Hey, I'm really sorry to have to ask y'all, but my family and I are being evicted from our home and we can't really afford to live anywhere else.
We've been saving up for a while and we've found a place we can almost afford, but we're still short about $4,400. So like, if you have anything you can do to help I'd greatly appreciate it, but like, I get that times are tough all around so I totally understand if you don't
Here's a link to my paypal, but like, please only donate if you've got the cash to spare, I don't want anyone to go hungry on my account

i'm trying to make a small zine on aro culture and feelings, do you have any podcast, essays, pdfs, drives, textposts, poetry, art, anything on aro culture that i can be using? you can also say what things you consider to have impacted the aro community and some philosophies you believe to belong in it(for example i've gotten some texts on "the aro agenda", on the breakdown over what love is and personal desires rather than societal pressure) thank you for the time
i'm so sorry this has been sitting since january, but tbh i rarely have the energy to do these sorts of discussions without very particular prompts. i think it could be useful for folks looking for materials like this to scroll through archives, and maybe use analysis tools to check for the posts in the aro community with the most notes (i recall a small assortment have been created and posted about over the years). it could also be helpful to look at historical resources - such as the original conversation around the term aromantic from AVEN's forums, as well as resources and news from AUREA (aromanticism.org).

T-T oh how I wish I had been able to give myself a monthly hobby budget. A local yarn shop is hosting a sweater yarn dyeing workshop- 5 skeins for $125 CAD, extra skeins $25/per. It's cheaper than their in-house-dyed yarn! AND they still have room!
But alas, I have already pre-spent my birthday, xmas, AND my hubby's birthday budget (with his blessing) plus some of our expected tax return money on Hozier in August.
Plus groceries are going up so our wiggle room is gone. Over $1K CAD a month to feed a family of four! $75 is ordering out ONCE. And we do NOT buy brand names, fancy foods, or meat that's not on sale.
I really hope it happens again next year or something when I might be able to scrounge up some extra cash or I finally find a second job.

@abyssmalice sent: "Miss Elysia." Freyja—or Tonia, as she would have been called in a different era—greets and smiles at her guest, hands clapping delightedly. Her cheerfulness makes for a stark contrast with the quiet gloom of the Abyss though.
"Saw more of Teyvat, have you? Was it more exciting? Interesting? I would love to hear more of your thoughts, if you feel inclined to share them." A pause, as though something came to her. "Oh, perhaps I should make some tea before all that... Some cookies would be nice too, but I didn't prepare any, hmmm..."
Unprompted
Elysia smiles at seeing Freyja, waving with one hand whilst holding a bag in the other as she strides into the Abyss, her own bright demeanor surely standing out in face of the dreary place the two women were meeting in. "Hi again~" She states just as she comes to a halt a few feet in front of Freyja. "I have seen more Teyvat since we've last met. But you're right, it would be nice to discuss it in more detail over tea."
Elysia then raises the bag to show it to Freyja, grinning a bit wider. "Since we last met, I decided I'd bring you some things this time~ I've got some snacks; including cookies, hehe; some books, some souvenirs, and a few other things. I thought you'd like it, since it doesn't seem like you have all that much down here." Plus, Elysia was already collecting them anyway as she traveled around Teyvat.

Ok I gotta ask, what are your thoughts on all this speculation and worry that they’ll be broken up come season 4? HAPPY THOUGHTS ONLY!!
"happy thoughts only" anon you have come to the right place!! since a few hours after i finished the season, I've been rainbows and sunshine about the potential of season 4.
I'm gonna say something maybe mildly controversial: I'm actually glad they left jiara open ended in the 18 month time jump. I would have liked to see more in the rest of episode 10, but I wouldn't have changed anything about the time jump scene in relation to Jiara.
The thing about the Pates is that they like to write themselves into corners. With Sarah and John B's "death" in s1 and the pogues getting stranded on an island in s2, they usually have to write themselves out of the last season before they get started with the plot of the next season - and there's usually a little bit of a wacky plot line to go along with it. I don't see the blackbeard thing as a corner - they can do anything with that small, small snippet of information we've gotten.
And similarly, they can do anything they want with Jiara in season 4. Are they together? are they broken up? have they not talked about it? are they just not into PDA? It could be any of those things, or a million others, and the writers aren't tied to any of those plot lines. they can pick and choose whatever feels the most natural, and I think that will save us from some wacky story line that we won't like, if that makes any sense?
and i'll be so honest, I'm an easy girl to please (I say as I critique literally everything the pates do down to how they breath) and I think there's a lot of ways that the pates' own blind spots can work for us here. Remember in s2 when there was a month long jump in the banks that was equivalent to 2 days in Jarah B time??? if there's an 18 month time jump in banks time that is, like, a week in Jiara time, I'm seated. If they're fwb who are about to make the distinction between "i love you" and "i'm in love with you", I'm seated. If they've been dating this entire time and they're happy but not into PDA, and Luke coming back starts some external pressure that they work through, I'm seated.
i know this is blindly hopeful. I know. but it's honestly how I feel!! and maybe tomorrow i'll be doom-and-gloom, but as of now, i'm looking through rose-tinted glasses.
and at the end of the day, I just come back to this:
maybe i'm silly but I'm not worried!!!!

FJDBDJD PLEASE IT'S SO FUNNY
shizuo says that and chikage thinks it's some kind of joke, and he's just like, "no, i mean it. she'd really kick your ass." which, y'know, would be a little more threatening if i wasn't 5'2 with the upper body strength of a newborn baby, but still. he doesn't know that, and after his fight (? can you really call it a fight) with shizuo, it stops sounding like a joke because. yeah. a girl like that probably would hang out with a guy like him.
...only to then actually meet me, find out i was the one he was talking about, and be hit with enough cognitive dissonance to make his head spin lmfao.
