I decided to do a thing. So, every time I feel like shit and negativity threatens to take over me, I will tell someone how awesome they are. I’ll just be randomly popping in on the dash and in IM saying you’re awesome, amazing and ILY. This goes to all you who see this post, not just the ones I tag under the cut (bcz I am too bad at tagging everyone, but I swear, i’ll try), but each and one of you reading this. You are amazing and keep being yourselves no matter what. You are awesome and supportive and I love you all those who stuck with me so long. YOU ARE ALL AMAZING PEOPLE AND THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Keep reading

:[ I’ll openly admit that I keep forgetting about both of my blogs because of college work, but I wanted to wish you all a (kind of belated) Happy New Year! I also wanted to get the chance to make something like this because I feel like y’all need to know before I disappear again and end up taking a small hiatus --

So I don’t particularly come online often and I take even longer to reply, but it goes without saying that the tg rp community has been so so welcoming and the chances that I have had to speak to roleplayers on here have always been pleasant/made me laugh (side eyes all of those silly edits). For that reason I wanted to make this; for everyone reading/those who I tag- I’m sorry if I forget anyone, just know I mean all of my followers- I love you all?? you’re all supportive and great and I’m really happy you’ve decided to stick around for as long as you have. THANK YOU + I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE <3 ]

Shoutout to these people in particular (they’re the first blogs I really interacted with!);

In Memory of Carrie Fisher: Princess Leia Roleplaying Sentence Starters

"Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, Nerf-herder!"

" Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited."

" I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee."

"I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain."

"Well, I guess you don't know everything about women yet."

"I hope you know what you're doing."

"You don't have to do this to impress me."

"Would it help if I got out and pushed?"

"I happen to like nice men."

" Stop that. My hands are dirty."

" I am not a committee!"

" I thought you knew this person."

" I have a bad feeling about this."

" We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer."

"Some day you're gonna be wrong, I just hope I'm there to see it."

"You certainly have a way with people..."

"I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay?"

"Someone has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy."

"I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

" It's a wonder you're still alive."

"Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?"

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."

"You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive."

"Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody."

"They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape."

"I knew there was more to you than money.

"Put that thing away, you're gonna get us all killed!"

"Looks like you've managed to cut off our only escape route."

"This is some rescue! You came in here, but didn't you have a plan for getting out?"

"You're a jittery little thing, aren't you?"

"Who have they found to pull that off?"

"You know, no matter how much we fought I've always hated watching you leave.

"You think I want to forget him? I want him back."

“I am, I am!” A huff is offered in response, leaning over the back of the couch in order to get a better look at the screen. Perhaps watching television isn’t the most productive way to be spending breaks – but with a majority of his paperwork already completed and the rest of his coworkers busy (correction: they’d left him behind again) he’d rather this than be doing absolutely nothing.

“Man, it looks like I’ve missed most of it already…”

[wiingeddetective]

Sure, she was done with paperwork and was between cases now. She had some spare time. She sat on the couch next to him. “This is part two of episode one….I think I have the first part recorded at home.” She mentioned under her breath. The figures on the screen were still investigating what happened at the crime scene and who shot the chief from last episode.

[subordinations-blog]

“Lucky. I didn't get time to record anything at home. Watching it here is my best bet." If the slight frustrated edge to his tone doesn't already make it obvious, his 'best bet' isn't actually that good. Seidou has an hour or so free for lunch break and, even then, it can't be guaranteed the staff room will be unoccupied -- assuming he hasn’t being given extra work or files to locate within the archives instead. Houji loves to surprise him with small research tasks and he curses himself for being so eager to please constantly. He’d be far more relaxed if he wasn’t always aiming to impress people.

“I guess it isn’t too hard to figure out what’s going on...” Someone died, investigators are confused, people are sad, yada yada. In retrospect it’s not that far off from his own career (perhaps an improvement). At least they’re not EATING eachother.

“Ah -- you’re still open, right?” His head is poked awkwardly around the door of the shop, tired eyes focused on the purple haired girl. Seidou couldn’t stand drinking the coffee back at the office any longer (he’s sure that awful stuff is poisonous) and had opted to finding the nearest place open in hopes of getting a cup of something decent. At such a ridiculous hour of the night most places are closed - all of them except for one. He just hopes they aren’t planning on shutting any time soon.

“I-I’ll... I’ll pay extra to keep you a little longer. Anything.”

Dialogue from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood S1E2 (These are from the english dubbed version.)

“The ones about his miracles?” “They say he could transmute flowers out of thin air right?” “Could just be slight of hand or some trick like that.” “DAMN BOOKS! THEY TELL US EVERYTHING BUT HOW TO FIND IT!” “I think I have a good feeling about this one.” “Yeah…but it’s not scribbling.” “How can he teach us anything if he’s not here?” “I’m sorry. Did we mess up?” “A sickness came and it took her.” “DON’T EVEN TALK ABOUT HIM!” “That bastard doesn’t even care about us.” “You know there might be a way to bring mom back.” “That’s right. That’s why it’ll be our little secret.” “WE’RE NOT CRYING!” “AND WHO ARE YOU TO TALK ANYWAY? EVERY TIME YOUR PARENTS GO SOMEWHERE, YOU CRY LIKE A BABY!” “ARE YOU SURE? BABY!!” “Hey what are you going to do that for?! Hold up!” “No. I hate milk.” “YOU MEAN LIKE YOU?! YOU SOD OFF OLD HAG!” “SHRIMP DOWN MINI WITCH!” “MANIAC BABY!” “Leave us alone, will you?” “In other words, it’s not of your damn business, (muse’s name).” “Right! We’ll be there!” “You know whoever invented stew must’ve been a genius.” “It’s even got milk in it and it still tastes good.” “That’s a leap of imagination.” “Sure it is! Just one leap that’s all it takes and it’s what we need to figure out human transmutation.” “So we began searching for the key that would unlock the secrets of human transmutation and bring mom back to life.” “We trained with an alchemy teacher to prepare our bodies as well as our minds.” “We wanted to go back to our lives with her. The way that used to be.” “That’s what drove us. Day and night.” “It can’t be…A rebound?” “Wait… what was I doing?” “Who are you?” “IT’S TOO MUCH! IT’S TOO MUCH! MAKE IT STOP!” “WHAT’S HAPPENING TO ME?!” “STOP IT! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!” “My head felt like it was about to burst.” “MOM! MOM PLEASE!” “All of the answers I need are right here.” “Please you have to show it to me again.” “Toll? What toll?” “DAMINT! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING! IT CAN’T BE” “THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO…..NO!” “HE’S GONE! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!” “SOMEBODY HELP ME! Please mom! Mom please.” “No. This is wrong! This isn’t…this isn’t what we wanted!” “This is all my fault!” “No damnit! You won’t take him too!” “Give him back. He’s my brother.” “Take my leg. Take my heart. Take anything, YOU CAN HAVE IT!” “Just give him back!” “HE’S MY LITTLE BROTHER! HE’S ALL I HAVE LEFT!” “My mind’s made up.” “How long will the surgery and rehabilitation take?” “I’ll do it in one!” “Yeah! Now I just need to try some alchemy!” “I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve tried to use it!” “You can do it too, can’t you?” “So you didn’t see it? Did you?” “HELL IF IT’S HALF AS HARD AS YOU THROW A WRENCH I’D BE SURPRISED!” “Start acting more like a girl and less like a gearhead!” “No that’s okay. I got it.” “You know there are some people who would say this is a good way to assassinate a VIP.” “In the future, you might want to rethink the way you conduct these examinations.” “When did he draw his sword?” “Why is that?” “I like that. It’s nice and intimidating. I think that’ll suit me just fine.”

"Why does the coffee from the    cafeteria look like sludge..."

[manabes]

@subordinations​

Akira and Amon had dismissed him for the night, giving him paperwork to deliver to a few others before he returned home. While they said it had been far from urgent, he took it upon himself to be useful for the pair. Besides, it wasn’t that difficult in the first place, and could be placed in their workboxes if he didn’t have the time. But as he spies the name of a familiar colleague, he’s more than happy to take the few extra minutes to deliver it personally.

❛  Seidou-san? Is this a bad time? ❜  hand rapped at the door, listening for any answer. Hearing none, he turned the knob on the door, being careful to be quite, aware that a disruption would be unwelcome if it was a serious matter being discussed. But as head peeked through, he saw little movement, let alone any at all. If he hadn’t been paying attention, he would have missed it, the tiniest raise of a body slumped over files, computer screen long having been set in sleep mode. The scene is so reminiscent of someone he knows, it makes a gentle smile appear on his face, as he pads his way over, setting files where they belong.

Softly, he shakes him awake, a hand on his shoulder sufficing. No need to startle the poor man awake. He looks drained enough as it is from the caseload alone. ❛  You should go home if you’re tired. Need some coffee?  I can grab you some before I head out. ❜  

[subordinations-blog]

“Mm...” Eyes are reluctantly opened in response to the shake, vision bleary and barely focused on the blank screen sitting inches away from his face. He has no idea what time it is- nor what time he passed out- only that the tiredness is still gnawing at the back of his mind, urging him to simply ignore the blonde and go back to sleep in some petty act of defiance. He should have clocked out hours ago, but at the request (order) of Houji he’d ultimately been left alone within the office to finish overdue papers and fix the varying shameful mistakes littered throughout his reports. 

Whilst usually a man that produces high quality work for his superiors- done swiftly and efficiently, too- as of late his mind has been elsewhere, likely as a result of newfound responsibilities and workplace tensions. He’s reluctant to speak up about it, instead choosing to ignore the issues in hopes of them going away. Deep down, however, he knows it likely wont change for the better any time soon -- but he’d rather wait it out than admit weakness, not daring to lower people’s views of him further. The last thing he needs is someone calling him unreliable because he’s losing sleep over a few forms, fretting because the pile of paperwork seems to be growing quicker than he can cope. 

“Can’t.” Can’t go home. Not right now, anyway. He turns his head to bury his face into the sleeve of his shirt, subtly wiping the drool away from the corner of his mouth in doing so, before he sits up with a quiet groan. His appearance is far from professional; hair sticking up, tie crooked, looking more like a small child awoken from a nap than someone to be respected and taken seriously. 

“Coffee... would be nice.” And some blankets, some pajamas, maybe a ride home, and--

“You should leave soon too. Don’t tell me they had you do overtime?”
