The Ivy Cait Sith

Hello! You can call me Ivy. This is a multi-fandom and personal blog. I don't tag much, so if you need tags for filtering you may not want to follow me. I also don't make many original posts (I'm shy online and frankly have no idea what I'm doing, and you won't be missing much). I'm old enough to have learned in school that putting personal info online is not safe. I tend to avoid doing it. Do they still teach that in schools? They should maybe teach it more. Stay safe and take care of yourselves out there!

this is one of those videos I decided to download and save so I can find it again in case this post ever disappears

saw someone mix up "abysmal" and "abyssal" today, so as a reminder:

her skills are abysmal = she is unskilled

her skills are abyssal = her abilities draw upon the forbidden power of the dark void

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head (1954 – 2026)

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

i do appreciate the way that we tumblr users have evolved our language to discuss our feelings related to The Character/The Guy. you used to have to just say he was hot or he was making your ovaries explode or he was a precious cinnamon roll even if he looked bad or was just kind of standing there or whatever. now you can say things like “the creature” or “he looks so sopping wet here” or “i want to chain him to my radiator” like it’s just more inclusive and adaptable to the situation

[twobeesornottwobees]

as someone on the asexual spectrum, this shift in language genuinely made me feel more comfortable and happy in fandom spaces. i've never once wanted to lick a man's abs. i HAVE wanted to chain a man to my radiator. and that's beautiful.

Rotating the blorbo in the microwave of your mind just says so much. No specifics needed.

what can you do if you get fired for attendance? how can you get a job after that?

👻 -for finding later

Fired for attendance is way better than being fired for embezzlement. So look on the bright side!

The first thing you need to do is recognize WHY your attendance was lacking. Were you sick, mentally or physically? Did you not have reliable transportation to work? Understand what went wrong so you know what to tell a future employer in a job interview.

And once you know the problem and how to talk about it to a potential employer... also be prepared to tell them how this time will be different.

A separate thought: it's none of the new employers' business why you left a prior job. If they ask in the interview, just say, "I don't think it was a great fit, so I decided to look elsewhere." If they don't ask, don't volunteer. The only impact that the reason for your termination should have is on you: if it's something you control, then work on fixing it. If it's not something you control, then you get to see how it affects you at the new job. (It might be something that you think you can't control but you can, like "I find it really hard to complete a project, I get bored about 80% through," could very easily actually be "I have ADHD.")

Anyway, somebody wants to know why you left a job, be vague, be boring, and pivot back to why you're interested in their job. If you're worried about your references burning you, I would say that 95% of the time, employers these days are going to confirm dates of employment and job title on departure and that's it. You can also tell them not to contact your last employer, especially if you have others.

Very well said!

happy pride month to those in the closet. to those who went back into the closet. to those who have unsupportive families, friends and relationships. those who were bullied and harassed because of their identity. those who were killed because of who they truly were and loved.

you are loved and appreciated.

The funny thing about generational trauma is that it doesn't really look like trauma. It just looks like "that funny thing that everyone's mom does for no apparent reason."

phaidei pride week!! realization

[thatdisasterauthor]

Honestly, I kinda...hate the trope(?) of "now that these characters are together, you don't get to see their lives as intimately as you did when they were still in the early stages because it's a REAL relationship now and you, weird little voyeuristic reader/watcher, don't get to be part of that."

Like. No. I am here to enjoy their relationship! All of their relationship! Stop closing the door just because they made it official! They're fictional! They don't need privacy from the watcher/reader!

And we don't have enough media with established couples anyways! So many stories end with the solidification of the relationship and then never show us much, if anything, about once they're solid. Let us enjoy it when we do actually get those parts of the story!

[ivipl1]

nastiest trick in the book is getting you genuinely deeply attached to a character whose name sounds fucking stupid in any other context. this WILL happen to you at some point in your life.

[probuccalfat]

some of you are perfectly fine people but you need to develop self esteem and distress tolerance so bad how are you ugly and having the worst day of your life every day

[probuccalfat]

people sent me death threats for this one

[freedominthedarkmp3]

One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well I’m Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. I’m Greek.

[pastelpinkcheeks]

One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I’m not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said “oh no I’m Brazilian hahah” and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, “I’m Brazilian too”

When my dad went to China on a work trip, his Mandarin speaking wasn’t great but his listening was fine (his first language is Cantonese) and he encountered a German guy who had moved to China to work. My dad knew how to speak German because he studied it in university (but wasn’t great when it came to listening to new vocab he hadn’t studied before), and the German guy knew Mandarin because he lived and worked in China, so they had a conversation where my dad spoke to the German guy in German and the guy responded in Mandarin. I’m sure it confused a lot of their coworkers who just saw the Asian guy speaking German and the white guy speaking Mandarin.

Some years ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that had a service depot in China.  One of the engineers from the main office here in the US spent most of his time at the depot.  The problem was that he didn’t speak *any* of the various Chinese languages, and no one at the depot spoke any English. They all, however, spoke Spanish.
