Fuck this stupid place.. I'm so tired of this

i almost forgot how wild tryna sell trendy asian food to white people can be, like,

"i don't trust that, i don't know what's in it!" The ingredients are readily available online.

"i don't wanna eat anything with ingredients i can't pronounce" You can't pronounce charcuterie either, but that hasn't stopped you.

"i don't wanna eat anything processed" Your quinoa is processed too. It's called cooking.

"i don't want anything too sweet do you sell anything that isn't sweet?" There is a reason we offer to adjust sweetness levels. There is a solution here at your disposal and it is written directly in front of you.

"i'm nervous, this is my first time" This isn't a date. Just read the fucking menu and stop making it weird.

"can i just buy a banana?" Girl literally where on the menu or anywhere in the store do you see a fucking banana?

If you're a minimalist and you pride yourself on that, that's great! But if you know someone who is NOT a minimalist you are actually free to shut the fuck up about it. Just so you know.

gonna delete this later bc i know it’s unproductive to screenshot / namedrop and i actually am thinking the best approach would just be to privately share this thought w the dev who posted this in a possibly futile attempt to effectively advocate for the change i want to see (#worktag2 lol). but im workshopping it here w my beloved mutuals first as i always do which is kinda shooting myself in the foot given that the devs can probably see that but whatever. my thought is like… i get it. i really do. i get that this place needs to stay afloat and some of that is gonna involve sacrifice or something from everyone involved. but… why would you try to snuff out the things that make this place what it is and just make it like all the other places. why would you not even take into account how the changes are going to impact EXISTING users who are loyal even if they don’t pay. people aren’t going to come to tumblr for more tiktok and instagram. they’re going to come here for tumblr. for the anonymity and the customization and whatever. so like i just don’t get it. why is the solution to this problem to experiment with changes **that existing users won’t like** and not to listen to what existing users want and do more of it bc other ppl likely will want that too.

so apparently the 100 yq anime is coming out for real??? the horrors have reincarnated and now they will be moving and talking.

finally got some estrogen for our household were so fucking back ‼️‼️‼️ thanks to @whatwwwwwww i never knew otokonoko's packaging was so fucking cute also help im so happy

i wanna vent about orens which means i’m angry about hh so like to start off you have to understand that helix waltz is a refurbished and genre transported helix horizon which was a money grubbing jrpg themed fantasy gatcha cn rpg that happened to be headed by this one guy (Mingjing Yoshikawa) who thought having an actual story would make everything better, and he was right! to an extent! helix horizon did do well enough to get a sequel game, but god was the world building and premise covered up by so much horny fanservice that it was hard to take anything seriously

but how does that relate to orens? i’m so glad you asked! you see, orens were created in the world of helix horizon mostly to check off a bunch of older-than-they-look catgirl boxes to fill more niche kinks for the gatcha pool, and you can see this in other characters in HW too (florna hitting the weirdly prevalent busty blonde nun with glasses and anxiety template), which is why orens are largely stupid, child-like, cutesy characters with cutesy names and manner of speech that all have one defining characteristic, because that is the result of churning out gatcha characters, and while HW did a pretty good job patching over HH to make a functional character driven visual novel/dress up game, they never really took orens seriously enough to make them people

i know that orens do get their own political faction in s2 and there’s moves to give them full citizenship, but it is very much an “in spite of everything” kind of move, like the writers for the game are giving orens rights because it is bad to not take the side of characters they wrote as oppressed minorities, instead of because they’ve shown that orens are people that deserve rights

let me explain, in-game orens are described as humanoid orcs, so we can infer that orens are closer to a type of fantasy monster (not people) than fantasy race (people), but they look and act humanoid enough to coexist with other humanoid races like elves and demons, this means we should expect a lowered intelligence and animal-like instincts/characteristics (ie cat orens napping a lot and fox orens being crafty), but on top of that, orens are also glaringly child-like, which i assume is a holdover from the older-than-they-look-loli trope, the most egregious example of which is motiti

i want to like motiti, i really do, but she is literally the poster child for every negative oren stereotype and the story practically bends around her to allow her to exist in-universe, which is insane because she was created just for helix waltz, every other oren that we’ve met has been a fully grown adult regardless of their cutesy appearance, all of them have adult jobs and responsibilities and get mad about being infantilized by others, so we can assume motiti is an adult, she is never treated like a child by the other orens (not even brala - who immediately tried to take care of nyx (16ish teen) - treats motiti like a child), it’s just magda who does this (magda is canonically bigoted in that she treats all oren like they’re children even after helena called her out on making light of brala’s blatantly romantic/sexual crush on her because she never saw him as an adult), and we have no in-universe explanation for why she’s so fucking stupid, her one goal in life is to wear cute maid dresses. she doesn’t... she doesn’t even want to be a maid... I... she’s not even interested in maid dresses in general, just- she just wears them without knowing anything about fashion or quality or modeling or makeup just-

another great example of infantalizing orens is bacon day, bacon day is an oren holiday where pieces of bacon are tied to trees and roofs with long pieces of string so that they dangle around, enticing orens to pounce on them, in-game giulolo was the only oren that had a problem with this because she thought it was undignified, we later find out that she thought it was undignified for a very childish reason and participates in bacon day happily after replacing bacon on strings with books on strings, i think it really just pisses me off so much because they could have actually taken a stance on how orens perceive themselves and deal with the prejudice they face and how giulolo, who meets a lot of rich merchants and nobles through her job, might have taken issue with an oren tradition that feeds into the perception of orens being no better than dumb animals, it’s just this kind of pervasive attitude of the writers never allowing oren characters to actually be sapient enough to comment on their own circumstance that undermines the entire narrative of orens being oppressed peoples and not just animals who can talk, none of them have the capacity to talk about all the horrific murders committed in broad daylight by humans because orens have no protection under the law, this also happens to elves as well, none of the elf characters will give a solid answer on why they’re so ok with being enslaved to humans despite being intellectually, physically, and magically more developed, the two times an elf suggests that they’re unhappy with their situation get quickly resolved without actually changing anything, and i will forever be mad that nala wasn’t chosen when HH was turned into HW (nala was a bavlenka elf that raged against the prejudice she experienced by physically beating the shit out of anybody that said anything racist about elves in her vicinity, she is blatantly unhappy with the way things are and says so)

bUt It’S a DrEsS uP gAmE, why are you expecting nuanced social criticism from an app where you pay 25 dollars to get a pretty jpg that makes the plot progress, shhhhhhhh, i’m just in love with what could have been

Was having an actual break today at work

When the emergency alarm went off

But the room number displaying on the overhead was one nobody recognised

Cue the 8 senior staff members tearing up and down the entire ward and in and out of every single side room they could find and calling the security orderlies to see if they could help

Meanwhile the alarm blears on

An emergency and call for help from a room that doesn't exist and we can't reach.

I think eventually the security people might have manually gone into the system somehow and turned it off?

But fuck straight from the mundane nightmares of powerlessness

Thank god we had enough staff to spare for a scavenger hunt so we could be confident it was a literal false alarm

When has America not been in its grifter era I am asking seriously

Genuinely thinking about the kind of stuff you'd see in the pizzaplex as a janitorial staff, your experience being totally different if you were daytime or night time staff. Thinking about how you'd likely be-friend the staff bots roaming around too. Maybe some would even recognize you after some time!

working for a cleaning company was the worst experience mentally, but it did give me plenty of stories!! A plethora. I'd love to write something inspired by that terrible experience!

One house was rumored to be haunted, it was always kinda uneasy going in there. One time I heard knocking outside the powdered bathroom but no one was there. Slow, rhythematic knocking. I still think about the weird situations in that house! Fun to believe, even if you're skeptic on ghosts

This community lable bullshit is trash. To "promote creativity" but your fucking hiding people's content.. get fucked @staff @support

I've been called on literally almost every day this week to cover people that are sick and honest to god I'm so burnt out holy fuck, I know we're severely understaffed and missing AN ENTIRE MANAGER and everyone has 2 jobs and it's busy school holidays and winter and illnesses are going around like crazy but........ fuck man whenever I keep getting called on it puts me into "I want to quit if you keep doing this" mode even if they're short shifts, I know I'm working less than the others who are often coming in to cover longer shifts and it sounds really petty and selfish complaining about two extra 4hr shifts but I don't have it in me to work this much over an extended period, and it fucking sucks losing those days off because I'm not even getting to recharge on the few I get to keep nowadays and I'm completely unproductive if I have work scheduled at all, my last job gave me this irrational not-quite-ptsd from ringing me every single day and this is triggering that same feeling of being boxed into a corner with no choice but to say yes to things I don't want to do and no way out............ I am stressed and I am tired and angry and I just don't see how we're going to get out of this deadlock ;;;;

oh fun! i just got an “uninstall app” button on my tumblr for mobile! Looks like a miniature DMV down in the bottom right of my screen!

thanks @staff !

did kaineng overlook strike for the turtle and i fucking died in the first 2 minutes 💀

highly embarrassing but then we wiped and i redeemed myself by staying alive until the boss was at 2% during run 2

I love having to block and report sexual content because now cunts from Twitter are coming to tumblr and I gotta see some fucking bastard naked other than his seehtrough speedo so I can his his entire cock and all his pubes because they blazed it. Thanks staff. I love seeing naked hairy men.
