Character Scenario 7

You sadly have to work in fast-food however you two royally interesting co-workers! That's right, you can choose the food chain and your co-workers (two) can be any Disney Princess!

Just don't pick Aurora!

Merida is a spitfire girl who has been pulled from the front more than once because she keeps trying to fight rude costumers. Mulan tries to get her to calm down but she almost always ends up punching the customer instead. How they haven't gotten fired yet? I have no clue.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

the fucked up thing is how "Creep" by Radiohead will really get your ass if you hear it at the wrong time. that shit can be stupid and overdramatic or it can have the weight of an atomic bomb dropped on your heart it just depends

It's actually a song about self loathing and grief over perceiving oneself as undeserving of the love they desire. While this has much in common with the core of incel ideology, the key component it that incels blame this perceived inadequacy and poor self esteem on the women they feel entitled to, whereas Thom Yorke in "Creep" is saying "I hate myself for not being deserving of your love." Hope this helps.

ghost was born in manchester and did return at some point—but a lot of his life he grew up in various parts of france.

no one knows this, not even soap. not until they’ve been together for a few months and ghost’s body seems to accept that sleeping beside soap means safe—because ghost starts mumbling in his sleep.

it’s completely incomprehensible to soap, which, fine, it’s not like someone talking in their sleep is meant to be eloquent. but then ghost starts to get a little more coherent and suddenly soap starts to think he’s going crazy when he still can’t understand.

until he manages to piece together that ghost is sleep talking in french.

when soap asks him about it, ghost gives the whole spiel about it being his second language, he lived in france most of his childhood—then ends it by offhandedly saying, i thought told you?

no. no he did not. and now soap is having a crisis about his partner having been able to speak french this entire time.

What if Soap found out while they were out together? They were on leave and traveling across Europe and stopped in France. They had gotten seperated from their tour group but Ghost wasn't worried.

He just walked up to someone and started asking for directions... in French. Ghost was completely unaware of the face Soap was making as he talked with the kind, helpful local.

"Alright, we need to- What's with that face?"

"SINCE WHEN DO YOU SPEAK FRENCH!?"

At that moment Ghost realized he hadn't told Soap about growing up in France. You would think someone was telling Soap his childhood pet died or something by the way he was reacting.

Ghost had to sit down and think about other things from his past that he should probably tell Soap about.

Soap: You have revealed your sexy secret and now you will never be able to hide it again >:3
