i’ve found a way (a way to make you smile), by curtaincall

Crowley worked in Sales. He had never intended to work in Sales. It had just sort of happened. One moment, there he’d been, a newly minted university graduate off to change the world, exquisitely useless Philosophy degree in hand, and now here he was, having sauntered vaguely downwards into a Hell that consisted mainly of cold-calling new customers and sucking up to existing ones. AU based on The Office.

The Friday Fic Rec: Here’s the thing. I don’t watch The Office. I probably have seen less than five consecutive minutes of The Office in my entire life, so for someone who’s familiar with the show, some of these scenarios might be more familiar as curtaincall references episodes at the end of each chapter, but you certainly do not have to know anything about it to enjoy this fic. This one manages the line between “fast-paced” and “slow-burn” perfectly, with clean writing and quick turns, so you’re never bored (I was surprised when I saw this topped out at just over 40k words) even as things are drawn out through the dips and curves of Crowley’s pining and Aziraphale’s hesitance. This fic is a great example of Crowley and Aziraphale loving each other in all circumstances – the set-up here gives them the time to become friends and fall for each other, while putting a neat little ‘no fraternization’ rule right into place. Aziraphale’s totally convincing as an inept secretary, Gabriel’s spot-on as an oblivious-to-the-point-of-painful manager, Beelzebub as the HR department is inspired, and Crowley’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) perfect in Sales. With cameos from the whole of Heaven and Hell, secret relationships, so-close-and-yet-so-far pining, difficult decisions and a light at the end of the tunnel, this fic pulled me in and kept me there all the way through to the end. The weather’s going to be frightful this weekend, at least in my neck of the woods, so curl up, get cosy, and let the Celestial Paper Company steal you away.

The power of Steven Tag compels her!

I'm so proud of Pearl for being able to move past her trauma and can comfortably shapeshift, even into Classic Steven.

Too many Stevens? Why you can never have too many Stevens!

Wait, why not?

TL;DR: Tattoos are associated with organized crime in Japan.

Longer explanation: While tattoos in Japan may have originally been considered to be a status symbol and have religious importance (we have accounts of tattooed Japanese people from Chinese diplomats during the Yayoi period, 300BC-300AD), during the Kofun period (300-540AD), they became a tool used to mark criminals, coming to a head in 1720 where full-arm tattoos were used exclusively for ‘minor’ offenses instead of cutting off noses and/or ears.

All of this led to tattoos getting hugely stigmatized. Until fairly recently, the only people you could find who did have tattoos were generally part of the yakuza (Japanese mafia), who often chose hugely elaborate tattoos based off of traditional Japanese art. Here’s a few of them:

Tattoos in Japan are still so controversial that in 2012, the then-mayor of Osaka, Toru Hashimoto, launched a campaign to get companies to get rid of their employees who had visible tattoos that was very well-received, with many companies siding with him.

Many swimming pools and onsen still ban tattooed people for all of this. During the 2019 rugby championship in Japan, the government effectively begged the foreign players and supporters to please cover up in public because people will react badly, and with the 2020 Olympics in Japan, apparently the government has tried to launch an awareness campaign amongst the public that tattoos on foreigners aren’t considered a sign of criminal conduct in their home countries, because the press backlash would be a nightmare.

Athletes: *arrive with tattoo sleeves and openly brandishing it*

The Japanese: “oh my god they just sent us all their murderers”

“I just miss you dude! I haven’t seen you for like 11 minutes!”
