friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

[teaboot]

do u think physical build is an important part of being security? im 5'5 and think i look very timid, but ive seen some entry level security job listings around me that ive been interested in.

I've only been private security for around five years, so I'm still relatively green compared to my colleagues, but I personally am about 5'3" and I've been doing great!

And again, I'm not incredibly experienced, but if I were to make a hire, I'd be prioritizing a number of things before considering height.

Physically you need to be capable of doing your duties without pain- so if you have chronic pain, foot patrol may not be your bag, but CCTV monitoring might work. If you can't drive, being a site manager may not work, but working door duty somewhere local might be.

Physical presence- in regards to 'looking timid'- is something that you can work on if you want to, but sometimes an unassuming appearance is your advantage.

A "problem demographic" (using HEAVY quotations there) for a lot of places like malls and downtown areas is adult women with trauma, addiction, and mental health issues- they're seen by a lot of clients as "crazy ladies" and treated less like people by the general public, and a good number have very good reason not to trust men ESPECIALLY in uniform, but are more often than not perfectly easy to get along with if you're polite, respectful, and don't come off as a threat or authority figure. Being able to offer menstrual products and having resources around the area you can recommend is good, too.

And if I HAVE to move people out from behind buildings and such, saying "fuck off asshole" like folks imagine is NOT as effective as "Hey, sorry, this area is restricted, but here are some other places that might be okay- I need to do another check in about an hour, so heads up, and the church up the street is doing hot chocolate right now".

Really, if you want to do well in security- at least basic work- I'd say you want to focus on the following:

Wear your uniform and keep it tidy

Show up prepared and on time

Be able to approach strangers and talk to them

Keep a positive, non-agressive attitude, and be willing to give people the benefit of the doubt

Learn deescalation techniques to diffuse conflict

Have a strong handle on your personal emotions and opinions

Kerp calm and rational in an emergency

Learn basic first aid and get certified if you can, it's not technically necessary but I've used that more than I'd like to admit

Keep a strong moral compass

Really, I'd say it boils down to keeping to your sense of ethics, showing up on time, and knowing how to follow orders with nuanced interpretation.

Beyond that, you're golden

i think making fun of people for expressing themselves artistically in a fundamentally harmless way is really shitty actually and wish it wasn't such a popular thing to do on tumblr.com

[davaloonie]

I desperately need fics of post s2 jayvik or even an au with s2 jayce and s1 viktor where we explore the change in dynamic after jayce suffers his own leg injury in the anomaly. Im sure people have already seen all the parallels and analyses of jayce and viktor’s injuries, but it’s just a concept really special to me,,,,there’s nothing more beautiful than connecting with someone experiencing a similar struggle—it’s just so much stronger because of your ability to truly empathize with the other. And obviously that’s ignoring allll of jayvik’s history. I just think there’s so much potential there to expand on the possibilities of their relationship.

[poketcg-art]

This may be a stupid question, so obivious feel free to ignore it, but can one post some art for the TCG redraw event even if we are not very good artist? I would love to share something for some Pokémon that are often talked badly but that I still love (maybe Trubbish, Vanillite, Lickilicky, Klinklang, Probopass).

I would love for anyone to submit! :) Its completely up to you, because it will be seen by a lot of people and that can be scary or embarrassing. But I'm excited to just get submissions! I would never discourage someone because they're a beginner.

kaito is a straight jock and higashi is a gay geek and yagami is bisexual and he settles for higashi because theyre the only other gay kids in the school and neither of them can get kaito. but they keep breaking up on and off because they dont actually like eachother. and sometimes yagami feels like he can do better so he dumps higashi and dates mafuyu who is a prep and higashi cries while looking at their myspace photos and then he and yagami get back together and he dumps yagami when he scratches his sims 2 game cube disc. and then when they finally start being stable kaito in the last year of highschool changes his sexuality from straight to heteroflexible and they both start strangling and beating eachother to death over who gets to have him

Thoughts on the Typhlosion allegations/pokemon teraleaks?

Okay, here’s what I’ll say about that. (And fair warning, it is nothing positive)

I think the fandoms reaction to these “leaks” has been absolutely ridiculous. They are not canon, they do not change pre-existing information present in the games and anime. Concept art is interesting, but things that were scrapped and did not appear in the actual media should not be regarded as fact.

Especially the Typhlosion thing, it’s like if jk Rowling said ‘oh yeah at one point in the writing process I thought Harry Potter would be a girl, but I changed my mind’ and the fandom went ‘oh my god Harry’s been a girl this whole time!’ Like no, a lot of work and ideas go into the concept and development of works like these, and then creators pick and choose the best of their ideas and use that, but I think it’s very problematic to judge them on the concepts that they themselves already decided weren’t good enough to use.

I have very strict opinions about what counts as canon, and that very simply is ‘what is in the work itself’. Unused concepts, things a creator said years later online, and really popular headcanons don’t count. They’ll never count, sorry but that’s not how language works, you can’t just redefine canon to encompass anything that maybe could have been a part of the project. It can be super neat to look at what changes could have been made, but it needs to be understood that that does not impact what the actual game is like.

This Typhlosion thing especially, it *could* be neat if people just took the scrapped stories to go “oh yeah the Pokémon world could have had myths and legends similar to our own! That will be interesting to explore in fan works!” But that’s not what the majority of people did. Instead, people took it to mean that somehow all Typhlosion are secretly evil and shouldn’t be left alone with children and anyone who has one or likes that Pokémon should be ridiculed based on nothing.

Because the stuff that in those leaks (baring things about unreleased games) are nothing. Looking at them in the sense of seeing ‘How It’s Made’ is interesting, fine go for it yeah sure, but they have absolutely no bearing on the actual franchise itself. And I have no patience for the people taking them as gospel and insisting they be considered more true over the actual canon.

*looks at Chloe and Sabrina* what if I make them intresting. what if I make them complicated and messy

kind of like AU??? Not canon certaintly

Chloe, who always got everything she wanted. She can have as many fancy jewelry, trendy clothes, new boats, and gorgeous accessories as she wants. She lives in the most prestigious hotel in Paris, if not the whole of France. Her room is bigger than the flats of some of her poor classmates. She has money, and so she can have everything she wants, as long as she can buy it.

Except subjects. She doesn't have subjects. She has hotel staff, she can order around some of her classmates - and yet it's not...It's not right. It's not the same. She wants...She needs a personal devotion to her and only her. She needs subjects that are loyal to her and not for her money. She doesn't really understand the difference but she knows that she can buy whoever she wants, but they won't be hers.

Her butler is the closest she has to the right servant. He knows what to do before she can even say it. When Chloe has a bad day, he gets her ice cream and puts on her favourite TV show. He drives her around to the most prestigious shops and holds her bags with new and expensive clothes. He stays with her even when she fires him.

Chloe believes it's because of her money. But deep down, she knows it's something more. She has known Jean-Luke since she was a small baby. He sees her more than her father does. Sometimes, he feels like more of a parent than a butler.

And then she meets Sabrina.

Sabrina, who stays with her no matter what. Who executes her plans - perhaps not always successfully, but nonetheless with no judgment. She plays all stupid games with her, she goes to the same shops as she and she carries her bags. She knows her favourite colour and that she doesn't like strawberries. She knows she likes honey crackers, despite them being cheaper than what she usually prefers.

Sabrina devoted to her - just the right amount. Just the right loyalty.

***

Since she was a little kid, Sabrina knew that the world is a cruel place. You are either born into a good position, or you aren't. You may stay at the bottom of the things or you can claw your way into a good position, that always will be worse than those who were born into it.

Sabrina is unlucky: her mother died when she was young. She is shy and doesn't have a lot of friends. She isn't particularly crafty or academically smart: her grades are just above the average, just enough to fool everyone that she is still smart enough. And she is. But not the Max-computer-genius smart

But Sabrina is also lucky: she knows how the world works and she doesn't have the same stupid optimism as her classmates, that if you believe hard enough you will get everything you want.

She also understands people. She knows how they work and for what reason they behave. She senses the true identity behind the everyday masks people put on to fool everyone and themselves. And in certain circumstances. If she plays her cards right. She can use those people to get a better position in life.

So, when she sees Chloe - she devotes herself to her. Because she senses that Chloe tries to buy off her loneliness with material objects. She knows that it doesn't always work, not to the extent Chloe wants. Sabrina knows that what Chloe wants and needs - is a loyal friend.

And Sabrina becomes this friend.

Soon enough, her father gets a promotion. Soon enough, her wardrobe is full of expensive clothes that Chloe doesn't wear anymore. Soon enough, she is invited to all the places she wouldn't even dream of visiting.

And well...she also gets to see a rare sight of Chloe, that no one, not even her father or butler have ever seen. And this side - this poor, crying mess, that believes that no one will ever love her - this is perhaps the best gift of them all.

Sabrina stays loyal to Chloe. Chloe gets a loyal subject. This is what everyone sees. This is not what it actually is.

You know what I have yet to see in any fics where Danny is biologically related to either Bruce and Damian or one of the other batboys? The Mansons attempting to use that to their advantage and enhance their public image.

Either by spouting false praises and lying about being in Danny's corner while interacting with Bruce and his sons, or after discovering Danny's true heritage being the ones to take him in after a bad reveal in the hopes of getting into Bruce's inner circle.

Many usually gravitate towards Vlad as the abusive foster or guardian Danny needs to be rescued from, but his best friend's snooty parents that regularly look down on him just because of the elder Fenton's antics and reputation would do just as nicely.

Just imagine the comedy gold of Jeremy and Pamela barely masking their disdain for their daughter's "troubled friend" by pretending to dote on him while in Bruce's presence during a gala. Not realizing that Bruce along with every other Wayne in attendance can see right through them and is simply humoring them as well as biding his time.

Or if angst (hopefully followed by some comfort) is more your thing maybe have Danny, still reeling from Jack and Maddy's rejection latch on to the Mansons out of desperation for an adult he can trust and start believing they've had a genuine change of heart and come to care for him despite both Sam and Ida continually telling him otherwise. Only to feel the sting of betrayal a second time when while at a gathering Bruce or one of his boys approaches and tells him the Mansons are just using him to get in their good graces then show proof when Danny tries to deny it.

I think it's very funny we don't TECHNICALLY have an autism diagnosis, but almost every medical professional we've ever interacted with has immediately gone "so. autism." including one having literally put it on our file or like put "needs support, likely ASD" which effects how people interact with us medically (good and bad) so ??? self diagnosed but with added peer review and every other person ever knowing ???

never kill yourself. a $15 talk on something you don’t know enough about at a local tradesman’s community has the ability to change your life

WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM LMAO

[monachopsis-11]

I will never understand how judgmental people are, from the annoyed and confused looks I get when ordering food (I am a very selective eater and order things without sauce and vegetables most of the time) to the comments I hear my mom make about my sisters friends “oh yeah she would barely talk to me and froze when I asked her about food so I kept asking it was really weird” Okay and?

It’s not hurting them, it’s barely even affecting them so I have no idea why they care.

Let people eat what they want or not eat, a lot of people have complex relationships with food and pushing or judging them isn’t going to help. And this is just one example but there are so many, especially with disability related things (or at least things that could be disability related) that I see in my life, often they’re things that I have done to people as well.

“They didn’t even say hi or make eye contact!” about a stranger “So what? I do that” “no you’re different” etc.

But I’m not different you just don’t see that side of me or know me well enough to excuse it.

It’s the same kind of energy I get when I sit in an accessible seat as an eighteen year old who doesn’t appear disabled.

Like if I see someone behaving ‘weirdly’ in public I don’t wonder what’s wrong with them or try to avoid them I wonder if they’re overstimulated or have some kind of trauma or something that makes the environment difficult for them.

If someone is short to me or not overly talkative in a customer service situation as long as they’re not actually rude I just assume they’re having a bad day and I don’t understand why this is so hard for other people. It’s like they forget that everyone else has a life and experience as complex and challenging as their own.

And maybe a majority of the people I am kind toward or who I give the benefit of the doubt to are actually just being rude or judgmental or generally not being very nice/respectful but that’s not who I want to be.

I’d rather give the benefit of the doubt to 99 people that didn’t deserve it than judge or harass one person who did because when you’re the one struggling that does so much harm.

Honestly just be kind and leave people alone, they probably don’t deserve the intention and harassment you’re assigning to them and even if they do that’s not your place to decide if they haven’t done anything to you.

You aren’t doing anyone a service you’re wasting energy judging and harassing people who are just trying to live their lives.

I just really wish more people could be kind.
