 thanksgiving ball

agape. - teaser

— You’re an up-and-coming lawyer working for the US Attorney’s Office, secretly dating the Vice President of the United States. What are you willing to do to make sure no one finds out? (an extension of thanksgiving ball) | attorney!reader, vp!thom

 warmth 

—  You’re a law student interning for Harison & Co. Law Offices, dreading your first Christmas alone. After being emotionally manipulated by your two Bastard™ friends to attending the office party, you find yourself spending Christmas with Thomas Jefferson, thinking maybe, Christmas away from home isn’t so bad. | lawyer!thom

The biggest “your experiences are not universal” thing I feel is whenever anyone talks about the universality of girls planning their weddings since childhood because. Well. Not me. God bless

No, he brought you to torment you, not other people

[whetstonefires]

Also something about Jin Guangyao that doesn't get enough play is that he specifically cozied up to Wen Ruohan not just by having neat torture skills of his own, or by being a fantastically cold-blooded yes-man, but by inventing new torture devices to make Wen Ruohan's torture hobby more fun.

Like this wasn't Useful Information Gathering Torture or Punishing Criminals Torture, this was a personal indulgence thing.

Wei Wuxian just drops that fact in passing, when he notes some torture implements stored in the secret room.

And I can't be sure the wording sounded quite so much like it was talking about enabling someone's fetish in the original Chinese as the English translation does, but like. Why have I not seen anyone try to insult jgy by implying he worked in the Nightless City Sex Dungeon. That would piss him off so bad.

@brawltogethernow once again promoting my posts by being funnier than me in the tags

[frankenmouse]

It is so ridiculously easy to gain a reputation for being competent by just reading signs.

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

and you know what? i am REALLY sick of these ads that are openly mocking people for being concerned about the products they’re selling.

Amazon’s super bowl ad where the Alexa mocks Chris Hemsworth for being worried about giving spy software control over his entire life. Waymo’s ad with the intro “the robots are coming!” mocking people who are rightfully extremely concerned about sharing the road with, or riding in, self-driving cars.

i don’t know, it’s just genuinely insane to me. “Oh, you have legitimate concerns about our shitty product? sounds like you’re just lame!!!” like what kind of “quiet part out loud” marketing is that?

[crazy-pages]

It's because a lot of marketing hasn't been about making money in a long time. What little research exists on the efficacy of targeted advertisement (the absence of which tells a story in its own right) actually indicates it's not cost effective. Yes they get more click throughs and brand engagement than with an equal number of untargeted ads, but the extra cost of the targeting makes them less effective per $.

And yet every marketing department is so all in on targeted advertisement that you sound like a crazy person if you suggest it doesn't work. Because their true purpose isn't to advertise to consumers, but to executives of the corporations they're attached to. They don't need to actually create a cost effective service if they can convince the few select people in power that they're doing that.

Aaaaand also stroke the executives' egos. Make them feel like they're communicating to the world and getting some kind of response they control back from it. That's who these "you're so dumb for worrying about our product" ads are for. Not you the consumer, but the CEO who greenlit it because he's angry and upset about people keep ragging on his company and he likes the idea that people watching that ad are laughing at the naysayers with him.

[charlemane]

like i don't think it's controversial to say Anaïs Mitchell is really good with words and really good at writing lyrics. and coming from someone with that strength, it's so deliberate and so hard-hitting that THE refrain in Hadestown, thee line that reminds the gods of their love and its rhythm, theeee song that pulls the world back into tune is... la lala la lala la. like the words aren't what matters; like a space for something that can't be put into words anyways.

[butchbutera]

Everyone loves a cycle aware Orpheus but what about a cycle aware Eurydice? Eurydice who tries her hardest to resist the hunger and the cold. Tries to convince Orpheus to just LOOK UP time and time again to no avail. Eurydice who KNOWS and still fails. She knows he’s gonna turn around. She knows they’re not gonna make it out of hell together. But she hopes. Every time she hopes that he loves her a little bit less than the last time. Hopes he won’t look back. But of course, Orpheus is still Orpheus. And he loves her more than anything.

[kindof-amess]

Thinking about the Hadestown proshot and Orpheus being introduced wiping down a table with his back to the audience. Hermes has to call out to him again to get him to take his opening bow, and for the show to start, Orpheus has to turn around.

she is literally on some fucking light yagami shit i swear

[kisilinramblings]

When you rewatch the ending scene of Queen of the Dreadzone, Lila AKA Cerise was very direct in her approach.

First, Cerise attracts Fei's attention and asks her to meet the chef to thank them for the delicious meal. Fei immediately pinned Cerise as French. Cerise confirms it and explains her situation. Fei then guided her to meet Uncle Wang. And mentions along the way that he too has family in France.

The subject of time difference between both countries and its inconveniences is immediately brought up by Cerise. And Fei confirms her that it indeed always confuses Wang. Cerise then drops her advice : Always call before dinner. That way you will be sure you won't wake them up.

And that is what Fei and Wang do in Secret Protocol. Sabine receives the call for lunch time. Just after the impersonator has done what they wanted to do and left.

[hawkeabelas]

Also it absolutely never bodes well when the lucky charm is never needed like alya girl wHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE PIZZA PARTY THAT YOU NEEDED TO KNOW

[undrwlrd-achvr]

Things Uncle Lila could have done while the Dupain-Chengs were waiting by the Senne:

Pre-Akumatization:

Install Cameras and Mics throughout the whole house and bakery

Carefully look for the letter to Adrien that Marinette un-yoyo'd in Sadnansi

Post-Akumatization:

Ransack Marinette's room for Miraculous Ladybug™ to magically tidy up after the fact

[the-lost-marauder]

writing a bg3 isekai fic rn and i wanted to get yalls opinions on whether or not astarion would be able to see himself in a modern smartphone camera

(i personally go by the theory that vampires cant see themselves in the mirror bc it's made of silver so modern cameras would work but i have no idea what the dnd rules for vampires are vis a vis cameras hence the poll)

Would a modern smartphone camera work on Astarion?

yes

no

idk / just wanna see answers
