Love the idea of Philip coming into the isles with the same I’M THE HERO mentality as Luz. He never grows out of this fantasy. Well at least one of them got to see it through!

grant not wanting a kid because he was worried that he wouldn't be a good father only to have his son tell him that he never should have chosen to have a kid if he knew he was broken and confirming his own fears i'm going to SCREAM

Actually, as far I know, my great great grandparents on both sides of my family were poor European laborers who got tricked into thinking that they be able to buy huge plots of land in the Americas and become rich and ended working for peanuts for actual rich farmers back in the late 1800s / early 1900s. Which I guess makes me the end result of a proud lineage of people who were as good at farming as they were easy to scam. Like if you purposely wanted to create a Border Collie who fell for the “pretending to throw the ball” trick every single time.

Kaveh isn't dumb! He graduated architecture and is renowned in his field despite being so young! The man just lets his heart lead, which makes him easy to scam unfortunately (letting his heart lead also makes him an amazing architect, btw)

not to be an ass but if you're giving so much to fundraisers spread around on tumblr dot com that you're out of money that is a you problem. most are asking for single digit donations or a share for other people to decide if they want to do the same. if they are a scam, make sure you lose money you can stand to lose, and if not, 100 people who can afford to donate $5 each will add up real quick for someone who needs it and will absolutely not be a waste to anybody anywhere. if you have time and energy to research multiple fundraisers yourself, awesome, and if you don't, $1 or $5 or $10 is not going to kill you, unless it is, in which case, you can simply not donate! nobody has a gun to your head. ultimately it is your decision and your judgement call if that's something you can afford to spend, scam or otherwise, vetted yourself or otherwise, as a grown ass adult with functioning free will. it is not that complicated, next question.

This is a silly idea but with how Penelope scams the suitors and makes them give her more things I'm a suitor too. I will give you my fucking wallet, Penelope. I wonder if when Odysseus is back with all the gifts and items (the oxen for example, as she was trying to restock on what they had and basically tricking the suitors into bringing their own meals) It'd be kind of funny if she suddenly has a lot of livestock but doesn't have the room because she was expecting 108 freeloaders.

question

how do i figure out if someone directly coming to me for help with donations here is being genuine or not

i asked my irl for a commission about a year and a half ago and if i didn't know him and see him on a semi regular basis I would've thought he scammed me the good news is that he showed me his thumbnails and i am SO excited

I wish being social as a disabled and neurodivergent person wasn’t so damn exhausting. i desperately want connection but actually seeing people drains me so fast and meeting new people is so scary and hard and i am tired
