Jekyll and Hyde au where Hyde is literally just Jekyll in a wig. No one knows who he is or how Jekyll knows him. No one even notices they look alike except for one singular "hey he looks kinda like that Hyde guy" that gets ridiculed immediately. He drops the wig once and really quickly puts it back on before anyone notices

Could I get Legend in the D3 outfit for your ask game?

Slowly melting about this anon... Thank you so much, that's like my favorite thing to draw. I'm a puddle again.

Couldn't fight the urge to do the bunny duo together !!

Didn't notice for a while but their outfit is the colour of each other's eyes lmao

Thanks for the ask ♪♪♪♪ and sorry for the wait--

Landlords are different from other jobs though, in that their income comes mostly from rents, in a way it doesn’t for say, entrepreneurs.

yes, and landlords as a drag on the economy has been pointed out by economists foundational to the field, like ricardo and smith, but as long as you have private real property of any sort, and as long as leasing that property is legal, you will have some quantity of landlords in your economy

the question is, what specific negative outcomes are you looking at and wish to avoid? because only once you begin to identify those can you begin to make real policy decisions. is not enough housing being built? are rents rising too fast? is it too hard to enter the property market? do you just want to increase the rate of home ownership? these are all, like, operationalizable. you can do something with them.

"landlords are parasites" isn't, really. it has a negative effect in both directions: it raises the hackles of anybody who owns property (which, again, unless you're in favor of mass expropriation and/or collectivization of housing, is something a nonzero number of people in your society will own), and it doesn't suggest any specific policy solution, besides "do things which hurt landlords' interests."

but hurting landlords doesn't actually necessarily help everybody else! there are lots of ways to make life worse for random groups of people that do not, in fact, help society at large. and the policies that do in fact make a difference very often aren't, like, satisfying as revenge. they're boring, unsexy stuff like improving tenant protections, or encouraging tenants' unions, or building social housing, etc., etc.

here’s another thought i have on the finale which isn’t very high stakes but has been driving me Fucking Nuts:

re: the fight between jamie and roy about keeley. i thought it was stupid and lazy writing that did a disservice to everything else that dynamic was and encompassed. there was so much more there and THAT was how we closed it out eh? like kudos to her for going ‘uh, no’ and kicking them out, that was a good call, but the whole thing sucked so bad generally and wasted time we could’ve spent doing literally anything other than the most cliche, juvenile, classic ‘women are a prize for men to fight over’ thing. however what’s annoying me even more is the way people who DID like it are responding to people who didn’t.

i keep seeing people be like “ACTUALLY them fighting over her was fine and normal youre all just babies who can’t handle that sometimes people REGRESS and sometimes people are MEAN and UNFAIR and UNKIND” and it’s like nah man it’s because they avoided doing this shit entirely for three fucking years and then were like do you want the cliche love triangle bullshit you dodged the whole time heaped on you at the last second when it makes the least sense? sure, here you go!

is it regression if it’s something they never did in the first place? i think not! and characters can be mean and unfair and cruel and whatever and it’s not the end of the world, i actually think it’s very interesting, and THAT’S not the part i find out of character, it’s that they literally never did this before and now after EVERYTHING else, after how clear it was how gravely fucking serious jamie was about the video leak, this is the kind of shit they’re throwing at each other about this? after repeatedly subverting expectations of classic love triangle nonsense? it’s tired and it’s lazy and it’s the cheapest option and nobody is gonna be able to change my mind by telling me i just don’t understand that People Can Be Unfair Sometimes.

Found a place that does ridiculously high-quality food, like, you can taste how carefully and well made it is with every bite, the texture is perfect, the flavours are harmonic, and yes, it's a little expensive, but for the moment of spiritual bliss that occurs when you get to eat something that perfect, it's worth the price and then some.

So, of course, every review is complaining that the food is too expensive for the portion sizes and they should make it cheaper... Sigh. No appreciation for the perfection in each bite at all. ):

my ancient greece/greek mythology obsession has evolved so much its insane

discovered it when i was like 6 -> wrote a "book" about it when i was 8 -> read percy jackson at 12 -> wrote an essay on nemesis in high school -> percy jackson obsession came back full force -> read the illiad & prometheus bound -> converted to hellenic polytheist -> talking to my highschools guidance counselor on how im gonna get a phd in classical studies

telling random people that they probably have to shampoo their hair less than they think is a thankless job that no one listens to me for but someone must be a prophet that walks the earth

is the plant shop thing actually a wattpad cliche? tbh i thought itd be cute for mochi to run a lil plant nursery

it is but i might use it anyway AHAHA the wattpad cliche is usually like... "she worked a humble flower shop/coffee shop/bookstore when he walked in... 😌"

usually what fits with the story will just.....come to me. or click with me in a way that makes me go OH THATS PERFECT THATS THE ONE!!!!! and that feeling hasnt happened with mochis shop yet so im not sure what ill do!!

the plant shop is definitely a good backup though,.,, mochi could just grow/sell plants that she could also use as spell ingredients,,.. "if you put this house in the south corner of your bedroom it will bring good studying and grades"....

the idea of work study is so dumb to me. my financial aid office just emailed me like “btw u have exhausted ur work study but we are gonna give you a one time increase so you can be paid longer for the semester” so….you are going to continue paying me to do my job….of working for ur university… do you want me to say thank you or

If you don't mind second hand books and just need to own a book instead of borrowing from a library use bigwords.com!

It's a search engine that scores multiple websites to find the cheapest options for books. It also gives the option to buy all books from one website or multiple websites depending on how much your willing to spend. I used it in college for textbooks and now use it when I really want a physical book. Just be carefull with textbooks because you might be given an international edition which quite possibly will have different questions than the one your university uses. Infos usually the same though!

Libraries are still 100% cheaper but you'd be surprised what you can get if you just don't default to Amazon

HAVE PEOPLE NOT HEARD OF LIBRARIES??????? They are 100% cheaper than AMAZON
