Roommaarriage

Luffy and Law live togheter.

They started living together after Luffy's older brother, Ace, decided to go on a trip around the world with his friends. Luffy was left alone and besides being terrible at taking care of himself, he hates loneliness.but none of his friends had space for him, already having their own roommates or living with their parents. So, Law proposes that they live together, he lives in a huge house and has a huge crush on Luffy, it doesn't hurt to help the guy he likes, even if it can cause a lot of headaches. and hes right, in less than a week everything is already a mess, Luffy's friends come to visit, everything is noisy and so chaotic in the house that used to always be quiet and peaceful.

Still, he persists, determined not to go back on his decision and simply kick Luffy out of the house. That's when everything gets confusing; Luffy was always clingy and honest with how he felt, but since he moved in with Law, this has become more frequent and more intense.He hugs Law in the morning when he wakes up, kisses him on the forehead to thank him for the food, he carries Law when he decides that Law has to sleep no matter what, he sits on Law's lap when they are watching TV, he goes to the hospital to remember Law of eating and worst of all: he often, all the time, at any time, in any place, on any occasion, tells Law that he loves him. And it just drives Law crazy. He knows it's not a lie, Luffy doesn't lie. Luffy loves him, it's just not the love Law wants it to be

All of their domesticity, all of their intimacy, all of it drives Law crazy. He wants all of it, but he also wants more. He is in love with Luffy and has no idea what to do, after all he doesn't want to just ruin their friendship and lose it all because of his greed. So, after months of freaking out about all this, he decides that what's best for everyone is if he puts some boundaries between them, draws a firm line between them, friendship, something less intimate and less...suggestive. something that allows him to sleep properly at night.

Meanwhile, Luffy is confused, Torao has been acting strangely, moving away from him, not letting him touch him or kiss him, almost like in the beginning, when he moved in and Law was still shy. Could this be what people call problems in paradise? WILL TORAO FILE FOR DIVORCE? And suddenly Law has Luffy's friends calling desperately wanting to know what happened? Why are they getting divorced so soon? Why is Luffy depressed about the end of their marriage? Why is the marriage ending in the first place???

. . . <- about to keel over.

landlord did not send me the lease until today. i signed it and have done everything except pay the prorated rent. they wont give me access to the apartment until i pay. however, the amount they're asking for is based off the full rental amount and not based on what should be my portion. i dont know what my portion will exactly be, the housing people haven't told me. emailed the housing people, i get an autoresponse "hey we're closed today! we'll respond next business day (monday) (day after ur supposed to move)." this is funny to me, bc landlord had to send the signed lease over to the housing people and housing people sent me a form earlier today, so like. someone *was* working.

You know you live in a country with earthquakes when the Evacuation Experience Center is a fun place to take the family.

Hey Ontario folks, since we're in the time of year when the temperature is dropping but a lot of landlords haven't bothered to turn the heat on yet, the Landlord Tenant Board requires that rental units in Ontario be heated to 20 degrees C from Sept 1 - June 15. Your local municipality might set the requirement higher - for example, in mine it's 21 degrees C throughout the year.

Please note that this only applies to units where your landlord provides heat - so, for example, in an apartment where the heat is controlled by the landlord, not in a house you rent where you can turn the heat up and down. (Also worth noting that if you live in the same unit as your landlord - for example, renting a room in your landlord's house - LTB regulations do not apply to you.)

But yeah if it's fucking cold in your apartment or rental unit and you don't control the heat, ask your landlord to turn it on - and if they're an asshole about it, and the LTB covers you, call them on it or file a complaint.

And if you're not sure about how cold/warm your place is, buy one of those cheap outdoor thermometers and keep it somewhere. I bought one last year just so I could call my landlord on keeping the place like 4 degrees below the requirement.

I can't speak for other places, but most will have similar heat requirements, so check your local tenancy laws!!

us: uhh march 2018

lady: and when did you start living together?

us: july 2018

lady: 4 months?

us: that's love!!!

Do people commission artists/caligraphers for hyousatsu or how does it work? Especially with uncommon names or styles.

It hadn't occurred to me that you might commission them, how interesting! Google says that does happen, but I believe it's mostly from design companies. My icon is actually from a simulator like this where you can input text and try out different typefaces, designs, materials, etc.

If you wanna try it out, click the left icon ("Choose from series") to see all the different templates. (Or choose by door type [middle] or from the gallery [right].) If you find one you like, click the green button below it. From there it's mostly self-explanatory regardless of Japanese ability :)

Am I bringing my larger suitcase so that I have room to bring back an Icelandic sweater and/or lots of new yarn?

Yes, yes, I am.

i was dumb and misread a tenancy agreement as a rental application when i was signing it (which i would have signed anyway but it speeds the process up a bit lmao) so NOW im almost definitely moving into an apartment with my sister on march 1st which is exciting!! big things to come!!! bob's burgers calenders to hang etc
