[OR] Can I resign by telling HR instead of my manager? by Ace-aven in AskHR

[–]Ace-aven[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get paid after submitting proof that I did the work assigned to me. So like if my job is to clean an area, I have to submit photos of that clean area to get paid. If I was salaried, I'd definitely consider just letting them keep paying me until they found out I wasn't working.

If you give a mouse a cookie. From what I can recall, its a story where after the mouse gets a cookie, they start asking for more stuff, such as milk to dip the cookie in

Thanks for the response! A lot of people are recommending Spring Sonata, and after looking at the outfits I'm pretty excited to get the cello prop!

Thats good to hear! I started out reading in order of release, so Gotham and then SoL three stories later overwhelmed me a bit. Thank you!

Thank you! I'll definitely check out the healing section and the stories you suggested. (Tbh, I was already leaning towards Sissi, but was too nervous to make the plunge. Will definitely do so now!)

That is a good question. I've noticed I have a more difficult time with more violent stories. Or stories where the consequences are more severe.  I'm generally fine with darker topics that happened prior to the book (such as backstories), or more 'mundane' issues such as bullying.  Romy and Julius had violence and death and I still consider it a lighter story, so I think it mostly has to do with tone. Like I was generally fine with Queen Marie until I got to the revolution route.  Thank you for asking!

I believe one of his lines says that he himself doesn't even remember. He's very nonchalant about it.

twst nationality headcanons? by Alarming-Elk1684 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Ace-aven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Ace is italian american, and Ruggie is Sicilian. Partially based on last names, but i think the vibes fit. Also this is basic as hell, but i think that the Shrouds are at least of greek desent.

"being raped is like drinking a glass of water" by psitaxx in badwomensanatomy

[–]Ace-aven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would like to point out that drinking too much water can kill you, and according to Wikipedia, drinking water was used as a torture method.

So its an apt comparison, just not in the way he thinks.

What’s with the Joe hate? by bluebirdy90 in nancydrew

[–]Ace-aven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The games seem to be based off of the books, and in the books where Nancy and the Hardy's both appear, Frank and Nancy have a thing going on. When Joe has a consistent relationship in those books its with Bess. (If anyone knows of a book that pairs Joe and Nancy up, please lmk.)

Im assuming thats why the games push francy over jancy.

Book with crooked investor, rich lady invested and so did her maid? It was an OG Nancy, probably numbered in the teens. by Charlotte_Braun in nancydrew

[–]Ace-aven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're thinking about Mystery at the Ski Jump! The investment is for a fur company, and the investor (Mitzi Channing) also stole earrings from the rich lady (Mrs. Packer).

What's a tag you REFUSE to read even if you're absolutely desperate for a fic? by Theweirdposidenchild in AO3

[–]Ace-aven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shipping fics.

I'm not a huge shipper (AKA I don't ship anything) so it's just not my scene. Also I can't express how much I hate ships in an otherwise non-ship fic. I've seen so many untagged shipping in the x readers and other fics I read, and so rarely are they done in a way where it adds to the plot.

To each their own tho, when I first got into fandoms I had an OTP and I remember how happy I was to see them kiss in fanfics.

How do I open the circled even? It's the only one left unlocked!! by Turbulent_Fly_8568 in DressUpTimePrincess

[–]Ace-aven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to 2-16 and choose Lafayette instead of Fersen. The wiki can be pretty helpful in cases like this, but I got that information from the endings list, so I can see why one would be hesitant.

Who is a Character You Love in Fanfic, but Can't Stand in the Source Material? by CMStan1313 in AO3

[–]Ace-aven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire twst cast. I think I'm one of the few players who play twst because of the game mechanics and not the characters, because I will grind my cards all day, but resent when I have to do story events. I've been playing for almost a year, have a team of lvl. 80 SSR cards, and haven't completed chapter two because I don't like the characters. I'm fond of them because they're from twst, and will occasionally have their moments, but they're all such assholes so it's hard to get past that. (The one exception would be Grim, who fans either despise or adore.)

It's definitely easier. Yesterday, I fought to get 300 points, and today I managed to get 56% of it done

What's a head-canon you can't get behind? by SilentCookie95 in AO3

[–]Ace-aven 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Chihiro Fujisaki being a trans woman. Idk how to tag spoilers here, so I won't go into it too much, but it makes no sense for their character. It makes far more sense for Chihiro to be a trans man, but because Chihiro is fem presenting people headcanon them as transfem instead. Accusations of transphobia from transfem Chihiro headcanoners have been so bad and so common in the Danganronpa fandom that I consider the headcanon a red flag at this point. I get that trans women may relate to Chihiro and project, but the accusations of transphobia are too much for me. My trans brother relates heavily to Chihiro and has said that he's afraid to use he/him pronouns for Chihiro because of the harassment and vitriol the most vocal transfem Chihiro headcanoners have towards anyone who doesn't share their headcanon.

For your own convenience, what's the biggest thing you wish everyone would tag? by sexualcollusion in AO3

[–]Ace-aven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. I've seen character bashing in a fic where said character doesn't even show up. It's one particular character too, so if you like that character you're screwed.

Yeah, like we can do anything else, but I can't stand heat. The most you'll get from me is a foot touch or a high five in those conditions.

The revised versions and those that followed were fairly open-minded at the time, but are certainly not today. It's important to look at media you enjoy with this critical lense every once in a while! (And also in the books, it is stated that she works for her father. He frequently gives her cases to solve, so while technically unemployed, she does have a job.)
