#so i cancelled and ordered it on ebay

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Why do I feel like ordering the book of bill online for me is fucking cursed at this point.

bid on a regular switch on ebay. got outbid, saw another listing for an animal crossing edition switch for the same price as the normal one, so i bid on that one instead of trying to up my bid on the normal one, assuming that the price would just keep going up anyway. then just as the original auction for the regular switch was about to end, i saw the price was still only $2 more than i originally bid for it, so i impulsively went for that one, thinking that surely I'll be outbid on the animal crossing switch anyway so it won't be a big deal. $150 and like new condition with all the accessories that it originally came with? what a steal! surely someone will try for it. the past two days have been a torturous waiting game of hoping to be outbid on one of the listings so i don't have buy both them.

long story short by the end of the week i will be someone who owns two switch consoles

my ii dvd arrived like 2 weeks ago and i still haven't gotten around to watching it it's just been sadly neglected on my bookshelf :'(

i need to sort out some form of dvd player which requires effort because i do have one but that means unplugging one of my monitors from my pc and putting it into the dvd player which frightens me

🦈 Flip4Flip KiriBaku HCs!💥

title sounds like I’m speaking in code lmao. anyway, I present to u one of my fav pairs w a flip dynamic :3 (wrote this at 3:00 AM sorry if it’s bad lolol)

These are platonic but can be interpreted as romantic? ^___^

💥 ~ Katsuki is a toddler regressor, while Eijirou is a middle regressor. They regress to 4 and 14 respectively, Katsuki a lot more often than Eijirou.

🦈 ~ Eijirou has an oral fixation that gets more prominent when he slips. A lot of the time, he’ll subconsciously chew on water bottle caps or his shirt collar, which Katsuki immediately shuts down with a chew necklace and a scolding for ruining his teeth.

💥 ~ Food is tricky for Katsuki. He’s not necessarily picky but his sensory issues get in the way. This has resulted in Eijirou having to get real creative with his snacks to incorporate healthy foods and even beg Aizawa to let them order takeout on multiple occasions, lest the boy starve.

🦈 ~ Contrarily, food is practically Eijirou’s love language. On the days his regression fog and insecurity won’t let him out of bed, Katsuki will deliver him a fresh, home-cooked meal. Every time, without fail.

💥 ~ It’s not uncommon for Katsuki to go non-verbal when he slips, especially in the presence of authority figures. After unveiling this discovery, Eijirou took it upon himself to make him communication cards. He let Katsuki write some too, which consisted of an ungodly amount of insults and vulgarity.

🦈 ~ Katsuki insists on being the one to re-dye Eijirou’s hair, mostly because it’s the only form of physical affection he can comfortably tolerate and he knows Eijirou melts at it.

💥 ~ When they first decided to be one another’s caretakers, Eijirou bought Katsuki a pair of noise cancelling earmuffs to help with his meltdowns. To his dismay, Katsuki only uses them to pretend he doesn’t hear Eijirou telling him it’s bed time.

🦈 ~ Words of Affirmation vs Acts of Service.

💥 ~ Katsuki has a fascination with insects, especially millipedes. Eijirou deliberately floods him with questions about bugs just to see his face light up at the opportunity to talk about them. His favorite pet name for him is bug.

🦈 ~ Eijirou’s random EBay shark and Katsuki’s IKEA octopus are best friends.

💥 ~ They both keep their gear in Eijirou’s dorm because it’s easier to hide. Eijirou doesn’t have much since his regression doesn’t change his behavior as drastically, mostly just chewelry and a regression journal. Katsuki didn’t allow himself gear out of shame, but Eijirou buys him some in secret and shows him when he’s little.

🦈 ~ Eijirou’s regression is completely involuntary and spaced out. No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t slip if he isn’t negatively triggered. But during bad stress highs, Katsuki treats him as if he’s regressed anyway to calm him down.

💥 ~ Katsuki hates being dependent, so often-times, Eijirou will give him small tasks to do like picking up his toys just to satiate him, even though he doesn’t mind doing it himself.

I'm gonna start ebegging now. I've contacted some eBay sellers that I made stupid purchases with asking to cancel orders but uh.

If you haven't been following Ricky's Bipolar Adventures(TM) I've been hypomanic for about a week and a half now. Kissed my best friend and probably ruined our friendship and spent a bunch of money I didn't realise I don't have. Lots of it on booze and cigarettes, which can't be refunded. I've been in contact with my GP and we're trying to halt this bad boy but uh. Yeah its the worst episode I've ever had and now I don't have enough money for rent 😖😭

Help a bipolar fuck up pay rent this month? I'm sorry to ebeg again so soon and I fucking hate myself for having to this but bipolar is fucking evil, guys. It sucks so bad.

TL;DR bipolar. Hypomanic episode. Spent too much money. Aaaaa. Help me.

$0/170 due by the 30th April - payfriend here

some autism headcanons for scott fritz and vincent in my au <3

scott

- hes so bad at everything socializing </3 its not even that he doesnt like talking to people, he does, but he does tend to get frantic when he talks and a lot of people find it very hard to get through a conversation with him. his words come out jumbled a lot, he loses track of what hes saying, he has absolutely no idea how to read social cues or body language and so he just nervously and aimlessly rambles on and on about whatever until he feels like hes done, he says whatevers on his mind with no filter, hes awful at small talk, and he doesnt have a good grasp on what is a normal conversation topic. he really wants friendship and connection with other people, but he has no idea how to go about it and as a result has no close friends. scott i love you so dearly

- similarly scott is very blunt (as seen on the phone calls) he does not tiptoe around anything or sugarcoat, he will straight up tell you whatever and then scramble to deal with the aftermath of whatever he said

- scott fidgets with his hands a lot and uses plenty of hand gestures, he also fumbled with his cord sometimes when hes overwhelmed (usually when hes talking) he also has a fidget spinner he got from storage back when those were popular that he uses sometimes

- he thrives on order but his sense of order is not at all a normal one, so what may seem disorienting to someone else makes perfect sense to him. he also really likes to organize things but his organization makes no sense to anyone but him. he also does not like when people move his things (he HATES when vincent uses his mug while hes on night shift)

fritz (he also has adhd which affects his autism a lot)

- like scott hes not great at talking to people, but unlike scott hes aware of the social blunders he makes. he knows that most people arent interested in hearing him talk on and on and on about his interests, but he finds it hard to have a meaningful conversation with someone without bringing them up. dealing with the animatronics is a lot easier for him since they dont judge and also are one of his special interests, so he does often feel more seen by them. he knows that the really should talk to his coworkers instead and he does try to get better about it

- his sleep schedule is busted because he loses track of time really easily when he thinks about/does something related to his special interests. he will lose sleep reading old freddys forums and scrolling ebay for freddys merch because he gets so into the zone that everything else gets blocked out

- he has auditory processing disorder which obviously acts up in a building full of loud music arcade games and screaming kids so he cant hear what someone says to him 80% of the time. he also talks loud so he can hear himself

- it can be hard for him to care about problems/situations that dont include his interests and so he is often percieved as lazy or in his own world

- hes terrible at multitasking

- he isnt very good at volume control especially when he gets excited about something

vincent

- he hates loud noises (source: vincents voice actor doing a skit about him not being a fan of loud noises where he literally beats scott to death for ringing too loud, also shown in a few of the og comics) which is part of why he hates the kids at fazbears. sometimes he tries to wear noise cancelling earbuds to drown them out but scott will tell him to take them out if he sees them </3 he gets pissy when hes overstimulated by sound and sometimes will just sneak off and hide somewhere for a while in the quiet (usually in the storage room behind the prize counter or in parts and services)

- toast is his comfort food obv, hes picky with what he eats and usually only eats easy safe foods

- he does the fucking t rex arms thing all the time

- he has very strong reactions to things he doesnt like (example: the pink uniforms)

- socializing with people is weird for him: he doesnt particularly seek out talking to people, and most of the time he actively dislikes it and avoids it, but there are a few people that he does enjoy talking to. of course, most of the enjoyment comes from tormenting them. besides whatever favorite person he has at the time (my bpd king <3333) he usually finds people to be simple and one dimensional, and he only latches onto people he deems as being interesting enough to study. vincent finds studying people from afar significantly easier and often more enjoyable than actually talking to them face to face since theres less pressure on him to perform and hes free to do what he pleases

- he has control issues and hates change especially when it comes to freddys which is his dollhouse of sorts. he has a very specific vision for the people and dynamics there, and if something major were to change he would not be happy. if one of the staff (that he deals with) were to quit, he would rather kill them than let them leave, even if it was someone he didnt really care about

- he inherited his uncles freddys merch and still collects it + he also collects knives (mostly ones he can actually use but he has some just for show too)

Last week was wonderful -- my trip to Toronto went off without a hitch (well, I got slightly lost a couple of times, but not to the point that I was stressed out -- and anyone who knows me irl will tell you that that's saying something lol), and even the weather co-operated (Toronto can be even hotter and muggier than Montreal in the summer, but the temperature was pleasant, there was no humidity, no rain, a nice breeze, and it was lovely and cool in the mornings). ☺️

When I got home, the opossum plushie I'd ordered from eBay was waiting for me -- something I'd attempted to order twice before! (The first time the order had to be cancelled because of the bloody postal strike, the second time they accidentally sent the wrong item -- they refunded my money, and because of the looming second postal strike they said that I could keep it anyway! 😲❤️)

But now that I'm home, the crap resumes anew ...

I just had to go to the hardware store to get a new toilet tank lever -- the old one broke this morning. All the way up to the Canadian Tire at the Alexis Nihon Plaza, 10 minutes from my store. (The only other place is Rona, on Wellington St -- which is pedestrian-only in the summer, and so I would've had to walk all the way from the temporary bus stop on LaSalle Blvd.) 😡

I could've gone on the way to work this afternoon, but that would've meant that my cousin would've had to flush by lifting the flapper manually -- and I would've had to install the new lever when I got home this evening.

Ya'll why is it so difficult to be a Jason Todd girlie in this economy

First I ordered an Arkham Knight Jason funko off Amazon - Amazon said there was one left in stock, right? I wait a few days and we end up having to cancel the order. Fine — NEXT, I order from Walmart who also says they have one left in stock. Cool. AND THEN YESTERDAY THEY CANCELLED ON ME??

I had to order him off ebay this time. I've been yearning for this funko since I was like 16 I need this cookie 🙏

Look at this silly guy

Now look at the funko version.

do y'all want to hear about my yarn drama

trick question you don't have a choice now

went to Joann today because i decided to be a big boy and stop being scared of variegated yarn

decided beforehand that i really really wanted Big Twist Rave in Electric Slime (it is a black and bright green yarn cake)

could not find it but it's whatever, i got more yarn anyways

get home, decide to look at the Joann website to see if i can order this yarn for pickup

21 in stock at my local store! i didn't see them just now when i went but maybe they were in the back ^w^

so i place an order for pickup and get 8 yarn cakes cause they're 50% off on the website and i don't know if i'll find them again

half an hour later i get a text that my order is cancelled

look at the site and electric slime no longer shows up as in stock 🫠

well shit

does ebay have any?

one listing on the whole site with $15 per yarn cake

no thanks, they're currently priced at $4 on Joann's website

Reddit says the color is discontinued 💀💀💀

panic sets in

set my location to a store an hour away from me that says they have 18 in stock and place an order for 8 of them again

so far it hasn't been cancelled so let's hope they actually have them

i'll reblog with an update on whether or not i get them

[obstinaterixatrix]

I was getting a very specific bday gift for a pal a few months in advance. and the first time I tried ordering it from ebay, the seller ended up cancelling the order because it got sold as a listing on another site JUST before I put in the order. and just now I found out the second time I tried ordering, the seller reached out to the post office because they hadn’t gotten any updates and the post office said it was probably lost in the mail, so they cancelled it. I’m gonna try to order this one (1) more time and if I don’t get it this time it’s simply not meant to be

[hoiststowline]

so I had found an issue 1 variant on eBay but the seller canceled the order because they said they no longer had the item. but!! I found this variant of issue 4! so excited :)

Important Announcement About My Etsy Shop

From December 8th 2024 I will no longer be selling to the EU or NI

Sadly, like many other small businesses I am going to have to stop selling from my Etsy shop to counties in the EU (European Union) and Northern Ireland from December 8th 2024 (this does not include non-EU European countries and the UK).

This is because of the new GPSR rules that come into law on December 13th that dictate I must pay for an EU ‘responsible person’, have safety information about all my products in every language, have risk assessments for... stickers? There has been no word on what small and micro business can do about this, if handmade goods are exempt, etc. This applies to anyone selling to the EU and NI, even if you’re just selling your old clothes on Ebay or Depop and aren’t a registered business or sole trader.

If you are in an EU country or Northern Ireland and want anything from my shop you’ll need to purchase it now. If rules come out in the future for how this applies to small businesses, I may be able to reopen to these countries, but that might never happen. I do sell some of my art as prints, stickers and t-shirts on RedBubble and that seems to be staying open to the EU and NI but I can’t put much fanart on there and please only use that as a last resort as I don’t get much profit from RedBubble.

If you’re in the EU or Northern Ireland and have an open pre-order with me I will still get it shipped out to you, you don’t have to cancel your order.

I’m sorry this is such short notice; I didn’t find out about this until recently and was waiting and hoping there would be updates and clarifications but there has been nothing. It’s all so vague and confusing, and there’s no guides for how small businesses or just individual people selling their second-hand goods can go about this. And if you send something out without all this safety information and without contact information for your EU ‘responsible person’ you could be fined thousands per item you sent. I can’t risk that.

I started playing violin in sixth grade. That same year, American girl released a functional violin for dolls. It came with a music stand and two music workbooks that were the same ones we used in class. I desperately wanted that violin even though I didn't have a doll. Well, now I have one (dozen) doll(s) and the day before yesterday I got a notice of a violin set for super cheap on Mercari. So I bought it.

Today it occurred to me that the set doesn't come with rosin. So I looked it up and apparently the violins they make now are plastic and nonfunctional! I didn't know that till today, so I hadn't asked before buying if the set I ordered was the original wood one that made a sound when played. It shipped yesterday, too late to cancel the order without feeling guilty, so I decided to look up and save some new listings that were definitely the wood ones, just in case the one I got turned out to be plastic. If it was wood, I planned to delete the saves from my lists.

This is how I found a 1996 recital outfit (which looks just like the ones we wore for middle school concerts but was off my radar then because I didn't have a doll) that came with not only a functional wood violin and the stand and books, but also a flute! I ordered that too, because it was a reasonable price and I had been planning to get the recital outfit eventually. I figured I could sell whichever violin set I didn't want and the flute together to recoup my costs for the first violin set.

Only thennnnnn I learned that there also exists an entire doll-sized music store, to include a cello, an orchestral percussion set, and a recorder. Which they are calling a flutophone but it looks just like the recorders we played in third grade. Among others - guitars galore, ukulele sets, drums, keyboards, a piano. You could really make a whole school orchestra in 1/3 scale with everything they've come out with since that first tiny violin.

And now I am reconsidering selling the extra violin and the flute, and thinking about buying a cello, flutophone, and percussion set so I can have a whole dolly orchestra. They'll all need recital outfits, for obvious reasons.

I need an Adultier Adult to take my eBay and Mercari passwords away please.

I will literally piss on all these ebay (and other) resellers. It is because of them buying in bulk that there has been no stock of the steelbook (even for people like me who pre-ordered it from the beginning). They bought a bunch and are now reselling them on other platforms at higher prices (obviously). It is a limited edition, so this was always to be expected. But as I said, it fucks over us individuals, especially the biggest fans of the movie AND EVEN TO THOSE WHO PREORDERED IT THE FIRST DAY(S), which should give high priority.

I am crying. This ish always happens to me (normally bc i live in an african island that always has trouble receiving stuff). I looked at the reviews and saw others have in fact received it, but there was a review from a girl who hadn’t yet.

The same day the steelbook officially came out and was supposed to be shipped i got an email saying that my order would be delayed. I have been in contact with Amazon, and they say there will supposedly be more in July (15-22). But I have no guarantee I’ll receive one of those once more. They say I can cancel the order and look elsewhere. But as I said, elsewhere it is more expensive since they are resells. (When first going to pre-order, I looked both on Amazon and Ebay, but Amazon was cheaper.) Amazon lowered the price since then (from around 50 something euros to 35). And it would really feck me over to cancel my amazon order just to buy a resell of the product that was supposed to be mine in the first place.

Idk if I should call and demand a priority spot lol bc so far i have only spoken in chat to them. Maybe they pay more attention if you personally call.

I was gonna leave a review with these pics, since that other girl could leave one without receiving the product and i thought i could too bc i saw the button, but it didnt let me in the end lol

~~~ in the meantime i am reading and ordering more books (which i hope will get here 🙄)

My brother: you have a book on the kingdom of jerusalem and crusades (and one of christian saints) on the same table as you have the Qur’an lmao

Me: yis :3

Just interfaith things~

Help lmaoooooo i just realized this note says “to do”

And im like: “to do: Saladin’s brothers, and his uncle and (eldest) sons too” 💀💀💀

(I annotated here the names of the most pertinent ones while reading a book in January, and since I sometimes need to write rapidly and I do it with the only free hand I have, in this case I did it with my right (my non-dominant hand 😭) that why the writing is so bad

Edit: sorry 4 the language but when I get angry I can’t help it
