#tryna figure out how he got hired tbh

[suffering-and-misery]

Story tiiiiiiiiiime! So today I show up at my science class and there's a sub. Cool. He was talking to us about life experience and getting jobs and all that, but after a while he brought up sports. He played golf, so I made a joke about him being old and rich (which he was - he only taught for fun) And this guy goes on a full-on rant about white priveledge, of all things, and how it doesn't exist because we need to "create our own priveledge" Literally no one had brought this up so we were just sitting there. To make this even better, earlier on when talking about job interviews he mentioned first impressions and said: "Guys, look good. Girls? You already know how to do that" Like Bro????

[weirdnovelties]

both our ships for the domestic meme !!

domestic ship meme!

Jax & Rusty:

who reaches out to new neighbors: DEFINITELY Rusty.

who remembers to buy healthy food: Also Rusty, Jax is not tryna eat carrot sticks when he has the munchies, mmkay.

who remembers to buy junk food: Jax, Jax, Jax.

who fixes the oven when it breaks: Probably Jax.

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s): Honestly both of them, but I feel like he’s better with plant life if only because he probs grows his own weed lmao.

who wakes up earlier: Oh, for sure Rusty.

who makes the bed: Nobody bc it’s probably Jax’s favorite place to smoke, but I’m sure Rusty tries.

who makes the coffee: Jax, because he enjoys a cup with his morning toke lmao.

who burns breakfast: Jax. If he can’t microwave it, it’s not happening.

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house: A kiss goodbye.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home: A kiss hello, that maybe probably turns into living room/kitchen/dining room sex, especially if it’s been a long day lmao.

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often: Probably Rusty, but Jax does it occasionally and always tries to act like it’s no big deal at all. 

who picks the movie for movie night: Jax probably lets her do it bc he’s not gonna pay attention anyways lololol.

their favorite kind of movie to watch: TBH probably romantic shit because it’s probably easier to get Rusty in the mood that way and that’s his movie goal lmao.

who first suggests a pillow fort: Rusty. Jax totally rolls his eyes but does whatever tf she wants, so.

who builds the pillow fort: They both do, and then it gets destroyed bc he’s like “let’s fuck in it”

who tries to distract the other during the move: Jaaaaaaax.

who falls asleep first: Jax gets all stoned and cuddly and falls asleep all wrapped around her.

who is big spoon/little spoon: They switch but he would neeeeeever admit it.

Lucy & Harvey:

who reaches out to new neighbors: Harvey lmao. Lucy’s like “Who gives a fuck about being neighborly?”

who remembers to buy healthy food: Lucy probably, she’s gotta watch her pristine bitchy figure.

who remembers to buy junk food: Also Lucy though because ya girl’s got a chocolate weakness.

who fixes the oven when it breaks: Lucy hires someone to fix it because she has ZERO patience for nonsense.

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s): Harvey probably does both lmao.

who wakes up earlier: Harvey, homegirl needs her beauty sleep and if he wakes her up before she’s ready, RIP

who makes the bed: Harvey, Lucy’s a princess and doesn’t do peasant work.

who makes the coffee: See above lmao.

who burns breakfast: On the OFF CHANCE she’s even going to attempt to cook, she definitely burns it, throws a tantrum, and demands they order takeout or go out.

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house: WELP if they’re fighting (which is likely) it’s probably in some form of cursing and name calling. If they’re getting along, it’s probably some lowkey “I’ll be back later” shit.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home: “Are you done being a bitch/asshole yet?” Or her bitching about whatever happened that day and him distracting her from it, wink wink.

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often: Definitely Harvey, and Lucy always acts like he’s lame as fuck but secretly loves it.

who picks the movie for movie night: Lucy. She likes to get her way. Harvey’s probably smart enough to pick his battles so he doesn’t argue.

their favorite kind of movie to watch: Whatever she’s in the mood for that night.

who first suggests a pillow fort: Probably Harvey.

who builds the pillow fort: She “observes” while he does it.

who tries to distract the other during the move: Lucy. Just because she picked it doesn’t mean she intended to WATCH the entire thing.

who falls asleep first: Lucy. She’s a sloth.

who is big spoon/little spoon: Harvey’s the big spoon all the time. He makes her feel safe, but she’ll die before she says that out loud.

ep4: house saves some babies but actually not all of them and cuddy yelled at him when he literally flipped a coin to decide which baby got which treatment when trying to eliminate the one that wouldnt work (spoilers neither did)

ep5: House didn't screw up like everyone said he did actually and he is the one who realised the nun had a v old birth control implant that she was allergic too even after cuddy took him off the case to stop him killing the patient

ep6: it was houses bday and cameron kept telling him about it, the schizophrenic patients son had so much shit together it was impressive, house worked out it was cancer and then realised she wasnt schizophrenic and saved the day twice

ep7: turns out cameron has a tragic backstory, wilson may or may not b dating some1 in the hospital even tho hes married n either way house is gunna fIND oUT and grilled him after asking him to come stare at a patients breasts with him,, the patient had a bad case of sleepy night night and would have preferred death to admitting she slept with her husbands friend but they worked it out anyway and the husband left her

ep8: the mother of all PTA mums is really tryna control whether or not house can save lives and also he should probably stop making people break into places just saying, also there's a horny old lady who's in love with house and Wilson reads her love poetry loudly in the lobby it was hilarious

ep 9: house proves the other doctor wrong even tho no one believes him and he has a restraining order filed against him that dont let him near the patient,, not only does he fix the pneumonia but also the paralysis and gets the patients legs back

Ep10: I FIGURED IT OUT BEFORE THEY DID HAH the patient was a homeless woman who foreman who didn't care about and then cared too much about, Wilson has a secret brother who's been missing for years and they couldn't save the patient, it was a tragic episode

Ep11: cuddy bets house he won't last a week without painkillers ((except actually it was Wilson who's a sneaky bitch (i love him))) and house realises hes an addict but it's nOT A PROBLEM JAMES and also he makes people dig up a cat to solve the case of amanda seyfrieds boyfriend and it's not lupus ffs

Ep15: volger is a fucking dick honestly I'll kill him but at least the gay gangsters brother bought house a shiny new car, sidenote house in a labcoat is wierd

Ep16: I've said it before n I'll say it again volger is a PENIS he's tryna make house fire a fellow, what a bastard. Also there was a lonely lonely child who was sick but dw house cured her n they didn't cut off her breasts

Ep17: Volger blackmails house into doing a speech and Regrets It, Chase is a snitch and the black politician whos running for president didn't have aids

Ep18: Wilson tried to save houses job from primo dick man vulgar so vulgar tried to kick him off the board and he got FIRED essentially and I'm SO MAD JC FUCK U VULVA also the patient has cancer n didn't want chemo to save her foetus n everyone misses Cameron who quit at the end of the last ep but at the end it was all ok cus cuddy stood up to volvo and Wilson came back and they all drank together so

Ep19: The 12 yr old was pregnant, there mUSt be a reason Wilson has to sit in on house interviews, there was an epidemic in the hospital which made it crowded n busy and Cameron told house she'd only come back to work if he took her on a date

Ep20: sulus here and he likes to be choked, chase tried his hand at being a dominatrix and failed, everyone's teasing house about the date with cameron, house blackmailed the parents, the date was super awkward, I really love Wilson just a lot tbh he's so protective of house

Ep21: Stacy is here in the now but more importantly house is giving a lecture and we're getting Backstory and some fantastic interactions this episode is so good and also tragic, how could stacy do that to him what a bitch ass move jc it's HIS LIFE, HIS LEG damn you

Ep22: well it opened with house drugging Stacy's husband and honestly that was a bit of a theme he just kept drugging him against his will but he did save him in the end so oh well, sidenote stacy needs to back off and leave house alone this is bad for him

[OOC Message log, imrainai & trashrightsactivist]

These are really old. Like, last in-universe year old. But some people wanted to see them, so here they are.

Summer, 3422

imrainai: Could I read the sideblog? You have a lot of really interesting things to say, and I'd like to read them. If you're ok with it. ^_^'

Trashrightsactivist: I would trust a promise from you, you seem trustworthy. So I will add you if you promise me that you understand how serious it could be if someone like tidalwave got hold of information that could tell her who I am in real life - I could quite easily die - and also promise you won't mention any of that info anywhere public. Is that okay?

Imrainai: Yeah, I promise. I definitely don't want anything bad to happen to you.

Trashrightsactivist: cool, adding you in a sec

Weeks Later

imrainai: ruby? are you ok? just laying low for a bit? You're safe, right?

Trashrightsactivist: yes. i am very sad and angry about things. but safe.

Imrainai: <3 please stay safe ok

Trashrightsactivist: i'll do my best. you too

Later

Imrainai: I think the internet's gonna cut out in a bit, so just wanted to tell you again to stay safe and take care of yourself. you're a good internet friend, OK, so make sure you're still here when I get back

Imrainai: taz liked your story about the aliens btw. I had to modify it some because I don't want him telling his teachers he's getting red-positive propaganda at home, it was about criminals and poor people. but the basic moral was intact, and he seemed to agree with it.

I just... be careful, OK, the world needs all the good people it can get

Trashrightsactivist: thank you. and I'm glad he liked the story, it's about the downtrodden whatever colour their hair is so yeah

Weeks Later

imrainai sent a post caste flexibility meme!

Imrainai: tag, you're privately it

Imrainai: also the internet's back and your blog is not back, are you still there

Trashrightsactivist: I will post caste meme soon. I have a secret new blog.

Trashrightsactivist: as in - the blog is not a secret but the fact that it's me is a secret

Trashrightsactivist: what i learned from tryna fill out the meme is mostly that i would be a sucky purple :P

Imrainai: ohhh, ok

Imrainai: also same

Imrainai: but I also feel like I'd feel like that no matter what I was. probably everything looks easier than it is from the outside

Trashrightsactivist: well you're like coping and looking after a baby so you must be doing something right! But probably true

Imrainai: at least if i were YELLOW i could ADVANCE in the LIBRARY SYSTEM

Imrainai: but yeah I guess Ves is more important anyway, so I can't be, like, totally failing at life in general

Trashrightsactivist: yeah that's one of the dumb things about the caste system tbh - as a purple its super hard to get anywhere really successful unless you got this one specific skillset of 'run a business'

Imrainai: well you can only run certain kinds of businesses, is the thing. like, I can't start an editing service or watch other people's kids or something

Trashrightsactivist: which is sooo dumb

Imrainai: I do not think I could, like, successfully run a restaurant or a furniture company or make clothes

Imrainai: there are lots of options, so you'd think ONE of them would work, but so far nah

Imrainai: ............I should probably not actually be complaining about my life circumstances to you, that seems rather inconsiderate

Trashrightsactivist: hmm - idk if homeschooling is a thing in Voa. If I was the kinda oddball economics green i mighta been in another life I would suggest you might be able to set up a purple-for-purple homeschooling group and argue the income as being purple either on the basis of it being like house spousing or like consultation (in that being your caste *is* the qualifying factor for a purple-for-purple homeschool)

Trashrightsactivist: and nah, it's fine - it's actually helpful to give me different things to think about tbh

Trashrightsactivist: you could apply the same argument to a daycare specifically meant to socialise purple kids in a purple environment. But idk your employment law well enough you'd need to get a solicitor to advise on it.

Imrainai: Homeschooling is a thing, but I think if you make money at it it stops being homeschooling

Imrainai: I dunno, maybe one of the librarians can help me figure it out tho

Imrainai: they're good about stuff like that

Trashrightsactivist: yeah, I mean at minimum they can probably help you find and understand the books with the law stuff in

Imrainai: Liet's orange and I could maybe finagle something around that, but she's old enough that asking her to actually work is not really.... fair to her, so

Imrainai: and yeah

Trashrightsactivist: what is it you actually do rn if you don't mind me asking? or are you at home with the kid?

Imrainai: oh! no, I work two jobs

Imrainai: I do cleaning at a nursing home and I shelve books at the library

Imrainai: And my second cousin is living here too, she works in a warehouse and sometimes watches the baby

Trashrightsactivist: ahh, right. I was confused for a bit cause i remember a post about the 1st one and i thought you were a care worker and was like 'that's purple?'

Trashrightsactivist: is that liet? the orange person?

Imrainai: Liet's my great-great-grandmother, I am am sort of EFFECTIVELY her caretaker but she's family so I don't get paid for that

Imrainai: and I do look after the old people at the nursing home, but that is not actually my job, it is just... a thing that happens when I am in close proximity to people who need things

Trashrightsactivist: really should be crossover work

Trashrightsactivist: you know one of those jobs thats two castes

Trashrightsactivist: if orange-grandma lives with you it miight be doable to do the daycare and have it that like, she owns it officially and employs you, but again you'd need to check out the legalities

Imrainai: I mean in THEORY there is a simple dividing line between "care worker" and "cleaning lady" but with elderly people the line is not always actually clear

Trashrightsactivist: yeah thats why it should be crossover

Trashrightsactivist: are you any good with numbers and people management?

Imrainai: And yeah, maaaaybe, but if anyone ever investigated it I think it would rapidly become obvious that Liet wasn't really... doing anything

Imrainai: I've never really tried those things?

Imrainai: I don't think I'm awful with numbers

Imrainai: Though I never got past algebra in school

Trashrightsactivist: I imagine you gotta have people skills to a degree cause like - you're really nice, and dealing with the old ppl probably requires like, being nice but firm

Trashrightsactivist: wouldn't require algebra just finance - you could build up to a small cleaning business?

Imrainai: Oh, I hadn't thought about that, but I guess there's no reason that should be illegal

Imrainai: I do all the budgeting here, I can handle money OK

Trashrightsactivist: yeah well afaik that is entirely a purple thing to be doing, it's cleaning and it's business

Imrainai: That makes sense

Trashrightsactivist: and your library connections and self-starter attitude will mean you can pick up the extra knowledge you'd need

Imrainai: I don't know if I'd actually make more money than just working at the nursing home, but I can look into it

Trashrightsactivist: probly need some seed money i guess

Imrainai: ...yeah, you need some to get started I think

Trashrightsactivist: yeah it would at least have more potential to grow, is what i was thinking

Imrainai: but not THAT much for a cleaning business, you don't need an office or anything for that really

Imrainai: I bet you could do it with just a web page actually

Imrainai: not that I know how to make a decent website

Trashrightsactivist: yeah you probably wouldn't make more to start with but could eventually - if you read the books and stuff and came up with a good business model you could probably pitch it to people to get a small investment for like, a website and some supplies, maybe a vehicle

Trashrightsactivist: tell the nursing home they can hire you as a contractor through your business, but if you've got other work you have more leverage to get better pay there

Imrainai: That's an interesting idea... I dunno if they'd go for it, but at least this is something to look into. It's good to have options.

Imrainai: Thanks :)

Trashrightsactivist: I mean. In a sane world you could learn more about the library while you stack shelves and work your way up to librarian but we don't live in a sane world

Trashrightsactivist: np :) I better get back to work but good luck if you decide to try it

Trashrightsactivist: oh secret new me is truth-from-ashes btw. Trusting you to keep that sceret.

Trashrightsactivist: ttyl

Weeks Later

Imrainai: Wanted to thank you for the idea to start a business. Liet's going to be starting up after-school tutoring really soon, and apparently it's absolutely legal for me to volunteer at her business and for her to then put that money towards food and rent. I'll get to make money while spending time with my family and helping Taz and his classmates with their homework. :D

Days Later

Imrainai: ruby did you hear about the thing

Imrainai: the orvara thing

Imrainai: you're not in orvara are you

Days later

Imrainai: please don't be in orvara

Later

Trashrightsactivist: I'm not there. I'm sorry if my absence from the online was worrying- reds everywhere are panicky right now and that's been my focus.

Imrainai: no no it's ok! just wanted to make sure you weren't. uh. actually dead

Imrainai: be safe

Imrainai: or as safe as possible I guess

Trashrightsactivist: You too. I don't know what's going to happen now but it's not going to be good and it's not going to just be us that suffers for it in the end.

Fall, 3422

Imrainai: ruby are you still alive and kicking and there and stuff

Several weeks later

Imrainai: rubyyyyyyy

[bendy-and-the-space-shuttle]

tbh while i agree that its all joeys story, i dont rly agree that henrys the only living one (or that its only the ppl on the coffins). after all, joey mentioned he had thousands of souls, and even if he only said that in his story, im p sure most of those tapes are actually meant to be real. the people whos names are on the coffin line up with the ones whos tapes reference something happening to someone (though not all the same people have those tapes) (it could be argued that sammy and grants disprove this but that couldve been set by story sammy, as he seems to retain his old voice where others dont and grant is implied to have died irl). but ya like, going by that, where else would he get his souls? and if the stuff that comes out of the ink machine doesnt quite work without a soul, then how could he create the story? even if henry was made from the ink machine, in order for tew other things to work properly theyd need souls too. and where else would the souls be from other than his employees (i wouldnt be surprised if just just being hired would make u lose ur soul or smth. maybe joey had paperwork and literally had people sell their souls without them knowing. thats kinda a stretch but i think itd b funny, given his ties w bendy already)? maybe he found a way to use their souls without messing them up irl. maybe searchers are things made from ink that didnt have souls used so now theyre just suffering but cant actually think. this post kinda got off track

but yea, since in order for the characters to work properly, theyd need souls, its entirely possible that tom allison and (using the boris is wally theory) boris were still used using thomas allisons and wallys (after all, boris clearly isnt souless as he neither is a demon or doesnt feel) souls so theyd actually act as characters in the story instead of just doing whatever it is a soulless ink creature does. joey probably did whatever he did with henry to create a copy of him (idk if joey used henrys soul or did something else, but he probably used his soul. he managed to semd a letter to henry too, so how would it be impossible to make a copy of the others as well?). overall, with this, i think that while it id joeys story, all the characters have real emotions and thoughts and dont realize theyre just part of joeys story. even ones with some sentience only remember vague memories from their souls or people their based on. their experiences in the studio are real up to a certain point, just were created by joey for whatever reason (while some say its to try to change something, cope with being a dick, or whatever other reason. theres a lot of different possible reasons but honestly the one that i think is better would probably be that hes tryna find a way for it not to have been his fault but keeps changing the story or smth. idk, his motivations on this are weird to figure out, all i know is hes making a story and made henry the protag)

my interpretation is like. a bunch of ideas clumped into one thing. its like adobes but also slightly more black mirrir:uss calister esque, if im remembering adobes theory right
