My problems with this:
My minimum monthly expenses are 1,500-1,800 (I'm in Australia so if you're in the US or UK & are wondering ??? It's different here). So 3 months is $4,500-5,400. I'm disabled so i can only work part time and right now I'm on minimum wage. My wages are about $1,800-2,000 a month and before you suggest getting more hours or getting a side hussle: I am Disabled, I am working literally as much as I can, I am actually already working more than I should be and im in severe burnout so a lot of money saving tricks like "bringing food from home" is actually out of my ability right now. If u think im being lazy, I pray you never have chronic illnesses. I can usually get about $300 saved before I need to use it for something and I often have less than $10 in my account come pay day. Saving up $1K is unrealistic for me let alone $5K.
I literally only have my student debt, which is different in Aus than in the US. I am so poor I don't even qualify for a credit card or a loan and I'll never be able to pay off one if I got it.
Again, I can't save more than like $500 before I need it for an emergency. And you want me to save $10K+??? I barely made $30K last year and I have no savings
Again: no savings. I have no savings. I can't put money into a savings account if I have no savings. Also most savings accounts I've looked at in Aus have penalties if you remove money early
Investing??? Investing???? I can't even invest in things that make me happy and make life worth living like going to the fuckin cinema and you want me to invest??? I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY!!!
Again: I HAVE $0.00 TO SPARE
This list is so incredibly dismissive and put of touch with what people in poverty are experiencing. And I wouldn't even say I was "in dire need" I'm just "poor". You're like "Oh you know how you have your wages and then you have your spare wages and then you have your extra money?" Like ???? I barely have my wages???
For reference: minimum wage is $25AUD, which is $16.26USD, ÂŁ12.97UK.
My rent is $700 a month, I pay $150 a month just to get to work on public transport.
Before you say "well don't have any subscriptions" I have 1, it's $10, it's for Dropout, it is my one thing that keeps me going tbh.
With all due respect: fuck off
Generally speaking, here are the order of financial priorities:
Build an emergency savings of at least 3 months worth of living expenses
Pay down all high-interest debts, such as credit card debts
Build an emergency savings of 6 months - year worth of expenses.
Place some of your savings in a high-yield savings account (or money market fund) that you can still access easily without penalty if you need that money.
Start considering investing in something that yields a higher rate of return, but requires that you let money just *sit* in that investment for months or years at a time (CDs/bonds/index funds/a 401k [which is really just a type of index fund usually]).
Learn how to let your investments just sit without constantly looking at them or worrying about them! This is a skill that requires time, practice, and sometimes research to develop.
As your circumstances change and your familiarity and comfort with investing grows, tweak your exact investment strategy as needed. (For example, shift some money from index funds to bonds as you get older, or move CD investments to stocks as interest rates go down).

HABITS TO DROP WHEN GETTING YOUR LIFE TOGETHER
â CREATING UNAUTHENTIC & UNINTENTIONAL GOALS
the biggest mistakes you can make when creating goals is making goals that arenât true to you and making goals for the sake of making goals.
it can be so exciting when you decide to get your life together. I mean, of course it is! there are so many possibilities! but when you start planning, donât just write down the goals you see circulating on social media. what works for someone else may not be what works for you. donât make your goals and habits based on whatâs trending or popular in the self improvement community.
think about what you actually need for a minute. what is actually necessary? your goals and habits arenât here to be glamorous, theyâre here to help regardless of how simple or small they are. the point of thinking up new habits is to improve your life, so be intentional with your goals. what will practicing this habit or achieving this goal give you?
when youâre first starting out, your goals donât have to be anything too crazy or intense. for example, letâs say you want to become a pink pilates girl and get into fitness. you shouldnât jump right into it and say your goal is to work out for 2 hours 5 times a week. letâs consider some factors first. have you been living a completely sedentary kind of lifestyle? then try looking for exercises thatâll wake up dormant muscles. your goal should then be to repeat those exercises for how ever many times a week. then youâll work your way up from there. (itâs important we donât harm the body, so be mindful with your fitness goals.) what about your schedule? how much time can you actually give to working out? can your body even endure working out for that long?
anyways, hopefully you see what I mean. when creating goals, itâs not about having the âaestheticâ habits and goals that you may see on tiktok or tumblr. itâs about doing what is actually good for you and whatâll help you the most with where you are now in your journey. so please put some thought into your goals and where theyâll take you. creating unauthentic and unintentional habits will also mean youâll be less likely to keep practicing them after a few times. at the end of the day, that doesnât help you achieve anything and youâre left with a broken promise youâve made to yourself. which leads me to my next pointâŠ
â NOT KEEPING YOUR WORD WHEN IT COMES TO YOU
let me start off by saying thisâ if you donât even listen to yourself, why should anyone else? (harsh, ik)
a HUGE reason as to why people have no self confidence is because they donât listen to themselves or keep the promises theyâve made to themselves. if you have no self trust, how could you have any self confidence?
now, building discipline can definitely be a challenge so if you want to start somewhere easy, nip your false promises in the bud and stop yourself from making them. thatâs what I did when I was first trying to stop this habit. when my addiction to tiktok was at its peak I would always tell myself the usual âten more minutes and then Iâll stop scrolling.â when I wanted to stop making false promises, I knew I had no control or discipline so the only thing I could do is be real with myself. Iâd cut myself off when I heard myself say âfive more minutesâ because I knew it wasnât going to happen. if I wasnât going to quit my bad habit, then the least I could do is be honest with myself.
the things that you are constantly telling yourself, whether theyâre mindless or intentional, matter.
so, stop telling yourself seemingly harmless lies. unnecessary false promises that you know are false will only fill you with tension.
â SEEING FAILURE AS AN INVITATION TO GIVE UP
this applies to so many things.
you wanted to be consistent with your reading goals but havenât read a chapter in a week? dont give up. donât tell yourself that being consistent is too hard for you, that since you missed a week this habit isnât for you. make your goal a bit easier or give yourself another chance.
you wanted to spend more time doing art but itâs not turning out how you expected? dont give up. dont give yourself the title of a âbad artistâ and never pick up a pencil again. move forward, give yourself another chance.
you wanted to quit your Instagram addiction but after a couple days you went back to scrolling for hours on ig reels? Donât give up. dont tell yourself that this addiction isnât gonna go away, donât go back to the bad habit because you slipped up. give yourself another chance.
I think a lot of us (myself included) tend to give up at the first sign of failure, instead of reminding ourselves to keep going. itâd be wonderful if you could get it right on the first try. if you could read ten books a month right away after not reading a book in three years. if you could watch hours worth of tutorials and sketch the perfect portrait on the first attempt. if you could uninstall instagram for good and never feel the urge to go back. that would all be so amazing, but itâs not always the reality. expect the best from yourself and do the best you can, but also give yourself some compassion. keep in mind that you wonât always do things perfectly right away and thatâs one thousand percent okay. when you feel yourself slipping up on your brand new goal, donât end it there at the first failure. allow yourself to move forward, because the only other direction to move is backwards.

2. Putting it into gear
Cheerleader!Megan x Loser Band Member!Reader
A/N Not proof read lol so it might have some weird wording and shit.
The late May air is starting to feel slightly humid and hot as it usually does by this time, Megan's waiting outside. Leaning on the side of the school fence looking effortlessly beautiful as she does.
âHeyâ you greet her, âWhat did you need to talk about?â She looks up from her phone, then looks around behind you to see if people are watching.
âLook, I owe you an apology and-âÂ
âThat's an understatement.â You cut her off. âTwo years of ignoring me should get me something better than an apologyâ
âJust hear me outâÂ
She looks you in the eyes, Her pupils glistening with the caramelised apple colour it's always been.
âPlease,âÂ
âFineâ You cross your arms in anticipation âYou gonna tell me or what?â
âI need to fake date you, for friendship reasons I guess.â Obviously that stuns you, A girl you had a crush on for the past ten years of your life is suddenly asking you to fake date her.Â
âWhat?â Your face contorts in a mix of surprise and confusion âWhy me?â
âYou're the only gay person I know, Iâm trying to come out to them and they won't believe me till I date someone who fits their âGayâ visionâ She sighs, her face portrays her obviously conflicted emotions. âLook its okay if you won't do it, You don't owe me anything especially since i abandoned you but at least sleep on it for me.â
She pauses, trying to read your face, noticing the slight differences in your eyes.
âI also needed to say sorry, I wasn't there when I promised I would be.âÂ
âI wont accept your apology for now, you need to earn my trust back, Megan.â
 You sigh at the dilemma, do you chose to help her with her fake dating thing, or do you leave her behind.Â
âIâll help you under one condition, We will stay friends afterwards.âÂ
You expect her to say no, the wavering tone in your voice saying so.
âThank you so much, seriously I appreciate this. I owe you, N/nâ She hugs you, Her scent lingering of fresh citrus and light berries. Her arms wrap around your waist, you instinctively wrap your arms around her shoulders.
âWe need to figure out a plan for this whole situation.â You comment as you two break the hug, still feeling the lingering warmth of her.Â
âAre you free this week to meet up?âÂ
âTuesdays and Thursdays I meet up with my band, any other day we can meet up after school.â
âHow about wednesday? I have practice, can you come watch and we can go somewhere after?â The thought of her friends seeing you makes your skin crawl as your reputation with these âPopularâ people is not exactly great. Considering that you and Lara are the ones who stand up to Greg when he feels the need to degrade Yoonchae. You may or may not have gotten into some physical altercations with said Greg.Â
âSure, Itâll sell the idea that we are dating a bit more,â Itâs a trade off that is worth it to make Megan happy. You shrug just as her phone rings, Her ringtone was not the same as the one you had remembered her to have. It had been her favourite song, Perfect Lover by Britney Spears. But now it's one of those default ones, Removing some of the personality from her.
âYeah?"
"Oh, Okay."
"Iâll see you soon, Mom. Love you byeâ
You can vaguely hear her moms voice throughout the quick phone call, her familiar tone isn't something you can forget easily.Â
âYou gotta go I assume?â you pick at your nails, âI can walk you home if you want?â You look up to her, trying to gauge her reaction through her body language. âUnless you dont want me to.. You know what forget i even said-â
âNO!â She suddenly cuts you off mid sentence âI mean, Noâ She clears her throat repeating her affirmation in a softer tone, âitâd be nice for my mom to see you again, She used to ask me about you all the time.â She presses her lips into a line, her face covered with embarrassment.Â
âLead the way,â You slightly smile at the thought that her mom still wondered where you had been all this time, She starts walking in the direction of her house. Making small talk to catch up on each others lives during the two years of absence, Your hands brushing together as you walk on the pavement.
âI missed you, you know that right?â
The smallness in her voice juxtaposes her usually large demeanour.
âI hoped you did,â
You chuckle slightly,
âI missed you too.â
âThis is me,â she stops in front of the house you used to know, âYou wanna stay for dinner? I mean you don't have to or anything.â
âSure, Itâll be nice to say hi to your mom.â She leads you into her house, The recognisable scent of her moms cooking wafting into your nostrils. Filling your senses with memories of years prior. âDo we have to fake date in front of your mom aswell?â You tease her, Slipping off your shoes.
âYeah, I guess so..â She replies nervously, just as her Mom wraps around the corner from the kitchen. âHey, I brought home a special someone.âÂ
âOh my gosh, YN! I didn't realise you were coming tonight for dinner.â She embraces you in a warm hug. âFeels like I haven't seen you in forever.â She lightly jabs at Megan with her elbow.Â
âJust been busy with school work and college applications, you know how it is.â You lightly giggle at Meganâs momâs actions. âGlad to see you Mrs. Skiendielâ
âOh please, Yn. You know not to call me that, Just aunty is okay.âÂ
-
âWow aunty, this is seriously delicious.â You moan as you wolf down the rice and pork on your plate. âI'm grateful that your cooking skills haven't deteriorated in the period I haven't seen youâ You say in between bites.
âIm happy you like it, feel free to come over and eat when you want to, Honeyâ She chuckles
âUhm Mom, We have something to talk about with you.â Meganâs words shift the energy at the table. You swallow your latest bite and glance at Megan, Giving her a reassuring look.Â
âYou guys are dating? I know, it's not that much of a shock.â Aunty takes the words out of Megan's mouth, âI've been patiently waiting when you two would realise your feelings for eachother. I have a standing bet with your mom, Yn.â She matter-a-factly comments,
âNo funny business in my house alright?âÂ
âYes aunty, I don't plan on doing anything with Megan till she's ready. Don't worryâ
You try to clear the air quickly, Megan grabs your hand on the table. Interlocking her fingers with your ring clad ones, The slightly cold metal meeting her warm skin. The embarrassment of your words settling in with the two of you.
âI wouldn't dare hurt Megan, I hope you know that aunty.â You stupidly grin at her.
âI know, Yn. Just double checking, I know how you teenagers can be.â She lets out a deep sigh of relaxation. âI have some work to do. all I need you guys to do is the dishes, can you two handle that?â She squints her eyes at us,Â
âYeah, dont worry about it, Mom.â Megan stands and starts clearing the plates from the table, You follow her actions grabbing plates and silverware and bringing them to the sink in the kitchen.Â
âIâll be in the office working if you need me, Good night you two.â Meganâs Mom announces before the door closes.
âOh my god i swear that was the most awkward i've been with your mom in forever.â You let out a deep sigh as you lean against the kitchen counter, Megan places down the rest of the dishes.
âYeah no that was really awkward.â She giggles âYes aunty i don't plan on doing anything with Megan till she's readyâ She mockingly says in your tone of voice. You shove her shoulder lightly.Â
âCome on lets finish the dishes, I rinse, you dry?â You stand over the sink, turn on the sink and scrub the dinner plates with a soapy sponge.
âMhm, sounds like a solid planâ She hums, picking up the drying towel from the towel rack as you start to hand her some rinsed dishes. You cheekily smile to yourself as you get a devious idea. Megan is suddenly met with a warm splash of water from the sink head
âYou did not just do thatâ She looks at you astonished, Mouth agape. âYou little shit, YnâÂ
âSuch hurtful words require punishmentâ You giggle as you spray her with more water,
âWhat the fuck!â She squeals, feeling the water soak her shirt, âthat's not fair, i don't have a sink to spray you too.â Suddenly it seems as Megan gets an idea for your payback.
âCome here, YN. Give me, your girlfriend, A hug. why don't you?âÂ
âNo! I'm not gonna hug you, Meg. You gotta catch me first.â She roars with laughter as she chases after you in the kitchen.Â
âIm gonna get you!â She loudly shouts, Running you into the corner of the kitchen.
âIâve got you trapped now don't i?â She pants.
âI guess so, And what are you gonna do about it?â
You tease her, She pulls you into a wet hug âEughhhh, it's so coldâ You groan feeling her damp top spread the water on your shirt. She pulls away, Snickering at the sight of your now also damp shirt,Â
âYou get what's coming for you.â
âCan i atleast borrow a shirt or something?â You pull your shirt away from your chest to unstick it from your skin.
âYeah, Come on. Let's go upstairs and dry off.â She grasps her hand with yours, Her nails graze your wrist. She drags you up the stairs into her room. You stare in awe, It looks similar to when you were last here but different at the same time.
âYou took down the BTS posters?â You take a glance at her as she rummages through her closet for two shirts.
âFigured it was time to grow up i guessâ She sighs and pulls out the shirts.Â
âYou sure it wasnt just your new friends pressuring you? Not that it really matters honestly, just curious.â
âYes its fine, seriously, YN. I dont get whats your problem is right now, they were just posters.â She throws a purple oversized shirt at you.
âJust asking, No offence and all thatâ You exhale deeply, âShould i go to the bathroom and change or?â She just nods and you take that as your sign to leave the room.
You reenter the room and she's laying on her bed, Phone in hand. You knock on the door frame, she glances up then pats the side of the bed for you to sit down.
âSorry by the way. Its not really my place to ask those types of questions.â You sit on the end of her bed.
âIts okay, I'm sorry too by the way. I overreacted a tad.â You observe as she hesitates to interlock hands, You take action as you interlock your pinkies together.Â
"I guess i realized how much you've changed. And i guess i wasn't ready to fully realize it." You lay next to her, Brushing shoulders.

Thereâs a theory going around (what with DATV shut out of the game awards) that the writing sucks so hard because EA or BioWare forced an AI rewrite after firing a chunk of the writing staff. I wonât say I fully beleive it, but I will admit that quite a lot of the dialogue in Veilguard feelsâŠoff. Itâs hard to really describe.
I know EA had mentioned wanting to use AI writing in their games, but I figured that meant future games. Any thoughts on this?
this is devastating to me but i hate to say... i can see it. and feel it, more importantly, which i think is the key with AI. a few things that make this seem plausible to me are that bluesky post from epler that has since been deleted talking about how he agreed with the biggest criticism of veilguard (without specifying what he was referencing) was something he agreed with, and trick and another dev chimed in and added that not only did they all agree, but they tried to fight it and lost. we are never going to know exactly what this was referencing, but i think it does allow us to infer that there was a significant amount of friction between EA and bioware. the kotaku article on vg's development from 2019 also has a rather telling couple of lines: "I kept hearing one interesting sentiment from current and former BioWare staff: They felt like the weirdos in EAâs portfolio, the guys and gals who made nerdy role-playing games as opposed to explosive shooters and big sports franchises. BioWare games never sold quite as well as the FIFAs and Battlefields of the world, so it never felt like they could get quite as many resources as their colleagues at other studios. High-ranking BioWare staff openly wondered: Did EAâs executives really care about narrative? Did they really care about RPGs? Those questions have always lingered, and still do today." so... yeah. that feels relevant to me with this.
the second is the datamined dialogue people have been finding that reveal what is frankly a far better written game and more in-depth dialogue. some of it is still cheesy and marvel-esque, but theres so much MORE of it that shows a much more coherent vision for the plot that for some reason is just.... gone? and i have no clue why. idk if we will ever know this for sure, and it is genuinely difficult to pick out AI from any other kind of profit-focused corporate writing other than just.... intuition. you can often feel the lack of humanity within it. and considering we know what bioware writing feels like and its the reason so many of us are here on this website yapping about their stories and characters... and how veilguard feels like something is just missing... yeah. i dont think its outside of the realm of possibility

hi hi! so i'm the same anon that talked about heather dying for plot lol i knew that there was an order! but why there's an order i dont know... i was just caught off guard about her death and very emotional too so. and also for the order i just realized. so my favorite counselors go in this order: Oscar, Heather/Devin (they tie lol), and Dolly. Fuck Chet. And Sun's order for killing them were: Chet, Dolly, Devin, Heather... SUN PLEASE DONT KILL OSCAR. HE'S THE MOST REDEMPTIVE ONE. HE'S GONE TO THERAPY MAN.
plus 2 things i thought of last night after i sent that ask: i was thinking of the ending, how they saw that Sun escaped, and had the rabbit song stuck in my head. Sun's foot left in the trap. Rabbit. Foot. Rabbit. RABBITS FOOT. RABBIT'S FOOT. I SEE YOU (intentional or not lmao) ok but wait im confused, does Sun still have 1 foot after this or is he just ballin'. like on his ball joints of his feet like a pirate with double peg legs and then something funny. I was thinking of the rabbit song (ofc) and how the farmer was hunting the rabbit. I can imagine like the time between the counselors still calling us ducky and sun starting to use rabbit just like "duck season! rabbit season!" looney toons style and y/n is like "?????"
Genuinely fascinated by just how many people have mentioned Oscar's therapy as the reason to root for his survival đ As you SHOULD be, honestly. Oscar's the only one who's been any real effort into changing as a person and the therapy is proof of that, I just think it's also incredibly funny that this little factoid keeps coming up.
Hate to be the bearer of bad conflicting news, but you're both right and wrong about the presence of Rabbit's Foot symbolism. Sun's foot has nothing to do with it I'm afraid (that was just a funny coincidence), however:
Y/N discovered Chet when their foot caught on the body
Sun empathized with them by comparing their injured foot with his own, and later offered them complete honesty when tending to it
Their foot (shoe) was caught in a trap at the worst possible moment, but they were still lucky enough to escape
Always always always assume that I have stuffed as much symbolism as is physically possible into my stories. If I can make one dot connect to another even slightly I will make a whole picture out of it.

sorry for the random ass ask but im a freshman at an american university with an entirely queer friendgroup. they know im jewish but i think they have the impression that im anti-zionist bc they like me and a jew they like couldnt possibly be a zionist. its hard because we live together and i dont want to risk being alienated if i speak my mind. i even have the israeli flag on some things in my room and it makes me so anxious because these people participate in the protests and the boycotts and dont believe israel should exist but theyre my only friends. sorry for this again i had to get it off my chest đ
oy oy oy!!!!! im so sorry. that's a really difficult position to be in, and first year university is already hard enough. i want to really encourage you to reach out to any local jewish community, if there is one, just so you have some support or people to talk to. even if you have to do it in secret. its scary at first and it took me a whole year after i moved away from home to go to my synagogue, but i decided to get super involved (took a hebrew school teaching job) and it was hella worth it. i started hanging out at hillel and talking to people at chabad. now i have a comfortable jewish community around me and im so grateful. I also managed to find some goyishe friends who are chill! they exist, they are out there! and if jewish community or chill goyim aren't available, my DMs are open. I'm really sorry about your situation :( i hope it gets easier, and i hope you can talk to your friends one day and they will be reasonable and understanding.

can you explain how daphne is lying about being with artyom? i hope this does not come off as rude! i am genuinely curious about this.
alright. now before the daphne dickriders come and get me, pls just read this with an open mind and consider what i am saying with what she is giving you guys.
i also want to apologize for any parts that are too hard to understand, russian is my first language. if someone needs me to elaborate on any part, i will!!
im aware i cant make ***everyone*** stop believing daphne, but this is just to clear it up for people who are still confused/curious.
daphne has made a few tiktoks in which shes talking about the 'letters' that her and artyom 'exchanged'. she cannot send artyom letters; russian prisons are extremely selective with who can contact a prisoner. you need certain information on the prisoner (like a prisoner id as an example), and chances are, only people with a higher power/close family can have those pieces of information. if you dont and try to send a letter, itll be sent right back.
another thing that i find suspicious is how she claims that she has photos of artyom that he sent her, but she doesn't wanna share them. her reason? "the shippers". she says the shippers who ship nikita and artyom will 'go crazy' with them or something, like w their edits or whatever. thats such a BS reason dude.
adding onto that, how tf would artyom even get a photo of himself...? hes in prison for life, he has ZERO access to the internet or anything like that, correct me if im wrong, but that would include cameras or anything like that.
this is more "me personally" why i dont believe she and artyom are getting married:
first of all, given what we know about artyom's personality, i find it really hard to believe that he would want to marry daphne (absolutely no offense to her, shes very kind and sweet. im just saying that i dont think their personalities would mix very well, given shes an astrology girl.)
and also, shes a foreigner. its not ***extremely*** rare for a russian to marry a foreigner but like... she dont know him. that also adds onto the letters; she is literally from another country, i find it extremely hard to believe that they were exchanging letters.
thats all i can recall as of right now, i woke up just a little bit ago so im still tired haha. i might add onto this later/add onto this if anyone else has pieces of information they want to add onto this
thank you for taking your time to read this!!

I love how more and more young women are finding God and not afraid to use their social media platforms to embrace and spread the good wordđđŸđđŸđđŸ but I notice that the more and more we choose God, spread the gospel, embrace his love and his word, more and more people are insulted by it??? When it comes to other religions I see nothing but positivity and praise for their God under their post along with some Christians commenting scripture verses but never anything hateful.. yet on Christian posts.. that is all we receive is hate.. why do you think that is?
Satan knows and he has soooo many fallen angels, risen demons and slaves to sin/riches out here working for him. He will do anything in his power to get us to act out of character, curse our God or do things that go against Jesus.
Saints, tonight I urge you to finish off the day without anger for all of our enemies and people who rebuke our Father with ignorance and start tomorrow with love and forgiveness for all things and people. The only thing we should hate is sin. Not the sinner. Just as our father does. We should hate blasphemy but we should not hate the person who cursed his name.
It is so hard to keep my cool honestly and this is one of the MAIN things i have been working on since my adolescence. Satan sees this and tries me over and over again but through God I will prevail and continue to grow in my faith and strength. I will educate before I shame or judge⊠and I will hold my tongue when I feel the burning of rage in my chest and go to God in silent before anything.
Also I should be slow to anger with these people because I learned that even people who sometimes curse God do not know what they are doing because they never truly experienced or learned about him to know any better.
Its like an orphan eating out of a trash can or off the ground instead of asking for some food from the community because they donât know any better, have any guidance nor have they learned that this action can lead to sickness or even death. They have no one to teach them⊠they just have people on the street yelling at them âdont do that! You can get sick! Dont do that! You might die!â As they walk past.. But will the orphan actually listen? They donât know these people, these people have no authority or knowledge to the orphan. The orphan only knows what theyâve learned from the street so they feel safer with eating out of the trash then going to people in the community. They donât know that these people are trying to help them and they take comfort in their own savage ways.
These people do not even know what they do or say or who they are mocking.. I should look at them as Jesus does. Lost sheep with no guidance.. no Sheppard. No word to guide them. So of course they are ignorant and scared.
I would be too without Jesus Christ to lead the way.
repost if you're not ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ!! âĄ

Criticising korean fans when they do something actually dodgy is all fine and good, should go for anyone who does invasive or weird, shit but also the amount of times now I see (usually western) fans just being like. Blatantly xenophobic and racist. Pretty much being like Yuck korean fans.... ?????? You're obsessed with a KOREAN POP ACT? why are you saying Korea like it's a slur you weirdo
#like months back when the fanmeetings were happening i followed a lee know fansite who attended#and they werent korean and then had the audacity to be like Wow im so shocked /those people/ were actually so friendly to me#those people? those people?#also on the rude invasive fan front people followed those boys around in chicago and filmed them so the invasive fan thing is not#exclusively a korean fan thing- theyre in korea the most so not shockingly the most incidents happen there#and obviously the kfan culture in gen is worrying#but i see almost as much weird and bad behaviour when they go elsewhere so again maybe dont be so holier than thou#call out weird shithead behaviour for sure- ive done it woth white washing a bunch but the second you go into /those people/#territory- well. fuck off idk i have no advice its just wild seeing sometimes tweets with hundreds or thousands of likes#that are so blatantly fuckin obvious#like at this point its fair to say any kpop fan from anywhere around the world can be a fucking weirdo asshole 𫶠everyone be better đ«¶#text became small but wont change so idk im whispering this post i guess

i cannot wait to get out of school so i never have to be around kids using ai for their work again đ
#my friend got a shit mark on the environmental science midterm and it took me everything i had not to tell him off#like no shit you got a bad mark#also youre an ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MAJOR you should know the impact your ai usage has#he sat on his phone for the rest of the class too like hello ??#i need reality to hit these people stop using ai please im begging#its not worth it youre just stupid#it pisses me off so much and they just dont care#i dont understand how you can use it for any part of your work and not feel gross#even people who just ask it to reword the question just go talk to a real human being please its not worth it#go talk to the prof who wrote the question dont has the ai thats probably wrong

"Madam Yu would be a Karen/ treat minimum wage employees like shit-" literally the only servant she's shown abusing is Wei Wuxian (and that's because he's the victim of a proxy war between her and Jiang Fengmian around the idea of him being adopted into the family, not because of his class). Madam Yu's two handmaid's love and respect her, and Madam Yu actually defends them when Wang Lingjiao tries being a Karen to them. She also tells Wang Lingjiao to fuck off when she demands the Jiang servants bring her tea.
Also, Karens are unpleasant women, but not all unpleasant women are Karens. That term is about entitlement and being unreasonable (and often times, racist). Madam Yu is mean and unpleasant to talk to, but she keeps most of her interactions brief and probably doesn't have the time or mental energy to be a Karen or hold a grudge that long. If you want an actual example of a Karen in mdzs, Wang Lingjiao is right there
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#grand master of demonic cultivation#for those confused on who I'm arguing against- this is about comments left on the âwho'd be more insufferable onlineâ tournament#I'll stop writing Madam Yu defense posts when y'all start actually looking at how she's described in the books#you guys just parrot and amplify the same âwoman meanâ narrative about her and its frustrating#I'm convinced most of you dont even read what she says or know she has motivations#and because i get at least one person going âso you're excusing child abuseâ every time I talk about her-#No. I am not defending or excusing any of the bs she's actually done in canon#child abuse bad. theres just a lot of misinformation out there on what that abuse actually entailed#1 or 2 lashes that do not break the skin + shit talking and kneeling is a different punishment from whipping someone till they can't move#the former was her usual interaction with wwx. the later was an act to get the wens to fuck off#also can you guys please acknowledge the fact she was incredibly angry and on edge in canon because a war was about to start#and her kids and clan (but especially her kids) were being put in active danger#and that her ranting sessions happened around her family and she was venting#and that she's shown being cordial to unrelated people#she's a well respected figure. that wouldn't happen if she was a karen#and if we're looking at a modern au where there isnt a war happening she probably wouldnt be as on edge

Can you make a tutorial on how you world build and make ocs? I can't seem to make any people in my brain, but then when I try to come up with environments jobs, beliefs and little details to slowly come up with someone, I think: well I don't really know how people have influenced the world- it's a weird loop
To be honest, I don't think I can! Writing is an extremely personal process. The way I write is directly related to how I process things, what I find important in stories, years of my own analysis of my and other's writing, etc... The way you write will be unique to you, as well. But I can explain how I personally think of it.
The short answer:
Write. Write anything and everything, it's a tool to explore your ideas. Analyze your own writing, and write more. Then, as you discover which ideas you want to develop, write more to explore them more. You won't know what you want otherwise!
The long answer:
I think this kind of loop is common. It's easy to feel like everything needs to be done "at once," because our job as writers is to make elements logically fit with each other for our readers. But as you've discovered, developing multiple elements simultaneously isn't really possible, or at least is extremely difficult.
Personally, when I think of writing, I break it into three major elements; characters, world, and plot. As much as possible every scene explores one or more of these, and as much as possible these three things tie back into what I personally consider most important: theme.
Everything I do is in service of the themes I want to present. Without them my events feel aimless. It can take a while to discover them, but they're the core of my work. You will have to discover what you feel is the core of yours. Analyzing other media helps with this too.
Concepts in your brain exist in a state of infinite potential. But when you start writing you have to start making choices, which removes potential as you move forward... But you have to move forward anyways. If there's ideas you want to explore later, you can always explore them later.
What this ends up meaning, to answer your question, is that I don't think of my characters as "people in my brain" or my worlds as something people have influenced... Not at their core, at least. They are tools that I use to represent specific ideas. Obviously they're also my blorbos, but mostly they're serving a specific narrative purpose.
So above all else... Write. Write, and discover what you're writing about, and then start over and write with that in mind. Keep doing this. But you have to write!
#I wish there were a cleaner answer to this kind of thing#and I also wish that there were a way to answer that didnt feel like 'just do it lol'#but... genuinely you kind of just have to do it!#I find it helps to reframe writing as trying to figure out which ideas I don't like#then if I write anything that feels bad to me#it's not about being a bad writer or anything like that. it's just something I dont want in my story and I delete it.#like if you find yourself naturally coming up with worldbuilding elements. its okay to just start there!#you can start like 'I really want giant mushrooms' and then start thinking about how cool that would be#and like oooh what if there were really cool caves full of mushrooms and all glowy yeaaah#then you start building people from that. colonies of fungal people or something. this is still worldbuilding#then you might think now. whats a plot that could go with this and show off my cool mushrooms.#maybe the mushrooms are all connected and the main one is dying and no one knows why. it's a classic plot.#if you still dont feel like you can find a character in that. keep going! why is it dying? how can it be saved? can it? if not then why?#etc etc etc. when I am writing I actually ltierally write out 101 questions like this as I'm going and then I answer them#and if I cant answer them. then I figure out a different situation that doesnt bring that question up LMFAO#eventually you can decide you want a hero who idfk will replace the big mushroom or something. a sacrifice and immortality simultaneously#then you can be like yeah so my themes are probably about sacrifice. connection to others. love for your community. stuff like that#and then you can go back to your world and say. yeah I think that people should have telepathic communication on some level!#I'm just making all this up right now but I just want to illustrate somehow how this kind of cyclical process can actually be a tool#because it's not about getting it all right at once. its about leaning into the cycle and how it guides you through developing these#anyways idk if this makes any sense. if this doesnt feel like it works for you then it probably literally doesnt#but writing more and analyzing writing more is ALWAYS good#it will never make your writing worse to do those things.#unfortunately (said with all the love in the world) writing is an endless process of learning more about who you are and what you care abou#its wonderful but it's hard and theres no way to skip that process#good luck!#asks#anon#writing stuff#oh also if at any point you go hm. that big thing isnt working for me I think...

is there any actual catharsis in the boys or is it all just suffering and scrambling for a crumb of relief
#bc i cant handle whump without a bit of silver lining#its why i didnt like game of thrones#theres just so much suffering and the entire time you want just something to go right for the characters you like#but its just bad thing after bad thing#and the people you dont like keep getting worse and getting away with it#i already know homelander will exhaust me#theres enough celebrities and rich people that do horrific shit and get away with it in real life i dont need that in my shows too#like for a while? i can deal#but season four is airing and this mother fucker is still adored even if he is being sued or something#i know its not the type of show with clear cut good guys and bad guys thats not what i mean#but yeah is there any relief? or any good things?#or is it just it starts off bad and gets worse and thats the point#i need there to be a reason for all the suffering you know?#so far i like black noir (though i know what happens to him) butcher and a train#and a little bit of the deep but i can also see him annoying me for long chunks of time#is it bc elliot knight is in the new season and i can do a cod crossover with it? maybe so#either way iâll probably end up not watching it and just watch vicariously through gifs and fic lmao#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#the boys#homelander#billy butcher#soldier boy

Moralizing the Boatboys hate is so funny lol you guys do realize joel edits and puts together his own videos . Just say you're not into it and ignore it
#going to get uncomfortably real here but okay here me out#many ccs know about the shipping stuff and they Will play into it because its their JOB#its their job to hold your attention and make you like them and interested in them#theyre grown ass adults on social media#if i was a cc that said something during recording that i didnt want people to take the wrong way#i would simply cut it out because i can do that#i agree that people take it too far#but ultimately a lot of mcyt fanworks are derivative and based off of caricatures#like joel KNOWS that people find the etho obsession bit funny. thats why he brings it up all the time#i agree that there are some things ccs don't want to see but also they spend hours listening to themselves talk and thinking about how they#are perceived. im sure theyve spent time thinking about Shipping#like again there are boundaries and limits to this obvs but also joel drawing hearts around etho in gartic phone is basically him saying#im continuing this bit because i know it gets engagement and i think its funny#he knows it gets perceived as romantic and hes okay with it#why? because hes married and he knows that his online persona is Not him and he knows that his minecraft yaoi with his friends isnt actually#how he feels about them as people. joel irl is NOT into ethoslab at ALL lol but hes okay with joel the minecrafter appearing that way#its one thing to read too deep into a friendship and its another to just roll with what the ccs are handing you and I dont think its any#different here

thinking abt the ggy easter eggs rn
#im so ready for whateber theyre cooking#this is like the only era rn where the sw games arent interesting me rn im so ready to want to engage again#plz focus on ggy vanny gregory vanessa cassie and not cassie dad mapbot dying absent father doing nothintnfor the story#and a game based totally off of books instead of the other way around#i really hope SW games dont become super tftp oriented#as in they make games based off of books instead of the other way around#that would suck majorly#a ggy game would be new content based off of game lore that does exist for ggy and not the book#like patient 46 and his canonical mysterious past#plus everything the tapes said he did#it could be so good#i really want to just see like. any progression of the story#outside of very basic ideas like 'vanny cassie' that are probably going to happen but are so bare bones#theres not much you can think about#insyead of useless plots like cassies dad. sorry but its true if hes the hw2 story he does nothing#nothing that cassie couldnt have also done if shes the protag#i know that sotm has to happen before they can progress so im being patient#but man#i hope we get more stuff like ruin that has good linear on screen storytelling and is more character oriented#everybody liked ruin but not everyone likes sotm#when hw2 came out i saw soo many opinions not just by me and the moots or something but just#fans on twitter diehard or casual#that hated how hw2s story was handled#people actually want storytelling now at sb and ruins scale instead of old school barely comprehensible frustrating lore#thats what sotm feels like its leaning into and im not excited#i hope its a one time thing since its a good chance to do that#a game that already takes place in the og fnaf days#before it even#of course its a good idea to put old school easter eggs and characters and story and stuff of the og days#i just miss my guys :(

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)
#self#mori kei#jfashion#NOT really but like.. it's.. adjacent I guess.. forgive me .. I may try using tags again though I kind of got out of the habit ghhj#I need to be... Seen to some degree. I want to start selling clothes and sculptures again to recoup the costs of having to euthanize my cat#and stuff . but that won't be very successful if I have like.. 15 people to sell to lol...#the eternal Hermit Conflict where you hate attention and Being Percieved in general yet in todays capitalist society it is nearly#a necessity to have some form of social network or media presence especially in creative fields. etc. etc. ... kicking screaming wailing#sobbing so on and so forth.. tearfully punching the cold mossy stone walls of my evil wizard tower...#I was also thinking of maybe opening a few sculpture commission slots and maybe Tumblr Blazing that post or something#but.. again.... sobbing crying interacting with the general public oughhf ouuch -500 HP#why can't I just be approached by some wealthy 65 year old woman who is nonsensically infatuated with my art for no#reason and gives me like $10.000 a week for food and art supplies and etc. and I can go fuck off into a cabin in the middle of nowhere#in the uk and just be left alone to work on my projects without even needing to build any form of connections or social presence because I'#already set for life and can just get funding and connections whenever lol.. WHICH not to be ungrateful like obviously I still appreciate#anyone who follows and interacts with my posts. I dont mean it in a 'grrr fuck all of you imbeciles I wish I could delete my blog!!!' or#whatever hhjkjk.. I just mean it more in a like.. I am very socially inept and my mental illness gives me severe social issues so any situ#tion where I'm expected to self promote or network or interact with others generally is nightmarish and stressful for many many reasons#and if I could somehow skip that part and just go straight to being a famous author or somethin.. that would be cool. Which I know EVERYONE#hates networking and stuff but I mean like.. on a level most people could not possibly comprehend.. I am not just an 'introvert'. I am like#doctors declare me incapable of functioning in general society very poor mental health prognosis probably should have a caretaker at#some point type Hermit lol.. ANYWAY ghbhj... alas.. I also feel weird about the sculptures in terms of what to charge for them#and always have which is part of why I stopped selling them. If I charged a fair even like $15 an hour many of them would be like#close to $150+. and nobody is going to pay that for a decoration. that doesn't even factor in like.. supplies or time spent communicating/s#etching the concept (if a commission) etc. etc. I thought it'd be better to just auction them then and let people pay what they want inst#d of a set price but etsy doesnt allow auctions and is it weird to just.. link people to an Art Ebay or something lol..#AAAANYWAY.. the outfit.. I still love these shoes. they're nice and a little Older Style looking. always into pastel florals too lol#(everything is thrifted as usual. excited about the shirt because it's so puffy! it was in the halloween section though ghjhj.. like when i#s october and they make the special aisle in goodwill for 'Costume' clothes even though theyre all just normal stuff I would wear ghg)
