girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”

It's actually super unethical to keep a peeve as a pet

[moniquill]

It's literally not, it just requires some basic research about appropriate diet, enclosure needs, and enrichment. Peeves aren't domesticated the way dogs are but they are easily tamable the way hamsters are.

Will agree that many people don't know how to properly keep a pet peeve because of deliberate misinformation from big box petstores, though. The answer isn't 'ban pet peeves/shame people who have pet peeves' though, it's proper education.

... you're not one of those people who thinks it's unethical to even -hold- a grudge, right?

i just think 9/10 times "what if these characters settled down into a comfortable domestic situation" is one of the least interesting ways to examine a dynamic. but i understand that, and i mean this in the most neutral way possible, being interesting is not the actual point of most people's fanworks and media interpretation. i will still be complaining about it though.

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

this close to writing a sherlock BBC torchwood crossover in the year of our lord 2026. what the fuck.

Ownership meant a physical copy. Now you own nothing and can't find what you want across multiple streaming platforms.

Bring back headphones that plug in. Bring back expandable memory. Bring back owning media.

i absolutely adore the decision to not give jack's revivals some sort of bad wolf-esque effect. no gold particles, no eerie light, not even a referential leitmotif or sound effect. just a sharp, desperate gasp and the bloody aftermath of his death. it's messy, it's gross, it's human. but it's something less than human and more than human. it's slightly perverse and strange and frightening. and the one thing it is certainly not is godly.

jack harkness is an offcast of the divine and they treat him as such in the most visceral way possible.

when he literally explodes, just pieces of limbs left behind, he grows back from the inside out. he is a mass of writhing meat and exposed nerve, screaming to nothing. praying to a god that no longer exists. i wonder if in that moment, he resented rose. or perhaps the memory of her face was still so fresh in his mind that he couldn't bring himself to curse her, even as he felt his flesh stretch back over his bones.

the best execution i have ever seen of a true immortal character because they make him the narrative's chew toy and i love it
