I'm trying to post more often! Both here, and stuff in progress on Patreon, bc I realized I am constantly working on something anyway and there's lots of stuff just hiding in sketchbooks forever otherwise SO!! I have no plans to paywall any finished stuff, but if you're interested in a never-ending stream of whatever the hell I'm doodling that day, it shall now be chucked into my $2 tier, over here Here's a little sliver of an Umami piece I'm picking at, having a normal one

Me lying awake at 3am trying to sleep:

My brain: What type of tax returns was Aziraphale doing too perfectly? Regular self assessment? Is A. Z. Fell & Co a limited entity? It doesn't have a limited in the name but it could just be the trading name... I'm not sure it would be tax efficient to run a book shop of that size as a sole trader? I guess it depends how many books he actually sells? When did limited entities even become a thing? Victorian times? Maybe all the men from the gentlemen's club were making companies and it just seemed like the Thing To Do. Would he even care about tax efficiency? Maybe this question is irrelevant; he'd have to do a regular SA anyway for the rental income, plus any dividends received from the company... But wait, if his cover story is that it's generational wealth he'd be hit with a hefty inheritance tax bill every 80 or so years? That's a lot of fake paperwork to keep on top of— Who am I kidding, he loves a form...

Reminder that anybody is able to paint any fictional character in a negative light if they want to.

If a fanfic author has suffered abuse, sees something that reminds them of that, and decides to write about a character of their choice overcoming it, that’s up to them. If you have a staunch belief of “[X character] would never say/do that!”, then you can just ignore it. The “don’t like, don’t read” policy always applies.

This especially applies to parents. For example: Quirin from TTS. I love reading some wholesome apple dad fics if I’m in the mood for them, and I also love exploring why Varian would believe that his dad doesn’t have pride in his capabilities and that he “never knew [Varian] at all.”

You can headcanon all of Quirin’s shortcomings as miscommunication, or well-intentioned, or from emotional immaturity, or out of trauma from his past, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Just like how fanfic authors can delve into the negative ways he’s impacted his son, and interpret them how they see fit. Nobody is wrong or right, because these are fictional characters, and every single viewer will experience the show a little differently. That’s okay! That’s a good thing!

(Not to mention the fact that so many things with Quirin never got properly resolved— the letter, what happened to Ulla as far as TTS’ explanation, his relationship with the Brotherhood now, etc. It is very valid for the lazy writing to sour some people’s views on the character.)

FOR TUMBLR READING COMPREHENSION:

-Am I definitively saying Quirin is a bad father? No. I am saying that everyone’s interpretations are valid. He can be your favorite parent/character in the show or your least favorite parent/character, or somewhere in the middle, and that’s completely fine. No one is wrong or right about him, and even if we got more screen time with him, he would still be up for interpretation, because he is fictional.

-Am I saying his actions are excusable if they’re out of trauma? No.

-Am I saying his actions are impossible for him to make up for? Not at all. Plenty of people have written about him and Varian growing past their conflicts (since, again, we didn’t get much of that in the show.)

tearing up a bit thinking about how my money all the dental work I need is going to cost 😭 god i wish i had insurance

It’s actually SO crazy how like. The literal day I lost my job, and the entire week after, I set about towards working on my dream. And it was instantly a lot more successful than I thought it would be. Like obviously not enough to call it, then and there. Not enough to say, “we did it! We made this work, and now we’re good to go!” But still, more people showed up to my streams, my vods got more views than I was expecting, and. All in all, it was looking really great!! Like if I kept putting in that kind of effort, I actually COULD have made it work long-term, and the dream could have been real. And then for whatever reason I gave up, and stopped streaming and stopped working on my model and stopped feeling like I could do it or do anything, crushed under the pressure of making it all work out, and the fear that it wouldn’t. I turned my fate into a self fulfilling prophecy. And now it’s too late to give it another go. Now we’re out of time, out of money. And I only have myself to blame.

A kind of funny trend I've noticed is that many fanfic writers who write for fandoms that take place in Japan often aren't aware of the fact that Japan has universal health care. I've seen quite a few fics set in Japan with whump/hurt comfort plots that mention large medical bills as if it's taking place in America lol.

people who write jason todd (especially robin jason) as inarticulate or dumb or reticent to learning or overly bullish are literally never seeing heaven and that's a fucking fact

every fanfic that has characters get married 'for tax benefits' should be legally required to explain what those benefits are and how it works. otherwise its just lazy writing, it only takes a couple of lines

It's about stability and security. "Money doesn't buy happiness" is a moral (dare I say moralistic) truism about how happiness, as an idea or state, cannot be bought at a store. Retail therapy can't cure depression. Rich people's lives aren't completely free of worry.

But there is a lot to be said for the stability of being able to have a surplus: being able to save up for or indulge in little treats or pleasures, being able to afford a luxury purchase now and then, having disposable income for a therapist or medical treatment, or to own, or repair, or upgrade one's living arrangements.

I can speak as someone who made the shift from renting sketchy apartments and shoddy houses with absentee landlords to owning my own home that the transition to a better sense of well-being is remarkable. I'm no longer dealing with drug-addled house-mates or violent men beating their dog down the hall. When shit breaks, I can just go and repair it myself instead of complaining to the property and the custodian, only to wait months for the custodian to receive the funding and for the custodian to then wearily lament how cheap the material he was told to buy is, anyhow.

I am safer, more secure, and less afraid because I have distance between my neighbours, the good ones can exercise their eccentricities without directly impacting me (and vice verse), and the bad ones are far enough away that I can negotiate buffers and come to peaceable agreements. My neighbours have an incentive to take care of the place around them (just like I do) and that in turn lets us become better versions of ourselves.

Money doesn't buy happiness. But it can set up the preconditions for happiness, when your survival and safety needs are met and you can afford to explore your interests without precarity hovering over your head.
