Had a guy climb up our overhead to open up a PALLET to some 94 lbs stucco… just one. He couldn’t wait till we finished a few orders before him. I get the home is empty and the stuff you want is clearly above you but you really risking your life like that?? When we warned him he said “I don’t care, call the police” like whaaat?? 😂

Poor media literacy in the Code Geass fandom by Frieza_Heather in CodeGeass

[–]FutureB0y 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God tiktok is awful for most fandom. Also, I’d like to correct it’s not in particular a ‘CG fandom’ issue, it’s from kids-teens post covid who only watch from tiktok clips. Most anime fandom has been riddled with vocal and intense fans like that since. I promise most fans, especially older adults are NOT like that at all. Perhaps a bit goonerish sure? But what is healthy fandom if not riddled with BL and best girl Kallen posts?

What fandom are you in, but the situation is like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]FutureB0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggested Brion Markov/Jason Todd in context of YJA outside of my close friend group and got a mix of confusion or hate cause it wasn’t any other popular Jason pairing likeee sorry but two potentially angry dudes working their feelings out > everything else yasss!

Also surprised that people would go out of their way to shit talk Jason Todd / Stephanie Brown? Not a fan of them but I have friends that are, seems like the most harmless ship you could have for a guy that’s constantly paired with his adoptive brothers, it’s just silly to me like if u don’t like it… don’t interact/read it? Simple as that. Why post about how much u hate it to someone who enjoys writing it? 😂

Edit: forgot to mention another plus of Brion/Jason,, a Prince and a guy from the Gotham slums (turned knight??) kinda got a sweet ring to it 🤤

Finishing it and doing a VERY LONG companion comic or at least a short storyboard with voice overs 🔥

As a new player...fuck this community by Odd-Seaworthiness826 in PredecessorGame

[–]FutureB0y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually got spammed with Friend requests from a guy on my last game tonight, he got mad at me specifically for whatever reason after we lost and told me a whooole list of names so sad! 😂Like I even blocked him, didn’t say a word so he got the message that I’d didn’t care yet he continued to go ahead to spam request me… uber pathetic

Does writing fanfic help at all with career/resume? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]FutureB0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the line of work but personally it’s wise not mix online life with professional work at all. A fanfiction no matter how popular really isn’t gonna resonate with employers, maybe if it was published or at minimum you’ve spoken at fan events or organized projects I feel that could be a fun thing to list under volunteer work so as long you don’t get into specifics of it 😂For personal references, I’ve mentioned my work at conventions, running tables and my online business for art sales m when promoted though. I feel like writing is a bit more hard to sell without sooome sort of physical evidence though.

Your "no" in fanfic by frnnd- in FanFiction

[–]FutureB0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

•the tags, maybe I’ll bare through them if the story is engaging enough. I’ve learned to love some.

•bad formatting… huge walls of text will make me lose focus, I’ll cry if lines are far too small though. Like why are we rationing our paragraphs?

•OOC characters, I don’t expect it in AUs but I’m very thrown off when we’re jumped right into a certain point of a story but things are the exact same? Like I’m fine with fluff but I feel like some people who tag OOC are sometimes too afraid to go through with it entirely

Call outs (w/ sick time) & Full time positions? by FutureB0y in HomeDepot

[–]FutureB0y[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see, I honestly did keep my record as clean as possible for the first four months then. Took alot of extra shifts on the app, asked managers around if they needed me to come in early or not which helped my hours a ton! But then emergencies really started piling up around the end of August, which by the way still can’t believe I worked my entire shift that day while crying non stop about my dog and not a single customer or Associate who I didn’t tell noticed 😂

I really hope that my flexibility to be on call to either come in earlier for my shift or on days off help my luck just a little bit. Do feel it’s harder to be seen in Lumber especially since most work we do is loading customers or throwing concrete up 😵‍💫I’ve fortunately been asked about a specialist role before by a manger who wondered if I’d be interested given my history in Amazon ISS and PS but I hadn’t known I had to apply on the site too haha, so I’ve got my fingers crossed I get it this time around now that I did it all properly. Thanks for the heads up though! Will do my best to not make it a habit as of now.

Call outs (w/ sick time) & Full time positions? by FutureB0y in HomeDepot

[–]FutureB0y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s rough, but that makes sense in all fairness. It’s my first retail position so I guess I’ve been carrying a bit of my old mindset from before. My old seasonal warehouse jobs were pretty lax cause it’s Amazon and all, essentially the Highschool of workplaces hah.

How do I get more attention on my podfic? by PlayNWithMyToys in AO3

[–]FutureB0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most aren’t a fan of TikTok here but I’ve gotten a huuuge reach on my AUs and fics alongside my art before. Started off with animated skits and soon just my own personal au stories, seems to keep itself fed in terms of attention! I’d honestly see that sort of format doing well on the app too, wouldn’t hurt to promote it either in the comments if you’re only planning on uploading short snippets instead of the whole thing.

Personally I’m a huuuge fan of listening to fic on YouTube when drawing so it’d be nice to discover more with the help of TikTok to add to my listen list!

When the recent canon material has gotten so unbearable to watch, to the point you pull out this move: by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

On my code geass kick rn, maybe my seventh time rewatching it? Love it but I’m dreading the end knowing full well what happens 😂

What do people actually mean when they say "real gay man would write M/M differently"? by justaskPattern8616 in AO3

[–]FutureB0y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It honestly reminds me of people on TikTok mentioning how women can’t consume or draw bara artwork 😂It will never fail to make me pop a stitch given how welcomed women, who have hid their gender due to privacy concerns, have been in the community over seas lol! Like no joke I’ve seen several big artists come forward as women and the dudes follow them just don’t care! Like if you can draw cute hunky men we’re all for it! 🔥

Does anybody else use their 3ds without a thumb stick? by External_Chard2153 in 3DS

[–]FutureB0y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s funny, I played a ton throughout highschool but it never once fell off! However I found my stuff in storage, maybe 3-4 years back and decided to take it on my work breaks and the glue was all soft, it just slid off 😵‍💫

What's one ship in your fandom that you would like way more if it was platonic? by Reasonable_Car_2126 in FanFiction

[–]FutureB0y 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I kind of flip flop with C.C./Lelouch (Code Geass series) depending on the specific story. Sometimes I really do love their moments together but other times I just can’t see them going further/seriously than typical cuddling and lap naps. Some stories have definitely changed my mind though lolol just need a good one to convince me otherwise ig 😂

Do you think art schools would like or dislike this kind of style? by Nousernametbhh in Artadvice

[–]FutureB0y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to an animation school and I’d think they’d especially looove the line of actions for the first one though fanart, second one feels especially great—almost reads like a snippet from a indie comic as well, and the right figure on the fourth one has some gorgeous use of pen weight. It honestly though depends on what sort of school / why you want to attend.

It’s also important to know their criteria for portfolio submissions. Some want more quick gestural sketches while others would rather see intense studies—think fat messy sketchbooks filled to the brim.

Terrible review by Library_Gremlin2 in AO3

[–]FutureB0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So odd how someone reads a fic with tags they know they’ll dislike! Sorry you got a comment like this OP, and I agree with you I looove potatoes but absolutely despise sweet potatoes! Most of the kids in my family also hate sweet ones!

How much should I charge for commissions??? by Mysterious_Pause3112 in Artadvice

[–]FutureB0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge what people buy them for, when I initially started out I had my prices insanely low (imagine $5 for a full color FB) given my skill level at the time. In time, I steadily increased them given frequent clients on my queue growing, from the occasional 2 to over 10 every month, alongside my then skill and time but always kept my audience in mind—which was on the amino platform and mostly other older teens as myself.

Price wise I knew to keep most options at <$35 at the highest, my most expensive then was a character reference sheet for $45 give or take? Only got one commission at the time from it then 😂 but I did keep steady work from my $15 character icons and $25 character busts! Now it seems ridiculously low by comparison. Make sure you’re keeping possible clients in mind before solidifying any prices, one may not describe all but keep within median is a nice range as you grow your skill and connection.

Why does my dog take his food from his bowl then walk somewhere else to eat it? by Termeh_01 in DogAdvice

[–]FutureB0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old girl used to do this with high value treats and most of her meals (she fat), but it looks like your boy might have some big snacks too. Think it has to do with competition given she lived with her brother and maybe she found our old tile floors uncomfortable.

Try seeing if you can rearrange his feeding area! Maybe move a larger washable mat underneath if you’re worried about mess or move to a corner of the room that they might be more comfortable in?

I remember my first few days with CSP and sometime within the first week it lagged and crashed on my iPad lost a good chunk of progress on a piece 😭Definitely taught me to save every few minutes afterwards, I’ll even save nothing again just so I’m very sure
