#make money by teaching

[arsenicflame]

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)

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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"

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
