i know people are good because of this: the universe often assigns me side quests. in a circular strangeness; despite my inability to locate my-own-anything, i am almost-always finding someone else's lost things. dogs, coats, phones, cash, laptops. it happens so often it's almost tiring; suddenly being looped into a tiny amount of detective work.
but when i'm with other people who are not used to this: the response is almost invariably delight. yes, maybe they are simply thrilled by the mystery. it's just... they light up so much. i think maybe more... i think they like the opportunity to do something kind.
a few weeks ago, i was at a bar and i found a wallet as soon as we stepped outside. i felt nervous to ask for help, worried i would be holding up the night. i picked it up and said go on without me, i should help this get back to its home.
instead, three people pulled out their phones - to find him on facebook, to help cancel his credit cards. two people went back into the bar to tell the bartender, two others went calling down the street. group texts, facebook posts, instagram stories. people, without even seeing what happened, start offering help to me. fifteen minutes and: someone knows someone who knows the guy. the cheer that went up - just for finding him, just for this small thing. someone gets him on the phone. strangers dance around me, hopping on their feet - are you the girl that found that wallet? good for you, that's a good thing you're doing/same thing happened to me and somebody did what you're doing and i thank god everyday for people like you/i can't believe you found him so fast this is so exciting
i gave it back to him in a parking lot. i watched his shoulders sag with relief. there was cash in it still - he checked the pocket, and then sheepishly held the money out to me. i didn't take it. i held up my hands. "it's no problem, man. i know you'd do the same for me."
i don't know him, to be honest. i don't know if he is the same kind of person i am. but he nodded at me.
and i know people are good. i know people are good, because the way this story ends isn't surprising. we wave goodbye awkwardly. my friend loops their arm around me.
"i can't believe we got it back to him," they said. "i'm going to be riding that high for weeks."

Head empty, no thoughts - CRCB is literally all I think about and I’m constantly looking forward to new chapters. You’re doing such a fantastic job and I LOVE IT. The different dynamics between the boys and reader… I know I say this all the time, but I’m eating this tf UP. Major kudos on this story babe🫶
Aww thank you so much!!! It makes me so happy to hear people are enjoying the fic. I know I say it a lot but I do mean it. It really makes me genuinely happy and literally has me reconsidering maybe writing a book someday. 💚💚

so its no surprise that since it entered my mind, that i need Baxter in those clothes.
better yet. have you seen Crowley from Good Omens? His modern clothing?
yeah.
look im not doing great. i need this man biblically in that black turtleneck and suit ensemble
you know what else is eating at me?
40 year old Baxter with his natural grey hair, glasses that suit his sharp features, cardigan, shirt and tailored pants ensemble, smile lines and crows feet from being so happy
if anyone wants to draw this i would love you forever more, otherwise he will need to just exist in my mind eye and continue not paying rent

not to be another donations post but you may remember how over the summer we had massive amounts of plumbing problems and other unexpected moving costs? well. after proceeding to work every single hour available to me for six months, take no holidays whatsoever, and budget the hell out of every aspect of my life, I was actually on track to pay everything back and maybe have a little bit of wiggle room by the time summer came around!
and then we got a call from the vet about routine labs saying that if we didn't take Suzy in to an emergency specialty hospital immediately, she would die within in a week, she might die anyways if we took her there, but it was our only chance to have a few more months with her. after an extremely difficult household discussion, we decided that we needed to do as much as we could for her. she's been a beloved member of the family for 18 years. we were not going to abandon her in her hour of need.
Tumblr media
with two days at the specialty hospital, the prognosis was better than we could have possibly hoped! the most important thing is she does not have heart problems at all, which means that we can treat her chronic kidney disease with normal IV fluids and with careful treatment she could easily be with us for years to come. the timely intervention also may or may not have saved her from acute kidney failure too, we'll know when we go back to the vet on Wednesday to get her blood checked where her levels have stabilized at.
two days at the specialty hospital means we are also down $3652 , and no longer are on track to pay back everything by July when it comes due unless a couple of uncertain things going forward Go Right, I do not trust everything to Go Right, and we're also still uncertain about what long-term treatment going forward is going to cost.
I still have my ko-fi and my patreon, but honestly, I'm aware that everything is tight for everyone always and there are also a lot of causes that need money right now and in the face of that "hey my family went super out on a limb to try to save our cat and would love some help not falling off" feels kind of shallow. but like. not to sound dumb or like a youtuber or podcaster, but, like. honestly I think the Most Helpful Thing that anyone could do for me right now is take a fucking HelloFresh link that will send you a "free" box for cost-of-shipping ($7ish?) if you Sign Up For An Account that you can then cancel Immediately After The Box Has Shipped and Never Give Them Any More Money Than That and get Six To Ten Meals Out Of It, and for getting someone to "sign up", they will give me a free box too. like. if 13 people are willing to take a link then I don't need to worry about food for the next three months. which would be. HUGE.
so I guess.... dm me if you want a link? otherwise expect to see a lot of promotion of my writing/ patreon as I scramble the hell to try to make this money up
#my life#pet sick for tw#donation post#sort of#yes I am aware that Hello Fresh is problematique / union-busting#they are also currently the only easily accessible source of Free Food that we can actually eat/use#honestly if anyone Wants To Help but doesn't really have the $7 for shipping#I will freaking venmo you back the $7 after I get confirmation of account credit#sending someone $7 for $60 of groceries still means you have Gifted Our Household with net $50 of food#at no cost to yourself#I'm not in As Shitty of a place as last summer bc my mother is also deeply emotionally attached to Suzy#and has agreed to spot us in July for a bit of the money if we pay her back in September#it's just!!!! really FUCKING frustrating!!!!!! we had the money saved!!!! I have spent the last six months KILLING myself to have the money#and now we are back to nearly square 1 except with six months instead of twelve months to make up the difference#so. free food would be much appreciated. as that would also mean that no matter what bullshit the next few months throws at us we at least#know that there will be weekly groceries shipped to us#me @ my job give me overtime hours#legit might destroy me again to work a 240hr month a month or two in a row#but three months of THAT would put me in the clear and they've got free coffee and energy drinks at work#however in lieu of my job giving me the ability to Not Practice The Best Self Care in return for Ungodly Amounts Of Money#'hi friends and mutuals can I interest you in a HelloFresh box' is the best I can do#I swear I will never start a youtube channel or start podcasting tho

hey ummmm jsyk the red cross is going through a severe blood shortage. if you are eligible, please donate—from the beginning of august to about mid-september 2023 alone, the red cross has lost about 25% of its blood supply, and has been sending blood to hospitals at a MUCH faster rate than it has been receiving donations.
giving ONE pint of blood can save THREE people’s lives. power red donations (which require certain conditions be met) can allow you to safely give TWICE AS MUCH blood. plasma can be given once every two weeks, making it more frequent, but again, you must meet certain conditions.
also, i’m not sure if this is a thing in just my state or nationally, but if you give blood before October 20th 2023, they give you a free $15 Amazon gift card. i believe we shouldn’t need incentives for things like this but in case that is a motivator for anyone, check what they’re doing in your state!
i cannot understate the importance of giving blood right now if you are eligible and have the means. you could help so many people by regularly giving. someone in the united states needs blood every two (2) seconds, and while three people doesn’t sound like a lot, many people together donating could save up to thousands.
please share this around. it’s something i’m insanely passionate about and i wish more people were.

[29/?]
BDBWM Day 9 | Aunts and Uncles from Rogue Gallery
original prompt | complete masterlist
On days Marinette doesn’t feel like donning the fox and cat, she takes the Mouse pendant and escapes into the deep cracks of Gotham. Partly for stress relief, partly to associate with more people. 
She transforms and splits into three copies: Multimari, Minimari, and Marimouse. 
---
Multimari finds her first target (victim?) in a nearby alley. She drops onto his shoulder and dusts off her suit. 
“Eddie, I told you to stop wearing that hideous suit,” she scolds. “I am one second away from designing you a new one!” 
“Oh, hello mousey,” The Riddler greets. “I like the patterns in this one.” 
“The question marks? Please.” 
“But it’s a suit! Doesn’t it look dapper?” 
“Horrible. It looks horrible.” Multimari grabs on as he moves around. “What are you up to anyway?” 
“Setting up traps for the dear Bats of course,” the villain hums and bustles around. Multimari looks around. There’s an array of random things scattered around. 
“Gross, you’re going to see the Bats wearing that?” She tuts. 
---
Minimari slides down a leaf inside the botanical gardens. She’s caught by Harley Quinn just in time before she falls completely. Harley gasps in excitement. “Mousey! We’re about to have dinner!” 
“Oops!” Minimari giggles. “Thanks for that Harley. And isn’t it midnight right now?” 
“Never too late to eat! We’ve got alcohol.” Harley brings her to the table. “Pammy look who came to visit!” 
“I heard.” Poison Ivy beams. “Haven’t seen you in a while, mouse.” 
“Sorry. Got too busy.” Minimari scratches the back of her neck. “Three plates?” 
“Kitty’s joining us. Girl talk and all,” Harley replies. 
Minimari nods. She knows Selina is Catwoman, but Catwoman herself hasn’t suspected her identity at all. Harley puts her down on the tabletop and gives her a crumb from one of the muffins to munch on. 
Catwoman saunters into the place. “Sorry I’m late. Had to steal something real quick.” She glances down on the table. “Hey mousey.” 
Minimari gives a salute, instinctively shuddering at Catwoman’s joking predatory smile. 
“Pfft, you mean flirt with your boyfriend.” Harley rolls her eyes. 
“More or less.” Catwoman shrugs. “So mousey, how’ve you been lately darling?” 
“Same old, same old.” Minimari takes a small chocolate chip for herself. She freezes and blinks rapidly all of a sudden. 
“What’s wrong?” Ivy asks. 
Minimari makes a face. “One of my copies is in trouble.” 
---
Marimouse isn’t in trouble per se, but she’s gotten into a situation. As she’s heading to stalk the Iceberg Lounge, she accidentally falls down the drainage and ends up on the head of Killer Croc. 
Killer Croc notices her and begins clawing at his head. She shrieks along with him. “No, wait! I’m not—aaaaah!” 
He growls and stomps on the ground when she finally gets off. 
“I come in peace!” Marimouse holds her hands up. But she jumps out of the way, when he tries to step on her again. 
“Dang it! Mice belong to the sewers, you know!” She scoffs.

2024 resolution idea:
schedule budget dates with yourself (and anyone else you share finances with) where you go over the budget and open a high yield savings account if you haven’t already!

I started an honor mode playthrough with probably the cutest tiefling in bg3 and I fuckn got killed during the Phase Spider Matriarch, so I decided to continue my save with dishonor because my character was just so damn cute. Well for some reason or another the game didn't?? Switch it to custom mode?? It's still honor mode??
So I'm either going to get those golden dice in the most dishonorable way possible or the game is just pulling on my leg and It's just honor mode without the reward.
#simon says#the character btw is a pink tiefling fae warlock/bard named Poetry#she's wearing purple and yellow clothes until I find pink dye#and she's wearing the volo bard reward clothes which make her look absolutely adorable??#i just gotta draw her soon#she's also a Wyll romance. because I have yet to romance Wyll and I think warlock/bard is a GREAT combination to romance him with#it's funny because so far Astarion has been my main romance (i think 3 times now)#and he fuckin HATES her#Poetry is a little goodie two shoes who is not using those Illithid powers so everyone else loves her kindness and whimsy#and Astarion thinks she's the world's biggest pinkest killjoy#legit got angry at her and asked if it's her life purpose to ruin his fun#it's gonna take him a while and a lot of silly responses to get him to warm up to her#and i dont think the mild annoyance at her goody goody antics will go away#but yeah i just... love her so much#the other playthrough is another goody goody no illithid playthrough but he's a half-drow druid saving himself for Halsin#it's pretty funny as Poetry though because Shadowheart is already ready to start something together and Gale has started flirting#but she's only got eyes on the blade of Frontiers baby#oh and Poetry is also a dark urge playthrough who is avoiding her urges as much as possible#unless it's an unavoidable event she is surpressing that#Bhaal somehow spawned the world's cutest murder machine#anyways im gonna keep playing today because im tired (i drank last night) but I gotta draw poetry soon she's so cute
