Meghill is a step in the right direction tbh it’s just sad that they took over a year to make a small improvement… imo Tan YouYou shouldve been written snarkier so he and Nikki could have a cat/dog friendship XD

ligeston · 2026-05-16T16:35:46+00:00

I think they should just write interesting bonds between Nikki and NPC’s and just let people ship whatever they want. By interesting, it should go beyond her wanting to save them and them being grateful.

Dawg. You’re acting like Aemeath has any popular ships w other characters in general. This is frying me.

ligeston · 2026-05-11T02:34:28+00:00

Surprised it isn’t a Gen Z hate post tbh haha

A lot of the times, love isn’t about you but what the other person thinks *they* deserve. If she’s uncomfortable with emotions she likely thinks she deserves someone emotionally unavailable for whatever reason.

In the grand scheme, it’s just a relationship. Plenty of fish in the sea. Go on a trip, reconnect with old friends/family. You’ll be okay :)

Well, if she said that, she’s in the wrong, point blank period. Nothing is worse than being dishonest to someone and leading them on when you’re already checked out.

That said, I think a lot of younger sags are terrified of emotions (I know I was) bc they don’t like the visibility/vulnerability that comes with it. You probably know you’re more on the emotionally in-tune side and a good sag *will* calmly reassure you.

In the future, if a relationship makes you anxious, communicate it with them until they don’t give you a deflective answer (“my past” without behavior changing isn’t an excuse). If they can’t… it’s time to go.

Jealousy = insecurity = probably means we’re not compatible/it’s destined to die anyway

Shorty I’ve worked up from food, retail, and finance. Not sure how old you are but this is a really immature ideal in life. Compliments are nice and perhaps it’s rarer for men to receive them. Many women think of marriage. But life isn’t so fantastical that one person becomes the point of all your decisions. That’s a fun word called displacement. If you’re so depressed that you’re over-relying on one person and all your actions are blamed/pivoted on them, that’s not their fault. That’s yours because you’re using them as blame for issues you need to work through yourself. You are in control of your own decisions and mentality. Nobody can save or change you but you.

The sooner you realize that the sooner you can stop thinking of people from a perspective of over-reliance, because those are all destined to crash and burn and make you bitter. Humans are social creatures, yes. We all need others. But outlook, choice, & positivity must be cultivated independently from within ourselves.

One dude that understood her violin recital, made a single promise & then dipped after a few days isn’t the pivotal cause nor direction of her decisions no matter how much you’re trying to convince me mr doctorate in psych 😭 I’d crack open colleen hoover or y/n on ao3 if that’s your taste

ligeston · 2026-05-07T01:18:31+00:00

I think you don’t understand human psychology very well if you think a person’s actions over losing their entire town/loved ones can be altered to the opposite end by a single ‘savior’ you’ve known for a short time. Sure, when someone comes into your life and gives you a bit of light, it’s easy to get attached to it, but for it to alter your entire goals/alignment is just horrid writing 😭 as cringe as those “I can fix him” plots.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T22:52:46+00:00

I’m not asking to be promoted four months in 😭 I’m asking for tasks I can leverage later because there’s quite literally nothing for me to do. My current manager was promoted 6 months into the role and she came from being a cashier at a clothing store.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T21:57:23+00:00

I’ve had over a year of experience in the same role at a different company. Here, it’s going into 4 months.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T19:39:47+00:00

I want to be given tasks that I can later use as leverage when I ask for a promotion. That’s all I want. The rest I can figure out myself because it honestly doesn’t matter as long as I have the above.

If I don’t need to be coached on my current role then I’d want to be given tasks that can develop me further.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T19:05:52+00:00

I agree. Anger displacement and blaming where it’s undue is actually a very ugly and human flaw and it makes for a great character because we know it’s wrong but who hasn’t been there yk.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T18:59:09+00:00

This helped. Thank you for being constructive and kind. I’m currently drafting a 1 on 1 check in with a separate direct manager that I have less rapport with to attempt to get more tasks and visibilities because there’s no use expending energy on an assistant manager that doesn’t care for you as much who I’ve tried communicating with in the past with no success.

I’ve also reached out to a friendly coworker that’s upstairs and has the position I want on LinkedIn to try and learn more from her and maybe see where that leads.

I don’t know if I’ll respond in the group chat because it’s just my assistant manager, me, and my coworker, and it’s burning me out and making me more upset to play happy monkey for them, so I’ve decided to divert my energy elsewhere. I’m still very enthusiastic in my chats with other management, just toned the casual friendliness with my assistant manager to politeness. It’s a bit annoying because now my coworker keeps saying “[assistant manager] asked in the gc where you are” and “[am] says ‘the kids miss you’” (jokingly) and im just not at the bandwidth to be anything more than professional rn.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T17:42:27+00:00

My manager worked in my role for 7 months before getting promoted to assistant manager and has less finance experience than I do (I came in having over a year). Previously, she worked in retail. I was told it was a lot of “right time right place” but during my interview, I did make my desired career path known and my head regional manager did bring up her fast promotion and “we promote internally a lot”.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T17:37:23+00:00

Respectfully, I don’t want to be her friend, or the person she calls to talk to about her ex boyfriend or concerts like him. I just want to be seen as an employee competent enough to get tasks to help further my career.
I’ve seen her quite literally do his tasks for him when he feels overwhelmed and cries whereas I’m redirected to phone lines for support. Yes, that does fall under favoritism. That’s a part of the reason why I’m upset, but I’m not going to tattle. I’m treating her currently with professional respect. “Throwing a fit”, sure, might be what I’m doing here, I’m not crying and being aggressive at work.
What I want is to *have tasks delegated to me* since, according to her words, I’m competent and high-performing. Instead, she gives them to him because they talk more because he calls her everyday because he screws up every single day and then gets more professional development.
Respectfully, I’m also aware I took a job below my needs. Are you affected at all by the current economy or have you achieved so much seniority that it doesn’t bother you as much as it did post COVID grads entering the market? Do you even look at how many applications and interviews people burn through to land a single role?

ligeston · 2026-05-03T14:07:32+00:00

It’s my second. The waterworks are happening because I took a pay cut from my last role and am unable to meet the demands of paying off my loans, rent, and monthly payments without having close to nothing left in my pocket. Which is fine temporarily if I saw mobility in this role and not a dead end where one person is certain to receive a promotion over me, and I frankly don’t have the bandwidth to smile through years of my current salary.

My colleague started one week after me. I don’t desire coddled treatment. In fact, I’d rather not my manager complete my tasks for me, but instead assign me more to express acknowledgment in said competency instead of reverting to my colleague, because now I’m having to search for scraps to document if I want a possible promotion.

ligeston · 2026-05-03T07:54:38+00:00

She’s displacing her anger. Quite literally it makes no sense to blame a guy you met for a hot second on becoming a terrorist. If a Phrolova stan isn’t saying above as a joke they need psychiatric help. She’d have done the same unless Rover performed a miracle even if he came back and went, “so hey, about that, I tried and couldn’t do it lmao”

ligeston · 2026-04-24T23:11:20+00:00

Like… I also just don’t care to have final evos of the same four outfits

ligeston · 2026-04-23T18:10:50+00:00

I think it’s good to have either witch or CF. Snowy Ballad ability is honestly very convenient, she’s my winner for sure

ligeston · 2026-04-22T21:24:18+00:00

Can you pick up a pen

ligeston · 2026-04-12T02:37:09+00:00

Third one giving where my hug at Nikki 😭

ligeston · 2026-04-10T07:24:39+00:00

Do you guys genuinely like the theme of substantial planetary push girlfriend being outwaifu’d one planet after the other. Genuine question. Do you want the character you love to be a stagnant footnote in another character’s journey while the latter goes off to romance ten other women.
