I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain
*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#dc#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#tim drake#dick grayson#batfamily#...#wayne family adventures#that seems like something that could happen over there lmao#i already said babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre (NEVER FORGET STEPH CANONICALLY TOOK UP PIANO AGAIN. BATGIRLS 18)#but i can also picture her doing other odd jobs#harper teaches her some basic electrical engineering tips and Steph takes a couple jobs with her for some extra cash#in batgirl 2009 she was working off her tuition by working at her school library so maybe she can do something like that too as well#i like to imagine that off screen steph will work a job for a week then get paid then get fired bc she lets her vigilante life take over#meanwhile Tim's been a dilettant on his houseboat and dick has the leftovers of what alfred gave to him which he gave to charity(?)#and bruce has just been funnelling his last remaining dollars into batman until one day his bat bank account hits negative $50#bruce has been begrudgingly letting Talia pay his rent and groceries for the past few months (damian had to cooerce him into it)#anyway i wish they did more w broke Batman. not that bruce cant survive w/o money but hes usually like. in the wilderness in those scenarios#not a city that i just KNOW has an incredibly fucked up economic situation. i bet it costs $1.95 for bottled water in gotham#anyway. bad headcanons <3

In high school, from my junior year to my senior year (2021), I did a sustained investigation. I might have rambled to you guys about it (maybe?), but I wanted to share 4 pieces that I still adore
tldr my investigation was the use of frames in correspondence to an image
#mod rambles#high school was like forever ago#which is wild since I'll be graduating college in May 2025#and then off to do my masters haha#also man the GRE costs so much money dear lord#like thats so much money just to take 1 exam hahaha#the first and third image are self portraits#I have changed so much#maybe one day I will paint myself again#sorry to get so introspective on you guys#teehee#anyways! hope you have a good rest of your day!

Someone explain to me why people are so disappointed about Deku being quirkless at the end bc I genuinely don't get it
#i never liked the idea of him having so many quirks#the super strength would've been enough#and also i've said this before but i've never wanted the answer to the question “can i be a hero even if i'm quirkless” to be#“no not unless you get a special weird generational quirk”#the suit did cost a lot of money but because it's being used to collect data as of current (the end of the manga) that makes me think that#hero schools will start funding these suits for people who are quirkless or have “weaker” quirks who also want to be combat heroes#ofa was cool but after he acquired black whip i knew it wasn't going to be a forever thing#do you guys not like. feel. that#it's a “too good to be true” type storyline. it makes him ridiculously overpowered. you guys thought it would be a forever thing????#bnha#boku no hero academia#mha#my hero academia#sorry you can criticize the ending but i Will defend deku's ending specifically because i liked it.#i don't think he needs a bunch of quirks to be a cool loser nerd#bnha spoilers#mha spoilers#for anime onlys

when i was younger I thought that private school and boarding school were the same thing, and also that they were only for kids who were too bad to attend normal school so their parents gave up and sent them away.
this led to someone online attempting to brag about going to private school to me and 11 year old me only thought "Damn, it sucks their parents don't love them."
#it was on like neopets or gaia online i think#they were trying to brag about how smart they were because they went to a private school?#and i was like. this is a non-sequitur. why are you telling me you got kicked out of good school and got sent to shitty school#my logic was that schools that cost money must be only for bad kids#because you have to pay them to let your kid in. because your kid is so hopeless and bad#so its like a punishment#because you're costing your parents money

man ur so lucky that ur uni offers language classes. we have to take them from the uni across the street if we wanna take em >.> the only languages my uni teaches is programming languages :P
i want to get better at jp but i am So bad at studying >.>
wah kinda but not rlly lucky? i wanted to take mandarin due to the fact i took two semesters in hs but they don't have it so jp was my next bet since i didn't want to learn the other few they offer really ^^;
also idk if this will sound weird but if you want to we could study sometime together ^-^
#box's collection#and before you ask. the mandarin lessons i kinda had to beg the school to let me take#because the program they had costed money for students to use it so after my second semester i wanted to ask my counselor to take higher#classes but didn't get to uuuu

love this part of my life where the things that are difficult but challenging and good for me are things i can stop and skip and halfass, but the things that are difficult and painful and pointless are the things i have to live with no matter what
#school and home life are too much to handle so i skip school#because i cant kick my parents out#and appartments cost money#and i dont have a car to sleep in#i could maybe try to dig up my old childhood tent but that brings a whole host of logistic questions + im scared and it's difficult#anyway. it's fine. it's cool. i just have to hold on until i graduate high shcool and then ?????#find a way to live without my parents money OR scholarships#all for some nebulous end goal of having a job (the only field i'm interested in and good at offers two options:#to become an academic#or to become a freelancer#i do not have the fortitude to be an academic and being a freelancer is convoluted and pays like shit)#i might've spent 24h without my parents occasionally if i spent the night at a friend's place once or twice recently#but besides that the last time i've gone 48h without my parents was when the mental health center organised a week camp uhhhh...#two summers ago#incredibly good for my mental health as you can see#god i remember like... years ago. around 13yo maybe or 14. a guy. i dont know if he was a mental health professional or like social cases#but anyway he told me ''you're too afraid to be away from mommy and daddy'' and it made me want to rip his eyes out#several other people have implied or suggested that too over the years and it's just#am i too dependant on my parents? yes. will it be difficult to take my independance? yes.#does it means i don't both rationally recognize and feel that this is really fucking unhealthy and hindering for me#on top of being unpleasant?#FUCK NO#i want out my guy. there's just not many opportunities for an already mentally ill teenager#now that i'm eighteen i have to grapple with the logistical problems of the money needed and how to continue my education#and im sure a billion more if i start searching a little more seriously#perhaps i should kill myself that way i don't cost anyone any more money#broadcasting my misery#vent

my cousin just started her first year at Brown (that ivy league in rhode island) and I had this dream I was facetiming her while she was in her dorm and we were talking about our plans for the future. and when I told her the college I was planning to attend she started laughing at me and said that school is gonna get shut down in a couple years and I'm gonna have to transfer somewhere else 😑 it was very realistic
#it's funny bc I told my mom those plans irl and she said she didn't recommend taking that path.....bc she had tried the exact same thing#meanwhile (also irl) the private uni my sister went to has offered me like $30k to attend but I fear it'll just be high school all over lol#I don't wanna speak to anymore nepo babies or child prodigies </3#also all that scholarship money......and the remaining tuition is the same amount it costs to just attend a community college instead#ig theres ur reminder to not stress over college applications :D even dumb bitches like me can get accepted. paying for it is an issue tho

Considering the. Ahem. Ways this year has gone, I've not been thinking about it all that much, but. I did start this year with the motto of Year Of Unfucking My Life. With a few goals involved in that.
I got an official adhd diagnosis, as well as a diagnosis for PCOS. Other diagnoses in progress. Gotten adhd meds and birth control to regulate periods. I've gone back to school and I'm keeping up with it better than ever before. I've even been working on practicing driving, something I've been largely neglecting since I first got my driving permit, um... 11 years ago...
I just need to actually Get my license. And I need to get it before the end of the year. If I can accomplish that, then I'll say the Year Of Unfucking My Life was successful.
#speculation nation#i had some pretty major negative And positive influences for this goal of mine.#primary negative influence of course being my dad abruptly dying.#but that also led to the primary positive influence of the life insurance payout that's letting me just focus on school for my final year.#it's like a monkey's paw curl kind of moment. i got a genuinely astounding amount of money#more than enough to live off for a year+ and pay off the rest of my schooling.#with this i have finally exited the purgatory of part time school full time work to pay my way through school#a setup that led to endless stress (both physically and mentally) and suffering grades.#failing some classes and taking longer bc part time Anyways. locking me into years and years of this perpetual fucking Hell.#ive escaped it. school is so so so much more manageable when i dont have to work a job. im actually keeping up with my assignments.#for once theres no uncertainty about passing any of my classes. i Will pass them all. and i expect As in most if not all of them.#it's been fucking Amazing. everything i couldve wanted. and it came with the low low cost of losing my father when i was only 26.#... 'low' being sarcastic here of course. he was the 2nd worst person i couldve lost in my life. second only to my sister.#the 2nd worst grief i will Ever experience. bc he was my Good parent. hes the very reason i have a future at All.#and losing him fucked me up Severely. im still working on recovering. i kind of figure i always Will be.#thank god id already been taking spring semester off bc that would've been Horrible to go thru while in school.#i honestly probably would've just withdrawn from the semester. theres no Way id have kept up with it#given how damned BUSY those first few weeks after were. between funeral prep and inventorying and packing up his house.#so fucking much involved in settling an estate. and im the lucky one in that my sister's been handling all the legal shit.#so i simultaneously was dealt one of the most severe blows i ever Will be dealt#while also being given probably the biggest boost i'll ever get in my life.#if everything goes well with graduating and getting an IT job then i'll never want for money again.#considering there was a time early last year when i got as low as literally $7 in my bank account. this is a pretty big deal.#it's just... strange. the ways things go in life. this has been a very strange year for me.#just doing my best to use this boost to the best of my ability. even if it feels like im taking advantage of his death.#it's what he wouldve wanted me to do.

being a musician is just a little bit silly. i have 5000$ worth of fancy tubes with holes in them. i make noise with them. sometimes i get very very sad when they don’t make the noises i want
#bluejay.txt#music school moment#sometimes i make the right noises with them and get lots of scholarship money for it (<-manifesting more)#my hole tubes sound very expensive but that is the LOW END of how much i could get by with in music school#i know many people whose tubes w holes/boxes w strings cost well over 15000 for just one. mine are about 5000 and that’s two

catching up on well there’s your problem podcast bonus episodes, thinking about cars a lot, and a fucking fiat would serve 99.999% of my car needs perfectly well. i would be perfectly happy driving a little tiny fiat! they’re fun to drive! i got a subaru hatchback bc i knew i was moving cross country soon and wanted reasonable cargo space, and i wanted a four wheel drive vehicle for the rest of my time in w mass. i have needed to rent or borrow a truck Twice outside of major apartment moves.
however! with all these fucking pavement princess trucks in houston, where the hoods of these giant fuckoff trucks are a full head above my car’s roof, im genuinely afraid that an entire fiat would fit completely within their front blind spot and i would be squished!!!
#i miss the 94 toyota rav 4 i had in high#school every fucking day. tall enough to feel safe around trucks. great fuel economy. could fit So much from the feed store in there.#i don’t remember what the wood shaving bale record was but i used to drive home with that thing Packed and two more bales in the front seat#the subuwu is doing pretty okay but making a Noise and we don’t have Mysterious Noise money rn#no lights are on i hope it is simply a belt or the loose bumper#ALSO!!! i can get 300 miles to the tank on the subuwu and that’s with fairly inefficient city driving#cannot begin to imagine what the trucks cost to fill up#do i feel superior for having a small car? yes#do i feel Safe? no

see I can’t accept charles’ comic background and socioeconomic status as canon for the show because if I did that would mean the whole group would be a bunch of rich kids and that’s a horrifying concept
#ranging from vaguely upper class (niko and charles via comic logic) to presumably quite wealthy (edwin) to straight up ultrarich (crystal)#well off but doesn’t own a mansion -> owns a mansion -> owns several mansions in several countries#but yeah that aside. I don’t like the idea of him being raised upper class or even upper middle and yes I know he went to a private catholic#school that presumably costs a decent amount of money but for one we don’t Know how much exactly by that point in time (I’m assuming it was#more prestigious and expensive back in edwin’s day) and it’s not like middle class or even working class people can never afford#to send their one (1) kid to catholic school. like that’s really not too unusual. I know this is an american example but im thinking about#lady bird and her catholic school situation- her family was financially unstable and still paid for Catholic school because it was (in their#opinion) the best offering for an education in the neighborhood (and as someone who lives in the same city in the same Area of the same#city I can tell you that that choice does make sense even for a non-catholic. the public schools round here can be uhhhhhh rough)#so im seeing charles’ situation sorta like that#his dad seems like the type to want him ‘kept in line’ and ‘whipped into shape’ and I think he’d pay for that if he could manage it#idk something about charles is just……he has an appeal by being the Normal Kid amongst them. not raised as anything special. not having all#his needs met. never expecting to do anything super grand with his life. just a city kid yknow#anyway SOMEONES gotta know how to cook. I don’t think crystal or edwin have ever had to cook for themselves in their lives and niko seems to#live on instant ramen and i mean I bet she can cook very basic japanese meals but that’s about it#please for the love of god tell me charles learned some stuff from his mom and can cook an adequate meal#I know ghosts don’t eat but shut up#rambling#charles#dead boy detectives spoilers

you have no right to throw shade at redberryterf for having the money to travel when you yourself have cosplayed as poor for several years when in fact you lived in the states, the uk, and now germany and get to study in these countries as well. your parents likely paid for your studies as well and paid your mental health care. so shut up about wealth privilege
wait u think studying in a public university in germany makes me rich?? hahahaahahah 😭😭😭
#i went to public school in the US & we lived with my american aunt#i didnt have money when in an abusive relationship in the UK bc my ex was actively stealing from me#i also never pretended to be poor 💀 but ftr i have not ever had the money to travel to 34 different countries#anyways i love that having the money to travel for leisure is being compared to .. getting an education?#at a public uni? where my overall education will cost me less than 1k?#anonymous

No, because I can see Jonathan, Nancy, Will and Mike begrudgingly sharing an NYC apartment from 1993-1995 so clearly that when it doesn't happen in canon I'm gonna be upset
#they're saving money but at what cost#each other's sanity that's the cost#in my head the apt is Jancy's but Will moves in for college and then Mike moves in after he finishes school#Jonathan and Nancy are fully married btw#They also get like two cats#and Byler only moves out bc they want a dog#“where's EL” you shout in Chicago living with Lucas Max and Dustin obviously#she visits on long weekends and sleeps in the darkroom/office/guest room#stranger things#Byler#Jancy#Jonathan Byers#Nancy Wheeler#Will Byers#Mike Wheeler

brother i cannot watch shows (fiction or reality shows) that feature people around my own age (aka early 30s). So many people have already been around the world, own their own companies, or at least have been in their jobs/pursuing their passions for 10-20 years, so they have all this experience and stories, and here i am feeling like a fucking 16 yr old cause i've never lived. I feel so stupid and childish all the goddamn time.
#skip talks#i was a very introverted kid#but if i'd been presented with realistic opportunities... i absolutely would've gone for them#but there were no opportunities. I never got the chance to do fucking anything.#because everything cost money that my parents couldnt afford#and by the time i got out of high school i genuinely though completing a bachelors degree would get me out of here#but it didnt. there was no work experience and no opportunities for distance students#i envy people who ''make things happen''. I'm not one of those people. i really needed guidance in my younger years#really needed someone to help me figure out HOW to pursue my dreams#instead i just got my parents judging my dreams and saying they're not realistic -#while simultaneously not offering any alternatives#sorry it's my midday mental breakdown time#i just want to live.....
