The problem with being part of new fandoms and only being on Tumblr is that I run out of not only Canon content but also fan stuff to consume

shut up

I loooove the jp fandom's headcanon that geeta and larry are childhood friends who met during their time in the academy and, sometime in the future, geeta personally recruited larry to work for the paldean pokemon league, as she must be one of the first people who knew of his prowess in pokemon battling! Like yeah, the whole geeta being a "strict boss who is frustrated by larry's stubborn insistence to be an average worker that she has to assign him different workloads just to broaden his horizon" idea is intriguing, but stepping it up a notch by making geeta be the "best friend a.k.a the only one who has seen larry at his very best and his very worst, and knows for a fact that he could excel at anything he put his mind into if he steps out of his comfort zone, so she doesn't particularly drag him out of said zone, but pushes him out of it each time she can because she can't bear to see her best friend be unaware of the good chances and positive things that awaits him out there, not if she has a (small) say in it" is also downright hilarious 😭🤚

There's just something so ?¿? about how I'm only able to actively work on this project when I'm at objectively the lowest points of my life (deepest depression, lonely, unemployed, no income, lot of time) and only because I have family that I can be wholly financially dependent on. All of the work I've done is cool and an accomplishment but also nearly the entire time spent on it I've felt like a failure because I can't do anything else.

But when I'm working full time and even when I love my job and coworkers, I am so tired I can't do any art or anything after work, and then I seemingly out of nowhere have a meltdown and quit. Idk. Something here about needing art to live but not being able to live off making art and the disparate ways art is tied to survival

Okay but has anybody made a CrocHawk Beauty and the Beast AU

What I really love about the Vees + Angel dynamic is that if Angel does get redeemed or even just finds a way out of his contract, they are FUCKED and they don't even know it. They don't get it.

Angel is, most likely, their top earner. He's famous as shit, won accolades for his work, and judging by the way his face is the only non-Vee mug pasted on their building's lobby, he's the real breadwinner here. Trends come and go but Angel Dust is fucking here to stay. Yet none of them really seem to take that into account. Sure, Velvette + Vox work to keep him under Val's abusive control, what with the perfume + cameras in his room, but the question of "if sinners CAN be redeemed, and Angel is the poster boy for that hotel, what does that mean for us?" never gets addressed. They are all so short-sighted in their dickishness, so fucking petty, that the only thing they give a shit about is (a) Alastor being back + (b) Angel pissing off Val for daring to leave the studio + daring to have someone who gives a shit about him vouch for him at the studio. Your empire is a house of cards, Angel is the bottom corner of the pyramid, and every little temper tantrum thrown is a gust of wind. I am literally waiting with the popcorn to see it tumble

AI finally came for my job so guess who got laid oooooooooooff

even though i have LOADS of experience copy-editing so I'd be a perfect fit even in the neutered version of my job, unfortunately the unofficial COO (the ceo's fucking girlfriend) is on a power trip, and as she's a former floridian fundie i think she took umbrage to the fact i was working while openly queer and trans so off i went

maybe i can focus on writing again :/

[meggie-moo]

ai people are SO annoying, like the animators of into the spider verse, came out saying they were not treated right (which happens SO much. people don’t like talking about it, but marvel has had such a bad history with mistreating employees, if it’s animators, actors, etc. animators in general are usually mistreated though, regardless of the company), and instead of backing them up, people are saying, “just use ai”

like?? instead of just treating them better?? into the spider verse is so amazing because of its animation. like truly so much work was put into it, and it really paid off. the fact that they’re already making the next movie is fucking wild. like idk, it’s just so gross that people would rather have a movie either created by ai, or have workers be mistreated, just to have another marvel movie, rather than having to wait a little longer, and having the movie be the best that it can be.

Ah fuck it, I lied! I won't be migrating to pillowfort completely. I just do not have the brainpower to maintain two things at once. I would still encourage people to sign up and at the very least snag your current username because I *really* think Automattic has a good chance of ruining tumblr or shuttering it because they can't make money off of it.

For now it's just going to be crossposting when I remember.

[runthepockets]

After my last job I don't even want to work anymore. Every place is the same thing, same shitty corporate Amazon model (or at least trying to be), same lack of work/life balance, same me bullshitting and pretending I give a fuck about whether or not the general public is cranky cus they can't find cashews they like. Like why do we do this to ourselves. To make rent? To buy food?

[lesbiansanemi]

Me: maybe 8 days off will fix me, maybe going back to work won’t be so bad. It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s alright

Also me: *is at work for less than two hours and already Wants to Die* Ah. Great.

Idk what anyones talking about, I think in a relationship you should be partners, equal. That doesn't mean you do everything equally much, it means you both should be equally important to eachother and get equally much say in things. I think in a good relationship you should strive to feel safe, happy, fulfilled, and loved. If you don't feel those things, you can work on them together and if it doesn't work like you can't find compromises that makes both of you happy then you're not a good fit. And this means that if a woman wants to stay at home and be a housewife, and the man wants to work, and this dynamic makes both of them feel safe, happy, fulfilled and loved then that is the perfect thing for them. This isn't the case for a lot of couples though, some women don't like staying at home doing chores, and some men prefer to do just that. They can also have a good relationship, because a relationship doesn't rely on what job you do, but rather how you feel about eachother. Does the relationship make you feel safe, or scared? Happy, or sad, anxious and stressed? Does it make you feel fulfilled or are you longing for something else? The most important part is to feel loved, because feeling loved means feeling important to the other person and feeling appreciated, that what you bring to the relationship is appreiacted and that you matter. This can influence the other emotions, it can make you feel happy and safe and fulfilled. Love is very important in a relationship and I don't think that's news to anyone. Being equal is about both parties feeling these things towards eachother, and working this out to make your relationship as good as possible is what being partners is about. Doesn't matter who cooks the food, who fixes the car, those things aren't important.

when someone speaks about some discourse or other and you honestly agree with their points but the way they phrase it is so obnoxious and dumb

[timeisacephalopod]

Its real strange when Americans especially (meaning politicians, less citizens but them too sometimes) say socialism doesn't work because how the hell would you even know. Half the shit American politcians describe as socialism isn't socialism, and often they treat those things like the sky will fall if they're implemented (like healthcare. Ignore Canada right above you. Lie about how our system works by telling people you need to wait years to see Drs about life threatening issues when you only get waitlisted for specialists and not for years either, it's generally a few months. Not ideal but not what American politicians say either. Ignore every other country with universal healthcare better than Canada's, which is everyone's, because there's no need to even lie about those after making the country above you look bad for not charging 80K to look at a band-aid, which is somehow an improvement to waitlists like the poor won't just die instead of seeing a dr).

Not to mention the US has invaded so many countries with politics farther left then theirs just to install right wing terrorists and then get mad when some of those terrorists they straight up funded do a 9/11 to them like they have slaughtered thousands to "spread democracy" by overthrowing democratically elected leaders all over the world for being "too socialist" or communist so how do you know socialism doesn't work? If it doesn't it's because America specifically has never allowed it to, like you can't invade every single country that does things mildly different, completely destroy them, and then say "see socialism doesn't work!" like you had nothing to do with the collapse of that system???? It's literally the meme of Eric Andre shooting that guy and being like "how come socialism didn't work!" like they didn't just shoot socialism in the face in cold blood. And also capitalism doesn't need to work at all in any way, efficient or not, for everyone to defend it to the hilt so like ok who cares if socialism works if you don't care that capitalism doesn't and you defend it anyway? Clearly "works" isn't a prerequisite to using that system so that's not even an argument worth bringing up at that point.
