Computer Problems

If anyone heard the muffled sounds of violence that was me strangling my friends for telling me to do this.

And being logical and sensible about it how dare they!

Anyway so. I'm not sure who's actually aware of this? I don't think it's most people. But last year in February my computer got a huge crack down the middle of the screen, and the battery decided it wasn't going to be a proper battery anymore. Those of you who've been around for a while will remember that last year was incredibly difficult for me financially as the steady job I'd had for a couple years disappeared and other jobs I'd been promised dried up (ah, the joys of freelancing).

I now have an office job but it still couldn't fully cover bills until I got a raise which kicked in finally in March. I took on two extra jobs the last few months to try and take care of the debt I accrued last year trying to survive (and taking care of family members; I have been partially supporting a couple of them for the last 2-ish years).

I've put off taking my computer in to be fixed as long as possible. At first it was because until this office job my computer was my income, and I literally couldn't afford to have it out of commission for even a few days. Later it was because I simply did not have the money - my credit card was maxed out, etc - but it's been over a year and I can't see big chunks of the screen, and the battery is doing the equivalent of hacking up blood like a Victorian heroine about to die of consumption.

It's going to cost me $800 to get it fixed, and that's where this post comes in. I have a Ko-fi, and if anyone has anything to spare to help, that would be so deeply appreciated.

I know there is so much going on in the world and people who need financial assistance so much more than I do. Nobody owes me anything, and I feel terrible for even asking. But I've been informed there's no harm in asking, and so here I am.

Thank you for reading this long post, and my (as usual) long winded explanation. Any little bit helps, as does reblogging. I apologize for taking your time sharing this, and I hope everyone is staying safe and taking care of themselves.

Ko-fi

I also have a Patreon that's been on hiatus and I'll be returning to shortly.

when affluent white people talk about just picking up and leaving the usa for other countries that are ALSO going through a shift towards right wing politics and fascism it is so plainly clear to me what they actually want to do is live an apolitical life

Ravi and Albert's Guide to Fake Not-Dating

It would be so easy, and Ravi was not looking to get any more involved in the 118 A-shift nonsense than he already was. It was sort of an unspoken rule he’d made with himself. He always showed up to the off-duty events he was invited to, usually large parties or station-wide outings, but that was more than enough for him. Just hearing about the drama his coworkers dealt with was more exhausting than regularly running into burning buildings and he had no interest in deliberately adding himself to the inner circle of rom-com-level bullshit that seemed to curse a select few members of the 118. He wasn’t about to tempt fate by dating his coworker’s formerly-estranged younger brother.

So, knowing all of that, he really should say no.

Read it on AO3

~~*~~

Average Hanikkar shipper: Hey wouldn’t it be funny if Ravi, the guy who famously wants nothing to do with the A-shift’s bullshit, accidentally fell in love with Chim’s brother and is super mad about it? Haha such a funny crack ship and the actors are both hot, we are having a great time.

Me, dropping a 50k word fic in the Hanikkar tag with no warning: Hey so what if Albert was a person who was so terrified of failing at anything that mattered to him that he would rather quit than fight as hard as he could and discover it wasn’t enough and what if Ravi was a person who had spent his entire life fighting just for the right to be alive but he was so tired he didn’t have any fight left in him but then they meet and fall in love and learn what it means to have something worth fighting for because even if you do fail you know it was worth trying, it was worth the possibility, it was worth giving yourself the chance.

People who follow me for Newsies content: Saf what the fuck is this, where did it come from, and when are you gonna finish your mini-bang fic?

WAIT OKAY but consider andrew reciting kevin day x y/n fanfiction aloud to kevin whenever kevins being pissy.

LMAO Kevin’s like try watching the car in front of you then you don’t have to slam on the brakes and Andrew’s like you can go ahead keep those wandering green orbs to the backseat

Hey all, my queue was running out so I went to start working on clearing out my remaining asks and the first step of that was reading through them. A bunch of the asks will require me to discuss Chat Blanc, Ephemeral, and the season five final. Those are the episodes that have gotten me in trouble as of late so I've been really struggling to find the motivation to answer these asks, but I hate leaving asks unanswered especially when they're genuinely fun ones. After thinking about it long and hard, here's what we're going to do:

Since it's become abundantly clear that those are sensitive episodes for Adrien fans, I wrote up a long post where I tried to cover all of the nuance around why I hate Adrien's writing in those episodes that way I could have one master post to link to instead of having to go through all that nuance any time I want to talk about those episodes without updating someone. That post will post later today which is why I'm giving this update plus I figured it had been a few weeks and people were probably curious what was up.

I'll also be working to catch up on post responses since it looks like I got a bunch of those, which is always exciting! I love reading your comments and thoughts!

I'm tentatively turning asks back on today as a test to see how I feel about them, so feel free to ask away! If I decided to turn asks back off, I will still answer anything I got before then so long as it doesn't break any of my policies (be nice, no call-out posts, punch up not down, etc. etc.). Also note that - if asks do stay on long term - I'll probably start randomly turning either all asks off or just anon asks off whenever my queue gets overwhelming. I'll then turn them back on once it's down to manageable levels. If that's the strategy I go with, then I'll be sure to alert when they're going on and off so people know what's up!

Expect the queue to start up again this weekend as that's when I'll have time to write up some proper responses to my current asks assuming that today's post finally gets my brain to stop obsessing. It can be such a drama queen!!!

for a show about accepting class divides, i find it painfully ironic that ticket prices are as high as they are.
