#(which is legal to own here!!)

(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)
#polls#tumblr polls#For me I think the top ones would be the House. The Money. or the Friend Group. But I ultimately might would go for the house#JUST becuase it would be my Dream House which means it would already meet mostly all of my specifications#and what I might be looking for. which would save a lot of time searching or customizing/rennovating.#Also because I could use that as a way to leave the US lol.. like .. if I get to choose my dream location.. couldnt I just choose some othe#country?? But I wonder how that works. Can you legally 100% have full ownership of a property in a country yet not be a citizen of that#country?? Would you show up and be like 'erm.. i own this house.. so i shall now live in it' and theyd be like 'uh no. you cant live here#despite owning the house. leave.' ??#So I think the initial process of 1. scraping together funds to actually MOVE myself and my most valuable belongings physically#TO another country. and 2. figuring out how to STAY in that country . might end up being difficult.. BUT. if I could just work that#part of things out then.. dream house?? security for once in my life?? stability?? :0#Though the $1mil is enticing it's also like.. I feel .. with the way housing prices are now... that's not much???#it's a lot I guess if you plan on like.. investing half the money and staying in an apartment for 5 years while you grow your wealth#or something. but if you're a 'I Need Stability NOW' ready to settle down person who would be most interested in owning a property rather#than nice clothes or a car or whatever other investments you could make then.. eh..?? It seems like unless you're okay with living in#a small town or kind of far away from the city - even some SMALL houses in majorly populated areas in the US will be like#$600.000 - $900.000 or something. like that would be MOST of my money. Which I know you could just pay partially and make#payments on it but idk.. in the option of just outright owning the house it seems like it'd end up being cheaper.#Plus I would want to own it fully asap because I'd be afraid of losing it somehow otherwise. like it being taken for medical bills or#something. which I thought was supposed to be - not IMPOSSIBLE - slightly more complicated legally if you actually have#paid off the house in full. I guess the issue then would be utilities and property tax and such. But I feel like thats overcome-able??#Like I could just stipulate that my Dream House has a little furnished addition or something and then find someone#with money and be like 'Look you can live in this extremely nice area with amazing ameneties and updated everything and ALL you have#to do is give me money to cover the utilities and property tax.'' or something like that. Like the little furnished addition is nicer#than the actual house. they have their own pool and spa and movie room or something and Ill also cook all their meals for them#or whatever (how luxurious it would be depeneds on how high the property tax actually is/how much I would need to entice them into#why it's a good deal for them to pay it for me lol). idk... something like that.. ANYWAY#I asked a few people I know though and one of them answered they'd rather have a romantic partner. the other one said they'd like#to be able to choose someone to die lol.. So I'm curious what people value the most

Dog Meshi.
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#marcille donato#laios touden#The foreshadowing of the laios's barking is so funny. It isn't even just Marcille's flashback. It's everywhere.#It's the love of dogs. How he intimidates the basilisk. General fascination with creatures and their behaviours.#This is a man who is would not be a furry per say but would own a fursuit for the fascination of the craft.#Laios is the guy in the forums rating people's hybrid fursonas for nothing but the love of creatures.#Dog Laios would use his powers to go into dog-free restaurants.#That human impression is so good. One might say 'Woah who's that confident hairy guy? Alright boss; in you go.'#He would be the no.1 customer of a New York Deli that has no legal business license but makes the best sandwiches in the city.#“Would Senshi run it?” I think he would also be a dog in this theoretical AU. Which...makes the scene even funnier actually.#A comic in which everyone is dogs was never something I thought I'd make but here we are!#Marcille is a borzoi (elf of dogs). Tolden siblings are golden lab-retrievers.#Senshi is a scottish terrier. Chilchuck is harder; I need to think on that one. Another terrier perhaps.#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. I hope this comic makes someone laugh half as much as I did while drawing it.

something I always ALWAYS do with digital art is to do so using a mode I like to call "Mobile Preview"
(it's not actually called this. all I did was make the built-in thumbnail preview of my art program huge. the cost to work space is worth it)
doing this allows you to see if anything you're actually working on is even visible on a mobile phone - which is what 70% of the users of this site access it with. I cannot even begin to tell you how much time this saves you. 🙏 save your wrists and life force, artists, I beg of u 🙏🙏🙏🙏
#auropost#furry#wip#commission work#there are also other benefits to doing this#one being that it makes for an attractive screenshot!#especially on mobile!#just make sure there is no personal information on said screen if the work is a commission!#as long as there's no personal info u can use commissioned art for whatever you want#this goes for both commissioner and commisionee! artists: just make sure you watermark it and do not take said watermark off#commissioners do not own the image you create#and unless you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement with your client#they legally cannot dictate any terms of how the artwork is used unless they own a copyright to the intellectual property#which is why AI is currently un-copyrightable#i need to do a writeup on artists' work rights because they kick in as soon as you turn 18 and i didn't know Any of them then#thank you for reading my ranting btw i am a little. heated. i feel like an Art Uncle and im happy to be here for it

I love that this fandom doesn't understand Baxter's character, I adore how they patronize him,a whole ass adult, for facing the consequences of his actions.
I love how people make him feel like a sad little baby when he leaves mc as if that's not something he made extremely clear. I love how people treat this 19 year old as if he's not old enough to understand the consequences of his actions. I love how Baxter is aware of his flaw's but feels like he can't break them because people only see him as a tool and this fandom reinforces that.
I love how people will get mad at Nico for doing the cardinal crime of being 6 years old but will baby a 24 year old Baxter. I love how people make him this charismatic rich guy when it's shown that he's a hot mess that doesn't know what he wants. I love that Baxter's whole character arc is about his self sabotaging tendencies and how everyone ignores that. I love that people fell in love with the mask he had for most of the dlc.
I love that this fandom lacks reading comprehension skills and understanding of nuance characters, great job everyone for not understanding how writing works :)
#our life#misty talks our life#olba#our life beginnings & always#our life beginnings and always#olba baxter#our life baxter#baxter ward#this is what i mean by “i don't haye Baxter's character” i think hes very interesting and we should look towards his dlc with critical eyes#because it's a fact that his dlc was rushed and that kab/gb lady doesnt care for him#it shown in the writing of his dlc#so that is interesting for me but is also interesting for me how ppl are quick to baby this man#like again baxter is fucking 19 when he leaves mc “but misty 19 year olds aren't fully growns up” hi 19 year old here#i know that bitch but im old enough to understand that my actions have consequences and affect others#which is smth Baxter is aware of as well#that's fhe thing that bothers me#hes young enough to make that mistake but old enough to understand it will impact mc view on relationships#romantic or platonic smth like that will affect you in some ways#and he knows because hes not a young teenager who still doesn't know how his actions impact people#hes legally an adult he can live on his own hes able to ride a car hes off to college#is not a grown up but is not a child either#as a 19 year old I would love of ppl treated him as a young adult making a dumb mistake#instead of a baby who didn't know any better#like even if he did regret it he knows that thats his fault#hes aware that hes doing this shit to himself and wont stop#thats the point of his dlc#anyways i should make a post on cove's autism

Question, is there a way I can file complaints against FAFSA because this is the dumbest bullshit in the world
#it's asking-- no REQUIRING my dad's financial information#and that information will determine how much money I receive to cover college#but i Do Not Live With My Dad. He Provides No Financial Support.#the only ways around this are 1) if I have a court recognized legal guardian (i don't. i am a legal adult.)#or 2) if my family situation is of ''unusual circumstance''#i COULD apply for that since my mom passed away a few years ago BUT! only if i couldn't get a hold of my dad! which i can!#i just don't live with him! i never had! my parents never married!#the kicker here is that the financial information is only required for students under 24#??????? yeah i don't fucking know why either- neither did the school counselor#despite me living with my grandparents I am marked on all of my legal documents as my own household because I Legally Am.#i'm gonna fucking eat concrete#xen.speaks

the joke is that i did not sleep at all
#just a small vent#drawn from bed in mspaint#a comic specifically about a return of some severe gender dysphoria i thought i was long past#and the feelings of being trapped with no way to safely transition in any regard#between Shit Health and Shit Country#i don't even rly feel safe being out online tbh even this feels like a Hazard because of past traumas but w/e#i wish i were brave enough to just say fuck it but my body is doing so poorly these days i just cannot take the chance of#introducing a drastic hormonal change on top of it all#which can also come with its own health risks#i wish i had the money to just surgically transition because at least that's discreet and not something anyone would even know about#but i worry i would never heal from it because my body heals so fucking slowly with all the health shit#i don't need to be legally recognized within the binary and i don't care about what marker is on my ids and such i just wish i could feel#okay existing in my body and have my body not be immediately shoved into a box#also my voice makes me wanna kms but nothing to be done for that :')#partially because my throat's fucked up and damaged from medical mistreatment but also other reasons#these are feelings i haven't dealt with since like high school#it'll pass but oughgh i'd be lying if i said i'm not sitting here actively regretting my Birth and Existence harder than usual#i envy people who are able to transition so hard i could frow up#and i don't really like the feelings of envy i'm not really used to it and it feels Nasty

made a 16-slide presentation for gabriel jha, i spent three days back to back on this (and planning out the fic that takes place before, during, and after tdpi that's centric around his and dave's brotherly bond, alenoah, noah and dave's friendship, and alejandro and carlos's brotherly bond)
(the slideshow reads like a character wiki page 💀)
no going back now. while i finalize the slides (idek if i should post it here, it's a full-on oc form for a character only i care abt 😭 but it would be good background info), have some before/after racing accident that had dave auditioning for total drama picrews of gabriel! (so in other words, pre and post tdpi gabriel)

#im still debating whether his hair should be longer or styled up#bc like i can def see him growing it out long as a “fuck you” to his dad#but having it styled up and gelled is totally his sort of mojo#so depending on what i ultimately go for the 'before' pic may or may not change#gabriel the man that you are...you are not even a character in td yet i have sm planned for you#he and carlos are gonna be such a trip. debating on them staying as friends or a romantic pairing#bc like their lives mirror each other in many ways#both of them have younger brothers who td fucked over#both of them moved out of their houses upon being legal bc of toxic family influences#both of them feel like they should have tried harder to keep their siblings away from td#gabriel has a direct connection to that so hes gonna be feeling lots more guilt and regret#so they both can actually support each other bc they understand what the other goes through#ough i have sm planned for them omfg#and dave and gabriel's bond is gonna be so complex#which will get carlos and alejandro to realize there are a couple of things they need to discuss too#and noah's just in the middle with his bf and his family friend having their own individual crisis on either side of him#gabriel jha#never thought i'd be making a td oc but here we are. its not even an oc who goes to td or is on the island lmaoo that's the irony of it#kit's ocs#td oc#noahtally-famous#kit stuff#total drama

... I'd be so fucking blind every single day in that house with all of that light flooding in.
#to be very very fair#i'm blind in my own house every day too#i not only have blue eyes- i have extremely photosensitive eyes#i can wear sunglasses at night#i go to buy new glasses like 'hello what is the absolute darkest pair you can legally make' and it's still too bright#also i keep my windows wholly covered with blackout curtains in my bedroom while my father loves to open every window#as soon as the sun is even slightly up#so i come downstairs and just yell 'my eyes!'#that's a pretty common morning in my house#but i'm also the only one who can walk around the house at night without nightlights so like checkmate i'm the most useful in a power outag#which happens almost never but if it DOES i'm in my ELEMENT#by 'almost never' i mean in the 22 years we've lived here it's happened like once#cutie pie#watch

Being undiagnosed autistic with a diagnosed autistic brother can be really fucking annoying sometimes because if you don’t want to do something because it’s overstimulating for you you will have to suck it up simply because “your brother can handle it so can you” and its like AAAAAA I WANT TO RIP MY HAIR OUT
#aaronymous ramblings#vent#also i dont think my accommodations are unreasonable?#my mom always treats me like im the most selfish person in the world for saying ‘oh id rather just stay home you go out and have fun with#my brother’ and somehow thats like the worst thing ever#i get shes my mom and she gets worried about me but like i can legally drive i have a JOB i go to COLLEGE let me make my own decisions damn#having a family dynamic like this is like being infantilized and treated like the villain at the same time its like what#like god forbid I dont wanna sit outside in an overstimulating place for 6 hours straight and then go on a boat ride which you know I#notoriously get really anxious and panicky on like#if i dont go she acts like im selfish and if i do go she mocks me for being grumpy like no shit i dont wanna be here i wouldnt be annoying#you by me just being upset and trying my best not to express it if you let me not come#i thought i was bending a knee to her by agreeing to try new things and go out in the first place and idk#she just does not at all understand my perspective#god forbid someone’s form of relaxation is watching tv instead of sitting on a texture they hate with loud noises and people wverywhere with#nothing to do at all#AAAAAAAA#first world problems i know#this is why i hate vacations btw#i should have stayed home like my other brother he is way better with boundaries than i am

btw i need swerfs to understand they have blood on their hands like i know they like to depict themselves as Saviors Of Poor Sexploited Women but. you are killing people actually
#let me tell you about criminalization of sex work and how even the 'providing sex work = legal. buying it = illegal' compromise is dangerous#here in france the law works this way. sex workers aren't criminals (though are often treated like they are) but their clients are#you'd think this is a better situation for sex workers but this actually puts them in danger#because the client is the one taking the risk to get in legal trouble it makes them think they get to set the rules#that they get to set their own prices and demand favors and. i mean Demand. i mean through violence.#i'm making this post because a charity for trans people just lost one of its most loyal and hardworking activists#frida was a peruvian trans woman doing sex work in paris. she was beaten with a metal bar by a client 2 years ago which left her paralyzed#she died recently from the consequences of that attack. her death is potentially legally classifiable as murder.#so remember : when you ask for sex work to be criminalized This is what you get. no matter which side of the transaction is criminalized.#people die. people get assaulted. people get abused.#when you criminalize sex work it doesn't stop happening. it justs stops the people doing it from being protected.#make peace with the oldest career in the world deserving respect or be ready to face a mirror and call what you see in it a murderer

Hornblower but I make him talk like this
#yeah yeah this is a rural/working class accent and he's a middle class doctor's son i know#at least it could explain the rhotic slip-ups committed by ioan gruffudd in the show#(which are my beloved btw <3 choosing to consider them conscientious objection to the most english guy to ever english)#(i know that's absolutely not what they were but listen. radical linguistic praxis makes it bearable okay)#anyways i'm sure that hornblower has *some* kentish features in his speech#they're all so mean to him about being the son of a country doctor he has to show a slight phonological coloring in some situations#but also for legal reasons this is entirely a joke#i do think it's a pretty dialect though! i like the way it sounds when i try to read the scrunkly pre-ipa here#perce rambles#adventures in historical sociolinguistics#<- making this a new tag because i feel like it's its own rabbit hole#percy yells at cecil scott

#mega tyranitar#thank you to that random anon ask for causing me to remind myself that tyranitar had a mege that i forgot. here they are#i just do not remember that most pokémon even have megas. there's so many pokémon and forms i've like. missed#over the months on this blog. hell i think i even missed my own favorite pokémon. my own species! myself! me! and i forgot me!#all i'd have to do is take a selfie for cryin' out loud! but i think i forgot. so. my true form will forever remain a mystery…#unless someone asks for it and points it out. in which case i think i'll be legally required to#anyway here's mega tyranitar. it's definitely a pokémon out there. almost indistinguishable from regular tyranitar when front-facing

"who radicalized you" my kindergarten teacher for forcing me to sit in front of the whole class during the "if you're happy and you know it" song and smile and clap my hands, as a punishment for not clapping my hands because I was not happy (and i knew it) and we had just received a classroom lecture about not fucking lying.
next.
"who radicalized you" ever since i was a child i wanted other people to be treated nicely and fairly because i didnt understand why theyd deserve otherwise and it fills me with disgust seeing how people treat their fellow human beings sometimes
#lifelong problem with authority unlocked at age 5#it was an absolutely pivotal moment and i am not even kidding#people in authority cannot be trusted with your well being and will punish you for not performing to their satisfaction#and use that punishment as a threat to your peers#nobody who has power over you can be trusted to care about YOU more than the pleasure their unchallenged authority gives them#also they stole a book from me because they didn't believe i owned it or could even read it because it was advanced and expensive#they legit accused me of stealing it from the library despite it not having markings#when my parents asked them about it they said they didn't know anything about it and that i had just lost it and was lying#i don't know which of those assholes took it for their own kid but i guarantee that is what happened#so yeah#i learned i had no value to them and only had the power that my parents had#(also beating children was allowed in this school and was done where other kids could hear it to terrorize us and that is STILL LEGAL HERE)#(40 YEARS LATER)#i fucking hated school and i hate the way this society is structures for the same exact reasons

Starting to build a life with someone after spending years thinking you'd be alone forever is fucking wild
#in a few months im gonna be moving into my girlfriend's house and we're gonna open a joint savings account#and im gonna have legal rights to her home and life insurance policy we're gonna be each other's healthcare proxies#and we're gonna get married eventually#like???#what???#me?????#this is happening to me???#ive always thought being alone was how my life would go#and honestly i wasn't even upset about it it made sense#but god i love not being alone#i love having a partner because my partner is so fucking wonderful#they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me and i can't believe i get to spend the rest of my life loving her#anyway ive been thinking about this because im gonna be moving in with my girlfriend soon and we were talking about it with her housemate#and they were like oh yeah i have absolutely no issues with you having a stake in the hosue after you live here for a bit#and we'll just treat you like another owner instead of a renter#which like damn#didnt expect that but i am in no way complaining at all#and this person is essentially a sibling to my girlfriend they are so incredibly close like her and her partner are why my gf moved here#and she absolutely refused to live with my girlfriend's ex so it really means a lot to me that they like me so much and are so inviting#im still nervous as fuck about moving in and seeing how everything works out because there's gonna be 4-5 of us living together#but their friend who's currently living there is not the best roommate and it seems like she's gonna be moving out soon#so having one less person there will be nice and id get to take over their room which would be great because i desperately want my own space#but we shall see what happens#regardless im looking forward to future#personal

just had a random video essay about whether retcons by the author should be allowed in my recommended stuff on youtube. anyways there's like maybe 3 comments on the video and they're all in consensus that the story belongs to the author and that it's as simple as that
meanwhile, me, currently a literature major, can very easily point to roland barthes "death of the author", which I did read in full last year and actually highly enjoyed (I actually really enjoyed all the barthes stuff we read, even though I hated the course I read them all through because it had a test at the end that effectively required you to memorize a good 30 essays or so, the shortest of which being 5 pages long, and the longest being an upwards of 70, but my gripes with the history of literature and culture in the 20th century are a story for another post, maybe)
anyways this is a post about how if anyone ever tells you something is clear cut and there's no room for argument, and they're not joking (I have, previously, made jokes about "no no everything is clearly black and white", and sometimes they fell flat, but that then turned into really interesting discussions so I guess it's worth it), they absolutely do not know enough about that subject to comment on it
#the only things that are black and white in this world are backgammon pieces and old movies#once again in death of the author comes to haunt me at inopportune moments#didn't finish watching the video bc they Did start talking about who Technically Legally owns the IP#and right after a line that could've very easily segued into discussion abt barthes#and the video had maybe 12 whole minutes to it and I knew that if they didn't mention barthes by that point they wouldnt have at all#and also I didnt actually care bc I thought it was about the consequences of retcon on the fandom not whether retcon should be allowed#which. who gives a shit if its allowed. art is art you do you authority is bullshit but we follow our favorite authors anyways#because its easier to follow and its nice to have that reprieve and also because we live in an age where contesting authors is allowed#like. fanfic. but also like going to a meet w the author and going “I didnt like that plz talk abt why u did that”#discussion makes art better. making more art makes art better#talking about what should and shouldnt be allowed in art is panopticon type bs and we should stop policing ppl#anyways thanks for coming to my. blog. talk. Ill be here.. forever. hopefully#accidentally delving into theoretical political philosophies at the end there but ig the post always was abt that too huh

Anything new about Bill S 210?
From what the Parliament site says, it hasn't been touched since June. But between now and sometime next year there's probably going to be an election so that can change at any time, especially if they begin to rush things.
#What I find funny is the lack of conservative blowback.#They were soooo against Digital ID in Canada like what - half a year ago?#And now here's a bill that can be used to force Digital ID for any site that may lead to adult material#which is pretty much the whole internet except children's websites#and they're silent!#And people want to elect them here next time. Ahaha.#Canada#Politics#Bill S-210#Keeping their kids safe from online harm is mommy and daddy's problem.#If they give their brat a tablet as a babysitter and never check in or don't implement child safety measures...#Then they're failures as parents.#Young kids should need to earn online privacy.#My dad would always sneak up and look over my shoulder until I was like 15-16 to make sure I wasn't up to something stupid#and it annoyed me at the time but I get why he did it.#I wasn't allowed my own computer until I was like. Mid-teens.#After I'd proven that I could be trusted with it - that I wouldn't get into legal trouble or overshare my info to strangers.#Online access isn't a toy it's a public space with strangers on it.#It's like letting your very young kid go to a public park in a sleazy city alone.#The park is nice but there's a sex shop on every corner and anyone can be in the park.#And my dad - the main parent that raised me - was in the fucking military. He wasn't some guy that was never busy.#But he was able to make time. He was able to familiarize himself with new tech even though he was in his 40s-50s.#It's called having an interest in your own fucking kids.#I guess.#I just wish he'd have practiced what he preached when he taught me how to clear the browser history#lmao
