I simultaneously want to live a lifestyle where I can regularly afford to EXTRAVAGANTLY tip service workers, whilst also living in a world where topping culture is not normal or necessary because minimum wage laws do their damn jobs and actually allow all workers to comfortably support their selves & families without relying on the arbitrary "generosity" of entitled customers
#not a shitpost#anyway tipping is not the norm in many countries bc employers are held to a higher accountability re: liveable wages#and in the U.S. specifically tipping as a cultural norm is DIRECTLY descended from post-civil-war racism#I highly recommend googling that shit bc there are MUCH better sources than my dumb little blog#but basically i believe it arose in industries that employed (exploited) a large newly unenslaved black workforce#by offering service jobs that paid unethically low wages (to post-emancipation black americans with VERY few options/resources)#with the excuse that 'tips' would 'reward' good performance and make up the wage difference to 'deserving' workers#while actually it was a control tactic that enabled racist white customers to financially abuse underpaid black employees#keeping in mind that many white americans at this point resented the new legal right of former slaves to earn money and hold jobs at all#ANYWAY I'm rambling and I don't have a list of sources that's just a summary of stuff I remember reading#I apologize for any accidental misinformation this is why i normally stick to dumb clown biology horror posts#(the nose is the fruiting fungal body. honk it thrice to Release The Spores)#...no wait wait wait i thought i was done BUT:#it's no coincidence that tipping culture has continued predominantly in industries more likely to employ women and people of color#and people without access to higher education. because TIPPING IS FUNDAMENTALLY A FORM OF FINANCIAL ABUSE MEANT TO ENFORCE SOCIAL HIERARCHY#ok whew i think im done#oh P.S. LEAVE A FUCKING TIP for people who provide you services in industries where tipping is (unfortimatrly) standard#Yes even if they do a crap job. TIPS AREN'T A 'BONUS' for 'good performance' they're literally something exploited workers need to SURVIVE#you should be able to screw up occasionally at work without being terrified of being able to pay this month's bills#Humans are human. Which means we are DEEPLY FLAWED and IMMINENTLY DESERVING OF DIGNITY AND COMPASSION.#There i did it i summarized my personal core theology nobody asked for. and in entirely too wordy a process okay i am going to BED

Something quite sad that I've inferred about Yonji is that out of all of his brothers I think he's a self-made daddies boy with a desire in some way to be unique but sees himself as his fathers most expendable pawn (if not for Sanji).
In terms of hierarchy, Ichiji is the first son who is being primed to become king and if he were to die then it would have naturally been Niji to take his place but the possibility of all 3 brothers dying before Yonji could be given the mantle was naturally very low so he had nothing really expected of him or to really grasp onto in terms of individuality, leaving him to being a follower.
Whether it's to his elder siblings or to his father, being a follower was the best he was ever going to get in their family as long as he stayed within the line and did as he was told.
But what's really sad is that ALL of the Vinsmoke siblings on some level are clearly emulating their mother--because in terms of design, they all wear their hair in a similar fashion to hers. Except for Yonji.
Instead, he wears his hair...like the clones.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's the only brother to show both sides of his face, he's the only brother amongst the 3 eldest children that has a more unique favorite food and he's also the only one whose scarf color doesn't match his hair color...but instead, it matches Judge's color.
Tumblr media
It seems like becoming a daddies boy was literally all that he could do in an effort to not be the easiest to sacrifice but it also seems like he understands he's ultimately just a foot soilder that has no say in his position.
He's constantly shown paying attention to his father and perhaps subconsciously reflecting aspects of his self-absorbed father back at him to feed into that ego so he won't be discarded as easily as Sanji was.
Tumblr media
I think he genuinely thinks that he's helping Sanji when he beats him up or parrots what his father says because he thinks that maybe that's what it would take to make it click for Sanji so then they could all be together and be a family again.
Tumblr media
And I think that Sanji becoming the family black sheep and scapegoat was honestly a huge relief to him on some level because it was something they could all focus on as a unit and it took the peering eyes off of him and his own shortcomings. Because if Sanji had been born as intended, Yonji knew that he would have been the runt.
Everything that happened to Sanji was what would have happened to Yonji ultimately for underperforming. He would have been the weakest link.
(Which is why he worked way harder to become a tank of a man, by the way. He doesn't want to fall short of the 1 expectation Judge actually does have of him.)
Tumblr media
In spite of everything though, I think Yonji was the one that was the most excited to see Sanji again. And not just to bully him, I think he genuinely on some level just missed his older brother.
As I've said before, if they had gotten the opportunity to have been born under normal conditions, they would have been really close being the two babies and all. He and Sanji would have most absolutely been the most sensitive of the siblings and would have had a unique dynamic different from the eldest 3.
That's why I think he ultimately went with Reiju to pick him up and that's why I think that for all of his big talk he didn't seem to actually hold grudges against Sanji like the other two very obviously do.
It almost seemed like sometimes he kept going out of his way to just connect with Sanji and help him see his (bad and wrong) point-of-view.
In this scene he looked so excited to share this secret with his older brother, impassioned even. Trying to make him see the faux brilliance of Germa and Judge that he was indoctrinated into believing was something amazing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There was literally no real reason for him to go out of his way to tell Sanji about this other than the attempt to connect with him. It was his weird way of letting him into the family and he didn't get it when Sanji naturally recoiled from it.
It's subtle, but he's the only one that clearly wanted Sanji to be his brother again but doesn't know how to reach him or why it's not working.
Tumblr media
And it's sad. The Vinsmokes don't have friends, they only have enemies and blood. They only have eachother, and Yonji seems to have wanted his big brother to like him and to understand him. But he's so poisoned and he's hurt his brother so badly that they could never be close. And he doesn't even know why.
Yonji has seemingly given up and resigned to his fate, whatever it may be. He knows he's not special or worth much in his father's eyes or in the hierarchy. He even fantasizes about being married off into Big Mom's family just to have something different, something of his own.
Tumblr media
For survival, he imitates the father that took everything from them. And he's told that he's supposed to be nothing but he very clearly wants to be Something. To have anything.
It's just one of the many subtle tragedies present in this family, and it's so sad.

About Aunt May. In one of your posts you said he's not acting as aggressive towards her as towards others but still roars at her
Does it mean he's okay with her showing her love and care or does he hate it?
Oh my anonymous anonical anon, he ABSOLUTELY hates it and if it wasn't for the deal he and Peter made, he would have tore her to pieces. Literally. He literally can do it XD
But it's not a "I hate it because I'm not Peter, i'm what i am, so i can hate it!" hate, too simple and boring for me to work with.
No. It's something more... complicated.
Tumblr media
His hate towards it is more of a "You unlock your true power only in tough and hard times, but with someone who's always ready to help and stops you before you cross a line, you'll never reach your true potential" hate.
Plus, he hates to see pity on her face and how much she tries to help him. It disgusts him because he DOESN'T need anyone or their pity.
I don't need to remind you how much the Goblin Serum twists a mind of the "infected" one because I don't think you're stupid and need to be reminded of this. I'm sure you're very smart/gen
So, in other words, there's a lot of shit and drama goin to be brought up and rising VERY soon. =]

a current day nils and a 90s college student nils who's way too intense about his internship walk into a bar
#hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nils hiiii 💗🤭#let me get my important tags out of the way so i can write you a novella in the rest of them#ts4#ts4 cas#ts4 edit#the sims 4#nils#i've been exploring his character 🏃‍♂️#his full name is nils pelletier he's from canada originally he went to nyc for college and stayed there forever#he didn't grow up with much but he was really good at school so he got a scholarship and he was very very determined to become rich#he interned at frankie's dad's company and was offered a full time position after he graduated yayy you made it. i guess :| (evil company)#he's always been very stern very serious very quiet he's never had many if any friends. he was a deeply unhappy child#his parents weren't even bad they're nice and supportive and tried their best#he was married and has one son but he hasn't been married for a while. i don't know if it's divorce or death or what yet#it was the first girl he ever had a relationship with and he was also her first relationship#a very dull marriage but again not a bad one. she was nice and supportive and tried her best#it seemed like it was what they were supposed to do. get married and have a child bam done you did what was expected congrats#they barely ever even argued it was just. well loveless seems a harsh word. and 'well they were friends at least' seems untruthful#anyway he often has to be frankie's handler because frankie's dad is his boss and he does what he's told always#frankie's really difficult though

as someone with a guilty pleasure for isekai and time regression stories I am just thinking of a story where Husk dies and wakes up during the height of his Overlord days with the memories of everything that would happen and has just. From the outside perspective become a completely different person overnight and changed his ways (read: the morals he gained during his afterlife he applies to how he, uh... Overlords?). A Husk whose last soul deal is to get Angel Dust away from Valentino (and offers Angel his freedom, which Angel possibly decides not to take for the time being bc it'd be safer for him to be under contract than not, with Valentino as mad as he is), and who avoids making bets/deals with Alastor like the plague. Starts building alliances with other Overlords (maybe even including Alastor, albeit reluctantly) to steadily create a support network/team (which is also useful when going up against the Vees once they're established), and just bides his time until Charlie and Vaggie open their hotel- which, at the time of his death, he had come to love and support the cause of.
And Husk is ready to be the hotel's sponsor, immediately. Alastor gets there and finds Husk beat him to it (seeing as Husk knows about it before the interview even airs), but unlike Alastor with his ulterior motives, Husk actually wants to help.
After all, he died for the hotel, and its people, once upon a time

The thing what kills me what it's not even OOC for the team to work with Gortash. You can canonically do that.
Wyll and Karlach don't even leave the party if you do that, you don't even have to make a roll to convince them.
You can either abandon Ravengard or save him BEHING GORTASH'S BACK after you've already killed Orin and solidified your pact and he went to the Morphic Pool. Like this is legit the thing I did in one on my playthroughs.
He canonically only attacks you if you attack him first, give him the stones (proving yourself to be weak) or if you went to a place he Explicitly told you Not To Go.
He calls you before you enter the Iron Throne and tells you not to do that. It's a direct warning and pretty much the only line you can't cross. You can destroy Steel Watch Foundry and STILL he offers an alliance.
(Fr how desperate is he for an ally??? Hello?? @ Mr Bane's Chosen, I don't think Bane approves???? You got this whole tyranny thing a lil wrong???)
His downfall is HIMSELF; if he did not go for that dumb stones grab he'd survive, but also he KNOWS they're going to fail in confronting the Brain, he pretty much states it in the convo next to a Morphic Pool, but he still pushes to try it, to meet the downfall on his terms.
I'm pretty sure it would be possible to convince him the Elder Brain needs to be destroyed because it became uncontrollable and is too much of a threat now (the things you can't control should be destroyed, yadda yadda, survival is a strong instinct and would win against thirst for power bc power is a means of survival too and power can be achieved elsewhere, meanwhile in death he is sentenced to Bane's wrath)
All the possible scenarios where his death by Netherbrain's command does not happen cloud my mind and I suffer. They could have had it all! Even Good!tav/Durge could have a Good Ending(hero of Forgotten Realms) and alliance with Gortash.
We could have had it all!!!

Now that they can, would they want to spend a lot of time together? (Patreon)
#Doodles#Adventure Time#Fionna and Cake#Simon Petrikov#Marceline#Hhhh I feel so bad for both of them 💔#Obviously Simon misses her since she's like the one tether he still has to ''his'' time - they were both born before all the Everything#And I'm sure Marceline misses Simon too but like - even this Simon isn't ''her'' Simon. They met when he was already affected by the Crown#They clearly love each other when they see each other when Simon is as much himself as he can be!#But I can't help but wonder if it would be painful to spend time with this sad lonely magicless man - and how guilty that would make Simon#He wants to still be a part of her life! But how much of himself does he even have to offer now?#And the guilt would go round and round - she sees it in him and he sees that in her and they just both feel bad!#I really can't blame him for being a little emotionally closed and her being distant - they're not who they were#With all that said I still really love their dynamic <3 They're /not/ who they used to be but they've still got such an interesting relation#I think in the moments that they do have together where they're both trying to be good for each other Marcy would really push her humour ♪#She's got 1000 years of silliness to get out of her system to her bestie! I'm sure she's got the material hehe#Even if he still sees her as a little girl - I mean that just adds to the joke if she says something a bit blue lol#I don't think he'd actually keep the sharp teeth - it's more of a visual metaphor of how Marceline sees him in these kinds of moments#It's hard to leave it behind!

So here's another example of how low Izuku's self worth is. While Izuku has had setbacks (mostly injuries to himself), this fight against Shouto is Izuku's first real loss since All Might became his mentor. And Izuku immediately thinks All Might wants to replace him.
All Might using Shouto as a reference point for how One for All would work for someone with another quirk only solidifies to Izuku that he might want Shouto as a replacement. He has the backstory and the power of a main character after all. (It's obviously unintentional on All Might's part. That man couldn't read the room to save his life.)
