Back on my bullshit

Spoiler: processing shit but not heavy enough for the ITA thread so ???

saw a post go by abt "I love you" meaning more or less if you say it more often and like
shit, my dude, it's not that it means less imo, it's that it's all tangled up in emotional blackmail and screaming fits and that's what makes it mean less-- there's no emotion there because there's never been emotion there, just trained response to avoid punishment
I cannot think of a single time I have strung the words "I love you" together of my own volition and meant it and I still sort of perceive any instance of it as a threat
endearments, emoji hearts, other expressions of affection- fine, good, yes. but the actual words just. freak me the fuck out

 

apparently notre dame's on fire so uh. that's a thing

 

I. don't know what to say. I'm torn between 'oh no! D:' and 'that's a symbolic omen about architectural preservation if I've ever seen one' and 'suck on that one victor hugo' but mostly I'm baffled

 

can I get a uhhhhhhh adulting check

Spoiler: emailing manager help

Re: [New Department]+
Hi [manager]! This is [Loq]; I noticed you were looking for people to train for [new department] and wanted to let you know I'm interested!
However, I'll also be moving upstate in August. I would like to transfer to one of our [new city] locations, preferably [store 1] (and if you need any information from me to get that started, please let me know!), but either way my last day at [current store] will have to be August 10th at the latest.
Thanks,
[Loq]

 

looks ideal to me.

laughs at own garbage brain
a clue on this logic puzzle is "the owner of a bike eats corn" (it's one of those grid pattern "what symbol goes where" type things) and I keep misreading it as "the owner of corn eats a bike"

 

suggested tags on my dash tonight are #rodimus and #jade harley and if that ain't me

inq!curiosity is just

 

Josie, exhausted: you can't just send every single potential ally away because you personally don't like them
curiosity, refusing a full half of the potential companions bc inq is full of people with Layers: in this house we don't accept liars

 

Spoiler: Companion Opinions

Solas talks around the truth but never directly lies, and frankly "questions lead to more questions" is Curiosity's favorite game anyway
Cass is alright but a bit dense
Varric is on thin fucking ice bc you can't get rid of him anyway
Cole is Spirit Fren
Sera's not offensive but kind of boring
Blackwall is Right Out and Curiosity drags him right in front of those farm kids
Bull... is also on thin fucking ice, but it's slightly thicker ice than Varric's since I feel like he does less embellishment on his stories and more 'leaving things out', and he does up and show at least two layers right when you meet him. Would probably also be patient enough to explain Why he needs to pretend to be Tal-Vashoth.
Viv is Boring and a Liar and Not To Be Trusted
Dorian is the worst sort of both Interesting and Fronting and probably gets a fair few pebbles thrown at him

 

curiosity, baby.

 

their main party is probs gonna be solas-cass-cole

 

curiosity chinhanding at Dorian through 80% of a research bender for reasons he will Never suspect
yes okay you put effort into your appearance but also you have Questions

 

Curiosity and Cole hyping each other up after HLtA: okay we've both got meat bodies so we should be safe from binding but what if we're not????? solas???? help??????

 

Cole: blood magic
Curiosity: gross???? no???? let's ask solas for better ideas he has lots of ideas
Cole: solas, blood magic????
Solas: what in the fuck have you two been doing

 

unrelatedly
