lmao excuse me what

genuinely idk i got lost at this part i spent the whole ep thinking it was the master who had done all the stuff they’d talked about (texting the doctor and working with mi6 or whatever) so this threw me

my office went into remote work mode super early (yay) but I have an old coworker who now works somewhere more old fashioned and not only did it take them awhile to tell people to work remotely but some of her coworkers keep being like “okay but can we go to the office if we want to?” w h y

my dad’s a manager at his firm and on thursday he told his team to work from home, one guy was like “no i wanna come in”, and then by friday the official corporate edict came out that you were working from home unless you had an approved reason to come in (like some of his coworkers work in a lab)

guy on his team did not make the cut lmao

that’s what i want the public service to do though. there’s like 300k of us in the city or something, haphazard won’t make as much of a difference as an official rule. shut it down!!

i was never super attached to vaughn but every time i read one of your BL posts about him just laughing nervously what the fuck . png

vaughn’s a cishet frat boy now 

i think if i hadn’t played tales/he was a new character i’d still find him obnoxious but knowing his uh origin story and how he behaved in tales makes it even stranger and more jarring. also i hate chris hardwick so it’s just all around a bad time.

daenystormborn replied to your post: today marks a year since i (knowingly) ate gluten!...

i find the social awkwardness/lack of convenience to just eat whatever to be the worst part! there are so many good alternatives/options these days but wow do i still miss being able to just pick a restaurant/eat something random without having to fear for anything

definitely! it’s such a huge pain in the ass and unless people have some kind of food allergy themselves they tend to not Get It like at all. “they have gluten free pizza!” “was it prepared in any way separately from the regular pizzas” “........????” lol

and people get weird about it or offended if i turn down their offer of food or want to look at an ingredient list ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

daenystormborn replied to your post: has being gluten free gotten easier?

if you ever need any GF brand or recipe suggestions lmk! im not sure what is available in canada but ive been GF for about 10 years so ive tried a lot of things loll

:O I did not realize!

Brands tend to be pretty different between the US and Canada alas.  I have not yet ventured into the world of gluten free baking myself but inevitably one day will and might hit you up for recipes.

characters for you if you're still bored at work - Tifa, Mystic Maya, and/or Scully

Tifa!

First impression: unfortunately i'm pretty sure it was when they first showed footage from remake and men on the internet complained her tits were too small and I was looking at the discourse like

Impression now: I love Tifa and my primary goal in rebirth is to make her approval rating go up. Her punches have the power of kicks

Favorite moment: hmm my memories of Remake are pretty foggy now and I'm barely into Rebirth. I suppose predictably, I like all the childhood flashback stuff. I also liked voiceover Tifa roasting me for poking around her house. And I like all the synergy moves that amount to "throw Tifa at the enemy".

Unpopular opinion: honestly I don't think I'm clued into ff7 fandom at all so I don't know what's popular or unpopular lol.

Favorite relationship: Tifa and Cloud ofc love me Tifa. But I have a soft spot for Barret and Tifa too. Bros...

Maya!!

First impression: Honestly I remember my first impression way back in 2020 being like "oh I don't get to keep Mia..? 🤨". Sorry Maya

Impression now: I love Maya... weirdgirl supreme... everyone wants what she has. The measure against which all others are judged. I miss her so much in AA4.

Favorite moment: i love when she busts nick's chops which is like, every five minutes. for more serious moments, probably either of two from Turnabout Goodbyes: yelling at Lotta for perjury and getting held in contempt, or rushing MVK and his taser. In retrospect it really is a shame 1-4 is the only climax she gets to be part of :/ OH. Lmfao. And when you try to present the picture of Greg to Edgeworth and Maya intervenes like "What the fuck is wrong with you" fhlhfgkl so funny. Thanks babe

Idea for a story: I don't know if I have a great answer for this bc it's either something I kind-of want to write or it's something underbaked. I want to write something where Maya gets to showcase her emotional maturity and depth and all the stuff she bottles up for the sake of her family. Which is pretty vague, as concepts go. I want her and Nick to talk about Mia, I want her and Edgeworth to talk about Phoenix, I want her and Franziska to talk about their insane family legacies.

Unpopular opinion: Nick is definitely not her father figure lol.

Favorite relationship: 🥺 Nick and Maya ofc. I don't ship it at all and I don't think there's anything remotely romantic in their interactions (sorry Pearl) but I think fandom overcorrects by talking like they're Literal Family. They're a weird secret third option (Doctor-companion style besties). Shipwise: Franmaya lol

Favorite headcanon: I'm not sure how to distill any of them into a bullet point lol.
