merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.
arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.
#arthur absolutely checks him out every time he walks out in it#every ten seconds hes looking away from his guests and staring at merlin#merlin only realizes about half the time#that hes staring. not that he’s checking him out.#arthur noticed the few nobles staring at merlin like a hot piece of ass#he keeps merlin in his chambers with a list of chores to complete#it keeps him busy until the visiting noble is gone#arthur desperately wants merlin to wear the damn tunic to get the nobles to back off#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#THAT FUCKING PURPLE TUNIC LIVES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE#WHAT WAS THE REASON#i hc merlins favorite color is purple bc out in ealdor he was surroubded by green brown and beige#with the occasional red from the blood of livestock#but when the sun went down after a long day and he and will lay out in the field behind his moms house#he’d see the rich violet of the sky and fall in love#but since yknow peasant boy he can only afford red and blue clothing so thats what he gets#hc#head canon#headcanon#fanfic#fanfiction#fic idea

i get such a sense of primal envy when looking at edwin’s clothes up close because god you can just tell his coat is real wool and made to last and not cheap flimsy mass produced garbage and auggagghhhh that was just STANDARD in his time. by no means am i saying i was #borninthewronggeneration because i like having vaccines and household appliances but. man. to have a personally-tailored coat like that that’d last for years and years……. and fabrics of fine thread-dense quality………. if only
#edwin would be so disgusted by shein products can you fucking imagine#i mean he’d be disgusted by most mass produced brand/off-brand clothing but fast fashion shit like that would be the Worst#thank god for the fact that I don’t think anyone in the group would wear that kinda shit. for wildly different reasons#crystal wouldn’t because why the fuck would she. she can afford the most expensive high quality shit on the market. and even if she goes#thrifting you can just tell if something looks/feels like cheap garbage she’d not even touch it#niko’s a fashion icon and constantly changing her outfits BUT she seems like the type who loves repurposing old clothing/re-arranging things#in her wardrobe and making different combinations rather than buying new clothes all the time and wasting perfectly good clothing#plus she wasn’t raised in America and likely did not get normalized to fast fashion#charles doesn’t because. well#you know.#ghost. and whatnot#even so I doubt his parents bought him clothes that often so he’d have to either save up the money to buy stuff he wants (probably thrifted)#or repurpose old clothes in various ways. his coat absolutely looks high quality and I bet he saved up like crazy for it#rambling#edwin#dead boy detectives#edwin payne

Luke via the boy photo book
#luke hemmings posing thoughtfully with his arms folded is something that can be so personal#5sos#5 seconds of summer#luke hemmings#luke#boy ep#kh4f post#i absolutely cannot afford this product but i am v curious about it#the urge i had to make each pic a separate post ngl#but sadly the image quality really did not qualify#however when one of y'all is a hero and scans the book... 😏🤗😌#anyways both of these pics are very specifically devastating#but you know the b&w one with the arms and the tight tee has taken me all the way out#what a fun unexpected treat

So pay your writers and actors, you greedy fuck.

exclusively between the hours of 1 and four
#rare digital art brought to you once again by ibis paint and my finger.#pathologic#art#peter stamatin#andrey stamatin#i made these like a month apart with completely different brushes and you can kind of tell#theyre getting as good a use out of their degrees as i probably will.#ie the architectural engineering being applied absolutely nowhere and making ends meet as a barkeep and#in his own words#the trailing shadow of an architect#anyways im always glad to chat with them when the game affords me the chance#we arent ever on the same wavelength but sometimes the lines converge

I feel like if you started a crowd fund or a patreon you would be out of debt pretty quick my friend, lots of people love you
i have previously posted about how i have a ko-fi (with monthly subscription options like patreon (no rewards for now as there isn't really anything i could think of for that with what i do rn (probably in the future tho))), i sometimes post about the debt as well, but it's just hard to get out of when monthly income can't quite cover things long enough to not drop back into debt at which point it just grows again
#personal financea#like anything helps if u can afford it#and more monthly supporters absolutely helps immensely with budgeting and preventing this in the future#it's really hard to live off of what i have in one of the countries with highest cost of living

i swear my stepdad is so illogical AND stubborn it hurts
#okay so strap in coz this is a wild ride#tl;dr we have been without heat and warm water for years and i mean literal years#because he refuses to pay off some debt he built up with the company#because he feels unfairly treated (let's not get into this. it absolutely makes no sense) by the company#so instead of doing the logical step of growing some balls and admitting he made a mistake and paying off his shit#he's been looking for a new supplier all over but the deal IS#that he's been doing this with a couple of places before and people are hesitant to even make him any offers#and you'd think that learning about THAT at least now he'd be like. idk willing to just pay off his debt and be done with it#but you'd be WRONG#now he's looking to just have our entire heating system replaced for the teeny tiny price of 25000 bucks#mind you his debt isn't even a THIRD of that#and obviously he can't afford those 25000 bucks#so what's his next step now you might wonder?#well good thing you asked. his next step is going off on ME for not paying towards the new heating he wants#and now that that's not working for him guess what he did next?#that's right. he bought shit expensive 'space heaters' that are pretty much just small little boxes that you plug into an outlet#and he swears up and down that they're going to heat up our house (it's negative degrees outside)#(it's obviously not working)#and genuinely. all i can think of is how much money he shoved into trying to macgyver this house into a house with warm water and heating#and how he blew off ten thousands of bucks he got paid when he retired within the span of two weeks#when this debt could have been paid off ten times over by now#so now you might be thinking. okay tiago. why don't you move out#good question you see. my mom is disabled and reliant on someone who cares for her#something that he can't won't and shouldn't do because the last time he sorta kinda tried she almost died and we had to call an ambulance#she wouldn't eat a thing if i weren't there to cook. the house would fall into disrepair if i wouldn't do maintenance all around#i've set up (functioning) heat in some areas she occupies and i've gotten a boiler going so she at least has warm water#i'm paying off their bills to make sure he doesn't skip on paying any others. i'm buying groceries for them because again they wouldn't get#any for themselves#and finally. i've offered to pay off his debt so that we can finally live like normal fucking people do#and guess what. guess WHAT. he just got mad at me for not adding money to that 25000 bucks pool for that new fancy heating he wants

I wish Choices would bring back diamond challenges. Like for playing a certain amount of chapters or something (the ones for buying premium stuff are nice, but they're ultimately about spending instead of saving, which is what I'm about rn). Or do activities like the scavenger hunt one they did for the winter holidays one year.
Also miss the consecutive login bonus, and I wish it wasn't a one-time thing. I remember, when I got it, My Two First Loves was releasing, so I never missed a login day and got a bunch of diamonds from it.
#me last week saying it's okay to spend 75 diamonds on Blades's comeback bc it was an LI scenes chapter#meaning that not every chapter will call for me to spend that many diamonds#only to buy every diamond choice offered today 🤡#can I afford it? absolutely. but you know what they say. gotta act broke to stay rich or w/e

last thing i’ll say; people aren’t owed free content but creatives aren’t owed financial compensation either
#i say all this as a cretive btw lets head that off#their bottom line was ���we want more money to make bigger things and we cant afford to so we want more money in order to do them’#and that is a valid desire#but you cant just expect everyone to go along with that just bc you want it#watcher got where they are due to a loyal viewer base#to reject money from corporations in favour of money from that viewer base? thats skeevy#to default to a complete and absolute paywall removing all your content then pretend that you weren't going to? thats skeevy#to make a countdown to an announcement then make the announcement a somber trip down memory lane#and an ‘if only we can make more stuff like this wink wink’? thats skeevy#and its skeevy bc theyre a company and no matter how personable they are companies are not your friend#are they the rich we should be eating? no#but when your ceo drives a tesla and eats expensive food that is written off as a buisness expense#AND you have a patreon that you dont capitalise on but still brings you on average 100k a month#you cant act like youre a hard done by creative#endevouring to make more elaborate creations is a good idea#monetisation is a good idea#absolute monetisation with no thought to an alternative isnt#name one indie artist that relies entirely on paid content ill wait#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#watcher#shane madej#ryan bergara#steven lim#hey there demons it’s me ya boy#ghost files

ok mean but it was v funny in like sept 2022 when people said the kiriona thing was out of character considering how two of gideon's most prominent characteristics in book 1 were "i have an emotionally significant relationship to an absent parent" and "i want to commit imperialist atrocities SO bad"
#.txt#i think there is more let's say 'nuance' afforded to the latter such that kirionaification can b understood as a like. This is a bad+#+situation for her---this is a regression into a particular fantasy that eg. isaac/JM kind of began to disillusion#but---!! she really did want to do atrocities!#i don't know if she really understood what she wanted but she absolutely did want it!#nona the ninth spoilers

every day I wish for a Taylor Doesn't Turn Herself In AU simply so she can interact with Accord. I want Taylor "raised by an English professor" Hebert to bond with Accord over ruthless supervillainy for the greater good, the importance of public infrastructure, and respecting good old English grammar.
#I think Accord would afford her grudging respect#she's disorderly but he can generously attribute that to the Folly of Youth#she's got the spirit#he leaves with distaste for most of the Undersiders but a vague hope that The Kids Are Alright#taylor muses about the arrogance of imposing your idea of a perfect world upon others through conquest#this is of course covering the fact that her distrust for authority is screaming at her and she does not want Accord controlling HER#she then is like “gotta go! I have civilians questioning my absolute rule and black widows to put on their balls”#taylor hebert#self aware queen#worm#worm spoilers#skitter#accord#parahumans#wormblr
