two-bit for the life of him cannot understand how inflation works, so darry stocks up the fridge with 10 beers and charges him 5 dollars for each one. the week after, a few beers are left over and darry charges him 8 dollars each. by week three, two-bit is ready to curb stomp him.
#darry’s smart for that though because it keeps two bit sober#he acknowledges the physical and mental cost of spending money on beer#the outsiders#the outsiders musical#darry curtis#darrel curtis#two bit mathews

I'm having a bad mood today
Would you draw my blorbo for me please?
#If you have time/energy/willing for that though. No pressure#Im sad and annoyed bc i couldn't get my blood tasted today#They only signed me up for an appointment in a month#And its already been so long since i try to figure out what is wrong with me bc my stomach doesn't work as it supposed to#I'm tired and hurt and all this is very discouraging#Mom tells me to go to the private lab to get my tests done faster but it costs money and we haven't been having much of those#She says that my health is more important and she's right but i just feel so bad and guilty for spending money on myself#When it is possible to get free medical treatment#But URGHHH the free one is sooo looong#And the problem is also that bc im an immigrant here i often don't understand how the system works here and i do mistakes#Like today I came to the hospital thinking i can get my blood tested right away with my doctors prescription in my hand#But no i only got it registered and got an appointment on 17 of December#Fucking urghhh#Im just tired and frustrated that's all#Anyway#Wanna draw buba for me? 👉👈🥺

abusive parents: neglect to give you money for school, food, bus ticket, clothing, basic hygiene products, even when they know you need it consistently
abusive parents when you're forced to come to them and ask them to give you money they're responsible for providing you with:
"You only take and never give back"
"Do you think money grows on trees?"
"When are you going to pay all this back?"
"You're a burden on this family."
"You're lucky I'm giving this to you."
"How many times have I given you this already, you never have enough."
"Do you think I'm made of money?"
"When are you going to get a job"
"I should be charging you rent for living in my house"
"But have you earned this money?"
"I work day and night, just to have to throw it all away on you"
"What if I acted like you do, and just said 'no' whenever you needed money?"
"What did you do with the last one I gave you"
"You'll get it when you do x"
"You could have acted better towards me, instead of acting scared right now"
"You'll see one day what it is, working hard and having to give it all away"
"You should be more grateful, not everyone gets this."
"You think my parents just gave me money when I was a kid? I had to x and y and z for it!"
"Imagine if I didn't give it to you, how would you get by then? You wouldn't survive without me."
#financial abuse#abusive parents#child abuse#psychological abuse#cptsd#traumatic childhood#economic abuse#refusing to provide for children that you obliged yourself to provide for#and instead shaming children for needing survival resources#its like they believe after they have children the children should just die instead of costing money#gross#made me terrified of asking for money every single time#even though i did earn it#and i did work it off#i was still shamed and called a burden#and i did everything in my power to never need money#and still wasn't enough#it was never enough

Trying to work out my Rook de Riva’s family history, and I’ve gotten distracted by Viago and the Antivan royal family. Who could possibly have predicted.
Previous king: King Natale. He was still ruling in 9:28. Natale had a lot of children - at least 11 legitimate enough to be in the direct line of succession, plus who knows how many bastards. Did not appear to cover himself in glory.
Known children of Natale:
Current king: King Fulgeno II. We don’t know many details about him, but he’s Viago’s father, so can be assumed to be at least in his 60s. Has been on the throne since at least 9:41. Does not appear to be covering himself in glory.
Prince Azrin and Princess Ferenna, who joined forces to work Azrin up from 11th in line for the throne to 4th through assassination of their inconvenient siblings/niblings - including possibly arranging/inducing Estefan’s assassination. Zevran was part of the mission to assassinate them both.
Prince Estefan: probably one of the older sons of Natale? Father of Rinna and apparently a lot of other bastards. His assassination for sleeping with married noblewomen was the one that was duplicated for Dante and Viago in 8 Little Talons.
Other descendants:
Rinna: was sent to the Crows, presumably on the same deal as Viago, at around about the same time. She was Zevran’s (and Taliesin’s) lover, and was assassinated by them as part of Crow Politics (ending the Rosso Noche faction that would have tried to put her forward as a legitimate successor to Natale, getting Eoman Arainai the seat of 8th Talon and reminding Zevran of his place in the House - the inciting incident for Zev taking the contract on the HoF. )
Did Viago know Rinna? They’ve got to be a similar age - was she competition? Is the aftermath of the Rosso Noche conspiracy/faction still a hinderance to his dreams of taking the throne? How unpleasant was it for him when his cousin’s ex/murderer came back as The Renegade and how much has it influenced his politics as a reformist Talon?
#Viago that is quite literally how your uncle & his lover died#Viago: yeah whatev. did you see that snake though? that’s a cool snake I’m keeping the snake#how does the economics of the Antivan royal family work?#it’s got to cost a hell of a lot of money to keep your legions of illegitimate children in luxury in a foreign country#how long before Josie asks Teia if there are any crows sufficient deft with a knife to do an involuntary vasectomy?#anyway I have decided:#my Rook de Riva is a cousin rather than a half-sister#her mother was a princess her father was dead shortly thereafter#she was sent to the circle and then sent to Viago after the circles fell#they were both absolutely delighted with this development.#viago de riva#dragon age the veilguard#antivan crows#zevran arainai

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.
if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.
#it was genuinely surprising to see people talk about inaccessibility and cost of comics here#like ik most of you arent dc fans but i was still surprised#literally everyone in the dc fandom knows about this and uses it regularly#i just forgot that people who arent comics fan wouldnt know about the free comic sites lol#new runs are updated too! its not just the old stuff!#so no you dont need a comic store or a shit ton of money to read the comics#dpxdc#if we're talking movies and shows then use fmovies#DEF use an adblocker (and vpn if you have one) for that though#and since this is directed at dp fans id highly suggest watching the bat.man scooby doo crossover!#its amazing and imo is a great example of mixing bat.man with a more comedic child friendly vibe#bat.man is so goofy in that movie i love it aldhg#oh man... thats making me think of dpxdcxsd crossover now...#is the acronym for scooby doo sd? that feels wrong#well anyway if you want to read the comics for free you can lol#remember! the dc fandom has been here for decades! we have all the resources you need!! dont be afraid to look or ask!#and if you dont know where to start reading - just pick your favorite character and find a masterlist made by an obsessed fan#and start there lol#but if anyone wants recs let me know and ill be happy to help :)

there are two wolves inside me. one is super lustful over object head men in suits. the other is aromantic and really against dating for myself. so we're not really sure if i should check out dialtown or not
#though then again i used to rly like dating sims#so i guess it'll be fine#plus apparently it costs money so. definitely gotta watch gameplay instead#dialtown#i guess#welp. now that i tagged the fandom. it's your collective job to convince me tehe#cw suggestive#i guess?? like i mentioned i'm ykw for a sexyman archetype#p.s. i'm not plural i was just referring to me and the metaphorical wolves

GeorgeBertha nation, do we think George just gives Bertha an extremely generous allowance + house budget or would they have some other arrangement?
#the gilded age#bertha x george#I have no idea what would be typical in that period#we know George gave Bertha limitations re: not spending any more money in trying to buy off the Duke#but this was a special occasion#she seems to be more relaxed about everything else#including getting Christina Nilson to sing at their house#which would have cost a great amount a money#although I do remember George making that comment about Bertha buying more paintings#though it didn't seem to be mean spirited#random post because I'm bored in between classes

Ever think you’ll do a physical print of time and time again?
Yes! I'm actively working on it now that I'm on hiatus ^^ I have 2/4 books for season 1 ready to go!
I'm planning to launch a kickstarter early next year for the first four books! (The pirate arc, the summer camp arc, the ghost hunting arc, and the vampire hunting arc)
I'm planning for each book to be $25, and I'll ship them out over the course of a year. (shipping in the us will be about $7 per book, and internationally it'll be around $16 per book!)
Each book is 100-150 pages and 8.3x5.8 inches ^^
I've got some really cute and exciting things planned for it!
Consider this the official announcement and a warning that it'll be pretty pricey! I'll have themed merch bundles offered as well (partially pictured) so it can add up fast! If you want all 4 books, expect to spend about $150 including shipping!
#kickstarter#queer comics#graphic novels#asks#distantwave#I'm so so so so excited about it!!!#there's like#no way I can think of to get the cost down though...#I guess that kind of comes with it being 4 books ;_;#so I'm trying to warn people early so people can save up#IF it's possible#I recognize $150 is like. a lot of money#I wish I could make it less#in a year or so you can buy them all together and then shipping would be like.... half..........#so still like $120 :( sorry

... why he sit like this
#in this position his face is extremely 'cartoon cat' shaped.. like the perfectly round cheeks and little#rounded bump of a snout.. big round eyes. etc. stretched over the arm of a chair like a weirdo#cats#It's still Hot Evil Summer time and I have so much to do so am just aimlessly hopping between various projects but not actually#getting anything done. as usual. Also so so so so tired. I almost fell asleep in the middle of the floor like 3 times today lol#Trying to finish some costume photos and also another poll adventure thing. plus I do really want to do a sculpture sometime#I haven't finished one in a while. Hopefully my tiredness is nothing bad.#Maybe I'm anemic again so that's making me tired. Or maybe it's just a Listless phase. not that I'm ever really THAT productive considering#all of the health problems and etc. always holding me back. but still. I'm not usually 'sleep or just stare at a wall literally all day' ty#e unproductive.. at least not for multiple days in a row so. hmm... Sometimes especially in the summer though I will have periods of time#that are listless like that. I am under low level phyiscal stress for months at a time due to summer heat so I guess it makes sense#that would eventually take a toll. I just have SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO!!!!! AAUUGhhh#I also came up with a new idea for a game that is so so cool and I wish I could make it but I have to finish the other one first lol#which I will NEVER do. if I spend all day just sleepy unfocused barely able to do anything#I also really need to sell some clothes and sculptures because I'll probably have to buy a new computer soon so I need money. (plus still#recovering the costs of having to euthanize my other cat.. wehh) There's nothing clearly wrong with it right now but it's getting gradually#slower and there's more weird glitches happening randomly and idk.. just weird things that make me think 'hmm... bad.. possibly.'#ANYWAY... I just have so much to do that I both REALLY want or need to do - so it's perpetually frustrating that I just can't for whatever#reason like. Time is always mving forward. every day I waste is a wasted day. The year is already almost half over. I havent finished#any of the projects I wanted to .. and there's only more and more things to do each day. It's overwhelming and stinky#and thats not even considering having to do all of my tasks also with the background noise of economic inequality. everything increasingly#going into an even scarier political direction. active climate change crisis. pandemic that still exists and is insane to act otherwise. et#etc. HOW am I supposed to solo make two whole games . write 3 book series. finish sculptures. do costumes. make outfits. game videos. make#stable network of social connections. do my little side crafts. take care of myself and cats. pay rent. manage health issues. keep a routin#.try to make some sort of money. go to doctors appointments. handle regular maintenance like cleaning and cooking and self care#and buying new plates when old ones break or etc. make sure to do other things like backup my computer data regularly. do shopping lists.#take care of plants. pursue like 6 different academic interests. do the other side side projects I have for fun (like music or carving avoc#ado pits). eat in a healthy way thats okay for my Special Health Issue diet. exercise so i don't die early. etc. etc. etc. AND all while it#82F in my apartment all the time and I have tiny income and also need to move to another country/climate somehow??? lol......#ANYWAY.. ..very frustrated today over my chronic Tired Sleepy.. time for Cat Photos - which cure all of life's ailments lol

#just got around to reading taylor swift’s profile for Time and…..#and i’m saying this as someone who went to her show#who spent a lot of money to see her with my sister#and who genuinely likes her and her music#the profile was fucking bad lmfao#reading through it i kept wincing at how cringe-girl boss-capitalism it all was#and then the entire part where the journalist refuses to challenge taylor’s narrative about being canceled in 2016#even though she FELT canceled her numbers and success did not show it at all with reputation#like. a journalist just. spoke about it in their own article but not TO her#when it’s so important for anyone but especially journalists to challenge people’s narratives especially inner narratives that might warp#the reality of the situation#it was just a puff piece obviously but god was it…. not good imo dkdkkd#also her talking about mastermind and how it connected to the end of phantom thread made me wanna 💀#like girlie go back to your eras tour enough interviews for now#it did its job. but at what cost to my brain to read for both @ taylor and @ the journalist

this year has been So Much that i haven't even been able to settle my brain down long enough to fully post about why it has been So Much, so i'm proud of myself for just making it through and doing my best (even if i'm years behind on projects and movie reviews with no air in sight).
but at the same time, making it through the year also means i now have more credit card debt than a year's worth of my disability benefits? so that's...less good.
#i wish i were still the scrappy kid who could push through gig work to survive#cuz paying debt down more quickly (instead of having interest cancel out my payments)#isn't possible with the costs and budget i currently have#but i don't think i have that in me anymore when i can't even blog reliably#...turns out what i'm capable of when i insist on surviving just about anything#and what i'm capable of when i'm relatively safe and have gone back to owning stuff#are two very different things. especially when cat duties never let up and start at 4 am each day.#i am glad to be heading into 2025 though#'making it through' is always a valid accomplishment#tbd probably#money stuff#life stuff#randomness

My dear friends 🫂🫂
When we resorted to asking for urgent help, we resorted to it because of the difficulty of the life we live, whether psychological, physical or material 💔
We are a Palestinian family of seven people. We were living a decent and stable life and we had our dreams. Suddenly our situation changed due to the devastating war that caused us to lose everything we owned and negatively affected my children psychologically, educationally and otherwise 😭😭
Therefore, we are in dire need of help 💔
Today, after nearly 330 days of war and five months since the start of the fundraising campaign, we have reached 22k€ thanks to your support, participation and donations. We hope that you will continue to support and participate until we reach 65% of the goal, as there is less than 750€ left to reach it 🙏
Thank you very much
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤🤍💚🖤
This campaign has been vetted and they are over 3/4’s of the way to reaching their goal! I will share it here.
#I have seen so many fundraisers for Palestinian families everywhere#I wish that I had more money#I hate Netanyahu#and Ibrahim Al Organi for making the cost to flee a small fortune just to line his own pockets#still even though it feels like a drop in the bucket I can make a difference to someone maybe by giving them 10 dollars I guess#gaza genocide#Palestine#free Palestine#palestine fundraiser

Would I be fully insane to enter some of my photography into a competition on a whim after not touching it for like eight years? yeah probably. might do it anyway.
#All my stuff is old but there’s no time requirement for any of the comps#I used to be really passionate about photography and did a ton of nature photography#Got older. Got more tired. Stuff is expensive. Haven’t really touched a camera since.#Didn’t really learn more because the community online was a lot of “and you will be needing a camera that costs 4 grand”#And I uh. Did not have that.#My best photos by far are from my iPhone 8 lol#Digital cameras are expensive and I was too young for my own money#I kind of miss it though#My work is certainly not exceptional but I’m good at perspectives and its generally interesting#Idk. Perhaps.
