#without you from rent

"Nikolai had shattered Yegerov's friend's skull with the wrench propped up against the wall nearby. The blood had spattered up his bare torso, matting his chest hair, stained the side of his face. Shirtless, with a buzzcut he hadn't worn since his time in the Russian Air Force, he looked every part the madman he had become."

From this fic by @on-a-lucky-tide

As you can see, the image staid with me.

It will never not be super ridiculous that Buffy had to single-handedly protect the world from demons, raise her teenage sister, manage a household, and work a full time job, all at the age of 22 and everyone around her is like “god Buffy just grow up and deal with it, stop acting like it’s hard.”

pro endo becuase it upsets me that you would choose a fundamentally carceral institution over an experience you don’t personally understand.

Okay I have an idea for the german operators so hear me out.

In germany it is common practice that primary school kids have to get a bicycle license, its not a real license that is worth anything but it is a 1-2 week long course in primary school where they are taught traffic rules as a pedestrian and cyclist. (is is prolly different from school to school tho, just going off of the common experience of my friends and I)

For these courses they usually go to practice fields which are usually intended for drivers-license trainees to practice on without a teacher present.

The courses are usually overseen by the teachers, at least one police officer and a bunch of police academy students.

Now enjoy the mental image of younger police academy students IQ, Blitz, Bandit (+his twin brother) and Jäger having to deal with a haggle of 8 year olds.

Jäger squatting on the floor next to a bike, explaining the mechanisms and how to fix it yourself if the chain pops off while the kids are sitting on the floor around him.

Bandit cheering "let 'em fight!" while his twin brother has to pull two kids apart so they‘ll stop fighting over who cut off who at the crossection.

IQ in front of a big ol board with all the street signs and different road markings, explaining what they mean.

Blitz being swarmed by a bunch of way too interested kids because asking the nice policeman about police-stuff is much more interesting than listening to what ever it is the teachers actually dragged them there for.

If I was to make a Lolilo The Musical playlist like the one I made for NMTD, where I retell the story using musical theatre songs, I would fully use “Without You” from RENT to represent the Beadick Week-Long Breakup. Because that shit is maudlin and melodramatic and romantic as hell, and neither of them would ever say “life goes on, but I’m gone, cause I die without you” out loud. But crucially, that’s how they FEEL. And the point of musical theatre is that characters sing what they’re too emotional to say out loud.

Am at that wonderful standstill with house repairs where i am now broke again. Today will be "find little tasks no one likes to do for money" day to recouperate expenses so i can continue.

I am forever thankful to the people that helped me last week, and the person (i will find out who you are and love you one day) who helped me this week. If anyone else has a couple dollars free, i could use that to buy some nails/tiles for the roof, or spackle for interior holes in the ceiling, or primer/paint to fix up the water damage. Idk this house needs a Lot lmao

PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF OUT FOR ME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THOUGH

I know I haven't said much about it, but legitimately, "running away" was one of the most pivotal life decisions I've ever made. Probably THE first major life decision I've made, and also the best. If you have an opportunity to go, leave. Get out of there. If you are not safe at home, emotionally, physically, whatever, and you're able to leave, do it. It's going to suck such major ass for a while because you're going to have to deal with the scars they've left on you, but I wholeheartedly, full-throatedly, with-my-chest promise you that it is going to be better. You're going to be better. If you have the privilege of being able to escape, no matter how difficult it feels, then RUN.

(vent in the tags) me thinking i've finally escaped financial problems: :DDDDD

kinda sucks having good days and bad days cause you can never plan anything. I think about getting into sport or dance and all I can think is "I can't guarantee I'll be able to that day". I hate making plans and suddenly being forced to drop them cause I'm not feeling well. Sucks for me, sucks for everyone else I had to ditch on. And then Ill be stuck at home a couple days later. Feeling fine. No plans. Nowhere to go. Angry I couldn't feel that way earlier. makes me feel fake. like I'm lying. and I hate it

i hate having four fucking ads on a 20-minute podcast episode.

(it's a rant, enjoy.)

no, i don't want to get your shitting plus subscription, i don't even pay for 95% of the films and shows i watch online. stop fucking begging for patrons, it's not our problem you want to do this full-time. good for you if you do it but it's not somehow our duty to get you there just because you're a creator. not everyone can afford 60 fucking subscriptions. instead of people getting the minimum to at least get by as a basic human right, i bet like 85% of creatives online are making elite clubs on patreon and shit for those who have spare money. i get that you need it, but so many people (especially PDA neurodivergents) are extremely put off by being asked to pay and won't do it (like me) just because of that. i've encountered art that had the option to pay without requiring it, and I did. because they deserved it anyway, and they understood the classism and capitalism ingrained in the internet creative culture and that a lot of people don't have the means to become members of the club. i'm planning on starting a podcast, been wanting to publish fiction in paper since i was a kid, and i still want to make all that 100% free with the option of payment, because i believe that knowledge, stories and art should be accessible to anyone, regardless of financial situation (what do you think libraries are for, hm?????). when it's not, that's when elitism starts to rise and i'm just too tired for that shit. the empty snobbery culture around modern art alone is driving me insane.

Starkid has been recording their performances for years and guess what - they're massive, they sell out, people attend their live plays for the experience, but those who can't are still able to be a part of the fandom (as opposed to broadway musicals that get shared through bootlegs, hm) and they don't expect their fans to be responsible for their means of living. people who want to see a live performance, to buy your book in a bookshop professionally bound and keep it, to thank you for making your day by buying you a coffee will do so of their own free will. don't beg them to pay for your groceries if you made the choice to put your art out there. it's the system that is responsible for taking care of your basic needs, not your fans.

Do all these billionaires WANT to have a reason to use their bunkers? And that's why they're hastening the complete collapse of the US and mucking around in the elections of other democracies? Cause if you pause a fuckton of federal money that pays salaries and helps people stay on their feet while also not hiring anyone to work for the federal government and deporting everyone who picks our damn food and slaughters our damn animals, then wtf do you think is gonna happen?

We're speeding toward a situation where white collar folks have to turn to the the gig economy to get by, only there is no longer demand for that kind of work cause there are so many fewer white collar workers who need their groceries and meals delivered, so competition will be fierce. Wages will go down. The folks who used to do those jobs are gonna end up replacing the deported workers & they'll be so desperate for cash that they'll take the same shitty wages and wealth inequality will rise to the point where there is no fucking middle class anymore and then we'll all be slave laborers and then...
