Ryland: “what? I didn’t break it.”
Colt: “huh? That’s weird? How’d you know it was broken?”
Ryland: “because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.”
Colt: “suspicious.”
Ryland: “no, it’s not.”
Holland: “if it matters, probably not, but Sebastian was the last one to use it.”
Sebastian: “liar! I don’t even drink that crap!”
Holland: “oh, really? What were you doing by the coffee maker, then?”
Sebastian: “I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that, Holland!”
Lars: “let’s not fight, I broke it. Let me pay for it, Court.”
Courtland: “no. Who broke it.”
Holland: …
Driver: …
Sebastian: …

Courtland, to Lars: “I know Holland broke it. It probably burned him and he punched it or something.”
Courtland: “I also know that the air has been tense. Figured a sort of low-stakes drama would get everyone’s feelings out.”
Courtland: “and it’s funny watching Holland sweat.”
Courtland: …
Courtland: “why is Driver holding a hammer?”
OP: This time it's lion cubs dance (cr 冰彬兵)
i hope i can say it enough with the time we have.

Trans Driver be like:
Driver: (new city new me. Gonna be so easy to pass as a cis man if I just come up with a good name and not take shit from anyone who calls me differently)
Driver: (maybe like Todd? Nah, I’d never pass as a Todd. Chris? So boring. Alex? Yeah, right pick the most obvious trans name imaginable.)
Shannon: “Hey kid, what’s your name?”
Driver: (Fuck. Shit. I haven’t had enough time. Pick something just pick something just pick someth-)
Driver: “Driver”
Driver: (the FUCK was that man! That’s not a name! No one’s gonna think your cis with that name!)

Shannon: “You start tomorrow.”
Driver: …
~~~~~
Crook A: “word is that you take gigs if the moneys good.”

Driver: “You’re out of luck. I only drive.”
Crook A: “a driver’s all we need. What do you say…”
Driver: (even if I had a good name I wouldn’t want these guys knowing it. They probably squeal like pigs.)
Driver: …
Crook A and B: (Damn this guy’s cool.)

Friend of mine was submitting a job application and discovered that they REQUIRED a photo:
We’re trying to decide which of these is a better option:
or
audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore
watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort
➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy.
➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.
➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.
➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.
➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.
➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.
➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'
➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.
➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.
➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.
➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.
When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature:
Short story: under 7,500
Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500
Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000
Novel: over 40,000
Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free. If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.

The Kids just aren't being taught how to write a cv or cover letter huh
I've seen ones today including photos, dates of birth, place of birth even!
And also several formatted like they were writing a message to a friend! Full of exclamation marks! This is a formal document!
this one is formatted like a powerpoint presentation. to be clear I'm not in charge of any descision making I'm just going through redacting identifying/potentially biasing info but like...some of these formatting decisions are also potentially biasing
Yeah, I remember getting some wild ones when I was hiring manager
So many women feel the need to mention their young children in their cover letters and CVs. Some young people slip in that they can't drive, a sort of pre-emptive "but it's okay I have a bus pass". So many people go and shove their mental health issues with anxiety and depression in there.
I remember one girl had clearly been told that she needed to explain any gaps in employment in the cover letter (terrible blanket advice), and so had described how she had developed depression after a traumatic miscarriage and spent a year in a terrible spiral getting worse and worse before getting on a new medication that, and I quote, "seemed to be finally starting to work." There are ways she could have written that information if she was desperately wanting to include it (I cannot stress enough that she should not have included a word of it), but the way it was written was almost literally a description of how she would be a horrendously unreliable employee who could dip out at a moment's notice and would never be seen again, while also demonstrating that she cannot determine appropriate professional communication.
(And for the record, the latter is the actual issue. I have no problems at all hiring employees with mental health issues, and did several times hire people in recovery to help them get back on their feet. Only once did that not work out; all others were amazing, and two became some of our best employees - one is now a manager there, in fact. But if an employee can't be trusted not to over share personal information with customers or colleagues, particularly triggering topics... That's a different issue. She did herself no favours at all there, and nor did whoever told her employers will always need employment gaps explaining in a cover letter).
Another guy once wrote in his cover letter "I want this job because after years of messing about I now have a little girl, so I need to sort my life out for her, and if I can't do it even for her then more fool me." Which, like, I admire the drive and passion. But again. Why are you telling an employer that you're a flight risk. Why are you telling us this.
One 18 year old volunteered, unforced, that he was gay. Just right in the cover letter. That he sent to a future employer.
And then, of course, the thousands that send in CVs and cover letters that are horrendously mis-spelled. Again, as an employer, I care dick-all if you're dyslexic or what have you; but I do care that you didn't think it was important to get someone to proofread a professional document for you before submission. That tells me quite a big thing about the level of professionalism I can expect from you in the role. It wasn't massively relevant for the job I was hiring for (escape room game master), but if we'd had slightly different job duties (e.g. writing official soc med posts), that would be the difference between getting an interview or not.
Honestly, half of my role as a hiring manager was just... having to explain to the other hiring manager that she was being biased based on information neither of us should have had in the first place. And she wasn't a bad person, but bias gets you even if you don't want it to. Give yourself the best chance. Don't fuck it by sending in a dumbass cover letter.
Linking @bitchesgetriches great advice on cover letter writing here...

A shot from an old fanfic, but one of my favorites
Fanfic:
Phantom of Truth by HaiJu
imo you get the most out of engaging with media when you strike a balance between treating characters as people (reading interiority into their actions, considering the effect of various aspects of their identity, etc etc) and as vehicles for storytelling (what narrative purpose do they serve, how do their actions and personality function to convey the themes of the work, etc etc). because of course characters are literary devices but also there’s a reason we use literary devices written to embody realistic people in order to tell stories
My favorite totally canon queer Ryan Gosling characters
driver takes his self-appointed chauffeur duties very seriously.....
