I’ve achieved gay boy status

that thing people do where they write essays and post book quotes to prove how hot their favorite fictional little girl of choice is but it's me pulling out receipts of everytime joffrey and tommen are described with long beautiful curls bc someone said they 'canonically have fuckass bobs' and I'm drawing them wrong

It’s crazy to me how much. Lore? World building I suppose? There is to tfa. Like the shit in the Allspark Almanac. There are characters there who were never once mentioned in the show but, yeah they’re there. They exist. It just makes the world feel more alive and lived in I guess, like we never see them but they’re there, still part of Cybertron’s world and history. It’s cool :)

a customer played a cruel prank this morning, discombobulated my entire day, so I went to Daiso on lunch for a small treat, and now my phone case has a definite message attached to it.

working retail is making me remember how much i hate stupid customers btw

Selling my art as a teenager really killed my passion for it. I don't want to draw anymore because it feels like work.

My boss and I have moved computers out of the way between our desks so we can lean to the side and stare at each other whenever we hear something completely unhinged from the customers at the self-service printing area like:

it happens almost daily.

"Lumine." Hand outstretched, the Yaksha presents the traveler with a hairclip; a custom made piece designed to resemble the shimmering wings of a butterfly standing atop a qingxin flower. "This. It's for you. If it does not please you, you need not wear it." [I missed Valentine's day by a long shot but have smth from Xiao :3]

"...Oh?"

Her gaze shifted towards his gloved hand, inspecting the intricate and delicate hair accessory. Despite its small size, she could easily make out the flower and butterfly shapes.

"It's beautiful! Did you get this at Mingxing Jewelry? I dropped by the store a couple of days ago to see if there was anything new for the Lantern Rite festival, but I didn't see this one!" Otherwise she would have most definitely purchased it.

She carefully took the hairclip and put it on - which was a little tricky to do without a mirror but hopefully it was not too crooked.

"Ta-dah! What do you think? Does it suit me?"

Some of those doctors make hating oat milk their entire personality. I hate them. Cannot pretend to find them funny or like i give a shit. Fucking pretentious assholes

[whump-it-like-its-hot]

Okay but the feeling when you do something, and someone tells you to stop, but you keep doing it and then in the end someone appreciates the thing you kept doin and you just

thank you random person I will love you forever

[whimsyprinx]

I will quite literally probably never accept that anyone likes me romantically

The most accurate diagnostic tool for depression is actually asking people what they think about books like The Bell Jar, Catcher in the Rye, etc. You know they don't have depression if they say "boring and whiney"

[ccervidae]

For the most part I've come to terms with and accepted who I am as a person with a variety of more antisocial personality traits, as it mostly manifests in me just not talking to people I'm not friends with more than I have to, but my especially negative traits make me laugh because there's no way to not sound like an edgelord when there's moments like "I hate the sound of people laughing in a conversation I'm not in" and "this stranger was TOO friendly and helpful and I dislike them for it".

Like woah, calm down there buddy.

[staretes]

wah its so hot today

Seeing this again and as someone who has worked sales:

This is it. This is the game. You need to be ready for the multiple trips/calls to a manager, because often times we REALLY need the sale. (There is almost always a commission that is dangled over your head. Not in a straight forward way. One of my previous jobs required us to balance six I repeat SIX different numbers to be able to get a PERCENTAGE of our commission. Which we were both supposed to think as "a huge chunk of your salary" but also "an extra that you are lucky to get")

If one company will not meet your standards, there is another company that will likely be able to.

If you want the best outcome from any business with a "Sales" team. Come in knowing exactly how much you are willing to pay and do as the above said. Ask a lot of questions, but also make sure to listen to what the employee is saying to you. We often have to word things in a VERY specific way- both for legal reasons, and because our managers are usually breathing down our necks, and like things pitched a certain way.

Sometimes you can pick up on what we are putting down if you consider how we said stuff. If I had more braincells I would give some examples- but really, just try to keep your social sensors out for certain words being stressed, or repeated.

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

"I feel like the irony of some idiot going out of their way to be extremely disrespectful to someone else and demanding to be respected for that terrible behaviour, after insulting that person in that same demand, is really lost on the idiot. Which isn't saying much given the stupidity of them, but it's just sort of pitiful to witness."

"There's a reason I ban mostly high school girls who act like that from my café. I already can't trust teenagers to behave well at the best of times these days, but any having their egos stroked in some way that they think they're entitled to immediate respect are insufferable. Some don't even grow out of it and act like that in adulthood."

"So now I have a mock road exit sign in my café on the wall that says: "Talk shit, get hit". I don't expect everyone to get it until they get decked out the front door for talking poorly about someone else in the café."

Lottie is a little tired of the teenagers already after school has started. Too many of them are acting so poorly she's got a ban on them coming to her café during school days. It's easier to screen their behaviour to filter out the good ones on the weekends.
