steddyhands au where Stede & Izzy start fake dating to scam a load of money (either to secure Stede's inheritance, or just like a classic wedding gift scam or something) but they also still both kinda hate each other and are constantly bickering, and keep slipping up and raising suspicion & have to dig themselves a deeper and deeper lie to keep the ruse up
(meanwhile, Stede AND Izzy have independently started fucking Ed behind each others back. Ed thinks hes seeing a wonderful polyamorous couple who just arent interested in threesomes, meanwhile Izzy and Stede are desperately trying to keep the other from finding out theyre sleeping with someone else)
(yes they hate each other and arent even dating for real. yes they are sneaking Ed behind the others back like its a real affair. its stizzy)
#ngl directly inspired by the book sage is reading. except that is far more dramatic and a whole. scheme#i think they just want to secure stedes inheritance or smthn#make some money and bail#pay for izzys transition#something like that#(obviously in the end they all get together and its happy and wonderful and love. but i am here for the dramaaaa)#ed is the thing that gets them on the same page finally#after a blow up 'youre cheating on me!' fight ofc#(theyre like. why do YOU care. its not real! and then they realise they may in fact like it to be real)#nyxtalks#ofmd#our flag means death#izzy hands#israel hands#stede bonnet#edward teach#stizzy#gentlehands#steddyhands#canon era? modern au? who knows. not relevant#the only thing that matters is them being messy#one of the schemes they start to cover up a lie IS going to involve wee john wearing a dress#to be izzys mother. a (fake) duchess#(more book plot thievery. cept they had the mafia??? dude idk)

Can confirm I had a relatively extremely competent stay at home father who made sure to limit TV time and read to me and encourage very precocious literacy that I think did me a lot of good... But in terms of basic life skills that stuff just didn't even come up I guess it was just assumed that I'd magically osmose stuff like "it's important to brush your teeth twice a day" when I was 8 lmao (I'm 26) and these are with solidly Gen X parents!
I've heard this from people your age a LOT and it's not your fault. but isn't it so weird to think about? that you'd have a kid and then be like well I'm sure they can figure out how to make spaghetti and pay rent do laundry on their own, I won't waste their time. of course if you only teach a kid one thing then how to read is a good one because you can find out almost everything else by readjng i guess
#asks#childrearing#you have to teach them how to make spaghetti with sauce from a jar at least#i think this is one reason so many people are desperately needing doordash money on here#not all of them of course but it does seem to account for at least some#which again is not their fault#i just saw a 20 year old on this website who moved out and didnt know how to use a can opener#but the thing is they also didnt know how to find out how to use a can opener#so instead of lookng at the picture on the can opener label that showed how to use it#or watch a YouTube#or ask someone#they just assumed it would be fine and completely fucked it up?#multiple layers of child neglect going on there

AU where when Kathony announces they're leaving again, Ben, Hyacinth and Gregory elect to go with them to India both to share in Kathony's experience and to get away from Lady Whistledown
#Kathony#Bridgerton#And everyone in the family keeps making excuses#to keep away from home#so they don't have to interact with fbc and their baby#cause the bridgertons would NOT be okay with the reveal#Colon would have to say#fine#pen and I will leave#cause Violet keeps lamenting she never sees any of her children anymore#except for the one son that married the woman#with the power to ruin her family#Pen would not care that her marriage is causing a bridgerton rift#cause she doesn't care about anyone but herself#eventually colon has to run away with his son#Lord featherington#and Colon comes back to the family#after promising now he'll never remarry#cause his ass can't be trusted with romance#anti penelope featherington#anti polin#Kate teaches Colon how to fill out a money ledger too#Cause Anthony has him on a strict allowance#really only the bare essentials for him and then anything the baby boy wants#cause then Colon can't get scammed again#anti colin bridgerton

The funniest part of James Somerton’s new video is that you know he was banking on the virality of it all to make big ad money bucks, but everyone’s genuinely so upset and done with him by now that the thing is only at 80k views.
#James Somerton#i will not be watching and I encourage others to do the same#Teach this fucker he can’t make money off us anymore

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed
#like we have so many ways of doing things that could help us in the long run but because we're told it requires more work we just cant#its too resource intensive. or maybe its too much to maintain. we have to overlook benefits so money can go into more important things#we teach each other to do things a certain way so it works for everyone but who was it convenient for first? what abt who it might hurt?#i have to wonder if the rules our current system uses is worth listening to or following if it doesnt have our best interests in mind. u an#me and the ppl around us.. would we be better off if i ate my meals knowing the person who grew it wanted to feed others the way they could#feed themselves? and that isnt to say we're going to be happy doing it but i guess satisfied that its helping someone instead of quietly#accepting that itll eventually go in the dumpster behind a grocery store because it stopped looking appetizing or it wasnt on sale anymore#what about building homes so we can shelter each other? what if we were satisfied with what we did because we knew it would be paid back#with kindness? isnt that what we evolved to do?? heal each others bones and tell stories and help each other??#why dont houses come with solar panels or generators unless we find a way to make people pay to use the sun? why is our pooled money used#to fund genocides instead of education and hospitals? whose interests and convenience came first when we started this??#i wont pretend to know the answer because i dont. but we all know we're miserable and im sorry to say that i cant see myself fighting#for a world that wont fight for me too. why do we work if we cant live from it?? why did they stop us from plucking more teeth from our#bosses until they could build more walls around themselves and then go back to underpaying us??#im so tired. i cant even imagine making it to age 70#yapping#vent

when are we gonna break it to american conservatives that we already HAVE schools that teach the bible and they are called private christian schools. oh right i forgot they don’t actually care about that and are trying to enforce a state religion
#for the love of christ can we not make it mandatory to teach the bible#‘it’s a historical document’ then put it where it belongs in a history class#but no you’re hanging up the ten commandments in homeroom#i’m so pissed about this#if you want your kid to learn about the bible and you don’t have the money for private school i have an easy tip: TAKE THEM TO CHURCH#sorry this isn’t really funny this is just a rant#first that godawful ‘plots of heaven’ thing and now this#i know outrageous stuff is always going to happen but with the upcoming election looming i am gritting my teeth#tw us politics#bc i sure as fuck know if i wasn’t in the us i wouldn’t want to constantly hear about this shit

*slides money across counter*
May I ask your thoughts on c!allium duo and/or headcanons?
Dude I ADORE c!allium duo, they're like one of my un-catagorized top 3 favorite duos, and that's saying something because i have a ton of favorites. Like, the way they back each other up and try to protect each other at different times makes me sob so so much. AND AND AND the fact their relationship is always changing (though, that is mostly just from c!Tommy) and developing, and its SUCH A SHAME it had to be cut short because of c!Ranboo's death.
Unfortunately I don't any written or thought out headcanons of them, but there are a few that linger in the back of my head:
Sometimes when c!Ranboo is enderwalking late at night he'll subconsciously wander over to c!Tommy's house out of an unidentified worry, and if c!Tommy is awake at that time (which he usually is, that workaholic) he'll lead the enderman back home and firmly tell him to stay like a misbehaving dog. It doesn't always work and it's not uncommon for c!Tommy to have an enderman trying to follow him undetected and failing.
c!Ranboo and c!Tommy frequently have cook-offs for different types of foods while c!Tubbo and Michael will be the judges. Everytime c!Ranboo wins c!Tommy blames it on the fact he's married to c!Tubbo and not because of the burnt food he made himself.
c!Ranboo schedules "play-dates" for Michael and Shroud as an excuse to hang out with c!Tommy, since the latter would insist he's too busy otherwise.
c!Tommy taught c!Ranboo how to garden, and its become one of their favorite past-times to do together.
c!Ranboo taught c!Tommy how to dance, though he's too embarrassed to ever practice.
c!Ranboo turns a blind eye when he sees c!Tommy snatching something from his chests because he has more than enough to spare (that rich loser).
It's not a lot and it gets shorter as the list goes on but that's all I can think of right now, they're criminally underrated and they make me want to shrivel up and DIE!! I love them so
#i hope i made my money's worth with this#i need to think and talk about them more often#also that teaching ctommy how to dance one kinnddaaa contradicts a itty bitty headcanon i have that dancing is a form of prayer#in the church of Prime but i think i could make both work with a little but of tuning to the wording#<- which i dont feel like doing right now lol#THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!!!!!!!!!!#ctommy#c!tommy#ctommyinnit#c!tommyinnit#cranboo#c!ranboo#calliumduo#callium duo#c!alliumduo#c!allium duo#crazed raccoon chitters

making a conscious effort to put more energy into indulgent personal art pieces - i've felt disconnected from creating Finished digital art recently and i have a hunch i've been too focused on creating products and worrying about my online shop. self-advertisement and maintaining an online presence in order to make money have always stressed me out, even when there's no actual pressure to deliver (ie. my very spotty newsletter that i don't know what to do with). i want to let go of the pressure to make art that is popular with prospective customers, and relearn how to make art that is for me first and foremost.
#🪲#i've been knitting a lot recently which is an inherently slow process#and knitting teaches you how to be patient and work slowly towards a satisfying result of your skills#and it is not - at least to me - a marketable skill or something i intend to ever make money off of#and its a very fulfilling break from doing what ive told myself I Have To Do - promote my etsy#post somewhat frequently#dont let people forget i exist#etc.

reading the novel, i love how blatantly indulgent of the juniors lan wangji is. when he was their age, he was duelling wei wuxian over broken rules and lived his life by behaving as precisely as what was expected of him, and now as an adult, he's basically letting the juniors do whatever they want as long as it isn't unsafe and generally letting the kids act like kids
which leaves wei wuxian to have to be the one playing bad cop. wei "has never followed anyone else's rules in his life" "bane of lan qiren's existence" "public enemy number one" wuxian has to be the one being like "oh my god don't burn money on someone else's doorstep, don't you know that's rude. you kids need to focus on your studies more, why isn't anyone teaching you anything useful, do i have to do everything myself around here"
#mdzs#it's really cute tbh#and not at all what you'd expect from a surface level impression of them#lwj has spent so much of his life being restrained and basically never got to be a kid#so he's so indulgent of these kids so they don't have to grow up miserable like he did#meanwhile wei wuxian was very unrestrained and then suffered because of it#so he's like you kids need to learn how to do things properly or else you are going to be Killed#they make a good teacher duo tbh#I love how much wwx seems to enjoy teaching them#I just love the bit when they're burning money on someone's yard#and wwx is like ''aren't you going to tell them to stop??''#and lwj is like ''you do it''#and so wwx is the one to go over and scold them#can you imagine being the lan juniors#you go to the mo estate and meet this guy who is notoriously gay and insane#who messes with your spiritual tools and sics some corpses on each other#and then he's hanging off of your esteemed hanguang-jun#who as far as you know has never had any friends#except this guy apparently#and then suddenly hanguang-jun is parading the notoriously insane guy around with his sacred forehead ribbon around his wrists#and the notoriously insane guy is very seriously scolding you for not knowing more about ghosts and is definitely doing necromancy#while hanguang-jun makes heart eyes at him#what would you even do with that

Thinking about Aziraphale taking away Nina's pain and anger and agency at the ball so that she can be the star of his Perfect Regency Romance and then twelve hours later offering to change her narrative mirror into a watered-down, idealized version of himself so that their relationship will be less complicated
#good omens#good omens 2#good omens meta#changing the bentley. denying elspeth the money she risked her life for to teach her a lesson. making people dance.#power. the greater good. 'if I'm in charge.'#it has been 0 days since someone said 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'

little rich boy sirius who gets disowned and can barely survive without his expensive brands and the basic human need to eat at least once a day meeting the entirely too generous james potter who just falls for the vanity and sincerity of the reformed rich boy and decides that once sirius stops caring about brands and status and rich boy things and just cares about what matters in life he decides to spoil his boyfriend to pieces because he’s secretly sitting on a fucking fortune
#idk i just think it’s funny#like james would find sirius when he’s struggling with money because he’s so bad at saving and prioritising his spendings because he’s never#had too before and so james would teach him how to do all that stuff and emotionally support sirius through it all and sirius just falls in#love with this beautiful guy who’s just so generous and who teaches him so many things and finds value in kindness and sincerity and#compassion and all that jazz and james falls in love with sirius helplessly because he might be stuck up and vein and kind of selfish and#is stuck up and cares all too much about status but he’s trying so hard to be better and he finds empathy because sirius got kicked out for#the worst reasons because he’s always been the black sheep of his highly cultist christian family or whatver and he’s also outwardly queer#and james decides that he wants to give sirius everything and loves the way he looks in expensive makeup and designer faux fur coats and#heels and divine jewellery and all that jazz but makes sirius sell it all and learn what it means to be human and not rely on money and#status and brands and stuff and sirius learns what it’s like to be decent and in touch with humanity and only then does james take sirius on#a surprise luxury holiday for his birthday or something and then just buys him thousands of dollars worth of all these glamorous looking#things and sirius is like omg what the fuck jamie and then he just becomes sirius’ sugar daddy because he can’t help himself but they’re#also in love and much better people because of it and when sirius buys things now it’s not because of brands or because they have big price#tags like he used too. he now buys things with james’ credit card he keeps in his own wallet because he thinks he’ll feel pretty in them or#because he thinks james will loose it if he sees sirius walking around in it or if he sees a really cute toaster that sends him into a#frenzy that has him spending all way too much on an impromptu kitchen renovation but james doesn’t care because as long as his boyfriend is#happy and actually paying attention to the price of things and calculating the best value and taking james’ opinion as well and just being#happy and safe and accepted in his new home and family here with his jamie#please i think they’d be so cute ugh!!!#prongsfoot#bambibelle#drabble#fic idea#marauders#james potter#sirius black#jay talks
