me when my meteor-powered robot gf attempts to murder me 😳😳
#context:#after Bortom city recognized Beatrix as a threat and began persecuting her‚ she became widely known#A great reward would be given to those who captured the runaway android‚ and most people feared her.#To sum it up‚ she was alone in her journey and refusing to trust anyone so easily.#The persecutions got worse when more cities allied themselves with Bortom. This attracted robot hunters.#At some point‚ Beatrix met this golden-eyed‚ humanoid shadow that always seemed to watch her from afar#It wouldn't stop following her‚ until it was close enough to initiate a confrontation#Beatrix was basically FED UP with the persecutions and so she fought using her fists... while he had a gun.#The bullets couldn't cause great damage‚ and were actually microchips designed to stunt robotic enemies#Beatrix barely resisted the effects and managed to take down the other... who raised its hands in defeat.#Imagine the situation: She's literally got him on the ground‚ fist raised to deliver a powerful blow while he's SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS#Turns out the microchips take effect‚ and Beatrix attempts to escape before it's too late... But her systems go off abruptly#...Then she wakes up in this cozy workshop of sorts. She goes outside and BOOM!!!#A ship moved by machinery? Robots living peacefully? People walking past her without batting an eye? This must be a dream!#She's finally found Fusionsprunt (or was found but it). The city built for and by rebells like her.#and about the golden-eyed enemy? yeah uh. that's Hunter. of course that was Hunter. he could NOT resist making a dramatic appearance.#the mysterious enemy is actually just some silly guy w workaholic tendencies father of a prodigy and who also enjoys piloting his spaceship#fusionsprunt#fusionsprunt hunter#fusionsprunt beatrix

Little bright colored outfit with a fun vest ~
(shoes from ebay like 10 years ago. everything else is thrifted)
#ootd#jfashion#fashion#fantasy fashion#mori kei#....like... adjacent... lol#no idea what style this would be lol.. makes me think of like whimsical vaguely fantasy themed childrens book character#finally posting one of my aforementioned seven million drafts of actual outfits and costumes i have finished and edited#the photos for but just never feel like posting lol..#I need to find one of those people whos like 'omg i am ADDICTED to social media ugh i wish i could get off of it#im just browsing and posting like 60 times a daaaaay!!!' and take a little magical bottle and suck some of the social media#enthusiasim out of them. for moi. In exchange they can have some of my 'literally just never in the mood to post or interact with the#outside world ever' energy. We can balance each other. huzzah and so on#Though I think maybe it's part of the general thing I've heard of like.. I can't remember if it was in reference to adhd or just some sort#of general execcutive functioning issue type of thing - but the idea that things have to be ''just right'' before you do something. like#'oh i need to do this task. but i have to wait until XYZ first' or 'oh i can do this but only if X specific condition is met' or etc#The fact that I even have to be in a Specific Mindset to post. or sometimes will delay posting on social media because like 'oh well#I'm going somewhere tomorrow. somehow this matters. i cannot spend 5 minuts posting TONIGHT. clearly it will interfere#somehow schedule wise with the doctor appointment i have 15 hours from now. yes. yes. i must wait until my appointment is over#tomorrow afternoon. THEN i shall post' or etc. etc. lol. NOT even taking into account the many days#I just genuinely and physically sick and it's not even a mental thing. I just physically dont feel like sitting at the computer lol..#ANYWAY.. trying to get back into it. trying to get a business bank account.. make a proper paypal so i can start selling sculptures again.#selling clothes and sculptures.. posting about such things then of course as one must. etc... chanting to hype up and motivate myself lol#But yes. this is my favorite outfit out of the bunch so I am posting it first I guess.. maybe others later..#Also the purple dress says its from shein. which I've heard is bad fast fashion stuff. but maybe okay since its second hand? I havent#been to the bins since like 2020 or late 2019 even. and I think stuff like shein and temu has only become poular in the past few years#but I bet if I went to the bins now I might would find a good handfull of that stuff. Probably now not much different than what you#find in a walmart or a forever 21 or actual physical stores you can go to though. I hear quality of clothing is down everywhere no matter#where you get it or whatnot. What bountiful joys unfettered capitalism and exploitation bestows upon us (<being sarcastic).#Wearing one of my favorite little vests though. I love the texture of it and the clasps on it

End of Empathy (time for violence)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan jingyi#jin ling#lan sizhui#We are back to the present! Honestly I think I'm going to try and truncate the rest of this arc.#I LOVE yi-city and I really appreciate all of the support the yi-city lovers have given me. And the patience of those who aren't.#But it's been two months. And I need to move this along </3#Anyways; I love the start of ep 3 so much. The worried concern of the juniors is so cute#but the crown jewel by far is wwx responding like a parent that's very hungover but trying so hard to be nice about it#like 'shhh shhhh guys hi I'm up now. Can you keep the volume down. Can you get me some water and my sunglasses from the glovebox.'#and of course the incredible wham line of 'Xue Yang Must Die.'#'Is YX irredeemable? I'm pro 'everyone is capable of change and deserves a chance.' So Im of the camp of 'if he had the opportunity...maybe#The issue is that this setting has no structure to provide those opportunities. You are perceived as a threat therefor you must die#XY is a very interesting parallel to the YLLZ because they both meet the same fate: outsiders determining that they need to be killed#plus both did war crimes. I know it's easy to forget the YLLZ actually did do some of the things he was accused of (most wrong)#but wwx also has blood on his hands. He also sought revenge in pretty twisted ways. Both were given opportunities to step away and refused#The difference is that we empathize with and like XXC & SL and A-Qing. The Narrative says they were wronged and that is an injustice.'

"other guys joke that theyre not allowed to bring you around their wives..." "you gotta have to ask ekky about that one thats on him"
WSFL Inside South Florida | 4.11.24 (x)
he was so serious and focused on answering questions and then immediately gets thrown a curveball at the end that is "hey so some are saying...im not saying who... but some not naming any names... HOWEVER that you are so hot possibly sans shirt... you are not allowed near the wags... how do you respond is this true..."
throwing his head back to laugh because he got his bonded dpair's quote thrown back in his face while trying to talk about contract extensions and fishing...
"thats on him" the way he cheekily shrugs a shoulder and flicks his head...man whos well aware who started that rumour and will not stand idly by while revisionists rewrite history NO ONE ELSE HAS SAID SUCH A THING. NO ONE ELSE HAS JOKED ABOUT SUCH A THING. AND IF THEY "HAVE" ITS ONLY BECAUSE OF ONE (1) MAN AND ONE MAN ALONE.
and it was in fact "on him" because that quote comes from a miami herald article about forsy FROM FEBRUARY. A 2 WHOLE MONTHS BEFORE THIS INTERVIEW.
Miami Herald | 2.10.24 (x)
and like all things it always leads back to ekky when it comes to anything forsy-related, the personal menace of the team. and also his bonded soulmate or whatever. may god bless this beautiful little freakish relationship.
#gustav forsling#aaron ekblad#florida panthers#2324#they are so insane about each other it will never not leave me aghast#“other guys joke” NO ONE ELSE JOKES ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING BUT EKKY#love forsy going nono. only ekky says things like this. you have to ask the source this question to get the answer you want.#“it is out of my hands. for thirst explanations you must go to the source of the thirsting in the first place. my d partner.”#the d in d partner stands for- (train drives by)#ahem i of course mean to say d is for destined#destined partners#no one has done more propaganda for how hot forsy is but ekky himself#and by god its working hes got me sold#also “so ive been told” WHO. WHO WENT UP TO THIS INTERVIEWER AND SAID THESE THINGS WHO SABATOGED FORSY FROM THE STATE#considering it looks like filming took place after practise/training at the iceplex i would not be surprised if the boys were aware of it#and ekky just goes hey guys check this out- and just saunters over to make niceties and then drop that on her#like hey you should ask him about...#the lore thickens#im sorry this is all so funny#also can i just say forsy in a backwards cap ZOOWEEMAMA AWOAWOO

dyke!Chilaios has me understanding breeding kink all of a sudden
#chilaios#that's a lie i understand breeding kink very well lmao#HOWEVER IT MUST BE SAID#they finish up a great scene. hot lesbian sex. all going well.#and laios lies back with her eyes closed. still flushed and sweaty. she rests her naked hand on her naked lower stomach and says. 'hah....#'did you know ...that tallmen and halflings can have kids together?' Like its just another fun monster fact.#she's trailing her fingers absentmindedly over her stomach now. tracing idle patterns.#'with our lifespans being so similar it isn't even as big a deal as it is for elves and humans. they're even fertile and that's ...#that's really rare for hybrids.' her eyes are still closed. she swallows hard. She's more red now than she was when they fucked.#'you should talk about that next time you're in me. i'd like it...' and she cracks one eye open a sliver#to see chilchuck . BEET. RED.#because Chilchuck DID NOT. KNOW.#She was already fucked out and now she's dying?? she's dying. Laios still has her huge hand resting on her huge smooth stomach#miles and miles of soft skin...that she wants chilchuck to put a BABY in#she's thought about the hypothetical lifespan and safety of the hypothetical baby! is this just a sex thing? is this a for real thing?#chilchuck does not know and does not know which one she's hoping for now!! cause both sound GREAT#AND OF COURSE THERE'S ALSO#chilchuck remembering that conversaion next time Laios's huge huge fingers are inside her. Laios's hot wet breathing by her ear.#Laios's breathing going ragged even though no one is touching HER she is the one toying with Chilchuck right now. She always does that.#between the breathing and the fingers and the warmth and the smell Laios is all around her and she just thinks -#'Laios is so huge. Laios's baby would be so huge. I'd be so huge. Pregnant with it.' And she cums.#rattles her to her fucking core. Chilchuck who HAS BEEN PREGNANT BEFORE realising. holy shit.#i want this fluffy haired socially awkward 26 year old doggirl to . to fuck a baby into me. in a sexy way.#i think . I think it's hot.#enough to turn you to drink isn't it!#u may ask - hey how come chilchuck has a girlcock and has got pregnant? can laios get chilchuck pregnant?#does anyone even have a womb in this situation? I may answer - don't worry about it#a wizard did it. whatever. its a fantasy world.#whatever is sexiest in the moment i don't care#lesbiance

this nemesis ambition started out a little slow but I am getting closer to finding that bastard who killed my wife, and I’ll not rest a minute now that im far closer to on his trail
sorry got in character for a second
Anyways fun ambition so far very fucked up though
congratulations on joining the murder club anon!!!! depending on who you ask the name refers to either people who have murdered or people who have witnessed murder. usually both. actually extremely often both. it's a swell time you'll feel right at home (don't mind our collective skyglass knife collection in the back)
#im still not far into nemesis personally but im very much enjoying it#honestly in a weird way it feels like it's moving faster than HD did. which. is funny bc nemesis is like The gated behind item grinds quest#idk. HD was a fun slowburn where we adventured around gathering our rogues gallery before the action kicked in#nemesis on the other hand feels like im picking up halfway through a batman serial#fallen london#ask#it's WAY more fucked up right off the bat than HD was. honestly ive thought abt red honey for ages. that's so fucked up#and we LEAD with that?? Okay#definitely a horrors-filled ambition befitting caeru (the guy who's constantly going through horrors)#it really encourages you to get fucked up and freaky and in ur character's headspace at basically every step along the way#i only have HD to compare it too but HD was like. a lot more interpretative in comparison? at least to me. that's what it felt like#and i adore HD for that dont get me wrong here#HD just also waited until like. halfway through before it asked what the scoundrel actually Wanted out of its heart's desire#nemesis in comparison is right off the bat who died? who are you mourning? anguish. justice. there must be vengeance.#it's a delightfully different vibe!! i like it!!!#oh god sorry anon im doing the classic yin talking way too much in the tags thing again#i havent had much excuse to talk abt nemesis and what i think of it so far and of course its rp effects on caeru#but i do have a handful of thoughts on it#it's good. im liking it so far. it's starting very strong if nothing else. and i have no spoiler knowledge of what happens in the future#beyond the choice between rewards at the very end#and im SO curious how we'll get to that point. what horrors will we adventure through next? off we go to find out!#it's biggest glaring weakness so far is how horrendously grindy it is. and like. ive been warned and done my research ahead of time#im doing it on the same account im seeking. i knew what i was getting into. but also gots damn.#in comparison HD's 5-card lodgings and dreamgate feel like footnotes#anyway while im already way too deep into rambling did you know the honey trip gives you fate?? insane. why does it do that. hilarious even

ANYWAY in my perfect world, garth doesn't pass on the aqualad name to jackson because 1. aqualad isn't a symbol stop making them batfam dc are you listening to me dc do you he- and 2. while garth is fond of the name, he also thinks it's embarrassing because of his trauma SO instead jackson should be the one to Ask for the name.
jackson, who looks up to arthur and garth, and really, really doesn't want to be associated with black manta, makes the decision to ask for the name aqualad, because to him it's a symbol of Good. garth, who hates when people look down on him because of his past as aqualad, should be like "are you fucking serious right now". and while i still think jackson should have a Different hero name, if they're really stuck on aqualad, then garth can agree. this helps jackson feel like he truly belongs, that they trust him, that he's not like his father, etc. and it helps affirm to garth that his existence as aqualad actually meant something and he wasn't just aquaman's lame sidekick.
after that obviously garth should become a mentor figure to jackson. Not a second dad or even an older brother figure, though i am slightly more agreeable to the latter, but a mentor who helps him and is There for him. even if garth didn't care about jackson in the slightest, you can't convince me that he would just ignore this kid.
#garth never really got the chance to be an older brother :/#jr died too young koryak hates him etcetc#garth understands all too well the feeling of family legacy and trauma#he wouldnt give this kid his name and then ignore him fuck you dc !!!#i mean again i dont think the name aqualad Should be passed down but if it must#garth of shayeris#okay i reread it and jackson Did Not know about black manta at that point but honestly my point still stands#he shouldnt have been given the name right after they met either so it can be a gradual upgrade#maybe he even asks for the name After he finds out the truth because he's angry and feeling bad about himself#this would also give garth reason to actually want to hand it over - a young kid going through an identity crisis because his family sucks?#of course garth would understand

Errant PM update of the day:
yesterday she met with a client and got revisions for their site that needed to be done for today since the client has to use this new stuff in another meeting
she did them herself instead of assigning them to the proper team (something that sounds nice but is actually a huge problem bc she spends too much time doing other people's work instead of her own, and also she's not very good at it.)
she did not communicate this with anyone. also did not immediately email the client and inform them she has done their work.
my boss, who is also involved with that account since Errant was fucking it up majorly, decides to email them, receives a reply saying "when will our revisions be done" and starts panicking after hearing the team doesn't know about them
(classic Errant move is to get a task and not assign it, so he thought it was rotting in her inbox)
Errant decides this is a great time to not reply to anyone on skype for several hours
Errant finally gets a hold of the boss, explains everything, but by now it's been so long he's royally pissed and gives her a lecture about communicating
She then complains to Lead Dev (who she thinks is her friend but actually files the most complaints to HR Boss about her lmao) about how he isn't praising her for doing WORK THAT IS NOT HER JOB ~just because~ she didn't communicate with him quickly or email the client, and how he's such a micromanager (extremely false, he's a pain sometimes but overall fairly chill) and overreacted horribly because uuggghhh why is any of this his business like she did the stuff right who caaaaares? not like he had to sideline her on this account for several weeks because she spent Literally One Hundred Hours bullying the designer (until she cried) and making her redo things for no reason, and then refused to assign the site for 3 weeks (until there was only THREE DAYS left before the due date) because she wanted specifically Lead Dev to do it (again, she thinks he's her buddy), while the client grew increasingly frustrated with the delays! noooo, it's not like she's lost the right to keep this client to herself at all!! not like over the past few months she's managed many accounts so badly they've put her on probation!
Lead Dev cannot find a way to explain to her that she's living in a really bizarre alternate dimension and like, of course everyone is upset geez, so he's just trying to ignore her. she then decided to start sending him a bunch of ig posts about bad management which he thinks is funny, because there's only one bad manager here and it ain't our boss.
#i swear if we lose wfh privileges because SHE did not answer the boss's messages for hours....#shes always mad that the boss 'interferes' with her clients and it's like girl...#if you didn't piss off both the client and your fellow team members to the point where they got the bosses involved...#if you just did your job properly...#he WOULDN'T be in your space bc he wouldn't HAVE to be#she used to complain that this was sexism but then we hired a new PM whos female and she of course does her job right so the bosses#don't 'interfere' with her and even give her special projects sometimes#so now errant just hates her and calls her an alpha bitch to lead dev....so Errant's the one whos sexist really#she does have a very weird idea of what workplace sexism is. like yesterday she was mad cause our Christmas card design...#a bunch of minimalist illustrated hands holding Christmas ornaments.... doesn't have any hands with painted nails#so none of them are 'female'. this card is literally so unisex. 3 people instantly said they thought different hands were female#THEY ARE JUST LITTLE CARTOON HANDS HOLDING STARS GEEZ#but then she has beef with every woman in the office because we're all alpha bitches or we don't bow and scrape to her or we don't like#use enough exclamations or emojis in skype....#anyway sometimes Lead Dev and i try to unravel the layers of her lies and evasion tactics and we give up.#she is as the children say totally delulu#and like. listen this is a male dominated workspace. there are Sexism Microaggressions for sure#i would still love yo sit my boss at gunpoint and make him explain why he suddenly started telling everyone i didn't know jquery#for a few weeks last year until i corrected him (at the time he said 'oh i didn't realize you all knew that' IT WAS IN THE JOB POSTING!)#cause like. the real reason is i asked for help with some jquery once and therefore i must not know ANY....#ANYWAY. like its a male dominated business. there's going to be bullshit. its just that she fabricates her own bizarre bullshit#or uses sexism as an excuse to herself for why shes always in trouble...so you can't like. TALK to her about it#its so annoying#SORRY FOR THE MULTIPLE RANTS I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO NOT RANT BUT THE RANT MUST BE RANTED

going postal... fallout new vegas... postman pat (I assume)... again and again we must face that inevitable truth: the ideal protagonist is a horrible little postman with problems
#gender neutral of course#mail not male the divine role of messenger knows no gender#fallout new vegas#going postal#I am counting angels in this as well. the original postmen with problems#the problem often being 'these humans won't stop screaming so *sigh* BE NOT AFRAID' it would seem#I would be including the courier of the czar in here but honestly it's been too long since I read that#I suspect there might be some. iffy stuff in it (there's literally one scene I really remember from it and I am ASTOUNDED#to find that it's actually sort of scientifically accurate. jules verne was a guy)#this post was inspired by 'sleight of hand' but it is a sincerely held belief of mine as well haha#someone with a message that MUST reach someone and who is responsible for delivering it is just a neat setup for a story

The whole of Fitz's life is a cautionary tale about various human flaws, his not the least, but also society's as a whole, and among them the ravages of compulsory monogamy
#RotE#Like YES the ravages of compulsory heterosexuality as well of course#but even the Fool considers Fitz's various affections irreconcilable#BUT FITZ HAS TWO HANDS AND CAN SPARE PETS FOR NIGHTEYES TOO#well. the narrative also forces him to chose between his daughter and his duty and his daughter and his soulmate#so not all of it is a matter of monogamy that guy is just cursed by the narrative#but still#but if push came to shove I'd still say he must go with the Fool since he can't be whole and truthful with Molly to face his life#save*

adding onto that one I feel like they put too much emphasis on how bad bucky feels about killing while he was the winter soldier as if he hadn't killed what must have been countless people beforehand
#it's just kind of lame and it feels almost like a cop out from talking about anything else ever#of course he should feel something. he SHOULD feel guilty because killing will do that to you no matter what#but they paint it as if he only ever killed innocent civilians and he's just so sorry about it#i don't think he should have to actually feel sorry. of course he does but he shouldn't have to! but the narrative doesn't agree with me#none of it is his fault but that will never stop that guilty ache in his gut#but he also willingly stayed in the war. killing and fighting must have eaten him up inside but he was still able to go out again every day#he was out there for almost 2 years before the train he would have grown accustomed to it all a long time ago#and i'm sure that kept him up at night because again of course it did. it would for a long long time. maybe forever!#but it's not the only thing about his past worth mentioning is what i'm trying to say#it shouldn't be seen as the worst of his trauma#and he didn't have to stay. so i don't think the blood on his hands as the ws should bother him the specific way it does in canon#ok i feel like i didn't word any of that right but whatever. remember that stupid line about him and hydra

thinking pondering to me john torres is like. what if u met a woman. with confidence and dignity and a strong moral backbone. you meet and she makes a distinct impression with her honesty and her frankness and she seems like she's always sure of what she wants and what she needs and she's so different from anyone else you know and thats exciting and she's exciting and she likes you specifically you. and you don't think much of you but it feels good to be liked by someone like that. you love her of course. you marry her. of course!
#diary#miral of course miral this post as all other posts on my blog is about miral. head in my hands#john torres and his projected insecurities and shitty behavior you will always be infamous.#im so deeply rooted in my headcanons for them i have au's . girl the universe isnt even that well established ?#call me b'elanna torres the way i'm turning miral and john over in my head to figure out what the heck happened#in my head john and miral are like. john voice she's never stuttered in her life she always knows what to do she's very serious strong head#on her shoulders. my kind of woman.#meanwhile miral is like. act first pray on it later was that a mistake? well what is a mistake really this is my path now#and i'll have to see how to handle what has been done. seeing as now it can't be changed shrugs. the honorable thing to do.#i also think they see a lot of their flaws as like-#consequences of their cultures and not like personal flaws which can sometimes be true but also sometimes they are very much flaws in the#person.#miral is a little too sure of herself bordering on arrogance and likes control. john is like ahh klingons and their surefootedness :)#<- a little correct but also very wrong.#john is very like. at his worst a cold shoulder bad at personal confrontation kind of a pushover quick to resent but usually just seems#serious and occasionally quiet . normally social tho! so miral is like. a consequence of his upbringing that can't be changed. i will#take him as he is.#which is a nice sentiment and would normally be applied well unless you are these two specifically.#what happens when its 10 or even just five years later and you're getting tired of the cowardice? what happens when its five years later and#you can't go a day without arguing? what happens then.#did you confuse her arrogance for poise for assertiveness? did you confuse her recklessness with courage? whos wrong her or you?#miral voice is he a fool does he not care? he's content to just stand by? cower?#i think from the klingon pov a man who isn't willing to fight for you and your relationship must be devastatinggggg#not literally of course here but also literally. lol#but yeah what does it do to you when the person you love won't even argue with you anymore just totally pulls away? leaves. head in my hands#who do you think fell first. idk but i know who fell harder! :) <- tears in my eyes#i really like pathways where they made miral like a chatty woman and had her offer to host parties for b'elanna and her friends it was so#sweet i should read it again.#i like her to be a little crazy though <3 :)

idk why thisbe wanting the articulated integrity staff wasn't on my bingo card but here we are. I was mostly surprised at how eagerly she asked for it
#on the one hand: of course she wants to try to talk to a divine#on the other hand: THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS#telomirage.txt#palisade#thisbe: open it! open it! / brnine: I guess I'm being weird about this okay let's go#new tools for thisbe!#'it gets its claws into you to support you#but what we hadn't really known is how badly it wants to hold someone up at the same time'#<- ouch!!#ooooh okay I had forgotten that janine said back in partizan that thisbe would never become divine#so that must have been what I was thinking about 🤔🤔

Mable and Dipper do rock paper scissors over who gets to date Pacifica
#gravity falls#dipper of course loses and we see mable comedically fail to try and ask her out#and eventually before she gets up the berve Pacifica is like 'i need to confess cause you're my friend or whatever'#'i have a crush on your brother'#and mables heartbroken cause damn another summer love lost#but Pacifica is like 'but he obviously hates me hes been avoiding me all day'#cut to dipper being supportive all day and trying to not get jealous so leaving the two alone#and mables like. nope. true love must prevail#and lets dipper take the big flashy way she was going to ask out Pacifica#and at the end dipper and Pacifica are blushing and holding hands and it zooms to mable whos so giddy for them

sorry u know it's late when i start adding commentary to other ppl's linguistics posts
#there was another bitchier version of this post that didn't survive but know in my heart that i was bitchier about it.#croidhe#idk man just something about the way non-easians will always go 'oh you're enforcing stereotypes about how RIGID and HIERARCHICAL asians r'#like ok fine dragon's daughter whatever that is a stereotype that white ppl love to roll around in but on the other hand#is that such a bad thing? ofc there are issues w the system i'm hardly the last person to talk about how fucked#korea is like. in every societal and political and economic way possible but#AMERICANS just LOVE to go oooohhh it must suck SO BAD to be REQUIRED to respect your ELDERS oooo that must be AWFUL#like idk man. i actually think that the discrete different levels of formality in korean are really cool#oh you think it's tedious to learn? you think it's pointless and stupid? and a relic from a bygone age?#cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. of course. of course you do.

Trying to trouble-shoot a customer over a phone is always an exercise in "stick to Norwegian you gremlin" for me. I so badly want to use English lingo for things, but my poor customers barely understand what I'm saying in Norwegian, let alone English! The amount of times I end up apologising because my explanations are shit are numerous, and most of the time my customers are really nice about it.
Although, I do loathe having to trouble-shoot networking over the phone. It's a pain in the ass, and it's difficult to find the problem when there are so many moving parts to a network.
At least the customer and I can joke around a little and make the process more pleasant for the both of us. Especially when the problem may have been a wonky cable, and not something much more expensive that must be replaced.
#text_loke#he was really nice to me. we were talking SO LONG and i had to use hand signals to my coworker so he could take the physical customers#because i was on the phone. and for some reasons customers see me standing there with a headset on and assume i am therefore free#no!! i am on the phone!! i cannot talk to you ma'am please stop attempting to converse with me!!#some are nice about it. others get bitchy. like SORRY i have one ear on the phone i CANNOT listen to two people at once!!#anyway. hope it was the cable that was fucked! we would of course fix whatever issue it was if it ISN'T#but it's soooo much easier for him for it to be just the cable he made himself. 'cos fuck homemade cat6 cables#(which i say as someone who has made SEVERAL and hates the process furiously)#also. shoutout to the customer who gave me 10/10 and said we were COOL PEOPLE in all caps :)#made my day that. like thank you!! i do my best to give the best customer service!!#and i only had ONE person call me today to be a glorified website :) usually it's at least three people :)#like we have a click and collect for a reason. i am NOT that. i can trouble shoot and help fix. i am not a website#also. why am i cursed. why am i cursed to be swarmed by people when i'm alone??#at least at my current workplace i am not harassed for being on my own. people are actually nice#they don't go ballistic on me when it takes me a but to get to them due to the tasks i am made to do#i don't get yelled at every shift. which is lovely :)#anyway. time for sleeps because i must write 3k tomorrow for my exam. rip
