Some of you guys need to twig that while Rose is portrayed as poor, Dan is portrayed as living in actual cannot afford food poverty.

Rose is frustrated with her life because she recognises her circumstances and lack of finances mean she's lacking in opportunities to do something more with her life. Her main complaint is she's bored and she could be better than this.

Dan literally can't afford food. That thing that is necessary for survival. Rose is portrayed as poor, Dan is showing modern day poverty. He is, also, incidentally, also bristling at his own lack of opportunities as much as Rose.

If you're gonna bitch at Dan for not wanting to do his plastering job because he wants to be a tour guide and saying it's his own fault he's in this situation, have a bitch at Rose for not wanting to do her boring retail jobs because she wants better things out of life than her circumstances will allow.

These are the same thing.

Dan is, however, Much more poor than Rose ever was and this is without even mentioning how Shockingly expensive it is to live in London compared to other England post codes, and that if Rose losing her job wasn't an absolute terrifying crisis to her and Jackie, that they can afford to live on just Jackie's money. In London. Dan does not live in London and can't feed himself, and as we learn, he had a house but.. really not anything else, no food no luxuries and it looks like he's not got any heat either. And then he doesn't even have a house.

Dan is strictly speaking, homeless, his whole run as a companion. He is in poverty. The show is making a point by having his journey say 'i am all of these things and I am still worth living, my life is worth something, it is a life worth living'.

And while Rose's story pointing out the unfairness of the lack of opportunity afforded to the working class is obviously something that needs to be said, Dan's story portraying a homeless person in poverty as an important and worthy human being deserving of both respect and help is utterly vital.

Having the doctor magically fix his poverty would literally negate the importance of the message.

Dan returns home realising he has worth and will accept the help of others, the type of help he always offers others himself. His arc does not change his circumstance, it changes how he views himself and how he responds to others.

But really. Dan's arc is Rose's with the kid gloves removed, both of these stories exist perfectly harmoniously and point out different yet the same facets of a serious issue. And slamming Dan's only to point out how great Rose's is just comes across as... potentially troubling  for a variety of reasons. Why is it acceptable to root for the poor person only when they’re not Gallingly poor? Dan’s arc is saying Dan has worth as a person, a homeless person. Have you seen the way the world treats those without homes? This is vital. 

#dw shit #finally the Snap #i held back here and Didnt slam how rose's arc ended #but know this #her getting a rich relative fantasy was Insulting and toothless

When I write my post-series not-elsewhere single-dad barista-Jon AU it’ll be over for you all.

#the magnus archives #tma #currently reworking and replanning and replotting and everything else #some of my sketches will be more or less just concepts #at this stage I’m unsure what I’m going to be keeping #but know this #Jon is going to be free of the soap opera that is the archives #and he is going to thrive!

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

#no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you #(which is my career tag; it is a quote from a tv show fyi) #(there was some confusion about that! it's from better off ted. just. so you know.)

they should invent a being in your twenties in which you do not feel your life is unsalvageable and ruined

#logically i know it isn’t & logically i know i have both time and options but 👍🏽

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist
