…Pj and Elisse?

pls N O | not shipping it | nah | maybe? | I WISH it’d work | yasss | I ship it | wOW PLEASE!

romantically no cuz pj is super gay re: red/black and is taken pale-wise, and also i think Elisse and him would enable each other a lot in terms of pale stuff anyways.

however... i think they should be friends. i think they would have so much fun 2gether and could def go to parties and stuff. and, as long as she's nice to Io (hard sell), they could be actual friends rather than just party ones

Had to stop for a moment at work thanks to the sudden realization that thanks to the Mouse Droid fic, it’s canon that Eli Vanto is exactly Tarkin’s type, and that makes his promotion process So Much Funnier in Thrawn.

I was reminded of the time that tumblr tried to make "monster high but with tumblr sexymen", and one of the characters was (obviously) the daughter of the once-ler.

And the funny thing to me about that is that in the canon of the illumination lorax movie, the once-ler is heavily implied to have an estranged daughter. I don't know all the sexymen off the top of my head but I think he might've been one of the only ones referenced in that trend who actually had a daughter in his own canon.

I'm so very fortunate for the friends I am making up here.

One of my friends has family with cherry orchards and she invited me to come get some tart cherries. I need so many for my jam and pies that I asked how much it would cost for whatever I need.

All they want in payment is a cherry pie!! Can you believe it?!

So I have a double pie in the oven to pay for my cherries. I'm planning on getting them tomorrow.

Hometown barter system is amazing. I'm VERY fortunate to have my friends.

sometimes people are like "meat why don't you play blackjack outside of wasteland world events" and it's like. can you bribe the dealer to keep hitting? what do you mean there's no traditional casino songs you can yell when the dealer busts?! what's their policy on cheating?? i thought so

doing what is essentially studies in order to trade them for antique photos so expect some of that on the art blog

Otumeel is now my favorite and I will both die and kill for him.

Have a Cass today!

[Image: panels from Batman (1940) #567, showing Cassandra Cain holding out an apple to Barbara Gordon. Babs reaches for it, surprised, saying: "How did you... where...?" Then she smiles up at Cass, saying: "Apple for teacher, huh? Sit down." End description.]

Her!! I just saw this panel again because I was double-checking the issue numbers for the previous ask and I just. Love her so much. I also really liked the issue in No Man's Land that follows the barter system; the intricacies of the barter system are some of my favourite worldbuilding from No Man's Land so I really enjoy reading this scene in context and knowing just how difficult it is to obtain an apple, just how prized fresh fruit is, and seeing Cass give it to Babs. Cass's character introduction is just *clenches fist* so good.

horror moment when I am fully clocked by this 5 year old asking loudly "mommy is that a boy or a girl?" and I'm trying so hard not to bust out laughing because the mom is MORTIFIED because she sure as hell dont know so I tell him I'm a boy and he's like "but I can see your hair? it's blue!" and his mom bless her soul pointed out that she had green hair so I think I am the first boy with dyed hair this kid has ever seen 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my work gender is literally whatever will get you want you want and out the door fastest i dont care. I have old dudes calling be buddy and frat boys calling me bro some days and hijabi girlies telling me about their hair dye disasters and have customers that seek me out because I'm the only femme/faggot on staff. I hope every time someone calls me miss or lady because they think I'm a trans woman that support goes to a trans girls in need. I know.im 5'2 and care about my appearance. I'm aheem/ahiim at this point

very nice comment on that fic that i hauntingly need to edit the chapter for + update of the "hey this is great i hope to be able to read the end of this someday" no pressure variety, and honestly same. maybe i will try to get to that if i get any sleep this weekend. my life has become consumed by learning how to crochet and also finally getting back into reading my immense backlog of books alongside my brother

but now i have several crocheted chickens and the unimaginable chaos of work hell has finally begun to start quieting, and we've gone three whole months without a brutal death or new aggressive sudden cancer, so... we will see

Me when talking about pricing to people for the first time

[ourbastardofsorrows]

i love when sister and i accidentally parallel each other

[mossytrashcan]

i’ll discuss economics with you. well, you can talk and i’ll listen and ask questions cuz i know nothing about economics. (idk why i can’t see that post anymore, tumblr has it out for me i swear)

it’s not up because I DELETED IT. being an artist has given me a supernatural ability to tell when a post is going to reinvent the word failure for me

[zeawesomebirdie]

Omg the amount of power I feel from learning how to carefully clean up and mend a granny square blanket

It's like magic except I know how to do it

[anders-hawke]

the other week my brother asked my what my utopia looked like for a school assignment and it was a little funny how i had to extensively explain what i meant by “a world without money”
