Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
my amazing friend @/mentikme (on all possible socials!!) just finished my lyoray commission andddd daaAAAAMNNNN look at them. the idiots. feel kinda weird for requesting her to draw a scene from my own gruvion fic but who cares we live only once. anyway. please look at them. i hate their asses.
Strongly recommend giving what you can to the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature's Gaza work, which is actively restoring and utilising farmland in Gaza to grow and provide food especially fresh vegetables.
Hey so since canon didn't want to elaborate on the other guilds, I'm gonna talk about the other guilds and what I think their specialties are. With so many guilds in the country it's only natural they all focus on certain things.
Guilds, in general, are just wizard organizations and can literally do/be anything in my world. I take canon and run 30 feet to the left.
Fairy Tail
Not gonna spend a whole lot of time with them because like, we know. They primarily focus on client requests. Slaying monsters, translations, etc. It's part of the reason they're one of the more popular guilds, they're friendly. A lot of people have had great experiences with Fairy Tail. The shenanigans are just an added bonus. For such a popular guild, they're so easy to get a request into, and because of the guild's size they're usually handled quickly.
Their guild members consist of literally anyone, and they all subscribe to the same breed of nonsense. yk what I mean
Blue Pegasus
While they do operate like the other guilds, they actually focus a lot more on management. They work closely with the magic council to deal with various issues within the magic world. They're the go-to guild to get funding from various people, secure treaties, etc. They're probably the guild that works with the council most, they play the game and they play it well, and they're not above keeping tabs on them for other guilds that have issues with them.
They do a lot of organization for big issues--getting the guilds together for the Oracion Seis, for example. That's not to say they aren't powerful. There are issues in the higher levels of the magic world, and sometimes that means fighting some guy who wants to cause trouble.
They work closely with various guilds for funding matters, for example Lamia Scale for the first response budget--aid isn't cheap in the first place but there's been a lot of wage issues in the past.
TLDR they're the politics guild. They work with some other guilds for matters like this, (of the main guilds, mainly Lamia Scale. Listen you can't trust Fairy Tail to play nice with the rich guys) as well.
Lamia Scale
Bouncing off Blue Pegasus, certain members do help with the more political side of the magic world, but usually older, seasoned members like Jura. They focus mostly on aid and first response, and are always fighting with the magic council for the absolute nonsense they pull during a crisis. Tensions are very high between Lamia Scale and the council and they have a long history of pissing each other off. Lamia Scale's history in general is Fairy Tail levels of fucked up and under-wraps.
They take requests, but usually for reconstruction or aid of some kind. Instead of a request board (which they do have, it's just not as plentiful as Fairy Tail's) they operate under Ooba, Jura, and other elder members of the guild that assign various tasks based on teams ability.
S Class, in their case I haven't come up with a name for it, are for wizards who they trust to handle heavier, more dire situations. They're not gonna send the new kids into something serious unless they really think they can handle it.
Teams are chosen based on their skills. Some teams are better in jobs that require fighting, others are better at evacuations, etc. Ooba is very strict on how members are assigned to various issues, for both the safety of the wizards and the people involved in a crisis. If she doesn't think a member can physically or mentally handle something, they won't go. End of story. They have more levels than just S-Class.
A good chunk of their members were victims of some disaster and would later join after their lives were torn apart. Lamia Scale was called in for help with Deliora's destruction and cleanup, which is why so many Deliora survivors are in the guild. Margaret is comprised of a lot of people who Lamia Scale helped, serving as a place for them to rebuild their lives. As far as loyal cities go, they're way up there. They have a very close relationship to the city and was founded as one of the first cities they helped before even being an organization.
Sabertooth
Under Jiemma, Sabertooth was remarkably difficult to get a request into. He was picky about who and what received their help, and it always had an ulterior motive behind it. They didn't work with other guilds, at all, which was becoming more common pre and during the time-skip, Fairy Tail's influence had a lot to do with that, and Jiemma hates how Fairy Tail operates.
Jiemma, sometimes Minerva, would send members on jobs personally, or they could volunteer to be in the tournaments (more on that later). This meant that members could go months without employment, so when you got a job you made sure to do it damn well so you'd get another one (Jiemma would absolutely kick someone out if they got caught working somewhere else, too, especially retail because he's a classist asshole).
They did a lot of showy jobs, things that would show the public how powerful they are. And if you were employing Sabertooth, you paid well (and most of the money went to Jiemma, because of course it did). He used to put on in-guild tournaments that people could attend, allow people to pay for a chance to fight their members, etc. They were more an entertainment guild than anything, and you would get kicked out if you made the guild look bad.
Post-Jiemma and under Sting, they take a lot of inspiration from Fairy Tail. They rebuilt their relationship with Gazania, though tensions are still there because many of the citizens are people that were were exploiting members through the tournaments (which were. not exactly safe. More than a few career-ending injuries happened). It's kind of a mess.
During Fairy Tail's disbandment, they filled the gap they left by taking requests like they did. The public already had some positive opinions of them, though they had their haters due to their behavior (see GMG cruelty), but they've reconstructed their reputation over time.
They were the council darling guild beside Blue Pegasus under Jiemma, Fiore's pride and joy, etc. Under Sting, they're the biggest pain in the ass. The council hates them. Post-Jiemma, Sting started pushing for regulations on wizard treatment within guilds, and he's a little asshole about it (as he should be). Sabertooth as a whole put a spotlight on all the issues within the magic community that were previously hidden from the public, and they're not quiet about what the council let Jiemma put them through.
Mermaid Heel
They're a newer guild and they're kind-of a combination of everything. They're always working with Lamia Scale for first response, take open requests, and work with Blue Pegasus for more managerial work. It's more up to the wizard for what they'd like to focus on.
They're strategists, creative. They don't do a lot of fighting jobs like Sabertooth of Fairy Tail, but more humanitarian work. They do some entertainment-esc work, guild duels for example (in a healthy way, and they're often fundraisers).
As an all-female guild they face a lot of crap, especially when they first started. The were undermined as fighters, which their stronger members quickly nipped in the bud (I mean, Kagura, c'mon).
The council is pretty fond of them. They do their job well without the shennanigans of the Sabertooth and Fairy Tail or the animosity of Lamia Scale (except they hate the council too and are secretly working against them, especially post TOH and other similar incidents. They're just quiet about it and strike when the time is right.)
