I have what you're looking for. High quality. Befitting a man of my tastes. I have a room over on Divisadero, not too far a walk.
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#iwtv amc#daniel molloy#louis de pointe du lac#danlou#iwtvedit#tvedit#dailyflicks#*#dont know if i can articulate my thoughts well#but something about how daniel at first is so closed off from louis when he sits down near him#doesnt really want to talk at first but starts opening up pretty quickly#then louis is buying him a drink and it's easier to talk. mostly what he wants to talk about is his journalism work#because its so important to him. but when louis starts getting too personal (i know what you're here for danny) he starts backing off again#maybe some combo of shame for how quickly he felt attracted to louis and the flirting and the diminutive louis uses#the bartender uses it when asking if hes got money tonight. hes used to exchanging sex for things he needs but cant afford#above all it's like a sharp reminder of what louis wants & what daniel wants too even before the offer of drugs#and he's trying to hold onto the denial and excuses. it was a good place to score he did what he had to#sex with men has to be in exchange for something he can't just want it on its own#the lie he tells himself about himself#also these tags are getting long but i think you can see the moment louis decides he might not just fuck and kill this guy right away lmao

SO YOU WANT TO GET HIRED IS NOW LIVE ON ITCHIO! :D
This thirty-page guide is specifically written to help you navigate the world of working-class jobs. In it, I break down what to put in your resume (even if you have no experience at all!), how to dress for the interview, how to play the very confusing and nonsensical world of the working-class interview, and what happens after you drag yourself out of the crucible of the interview on your hands and knees.
It's helpful! It's for those of us who want to know how to get hired for something as menial as a food runner! It's not that long, so you don't need to carve out several hours to in-depth research! It's got jokes — and Brian David Gilbert references!
Please reblog to help reach as many people as possible, because sometimes we all need a little help adulting, and I'm here to share what I know with you, no judgment.
(If you want to make sure I am not forced to be victim to website fees, you can always just send me $3 on Ca$h@pp/V3nm0 (deadtower) or P@yp@l (paypal.me/deadtower) and email me at [email protected] with your username/when you sent the money, and I can send you the PDF that way! Also, if you can't afford it, no worries! Just shoot me an email and I'll send it to you discounted to as low as $1, or for free, depending on your financial situation. I want everyone to have access to the resources they deserve. <3)
#writeblr#jobs#hiring#resources#hospitality#idk what tags to put lol these are my best guesses#but really and truly please reblog this if you can! it's the ONLY way it's gonna make it around#it's very cheap it's $3 or less if you can't afford the $3#and that was after asking a bunch of people what to price it at#oughhhh please. i come to you asking politely. i need this to be spread around#you never know who on your timeline is desperate for a guide like this#and i'm not gonna lie knowing tumblr's demographic it's a LOT of people

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason
side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.
and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.
#I had a longer post w more bullshit in it but ukw nobody's even gonna read THIS one. so.#dumb ass cunts seriously LMAO just the individualism of it all....#we're all just selectively forgetting that most people join the military straight out of high school / after failing to kickstart#their lives so they don't know shit yet and they are categorically not educated and don't have money#you NEED money and have been groomed by recruiters ALREADY into believing this is#The Best and Only to make a survivable amount of money without a college education-- bc they can't afford college btw#and they don't want to take on student debt either bc everyone already knows what a big fuckeroo that is#recruiters WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET YOU TO JOIN. they will KEEP CALLING YOU. they'll answer your questions#to make it sound like this is going to be a GREAT life decision. you can get all KINDS of jobs (true)#they love to say the thing about how only about 15% of the military will actually see combat in any way#they love to list all the jobs where you will literally just be working at an office or a pharmacy or in tech etc etc etc#the recruiters are offering housing healthcare steady pay and BONUSES if you sign on for longer.#so you let your guard down because you were so scared of the actual fighting. BECAUSE YOU'RE 18 IN THIS SCENARIO BTW.#you cunts will not meet anyone who hates the military as much as people who are NOW DONE working in the military#you don't know enough when they get you and then either you stay placated by the benefits or you scramble away as fast as possible#the number one military haters are people who know what goes on bc they already did it#source: I LIVE NEXT TO A MILITARY BASE LMAO PEOPLE HATE IT HERE!! they are NORMAL PEOPLE#I need you to get it into your head that the people committing atrocities in war were NORMAL when they joined#and that for every person in the military who's actively shedding blood there's 20 who do PAPERWORK#and they both are being put in the same category by you!! and they are BOTH being controlled by the same system!!#sergle.txt#I hate yall I really do.

Well here's an Art vs artist meme with some art from this year!
I don't think I've ever done one of these before, but I really like this jacket. It's a marlboro jacket but I don't smoke and I already feel bad telling people I don't have a light and that will be bad x100 when I'm literally wearing a cigarette jacket so I tried to cover the patch up with one I made. cause I really like this jacket
#most of my family smokes (which is why I don't) so no judgement but yeah I dont have any I can share.. I could carry a lighter for people ig#but damn. what a good jacket. you cant even see the whole thing and my cool red belt with it#anyways. I never share pictures of myself cause people often get weird but I really like clothes!#which famously go on a person#and this is popular meme so I think its a good way for me to like break the ice for myself#if I am gonna ever share clothes I make/collect#I go thrifting like. every so often. used to be about once a month but has been less frequent recently#cause I cant afford spending like $50 on pants or whatever so I just check regularly#and if I like anything EVER then I get it then#and then I just mend my clothes so I can use them as long as possible basically#cause I just can't wait til I need pants to go and find pants that I like#otherwise I'll either end up with something I dont like or something that was way too expensive!!!#shoes are the hardest cause my feet are deformed. which is so sad cause shoes are like. I love them so much...#anyways.#art vs artist#me#idk what to tag this whatever#bye#thats me thats my face#if anyone is weird I'm deleting the post

Hi y'all. I hope you all are well :)
Happy new year first of all. If you're still here with us, thank you. Thank you for getting through 2024, and thank you for being here. I hope 2025 will be kind to you 🫂
Second of all, I'm not sure if anyone is still here, but if there is someone: I'm sorry for disappearing so suddenly. Life really got in the way due to college, and I can't guarantee this next semester of college won't be very busy for me either. I've been trying to work on my personal life, and part of that was avoiding social media. I'd like to come back, but I'll be reducing the amount of time I spend on here.
If you'd like to know more about what else has happened to me, read on. If not, I wish you well, and I hope you'll still welcome me with open arms.
CW // TRANSPHOBIA, MENTAL HEALTH
If I can be vulnerable for a minute: things have gotten really bad for me last December. I came out to my mom, and it went so badly that I ran away for a little bit. I came back for personal reasons, but now I live with parents who refuse to acknowledge my identity and continue to refer to me with my deadname and AGAB. Moreover, I got triggered really badly at some point during the holidays, and it has led to me realizing I can't keep living like this. I need help.
Thankfully, my college provides mental health services, and from what I heard from other students, they're pretty good. They also provide tests which I definitely need. I can't keep living the undiagnosed lifestyle, y'all, I need to know what's going on with my brain shsldhskshs... I have some clues though. Nothing definitive yet, but I am pretty confident in my suspicions, and whether I'm right or wrong, I just want to figure out what's going on and manage it, start to heal and move on from the trauma I've endured both as a child and now.
I hope this update will suffice. I'm eternally grateful for my friends. They have kept me from absolutely losing it, and they have stuck with me at my worst moments. I love them so dearly, and if they are reading this: thank you :)💞
And to everyone else, thank you for taking the time to read. I'd love to know how y'all have been, so please let me know. I love you all. Please stay safe, and may life bring you the happiness you deserve 🫂
#update#mental health#chris p fried what?!#to the tag readers: hello :) I'll try to not talk too much in the tags and keep things in the actual post#but here's a little something for you: there's a possibility i may be plural o+<#i'm unsure but there's a chance i have partial did and i don't want to dismiss that. especially when there are voices in my head#sigh... oh also ocd. that's another thing i'm suspecting. specifically primarily obsessional ocd (aka pure o ocd)#gosh i really thought autism adhd depression and c/ptsd were the only things plaguing my brain and my life went “lol. lmao even.”#all of this is speculative. i'll update you once my initial tests come back and maybe i can afford an appointment to a psychiatrist.#i hope so anyway. that is all. thank you for reading again.

There are two wolves inside me. One wants to embrace a new hobby in dance so I can be active and feel elegant and graceful and strong. This wolf wants to try something new and exciting, finally indulging in something I've always had an interest in.
The other experiences such frustrating emotions on a near daily basis that I want to go back to boxing, which is arguably easier to break into since I've already done it before. This wolf doesn't think of elegance, she just wants to fuck shit up until her body's so overworked and warm it fogs up car windows without having to do anything but sit inside.
Which one do I fucking feed??
#t. lee woes#like. do you know how hard it is trying to start something new that you've never done at all ever before??#and you've got no mode of transport until december - and ONLY if things go well#and now you're contemplating ways to mkre regularly earn a bit of money to afford the classes since paying weekly means my income#would wind up like $9 a fortnight since $40 would be spent by the end of each fortnight#it wouldn't necessarily be stagnant but it's not a desirable position to be in#I still have stuff saved up in a jar but I'm always hesitant to dip into that stuff#originally it was going toward a violin and lessons for that but I'm putting it off in favour of something a bit easier to dedicate time to#boxing is easy. in fact I could get support from my fam for that cause they like it#they don't see the point in dancing but I really want to at least try it and I'm worried about affording each term if I do end up liking it#also I already have boxing gear from before#but I'm hesitant about boxing at the moment for a lot of reasons I can't quite articulate but weirdly might have something to do with#internalised misogyny and biases... which is WILD cause my dad supports women learning martial arts#I can't do karate though I tried that and the class drove me a little insane#and it doesn't push you the same way boxing does and I really like to be pushed#if I don't leave sweating and hot and lungs and muscles aching then what's the point?? I can do mediocre exercise at home#and find more intense martial arts classes that also teach other kinds of self-defense#it's like... ehhhh#anyway but also I want to do something that's for fun that isn't so Serious Fight Mode#hence dancing#but I can only afford one not both and basically I'm grumpy today cause I was gonna trial a dance class - got ready and everything - but#my ride was suddenly unavailable. and I still can't stomach public transport. nor am I good at navigating it#it feels so different here compared to where I used to live - and I knew trains better not buses

#mdzs#jiang cheng#lan xichen#xicheng#tagging just to be safe#ngl this is kind of high pressure bc from what i can tell xicheng is the most popular jc ship. appeal of even more BIL drama maybe?#so. i don't want to piss off anyone haha. here's hoping#ngl if i were jc during the timeskip i would mainly be annoyed about lwj. why is this asshole being openly rude to me.#why are you as his brother not telling him to cut it out?? do you not care about the political consequences??#or is it that. your sect is so strong that you can afford to not care. you can afford to let your brother run around and do what he wants#because you're strong enough to protect your brother. unlike me. unlike me when it really mattered.#is that what's going on.#if it were me i'd be at least a bit salty ngl#god also now that i think about it. lxc really does have the same sort of calm temperament and tendency to try to smooth things over#as jiang fengmian. meanwhile everyone says jiang cheng is the same as yu ziyuan#uh oh!!! mommy and daddy issues triggered!!!!#anyways i wonder if tagging this with xicheng is going to skew the results? oh well it's whatever#yanyan polls

Whether algorithmically created (like tiktok, youtube, instagram, etc) or manufactured manually (like tumblr or 4chan), the inescapable nature of online echo chambers and their consequences terrifies and depresses me
#Often think about my old colleague who was the sweetest guy but pipelined into alt right ideologies through podcasts and tiktok#He once showed me a “fun fact” about there existing a soup in china made from infants and it appears he actually genuinely believed it to b#true#took one search to find out that it's a picture made by some contemporary artist and of course it wasn't real#but that's one of many things his algorithm threw at him and with enough bullshit you're not gonna fact check every single thing#Tumblr is also far from innocent tbh#people in here will start a bullying campaign of minors if they draw a fat character not fat enough or something like this and are often to#deep into tumblr thinking to consider that maybe this shit is also wild as fuck#I'm chronically online myself and I'm genuinely terrified of what kind of shit I casually utter in my daily interactions unaware of how#indoctrinated I had become in some type of specific echo chamber way#And what is it you can even do to avoid it#be chronically offline — yeah that sounds like a tangible possibility#except in today's reality you literally cannot do that as it'll just alienate you both online and offline because we don't live in a vacuum#And you quite literally can't afford to be illiterate about what's happening online for many reasons#I really need to delete this blog god fucking damn it I don't know how else to stop using it

i've been offline for a bit owing to injuring part of my sternum and simultaneously dealing with mobile tumbr shitting itself so i can't check anything without being on pc
but i have been loaned a computer chair that lets me lean back and take pressure off the sternum so i can spend more time on the hellsite yay
#stirring up trouble#though honestly i think i might try getting back into drawing. i got to borrow one of those tablets that let you draw onscreen recently#like. some kinda self-contained giant smartphone deal. like an ipad but not apple. and even though i don't like using it v much it IS nice#to be able to draw in bed... so that's something that's got me looking at tablets i can't afford lmfao#really into the idea of a supernote since a) non-wearing ceramic pen nib + b) it's not backlit and that'd be great for my eyes. ah well.#ANYWAY yay yippee i can see what my friends in the intertubes are up to again wahoo joy of joys#also i can refill my queue since it seems to have basically emptied

How does Silco take Viktor's choice to formula feed rather than nurse Naph?
So you know those previous posts about how Silco and Viktor can argue a lot?
Okay I don't think it gets that bad but I do think Silco is of the position that Viktor could have tried a bit harder before going the formula route. Because Viktor tried exactly once when Naph was very newly born it didn't work and went "oh well, Jayce go get the formula out." And that was that. But the whole final months of the pregnancy was spent with every doctor and nurse making comments about how with his health Viktor it would be unlikely Viktor would produce enough if he did at all, and Silco knows his son, so it's not exactly a surprise for him that's where it ended up.
Viktor very much doesn't care what Silco thinks because it is convenient for him and Jayce for Naph to be formula fed and they are independently wealthy because of Hextech, they don't need to worry about saving the money. It's not worth the stress of trying to get Viktor's body to produce when there's a convenient perfectly fine alternative available.
#Arcane#Zaun Family#Arcane mpreg#mpreg#Silco Arcane#Viktor Arcane#breastfeeding#Ramblings of the Goddess#Q and A with the Goddess#Anon question#Neither of them are wrong in their perspectives either#when you consider their backgrounds and current positions#because in Zaun you would put the effort in to breastfeed#to the best of your abilities#formula expensive possible inaccessible#or what is accessible of lower quality than whats available in Piltover#so it's not a route you take unless absolutely necessary#But Viktor and Jayce have Hextech money#and breastfeeding continues to take nutrients from the body#so why keep draining Viktor when they can afford formula?#And also means Viktor isn't milk leashed to Naph#but can share the caring responsibilities with Jayce#and the grandparents more#without having to always be close enough for the next feed#If he's having trouble nursing at all he'd probably struggle to pump#so that's not really a viable solution#And as the mantra goes#Breast is best but fed is better

I like making the Saint a weird little guy.
Their colony is like “oh there goes Vegan Dave. Veganism made them go crazy, poor thing. They’re harmless though.” And the Saint is out here discovering the secrets of the universe and becoming a nuke.
#rain world#rw saint#being vegan in the Saint timeline is kind of a death wish#food is getting more and more scarce#so you can’t really afford to turn down what you can get#but no Vegan Dave is like ‘I don’t eat meat’#Shen’s headcanons

#went in the other day to my laundry and there were like these people just standing around in there and when i came in they were like omg#you’re just in time it’s free wash night!!!! and i was like oh because i forgot that the local emergency assistance place does free wash#nights there but i well and truly can afford my load of laundry so i felt bad and i tried to tell them this but they did not listen and it#wasn’t like there was a line of people waiting for free wash so it was like fine but then they left before my wash cycle was done and i was#like now wait a minute what about my free dry#<- KIDDING i did not care but it was funny#anyways mat life has changed me like fundamentally as a person#fully aware that some city people will read thsi post and be like what are you even talking about like everyone experiences laundromat to#some extent or another and herein lies a cultural divide because i like in alabama and laundromats are not really the norm i feel like even#in our metro areas lol because i work in a metro area and i’ll mention going to the laundromat at work and people are like whatttttttt you#don’t have on-site ?????? and i’m like no i don’t have onsite but my rent is $765 a month including utilities so i can simply cope for rent#that is that cheap like local laundromat will have my business forever if that’s all i have to pay for rent

Those Pleasing totes Harry was carrying biking around Rome are $175. Thats luxury prices. I didn't think they would be that high.
I mean, that’s not a luxury price. I get that it’s not an affordable price for a lot of people, but it’s $175 isn’t considered luxury. I haven’t seen them in person, but it seems about right for a structured bag in the market they’re trying to compete in.
This isn’t merch. It’s a collection of clothing and accessories that are meant to hang alongside similarly priced brands. As long as they’re made and designed accordingly, it’s an appropriate price point.
#pleasing#it’s really ok if it’s more than you personally want to pay#Not everything he creates is going to be something everyone can afford#I was never going to spend the money for the HA HA HA pieces#but I appreciated them for what they were
