oh yeah.... im making aus now.... florist au but al haitham is a part time employee at the plant nursery tighnari owns and kaveh keeps running into him

#im very scared about talking about aus #since im not a writer... im a reader!!! shout out to all the fanfic authors you guys really carry me #also this is very obviously a modern au #in said au i like to imagine that when kaveh isnt actively drawing he wears compression gloves that double as normal art gloves theyre just #expensive as fuck so he tries not to get them dirtied in ink and graphite #in a similar vein al haitham owns 1 billion compression shirts cause comfy compression #i have a bunch of really specific and small headcanons tbh #ANYWAY ABOUT THE NURSERY PART #kaveh is a regular that likes to support his friends by buying way too many flowers he doesnt have the time to take care of :3 #also he buys samples to show clients when he has an idea involving flowers for decoration #collei also works there part time #also kaveh and al haitham knew each other in college but the Fallout(TM) happened so they stopped talking until they met again #met again in the nursery lol!!! #imagine being surrounded by carefully tended to flowers and trees and other flora while slowly falling in love #with the same guy that tore open your chest and peered directly into your soul #haikaveh #kavehtham #kaveh #alhaitham #genshin impact

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits 

#self #fantasy costume #If I had the money for a custom tailored fantasy-ish victorian-ish suit instead of piecing together random thrift store items with like walm #rt halloween costume type jackets and stuff.. #unstoppable..... #I would actually lean more straight up historical with my wardrobe it's just that everything I own basically is thrifted aside from a very #small portion of things (like usually socks for example I get from ebay. wigs from ebay. things that it's hard to find in thrift stores. etc #) and I rarely ever find stuff like that at the bins. Your closest bet is like. hopeing that the week you come in just so happens to also be #a week that a church costume department recently donated a bunch of old stuff. but I just haven't really had much luck finding like fancy ve #sts and suit coats and cloaks or like tunics and etc. etc. #Styles like mori kei or cult party kei are pretty accessible and easy for places like the bins (where youre usually digging through piles of #curtains and fabric scraps and doilies anyway). but finding like.. a straight up tudor england costume or something is . VERY rare #Sometimes you do find halloween costumes. Or like. stuff that's clearly like cheap 'Goth' stuff from shein or aliexpress that someone has do #nated and they can be a LITTLE okay in terms of usable for costumes. But you rarely find actual good quality stuff. obviously because like #real very good quality historical costumes are expensive and most people aren't just like 'yeah dump it off to goodwill' lol #In an ideal world though I would have fancy top hats and neck ruffles and stuff .. know this ghhjbhj #Lack of that will not stop me from taking picturesin basically the same outfit 6000 times though. My one single silky black vest and #one of the two solitary ruffly neck shirts I have every been able to find. #Pointy-ish little boots that I put with everything even thogugh they look terrible up close because they're literally like over 10 yrs old #I bought them so long ago and the black fake leather lining is like peeling off of the outside #ANYWAY #he's back again... the same little generic like elf vampire ruffle shirt with vest look.. might as well be the same guy #I support him and his dumbass disintegrating shoes anyway

bro what the fuck are they doing with my package

#fun story #i ordered 3 things from hot topic. they shipped but never arrived so a couple weeks later i messaged them abt it #and went back and forth with them for a while bc their customer service agents cant read apparently #before being told i had to call bc one of the things i ordered went out of stock and i was replacing it w smth more expensive #so i call and im on the phone for like a fucking hour missing the 15 minute window i have to eat between jobs #and being on the phone at work for a while lmao #i finally get it done and the guy fucking forgets my apartment number in the shipping address. it's in the billing address tho?? #so i email them AGAIN and im like yo your man forgot my apartment number. they cancel that order and place another #the effect this has is that the $14 payment for the more expensive item is cancelled as well. bc again they don't read #so im like sick i will effectively get these $60 pants for $15 (im very good at sales and also manipulating customer service) #but apparently when they replaced the order they put ny apartment number not in the address‚ but as part of my name????? #so i think its fucking up usps. but it came in 2 packages and 1 has arrived so i still have hope. but thats not the end #yesterday guess who fuckin calls me. its hot topic. my original order arrived to the fuckin store in my local mall #and theyre like i think we fucked up bc we just found this package but it says you picked up your order already. do u want it #and i was like yes? not really sure what package to be expecting and its my ORIGINAL FUCKING ORDER #so once this package arrives i will have gotten 2 of the same shirt‚ 2 kiki sign things‚ a sweater‚ and a pair of pants for $40 #and i figure i can return one of the shirts and one of the signs that i have duplicates of for store credit of their full price #so anyway yeah. thats been the past 3 weeks for me.

i got the teacup

#yes it was definitely too expensive but . it is one of my favorite merch items i have ever seen AND it comes with a dish and a box #AND i have been wanting a fob cup/mug for a VERY long time #so i can justify it #did not get the vinyl but i decided i didn’t need it so didnt even try #deliberated over the red t shirt for a while but . i have many fob shirts and realistically i will not wear a non black shirt that much #ok that was stressful im glad its over

Went to ren fair for the first time!!!

I got super into jesters recently esp historical ones and so my dad knew what he had to do

The hat isn’t very historically accurate but I just the 1800’s jester hats im sorry

The outfit itself is a mix of thrifted pieces and homemade bits and based on a little ‘character’

(Basically just myself) who is a jester from the Tudor era

Which is why he is dressed so extravagantly

People lost there minds at my costume and I had plenty of official jesters and the ROYAL FAMILY complementing and jingling my bells truly it was a treat

Certainly fun but it was 90 degrees and no shade and so fucking dusty

#rennisance #rennisance Faire #jester #jester oc #cosplay #I should post some of my doodles of this guy cuz people LOVE him #I was told it was very fitting I was a jester #everything was expensive I didn’t do much I saw a joust for free but I only got 1 second hand shirt for 30 bucks #also I did get lost for 2 hours and almost had to call the Sheriff to find my dad BUT that’s another sorry for another time :)) #was it fun? debatable #do I wanna do it again? ABSOLUTELY

[guinevereslancelot]

i highly recommend going to the thrift store and getting a nice sweater for like six dollars btw

#i got THREE sweaters and a flannel shirt for under twenty dollars the other day #and they're all very cute and comfy #this is what life is all about #i hate buying new clothes bc even when its a good deal im like yeah but i could get something just as good at the thrift store for way less #it makes me feel guilty lmao #bc my mom always got us all our clothes at the thrift store and now i still do that #it makes me enjoy it more to know it's cute but it wasn't expensive lol #thrift stores have done so much for us as a society #anyway nothing will lift ur week like getting a very cute sweater for like six dollars i think #this has been a shitpost #every time i see new clothes prices i cant believe it

Grabbed the Noir Hat on X last night (been using the Far Eastern Officer one for 2 years) so I updated some of his outfits!

I forgot how slim male Au Ra waists are though LOL

#x tag #<- new tag yippee!! #anyways side by side comparison to his waist compared to what i usually see since the jobs i play as has him wearing a coat lol #would have posted his gunbreaker glam too but i need to take a good pic of it... #it's very interesting how slim he looks in the crafting top tbh because his gathering glam has the southern seas shirt - #- and i don't remember him looking like that in it??? #ALSO GOD I NEED TO DO MY CUSTOM DELIVERIES ON HIM OH NO <- this is a reminder to myself #actually i can't remember if i actually did them or not lol... #anyways i've noticed in some of my older screenshots that his gloves weren't jet black like how i usually dye them #and then i find out that the leonhart gloves going into my armoire makes the dye go away #my expensive dye that i spent irl money on o(-< anyways they're in my glamour dresser now

i think what upsets me most, besides the fact that this means no more accordion unless i somehow miraculously get it fixed, is that despite my best efforts to be careful and not mess up, i still managed to make a mistake and fuck it up. despite understanding and appreciating how expensive and valuable and fragile this instrument is, despite my best efforts to keep it safe and in good condition, i still managed to mess up and damage it.

like ... I just mess up. I have something nice, something of value, and I cannot seem to keep it safe and taken care of. things end up ruined. shirts get holes, dresses get stains, electronics get battery acid leaking or cracked, dishes get broken, book pages get torn or bent, trinkets get chipped, instruments are bonked and rattled. i am so terrified of handling anything that things most often just stay sitting in lidded bins so they are safe from carpet beetles and dust and dirt and food and me.

i just feel awful, i dont understand why I can't just keep things safe and in good condition ?? why is this so impossible for me, especially when i care so much ??

#i think this is partially why i dont allow myself any good art supplies #I got a set of charcoals several years ago and I've barely touched them bc im terrified of fucking them up #but if i get smth from the dollar store? that stuff is getting used immediately #bc its cheap and its not very good quality #im not afraid of using things up. im afraid of ruining them #im such a careful person too but i just. always end up fucking up some time #idk what is wrong w me #this sounds so melodramatic but god im tired #i still feel sick that my nice shirt from the 70s got a tiny hole burned into it bc of fire sparks that i didnt know were around #like i just. cannot have nice things idk. i have the absolute worst luck it seems like. or maybe i just am not careful enough #idk how to be any more careful though honestly fhfkdl #like i either keep things stored away safely sealed up or i am exceedingly careful in handling them #and do everything i can think of and find out to make sure nothing happens #and yet ! #i just feel like a massive idiot for this idk fhfmkl silly me to think i could be trusted w this instrument #there are some websites and videos teaching ppl how to fix accordions but... its complex #but i either attempt a fix myself or never play it again bc getting a professional is too expensive #so ... i guess I'll have to take the dive and tinker w it if i want even a chance at playing again #im just terrified I'll break it even further #also i dont think i have access to everything I'll need for fixing it depending on whats gone wrong #so idk if it'll even be possible even if its doable like. i need Tools and leather and felt #i have spare leather scraps but no felt :| #and no special pliers fjfkdl #argh argh im so upset w myself for this #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

"how do you manage to appear to have expensive tastes when you have little enough money to be driving a car from 1996" very carefully.

#something something that one post where the person had their house full of antiques #was asked “are you rich” #and said “the most expensive thing in this picture is the cat and he was $60” #vimes boots theory of economics is true and i fall just barely above the line where i can save up enough for the good boots #but low enough that the united states federal government tells me i can go to college for free #my favorite flannel shirt does have a hole in the elbow though. it's very sad

[catboyolli]

my only rant about BC is that their shop charges me, a citizen from a non EU country, VAT tax 🙃

#if retaking my uni's 2 levels of tax related subjects taught me anything is how to treat vat tax for imports and exports lol #and with how expensive their shipping to here is + all our regulations on foreign currency payments....... i'm not paying the same tax twic #recordshopx saves me every fucking year by not taxing me VAT + they have exclusive bundles which are very nice #the LOTSAD bundle was better tho. i expected a poster this time again not the shirt (which is awful. sorry) and signed pic #i hope they don't sign the pic with black markers on their black clothes like lost society did for if the sky came down lol #ps. i hope this doesn't seem like i don't wanna pay taxes because it's not like that lol but them charging me VAT is double taxation #i pay my taxes nicely and report the correct tax amounts to our customs unlike other people who import goods lmao

update: standing in literally the longest fitting room queue of all time, send thoughts and prayers

#do not worry my basket has only sale clothes in it #im in the new uniqlo in covent garden and its SO busy #its a big shop but there's only 2 fitting rooms so the queue is very long #i like uniqlo clothes they r nice and if u go at the right time and look in the sales they don't have to be too expensive #plus the menswear is normally pretty decent #so i like looking in there for t-shirts and stuff

from my private twitter bc im right

#oh to have a puffy poet shirt #unfortunately nice quality ones are very very expensive #foop.txt

[bar-les-coucougnes]

i don't mean to sound like a weirdo but i tried on my shirt before it was done (i kinda roughly assembled the sleeves by basting them to get a feel of how they are) and it felt so fucking nice and cool i had to lie down for a second and enjoy the moment

are you telling me clothes are supposed to feel nice??? i usually wear normal clothes, t shirts, sweaters, jeans, etc and they don't feel awful but this... this feels nice????? are you telling me that some clothes have been comfortable this entire time???

#i'm not sure exactly why?? #but i have some guesses #linen is just that good #knits are just... not great in general #and the issue is that i only have tops made out of knits or stretchy fabrics #like yeah they fit but they're not comfortable #for me at least #clothes that give you space for the girls are just superior #i'd say if you make clothes for yourself then they fit you and obviously they'll be more comfortable but like #it's not like i tailored it or anything? #those are just some fucking rectangles lol #just get the widest part of your body and cut the rectangle to accomodate it and that's all #this was worth every euro i spent on the fabric omg #not that it was super expensive i guess but it wasn't very cheap either #feel like 20 bucks for a linen shirt that fits my tastes is pretty reasonable if you don't include the hours of work #and pulling my hair

[goatmilksoda]

Went to the mall today and they had a Loki slow cooker and waffle iron???? Hello???

#goat talk #it was very weird #the store was cool but holy shit everything was so expensive #they also had a neat Lamentis backpack from the show but like... #idk im not the worlds biggest Sylki fan right now #no Mobius stuff though :/ #but they had so much cool stuff just... not stuff id want to buy new #yknow? it was like 'woah this strawberry shortcake shirt is great! #but maybe not 50$ great...' #so um i hope people buy their clothes and donate them to a local Goodwill where i can buy them for 10$

Things I will probably regret forever: Not getting that In Extremo "Frei Zu Sein" hoodie back when it was still available.

#kaj rambles #in extremo #i just. love that design and that song and i always wanted that hoodie #but i deemed it too expensive when you could still get it over emp and now it's not sold anymore #and i'm very sad right now #because i want a) more in ex merch and b) another merch hoodie and that one would be perfect but i can't get it :/ #(also most new in ex merch is... meh. especially anything not a t-shirt) #to delete later
