Things go from bad to worse nowadays

I may lose internet soon.

It's not my decision to make since I'm not paying for connection at all and I support it even if it sounds horribly lonesome for me.

Long story short our electric bill is high this time around and unfortunately coincides with another surgery that my dad is going to undertake to fix his eyesight. (2 out of 3 surgeries if I'm correct) My dad is still the only one working. My mom may as well be disabled. I went to graduate so I could look for a medical coding job only to find out that I was misinformed by three different advisors at the college. I still have at LEAST one more class in the fall to take. (Furious does not begin to describe how I feel.)

I don't have a monetary goal in mind because it doesn't feel right to ask for money right after the laptop fundraiser but.... if you want me to draw something for money I could? It probably won't be big. Just icons, doodles, or maybe Final Fantasy Tactics style sprites. (I used to do those a LOT back in my deviantart days.) DM me for art examples.

Or I could write you a thing. I'm a way better writer than I am an artist. I dunno. I feel awful even asking-- but if I have to choose between my pride and having my needs/wants met... I choose the latter.

if you remember rise of the guardians (2012) you are entitled to financial compensation

the reason were wanting until next month is cause without insurance the treatment will be absurdly expensive and while we can have the doctor pay back the money later it can take up to two months and like we cant wait that long!

My only good PS4 controller decided to quit working and my other controller has such terrible drift and the right analog stick doesn't work half the time :) and I can't get an off brand one because it's a different texture and makes my OCD go wild in a bad way :) so my options are I just don't play till I get paid again (around the 31st) or I cancel my therapy appointment to get a controller because video games are an incredibly important comfort for me and my ADHD :) and because I only have enough money for my $90 phone bill and either therapy or a controller :)

Some guy at my school made a pornographic deepfake of one of our teachers and she might be getting fired for this... The hellworld has come ladies, any man can turn us into pornography and have us punished for it

yeah no that's an intentional sign that i condone real life incest. i also didn't write "in private" and "not in the presence of a minor" so that obviously means i support public indecency and child sexual abuse. you fucking idiot.

i feel like the 'not every song has to be directly about the songwriter's lived experience' thing has gotten twisted into 'if you write autobiographical songs they are inherently less artful and good' and it's soooo annoying like yes some (in fact, the majority imo) of the up and coming artists you see trying to make it on tiktok are terrible lyricists. and either they will grow and learn or they won't but i have seen several instances of ppl weaponizing this neutral thing against (you guessed it) young women and girls specifically to discredit their talent and i hateeeeeee it.

I fucking lied i hate dreamwastaken and hes ugly ♡ go read / watch moonknight instead

I truly wish I had any artistic talent just so I could lowkey redo all dramione fanart with Astoria because oh my god the ratio of dramione to drastoria fan content is so heartwrenchingly depressing

So Dungeons and Daddies Season 2 is really just taking the average coming-of-age story and making it to every horrifying extreme, huh.

It is that moment in which you realize your parents don't know what they're doing any better than you do, and people present it like it's something comforting, but it's just even more terrifying because there really, really is no right answer. It's realizing that no, love isn't enough, sometimes you love your family and it just made everything worse. Everyone who came before you fucked things up even when they were trying to make things better, and unfucking everything just seems impossible, but not even trying is such a depressing option, and one your kids will never be able to forgive you for.

I have many feelings on this.

sometimes i'll think abt a Fandom and wish it were bigger, and sometimes i'll read something from a fandom.. and wish it were smaller

girl who sucks at making OCs needs to make a DnD character send help

[very-lost-hobbit]

Seeing so many people I once respected and even adored/admired prove themselves mask off antisemites when given the chance and an "appropriate" enough reason is so incredibly heartbreaking. So many left leaning and supposedly empathetic people apparently do not hear themselves right now.

Since you mostly draw TFA, idk about you but when I started watching TFA I never expected this wet cat college student version of Optimus to become my favourite Optimus. I just think he's a really cool interpretation of the character and I wish he was my dad tbh

SAME HES MY FAVORITE <3333 i grew up watching tfa but admittedly barely remembered any of it except for bee megatron prowl and blackarachnia b/c those were the ones i had toys of, i still have blackarachnia.. sadly the rest were lost in the Incident.......... i like tfa optimus a lot in part b/c how he contrasts w other versions of him (if ur wondering the other series ive seen is most of g1, beast wars, cyberverse, the bumblebee movie, earthspark and big chunks of tfp from when my dad was watching a couple years ago). i'd decided to watch tfa on a nostalgia fueled whim and went Whoa this is fucking Goord and well. now i have a nendoroid optimus prime and i've got legacy override and twitch on the way. but back to tfa op hes very fun to contrast w other versions bc hes just SO different. and hes like the last version of optimus that had a real personality ^_^ but the biggest thing i like abt tfa op is that hes just some fucking guy. he gets angry. he yells at people. the writers werent afraid of making him fall flat on his face. hes impulsive. hes a little crazy. hes a total bitch. hes petty. he has two of the worst exes possible. he talks stiff and formally around humans other than the sumdacs and i think its really cute. he told sentinel to shove it up his ass. when he gets really mad his fucking engine revs. hes perfect. he sucks. hes done nothing wrong. he is a chronic fuck up. hes a little bootlicker. he has a hero complex while also thinking of himself as a total loser. he died for 75 seconds once.

Bruce Wayne Headcanons

that I cannot reconcile with current/most/ALL of his comics characterization but I hold onto nevertheless

—Bruce Wayne!! trains each of his Robins with the goal of them becoming better than him.

—Bruce Wayne!! intends for the Robins to be his actual failsafe if he ever went off the deep end. (Fuck that weirdo robot lol.)

—Bruce Wayne!! 1000% blames himself for Jason Todd’s death I don’t care what the comics have had him say or what his dumbass inner-narrative has said…*handwave handwave* all of that was just him desperately trying to cover the hole in his heart from failing his son so completely.
