#gestures wildly at my post

Something I don't get is when someone is talking about things being expensive and then some americans are like, it's not actually a scary $125 guys it's actually only $80 which is still a lot but it's actually kinda reasonable for the item

And it's like no!!! It doesn't work like that!!! Just because it costs less in usd doesn't mean the person didn't actually pay that much!!

If you buy a mug for $125aud, and you live in australia, you're paying that in $125aud, not $80aud!! Currency conversion doesn't matter in the slightest for understanding because in practice it is functionally the same as paying $125usd for a mug in america!!

If I earn $15cad/hr, and someone in Poland is earning 15zł/hr, and they bought an item that was like 150zł, me converting that price into Canadian and being like it's actually not that bad bc it's only like $50cad :), it doesn't change the fact that that for them!! It was a lot more!! Like functionally that's the same as $150cad

Functionally 1cad = 1zł = 1aud = 1usd = 100¥

Like the only time currency conversion is useful is for figuring out how far your coin goes when used in another economy, not for understanding if an item is or isn't expensive for a person living in said economy

been thinking about an elaborate au-kinda-but-mostly-canon-retelling thing. One of the things i was thinking about was incorporating Green getting injured in Origins, but with lasting consequences of having a giant 200lb turtle slammed against him at mach speeds instead of just magical full recovery offscreen. Disabled rep is so rare so I like to fit it where I can lol

more on the story though, this is like ~16 months or so after the Championship. Red's disappeared about a year prior. Leaf (who's Red's sister in this particular au) is dragging Green with her to the islands to get him out of his post-Red funk and help her conduct some zoographical research of the area. I wanna draw more of them hanging out, too~

after seeing everything obito managed to accomplish over the years, i can't help but wonder if he was ever really a 'hopeless case' as a student, or if he was just stuck with some pretty incompetent teachers.

even when you look at his childhood flashbacks, he was clumsy yes, but how could anyone see that kid and think he was talentless? 😭

You kiss Vriska Serket on the school roof to see if her lip gloss is worth stealing.

You don't get why Karkat made such a fuss.  Kissing girls is wrong, but next to serial pickpocketing, whose gonna care?

Everyone has kissed Vriska Serket, even Tavros Nitram.

Not like you stole her first kiss.

When you go back to your tree the lipgloss tastes the same. Which is rude since stolen shit tastes better!

She kissed you the next day in gym class.

You wonder if she finds the taste any different.

She must; why else would she do it twice?

slithering out from under a rock or something to inform you that you DO have followers who are yaku lovers <3 he's been my fave since day one and i would love to accompany him to the farmers market

I want to post more of my dndads thoughts/headcanons/general ramblings but the problem is most of my thoughts are just [eyes roll back in my head and I screech uncontrollably for minutes on end] yknow??

It is genuinely so funny to me that Vegetta was complaining about Leonarda not being online so much that Cucurucho himself showed up, man really has the entire world wrapped around his finger (as he should).

Fellas, is it gay when you represent the best part of your best friend’s life and he wants to bring you back to life and you don't want to hurt him so you say yes and he clutches you to his chest? Asking for a friend.

the name line. that name line.

"Don't call me Sherbert! That's not my name!"

it's not. It's never *been.* it's the name Quixis gave them. It's the name Quixis forced on them. It's the name of the person they're not; the person Quixis tried so so hard to make them into. It's never been them because they're not sherbert. I'm just. I'm braining about it so hard, actually <33

watching the last 10 eps of mlc with the novel still rattling around in your head is truly just an extended experience in alternating between *chinhands* and (overwhelmingly) *head in hands*
