Aftran 942′s AU adventures as a human nothlit and reluctant ally to a group of stupid teens* continue.

(*and one teen she’d throw herself in front of a dracon beam for, but she’d never admit that out loud)

OH MY GOD! EXTREME VENOMVERSE #4 JUST INTRODUCED A MAGICAL GIRL VERSION OF VENOM! LOOK AT HER!

this is an idea i had for a show :)

when she was 10 years old, Kathryn was a magical girl. along with her 3 best friends, she protected the world from alien monsters, using the amazing powers granted to them by the princess of the moon, and her emissary, a funny little purple guy called, like, Yorbo

after a few years Yorbo told them that their work was done. it was time to give back their power wands and go back to being normal girls. a new group of heroes would be chosen to take their place.

except you, Kathryn. the princess wants you to stay on the team for a bit.

it's been 20 years and Kathryn is still on the team, no matter how many times she has begged to be let go. she's so sick of this. she's a grown woman! she works in insurance! why is she still spending all her free time fighting monsters with a bunch of ten year olds?

she's not, like, the team mom or anything. she's not their coach, or even, like, Yorbo's teaching assistant. he's made that very clear. as far as the princess of the moon is concerned, she's just one of the girls.

it's really embarrassing.

every time they fight some giant octopus from jupiter she can see how excited the kids get about it. they're having fun, and building confidence, and learning about themselves! and the whole time she's thinking, really? another giant octopus? this has gotta be, like, the ninth giant octopus

but she can't say that, y'know? cause she remembers what it was like being one of those kids, and how exciting and scary and fun everything was...

TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!! WHY IS SHE STILL HERE??

she's still friends with the girls from her first team, but it's become very obvious how different their lives are. it's hard to hold down a steady job when you have to keep running out of meetings to beat up a robot pterodactyl. and it's exhausting. she doesnt have the limitless energy of a ten year old. but you know who does? the three ten year olds she has to spend all her free time with. fun!

also, if it wasn't clear, the magical girl stuff doesn't pay

so the series would start around the time of Kathryn's 30th birthday. one of her old teammates, Nadia, is moving back to town to start uni. she's studying giant alien monsters, and the local uni has one of the best giant alien monster programs, because this is where all the giant alien monsters keep attacking.

Kathryn never went to uni. she was putting it off until she finally got to stop doing the magical girl thing.

once Nadia discovers Kathryn's still on the team, she makes it her mission to help get her out. and, y'know, Nadia's fiery Gen Z energy clashes with Kathryn's depressed millennial and it's very, like, classic odd couple.

meanwhile Kathryn is battling crazy creatures while trying to manage the very delicate team politics

like any 21st century gal she is also trying to balance work and dating. work is going bad because she sells insurance, and she has had a string of terrible luck where the places she sells policies to immediately get destroyed by a giant monster the next day.

dating is going bad because she's a mess

and the giant monsters aren't helping either. she starts dating a single mum, but she can't tell her about the magical girl thing. not because there's a rule against it, it's just too embarrassing.

and then it turns out the woman she's dating is the mother of one of her teammates, which kicks off a bitter rivalry between the two of them. and as much as Kathryn tries to convince herself that she's above getting in a fight with a ten year old... she's really not.

in case its not clear this is all kind of a metaphor for being in your late twenties/early thirties and feeling like you've fallen behind all of your peers and you don't know what you're doing with your life. obviously thats something i think about a lot, which you can tell because I'm posting ideas for a sailor moon parody series on tumblr

each episode would revolve around some event in Kathryn's personal life (30th birthday, vying for a promotion, high school reunion etc) and her battle to get through it alive and unhumiliated while struggling with her ten year old teammates, Nadia's enthusiastic attempts to help, awkward brunches with her obliviously condescending childhood friends, and whatever monster of the week Yorbo wants her to deal with.

it's a lot. she's very tired.

I am dead serious: If you are a Walmart employee, at any level and in any store — like if you are a high school kid with a part time job stocking shelves — message me any question you have about unions. Like ask me "What's a union" if you want. I will explain it to you. I am a grievance chair for a white collar union whose workplace only unionized within the last five years and whose management fought as every step of the way, but in the end we fucking won. It can be done, and I can tell you how.

Unionizing is our wet dream I promise you.

vbartilucci

I like how it’s described as a union could “cripple American Capitalism” when more precisely it’s just that a union would be so powerful as to force WalMart (or any other company) to pay their workers like human beings. That’s not going to break Walmart. They’ll barely notice.

They’ve successfully convinced us that the unions are the greedy monsters. For so many years, the companies have painted unions as “we want you to pay janitors three million dollars a year and if you don’t we’ll set your stores on fire”.

But it’s more like “We want you to take an almost imperceptible fraction of your bountiful profits and use it to make your employees’ live marginally better, and maybe give them medical benefits, y’know, so they don’t die”.

Big companies did not stop hiring ten year olds to work in coal mines because they just woke up one day and said “my god, we’re monsters”. They did it because their workers stood together and said “really, enough of this crap”.

Companies are not going to give people raises unless it’s economically necessary that they do so. Anything they can do to lower their expenses, and raise their profits, they are going to do. And no one person can stop them.

But thousands of people, millions of people? Better chances.

being poor is traumatic. even if you’re not homeless or starving. never being able to get anything nice for yourself, never being able to go out to eat without feeling guilty, never being able to do anything fun that isn’t free, making you housebound in bad weather because you can’t afford to go to a cafe or a movie. it takes a toll. being poor under capitalism makes your life a waking nightmare. this post must be reblogged by everyone.
