#Homelessness Day

"How come there's no multi-war chess?"

Tim looked up at the entity that had been haunting him for the past few weeks now, "What does that even mean?"

"You know how chess is basically a game about two kingdoms going to war with eachother?" The being asked, his white gloves gesturing about lazily, "well wouldn't it make sense for chess competitions to make the players go into the next round with only the pieces that "survived" the last war? It would be more interesting."

Danny smirked as he watched Mr. Drakes mind whirring at all the new strategies and potential. Comforted in the knowledge that Mr. Drake wasn't going to get much paperwork done tonight, let alone have time to work on his project for the competition, Danny let himself vanish from the other boys office.

All he needed to do was keep distracting Tim from the competition and that prize was all Tuckers.

He just prayed Sam didn't find out he was doing this or that he was getting chased around by bats every other night or else she'd kill him the rest of the way

the thing about people experiencing addiction or mental health issues, especially living on the street, is that, like. They usually aren't dangerous.

Like yeah, seeing someone moving erratically or screaming or saying weird stuff can be scary if you haven't seen it before, but "scary" isn't always dangerous

This post is about the guy rolling on the ground at my local park.

He's rolling on the ground and he's picking up trash to put in the garbage can and we do not need to call police about it

i keep thinking of chuuya who has. major food insecurity that arises from when he was seven to being in the sheep. like becoming a part of the mafia must have meant such a drastic change in living circumstances, and even though now he has money and a better quality of life, a part of him still acts like he’s living in scarcity.

this leads to a lot of arguments with dazai i think, mainly around how much dazai wastes food. they’re on an overnight mission and chuuya orders takeout and dazai forgets to eat it and chuuya gets mad because you don’t just waste food like that and dazai is mad because he didn’t ask for the food in the first place so chuuya has no right to be angry with him, but chuuya can’t fathom having someone in his care around him going hungry for no reason. and he doesn’t know how to articulate it and and he’s just standing there, shaking and fists so tightly clenched, and dazai realises the anger was never directed at him, and chuuya begs asks, in a small voice, for dazai to just eat the damn food, so dazai does.

hi Sorry haven’t updated in so long lol life has been busy and a load of big changes took place

Hi! I'm going to be taking $10 emergency commissions. They will be icons and look like this: (pictures below). I take PayPal only. It's $10 for flat color (no shading, like the girl with hearts and all pink.) And $20 for shading and lighting along with color. (Like the girl with dark hair and pink clothing!)

The emergency is I have to move and don't have quite enough to move into an apartment just yet and I'm not sure if I'll get the paycheck I need from my job before I have to be out of the place I'm in now.

Anything is appreciated. My PayPal is @iriCAPIRI and I can only take that form of payment as cash app has royally screwed me over and refuses to fix itself. I might eventually also make a Ko-Fi which would definitely help with done light donations if anyone wanted to try that. I would also doodle/draw something for you too if you did donate anything on Ko-Fi!

Thank you! 💗💗💗

So I made a GoFundMe....

I really really don't like asking for help normally, nor do I enjoy having to make something like this in the first place, but ongod I don't think I have many options IRL at the moment. I'm a funny little autistic transman named Vergil, also known as MoonstoneCanyon here and on Twitter, and PoisonPikeKing on AO3. I make funny little Megaman things and sometimes Sonic art too.

But also I've been struggling with homelessness IRL for a few months now. I am currently looking for a new job and new career ATM as well as any kind of affordable apartment in central New Jersey at the moment. Thankfully I have a car that I can live out of as a last resort, but... I'd much rather be able to live someone under a roof instead. I've set the goal to $1500 so that I can afford any possible security deposit as well as any first month's rent while I am unemployed for the time being.

If any of you are able to spread this GFM link around, or donate any to this, I really, sincerely appreciate this. Thank you as well for reading this far.

That's one way to find you the children you helped that disappeared for months are still alive ig. Welcome to fatherhood

Bonus:

Idk how canon it all is yet but the idea of having two robot dads on the run being pulled by their new children to this random man's doorstep is rlly funny to me

Are you safe?

yah 👍 tl;dr our NOW-ex landlord harassed us for 7 months after trying and failing to run a rental scam. We had an eviction hearing this morning and literally 5 minutes after leaving the courthouse our now-CURRENT landlord sent us a lease to sign and agreed to let us move in this weekend. So yeah a lot of shit happened but 👍

every time i reread lackadaisy i become stronger about my conviction that fans are WAY too harsh on mitzi and misunderstand her completely. you go online and see people treating her like satan incarnate when she’s genuinely just a person who’s grieving and lost. her and mordecai are two sides of the same coin and it’s crazy that people are kinder to him ( when he kills people, brutally, all the time and without remorse ) but never to her … like the things i’ve seen people accuse her of is baffling enough to make me wonder if i’m genuinely misreading the text tbh. even her character sheet on the lackadaisy website says this :

cannot stress enough everything we’ve seen from mitzi and know about her, both in the past and present, proves she was a tender hearted sort of person. she is not ruthless or cruel naturally, and has to continuously decide to commit to the harsh edges she’s desperately trying to wear. she’s selfish, yes, and does have her own myriad of flaws -- but she’s hardly some manipulative mastermind with no warmth in her heart. and knowing this makes her arc and her scenes ache all the more for it tbh

[aropride]

i do not trust people who shop at shein i'm sorry like there's no excuse for it. i can understand amazon, i can understand a lot of fast fashion, but shein is uniquely awful. and their clothes fall apart in a week so you can't even keep them and mend them. "but i'm poor" okay and you don't need to buy from shein about it. "they sell shirts for $3" so does michael's check ur local craft store and make a design urself if u want. you cannot seriously tell me that you had no other option other than shein

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

fucking bullshit how when a member of the working class isn't thriving in a system meant to exploit them it's somehow their fucking fault because one way or another they've somehow Done Something Wrong.

"you should have asked for more hours" what if you're working all you fucking can while still being able to stay awake on the job. which we shouldn't have to fucking do.

"you shouldn't have spent too much on things you don't need" you should be able to spend on one or two nice fucking things without being broke

"you should get store brand instead of name brand" getting the store brand of everything still amounts to hundreds of fucking dollars for a week's worth of groceries

"you should have listened to the financial advice you got as a teenager" we did. we fucking did.

"you shouldn't have spent so much in loans" we did so we could get those Good Jobs You Need Degrees For like you fucking told us to

"you should have gotten a better degree" I shouldn't fucking need one to have a job that I can live off of

"you should have started working sooner so you could have saved up" not every teenager has parents that will fucking let them work and even then you should not have to work on top of school as a fucking child

"you should have listened to this financial coach" I am not fucking poor because I didn't listen to some grifter trying to sell me a fucking "course" that I can't afford. I fucking promise you that.

"you should have" "you should" "you shouldn't have" "you shouldn't" you should maybe fucking consider that this is bullshit. jumping through these hoops is bullshit. trying to do everything you were advised to just to still end up in shitty circumstances is bullshit. trying to prove you've made all the choices you were told were the right ones just to try to get people to believe your struggling isn't your fault is bullshit. still being told it's your fault because you didn't do this Secret Financial Life Hack or whatever is bullshit. it's all bullshit.

Help with Urgent Landlord Bullshit

GOAL: $1000 https://ko-fi.com/rapossum

I know we're all hurting for money right now but this is really urgent.

The building where I and my friend Jay live just got sold off and is under new management. For reasons too convoluted to get into here, Jay will now be losing the assistance they used to get for their rent, which was around $1000 per month.

This is obviously REALLY bad and I dont expect anyone to be able to just give us that kind of money indefinitely, but we need to buy time to work out a more sustainable plan, a new job, new rental assistance, *anything*. If we meet this goal for September, it will allow us at least one more month to figure out something permanent.

Donate directly to Jay here: https://ko-fi.com/rapossum

CURRENTLY RAISED: $0 / $1000

Bridgerton is so funny like these people are constantly just fucking anytime they can get but also playing 5D social chess with all these other rich people. Also thanks netflix for spoiling who Whistledown is in the s3 previews lol but it does make the show 8 times funnier i think

[yonemurishiroku]

In BotL, when Nico summoned the ghosts with Happy Meals and a Wal-Mart's twelve-pack of Coke. In his visions, Percy saw a large Wal-Mart bag and a white paper bag decorated with cartoons, which is obviously the Happy Meal.

What does it mean? It means that Nico bought them, instead of stealing them.

Because obviously, you cannot have the bags if you just grab stuff and shadow travel out of the store where the cameras can't catch you and neither the owner. I cannot talk about the clothes because I have no proof, but at least, this is logical.

So. Elevel-year-old Nico bought food and drinks, what's there to ask?

Well. Where, exactly, did he get the money?

Because he was a literal homeless kid at that point, running away from Camp, his father preferred his sister over him, his sister was dead, his mother died before her. He's a child with no guardian - unless you count Minos, whom I do not - and afaik, Nico did not bring any bag or the sort with him when he snapped at Percy and ran away.

So where did he get the money to buy stuff? Nico, tell me---

My explanation is that right before Percy arrived with the bad news, Nico had been playing poker with the Stolls brothers and won. A lot. And kept it in his pockets. This brings a whole new light to Nico and the Stolls' friendship but we're not talking about that here.
