The Darker Side of Romance

Jehan Prouvaire, though not, perhaps, as you have come to know me. With a desire for blood and a touch of insanity, I am far from the little poet with flowers in his hair, with whom you may have fallen in love. Indie RP blog for Jean Prouvaire. FC Alex Pettyfer. Mun and Muse +18, RPs NSFW and triggers. I haven’t read the about pages in a year so don’t feel fussed about them. Always feel free to drop threads! I'll never take it personally and I'll still be happy to RP in the future.

It’s been one year since I finished this Greek beauty and she was one of my first attempts at cutting paper! She’s available on the shop both in mini and standard prints! Happy Thursday!

I really wish there was an option on those Customer Service Surveys that says specifically, “The representative I spoke to was lovely and helpful and deserves all of the raises but I think that you, as a corporation, should die in a fire.”

[bymcr]

hey as somebody who works in one of those companies that sends out those surveys, never, NEVER mention how much you hate the company in them. just talk about the representative. then, go to the company’s social media page and blast your bad reviews there

those surveys decide our pay, they decide whether we get bonuses or not, they decide if we get to keep our jobs or not. i’ve read transcripts on surveys where it’s has been praising the representative but mentioned one bad thing about the company. that fell to the representative because they should have been enough to sway the customers opinion.

[pikestaff-deactivated20200113]

Hey just to add on, if you liked the representative, and the survey is asking for opinions on a scale of 0-10… please give the rep 10′s across the board.  Don’t try to be thoughtful and detailed and put down a 7 or an 8 or a 9.  A lot of times anything below a 9 or 10 counts as a zero (no, for real) and guess who it comes back to?  That’s right, the customer service rep.

[ultramikahd]

At my job anything below a 10 is zero and our store is graded on our survey % so if anyone even puts 9s across the board it’s a 0 in the end and heavily brings down our stores score- which can lead to firings,

corporations: more horrible than i thought

[spadesfiction]

Reiterate: Always score those surveys as 10s. Blast the company itself on social media.

[nihilismpastry-deactivated20230]

So basically they don’t tell you that you’re fucking people over. Once again corporations being slimey as fuck.

[darker-than-you-knew]

I personally worked in a place where anything under 8 was a 0 or a negative score. I’ve been landed with a written complaint on my service because someone wrote in praising my customer service but they disliked what the company had done and there was nothing I could do about that. “Last touch” is a thing, it’s when you’re the last person to deal with an account, and if someone complains about a situation after you’ve sorted it it’s still your fault. Don’t go through general customer service lines if you want to make these complaints, go to managers x

Hi can I wild card after a year+ and ask if anyone wants to RP?

important ship tropes:

fake dating

SECRET dating

being locked in a room or trapped in a small space

huDDLING FOR WARMTH

BEING ON THE BRINK OF ADMITTING THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER BUT THEN GETTING INTERRUPTED

finishing each other’s sentences, KNOWING WHAT THE OTHER IS ABOUT TO SAY

tou chi NG!!!! FOr eheA DS!!!!!!11!!

wearing each other’s clothes

doing that thing where they accidentally get real close and, like, stare meaningfully at each other for a few seconds too long

channeling the inner romcom and having an epiphany about how much they care about each other and RACING TO CONFESS THEIR LOVE

fucking. Now or Never Kiss

HEIGHT DIFFERENCES

defending each other to scathing tertiary or otherwise minor characters but ONLY WHEN THE OTHER ISN’T AROUND

reincarnation or time loop or OOOOH TIME TRAVEL SCENARIOS

dramatically saving each other from certain death or barely surviving something that almost makes the other break down and just smirking wearily and mumbling flippant smartass remarks to HIDE THE DEPTH OF THEIR FEELINGS

undercover as lovers, the classic

ALMOST KISSING. like getting so close that they start to close their eyes and hold their breath and then SOMETHING HAPPENS and they jump apart, that is MORE VALUABLE THAN ANY ACTUAL KISSING

casually sitting on each other’s laps during ensemble cast conversations or scenes

did i mention F AKE DATinG

as someone with a bachelor’s degree in english, i am inexpressibly tired of people telling me to get highly specific jobs that often require highly specific degrees. “just go write for a magazine!” you need a journalism degree for that. “just teach!” you need a teaching certificate, and also fuck you. “just go work at a tutoring place!” tutoring children with learning disabilities, which make up the majority of the clientele at those places, requires not only a teaching certificate but a specialized master’s degree. “just go work at a library!” you need a master’s degree in library science to be a librarian. it is actually a highly skilled and extremely competitive field. you don’t just “go work at a library,” you train for years in the vain hope that you will get one of handful of available jobs. “just go work at a library.” the nerve. the unmitigated gall. “just go work at a library.” ugh.

[krushmaster]

serious question, what can you do with a bachelor’s in english? 

[myrosecolouredgirl]

take you in a fistfight, that’s for damn sure

I really enjoyed drawing this one. It was a doodle that morphed into something more and I’m quite pleased that it came together without any planning out.

[juanjoltaire]

I always enjoy imagining Grantaire dressing flamboyantly. Are there enough hearts in this picture?

Just playing around with Procreate on the ipad, trying to get used to a new program. I think it went okay! Took me quite a while for such a simple drawing but I really did enjoy it so hopefully I’ll get faster with time.

Hi guys, if any of you are in Canada can you do me a little favour and club a couple hundred of the sealers for me?

They’re causing severe declines in the seal population over a collapsed species of fish. This is clearly ridiculous so I’m suggesting a controlled cull of the sealers to allow the seal populations to recover.

Honestly though, if you even bother a seal here you can get 6 months in jail and a £5K fine. Get your shit together Canada.
