All I’m seeing is a well paying job with good customers
Also?
MANY religions worldwide would consider this a solemn and respected post of work. Every form of paganism I have personally run across would say you’re doing an important duty. In Judaism, we’d say you’re fulfilling a Mitzvah by respecting the dead and honoring their memories.
If you go in with good intentions, any spirits still hanging around WILL NOT HURT YOU. Just show them respect.
Also seriously that’s nearly $17k a MONTH. I’ve had jobs where I didn’t earn that in a YEAR.
Even if those ghosts ain’t friendly, I am full-on taking that job. $200k a year. $200k a fuckin year. No retail, no food service, no manager hovering and riding my ass, no annoying coworkers? I’ll deal with the ghosts.
i’d take ghosts over people any day <3
Fresh air, no sitting in an office, no customer service, just me and a bunch of gravestones and maybe Maria from three graves down having a hissy? For that money, what’s not to like?
Plus like, what ghost is gonna decide ‘yes today I will take horrible vengeance on the person who quietly and respectfully keeps the plants tended and the headstones clean’. Whoever they’re gonna fuck with, it’s not gonna be me.
Fr tho, since when have you ever heard of the graveyard keeper being the one haunted? It’s always the dumbass who doesn’t listen to their advice that gets got.
Me and Miss. Johnson sharing some gossip while I tend to the rose bush her lover planted next to stone last year.
on top of all that, one perk id be looking forward to is giving cryptic warnings to troublemaking kids while holding a dimly lit lantern on a foggy cold night
Sorry I applied a modern lens of analysis to your boyfriend. Yeah I’ve completely stripped him of historical and semantic context so that I could fit his story and tropes into my own moralistic view of the world. Yeah he’s practically flavourless now. In fact this was the original boyfriend and you’re a problematic historian for thinking otherwise.
“Ship means something you want to see happen.” Bitch, no it don’t. This weird-ass modern culture of lobbying show-runners to make your ship canon didn’t emerge until the advent of social media. (And recent social media like twitter, not shit-you-forgot-existed like MySpace.) Shipping and fandom in general have been around much longer, so you can stop acting like “this is the way it has always been uwu” right the fuck now.
Until relatively recently, most fans I’ve known have been perfectly okay with their ships never being canon. I, personally, would be actively offended if certain ships of mine became canon. That is not why I ship them. What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things that only intersect on the margins.That is why fanworks are called “transformative” ffs.
This exactly.
I’m so glad someone said this. A lot of my fav ships I specifically have no desire to see become canon, especially since they’re often in shows that don’t really do much with romance and I PREFER them that way. Shipping and fan fiction are separate things for me.
“What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things”
shipping isn’t always romantic idealization either which is an annoying recent mindset in fandoms, mainly its liking the dynamic of two characters and wanting to explore it in fanwork whether it be for sappy cute reasons or horrible awful unhealthy reasons, whatever is appealing/interesting to you about the pair.
Don’t hide this in the tags, Petra!
#sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would have fascinating sex’ #sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would damage each other interestingly’
what’s with those ppl who are like “I don’t know how you drink soda regularly, I can’t even finish one it tastes so bad 🤢🤮” as if soda drinkers are the weird ones??? we’ve been drinking poison for a better part of our existence and you think you’re better than us because your frail, weak body can’t even handle a fresh can of pepsi, insane
slaps the pepsi out of your hand and shoves you up against the lockers sexually
I am not joking I am not exaggerating the thirst on this fucking website for cis dudes w a lil extra fat on their chests… And the insistence on referring to those as titties and boobs and big naturals. Has made me (trans man) feel significantly better about my boobs! Everyone here sees a dude with big ol bazoonkas and goes fucking apeshit. Hell yeah. Men’s tits. I got those too! Maybe they’re also hot on me! Holy shit! Men’s tits!
