Reading about currency controls in the old days is crazy... like what do you MEAN you need the Bank of England's permission to invest £500,000 in Canadian real estate. Don't they have better things to do.

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems
#sketchbook#scrapbook#Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at#but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open#image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best#medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a#limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont#know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and#excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines#and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch#pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color#or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being#'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my#outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one#more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page#before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then#was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down#stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and#having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's#a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the#scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol#Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube#face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to#work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time#be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm#(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a#pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

THE SKYNANI TIKTOK LIVE 😭 imina nation we are so loved and well-fed 🥹🥹
nani demanding to see sky's red thread 20 seconds in, sky teasing nani, nani teasing sky, them baiting all of us, sky wanting to know if nani made any new friends at the fashion shows, sky commenting on nani's neck mole, nani showing off his red thread so proudly, sky making nani promise that he won't forget him when he becomes a global brand ambassador, nani saying that he can't forget sky because he's always beside him, them being so cute and giggly through the whole thing, them reassuring us that they're still together and everything's normal 😭😭
#like the red thread shenanigans all of today was so unserious i love sky stirring shit up for fun 😂😂#and nani already on it ready to do damage control LMAOO#also i love how they make it clear that they really do want to work together 🥹🥹#anyway this 10 min live felt a million years long it was SO MUCH FUN AHHH#they really went skynani drought?? not on our watch#skynani#sky wongravee#nani hirunkit#lam.text

Defending a for-profit healthcare model to protect widespread access to basic care is the clown nose I never thought I'd wear but here we are. Some punks must honk during the workday.
#Creepy chatter#Punk as in pride-less I don't care dude lol#I will meatshield in front of the stupidest money centered talking points if the end goal is easier access to health care#Told my partner I've hit the point where I just don't care about the stupid shit happening at the top of the ladder#Bc bureaucratic processes keep the dumbest shit from trickling down in the first place#But I would happily clap and balance a treat on Trump's nose every day he did not fuck up health care#Playing to ego in gov shit is so much easier than arguing against capital#Oh look at you yes you did great today look at that 1 million more people on insurance this year compared to last :)#RFK Jr and Dr Oz running HHS and CMS is so fucking stupid like okay money pigs I see you will be easy to shut the fuck up w $$$#Don't break shit for 10 months and idc how much hollow applause it takes to keep you making the decisions we need you to lol#Cookie on the nose and shut the fuck up

so my partner and i finished The Edge of Sleep today (not that hard, it’s just 6 25min eps) and it was so good!! im a lil confused as to why im not seeing anything abt it
#the edge of sleep#i Guess markiplier is more of a utube person rather than a tumblr person so it wouldn’t be as popular over here#but mark’s trailer has only had abt a million views and it’s been out for a couple days when he was like 37mil subscribers#idk I feels like it’s being suppressed??#i didn’t even know abt it until today#its on prime pls watch it#if it gets to the top 10 in a week then mark will be able to do more w Iron Lung

🌟Canons shoot ships but not this one
My fics that could fit into the canon timeline of both tg and tgm!
The big ol’ masterlist :)
🌟Ten Past Twelve (763 words)
Rated Teen, hurt/comfort, angst
It's seven minutes past twelve when Iceman gets a glass of water. It's ten past twelve when he checks on Maverick.
🌟Midnight Jetty (1148 words)
Rated Gen, post-canon, grief/mourning
It was on nights like these that Maverick missed them most.
🌟The Lower Bunk (1364 words)
Rated Gen, emotional hurt/comfort, fluff, first kiss
It’s the night of the last mission. They were wingmen, the two of them, but Ice can’t get to sleep alone on his top bunk.
🌟Nowhere Else To Go (1252 words)
Rated Teen, fluff, hurt/comfort, seasickness
A storm out at sea is a bad remedy for a nightmare about drowing with your RIO, even if it did happen 10 months ago. But at least there’s space in the bed where he goes.
🌟The Fourteen (828 words)
Rated Teen, grief/mourning, hurt/comfort
"You say to me it isn't anyone's fault... 'anyone' includes you," Where Maverick finds Ice sitting on his jet enraptured in his thoughts of Goose.
🌟It's The Little Things (1491 words)
Rated Gen, angst, fireworks, fourth of july stuff, loneliness
It's the third of July, 1987. Tomorrow is the fourth, and it's Maverick's first without Goose, and he feels sad and lonely because it just doesn't feel the same. He thinks he's done a great job masking his feelings and pretending he's a-okay, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) Iceman can see straight through his mask.
🌟My Little Dove (1023 words)
Rated Teen, angst! pain! nothing but hurt!!!
But it’s like a clock. Every breath is a second closer. It’ll tick down to morning. The sun will rise. Tom will have seen his last sunset. Or, Maverick's goodbye to Iceman.
🌟A Year To Think (1846 words)
Rated Teen, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, nightmares
29th July, 1987. Goose has been dead a year. It doesn't feel like that. Maverick doesn't know if he's okay or loved, but Ice is sure to show him just that.
🌟It's Okay Not To Be Okay (1112 words)
Rated Teen, survivors guilt, grief/mourning, hurt/comfort
Maverick didn’t blame Ice for what happened on Hop 31. He never would, no matter how much he overthought the whole thing. Charlie blamed Ice. She said that she did and made it obvious. Ice just listened.
🌟Almost Gone (2099 words)
Rated Gen, hurt/comfort, that's literally it.
Ice leaves the locker room, bitterly regretting what he's said. That was it. That was the last time he'll ever see Maverick again and he messed it up. Then Maverick leaves the locker room.
🌟Atelophobia (1601 words)
Rated Teen, physical hurt/comfort, panic attacks, Ice needs all the hugs ever
“They were abused children” Maverick didn’t think much of Goose’s quip he made back when he’d first been introduced to his now-partner, assuming it was a joke, not until he hears a smash from the kitchen and goes to investigate.
🌟Every End Is A Beginning (3175 words)
Rated gen, nightmares, panic attacks and hurt/comfort
The thing about Iceman, as Maverick had discovered, was that he didn't have 'feelings'. He didn't have issues like nightmares, and he kept his anxiety under wraps so tight Maverick would have thought he needed a hacksaw to get through to him. That's until he witnesses him lurch up into a sitting position in the dead of night. / Or, Ice has a nightmare and Maverick helps him through it

My parents Sole purpose is to keep repeatedly breaking my concentration by whatever means they got and make me hate myself
#why is everything so loud suddenly#why do they need 50 million things today#and why did they decide the best way to tell me about said 50 million things is to#1- call me out of my room 2- tell me about 1 thing only 3- watch me finish it 3-#insit they don't need anything else 4-watch me go back to my room 5- wait 10 mins and call me out again#OMFG IM NOT YOUR WAITRESS YOU DONT EVEN PAY ME

As for my post this morning. If anyone was worried. Me personally I'm okay (I guess) but my dad's in the hospital and things r still very up in the air. So.
#speculation nation#bracing myself for the possibility of Major Grief.....2!!!!#well actualy more like 3 or 4 or 5 (lol lol lol)#but likely the worst one bc it's. my dad. that's my dad.#i left work early to visit him at the hospital. hes stable rn at least (he wasnt this morning)#he wasnt conscious though. and i really really hope he ends up okay#but. i still saw my dad unconscious in a hospital bed hooked up to like a million tubes and#thats my dad. Thats my Dad.#im really trying to not do my processing until after i know for sure how things are gonna go#dont wanna start grieving until after he's officially gone#so im trying not to think about it. but it's still... yeah. unpleasant.#and theres a part of me thats so so resentful. if i have to have a dead parent why would it be the Good one?#take my fucking mom instead. hell my life would even be BETTER without her. horrible as that is to say.#but it's my dad. he's not perfect. he has his flaws. but he's still tried in a way she never ever did.#seeing him like that makes me feel so... small. makes me remember being picked up by him.#makes me remember riding on the back of his harley as a tiny little 10 year old with a helmet that was giant on me#we'll hope for the best. we'll hope for a recovery. even if not a full recovery. i just want to have my dad.#sorry. this is probably too real for my tumblr dot com. it's just been... a lot today.#negative/#death/#hospitals ment/#idfk. sorry

I'm supposed to analyze a speech about the dangers of socialism but every single point they make about why socialism spreads in the US slaps actually
#he's like ''it spreads because children are working in the mines everyone's doing manufacturing line work for pennies#men can't afford to live so everyone's in debt no one has the ability to buy a house#meanwhile the newspapers are publishing that carenegie and vanderbilt are making 10 million a year over last years profits''#and i have to poke holes in his argument and talk about conspiracy theories but sorry i agree with the socialist conspiracy!#every point you made about why the united states is in danger of falling to socialism is still prescient today!#and i can't just write ''look i agree with this one''#oscar talks to himself#school blogging

#i took an exam at 8.30 to 10. when the fuck home and got tattooed from 1 to like 5#it was only like 2hrs of tattooing. mostly it was me having her redraw the lines a million times#the color is dark blue and i really like it. wasnt super painful bc i think i have pretty high pain tolerance#i could feel it most under my shoulder blade and a lil on the soft part of my inner elbow#glad i did it today bc i was feeling fucked up abt thr exam. bc the frustrating thing is that i think i could verbally explain the concepts#to u better than i articulated them in writing. idk grades dont really matter for me at this point but i still feel fucked up abt it#anyway. apparently markers stick really well to my skin bc i never go out in the sun lol#she had to scrub so hard and it would not come off with rubbing alcohol#unrelated
