I was thinking back to the post I made about ebooks being so much more accessible for so many people compared to paperbacks/hardbacks and the other thing I wanted to add is the vast, vast majority of the time, the author gets so much more profit comparatively for an ebook than a paperback/hardback.

That's not a problem for huge huge huge authors either way, but for small-time authors, or authors with small publishing houses, the difference in profits can sometimes be $2.00 or $3.00 per ebook sold vs. $0.50c or $1.00 per paperback. Really. You pay more, but the author gets a lot less.

In the case of indie authors like myself, ebooks give the highest returns always.

This isn't necessarily something most readers think about, but I have had readers assume that because the book format cost them more, that automatically means more goes to the author. In fact it's often the opposite. There are very few exceptions (university texts come to mind). But in the case of your run-of-the-mill indie fiction, if you genuinely want the most profit to go to the author, get the ebook.

someone (blocked immediately for total lack of reading comprehension) in my notes proclaiming they make jewellery with "real gemstones" in that they can't even get people to "pay the cost of the stones" on because that would be $200-300 and i have never read a bigger load of bullshit in my life

ma'am if your supplier is charging you two hundred fucking dollars for enough gemstones to make one piece of jewellery you are a victim of the biggest scam since ea nasir. you can go and buy fully made fine jewellery for less than that and deconstruct it.

Looker is a silly man. While I don't see him as a gambler, it's funny to think that he is not immune to the Game Corner. Which sure, it can be a sign that he's playing adult slots... But the fact that he's trying to get TMs means he's treating this place like an arcade rather than true gambling. So he has the money and time to spare (and perhaps knows which machine is a winner somehow)

I like to think that he ahem KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND table gambling. Not for the money, but for appearances and blending with the crowd and gaining info. He's also sneaky and prone to... Perfectly legal strategies.

But I also think he likes arcades too.

Because he's Looker.

Where do you think he got all that glitter paint from.

Thinking about how we know dan and phil (or at least phil) are considerate of their neighbors while filming in hotels. But in this last video dan was full on YELLING and phil said nothing. Meaning they are confident that they are far enough away from other people they can act out of pocket and not get yelled at.

Life isn't fair I wanna win at capitalism by accidentally creating an entertainment empire with my barely legally twink bf and then blow ££££ on extravagant holidays but Phil Lester got there first.

Whumpee is a royal offspring, taken hostage from the harbour by enemy marine troops as part of a peace treaty. From their loaded ship, the troops eye the harbour from a distance, in case an opportunity arises.

Imagine all the whump…

Whumpee is treated like a cabin boy, bending to the crew’s every whim

The ship is too far offshore that whumpee cannot possibly escape, despite being able to see their castle from the small hole in their closet

Whumpee choking and splashing on water as they’re tagged alongside the boat (for fun), leashed to the deck by coarse ropes

Being dragged out of the sea, water fluttering from whumpee’s eyelashes; they’re a shivering mess

Left collapsed on the deck until dawn. Whumpee blinks at the sky’s pink and orange hues through lidded eyes. Throw in a flying seagull or two to symbolise freedom

“Allies” (whumpee’s guardian, boss, team etc) anger the troops in some way, so they take it out on whumpee. e.g., The sleep-deprived whumpee notices the crew eyeing them weirdly while they’re serving breakfest. They hear rumours of “a turn of events”. Moments later, whumpee is called to the bridge of the ship where the captain awaits. They drag their trembling selves up and kneel before the captain for mercy and a time to explain their allies’ misconduct, but before they can utter a single “please”, the captain shoots their thigh.

Whumpee gasping with tears in their eyes as they bleed out in front of everybody. Another bang and scalding hot pain courses through their shoulder

Whumpee looks up at passing crew members with imploring eyes, but most look away. Some chuckle and even get a few kicks in

Later, whumpee is made to clean the puddle of blood they made. The crew laugh at how they stumble around and try to stand up by leaning on the mop

Dang, I almost forgot Ao3 bans any mention of monetizing your work (for obvious sensible and understandable reasons)-- Patreon will never be mentioned there, haha! XD Thanks to the people who reminded me before I went too far. In any case, you can follow me on Patreon for art tutorials, general art stuff, Les Mis stuff, and early Hobbit Comic pages :). But I will not bring it up on A03. I will be as silent as the grave.
