I did not know that about the tags!
if we’re mutuals, and I don’t care whether we’ve been mutuals for twelve (12) minutes or three (3) years, you can send me a message any time about any thing. family life is shit? bitch, tell me about it and even if I can’t help, I can listen. struggling with mental illness and feel like you can’t talk to anyone? talk to me. literally. you always can. saw a cute cat? SEND THAT BITCH MY WAY
I run a small cyber security firm. I was doing some work for a client who asked me to do some compliance work. After waiting about a week and a half for my contact within the organization to email me some important documents so I could get started in the first place, I got this email:
Client: Hey, before we get started, could you give us a “seal of approval” saying we comply with these standards? I want to be able to send them to some of our customers.
Me: Well, I can’t give you that until I’ve actually done that work. Telling people that you’re compliant to a certain standard, and then accepting information that is protected under that standard before you actually are is illegal. And, frankly, unethical.
After some back and forth:
Client:
I don’t think this relationship is going to work, I’m
sorry.
Not an optimal conclusion, but at least
that was that. Or so I thought.
Two weeks later I got an email from a
different company asking about this client’s compliance standards. I informed
them that I had not actually done any work for this client and so could not
comment.
That’s when they told me I was lying, because this client had an image on their site that declared “Secured by” ME. I checked, and sure enough, there it was. That’s when I decided to get back in touch.
Me: Immediately take down the image saying that I say you meet security compliance standards. I did not do that work, I do not stand by your compliance, and your false attribution could hurt my business.
Client: We made the image, it’s ours to do with as we like.
Me: …Are you serious?
Client: Yes.
I’ve contacted my lawyer.
ONE LAST THING, my friend mary, kudos to her because i think about this a lot. she basically had this really good idea to basically blame everything that went wrong in naruto on: danzo.
the caged bird seal is to be blamed on danzo who probably rubbed his grimy hands all over clan politics.
the fall of uzushio? danzo. he wanted kushina to stay loyal to konoha so what does he do, uses that against her to basically make her stay and be used as a weapon because of the nine tails. (idk if i worded this right mary, but it was my fave thing you told me and it stuck with me)
on the blame the Danzo train: isn’t it terribly, TERRIBLY interesting that every single hokage candidate post-hiruzen ended up fucked? Isn’t it bizarre, when you truly look at it?
Dan died, despite being a hell of a shinobi, which meant Tsunade fucked off. Orochimaru actually worked with ROOT, iirc, and was cast out, which sent Jiraiya basically eternally chasing after him. Minato was forced to give his life to end the Kyuubi despite Konoha having Uchiha and fucking TENZO, Kushina died, and Kakashi was emotionally destroyed and sucked into ROOT. Itachi was made a scapegoat and a missing nin, and Naruto was the reviled dead last of the village.
It’s just so… terribly interesting. 🤔🤔🤔
You know who created Danzo, Tobirama. You know who planted the idea of saving the village regardless of morals or what “is right”, Tobirama. You know who really hated and distrusted the Uchiha with a few exceptions, Tobirama. You know who had a hand in building the infrastructure of the entire village Tobirama. You know who knew how to exploit the infrastructure that he saw literally get built in front of him, Danzo.
Basically Tobirama is a shitty role model, but damn good at building a village.
(Listen I love Tobirama, I think he was the best Hokage but he was kind of an idiot when it came to individual people)
Client: I need to make a layout for this guide and I want it to look like these samples.
Me: Okay then, give me a couple of days and I can submit some proof of concept designs that you can approve.
I made several concept drafts in InDesign.
Me: Here’s the template design, ignore the text since they’re there for a placeholder.
Client: Those look pretty good, but actually I’m just finishing the design we’ll be using.
Me: Oh! Really? I didn’t know you knew how. When will you be able to send it?
Client: Soon!
Within an hour, I received a PowerPoint file. That COULD be fine, but… the layout was 90% just blank slides with text boxes and placeholder squares with “put picture here,” placed in random spots with no visual coherence whatsoever. The text wasn’t justified, the header logo was badly placed and there were no other graphical elements at all.
Client: That’s the design! Just slap some photos in that and we’re done!
Me: (*blinking*) ….
Sieglinde Week. Day 1: Magic / Reality / Outside World.
She is powerful.
Sieglinde is green, life flowing through the woods in the top of the trees, nurturing everything from water and sun alone. Her veins pump magic instead of blood and her eyes hold stars as magnificent as the ones in the sky and her skin glows with the inner light of her soul. Everything stills when she’s around because he presence is bewitching, because she knows too much. She knows, she knows, she knows.
She is naive.
Sieglinde’s green is actually greed in the hands of her captors, nurturing evilness and corruption alone. Her veins pump blood that was paid with the blood of others, and her eyes only hold pupils that are smart enough to look what they ask her too, but no more. And her eyes are only eyes and her blood is only blood, but her soul is still bright and she knows nothing at all, nothing except that she has to survive.
She is smart.
Sieglinde is dutiful and persistence and intelligent enough. And she only has that, a brain that can configure complex substances of reality, for good or for bad. And maybe that was not enough before but it has to be now, because now her life depends on that. No, it always did, she just never realized. And that maybe is the hard part, but she’s ready to accept it. She’s ready, she’s ready, she’s ready. Because she has to find the answer to the problems in her world, and she is smart enough, she knows she is.
She is strong.
Sieglinde’s green is life and greed, magical blood runs through her veins keeping her alive in such a grim and beautiful world, and her eyes have pupils that reflect the light of stars to see better the reality, and her soul still shines with the force of her intellect. And Sieglinde knows of magic and she knows of reality, and she knows of two worlds and she understands but knows nothing.
But she is, and that’s what matters.
I’m unsure if I will post this on AO3. This was, really fun to write.

i kind of read him as somewhere in the ballpark of mid20s-mid30s
but when you consider his parentage…. like did zarkon and honerva have him several thousand years ago when they were a little more normal and kept him alive and unaging with druid magic??? or, idk, stashed him on ice for some reason and then thawed him out when it seemed like he might be handy???
or, was haggar just like… pregnant relatively recently ?? took a few months of maternity leave from her ancient hagwitch robot!Moreau gig ????
