Dev Amil, a rising star in the rap cosmos, stands at the precipice of 2025, acutely aware that his most valuable resource isn’t measured in dollars or streams, but in the ticking seconds of time itself. As we delve into the world of this enigmatic artist, we…

Buck: I just wanted to let you all know that I have a boyfriend.

Hen: Congrats Buck!

Chimney: Wait let us guess! Does he have brown hair?

Hen: Was he in the army?

Chimney: Does his job involve rescuing people?

Hen: Does he have abs for days?

Chimney: Do we know him?

Buck: How did you two know I was dating Tommy?!

Hen and Chimney: WHAT!

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

Hey, listen. I've been posting donation asks lately, but there's some stuff that I'm just. Not going to post. Like, if you spam my inbox by sending several exact duplicates of an ask within minutes of each other, or if you send something that's just a straight up guilt trip about people not responding to your asks, I'm not showing that to my followers. I am also not going to post anything with pictures from people I don't know, because I don't want to play the 'does this blurred picture contain graphic medical procedures, open, untreated wounds, dead bodies, etc. that I'm going to regret seeing if I click on it' game. This is a fandom blog I do as a hobby, not a donation or activism blog, and if this gets too stressful or annoying for me, I'm going to just stop posting this kind of thing and close my inbox altogether.

genuinely ppl think copyright law being extended will mean they will be able to stop ppl from using their art in ai training. what's actually going to happen is Disney is going to use their insane backlog of other people's art (which those artists no longer have the rights to), train their own personal ai to make boring generic slop with it, fire a bunch of their artists bc they don't need them anymore, and then sue you for putting your little mermaid fanart sticker set on etsy. Oh and then they'll steal said fanart and put it on boxlunch tshirts that they sell back to you for $34.99.

kinda fascinating to be in a situation where I've had to call / online chat with insurance representatives during the whole UH CEO fallout. I have BCBS and maaaybe they're always this helpful but idk, they just seem so responsive and taking extra steps to help me out and it turns out the issue I'm having isn't even on their side, it's the dentist's! also their online chat is a real person??? I don't have to work around the AI before it finally transfers me??? Incredible

anyway turning this post into a psa to 1) ALWAYS check that your medical bills match what your insurance's Explanation of Benefits (EOB) reads (you do this by checking what amount your insurance says "patient owes" in the EOB and if your bill doesn't match that, your provider is overcharging you) and 2) DO NOT Get Your Dental Care At Great Expressions Holy Shit I'm Pissed

My wife and I went to the dentist in fall 2022 for the first time since the pandemic started, and the bills we both received were so high i've never gone again since then, because i don't wanna spend 500 bucks on a basic cleaning + X-rays. But my wife has continued to go twice a year cuz her teeth suck so the frequent check-up matters more for her.

And lordy, we've been naive lol. We've heard dental is expensive so we've just been resigned to the high costs; we also both have terrible executive functioning around all things financial and are woefully under-educated about how bills and insurance work — but the latest bill we got was just too damn much and I finally mustered up the spoons to figure shit out.

Aaaand it turns out that, while the dentist charged nearly one thousand dollars for her three fillings, the EOB shows we only owe $128. Buck. Wild.

So I've gone through every charge we've gotten over the years and they are all hundreds of dollars higher than the EOB. Great Expressions has been taking advantage of our ignorance and naivety to rob us for two fricking years.

If I understand what one insurance rep told me, since Great Expressions has a contract with BCBS they're supposed to charge us an in-network rate, which is far cheaper than out-of-network rates. Basically they send their proposed bill to our insurance, who send back a fraction of the money proposed as decided in the contract between them; insurance also tells the dentist the cost the dentist can then charge us.

But Great Expressions is pocketing the insurance money and then charging us the remainder of their original proposed cost instead of the contracted rate. So they're clearly aware that we are in-network, but still charging us like we're out-of-network. WTF

Anyway thank you BCBS reps who helped me figure all this out, incredible to actually have some non-AI customer service in this age lol. And everyone else please wish me luck as I make a chart of each dental bill we've gotten since 2022 versus what the EOB states — and then take it to the dental clinic in person because they are Not Helpful over the phone lemme tell you

The plan is to try to talk it out with them myself, and if I can't get them to listen to me I'm going to call an BCBS insurance rep while in the clinic with them so they can talk it over lmao. And if that doesn't get me the past years' charges back...idk if i can consult a lawyer or whatever but I'm gonna get this damn money back.

also we're going to get a new damn dentist. obviously

I've been... Busy 👀

Trying to get all 4 arcs from season 1 into books!

(not available for sale, these are print proofs. I'm planning a Kickstarter early next year!)

i hate doing this but long story short, my last job stiffed me on my paycheck so i have a whole month of bills that have gone unpaid.

anything helps but i specifically need ~$50 by the 24th or else my car insurance policy cancels.

i have adopts in my ko-fi shop, but if u just want to be kind u can donate to my ko-fi ;w;

im also open to doodling for donations so if u want a doodle lmk as well

(if ur feeling super generous i also need $400 for rent.

doordash has been slow lately and ive used all the adoptables money so far for rent, but every single day is another $10 late fee. i got it down to just 300 but its back up to 400 now because of late fees.)

[angry-glasses]

to cleanse myself a little from the SHEER RAGE, i'm going to talk about one of things i found hilarious from the novel

Lu Yizhan was really just fucking with everyone the whole time

he knew everything

i'm not even going to talk about the times he waited exactly seven seconds to "forget" about the game, or him pretending to be all confused and asking if Bai Liu is selling his body, and then if he works in a circus (a goddamn circus, how he kept a straight face i have no idea, the man deserves an oscar), but

the rose factory arc. with tang erda. telling him to his face "gosh, officer, i'm so sorry, i just took my eyes away from him for one second, it's all my fault, BUT i promise he's not evil AND he's my friend so can he get a lesser sentence please <3?"

bitch

bitch, you were there. for all the worldlines Tang Erda went through, and more

you know exactly what is going through this man's mind

you know who he sees when he looks at Bai Liu

was it fun to tell him it was your little meow meow instead???????
