#$30k a year

[not-poignant]

oof i just wish i knew the magic secret to 'liveable income' re: writing that didn't involve 'taking everything original offline and making people pay for it outright.'

because like...

i like my way of doing things. but my bank account hates it. :/

#i keep thinking like surely there's a way to just... #expand outwards #somehow #but if it requires a lot more labour i can't do it #so i kind of have to do it with what i'm writing now #or what i've written in the past #$30k a year #which is still a good #$20k below the minimum salary in australia #and is less than what people at mcdonald's get paid #i can't keep doing this #the way i'm doing it #i hate kind of thinking about the business side of things because i'd very much like to ignore it #and i'm glad i can with fanfiction and stuff #but with everything else it's like #what do i doooooo #i'm sure $30k (AUD) sounds like a lot to some people #but it's actually *not* a liveable income #there's no rent in australia you could afford with that much #and i should be aiming much higher but right now even $30k will take me #5 years to reach with the growth i'm experiencing #actually maybe 10 years :/

tease tuesday + wip wednesday 🕊

(i'm smashing these 2 days together because i like to break the rules)

anyway have a lil bit of hoa eddie, uh, getting a hard dick for buck before dinner with his Nemesis

“You’re staring at me.” Buck shuffles forward, a few steps away from Eddie; he smells like mint and vanilla because he used Eddie’s shampoo like he always does and roses, too, that expensive cologne he pays half an arm for.  “I am.”  “Do I look bad?”  No. Not at all. He’s wearing tight black jeans that hug the length of his long, thick legs in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination and a black knit sweater that has his biceps bulging and his tummy poking through and it’s obscene because he’s so goddamn thick that even normal clothes look small on him.  Buck looks all different kinds of great and Eddie doesn’t know what to do with that or the tickle in his chest, the heavy heat in his gut. The gold chain with the little sunshine at the bottom sits pretty between his tits, a present Chris got him last year for Christmas that’s a fucking gift right now for Eddie. Christ.   He blinks. “No,” he says, maybe a little too fast, but he can’t be blamed. Especially not when Buck looks as gorgeous as he does, in front of Eddie and in his bedroom with a door that locks. “You look pretty. That color is nice on you.”  “It’s black.”  “Okay?” Eddie bristles. The tips of his ears burn. “It looks good.”  Buck fingers the hem of his sweater. “Thanks,” he says, whisper-soft and ruddy-cheeked like he’s embarrassed or something, before looking up and giving Eddie a dazzling smile. “You, uh, look good, too.”  And Eddie does. He’s wearing his best pair of blue jeans and a dark green sweater he found in the back of his closet that he knows looks good on him because Marisol couldn’t keep her hands off when he wore it, but he has nothing on Buck. Nothing at all.  “Buck—” “I need—” Christopher barges in the room, knocking the door against the wall like he pays the bills. “You guys take so long.”

#let me get mushy real fast and say these games really hold me accountable for actually working on shit instead of just #letting it rot in the wip folder #because this fic is nearly 30k and it's only halfway through #and i'm BEGGING my brain to get it finished before the new year my fucking god #and i'm excited to share the WHOLE thing with yall and not just these out of pocket snippets because #eddie is on some other type of level in this and he just gets better every fuckin second i swear #anyway! #i will be back later #am going to take a small nap because i didn't go to bed until 5:30 and wound up waking up at 8:30? what a bitch #tag games

What Resembles The Grave

(link here)

Then the assassin says, "I don't know where to go from here." At first Corvo thinks one of the Whalers must have snuck into the room, that maybe this is a coded message, that that's why it makes so little sense—but no. It's just him, and the assassin on his knees. "I don't know how to change this," he adds. It sounds as drained as Corvo feels. "I've tried... everything I could think of. Nothing worked. This is how it always ends."

i've cursed them with a time loop :)

time folded in over itself! two people folding in around each other! the ravages of grief and memory! the chase! the escape! the inevitable return!

also featuring: the miracle of growing old, one (1) very good dog of no consequence, and a little bit of colonialism

Tomorrow is the day I should be completely out of credit card & medical debt 🥹

#if not this week then next week #but it looks like this week #the car should be paid off in the next few months as well #last year fucked me up financially #like so bad #over 13k of unexpected expenses in 3 months #it’s hard pulling that out of your ass while the cost of bills goes up #we were already in debt before that due to other stuff and living somewhere we couldn’t afford #I’ve paid off roughly 25-30k between credit card and medical #personal #text

‘I died down there,’ Angron said bitterly, drawing the radiant Emperor into his fiery gaze. ‘With my brothers and sisters, freezing, starving and free. Emperor or no, creator or no, all you will ever get of me is a shell, the ghost of Angron, who never left Nuceria.’

The Emperor looked back at him, expressionless and aloof. Angron felt static crawl over his skin, and the reek of ozone flood his nose.

+Then a ghost will have to suffice.+

Hii! I was super bored last night so I did a quick drawing of the meditation scene in chapter 14. I was struggling at drawing Zuko cause of the way he sits. He’s described as sitting “lotus position” I looked that up and it looks so uncomfortable. That’s why I’m team #CrissCrossApplesause. Anyways I hope your doing well!! :)

AWWWWWE OMG I LOVVVEEEEE IT!!!! Haha Aang & Momo in the second picture are adorable, and Sokka’s little “I love you” face at Zuko is amazing. Thank you for this it seriously is made my day!!

My 5'3 ass and Konrad Curze or Sevatar I don't know if they have heights

as far as I can find they do not have confirmed heights (and if they do they're probably WILDLY inconsistent) so I put Konrad at 9'10 (299 cm) (probably around 9' when he slouches) and Sevatar at 8'2" (248 cm)

i think if you make a big show of leaving a humongous life changing tip for overworked underpaid servers and then it’s fucking fake movie money you deserve to be taken out into the street and shot

#someone left my gf and her team fucking $30k in goddamn fake film cash #i hope he chokes on his lunch today and dies that shit isn’t funny it’s toying with ppl who have been hanging on by a thread for years #personal
