Money advice from my mom, a person who has lived through dire poverty, homelessness, and has still managed to raise two kids to adulthood.

Overpay your bills when you can. Ideally try and pay them two months ahead. This gives you better credit, and, if you lose your job or can’t afford it next month it’s one less thing to worry about

Health food stores don’t cover their dumpsters in bleach the same way big stores do. They have more organic food, so the stuff that’s being thrown out is more likely to be moldy, but bags of corn chips and other snacks are more likely to have a longer shelf life

Food support is easier to come by than shelter support. Always put your money towards rent. You can go to the food bank or go by cafes for the pastry case leftovers. This does not exist for housing. Hold onto your house for as long as you can.

Protein is harder to come by than carbs. Food banks are usually full of processed carbs which are good filler foods. Spend the money you can on good protein sources like bags of beans and lentils. Vegetarian protein is cheaper, but keep an eye out for sales.

Go shopping at the end of the night. Cab prices are cheaper for big shops (or if you have a car, less money on idling at streetlights) and everything that’s going to be reduced is marked down at the end of the night. And, if you’ve got little kids there’s a lot less stimulation for them during the quiet hours.

Big bottles of white vinegar are good for cooking and cleaning. And, it’s cheaper than a lot of cleaning supplies.

You can turn the heat off and do a lot of baking in the winter months to save on heating costs, and you have delicious homemade snacks.

Libraries for cookbooks, gardening help, and somewhere fun to take the kids that doesn’t cost money

Happy Ghouls and Gangs DPxDC Bang event posting week!! Here's what I've been working on for the @dpxdcbigbang 🥰

Summary:

It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. He spends it taking care of the manor and watching over its inhabitants, just as he does every other day. It’s an exhausting, never-ending task, that he wouldn’t change for the world. But that night, he is confronted by a stranger in his rooms with a copy of every single soul-binding contract he’s signed for the protection of his family. The new Ghost King wants to update his terms and conditions.

Alfred POV, Ghost King Danny, with some Post-Vivisection goodness and only a little (a lot) of blood and gore and medical fun, but that's for later. Not for the squeamish, please check the tags!!

Snippet under the cut!

It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth.

He wakes up early enough to be ready to greet Master Duke with breakfast when he shambles into the kitchen, he cleans, he greets the rest of the manor’s residents when they finally make it downstairs, he cleans, he goes down to the cave to rouse Master Tim from another sleepless night, he cleans.

It’s a quiet day, or as much as one can be when the place he calls home is filled with vigilantes.

He drops off Masters Damian, Tim, and Duke at school and uses the rest of the trip to pick up some groceries for dinner. Coq au vin tonight, he thinks, it’ll be perfect for the changing of the seasons. A mushroom and lentil substitute for Master Damian will do lovely.

The rest of the day is spent preparing the meal and doing a spot of gardening before it’s time for the school run again. He can’t help but smile fondly as he listens to them needle and tease each other, only stepping in when it starts to become too pointed.

Yes, it’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. It’s at night when it all changes.

There’s a ghost waiting for him in his room.

A soft glow emanates from the creature’s vaguely transparent body and a crisp frost creeps slowly across the floor, sparkling in the darkness like diamonds.

“Mr. Pennyworth?” it says, the voice bouncing off the walls so that it sounds like hundreds of beings instead of one.

Fear squeezes at his heart and the air in the room turns dark and heavy, so that Alfred struggles to breathe. His mouth is dry, his head is swimming, and he’s not entirely sure if he’s going to survive the night.

#dpxdc #dpxdcbang2024 #ghost king danny #dpxdc crossover #dcxdp #there's also birthday celebrations and party games and presents!!!#and a clown!#(spoilers)#please enjoy!!! this has been in the works since like idk march or something and it was incredibly fun to write #with everyone - to be part of a bang for the first time #and HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS THE ART????#you are not prepared for the art to come #i'm keeping the artists a surprise for now but MY DUDES you are NOT PREPARED #because i certainly wasn't #oml they are so good holy shit wow #cannot oversell it enough #i'm super excited for all of it #genuinely really happy and also bricking myself at the same time #weirdly very anxious about this - moreso than normal posting at least #THANK YOU TO EVERYONE #the mods and the writers and the artists #you've all been wonderful #HAPPY BANG POSTING WEEK #AHAHAHHHHHHHH #i'm going to bed wherein which i will be too excited to sleep and i will simply roll around all night squirming haha #good night!

Fallen Empires - Chapter 4

Pairing: Geta x OFC

Summary: Having done the unthinkable to secure his throne, Emperor Geta rules with ruthlessness and paranoia. Now, after escaping an assassination attempt, a badly injured Geta is saved by Daphne, a young widow, who takes him back to her remote village without knowing his true identity. As Daphne nurses the former emperor back to health, attraction blooms between them, and Geta discovers a soft side he didn't know he possessed. But can their love survive his thirst for revenge and his desire to reclaim power?

Chapter warnings: none

Chapter word count: 2.5k

Prologue + Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3

Chapter 4

At last, Geta was deemed sufficiently recovered to leave the bedroom. His stitches came off, and though Daphne still plied him with bitter drinks and fortifying broths, she no longer put the smelly poultices on his wounds. She hadn't allowed him a full bath yet, but she had given him his privacy to wash and dress and had allowed him solid food. It was only simple fare like lentil stew and barley soup, but it tasted heavenly after a month of watery gruel. His illness must have changed his palate as well, for now he thought of the roast flamingos and lark's tongues and dormice of a Roman feast with disgust. Had he really eaten such things? This food was so much more nourishing and wholesome.

When he asked Daphne if the villagers would be suspicious that she was taking more food than usual, she only shrugged. "They always give me more than I need," she explained. "Usually I would store it and share it in the winter, but nobody will miss it."

Geta thought he would be glad to finally get back on his feet. But his month-long convalescence had left him weak and shaky, and when he looked at his reflection in the basin of water during his morning ablutions, he no longer recognized his own face. It was pale, as pale as it had been back in Rome, when he had been younger and had resorted to powder and rouge to make himself stand out. His cheeks and eyes had sunken, while his hair and beard had grown long, giving him a haggard look. Even his body had changed. When Daphne cut his stitches, he didn't dare look at himself. All the muscles, honed from hours at the gymnasium in Rome and days of marching on the road alongside his men, had vanished, leaving only protruding ribs and collarbones. It frightened him more than he cared to admit. How strange it was that when he was bedridden, all he could think of was to get better, to ride out and confront those who wanted him dead, yet now, when he was better, fear and doubt started to creep in. He could not face his enemies, whoever they were, in this frail and weakened condition.

The first thing he did, once he could walk around unassisted, was go outside to get a feel of the land. Daphne told him that the village—more like a hamlet, really—had been built by Greek shepherds hundreds of years ago, who had discovered some, if not fertile then at least peaceful, grazing land hidden amongst these formidable rocky peaks. Remembering the history lessons from his childhood, Geta guessed that it was the leftover of an old Greek settlement after Pompey remade the East, or perhaps its inhabitants were fleeing the collapse of the Seleucid Empire. Either way, it explained the strange accent and why the people here still considered themselves Greek, though they mixed and traded with the Syrians down in the Balikh Valley as well as the Kurd nomads of the plateau and the Parthians across the border. But Geta was less interested in the history of the place than in its capacity for secrecy and defense.

"Don't go too far, mind," Daphne said, as he stepped through the door.

Ignoring her, Geta stood at the door for a moment, looking around. The hut was situated on the summit of a tall, rocky hill, sheltered from the blistering sun by a sheer cliff in the back and by Daphne's namesake, a grove of laurel trees, around the sides. The front door opened into a little yard and overlooked yet more rocky hills surrounding the hut. No wonder he couldn't be found. The hills all looked the same, sandy brown crags that stood like sentinels, dotted here and there by clumps of scraggly pines. There were no signs of other inhabitants, save for the bleats of distant sheep, and no visible roads, save for a tiny footpath winding between two large boulders that led from the front door of the hut down the hill and into the valley.

Geta followed this path, stopping every minute to catch his breath. On his left, the path opened into a crevice amongst the rocks, where terraced garden rows lined the hill. Fruit trees, vegetables, and medicinal herbs grew valiantly despite the arid soil. Beehives stood between the trees, and occasionally a bee would buzz past him, bustling just like its mistress. Below the garden, a small cistern had been dug into the rocks to gather the meager rainfall.

The path continued its downward spiral around the hill. Here and there amongst the boulders, the scouring wind had driven in enough soil for shrubs and even trees to grow, and they clung to the rocks as tenaciously as the people of this place clung to their land. Through the boulders, Geta could catch glimpses of the valley below, a deep gorge with a stream of brown sludge meandering through it. Sounds of habitation drifted toward him—more sheep bleating, the rhythmic hammering of a blacksmith, a child's wail—but he saw no other soul on his descent.

Eventually, the path dwindled into little more than a crack between two rock faces, just wide enough for a man leading a donkey—not a horse—to pass through. A cleft in the rock served as a gate between the path and the valley beyond. Dangling from a hook over this cleft was the bell he'd heard, which was just a weathered piece of bronze with an iron rod next to it for sounding the alarm. Geta looked behind him. The hut was still visible, though only just, its mud-brick walls blending in with the hillside so perfectly that one couldn't even tell there was a dwelling there, unless one already knew where to look. It was the ideal hiding place.

Thus reassured, he made his way back up the slope. But he had been overconfident in his recovery, and the climb was much more difficult than the descent. He lost sight of the hut and was no longer sure if he was going the right way. Well, how hard could it be? He just had to go up, didn't he? But new boulders seemed to be shooting up in random places, blocking his way, forcing him to go left or right instead of in a straight line, and he didn't seem to be gaining ground at all. Soon he was crawling on his hands and knees, wheezing as though his lungs were about to burst. Sweat poured down his forehead and his back.

Just when he thought he would never make it back to the hut, hurried footsteps came toward him, and Daphne's capable hands helped him up. "Don't disappear like that," she chided. "You gave me such a fright. I thought you'd run away!"

"Only—wanted to—take—a walk," he tried to explain.

"You must take it easy," she said, helping him down a chair by the door of the hut. "Here. Rest. I'll bring you some wine."

She went inside. A moment later, Geta heard a small gasp and a clatter. He turned around to find Daphne scrambling to pick up a cup, which had fallen on the floor.

"Sorry, so clumsy of me," she stammered.

"Something the matter?" he asked.

"Nothing's the matter, everything is fine," she said, a little too quickly. She busied herself with the wine, mixing it with water before pouring a cup and handing it to him. It could be his imagination, but he thought her face was rather flushed, and she was avoiding his eyes. Geta's suspicion, which had been lying dormant since the night he'd witnessed Daphne save the pregnant woman, reared its head again.

"What's in this wine?" he asked, eyeing the cup.

Daphne saw his suspicious look. "Are you still on about that?" she said, rolling her eyes. "I've told you, I would not go to all this trouble only to poison you. Here"—she snatched the cup from him and took a large sip—"does that make you feel safer?"

Sheepishly, Geta took the wine back. Daphne was still glancing at him strangely from time to time, but he shrugged it off and focused on the more pressing matter, which was his recovery. "How long do you think before I'm strong enough to return to Edessa?" he asked.

"I don't know," she said. "You're strong, but you've lost a lot of blood, and your lungs are still in danger of getting inflamed. There's a town two days from here, Adala. There you may be able to get passage to Edessa, but if your fever returns while you're on the road, there's nothing I can do."

His stomach sank. He took a sip of wine and told himself to be patient. The gods had given him this second chance at life to strike down his foes, and he would not squander it.

Trying to discover his enemies got him nowhere, and so Geta turned to the one thing he knew—brute strength. Lacking a gymnasium, he exercised by walking and sparring with a stick against a tree trunk, and sometimes with the dagger as well. It was true that his resting time in between these exercises was often longer than the exercises themselves, but at least exercising had the virtue of tiring him out, so his sleep was longer and more restful, untroubled by ghosts and visions of Tartarus.

When Daphne went into the village, she still instructed him to stay in the bedroom as usual. The occasional villager would stop by to pick up a cure or leave their token of gratitude, and soon Geta learned their names and professions. There was Tatia the baker, who always wanted a cure for indigestion for her husband; Cyrus the weaver, an old man whose back was hunched from bending over the loom, who usually picked up a balm or ointment for his aching joints; Habib, who came by often for some fortifying tonics for his wife. There were also Khaleed the shepherd, Musa the shepherd, Apollonius the shepherd, Samira the shepherd's wife, and many others, as well as various children. They all had the same lean, sinewy look as Daphne's, the look of a people who had to scratch out a living on a near-barren land and conserve every drop of water they could find. Still, they looked harmless enough. It made Geta feel a little safer, though he still wore the dagger during the day and slept with it under his pillow.

If Daphne was home, he could walk around freely. She even put a bench in a corner of the hut, near the door, so he could sit down and rest whenever he wanted. Sitting there, he would amuse himself by watching the goats—a nanny goat, and her two kids—frolicking around, foraging for grass and edible leaves amongst the rocks, while the donkey stood placidly under the olive trees. He would watch Daphne as well, and now that he was getting better, her bustle and chatter no longer irritated him as they once had. If anything, he found them rather endearing, a welcoming distraction from his circuitous, muddled thoughts.

One afternoon, Geta was napping on this bench when he was awakened by annoyed bleating. Getting up, he saw Daphne just outside the door, holding one of the baby goats, the black one with a rather cheeky look, between her knees. She was struggling to wrap strips of old linen around the goat's budding horns, and the goat was having none of it. His brother, the snow-white one, was lying primly nearby, his horns already wrapped.

"What on Earth are you doing?" Geta asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" she said between two breaths. "I'm wrapping his horns." Taking advantage of her distraction, the goat bolted out of her lap. "Catch him!" Daphne shouted, running after the goat. It dodged between her arms and ran straight for the open door of the hut, toward the bench. Geta stuck out a leg. The goat tried to jump over him, but its own legs were still young and clumsy, and it went sprawling on the ground.

Chuckling, Geta scooped the goat up. Its fur was surprisingly soft, and it smelled, not unpleasantly, of dung, fresh grass, and warm milk. Once it realized escape was out of the question, it settled into his arms readily enough and immediately started chewing on the sleeve of his tunic, as was the wont of goats.

"Hold him like that," Daphne said.

Picking up the linen, she knelt in front of Geta and wrapped the goat's horns in quick, practiced movements. A new scent, faint but sweet, almost like orange blossoms, joined the animal smell of the goat. It took a moment for Geta to realize it was coming from Daphne. He had never noticed it before, even when she sat close to him to change his dressing, either because he had been too ill to notice anything, or because the strong vinegary smell of the dressing had overpowered it. He breathed in deeply, letting that fresh and flowery fragrance fill his tired lungs. His inhale causes Daphne to look up. Their eyes met, and Daphne's lashes—which were quite long, he'd only just noticed as well—fluttered for the briefest of moments, before she looked away.

"Why do you wrap their horns?" Geta asked, to fill the silence.

"So they don't hurt themselves or each other."

"They don't seem to like it," he pointed out.

"Too bad." She finished tying the ends of the linen strip. Geta let the goat go, and it ran back to its mother and brother. "Be good to each other now, you hear?" Daphne called after them.

A ghost whispered at the back of Geta's mind. Be good to each other. Those were his father's last words to him and his brother. It hadn't worked. It never would've worked. His father must have known that, and yet he had clung to that hope of the Empire under two rulers, until the day he died.

"It's no use," he said to Daphne, trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice. "Look, they're at each other's throat again already." Indeed, the two kids were running toward each other at full tilt, though their linen-wrapped horns glanced off harmlessly.

Daphne shrugged. "At least this way they won't get hurt," she said.

"Would you have soldiers fight with blunt swords then?" he scoffed. "Would you wrap them up in soft linen instead of armor, so they wouldn't get hurt? It's in their nature. You can't stop it."

Daphne looked at him curiously, and he realized he'd said too much. She studied him for a long time. Eventually, she replied, quietly, "I would, if I could." There was an infinite sadness in her eyes and her voice that he couldn't understand, and as he watched her go into the garden to gather vegetables for their evening meal, guilt pricked at his insides like tiny needles. He didn't know if he was feeling guilty about making her sad, or if it was simply his old guilt coming back to haunt him.

Chapter 5

I got the idea for Daphne to wrap the goats' horns from this delightful image of aggressive goats having to wear pool noodles to prevent them from injuring themselves and others. Knowing Daphne, she would no doubt come up with the Ancient Roman equivalent of that.

Septimius Severus's last words to his sons are (paraphrased) "Be good to each other, enrich the army, and scorn all the rest." Unfortunately, it seems Caracalla and Geta only paid attention to the last bit :((

This chapter is a bit shorter than usual, so the next update may come sooner. Stay tuned!

Full tweet:

🚨🚨 In the space of 2 weeks we’ve gone from a pilot project that involved my cousin making and distributing one pot of fortified stew a day to a fully fledged soup kitchen with 10 volunteers that feeds 160 families a day or roughly 800 hungry people daily, in Omdurman #Sudan

To do this we’ve cut out all possible overhead costs to ensure we can feed as many people as possible

🟢Our volunteers are unpaid

🟢Our cooking utensils are borrowed

🟢The kitchens storage rooms are donated free of charge

🟢Transport of food items from the market to the kitchen is free courtesy of my Cousin’s Tuk tuk.

🟢However, in order to maintain this kitchen beyond Ramadan we need you to support this Gofundme that is now fully funding this kitchen 🙏🏽

Id: there are two photos in the tweet. The first in the tweet are of a group of men and women. The second is of stacks of backs of lentils.

Since I'm vegan, incorporating elements of a canine ancestral diet into my lifestyle will be more about emulating the nutritional balance rather than the exact foods wolves consume. Wolves eat a mix of proteins, fats, and plant matter, with an emphasis on whole, nutrient-dense sources. Their diet is built for survival, strength, and endurance—qualities I can mirror through plant-based foods while maintaining my values.

### **Key Elements of a Wolf's Diet & Vegan Alternatives**

#### **1. High-Protein Intake**

Wolves thrive on a protein-rich diet, which fuels their muscles and sustains their energy for long periods. You can incorporate:

- **Legumes & Pulses** – Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and split peas

- **Soy-based Proteins** – Tofu, tempeh, and edamame

- **Seitan (Vital Wheat Gluten)** – A high-protein, meat-like option

- **Hemp & Chia Seeds** – Packed with complete proteins

- **Nutritional Yeast** – Adds protein and a cheesy flavor to dishes

#### **2. Balanced Fats for Energy & Brain Function**

Wolves get essential fatty acids from prey, but you can substitute with plant-based sources:

- **Omega-3s** – Flaxseeds, walnuts, algae-based supplements, hemp seeds

- **Healthy Fats** – Avocados, olives, coconut, and nuts

- **Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)** – Found in coconut oil, which can boost energy like animal fats do for wolves

#### **3. Micronutrients & Minerals from Wild Plants**

Wolves eat berries, grasses, and herbs instinctively to maintain their health. You can add these:

- **Berries** – Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries for antioxidants

- **Leafy Greens** – Kale, spinach, dandelion greens (high in calcium and iron)

- **Herbs & Wild Edibles** – Nettles, burdock root, and spirulina for detoxifying and nutrient density

#### **4. Gut Health & Digestion**

Wolves consume organ meats and bones for vitamins and minerals. A vegan version includes:

- **Fermented Foods** – Sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, and kombucha for gut health

- **Seaweed** – Rich in iodine and minerals, similar to nutrients found in animal organs

- **Mushrooms** – Reishi, lion’s mane, and chaga mimic the adaptogenic benefits of organ meats

#### **5. Cyclical Eating & Fasting**

Wolves don’t eat constantly; they gorge, fast, and graze on small plant foods. You might try:

- **Intermittent Fasting** – Eating within a set window (e.g., 8-hour feeding period)

- **Feast & Fast Cycle** – Some days with high intake, some days lighter with just fruits and greens

- **Instinctual Eating** – Listening to your body’s needs rather than forcing strict meal times

#### **6. Hydration & Natural Electrolytes**
