video/text; AS SEEN ON BWITTER

[recommendations]

[ There's a series of ads that have been featured on many hip social media outlets lately: Bwitter, Rumblr, Instagraham— all featuring a curvaceous young model with sleek, shiny, and voluminous black hair. There are sweeping violins in the background, rose petals everywhere, and some smooth-talking salesperson detailing the organic health properties of the trendy new shampoo and conditioner formula called: Brillianse! ]





[ The commercials promise softer, sleeker hair that lasts up to 48 hours on a single wash, with a scent that will catch the attention of all those you pass by. The model beams and flips her hair over her shoulder effortlessly, playing the perfect part of a shampoo commercial actress.

Buy Brillianse! Only $12.99 in select stores now! But don't take our word for it! Momo Yaoyorozu says it's BRILLIANT! Brillianse! ]

How do you know when you've made a good career decision?

I thought you did very well in the shampoo ad! Is that why you're worried?

[recommendations]

Yes, a little. You don't think it's "selling out"?

[battysitter]

If you like what you are doing, then it's a good career decision, no?

[fource]

Does the shampoo actually work? And would you recommend it? If so, I wouldn't overthink it.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Thats easy

youve made a good decision when work doesnt feel like work and you go to bed feeling satisfied with yourself

also asking if you made the right choice is kind of a tip off

at least thats how it sounds to me

[explosivo]

[ ..... ]

If they're paying you an assload for this sellout shit
I don't even know if that's worth it

[recommendations]

It's fine shampoo. Among the best I've used, for the price.
I'm still not sure how I feel about being in the spotlight this way, though.

[recommendations]

I suppose... I'm not sure whether I particularly like what I'm doing just now, on its own.

[recommendations]

That's a good way to distinguish it.
I suppose the work I'm doing now isn't very satisfying.
I would be fine with it if it went along with other duties which I've been training for... But all on its own, I'm not so sure.

[recommendations]

[ >:T ]

They're not paying me all that much, in all honesty.

[explosivo]

Do I need to kill them until more money falls out?

[recommendations]

What? NO!!

[explosivo]

Then they're being cheap bastards just trying to screw you over for fucking SHAMPOO COMMERCIALS

[forgeabettertomorrow]

well what have you been trained for? Theres gotta be plenty of work out there if youve been trained for it

[battysitter]

Why are you doing it, then?

[fehus]

i think it's probably one of those "if you gotta ask" moments...?

[fource]

I'd say it's better to be in the spotlight for a business decision than for other reasons. You're not advocating for a bad product or doing anything unethical, right?

[recommendations]

No, I would never!

[recommendations]

Where I'm from, this kind of work is often part and parcel with the vocation I have been training for, so I thought it would be relevant experience for me.

But doing just this, without the main part...? It's not what I had envisioned for myself.

[recommendations]

I'm in the hero course at my country's premier Pro Hero high school.

[recommendations]

Yes, that seems to be a consensus...

[recommendations]

I'm still relatively unknown, so it makes sense that they wouldn't be paying me as much as they would an established celebrity!

[fource]

Then you have nothing to be ashamed of.

[recommendations]

I suppose you're right. I'll just have to keep doing my best to stay true to myself in everything I do.

[fource]

Of course, if you still feel uncertain later, you should reconsider. All businesses have spokespeople, though. It's really not unusual.
