rocky explicitly has clothes on throughout the book but every gif of the movie ive seen hes fully freeballing it
to be fair if YOU were alone lightyears from any of your kind for years on end in a perfectly temperature controlled ship... becoming a nudist is probably the least crazy thing you can do, especially if your clothes are starting to wear out because it's been, y'know, years
the real reason rocky insists he moves into graces ship instead of vice versa is he absolutely cannot allow his Brand New Special Bestest Friend see his 22 eridian mannequin equivalents of Wilson from castaway
(this is also where all the remaining clothes went. HE might go buck naked in space but his friends have modesty!! if grace can dress up his crewmates before their space funeral then rocky does too)

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.
At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and itâs not to watch the shoppers. See, we canât actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.
At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didnât exist in my household. Itâs normal now. Here is something that is not for me.
âWhat the hell, Iâll take another,â says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.
The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.
I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. Heâs not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. Heâs not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadnât spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldnât have spent any. I go home. I donât own a watch.
I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.
I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht.Â
Iâm not worth the cost of a watch.
i wrote this while i was working at orlandoâs walt disney world parks.
i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.
as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.
disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (âcast membersâ) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even âfaceâ characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.
at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.
i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.
i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.
we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

I find it quite strange that even though Tumblr is known as The Neurodivergence Website, a lot of people on here seem to assume that they're the only neurodivergent person on here, and/or that they're the only person on here who understands The Neurodivergent Experience, so they're quite eager to assume that every post on here was written by someone who's neurotypical and needs to be lectured on The Neurodivergent Experience

kind of a side thought from a couple of my posts about writing but I think it deserves its own post, so here goes:
when youâre writing a conflict between two characters or factions of characters, you need to consider whether their disagreement over the premise or over the methods. put another way: do they disagree on the problem or the solution?
this is a genuinely tricky thing to identify, especially in very complex narratives, so letâs do some very simple examples.
the situation: pacifist nation X is about to be invaded by empire Y. the laws and cultural practices of the Xians make violence and death so abhorrent that even accidental death is as minimized as possible. the Ylings, on the other hand, are totally cool with straight up murder and think diplomacy is for wimps, but are also pragmatic enough that they wonât waste troops if they donât need to. the king of X calls in his council and asks for their opinions.
character A: It is more noble to die for oneâs beliefs than to live having broken them. We should allow the Ylings to invade us and if we die, we die. character B: If all life is sacred, then our lives are also sacred. We must fight back against the Ylings, even though that means weâd be committing violence.
A and B agree on premise but not solution: they both acknowledge that the Yling invasion is a bad thing that will lead to their deaths if unopposed and that the nonviolence code is important; what they disagree on is priorities and methods.
character C: We should invite them into our nation as honored guests. Maybe theyâll spare us or at least kill us more mercifully. character D: We should propose an alliance and intentional annexation in exchange for our lives. Being part of the Yling Empire is a pretty sweet deal, actually.
C and D agree on solution but not premise: theyâre both okay with just letting the empire walk in and invade, but C thinks the invasion would be a bad thing and is just trying to minimize the damage, and D thinks it would be a good thing and wants to maximize the rewards.
character E: We should fight the Ylings and stay a sovereign nation; the nonviolence code is stupid and holding us back. character D: We shouldnât fight the Ylings and try to be peacefully part of their empire instead; weâd be true to our code and reap the rewards of an alliance.
E and F disagree on both premise and solution.
Now, all possible permutations of this argument are fine. âIs this the best way to solve the problem?â and âWhat actually is the problem?â are both great sources of conflict. Captain America: The Winter Soldierâs entire plot is an argument over the methods to prevent death and crime, but everyone agrees that crime is bad; one of Zukoâs big character development moments is when he realizes that the problem with the world isnât the other nations ungratefully rejecting the prosperity and unity offered by the Fire Nation, but that the Fire Nation routinely commits genocide in their quest to colonize the rest of the world.
The issue is when a disagreement over methods is treated like a disagreement over premise. The characters are positioned like one sideâs entire worldview is correct and the other is wrong, but it turns out they actually disagree with what the other does rather than what the other believes.
A big giveaway that what youâre seeing is about methods and not underlying beliefs? If at any point it is said or implied that one character âgoes too far.â âToo farâ implies a point before that cutoff that the other characters or the reader would be okay with. You canât go too far if going any distance in that direction is wrong. âFrollo in the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame goes too far when he tries to kill all the Romani in the cityâ implies that the problem isnât racism in general, but mass murder specifically, and that if Frollo was only nonviolently racist, that would be fine!
Like, you know the joke about the guy who offers a woman a million dollars to sleep with him, then ten dollars after she accepts the million dollar offer, and when sheâs offended and says sheâs ânot that kind of woman,â he says, âOh, we agreed you were that kind of woman, now weâre just haggling over priceâ? If your characters are arguing about the best way to solve a problem, they have already agreed about the existence and nature of the problem. Now theyâre just haggling over price.
Again: that kind of storyline is okay if you actually do want to discuss extremism v. moderation of the same basic principle. Itâs okay for two characters to argue over the best way to free all of their countryâs slaves. Itâs also okay for two characters to discuss the best way of practicing slavery, if you want to show how ingrained it is in society or how even the character you think is a moderate is still evil or something. What doesnât work is if your intention is to say how awful slavery is, but then the entire conflict is over the treatment of slaves rather than whether slavery is okay.
tl;dr: setting up the conflict as one over premise and then having all the action be a fight over methods undermines your story; at best itâs just confusing, at worst it turns your characters into hypocrites.
unrelated my mom watches a lot of vintage/historical fashion youtubers like the "hand sewing an accurate hoop skirt and entire 1850s Victorian outift" kind and ive been half watching since its on the tv & all it's done is make me consider how fashion for my world works and if u have xyz historical fashion piece what else would be logical to go along with to make it functional (mix and matching but following logical 'this keeps this from breaking/pinching' kinda thing)
which just led to me opening my worldbuilding workbook to a badly done sketch of 5 or 6 different bloomers + petticoats with large "HOW DOES SHE PEE??" over it at work....

Some day I want to see a show that does the âno filler episodesâ thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the showâs been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.
Incredible one-liners as always
I think it'd be funny if tomadachi life let miis get crushes on miis who aren't attracted to their gender and just have it be an automatic rejection. Then the first mii would be all depressed like
"So and So doesn't like men..."
