Inktober no 13.
since it’s technically the 13th here in Sweden now (by about 1:30 hours) I’m posting it. XD
Cody and Obi Wan getting ready for another engagement against the Seppies. I absolutely love their close relationship in The Clone Wars series, they seem to work so well together and seem to know exactly what the other need to do during battle.
I love it.
My art are not to be used as refs. Thank you.
Person A: What are you doing?
Person B: *squiggling in person A’s arms* Hiding
Person A: …..do you mean hugging?
Person B *pauses* : Did I fucking stutter.
Person B : This is my safe place.
Person B : Now shut up and put your arms around me.
Off the top of my head (and feel free to add; I know I’m missing a ton):
1) since when were kaito’s eyes “a dashing shade of violet”
2) hakuba does NOT wear glasses
3) hakuba has been in england for like the past 10 years, so all your ekoda hs fics are fantasies waiting to be fulfilled
4) i’m pretty sure we took the aoko-and-mop thing and blasted it up ten levels
5) kaito’s famous “nobody gets hurt” policy at heist. i know this one’s hard, but when did he ever actually say that?
6) i love kaishin, but i feel like a good chunk of kaishin fics don’t do shinichi’s character justice. if you’ve read some (the majority, not just the top few), you’ll know what I’m talking about. like fam. we’re talking about kudou shinichi here. even as a seven-year-old, he’s still got a huge ego and the visceral need for control of any given situation. for some reason he ended up as the fandom’s preferred bottom, which is fine, but i can’t imagine him jumping ship that easily.
7) something about kaito and his obsession with crossdressing and panties.
8) the whole “mk black organization is the same dc black organization” mega-theory. y’all know the similarities exist only because gosho’s lazy and re-used the same basic plotline (ok not really, but dc was definitely built out of lessons learned from mk)
9) kaito’s tendency to booby-trap everything. yes, i’m sure he has a bunch of smoke grenades stored somewhere, but I’ve seen so many fics where there’s an entire scene dedicated to just somebody trying to make their way through kaito’s wardrobe or belongings without spontaneously combusting.
10) and last but not least, if kaito and shinichi aren’t cousins, they’re fucking. it’s a given fact.
just realized I understand Luke so much because I also did everything my parent wanted from me, well beyond what any child should be expected to do, in the hopes that they'd be pleased only for them to keep asking for more and more and more and never once putting me ahead of their own desires
only difference is that I went to therapy LMAO
actual conversation i had with my friends today
me: omg you remember that fic i was reading that i talked to you about slow burn that was like 16 chapters in and person A hadn’t even show romantic interest in person B yet
PERSON A JUST GOT JEALOUS OF PERSON B OMG IT’S FUCKING HAPPENING
friend: yayyy
me: OMG THEY ARE TOUCHING EACH OTHER HANDS
OMGGGGGG PERSON A JUST KISSED PERSON B HAND OMG I FEEL LIKE I’M READING SMUT
and that’s what slow burn fics do to me
love those book series that are like
1st book: Hero goes on a big adventure, makes a bunch of friends, and saves the day!
Latest book: Hero copes with debilitating PTSD while growing increasingly disenchanted with the moral dubiety of the people and world around them, yet nevertheless still strives towards a heroic ideal.
Hello. Yes, I’d like to turn your attention toward @rdjlock’s amazing art from their twitter account.
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.
