#licensed moving

[sunglassesmish]

no judgements at all here. i was thinking about the possibility of moving out and wanted to know what age other people did

#i don’t know a lot of what i want in the future but i do know i want to at least get my driver’s license and have my own place #hopefully in the next few years after university #in my family it’s typical to get married and then move out but i’m not sure if i ever will so i want to at least live by myself

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:

#rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #no but really #I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats #like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti?? #yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners? #donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead #raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers- #but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS? #and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human- #but her crane license is where it’s really at #(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE) #honorable mentions in this regard go moments like #donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise #or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight #and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT #Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd #Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just #basically they’re all so capable???? #and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments #love them sm

i love the fact that after the fnaf trailer dropped, everyone just agreed that bonnie and freddy were high as hell

#it’s so funny #i want to see that move so bad #the fnaf movie is what’s encouraging me to go get my driver’s license #i do not want to ask my parents to give me a ride to the fnaf movie #i’m a grown ass adult #and i want to laugh at the frightened children whose parents thought the movie was a cracked up care bears #cosmic’s word vom #fnaf #fnaf movie

My housemate is moving out in January

She told us this a week or two ago, when she sat down and, after sitting with us watching TV for over an hour, said "hey so I bought a house and I'm moving out. We agreed on 2 months notice so I won't move until the end of January."

The last time she talked in the immediate terms about buying a house was in 2021, when the sale she was working on fell though and she was unemployed so it was a "when I'm back in a position to look I'll start looking again." Since then I've occasionally asked her how she's doing on the house buying front and she's been like "oh I'm getting there financially" but hasn't mentioned anything concrete.

She didn't tell us she was looking at places. She didn't tell us she had put in an offer. She told us when the offer was finalised. A week AFTER she emailed the letting agent about getting out of her part of the lease. And, it increasingly feels like, only because the letting agent's response was that we had to agree to change the lease.

The letting agent's response (which our housemate obviously didn't copy us into; we had to follow up separately and they copied us into the email chain) also includes that when we change the lease, they're empowered to change the rent, quote, "no cap". Rent was already going up in January - there's no possibility of Sam and I paying her share of the rent.

The really fucking upsetting thing is we're not strangers. This isn't a casual "housemate we found on flatshare" thing. She and Sam have lived together literally their entire adult lives. Me and her have known each other well over a decade. I lived in her and Sam's flat when I was homeless. We were the first people she came out to as trans. We're not super close but I thought we were fucking friends. And she's literally gone out of her way to not talk to us about this for what must have been months while the sale completed - which means she's lied to my face at least once cause I've asked her about her finances in that time (cause she's in a job she hates that she only took to get the house money, so it's like. when we've been commiserating about work stuff I'm often asking 'are you almost free?'). she literally went out of her way to talk to the letting agents before talking to us about putting us in a situation where we could lose our fucking home.

And she keeps. trying. to pretend nothing's happened. Every time I've seen her since then she's not mentioned anything or apologised or anything, she just keeps chatting away and offering hugs and fistbumps like nothing's happened. Like we're still fucking friends.

All it would take for us to still be friends and to be happy for her would have been one fucking sentence in the groupchat like "hey, just put an offer in on a house" or "I'm looking at properties, just so you know, that might happen in the next few months". Like nobody begrudges her for buying a house! It's very cool for her! She's 31 she's worked really hard to get the money I would love to be happy for her! Unfortunately she decided avoiding conflict is more important than giving the people she fucking LIVES WITH (who btw fronted her a month on the rent here while she was unemployed and agreed to take on a larger proportion of the move-in cost back in 2021, if we're still holding ourselves to shit we said 2.5 years ago), so no, you are not entitled to our friendship or to going back to normal.

like if she'd been honest with us it would have been something to process but we'd have had time to figure out our next steps. instead she's left us in a position where we have to find a new roommate before she gives her one month notice, which means finding someone by the end of December, which oh look that's the middle of the fucking Christmas holidays. and she didn't tell us anything until the START of December, or copy us into her conversation with the letting agent, meaning we still don't know what the rent on that space will be so we aren't yet in a position to advertise it. Has she offered to help find a roommate? Has she fuck. Has she offered to help out by moving her move-out date? Nah, she's moving as soon as she gets the keys because, quote, "that means her finances won't have to change". SOUNDS LOVELY. NOT HAVING YOUR FINANCES SUDDENLY CHANGE. I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY REASONABLE FUCKING GOAL.

Thirteen fucking years she's lived with Sam. Four fucking weeks over Christmas she's left us to figure out a way to not turbofuck our living situation. And she's got the fucking nerve to try and pretend we should be interacting like nothing's changed. Jesus Christ. What a fucking unhinged way to treat...anybody, honestly. never mind the friends-your-entire-adult-life part. literally cannot imagine a scenario in which I would buy a house without telling the people I lived with.

(haha actually this is what my parents divorced over so apparently it's not unusual. although at least my dad had the decency to tell the woman he shared finances with at the point he put in an offer not the point the fucking sale went through.)

Like we'll be fine. It's a huge city centre flat with decent rent and queer housemates, hopefully even when the rent goes up it'll be an easy sell in a city with a huge housing shortage and big queer community. We've got a couple of people interested already, sight unseen - worst case scenario we have to live with someone we don't get on with. And it's given Sam and me a push to look at our own finances and as of today, we've got a mortgage decision in principle and can start looking at flats in the area - mind, we'll be transparent upfront and tell any prospective housemates that yeah, we're looking to buy and move out in the next 6-12 months, and we'll tell them if we put an offer in, because we're decent fucking people who aren't going to spring that on someone out of the blue.

But it's been I think 2 weeks and I'm so fucking angry I could spit. It's such a fucking betrayal. And frankly you know selfishly like. I just had a breakup a couple of months ago, I'm in the middle of moving jobs, both me and Sam have a history of housing instability and this has been the first decent, stable, safe, not-mouldy not-freezing home I think any of us have had, and this is so fucking triggering and upscuttling I could just start biting. like I was talking to my friend about it last week and it's just like. Can I have One Fucking Thing of the three main tentpoles of survival - home, work, relationships - that are fucking stable right now? because shit has been In Flux lately. and at least the work and relationship stuff has changed because of my decisions. going through all that work to make myself short-term unstable to gain long-term stability has been really hard and draining and then just as I was reaching the crisis point with work stuff BOOM, IT'S HOUSING INSTABILITY WITH A STEEL CHAIR. fuck. seriously fuck this and fuck her. we're going to make something good come of it but what a deeply, unbelievably shitty thing to do.

#red said #the other thing that bugs me about it is. ok and again this is old shit dredged back to 2021 when we moved in together #but i had my housemate. and Sam had her. and each of us were really close pairs who'd lived together a long time #and we tried looking for flats as a four but a) a flat with 4 good sized bedrooms in Edinburgh is hens teeth #and b) my housemate was pretty happy to live with me and Sam but increasingly felt like a 4 man flat was going to be a lot for him #and so in the end we talked about it. and through a combination of that and same housemate being in a pretty #unfavorable position housing wise. cause she was unemployed and had shit credit at that moment. #we agreed she'd move with us and Joe went and found a one bed #and in the end that's been really great for him tbh he's a lot happier and more confident and we were pretty sick of each other by then #and so we get on much better now #but at the time it was a real heartache i felt like I'd let Joe down i felt like our friendship was over #and honestly I have never been a huge fan of living with our current housemate. even before we lived here #like when i was staying with her and Sam too. she's incredibly messy and takes up a lot of space in conversations #I've always liked her as a person but she's exhausting and often unpleasant to share space with #and there's a bit of me that's like. we bent over backwards to accommodate you when you were precarious. #like it would have been WAY easier for us to look for a 2-bed during 2021. and if it was a 3-bed I'd have rather stayed with Joe. #but we moved with her for her sake. and she left Sam to clean up their old place (and there were Literal Rats) #and she got really pissy about driving the moving van even though a) that was her idea and b) she's the only person with a license #and c) i walked all MY shit over by hand anyway and the only reason she hired the van was to move her tv #me and Sam found all the core furniture. me and Sam sorted out all the viewings. me and Sam did all the planning. Sam set up all the bills. #we spotted her for rent!we took a bigger share of the costs! because we fucking cared about her and wanted her to have a fucking home! #and she can't even do us the courtesy you'd offer a fucking lodger you found on fucking gumtree

gonna be 19 in less than a week. its hitting me. girl what tha fuck.

#i dont even know if this is a bad thing its just scary #ive gotten a couple goals in for the year? getting a boyfriend and opening commissions being the main two #but it feels like ive spent most of the past year struggling with depression and debilitating anxiety and. ueagh #ive spentnso much time feeling awful and hating myself and not enough time enjoying myself. #i still struggle with doing basic tasks both hobbywise and selfcare wise and just. ueaagh. #i feel gross and annoying and difficult to get along with and awkward and lazy and. uaaaghhhggh #itsso bad rn i cant even put into words how im feeling properly #ive been teetering back and forth on the edge of a depressive spiral a la december 2023 for the past month #and imscared im gonna hit that again. and not have a way to cope and rest through it this time #because i have finals and portfolio stuff and im moving #and i have to help my friend make sure that shes going to have a place to live over the summer #and i have to get my drivers license and i have to get working on community service hours and i have so so so so so much to do and. weh #im scared i wont be able to do any of it #lycan howls

gonna have to delete this later due to the redacted horrors but moving out update. today and yesterday i toured apartments. the one i toured today was smaller yet more expensive and had lower ratings and is very far away from campus plus the actual tour itself was… a very distressing and disturbing experience and not just bc there were literally dead bugs in one of the units 🤢 but like the place just had bad vibes i guess. i don’t know why it was so awful for me but i had a terrible feeling in my gut the whole time and then was almost in a scary situation getting back to campus (totally unrelated to the tour / property lol) but it was ok and i made it back completely safe in the end im just still extremely like. triggered i guess and i can’t talk about it to anyone at home (bc they can’t know im trying to move out lol) which is making me want to cry. like my nervous system is disregulated as my therapist would say. in fight or flight mode. but anyway none of that is even important bc im not going to live there because you know where i think im going to live???? THE APARTMENT I TOURED YESTERDAY!!!!! it’s like 3-4 mins away from campus (not to mention literally RIGHTTTT next to a campus shuttle stop) and right down the street from a whole bunch of cute restaurants and stores etc etc including my former therapy place (lol) and my favorite restaurant near campus, the apartment is bigger, rent is lower, and the property is beautiful imo. the only problem is that the only 1br/1ba apartments are on the ground floor which in my mind means im more vulnerable to a) ppl trying to like break in or do whatever god forbid a million times b) bugs ☹️ but tbh id be willing to try to deal with that and see how it goes. it’s gotten consistently 4-5 star ratings from residents for the last year and it has in unit laundry too 🤯 im so nervous and excited. now i just have to work up the strength to actually like. move there and tell my family that’s what im doing when they don’t want me to move without being able to drive and they don’t want me to live alone. but omg im so excited i just want to make it official nowwww

#purrs #i think i might try to move in late jan / early feb which will be after my 25th bday and at that point i only have to get 15 hrs of driving #practice not 60 so hopefully by then i will at least have a license… maybe not a car at that point but i could potentially be close to #getting one. and i also really want to get a cat like right away but i probably should wait until i get the hang of living all by myself #before i do that (and i definitely think i will need to be able to drive in case there are any emergencies) but. omggggg #on the way to the terrible tour today the shuttle drove right past the place i want to live which i wasn’t even expecting and i was like 🥹 #and the crazy thing is that my colleague besties and i drove past it a few months ago and i remember thinking ‘maybe that would be a nice #place to live’ and it turns out… not only is it a nice place to live but it might be MY place!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 #m*ving o*t tag

[skamiverse]

Thinking again about how big skam could've exploded If it ever made its way on to Netflix internationally

#skam #I'm sure it's to do with licensing and nrk and the fact that it was made specifically for norwegian teens and not the whole world #and i know skam it moved to netflix bht as far as i know its geo locked to italy? #i just wish my love for skam was more mainstream sometimes #and yes this is coming off of finishing young royals #like americans will watch dubbed dramas gice 👏 us 👏 the 👏good 👏 stuff 👏 #and not really a dig at young royals i have watched it all and liked it i just wish more people would watch my Scandinavian shows

In a unique interpretation of a famous Korean folk tale, two women of vastly different backgrounds find comfort and strength in one another while fighting against a world and culture dominated by men.

happy femslash february, here's a 90 episode webtoon about a couple of teen gals being pals in terrible situations. there's a bit of cultural context here where the original folktale is about filial piety and sacrifice while the gay webtoon is about different ways these gals navigate different types of oppressive and coercive environments. to be clear, it does get to be A Bit Of A Heavy Story (there's the stress and stigma of poverty, there's being a teenage bride in a political marriage, there's dealing with sexualization and harassment, there's a brief reference to suicidal ideation, etc) but from my perspective it didn't get gratuitous with depiction. I find it a satisfying balance of messiness where the girls do approach the situation trying to manipulate it in their favor, but of course form a genuine bond and find happiness; it does have a happy ending.

I *really* love the extras because it's about two of the adult women and they're both. kind of losers lmao. the print version in korea has a couple of additional gag comics, but as far as I know none of them has been officially translated (😔).

also. look at her.

#femslash february #ff recs #recs #yuri #femslash feb recs #I actually had a hard time picking a scene to highlight #I feel like a lot of the writing has strength in like. buildup. catharsis. also it looks nice. #a pal said sometimes the art has too much of a pin-up vibe for their tastes which I think is fair #but in my opinion it didn't cross the line to Super Gross so different strokes for different folks #anyway it used to be on tappytoon but then got taken down and moved to pocket comic #I don't get licensing stuff #this one's also pretty well known I think

the good news: the one (1) driving school where i live seems to be really good

the bad news: they aren't open on weekends

#SCARY to say.... but i think i want to learn how to drive. maybe even sometime soon. but scary #on the one hand i can comfort myself with the fact that people dumber than me have gotten their license #but on the other hand thats not very comforting when i think of putting myself on the same road as them #its like do i want to be driving on the same roads as people i went to high school with?? dangerous! but anyway #not to mention that where i live its a strictly we dont use our turn signals and we floor it for yellow lights zone #ah well. #all this from the person that wants to move to california as if driving there would be so much easier (no) #i was on the dreaded 101 once i do not ever want to drive that in my life. california people youre so brave

Who do you think is a better driver: you or Crowley? Because it does rather seem like he relies on a fair amount of miracles when he's driving.

Well when I drive I follow the rules of the road.

I go the speed limit. Sometimes, just slightly less than. I like to keep an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists, motor or otherwise. Not enough people watch out for motorcyclists!

Not that I drive regularly or much at all. Crowley does enjoy the act of driving me places.

In short: I am the better driver. But because it's a rare occurrence to see me behind the wheel these days, if ever, Crowley will still be driving us everywhere.

I trust him, though. Enough to drive us somewhat safely...

#he so does love to do this awful swerving thing with his car... #like hes trying to mimic the way he moves as a snake. #he only does it on empty roads but when he does - ! #it's awful! getting thrown about left and right #and he has a jolly old time doing it too! #the angel aziraphale #good omens #go aziraphale #aziraphale #aziraphaleposting #good omens aziraphale #good omens 2 #good omens rp #good omens roleplay #good omens asks #good omens askblog #// have an incredibly ruffled and flustered angel #// also one of the theories i believe in doesn't really fit with... all the new info s2 gives us about azicrow. #// but for the purpose of the rp and because its fun to imagine Aziraphale with a driving license its canon here and in my heart
