I tried a 90s rnb look, I actually tried to put together fits from Pinterest, wasn't bad, I feel like the bucket hat is the most 90s shit ever

Hi, my name is Courtney aka Grimy(she/her currently 24yrs old). I'm looking for financial assistance. I've been working for 3 months or4 trying to save money to get an apartment so I can move out of a toxic living situation.(and working has been tough since I have depression and I recently found out I'm autistic). On top of that my mom lost her job a few days ago so I'm just looking for any support. Link in bio please my kofi has more details. I also draw if anyone needs commissions, ty for ur time. I'm trying to stream everyday again since idk if the lights will suddenly be cut off during this month. I finally hit affiliate on twitch but it's hard to be happy about it when idk if we'll be homeless the next week. Anything helps, following on tiktok or lurking my stream.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

Getting a bit tired of having to hear Dave demanding to know if 'anyone gave us money' every damn day. Even if I did get paid, we sure as hell ain't giving him the PayPal card.

To put it into perspective, My Ko-Fi has brought in an ass load. Through commissions and memberships alone, I could have bought 32 PS5s by now. Through straight up donations, I could have gotten 14 PS5s. Together, that is 46 PS5s at $500 each. And then some.

I have to be mature. I can't use that for anything personal. I'm doing surveys on the side to pay for my own PS+ monthly cuz I can't even use the money I make for myself!

We always run out of food by the last week. Mom's check only lasts us 3 weeks. And guess what? We have ANOTHER mouth to feed!

Dave has, for the fifth time and without mom's approval, given a friend of his our couch for free. So, for the fifth time, there is a stranger sleeping in our house against most everyone's wishes. And, as always, they aren't expected to help out at all. Not with money, groceries, bills, etc. But Dave has all the time in the world to bitch to Bethy over me being useless and then got mad cuz she told him that I'm the one who kept all of us in motels while we were homeless and that despite him changing the story over and over, he sat on his ass for over a year doing nothing(August 2021 to Feb 2023).

We ran out of food this week and mom's check doesn't come in until after the 20th. Dave doesn't pitch in with bills, groceries, car insurance, gas, or the like. AND he's paying off a blackmailer and trying to hide it! The most useful thing he did this week was go to a food bank, after arguing with mom for 10 minutes over how he didn't want to make the drive over, and get a single box of canned goods.

There's just more important stuff and until we can be sure that we are safe and stable, I'm never going to be able to save up my own money for anything.

working back counter in a secondhand sales/pawnbroking franchise is sorta crazy as someone who’s been homeless and lost all their shit bc on the one hand you’re totally turned off emotionally to people having the latest models of tech to pawn and making it your fault that they’re not worth much (bc tech evolves literally daily — the ps5 devalued by 50% literally the second the ps5 pro was announced) n therefore they can’t pay a bill or afford whatever habit. on the other hand there are some people you straight up wanna cry on

[nezumasa]

Honestly, like the issue isn’t that that family is living in a one bedroom—life is rough and everyone is one or two paychecks away from homelessness—but the fact that she’s not prioritizing her kids while planning to have more???

Like please don’t make your kid sleep in the kitchen while you and your husband have the only bedroom, bed, a large tv, and a ps5.

Like kids don’t ask to be born and people go through rough patches (and deserve nice things while they do), but these are small children who depend on you…

[shattered-glasswork]

yo archie looks good he looks bored out of his mind tho! What's his story?

He is a son of nemesis/Invidia and a legacy of Apollo!! His dad was a fisherman and took him out to lakes pretty often. They lived in an apartment for most of his life so they decided to go fishing as a celebration when he bought a house (they had been low on money for awhile with his dad working odd jobs to support them.) but yeah they didn't know that there were sirens in the lake so they did the whole siren song thing and they promised Archie a PS5 if he got in the water so he jumped in and the siren grabbed him by the neck with her claes and that's why he has the scratch mark scars on his neck. He has a floaty on so between the waves from his dad fighting sirens (albeit unsuccessfully) and him desperately trying to swim to shore he made it out of the lake and waited for his dad for about three hours before going off on his own where he lived in a homeless shelter until a saytr found him and brought him to camp half blood where he got claimed bc percy made the gods have to claim their kids. But yeah he's actually Roman but just stays at camp half blood and honestly that's probably better because he hates being told what to do) so yeah, he dyes part of his hair blonde as a sign of respect for his dad and also wears his overly large boots that he found on the ship when it floated to land. But he's very silly and I love him dearly

[lostryu]

Prithee, wht would I bother to support someone who participates in queer infighting and destabilizing our community? I would rather buy a PS5 instead. At least that would serve some purpose in my life.

first of all you sound fucking insufferable, and second of all it’s very telling that you’re soapboxing about community and yet you’ve done nothing to support said community. no one cares about ‘queer infighting’. when you’re in a community you support said community when someone is in need. it’s how mutual aid works. Emily Gwen is still a human being and deserves dignity, and your attempt to dehumanize and persecute them shows that you don’t actually care about supporting others unless they’re convenient props for discourse.

btw you’re a piece of shit and you better fucking pray you’re never homeless, lest what goes around comes around.

Life Update: Things Going From Bad, to Worse (I’m likely going to be homeless soon!)

Hello there everybody. This is General Snivy. It’s been a while since I last posted an update outside my artwork, random tweets, and retweets on Twitter. (And for those asking, I refuse to call Twitter “X”! It’s such a stupid rebrand, but that’s not what we’re talking about today!) Today, I want to talk about what’s been happening with me in my personal life and how things have officially gone from bad, to worse. To catch people up, back in December 2022, I started my stream playthrough of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix and I have only done one session of the game so far. I had every intention of continuing the playthrough, but life got in my way, grabbed me by the ankles, and dragged me along against my will. To make a long story short, my computer broke on me, twice within ~20 days in between the first problem and the second. After I got my computer fixed the 2nd time, Mom and I prepared ourselves to go on a road-trip to see my sister back in May of this year. After the trip, other personal things kept happening and thus, I didn’t have time to stream at all. Recently, on June 30th, my computer froze up on me while I was doing my monthly backup of my computer with WinRAR. (Which could mean that I’m having overheating issues again.) Thankfully, after hitting the physical reset switch on my computer, I was able to reboot, complete the backup, and take care of whatever else I needed to do before shutting it down properly and I haven’t turned it on again since. The reason why I haven’t used my desktop computer since June 30th is that this was how my first GPU (my graphics card) died on me the first time and I fear that my current GPU, which is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770, may be on its way out too, but I don’t know that for sure. I intended to get my computer checked out and possibly repaired this month as I have the money to pay for labor and a potential GPU replacement, if necessary. However, as of a couple of days ago, we received a letter from our realtor company, informing us that our rent will be increasing from ~$1250 per month, to ~$1500 per month come October 1st, 2023, which is an increase of roughly $250 per month! Worse, is that we had our rent increased earlier this year and we were barely making it! Now, we won’t be able to pay our new rent bill coming up and we have 2 months to pack up all of our stuff and find a new, cheaper place to live! What this means, for me, is that I cannot get my computer looked at or fixed if there’s a problem with it as I have to hold onto my money to help Mom with paying for a moving company to move all of our furniture and stuff to a new home! So, we need to pay first months rent, last months rent if applicable (which it is, most of the time.) and the security deposit at the new location! Don’t be surprised if I end up going off the grid for a while come October as Mom and I will likely be homeless and all of our services will be shut off due to our phone service being tied to our ISP, Spectrum. (We might be able to keep our mobile services without internet, but I’m not holding my breath.)

At this point, it should be obvious that my stream playthrough of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix is on indefinite hiatus until we’re able to find a new place to live, until I can either get my computer fixed or better yet, replaced, and when I have time to stream after the dust is settled. (So much for guaranteeing that I’d be able to stream again this year. What can I say, life happens.) Thankfully, I still have my old school laptop to work with, but there’s no way in Hell that it can be used for streaming as it can barely run Windows 10 as is due to it being an ancient relic from 1930. (That’s an exaggeration, but you get my point.) You might be wondering, “Can’t you just use your PS5’s built-in streaming feature to stream more Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix?��� Technically, yes, but the problem is copyright as the ending song is copyrighted and I have no way of muting it myself. I can get away with talking over the song as much as humanly possible, but only on Twitch as they’re a little more lenient when it comes to that kind of stuff. YouTube, no. Not at all. That would very likely get blocked in several countries with the quickness of the Flash and Sonic the Hedgehog combined! I could skip the credits and avoid the problem entirely, but I want to show off the people who had a hand at developing the game. Skipping the credits outside of a speedrunning setting is just rude and disrespectful, in my opinion.

I have thought about learning how to speedrun another game that I can play on my PS5 in the meantime, but then I run into another problem; time. Time is something I’ve been lacking lately and to be able to learn a new game, plus being able to stream my attempts, is a commitment and time is something I just don’t have right now. Not only that, but to keep up with a consistent stream schedule is something I’ve struggled with for years due to my personal life taking priority over stream and creating content. Plus, with recent events, those plans went out the window completely.

Some of you may be wondering, “Since you’re posting artwork on Twitter and other social media channels, couldn’t you open up commissions to have us help you out with your dire financial situation?” There are a few reasons as to why I’m not doing so at this point of time, but the TL;DR of it is, I need to do more research as to how to go about accepting commissions, which payment platform to use to handle payments from clients safely, and how I can best track these commissions after accepting them, amongst other things. I do have a general idea of how I want to go about setting up a commission sheet of what I will and will not draw, but there are a few more things I need to figure out and finalize. Plus, I need to come up with prices of what kind of artwork I’ll provide, plus examples for said prices. I also need to figure out a Terms of Service for my work as one can never be too careful when it comes to dealing with certain bad actors and businesses transactions, in general. Better to be safe than sorry.

So yeah, that’s everything that’s going on right now. I’m going to be having a hectic two months or so, scrambling to pack up everything, finding a new place to live, and getting my computer either fixed or replaced. I know that I’ve been keeping you all hanging for the past year and for that, I cannot apologize enough for my lack of content and to some extent, lack of communication. It may look like I’ve been lazy, but I’ve been dealing with life behind the scenes and as I always say, life comes first before content creation. For those who continue to stick with me, despite my lack of activity, thank you for doing so. I appreciate it. And, for those who left, thanks for joining me, regardless of how long you did so. I hope that I entertained you while I was active and that you enjoyed my content. If you wish to keep up with me and whatever I post, I’m most active on Twitter (aka, X. God, I cannot get over that name change!) so, follow me there. My Twitter handle is @/GeneralSnivy (Remove the slash.) This is General Snivy. Thank you for taking the time to read this long winded update and I hope to be able to stream again in the near future. See y’all again!

Quick Kevin & Mike ficlet, apropos of nothing. Just an image that’s been in my head for literal ages and finally decided to go down in some form.

~~

“Hello chat! Welcome back to Fright Night, where I suffer for your entertainment.” With a sharky grin Kevin snorted and leaned over Mike’s shoulder.

“You enjoy it,” he teased, laughing as he was shoved off with a scowl.

“Back up, I’m not replacing another console ‘cause of you.” Shaking his head, Kevin turned his grin to the camera.

“Someday we’ll break him, chat. How are you doing? Everybody alive? We sound okay? Great, awesome. I have destroyed one console of his. One.”

“He’s never living it down,” Mike cut in, elbowing Kevin, “and back up, do you know what it takes to find a PS5?” Shifting to the side, like he could physically block Kevin from coming anywhere near the electronics, he shook his head and muttered “Fucking impossible...”

“Me, or Sony?”

“Both.”

“I,” Kevin said to chat, “am not in my normal spot because of inclement weather. Lightning storm’s coming in and I’m probably gonna be sparking all night. This way I don’t fry anything mid-stream. It’s okay though, because I have you guys on my phone-” He held it up for the camera, the swiftly moving chat echoed on the screen. “-which should be able to take whatever I dish out.”

“Hopefully.”

“I have faith in my work.”

“That makes one of us.” Mike deftly dodged a swipe upside the head. “What game are you forcing on me this time?”

“One of our subscribers recommended Tormented Souls, and it got the all clear, so…”

“So I’m the tormented soul. Joy.” Kevin flashed him another grin.

“It felt very on brand. Thanks KnowledgeableCadaver for the recommendation. This game apparently has some serious gore and violence, along with some self-harm, so if those bother you, no worries, same as always we’re gonna put out a post when we finish so you know when you can come back safe.”

“It should only be three weeks,” Mike added, booting up the PS5 and making a nearly whining noise to see that yes, there was the game. “Kev’s going to be out of town after that, we’ve scheduled around it.”

“Yes, chat, I will bring you back a souvenir. You need to press X, Sparkles.” Elbowing him again, Mike hissed out an

“I know to work a console!” Kevin shook his head and shouldered him back.

“While he’s working up his nerve, here’s your reminder that this month’s charity is the Coalition for the Homeless, advocating for the rights to sufficient food, adequate housing, and a living wage for all. As always, we’re matching and doubling whatever you guys send our way. You all managed to get over three grand for Mutants of America last month, so let’s see if we can top it-”

There was a time when I had lost  everything: lost my job, lost my house, lost my cars and even my fiancé left me. I was at rock bottom and homeless with no future in sight. However, I was able to to turn my life around  by thinking and living outside the box and gaining back even more than I ever had  and obtaining financial freedom with no more debt. . See my motivational video on how I lost everything and turned my life around and how you can to.…. SEE VIDEO BELOW!

I've been encouraged to add more options to the Ko-Fi. Things for gaming, such as completing challenges in the games I play and then posting them on YouTube, things for live-typing various works with an audience on Google Docs, and even stuff for more of my mom and I just talking about fandom stuff.

On the surface they're a good idea, but the means aren't really in the cards rn. My internet isn't the best, I can't guarantee when I'll have a spark of inspiration to type like a mad woman, and while mom and I love chatting about stuff, recording stuff on my tablet and not having proper equipment would suck ass for everyone, trust me.

Maybe when we aren't homeless anymore, I can try some of that stuff.

I do hope to get a PS5 sometime in the future. I saw one for $450 and that price will go down even more in another year or two. By then it'll be the price my used-PS4 was when I got it in 2016.

[ashen--nightmares]

sometimes i feel guilty for being homeless and making 3.90 an hr but having expensive things like a ps5 and smart tv and laptop and working phone and luxury items like anime figures and clothes that i genuinely like for once in my life. like all that shit could go towards food or rent or what the fuck ever. i shouldnt have wants. i should only focus on needs. i dont even have my basic needs met, so what the hell am i doing buying things i dont need to survive?

[litterspace]

Wanting to help someone is so fucking hard

I'm supposed to move out this month, before August. And I'm worried my roomate won't be able to afford the unit after I'm gone.

She makes enough to afford it, but she won't go in to work. She's worked 2 days this week, maybe 8 hours total. Out of 40. I woke up at 11:40 AM and she was sat playing on her PS5. Like... I can't do it.

I don't want her to be homeless, I don't want her to struggle, I want everything to be okay. But I've run myself ragged. I've covered rent 2 months in a row, I'm tired of adopts ALL the time bc it's always an emergency.

I've been the sole earner in this apartment for 2 months. She won't go in because she says her back hurts, or her stomach hurts. She wakes up in pain every morning, vomiting, diarrhea, the whole deal. I've begged her to go to the doctor, because leaving this untreated could just make it worse. I've begged her NOT to go to FastPace because FastPace isn't able to diagnose what's proving to be a genuine issue. It's not normal to wake up and immediately die in the bathroom, but she won't go to a doctor no matter how many times I ask.

"I can't afford the doctor." meanwhile she's not gonna be able to pay rent. She won't be able to make her car payment. She won't be able to cover the internet and electricity. She's skipping work because she's sick, and that's WHY she can't afford anything.

My issue is... Thousands of us go to work everyday and work through the most gutwrenching pain every day. Every morning, hundreds of thousands of people are waking up and going to work even though they're in pain- because they still have bills to pay.

And she doesn't realize how fortunate she is to still even have her job. She's been skipping 3/5 days a week, and isn't getting fired because she works for her dad. Her dad has worked at that company for 30 years, he's got the power to decide wether or not his kid can keep her job.

Most of us don't have that. I've never worked for my family, and I know most people don't either. Most people either show up or get fired. She's been skipping for months and hasn't been let go, meanwhile if anyone else did that? Termination.

It's endlessly stressful to me that she gets to "have" a job where she can pick and choose when she feels like going in, often choosing to stay home and play video games and watch TV. But every day she's home? We're not making money.

So then I have to.

And I have been.

But now the leasing office people have been informed that I'm leaving. And with a week left, she won't have worked enough to afford July's rent.

But I can't help. I've tried. I've done it all. I've kept the money flowing, I've kept the dishes washed and the apartment clean. I've kept the world spinning. While she's playing games and watching TV.

I'm tired. Physically I'm tired of making all the money. Mentally, I'm tired of worrying myself to death over someone who's willing to let herself drown and lose her home because she's unwilling to work with a tummyache.

[wifflum]

So I just got done being homeless for a month. It was honestly very fun, but right at the end when I was looking for a place to stay in earnest I was pretty worried about being stuck homeless.

I lost my computer, Playstation 5, TV, and Nintendo Switch, and my phone. The last two got stolen, I sold the PS5, and I gave away the computer before my old place trashed it. At the old place, where I lived with a bunch of ex-addicts, I was assaulted, I think, 8 times. I tried to sue but the higher ups at the halfway house started kicking everybody out over it, I guess. Can't reach my target with mail so I can't sue him.

While I was homeless I was like half-manic, or a much more controlled manic than usual, and it made it so it wasn't suffering. I had a glimpse of what it would be like if I weren't "up" and it would've been horror. Just despair at the endless expanse of boredom and nothingness, while I try to fall asleep on a picnic table.

While homeless, and this is very much a lasting thing, I got very into Shinto. I learned in school that Shinto is the belief that all things are conscious, all the way down to the atomic level. So, now I have empathy for the phone I'm typing this on, and he kind of objected and I had to ask permission to keep going, just now.

Schizophrenia mixes well with Shinto because I can actually communicate with everything instead of having to guess what they might want me to do. Or go by the vibe in the air, which is legitimate but also a bit vague. Shinto also teaches you that evil spirits, kami, are the reason people are evil. I call that Sin, but it's just about exactly the same philosophy since I believe Sin are conscious and outputting the effect they have on people intentionally, but I'll go into it some other time. Olenos, from the book I'm working on, Grey, has visions of Sin and his people detect Sin's influence, wickedness, all across their world.

But yeah so I'm staying in a sleeping room and playing video games all day. I don't know what else to do since I don't have a guitar now. That's another thing I lost. Life is good though; I'm just saving up to pay probation 500 dollars and then I can drink wine again. I might try that Delta fake weed stuff but I've never enjoyed weed much.

Outlast Trials: A Cold War Nightmare Unveiled

Imagine being a homeless dude, totally down and out, chilling on the streets, scraping for any leftovers in the trash. Then bam, you stumble upon a flyer promising a fresh start—a legit chance to shine, to be a hero, all while still finding time to buy PS5 games. Picture joining this Academy that sees your real worth, your true potential that's been held back. But here's the kicker: turns out it's all a Cold War-era hustle, just propaganda to recruit desperate folks nobody gives a damn about. Once you step into Murkoff's world, reality hits, but by then, you're already in too deep. The first mission is like a setup, stripping you of everything—your past, your fam, even your ID. You gotta erase your existence to survive. Kinda reminds you of that flick by David Fincher with Brad Pitt, the one that's too edgy to name. The game's all about "Trials." Not every loser Murkoff grabs can handle the big change, so you gotta pass tests—some pretty brutal—to prove you're up for the worst jobs, like whacking innocents or schooling kids in manners, Murkoff style. It's like being stuck in those fake towns they used to test nukes, except here, it's all about not knowing who's fake and who's real. And trust me, the psychos you meet? They're on a whole other level, armed with everything from sticks to drills, itching to bash your skull in or strangle you 'til your vision blurs out.

Stealth Tactics in The Outlast Trials

The Outlast Trials is hands down the most hardcore video game I've ever played. The enemies are grimy thugs yelling and cursing in decrepit corridors smeared with blood, piss, crap, and occasionally debating where to buy Xbox games. It's like a horror movie mashup of Hostel's sadistic tourists, Saw's brutal punishments, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre's psycho killers, all set in a vibe straight out of Stasi interrogation rooms or Argentina's Escuela Superior de Mecánica de la Armada. Plus, there are these monitors blasting propaganda like something out of John Carpenter's They Live, which adds a real masterful touch. But all that violence wouldn't mean squat without solid gameplay, and The Outlast Trials nails it. The stealth gameplay is top-notch. These maniacs trying to off us are way stronger, so even clocking them with a brick just buys us a sec before they're back on our tail. So, dodging them is key, though the maps are set up to make that a real pain. Best bet? Hide in wardrobes, under beds, or stay dead still in the dark, relying on night vision that chows down on batteries. And we gotta move quiet, dodging broken glass and noise traps like dangling cans or proximity alarms that scream like banshees.

The Outlast Trials: Authentic Cold War Prison Camp Vibes

In a scenario like this, anyone would go nuts. Besides keeping your health in check, you've gotta manage your mental state too. Neglecting it could lead to full-blown psychosis and hallucinations, messing up your vision and even making you hurt yourself, resulting in HP loss. Thankfully, after each mission (if you make it through before using up all your chances), you earn some virtual cash. It's not gonna flip the game, but you can grab a few gadgets to stun your tormentors a bit longer. This game is punishing, where every move could be your last, but that's exactly what The Outlast Trials is all about. In a nutshell: It's a killer stealth game where you dodge enemies by skulking in shadows, under beds, or in closets—silent as a ghost. Beyond that, it's hardcore survival horror, forcing you into grim acts while fending off psycho killers who'd love to rip you apart in the nastiest ways. The Cold War-era prison camp vibe is spot-on, and you really feel for the protagonist, heartbeat pounding like mad. Plus, there's multiplayer coop with three pals to round out the package.
