the halloween special, i mean, Medieval AU continues>> the arrival of the grievously wounded Kingsguard disrupts Bastien's very isolated, very drunk rural village life - but in much different way than he expected. somehow, miraculously, Wolfgang slowly recovers, and the two of them spend many evenings sharing wine and stories by the fireside, finding each other to be pleasant company.

but how long will the vampire be able to resist the call of the priest's blood >:3

#oc art #original characters #art #sketch #medieval au #wolfgang #bastien #wolfien #comics #god this turned into such a meme fsifjs please i hope you enjoy #i had way too much fun sketching these #next time we will find out what happened in Week 3 #to give you more context about bastiens little life he had plans of rising through the ranks and becoming a respected and rich bishop #instead he ends up assigned to a fuck off village in the south where the people dont really like him and he doesnt really like them #he spends his days tending to the few animals he keeps and tending to his shitty wine #when a knight comes knocking on his door hes like fuck. its the cops and they finally realized we havent been paying taxes #luckily for him this particular knight is in worse trouble than his whole village #i never know how much people want to know so i try to write succint posts but i have Lore for each of these interactions. feel free to ask

how long does it take for taxes people to go after bruce wayne? because he must be evading so much, like can he even declare half of what he spends in random equipment and chemicals? is it even possible to declare purchasing kryptonite?

#lex luthor also evades taxes but in a nastier way #dc should really invest in a tax the rich movement they have too many sketchy billionaires #batman #bruce wayne #dc #lex luthor #superman #gotham

don’t let me reread because i saw this

and an image of reynevan pleading innocent like the crying cat meme flashed across my mind

#szarlej: if the sorcerer does not fit you must acquit!!#you know we were robbed of a scene where szarlej pretends to be reynevan’s lawyer? that should have happened at least once #what is with bandits robbing tax collectors in sapkowski’s novels??#you know of all the get rich quick schemes out there robbing a tax collector has REALLY dropped off in terms of popularity #i guess this is what happens when you study foreign trade - economics and then have an interest in medieval history #im still like omg. raubritters were a thing you didnt just make that up? that’s fucked up. but cool that it wasn’t made up. but fucked up #and it’s literally raub + ritter. obvious german should be obvious #the first is a cognate and the second i know from rittersporne which guess how i know that 🙄#anyways…#you know… if angoulême still had friends around there’s a less than zero chance they would have tried to jump regis #he would hear it coming from a mile away (… maybe literally) and just disappear around a street corner #or… hide under a rock… like canonically. honestly still not sure why he did that.#ITS THE FULL MOON. YOU CAN FLY #regis answer = ‘idk… i got scared 😥😥…’#honestly interesting conundrum because too many ideas i have seen are like ‘someone tries to fuck with a vampire they get ripped to shreds’#which ok wish fulfillment i get it but #consider that 1. regis is nonviolent and would likely put someone to sleep over kill them #2. they are teenage hooligans 3. he understands teenager hooliganism #honestly he would pacify them and then while their eyes are empty he would just be like giving some solid life advice #bandits: standing with head drooped. probably drooling on themselves | regis: sounding like a turn your life around podcast #the elbow-high diaries #not even interesting post sorry just totally ramble nonsense here

we as a species could’ve lived in beautiful forests among the birds and danced until we decomposed into the earth, but no

i have a half-finished assignment on tobacco laws due at 11:59pm tonight

#but no #we have economy #and taxes #and a rotting earth #and pollution #and a clean cut between the rich and the poor #we could’ve been so much more #but instead we cut down our could have been homes and lock our could have been friends up #i really gotta finish this assignment

Sometimes when I'm birdwatching

#sometimes when i’m birdwatching #things that aren’t birds #bella vista drive #yacht #i think it's a private yacht?#not a cruise ship?#these days it can be hard to tell #eat the rich #take their boats to provide medical care #and transportation #for displaced orphans #b/c really #if this is your private yacht #you should be taxed at 100% of your net worth #beyond some culturally defined maximum

The government when you make money

The government when you spend money

The government when you save money

The government when you own something

My support for my Eat The Rich comrades ends at “Celebs shouldn’t discuss anything that’s hurting them. They’re millionaires, I hOpE tHeY sUfFeR mOrE!!!”

#like #if you’re really genuinely that progressive #then you should be able to acknowledge that the wealth gap is unacceptable and elites should be forced to pay their fair share of taxes #while also understanding that rich people are still people with struggles and traumas just like everyone else #and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them discussing things that stress them out and bother them and cause them pain #just because they’ve benefited from a grossly unfair capitalist system does not mean they’d spit on you for shopping at goodwill #guys I’m BEGGING you to understand that social and economic issues are complex and multilayered #when we say Eat The Rich we mean ‘redistribute some of their wealth and stop them from exploiting poor ppl’#we do not mean literally anyone with more than 500k in their bank is a demon who we should literally kill and bury in a shallow grave #guy pls I’m just-#young ppl on the internet being massively progressive :)#young ppl on the internet making very simplistic interpretations of progressive ideals their entire personality & being mean af about it :(#sigh #politics #lot of political posts lately #but tbf to my mutuals #I did warn you about it in my bio #eat the rich

every time i open jorge lorenzo’s instagram there is some new batshit crazy stuff he posted, it’s a joy every time, the man is a motogp legend, and he decided it wasn’t enough, he needed to defeat every other corny millennial man alive by exclusively following women and posting dude bro advice

this is so funny to me because honestly I have no clue what he posts on instagram beyond what gets reported on motogp news sites or (more commonly) what crosses the pond to reddit, but can't say I'm surprised... I don't use instagram myself so I have no clue what these men actually do on there lol. these days I am getting further updates on their activities via tumblr! quite glad not to be directly experiencing a lot of it!

anyway yeah that does all sound very... him. kinda reminds me of that 2013 controversy where monster energy did this thing where they made a video of him showing off his mansion filled with bikini-clad models. the video ended up being taken down, it was seen as tasteless both given spain's economic situation and... y'know, the gender of it all. and jorge does have an... interesting approach to social media in general. also definitely the most opinionated of the retired aliens these days! casey probably comes in second and he does have a lot of thoughts about many things, but generally speaking it's not QUITE as relentless as it is with jorge. he's really missing a bit of a filter lol, there's an entire career arc here where when he was younger he was all about finding himself and establishing a character and explaining to the world who he really was, before getting burned by the world and being way more closed off for quite a few years, before retiring and relaxing a bit and sharing everything that comes to his head. for better or for worse. he may be cringe but at least he's free

#one thing i do really admire about the spanish/italians is how they do at least TRY to bully their rich athletes #like the marc crying over evading taxes thing?? damn they need to start doing this shit to all our celebrities #//#brr brr #batsplat responds #the shades of misogyny are one thing but it's all so TACKY. extremely poorly socialised child prodigy athlete and boy does it show #like god that man really needed to be at the club. absolutely critical levels of should have been at the club #completely skipped the stage of his development where he just learns to relate to other human beings. any other human being #I do agree the cringe social media persona IS an important part of the puzzle like... the way he just keeps going #jorge is SO concerned with his own image but then you give him this tool of expression he can't ever stop fiddling with...#real lack of restraint. does yield quite a few gems #valentino is NOT reposting stories about motegi 2010 and reminiscing about the good old days. just wouldn't do that would he #he saves all his good ranting for podcasts #mind u I swear not a year passes in which casey isn't relitigating jerez 2011 #like my man I love you but was it really THAT serious. are we sure

Why is infrastructure and public transportation so horrible in america compared to the rest of the world?

Capitalism!

#anonymous #ask #politics for ts #i mean of course there's a longer answer #but that's really the main thrust of it #car manufacturers have for example repeatedly killed nationwide high-speed rail #because you guessed it #it would impact their ability to sell cars!#and when everything is privatized and for-profit #that doesn't really incentivize anyone to invest for the public good #especially when Tax Cuts For The Rich strip the public purse of needed funding #so yeah #capitalism #and the libertarian ideology of the American Free Market

i hope to see the dismantlement of capitalism in my lifetime and i mean it

#it feels like it's bound to get to its breaking point any moment now #something has Got to give dude #people are just going to get more and more hopeless until they just get angry #there's barely anything left for the rich and powerful to take from us #they are leeching us of every cent we could possibly give them and deriving us of joys for tax write-offs so they keep more money #it's. really painful to live in this world right now. but i can only do my best to live one day to the next #i hate that it's so hard to live without dreading something every day
