#how to make money for christmas

[randygrim]

No fandom stuff for today, only creatures

#i got swamped with deadlines and trying to make drawings for christmas #idk how im gonna print them out. so i might just have a shitty print that says “yo. this is a sample for once i have the money” #strawberries #strawberry #strawberry cow #strawberry bat #strawberry spider #bat #spider #spiders #cow #digital art #digital drawing #my art #grims art #ALSO THIS IS GONNA BE A STICKER SHEEET :DDD #eventually. someday. once ive saved up like 200 for a used cricket

I think if Yoite grew up and got a job and earned money. Well. I don't think he should have to participate in capitalism but IF he did I think he would always be buying people food and treats and gifts. Not because he was irresponsible or bad with money because he wouldn't be. But he wouldn't know how to spend money on himself and would want to show people he cared and provide something in return for their kindness

#oh huh what yes of course I'll make this sad #what if he never reconnected with tsukasa #but every year on tsukasa's birthday or around christmas or maybe both tsukasa inexplicably had a present sent to him #no signature. just a simple thank you note attached #nabari no ou #nno thoughts tag #oh. I think somebody else made a post about him handmaking gifts/food for his friends #but i specifically think the mental image of everyone going “YOITE HOW ARE YOU MAKING RENT” is funny #probably the best with money of anyone he knows and yet. it looks like he's irresponsible. utterly so.

Um. A fee I didn't know I was being charged for from the service I order meds from just came out of my bank account and now I have negative money

Anyone wanna pay me to write or doodle things for them?? ;;w;; My Ko-fi is in my pinned post if so.

Just let me know exactly what you want (and who you are, so I can contact you here! Or you can DM me letting me know which request was yours) and I'll get right to it. I don't have a commission sheet or anything so just give what you can and I'll do my best to make it worth it.

I'd really appreciate any help I can get right now from those of you who can spare it!!

#when i asked for money for my volo microorganism it felt silly and i was half joking. this is serious though and i feel rly bad about it tbh #i don't mean to beg but like. PLEASE consider #seriously ANY little bit helps #just. god. #been in a depressive episode for months. can't get a job. my health is worsening. i can't eat because my throat muscles no longer work #can barely sleep lately which is making it harder to apply for jobs and stuff. just had to have my partner pay over 1k in car repairs that #were necessary but i couldn't afford myself. still have to do christmas shit. still have to schedule my wisdom tooth surgery. #this feels terrible. everything is going so wrong lately. not to bring on the pity party but like holy shit lmao #i'm in shambles lately and idk how much the overdraft fees will be but just knowing I might be fucked is already tolling on me so hard #shut up crisa

Should I spend my Christmas money on a Carson commission….👀

#all I want for Christmas is more Carson in the world #and this is how I make it happen as well as making my own art #but there’s so many amazing artists out there with better art that I would be honoured to see Carson in their style 😚😭 #i said I would save my money this time but #yknow lol :p #Carson is more important

Hhhhhhhh I wanna be hired so bad

#I don't Have spending money I got like a tiny food allowance it'd be a game changer to actually have income #even when I get commission moneys (not common) it amounts to being able to afford extra stuff to munch on for a week #last thing I bought for myself was my nine nine nine copy I think? that was with years of grandparent christmas money lol #also it's just an all around damn good position? I'd love to have that in my routine hhh I hope me being new isn't what dooms me #it was the one thing I felt wasn't great in my interview though I guess I still did push it to a good direction when transitioning topics? #nhaah I am satisfied with how I did on my first job interview ever that's good and enough #...nhaa I still hope it works out though... there's not a lot making me stand out from other applicants I feel? hhhnha #Void fala aí

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I HAVE FINALLY OBTAINED:

H I M

Sobs … He’s so beautiful … So precious … My huswife is finally really here with me …

#fgo #beloved arjun #own ramblings #this is my last treat yourself purchase I’m making for the year lol #gotta save my money for Christmas presents now #do you think I can sew him little clothes #I’m so so so insanely happy with this #it took my ages to find a place that would sell this for less than AUD$80 including shipping #this is my first nendoroid so it took me a while to figure out how to stick things on and all that lol

UPDATE ON THE WARLOCK STAFF (PART 2.5)

I was meant to do the "rainbow" fabric but I got stumped when I remembered that I didn't had any fabric to do that. Specifically thin ribbon-like cloth that would be wrapped around the staff, below the crystal.

To solve that, I decided to do some online shopping on Etsy to get the things I needed.

This is ribbon I ended up buying for the "rainbow fabric". (I'm gonna paint it with the fabric paint I already have.)

I got red LED lights for the crystal. (I haven't decided on how I'm gonna do the crystal. 3D printing is not my thing but I have been thinking of just doing moldable plastic? Maybe???? I might need some help on what to do to make my own crystal that looks like that.)

Then lastly (and for fun) I got the last of this type of yarn for the base of the crystal. So that way there's visual texture to make it look really cool.

#I'm really excited when I get this all done #other than cosplay #I might even use this staff for my d&d club #I'm already like the process so far but there's still a lot to do #So thank god I got Christmas money to get these things to make this staff really cool #I'm very serious about all of this if you can't already tell #but seriously #How does one make their own staff crystal?? #is it 3D printing? #moldable plastic?? #clay?? #glass?? #I'm glad that I know what it is now but still #the crystal might actually be the most difficult part out of all of this #but I'll try to figure it out since I'm already putting effort to this project #No way I'm stopping now #anyways #wh fantasy au #rambles #welcome home #project progress #art project

I have made choices this week and they may not have been good choices but they were made and I’m living with them now

#I’m only 2/3 done with fuckinf sketching & lineart for my grandparents Christmas gift cause I was too busy #making pretend money on a minecraft RP plot server #which I don’t fully regret but uhhh crunch time #luckily it’s a slow week at work so hopefully I can get more of this done?? #I won’t be able to work on it more after 5:30PM tomorrow so uhhhh here’s hoping #cause Saturday were doing Christmas tree at my parents place all day and then dinner with my in laws #and then Sunday is Christmas Eve where maaaaybe I can fit some time in the morning #Monday is Christmas. no shot at it at that point #I have to wrap so many gifts too but idk where the scissors are so I may just have to do it at my parents place #I literally just bought those scissors like two weeks ago too idk how they disappeared

finished the cozmez memory novel

#this was too much #WHAT DO YOU MEAN NAYUTAS METAL EROSION HAPPENED BC HE ASKED FOR MORE MONEY = MORE EXPERIMENTS #JUST BC HE WANTED THE MONEY TO BUY KANATA A CHRISTMAS GIFT AND GIVE IT TO HIM LIKE SANTA #BC KANATA STILL BELIEVES IN SANTA AND NAYUTA WANTED TO MAKE HIM HAPPY BC SANTA HAD NEVER VISITED THEM BEFORE #NAYUTA NOOOOOOOOOO #his intentions were so pure and it was actually really cute seeing him witnessing kanatas reaction to the present and how #he could barely stop himself from smiling #BUT NOT AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN LIFE YOU STUPID IDIOT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #(also the whole kanata believing in santa thing is so absolutely funny and cute i would have never expected it from him alfjskdjd) #and then the exact moment when nayuta realizes his actions arent really helping anyone at all but the contrary #when he hears shiki screaming his name and sees the pained expression on his face!!!!!!! #like how in just one instant he gets all that fear and regret suddenly only when its already too late and he prays for another chance...... #and thank GOD he got it #but AAAGHYGGGGGGGGGGG CRYING FOREVER

CURSE MY FUCKING SHITARSE INTERNET I JUST WANT TO PLAY SOME FUCKING TEKKEN GAAAAHHHHHHHH

REINA IS SO FUCKING SICK AND I CAN'T PLAY HER AGAINST REAL PPL I'M STUCK FIGHTING THE STUPID AI FUCK

#i have some christmas money lying around so i guess i'm just gonna have to buy an ethernet cable #my setup (if you wanna call it that) is really not conducive to getting wired up at all #but fuck man there's no way i'm gonna just not play this fucking game it's way too fucking sick #well at least i had plenty of time to play the story lol which for the first like 80% of it's runtime it's like hey this is fun #like it's not super boring & there are actually some really cool moments sprinkled in here & there #then there's the second-to-last jin/kaz fight which was kinda what i expected the finale to be #like ok they've got their big crazy final forms & they're gonna have their big over-the-top anime fight & that's all fine i guess #but then they have one last normal hand-to-hand fight #and speaking as a long-time hardcore tekken fan that last fight is one of the best most joyful experiences i've ever had with a video game #like i've always felt that jin's transition from tekken 3 to tekken 4 was such a cool melding of story with gameplay #like in story at the end of t3 he's betrayed by heihachi so in t4 he forcibly unlearns the martial art heihachi taught him #and this is reflected in gameplay by his moveset being completely different so them coming back around to that in t8 #and reinforcing the whole theme of jin accepting his past by LITERALLY GIVING YOU HIS TEKKEN 3 MOVESET IN THE FIGHT AGAINST KAZUYA #WHILE A REMIX OF HIS TEKKEN 3 THEME PLAYS???? GOD WHAT A FUCKING SEQUENCE!!! CHEF'S KISS MWAH MWAH MWAH #and then just the lovely little moments of fanservice. obvious stuff like kaz wavedashing or he & jin doing the namco logo thing 1 last tim #but then obscure stuff like jins t3 df1 glitch & kazuyas weirdo t4 re-stun combos?? like how many ppl are even gonna know about that shit?? #they hella did not have to do that but they did & it makes me so so so happy #so yea the t8 story is like 80% a fun entertaining little romp & 20% the hypest shit i've ever ever ever seen #and also reina is the best new character namco have made for tekken since steve in t4 #it's funny cause in the whole leadup to t8 i was having a little trouble figuring out who i was gonna main #cause in t7 i spent most of my time bouncing around basically the whole cast before finally settling on julia near the end #obv no julia in t8 so i had to pick someone else & no one in t8 was really jumping out at me #lots of super cool characters that i'd already played quite a lot of but not really anyone that's like ok yea that's my fucking guy #lots of sick af potential secondaries but no main basically #then they released the reina trailer & i was like ok yea that's my fucking guy #sick design sick stage sick AS FUCK music & a bunch of mishima staples to go along with it??? #she's got an electric? hellsweep? wavedash? flash punch combo? stonehead? #plus some heihachi specific staples? demon breath? heaven's gate? iron hand? fucking HUNTING HAWK??? then yea that's MY FUCKING GUY #so yea reina fucking rules & i just wanna play her against real ppl please for the love of fuck #OH ONE MORE THING THEY DID ANOTHER GREAT JOB WITH THE MUSIC. AT LEAST 3 NEW TRACKS ADDED TO THE TEKKEN PANTHEON OF ALL-TIME CLASSICS

cannot wait for one of my partner's brothers to bring home a significant other and to have the "hey here's what to expect" talk with them. it'll be nice. or horrible if they just get completely accepted without any hesitation. which I suspect is the more likely case.

#blah blah I'm unlovable yadda yadda. you know the rest #I'm too out of spoons to regurgitate how shitty I feel about my inlaws. it sucks ass and makes me feel unwanted and all. #that's as far as I have the energy to process. #but my mother at least came through. she sent me 300$ for christmas to help w/ food costs #and as much as I don't want her in my life I'm not gonna turn down her guilt money

[that-cheer-up-anon]

Would love to not spend $20 on a doctor appointment to tell me that the weird blood spots on my legs that are now reaching my arms "just happens" and tell me not to do anything about it. You know. Something that has never happened to my body before and has lasted at least a month now.

#Ella life #super helpful #there's a closer doctor that specializes in skin and womens health but they're more expensive and I have no money #and work is low occupancy so barely any hours which means I probs won't even be able to make rent w my current wage #and w my bruised tailbone I honestly don't even want to work #I mean I hate that job and don't want to work but doing that job while still in pain is even worse #and bc of mass train station upgrades trains are going to be out from christmas to 18th January #HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA GET TO WORK????? #so yeah you could say I'm stressed #very stressed financially

coaching the girlie that she Should by all means make her boyfriend help her cook the food he demanded of her and that is not endearing that his repertoire consists of Scrambled Eggs.

#she is a lot closer to my age than the other lady that was giving money to a man holding a “how to get a man and keep him happy” course #demanded might be too much of a strong word for whatever was going on #they were civilly discussing what to have for christmas dinners (when the parents are coming over) and he requested something #she has no experience making and does not want (she prefers classic christmas food) #but he also rebuffed the classic christmas food she wanted to make #and he was like oh also the kids that are coming probably wont like it so we should also order pizza for them #shes rightfully miffed about this #i sound like a redditor to myself but i know those guys would jump for the gun and suggest break up

i love my mom but sometimes i really just wanna -

#like i really do love her and she's coming up to see me this coming weekend #but like #sometimes she does things or says things completely forgetting the fact that we've already talked about it #for example #she's hosting christmas at her house and i've already talked to her and the whole family about how we aren't going because #it's just not gonna work out schedule or money wise. #keep in mind they decided to do this AFTER i had specifically asked we hold it closer to me so that i COULD attend and that was back in mar #but whatever #she texted asking if i was joining them for christmas and i said no - AGAIN #and she said #“i kinda figured but wanted to let you know you're invited” #like HUH #I HOPE I'M INVITED TO MY OWN FAMILY'S FUCKING CHRISTMAS WHAT THE FUCK #also she's coming to see me this weekend and she keeps making plans #without asking if i'd even want to join her in them she just assumes that i will #remi vents

Thanksgiving is just sort of interesting because I'm still experiencing that deep seated loneliness just waking up but it's also like I never cared about this day anyways

#i plan intricate ways to do things on christmas or ill go insane though it matters to me #idk what ill do this year #wish i could just go to Ireland hdjakdkajs but money #being isolated on christmas makes insane insane #but thanksgiving its like. i didnt celebrate it as a kid and when i did it was just make fun of how i eat game #so #but i still wake up lonely #i also slept really really long thi #maybe i should do what i did in 2020 and sam post 😭😭 #delete
