This Is EXACTLY What Hannibal Deserves

Look at where you get your information. Make sure it’s reliable. Stop causing more pain to people already in a rough place. 

Red velvet cupcake: why do you like Gray Fullbuster so much? All he does is strip and make ice sculptures lol

Gray Fullbuster. Love of my life. The only anime/manga dude I fell for the first time I saw him until now. Like, I know there are other good looking anime dudes out there but seriously, the resident Ice Mage from Fairy Tail still has my heart. 

Here are the reasons why:

1. He’s probably one of the most normal members from Fairy TailOkay he does strip from time to time (but come on, it was part of his training with Ur), but if you overlook that, he’s one of the sane people in their guild (like hello, even their Master Makarov can be wack at times lol)

He’s also a kind af guy, in general. He may not look it, Gray is a gentleman, is pretty sensitive to emotions (especially to his closest friends), and knows how to swallow his pride and freaking apologize. 

2. He’s so coolLiterally and figuratively. If he’s not fighting with Natsu or anyone in the guild, he just radiates c a l m. 

Also, unlike Natsu who speaks his mind out, Gray is relatively laidback, reserved, and thinks first before he acts. And me likey *swoon*

3. Fashion sense on point

Yo, have you seen him when he’s got clothes on? The man’s got style, let’s be real here

4. Character Development MVP

If there’s one character in Fairy Tail who had the best character development, I’ll give the trophy to Gray. He went from someone willing to sacrifice himself just to end the ghosts of his past that were haunting him (poor man was so caught up in his past that his guilt messed him up), to someone who now looks into the future, values his life, and never gives up for his friends and family aka the guild. 

5. The way he babies Lucy and Wendy

JUST LOOK AT HIM

AND LOOK AT HIM DANCING WITH WENDY SKSKSKSKSKS

6. His beautiful ice-make magic

His weapons are honestly beautiful and aesthetic. And they’re made of ice too, so the pretty factor just went up to 100. 

Also when he upgraded from Ice Make Wizard to Ice Demon Slayer? GIIIIIIIIRRRRRRLLLL 

7. Sometimes a dork

The way he called Frosch cute sksksksksksksks tell me that is adorable or I will throw hands (lol jk)

8. (BONUS) He’s also hot when he’s mad

Nuff said.

ugh wreak me, Daddy sksksksks

Send me dessert asks!

During a conversation with my manager this morning, she mentioned that her manager– the district manager– had told her that “We want people who are passionate about our products. We don’t want people working here if they’re doing it for the money.”

To which the manager (internally, because she doesn’t want to be fired), went “you’ve got to be fucking shitting me.”

Here’s the thing: it is totally possible to do a job for the passion and not be obsessively thinking about the money every minute of every day. In fact, there have been economic studies regarding that very thing.

You know when it starts?

When the employee in question is making $50-75k per year.*

That’s the starting point of financial security. That’s the point when you’re fairly secure that you’re going to have rent, food, and basic living expenses covered. 

I’ve worked a lot of jobs over the years. A lot. I saw the same working as a freelancer– when I charged lower rates, my clients treated me like shit and acted like they were doing me a favor; when I charged more, they respected me as a professional. A newspaper that started out paying me above market wage also treated me very kindly, because they started with the assumption that I was a human being who needs to eat.

In my experience, the employers that insist that your job be your “passion” are also the ones that pay you nothing and treat you like garbage. It’s exactly like abusive people, who tell you that you would put up with their abuse if you “loved them enough”. It’s a way of convincing the victim that they’re responsible for their own mistreatment, which is absolutely fucked up.

Here’s my advice to you:

It is absolutely okay to take a job that doesn’t pay you what you deserve–  you’ve got to eat, after all. But don’t think for a second that you have a responsibility to that job. If you see something available that pays better and treats you better, take it and don’t look back. Don’t waste an ounce of sympathy for employers who try to convince you that passion is an acceptable substitute for survival. 

Have you ever been apart of a small fandom and just wanted to scream about how amazing it is and everyone should read/watch it? No, just me.
