So another au where Audrey and Andre saw Gabriel and Nathalie with the miraculous like 5 years before the show started. So he freaked out and just replaced them with sentimonsters.

Chloe doesn’t figure it out though until the show starts and she’s having a breakdown because her “parents” have just been puppets to do Hawkmoth and Mayura’s bidding. She doesn’t know how she didn’t notice and god knows where her real parents actually are, so she has to get the main four to help her. Marinette thinks she’s just being crazy, Adrien’s worried. Meanwhile Alya and Nino are joining in because Chloe went to them for help and they think it’s mad enough it must be true.

Also Chlogami just because.

“kill yourself” boring. overrated insult. doesn’t hit hard anymore. “i hope your small relatively chill fandom gets a new installment after years of general inactivity that causes a flood of new and extremely insufferable fans to destroy any credibility or positive presence your fandom originally had” scary. realistic. happened to the Saw fandom

As a Cinderella Boy reader and fast-passer Idk where else to put this but I have THOUGHTS okay. Fast-pass episode 58 spoilers below the cut (obviously)

OKAY SO, “STILL WATERS PT.2” WAS PAINFUL, but I have thoughts. Not great thoughts cuz season finale be upon thee, but thoughts that need out! Chase has mentioned several times in previous chapters that he dislikes boats. Deacon laughs it off and says it’s just cuz he gets seasick, but he didn’t seem so seasick on the little ferry that rode calmly on a quaint lake.

Chase ALSO didn’t want to do the book where their ship wrecks and he and Deacon would get stranded on an island until Deacon said they’d use the bookmark trick and just chill on the beach.

He claims he doesn’t like water when Buddy tossed him in the ocean as revenge for a beach ball to the face (LOL) but he didn’t mind it all that much because it was shallow water. He DID NOT want to go in Deacon’s Ship books because storms are in the name and the water would likely be rough and deep and dangerous.

Now water is seeping in from everywhere and filling up the book and Chase is panicking about being stuck in a book with sudden rising water.

Do you see where I’m going here???

Guys. GUYS. I don’t think our boy can swim.

In my professional life offline, I work with community development programs funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). One of the most important of these programs is the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, or “HOME” (not an acronym for some reason). In the last couple years, my office has contributed HOME funding to construction of around 400 new apartment units reserved for low-income families, plus conversion of a former hotel to single-resident occupancy units for people exiting homelessness and security deposit assistance for renters moving into market-rate units. I have a secondary role in the HOME program (most of my work is on a different grant, although I’ve contributed to the environmental reviews for all of our current round of projects), but I am immensely proud of what our team has done with a limited resource in a horrifically expensive housing market.

In 2023, House Republicans proposed cutting HUD’s 2024 budget for the HOME program by 67%, from $1.5 billion to $500 million.

Their proposal didn’t make it into the final bill. The President and Senate (under Democratic leadership) proposed HOME budgets of $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The final compromise budget allocated HUD $1.25 billion for the HOME program, a 17% cut which was passed down to every local HOME jurisdiction.

I’m glad the budget cuts weren’t worse. But what this means, in practical terms, is that one out of every six people we could have helped this year gets nothing. One out of every six people who would have received rent assistance is facing eviction. One out of every six people that would have received an affordable unit priced at 30% of their income has to keep giving 50% or more of their paycheck to market-rate landlords. We’re doing what we can with local resources, but there’s only so much you can do at the local level when federal funding goes away.

House Republicans are trying to reduce HOME funding to just $500 million again in 2025. So far, the Senate has rejected this, but barring a miracle upset, Democrats are almost certain to lose control of the Senate after next week’s election. If Republicans keep control of the House, and especially if they keep the House and win the Presidency, there is nothing stopping them from gutting housing programs completely.

I understand why people are frustrated with our choices this election. I am frustrated with our choices this election. But at the end of the day, I have a duty to my community. With Democrats in office, I can keep fulfilling that duty. With Republicans in office, I will lose the best tools I have to make a material difference to the vulnerable people who live around me. The people I serve will lose their housing, or they will lose their best path out of homelessness. There is no way around it.

Please, give me the tools to keep helping. Vote for Democrats up and down ballot, and once we’ve got them in office, thank them for doing what they do well and pressure the hell out of them to do better on the issues where they suck.

Because of gerrymandering (and geographic issues in general), control of the House will probably come down to just a few dozen races. I’m not endorsing any of these candidates on a personal level - some of them are probably good, some of them definitely suck - but they are the only bulwark we have against a party that wants to dismantle everything good about this country and lean into all the most shameful parts of our history. Every election matters, but if you live in one of these House districts, your vote is particularly important:

i seriously need more narumi and mina moments because just imagine the relief mina felt when narumi joined, similar age to her and was also considered a prodigy in the force.

to have someone to share the burden of the defence force’s future with must’ve felt so freeing. because before he joined it was just her, age 18, being told that she was going to change kaiju extermination with her exceptional synergy with firearms. and she was so, so scared.

narumi doesn’t have the kind of skills or talent for long range combat like she does, but he’s also a top candidate (despite his behavioural issues- which aren’t much of a hinderance anyway) and mina doesn’t have to carry the burden of the future alone anymore

(although she’d never admit, given she probably views narumi as someone completely shocking i just think it’s so funny how she stood there like O_O when she first saw him)

like i LOVE seeing the contrast. mina who was sent onto the battlefield for the first time and was deathly afraid vs narumi who was sent out and immediately took action because that’s how he always lived (fighting)

and now they’re the top two strongest captains in the force and they will be the ones to lead the new generation..

Omggg I’m so sorry I have no idea how to actually do it, I just play around with the boop button a lot, I think you have to press the button and wait till it spins a few times and I guess that’s how you do it???, I’ve seen a lot of people sending it to me but I have no idea how to do and it doesn’t even say anything when I do it😭

I spend all day sleeping because the tummy troubles won’t quit and then when I am awake, I have the worst headache of my life. I am in pain from an unrelated injury and I haven’t eaten anything all day. I’m hungry but I know anything I consume has the potential to lay me out for the rest of the evening and I don’t want to spend the last of my Saturday in the bathroom.

I have to run a DnD campaign tomorrow, I do not have TIME for this kind of nonsense.

Soo I’m going insane and I’m asking for help out of pure desperation:

I was reading a spot of poetry before bed and one of the poems I read had the line

“life is but an empty dream”

And immediately I was like “oh that’s in a song!” And I sang it. But now I can’t figure out what song it’s from (at first I thought it was Evanescence but now I’m beginning to second guess that) I’ve scoured the internet, searched lyric websites. Nothing.

And that one line is stuck in my head. I need to go to sleep now but it’s just going around over and over. Life is but an empty dream. Life is but an empty dream. On a loop. I can hear it perfectly. But not the line that comes after it. Please. If anyone knows. Help me. I’m so tired.

Is it real? Did I make up a fake song?

Which artist is stealing lyrics from H.W Longfellow? I need to know!!

[truefandemonium]

This is a long shot but does anyone know of a Discord I can join dedicated to Bruce Campbell?? I’m looking for fellow fans/writers/admirers of Bruce and hoping I can find a place to just gush about him but I’m struggling 😭 (the gif is me without any Discord server)

Any help is appreciated!!
