I had a person come up to the counter today, look at my badge and go, "You're not [insert stereotypical male name here].
Which, yeah, right, true, technically, I'm not, I had the wrong badge. I forgot mine at home, and I used my coworker's one. It was the only one available and it had "[male name], he/him".
(Side note, I so so so love that our badges have pronouns on them, it's so nice! Another side note, I go by they/them most of the time, but I don't mind he/she/ze or any other pronouns)
And, usually, gender is a concept I don't have the time or brain capacity to consider. It doesn't really matter for me personally, I know I appear feminine, and I don't have a problem with customers referring to me by she/her. I mean, sure, it's nice if they look at my badge, see "Cork, they/them" and refer to me by it, but honestly, the amount of fucks I give about random people using wrong pronouns is zero.
But this person at the counter just, I dunno. Looked like they wanted a fight. And the shop was empty, and I was bored, so I was like
You know what? Sure, let's do this. It's probably the only entertainment I'm gonna have today, might as well make it as confusing as possible. Because I love to watch the world burn, sue me.
So I go, "I actually am."
"But you don't look like [male name]!"
Been there, done that, "What do I look like, then?"
Stutter. "I don't know, but you're not [male name]!"
Okay, we're just repeating ourselves now, sure, "Then who am I?"
"NOT [male name]!!! Why are you wearing a badge that has a wrong name?!"
And it was at this moment that a brilliant thought crossed my mind. So I smile, cute and nice and pretty, and I go, "Because I stole it."
"You what?"
"I stole this name from the one who had it, and now he has no name and I get to have it. Now, can I have your name for this order?" And I extend a hand to them, like asking to put something in there, because I'm now committing to the bit. All while looking them in the eyes and keeping the smile.
They ended up leaving without ordering anything, but they also didn't speak to me after that, so that's a win, overall. And the manager laughed at that, so I'm not even in trouble.
The moral of the story? When in doubt, play by the fae rules.
I didn't even lie, technically speaking.
Me: *so tired my eyes hurt and I’m struggling to keep them open*
Brain: hoe don’t do it
Me: *clicks*
Brain: oh my god
Atsushi: Sometimes when I’m happy, I have this monotone voice trying to sound excited *pushes Dazai’s paper back to his side of the desk*
Kunikida: *not looking up his work* Wow
Atsushi: Other times I have a happy face and sound so monotone or depress *goes back to his work*
Kunikida: *looks up at him, laughing and with a mocking monotone voice* Welcome to the Detective Agency
Atsushi: *pouts* Be happy I’m not killing puppies
Kunikida/Dazai: *Is taken back completely as they burst out laughing* Killing puppies?
So my mom went and got a storage unit in my name, and putt all my stuff in it without telling me. Now, I’ve got to pay off the late fee and the storage payment, or I lose everything. My bed, my clothes, my journals, my art portfolios, my son’s clothes, his bed, his toys.
I’m going to lose everything if I can’t come up with $100 in the next two weeks. I fucking hate my life. I just want all this shit to fucking end. Even if I got a job tomorrow, I still wouldn’t have the money by the due date. I thought I finally got away from her abusive ass, but I’m still fucking suffering because of her. What the fuck what the FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
You've seen this. Danny gets summoned by the JL or JLD and they make demands. Now here's the humorous take, guest starring...
Danny looks at the assembled people outside the summoning circle that bound him to the location
Danny: I will not speak to you without my lawyer present
Superman: Son, that's not how this works
Danny: I will not speak to you without my lawyer present
Constantine: Kid, you can't just ask for a ghost lawyer—
A pink and green portal opens up and out comes a teen wizard with pink robes and green pants
Wizard teen: My client will not be taking questions until we establish exactly why he's being detained
Flash: Who are you?
Wizard teen: Timmy Hartman, his lawyer. Now, shall we proceed or shall I rescue my client from his unlawful detainment?
💚 (For ask game:))
Ty for the ask anon ^^
Gosh it’s a hard question because I love so many characters and they all have some horrible misinterpretations.
But for this I think I’ll go with Ron, as I rlly love this boy
Alright so let’s first get over some things ppl like to say about Ron or write Ron as being like ( all of these are horrible and just bashing ):
- Ron being abusive towards his partner and friends
- Ron written as very unattractive, being fat and nasty
- Ron written as a cheater
- Ron written as dumb, unintelligent, illogical
- Ron being shunned back from the trio and replaced by another character ( Neville/Luna/Ginny ) bc they are better friends
I hate all of those takes, Ron doesn’t deserve this treatment by the fandom TwT
So let’s establish some facts now
Ron’s magical abilities are on the same level as Harry’s with the only exception being Defense against the dark arts.
However he does have his own abilities that he’s good at. Ron’s an outstanding chess player, he wins with almost everyone, even with Hermione which really frustrates her
He’s a pretty good keeper (unfortunately, due to stage fright, it is difficult for him to show his best side when playing in front of a large audience)
Ron could drive a car at the age of 12. This is an extremely amazing achievement considering that even adults often have trouble operating the vehicle, and Ron was able to fly it all the way to Hogwarts. This means that within a dozen or so hours, Ron drove a car and flew from England, London to Scotland, without using a map and only following the tracks he saw beneath him. It is also important to remember that the car had additional functions as Arthur Wesley magically improved the vehicle, meaning it was even more complicated to operate than a standard car.
Now here's something you may not have noticed, although it's partly just me looking deeper but a lot of things points to Ron having some future-predicting power within him. Why do I think so? Especially since no one, not even Ron himself, seemed to think so?
The answer, of course, lies in the books. Just look at those quotes :>
1. Ron predicted Harry's getting unexpected cash and more
In the third book: Prisoner of Azkaban, during the first lesson - making predictions with tea leaves - Ron was examining the leaves in his friend's cup.
"(...) "There's a blob a bit like a bowler hat," he said. "Maybe you're going to work for the Ministry of Magic…” He turned the teacup the other way up.
"But this way it looks more like an acorn... What's that?" He scanned his copy of Unfogging the Future. “A windfall, unexpected gold.” (…)
- H.P. and the Prisoner of Azkaban
As we know, Harry became an Auror after the end of the Wizarding War. So, as expected, he works for the Ministry. But what's the deal with cash? A Well, for example, unexpected gold for Harry was the prize for winning the Triwizard Tournament - 1,000 galleons, which amounts to about 5,000. GPB or 28,000. PLN. That’s a lot right?
Another unexpected influx of money was Harry receiving Sirius's estate after his death. Because how could he expect that his godfather would end his life?
2. He predicted that Voldemort killed Moaning Myrtle
“I wish I knew why someone did try to chuck it,' said Harry. 'I wouldn't mind knowing how Riddle got an award for special services to Hogwarts, either.'
'Could've been anything,' said Ron. 'Maybe he got thirty O.W.Ls or saved a teacher from the giant squid. Maybe he murdered Myrtle, that would've done everyone a favour..?”
- H.P. and the Chamber of Secrets
3.He also predicted their argument during GOF and along with Harry most of what would happen in the book
“(…) Why don't you get stabbed in the back by someone you thought was a friend?"
"Yeah... cool.." said Harry, scribbling it down, "because Venus is in the twelfth house."
- H.P. and the Goblet of Fire
Ron was very brave.
Despite his fear of spiders, went with Harry into the forbidden forest, that most of the school avoided, following a spider trail. We know well that this situation ended with a meeting with Aragog, but despite his obvious fear, Ron waited for Harry to finish asking Aragog questions.
He also went with Harry straight to the Chamber of Secrets, knowing full well that the Basilisk was there. One of the most dangerous creatures in the entire wizarding world.
He overcame his fears in order to help his friend.
Ron was very loyal. Yes, they had arguments, but all of the trio had, Hermione abandoned the boys a few times too, but that’s how life works, friends sometimes argue and don’t agree with each other but what makes them a good friend is that they apologize and always come back. Harry appreciated him very much for this, after all, Ron was the person Harry missed the most and whom he had to save during the 2nd task of the Triwizard Tournament.
Ron also has an absolutely amazing sense of humor, here are some of the funniest things he said that I quoted:
GOF
OOTP
All in all, I love Ron, he’s an amazing character and I hate how much he’s mischaracterized and brushed aside or bashed he is.
I....have a strong need to make this into a story.
After reading the new chapter, I just realized how good of a counter Ame-no-gozen is to Fyodor. “Crime and punishment” has to be activated by Fyodor being killed so he can take over the killer’s body.
In 121.5, we learned that all of Ame-no-gozen’s victims aren’t dead but are trapped in the singularity’s special 4D realm with no possible way to escape.
Not only that but Atushi’s role as the “bookmark” has a lot of possibilities to what his role entails. Since a bookmark is used to regulate/keep track of the story, what if Atsushi has the power to regulate phenomenas in the world.
Ame-no-gozen is an Tripolar singularity which was made with the combination of Fukuchi’s body, the sword Shinto Ame-no-gozen and the holy sword Soluz Levon. This singularity was orchestrated by Fyodor himself who also possessed a page of the “Book”. All of this did not occur naturally which could give Atsushi the chance as the “Bookmark” to “regulate” Fyodor’s actions. Meaning he can alter phenomena back to how it originally was, using the most convenient method possible.
So this arc will end with Atsushi hijacking Ame-no-gozen, using it to release everyone, then using it to seal Fyodor. Once everything is done, the Armed Detective Agency, the Port Mafia, the Guild and the Hunting Dogs will come together and sing “No one mourns the Wicked”
