Writing Tips I personally dont like

(that doesnt mean that they're bad tips and you should avoid them, they just dont work for me)

Write everyday: even though consistence and displine are key to basically everything, that doesnt mean it's for all days. Like, nobody goes to the gym everyday (ot at least they cant for a long time without end up burned out). Plus, as someone with chronic pain which changes its intensity (from 'am i dying? it feels like it' to barely notices it) i cant write in bad days (and after bad days) and that's okay.

1667 words per day: NaNoWriMo is WILD. 1.6k is a lot of words. I doubt anyone can keep that for long (specially the ones who cant dedicate themselves to only being a writer and have to work, study, etc). Also, there are people who write slower than other. Personally, a normal writing day for me is 250-700 words and a really good one is 900-1400 (not as commun as i like them to be) and i know i cant do know do more than that with feeling burn-out. Setting unrealistic word goals makes you unmotivated. It's better to set a lower word goal and overachive than set a high one and feeling like a failure when it's impossible to do it.

Word goals daily: In my opinion, word count goals should be weekly, biweekly or monthly. That way, it's possible to compensate less-word days with days in which creativy sparks and you cant stop writing. (i personally like it weekly and 1000-2000 words on normal schools weeks and breaks and i dont even set one when it's exam week)

'Said' is dead: like any other word, it shouldnt be written one hundred times in a single page, but that doesnt mean you can never use it. Sometimes there is no better synonim.

Have a writing space: maybe it is because I dont do well with self-impose rutines, but writing in the same space all the time kills my creativity. I dont even change it that much, just a different part of my house/room, write in the floor, the kitchen, at a different place of the table, etc.

Write in the mornings: I get that write early means you cant procrastinate it, I just cant. This one doesnt have an argument to support it, it is actually a good tip, the only reason for this is that me and mornings are naturals enemies. (it would actually help me a lot, i just wont do it)

Update Post - May 23rd, 2023

🥲 Tumblr ate my post so I'm rewriting this from scratch!

I can't believes it's only been just a couple of days under three weeks since the demo was released... it feels so long ago now.

I've been dividing my time answering asks, outlining future chapters, and actual writing, so progress has been slow on all fronts! I hope the release of Chapter 2 won't take as long as Chapter 1, but there's also a big chance it will be larger than Chapter 1.

I've been thinking of doing biweekly or monthly updates instead. I mainly did weekly updates in the past to prove that I was working, even if I had nothing I could share yet. Now that I have a "proof of concept," so to speak, perhaps I can start spacing out these update posts!

Also, I know Chapter 2 is way far-off into the future, but considering the unlikeliness I'll ever open up a Patreon/Ko-fi, I'm thinking that anyone who fills out a feedback form about Chapter 1 providing their thoughts on questions (maybe min. 3 sentences for long form questions) will be able to get earlier access to Chapter 2 instead. Getting people's honest feedback and opinions matter the most to me!

But that's for the future. For now, thank you guys so much for being supportive and patient! This has been a surreal experience, and I am so happy that people like what I do. 💕✨

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

Mystery chickens arrive Wednesday and I'm so fucking hyyyyyyyype. I'm also nearly done with my week (especially since I have a short day tomorrow) and while I do have some paperwork and cleaning and henhouse set up this weekend (plus birthday shenanigans) I am hoping to relax a little and maybe get myself in order.

I pruned the seed lists down a bit as well so that the initial purchases are more affordable, and hopefully that means I will be able to buy a round with each of the next two pay periods. That should let me sow just in time for the end of the month and the beginning of summer (perfect timing for veggies given our long growing season here). That means we'll be able to have the hens and the garden up and running by the end of the summer, and I can finally start to relax about groceries. I do still need to find a good place to buy our bulk shelf stable goods, but once I do we can buy those monthly, gather our produce and eggs daily with a little biweekly supplement from the farmer's market, and have a weekly butcher trip, and we should be back to an affordable grocery budget again.

The bills are back to being manageable, and are all paid off except for the insurance which I called about today and nearly had a heart attack about but should be able to get paid off next month. I need to find about $400 for it that I'm not totally sure about right now, but I will make that happen.

I want to be able to keep up with my work as best I can, and I also want to start trying to be more proactive about my non-work time so I'm not feeling so overwhelmed and burnt out. We're mostly settled into the house now, and while we're behind schedule (understandably lol) of where I'd hoped to be by now, I think I can make our life plans keep working on a reasonable timeline if I just keep chipping away. For one, I want to get a clothesline so I can start handwashing our and line drying our clothes rather than continuing to spend our money and time at the laundromat. I did pick up septic safe laundry powder I can use in the upstairs bathtub. All I have to do now is buy and run a clothesline. Pretty sure I know where I want to run it too, as wifey and I have discussed that previously. Might look into a vintage washing board too if I can find one, as I HATE having to scrub and spin in the tub by hand. That should keep us until we can save up for our combo unit, or at least a washing machine.

I know wifey wants to look for a couch and a dining table with chairs for us. And I'd like to snag a buikt in sewing table for my office, maybe a small loom if I can find an affordable one. I might even set up a lace making station in my lil alcove I think, it has great lighting for the fine motor work.

The yard still needs trees and bushes planted, but honestly that may just be a next year project. I may have to accept that. That's okay though. Gives me time to better clear out the invasive jasmine and see how the rhizomatics alter the soil composition. Maybe this year we focus on the soil, the chickens, and the basic functions like the couch and sewing machine and clothesline. And then next year we can focus more on trees and bushes, washing machine, and creek rehab. Things that are likely to be more expensive or time consuming/complex.

I am really looking forward to digging into creek rehabilitation when we get to that point. The creek has visibly slowed it's momentum as time passes, and I can see the debris crowding out the water flow, but as we shore up the creek walls, add native water plants to filter and aerate the water, and reinvigorate the ecosystem, I'm hoping that we'll start seeing amphibians and salamanders more often. Right now we get large animals and some wild birds, so I think there must be at least some insect populations, but I know the dynamics of the creek are pretty limited at the moment. With luck that'll change quickly once the right natives are in place. There's an existing creek restoration project in the city I'm hoping to volunteer with and get some tips from on how to implement ours.

Anyway, I'm just really feeling optimistic, even if I know that there's still a lot of work ahead of us. It feels like the work is actually happening. Fingers crossed we're able to keep making headway.

Just some thoughts and wonderings about my comic project under the cut. Comments and thoughts are very welcome if you might have any!

Now that I've finished the first sketchbook of comic draft (119pages), scanned all of them and sorted them into chapters... I'm thinking a lot about what kind of update frequency and page amount I should be going for. All I know is that as a start I want to post the entire starting chapter (15pages) so people can get an idea of what's it going to be like. Maybe I'll figure out a suitable pace once I've digitized/drawn clean a small amount of pages, to see what kind of pace I can draw them with in general. (I'm sure it'll get faster once I get used to the layout and tools and all that.) But I'm still wondering what kind of chunks should I update with to have a good "rhytmn" so to say, so that it doesn't feel like it's updating too few pages at a time and people would feel like it's difficult to stay on top of the story over time. That is to say, people like to read (web)comics differently anyway, some won't bother to check small updates weekly/biweekly etc, and will rather come back to read when there's been a bigger chunk of new pages. So far my chapters seem to be around 20 pages, with few being 30-40... Would be cool to be able to update a whole chapter/month and the larger ones bi-monthly... But I don't think I could keep up a pace like that, esp with the latter chapters that will have huge amount of backgrounds to be drawn. So I'm pretty sure I have to go with smaller chunks. Personally i feel like 2-3 pages/week seems doable, but I also feel like that's not very fitting with how the pace of the comic is. So maybe 4-6pages biweekly would be better...? I will of course have a longer break every now and then so I can keep up with the draft and allow myself proper breaks too, but generally I would reaaaally like to do my best to keep up at least somewhat of a steady pace >_< I know I work better with structure and clear plans, but I'm also absolutely terrible at keeping any routines and schedules of my own making.(And nobody can predict artblocks or depressive episodes q_q)

I've also struggled over trying to figure out the name/title for the whole thing for a few months now. I've browsed thesaurus for words and their meanings so much with no real progress x_x

And another topic of many questions has been I will I publish it. Am I just going to make a site of my own for it that I can fully manage myself (shitton of extra work tho and probably some costs...) Am I going to publish it on something like Tapas.io and maybe be able to make some ad revenue money on the side? Am I going to start a patreon to publish it on? (would definitely turn away people even if it's 1$/month to get access to it)

Another thing that definitely throws some sticks in the gears about the publishing bit is that I'm planning on having the spicy bits of the comic be optional. So people who aren't interested in reading sexual content can skip the spicy bits without it making too big of a difference in the depth of the story. Vast majority of it is fluff after all. Buuuut. The spicy bits. Part of me really wants to put those behind a small paywall like patreon, because boy would I need some extra monies and boy do I know that people who are into spicy content are often willing to pay for it too if it hits their interests. But this whole separation of parts in the chapters will make it difficult or weird to try and publish on places like Tapas etc, that have separate sections for PG/adult rated comics. Also if I'd simply publish it as an adult one and it will be 80% fluff... I think people who search for spicy comics will keep interest in it - meanwhile it would also not find the audience that will never even search through the adult section. If I published through my own site via, say... squarespace, I could throw a link to patreon or such at the point where the spicy chapters would be...? OR I could just upload all of it with the spicy bits and just put in clear a clear warning and option to skip past the spicy bit for those uninterested. + I could do the thing that public uploads are slower but you can access new pages earlier through Patreon. This would make it optional for everyone which would be the... kindest choice I feel, while still giving me the possibility of making some few monies perhaps. (one can hope eh)

I'm also thinking about putting other illustrations and content through the "patreon timegate" that many artists do -peeps who want to see content earlier/access some extra content can pay for it if they want. I don't think I could do enough content for a patreon to keep it interesting enough if I wasn't working on the comic. So that whole things is still a big question mark as well.

Many big think. Brain heavy.

[b3comingme]

So I really do want to start using this blog more for actually keeping track of my fitness and workouts but life has been so hectic and stressful lately I have had nooo clue how to try and start! I think my goal is going to be coming up with a general format and starting posting daily updates by the time it hits March. Food/exercise/water/mood log, weekly/maybe biweekly weigh ins, monthly measurements, etc. mostly just posting this to hold me accountable to my start date 😂

[dracothedeatheatingcupcake-ao3]

What is up my dudes!! I have some good news!

I finished writing chapter 24 of TPWM! :-D

It's prolly the shortest chapter I've written in a while, only having about 15,000 words. Shocking, right??? That's still 3,000 more than the corresponding TPWP chapter, but at least it's not twice as long this time. 😅 I still have a lot of editing to do on both chapters 23 and 24, but they're at least written! This will give me almost nine months now to write chapter 25, which I should hopefully be able to do, ha.

By the way, if I am able to finish writing TPWM before my "one chapter every three months" schedule, I will definitely begin posting regularly again. Maybe not weekly, but at least monthly and maybe biweekly, we'll see.

Oh, and if anyone else is curious about TPWM word count like I am, I've officially passed 400k words on this fic, officially making it the longest thing I've ever written. :-) It's also on track to reach 500k, since there's still at least 5 chapters to write, and I'm expecting one of them to be at least 50k words, if not more. So... buckle up, buttercups. If I manage to get over 520k, I'll officially have the longest fic in the Ishimondo tag, though, so that's something. 😅

More reguri tropes to discuss if you will:

"Green visits Red at Mt. Silver monthly/weekly/biweekly"

"Green has to go to Kalos and there's angst"

(kinda linked to the trope before) "Red is oblivious to Green's initial pining but realizes he's in love with him too when Green has to leave"

"Lance is their father figure and he's so done with the pining"

YAAAAY THESE ARE SO FUN!!!!

I like Green visiting Red on a monthly basis or it's irregular. Like idk if he'd be able to leave every month, but then again, Green isn't one to care about following the rules with his gym. He def runs away from that feeling of restrictions and rules. I think things would reach a point where he feels like he's too good for the gym or he's stunted working there. like he's blind to the good it's doing him, that structure and routine is good but y'know he's a teenager he doesn't see that.

so it's at most monthly but it's also irregular. I like red being surprised by green sometimes.

OHH i love kalos angstt 🥺🥺🥺 i like red being a hypocrite about it bc he doesn't want green to leave, but he left, so… LMFAO but red actually does tell green he's going to miss him and that he doesn't want him to leave, but green's still going to go. i think this time goes well with them being on better terms. maybe they're friends again or at least in a better place. or maybe they've held hands. idk it's a good time for red to really think about his feelings and the same for green. i like to think they hang out for a time before green leaves.

I like Lance being a father figure to Red, Green, Gold, Silver, Lyra, and Kris. I like him being like "where are these kids parents" and just helping them with the pokemon side. I think he's a nice guy to confide in and give guidance. I love him talking with green regularly while he's running the gym, and green, for once, having a good father figure to open up to, even if he's a snarky teenager about it.

lance getting onto red about him leaving and upsetting his mom. lance helping gold with all his championship duties. lance helping lyra and kirs with their duties…i think i like kris going to study or being a pokemon researcher and lyra working with a daycare idk…or a sanctuary.

but yes, lance is always there for these kids. and they tease him a lot. they call him old man and stuff in an endearing way. out of love 💕

Just when things started getting good. Just when i was getting ready to really do something. Just when this whole life thing started actually feeling good and enjoyable. Everything flipped on my head. All of it. I have no idea what’s going on. Everyone’s telling me to handle the situation in different ways and everyone’s telling me im doing it all wrong. I need to quit being negative but I’m trying my absolute fucking hardest to do that. It’s just never enough. All the things i deal with daily. Weekly. Biweekly. Monthly. Yearly. It doesn’t stop. Back to back to back it’s problem after problem. I’m always 8 steps behind. I have nothing of value to my name. I have nothing but bad credit if any at all. I have va benefits i cant and havnt been able to claim for years regardless of needing it the entire time. I do nothing but fall in holes over and over and over again. Constantly crawling out and begging for mercy. But it just doesn’t fucking matter. It’s not enough. Everything i do is never enough for anyone. And maybe they’re all right.

[fyreflys]

ALSO ALSO ALSO I READ YOUR CARRD THINGIE AND PLSPLSPLS BRING BACK THE WEEKLY MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS OR IF ITS TOO MUCH MAYBE MONTHLY OR BIWEEKLY?? ID LOVE TO LISTEN TO THEM!!

-🐀

Omg you read my CARRD thank you. I prefer people do that (at least read my front page-the rest is just my nonsense) but I know a lot of people just don’t care & won’t do it always surprises me when someone mentions something.

ANYWAYS- I do kind of miss doing the weekly song recs so maybe I’ll start back up on them :D

[the-mortifying-ordeal-of]

Are you there, recovery? It's me, relapse.

Welp. Got my ass back in AlAnon. Really, if I'm being fair to myself, I never left recovery. Basically since February of 2016, I'm been clawing and scraping my way to a healthier life.

February 2016: Joined AlAnon, attended 1-4 times weekly for 14 months. November 2016: Started weekly, then biweekly, then monthly therapy for 3.5 years. April 2017: Quit AlAnon (still deeply in therapy) February 2020: Went back into AlAnon, attended for a few months, then Zoom AlAnon died out. April 2020: "Graduated" from therapy (knew I needed a female therapist to work on sex trauma) and Zoom therapy sucked. May 2020: Started meditating ~sometimes, still going! August 2021: Tried AlAnon in new city, only attended a few meetings. September 2021: Started 200 hour yoga teacher training, finished in February. January 2022: Started biweekly therapy with sex trauma therapist, still going strong. June 2022: One-month sabbatical from my partner. November 2022: Back in 3rd city AlAnon, 2-4 times weekly, now living with my mother (temporarily?)

Meanwhile I've read a kajillion books and articles, listened to so many podcasts, attended numerous trainings, and have had a million conversations with people in an effort to deepen my authenticity and connections. I really am healing. I went back on my primary blog to see if I wrote about why I quit and gee whiz did my attitude suck. My attitude sucks now but not nearly as bad.

But ok, yeah, so here I am journaling. Because I don't want to do therapy AT my relationships, my actual therapist can only do so much (especially if I spend the whole session just regurgitating stuff to feel Heard when I could process here), and I have a lot to work through. I know that writing does a lot of good for memory and behavioral activation, especially after I flood myself with new information. I need to synthesize, process, rehearse, plan, set goals, and check in on myself.

It turns out I'm still deeply codependent with my partner, I rarely experience confidence, I experience deep shame most of the time that I open my mouth, I take personal responsibility for how people feel about me and around me, and if I'm being honest, I have flippant suicidal thoughts a little too often. I quickly spiral into despair, overwhelm, and hopelessness. It's possible the reasons I feel so terrible after dancing, talking, drinking, sharing, or having sex is because most of those are spontaneous, vulnerable expressions of myself and I feel like I am gross, bad, and wrong at my core. I only feel "confident" when I followed rules or a script well.

Financially I would like to stay with my mom a while longer, or maybe move in with my BFF, but I have a savings account and this might be a season of my life that requires drawing on it. Even though I have spent so much on teacher training, my master's certificate that I never finished, and my car might die soon. I want to hoard my safety net. My breathing gets tight when I think about money and the future.

However, I know I need to live alone. I'd like to find a nice little studio or one-bedroom here in my family's town, but I might go live in the big city with my other BFF if she separates from her partner, too. I need to figure out how much it'll cost to break the lease in our current place in Nowhere. God money stresses me out. This wasn't supposed to be a planning post but clearly I'm preoccupied.

I have a racial justice meeting in 30 minutes that I want to want to do, but I mostly want to flake. It asks a lot of me and exposes vulnerabilities and that's why I should lean in and grow through them, do my exposure therapy, but oooh the temptation of cancelling plans.. I know I usually feel better when I do things. God but I was up at 3:30am for work.. but also be the change you want to see in the world (and yourself) and I wanna be the kind of person who shows up. But boundaries! But sometimes self care is doing the hard thing...

I dunno man. I'm scared. I feel small and bad and overwhelmed and a little alienated. I have fabulous people in my life, I do. I have so much ego to dissolve, though. I also wanna explore at some point if my gratitude and encouragement practices are actually fawning or attachment/unhelpful ego reflections, versus actual non-violent communication offerings.

I'd like to write here at least weekly, maybe to discuss what I learn in therapy, in AlAnon, or do some structured journal prompts from all the things I've learned. I'd like an AlAnon sponsor once I know where I'll be. I'd like to read my daily literature at least every-other day, and meditate most days. I liked going to my mom's exercise class, she has a WiiFit, I always love going to my friends' in-person yoga classes, tis the season for indoor YouTube yoga too, and there's a walking track here I can use. I also found out I love hiking int he cold, as long as I'm dressed appropriately. I'm so grateful my car is still going - it's an anchor in a period that feels like homelishness.

I am good, I think. I do think I belong here, probably. Affirmations don't feel right and I'm very confused but I'm gonna keep trying and showing up. Ugh and I'll probably do that racial justice thing tonight too. It's about faith, so that'll be neat.

Future Me, I hope I'm doing ok. I hope you're doing ok. I'm sorry for my imperfections; please love me, understand me, forgive me. I'm trying to get there, but I'm also trying to enjoy here. We've been so cruel to Past Me and I want us all to be good, be ok, be whole. Be safe, be happy, be healthy, live with ease - you know? Thank you for looking out for me. We can do this, because others have and others will, and we belong with them. We belong. Everything is fine. All of it was good, right?

Why using a weekly house cleaning service is better to you

You could have been considering hiring a cleaning service for some time. Maybe some cleaning services come in and assist you with cleaning once a month. But have you thought of using a weekly housekeeping service? Imagine yourself coming home to a magically clean house every Monday morning. There are numerous benefits for you and your family from having a professional deep-clean your home once a week. Let's look at some reasons why you ought to think about adopting a weekly or biweekly cleaning routine.

It's a new beginning each week.

There is nothing better than entering a spotless, apple-pie-ordered home with visible vacuum traces on the carpet and the scent of cleaning supplies filling the air. It's a splendid way to start each week fresh and maintain a spotless home all week long.

No need to worry about cleaning supplies

Best cleaning services brings their own effective cleaning supplies when they come in for a weekly or biweekly cleaning and help you save money.

It’s a better bargain than monthly cleaning

In general, weekly home cleaning is more cost-effective than monthly cleaning services. Cleaning costs will be significantly higher if they are incurred often or just once. The price is by far better for weekly house cleanings.

Hire CleanStar, one of the best cleaning services Toronto for your weekly or biweekly cleaning, so that you can spend more time doing the things you enjoy and that make you cheery.

How often should you mow your lawn? 5 Tips

Mowing your lawn is one of the most important things you can do for your yard. It’s also one of the most overlooked chores in terms of maintaining the aesthetics and overall health of your lawn. But if you want to keep your lawn looking healthy and green, then mowing it on a regular basis is key. Here are five tips for how often you should mow:

Always mow when your grass is dry.

When it comes to mowing, the best time is when your grass is dry. If you take a look at any lawn in Adelaide, you’ll notice that most people don’t mow their lawns until late June or early July. Why? Because wet grass is more difficult to cut and will tend to get damaged more easily if you try to cut it with a blade.

If possible, wait until after the first few weeks of summer before starting on your lawn—the days are longer then and there’s less need for irrigation systems (which can also damage plants).

Never mow when the temperature is above 30 degrees.

Mowing in hot weather is not a good idea.

Your lawn will dry out, which can be damaging to the plant’s health and appearance.

The grass will die, brown or become patchy as you mow through it with your mower.

If you’re using a gas-powered trimmer or blower, it can cause damage to the blades if used when they’re too hot (over 90 degrees).

Wait for it – the grass to grow.

The second tip is to wait for your lawn to grow. Grass grows faster in spring and summer, but it also grows slower during winter and cooler weather. In warm weather, your grass will grow more quickly than in cold or rainy conditions.

The third tip is that you should mow your lawn at the right time of year: when the grass needs cutting! This means that if you’re thinking about doing some spring maintenance on your lawn this year (or even after), then now would be a good time since most people think they need their lawns cut every week or two depending on how long they want them cut at once (and whether or not they have pets).

Mow regularly, but not too often.

Mowing too often can stress the grass, which can cause it to grow unevenly and look unhealthy. In addition, mowing too infrequently can lead to weeds growing in your lawn.

So what’s the best frequency for mowing? If you want your grass to stay healthy and lush, go for a weekly cut. If you’re more concerned about keeping an eye on those pesky weeds (or just enjoy getting up close and personal with nature), try biweekly or monthly cuts instead!

The ideal blade height for mowing your lawn

The ideal blade height for mowing your lawn is 2.5-3.5cm, but this will vary depending on the type of grass you have and when it was last mowed.

For example: If your lawn has been treated with a pesticide, then it will need more frequent cutting than if not treated with chemicals or fertilizers; likewise if there are weeds present on your lawn (which can be caused by overuse) then they should also be removed regularly so that they do not grow too thickly in areas where they would otherwise take over completely and ruin your good looking patchwork design!

The best way to find out what’s right for YOU is by getting into some form of routine—like having someone come round every month or two who knows how much work goes into maintaining such an area—and seeing how much time/effort goes into maintaining theirs so that eventually everything gets done in one go without needing any extra help from friends outside our circle who maybe don’t even live close enough yet!

Mowing your lawn on a regular basis will ensure it’s always looking in tip-top shape with less effort from you.

Mowing your lawn on a regular basis will ensure it’s always looking in tip-top shape with less effort from you. Regularly mowing your lawn means that weeds don’t have time to grow and spread, disease doesn’t have time to develop, insect damage has been minimized, and dry patches are kept at bay. You might think that a clipped yard is the way to go if you want an immaculate lawn—but the truth is that this method can lead to more problems than it fixes!

With regular mowing, weeding becomes less of a burden than it would be otherwise. Plus, by cutting off any dead grass after each pass over your lawn (which happens when grass gets too long), weeding becomes easier because there aren’t as many places for dirt build up or debris from walking through tall blades (or worse yet—a person). This also makes maintenance easier on both sides: You won’t need as much fertilizer when cutting down on invasive plants like dandelions; fertilizing just once per year instead of every two weeks means less work overall!

Conclusion

I hope this article will help you to decide when to mow your lawn, and also how often. Remember, the best approach is to follow these tips and do what works best for your yard.

hmm .. well i suppose if i Do hafta wait ages for the next loz game i could ? finally ? write a fic ? itd still take forever to get it all done tho i have piss poor time management fuckin one chapter per month n its a 20 chapter fic

so i know there’s a bunch of creator shoutouts out there but i don’t think i’ve seen a bellarke/the 100 centered one? i know all us content creators are aware that notes and reception took a huge hit post-show, and i think it’d be a nice way to show our creators that we are still here and we do still appreciate all they do! plus, it could maybe be a way to get more notes/kudos/comments. i’d be happy to include everything too: gifs, manips, moodboards, fics (long and short, ao3 and tumblr), traditional & digital art, videos, basically anything!

what do y’all think? is it something the community would like to see? should it be bellarke-centered or the 100 as a whole? (if i made it t100 it would obviously be open to all ships/characters and i don’t want to see any hate! fandom hate is so last decade y’all! only love and support here!) monthly? weekly? biweekly? please let me know if you like this idea, much love to all our creators and supporters 💛

fiduciary concerns

Have not made a special post about it because am still processing it myself / seems like it’s not my story to tell, but maybe Allison is moving out to her own apartment, which obviously engenders a lot of feelings, both positive (mostly excitement and happiness; both for her and at the prospect of getting to live with just my bf because that does sound kind of great) and less positive (mostly sadness; it’s the end of an era).

This also means, though, that we split rent, utilities, and internet two ways instead of three, and I don’t think there will be much of a nominal decrease on utilities from reducing occupancy from three to two. So altogether, this means I am looking at an increased CoL of about $800-1000/month, as I will be bearing the brunt of it until Shane returns to FT employment.

After thinking about it, I think I can accommodate that by doing the following things:

eliminating steak and alcohol from the food budget

canceling GrubHub+ and eliminating the use of GrubHub entirely, and instead ordering takeout via local pick up once weekly to local restaurants that are low-cost

reducing my brokerage account contributions

reducing fish tank service from biweekly to monthly

I sold off an ETF that imo has too much exposure to Tesla and am using that to pay off my CC debt. My bonus, when it arrives, will be used to pay whatever I owe in taxes this year and the remainder will be put in emergency savings, as my “six months of living expenses” cushion has to get correspondingly bigger.

While I realize that I will still live pretty dang well, I can’t say I’m thrilled about any of these cut-backs.
