#more expensive and worse
Text
This is so depressing.
#romance novels#the cartoon covers have totally taken over#more expensive and worse#I’m not saying they’re all bad but#(a) most of them are contemporary romance which I don’t like nearly as much#and (b) it’s hard to tell the New Rom Com Romance from the kind I like#idk whenever I read the new rom com type#I’m just like#this worked better in fanfic#or this worked better in a romantic comedy movie that put more emphasis on the comedy#or this worked better when it was the 2000s and it was called chick lit#chick lit is so interesting to me as a basically dead genre#because I read it all the time in middle/high school#and there was a lot of sex and shopping#but there were also a lot of novels about ordinary women dealing with regular life stuff#like light-hearted in tone but they took regular adult life seriously#and it’s kind of bizarre that they were so dismissed#hot take but Tom Perrotta and Nick Hornby are both chick lit writers

I love Raph and haven’t said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy who’s a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt raph#rise raph#he’s so wonderful frfr#my poor boy is traumatized but still so proud of what they accomplished because they’re HEROES#what started as something fun - Saturday morning cartoon-like heroes vs villains esque - soon becomes his calling#and he loses himself a little along the way#because the world is TERRIFYING now#if they don’t do something about the bad things in the world then worse things will come#and Raph CARES too much to let it happen#even at the expense of his own happiness and youth#and he luckily reigns back that fear - knowing his family is there to keep an eye out with him#and he finally lets himself be a kid again#he’s very well rounded and his flaws are so good because (like the others) they are ALSO his strengths#I like how it’s softly implied that bears are his fav animal too bc that’s cute af#headcanon that he likes them so much because a stuffed bear was the first toy splinter managed to get Raph#but yeah one of my favorite things about tmnt is that the characters are well rounded and rottmnt exemplifies that immensely#with raph being no exception!!#amazing big brother and character#there’s a REASON in my tmnt main character tierlist he’s S tier!!!!#hot take but in terms of who should be leader I think it should be less who’s the better leader-#-and more who’s the better leader FOR THIS SPECIFIC MISSION#bc all four can be great leaders fight me on that#APRIL can as well 100%#doesn’t need a designated leader for them to succeed#they just need ~communication~#one of my favorite things tying Raph and Leo together is that they both *hide*#I’ve talked about Leo’s many masks a lot but Raph has one too#and it’s the mask of a hero - the mask of the protector

sorry im emotonal and going off of the other asks sent about machete and just i need to stress how beautiful it is to me that machete sees himself so undeserving of love and affection and feeling as if vasco's too good for him but despite all that he is so incredibly devoted to vasco and loving towards him (in his own way) but is so incredibly clear to anyone with eyes that just how in love he is with vasco. like it's not done out of a "oh god please never realize that you're too good for me here here let me overdo it with the affection" its done with the "i love you, and will always love you, no matter what happens to us or separates us, and i will give it to you as long as i am able, and if you ever leave, i won't be okay, but will still love you, and want you happy". like he doesn't use his own feelings of being undeserving taint his love or the way he loves for vasco, and it's so, so beautiful
.
#;M;#oauhh#that's so sweet I'm in shambles and so glad to hear all of that#sometimes I worry about whether I'm communicating their chemistry correctly#it would be so easy for this sort of relationship to gain suffocating and possessive and overall just abusive tones#and even though you could argue it would be a source for juicy drama I just don't want that#Machete could selfishly exploit Vasco's care and altruism without giving anything in return#or worse let his paranoia and jealousy get the better of him and end up destroying them both because if he can't have Vasco no one can#and Vasco could leverage his influence over Machete to manipulate and use him because out of them two he's the more mentally stable one#and it would be easy to take advantage of Machete's vulnerability obedience and his trust that Vasco would never harm him#but I don't know maybe it's a bit tropey and idealistic but I really just want these dogs to be genuinely good for each other#they have so many things working against them already I don't wish to see them backstab each other as well#they have a bit of a 'us against the world' thing going on which I really like#they're not perfect there's issues they're trying to work on but the will to get through it together is there#and I want to make it seem like they wouldn't hesitate to prioritize the other one's happiness and wellbeing at their own expense#if it came to that#anwered#anonymous

actually like... buck is not christopher's dad. he really isn't. he's helping eddie parent but he's not actually a parent himself. and i think trying to exaggerate buck's place in chris's life for the buddie of it all not only does a disservice to eddie as a father a lot of times but... to the buddie of it all. the fact that buck is not at all chris's dad right now but that chris and eddie are not only unfazed when he does but frequently invite him to touch the boundaries of fatherhood - that eddie says you were there for him when i couldn't be - speaks to the weirdness and all the things about them that they can't really name, and it doesn't really make sense to name it preemptively. buck is not christopher's dad but he wouldn't have to think twice about stepping into that role alongside eddie and eddie would let him - that's what's so insane!
#like i understand the sentiment but buck is very much not actually parenting chris. he COULD. he is closer to parenting#chris than anyone else has ever been probably even though he's not actually parenting him THAT'S WHAT'S INSANE#just can't stop thinking about the anon who talked about fandom's tendency to inflate buck at the expense of eddie#and i think there's a way to talk about buck+chris without doing that. i wish we did it more. it makes things crazier#what's actually happening on the show is 10x worse than popular fanon interpretations#*

it. is. CRAZY being like "oh I want to keep my pet healthy, maybe I should look into upgrading to a higher quality food" and you do a bunch of googling abt what percentages of fat/protein/etc a food should be and you find the stuff that's the Most Recommended for dog health or whatever it is, and then you look at the reviews for what is apparently a very reputable brand and it's like DOG DIED DOG HAD BLOODY DIARRHEA DOG IS LOSING FUR I FED MY PUPPY THIS AND HIS KIDNEYS ALMOST SHUT DOWN AT 3MO OLD DOGS VOMITED HAD TO BE ON FLUIDS AT THE VET
like. huh... I see <-- doesn't get it at all
#SAY AGAIN DEPUTY???????#man. fuck. what#on second thought maybe Hugo's kibble is expensive enough.#I'm not gonna shop around for new food unless my vet tells me to. tbh#sometimes... things that are expensive.......... are worse#it's so weird too bc the first few ingredients for his food aren't as High Quality sounding as the ones for the poison food#but the bad reviews for HIS food are like. too expensive!! this food should have more Pure ingredients#and I'm like yeah sure I agree with you that it's very pricy and everything but nobody's in here saying their dog's organs shut down#so. eat up boy#sergle.txt

man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.
and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.
idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?
#idk i think about them a lot#its like almost a dark!charlie au but not exactly yknow#vaggie being happy and carefree and steadfast in her beliefs before her fall#the angst potential is ugh#chef kiss#anyway#chaggie#charlie morningstar#vaggie hazbin hotel#vaggie#hazbin hotel#rainbowmoth#to some extent i do think charlies optimism is a front#not like shes disingenuos#but where alastor smiles so nobody knows whats going on under the surface (manipulative)#charlie smiles so nobody knows whats going on under the surface (defensive)#if she smiles through the pain did it really happen?#if she laughs at jokes at her own expense do they still hurt?#ow i hurt myself with this one#and then imagine vaggie never experiencing shame or guilt or regret before she fell#imagine how much worse those would feel the first time experiencing them#her entire world drops out from under her and it leaves scars#both physically AND mentally#but her scars make her softer#gentler#but also sadder and yes more defensive#just not the same way charlie is#the two of them seeing gentleness borne of violence in each other#UGH i have to write it dont i

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it
#theres no peace#every little thing reminds me we are poor#seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time#im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly#the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job#and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support#and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money#because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live#its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin#time#cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for#sorry for the ranting i cant sleep#truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin#more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful#i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it#i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things#spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income#not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

After hours, days of research, I have concluded that all aquarium lighting is a scam
#fishblr#you shouldn't be paying over 100 for a freshwater light or over 200 for a reef light#DO NOT by budget lines from expensive brands#they are worse and more expensive then cheap brands#most lights grow plants well#same with corals#what youre paying for is how they make your plants/corals look to your eyes#do not let anyone convince you that buying a cheap brand will make your plants/corals die

Parents: No

Parents: No

2024
Me: I work in a different city almost everyday this month. Can I take the train to save gas and money?
Parents: No
Parents, a week later: Buy a train pass because gas is expensive
Me: Okay, but I don't get paid until Tuesday
Parents, that Tuesday: Don't get a pass; we'll take you to work
Me: Alright, then I'm going to spend this $85 on food and gas
Parents, yesterday: You're taking the train to work tomorrow because gas is expensive
Me, to myself: If you'd actually teach me to drive, we wouldn't be having this problem
#summer is busy season#augest is when most of our shows come in#i take the theatre in our dtate capitol#I don't have a drivers license because no one that can legally take me driving will take me for more than maybe 8 hours every other month#i'm not salty about this#why do teain passes even exist? it's bullshit#(I think it's Sweden) Sweden has the right idea about public transport#i think#i juat know that the system here is expensive as shit#why can't they make up their damn minds about this?#also#$85 is for a single month pass#i only need it for two weeks#to be fair to my parents#i was 17 when i first asked#honestly#I don't think my anxiety could handle being on the train anymore#it's only gotten worse as i've gotten older#besides i don't do well in crowded places#especially if they're small like a train#we'll see how we feel tomorrow#also also#I won't say anything about the drivers license because they both find ways to lightly guilt trip me into not bringing it up for a month#that's my rant done#i gotta go sleep

One of the other ways clothing is steadily getting worse: pants of all kinds are getting thinner and show underwear lines almost as a standard now, even when the lines of the underwear are thin and masked with lace. This wasn´t a problem years back, but now I have to check every pair of dress pants I try on, and even some jeans - JEANS - for underwear lines.
"Just wear seamless underwear-" they're all made of plastic fabrics which aren't good for the bacterial enviroment of the coochie bc they don't breathe. The solution to all fabrics getting thinner and thinner should NOT be "buy bad plastic underwear instead".
#other stories has ONE model of dress pants that dont do this and is very flattering#begging on my knees that they dont ruin it for more profit also please release it in more colors#also another gripe I have: my newer jeans wrinkle much easier than older ones we're only talking a few years old and it's gotten worse#so fast#'just iron/steam them' oh I am BUT SHOULD I HAVE TO??#lots of clothing has always needed to be steamed or ironed#but lately many clothing items get wrinkly immediately instead of lasting two wears without having to do it again#clothing getting shittier and shittier#more expensive clothing is not immune to this they have to promise shareholders eternal growth too#also all the more mid end clothing brands which claim to focus more on quality#insist on only producing oversized clothing in beige or black#like I already know I look a tent in oversized/baggy beige clothing#fashion industry#ellen vents

WARNING: The final boss fight for "Shadow of the Erdtree" just got leaked and the Wiki is filled with spoilers!
It's a MASSIVE spoiler for both gameplay and lore.

If you don't want the ending ruined before June 21st, avoid social media sites like Twitter, the Elden Ring Wiki pages and the sub-reddits for ER.
TIME TO GO DARK, SOULS FOLKS!
See you on the 21st! ⚔️
#i keep saying the before the 21st but realistically speaking only a couple of psychos are going to speedrun the DLC#and finish it in less than 24 hours which means it'll take most of us much longer to actually beat the DLC than them#and experience the new content and lore at our own pace#the 21st is just the mark off day for when spoilers become official and ten times more common to stumble across#which is worse if you're like me and take things slow and savor your gameplay experience like fine wine#so honestly every major media site ER is affiliated with is goiyto be a FIELD OF LANDMINES for a lot of us#so if you aren't attached at the hip to your social media sites i highly advise going dark so to speak#if you don't care about spoilers and want to discuss SOTE spoilers that's fine just DON'T intentionally ruin someone else's experience#tag your posts appropriately!!! put a header up warning folks and just be considerate in general#that's about it i think?#HAVE FUN EVERYONE (just not at the expense of others) 😄👍🏽#elden ring#elden ring dlc#shadow of the erdtree#elden ring shadow of the erdtree#elden ring theory#elden ring lore

at work now we get two (2) personal days and i decided to take my first one today and I wanted to complete TWO (2) tasks: doing my taxes and locating+touring a place and i am proud to say that i did both of those things so naturally i am rewarding myself with ICE CREEEEEEEEEEAM
#trying to find a place to live makes me want to die#every part of this process makes me want to pull my hair out#everything is too expensive#and every place that i can afford to buy is a place where you don’t want to live if you can help it#poor people problems#the place we looked at today was a co-op and i was like ‘tell me more’#and the nice man told me like ‘imagine an HOA but worse. if you want to live there you have to be approved by a board of directors’#like even more restrictive and probably racist#so back to zillow i go 🤷🏾♂️#but i’ll be on zillow with ice cream 😎
