I don’t know who might need to hear this announcement in this Virtual Chili’s tonight, but:
The goal of your first draft isn’t to make the story GOOD.
It’s to get the story TOLD.
#writing#fanfiction#fiction#both are good#both apply#i hear screenwriters say this#novelists say this#journalists say this#paid and unpaid#for love and for money#it’s the same it’s the same#get it down get it told#you can’t fix a blank page#you can’t edit words you didn’t say#everyone’s first drafts are shit#every writer director says it#every author storyteller says it#get it down get it down#say ‘yes this sucks it will be better later’

maddie’s pregnancy storyline really opened my eyes to the us healthcare system because what do you mean she’s over 42 weeks pregnant and hasn’t been induced yet?????? what do you mean she’s over 42 weeks pregnant and still at wORK?????? what do you mean she doesn’t get 6 months maternity leave after jee is born????????????
#I literally do not know a single woman who went more than 10 days past their due date#bc that’s when doctors will usually induce labour here#and by law you actually *have to* start your mat leave 2 weeks before your due date#then it’s 6 months paid plus unpaid parental leave after that if you want#I’ll never forget watching the ep she goes back#to work and googling maternity leave entitlements in America#911 rewatch

Unlicensed family therapy!
A continuation of the second drawing in this post. It's also based on a stock photo
#ninjago#ninjago fanart#ninjago akita#ninjago lloyd#ninjago morro#lloyd garmadon#akita doesn't get paid enough for this (she is unpaid)#fun fact: originally morro was commenting on his own background music#I only changed it because the text bubble was too big#my favorite detail is akita drawing herself brutally murdering these green idiots

CURSE!Tsumiki AU 👻
Curse!Tsumiki is kind of like Rika but not hostile, In this AU. Curse!Tsumiki is child turned curse after death. Toji found her wandering around and decided to keep her around (kind of like wormie). Megumi meets Curse!Tsumiki when Toji had to leave for a job and couldn't find a babysitter. Curse!Tsumiki learns to call Toji 'Papa' when she hears MUCH younger Megumi call him that. Curse!Tsumiki took care of Megumi most of the time before Gojo Satoru came and took them both in.
#Another AU in the chat#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#gojo satoru#megumi fushiguro#fushiguro tsumiki#My sister be mass producing these much AU ideas and makes ME the unpaid (actually no I am not even PAID) intern who makes them for her#I didn't pick the colors it was someone else#that is the ugliest shirt I've ever seen i swear#curse!tsumiki AU 👻

Mouthwashing sketchbook study
#mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#it’s not the main thing of the game but have been turning daisuke’s situation in my head for days#just as the only non-white and certainly unpaid or paid for in exp or room and board and his non-exisitant provided rations#ofc all of the Tulpar’s crew are exploited by late stage capatlism but it does have a resononse with Misgony devaluing Anya’s labor as a#nurse and Daisuke both from his youth and racialization being exploited as the least provided for/ with literal accomidations on the ship#and then how his death is explictly so jimmy can access Anya and Curly where his temperment+ place in the heirarchy make him disposable#in order to ‘save’ in jimmy’s eyes a white man and women#just that his death is ofc most sailently b/c of Jimmy’s unwilliness to face his wrong doings but secondly and perhaps unconsously impacte#by his youth+ race outside of the text lining up with how poc are devalued and the some of first to be sacraficed in order to keep things#going

Do... do I go with the username for the running gag of "worst kept secret" or do I say fuck it and say magister Merlin for giggles to see his reaction
#afk merlin#afk shakir#afk journey story#afk journey#fun fact my username isn't my merlin's name in story#his name is actually Emrys#because. historical references and. bbc merlin brainrot.#Another hilarious fact: Emrys is so done with everyone#King wants to go into a thousand year nap after this is all done#Emrys is NOT paid enough for this#“the greater good” Emrys: I am being guilt tripped#Emrys: I can't even unionize for this unpaid heroism work because my familiars would cry if I mentioned I didn't want to do this#at least he gets to meet Dionel#fun fact: if there was an option for Emrys to ask Dionel if he could just stay#he would take it#he would stay in the moon temple with Dionel#Emrys “I can't say no to helping because Guilt” Magister “I will expend myself beyond my reasonable capabilities because I see no other#option in these trying times“ Merlin

Wait, what do the neighbours do to more or less get money? Like what do they do for quests wise?
Howdy's tavern has a board where people can post jobs/quest requests - a lot like in Fairy Tail! a lot of times requests are sent in the mail to any tavern/area that will post them, so you gotta be quick about responding before anyone else does. if the posting was sent in, they have to reply via some form of message to confirm it and essentially say "dont let anyone else take the job, i'm/we're on my/our way"
the quests/jobs have a wide range. sometimes its like "collect this item for me", sometimes its "bodyguard me & my belongings while i travel", and it can be "kill the monster terrorizing my town." it can be anything! it's a mixed bag!
and its a little risky, too. the job postings arent always... In Depth. one time the Neighborhood rushed somewhere because the posting just said HUGE EMERGENCY, LIVES IN DANGER but in reality it was an elderly farmer who had them build a new coop for her chickens before the winter frost. then another time it was all "id like help with a small issue at our town's border" and then the Neighborhood got there and it was a fuckoff huge dragon that they were Not prepared to handle.
the Neighborhood doesnt just take job postings though! their travels often take a while because they'll get into shenanigans/trouble, or in completing one job something else will be asked of them, etc. they also don't always do it for money. if someone's in trouble while they're traveling, theyre gonna help without asking for compensation.
#sometimes their jobs/quests start at home base#sometimes they have to travel#sometimes someone will even arrive asking specifically for them!#the length of their travels also varies wildly#sometimes its a couple days#sometimes its a couple months#one time they didnt return to home base for a year#now THAT was an adventure#rambles from the bog#wh fantasy au#the neighborhood is known for being capable and very helpful#so theyre lowkey celebrities! theyre the pride of their lil town <3#but yeah their skills and time tends to be in high demand#people will sometimes send their requests specifically to howdy's tavern#in the hopes of the neighborhood picking it up#but yeah honestly they do more Unpaid stuff than paid#they're always doing a coin check - who has what & can they afford a hot meal at an inn#all of them crouched in a circle counting out their collective money after a completed job#thats why theyre always happy when howdy joins - he rakes in So much extra shine#also hes their friend. but with him around they can afford to sleep in beds#oh my god howdy is the neighborhoods sugar daddy#sugarpillar....

i had some absences at work recently and my job used the pre-approved PTO for my trip to the convention in houston that i requested literally 6 months in advance. the real kicker is that they didn't even bother to inform me that they were doing it. no heads up at all. i only found out cuz i excitedly brought up my trip to my manager and she was like "erm... about that..." 😂
i spent nearly $300 on the tickets and the rental car is even more. i'm genuinely so pissed off that i have to sit my big ass in this chair and continue working like they didn't just put my whole shit in jeopardy like.... but then again after the scathing message i just sent to HR, maybe i won't have to worry about it for long lmao.
#no one felt the need to give me a fuckin heads up at least? the bitch in HR just passive agressively sent me a link to the employee handbook#“it shows that you signed on this date stating that you read the handbook”#and i did read the whole thing when i was hired#but i said “i didnt realize i was also expected to memorize it line by line”#oh the policy is that PTO has to be used before unpaid time which is what i had requested bc i ran out of PTO#so why didnt you tell me that it was against policy when i requested it???????????? am i going crazy?????????????#they literally let me sit here thinking i was covered and now its 2 weeks out from my trip and im not gonna be paid#AND HOW IS PRE-APPROVED PTO NOT CONSIDERED USED??????????????????? jesus christ#it was no longer included in my PTO balance.......am i missing something?#sorry for venting im just so sick of never catching a break

My favorite part of running Royal Archivist is definitely reading the tags people put in their reblogs. I really love seeing people react to goofy bits or wild lore, it's just fun seeing people crack jokes or roast their streamer or have the same reaction I did while watching stream.
This blog (and the VOD Timestamp Archive) take up a lot of time and energy I don't really have, but seeing everyone's tags and seeing the kind messages I get every once in a while thanking me for my work make me so :'))))) I know MCYT fandoms tend to have a bad rap, but everyone who interacts with Royal Archivist has genuinely so kind and funny (with one or two exceptions) and it's really nice to see. I love seeing the love people have for QSMP.
#mod talk#Your friendly neighborhood Archivist is having a rough one but I just got a very sweet message and it made me smile#I'm very bad at responding to messages I'm so sorry OTL#Tumblr doesn't notify me half the time and the other half my ADHD nerfs me and I forget that I haven't responded to someone#But anyways#I really do work hard to do good edits and good clips but sometimes I'm working on an edit at 2am like#''Why am I doing this. QSMP should hire me. I feel like an unpaid intern all over again.''#''I could do so much more work if this was my actual job I was getting paid for''#lmao#Ah well it's good video editing practice at the very least

Really bad intrusive thoughts keeping me up and a google search on how to deal with them comes up with like. Be mindful and label them :) don’t worry about their contents :) which is Easy To Say When You’re Some Quora Bastard And Not Me (The Suffering Guy)
But I log into tumblr and see that I gotta live long enough to see the cybertrucks start rusting… thank you tumblr for knowing that when loving is not enough, haterism will keep me alive
#also that post about how you can’t let Israel outlive you. is part of this too#crows ramblings#negative#seriously though some bad shit tonight#if anyone has any advice as to how I can maintain a sense of self worth when actively not getting paid for labor#i’d appreciate it#I know there’s a lot about me that is worthwhile but it just doesn’t feel like any of that translates into money#and doing unpaid work and being told to ‘Just Use AI’ really makes me feel bad

Being a disabled unpaid intern for school is a torture that involves all 5 stages of grief multiple times per day as well as daily pain-crash naps. Please send help
#emailed some accommodations and internship staff to try and see if we can figure something out#16 hours unpaid a week plus 4 hrs paid at my job is wayyyy too much esp with an unpredictable schedule#helppppp
