I already adore your writing style. Goes well with the cozy feel of the website. One possible typo I found is "He did the entire front of house" instead of "he did the entire front of the house." Not sure if that was intentional.

Thank you for your kind feedback @kohska! :) I did indeed intentionally drop the word "the" from the phrase "front of the house"--I've picked up the colloquial shortened phrases "front of house" and "back of house" from workplaces past.

I can relate. Quarantine is a bummer and there are people I miss seeing, but I feel like going back to "normal" is going to drain all of my energy.

I feel your pain, my friend. It's infuriating when people expect you to bend over backwards to please their every whim, but can't even do the bare minimum of acknowledging your own needs. Personally, the bliss of quarantine has made it even harder for me to hide my autism, and even less willing to compromise to neurotypical sensibilitie, after months of seeing how good I could theoretically have its.

I can relate to this! Re: the article you linked to, I also find that this essay correctly identifies some problems and solutions for groups with unspoken norms, especially ones that formulate themselves as a "community" or "family" https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

you've really made me reconsider no face as a character with this! spirited away (along with the other ghibli movies) are some of my favorites, and i really enjoyed this in depth look and personal analysis of no face's character. i am also really glad you made it out of that workplace, and i hope to read more of your writings in the future :D

Thank you for the link hotelpaintings--I enjoyed my first read through it and will be chewing on it for awhile. Roccie--thank you for your kind words, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! :) Also, Studio Ghibli movies are some of my favorites too.
