#but I can get under $50 with ups

okay I finished the fucking blanket, it’s huge. it’s gonna be so expensive to ship. 155oz of yarn, I can only compact it down to like 1.5′x1.5′x1′. (I have 5oz of yarn left over to make a mini one for jackie since she loved sleeping on it so much.) but we’ll be fine and it’s worth it. and I labeled all the socks with names of recipients (they were just labeled with shoe sizes) and sorted them and I can do as many as I want or as few as 3 pairs (in 2 colors) depending on how many I can fit on twine above one pot of dye and how much energy I have. I’ll be doing that tomorrow since arin’s covering a long shift and won’t be home to suffer the vinegar smell.
then I have one more pair of to-ship and a scrap tube to go with them (recipient isn’t sure if this alpaca yarn I’m using is safe for their wool allergy but would like to test it), and two pairs for arin, and I’d like a pair for me before I forget how to make them for 10 months. and I guess jackie’s scrap blanket will keep me occupied during phone calls for a week or two. and a batch of toffee if I can be assed, and packaging and addressing everything, and maybe christmas cards if I can convince myself it’s worth the energy. and then craftageddon will be over.
#christmas#actually I looked up package prices and usps is minimum $60#but I can get under $50 with ups#either way it'll be under $150 for total shipping which is like. pretty comfortably affordable now that arin is Employed#but also oof. woof. wowie. christmas got kinda overbudget this year but that may be inflation or whatever.#normally I shoot for $400-500 and once all is said and done it'll be like. $750.#although a lot of it was spread out and not all of it went on my credit card (neither of which is usually the case)#plus like. arin is employed.#I don't have to be quite as tight-fisted with my budgeting anymore.#even if it feels scary.#(that's obviously not including the price of the sock machine or any of that.)#(cuz if I include that in the price I'll feel Terrible and it was a well-reasoned investment.)#(I Would Not Be almost done now if I didn't have it.)

hello everyone i made a quick summary of main route ottosuba. hope this helps.
#rezero#otto suwen#natsuki subaru#YES THIS IS YET ANOTHER POST ABOUT HOW OTTO IS A LITTLE OBSESSED WITH SUBARU. people forget this fact sometimes while shipping him with peo#le other than subaru and its like. if he gets involved with other people now THEYRE gonna deal with his subaru obsession too and the image#of this happening is HILARIOUS to me. why must we ignore ottos subaru obsession when we can include it always for comedic effect.#ottosuba at arc 3-5 is mostly like “awww theyre kinda cute and funny together lol” and then ottosuba at arc 7-8 is like.#subaru beating up vincent and fondly thinking of it as pulling an otto while also being sad at the idea of otto dying while otto is going#feral bc “natsuki san i would let your terrorist daughter and 50 million other people die to save you <3 why wont you let me do that."#i. yeah this is an otto blog now im so sorry arc 8 has destroyed all my brain cells#arc 8 spoilers#gotta give props to main route ottosuba for still being insane IN MAIN ROUTE while kind of going under the radar about it

I am once again going down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out the ages of the Gallifrey characters
#idk why my brain gets so caught up on this but it does#I’m also talking like start of gallifrey because I’m not getting into all that for them now#what bothers me the most is that we’ve got basically nothing on Narvin#I can’t remember for sure but I don’t even think we know what regeneration he’s on#I don’t think it would be hard to assume his first but also it could not be#like for brax we know he’s older than the doctor so that puts him at at least 1000#and romana is around 600 years younger than the doctor so she’d be around 400#and then I’m going with 50 ish for leela because we don’t know her actual age so I’m using Louise jamesons age plus the time she spent#married to andred#also with romana that’s assuming that her and the doctor experienced the same amount of time in between them traveling together and the#start of gallifrey#I guess that could also count for brax too but whatever#for narvin what we’ve got is that he was above the rank of a junior agent under vansell during the time of the fourth doctor#(at least probably)#so we can make the assumption that he wasn’t fresh out of the academy/cia training#which makes me inclined to say that he’s older than romana#but that’s really all I’ve got on him#doctor who#gallifrey#romana#irving braxiatel#narvin#leela#clearly this is a subject I am normal about#if anyone else makes it this far in my rant and has any insights I’d love to hear them

One messed up thing about having a full time job while trying to recover from mental illness is that since I gotta sleep early and have such little free time to myself sometimes I'll hold off on going to the bathroom on my free time cause I want to have more freetime
And also cause if you own all my damn time of course imma try to shit and piss on the clock, you want to own me? You get to pay me for pissing and shitting
It is what it is
#mein shit#its an eternal loop of work sleep work sleep work sleep work sleep#and i know all pf us are doing this and this is all there is to life under capitalism#but its so so so damned fucked up#how is this meant to be sustainable?#i dont get it#sometimes i wish i was one of those dudes convinced that theyll win capitalism cause life feels so so doomed when you really look at how#we're living#they're trying to lower the working hours in my country cause they figured out that theyre overworking us so much that its actually#impacting the economy because the average person here is so overworked they dont have time (or money while we're at it) to be consumers#like the biggest reason they want to lower working hours isnt even because unsuprisingly everyone is so damn overworked that 50% of the#population has anxiety like chronically#they've overwokerd us into a mental health epidemic#but the reason theyre considering lowering the working hours is do they can get the money that we do not have#this is hell man#we live in hell#anyway i gotta do so many things but i have like 40 minutes of free time left before i gotta rinse and repeat that i dont want to do any#of them#inclusing piss

so does anyone have any info on the dao official guide collector's edition with the whole extra 70 pages of lore? because there are occasional references to it on the wiki with some lore that isnt anywhere else and i cant Not Know Things yknow..
#am i prepared to buy it for $150? ......................perhaps#but REALLY has nobody ever scanned it and put it online? because i cant find it#and im pretty good at finding things by now#if i do end up getting it you can be sure i'll scan it and chuck it in my drive folder of all the da stuff#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age lore#personal#i went through yesterday to check what's in every collector's edition of every game and guide#and this is the main thing i dont have#there's also a bit more content in the da2 & dai guides but it's just behind the scenes stuff. which would be nice to have but it's not LOR#in terms of collectors editions of the games it'd be cool to have the origins bonus dvd (which looks a lot cheaper if im bothered)#and the dai tarot cards would be nice but. again. they're not lore and that's the thing i care most about lmao#i havent checked to see if i can find the dvd stuff anywhere online so maybe i can hmmm#but this goddamn dao guide...................PLEASE#to be fair i havent bought myself ANYTHING in MANY MONTHS#maybe like 2 dinners. cool ive spent under $50 on myself this year basically. in terms of like..nice things that arent recurring payments#so i might get it idk. but it'd still be nice if anyone had any of it anywhere

on that same note of rozelic and icateztol. WHYYY is CG giving them a rerun before raligon is supposed to be coming out i can't pull for all of you guys and NOT spend all my linkstones 😭😭😭
#lord of heroes#loh#genuinely about to start tweaking#bro OKAY first it was oswald......that i needed to skip because i don't have enough to build TWO earth commander units#THEN it was w. rosanna getting a rerun but as gacha this time#THENN it was icateztol and rozelic's reruns#FOUR back to back faves i wanna pull for but i can't because i promised myself i'm saving my 14 pity for raligon. but it's like 2 ten pulls#so Technically like 20. i usually don't do single pulls but lowkey it might be smarter this time#AND THEN since i really like how ahilam looks i wanna save for her ass too#and it's not like i have crumbs for linkstones rn because i have 180 pulls worth. almost 190 and it's like 9479#i could probably reach that before the end of the week. but yea that's full pity two times over#knowing my luck with pity though......i usually don't get characters under 50-60 pulls#so even if i have a lot saved rn whoever else i pull for after raligon has a bad chance of eating up my linkstones#like i NEED to get super lucky after raligon#okay ranting over. but i can get a chance at rosanna icateztol or rozelic after him if i really want but im also Scared

#i feel like. um. tours go where the audience is#and uh. perhaps. just a theory. two english speaking youtubers are going to have a larger audience#in western counties and especially english speaking countries#they even only have two shows in the very south of canada#wait dam ni did not know canada's population is TEN times less than the USA. that explains a lot#anyways i was just getting to the point that they definitely have dedicated fans all over the world who would love to see them#and they know that#but they have to consider whether they're going to have 50 people in a theatre or 500#and if they're going to be forcing those 50 people to travel great distances or 500 ppl who live right next door y'know#to be quite frank despite the rennassiance i'd say they're still less popular than at the II era#damn WAD had SIX canada shows something's up with that.... maybe it's just bigger venues#seems like WAD has a lot more shows in a lot of places but i did compare the venues in my area and the TIT one is 2.5x bigger#anyways yeah my own example. i'm not sure if i'll go. even tho i'm watchign them again i'm not a Fan like i was back in 2020#damn THREE shows in florida that's insane. why#but yeah even looking at the USA map there's nothing in the northern midwest#i'm sure there are at least 10 phannise in montana who are scrimping and scraping to travel to washington right now#but the fact of the matter is the northern midwest is the most sparsly populated area of the USA#so it just won't pay off to travel there - even tho the % phannie is probably the same as the rest of the USA#the population is low enough multiply by that % = too few people!#and on the europe map we can see they're only going to northern europe#they're not even going to france or spain#now i'm not an expert in europe but i am under the impression that northern europeans speak more english#so more of them will be fans of english-lanuage dnp#and tbh i think the reason they haven't said anything is um. that they expected people to know this.#dnp#also um. ppl talking about this in context of latin america and asia um there's another big continent missing: africa.#but nobody seems concerned about that one because nobody expects there to be dnp fans there#so like people must understand this to some degree#also if dan lost money on WAD it makes sense they'd be more conservative booking venues#it's entirely reasonable to be heartbroken ofc just saying this bc i saw ppl say The Only Possible Reason is racism

Is there something wrong with me or is the effects of living in an oppressive capitalistic society? More on this at 7
#shut up henry#vent#?#I cannot imagine a fulfilling life under capitalism#Every job I look at sounds like actual literal hell#And my art won't ever be something I can live off of#And I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore because 50-75% of the time I don't even want to be alive#I'm not going anywhere but. I'm struggling is all lol#But the more I get rejected from entry level jobs the more I feel like there's just something wrong with me at this point#So uhh if any rich furries wanna sponser me I'll draw ur fursona forever however you want /hj

is there like a curse you get put under when you decide that you like cold weather better than hot weather to never ever shut the fuck up when someone expresses a different opinion on the subject, or is that just a choice you are all making
#i really don't get it. i don't do this on posts about liking the cold#but every post about liking hot weather is FULL of people like 'ohhh but op have you considered it's easier to warm up than cool down'#as though a) that is true everywhere or b) we've never heard it before#first of all no it's not i will refer you to the years ive spent insomniac in the winter because no matter how i huddled i could not feel m#toes but second of all we fucking KNOW. we Know. we know you feel that way. It's not a secret we are AWARE. WE KNOW#no one's saying you can't like the cold but for fucks sake if you're not gonna say anything helpful what's the point of saying it#red rambles#i know i'm being a bitch this week but also i don't care. it's like fucking clockwork#every single time i reblog one of those posts i just wait for three or four people to tell me about how they 'can't peel off their skin' if#it's too hot. as though the only way to cool down is to take off layers#unfortunately i am not afflicted with whatever curse this is. sorry about your inability to shut up when you're clearly in disagreement tho#for the record i'm still housetrained and i have no intention of expressing this annoyance by going and bothering people who like the cold#you can like the cold if you want to i dont give a shit#but like. Seriously what the fuck is the deal with this shit#do you actually think that 'weh weh but actually the cold is better' is a unique opinion. approximately 50% of the people in any given place#will agree with you#there is absolutely no new complaint you can offer under the sun that will be fresh to anyone hearing it#as we have exhausted literally all of them by the age of like twelve.

been thinking about how depending on race and how old tav is when they're abducted astarion will have been able to spend more time with them than he did with cazador by like a lot in some cases and i feel unwell... i think i hauve covid
#something about more happy memories than bad ones....OUGH#this was originally about just elves bc i knew they were the longest but gnomes and dwarves also live long upon looking it up#most of my tavs are young and that seems to be the case in general#so like they could have centuries left with him... elves especially and drow can get up to 1000 years old...#i think druids tend to have longer lifespans too idr where i saw that but it was when i was figuring stuff out for kaya's backstory#zara's def under 100 maybe like 50-60 so they have so much time together... like 4x the amount of time he was trapped for...#lilith is older but still young somewhere in mid-late 100s leaning later so like 3x the amount#im clawing paint off the walls and shredding the drywall#.txt

45,000 words done!!!
#rant#mejo writing#also! 24000 words i need to write!#i might get lucky and itll only be 12000 but. im betting on 4000 word chapters#36000 more words if i cant shut the fuck up#but yeah all chapters planned and just put the chapter outlines individually so i can flesh them out now. and im slated for 6 more chapters#24 chapters total#and it strikes me how my last long story finished (fanfic mind u) was 32 chapters plus epilogue#and i wonder if my mind just tends to tell stories in 20-30 story chunks#im proud of how concise ive been tho! this novel draft is 45k now and gonna be either 69k when done. or 57k or (worst case) 81k#which is Great tbh. cause i was aiming for 50k (which i failed) figured itd be 60-90k (which it is turning out to) and i#was DESPERATE to keep it under 100k. i wanted it to be a less daunting number of pages#and the story has like 3 planned future books so. i was hoping i could keep each individual one 50-100k#for the sake of me ToT
