The truth behind firing the Starkiller.

Inspired by this of course (x)

As I just can’t figure how to draw Hux so I will actually like how he looks in my style, I decided to draw his cat instead. All hail Millicent. About 20 hours of work, but totally worth it.

“It was an old-fashioned house - the sort of house in fact, as Strange expressed it, which a lady in a novel might like to be persecuted in.”

Inktober without prompt

Some product of the madness tincture. As it was majestically described, "this was a little unsettling."

Now I want some pineapple.

The Four Sacred Artistic Motives:

-how about Make-Believe Land can have whatever I want

-would that be fucked up or what

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.

Au: A young Effie Trinket is on work experience with an older woman who shall be the escort for the 52nd hunger games, where she meets Haymitch Abernathy, the mentor for district twelves male and female tributes.

At first she thinks its wonderful, welcoming two under privileged children into the capitol, she even finds herself becoming friends with the two tributes as she is almost the same age. Despite Haytmich’s warnings, she grows attached, she watches intently as the designers make the tributes into fashion icons. (Sparking her on interests in fashion.)

It isnt long until the full weight of whats going on begins to sink in as she watches the first of the tributes die. The escort barely caring. Suddenly the image she had envisioned in her mind shattered and she saw the games as what they were, horrible. 

It was too late, Effie had already signed up, and the capitol did not take kindly to quitters. So she donned on a wig and forced herself to be excited, fake and empty until she had begun to believe her own enthusiasm.
