when someone tells me that capitalism has always existed, instead of assuming that they are deeply ignorant about economic systems, I choose to believe that they simply think that the company Fred Flintstone worked for was real & they are about to start telling me about the Rock Market

cursed modern human garashir au where ds9 is an old ruined resort that was built by some evil rich motherfuckers years ago and was recently seized back by the native people whose land and economy it had destroyed. it's since been converted into an affordable apartment complex sort of situation (just... with a pool, bar, restaraunts, spa and tennis court built into it lol) and is run by sisko and kira. since it is rundown, odo gets hired back on to keep kids from further vandalizing it and o'brien's team gets hired on from the nonprofit organization sisko works for to fix the place up best he can. dukat is the old overseer of the property who drops by sometimes to remind them he and his hospitality business still exist, and my, what a fine job they’ve done renovating the place! it’s actually nice again. sure would be a shame if someone bought the property out from under them (lmao jk kardasi hospitality and starfleet are friends! no hard feelings. they should collaborate on some future projects, actually).

garak's a sad bitch who just lost his amazing morally dubious nepotism career at obsidian corp. (which absorbed kardasi hospitality) and moved into the complex just for the comfortingly familiar architecture. even tho he's not on the payroll for his (secret) dad's evil exploitative company anymore he's still vital to its continued efficiency and is an absolute sucker who still does unpaid shady work for them from time to time. so no one in the complex likes him, but also he's a very pleasant and fastidious queer man who pays his rent on time and has completely taken over the laundry room, to the benefit of everyone, because all the machines actually work now, it's always tidy, and there's a variety of forever-stocked detergents and soaps available, plus an iron?? there was not an iron before garak moved in. which is how it eventually becomes public knowledge that garak has an online tailoring and fashion design business, and he's actually pretty good at restoring clothes that get fucked by the washing machine or eaten by rats, soooo. yeah. they let him stick around.

meanwhile julian's a hot doctor who works at the local hospital and is absolutely buried in student debt that he refuses to let his moderately-wealthy family help him with because they're awful people who had him on illegal drugs without his knowledge since he was a little kid. they were afraid he had something wrong with him, apparently. he was too far behind in his class or w/e. they couldn't handle having a kid with special needs, so they pumped him full of dangerous experimental stimulants. only reason he found out is because he snuck off somewhere to start transitioning and had some tests done that revealed all the crazy shit in his system. he's insanely lucky he didn't end up in the hospital with seizures or fall into a coma or worse. not to mention his parents still dead-name him left and right over a decade later. it's a whole mess and a huge secret, because he technically has a history with illegal drug abuse, and it's a partially ongoing history because going cold turkey off drugs he's been on since he was six is Not A Good Idea, so??? fuck his life, actually. he lives in the apartment just down the hall from garak's. 

garak hates the country his dad's company expanded into and would like nothing better than to move back home, but it's not really logistically possible. especially since everyone there hates him cuz his (secret) dad's company is a mega-corporation that's completely taken over everything p much and is a complete monopoly nightmare, and he did... kinda... work there for decades. no one would hire him if he went back. it would be an extreme conflict of interest, since everyone wants to stay on tain's good side, including garak. but starfleet is interested in him, so he does some begrudging contract work for them sometimes, but he really has no desire to join them. he just wants to resume his old career and reclaim his assets.

julian's hospital is owned by starfleet, tho. his scholarship into medical school was also from starfleet, in fact--they're the only reason he was able to (sort of) afford becoming a doctor at all. so he's a big fan, even tho they are pretty hardcore anti-drugs in a way that's made him have to forge medical records and risk serious legal charges and prison time. julian comes across as a squeaky clean medical professional and an adorable idiot, but he's intimately familiar with back-alley dealings. which is kind of how he ends up helping garak with his drug addiction, and keeps said addiction off the record.

but basically, how it begins is julian likes to support the local restaurants in the complex and garak finds him there and thinks he's gorgeous, and it proceeds as expected. they fuck nasty and become codependent. ten years later, julian lives in a modest house with garak in his home country and garak irons all his old university hoodies.

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

really live for the fucking difference in conversations i have with my friends vs my dad because my friends all are collectively being insane over media and then theres my dad and i where i start a conversation like "i really have been loving oatmeal recently, its really good"

How Hudson and Rex managed to air this particular episode on a week where everyone is going googoo gaga about the "new hot AI", I have no idea. Some kind of witchcraft.

oh to add on to that post about merch being resold at an unusually higher price, idk if this fits a bill but i still have this memory of seeing a suspicious dude snatching up a bunch of pokemon tcg booster packs off the rack a kmart that i go to. I automatically assumed he was a scalper because for many he stole and snuck in his clothes. so yeah, scalpers are a type of thief. mayhaps it is best to report any seller who sells merch at a stupidly high price.

i've been hearing about this kinda thing yeah!! like god idc if you wanna buy a ton of boosters tbh IF you're doing it bc you genuinely want to collect all the cards. thats what they're there for. its so irritating to watch even as someone who isnt actively collecting tcg things. please for the love of god stop buying prismatic evolutions etbs for like $250 when they're supposed to be $70 are you nuts

I love telling people I'm a high school drop out. It is rare for people my age, when EVERYONE was expected to do ANYTHING to go to college. Now I know a bunch of people not even working in their field. I know a woman who got a degree in marine biology, but was making more money from unemployment than any other job she could find. I ran an accounting department for over ten years. As a high school drop out. When I was 16 I would sneak into college art courses, and it turned out I LOVED the art history class I was going to. I wish I could take classes for my enjoyment. This system is a fuckin farce. It needs to be destroyed.

Happy B-Day!! Drew these 4 you #frienship Hope you're having fun on the big 18!!

I know you wanna help rally people to fight against climate change but don't spread misinformation to do it. We're not trying to prevent a sixth mass extinction event, it's been ongoing for years. We're trying to help mitigate the damage

If I could figure out how to create a poll I’d create one asking folks what they thought about Louis’s money situation on the show. 

I personally think he’s pretty well off on that front. But in one of my previous posts, someone in the replies raised the notion that part of the reason why Louis didn’t leave Lestat post ep 5 could be for financial reasons. So I was curious as to what other people think.

wax paper and tape makes a very cool comic cover its almost translucent and crinkles joyfully. it has fun layering possibilites with tape. every crinkle is unique. i played with transparency quite a bit while making the comic inside so it feels nice that the cover is like it as well

I start school soon ^_^
