[rosicheeks]

random but what app do you use to receive money? and would you say it’s “private” or anonymous for the most part?

I use cashapp & venmo

And I would say they are pretty private!

#im not sure if you mean private on the giving or receiving #but I like both of them cause I don’t have to use my real name #most of the people who tip or join my snap usually use cashapp but some have used venmo instead #if you mean it’s anonymous as in I won’t know who it is - then yes #I’m still thinking about this angel who saved me this month by tipping me #and they never came forward! #i want to thank them so so so much #so KS if you see this - thank you and I love you 🥺 #the main app I would never use is PayPal #a few SW friends have told me never to use it and I trust them #so if someone doesn’t have cashapp/venmo I do have a wishlist option! #and then for some reason my wishlist didn’t work for someone so the last option is sending an Amazon gift card #but that is the last option #cause your girl is brooooke #i need money so I can buy groceries lol #anyway idk if this answered your question? #but feel free to ask anything you want hun 💖 #ask #anon

In Stars and Disco

(Disco side of the swap)

#in stars and time #ISAT #Odile #Siffrin #Isabeau #Mirabelle #Bonnie #disco elysium #The origins of this crossover came from my playthrough journal in which I wrote down “I think Siffrin should play disco elysium” #Something about failing forwards in general - but some scenes would *shatter* them. Maybe in a good way. #I think they would get to the first dream and need a few months before picking it back up again. #I am not sure if the developer of ISAT has played dDisco Elysium but Odile & Siffrin as a duo have strong HBD & Kim vibes. #Which I am so here for. Accidently or purposefully - it scratches an itch I never thought I would get scratched again. #Both are really good games with gutpunching writing and I want to spread the word. I am doing my part! #Yeah I put Bonnie as Cuno. I know exactly what I'm doing. #Isa is Titus - hard to tell because I gave up on drawing the hat. #This AU in any form is really fun to write comics for so I will be back. #Thanks to all the ISAT fans who have been really friendly so far! Hello hello!

She was unresponsive in his arms.

#yaz reread thoughts #I recently reread acowar so #it's not like they just came back from a romantic rendezvous #a lot of the elr*el evidence is based on scenes that are open to interpretation or made out to be something more than it actually is #that's why I was never convinced on the concept of the ship #if it had the build up and chemistry that was so blatant for Nessian... it could've won me over #but fast forward to ACOSF? where they speak to each other only once in the entire book? nah #and from what I've noticed in SJM's books is she wouldn't introduce a new potential love interest for the male while he has a thing for FMC #unless they're not endgame

Let me intorduce you to one of my absolute least favorite northern weathers: ”pääkallokeli” in finnish, aka ”skull weather” !! It’s when everything is icy and slippery, and comes from ppl falling & cracking their skulls :) And boi my trusty old doc martens I’ve used every day for 3 years straight and pure ice roads don’t go well together, I have no traction whastoever and am slipping big time!! Everytime I step a foot outside it’s a gamble

#but I’ve gotten good at the art of slipping but not falling #when u start to slip; gotta not panic and not try to stop moving bc then u will fall 100% bc physics #gotta lean into the fact that u’re now slipping and swing that other leg forward so u’ll just glide instead #it works most of the time so I’m not falling everytime I go outside; very rarely actually #last winter I did like twice (ofc always when there’s ppl around bc that’s how it works; u’ll never fall on ur ass if there’s no witnesses #but the moment there is? u’re done for) #just came back from slipping my way back home and it’s always nice to walk along some person who actually has weather appropriate shoes and #then there’s you who is emotionally attached to a pair of shoes and can’t imagine wearing any other ones #(should go get new soles installed for them before I die but that’s 100€) #november 2023 #2023

[brother-emperors]

There's something to me about how Pompey is said to have been nice to his wives, and how he also somehow gained two wife-coded political colleagues

I actually think that Pompey was wife-coded, not Caesar! Caesar gets a lot of heat over the Queen of Bithnyia allegations, but he never actually fulfills the role of a Roman politician's wife within the Tris Homines, although he DOES fill the role of a courtesan when the dominant political power at play was Crassus-Pompey

The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae and the Invasion of the East, Gareth C. Sampson

like all of this

Pompey the Great, Robin Seager

smacks of the same kind of skilled networking as this

Plutarch, Lucullus

like, if the whole of Rome is a political house, Crassus is wife-coded for sure because he's consistently the leading domestic politician out of the two, and pretty consistently remains in Rome once he's established himself with Pompey

The Political Role of Women of the Roman Elite, with Particular Attention to the Autonomy and Influence of the Julio-Claudian Women (44 BCE to CE68), Ilona Zager

The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae and the Invasion of the East, Gareth C. Sampson

and when he dies and Caesar and Pompey become the leading powers in Rome, Pompey is the one who stays IN Rome and is trusted with the well being of the house, so to speak, but with considerably less success than Crassus had at balancing everything out (the grading rubric: gang warfare is fine, civil war is catastrophic failure)

Plutarch, Pompey

the main difference between Crassus and Pompey is that Crassus preferred to stay in Rome and Pompey was not cut out for (gestures vaguely) all of that

#another thing that's fun about caesar is that he has sulla comparisons going on so it's like. crassus and pompey never really #uhhhhhh escaped the shadow of sulla. in crassus' case it's more like he went BACK to sulla via caesar #because he has the first connection to caesar. pompey comes later #and with pompey there was that whole 'rising-setting sun' theme between him and sulla. only in the end. the newer better sulla came out #winning. so the rising sun gave way to what was previously the setting sun. or something like that. its a circle! #Crassus-Pompey worked bc it was it was moving forward from sulla. Crassus-Caesar worked because Sulla had his hands in Crassus #in some kind of way. Caesar-Pompey on their own was doomed because now It's About The Ghost Of Sulla Eating You #ask tag

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)

Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!

Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason

Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space

This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again

Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)

The Protomen - Light Up The Night

#logs #ya don't have to participate if you don't want to‚ from what i've gathered - it's all just for fun anyway :] #The link to Yamashita's song is actually a link to a website that hosts city pop songs‚ since those keep getting taken down on YouTube due #to the strictness of Japan's copyright laws with regards to music. Uploads of Yamashita's songs in particular get taken down quite #frequently... The rest are either Bandcamp or YouTube (in case of Junkyard Dog) links #Very out-of-character of me not to put a Кино song on here‚ haha #I had a hard time deciding whether to put HOLD BACK THE NIGHT or Light Up The Night here‚ but ultimately decided on Light Up The Night #because... hoo boy #okay storytime. i've known of the protomen since somewhere around 2021. got The Good Doctor in my recommended feed‚ clicked on it because #i thought the album cover was cool + the title was appealing‚ but i never really listened to anything theirs beyond that song after that. #fast forward to 2022. be me‚ watching the greatest videoessay on planet earth (Steak Bentley's Metal Gear Solid 4 Was A Mistake). #the fucking MONTAGE comes on‚ and I fall in love with my second Protomen song. second fast forward to 2023 going into 2024‚ finally got #around to playing the Violence update. i learn of the name of level 7-2. the widest‚ most mischievous grin appears on my face. #i enter the level‚ proclaim ''ULTRAKlLL IS NOW A STEAK BENTLEY REFERENCE'' and blast the song as i get my ass beat by every single thing in #that level. #and let me tell you. getting mollywhopped ten thousand times by the FUCKING GUTTERTANK TRIO AT THE END OF THE LEVEL WAS. not a pleasant #experience. but the song made it better. :) (i played the level before the balance patch came out and uh let's just say i had more deaths on #that level than on 2gabe and 1gabe.

[the-ashenstreaked-doctor]

Currently thinking about how the Doctor identifies in his time…

The one time he’s really talked about it to someone, he’d said that he has no attachment to seeing himself as a man or woman, instead saying he is ‘outside of it.’ He dresses as he pleases, picks and chooses which societal customs he wishes to utilize (or cast aside..), and tends to let people assume gendered titles until they inevitably settle on the neutral ‘Doctor’ option.

The only reason he even uses he/him pronouns is because he likes the sound of them more. Any societal benefits to that preference are just a bonus. He would still pick that as his first choice with a clean-shaved face and a beautiful gown on.

In his younger days, others often thought him to be a dandy or sapphic. He wore suits to venues he’d donned a dress for the last 3 times he went. He was neither a proper lady nor a proper gentleman; he was both and neither, a proper person of his own right. For that, he occasionally got into trouble. No one likes the nail that sticks out, after all.

He remained loudly himself despite that.

#the ashen-streaked doctor #he also doesn’t own any dresses atm because a dress is more expensive than a suit and he came to the neath with 0 money #but now that he’s got some cash in his wallet… he’s really looking forward to getting a nice one #also.. he’s never actually told me if he was raised as a man or a woman #but I don’t think I’ll mind if he never gives me an answer #no matter which way.. he’d have not fit what was expected regardless. just loudly himself and all that entails

the first chapter of lover boy is really intense on an emotional level because So Many Things happen in quick succession it's like beau barely gets a chance to breathe and process it. meanwhile RR opening chapter is just felix and dorothy arguing in a laundromat.

#i used to have a problem with the lover boy first chapter bc i was like #i know what needs to happen thematically and i know the main plot beat that needs to happen to push it forward #but i didnt have any actual like. action to move to story to that place #in a way that had a causal chain #and now im like um!!!! is too much happening #anyway my other writing problem i realised via this chapter is i worry sooo much about the idea of coincidences #like the idea of just 'letting' something happen...in lb mainly two characters being in the same place at the same time #im like there has to be an intricate explanation for all of this which like yeah thats good to think about #but i also think coincidences are an important part of plot bc first of all coincidences happen #but its also not just the coincidence its the decisions the character s made that got them to that time and place #why they made those decisions and what they do afterwards etc.... #anyway! i dont know where i was going with that #RR chapter one.....ngl....its SOOO bad lol #like structurally. the prose is fine #but its been 3 years and 5 different opening scenes for that novel and NONE of them hit #but that's a problem for future me #the thing is most of my ideas now come with an opening but RR never came with an opening just the concept #because the rest of the novel slayyyyys #actually i think out of all 3 my favourite atm is the third book LOL #update literally 10 minutes after writing these tags i have an idea for a new RR opening team that i want to sink my teeth into #6th time's a charm!

i kindly offer: steve needing brain surgery at some point of his life, maybe between s3 and s4 bc of the russians, having to shave off the side of his head. it's hard for him at first, especially because his doctors aren't able to restore some of the functions they were supposed to save and maintain, so the procedure loses all meaning to him and he has (another) nasty scar on the side of his head, but some time passes and yknow what?

he looks like that because he saved a bunch of nerdy kids and his soulmate from death and torture. if this isn't reason enough to rock a new look, he really doesn't know what is.

(in my head that's how punk!steve is born, first in terms of looks then in terms of views. robin joins him shortly after bc duh??? steve can't be the only one who gets to piss off his parents and other judgy small-town minds)

#steve harrignton #stranger things #st4 #punk!steve #i've never really thought about him but today. today he came to me in my dreams #dont mind me im just babbling happily over here #something about steve accepting himself and the outcomes of everything he's been through #he's on the right side of things. crawling forward. yes #him

The flashback of Akk before he became a prefect makes me so sad. His mannerisms are so different. He doesn't have that perfect straight posture yet. He smiles so easily and openly, and at the teachers no less.(We've seen how he is with teacher Chadok now, there is none of that friendliness left anymore.)

It's a glimpse into the boy he once was, a "country bumpkin" still with his heart on his sleeve, someone without the need to control his emotions, who isn't afraid to stand up for himself when he feels wronged.

We've seen other, tiny glimpses of that boy before, but with this scene has made it even more obvious just how much the school and the prefect position have changed him.

#I don't know if his agression (when he punched his bully and later Aye in the locker room) is something he never really got under control #or if it just resurfaced when Ayan came along #Either way I'm really looking forward to see his character development #both into a completely new person and into someone who resembles his old self a little more #the eclipse the series #the eclipse #key speaks
