there are some things i just. casually accept about characters without delving further into it
so there’s that thing about sunday’s wings right that he has a second pair on his back, about mid to lower back. i just went oh really? that’s Neat, i wonder if he binds them? so that they’re tucked against his spine
but no
after a series of events today that i will not bother getting into bc it’s not all that important i have discovered the Truth
what i had perceived to be his vest…
those are his goddamn wings
(obligatory stolen from google)
i see discussion about it sometimes. like someone is telling someone else about his second set of wings but they always say yeah they’re on his back and leave it at that, they never mention that you can fUCKING SEE THEM
i’m curious how they’ll be utilized in his new design? i don’t believe i can see them in the drip marketing image. and there’s also the thing about at least one of them being clipped, which im not sure i can see that in the images im looking at or maybe i just don’t know what i should be looking for (highly likely)
#it’s a sunday type of day it seems#desperately farming for pulls rn#i got real lucky w jiaoqiu and feixiao back to back. oh yeah and feixiao’s light cone And robin#i have probably used up all my luck reserves for the rest of eternity#might legit spend monies for this man#it’ll really depend on his kit tho#bc while i really want him i don’t think it’s worth spending money on if i don’t enjoy the playstyle + he gets benched to just sit pretty#hsr sunday

Literally can't pay my rent until I get paid for September, which hasn't happened yet. Today is Friday, and Monday is the last day of the month. I'm so tired of being poor.
#i still cringe to call myself 'poor' bc i have my own apartment and can afford groceries#and even fun stuff like museums and cafe visits and public transport sometimes#but the reality of the matter is that after i pay off my student loans every month#i do not have enough money left to pay the following month's rent#and that's the way it's been my whole life#all my groceries and museum visits and coffee come from those few hundred euros left over#my whole life i've been choosing between 'having savings' and 'having even the smallest most humble life' and obviously i choose the latter#i never go to the movies#i buy all my clothes second hand (got some this past month after not having bought any new clothing in almost two years)#i have visited a museum TWICE this year#i go to restaurants like... once a month max#i am living the most frugal life that i possibly can without denying myself all pleasures#i don't even have netflix or anything like that! i only very rarely order delivery! i cook my own damn meals!#you get the picture#and yet still: one single missed paycheck is enough to potentially fuck up my life seriously#i've never missed a rent payment in my life but i'm scared it may happen this time#just wrote to HR of my former employer (who is supposed to still be paying me through october) to politely ask where my paycheck is#it's probably coming today (i sure as hell hope so) but if it doesn't... i legit don't know how i'm going to pay my rent#my rent is 673 euros and i only have 400 in my bank account#i probably have enough food in my pantry to survive for a month if i had to#but i've never missed rent in germany before (or ever) and i have no idea how long they'd wait before evicting me for non-payment#i'm scared. and i'm tired of being apparently the only fucking person in my social groups who is this poor#i am an over-educated 37-year-old professional who typically gets classed with the 'expats'#but one missed salary payment has me thinking about eviction and affording groceries#this is what i mean when i say i'm an immigrant. not an expat.#those people with their apple watches and co-working spaces and spontaneous trips to thailand or brazil are... a world apart from me#how come everyone i meet is so damn rich? where do i find fellow poor friends?#anyway i'm stressed. and i'm so so tired of spending my mental energy worrying about money#cosmo gyres#personal

man i think i’m 5 seconds away from a mental breakdown
#I’m actually running out of money now despite working 6 days a week and making 6 figures#Because I bought my acreage with my brother and factored him paying 1/3 of the expenses BUT he’s decided to be unemployed for 1.5 years#I pay the mortgage mortgage insurance utilities internet groceries#I have $800/month in student loan payments#I have to spend like $150/week on gas because my commute is 2 hrs round trip every day#I only eat one meal a day usually because I don’t have the time to grocery shop or cook usually and my brother only cooks for himself#I do all of the chores and at least 1/2 of the yard work#I have the heaviest workload of any of my coworkers (which has been acknowledged but my manager says his hands are tied#Because if he took work off of my plate he’s have to give it to someone else and there is no one else)#I’m being severely underpaid at my job ($4 under the STARTING wage for a pharmacist now despite me working there for 3 years.#But I “got the largest raise last year” lmfao#I’ve been seeing someone but he works nights and his schedule is wack and it results in me going to bed at 3am some nights#I’m also on call this week so I have to be ready to answer calls at any time past 11pm#My hair is legit pulling out in clumps and my hair is half of my personality :(#i’m about to mcfuckin lose it#Brain feels like mashed potato#Oh also I’m on my fucking period

#tag talk#got convinced to try a mmorpg with some friends and they got talking about how much money they've spent on games#one guy said 3k on skins and I legit felt so internally distressed I quit playing and went for a walk to the park#more and more I'm realizing I'm not built to play games all day with people online.#and the idea of spending 3k on some shitty game is insane to me. for skins???#anyway I uninstalled it and had a nice time at the park watching people practice para-sailing technique#asks I took sort of a nap on a park bench and it was lovely#the attached picture is the view from where I was lying down#I paused my music and just listened to the noise around me it was so nice and calming#but anyway. the game was shitty and poorly designed and the thought of playing hours of that just hard reset me#idk. online is cool and all but I crave the real world. I walked down and bought pocki and enjoyed the sun. that's truth and love#I don't make online friends well. no friends here on tumblr. Just people I nod to as I pass by.#some favorite artist but no one I would genuinely miss if they deleted their account.#some favorite followers I like to catch up on every once in a while. you know who you are.#but no real friends. no one I talk to. I just don't have that urge.#I much prefer my few irl friends. it's much more satisfying to hang with them instead of online people.#anyway. go touch grass. don't live too online.

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move
Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)
Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back
...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet
#legit; as small as it is it gives me a hint at the direction things will head and that costco will get more and more anti consumer#and I'm in minutes going from an 'I love costco; it's how I afford to eat; go get a cheap pizza'#to 'you know costco is kinda frustrating and annoying and I don't trust their ceo... I'm not sure if it's worth your time and money'#like look back and; tumblr search willing; you'll find posts of me singing costco's praises; literal free advertising#cause while it's not right for everyone; man is it so much cheaper than places like walmart#but... I legit don't know if I can recommend it anymore#for one thing; when I signed up I just spotted the members desk; walked in the backdoor up to the desk; and gave them money#now... what? you gotta ask permission? I feel like there's a chilling effect on wanting to join... at least for my socially anxious ass#and again; I just whiff this as like when games companies add DRM that breaks the game... for people who actually pay for it#they're making me suffer a pain in the ass for no reason cause someone might not be giving them money#and now that person never will give them money... and frankly... if they don't pay the membership but spend $500 how much did you lose?#but like I said; I feel it in the air; that costco will start doing more and more anti consumer stuff#...do I think it's a good idea to join up when they're gonna slowly start turning this corner?#I mentioned that quote by the founder about killing them if they raise the price of the hotdog#but... the fact the founder felt the need to say that to begin with told me something#kinda gotten the impression that the ceo is greedy as hell and wants to drain the consumer (so... a normal ceo)#and this just smacks of netflix/disney#oh... did you hear about disney killing someone with a food allergy despite being told about it multiple times like when the dish arrived?#and now disney is trying to forced arbitrate cause they had a disney+ trial in 2019#you hear about that one? cause that's a real news story; I'll find you an article if you don't believe it#anyway; this smacks of cracking down on password sharing to make up for hypothetical lost revenue#and let me tell you... if I could switch to pirating my groceries I would; I would download eggs#so this doesn't change costco fundamentally; but it does make it feel more hostile and like it doesn't trust me#it makes things feel more adversarial instead of like a partnership where they get me good prices on good things and I give money#and I just wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more things I don't like#things that make things worse... things like raising prices to increase their profit#...makes me want to... work on figuring out how to make everything myself since no company is trustworthy#they'll all turn on you in the end; the moment the wrong person takes charge they'll start to metastasis#towards the cancer of infinite profits#not saying don't go to costco... I'm saying don't get attached if you do; I think they're ready to do what every company does these days

Me losing my anonymity to my neighbor after hitting the floor with my broomstick handle - I’ve incited a possible war.
#i was not mchaving it last night#I’m already on edge and last night flared my anxiety up really bad#legit had the shakes because i was so upset at how fucking loud they were#and all my landlord will do is ask if she’s fucking to which she responds no#and then she keeps doing it!#it’s like if i asked if she’s chewing gum#and she’ll look me in my eye and say no while blowing a bubble#and my landlord won’t do anything about it#so I’ll just take matters into my own hands#and if that mean’s embarrassing her and knocking on the floor every time i hear them so be it#the only thing my landlord can do is tell me to move lol#but I’m tired of being plowed over#i will be a bitch about this#I’m spending my fucking money to be here and i can’t just pick up and move#like i legit just moved here!#this girl will not be rewarded for her actions by me moving#i will make everyone uncomfortable#even as we speak they are going at it#why do you think I’m up at this ungodly hour?

Etsy tlou/tlouii merch are a death trap
#legit slap anything ‘tlou’ on an item and I’d want it#anything as insignificant as a goddamn rock#like I keep packaging materials that have any tlou logo on it even if it’s just goddamn plastic or a piece of paper#I am such a sucker for this game series#naughty dog and creators be making BANK from peeps like me#not necessarily a bad thing#except for when ur in deep spending money on so much stuff u don’t need lol#I mean my collection is nice to look at#all that dopamine man#tlouii#tlou merch#buck.txt#guess who’s browsing merch on Etsy

Sooooo ummmmmmm this is something that's probably going to piss a lot of people off, but I feel like I really need to say it.
If you get a message from an account claiming to be a Palestinian fundraiser, it is a bot. It is a scam. You need to report & delete the message and encourage others to do the same.
I know because I get messages on this account DAILY. I have a very high follower count and I'm pretty active and I interact with my followers a lot, and apparently that all adds up to one big bot magnet.
Bots following and messaging this account was a MASSIVE problem before Tumblr fixed its new account policies. I used to spend literally hours blocking and reporting the hundreds of bots that I would get following me each day.
I learned a lot about bots and how to identify them. The easiest way is with no avatar, "untitled" in the blog description (BTW if your avatar is still set to default PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD change it because you run a substantial risk of being accidentally blocked & reported as a bot).
One of the dead give aways of a bot was what I call "word salad" names. Three seemingly random words strung together making no sense, always adjective, adjective or noun, noun. If you reported a lot of these bots, you'd notice the same words kept showing up.
Nowadays, I am bombarded with fundraiser requests and sometimes, they don't even bother to hide the fact that they're a bot. The avatar is default, the blog title is "untitled," and the blog name is a classic randomly-generated word salad.
However MOST of the requests I get come from at least semi-legit looking accounts. There are pictures, a name, a story. Never mind that I've gotten that message three times from different accounts.
Sometimes, they claim to be vetted, but the whole vetting system essentially adds up to "trust me bro." There is no way of guaranteeing that this account isn't just lying about being vetted, claiming to be vetted by a false person, or are using the identity of a real Palestinian to scam people.
Previously, I've seen a lot of people getting attacked for raising questions about these fundraisers and getting attacked for being racist or for harming Palestinian families in danger, like Tumblr isn't a website famous for its scams and the words "The Arkh Project" "All or Nothing" or "Miss Officer and Mr. Truffles" mean nothing to you.
I personally have been scammed by people claiming to be charities on Tumblr before, specifically, The Leelah Project which used the name of a trans teenager who died by suicide to swindle people out of their money.
Luckily, there are actual, respected charities out there you can give money to if you want to help the cause:
Palestinian Children's Relief Fund
Palestine Red Crescent Society
United Nations Relief Works Agency
Islamic Relief
World Central Kitchen
Médecins Sans Frontièrs
One of the hardest things to accept about the situation in Palestine is that realistically, there is very little that your average outsider can do to change it. However, these large, well-respected and trustworthy charities are out there doing the hard work to keep people alive, and should be where the donation money is going
These scam bots feed on people's naïvety and need to believe that they are making a difference, and even worse, feed on the fear that by ignoring them, it somehow makes you a racist doing direct harm to a refugee family, when in fact they are using the suffering of Palestinians to take away money from those in need.
As far as fundraisers that don't send out random asks for donations, I honestly don't know. You'll have to do the work yourself and approach with much caution.
Be careful out there.

Hi 🌹❤️
I kindly ask you to share my story and reblog it . help me and my family reach a safe place. You can read my full story on my page.
Thank you for your kind ♥️🙏
Ok I'm not gonna fault anyone for not knowing this like my main blog since unlike there I don't have anything in my description but I don't reblog fundraiser posts.
I used to a long time ago.
It literally wasn't mentally healthy for me because I can't donate myself and I'd feel guilty for that and just. Kinda would mentally spiral over it. And then I'd get kinda "help everyone syndrome" over these things like obsessive over them. I just can't interact with them in a healthy way I'm so sorry, I'll answer this ask but I just can't do posts like that and . I still feel awful for it.
#I have money but 1: it's all given to me by my parents it's basically an allowance and. It would be awkward to explain#“Yeah I donated it to strangers on the internet and I need more to donate to more strangers on the internet”#And like. It would just keep going because again I just. Can't stop with this. I know I wouldn't be able to.#And they probably wouldn't let me#And I'd feel like shzt for that#They give me this stuff to like spend on shopping#And also. I don't know how to use money for digital stuff. I legit don't. I tried. It just goes to my baba and doesn't let me switch#And again. Strangers on the internet.#I just. I hope im explaining this right im genuinely sorry I just. I used to reblog posts like everyone else but I felt so awful about the#Because I couldn't help them myself. Also because the life circumstances the posts always laid out were just.#Reading those over and over again being exposed to that so much was also Not Healthy for me and that was with like.#The stuff years ago. Before it was genocide. When it was people talking about abusive households and stuff.#I just. Idk if it's “I'm a mentally ill teenager” or what but. I just get overwhelmed because it's painful to hear about how much pain#Other people are in all the time. And I want to help people. But I can't. And I feel guilty.#...I'm sorry

I'm about to upset a lot of people (maybe) if this ever breaches outside of my little tumblr account, but
:readmore:
Maybe I'm trippin but sake just tastes like beer 😭
Like specifically bud light and i flinch every time i see a bottle being offered to me.
"Oh but the flavors they can come in-"
It's as if budlight and Mike's hard lemonade had a baby. I'm sorry.
I legit have tried more than i cared to remember (as i like expanding my taste buds when i have the opportunity) and just- as a #1 beer hater 😭😭🙏 PLS
I thought after so long I'll try it again, buying a bottle as celebration and just-
No.
#recently came into aome extra money and finally overcame my fear of cars long wnough to take my road test#so as to celebrate i bought some soju and sake as its been on my list to buy a bottle on my owm for ages now#when i tell you i wanted to cry after trying the saki#the soju was great- i got peach flavored and honest obsessed#but now i re try saki hoping and just- it taste just like beer to me with legit the after tatse of wine#im doing to keep drinking it as i did spend money on it but god am i adding so much ice and peach juice to it#like i definitely can tell there are taste differences in each sake I've tried but it all just boils down to sake- cold/warm/or hot
