#still in debt

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.
But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.
#simon says#i love learning so much and I hate the USA's college debt system#once they make that shit free I will be unstoppable#this topic sprung up because I had the idea that im very academic and annoyingly analytical that I might as well get a degree in it#because without a degree you just seem like an autistic asshole#but with a degree? then you look like a CREDIBLE autistic asshole#don't worry I will still learn but I still want that funky piece of paper to tell everyone I learnt it#also there's some things that are VERY difficult to learn#like I would love to persue this topic further but unfortunately I would need help with that#also before you say 'try taking [blank] classes instead! it's less expensive than a degree!' im broke#my only learning resource is the library sorry about that#also this is not the post to give me unwarranted financial advice#finances are one of the topics I DO NOT care about and I WILL NOT listen to a word you say

on episode 5 of Squid Game 2 and watching Gi-hun come to the realisation of the microcosm he's fighting in real time - the pitfalls and propaganda of capitalism, the "you can build your dream if you just work harder", the desperation to succeed overcoming their desire for everyone to survive. Everyone recognises the faults, the danger, the gamble of what they're participating in - the lotto over the bread - they know some will not fare as well as others. What's more they know in order for them to win, they know more people have to die. But they still willingly participate, not because they're evil, or blind, or lack empathy - but because they think they have no other choice. They allow themselves to become complicit and justify it by saying it's for their own survival.
#squid game#squid game 2#also the son with the gambling debt hitting yes even after he promised his mum#I know it was because of the extra debt he hadn't told her about#but you could see in his movements#the shaking the sweating the shame on his face#that was perfect representation for an addict saying 'just one more time'#fUCK BRO this show has STILL GOT IT#GODDAMN#squid game spoilers#not really but to be safe

the two biggest pieces of advice that i would express to anyone thinking about grad school are
1) do not pay for grad school. i am dead serious on this one. this was the number one thing every single professor i had in undergrad expressed to me. going to a grad school that doesn’t offer tuition remission or teaching or any type of funding so you can complete the work you need to do is not worth going into debt for don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it because—
2) besides the obvious (the degree) grad school offer you two things (ideally they offer both); training or access. by training i mean rigorous high level hands on practice honing your skills in your chosen field; by access i mean connection to people/institutions/funding to help support whatever work or research you’re doing. (i think that at least in the arts broadly speaking, it is easier to find training than it is to gain access.) i think it’s extremely important to weigh out what you’re getting out of a specific program and decide not only what is more important to you but also what opportunities a school is offering you
#this is just my experience as someone who has very recently gone through it and now teaches at a very prestigious college and still has#student loan debt from undergrad (i went to a funded phd program)#part of the reason i picked the university i did for grad school was because i wanted access#i already knew i knew how to write (and had experience teaching); i wanted to work at the major regional theatres in town and i wanted a#slightly easier time getting my foot in the door. and it paid off. a lot#if i had gone to a different program my career might look very different

#inanimate insanity#art#digital art#fanart#ii yinyang#ii mephone4#ii paintbrush#ii cherries#ONE OF MY MAIN PROBLEMS WITH THE SERIES(other than the ableism lol) WAS HOW THE CHARACTERS NEVER AKNOWLAGED THIER LIVES OUTSIDE THE SHOW#Seriously going feral over the twist it was actually worth the wait I think#now for the horrors of trying to rewatch earlier episodes will I be able to do it without killing myself from cringe? find out soon#also I have a hard time rewatching things in general my brain just struggles to sit still for that long with things ive already experienced#Also I made the Cherries transfem bc I forgot to doublecheck their gender before drawing them and I like the design too much to change it#They need the prize money to pay the debt from their double transition

I really need your support :,)
I know I'm a pain in the ass about this. But, please, if you can, please consider commissioning me. I have pay what you can/want commissions open too. If you need I can split the payment in up to 4 installments (or more if you need it) too. I also offer simple 2D animations. If you need a discount, we can talk about it, too. I'm open to draw pretty much anything. So, please, if you like me and/or my art, please consider commissioning me :')
I hate practically begging people to commission me, but I'm so close to paying off all of my debts, but even so the bills are super expensive and I'm scared of not being able to pay them all off this month. Commissions is all I can do (aside from sending free prints of your choice if you commission me and pay the full amount before the month ends if you fill out this form).
If you just want to support me, I accept ko-fi donations as well.
This is so important to me, guys 😭 I'm super thankful to all of you who always reblog my commission info!! I'll forever be thankful if you can commission me during this tough time I'm going through as well, and if there's anything other than art that I can do for you, talk to me and I'll do my best to make it happen if possible!
#i feel pathetic ngl#i'm SO CLOSE to paying it all off but jesus#why must living be so expensive#i know i'm still paying off the debts i made when I was out of it because of my poor mental health#but still

i keep forgetting to show you guys my “second” dol “pc” progress concept sketches that i post on twitter
#. // ♡ 🌱 art#dol#degrees of lewdity#dol pc#noel the vendor#i said ‘lets make a pc skinner flatter almost sexually repulsed and uncharismatic to contrast vani’#and unlike vani who is like ‘it eez what it eez’ when it comes to the debt stuff noel was like ‘hey i have a great idea!’ goes ‘missing’#noel’s thing is a lot more complicated than that but#i’ll save that for the finished & polished ref#since im still tossing them around in my head#i’m definitely leaning towards maybe a mix of jirai kei & lolita fashion

I feel like Zoro would have way too much fun, if he got turned into a woman 😂 Like come on!
He wants booze?
Zoro: “Sanji! Can I get some booze?”
Sanji: “No!”
Zoro: “Look over here” *lifts shirt and shows his boobs*
Sanji: *handing over booze* “Please…just…cover up…!”
He wants more food?
Zoro: “Cook! Give me more!”
Sanji: “You just ate a whole plate of…”
Zoro: *shows cleavage*
Sanji: “For the love of…fuck…here” *shoves a whole plate of food in his face*
He wants a snack?
Zoro: “Cook! Snacks!?”
Sanji: “Shut it, Marimo! I’m not falling for that again!”
Zoro: *bats his eye* “Pleeeeeease! Cook-san!”
Sanji: “Shit…” *gives him all the snacks he wants*
The snacks are too sweet?
Zoro: “Can you make some salty snacks? Or better with wine filling?”
Sanji: “I’m gonna fill you with wine!”
Zoro: “Promise?” *shy smile with red cheeks*
Sanji: “You…what…? Stop that!” *stands an hour in the kitchen to make some wine-filled dark chocolate pralines*
Zoro: *casually training on deck - shirtless like always*
Sanji: *walks by, realizes it, dies of bloodloss*
Sanji: *standing at the railing, watching the sea*
Zoro: Can I join? *stands beside him*
Sanji: What do you want this time? * purposefully not looking over*
Zoro: *standing on his tiptoes and pressing a kiss to Sanji’s cheek - breast pressing to his arm* “Sorry for annoying you, Curly.”
Sanji: “It's…it’s…it’s fine! Marimo…Just fine…”
😂😂
#one piece#roronoa zoro#black leg sanji#zosan#one piece sanji#zoro would take full advantage of being a woman!#no one can convince me otherwise#He’s going to be the shyest woman ever just to get what he wants!#that’s how he gets free booze whenever he wants!#oh he’s so going to let Sanji pay his debt#Sanji and Zoro still spare but Sanji isn’t going full force - partly because he doesn’t fight women but more so#Because Zoro always gets him in a chokehold pressing Sanji’s head against his breasts and Sanji’s in heaven!

Random HC for the seasons when giving a life/hearts didn’t require them killing you:
When Pearl gave lives in LL she would do it by cutting her hand open and shaking the others person’s. Literally giving life force to the other person. (It would not be the last time her blood stained Scott’s hands.) This wasn’t a strictly necessary way to give lives over, others did it through normal handshakes or hugs, or something less violent, but she liked the ritual of it. Never forget that even in Last Life, Pearl has always been pretty reckless.
When Pearl gifted hearts in SL, it was much less dramatic. After all, you didn’t lose anything by gifting hearts. She instead did it by either blowing a kiss or kissing someone’s forehead if they were close enough (she only did this to Bdubs in the back half of the season, when she gifted her heart to him for four sessions in a row. Etho, Gem, and Joel just got blown a kiss). This was the most common way to give over a heart in that season. Even the Heart Foundation would literally just blow a kiss in the general direction of the player they chose.
#I’m just having Pearl giving people hearts and lives thoughts because of her giving impulse the totem#and all the talk about how Scott is still in debt to her for the two lives she gave him in Last Life#you still have a one life debt dude#pearlescentmoon#last life smp#secret life SMP

TRAs having no empathy yet again
Teenagers who are pushed towards transitioning aren’t “pushovers” they’re mentally and emotionally vulnerable young people who shouldn’t be allowed to make life-changing medical decisions. Acknowledging this fact isn’t stopping adults from transitioning. It just aims to stops other vulnerable teenagers from doing the same.
#love how they quote peer pressured because deep down even though know they’re speaking with an incorrect euphemism#being told you’re at risk of suicide if you don’t transition is not peer pressure ffs#they hate their own community so so much#gender critical#also I’ve known very mentally ill people in the early 20s who have also transitioned#out of acknowledged internalised homophobia#one of them especially is having several mental breakdowns per year and is still allowed to transition#going into a shitload debt as he does so#they’re always willing to acknowledge how the medical industry preys upon vulnerable people except when it comes to comes to gender ID#then the medical industry can do no wrong

been thinking about the orym and zeru conversation from 105 and sitting in a puddle of angsty thoughts about the uncertain future because orym saying "your son saved my life a day ago" and zeru saying "maybe you'll get the chance to return the favor" and orym saying "your son has already carved a very impressive verse in the pages of history and if my friends and i have anything to do with it he'll pen many more" and thinking ALLLLL the way back to the beginning of the campaign when dorian said "no debts between us" and how that could be taken one of two ways and remain true
something something fathers and sons and the inevitable dance of fate and pride and loss something something
#this is the fanfic author in me running wild but orym saving dorian via taking a hit for him? paying with his life to sustain dorian's?#and then smiling at him with blood in his teeth because 'we're even - no debts between us'#and maybe magic will be fine and they can revive orym but it's still a death it still counts against coming back again#and who knows maybe the matron will be gone and who knows if life and death will still bend to the whims of magic when fate has no patron#anyway these are what we call narrative red flags but this show isn't scripted sO WHO KNOWS#cr#critical role#dorym#c3e105#they make me insane in case you couldn't tell already from the everything about me

so maybe. just like maybe. try to make it so that you don't get exposed to covid, get two vaccines, start a new medication, have a busy time at work, and then get no sleep because of a car alarm going off twice, all in the same 48hr period.
would not recommend
#personal#I'm still recovering tbh#it's been a rough week#I've got a lot to do today and it sucks but I'm gonna do my best#I can see my sleep debt ticking up as I stare into the void of insomnia#surely this will not come back to haunt me#oh god I didn't even mention the allergies#I'm allergic to the outdoors right now and spending a decent amount of time in it#this is fiiine
