We've got $75 currently going towards car repairs! once we reach the first $100 I will draw an OC without putting them on kofi first!
Reminder that you can commission me or buy something from the shop!
Also to anyone who donates $5 or more, I'll make you a special coloring page, if you donate $20 or more I'll draw you a profile picture (if you want)
Again thank you all so much for helping as much as you have!

It was Maid Day today yesterday a week ago so I got struck by inspiration to draw the worsties, and it ran away from me into a whole AU where they’re coworkers at a maid cafe. She’s a med student & this is just a part time job, and this is his depression job while he gets his life back together. He needs something he can be workaholic about to forget what it’s like having a personal life and personal issues. He’s actually the accountant, but the new hire janitor (Izutsumi) doesn’t show up for half her shifts and is a sloppy worker, so he gets the extra work of doing her job on top of his because he’s undervalued and overworked. Of course, janitors also have an uniform to keep the aesthetic cohesion as they go about cleaning the place, of course.
Senshi’s the part time cook you only see slivers off, he’s kind and warm when you do see him and have a chat but most shifts he’s in and out the kitchen without a trace. Laios and Falin are regulars because Falin and Marcille are besties & in the same med school, Laios accompanies Falin as she visits her friend at work and gets hooked on the food. Chilchuck has to remind Marcille to work instead of chatting with Falin for an hour, and next thing he knows she’s distracting him from work too. That’s it that’s the AU. Inspired by this idol AU fanart a bit <3
This was not meant to be birthday gift but well…… Happy bday Chil!!!
Read from left to right
#Dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#Chilchuck tims#marcille donato#spoilers#dunmeshi au#Maid cafe au#Marchil#Workwife marchil save me.

I hate those hats sm I will miku miku beam them out of existence#Marcille does change her hairstyle everyday btw#they don’t get back together btw she goes you haven’t talked to me in 4 years and he immediately goes YOU haven’t talked to ME in 4–#i mean ehem i’m sorry haha… while Marcille is like 4 years?! 4 years…#Mei only did it bc Fler has been getting jittery again kept sighing#I wanted to draw Chil with a car key at his belt but it wasn’t meant to be#idk if marchil ever gets together in this one it’s an eternal summer coworker with tension situationship au#romance is when you slowly deteriorate his work ethics so he starts skipping on his worktime to spend it at the front messing around w you#once he’s blessedly in the office and he hears this huge crash and the Marci just goes ‘…… Chiiiiiil?’ cue sigh and having to repair#the coffee machine. So many lil comics i couldn’t indulge myself to draw save me#shoutout to the time as a cashier in training at a convenience store I was left by my coworker who was supposed to wash the greasy chicken#oven but didn’t so I had to clean it for the first time myself while I was alone in the store and was also supposed to man the front#Shoutout to my convenience store’s accountant helping us with cashier duties often when there was less job to do ty ty#Understaffed struggles are so real#People also call Chil a manager because the boss is most often away so he just does everything#There’s no union but maybe one day he’ll get to overthrow the boss idk#The pay IS good at least#Modern au

I am trying really, REALLY hard not to fall into the trap of catastrophizing everything, to look on the bright side and attempt to plan ahead, but today is one of those days where it's just so fucking hard to do that. All I want is to be able to have some cash in the bank to fall back on, but I can't even keep it long enough to have the ability to fall back on it in the future.
#bonezrattling#america is a place that is built specifically to keep you from saving any money in every way humanly possible#I have $700 in car repairs that I need done immediately and I don't even have half of that available in savings#but i need my car to work#but i need to work to fix my car#i have no family who can help me except my grandmother and she prides herself in using favors as blackmail to guilt trip people for favors#my only option is to get my boyfriend and his parents to help me pay for it and i feel terrible for even considering that#i'm so tired

I keep getting rejected from conventions that I've been doing for multiple years this year and I heard on Friday that I didn't get Scotland Comic Con, which I've relied on for the last two years to be able to pay my fucking rent over the winter when there's no events, and it makes me want to scream because what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?? I'm making new stuff reasonably regularly, I make really good sales when I get into cons, I go out of my way to be reliable and show up on time and do everything they want exhibitors to do, and it's just flat rejection after flat rejection, sometimes without even the courtesy of a spot on a waiting list or a cursory 'sorry, we got a lot of applicants and we've got limited space'.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't think I even am doing anything wrong, I'm just getting repeatedly fucked over by event organisers who just see me as a way of increasing their own ticket sales rather than a human being trying to make a living.
And, like, part of me gets that I've been doing this for a while and folks who are new to it deserve a chance to get a foot in the door, but my ability to be charitable runs out when the biggest convention in the country decides no, we don't have enough room in our fuck-off huge venue for everyone so bye, fuck you, that ~15% of your yearly income that you rely on making at this con is just going up in smoke.
I like doing conventions, I'm good at it and it's fun, but it's getting Really Fucking Stressful to have my ability to eat and pay bills decided increasingly arbitrarily by the same five events companies who don't seem to give the slightest shit about anyone.
And I don't know what to do about it because the reason I'm doing this is because I'm too fucking autistic to get a real job, and I got kicked to the kerb by the benefits lot a few years ago because that system's fucking broken too, and the more effort I put in the less work I seem to actually get and frankly I want to fucking break something
#not having a very good time right now folks#not getting into cons is just a fact of doing this job#but this one has really fucked me over#i don't know why i didn't get it because they don't tell you these things#there's no waiting list no nothing#two years i've done this con. three if you count 2019 as well#it's the biggest one in scotland it's 15 minutes from my flat#i can't afford to get to england so i Need this one to make a living#but fuck me apparently#i am Enormously screwed and i'm still too freaked out to work out what i'm going to do about it#and to cap it all off i had car and computer repairs to deal with this past week#and i don't have another con until the end of august#so i'm going to have to wipe out my pitiful savings just to make rent and bills until then#i could just about have survived if i knew i had that reliable income in october#but now i don't and i have no idea how i'm going to make it through the winter quiet season#AND i'm helping my flatmate out with food costs until her student loans start back up again#which i'm going to have to stop doing because i can't afford it anymore#so this fucks over both of us in the short term#i'm going to find a way to manage but i just. i need to scream for about a week first#personal stuff

finally got a job & then my car's engine immediately started smoking on the way home from meeting my supervisors & filling out tax paperwork. 🫠
#ctxt#well i got the job earlier this week but bc this dumb organization does things backwards#it wasn't until today that i confirmed that yes actually things are proceeding as normal & i should start in ~2 weeks#had to get my dad's help to limp my car to the fucking mechanic tho while he drove behind me to make sure nothing caught on fire#fingers crossed that it's just a coolant leak from a busted hose or something cuz i cannot afford any major repairs rn#i'm excited thoooo this'll be my first job in uuuuhhhhh 9 years? that isn't retail sales customer service or food service#it'll be more manual labor than i'm used to so sending up a prayer that my body will be able to handle it#but holy shit i get to more or less choose how many days i work and i just get to spend all day#organizing pieces of paper & then going around town putting them in various locations#it sounds like the dream#charlie vs mail

Um. A fee I didn't know I was being charged for from the service I order meds from just came out of my bank account and now I have negative money
Anyone wanna pay me to write or doodle things for them?? ;;w;; My Ko-fi is in my pinned post if so.
Just let me know exactly what you want (and who you are, so I can contact you here! Or you can DM me letting me know which request was yours) and I'll get right to it. I don't have a commission sheet or anything so just give what you can and I'll do my best to make it worth it.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get right now from those of you who can spare it!!
#when i asked for money for my volo microorganism it felt silly and i was half joking. this is serious though and i feel rly bad about it tbh#i don't mean to beg but like. PLEASE consider#seriously ANY little bit helps#just. god.#been in a depressive episode for months. can't get a job. my health is worsening. i can't eat because my throat muscles no longer work#can barely sleep lately which is making it harder to apply for jobs and stuff. just had to have my partner pay over 1k in car repairs that#were necessary but i couldn't afford myself. still have to do christmas shit. still have to schedule my wisdom tooth surgery.#this feels terrible. everything is going so wrong lately. not to bring on the pity party but like holy shit lmao#i'm in shambles lately and idk how much the overdraft fees will be but just knowing I might be fucked is already tolling on me so hard#shut up crisa

I decided to skip dinner with my family tomorrow. It’s both Easter and my birthday. I already said many times I don’t want to do anything for my birthday, but my parents are roping me into doing something anyway because of the holiday. Today my dad basically got very frustrated verging on angry with me because he thinks I’m not happy enough. He demanded I cheer up. My sister was asking if I got invited to her sister in law’s wedding or if I could babysit her daughter. I said I didn’t mind skipping to babysit because I barely know the couple and don’t really want to go to the wedding. She said I’m being unbelievably rude and twisted my words to say I was disrespecting her husband and don’t care about him.
I know if I go I’ll be unhappy. If I don’t go, my sister and father will say I’m being a brat and I’m immature and rude and whatever else. But I truly just don’t want to spend the evening with people who don’t like me. Say whatever you will about loving someone and liking them being two different things. They don’t like me. They wish I was different than I am. I’m sick of people getting mad at me on my birthday and I just don’t want to deal with it. So I’m staying home.
#explaining this to my mom will also be miserable#she may cry#she will get mad at me too#but I just don’t care anymore#my family does not value me#they do not like me#they wish I was a different person#and I’m just not#and I’m sick of trying to earn their respect or tolerance or anything else#my parents gave me $500 for my birthday to help pay for car repairs#taking it felt dangerous but I thought I was overreacting#I guarantee they try to use that ‘gift’ as leverage

Therapists have two genders:
Professional Asshole and
Well-meaning Incompetent
#color says shit#text post#replying to my therapist is the most frustrating thing in the world. ma'am you think you're building rapport with me?#I hate to tell you but you've been wildly unsuccessful if that's what you think you've been doing here.#stop trying to educate me about my bullshit diagnoses that I already know about from my years on the internet.#like. babygirl I'm over here trying to build up to feeling comfortable enough to talk about the six-layer trauma cake I've got going on#and you're over here showing me a diagram consisting of two concentric circles meant to convey the idea of self versus other#you're very nice and trying to be helpful but I don't want to fucking talk about the girlfriend I want to talk about the issues that matter#girlfriend is an experiment. the other shit is stuff that lives in our fucking soul. shit that made me into the weird person fragment I am#and I had to fight for an hour. therapist kept on scheduling us for half an hour. HALF A FUCKING HOUR HALF AN HOUR ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO TALK#I had to fight for it and even when she finally scheduled us for an hour she still tried to cut it short#I had to pull up the appointment confirmation to prove I had an hour allotted. like seriously what the fuck.#one of those people who had their own mental struggles and then is like “I want to become a therapist and help other people uwu”#and then is fucking useless and projects their own issues onto someone else and shoves their personal solutions onto you#like someone in r/aita projecting their own shitty relationship onto someone else. some of us are different Daryl#ugh I'm so fucking pissed and I'm not giving up the controller until I get this shit sorted out for now.#r wanted to hop back on this morning in the shower and we had a shouting match but our deal was she takes a week break so I'm keeping it#because too much shit has built up and she's been not doing so hot so I'm gonna get this mess cleaned up before I let her back on.#I bought groceries. I did laundry. I got the car repairs done. I got our bike fixed up. I showered. I did dishes. I'm going to#and I'm going to get even more done tomorrow. maybe then I'll go back to watching over her shoulder and backseat gaming but not for a while.#it feels nice though. like I get to finally stretch my arms and yawn real good.#and btw to answer the question she's always fucking asking. she's not ace in the slightest lmao. I am and the bleed over confuses her.#there. question answered so maybe she can stop asking about it.#I feel like in her push to find herself she kinda pushed me back into the corner. which... ngl that hurts a little.#oh well. you don't need to hear about our lovers' quarrel. I'm going to bed in these cozy fresh bed sheets I just put on the bed.

Love that I apparently have enough charm to make old ladies love to talk to me and not enough backbone to make them Stop
#73 year old lady called to see if I could reopen her account#and while I got help getting that request put in. She started talking about how she needs it for a car repair#and then proceeded to vent to me for. 45 minutes.#Everytime I tried to do my closing she steamrolled right over me#And every time I managed to find an out I would say. something? And she'd start right back up#Love my job#i call it my Delightful Young Man Swag#no i dont

#idk whether i find my dad's refusal to see me as a functioning adult to be mostly cute or mostly obnoxious#cos it's like...i moved out from my parents' place in mid-2014. i've been living an 11h(-ish) drive from their place since then#so i've been managing w/o their constant presence & direct input for over a decade. and i've done so reasonably well#like i've always paid my rent and bills on time and i've learned how to cook and clean and do basic home repairs and i've never--#--made any choices that put my own or other people's well being and/or safety at risk#in other words there's absolutely no reason why my parents (mostly my dad) should doubt my ability to deal with--#--normal everyday life-things and to figure out solutions when a problem arises#yet when the time came to change to winter tyres on the car my dad insisted on making the fucking 11h drive TO DO IT FOR ME#and for context: there's a mountain pass separating my home ''town'' aka where my parents live from where i live#and that mountain pass is snowy and miserable and lowkey dangerous to cross by car this time of year#and i was just like dude i can change my own fucking tyres and if i for some reason decide that i can't--#--then i'll just get the pros to do it? you don't have to drive all that way to do it for me like i'm still 18 and just got my license?#but no he made the drive and changed the tyres for me and would barely even LET ME HELP. like i just stood there and handed him--#--the tools like i was 8 years old again BUT at one point i was allowed to tighten the bolts on one of the wheels:)#except not really cos as soon as i was done he went over them to check that i'd done it properly#and don't get me wrong he's not an overbearing man at all. he's not a besserwisser. he tends to stay back and let me live my life#it's just when it comes to things that could in theory pose a threat to my safety or general well-being--#--that he decides that uhhh actually you're still 13 years old as far as i'm concerned and i need to do my fatherly duty here#makes me think of when i went home last year to spend a few days there and both my parents were like--#--wait wtf do you mean you know how to operate a washing machine#and i was kinda just like.....bro what#what exactly do you people think i've been doing with my laundry for the last almost-decade#and don't even get me started on when they realised i knew how to cook#again: my dad is not overbearing and neither is my mum. they're generally very laid back and always have been#and i love them and i'm so grateful for everything they have done and continue to do for me#but also holy shit i'm almost 30 years old and somehow they remain baffled that i'm not still the 19yo that moved out in 2014

maybe this will be the catalyst to get rid of our Fuck Ass Car
#horrible horrible wont get into the details of what happened but it was Not Good lmao#and i think that ethan might be ready to give up on him too finally#rn our options are : hundreds in repairs that will make him run good for a week nd then start stressing the fuck out of us again#beg my parents for help on a down payment for a new car which would fuck our budget completely if we had a car note#because we are paycheck to paycheck as it is and my job is Not stable#but would let us live in a higher level of comfort and lower level of stress because we would have a newer and functioning car lol#OR#we beg my parents for a thousand dollars to buy ethan an e bike and we go back to having no car#which is kind of what im rooting for at this point lmao#it was stressful to be carless in college because a. it was the only lifestyle i had known b. iw was unfamiliar w the city#and c. i lived in an area with really unreliable public transit#like dont get me wrong the transit does kinda suck ass in this city in general#but now we live right on the lightrail and right on the primary bus route of our city#and we're ten minutes away from a major transit center so like it would be a Lot easier this time around#idk we're gonna talk about it today but im almost feeling optimistic at this point

okay my car is 100% fixed now
horrifying thing to discover the is that 3 out of 4 tires were severely CUCKED(they were bulged[it wasnt visibly noticeable] which made them extremely dangerous to drive on, especially on shite roads, guess what roads are in my area, bulged tires can go boom boom)
funny thing is though, the ONLY tire that is completely fine was the one on the broke wheel bearing lol
(previous owners did do major work on the car BEFORE i got it, so i HOPEFULLY dont have to pay for anymore major repairs in the near future, the creek at my house[or just creeks in general] can and will fuck up cars, specially wheels)
so now it drives smoooooooth, no pulling or anything, now all i gotta worry about is some cosmetic stuff and rust(some the trim has rusted itself out its hold, so i plan on taking some caulk and an adhesive to get it back in so it doesnt fall off on the highway) that and logging trucks
the subuwu outback('98, sports model i think, definitely not legacy tho) is no match for a large logger, especially on mountains 👁️👁️
#anyways#anyone wanna help piss my pparents off?#suggest some car stickers#nothing too subtle tho#its fun driving the subuwu#lets say hypothetically that i HAVE to speed most the time#(if the speed limit is 20 the car has to go 30 to keep up with more modern vehicles[4cylinder engine vs V8 engines)#its fun having a truck be right behind you in the lil squat#it does get to speed quickly tho#i actually had to get the trunk's lifts replaced and let me tell ya i fight for my life trying to close it#i dont want to think about how much it has costed me to repair this vehicle into tip top shape#its in better shape than any of my parents vehicles(my mothers Expedition needs a replacement Trans for it to operate)---#and thats just touch the tip of the iceburge
