Who remembers ring back tones?
I was just reading one of my old fanfics for The Office, written in 2008 (yes I read my own fanfic sometimes. Sue me), and when Holly called Michael on the phone one time, he had “Sexy Back” as his ring back tone. Lmao
If ring back tones still exist I haven’t heard one since like 2010
#ring back tones#fanfic#the office#michael x holly#soup snakes#sorry i think I’m actually funny sometimes

them having you chill on the side is how they lure you in with a false sense of hope of "it's really not that bad!~" DON'T FALL FOR IT--
but deadass i remember it was like that the first day i was a carhop at sonic, thought it wasn't too bad. literally the next day i had over a 100 separate orders i took out. i worked there for 2 weeks then gave a 2 weeks cause i was too scared to just quite outright LMAO (was my first job at 17)
best of luck to you, and am sending all the good vibes that you get a better opportunity elsewhere!!! 💛🏵
EXACTLY and I fuckin KNOW they’re making it look easier. I’m not quick enough yet to handle a line of people and that’s fine but they haven’t trained me for it yet
The funniest thing is is that so many people quit ALL at he time there and people would keep saying those people who quit were just too lazy and the workload was too hard and blah blah blah
It’s NOT. The “workload” is running around in the same open room or to the kitchen unless you spend your time in the cooler. The main managers just an ass and I have the strongest feeling she’s run out people by being an asshole to them because the second I saw the way she handled me accidentally letting a dude walk out without paying, I knew there and then that I wasn’t gonna be working there long be it that she fired me for the stupidest gd reason or I quit
#btw here’s the story about that#dude walked out with $12.20 worth of stuff and I didn’t notice til I rung up cigarettes for another guy which added#onto previous guys total right#so there’s already my drawer being short for the day AND manager had to fix 2 separate transactions#she was so snarky and bitchy the whole time she was handling it but I must emphasize that SHE handled it#I just initialed a couple receipts or whatever#second guy gets his cigs and goes but she’s gotta ring em up to make a full transaction#for a reason I still don’t know#she’s handled the WHOLE thing so far#then turns to me when the screens got the DOB thing you fill in for cigs/alcohol#and in the most condescending tone goes ‘okay. enter your birth date’#that alone didn’t sit right with me and I snapped right back at her#bc A. I ain’t old enough to buy cigs anyways and my DOB is invalid so idk what she expected#and B. I wouldn’t have put it in anyways#she RELUCTANTLY puts in her birth date n whatnot#and alls well after#but that shit is WEIRD like I know it was my fault but that was really fuckin odd for my 4th day on the job

hiiii alder my dude!!! wow it’s crazy to be here again but in normal circumstances lol
#i’d say ‘haven’t seen you since The Incident’ but i did find that secret little scene at the top of the celestial tower#good scene. somber. he was there paying respects to his fallen pokémon…#love the whole spiel with ringing the bell as an offering to their spirits#and esp the way that its tone allegedly reflects your soul’s state#uh anyway back to the league championship thing lol#goldie plays pokémon black

I've seen people talk about how LOTR is so great partly because it takes its world and characters completely seriously.
And that got me wondering, because I absolutely agree, but I feel like I'm in the minority here. It seems like we've moved into a period where it is deeply uncool to take fantasy seriously in mainstream film.
So, do you think a film made today with strong fantasy elements would be successful if it was as serious and earnest at LOTR?
#like for example we had Thor and Thor the Dark World done 8 and 10 years after LOTR (about the same time as the Hobbit IIRC)#which took their fantasy elements seriously#then we had GOTG and Ragnarok which poked fun at them#then we had the unspeakablethorfilm which.... wel..... 🤦♀️#which I'd argue swung thw pendulum too far#but then i suppose we had the avatar film (whichni haven’t seen)#which i assume was done seriously#?#but then perhaps that's just consistent tone with the original dilm which was done much earlier#google says 2009#i dunno#i'd like to hope the pendulum swings back that way soon personally#random thoughts#fantasy films#mcu#lotr#lord of the rings

i temporarily blocked this memory out due to embarrassment but last week we had some half naked guy ripping through our garbage bins out back and making a mess + trying to pry open our back door and our sea container, so i paged a manager to call me so i could tell them what's up, but at the same moment i was expecting an internal call, an external call¹ from a customer came through and i picked up the phone halfway through the first ring and launched immediately into "there's some weird pervert eating garbage out back and i need you" and then heard an "...uhhh" and then a dial tone, so. sorry so much if that was you, i know i need to work on my situational awareness and how i speak in a professional environment, call back next week and i'll give you a discount
¹they don't even have the same ringtone, i am a failure
#I WAS FOCUSED really hard on the scary man wielding broken bits of a pallet in the back lot. not the ring tones. i am sorry.#jj stuff#this is not the first time i've forgotten where i was and picked up on a customer with some too casual shit#sorry to anyone who's ever called my workplace and i answered with a weird nyehhh noise or some shit

it's genuinely something that aids my mental health so much to imagine a being that's seen the beginning and the end of the world, a being that's seen the best and the worst of what humanity can offer, a being that's had all the time in the universre to ponder about a purpose, and about the meaning of existence, and whose very simple response is just. be kind. in the long run, none of the other things matter. what matters is to allow your soul to blossom into something as beautiful as it can be, through little acts of kindness, whenever you are able. that's enough.
#ooc tbt#he doesn't see the point in fighting one another. or even in creating distinct sides because.#in the grand scheme of things every bit of discord is just such a miniscule thing.#its not just that he chooses kindness blindly because he was made this way and because he doesnt know any better#but he chooses it over and over and over again because he's seen all of everything and saw kindness as the golden thread through it all.#because in a universe of indifference it's easy to go blind and deaf. but kindness can bring such gentle ringing tone in your ear#such spark in your eye. and it matters more than anything.#and this goes hand in hand with his forgiveness. he will absolutely tolerate people going off at him. yelling at him. being upset.#even doing Bad Things. because he knows that if he shows them kindness they are likely to reflect it back.#and what better way to give back to the universe?#idk if any of this makes any sense but. emmanuel genuinely is so unshaken in his hope in the best in everyone.#it surprises even me time and time again. even though i know it stems from this place that makes so much sense.#still it's such a lovely surprise every time.

design will hopefully be cleaned up later, but I made a fem!Alastor on a whim!
#that stick is purely for show. aside for the mic part but that’s also in a roundabout way purely for show#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel art#fem!alastor#I could go on for AGES about why certain details were chosen but I’ll save that for the when if hopefully of when a#cleaned up version is posted#-Hannah#can’t hold myself back!!!! okay just one thing. agnes was chosen from a list of popular names in the 1890s (but also really 1870s-1920s#as far as I can tell)#It has a better ring to it#if you do#‘’Agnes! It’s a pleasure to be meeting you; quite a pleasure!’’ vs#‘’Alice …’’#alice has a softer and more feminine sound while agnes’ tone sounds closer to that of alastor#which makes it way better for her imo because she’s literally an overlord!!! you don’t strike fear into#the hearts of cynical and jaded sinners with a name like alice or annie#it’s all about image. (auditory) image in her case

#the flatmate i’m closest too keeps worrying about me / helping me out / being vocally sympathetic + firmly disapproving of the way i treat#myself and it’s an odd and lovely thing to have to let in. earlier when i rang 111 he was very very nice to me and made me a mug of#decaffeinated tea while i waited for the clinician to ring me back when i tell him i haven’t eaten or slept or i’m living off a red bull#or i point out how astonishingly thin someone in whatever we’re watching looks he takes on a tone i can only describe#as motherly disapproval. i apologised if i was making a fuss with the 111 thing and he very reasonably and kindly told me off#he’s so nice to me. it means a lot. i still have no idea what i’m meant to do in the face of kindness like that

Castillian/Madrid spanish accent really the worstt
#it is mostly my accent tbf but it's uhhh UGLY??#you got those sometimes utterly incomprehensible but full of charm southern accent#you got that special ring in the galicia/asturias/cantabria accents. the basque accent has a nice tone to it too and catalonia/valencia#spanish accent is alright and canary islands is so pretty and flavory like most south american accents#but castille/madrid accent is so ugly 😭😭😭#(obvs these are just the accents from spain)#but anyways sometimes it just hits me like a freaking wave. i was watching this docu on a spanish rock band from the 80s today and i had to#stop a moment when they showed the interviee footage from back in the day that's the strongest fucking castillian accent I've ever heard#it's terrible 😭 the singer has a very good diction though specially now that he's older#blabla

Since everyone seems to love my sex shop stories, here’s another one.
Phone calls were literally a game for us. Not all phone calls, but there was a specific brand of call where guys would creep on us. 90% of the workforce at the sex shops was women. So we’d get dudes calling jacking off or trying to get their jollies from us.
The game: make them hang up. We could have hung up. On a few occasions I did, but for the most part we made a sport out of getting creeps to go flaccid. It really depended on a caller.
You couldn’t just go in for belittling them straight off- some guys wanted that. You had to tailor your strategy to the perv. Overall it was pretty fun and it turned an aspect of the job that could’ve become a major bummer into a fun sport. We’d get excited when the phones rang.
So one day the phone rings. I pick up and it was very clearly a young teen who was putting on a deep voice. I was utterly delighted, I’d never had a crank call before. He said, “I have a dildo emergency! Can you deliver 5 boxes of dildos to my home?!”
It took everything in me not to crack in that moment. It was so funny. It was like three kids had walked through the door in a trench coat and the phrase “dildo emergency” was one of the funniest things I’d ever heard.
But I kept it together. In smooth customer service tones I replied, “Oh, I’m sorry to hear you’re having an emergency, but due to the nature of our product we do require people to come pick it up themselves.”
The caller audibly deflated. Some of the deep voice he was putting on bled away when he said plaintively, “But it’s an emergency…”
“I’m sorry, sir, rules are rules.”
He hung up. I burst out laughing and told my coworker what had happened. She said, “I will buy you lunch if you call back and pretend you can deliver something.”
This sounded like an all around win for me, and the kid hadn’t used anything to block his number. So I called back.
“Hello!” This was before caller ID was common for home phones and so he picked up in his totally normal voice, several octaves higher than before.
“Hello, I’m calling regarding your dildo emergency?”
“Oh! Hem hem,” he coughed, getting his voice back into character for me. “Yes! The emergency!”
“Well I’ve spoken to my manager and it’s your lucky day. We’ll be able to make a delivery after all. Five boxes you said? We can swing it by later, we’ll just need your name, address, and credit card number.”
He was thrown by needing to provide info and was silent for a moment then said, “Well how much is it for five boxes?”
“About five hundred dollars, sir.”
He slipped out of his character voice to exclaim, “Five hundred dollars?! What kind of dildos are they?!”
“Just standard six inches with balls, sir.”
This was his breaking point. He started wheezing with laughter trying to repeat the phrase “six inches with balls” incoherently.
“So your address and card info?”
He hung up and I broke down laughing too. We both got a kick out of it, and I won the game twice in one day.

“As I’ve already stated,” Nanami pauses to sip at the coffee in his hand, “I’ve no interest in speaking to her.”
Annoyed, Gojo leans back in his seat, casting a glance to the Instagram post that he had shown Nanami — the girl in it was attractive, but somehow it still wasn’t the blonde’s type.
“Hmm, maybe you’re just not into brunettes,” Gojo says dismissively, scrolling through the woman’s Instagram before stowing his phone away into his pocket.
Nanami bites back the chuckle in his throat, masking it by taking another sip of his now lukewarm coffee. A shame that Gojo kept interrupting him just as he wanted to enjoy his break.
“I’m not into anyone,” Nanami finally says, setting down his cup — though he is quite frustrated considering that the coffee had been purchased by someone else for him.
“Oh? What, have some secret girlfriend I don’t know about?” Gojo teases, already laughing at his own joke. Nanami shoots him a pointed glare, subconsciously running a finger over the smooth metal band adorning his left ring finger.
“I don’t see how—“
Nanami’s phone buzzes on the table, its screen displaying your image. It’s one of Nanami’s favorite photos of you, one that he had taken himself during one of your monthly date nights.
Gojo’s eyes flicker down to the flashing screen, his eyebrows raising and his eyes widening in absolute shock. “Who—?”
Nanami is quick to answer the call, pressing the phone against his ear and doing very little to hide the smile that curls his lips upward. “Hi love.”
Gojo’s jaw goes completely slack. It’s an expression that would make anyone laugh — Nanami is honestly shocked at how well he was able to keep his straightforward façade.
“Yes, I should be home soon. I did not forget,” Nanami’s tone is reassuring, one that Gojo had never heard in the stoic man’s voice before. It’s heartwarming, not that he would ever admit it out loud.
“I love you too, bye now.”
The minute that Nanami hangs up, Gojo is practically screaming. Heads turn, and in a fit of both frustration and embarrassment, Nanami attempts to diffuse the situation.
“You have a girlfriend?!”
“Wife, actually.”
“Are you—?!”
