i needed to express a sentiment in the creative stylings of @dunmeshiminimumwage

#eliot posts #dunme #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #sorry to put toshiro in the roll of shitty job interviewer lmao #but he was the best fit for ''guy that wants me to read their mind''#laios being my internal monologue here #i was on my THIRD interview of the day i was Dying #tho since the prev two interviews i had were for similar positions and told me their salaries outright at least i could use that number #(though tbh my work persona is more of a kabru. my customer service voice is unparalleled)#(at my first job even my coworkers thought i was sooo cheerful til i got too comfy and casually made a joke abt wanting to asphyxiate on a #plastic shopping bag like a sea turtle. in front of my sweet elderly coworker. oops!)#(also this job was during quarantine and after weeks of working together i took my mask off in front of one coworker for the first time #and she called like half the department over from their registers to look at how pretty i was??? prettyboy powers unmatched ig)#(also my first interview today went SO well i charmed that interviewer so good despite my lack of qualifications)#(she even complimented my social skills and said i seemed like the type who could get along well and make good conversation with anyone!)#(which is important bc i was interviewing for an elder care position. also old people especially tend to think i am a Delightful Young Lad)#(unless i accidentally make a morbid joke around them ig lmaooo. or. well. some of them like those too. but not that one coworker lol)#(if only that skill transferred over to actually making friends irl. my autistic ass has so few close irl connections)#(i hope my exceedingly short list of character references does not prevent me from getting hired)#AND ALSO my first job asked the same wage question and i said twelve dollars #and they were like all our new employees start at 7.75 #the union insists that we pay all new employees a whopping 50 cents above min wage. (we'd pay less if we could)#like dawg why did you ask that then??? if my answer did not matter at all???

hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?

ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things. Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever

#I did start to try to deep dive before I realized it was too much #but I was reminded that when Louis was doing txf as a judge while fizzy was struggling #many people thought he had been pressured somehow into it; later when we knew what had been going on people were like #oh maybe he just wanted to be close to home to deal with fizzy stuff or somethng #but also: keeping fizzy stuff quiet would potentially be the info we didn't have at that time that could answer that q too of what they use #given the DW🤝simon jones🤝simon cowell cursed connections #(for the newbies: simon jones aka DWs bestie is Louis' publicist for no apparent reason even now long after he has gotten free of the rest #of the modest/syco/simon cowell shitshow)#anyway another example of story trading in our fandom is zayn's baby sister's teen pregnancy #which was known to the fandom early on but kept super quiet by respectful fans- during this time Z did some unprecedented actual interviews #for no obvious reason #and then iirc pretty much the day she turned 17 a very lowkey article reported on her marrying her bf and mentioning a pregnancy #but as if it was recent not like 7 months along #and even when she gave birth soon after it was all kind of... glossed over and around and not reported until a little later #blah blah blah #I felt like it was weird to talk about this for some reason but when I thought about it #I don't know if it matters. Like maybe talking about him not being a dad and being gay or whatever at all is bad #but assuming we're doing that anyway. why not talk about the struggles around that #and the creeps holding it over his head #dan wootton

The scene: Louis and Armand chat for a little over 2 minutes in their jail cell of bedroom about the missing journal entries and regaining control of the interview and getting to that boy that's still in there.

The Ted Talk on every minute detail about this scene that I bother my friends with: longer than the actual episode's runtime.

#interview with the vampire #iwtv s2 #louis de pointe du lac #the vampire armand #i could talk about everything and have #why they made the agreement and when they made it and what's covered in the pages #what they're wearing #the details of the jail cell #the fact that louis gifts affection when he gets what he wants #the fact that they don't cuddle when they go to 'sleep'#armand dealing art for the sport of it because it's not like he needs money #armand's cozy looking pj pants and wondering where I can get a pair #why is everything consistently black and grey? did armand choose it or did louis?#has louis been wearing all black since 2000 when he last killed? why?#and many more #im down the rabbit hole positing answers in a clown mask

#watching a vale interview for research. seeing how he talks and acts for fics from his pov #lots of hand movements. high lilt in his voice. lots of explanation. leads you through a story. very interested in conversation.#hes explaining smth rn and istg it is not related to the question at all. it's interesting i like it but was that the question bud #the question was 'how have you seen RIDERS change over the years? example pedrosa and marquez' and vale went 'ah. 2005 and 2019 are very #different bikes. theres more electronics now.' hes just answering what he wants girl get back on topic 😭😭#NEVER wants to talk about marc thats another observation.#'i come from an era of drinking and cigarettes' funny guy #subtle insults....idk if he means it to be insulting but eh who knows he has a specific tone #it was a question on evolution and how he adapts to riders of the past and riders of the present actually im stupid 😔 sry technically he DID #answer it was just odd jajajaja #great passion for motorcycles :)#atp this is just notes #why are his legs so long. sry. thats mean but why are his knees so far #i feel like he has a tendency to get very very close to whoever hes talking to. kinda a 'i AM interesting in what youre saying. you are #interested in ME' and i think thats very intriguing. lots of movements lots of leaning #i fw his earring so heavy bro i love his stupid one earring #hes so good at conversation wow #luca mention :))#ok yea hes literally abt to fall out of his chair thats how far hes leaning into the interviewer. they know each other so im not too #surprised but eh #he loves to explain loves to talk he really is so compelling. hes a storyteller. and very very italian #interview is valentino rossi uncut from 2019. its on the motogp youtube channel #need to see him do small talk. or just a little conversation between friends but idk italian so that may be hard to find #yap sesh tag #motogp

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

#like that's the point where we need to remind everyone around me that as much as I say #radio is 'a job'-- it's not 'my job' lol. I wish I was this interested in data science #but like. Honestly?? I'm not even a data scientist!? I answered a few questions about classical AI having come from a computer science back #background and now people are saying to me 'I know you're a data scientist and not a programmer' sir I am a computer scientist #what are you on about #and like I guess I get to google things and they're paying me so I'm not complaining but like I am not a data scientist #my biggest data scientist moment was when I asked 'do things in data science ever make sense???' and a bunch of data scientists went #'no :) Welcome to the club' ???????#why did I do a whole ass computer science degree then. Does anyone at all even want that anymore. Has everything in the realm of #computer science just been Solved. What of all the problems I learned and researched about. Which were cool. Are they just dead #Ugh the worst thing the AI hype has done rn is it has genuinely required everyone to pretend they're a data scientist #even MORE than before. I hate this #anyway; I wish I didn't hate it and I was curious and talked to many people in the field #like it's tragicomedy when every person I meet in music is like 'you've got to pursue this man you're a great interviewer blah blah blah'#and like I appreciate that this is coming from people who themselves have/are taking a chance on life #but. I kinda feel like my career does not exist anymore realistically so unless 1) commercial radio gets less shitty FAST #2) media companies that are laying off 50% of their staff miraculously stop or 3) Tom Power is suddenly feeling generous and wants #a completely unknown idiot to step into the biggest fucking culture show in the country (that I am in no way qualified for)#yeah there's very very little else. There's nothing else lol #Our country does not hype. They don't really care for who you are. f you make a decent connection with them musically they will come to you #Canada does not make heroes out of its talent. They will not be putting money into any of that. Greenlight in your dreams.#this is something I've been told (and seen) multiple times. We'll see it next week-- there are Olympic medallists returning to uni next wee #no one cares: the phrase is 'America makes celebrities out of their sportspeople'; we do not. Replace sportspeople with any public professi #Canada does not care for press about their musicians. The only reason NME sold here was because Anglophilia not because of music journalism #anyway; personal

also i got interviewed for npr about why i was protesting and what i hope people took away from it

#she also was like so why did you come out today when most people were staying home being depressed #and i was like well first of all i do this for my full time job. not to be like i'm getting paid to be here but more like that organizing #is all i think about and my purpose in life is to do what i can in the fight for a better world. so that's why im here um what was the #question #no but she was like how did you feel when you saw the results and said i was disappointed but not surprised #and dreading the blame the left and progressives are gonna get when it's the dems that lost this election by consistently moving #to the right on every issue especially those most important to young ppl like gaza and the climate. which i dont think is the answer #she was looking for #anyway hope they play any of it lol. also got interviewed for local news in my amazon labor union shirt lmaooo

you know what . what if the primary reason why i failed all those job interviews this summer was because i was Honest

#thinking....#idk why that thought just randomly came to me #its not like i never passed an interview . so why did i fail like the handful of interviews this summer #and maybe it was because i was actually honest about some of my answers LOL #particularly when they asked why i wanted to work there #and i pretty much said that i wanted to work on my goals and support myself and become independent etc #i THOUGHT that would be an acceptable amswer because idk . maybe itd say something good abt my character or whatever but i guess #you have to talk about why the company is great or how you think youd contribute or whatever -__-#anyway . hoping that i get this tutoring job becaus wi REALLY want to get out of retail lol #ss

this feels like when chris carter finally realized mulder and scully on xfiles were meant to be and made them (actually) kiss in s7 (fuck you fight the future). i mean he did a terrible job w it but. i dont think tim minear would ever fumble the characters as badly as cc did w msr. because otherwise why all this stuff alluding to b/e? i don't get it

i wish i understood this but i believe you and i'm sorry you went through that.......... but like you're right i literally don't understand the point of any of this?! that's why i'm starting to clown against my will

#asks #WHY NOT GIVE DIPLOMATIC ANSWERS #OR JUST. TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'RE FRIENDS #also i was saying this earlier in the dms but like. if this is nothing then i truly think that it's ironic that oliver said to zach sang #that he would want to avoid the whole 'guy comes out and suddenly his male friends are like oh you have a crush on me?'#because the narrative they're building with all these interviews is ABSOLUTELY that. if buddie is not happening.#especially bringing up 2x01 #which is............. pretty wack actually lmao. so that's why i said earlier that if it doesn't happen i won't be disappointed but #i will be surprised. and kind of upset but not (just) in a 'wah i wanted them to be canon' way but in a 'then why did you do all that' way

#learning hangul never ends #and i am like 🔪#so you're thinking of yourself as superior to chinese?? at least chinese MAKES SENSE #and doesn't have to make up new rules at every single corner #it's so weird that hangul was invented bcs this guy was like nah chinese characters are too hard i'm gonna make an easy system #and then it's like... oh but this is an exception #this letter is pronounced that way! but if it comes at this position it's pronounced another way #and sometimes it's just silent #and sometimes there are 4 letters but two of them are silent and 1 of them isn't pronounced regularly #i am DONE #sure learning chinese characters is a LOT #but at some point you can see patterns and it all fits together #korean letters are way easier but THE PATTERNS ARE A MESS #(but also i just looked at another way to count in korean)#(like.... i know un deux sept)#(but there's a second way to count and it sounds so similar to chinese and 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳)#(i know there won't be many crossovers so i'm happy about every single one)#((talking about crossovers: i started learning czech recently because i have no self control))#((((also because i told myself i'd only start learning a new language after being good in chinese and that day will never come))))#((((so i dropped that plan and now i've got nothing holding me back from starting new languages))))#((and a few days ago i listened to a russian interview and i was like wait i know these words))#((it was very nice but also a reminder that i should have stuck to languages that are part of an actual family))#((i want to know more 'if you know one you know them all' languages))#anyway that's my language rant for today and if it wasn't for my number crossover i'd be a bit more 'why did i decide to learn korean UGH'#(the answer is immersion btw. i thought if i keep watching korean stuff i might as well learn the language bcs at least i've got immersion)

YGHHHHFHF interviews are a joke

#‘tell me about a time that you had to explain a complex technical problem to someone with little technical background’ no. fuck uou #i don’t Have an experience like this. unless we’re considering my incomprehensible rambles on here which i don’t think count as explaining #the problem is that i incorporate the arts into my engineering assignments and conversations all the time ex flute experiment for data #analysis class. and i have to explain what’s going on there bc most ppl in engineering do not know these things. but there aren’t really any #opportunities to do the opposite w arts ppl like no humanities class is giving me an assignment that lets me just go on abt coding or logic #gates or breadboards or whatever #personal #the engineering chronicles #also ‘why are manhole covers round’ ?????#this wasn’t a real interview ftr. just a practice one that im drafting answers to rn. but #edit okay just made up some bullsht abt a presentation to my honors class on coding. it’s not totally bullshit because i did actually plan #to give a presentation on this (assignment was to pick smth you know a lot abt that most ppl in the room wouldn’t and just talk abt it) but #ended up not having to bc it was a super informal thing that we wound up moving on after a class period but they don’t need to know that so.

Robin was interviewed in the morning television earlier today and oh god I want to hug him 🥺

and not only because his (porko-like) leopard print jacket looked so cosy and soft

#the whole interview had such a...low-key negative vibe somehow?#the interviewer asked some interesting questions alright but it felt like robin was constantly asked to explain himself #first robin was asked why he's in UMK now when years ago he said he thinks eurovision/umk ''distorts the artist's image''#(as in they will from then on be known as ''the artist who went to eurovision'')#then he was asked what he himself had to do with making of his UMK song (as if no one expects him to be in no way part of it)#then he was asked if he was expecting the song to face so much criticism #and it does seem like he at some point realised (before the song was released) that it's not what people were expecting of him #ngl i'm one of them but at the same time i feel a little sorry for robin who genuinely seems to love the song #and thinks it represents him the best. and like. if the artist thinks like that then who am i to argue with it?#robin: ''...and no matter how the song does in UMK i'm still gonna have a great song to perfom in concerts''#the interviewer: ''so you're gonna keep perfoming it regardless?''#(said in a tone that says ''oh so you're gonna be performing it even though it's crap'')#okay well then the interviewer talks about how lordi was not praised either when they were chosen for ESC #to which robin doesn't have much to say because he was so young that he can't remember so that was awkward as well 😂#then he had to answer questions about why he was driving a car and filming a video for social media at the same time #''how did you end up with this decision to film while driving a car?'' (said in a tone that implies he's a little thick)#tbh was stupid on his part and he did apologise again #he said he's so conscientious that he wants to do everything he's promised he would (in this case answering fan questions i guess)#and he knew that was the only time that day that he'd have the time for that and that it was in an area with little traffic #and while i'm also judging him for doing it i also feel a little sorry for him because oh little one you don't HAVE to do everything 😭#sometimes you simply don't have the time and energy. next time i'd rather you don't answer fan questions than do it while driving #then (with no transition whatsover) he was asked if he's planning on wearing mismatched shoes until the end of his career 🙄#(said in a tone that implies he should grow out of it already)#a question i'm sure he's never answered before lol #then they talked about the incident at his new year's gig #and the interviewer asked if they ever found out WHY someone was throwing beer steins on stage #as if robin (or anyone) would go and ask?! 😂 like. come on. the person was drunk out of their ass probably. there is no deeper reason #but the question made it seem like the interviewer was expecting robin to go ''well they said my songs suck and that i'm probably gay!''#just so that they could make a nice headline out of it lol #anyway. don't ask why i'm writing this all in the tags 😅

im about to complain so hard about irl people u best believe it

#but its not really about this person specifically. disregarding the fact she annoys me so much #this girl has always made me feel like an evil bitch who is only capable of hurting everyone around me. and her friends told me as much #and whats worse is we used to be friends too. im not gonna lie and say i never made mistakes in my friendships #but theres a difference between showing me i did something wrong and demonizing me for it #but somehow she has been following me everywhere i go. she followed me to a summer program. she followed me in volunteer programs.#she followed me to my damn high school and then she followed me to that stupid group job interview #and shes better than me in every single way and i wouldnt care if i just didnt know her #i hate feeling jealous and petty like this because then i feel like im proving her right but oh my god #i wouldnt care if i didnt get that job if SHE didnt answer those questions perfectly with no struggle or stutter and such a big smile #everytime she shows up its like theres no point that i do anything at all #who cares if i dont get a job but why would it have to be given to HER. and i know it will. because shes better and she always does #the only time she doesnt get something is if she herself refuses it. and i try to ignore it i try not to feel this way #because it feels so gross and like she was right about me all along. but im so tired too #aricouldyounot

Cancelled the in person interview for today after discussing phone interview with Mum and Housemate last night (and the numerous red flags and cost of the lyft there and back for a job that ultimately the place wouldn't be able to convince me to take if offered, bc the general consensus was 'this is literally likely to be as bad as the current job BUT with the added cost of lyfts back and forth that they wouldn't be paying enough to offset, why on earth would you (me) take this job lmaooooo')

Which works out good bc the ongoing Mum trauma stuff is hitting hard as soon as I've woken and maybe I can get the Big Cry out today. Or write down any of the memories that have been playing on repeat in my mind

(with all this said, yes, I still asked and do legitimately care abt my mum's opinion and experience with jobs despite this; yes it feels weird; no I don't know how healthy that is or not lmao but I'm gonna lean towards Not Healthy bc im discovering that the work my previous doc did certainly uncovered this codependency and trauma which absolutely was a great help but like...we didn't actually really untangle any of it so I could try and untangle myself from my mum, even from 1600+ miles from one another. So. probably not healthy.)

#text post #Housemate was the far more helpful one of ae and mum tho and im very grateful ae took the time to talk over the interview with me #to help me figure out if doing the in person was worth it #mum did kind of help in that she pointed out several dakota eye like red flags from the employer that in retrospect yeah #were flying right in front of my face but i just. want to find better work so it's hard to ignore the red flags sometimes #until someone else goes uhhhhh hey maybe not this job no matter how desperate you feel #which is what it boiled down to more or less in discussion with both of them last night #it's just a weird thing of mum was still helpful and im glad i had a call with her but also it was low key triggering #and part of me wants to call her back and ask if she knows that she's a major part of why i struggle to say no to anyone #who feels even vaguely an authority figure over me no matter what my feelings are or if im being hurt #because id rather be obedient and pleasing than independent and honest (& possibly disappoint ppl with the latter)#but let's be real she wouldn't have an answer. it's beyond her to even think of this stuff #she'd be upset and offended and I'd be groveling like usual to try and make up for daring to question any part of our relationship #the same groveling i do on autopilot for any potential offense because it doesn't matter even if i asked & was given permission #im still always finding there's something i need to ask her forgiveness for anyway #but i love her and am incredibly grateful for her and how much she's given of herself to me as a single mum #idk im gonna shut up abt emotions for now and figure out what on earth im doing with myself today

im so bad at answering questions ack

#the woman who did the phone interview asked me to provide a specific example of problem solving in my customer service experience #which i shouldve anticipated but did not bc i havent interviewed for a job in one bazillion years #and my mind went completely blank. i kind of stumbled my way through a general example and i feel so stupid but its okay im not like.#. like i wont be too broken up about it if i dont get called back for another interview. it would be nice though #why so questions. the answerer
