I hope this makes up for all the Octobear days I've missed. Done in gouache. It's been a rough month...

so i spun out and hit a tree on the way to work in the beginnings of the snowstorm this last week. even the cheapest replacement hatch is going to cost me $375, and a new taillight $150. i haven't got a quote for how much it'll cost to smooth out the frame, or any of the labor. for the last 3 years i've been trying to save up to move me and my 2 disabled siblings out of such an extreme rural area to a place with even a little more transportation security for this reason alone, as well as the level of isolation i'm forced to experience socially as a closeted trans person in the middle of trump country. i'd already more than halved those savings just to get a deal on this car last fall to have a more reliable vehicle for a move.

my mom has offered to help pay what she can, but she's not exactly rolling in cash either, so i thought i'd throw this into the ether. if you're in a tough spot yourself as so many of us are, please keep your money, but if you have some extra cash, any dollar will help.

drawing my au sabitos- this ones swap au :)

I only really have 1 full scene for this au- and it started from me thinking him & Shinjuro both being depressed drinking buddies, lamenting about their deceased dark-haired beauties

When Sabito became a pillar he turned the water estate into a sort of training hub for all breath of water users, to try and help more people to mastery. He pretty regularly spars with people in his downtime, makes comments and tries coaching people from the sidelines very often

Most people are kinda weirded out by him- hes aggressive and stern, very snarky, but he never takes off the mask and it makes him look perpetually sad- sometimes he has this air of melancholy around him, listless, the mask fits in better when hes in those moods. But aside that hes usually very kind and genuinely tries to look out for the skayers under his roof, very hospitable as long as they stay out his shit.

So hes very well received, but no one has seen his face- ever. They have all kinds of rumors and theories about why he wears it, what his face looks like, what the mask is even supposed to mean. Some of the more daring(/disrespectful/immature) inahbitants try to sneak a look in the mornings before he puts it on- but he's always wide awake, sightless blue eyes of the mask staring them down from an inch away the moment they open it

Anyways, one day he's out in the yard sparring with a higher ranked slayer in front of a group doing their own training and whatnot too- theyre both intensely into it, movements hard to keep track of and training swords clashing so loud it echos in the area. The slayer accidentally aims at his mask, the mood changes with a sudden pressure in the air when Sabito deflects the swing and reaches towards them in a flash- a harsh grip in their hair and yanking them so theyre centimeters from his face

"Don't touch the fucking mask."

Everyone drops dead silent at the utter malice dripping through his tone, a moment passes as Sabito realizes what he did and lets go of their hair. He gently ruffles it and straightens his back instead of posturing over them

"I deeply apologize. ...I think i should call it a day." he says in an uncharictaristically quiet voice before putting his training sword up and going to his room

NO ONE bothers him for the rest of the day, or the day after, they give him plenty of space and try their best not to prod at him or tick him off like they usually do- the slayer who was sparring w him was scared shitless and tries their damndest to stay out of his way and not piss him off again. They've never seen him genuinely angry like that- he gets pissed off and annoyed plenty, daily even, but that sudden cold fury over the near hit of his mask was terrifying to witness.

I wish more people could wrap their heads around “labor rights and a strong social safety net are important not just to the very poor, both on principle and because weakening those things means that more people end up in poverty” and “people at different socioeconomic levels have different experiences even if you disregard the very rich, and people can be viciously classist even if they don’t have all that much money themselves.” Also, if there could be a moratorium on “if you were really poor, you wouldn’t have/do [thing that varies a lot in expense depending on a million different factors].”

Okay, so as I think I've mentioned here I like to shop at a local fabric store that resells deadstock, what I haven't mentioned is that that place is an absolute bloodbath when they get now stock. They send out an email to their email list at midnight on friday when something new comes in, and you have to get it fast. So this week they had vintage fabric which I desperately wanted, so I go in. Literally in the time it takes me to put a few things in my cart and go to check out everything in my cart except one piece sells out (don't ask me why they don't 'hold' something for you when it's put in your cart, but basically it seems it's not yours until you hit the buy button). Which was a bit devastating because I really wanted this pink wool for some vintage 1930's patterns I have coming in the mail.

BUT I got the vintage Velour!! I had been searching for something like it for ages and I feel like I really lucked out getting it here, so I can celebrate for that at least
