“You don’t get to be the one accusing me of being lifeless. Fuck you, Hale.”
“I’m not the one who’s been compartmentalizing every emotion for years, Christopher.” Peter countered, brow arching. “You certainly can if you’d like.”
“Yeah? What kinda guns? Any you feel like using on me?”
“IS that you’re way of telling me there’s one you’d like to keep for us specifically?” Elijah teased with a grin. “I’m sure we could handle a few extras.”
Odin: You are becoming a young man. There are some things in your past that may come to light and your mother and I haven’t told you before in fear it would upset you.
Loki: … Yes?
Odin: At the final battle of Jotunheim, I found an infant. It was small and malnourished – a child Laufey sought not to claim for its power was in magic, not in physical strength.
Loki: …
Odin: I took you from that battle, son, and your mother and I have loved you ever since.
Loki: Sssso… this is why you prefer Thor.
Odin: This is why I spend so much more time with Thor, yes. He is like me in that he has a temper to be tamed and physical strength he allows to take over when that anger boils over. Your mother is talented with magic and is clever with words as you are. Me being more like Thor doesn’t make me love you any less than I love him.
Loki: … Does Thor know?
Odin: He will if you wish him to.
Loki: We aren’t family, then.
Odin: You are my son by love as your mother is my wife by marriage. Blood means little in the way of kin.
Loki: But I can’t become king of Asgard.
Odin: … Which is another reason I spend so much time with your headstrong brother as he’ll eventually have to do public speaking outside of ‘thor swing hammer’ and he doesn’t have the gilded tongue you do.
“I shouldn’t answer this. Your friends won’t like it. But yes. I do.”
“Chase, I thought we’ve talked about this.” Caleb replied, reaching to pull the other to him. “They can be mad all they want, it’s not going to change anything.”
Companies should have a MANDATORY class for managers that explains mental illnesses, their signs and how to help employees that have them.
This is very important. I have very bad anxiety, like I should by all accounts be on medication but I can’t afford my medicine – I can barely afford to pay my bills right now. And while at work, an evironment became so bad that I had a VERY PUBLIC anxiety attack. Tge managers at the time went all hands on deck to try and help me calm down by getting me someplace quiet, talking in soft, calm tones and even getting me some water and letting me take my time to get past the attack.
About three weeks later, all but two of those managers are gone.
Yesterday while at work, I once again got put into a situation that triggered the start of an attack, and one manager was trying to calm me down in the proper way, but one in particukar was being rude and condescending and brushing off the fact that my anxiety level was so high. HE EVEN IMPLIED THAT I WAS DOING IT FOR FUCKING ATTENTION. His reaction only made it worse.
Managers need to respect their employees and take it seriously when told that an employee has a mental illness, even if it’s in private, it needs to be taken seriously and managers need to understand how to HELP us, not belittle us for something we have no real control over.
I am tagging my own mental illnesses, but please feel free to add more. This isn’t just for a select few, but for all mental illness. We deserve to have a safe environment for our mental health, not just our physical health.
Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
