#i have house chores to do

[plutonianplaything2]

in preparation of HotD season 2, i’m listening to the fire and blood audiobook while doing chores in my fave new shirt 🖤🐉

Look, I love Zutara with all my heart but they must be sooo annoying to visit casually.

Let’s say you’re Sokka and you just happened to want to visit your sister in her house, casually. If Katara and Zuko are hosting something they are the best hosts ever, working in perfect synchronization to cater to your every need. However, things get more complicated if you happen to barge into their daily lives. First of all because there probably IS an imaginary board of rules in their heads which they follow most dedicatedly and most naturally, as if it was the most obvious thing to do. Cups must be placed in a certain order of color and shapes because they agree that it looks nice, if you get up from the sofa you must always arrange the cushions, leave the door heading north open from 12am to 16h so the air can circulate, after that you close such door to avoid whatever it is that they both wish to avoid. Grab yourself a mug and Katara will whisper to you to avoid the fire lily one because it’s Zuko’s, while Zuko will simply give you another one instead of the lotus flower mug because that one is Katara’s. They have their assigned places by the table which they never change. Shoes must be stored in a certain order from up to down otherwise you might catch one of them meddling with your footwear. Avoid their bedroom at all costs once they leave to sleep because the last thing they will be doing is sleeping. Do Not push the windows with force otherwise you will damage the wood. Do not touch Zuko’s theatre figurines. Do not touch Katara’s scrolls. And so on.

By the time you leave their house you have either gone crazy or you have become just like them.

I think it would be really funny if rin was the more helpful one around his house. Like u would think rin would be the disrespectful one who always bails on housework or mass but its actually yukio who would always have an excuse not to go or forget about chores to the point that rin just does them instinctively now

I need an update! Please! Little nightmare channel change

Hiiiii sorry things have been really crazy, I got a new job that is full time now, and may need to move next year, so I'm trying to do some research on what I can do and where I can go for that..... so I've had significantly less time for my typical art things at the moment... As for Little Nightmares Channel Change, I'm roughly on page 28/67. I think once I get to page 35, this time, I'm gonna start releasing one page every two weeks instead of all at once, that seems to be more enjoyable for people, on top of them having to wait less while I'm still working on the other pages. So I'm hoping to start releasing stuff no more than two months from now, if not a little earlier depending on how my schedule goes.

Everyone clap for me setting BOUNDARIES on my babysitting (said they have to be back by 10 so I can go sleep before driving tomorrow)

I just want everyone to know that in the span of 3 days, I have made 3 loads of laundry, and have a 4th already sorted and ready to go (which includes towels / blankets / bedding). I still need to fold them and put them away BUT the important part is done 🥹

[skunkes]

I'm curious, why not get a job to move out? Ik most jobs sound miserable but there are some out there that don't need experience and can be tolerable, especially part time

I saw this ask before I fell asleep and was thinking of a response so hard that I dreamed about job hunting LOL

Anyway, that's kinda happening rn! Im working on resume and my friend who lives in my target city (being near her wld help both of us out a lot) is helping me look for listings... it's just the same little issues so far while we look though of course, which is either "manageable, or even Dream office job with very low pay" or "kinda higher Okay Pay job, but id have to be in charge of an entire country and work 16 hour days including weekends (10 yrs of experience + Master's required)."

In our current society (in North America and much of the western world) we can't completely avoid capitalism, but with some work and dedication we can reduce how much we have to participate in it.

Building community is hard, and it often requires a lot of up front investment in time and energy before you start seeing returns on that investment. I know not everyone is in a place where they can make those expenditures without getting anything back right away which is why it's even more important for those of us who can to start building sooner rather than later.

When you have a healthy, thriving community of people you can start withdrawing yourself more and more from reliance on a broken capitalist system. Yes there's mutual aid within a community but what's even more exciting to me is the option of participating in a barter/trade economy because it's so often more empowering for disabled folks and other marginalized groups that struggle in a capitalist economy.

And even more importantly than that, it's how we can survive a political landscape that is openly hostile to us. It's as impossible to avoid the fallout of the current political situation as it is to avoid participating in a capitalist economy, but being part of a strong and healthy community can at least help mitigate some of the harmful effects.

Neighbours sharing produce from their gardens can lessen the chances of food-borne illness as a result of lax food safety regulations.

Creating, maintaining, and sharing resources that help marginalized groups can help protect vulnerable people in your area when the larger resources are being dismantled or when people acting in bad faith are pretending to be a helpful organization.

Communities have more leverage (and resources) when it comes time to put pressure on local government to make progressive changes

As communities grow, empathy and compassion for the people in the community also spreads and that can help create allies against the bigotry and prejudice some of the community members face. When you're in community together with someone it's harder to depersonalize them. They aren't [insert oppressed group] member, they're the person who walks your dog and brings you beets in exchange for piano lessons, or the person who loaned you a spare tire so you could go to work and when you got home that evening they'd fixed your flat tire for free because they had the time and some spare material laying around from a repair they did on their own tire.

It's going to be really easy to give in to despair in the coming months and I'm not going to lie and say you can survive it. Some folks won't. I'm not going to lie and promise if you can make it through that things will get easier, they might not!

But if you can hang on I can promise you there's a chance things will get better, and I can promise you there's a whole heck of a lot of us out there trying to make sure it does get better. I can promise you that building community will help you survive when things start getting harder, and I can promise you that community can be a beacon of light in dark times, a bastion of hope in a desert of despair.

I know you're tired and I'll understand if you can't keep fighting, but I really hope you've got enough resilience left to hang on long enough to find a community to be part of.

Sure... Everyone ELSE can have some. But not him. Fucking bullshit.

Got to season 7 on my CSI rewatch and I need to talk about the final scene in s07e11, where Grissom is saying goodbye to Sara before leaving to go on his sabbatical. I mean, look at him. Look at what he does with his hands. *Agressively* Look at himmmmm. He's just a little puppy in love. And he does this right before whispering, "I'll miss you". I'm afraid I'm not gonna make it y'all

[cursedfortune]

bad news is i didn't really get to do rp stuff this week like i wanted. good news is i caught up on a lot of work. it's super exciting, too, cause a couple of them are finally moving forward to finalize their work of official publishing and i'm so happy for them. :') side bonus to good news: i've written out a framework to all the asks for the fortune reading bit. so all i have to do is write them up. ^^ if anyone still wants in on it, just go here and read how to.
