So I’m in my 30s and I have moved in with a partner and it’s hard (!!!) to express this about downsizing our things to fit our space while also being like, do I want that accent pillow? Because it feels WEIRD to have the financial security for little things and try to upgrade things slowly with a partner and prioritize which of those things need those upgrades and which we are fine with.
This is also true because we are planning a wedding and trying to figure out categories of 1) could this be a things that would be nice to have other people buy us v. 2) do we really need this at all v. 3) this is an immediate buy item we need NOW and should buy ourselves prior to registry is even harder when it’s a team decision.
Anyways this came up because partner and I also have ancient thin forks (2 sets-we each bright a cat and a set of forks to the relationship) and we are struggling with the same things as OP a but especially as the country I live in (US) seems to be rapidly de-stabilizing and we keep discussing when to flee. It’s hard to know what you want your forever fork to be, and knowing that no matter what you will not be able to predict what the world will hold, and yet today you still need to figure out whose forks are going to goodwill and whether you deserve nice forks.
I hope OP knows that 30 year olds are going through these silly things together. It’s such a privilege to be here, annoyed by such things, especially when most of us graduated during a financial crisis and had unpaid internships when we bought our first forks. Also I love how @elodieunderglass explains it here, so much is internal changes.
I'm turning 30 this month, and for some reason have become suddenly interested in material possessions. like what if,,,,,,,,my couch was nice. what if my sheets were nice. is this what happens to you??

I started my first real job this week! I returned to the company where I did my internship last year (mandatory for my university programme), but I'm a proper employee now. Since I was already familiar with the environment, settling in went fairly smooth, and although a few things are different now (ie as an intern I was never required to join meetings), I quickly got back into the loop. I do web development stuff :)
I remember now how time consuming and exhausting a full time job is though🫠🫠🫠 I still need to adjust to the new routine so if I'm being more absent that's probably why. I'm really glad it's finally weekend and I can rest a bit now😭

when someone is struggling financially and still pays for a ton of different streaming services because they refuse to pirate anything it lowkey drives me insane. i canceled both spotify premium and disney+ recently and i do not miss them at all because i can still easily get everything that was on them without paying a combined total of $45 a month.

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)
but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood
#really though it is time to upgrade#and i hate to say it because she /runs/ fine it's all hardware issues w parts that can absolutely be replaced#but if i can't use it to run the programs i need then shelling out the money for those parts would ultimately be a waste#but also the fact that this machine that runs fine is no longer worth fixing bc some google-based bullshit just won't support win8.1 anymor#is ALSO a fucking waste & a pile of planned obsolescence bullshit! and i hate it!#but uh. even though she runs fine and she totally does. she does need. uh.#new keyboard (only 1/3 of keys work; currently use usb keyboard)#new trackpad ribbon cable (trackpad does not currently work; using external usb mouse)#new power button and connecting ribbon cable (turning it on involves opening it up and causing an intentional short-circuit every time.)#(a problem largely solved by simply never turning her completely off- except she also needs)#a new battery (current battery does not charge at all; machine needs to be constantly plugged in or it shuts down immediately)#...ok i might be the 'this is fine' dog about this#but i am still upset! that i will no longer have a disc drive inside my damn laptop.#that's the disc drive's natural habitat; that's where it should be; it's weird and offputting to have it connected via usb!#ack. why do tech companies fuck everything up.#and that's without getting into the way new devices offer less harddrive space so people will use the fucking cloud or whatever???#yeah sorry no i'm not using your goddamn data mining corporate off-site storage i want to keep my shit on my own goddamn machine#go to actual hell if you're trying to sell me a pc with less than at least 500GB of storage i swear to fuck#...in essence you could say the whole process is leaving me rather grumpy

i got back into totk and although i firmly stand by my 'it could've been better' thta most definitely doesn't make it a boring game
#i was planning to fight ganon bc i've had the final showdown quest unlocked for a while now but have not touched it#but i wanted to fight the king gleeok first so i went to go that except i got lost and realized how little battery thingies i actually hv#so i was like 'that won't do!' and went to go get mine zonaite#and one thing led to another and suddenly it's 3 in the morning and i STILL haven't fought ganon#you can get so easily side tracked in totk it's just a lot of fun#after fighting the king gleeok + malice sand boss in depths i realized i very badly needed weaposn bc everything i had was breaking at that#point 😭#i spent an entire hour looking for a gerudo scimitar for urbosas sword. at least 15 of those minutes i was running around with the sensor l#oking for it before realizing that it beeps on npcs with it#and then i just fawking gave up#then i went to rito village to try & get revalis bow but couldn't find a swallow bow so i quickly gave up after learning my lesson with th#scimitar and just wandered around the outskirts before finding some sky islands i hadn't vitsited yet above the village ^^#& then i think i fought the lynels for majoras mask which got me a shit ton of stuff#<- but it was also a pain in the ass bc i literally forgot to fuse shit together prior to entering & so i was scrambling to fuse things#together inbetween lynel fights 😭#i ended up beating them but i had like 4 hearts bc everything else was gloomified bc my dumbass also always forgets to cook up#gloom repelling food#<- plus i am also trying to save my sundelions to upgrade the champions tunic#hv i told u guys that i drew the master sword & then realized I didn't hv a tracker on zelda anymore so i couldn't just find her whenever i#needed materials from her so i went back to my save before i got the sword so i could keep tracking her lol#i then put off pulling the sword forever . i hv it now but it took me a while

Jimena! Amanda! Are you OK? Yes, we're OK. And it's thanks to you.
#entrevías#wrong side of the tracks#jimena abantos#amanda martos#shitty screencap posts (TM)#did I really just make a whole ass post just to write a tag essay about this moment and how I think that inadvertently or not#it explains perfectly the way both of them acted in season 3?? maybe?? you don't know my life!!!!#I just think it's fascinating how different their demeanours are in this moment#jimena's like 'we're ok THANKS to you!' all hearteyes and thrilled to see amanda despite the circumstances#but amanda looks so dejected and guilt-ridden almost as if she's thinking 'no you're in that state BECAUSE of me'#I wonder if on some level the reason why she 'sacrificed herself' and gunned down salgado before tirso had the chance to do it himself#was bc she felt that he didn't deserve to go to jail and wreck his family but she did bc jimena and irene almost got killed bc of her#and then that spills over into s3 bc if amanda believed she deserved to go down for killing salgado and that was partly why she did it#then it makes sense that she would push jimena away and tell her over and over again to forget about her and move on#she was gonna heroically accept her fate and she probably didn't want to 'string jimena along' in what she thought was a doomed r'ship#given how heartbreakingly optimistic jimena was#(and to be fair amanda was right I mean her case was a slam dunk#literally the only reason she was acquitted was bc her bestie and her girlfriend committed obstruction of justice kdfhskfh)#and it was probably also a way to ease her own guilt about seeing jimena suffer while amanda was in jail#bc hey she told jimena to move on with her life now if she didn't listen and continued holding on to false hope that's on her not on amanda#and on jimena's side this is the most in love we see her with amanda in season 2 (before she upgraded to nuclear-level hearteyes in s3)#given that she heard the entire conversation where amanda has to destroy the evidence she has against salgado to save jimena#I'm headcanoning that that was what clinched it for her in terms of amanda being 'the one'#so fast-forward to season 3 and she's paying for amanda's lawyer and dutifully visiting her in prison aggressively keeping hope alive#like OFC she wasn't going to give up on her she was all in the moment amanda set the target of her years-long manhunt free just to save her#ugh... delishusss#I mean obviously I don't believe the writers really put that much thought into it since s3 was a bit of a mess storywise#but I kind of like how it all fits seamlessly somehow and concatenates from one season to the other even if it wasn't planned

Cancellation fees are some of the hardest bullshit imaginable. "Hey if our service sucks, fuck you pay us more to stop giving you a shitty service"
Unethical business practices only work because I'm not allowed to burn down your offices if you fuck me over. they won't fucking let me

bought re4r gold edition for steam recently since its on sale and i figured since the app store ver of re4r is compatible w/ my device & i have a software that lets me run windows files on my mac then it should be fine. had a bunch of problems with installing it (kept telling me i didn't have the space even though i DID) so i gave up, then i went to install another game and gave re4r one more shot 4 shits & giggles and it actually started downloading so i was hyped. finally finished after several hours, i go to run it, my gpu isn't good enough. brooooo im rlly gonna do it this time
#it's soo annoying#i get it the app store version is probably modified so it isn't as intensive or whatever#but ughhh that's so annoying#i rlly thought i'd be able to play 😔#i mean i can. i have it on ps5. but i wanna play on da puterrrrrrr#guess i'll have to go w/ plan b (get a job and then play it in. like. a few months or so when i've saved enough to buy a pc)#i want to build my own pc since it seems like the smartest option#in the past a laptop has always been more than enough bc i've never been into these super gpu intensive games. from like big studios#granted that was partially bc i kind of couldnt be since i've always had a pretty weak laptop#but still i was mostly into games a la stardew valley & minecraft & others#but now i'm getting into the re series esp the remakes plus i want to play games like silent hill f and dbd and shit#stuff that i'd like to legitimately buy too in order to keep track of my saves/achievements more easily#and my laptop just isn't gonna be able to handle those. i mean it's good but it's a fuckin macbook man#and like shit like silent hill f isn't even gonna be out for idk how long#what im trying 2 say is that my gaming future looks bright and i don't think a gaming laptop would be enough#i'd rather something more expensive at first but overall cheaper in the long run so i have the option of upgrading it if i find games i wan#to play but my current device can't handle. instead of having to throw my hands up in the air and be like well i can't so that's that#mecore#re4r

YOoOOOOO one of the travelling snails laid eggs!?!?
I know a lotta people don't like snails but tbh I don't really care? I got a free little colony of snails and they're super tiny? (Pond or bladder I'm not really sure) and they have actually been pretty fun to watch when the corys are being shy

been checking off all the stuff I've gotten everything of in elden ring so far (nothing crazy just cookbooks, crystal tears, deathroot, paintings/artists spirit, dragon hearts and the tools like crafting pots etc and I've done all npc questlines I can in this run + gotten all the bell bearings that carry over to ng+ 👍) and I was looking at the lists for great gloveworts + ancient dragon stones and I have most of them already so I was feeling pretty good.. and then I counted how many distinct weapons I have so far (166) and searched up how many are in the game..... WHAT DO YOU MEAAAAN 308????
#i feel like ive wielded every kind of weapon ever imagined. how are there TWICE AS MANY AS THAT!!!!!!#a lot of them will probably take some grinding to get... weighing up how committed i am to getting them all#well i probably will. but i WONT be grinding enough playthroughs to upgrade them all to max im not that insane#but ill upgrade them *almost* to max.... theres no limit on regular smithing/somber stones cuz u can just buy them#but theres only 13 ancient dragon and 8 somber ancient dragon stones so u literallt have to beat the ENTIRE game again if u want more#and the max ill get is what. 39 and 24 bc im only planning on doing 3 runs (one for each ending)#and im NOT getting duplicates of everything so i can duel wield them all im a two handed wield guy so i only ever use one at a time#+50% extra damage for every hit r u kidding me im not abandoning that... there are some fights ive used a shield for so i can parry tho#anyway. at least i have a decent amt of the talismans... i think im gonna go for all the rest of those next#and then stonesword keys + locations + ill unlock every site of grace on the map so i have full freedom to get everything else#well all the ones i can at least.. if i missed any in leyndell capital theyre probably inaccessible now bc I burned it down LOL#just so much shit in this game it keeps blowing my mind fr#anyway i reaaaally need to sleep im so tired.. dont wanna go to work tomorrow aoughghh#itll be fine tho i just have one thing all day 👍 and ill feel motivated bc my meds will be working by the time i get there#its kind of nice in a way bc i refuse to think abt my work outside of work hours. shooting that thought down immediately#like when i get the bus im just thinking abt getting the bus. and when im there i have my checklist and if i focus on that it goes by#esp w meds. and then i go home and it doesnt exist for the rest of the day bc i have no sense of past of future <3#sometimes its kind of nice having a very Present mind like the here and now is all there is. its why im so good at mindfulness shit#i would make a great buddhist ANYWAYYYYYY GOODNIGJT!!!!#.diaries

⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ The “Current Boyfriend” prank on Jinu⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
———————————
Rehearsal had just ended, and the studio air was thick with leftover energy and heat. The mirrors were fogged, the sound system still humming with static, and Jinu—sweaty, flushed, and stunning—was casually sipping water near the doorway.
You pulled out your phone, pretending to check something. Really, you were framing the shot.
He looked over, brows raised. “Filming?”
You smiled. “Just something quick for the fans. Come here.”
He didn’t hesitate—just walked over, still catching his breath from that final run-through, his dark shirt clinging to his back. When he stood beside you, he leaned in slightly, effortlessly falling into idol mode: half-smile, perfect angle, soft gaze.
You started recording.
“Hey guys,” you said sweetly to the camera, smiling like it was any other fan update. “Just wanted to check in, rehearsal’s over—everyone’s tired, sweaty, gorgeous.”
You turned the camera slightly, panning over to Jinu.
“I’m here with my current boyfriend!”
You kept going like it was nothing, turning the camera back to yourself. “Anyway, we’re probably gonna grab food and chill for a bit—”
Behind you, Jinu tilted his head slightly.
“…What?”
You stopped.
“…What?” you echoed innocently, still filming.
He squinted. “Did you just say current boyfriend?”
You bit back a smile. “Yeah. Like, my boyfriend right now. In this moment.”
His eyes narrowed—not in anger, but in that dangerous, calm way Jinu did when he was calculating whether to flirt with you or mildly destroy your entire soul.
“You’ve had others lined up?”
You laughed, finally breaking. “It’s a trend! I was joking!”
He took the phone gently, still in frame, still smiling for the camera like nothing was wrong—but the glint in his eye had shifted.
“You heard her,” he said to the camera. “Apparently, I’m just a placeholder.”
“Jinu—”
He leaned in, eyes never leaving the lens.
“Just so everyone’s clear, I’m not going anywhere. So if I’m the ‘current,’ I plan on being the permanent upgrade.”
He stopped recording.
You stared at him.
“Babe, it was a trend—”
He handed your phone back with a knowing smile. “Post it.”
“…You’re not mad?”
“No,” he said smoothly, grabbing his bag. “But you’re paying for dinner.”
————————————————
@ sajaboysimps: “Current boyfriend” and he paused like a villain origin story. 😭😭😭
@ jinusjawline: She: “I’m with my current boyfriend!” Jinu: 🧍‍♂️❓
@ idolatemyheart: When he said “permanent upgrade” I blacked out.
@ softlaunchgonewrong: The way she kept talking like he wasn’t recalculating the entire relationship 💀💀💀
@ kpopdemonkween: Jinu really said “I’m calm but I will become your husband if you keep playing.” 💍🕶️

⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ The “i forgot our anniversary ” prank on Baby⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
You had one goal: crack Baby’s fake-cool exterior.
The date was circled on your calendar in pink highlighter and glittery hearts — today marked your six months together. A fact you hadn’t forgotten. Not even close. You had the gift hidden, dinner planned, and a playlist queued.
But he didn’t know that.
So naturally… you decided to mess with him.
You strolled into the practice room like it was any other day, sipping your drink, phone in hand. Baby was lounging in a chair, jacket off, tank top on, towel draped around his neck. Hair tousled. Glistening post-workout glow. Casual heartthrob chaos.
“Hey,” he said, smiling without meaning to — one of those real ones, the rare kind.
“Hey,” you replied, completely flat. You sat beside him, scrolling through your phone. “Long day.”
He blinked. “Uh… yeah. Kinda.”
Silence.
He waited.
You offered him a sip of your drink. No affection. No flirt. No sparkle.
He narrowed his eyes. “You okay?”
“Mmhmm.”
He leaned in slightly. “You sure? You're being weird.”
You shrugged. “I’m fine.”
You saw it hit him — subtle but real. A flicker of confusion in his eyes. He looked away, biting the inside of his cheek like he was trying to solve a math equation with emotions.
Then… his voice dropped, quieter.
“Did I… do something?”
You glanced at him, feigning confusion. “What do you mean?”
He hesitated, then reached into his jacket pocket — pulling out a tiny velvet box.
Your breath caught. Wait what.
He opened it slowly: a simple silver ring on a thin chain.
“I know we said we weren’t doing anything big for the six-month thing,” he said, eyes still down, “but I just… I saw this and thought of you. You like little things that feel permanent.”
Your mouth parted, guilt instantly slamming you in the chest.
He looked up. “Unless… you didn’t remember. Which is fine, seriously. I didn’t expect—"
“Wait, wait, wait—” you cut in, grabbing his hand. “It’s a prank. It was a prank. I remembered. I super remembered.”
His eyes widened. “You what.”
“I was trying to get a reaction out of you,” you admitted, laughing nervously. “You always play it so cool. I thought you’d be smug and say something like, ‘Guess who didn’t forget?’ and then I’d laugh and reveal the real gift and—oh my god you bought me jewelry.”
He stared at you. “You absolute gremlin.”
You reached into your bag and pulled out a box of your own, practically shoving it into his chest. “Here. Yours. Real. Not a prank.”
He opened it to find a silver bracelet, etched with the coordinates of where you first met.
He blinked slowly.
“…You’re disgusting,” he said, voice soft.
“You love it.”
He exhaled hard — then, finally, smiled for real. That wide, boyish grin he tried to hide behind eyeliner and sarcasm. His ears were bright red.
“You seriously had me spiraling,” he muttered, shaking his head.
“Because you’re soft,” you teased.
He shot you a look. “No, I’m cool. I’m smooth. I’m mysterious.”
“You were ten seconds from emotional collapse.”
He leaned closer, bumping his forehead to yours. “And you love that.”
You smiled, lips brushing his. “I really do.”
——————————
⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ The “Tiny Meal” prank on Romance⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
The morning sunlight filtered softly through the paper screens of the dorm room, painting golden lines across the hardwood floor. The air was still, save for the slow, even breaths of Romance beside you—hair mussed from sleep, lashes casting gentle shadows over his cheekbones.
You tiptoed out of the futon with the kind of stealth usually reserved for a trained demon hunter. You had a plan. A dumb, tiny, hilarious plan. But it was your plan, and you knew he’d either love it… or mock you for it for weeks.
You tiptoed into the kitchen, stifling a giggle. On the counter: a thimble-sized teacup. A miniature plate. A fork no bigger than your pinky nail. It had taken you a whole hour to prep these ridiculous little dishes the night before. A tiny egg (quail, of course), a single bite of toast, and a speck of strawberry jam.
All perfectly arranged on the world’s tiniest breakfast tray.
As you walked back into the room balancing the tray, you heard the soft shuffle of sheets. His voice, low and drowsy, called out:
"Mmnh... [Your Name]? Where’d you go…?"
You knelt beside the futon, holding out the tiny tray like a prize. “Good morning, sunshine,” you said, biting back a grin. “I made you breakfast.”
He blinked sleepily, then squinted at the tray. A beat of silence. Then—
“…What the hell is that?” His voice cracked mid-laugh.
You giggled. “Your morning meal, brave hunter. Protein, carbs, love. All in one centimeter.”
He sat up, the blanket falling to his lap, revealing the curve of his collarbone and the sleepy slope of his shoulders. Hair sticking up wildly, he reached out one elegant finger to poke the mini toast.
“This is… is this even edible?”
You nodded solemnly. “I toasted that piece with my own hands. Used tweezers.”
A wide grin broke across his face. That lazy, lopsided one that always made your stomach flip. “You’re unbelievable.”
Then, with exaggerated seriousness, he picked up the miniature fork between his thumb and forefinger, tried to stab the tiny egg—and immediately dropped it back onto the tray.
“I can’t do this. I’m going to starve.”
You smirked, reaching behind you and pulling out a second tray—the real breakfast, full-sized and warm.
He laughed so hard he had to bury his face in your neck. “You’re evil,” he mumbled against your skin, arms wrapping around your waist.
“You love it,” you teased, letting your fingers slide through his hair.
He leaned back to look at you, his eyes still crinkled with laughter but softening into something tender. “I really do.”
And then, with the tiniest fork in hand, he fed you the equally tiny toast piece.
“For love. And carbs,” he whispered dramatically
———————————
⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ The “ignoring my boyfriend” prank on Mystery⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
The moment you stepped into the training room, you could feel his eyes on you.
Mystery was already there, like always — perched casually on the window ledge, his black hoodie draped over his shoulder, sword leaning against the wall behind him. His arms were crossed, expression unreadable. He didn’t speak. He never did first.
Perfect.
You walked right past him without a word.
He watched you. Silent. Still. Barely blinking.
You pulled out your phone, scrolling with exaggerated focus. Inside, you were screaming. You knew he hated being ignored. Not in the way a normal boyfriend might pout or whine — no, Mystery just went quiet. Colder. Like ice packing itself around him.
It was part of why the prank was so fun... and a little dangerous.
He finally moved. Just one step.
“Did I do something?” he asked, voice low and distant, like a fog rolling across a lake.
You didn’t look up. Instead, you texted no one. Blinked blankly at the wall. Bit the inside of your cheek to stop yourself from cracking.
A long pause.
He tilted his head slightly, jaw tight. “...You’re not going to speak to me?”
You didn’t respond. Not even a shrug.
He stared at you for a few seconds longer. Then without a word, he turned and walked out of the room. No sound, no heavy footsteps — just vanished like smoke into the hall.
Your heart dropped.
“Mystery—!” you called after him, breaking character. You chased him down the corridor, nearly stumbling over your own feet.
You found him just outside the practice hall, his back to you, eyes shadowed under his bangs.
“I was joking!” you said breathlessly. “It was a prank. The ‘ignoring my boyfriend’ prank. You weren’t actually—wait, were you mad?”
He turned slowly, expression as calm as ever. But there was something just behind it — not anger, not even hurt, but a kind of distance. The kind that made your chest tighten.
“I wasn’t mad,” he said quietly. “I just figured you wanted space. So I gave it to you.”
Oof.
You stepped closer, reaching for his sleeve. “I didn’t mean to push you away. I just thought it’d be funny. You’re always so… unreadable. I wanted to see if you’d crack.”
His lips twitched — the smallest hint of a smirk. “So you were testing me?”
“Maybe a little.”
He finally turned to face you fully. “You didn’t get much of a reaction.”
“No,” you admitted. “But somehow, that made it worse.”
He stepped into your space, his voice a soft hush. “You want a reaction now?”
You nodded, breath catching.
Without warning, his hand cupped your chin gently, tilting your face toward his. His lips brushed yours, light as falling ash — but the intent behind it was unmistakable. Intense. Possessive in that quiet way only Mystery could pull off.
He pulled back just enough to whisper:
“Don’t ignore me again. I don’t like it.”
You blinked up at him, stunned.
Then he added, deadpan: “But if you do… make sure the next prank includes kissing.”
