Hey so… guess who had the worst fucking luck?
It me! No nothing was stolen, nothing was missing. I dont have anything in my car to steal and I use a seat belt lock after a car was stolen in my neighbourhood. I just walked outside to see this. Glass was inside and outside so who knows what happened?
But I can't really afford to replace it. My parents are willing to help but like I will still be in the red plus I haven't gotten full time hours for a while (and may not because my company sucks).
If anyone can donate anything I would be so thankful as I look for a full time job now that I'm graduated.
#help#kofi#car window#broke#I literally am in the red for money#parents can lend a hand#but it'll still cost me#anything helps

"dull knives aren't safe they're more dangerous than a sharp knife!"
tell that to my now 5+ scars from ultra sharp fillet knives
#I gave myself two the other day at the docks lmao#user error#yes ikik but if you put a sharp knife in my hand it'll generally end with the other hand being cut so badly I'd get stiches if not for#american health care costs#me sleeping with my hand elevated and bandaged and it's still bleeding when I wake up#actually one is also from a cheese grater that might not have scarred if I hadn't ripped the scab off on something

Would you consider yourself to be a Yakumo connoisseur? Because I would pay to see you rank and review all of Yakumo's rooms. Your thoughts and ramblings are very fun to read.
**coughs up a bit of blood**
[dabs at my mouth with a small towel] although i ..HAVE seen, uh, every yakumo room I CANNOT CONSIDER MYSELF necessarily a connoisseur because uhhh the magic of subjectivity is that we can all be exposed to the same media, and yet interpret it vastly differently so!!! who's to say what makes someone a yakuconnoisseur or a yakudabbler..!!!
......... tho you probably agree with many of my interpretations if you think my words are fun to read.... err...... [CLANGS MY METAL CUP AGAINST THE BARS OF THE JAIL CELL] WELL, PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR TYPING FINGERS ARE , buDDY cuz THOSE wORDS r gonna COST YA
#more like.. they would cost me an indeterminate amount of time#IF I HAD TO RANK AND REVIEW EVERY YAKUROOM FSLJFRAKW#it would take me weeks to compile all my thoughts#i can try to fool myself and say 'hahaha oh i'll just type up my thoughts without a filter it'll be soooo easy'#but i know. an hour in. it's gonna be screenshots and captions and arrows pointing to dicks and FAR too many linking words#total projected usage count of the words 'like/and/uh': 800000+#although the idea of ranking and reviewing every single room is a daunting task#i can still do a smaller task for ya!! something within my ability!! how about...#if you want to request a specific room i can ramble about THAT one!#or if you can't decide... idk... you can give me a few choices and i'll pick my fave out of those to ramble about??!#feesh answer

My sample pins arrived!! 🤩👽🐰
The other three in the Summer Blubbin' set are drying bc the pinbacks came off with their rear protective sheets and I had to glue them back on. 😭 I'm pretty happy with their sizes overall! Bogos binted came out kind of large and the raygun came out kind of small by comparison though, so I'll probably see what I can do to fix them. And with the Blubby pins, I might lower the opacity of her blush, it printed kinda dark.
In addition to these I got a few extra designs for funsies. Some TMBG pins based off the Hotel Detective MV for my friends and I who are going to see them this year!! 🤩 One with that WTTH photo I did a redraw of, just for me. And two JFKs (Clone High) bc I thought they'd make funny collar pins hehe. I keep meaning to watch the new season but I want to watch the original again first... hard to find the time!!
#I have drafts for a bunch of the other original clones too. Maybe sometime down the line I could do em all up.#I think they'd be kinda niche for the events I table at tho???? 😭#I've been having a rough month so these cheered me up today... :')#Further rambles here in the tags:#I'm still waiting for the mini gacha machines I ordered to ship out... im so impatient haha. but im so anxious about them too lol.#worrying theyre going to cancel the order or something 😨😭 idk!!!#ill tell you what though. next time im doing acrylic pins these badboys are going on clear acrylic.#get the fun coloured acrylic he said. it'll look great he said.#it does look great. but the cost is crazy compared to clear. especially bc there are two colours#i know the alien backing colour looks kinda orange but theyre pink!!#also not sure about this but im considering producing the summer blubbin set at all???#or maybe doing that set down the line. just bc the aliens kicked their ass on every interest poll i did LMFAO#or maybe even swapping their backing from orange to the same pink the aliens are on???? 🤔🤔🤔#many things to consider#grafftalk

well this sucks
#my chrome book is reaching the end of its natural lifespan#Ive gotten it to last like more than a couple years at this point#but chrome books are pretty much awful devices#so I need to go out and get a laptop that's NOT a chrome book#but for one thing I've literally never owned a laptop that's not a chrome book#I saved up and bought my current chrome book for like freshman year of highschool#I waited for a memorial day sale and special pricing so I could get it on like three discounts#so aside from the cost I have *no* idea where to go about buying a new laptop#I need one that's pretty sturdy at least and preferably similar size to a chrome book#I like the way I can charge things by attaching them to my Chromebook I like the way the keyboard is set out and I like that the touch-#screen and keypad aren't that sensitive#so I need to a) find a new laptop b) have the money to buy that laptop and c) learn how to use that laptop#none of which are things that I'll be particularly good at#I just want my 130 dollar old enough to be in elementary school hunk of plastic to work forever is that to much to ask#I've actually gotten it to live much longer than normal lmfao#really hoping it'll stay functional for at least another month or two#I hate getting new tech#I’ve still got an iPhone 8 for heavens sake#You can pry it out of my cold dead hands#I should probably get a new one but like. This one works pretty much.#Nothings cracked it charges fine all the buttons work#Honestly I’d prefer a phone a shade older than this one with a seperate headphone Jack#Basically the whole design of new phones is anti-me#Wide flat smooth super thin light and easily breakable#Plus I don’t have confidence that everything on this phone would transfer over. And this is literally the only phone I’ve ever owned#This thing is a treasure trove

hi I’m curious as what you think about the makeup poll results ! have a good day <3
what i've learned is that making this poll was a mistake and people will go out of their way to be obtuse on this site lmfao
#lmfao in all seriousness it's interesting to see that almost a third of the people who've voted choose not to wear makeup simply because of#the effort/cost required; it also makes me sad that a lot of the people in the notes who voted yes are saying that they wear it because#they don't like the way they naturally look :( tied into that i also wish that the no response of preferring their natural look was higher#i also find the responses irt gender really interesting#we still have a few days of my notes being ruined by this poll but i'm curious as to how it'll all shake out#icelogged

How goes the time travel fic?
On hold while I may or may not have covid (probably from the holidays) and also half a gallon of epoxy resin to use before it goes bad (definitely from the holidays), but I'll put some words to paper right now just for you 🥂
Today, I made a mushroom pyramid :)
#Resin's expensive man#Once I use up this gallon (which was like $60 after a half-off coupon) I'm not getting more#I got it to preserve my bouquet from my friend's wedding which turned out great but man. Didn't expect these costs#No wonder stuff like my pyramid would be like $50 on Etsy#Anyway once I get back to writing it'll still be a little slow since I'm simultaneously writing three documents:#the fic the outline and the timeline#Later on when the timeline spreadsheet and the outline are done it'll hopefully be quicker#Thank you for thinking of my work <3#It's pretty magical to remember I can press some buttons and strangers the world over think it worthwhile enough to ponder#Not my art#inquiry#anonymous#Take the Long Way Home#Also the maybe covid thing: I am definitely sick. My test was negative.#My whole family is sick. They all came back negative EXCEPT my dad. However he gets out the least??#Surely me flying through the Atlanta airport in holiday rush should've done it. Or my brother traveling home on the train#Or my mom going to way too many pub Christmas shows. Any of us. But my work-from-home dad??#I dunno. Maybe some test was wrong but I'm on the upswing and don't have anywhere to be so not too important WHAT it is now

how do you find a job when
you have no proper experience
you have no diplomas
you have no training in anything
you don't have a driving license
you need your job to be part-time but they're harder to find
you need your job to involve as little contact with customers as possible
you need a job that doesn't require you to take/make phonecalls
you have rejection sensitivity that makes you want to cry and sends you in a spiral of anxiety at the slightest negative remark from both colleague and client, even if they're not being mean about it
you have undiagnosed adhd which makes you unable to take up any training/studies because you just can't get yourself to start something that you're not deeply interested in, and even then it can still be a struggle to focus on learning/studying because your brain just Doesn't Want To no matter how much you do
you are terrified of the plague but no one else gives a shit anymore and you're too chicken to stand up for yourself over wanting to mask amongst people who will either straight up not allow it or make you feel shitty/weird for it
honestly i feel like i could've figured something out with the program the unemployment office is putting me in, i really think it could help me, but then worldwide plague denial happened, so even that program is scary and stressful now :)
the dream would be an entirely remote part-time job but they're much less common in my country, and when there's one I'm not qualified and the amount of tasks to do makes me feel super overwhelmed
#bee rants#i'm so lucky that my apartment is ours so when my dad passes away it'll be mine#but i'll still have food and bills to pay and i'll have to pay for my sister's share of the apartment so i can't stay like this forever :')#except in april i haven't had any income since october and it's the worst....i need a job#the unemployment office sent me on that one program for people with mental and/or physical disabilities and i'm gonna be given an internshi#but it's unpaid and the plague problem remains and the therapist I'm assigned to was even like 'we'll work on that' and i'm just like#I don't want to work on that????#y'all are the ones who are delusional. i'm the reasonable one for wanting to keep wearing a mask here!#i also want to finally get a diagnosis but it costs money and I'm Scared and even people in medical settings look at me weird for masking#maybe i'm just lazy and a coward and trying to find excuses

it’s been a hellish last couple months dealing with being caught in the crossfire between incompetent rental car agency that is mad at me and incompetent car insurance company that didn’t tell me the person handling my claim fucking QUIT and MY CLAIM WENT FORGOTTEN FOR MONTHS and it still isn’t resolved in fact things have gotten worse and tbh, when i have major stressful setbacks in life, my body and brains’ response is to just. not. do anything. just shut down. intense fatigue, inability to focus on literally anything because the background level of stress is so high.
#bro im gonna cry#fucking got blacklisted from one of the largest rental car companies in this country and it is apparently#impossible to get off the 'do not rent' list#whats making me more upset is that i literally called them the day the windshield cracked i got things sorted out before i even dropped the#car off and still shit is so far out of my control and now i'm stuck with all these repercussions that shouldn't have happened if my#insurance that i pay a hell of a lot of money for wasn't so incompetent#bro apparently even my ROOMMATES can get blacklisted for sharing an address with me#worse yet payment has been sent out but the company is still going 'fuck you pay me killyourself never talk to us again once u pay this'#i can't get ahold of the DRU person in charge of my claim on their end to find out what happens#so it might end up going to collections anyway which will perma fuck up my credit score which i've been trying. so hard. to raise.#being an adult is a fucking nightmare i want to sleep i can't focus for longer than 5 minutes on anything before i start getting that dread#its so frustrating i can't enjoy my hobbies i can't enjoy my work (which is going well right now) bc i'm so stuck on this i need this to go#away so i can regain my brain's normal functioning and yes i have anxiety this is the worst it's been in a while though#anyway sry for the venting i'll be fine it'll be fine my insurance WILL pay for this and things will be fine (probably) once that goes thru#not that it didn't add to my stress enough that my bp probably took another year off my life lbr#personal stuff#delete later i think#DO NOT rent a car without taking the damage waiver it doesn't matter how much it costs or if you have insurance just take the damage waiver#don't be me

i hate having so many creative projects planned, but not having the money to make those projects actually happen :(
#just. blegh#i was gonna work on making an oddbody furby but it'll probably cost $40+ to make it#and i have some cosplay/costume stuff i wanted to do but that'll probably cost even more#even the smaller projects like painting on my denim jacket are out of the picture bc i dont have the money for new acrylic paints#my mom just got a lot of money but i feel awful asking her for anything that isn't strictly necessary. and even then i still feel guilty#i couldn't imagine willingly asking her to buy me fabric or paints when i can barely ask her for necessities without feeling so guilty -#- that i get genuinely nauseous

hghhhhh green
(mostly green. i recognize it's not FULLY green. but it's green enough to make the brain happy.)
#it's me#the neuro diverges#two textured and two un-textured#we're getting money which would cover the cost of this which is why we're willing to spend the money on four different tangles#the fuzzy one is the only one we're nervous about because we've heard the flocking can come off but tbh it'll still be alright as a fidget#even if the flocking comes off

As difficult as it can be, if you haven't tied your livelihood or personal brand to a franchise in some way, i think it's best to cultivate a willingness to disengage from installments of an ongoing property that disappoint and upset you.
it's hard. ime, it's more energizing to hate on something that makes a mockery of your beloved. but like. idk to me, it feels like holding onto a cursed sword. it's more effective. but more draining. it disincentives putting it down the more you use it.
it's hard to tell with mixed installments where you like some parts and hate others, and god knows there's like a million memes about how good stuff gets a 'nice' before moving on and mediocre stuff that didnt live up to its promise inspires the most passionate fanbases in the world. but staying in a fandom while actively hating the current material is a terrible space for me and makes me feel worse about the time i spent on it and my own inability to let go and accept the end. if i'm at the point where i can only enjoy fanworks and not the thing itself, then i brought her back wrong and she was better dead.
ymmv tho.
#weirdly inspired by watching 3 mcyters in a row hate the stupid movie trailer then go 'well i gotta give it a chance' like#lads i know that's your job. the cost is sunk and this is how you make money.#but me personally. no i will not watch the fuckass overly-realistic minecraft movie#many such cases#i would have never guessed in my mid 20s which interests would still be there in my 30s and which would be long gone#i don't even like podcasts anymore! that was my whole fucking personality!#and yet i still watch one of the same lp channels regularly and still follow 2 others on and off#the fandoms i stayed in too long are the ones i feel actively bad about. the resentment stuck#like idk you can't really ask a tournament standard player to just not engage in new sets#but if you're a kitchen table player... no one's making you buy and opine on sets you can't stand#it'll be a distant memory with a calendar year i prom

I was curious about what my wage and time, plus materials, would bring the cost of a foundation paper pieced and handquilted king size quilt to...and...
Okay, anyone willing to pay this amount will be enough to convince to make something this...outrageous. it'll close commissions for a year or two, and require frequent breaks so I don't burnout.
$23,800 USD.
$27× 900 hours + cost of materials (batting alone will be around $100 for high quality, 25 yards of fabric will be about what i need, i'll kill several rotary blades with all the cutting, and likely go through at least two spools of thread) = final cost
That amount of money will be what it takes to convince me to make this. If you're willing to pay for one of these now, hmu. I'll make the listing.
If you want just a king size quilt top, that's still $6150 USD. I'll need around 25 yards of fabric, a couple spools of thread (or a cone), and two to three rotary blades. This will take around 200 hours for traditional piecing. Foundation paper piecing will add another 100-200 hours easily because I have to print each section of each block, cut them out, fold along the seam lines, cut all the fabric, sew the fabric to the paper, press each seam, trim, rinse and repeat many times, sew the blocks together, remove the paper (sooooo many pieces), make the rows, and sew the rows together. So foundation paper piecing will bring the top to $11,650. For just the quilt top.
If you're 100% certain you want a king size quilt, and you're able to pay, let me know. I'll put the commission listing up for you, and promptly close commissions until further notice.
Money is good incentive.
#words from the artist#disabling reblogs because this is still making my notifications explode and it's exhausting
