I just realised I completely forgot to show my finished Arthur cosplay so here!!

You can find the process of me making the hat here! Everything including the hat and the materials was purchased second hand and using things I already had (the rope, jeans, journal, neckerchief, etc) so it's a very budget cosplay but I think it turned out well! The total came to about £45, there's receipts here if you're interested <3

it is so hard to break the habit of consumption but once you start trying, once you really start to ask yourself "do i really need this brand new piece of garbage?" whenever you're at the target dollar spot, or wherever else, it becomes easier and easier to say, "actually, no. this will not bring my life new meaning. it will maybe provide a tiny dopamine rush, and then it will have served its purpose." and you'll start to realize that not only did you not need this $3 piece of plastic whatever, you didn't actually really want it. you'll go home without it and you won't regret it and the next day you won't even remember it

not to project like a motherfucker on natalie berzatto but ohhhh boy the impact of a narrative that says “hey, is your desire to make sure everybody around you is okay also about you? and could that perhaps be partially a maladaptive trauma response you should look into and maybe mitigate? because if it’s a genuine question that’s fine, but if the only answer you will respond well to hearing is yes that’s a You Issue Too, Babe”

An interaction me and my favorite subway worker had

Her: *complaining about manager cutting her hours, and mentions she won't be able to take her birthday off bc she otherwise won't make rent*

Me: 👀 *stays 30 min longer than I was planning until she steps outside for a quick break*

Me: So, how short are you on rent?

Her:

Her: *incapable of letting others do nice things for her* .... none of your business...

I’m thinking about Rebecca’s financial decisions.

On one hand, it’s established that Hollywood U is very expensive, and obviously tuition and housing are covered by the mysterious benefactor, but surely at a campus full of rich nepobabies, just hanging out with people and making friends could get expensive. Plus she likes to party, and she can finally do that without worrying about her family. And I imagine she felt deprived her whole childhood, but fuck it this is my money I do what I want. Especially, if her early roles don’t pay well. Each gig, she could look at the check and feel there’s not even enough worth saving, and just live in that pattern of letting money disappear the second she earns it.

On the other hand, she’s so ambitious and driven. And how long has she been making films for her small channel, getting creative and resourceful with no budget? How much has she had to plan and scrape together in order to make this happen without (as far as she knows at the time) sacrificing Ryanne’s wellbeing?

I could see it go either way. What’s her deal with money?

Prior to Hollywood U when she worked at a bank, she was a lot better at being responsible with her money. She wanted desperately to move out, so she was putting away most of her paychecks to be able to afford that sooner rather than later.

Though, in doing that, she often had to dip into her savings in order to afford diapers or formula and medicine, which made her feel incredibly anxious about saving money. She often fell into the pitfall of "what's the point, I'll never be able to afford this, why not just use it up and deal with my parents for a while longer?"

Once she got to Hollywood U, I think she adopted an ideology of "fuck it, my tuition and dorm is paid for and Ryanne's safe back home, I'm gonna do what I want"

I figure she sends some money back home for Ryanne every paycheck, but the rest of it? She blows it that weekend and complains the entire time between getting paid about having no money. She consistently has maybe $15 in her savings.

She's gotten very good at flirting for drinks at parties, and she loves a five finger discount.

this might be nuts but I think my sister & I might try to do a trip abroad with the baby next fall

So, I may have "adopted" (another) child. Sadly his current living conditions are absolutely horrible, he has a single set of clothing to wear, broken shoes, broken furniture, only potatoes to eat, and no privacy. I have no money or income to help, so I'm trying to figure out how to get the funds... I was considering a Gofundme, but due to the sensitive nature of his situation it would be a bit hard to explain the circumstances without putting him at risk. But to put things simply, he suffers from severe lifelong mental and physical conditions so he's permanently disabled, and that has made all his attempts at finding work fail (trust me, he's really tried!) so he's stuck where he is. He's stubbornly refusing my help at the moment though, but he really needs it... If you have the means, and want to help, here's my Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/A81611AH Every little bit counts - and I'll make sure it reaches him so he can have his basic needs met - especially now when it's getting cold!

makin pork roast and getting hit with bouts of anxiety and depression today. what a day

[draconicace]

i can't say this to my mom because she gives me rides and i can't afford to piss her off. but considering my brother (allegedly) stole from her and she loves stealing from me, it must be fucking hereditary

also don't read the tags if you're a worrier. it sounds bad and it is bad and life is bad for me right now. but causing people to worry over me isn't going to help

[britneyshakespeare]

you know someday i'm gonna feel so good when i have my student loans paid off

that ain't gonna be soon, trust me, but i think about it
