Okay, first of all hello! I hope you are having a great day.
Secondly, remember how you said that Price and Alejandro are the only MW2 guys that could be sugar daddies?
I’d like to add two more, Graves and Valeria. Graves is the CEO of a private military company, I bet you that man is loaded. I’d say more about my love for him, but I know that In the Fandom you kinda either love him or hate him, and idk where you fall 😭
Then Valeria, the leader of the mexican cartel, WE SAW that fucking house. Only stipulation would be time and danger. And honestly, my goal in life is to be a pretty and loved thing on her arm. I’d let her do whatever she wants with me 👀
Don’t even sweat it, we love Commander Phillip “Failgirlie” Graves here. (Also did you draw that?? That’s so funny ahhdhwufudhdh)
I did address Graves in the comments of that post, but I agree, Graves would definitely like to be a sugar daddy. I’m of the opinion however that he probably isn’t drawn to people who want to be sugar babies—he just finds people with his same ambition and drive more attractive. Naturally, those people would object to being taken care of, so Graves’ sugar daddy dreams can’t really be realized. He can, however, get away with being very very generous at Christmas and birthdays.
And VALERIA. I can’t believe I forgot her, she would absolutely be a sugar daddy (yes, daddy). Taking care of her little wifey (gn), making sure they were spoiled rotten with everything they could ever want? Valeria to a T.
You’ll always get to have your hair done, nails done, staff to clean your house, people to cook your food, a massive closet full of Gucci, Balmain, Valentino. You want to vacation in Corfu, cariño? She’s already got the jet spinning up. Wanna see the northern lights this weekend? The entire hotel will be rented out, it’ll just be you and her (and some security she will make sure you never have to see). It snows diamonds at Christmas and rains your birthstone on birthdays. You only drive the safest, nicest cars on the market, if you even drive at all. Your name is at the top of every VIP list, anywhere you want to go.
Honestly out of any of the mw2 cast Valeria is really peak sugar daddy. She wants a pretty little thing at her side that knows nothing but comfort, love, safety, and ease.

When White (or allistic?) people travel...
I am gonna travel a bit next week. Well, "a bit" really means: I am gonna dip across the border for a few days into the Netherlands (I am living really close to the border) and bike around a bit. At least as long as the weather is gonna play along.
But it has reminded me of this one thing I always saw when I was traveling.
And I am to this day not entirely sure whether it is a white people thing or an allistic people thing. And that is this need to travel often into a fantasy land.
Now, there are those people who will travel to some hotel ressort and hang at the beach for ten days. Which is valid. Laziness is a myth. All power to you. Just consider to maybe not do it on indigenous land. (No, really. The gif is there for a reason. Do not travel to Hawai'i.)
But there is this other kind of travel happening too. The travel, where you wanna see this other country - but not as it really is, but this idealized fantasy version of it.
I most often saw this in relation with Japan. Because let's face it. A ton of people, who are into Japan, are into Japan because of anime and the stuff they have "learned" through anime, with maybe some Japanese self-mythology put into it when it comes to stuff like honor and samurai and what not. And then they travel to Japan and are very, very disappointed, because the Japan they arrive in is not anime!Japan, but just another place. Another speck of earth so to speak. Where just normal people live, not anime characters. Sure, there are cool shrines and temples to visit. But all in all it is just a place like any other. It is not fantasy.
But it is a thing I have seen with a lot of white people travelling. They do not want to visit a place but the fantasy version of that place. Like, with Hawai'i they wanna go palm beach, hula dancing, aloha and what not. They do not wanna go to a place where the indigenous population is exploitated and gets further and further pushed from their land. If they go to South Africa, they wanna go to this trendy place, watch some whales and what not, not see the rampant poverty and crime. Or when they go visit Greece, they wanna see that country with those nice ruins and stuff, eat some good food, and once again not be confronted with the poverty.
I still remember when I was a teenager and got send onto this Christian youth trip to Corfu, Greece. Now, it was knda funny, because it was a Christian youth trip - but our hostel was right next to the local brothel. But the pimp was actually a super nice guy, just so you know. Like, I got bullied on that trip by some of the other teens and at one time he just threatened those bullies to set his dog onto them, before inviting me and my friends over for dinner.
Now, the entire trip was two weeks and every day there was the option to go somewhere. Either to the beach or to see some sights. I did not go along. Partly because of the bullying, partly because I never got the idea of "seeing the sights". Instead I made friends with some local kids and hung out with them. At times I went with them on some trips they did with their families... And the irony is: I have seen much more of that island than anyone else on that trip. Just not... the ruins and stuff, that everyone else wanted to see. But I saw a farm where I got to taste some fresh honey, got a street dog to the vet, somehow ended up on a small fishing boat, was at a party where a kid got babtized, and visited a couple of villages that usually tourists just drive through. I learned a lot about the place and how the people live there.
And I do realize that it is not feasable for everyone from that group of 60 teens to just do that. I get that. But I also have to wonder... What is the value to visit the same ruin that has already been photographed like 2 million times?
Again, I get hanging at the beach. I do. But... looking at stuff that I can look at online? Yeah, no.
I guess what my rambling is aiming at...
Tourism kinda sucks. And even the entire idea, that it somehow helps the communities just does not really match the reality. Because the truth is that the money generated through communism mostly gets gobbled up by big companies, while the tourism at the touristy places also makes everything more expensive for the people who actually live their.
And tourists just do not want to see the people actually living there. They are not interested in the real place. Just in a fantasy. A fantasy that the tourism sector tries to uphold.
But it is... not really good, is it?
Like, hundreds of people or even thousands visiting either ruins or cultural heritage sites is not actually a good thing. It harms the environment and everything. And in the end it also hurts the people actually living around it. And they kinda have more of a right to be there than any tourist.
We really need to rethink how we travel and how we vacation. Because this isn't it.

as a teenager i used to sleep as much as i could. i wanted to dream, to have access to events and spaces that i lacked in real life (love, freedom; an erotic life). it was partly a space of wish fulfilment, as sometimes i could direct them towards what i hoped to see. but the fulfilment of my wishes was ultimately elusive as i found the person i most often hoped to dream of was the one person i couldn't summon in lucid or directed dreaming, no matter how hard i tried. often, i was chasing her in my dreams, going over and over the places where i might see her and coming away empty handed in dreaming and in life. and when she did come into my dreams, the dream relation was often hostile or a rejection. but dreaming, and she in my dreams, were touchstones or totems i searched for repeatedly for many years. the tension between the pursuit of satisfaction in dreams which could never be repeated in life, the belief in dreams as conveyers of meanings otherwise lost to me, and the powers of the unconscious to subvert, surprise, and overtake conscious desires.
in the last few days i have found myself sleeping much later than i normally do. when i wake up, i keep shutting my eyes and hoping to dream. this morning i got up to feed the cats and came back to bed. i am stressed and tired, having missed a (soft) deadline. i am feeling bad about the quality and value my work and my capacity to perform and complete it. many of the dreams have been erotic (but necessarily sexual) - charged three-way relations between my partner, myself, and an older woman as we all are on holiday in corfu or greece in a hotel that is narrow like a corridor and leads in a straight line directly out on to the shore and to the sea. there were other dreams too - large and well-populated dreams with bright colours and rich landscapes. a war memorial on a hill as a repeated location to return to in one dream, a locus of a trip repeatedly taken

I have been spoiled with years of off the tourist trail experiences if Greece. Years of tiny empty beaches, obscure ruins barely signposted, meals in taverns in the middle of god damn nowhere, staying in bizzar little inns, hotels aimed at traveling business men, or even just my dad's little apartment in the middle of a little town outside Athens.
So it's really weird to be in a tourist specific place. It's nothing to complain about. The staff are lovely, the food is so much better than we expected, the location is gorgeous. But it's clean and sanitised. It's Greek themed. We came through a gate to get in here.
Thing is since I was last in the real Greece dad left his job here, his boss died, the company packed up, Brexit happened, he had a heart attack and a cancerous kidney out, I broke my back, and mum's breathing got so much worse. So he's not holidaying with us, both me and mum are much slower than we used to be, and neither of us are in a position to drive in here. We came cause we wanted somewhere warm after a very hard year and a cold summer. And that has been provided.
And it is really nothing to complain about. There are English themed hotels in England where you turn up and you are greeted with tea and scones and they'll go out of their way to give you the English Experience you expect. There are places like this in Spain, and Italy, and France, and Germany. And people are either looking for it specifically or not looking for anything. This is a business place for scalping tourists and I am here with my savings to get mugged by the tourist institution 😂.
It's just not the Greece I know and there's a nostalgia for what it isn't for me. Not enough dirt. No little old local ladies bobbing in the sea at dawn. Where are the questionable souvlaki holes in the wall selling the best thing you've ever eaten in your life. Hell they don't even have a Goodies near here 😔.
They do a van in to Corfu town though, four times a day, so we'll have to go there at some point. Corfu has greek and Italian heritage. If I am feeling energetic some day I will have to go looking for the dirt 👀.
Mostly I just want spinach pie damn it.
