This whole not having money thing is getting old tbh

#just saw a really nice old book I really want #but it's far too expensive #and i can't afford it especially with spending money on Christmas gifts #i just want to be able to buy things I like #everything is so expensive

2023 reads

The Princess and the Fangirl

YA contemporary prince & the pauper set at a convention

follows a fan who wants to save her fave character from being killed off, and the actress playing her who’s desperate to be free of the intense franchise

when they’re mistaken for each other they instantly hate each other - but after a script is leaked, they swap places to try solve each of their problems - and start to see the fandom from the each other’s perspective

light (since they know each other for like 2 days) f/f & m/f

this is so deeply mid-2010s fandom tumblr. lmao.

#a little cringe yet nostalgically entertaining....#The Princess and the Fangirl #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #i read this bc i was looking for available audiobooks and this was vaguely on my backlist of aspec books #bc the sapphic girl is supposedly demi-coded - tbqh there’s like maybe one and a half lines that vaguely implies it #I don’t feel like it’s worth recommending on this basis (and since the thing is set over a weekend I would call her greyspec not demi)#it definitely has the silly drama that i praised the last 2 ya contemporaries i read for not having skdjgkjf #the fangirl mc is. a little bit of an insufferable tumblr fangirl. also her parents are con parents so maybe it's inevitable #there’s a ‘my makeup is my armour’ moment….lmao #it kinda talks about misogyny directed at female stars but not about racism which. felt like a bit of a gap #FAR too many HP references.#‘this only happens in kdramas or YA novels’ beloved. this is a ya novel #would have loved more of the artist alley content LMAO #i will say the artist gets an 'ugh too expensive I'll just print it' comment and just shrugs it off without bitching about it. unrealistic #one thing about the AA is ppl love to bitch about things privately LMAO #there's no way you could spend a weekend with someone you've known for years online and not realise it's a different person...#there’s definitely some stuff about fandom and fan culture that’s still relevant #anyway. I think this is more entertaining to read Now than it would have been when it came out (which was only 2019 tbf but..)#and I wouldn’t have read it not on audio.#the thing is people are like ‘wahh pop culture references will age your book!!!!’ but everything ages every book.#and having a book be such an encapsulation of a certain time can be fun and interesting actually…….#obviously sometimes it can be an uncomfortable way (the hp refs in here were a bit) but like.#you know what i mean. nostalgia. that WAS how things were. still are in some cases. why not have books reflect that #will say im so glad i spent those tumblr fangirl years mostly with 0 local conventions LMAO #by the time i started doing cons regularly (not long before i started selling in AA) i was a bit more mature #have to say when it references TAZ i had to pause and laugh for a second akjfhjkds

thank cod we're not in high school english anymore

#wordstag #I HATE HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH . ENGLISH CLASSES IN GENERAL REALLY.#It's like what do YOU think about this piece? 😊 but I'm going to debate you on your interpretation until you belive mine #the only valid interpretations are the ones by critics so on and so forth. Also I'm going to painstakingly explain everything and #make jokes at your expense. Because I Want To.#like why do you think the curtains are blue? What does the color blue mean? Could it be sadness? Rebirth? There is no right answer #but there totally is. Btw. Read my mind. Here's a multiple choice quiz. What do you mean the truth doesn't neatly fit into #one of these 4 answer choices? Maybe you're looking too far into it. Yeah that's one way to interpret it but you're wrong because I said so #If I disagree with you I'm going to give you a bad grade. Mayv3 you should reread the text

i never want to hear about swifties getting bullied again. some of you are saying the most vile and cruel shit about a situation that to this day we know nothing about all because of a song and a time it was written which is fucking weird. swifties deserve any hate they get from the media because the hatred some of you are willing to inflict on others for a joke is disgusting.

#yeah and maybe this is too far but holy fucking hell #why after months and months and MONTHS of belittling this man (WHO HAS SAID AND DONE NOTHING) do you all continue to make jokes at the #expense of this guy who just dated your favorite pop star?#why is everything about her life and her new relationship brought back to this guy?#why can none of you see that what you’re doing is cruel and literal bullying and online harassment #imagine the whole world posting constant ‘jokes’ finding clues in your past relationship and exploiting it #and saying it was terrible and demeaning your character across multiple platforms #literally shut the fuck up!#and no this isn’t nice but so many of you just keep on with it and are so mean #and like are you not tired? you’re not defending anyone #maybe i’ll delete this in the morning or when i inevitably get death threats cause some of you are genuinely not above anything but whatever #it’s all so ridiculous just stop talking about it it’s not funny and never was

i’m so tired and angry i can’t believe it’s just the beginning....

#i cried 3 times since yesterday #my first exam is in 2 days #and the last one.. in a month.#it's not even about the exams tbh #but spending HALF of my monthly pay on train tickets and one (1) night at a hotel was a bit too much for me lol #and i had to make many calls to friends/family to find a place i could stay at #bc train tickets are so expensive i literally can't afford staying at the hotel too #and my friends were so helpful and lovely #but first i wanted to ask my uncle.. bc yk. close family. that guy is even my godfather. and he treated me like shit lmaoo i got so angry #i cried at work bc i couldn't believe this #like we know each other well i know he's not the kindest person. but his reaction?? honestly that might be the last time i talked to him #sorry for being so vague i don't have the energy to tell you what happened sdfghjs #but anyway. can you believe i'm literally less stressed abt the actual exams than i am about the commute/accomodation?#but ngl i am also stressed abt the exams. a bit. mostly because some of our professors still haven't sent us the materials for exams #and one of them in on sunday lmaooo this is fine i can memorize everything in one evening. right?#also bc my previous uni experiences literally traumatized me. but it's gonna be FINE i'm gonna be FINE i just need to. focus #i'm taking a day off tomorrow and i hope it will help me calm down #k.txt #sorry for losing my mind on main <3 if you've read this far i'm sending you a kiss <3

*grumbles* i understand the physics that would lead to planes having a maximum safe landing weight

i do not understand the thought process behind not making that a plane's maximum weight period

#three cheers for thorough investigation #surely someone has considered #that there are a ton of reasons #why a plane might need to land #before having used up a significant amount of fuel #so why on earth would they make a plane too heavy to land safely #that is just an utterly unnecessary risk #yeah yeah you can put more cargo on there #but if anything happens #and you need to get down fast you're just fucked #and even if you have some time #you're just dumping fuel all over the countryside to get the weight down faster #and both of those are going to be far more expensive and potentially dangerous #than loading a little less cargo?#like even if you refuse to clean up the fuel you spilled all over everything #if you need to bring the plane down right the fuck now #that excess weight is going to cost you at the very least a perfectly serviceable plane #and quite possibly the life of the crew #and that is a best case scenario #more likely there's also going to be serious damage to whatever you're landing on #like how is that a sensible risk/reward balance

hey if I like put a Kofi link or turned on tumblr tips uhhh would that be pathetic or a waste of time or anything ??? I can't take more commissions bc I still haven't finished the ones from January and my new car but I'm uhhhh. really. struggling right now.

#I've had to spend $50 so far trying tiget rid of a flea infestation bc my cat got outaide for literally less than 10 minutes 2 weeks ago #and it's a rent paycheck so I already only had $60 for gas groceries and any other spending this week #and I'm still struggling to pay off my vehicle registration and a few other fees I had to use my credit card for #I'm #honestly kind of scared bc once the student loan freeze ends #I will literally not make enough to survive #everything sucks a whole lot rn and I've been trying not to think about it too much #but I woke up covered in bites again today after 3 days without any signs of them and I couldn't just #not buy treatment #I got the botanical stuff last week bc it was cheaper but I had to cave and get the expensive chemical stuff since they came back #but the botanical stuff TOO bc I just washed my sheets Thursday and I cant use the chemical spray on them without washing them after and I #don't have money or spoons for the laundromat again

the only drive-in theatre anywhere near where i live (one of the last three in the province) is gonna be shutting down next year…

#something so tragic about losing places like this #like. there used to be a little theatre not far from where i live #that only got movies after they were already out of all the other theatres #& you could bring your own popcorn & drink containers and they’d fill them for the same price as their larges #with free refills #fucking loved it #it closed a while back though :/#feels like soon enough everything that isn’t a chain will be gone #my family’s business closed a few years ago #someone wanted to buy the land (and it was way too good a deal to pass up)#we weren’t like. forced to shut down cuz we couldn’t afford to stay open #but it’s still another closed small business yknow #that whole block is gonna be torn down for a condo i think #and i’m sure the apartments will be tiny and way too expensive because all the new apartments are tiny and too expensive #>400k for <400sqft fuck OFF #can’t have shit in (metro) vancouver #jx.txt

Tw: negative

Wish you could like... sue your depressed for all the time and money it costs to take care of it and anything else that results from it.

I never wanted depression so why do I need to pay for the things that make me not want to off myself? (Pills/therapy/etc.)

For the rest of my life I'll need to pay for the things that are gonna keep me alive because of something I cannot control. I can't just tell my brain 'hey, work properly so we don't wanna fucking die'

If I hadn't been depressed in school I would've planned ahead, I would have been better than where I am today.

I never thought I'd get to 18 and I'm gonna be 26 in April. I don't blame past me because they weren't doing well. Unmedicated. I don't wanna go back to that. It was scary. Actively thinking it's easier to die is fucking terrifying.

Living is so fucking expensive.

#tw suicide mention #tw suicide idealization #paid $400 today to take care of cavities that formed because I don't care enough about myself to floss amd brush every day #and this was just the first appointment out of three.#having no insurance fucking sucks why did my dental and vision end before life insurance?#i only have another two months of that and most of the antidepressants i take are gonna be too expensive #i have to get a new therapist because they don't take the only insurance I'm gonna qualify for #ik i never thought I'd make it this far but fucking hell i never thought it would be this bad #so many bills and it all just doesn't seem worth it #can't get a job have to take care of my 101 grandma who is miserable and actively prays for death (which ya know is great for ME to hear/s)#dads got cancer moms the only one working shes gonna be 67 and wanted to retire YEARS ago but can't afford to #no car so even if i could get a job i couldn't get there #everything is about fucking money #and i know people have it worse but that doesn't make my situation any better #I'm just so done..#tw negative

For anyone else who has been capital O obsessive over Wednesday's prom dress it's Alaia's 2020 fall ready-to-wear collection specifically look 8. If you were wondering.

#I have psychological problems #I have spent far too long trawling the Internet not only for this dress but what fucking fabric they use #Costume brain rot really came out to play #It's 2am and everything hurts I have been sitting in the same position for multiple hours #At first it was fine bc I was just screenshotting the show but then I googled it and found an interview w the designer #Who said it was alaia. So then I went to their site and found fuck all. So then I went to vogue. Had to make a vogue account.#Went through multiple collections (did not go in a logical order). Finally found The Dress. Set about finding fabric.#First I was like okay black sheer lightweight w a good shine to it. Found that. Let's find a brown underplayed or smthn bc it's kinda brown #Found that. Looked at the photos again and it's kind of two tone black and brown. Spend at least an hour looking for this through many etsy #Shops dodgy retailers and the most expensive fabric you will ever see. Only to look back and realise it has a slight pattern to it.#Give up and go to bed.#All this bc I wanted to make what is really quite a fuckin simple dress #I'm p sure now that I actually read things that it's an in house fabric and THAT makes me wanna murder #And SURE I could just make it in black but I'm a bit obsessed over the brown #And NOW I can't do the underlayer plan either bc then it's just too much yknow?#Idk idk it's my specific brand of mental illness coming out to play #So I thought I'd share my findings w the world you are welcome i am so tired goodnight.

yay weed

#the bin #i shoudk save my money but im not going to. this is the closest thing i have to antidepressants and actually effective pain killers so #whatever. it helps with my anxiety too. it helps with almost everything. unless im in a lot of pain and then it makes that pain way worse #if i have a more than minor headache then it makes that way worse and if something specific hurts really REALLY bad then its not good #but if not then it fixes most of my stuff. its temporary but it whaatever works :/ and the next day is usually pretty good too #its not THAT expensive. ive been getting the cheapest option around me and its not terrible. i wish i could have less but alas #i envy ppl who can do 10mgs and have it help and have a good time. i have 10mg and everything sucks #everything still hurts. my brain is still very much on. im just unable to see straight and my walking gets weird and my mouth gets dry #and nothing is enjoyable. it just sucks. 15 is ok but its not really worth it to me honestly. its kinda boring. if im soending this money #then it has to be good. better to have a much better experience than to save a little bit of money and have several less good ones #that are barely worth it anyway. hhh. my sister is being less weird abt it now at least.#i kinda fucking hate that this works so well but when i oull the 'it shuts my tourettes completely off' card ppl suddenly get very ok with #any amount i wanna have however often. its deeply insulting but also very expected. at least its convenient for me in this case #with my mom its not that insulting i guess. last time she was around mw very often my tics eere real bad and they were obviously very #unpleasant for me. but its mostly bc everything there was so stressful and overwhelming all the time and ut made it far worse #but shes actually pretty normal abt it. at leasts he is now #its rare that people are. ppl look at me like im inhuman. i try very very hard not to tic around people bc of this #the ppl im around rn dont look at me weird but ive hardly ever ticced in front of them.#getting high also helps my ocd so much which is huge. im glad when i move ill have a very not judgmental person to get it for me #at least my other older sister is very normal abt it. shes like yeha its ur body ur money ur choice. whatever man. and that s great.

we were too late to apply to a really good apartment we wanted and someone else got it and now i'm OTL

#there is no fucking way we're finding another apt on the top floor w that many rooms in that good of an area for our budget before july #also kinda :/ bc like. i forgot to ask for the app until like 30 minutes after the open house and then when i did she didn't send it to us f #for another 2.5 hrs??? so like. we had a delay from other applicants #(but also it's kinda my bad bc i'm so indecisive and stressed and didn't submit the app til midnight anyway OTL)#everything else is either too expensive for the space you get or too far away from everything or on the first floor which would make me par #paranoid about bugs/break-ins/etc;;#kcat talks

rn I’m getting through life by romanticizing the idea of me living in a bigger city (not like. new york sized but like just one of our bigger neighboring cities) and working as a librarian or library assistant there or something and having a quiet simply life and a regular routine that I go about

#deity dialogue #or like working at a book store #idk in my head it’s a simply cozy life it’s nothing big or special but it’s nice and comforting to me #I wear silly little outfits I go to nice shops in my spare time then I return home to sit in my room with fluffy and draw #that’s my dream #and I have enough money to live comfortably god #idk I fluctuate on things like #I do not wanna live where I live now like the white county I don’t wanna be here #but idk where else I’d go in the world like idk where to travel or where else to live #so I’d probably still be in the south and still close to where I live now but about an hour or so out of the way which isn’t too far #there’s more to do where I wanna live there’s more places to work more places to go for funsies more places to live etc #where I live at is just. I’m sorry it’s shit the whole area sucks as do the surrounding areas there’s nothinggggg #I don’t want to live here all my life I’m already miserable enough I don’t wanna be even more miserable by never leaving #and yeah the other place isn’t that far away but maybe I’d be happier there? in a place with more to do more people to meet etc etc #idk #I also am aware it would cost more but everything is already expensive may as well try somehow #if I can manage to save money and get a job in that city somehow then I could start saving more and then my roommates and I could move there #idk just agh. ideally I’d live somewhere even farther even more interesting and lively but again idk where I’d even go and I know my #roommates wouldn’t wanna go much farther than where we already have talked about for their own reasons #but I’m not someone who can live alone just too much fear and paranoia. my ideal living situation is to live with other people and we’re all #in equal standing and like have equal responsibilities and pay and manage everything equally which is what my roommates and I plan #those two would be able to live on their own fine and I envy that I’m just too anxious to be alone plus just. I can’t conceive being alone #I would be too lonely and depressed lmao I like having another persons presence ya know?#anyways idk why I’m talking so much in the tags but like I always do #I just want to live somewhere where I’ll be happy with people I like and working a job that doesn’t make me wanna kms and have enough money #to where I’m not constantly stressed about everything and can maybe even afford nice little things #it jsut feels like asking for any of that much less all of it is asking too much :(#I’m hashtag depressed about being alive
