So I work at a video game store in a mall and across the hall from us is this really nice suit shop. One day one of the guys came in an asked if they could use our microwave (the store they used to go to closed down) and we bargined for use of their bathroom in return since the mall bathrooms are like a 5 min trek.
So for like three months now we just have these men in really nice suits come in and talk while using our microwave and teach them about nerdy shit? Then I, the goblin king in various shitty tee shirts and paint stained pants, walk into their super expensive store and just get greeted with “Yo dude what’s good?” and talk about the pains of steaming silken dress shirts properly and it’s my favorite business interaction every day
A new jewelry store opened up right next to our store and when I used the bathroom today we were talking about it. I hate it on principle (they flooded our systems closet during building) and immediately both Suit Guys™ working went on mini rants. “Their suits are baggy as hell, I wouldn’t trust them to sell me a $9,000 ring when they can’t get a fitted jacket. They look so unprofessional, ” and “I saw one of the dude’s wearing a teal shirt. It’s fall, and you go with teal? At least get a color to match your store if you’re gonna ignore the seasons like that, Christ, but teal is awful.”
I live for this commentary fam.

Suit shop goes to war with jewelry store and the nerd store joins forces. Once they win, the suit store person grabs a ring out of a destroyed case and proposes to their nerd love

I wonder if deja vu is caused by fanfiction authors sticking canon references into the AU where you live.
No shit, I read an AU hoping fic once where the character’s first clue that something was screwy was the deja vu brought on by canon references.
Okay… hmm… CharlieJo for the ship thing
I LOVE THEM.
- who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter: hard choice…okay how about Jo werewolf, Charlie hunter. But I could really go either way.
- who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman: I DEMAND MER-CHARLIE!!
- who’s the witch and who’s the familiar: hmmm….I think Charlie as an amazing techno witch and Jo as her familiar who is overly fond of knives. (no, she’s completely appropriately fond of knives)
- who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict: absolutely hands down barrista Jo, coffee addict Charlie.
- who’s the professor and who’s the TA: I’m genuinely not sure on this one. I kinda like the idea of more mature teacher Jo, though, and her new perky TA Charlie.
- who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss): Princess Charlie. Knight Jo. It’s obvious but that doesn’t mean it’s not amazing.
- who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent: Tough one…I have trouble picturing either as a single parent I’ll admit…but how about Teacher Jo, single parent Charlie with a questionable income stream?
- who’s the writer and who’s the editor: I don’t know why but my brain immediately screams writer Charlie editor Jo…
