{STILL NOT SORRY FOR BEING A SAP} NOTHIN'S GONNA CHANGE MY WORLD
The past two midnights of dealing with accounting expert reports have been, shall we say, not pretty, especially since a departure last week leaves me, to my horror, the only 'accounting expert' of my level on my team (please imagine me doing the whole 'quotation marks in air with both fingers' thing, if you think that is annoying, magnify it by a hundred and you have HOW I FEEL). And me and numbers - let me put it this way, leave me with too many numbers for too long and soon the only thing going tick tick tick will be MY PATIENCE.
Now you may have a joke about accountants that I had only seen before used for lawyers. But this one makes fun of BOTH. Source:
A business man was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a test to select the most suitable person for the job. He asked each applicant, "What is two and two?"
The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "Twenty-two."
The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a slide rule and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.
The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the case of Jenkins v Brown, two and two was proven to be four.
The last applicant was an accountant. The business man asked him, "How much is two and two?" The accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door and closed it then came back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and said in a low voice..."How much do you want it to be?"
He got the job.
Also, I may explode if I don't make this post, but I suspect my computer will explode first from all the windows I've got open, SO:
So the rest of this post is going to be about Lee and Veser, and clearly it will go into the inevitable Veser/Lee territory, (I have happily and wholeheartedly adopted demoerin's beautiful description this, which is 'World's Most Inappropriate OTP'. Except I kind of don't really have a Veser OTP because it's too much fun having him run off with pretty much everybody, but I really like it.) Um technically I also feel that the TRUE Most Inappropriate OTP would actually be Actual Hatch Family Members / Veser, but I suppose we would need a stronger word that just "inappropriate" for that.
It's not really something I could say that I saw, until... well. Thank you fanfiction. If I had been left to canon alone, Lee would have remained a total non-entity for me always and forever. BUT because I was wandering about on /coq/ one night in February, I stumbled across THIS Veser/Lee fic, and then... then I was ruined for life, ladies and gentlemen (whom I doubt will be reading this). For life I say.
From canon I absolutely cannot see Veser/Lee at all, I am always surprised when anyone says they saw it from canon because I'm, "... HOW?!"
But there are people on my flist who have told me that they saw it from this:
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING.
Fic
1. half-sleeping's prompt answer to 'It's little kid Veser's birthday and no one came except Lee'. (Gen)
2. half-sleeping's Bribery: Lee, Veser and the robot death squads. That take over the ocean.
Alright, we're heading into the other territory now. I kind of love that every Veser/Lee fic I have truly-madly-deeply loved has never started out that way, and I suppose the kind of thing that I'm really, really hungry for is, well, pure-and-simple Lee and Veser interacting as family friend-and-kid. And I've always felt really spoilt in Hanna!fiction land because the stories I've linked here are ones I never expected to be written, but I am very glad that they have been. ♥
3. The Veser/Lee fic that kind of changed everything I thought about Lee.
4. seshennu's Veser/Lee fic, with accompanying FST.
Art
5. I've been meaning to link this forever: aingeal's Lee and Veser at an amusement park artwork. Read the song that goes with it and the description. I first saw it on a rainy day at lunch at a cafe, and I think it was the best place possible for me to have seen it.
THE ASSORTED AND CRAZY LINKS
1. mammaria linked this hilarious dub of hiimdaisy's incredibly hilarious Persona 4 comic.
I AM (NOT) SORRY that um, because of all the hanged!people imagery, the 'HEY THERE'S A NOOSE!' and the sketchiness, for me: the Nameless Protagonist = Lee, and Ryotaro = Veser's Dad (you should see the level of abuse in the parody!comic, that scene re. 'How You Like Your Coffee' in particular, omfg)... that means Veser is Nanako-chan.
Edited since I was commenting to aubyn about it:
SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THE LEVEL OF ABUSE:
and he has "SEEN YOU NAKED".
SO VESER IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER A GIRL, YOU SEE.
USUALLY NAMED NANAKO-CHAN.
... who cries in the parody comic, JUST LIKE VESER DOES IN CANON.
THIS IS TOTALLY LEE:
I MEAN OBSERVE, IT IS THE SAME OUTFIT:
That last one totally ties in with the cast page's description of Lee as, "Lee was commonly confused, well meaning but dull, and had a horrible ability to push the worst case scenario out of his head in favor of a much more comforting half-truth."
OKAAAY.
If you are confused, the Persona 4 Wiki entry might help.
'Some loser rolling around in a trash can' REALLY CRACKED ME UP.
2. Also rofl Blogged.com has a selkie mythology tag, the hell, Veser, get off there.
