Just finished Ascendance of a Bookworm 4.6 and I am cackling! Poor Syl, Kars, and Ferdi 😂 Their responses were gold. The understandable ‘how?!’ and ‘why?!’ were a delight to read.

Also I can’t believe Rozemyne wrote her reports like that. Even if others are missing some details everyone else’s report seemed like a report. But Mynes? Why did hers read like a text to a friend at the end of the day? (Spoilers)

Hey bestie, had tea with the librarian today and she apparently lives here I am jellyyyy. Got a new book from the state over isn’t that great! Maybe we should send one to the prince too? Tootles

Like I cannot her reports and neither can they 😂 🤣

As a reminder, I do blogging commissions on ko-fi, explaining things like economics, business, and writing advice. I do not write fic for money. You cannot commission fandom things from me, for legal reasons. However, you can hop over to this post that outlines my charity donations exchange for fic.

If you don't want to commission anything in particular, just want to support me, I do have both a regular ko-fi and a Patreon. Smaller donations (e.g. $1) are better through Patreon as I can withdraw in bulk to avoid losing over half to Paypal fees, and one-off donations are better through ko-fi, as it has a lower per-transaction percentage. I am not doing much on Patreon that you don't get on tumblr itself, but it's useful for the aforementioned fee structures situation. A $1 donation on ko-fi turns into either $0.48 or $0.67 after fees paypal/stripe fees, but is either $0.66 or $0.91 on Patreon.

No ETA: 500 words on the Econ/Business topic of your choice

Toss me $50 and a prompt, and I'll write 500 words on the econ/business topic of your choice, explaining it as I would to a five-year-old. I will DM you a tumblr link to the post once written, through ko-fi DMs. I do not promise a firm ETA, as my life is currently in a rather hectic state.

2 Week Maximum: 500 words on the Econ/Business topic of your choice

Toss me $75 and a prompt, and I'll write 500 words on the econ/business topic of your choice, explaining it as I would to a five-year-old. I will DM you a tumblr link to the post once written, through ko-fi DMs. For the extra $25, you get a promise that it'll be done within 2 weeks, instead of with a nebulous timeframe of the standard.

Growing up with parents who never bought me toys or anything else I wanted (it was a rarity), getting my own $ now I have a massive spending problem. I’ve been working for 2 years with barely a thousand to my name. I spent a lot on junk food and snacks (tryna solve this problem) but also on shopping with friends the rare times I go out or online shopping. I need to get serious this year because I really want to move out in the next two years when I’m done with getting my degree/license. Any tips please? Thank you.

Oh honey, we're so sorry you're going through this reaction to your childhood anxiety. But we're proud of you for identifying the problem and seeking solutions. You're going to be just fine.

just ran the numbers and i am very much strapped for cash and will be for the foreseeable future (barring some miraculous sudden windfall, which, not hedging my bets on that, so—)

with the new year ominously around the corner, i'm offering tarot readings for some insight into your year ahead:

$20 for a two-card check-in (want vs. need)

$45 for a basic four-card spread (the issue at hand + past/present/future influences and guidance)

$60 for an issue-specific spread (love, career, dream interpretation if you're into that, etc.)

$100 for the celtic cross (if you INSIST)

also!:

editing services (rate dependent on the project—DM me if you have anything in the works, and we can chat more. my experience ranges from résumés to fiction manuscripts in any and all stages of development. if you're indie publishing, i can also provide back cover text, taglines, and optimized search keywords for amazon.)

or, if you feel like just Giving Me Money but you want to give less than the aforementioned rates, here's my ko-fi.

(you can also buy my books! that money just takes a hot minute to actually get to me, so as much as my creative integrity would prefer this route... yk how it is.)

POV: You're a tired college student sitting in the lecture hall before Reca's class in 2.6

(written entirely based on the 2.6 trailer)

(update: I have never written anything so inaccurate in my life I wanna curl up into a ball orz )

You're attending Penacony's Paperfold University College. It's the middle of the night (it's Golden Hour, Penacony, it's always the middle of the night, good luck waking up on time for your classes LMAO) with a professor your film major buddies have only described as "passionate" and one outwardly finds super weird. You looked him up on the universe's equivalent of RateMyProfessor and he's sitting at 3.5 out of 5 stars because no one can live up to his exacting standards and also he's apparently a little crazy? Like you've had sadistic professors who loved failing their students, but you'd think they would mention that in the reviews. So who knows what that means. Hopefully nothing bad.

Anyway this is just a one-time seminar for fun so you're thankful, but the art building sucks. You're sitting in the coldest, draftiest lecture hall you've ever seen. You can hear the radiator hissing. The desks are so scratched and cut-up they look like they might give you splinters. For how many years have these desks existed? How many generations of animators and film people have been taking notes on this thing? Is this what all film majors have to suffer through? Hell, is this what all art majors have to suffer through? Thank goodness you're... not that.

And there's a chalkboard. If there's one thing you don't need when you're this exhausted, it's the sound of chalk squeaking on a chalkboard.

And while you're watching the seconds tick by, in walks a trio of people your age. and you're looking at them and you're like, none of them have ever been to a college before. (Probably offworlders.)

Like there's this guy with black hair who's just super quiet (way too quiet, and way too serious) but when's the last time you saw a college student carrying around a fresh case bound notebook that doesn't look like it was bought at the mall? Those things get destroyed if you carry them around in your bookbag for too long- you figured that out your first week. He looks way too ready to take notes amidst the background noise. He's writing the planet name, system date, and "Seminar with the film director Mr. Reca" at the top of that expensive looking notebook's second page. And the ink isn't feathering or bleeding through the page. Your animation friend would probably be obsessed with that paper, she keeps going on about how important good paper is, but you can't afford the stuff. Maybe you should ask him the brand later.

And he's being talked at by a pair of chatterboxes. One of them is, once again, way too well-dressed to be a habitual college student. She did her clothes up in blue, pink, and white to match her hair and eyes. It's pretty cute, all things considered- you wish you still had the energy to dress up like that at 6am. Maybe you should ask her for fashion advice. The pitch of her voice rises above the din of the room. "Ooooooh, I can't wait! This is going to be so cool! A seminar by a real film director! It's a shame Mr. Yang couldn't attend. He'd love this kind of stuff!".

The second chatterbox is this snarky looking person you can't really get a read on. They didn't even bring a notebook. They outright state they've never been to a college before. And now they're going on and on, trying to compare this lecture hall to buildings on planets you've never really heard of. "A museum on the cold, frosty planet Jarilo-IV"- your mind wanders for a moment as you consider what that would be like. Still, something about them seems to signal that they're a singularity of experience. They've probably seen more in a system year than you have in your entire lifetime. That might be why they keep speaking in words you don't understand. What's a 'surprised Pikachu face'? Must be one of those jokes that only makes sense if you were there to witness it.

Yeah, this strange-looking friend group is probably from off world. And they're probably adventurers at that. They probably don't want to be bothered with the ramblings of a tired college student.

The door opens. You hear leather boots on a wood floor, and the room quiets with the weight of a man's presence. He's finally here.

You sure hope everything goes smoothly. Getting stuck in the Oak Family's dream ruined your weekend that one time, but that was a long time ago. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? The professor traps the room in some kind of film reel dimension and a horde of monkeys attacks the campus? ... Nah, that would never happen.

lmao the eng devs still had the balls to promote the story sale on twitter and everyone's clocking their shit

I hope I am doubly rewarded for my efforts...I'm guaranteed Rafayel's Omniscient(?) card since I lost to Foreseer Zayne (never expected I'd get his copy again) in the next 35 pulls....why does fishie soulmate have to be so mean? 😭😭😭

Why do geniuses (i) got suicidal tendencies🤭

not only you but sometimes i do think the same…

until i realize that if i decide to off myself then i won’t be able to online shop make up and skincare anymore and i backtrack😔

[whewchilly]

in a completely non-condescending way btw sometimes i do feel bad for newer fans bc theyve come into this sport through netflix capitalising on behind the scenes or plain manufactured drama as well as a genuinely exciting 2021 season not realising that single team domination is kinda the name of the game in f1 and we only sometimes get an actual title fight and even rarer one that goes on the whole season like the last 2 years have been rife with some pretty hot takes and sometimes plain conspiracy theories by fans trying to explain why their fave team/driver isn’t succeeding, instead of coming to the realisation that they’ve just been sold a dud

[gothicprep]

ngl whenever I see people try to argue that things like adhd, depression, anxiety, etc aren’t expressions of neurochemistry but are instead a reaction to capitalism or something diabolically stupid like that, it always makes me think of this old tweet:

if aliens landed on the planet tomorrow and their only measurement of earth culture was our posts, they’d probably think capitalism is a synonym for general malaise.
