#nobody's doing it to save money

[marzipanandminutiae]

“akschually, it’s classist to say people shouldn’t visually modernize Victorian homes!!! what if they can’t afford restoration?!?!?!”

then how the hell could they afford to IKEA-fy the place, Deborah? you have to pay contractors to do all those major modifications, after all, just as you would to restore

nobody’s mad about temporary, cheap wall-to-wall carpeting to make the floors warmer. that can be removed whenever someone else wants it gone, down the line, and the wood underneath will still be there

we’re mad about knocking down all the interior walls, replacing sconces and chandeliers with recessed can lighting, and painting the whole place greige

#old houses #permanent alterations beyond making the place basically safe to live in are what piss me offl #(and accessibility is fine too obviously) #not temporary measures that are reversible #and in my area the IKEA-fication actually jacks up the price so #nobody's doing it to save money

i decided to open some commission slots to make some money for stuff i need! i also want to treat myself for christmas and would like to buy help wanted 2 :]

if you're interested in getting a piece for me, i'm offering something like this, in a similar art style:

30€ per one shaded bust (paypal). if i get any soon, they would be finished within this week!!

im most comfortable with drawing toony anthros and cartoony characters atm but im not too picky! (i dont have good examples like this for humans either soo) doesnt have to be fnaf, these are just what i had in mind (especially monty)

sharing is greatly appreciated 🙏

#i considered lowering the price might even do that if nobody bites i just rly need money to pay something off #and its christmas on top of that. im gonna have to reach into my savings probably so i want to make something back #and i keep underpricing myself 🥴 #crunchchute art #my art

who up feeling their spirit get crushed into dust by this ai shit 😂😂😂

#turns out my laptop isnt strong enough to run glaze so now i gotta wait at least a month for them to reply to my dm 😃 #not on them at all ik theyre swamped but im just like. why do we have to fucking do this #like ​putting poison on our lunch so coworkers stop stealing it. Why do the coworkers get away with stealing it in the first place #why is this how things have worked out. the amount of companies ive seen use ai generation for their ads (TABLET COMPANIES.)……… #im like. u used to have to pay an artist to do that. and instead of putting technicology to good use #where it can do things that are tedious/difficult/impossible for humans to do #we’ve decided to have the machines do the one job we thought a machine COULDNT steal. bc its abt human creativity and passion #why. bc it saves a bunch of rich fucks even more money and they dont give a fuck about the rest of us #this shit wouldnt even exist if human artists werent here first for it to copy its souless its nothing its cold and dead i fucking hate it #YEARS of work and experience and craft honing and nobody gives a fuck they just see a person they dont have to pay anymore #steals our lifes work without our permission without paying us without a care how is my spirit NOT supposed to feel crushed #i see an ai image and all i see is decades of hard work that was stolen like if u ripped the bones out of a living person #ik jts dramatic and i keep going on abt rhis but it just bothers me SO fucking much #every time i have to think abt it ​its like a thousand pound rock dropped into my stomach #x

I simply think that given that we have an elderly dog who can't be left without constant supervision lest she hurt herself or go potty on the floor, the responsibility of watching her should fall to the roommate who is unemployed and does nothing but smoke weed and watch half naked girls dance on twitch all day.

I was planning on using my day off to go donate plasma, something that would have earned me $50. But no, I have to watch the dog until it's too late to feasibly do so because "we don't want to make him mad by asking him to wake up """early""" [read as: anytime prior to 2pm] to do it." Because he is exactly the brand of jackass who will get angry and make it the entire rest of the household's problem if he is asked to do literally anything other than sit on his ass.

I know I haven't literally lost $50, but I've lost $50 for no reason other than that both of the women I live with are in love with this piece of shit for some unfathomable reason and would in a heartbeat kick me out instead of him if I tried to push back against any of his bullshit

#to clarify its not like he's disabled or anything #that would still be frustrating but understandable and nobody's fault #not even in a he doesn't have a diagnosis way #in a he never mentions any pain or fatigue or any other disabling symptoms way #he just prefers to do nothing #and the other two support him and allow him to do nothing #oh and i found out recently that they told me rent was more money than it is #so they could give him some of what i give to them so that 'he can make sure we're saving money' #and i can't even stop paying the extra bc that would turn into a fight and they would both take his side #we need to solve the housing crisis for 10000 reasons but also just so i can have literally any other option than living with this asshole

Things are just so bleak man.

#vent #just me rambling #SO many fucking things #first off and maybe the least bad of all #that one studio that contacted me for a feature film turned me down ultimately #i WANT so dearly to work on features. it's what i want to do. but nobody will give me a chance #because they all want experience on features to work on features. well how do you guys think this works #i'm so tired of it and discouraged #but ultimately that's the least of the issues because #my usual studio is going under. they been struggling financially for years and the CEO did a special meeting to say it #they're lowering activity (one friday every two weeks is off to try and save money) and have 6 months to get back on their feet #which is nothing. they can't find producers willing to dump money in the studio in 6 months esp with ENOUGH to pull it out of the gutter #if they're not better off in 6 months the CEO said ''then ill get back to you with terrible news'' and didn't detail but we know. we know #it's basically said and done in my mind. my main studio as big as it was is crashing down. and idk what ill do. #i bought a flat in this city due to this studio being there- without it this place has no more work to offer me. empty city #job security doesn't exist anymore #and we all know why. producers are much more squeamish about investing in animation because ai is here #why would you give money to allow hundreds of workers to live and pour passion in projects when you can pay a pathetic percentage of that #with midjourney or whatever the shit and get an easy cheap show. rack in more money for smaller an investment #and tumblr is going down that route too. can't get a fucking break anywhere #i'm heartbroken and grieving the world we lost #in a bunch of years looking at art while 100% knowing a person made it with intent will be a memory #being able to not even think about it is already out of our hands #ai 'art' will be everywhere and it will become a new normal. and i'm just.. man. #the world feels so empty already

imagine if the credits for majora’s mask were tied to the actions you did in your last cycle

like instead of that everybody is happy celebrating the festival, if they were a specific set of cutscenes that each play depending on whether you did it before fighting majora or not

so like, if you didn’t defeat each temple boss you would see cutscenes from that region still in trouble like the deku with the monkey over the fire or the gorons all frozen, but if you did kill all the bosses in the last cycle you can see the regions happy like in the actual credits

and the same for important quests as well, grog could either be with his chicks or with grown cuccoos, pamela might be with her dad or she’d be on her own, you can only see anju and kafei’s wedding if you complete their quests then fight majora, if you don’t help romani defend the ranch she isn’t playing with her sister in the credits she’s just sat there

idk i just think it would be really neat if you finished the game and were suddenly hit by the realisation that that’s it, the cycles are over and your choices in that final go-through are how the characters will live the rest of their lives

and it would make you want to go back and play through again if you saw your favourite characters not having the happy ending they deserved

#majora’s mask #legend of zelda #loz #loz mm #this post sponsored by the final three days gang #do as many quests as you can and defeat the four bosses you monsters #there was a post i saw like last week about time cycles in video games and how you get complacent with violence and tragedy because it isn’ #t permanent and it got me thinking bc it analysed time loops from a kill-heavy assassins style game whereas mm is much more of a help peopl #e game. and yet. you can’t do everything in one loop even after you’re able to skip through the temples to the boss room #and going through the game you know that. if you’re completing the great bay this cycle you don’t have time to go heal kotake or save the #monkey or unfreeze the goron’s on the mountain. and you can’t always remember/sacrifice those 3 hours to help romani #and you rationalise it as well they won’t matter when i play the song of time anyway. but wouldn’t it be a kick in the face if after you’ve #gotten into that mentality and you’ve collected all the masks but only once and you go defeat majora #and realise in the credits that romani was abducted by aliens. cremia has no money because her cows were stolen/milk was stolen by bandits. #the old lady won’t remember you saving her from the robbery on the first night and koume and kotake never met you. lulu won’t remember her #eggs being saved or the seahorses that you reunited them. you don’t have the top score on any of the carnival games. #link will remember because he lived through it but nobody in termina will remember his name aside from whoever you did help on your final #cycle. and idk i just think about that a lot

WE GOT ENGAGED?!?!

#It's been a long time since i last played and i'm not caught up with the main story at ALL #i got Marius's new kitty ssr so i was doing the card story and wuh. huh? married? #fuck yeah due thats awesome. when did he propose though 😭 #hoping its in his character stories (maybe this blossom chapter thing?) and not in a card i dont have... #i got so excited about being married i realized the Artem card probably also has an engagement so in a fit of lust i spent all my chips lol #i only had enough for 2 ten rolls left so hopes were low #I did get an SSR tho- another copy of Marius #boy really said you're engaged to me and nobody else #i gotta save up my chips now (i have literally none left) i need a newer Artem ssr so i can enjoy being married to him as well #i like them both i cant pick a favourite. this is why i never have any money in this game #post: misc #game: tears of themis

anyone have any quick tips for killing your interest in having any hobbies whatsoever so that you can be the most extreme productive workaholic version of yourself that you need to be successful. not forever, just for a year or two, but i need to become focused entirely on work if i ever want to succeed so. you know

#this is a genuine question by the way. not rhetorical. i really do want to kill my desire to do Any Hobby #(other than working out and cooking at least) #(cooking bc i have no money and cooking saves money. working out because Health counts) #and im not cutting down on sleep. at least not as much as i want to. lol #as stated. looking for genuine advice on this bc i need to spend time working and being productive and not being a master time waster #nobody cares aj

Microsoft can tell me to buy more storage all they fucking like but at the end of the day i didn't ask them to back everything up on my microsoft account (and honestly i would prefer it if they didn't. why can they just do that??), and also usb sticks exist so they can honestly and with all due respect (which is none) lick my balls

#lifeblogging #like girl all i really use microsoft for is onenote and i can save that on my laptop #it's honestly just embarassing for them bc like nobody asked you to do that?? #and now they're here begging me for money for more storage that i didn't even know i was using until they told me it was full #newsflash my laptop has a bunch of storage for free and if i need to transfer files i have my mail and dropbox #like what

my god how can i make money without going to work

#jtext #i’ve stayed up late doing my compulsions #me now that i have language for my experiences lmfao #anyway. afraid of how cold it will be tomorrow #i rly don’t want to drive but i need to make money #there aren’t a lot of rooms so idk if i will be picked #to work tomorrow. and not knowing is making me anxious #i kind of would be ok with either bc neither option is appealing #job applications save me. hopefully my parents can help me with rent just once 💀 #i hope nobody else is out if i have to drive #i really want to drive slow maybe even a little #under the speed limit bc there was some #black ice in the roundabout the other day #and it was extremely scary and i am afraid 💀

I love how my mom makes Growing Up Poor a huge part of her identity and talks about it constantly and also I, her child who she constantly brags about being smart and accomplished, am less than 6 months away from earning an Actual Degree in sociology and have taken half a dozen classes on American socioeconomic strata and yet despite all this I still cannot convince her that people my age aren’t being poor on purpose

#scout talks #no mom cooking at home would not save my friend who works 60 hours a week money it would make her even more exhausted and stressed #and substantially reduce her quality of life while also forcing her to spend more money in other areas to save the time she previously saved #by mostly subsisting on convenience food #if you're so damn concerned about all the $7 lattes we're buying and apparently making ourselves poor with #then maybe you should try agitating for a higher minimum wage so $7 isn't worth an entire hour of work #sociology major on main #''people shouldnt go to college if they cant afford to go to college'' if nobody went to college who couldnt afford it no one would go #like if no one ever paid for college on credit - as my mom proposes - i would be the only person i know in college #and that's because i have a full ride scholarship and pay rent out of a trust fund #if i wasnt EXTRAORDINARILY lucky with the family i was born into and the resources available to me growing up #it doesnt matter that im clearly smart enough to go to college. it would not have been an option for me #you KNOW this. because you are my mother and are intimately acquainted with my situation #why do you think IM the poor one out of my friends? me the kid who again PAYS RENT OUT OF A TRUST FUND SET UP WHEN I WAS BORN #ill shut up now. killing and biting forever etc

[skarnish]

not even the grocery store i applied to wants me. i am going to pass away

#i am so stuck in my life and the only way to get unstuck is saving up so i can move and/or do grad school. but i can't save money if i don't #make money and i can't make money if not even the fucking grocery store wants me. nobody wants to hire me #to delete

I just spent an absurd amount of money on various art supplies so I'm just gonna casually boost my kofi :3 if you wanna support a young artist or whatever makes me sound appealing consider buying a commission or just uh. Tipping me I guess

#please nobody ever let me go into marketing #anyways friendly reminder that this is for if you have money to spare. this is not acquring funds for anything major. #this is so i can buy art supplies and still have a savings fund after that. please good god do not give me your lunch money or smth #birdbrain babbles
