Lmao fuck transportation companies the CDTA rep at our meeting was talking about half rates for veterans and disabled people and how they require proof of ssdi or a dishonorable discharge and the veteran guy spoke up and was like “you know just because someone doesn’t have an honorable discharge doesn’t mean they’re a bad person” and the rep was like “well we can absolutely talk about using alternatives for other veterans”

And so I spoke up and said “what about people with disabilities who aren’t deemed ‘disabled enough’ to get ssdi but are still unable to operate or work enough to afford a vehicle? Would you allow proof of OPWDD registry? Proof of diagnosis?” And he was just like “they would have to use paratransit (a service where you get picked up near the bus route)” and I asked what the fee was and he told me

And I was like “so if a person is too disabled to drive or work to afford a car, and their ssdi process gets denied (which it almost always does without an appeal) then a person would have to go through a special application process just for the privelage of paying over twice as much for your services” and he looked me dead in the eye and said “we’re already losing money on this service. It’s costs us $30-$50 per paratransit ride” and then turned his whole body away from me

Just to be clear CDTA is a public benefit corporation, which means it receives federal and state support. In fact it received a little less than 75 million in said assistance in 2022, they have a steady multi year (read shady) “miscellaneous” expense of nearly 3/4 of a million, and their CEO makes 239,000 annually. But 30-50 bucks for people who are paying the taxes that fund them is a drain say that to me again with a straight face.

ALSO they won’t even put benches ($200 plus a day of labor for what, 3 people?) in a stop unless it’s profitable enough so physically disabled people can’t use the normal transit with the normal fare if they can’t afford paratransit literally go fuck yourself

hi, hi!! it's been awhile since I've fandom-posted something. here's a small redesign of joshua! I'm thinking of designing all the known cael devils with some non-human features too. this is jst a headstarter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! A Joshua for you :D

HIM!!!!!! HE LOOKS SO SO SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u so so so much!

[missr3n3]

Ouh... lil baby beast and lil baby guy...

Yeah my stupid idea was that everyone still gets replaced but instead of merking the kids they get dumped in Canada. Why Canada? Its closest (I think I don't know American states I'm British haha) and they felt lazy.

So PYHA is just a terrible reunion between human and devil josh except its not serious. at all.

i had to draw this idea its rly funny

[missr3n3]

Since Isaac already met Issac in Ohio, it's time for Joshua to meet Joshua in Ohio too /lh

@moonlightsmasquerade may as well return the favor ❤

(Don't ask where this came from, I also don't know)

Luce: I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SLEPT WITH A HUMAN, IN MY DAMNED BED!

Cairyx: I wasn't expecting it! There was no time to go to a motel!

Luce: A "MOTEL"? LIKE SOME DIRTY LOW-CLASS?!

[R.I.P Furniture]

Luce: *grabs Andrew like a plushie* YOU WANT TO SCREW AROUND WITH THIS ONE TOO?!

(Andrew is launched like a canon ball)

Cairyx: Of course not!

Luce: YOU ARE A WALKING EMBARASSMENT! I WILL NOT SPEND ANOTHER MOMENT LOOKING AT YOUR PATHETIC, HUMAN-LOVING FACE!

[R.I.P Vases]

Joshua, who is also there for some reason: Are you two done screaming for the morning?

Cairyx: Uh.. Well....

Luce, in the distance *clearly not*

bold of u to assume cairyx can fuck lol

I'm one of those anons that come along, get a name and start throwing interesting fan stories at you, and for that reason, I'd like to ask: if a "contract" with a Goetic could be made, what would they be willing to give and how much would they demand in return?

-Error505

there aren't really "contracts" in cdta, but there are pacts like what isaac unintentionally did to get joshua out of the Nightmare Sand Pit!

when it comes to demands, all devils recognize blood (bc its basically a person's life force), and the amount scales with how powerful the devil is. a weak idiot baby like joshua only needed a few drops to make something happen, but for a Goetic. you'd probably have to kill a few people at minimum

i'm not sure a pact like that would fully work with a Goetic though. Goetics (ESPECIALLY Luce) are very temperamental and would probably just kill the person attempting a pact if they were asked to do something they didn't already want to do (causing death suffering chaos etc)

though if someone did manage a pact with a Goetic, and asked it to do something it found agreeable, they'd have to do more killing every time they wanted to invoke the Goetic's power (just like how isaac has to cut himself every time he needs joshua to do something involving his devil powers)

[missr3n3]

funfact: other ways to call joshua are yesua, yohosua, iesus, yehosua, and.. jesus.

the best (and probably funniest) way to call this emo demon boy is jesus from hell.

(Your friendly anon hater was here!)

someone finally figured out why i picked the name joshua in the first place :3

[missr3n3]

for a split second, I read one of your posts as "sorry for joshua taggin, oc atkin" 💀

(Your friendly anon hater was here!)

honestly i could give joshua his own specific blorbo tag at this point, with how many posts i see that remind me of his wet cat self XD
