal's thoughts!#mal's suffering </3

Ok listen. I just have *some thoughts*. Thoughts I can't articulate. So I drew this instead :U
Ref image is from ch. 6
#vinland saga#vinland saga manga spoilers#Ga'aoqi#thorfinn#karli#look i cant explain it concisely but ga'aoqi is just like askeladd#the only difference is we always more or less knew what he was up to#the story took place from inside his inner circle#this dude is doin all the same shit hes just not a MC#karli buddy im so sorry but i think the endless cycle of violence is comin for ya#and like! cordelia tells him she *wants* to believe in thorfinns ideology because hes kind and told her she didnt have to fight#but like as soon as shit gets real she still says she hasta fight#she still feels obligated to#and im not disagreein w her but karli was asleep when ga'aoqi and his guys burned the nieghbors house#so for him hes tryin to work out his own stance on violence and fighting and now this adult he trusts just seemingly contradicted themselves#like when it really mattered#...ok tag rant over but like maybe i just got that prologue brain rot#but IM JUST SAYIN !

As much as I love the BG3 community on Reddit, stuff like this really bothers me.
1.6k people have so little media literacy they think Gale being Mystra's kept wizard in Elysium after all she put him through somehow constitutes a good ending.
Like seriously wtf. No one would consider sending Astarion back to Cazador a good ending, even if Cazador magically offered to make him a true vampire.
Don't get me started on all the jokes about Wyll having the hots for Mizora. At least those are "jokes".
If nothing else this game has really opened my eyes to how utterly ignored men's abuse at the hand of a woman abuser is. Makes me sick.
#might as well hand Shadowheart over to Shar#i mean seriously why does the subtly of the abuse suddenly make it ok for all these people#it astonishes me how people identify the game's incredibly central theme is about power and abuse of authority#and discuss all the companion's victimization and ambitions accordingly#but somehow Gale is an exception and doesnt have a contribution to the former theme#bg3#bg3 gale#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#sorry for the rant

As we enter the Retail Hell time of year, I thought I would put together a list of ways you can help retail workers and make their lives a little easier.
1. Not interested? Leave it be!
People are great at telling kids this (looking no touching!), but adults do not lead by example. This isn't to say you can't pick things up unless you're 100% certain you're going to buy it, but I don't think people realise how much they browse with their hands. I very often watch customers walk around absently picking at things with no real interest.
Trying not to do this means workers aren't constantly having to straighten out displays, as messy displays indicate a messy shop, which puts buyers off, meaning it's drilled into us to keep the place clean. It also means at the end of the day there is less to do so we can go home quicker.
2. Don't grab the one in the middle
If there is something hanging up or on the shelf, and you're curious what the item looks like, take the one off the end. It is so much easier to put back neatly. Taking something from the middle usually means (especially with clothes) that it doesn't go back in properly without a lot of faffing, which most people can't be bothered to do and leave for workers to sort out.
3. Put it back where it came from (or ask!)
You would be horrified at how people leave changing rooms. I've seen clothes screwed up on the floor, flung over random rails, and have even found a bikini sanitary sticker stuck to the mirror.
If you can remember where something goes and you are able to do so, please put it back. Even if it's not entirely correct, I promise it's a thousand times easier for me to mildly adjust something than it is to walk out the changing room with a giant armful of clothes or stomp across the store because it got abandoned in a random spot.
If you don't remember where it came from, please ask! We can direct you! More often, you'll probably find retail workers offer to take it back for you - please take this offer! It means we can put it straight back exactly as it needs to be, and saves us a tidying job later. If you need help to put something back (e.g. you're in a wheelchair and can't reach), again ask and we will be happy to help!
4. Be Patient
It's a busy time of year and that can often mean workers are stretched thin. Please queue patiently at the tills. Please understand we can only go so fast. Please don't interrupt if we are clearly helping someone else. Ultimately, please remember that we are human too and have worked long hours multiple days in a row.
5. Check closing times
A lot of people feel that they can come in and start browsing five minutes from closing time. How this is handled will vary from store to store, but coming in at this time often means people messing up what we just tidied and stops us from going home.
Also, a lot of shops will do their cashing up in the last hour, especially near the end. Once the cashing up is done, cash payments are not likely to be accepted. If you are going to do last minute shopping before closing time, bring your cards with you.
6. Be Black Friday/Saturday savvy
I'm not in the US and I can't say this is true for every store, but for some Black Friday is treated as the midwinter sale. Again, I can't speak for everyone, but where I work we will be in Black Friday prices at least a week beforehand, if not longer.
Repricing takes time, often multiple days depending on how much stock there is to get through, and unless a brand forks out for their staff to do discounting the night before after closing time, there's a good chance that prices will be down earlier than that. The Thursday is probably a good bet.
Also, on these days it gets very busy very quickly. If you're adamant to do Black Friday shopping in person, be prepared to get there early. Of the two days, Friday will be the quietest as there will still be people working, but the Saturday will be manic.
7. Give your kids headphones
If you plan to either give or use a device to occupy your child at some point during your shopping trip, even if it's just offering them your own phone, for the love of god buy some kiddie wireless headphones.
This is included for the white noise as well. Because holy hell, people do not understand volume control. I have been one side of the store and able to hear every word of Peppa Pig coming from the other side. It disturbs the entire shop, and is especially frustrating when these customers spend a long time in the store, because we, the retail workers who cannot escape, have to listen to nursery rhymes and stormy rain noises and whatever else for however long it takes for things to be browsed, tried on, discussed, and bought.
We hate it when people play tiktoks in public. Also hate cocomelon in public.
8. Understand why your children are bored and misbehaving
Parents do not realise how awful shopping is for kids.
You are going to different stores, but cannot pick which ones you go into. Your parents are touching things, but you cannot touch them. Your parents are buying things, but you can't have anything. Stay still in this spot with nothing to do. Don't move away. Follow me exactly. Be quiet. Don't be hungry, thirsty, or need the toilet.
The result? Misbehavior and embarrassed, flustered parents! Rinse and repeat several times and now shopping is the Dreaded Activity that parents hate (feel judged, feel like bad parents) and kids loathe (get told off, nothing nice happens)
Suggestion: Give them a list of things to find (a pink jacket, black shoes with laces, a bag of pasta, a purple notebook), ask for their input (do you think Uncle James would wear something like this?), let them safely explore a little (can you go up this aisle and get the flour?), give them the bag to hold, literally think of anything to engage your kid! And understand that if you are out all day, then they are probably getting tired! Have regular breaks! Let them rest!
When kids are wound up, bored, and under-stimulated, they seek things out to do. In my store, that usually manifests in them climbing onto the displays where the mannequins are. I always have to step in (risking the wrath of parents who don't like their children being told off), because this is not safe. There are a lot things that can hurt kids in shops. You will find companies cheap out when fitting stores, resulting in things not being made to withstand the weight of a six-year-old.
Stands are wobbly. Rails will tip over. Here in the UK, a boy was literally killed when a mirror fell on him. By figuring out ways to help keep your kid engaged and happy, you reduce the likelihood of them misbehaving and potentially getting hurt.
What a happy note to end on...
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Fellow retail survivors, feel free to add with more advise!
#ok rant over now sorry#been sitting on this for a while#retail#retail work#retail workers#working retail#black friday#can you tell i don't know how to tag this lol#don't look at any of the grammar or spelling errors i've been staring at this for over an hour#written in stone
