I fucking love repetitive lines that change meaning over a piece of writing yes slay

There sure are a lot of internet posts that amount to "thank God someone was abused, their abuser's tv show annoyed me. I'm so glad a real person got hurt so we can cancel this celebrity I found tiring. I was really hoping people I never met would turn out to have suffered in a way that would vindicate my media tastes"
everyone on this site is all ‘yearning’ this and ‘pining’ that and ‘dark feral sublime monsterfucker’ yes but as soon as the actual full-fledged jealousy comes out you cowards uwu your ‘top ten reasons x is an abusive no good very bad person’ thinkpieces all over the goddamns tags like a repressed nerd’s premature orgasm and I for one can not abide this hypocrisy
Pray tell, how does one pine and yet skirt the indignant sting of perceived rejection? How can one yearn without feeling the ache of envy for those privileged to bask in their love’s brilliant light? How can one’s love be considered wild or feral or monstrous if it does not light a fire of bitter fury in the cold dark corners of one’s broken heart? And moreover, what better measure of one’s character than for them to smother those flames and swallow the poison fumes so no one else will have to choke? What, pray fuck, is the god damn dramatic point of want if it has no bite?
basically y’all are boring and I’m revoking your yearning rights until you take a long hot sec to ponder why you need to pathologize regular-ass emotions do not pass go do not collect 100k coffee shop au go directly to jail and face the divine terror of your all too human hunger.
something that fanfictions taught me is that having a character that's there solely to get yelled at or put in their place is bad narrative. there's always consequences and there will be people, like me, who see the text be mean to a character the author doesn't like, and that character just sits there huffing and puffing and takes it, and will think that this is kind of juvenile. I can tell the writers want an easy win for their protagonist; they want them to look good and powerful and want to exorcise the annoyance towards another character through meanness that has no consequences. that narrative world is small, it takes in no account the reality of point of views other than the main one. the agency and complexity of the plot is meagre, it has all the value of a throwaway rpg encounter on the road: filler and wasted time.

Radfems told y'all that it was okay to be bullies as long as it was against men and since none of y'all bothered to learn how to recognize radfem rhetoric that wasn't "trans woman bad" you all nodded and said "yeah... it IS okay to be a bully as long as it's against a man" and y'all need to fucking unlearn that shit right the fuck now.

not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)

It’s kind of a shame that “Catholics worship the saints and Mary on the same level as god” is the prevalent thought among non-Catholics because “Catholics treat the saints and Mary as a divine call center” is both more true in my experience and INFINITELY funnier
“Hello, thank you for praying for intercession. My name is Saint Anthony of Padua, for quality and training this prayer will be recorded. How can I help you today?
Oh, you’re losing your mind? Ok so unfortunately this line is for lost items and not lost minds, so I will go ahead and connect you to... mhm this sort of thing happens all the time so it’s totally alright... mhm... so what I’m going to do is connect you to St. Dymphna at our mental illnesses department and she should be able to assist you with any questions you have about your problem, if you will hold just a moment please...”

tips and tricks on writing the kaibacorp environment
yes, this is pedantic. but more than that, YES i love small background details that lend a greater sense of accuracy and structure to a fictional world. this is not a complete or exhaustive list. (you are, of course, free to ignore and do whatever you want.)
- Kaiba Corporation does not have "clients" - Kaiba doesn't do project work for hire; he's not an attorney or a consultant or an architect, he doesn't do billable hours. his meetings are most likely with his investors or business partners like Pegasus, with his board or c-suite executives (e.g., his chief technology officer, his chief legal officer, his chief human resources officer, etc.), various departmental meetings he might find interesting, and so on. Kaiba Corporation does have customers (the people who BUY the duel disk)/consumers (the people who USE the duel disk) but people who go to Kaiba Land will probably be referred to as visitors or guests. his primary responsibility, as the CEO of a publicly-traded corporation, is creating (financial) value for his shareholders and investors. (whether or not he gives a fuck about this responsibility is up to you.) .
- Unless it's something he is responsible for, like quarterly earnings calls and shareholder calls, Kaiba doesn't have to finish or work on reports; he has very few deadlines he himself has to meet; he is not reviewing anything except the most important documents. Even then, as the CEO/president, someone is probably writing the most important documents FOR him and then handing it over for him to present or read off later - which he might revise/adjust as he likes. Kaiba's workdays most likely consist mainly of meetings where people report on how things are going to him, setting business strategy with the c-suite, meeting with the more heavy-hitting investors (for the drama: 'we will withdraw our investments unless you do X,') and writing a bajillion emails. .
- Kaiba and Mokuba do not do any hiring or interviewing except for c-suite positions, because those are the people they work with most directly every day, and the people they most need to know are capable, qualified, and competent. they are way too busy to sit down with each one of the 38783 entry-level candidates Kaiba Corp combs through every day. for positions like their executive assistants or chief of staff, who might manage day-to-day schedules and do things like order lunch, an HR manager narrows the field to several qualified candidates and THEN Kaiba would make the final decision on who he wants to hire. .
- No one is getting past the front desk at a place like Kaiba Corp without an appointment or a badge. Any given visitor X has to check in at the front desk - the front desk receptionist will look them up in the appointment register, give them a badge, and then let them through. For the c-suite level, or anywhere Kaiba takes his most important/official meetings (like his own office), there might be a second lobby/second desk controlling access. .
- Some important dates on Kaiba's and Mokuba's calendars, when the pressure is on and they might be working much harder than usual (for the stress and the drama): - end of quarter/EOQ (4x a year) - end of fiscal year/EOFY. may not be aligned with calendar year - for example, the end of fiscal year might be march 30 - quarterly earnings call (4x a year) - yearly earnings call. Kaiba himself, or someone very high up, like a c-suite exec or a VP, will lead these calls - for things like duel disks, the months leading up to the holiday retail season (when they're preparing for greater demand on consumer product goods) and the holiday retail season itself - for things like Kaiba Land, the summer vacation season, but largely dependent on where their parks ARE (southern california when the weather is nice year-round? tokyo when you have colder weather in the winter and slightly lower attendance? etc.) .
- VERY IMPORTANT: Kaiba has an office minifridge. imagine whatever you want in here. his executive assistants or office managers will keep this well-stocked. .
- Kaiba, or Mokuba, might lead the quarterly "all-hands meeting" - which is an internal meeting for all employees. for a place like kaibacorp, which KT said has ~2,000 employees, this might be held in a large hall/auditorium. things that might happen at the all-hands meeting: hiring updates (we hired 300 new people in the EMEA region), new mission statements, reiteration of core company values, sharing the company's progress on various OKRs/objectives & key results or key targets (duel disk 2.0 released this year to great acclaim and we made 34.5 billion dollars! suck it nintendo!), public (and potentially anonymous) question-and-answer session at the end, where Kaiba or Mokuba might field employee questions. .
- Kaiba or Mokuba might also be responsible for a weekly or monthly all-staff email keeping the entire company apprised of announcements, new partnerships, new business ventures, progress on whatever, new investments, etc. again, someone else (like a marketing manager) might write this for them and send it over for their review/adjustments, but the email officially comes from them. i personally like to imagine Kaiba writes some absolutely bonkers staff emails
