These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

[brittlepredatordemon]

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.

I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.

My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."

That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

[wishful-seeker]

I see people outing their shitty companies they worked at in the reblogs and I just want to say KEEP DOING IT

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

you were almost turned into a vampire, but before you could be fully turned, the vampire was staked. This left you with a vampire weakness, while still being human.

Spin the wheel to find out your weakness!

How much does this effect you?

Nothing changes

It's inconvenient but I can deal with jty

It will be hard to adjust but I'll figure it out

I don't know if I'll be able to live like this

Maybe I can find another vampire to finish the turning?

I might just kill myself

thanks @theemmjay for submitting this poll idea!! Seriously it's such a cool concept I love it so much

[penny-anna]

a problem w existing in the 2020s is you'll just be getting on with things and then suddenly learn that the HP fandom has had some whole cultural phenomenon ending in a massive book deal and the movie rights being sold and the whole shebang and out of curiosity you go and look up the fic and its not even good.

[penny-anna]

as an aspiring author its best not to think too hard about the people getting *clenching teeth* seven figure book deals for writing mediocre HP fanfiction lest one starts rattling the bars of one's cage

[penny-anna]

99% of the time i live in a blissful world that's entirely moved on from HP and then i learn something like this and its as if the vast shadow of an underwater behemoth just passed beneath my tiny boat

[penny-anna]

People asking if this is about Alchemised. Yes but actually no. I just learned of this:

If you're not aware of how absurdly popular some of these fics are:

If you do not have a job then it's your duty to post about the characters Constantly. If you do have a job then it's your duty to imagine the characters in your job and also to neglect your job so you can post about the characters Constantly

[spookyboywhump]

I do really love it when women write graphic and fucked up things. I feel like so often people react to fucked up fiction with “of course a disgusting man would write this 🙄” and it often carries an unspoken (honestly sometimes spoken) message of “a woman’s PURE and DELICATE and FEMININE mind could NEVER think of something this VILE”. Thank you women in fucked up fiction 🫡

one of my fave tdt chapters is the substance party bc u see this fiery, wild, boyish gansey take place. he is no longer the gansey of the day that is polite and professional and handles conflict maturely. no, he's furious and cocky and mouthy and ronan absolutely loves it. he feeds off of it actually. gansey has this oomph that comes out every now and then and it was really cool to see it when egged on by kavinsky. and then to top it all off, loverboy ronan getting all these feelings bc gansey is leaving him for d.c. and he hasn't felt such a rush of adrenaline in so long. he loves what they are together. ronan-and-gansey. also the "dream me the world" line ending the chapter. chef's kiss.
