Multi-trash

I teared up listening to today’s re-dracula ESPECIALLY at the end. The way Jonathan’s voice hitches and breaks at “Is it then so near the end? Tomorrow! Tomorrow—” makes him sound so broken and despairing and YOUNG. You can practically hear him crying as he writes in the diary, and he’s already broken down crying in front of the Count despite his best efforts to keep up with the pretense.

But playing Dracula’s game was only ever to buy himself time, and now even that borrowed time is out, and he’s staring death in the face and his life has only just started and he doesn’t want to die—!

He’s recklessly bold in this entry, challenging Dracula and hoping to walk alone through the woods at night, but at the same time he’s never sounded more afraid. I am viscerally overwhelmed with the need to comfort him.

yknow what here's some more wtnv as avatars

leaves me with flesh and web, which is weird because I usually find it very easy to assign web characters, but no one particularly strikes me as a liar or a schemer.

Do NOT joke with Vespula!

Unexpected Vespula moment

joey asking them for five whole years to do this scene because it was from the books and what he initially thought he’d be doing when he auditioned, five years ago, and only getting it in bits and pieces, is the saddest and funniest thing.

he was BEGGING them to LET him act a scene from the books. to act in, you know, an “adaptation”

Do any of you have questions about mythology you want me to answer?

I am familiar with russian myths, European, norse, greek and roman. Ya know the common faire. Do you know any cool myths from a country thats lore is not shared as often?

I want to broaden my scope a bit. Maybe something about shape changers or a diety who does a great feat. Oh maybe a child encounters magic.

First I idea that popped into my head since you asked for questions

If you’re looking for stuff that’s easy to find, Chinese, Japanese, Hindu, and to a certain extent Aztec, Hawaiian, Mesopotamian mythologies have a lot of books, videos, and articles about them.

One of my favorite Hawaiian myths involves Maui bringing fire to people. He went to the underworld to get some from one of his ancestors and she gave him a fingernail with fire in it. But Maui is so clumsy that he kept dropping all of her fingers and toenails into the water and eventually she lost it and hid the fire away from him in little pieces in trees and that’s why fire comes out of wood.

People should look more into Maui in general he’s kinda funny.

The breeze is nice up here

My roommate (the one who hates septum piercings so much they make her gag) thinks my art is the most disgusting and ugly shit on the planet, and every time I announce that I've sold a piece or gotten into a show, she makes the kind of facial expression you'd expect of someone eating chili at a live autopsy and says, "I'm glad you're having fun! :)"

You're all misunderstanding; I love her so much and I'm having a great time. It's like when you're a kid and you chase other, less cool kids around the playground with a fun worm you found.

She doesn't consume any media besides sitcoms and reality TV, and doesn't have social media besides Facebook, so when I come to her with something even remotely bizarre, she just has absolutely nothing to compare it to. Like, when I show her something mildly weird that made like this:

She's just fully convinced that I personally invented the concept of body horror all on my own specifically to make her life a living hell. She thinks I'm the only person like this alive. It's so funny. I love her.

I got my septum pierced btw.

love ignoring things ‘have you seen this terrible show’ no im the ignorer ‘can you believe what that celebrity tweeted yesterday’ i am the ignorer

i think it's so funny that "what's in box 953?" is not only a question with a verifiable canon answer, but possibly the most thoroughly-answered mystery in all of wolf 359, and yet gabriel urbina has somehow created his own perpetual cycle of torment where every. single. time. he asks for questions, someone asks him that one.

He got em before it was even a thing

@aspirationatwork

let me give it a shot:

[3 Panel Comic]

[In the first panel, John is looking to the left behind Arthur, his, or whatever you would consider, a neck careening in that direction. He's wearing a bright yellow cloak and half of a white mask, nothing but complete darkness is beneath them. Arthur in front of him is also facing in his general direction.]

[the second panel is just John's face, his mask angled downwards to give the impression he Is staring at Arthur. Arthur speaks to him out of frame.]

[The final panel is still Johns's face but now he is looking at the audience like he's in The Office (the tv show)]

I hope this helped! This is my first one actually so I hope I did this correctly.

i'm having so much fun

okay wow it gets. Way Worse.

Violence set to happy music will never get old to me. Blood splattering to an 80s pop song is like a sister to me because I'm not allergic to fun.

Ok, but if you’re an independent contractor in the US and this happens? Find a lawyer, because you might have just gotten a huge payday.

Your position was just referred to as employment. Independent contractors do not have employers; they do not have employment. Congrats, your contact at this company just provided evidence that you were illegally missclassified.

This contact is claiming that you have set hours you’re obligated to fulfill. Unless a work task can only be done at a set time for practical reasons (i.e. you’re an audio freelancer paid to support a live event that occurs at a particular time and requires a certain amount of pre-show setup), a company cannot set an independent contractor’s work hours. This is further evidence that you were missclassified.

The whole exchange establishes that the company is interpreting an employer-employee relationship rather than expecting a service. Discipline and potential for firing (you cannot fire an independent contractor; no longer purchasing their service is not equivalent) establish that this person views themselves as a manager. Independent contractors cannot have managers.

This one text exchange could:

If the company is going to screw you over like that, may as well make them pay for it.

Since this is getting a lot of reblogs, here’s a federal source that can help you determine if you’re illegally classified as a contractor:

You can also file a form with the IRS to force the company to correct your classification (assuming you meet the criteria), without necessarily having to sue:

Keep in mind that this is just federal. Most states also prohibit missclassification as an independent contractor; and even if states have more lenient rules, companies still have to comply with this federal law. The rules have largely been bipartisan and existed for decades, so they’re common.

States also have an interest in having regulations about missclassification: it’s a significant loss of tax revenue. Your self employment tax does not fully equal what a company would have paid for you in payroll taxes.

A lawyer can help point you in the right direction if a company is currently missclassifying you.

Fantastic addition

i kinda love how retroactively meta eiffel saying, "any idea how long before we can look back on this whole incident fondly and laugh about it?" at the end of little revolución is, when "remember when this show was about fighting over toothpaste?" is like, the lasting nostalgic appeal to simpler times among wolf 359 fans.

Heaven is here by Florence and the machine is now officially a Juno Steel song, let's gooo

well now im curious

I am never not at least in part thinking about the fact that, no matter what universe they're in, if there's a Mrs Hudson she absolutely adores Sherlock Holmes despite of him shooting her walls, setting the curtains on fire every other week, and screeching the violin at two in the morning.

are you a “filters tags from my mutual’s new obsession” Tumblr user or are you a “learns about their new obsession (semi-forcefully) by osmosis” Tumblr user

there is a correct answer

#i would never filter the tags from your obsession without first learning enough by osmosis to determine that i cannot fucking stand it (via @unopenablebox​)

holy fucking shit.

today's re: dracula episode is an absolute masterpiece.

that moment where dracula quotes an english saying to jonathan and, while doing so, speaks in a perfect english accent, just like jonathan does, was absolutely chilling

my heart was racing after that, holy shit,,

and ben galpin's performance was absolutely amazing, he's bringing jonathan harker to live perfectly

this podcast brings the reading experience to a whole new level, the performances and sound design are so, so good
