#let's talk about debt

[esmeralda-juniper]

?

#idk if this was a scam or a debt collector but #but I got a call and it said anonymous which first off is kinda weird #then they said they were looking for this guy <- who does work in my dept btw #and I was like ok this was prob a scam and hung up then seconds later they called again like #‘why did you hang up?’ bc I answered again like an idiot #then they kept going on about how they were from the state looking for him #but also really wouldn’t say who they were?? like the state ok… which state?? we have a couple that border us #anyway it ended like ‘well someone will probably come by and talk to you Emily’ #they were also mad bc I wouldn’t let them talk to my supervisor who was honestly out #anway typing it up it prob wasn’t a real person from the eye gov #but someone is looking for this man!! #it was kinda scary they were real mad and I was like 😳 the whole time but whatever not my problem!!

as of just now, i’m officially HALFWAY done with my masters program!!! (?!?!)

#one year down....one to go #+many decades of debt but let's not talk about that #not japanese #sasha.txt

[moomimob]

thinking about the themes of debt and what people do/don’t owe each other within ajin and if i don’t get to talk about it soon i will explode

#this theme of someone owing something is so imbed within the story #at every turn #somebody has a debt/is repaying what they believe they owe #and this creates so many cool and contradicting character parallels #izumi -> tosaki #tanaka-> sato #kei-> kai #kotobuki-> kai #kou-> kei #and more #and when that shit gets reversed #or better yet #SUBVERTED #i can’t even begin to describe #ajin fans please talk to me #cmere mutuals let’s talk about thematic story telling #excuse my spelling mistakes im too busy thinking about it #ajin

I want to know if modern audiences foaming at the mouth accusing people like H of "baiting" would say that about Elvis now too. omg! HE WORE MAKEUP. PINK. SPARKLY SHIT. in his case, while being straight. OFFENSIVE! 😱

the elvis erasure tbh.

Those glittering garments with their embroideries and nailhead patterns or paste gem barnacles were precursors to the stage-wear worn by every pop star — Prince, David Bowie, Harry Styles — who ever invited his fans to feast their eyes on him erotically. (x)

people incensed that a man would dare to wear *checks notes* pink and rhinestones and fringe...the horror

i keep thinking about this because it's still some embedded biased ideas projected onto artists, except now THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE?!?! elvis was met with judgement and scrutiny for his style (sartorial and musical), his fashion and presentation were deemed a threat by some, due to stringent concepts and preconceived notions about sexuality/race/gender, and it was later weaponized against him for other unkind reasons. but those with that more biased mindset are still doing that to people, except now it's ALSO being perpetuated by many who ought to understand acceptance and why the blurring and breaking of those rigid boundaries and boxes is important. make it make sense.

bring back manly men, i guess

bonus because of whatever is happening here

#we talk about h's and e's pink suit parallels and sparkly jumpsuit parallels let's also mention the black leather suit parallels #h couldn't have *portrayed* him but there are things he's directly drawn from him whether consciously or not #also before anyone yells at me for real yes many other artists have done this #and we owe a debt to men of color/poc and the queer community #what i am saying is that it is absurd to call someone wearing pink or silver sparkles queerbaiting lol #i have thoughts about the fact that because el embodied a very obvious masculinity but then sort of self-subverted it #and chose those styles and the sensuality etc it made them even more outraged #i love this topic btw #not the baiting part the cultural connections part #anonymous #letterbox #elvis presley #sorry to every follower who is not this anon for this post amen 🖤 #i was a dreamer

i just think it’s really cute how dimitri waves goodbye to the lord of the route you’re on. even after all the fighting and even though they all know the war could continue even after fighting battle together, he’s still so polite and humane toward them.

i also like how they changed the angle of the scene specifically so that you could see that he was waving directly to the lord of the respective route.

#Three Hopes #Three Hopes Spoilers #Dimitri #Claude #Edelgard #dimi rly out here not wanting to fight and never did want to and even tho they forced a battle against faerghus #he's still so kind to them and doesn't even say the kind of things edelgard said like how she doesn't want to let them go #in her route she says she thinks it's foolish to let either of them go alive and in claude's route she says #that she doesn't think it's wise or smth to let dimitri go #he doesn't even rly say anything about stuff like that like about the battles and just hopes they can talk again #the fact that dimitri says they'll consider all debts paid like holy shit dimitri is a literal saint of a godsend #in gw he says this despite that you killed matthias and sylvain has openly expressed a hatred for their enemies/invaders #and edelgard/her army KILLED sylvain and a bunch of other people form the kingdom with only rly him and felix left #and annette can survive depending on what you do in her battle #but he's LITERALLY THIS POLITE AND KIND ON BOTH AND STILL HOPES THEY CAN SPEAK AGAIN? #like yeah I think some of the lines were just left unchanged because ??? but also this convo after this chapter #does change quite a bit depending on the route so it's not like they just like #eh let's leave the convo the same regardless of route like they do for some other things #they still made dimitri say this on both routes #whereas in his route he's allied with claude (which makes the last line of their suppor super awkward #and is one of the lines i mean when i say they just didn't change something and left it be #even if it just doesn't make sense to leave it) #and him and claude are just like see you at garreg mach and they figure edelgard just ran off ahead of them #so in ag with edelgard having gone on ahead (or thales having found her and taken her away) #everyone else there are already on good terms so there's no need for him to say those things #and i think the fact that she does say the lines in the pics on the other two routes is just so precious of him aaaaaaaaaaaa

i defaulted on my debts 3+ years ago so no companies can sue me for them so there is no point paying them since they're charged off and doing so will not affect my credit score... so i'm just waiting until they fall off and am going to try to rebuild my credit a little w/ a secured card in the meantime. kind of wild

#ultimately i'm lucky that one company in particular didn't sue me bc it's a pretty high balance. not that they need the money #i imagine they have some way to see that i don't earn much and haven't for the past few years #so that's probably why #anyway at the same time i do feel like i've suffered quite a bit from having poor credit and have learned my lesson #about letting people talk me into buying them things on credit :/ not that i would let someone like that into my life again #it's funny tho like $20k in debt and just... won't be. 4 years from now #credit is fake i hate this shit

[ghoul-haunted]

the pacific rim ost did not, in fact, fix me*, but now I'm typing out sentences like 'pompey should stick his tongue in the space between crassus' ribs' so we're still winning

*however the soundtrack fucks so we're still winning in that way too. I got so much writing done.

#idk im not used to the feeling of actively disliking someone i objectively do not care about anymore #like. what an unpleasant sensation and also generally a waste of my energy. and yet. anyway. let's get back to the topic at hand. #sensations of sex and surgery etc etc etc #its about that bit in plutarch's crassus where he writes that pompey wanted crassus in his debt SO BAD #might have to change this scene to a gnarly thigh wound tho #bc i also want to talk about. actual ancient world surgery with this.

Today on Writing with Libra: Is This Fluff?

TW: mention of suicidal ideation.

Me: Look! I'm writing fluff!

Also me: Wait, we can do that??

Me: Mm-hmm *proudly displays fic 1 and fic 2*

Also me: *looks at fic 1* This one literally has a suicidal ideation trigger warning! He almost dies. He basically gives up? And that's just the first 500 words!

Me: Oh... right. But what about this one?

Also me: *looks at fic 2* If you ignore the last paragraph maybe...

Me: Yeah, it got a little *gestures vaguely*. Is bittersweet fluff a thing?

Also me: Well, if it is, we nailed it.

#been working on 3 different fics lately #fic 1 (untitled). fluffy premise; angsty execution #fic 2 (the boy and the rain). stopped writing on if for months; forgot where it was heading; now it's fluff-adjacent? #and then chapter 2 of a debt to pay #the first one (untitled) is about the sins as a found family (and me exposing mel as a demon yet again) #in the second one (the boy and the rain) i actually let mel be happy and enjoy the little things in life #the third one (a debt to pay) is pure whump (for both mel and gowther!) with a side of comfort #libra talks about her writing #nanatsu no taizai #seven deadly sins #tw suicidal ideation #tw suicidal thoughts

not vent but vent. like. i think i would attribute anything negative to venting. anyways it's in the tags

#vent #i am THINKING rn. #my gf loves watching tik tok. i don't and i get a bit irritated and tired when i even hear the word #and she sends me tiktoks like every day or so #i already had to put a hard limit of 8 as the amount she can send to me in one day (yes. she was sending more) #but now that im working and i keep borrowing more and more energy from myself (im already in debt btw) #i really can't stand tiktoks. like i know it's stupid but i struggle to be normal about them #anyways. today she said something like 'ohh i have so many tiktoks for you today' (AS IF IT'S A GOOD THING) #so i just went 'mhmm' (i think it was the most peaceful decision on my part) #and we barely talked since. she didn't send me them either #ssssooooo #what im thinking about is. how she doesn't get that it's genuinely tiring for me when every time she sends me tiktoks i am NOT excited #and i let it show #like i prolly should have a talk with her and explain that it's mentally taxing for me (for the third time) but i guess im #amazed more than anything else #i do appreciate that she wants to share something with me. i just wish it wasn't tiktoks bc i have a very strange mental thingy about them #im like deathly tired. i dont understand humans. if someone wasn't excited about something i was sharing with them I'd stop doing that

y'know i DO dream of labor actually. just not this shit

#i think ive talked about this already but like. i would do so many jobs if they let me do irregular hours and i wasnt #forced to work/work consistently under threat of death #and i would do even more if college was free and i could get certified for more difficult/intensive jobs #if i didnt have to dump all my money and years of debt into one career path/field i would fucking love to fly cargo planes on weekends #if i were able to explore shit instead of being exhausted all the damn time i would do so many necessary tasks for society. #i would go be a plumber if doing so didnt make it harder for me to pursue college #i would sort shit i would stock shelves i would clean up trash in public parks #i cant do all of that consistently because the idea of doing any of those things in a 9-5 makes me wanna gut myself but like. #let me microdose necessary menial labor. i would fucking do it #and i KNOW im not the only one #and allowing these things to be more flexible would make repetitive stress/exhaustion based injuries less common #some of the longterm health problems associated with things like trucking or factory work would be diminished if they weren't always doing #the same shit over and over again #having a moment rn sorry. kill capitalism #i am not the only one and i think a lotta people would agree if they were given a fucking break #and even if you wanted to only do one job like. go crazy thats important too #I WOULD DO FUCKING SOUND DESIGN BITCH

ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#family cw #sometimes. i talk to my family. and i go 'ohhhhhhhhhhhh my deep-seated conviction that every good thing i get #necessarily comes at the expense of someone else's pain and thus is something i should feel guilty about DOES have a source--' #it would have been really really nice to be excited about having $10000 less student debt for like. ONE minute.... #also idk idk it's crazy to see something and be like 'wow good news for once!' and then get slammed with complaining #both from my family angsting about the wide-reaching economic implications AND from ppl on twitter about how it's not enough toactually help #and like. yeah the ppl on twitter are right! and there's probably some truth in what my family said too they're generally smart people #even if their priorities are all out of wack! but it's also like. yeah well fuck me i guess! sorry i briefly got happy! #anyway. maybe having a bunch less debt will let me afford therapy :) #sigh i think it sucks that people that you really really love and respect and who generally did so much good for you can also hurt you :( #hm i'm remembering i haven't eaten lunch yet. gonna go do that so i'll start feeling emotions at normal levels again

[arthur-r]

hi so this started as a life update and then turned into a major vent and i am very sorry so i am putting it under a cut. content warning for medical stuff and surgery and also college and also generally being upset

oh hey arthur update the medical issues i’ve been vaguing about for the past like week are officially not life threatening or anything and will be getting resolved in a surgery this tuesday. so recovering from that will be a super fun way to spend the last three weeks leading into my senior year, which i really badly overbooked with babysitting nearly every day and working my pizza job extra hours, both of which jobs are the kind where just calling in sick for one day causes actual problems for real people in ways that other jobs maybe wouldn’t. so i’m taking off both my jobs on the actual day of the surgery but otherwise i’m just. powering through it all

#starting on monday i’m taking on a whole other family to babysit on top of everything else!! wasn’t planning on a surgery in the midst #on the bright side maybe the money i make from the extra work will maybe possibly kinda sorta make a dent in the fees for all the #surgery and appointment costs even my fifteen minute visit at the cvs pharmacy cost a hundred freaking dollars #so umm let’s hope that the working i’ve been doing this summer amounts to a little more than just. not being in debt #also the family i babysit for hasn’t texted me back after i told them i had to schedule the surgery during a time i was supposed to be #babysitting. and i think they will understand but i feel terrible because they’re supposed to be able to count on me #and i also don’t want them to know i have a surgery because then they will ask me questions and i want my relationship with this family #to start and end with how i do puzzles with their kids. i don’t want to talk to them about scary personal stuff #plus what if they try to send me a care package or something they think i’m a cis girl named ari they wouldn’t know they have to be discreet #and i don’t want people irl to know about the surgery before it happens because then they’ll ask to see it and i don’t want them to see it #because at work i’ve been wearing a mask and nobody knows i’ve had a potentially cancerous growth for a freaking month #and anyway it’s not cancer or anything it’s just my stupid macrophages but i don’t want people to see it or talk to me about it until it’s #gone. in other news my older sister starts college on monday at the local community college that i will probably go to despite my efforts #so. no anxiety here tonight why in the world would i be terrified about anything right now what are you talking about how could there ever #(/s) #i sincerely hope everyone here is doing okay. i am sorry for kind of venting but i have been holding this stuff in a little bit too long #two people total outside from me and my family know what’s going on and i’m not looking to have any more irls find out #but i am bursting at the seams and a little bit terrified. not to mention the stupid college everything piling up on me right now it’s just #a little bit much. anyway the medical world is ridiculous and stupid and if i have to be on hold with one more surgeons office i will cry #and i’m just kind of here. i’ll put a thing at the top so that nobody has to read this. and trigger warnings and everything #and i really hope everyone is okay i am sorry for being a little too much right now #vent tw #medical tw #ask to tag #anyway i’m going to bed really soon i just. really really needed to yell about how much everything is. even if it’s going to get fixed #me. my post. mine. #delete later

so much of what my ex did and continues to do is just so psychologically fucked up it sounds fake

#confessed his love to his best friends wife while we were engaged and then made me believe i was crazy #had an affair and is still with his affair partner and now lives with her in the house we used to live in together SEVERAL YEARS AGO #continues to lie about his affair #talked to a good mutual friend behind my back and made her believe i was the problem and i was crazy for thinking he was cheating #hid thousands of dollars in debt which still continues to accumulate #'lost' his high paying job conveniently after he found out what he had to pay in spousal support #after 8 months i lawyered up and he finally got a new one that pays a hundred thousand dollars less #told me not to be rude when talking about his affair partner #wouldnt let me see the cat we'd raised from a kitten and now he's moved states #i still pay for kitty's insurance because i dont trust him not to cancel it #and it's clear that after all this he still thinks he's done nothing wrong #i'm exhausted #mentally and emotionally just drained
