:/ been there, it sucks, hugging you

Thanks Reader ❤ It isn’t so bad, it’s mostly just me @ myself like “YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T DO THIS,” though I should give myself some leniency time since I was expecting an answer with less up for interpretation. (I also can’t really blame her for being vague, because I was hardly direct.)BUT ON A BRIGHTER NOTE, this is a cool opportunity because it’s my first time really exploring my attraction to women? I am PAINFULLY monogamous in that usually if I have a crush, I don’t even think about other women (and okay the guilt complex played into that tons, it was easier to accept being attracted to a girl if I knew her and really liked her because that felt less gros). But now I’m having fun noticing attractive women everywhere and hopefully I’ll make it out to a lesbian bar again soon and see what can happen there and also I’m thinking of seeing if the girl I’ve been chatting with a little on Tinder might want to grab coffee, and it’s so cool to be open to these things!

you look great! also, on the other end of the scale there’s me, who will also never have a blazer that suits without being tailored 😀

listen let’s just magically average out our sizes whenever we want to wear suits, make it nice and easy. please especially lend me some arm length, the baggy sleeves make me look like a kid playing dress up 😛

“if there’s some expectation for Haruka to be the one making moves” HAHA H A DID YOU NOT MEAN: WHEN

TRUE TRUE *cries*

I totally go off the rails in these AU situations and have haruka as having had a little teenagebf because she was so desperate for affection and love that whatever it doesn’t matter.

I’M SO ONBOARD WITH THIS

I mean….I do have a Lily wig somewhere

You know the thing is, at age 23 I’m actually too old to be Lily
*laughs but also cries a little because james and lily were so young*

docholligay replied to your post “Ahahahahahah the head of the store is basically requiring me to dress…”

Can’t you just dress up as “delightful Sam, Hogwarts student”?

 I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THAT except sam the hogwarts student is just regular sam with a

house tie and the store head wants me to go ALL OUT (there is talk that I’d be able to expense a costume, but I don’t want to do that because WHAT THE HELL IF PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE HOURS I CAN’T HAVE A COSTUME)

paksenarrion-reader replied to your post “Ahahahahahah the head of the store is basically requiring me to dress…”

it is just me or a golden-and-red tie is going to go ridiculously well with your hair

This is the real reason all the weasleys were in gryffindor

I think you made a Grade A Good Shit AU in the tags

Ahaha I am ABSOLUTELY going to write an AU based on my workplace someday, because too many things are too hard to pass up. I mean. Big bookstore AU.

  • Haruka working in the kids’ dept. Her saving grace is that she is SO GOOD with kids and does an AMAZING job with story time and that overrides her tendency to get short with the rude parents/nannies
  • Usagi working in the cafe SHOULD be a disaster but somehow isn’t, she does alright and is happy to be around the smell of baked goods all day
  • Mako REFUSES to work in the cafe, IT’S ALL SO FAKE AND BAD AND NO. She ends up where we have the cookbooks and gardening books, and is the absolute queen of shelving. (She could NOT work in children’s, because while like Haruka she’s good with kids, she’s far more likely to actually fight it out with anyone who doesn’t treat their child right)
  • Michiru gets a job at the main info desk to prove she doesn’t need anything her parents gave her. Michiru has to deal with customers. It’s beautiful
  • Mina either doesn’t work there or she has my job as event staff, because oh boy can she work a crowd
  • Seiya is an asshole customer who makes eye contact with Haruka as she leaves a book where it very obviously does not go
  • Yaten works at main info with Michiru, but they have perfected the art of giving no fucks. Also the art of saying rude things to customers in a way that customers only sometimes notice.
  • Taiki keeps trying to push her favorite poetry books on people. She arranges a table of them so nicely and points customers there. No one buys any of them. She keeps trying.
  • Meanwhile Ami puts together genre tables that sell GREAT. She never mentions it to Taiki. Taiki never mentions it to her. But they both know it is a competition and she is winning. 
  • Sets is a head cashier (not quite management, but almost) who is always pleasant but a little melancholy. She is here while she gets her Master’s degree. Possibly she stays after she gets her Master’s degree.

I MEAN IF IT’S YOUR DUTY, SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT EVEN TRY THE SAME ONE TWICE TO BE SURE

TRUE READER I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. Especially since I only ever get small/tall size, I really better get a few more than once.

TAKE UP YOUR NOBLE CAUSE

SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT. AND THE TRUE MEANING OF BRAVERY IS SAYING “THAT SOMEONE CAN BE ME.” I WILL DRAW STRENGTH FROM MY BUTCH AND SAVIOR HARUKA TENNOH AS I DRINK THESE SUGAR BOMBS AND KNOW I’M DOING THE RIGHT THING.

crystalxizzle replied to your post “Oh[[MOR] I had a good time today, but I also really, really didn’t….”

It’s not nothing. It’s okay to feel upset about that! You shouldn’t feel like your gender is invalidated, by anyone! I don’t know if I’m in the right ballpark here, but if you’re feeling a little bad or guilty about your crush now, remember that not everyone’s perfect. I know I still have plenty of room to grow on gender issues. That’s one of the reasons why I’m so lucky to have you as a friend to help me be better! And I’m pretty sure you can help her be better too!

Thanks Alice ❤ I’m going to try talking to her about it directly, because part of the problem might be that gender stuff still seems pretty abstract to her. It’s hard to learn everything (I’m still learning too!) so I’m hoping if I’m like, hey this upsets me for these reasons it’ll start being more real and clear for her. (I don’t know how much the person she misgenders most has talked to her about it, so I’m hopeful that maybe it’s that they’ve only mentioned it in passing and she just needs to have some open conversations for it to click)

(Also never be sorry for saying things like this I’m so so lucky to have you as a friend I love you)
