i am a nightmare and a cat, i have now pushed off the table your cup

soulmate

i once met a traveler, a wanderer.

kindred souls - we called ourselves,

connected in a way so intricate,

so purposefully simillar,

like two pieces of a whole.

yet we were not halves of one,

we were a matching pair.

Ryan: What’s your greatest strength?

Demon!shane: Getting out of corn mazes

Ryan: Uh… okay. and your greatest weakness?

Demon!shane: I keep finding myself unexpectedly in corn mazes

Ryan: *realizing they’re in a corn maze* What the hell?

Demon!shane: Guess it’s my time to shine

sun and moon

original story test

part one

enter: the moon princess

into a room walked a teenaged girl with long, bright white hair. her posture was straight and her clothing was regal. her face said nothing. but her most prominent feature?

her most prominent feature were her stark black eyes, there was no other colour but black. her gaze was terrifying and untraceable. the deep black pulled you into cold depths that will never release you, it felt.

"guard, leave us." she commanded the guard stationed by the only entrance and exit to the room and the woman didn't hesitate to follow instructions.

the room was one that held a visitor, his name, alrec.

alrec was a teen with plain looks, brown hair and brown eyes.

"what is the purpose of this urgent visit of yours?" the princess asked, her tone blank.

the other teen immediately lit up, "riri, it's been so long!!!" he cheered.

the white haired girl's blank expression melted into a softer one, "reccie, your message sounded bad." her voice was a concerned one.

"it is terrible, my dear riri, i have not laid eyes upon you, my dearest friend in eons, what a travesty!" alrec dramatised.

the princess laughed, "reccie, you're terrible!" she joked.

"ririiiiiiiiii." alrec complained.

the black eyed princess shook her head with a smile, "my name's undina, use it sometime."

the brunette boy pouted, "riri, you meanie."

undina placed her hands on her hips, "i'm only telling you to adress me by my name! you know it ties i-"

"-into our historical culture of the moon moving the tides of the seas of the earth, i know, riri." alrec finished, knowing the speach from previous mischiefs.

"hey, riri, let's go out, let's have fun!" alrec immediately suggested his new idea.

undina hesitated, she hadn't seen alrec in months, but she was the princess still, "let's!" she agreed.

"i just have to change clothes, promise i'll be right back!" and with a wink the princess was out again.

Bastille could do radioactive but imagine dragons couldn't do pompeii

dolphins are bastards

as a people pleaser, i can safely say thinking about yourself first is difficult.

BUT YOU GOTTA

YOUR OPINION ABOUT YOURSELF SHOULD MATTER MOST

YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF

YOUR TRASH? TOO BAD, LOVE YOURSELF AND LIVE WELL, TRASH

I'LL HAVE YOUR EAR BONES IF YOU DONT CARE FOR YOURSELF FIRST YOU CUTE HOT ATTRACTIVE BITCH

rose tinted glasses are so last century

it's honey tinted now

Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase. 

“I won’t be available.”

Imagine you’re at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day off–coming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really don’t want to give up your day off.

If you consider yourself a millennial you’ve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if you’re a gen-Z kid you’re likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:

Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Cave when they pressure you to come in anyway, since you’re not doing anything important.

Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Over-apologize and worry that you looked bad/unprofessional.

Lie and say you’ve got a doctor’s appointment or some other activity that feels like an adequate justification for not working.

The fact is, it doesn’t matter to your boss whether you’re having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you won’t be at work. So telling them why you won’t be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.

If you say “I won’t be available,” giving no further information, you’d be surprised how often that’s enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say “sorry, but I won’t be available.” But don’t make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, they’ll accept that as a ‘no’ and try to find someone else. 

But bosses aren’t always professional. Sometimes they’re whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer is–politely and sympathetically give them no further information.

“Are you sure you’re not available?” “Sorry, but yes.”

“Why won’t you be available?” “I have a prior commitment.” (Which you do, even if it’s only to yourself.)

“What’s your prior commitment?” “Sorry, but that’s kind of personal.”

“Can you reschedule it?” “I’m afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?”

If you don’t give them anything to work with, they can’t pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, they’ll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.
