the post-college job search is actually the most soul draining thing ever. sure there are "tons of jobs", but none of them are entry-level or recent grad friendly. the most menial admin assistant job requires a cover letter - why? i sent applications in june that i never heard back from, except ONE, which emailed me yesterday for a rejection (3 months later). the general lack of transparency. horrible pay across the board. companies will take your application and then ghost you forever and you'll never have a whiff of a chance. i don't have a car either which is literally the worst position in america since we have 0 public transportation. and i don't have a lot of money to move anywhere, though i'd like to, but companies don't want to pay to relocate you no matter how qualified you are. boomers are right, i don't want to work, because i don't want to be in a soulless job that wears on my conscious every damn day. 🙂 employed people please help before i go insane

this blurb is from a tiny oneshot in the atmora au, so enjoy long haired, 6'4" tharya😎

"Her hair is braided," Dukaan mused as the pair spun through his line of sight again.

"Is it his?"

"I think so." He recognized Miraak's handiwork because he himself had worn it once or twice. The First Mage preferred flatter strands, nothing so loose or tightly portioned as some others but something fashioned to display its natural beauty. Her braid started low, or at least it appeared to, but sheaves of hair at the back of her head were layered so minutely and so loosely it was impossible to see. And it glittered. The braid itself was a five-strand, quite impressive for a woman Dukaan and Zahkriisos had not met nor heard Miraak speak of before tonight. There were smaller braids barely the width of Dukaan's pinky interwoven as well, creating an altogether new pattern that swayed gently downwards. Small gemstones littered her hair, catching and gleaming in the light, and she wore what looked like blue snowlilies tucked into pieces of the braid. It looked like at least two hours of work.

The rest of the thread is here.

tl;dr: Don’t monetize AO3, kids.  You won’t like what happens next.
