#really in need of money for college

[sergle]

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.

was gonna make a little "if you enjoy my glitter & blinkies, send me a tip for my bday" post ...

but also the relative who'd agreed to help me with rent & college costs backed out because she doesn't want me to transition. AND my delivery of groceries & cleaning supplies was just stolen 😮‍💨 so help is super extra appreciated rn. I'm having dismally bad luck job hunting.

kofi or throne (you can send stuff directly to me through this + it has a wishlist. Brita filter & food are most important!)

venmo is Grubcore

i like the freedom that comes with having money but it requires having a normal job. but having a normal 9-5 job makes me want to die. and it doesn't matter if it's from the office or wfh. i only feel like an alive person when im actually doing the things i want to do (directing) but since i am new to this whole thing it will not pay me anything for a while. so trying to do what i love requires me to be financially dependent on people. being dependent on other people like this Also makes me want to die. why is it like this has anyone noticed this is a bad system helloooo

Hello! I don't know if I'll get any interest but I am a little desperate so it can't hurt to try, right? I really need some money for my car payment (yay rural America) and paying towards my wisdom teeth removal, but I don't start back up at work until the end of February.

As of right now I can only take paypal and I guess tumblr??; if you're interested feel free to email me at lferg92 at gmail.com, or send me a message here!

You can see more examples of my art here.

Even if you can't help, signal boosting would be very appreciated!!

Since when did we start charging money on patreon for fanfics 😭😭😭😭 is this for real😭

hi, love. I haven't seen that many people doing the Patreon thing when it comes to fanfic, but it's pretty common for people who draw for example to set up a Patreon. I believe that everyone who does, just like myself, needs the money. I wouldn't be doing it if i didn't need to. I figured the Patreon setup was the best idea since it's not really that common for people to tip writers, we've been struggling with getting reblogs and comments, so you can imagine.

Right now, I'm applying and doing tests to get an internship, which still won't be enough because I'm also trying to apply for a master's. So, yeah, I'm really thankful for everyone who tipped me on ko-fi and subscribed to my Patreon, last month my savings were over, and the Patreon money was what helped me pay for some medical stuff I needed (Idk if you saw the whole mick schumacher's sick club, but yeah — huge thank you for everyone who subscribed/donated btw).

We often see fic writers as little robots who don't eat, drink, or sleep. We request stuff, and expect an instant reply, and when we get the content we don't even go back to the page to tell the writer our thoughts. We don't reblog, nor leave comments, but still, we expect them to keep writing and keep sharing everything as if it didn't take hours, sometimes days to come up with a 1k piece polished to what we think readers will like best. I hope I don't sound rude, I'm just trying to make a point because I'm tired of seeing writers deactivating, tired of seeing my friends getting writer's block and then people still demanding things.

On top of that, I'm still posting a lot here, from smau to blubs and long fic requests (and I won't even talk about how some pieces aren't even getting a hundred notes, which always makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong, if my writing is bad, or if there's anything that I could do to make the reader's experience more enjoyable), and it takes a lot of time, it's even harder to balance the two profiles now, but still, I keep sharing some of my work for free. so please, please, don't make me feel bad about needing money. thanks ❤️.

Trying to catch up on some of my saved art on my phone that I haven’t posted yet. I’m not gonna tag this one even tho I know Royce has seen these already because I’m just. I’m just sheepish.

A few attempts to draw Liam and pals from the college days, to trying to draw Lee a little more on model, to being self indulgent and making my self insert from May I Take Your Order a human friend for him, because it’s nice to have one human who actually knows how weird your situation is and is in a similar power level as you, and gets it.

I’m a cheeseball and I always have been one.

Soooo who's gonna make the drive with all of the Puppet history seasons? Cause we need to start thinking about archiving all of the Watcher content.

We have seen this before with Rooster Teeth, a paywall to very especific content that is usually supported mostly by broke college students is not a sustainable plataform, and I don't know if they'll be able to survive for that long

[gwensy]

desperately need to start studying for my ged on a completely unrelated note i have never been more productive in literally every other area of my life

[cesium-sheep]

aaaaaaa okey I ordered the speaker and the star projector. (and a beauty blender and a neck support and the new volume of yona and the garbage disposal cleaner matt wanted.) it was still only $35 actually out of pocket and I get my allowance in the morning which will completely replace that amount. I will definitely like the speaker and if I don't like the star projector arin will.

im gay for you

:o no way i’m also gay for u <3

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.

The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.

It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.

Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!

Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.

Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.

They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!

I KNOW this is the opposite of the emotions it's supposed to elicit but Eraserhead is such a babyfever inducing movie to me
