#and barely with rent being what it is

When I grew up, senior housing was 55 and up. I would see the '55+' banners all over the city.

But now, I assume because the retirement age keeps rising, senior housing in Detroit is 62 and up.

My mother is living in hell. She's 58, has diabetes and CAD, and depression. She's in an apartment that is infested with bedbugs and roaches. This was supposed to be housing for people like her and was in 2015 when she moved in, but in recent years, it's been spiraling into this....

She is in a housing program, and her worker just got her into a new apartment. Everything looked good after two months of gathering paperwork. She was approved. She was just waiting on a move-in date. And today, they've just gotten word they can't accept her because she's under 62.

So, that's some real-world impact of the American politics I post about all damn day.

Actively disturbed by the fact Dan and Phil are t'hy'la (Vulcan word used to indicate people with a close bond; essentially translates to a combination friend, brother, and lover. Used most often to reference the characters Kirk and Spock as something like soulmates or spouses)

Simon Petrikov has always been a GILF and before the crown took over his mind, I think we can all agree long white haired - not ice king yet Simon was kinda hot before the madness set in

Now that I have your attention - hear me out AT fandom- what if Ice Prince in Fionna’s dreams is what Simon/Ice King thought he was throughout the original Adventure Time series?

I always thought Ice King having extremely high self confidence was just a gag or joke before we learned about who Simon was- but there’s tons of instances where he declares he’s hot & doesn’t mind showing off his body in the original. And with the canon 12 yr time skip, we know now everything about Fionna & Cake’s AU and Ice King’s actions to form the AU was based off the madness of the crown playing into Simon’s wish fulfillment, trauma, & life; but also a form of escapism from his reality as a lonely man in a world he cannot relate too.

In the original & first appearance of the AU Ice Queen is H O T {and I’m not just saying that as a pansexual} she is leagues more attractive than how Ice King was and I would argue looks more like what I think Betty would look like if she wore the crown. She’s wish fulfillment but being heavily crown coded explains why she’s no longer Simon’s mind/Fionna’s dreams.

But Ice Prince? That is way more Simon coded than crown & also doesn’t match any of the male background characters we do see in episode 1. What if that’s not just Simon wishing he could be more like Ice King but instead what he actually thought he looked like the whole time the crown controlled him for all those centuries? That would explain why Ice King was so shameless but also partially explain why Simon mentions in ep 2 of Fionna and Cake that he both misses but hates what Ice King looked like.

Yes it’s a Tuxedo Mask reference & an obvious sign Simon still has some magic powers, but you cannot deny that if Simon wanted to dress as Ice King he’d probably go a more Ice Prince style to line up with how he currently dresses. If the AU remained the AU that was all originally knew, Ice Queen would’ve been some evil Sailor Scout or Queen Beryl coded character to Fionna Campbell; Ice Prince wouldn’t be a thing if it was just an alternate universe. And that tall glass of frosty water is definitely what Simon wished he looked like {honestly me too, Ice Prince is so gender}

EDIT: Btw in ep 2 of Fionna and Cake, Ice Queen is seen as the icecream vendor and she looks nothing like Simon but way more like a cross between the Gunther penguins and crown. And yes I know Fionna “dates” Ice King in the original au - my point still stands that it’s still what Simon wanted/thought he looked like with the crown on. Fionna Campbell would be into a very blue robes & wacky eyebrows Ice Prince and Ice Queen wouldn’t be just an icecream vendor who’s nice to kids if the crown had influence still

Love getting lectured by my stepfather about the kitchen after I share some of what I was cooking with them. 😑

I already tend to avoid using the kitchen bc of how cluttered and messy Mom tends to leave it... and now I feel like I'm getting punished for offering y'all some of my cooking.

Being a fanfiction writer in the Real World is so fucking stupid TELL ME WHY when I busted my ass slipping on a goddamn spilled smoothie at work and whacked the shit out of my knee my first thought was “OJV Kyle moment”???? Not “oh damn that was embarrassing” or “why am I the only person here who cares about mopping”, no. Instead, my insane ass is thinking about my overly involved South Park au.

Repeating the mantra “for every ‘it’s so over’ there is an equal ‘we’re so back’” every time it’s 1am and I finish a drawing and lament that I’m deeply uninspired and I’m losing the one thing I’ve always enjoyed. When inevitably a few days later I’ll come up with something. Repeat cycle
