I hate that planned obsolescence is starting to reach fandoms. I hate that fandoms are starting to die after two, three years, I hate that whenever you stop getting content that means the fandom will die and be gone.
I need people to stop trying to brush off old interests as being 'cringe' as soon as you lose interest, or worse: make it seem like it's imoral to like something that they themselves held so dear before.
Fandoms are meant to last for years and years, the moment content stops being created is the moment we truly thrive because we keep creating the content ourselves the way we love it and expand on the things that are already there for us.
I don't care if you lost interest on something, it's fine and normal even, but stop trying to blame and make fun of people who still do love the fandom and the content and the things we can create.
So Solomon's been around for a while, right? What if his vocabulary just slips through random decades with no rhyme or reason and he can't turn it off?
Imagine Solomon responding to something you said, completely straight-faced, with:
works the counter since she’s the only one who can truly put up with the elderly customers and their bullshit
tries to run a tight ship and is constantly exasperated by her coworkers’ antics
whenever she gets a truly mean customer who doesn’t respond to the nice treatment she brings in……….
liz:
usually works the drive thru unless she has to step in and take an asshole down a peg
cares enough about her job to be good at it but not enough to take bullshit
constantly doing her nails or on her phone while taking orders (miraculously she never takes an order wrong)
her timer never reaches more than 50 seconds between a car pulling up and leaving with their food
crona:
does the bagging bc dear god if a customer even looks at them they’ll start tearing up
volunteers to do cleaning in the lobby so they can get away from the stress of the kitchen
is the newest hire and fully intended to be silent for most shifts (maka would never let this happen)
just so happened to come in a week before the employee christmas party and was terrified the entire time
whole heartedly believes kid is their boss which brings us to……….
kid:
is the assistant manager which is fancy talk for The One Who’s Been Here Longest
floats around different positions wherever he’s needed
insane about uniform code
swears he’s not a nepotism hire bc “My Dad (the owner) Didn’t Even Know I Applied”
has an aneurysm anytime soul or black star calls him a Nepo Baby
runs an incredibly tight ship, allows for no shenanigans (they happen anyway)
is sometimes locked in the freezer by his coworkers (“THIS ISN’T FUNNY GUYS I COULD GET HYPOTHERMIA AND DIE!!!…………. while i’m in here i might as well organize”
might as well be the manager honestly, he does everything
soul and black star:
they both work the sandwich counter
it is chaos back there
will constantly battle it out for who can make things faster/better
will occasionally throw things at the back of maka’s head through the window and blame each other
begs whoever’s working the fryer to make them onion rings
they do rock paper scissors for who has to clean the floor (the winner makes it as dirty as possible for the other)
tsubaki:
works either drive thru or cashier, whichever one needs the most help
is the only one who can get black star to do his job
the regulars absolutely adore her, especially the sweet old ladies
always encourages the rest of the staff
arranges all the staff parties
is responsible for the Employee of the Month board (which is almost always maka)
will draw little pictures and tape them up around the drive thru registers (including one of her and liz holding hands bc they’re in love)
is way too good for this arby’s
kilik:
he has no idea why he hasn’t left yet
works the fryer bc he has made it clear to management he will not deal with the customers
always has an airpod in to drown out the bullshit (it drives kid absolutely insane)
pretends to be over soul and black star’s shit but secretly instigates
always volunteers to get stuff from the back freezer but is gone for a suspicious amount of time
