Lawful Evil, I'd say.

Just wanted to welcome all the spambots that started following me the last month. I haven’t posted anything in a year, real people don’t follow inactive people!

Have you ever played Fallout New Vegas?

I have! I’ve completed it twice, and played all the DLC. 

Have you ever fought a Robobrain in New Vegas? If you have, you’ve heard my voice! I’m in the game, and it was REALLY fun to be part of it.

[emilysmum]

My husband is playing right now! When I asked if he knew this, he said yes, but he killed the Robobrain before it could speak. Sorry, Wil!

it is always hilarious to me that hermione managed to go 7 books with a reputation as a goody two shoes. all the school rules she’s broken…heck all the international wizarding laws she’s violated….kept a person in a jar for a year

As a straight A student with a reputation as a goody two shoes, I cannot begin to tell you the shit I got away with.

Being known as the quiet rule-abiding kid gave me a free shot at electrocuting my entire physics class because no one thought I’d do it

My uncles used to say about my aunt that if the teachers heard a gunshot and ran into the room to see her standing over the still-twitching body of a classmate holding a smoking gun in her hands, they would have said, “Erica! Don’t touch that! There might be fingerprints!”

My Grandma worked toll booths and one time a guy came through being really rude and she called him a stupid bimbo and he went over to the office to complain and her manager called in her booth asking if she called the guy a bimbo and she said “Me?? I would never” and her manager said “See I knew you wouldn’t, that’s exactly what I told the guy. Donna would never say something like that. Sorry to bother you”

I’ve told this story before, but when I was in high school I overheard a teacher chewing out a stoner kid and giving him detention for saying “damn”, knew I hadn’t gotten in trouble for saying “fuck” to my math teacher that same day, and decided to test this. I skipped health, drove off campus, got a fast food lunch, drove back to campus, sat myself down in the middle of the quad and ate it. Like, half a dozen teachers or so walked by and said “Hi” and none gave me detention or asked if I should be somewhere. It was not a time of day when anyone had lunch. At the end, I went to my counselor, said, “I had a bad day and skipped health, can I get a note?”  And she wrote me a note, and there were zero, zip, no consequences to me actually breaking like six rules, and this kid got in trouble for a word that wasn’t even a swear. That was my first true “aha” on the subject of privilege, that I could not get in trouble if I tried.

They’d decided I was a good kid, and confirmation bias did the rest.

[crazy-pages]

This started somewhere very funny and ended somewhere very serious.

As an adult, I can tell you this holds over into the workplace. If you are seen as a hard worker, you can get away with slacking off (occasionally at least). So make a good first impression and you can get away with a lot! If you start off with a slacker reputation, you may never recover.

Y'all remember the first time you watched infinity war and it showed the wakandan fight and how everyone was getting weaker, even Bruce in the Hulkbuster and he was convinced that they were gonna lose but then suddenly in comes a big ass fuckin AXE with lightning and it decks like 20 aliens before flying back to Thor and then he just yells “bring me Thanos!!!” and fckin OBLITERATES LIKE 300 ALIENS WHILE THE AVENGERS THEME IS BLARING IN THE BACKGROUND? Yeah.
