help me move out of my tiny car and into a vehicle like this!

i'm disabled and homeless, and while i'm in the process of getting approved for disability, i need more safety and stability.

with a larger vehicle like these, i could have enough space to install a kitchen, bed, electricity, shower, etc, and essentially make a home out of it. if you've ever wanted to help house a homeless person, please consider donating to my fundraiser!

the goal is 10k, but vehicles like this sell for much cheaper! as soon as i can, i'll purchase a suitable vehicle and start the project immediately. i'll use whatever i don't spend buying the vehicle for maintenence it might need, the tools and materials i'll need to convert it, plus the legal stuff surrounding registration, first year of insurance, etc. anything still left after that will be used to just allow me to live longer and have a safety net while i get income.

this is something i've been dreaming of for a long time, and as the housing market gets crazier i've realized it's probably the only way i'll have a stable home. i've been researching this project for years and i'll have some helping hands, so your money will be used well to create a home for me.

we're on pace to get me into a van by the end of summer or early autumn, and i could finish the conversion before it starts snowing! this is way sooner than i ever expected. please consider donating, and/or boost this post to keep up the momentum!

i feel like you guys only hear about the bad tiktok phenomenon, like Girl Math and stuff like that, bc it prompts more of a reaction. but i want to let you know that i keep seeing one that's called Dinosaur Time, and it's where you SHOVE fistfuls of raw spinach, straight out of the tub, into your mouth and eat it like you're a dinosaur ravenously devouring a delicious tree star. and then you've had a serving of greens. and all it took was 10 beautiful seconds.

Thoughts on bi4bi zutara? My personal favorite headcanon for them is that they both dated jet in every au its SOO funny

Oh! I love ZK having Jet as a mutual ex! It's always such a fun concept to see in fics. So terribly funny indeed!

ZK is my endgame OTP. Beyond Mutual Ex Jet, I can also see him having a huge crush on both Zuko and Katara at the same time. As a matter of fact, this is precisely what happens in my Lee & Kya AU—Jet has a massive crush on the couple.

...and he's also a terrible flirt.

stormbringers fucking insane for using rimlaine as a contrast to skk. these two couldnt trust each other fully and rimbaud only believed he could help verlaine feel human, not truly be so, and still considered him Other, however much he believed them to be equals, verlaines humanity only existed in rimbauds eyes because he gave it to him. verlaines inability to accept his own humanity or even really that rimbauds feelings for him were genuine because he, alone, singular, monstrously set apart from humanity, should be incapable of receiving anything resembling affection or genuine understanding, such that it left him betraying his partner. and then they cannot exist as two beings working seamlessly together. rimbaud and verlaine in fact cannot exist as two beings at all, only as one conjoined entity. verlaine kept alive with rimbauds skill, and rimbaud, long dead and refusing that reality until he can find his partner, existing only as an extension of verlaine. while skk who do trust each other blindly, who do see humanity in each other enough to look past when they doubt it in themselves, who see humanity not as a defined be or be not, but as a set of values, as a do or do not. they are able to exist as one act in two parts. interdependent, always, even down to their skills, but still functioning as one unit in two separate cogs made to fit together.

i do still occasionally think about that one show

I was thinking about this post comparing sqh and jgy, and then this chart happened. this is less about what they're Actually like, and more about a combination of intentional persona + public perception of them

[cosmoport]

been working out some more solid designs for the siblangs recently ^_^

[saintskeptic]

Thinking about the parallels between Scully's confession in Revelations and her conversation with the therapist in Irresistible:

In both scenes, she admits, glassy-eyed, that she feels unable to speak about her feelings with Mulder... and this deeply upsets her.

Despite her devoutly skeptical persona, her high emotional walls, and the countless things they debate and disagree on, deep down, Scully hates feeling other to him. There's a real loneliness in both of these scenes.

As much as Mulder relies on Scully to be truly known (his human credential, as DD puts it), she relies on him in much the same way: to be the one person to see her through her thick shell, to accept her contradictions, to know her own hurt, fears, and loneliness. She wants that very badly.

So it crushes her when he can't understand her.

thinking about Aaravos' "Rare as it may be, young Terrestrius has something we need" and Viren's "I needed one more thing, something so simple and easy, her tears" and Claudia's "But you are young, and alive, and I need you" to the deer, and "I told you we simply needed a large feather and a very big feather," and Ezran's "Callum, High Mage, we need you at this council meeting" + "the Nova Blade was lost for generations until we needed it"

vs

"But you need to know that you and Callum are not broken, you're brothers," "Your brother Ezran needs you," "she said I had to stay with Soren, that this was my home and that my brother and I needed each other," "I'm your daughter and I need you. Ethari needs you," and "Because we were going to need each other. Because we're brothers. I still need you, Ezran" "I need you too"

We ARE going to bring up Captain Amelia. You have good taste! GOOD TASTE I SAY! *aka I just rewatched Treasure Planet and got hit with, "Oh yeahhhhh... that explains a lot!"*

honestly, the Meg/Jasmine/Amelia trifecta tells you 90% about me as a person. (the rest is covered by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus and, uhhh, I'll stop baring my soul to the world now)

and speaking of Amelia, this is tangential, but like -- there's one Twst comic I have been kicking at for a while where I needed an RSA sports/flight teacher and, uh, well

someday I will wrangle this stupid comic into coherency and she'll get to make an appearance (in the background of a single panel, half-obscured by a tall hat) (but I will know she's there and that's the important thing)

Hi, I need some help. My bank account has been in the negatives for over a month now and the bank is threatening to close it if I don’t pay it in 10 days. I have no job (I have been looking since last year) and no money— the money I get is mostly spent on food and other bills, so as much as I want to set it straight I can’t. I would also like to build up some extra savings if possible, so I can continue paying for things I need and feel somewhat hopeful about my future for once.

If it helps at all, I’m a disabled and trans artist/writer who is trying to move out of a shitty situation. Any amount will mean the world, and thank you for reading.

"Sam he doted on.  Sam he loved."

So says Dean's sense of himself.  The reality is . . .

I'm not going to say John Winchester didn't love his sons.  Or that he was incapable of loving his sons.  He very clearly does, deeply.  The thing about John is, loving his children isn't his first priority.  John is a soldier, and the priority is the mission.  Kill the evil that destroyed his life.  Wherever it dwells and wherever it breeds.

(please don't at me about  John's Journal the novel, that directly contradicts canon in so many ways I wonder if it was written by a committee of people who only watched a few episodes apiece)

John's concern for Sam over Dean makes a lot more sense if you take love out of the equation entirely, and think of the boys as assets.  Dean as an asset is one John's trained and groomed well enough John doesn't need to worry about him.  John gives an assignment and Dean will get it done, end of. Dean as an asset is replaceable-- someone else could do his job (we know that's not true but John the Hunter doesn't put much value on Dean's soft skills).  Sam?  Sam has a direct line to Yellow Eyes.  Sam is unique and irreplaceable.  Sam must be protected in order to preserve the strategic edge he can provide.  He must be kept away from the enemy at all costs because the enemy is grooming him for their own purposes.  And Sam must be kept ignorant of that fact because if Sam knew about it Sam might make a stupid decision (which is any decision at all, John's absolute reluctance to cede authority is well documented). Losing Dean would break John's heart but since when does that matter?  The mission is all.  Love just isn't that important in comparison.

That's how Dean knows John's been possessed.  Not because John was being too nice; because John was treating Dean like a son and not like an asset, and that is very out-of-character for John.  Much as that knowledge hurts Dean -- and all the credit in the world to Mr. Ackles for conveying that just through the eyes -- he knows John well enough to know his own feelings are a non-issue and John would've ripped him up one side and down the other for wasting a shot.

John never doted on Sam. John valued Sam. Those aren't the same thing.
