You know, life is short. I’d like to live it surrounded by people who I love and who love me.
That’s all really.

Cosmic wheel sisterhood be like I didn't know it could be good I didn't know that it could get better. I wanted to erase what brought me this suffering and then I met them, people, after two hundred years, and learned that the world moved during those years and that it didn't sit still in a glass house for me to crash and destroy with my hammer. And the one person responsible for my anguish wasn't there anymore didn't exist for me to scream yell and throw things at. To build my anger into a weapon. Instead I was left building up something I knew I would destroy. But I did it anyway. And it was beautiful. Anyway play cosmic wheel sisterhood

For reference, the federal minimum wage would have you earning roughly on average $1,256.66 a month

It’s recommended your rent only be 30% of your total budget, so with an average monthly rent of $1,827 that would mean your average renter’s monthly income should ideally be $6,090

That would be roughly $35.13 hourly or $73,080 annually

However, the average renter’s household income is only $42,500 annually or $20.43 hourly (as of 2019 according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey)

This means either rent prices are too unsustainably high and price gouging or wages are too unsustainably low and predatory

Or both

not to mention most apartments won’t even allow you to apply unless you make 3 times rent.

Drew Gorgug as a present for @myforlornhope for their birthday :D I don’t do environments a lot so this was nice 😊

[ID: A digital illustration of Gorgug standing in a dark forrest, trees looming around him. He is looking off to the right, and is holding a small pebble up to his mouth. Around him, the words “it’s gorgug, keep going” float in faintly glowing white text. Five thin, glowing white lines are moving out from him into forrest through the grass. /end ID]

Imagine being a young adult and your foster mother (who is part phoenix and has already lived several lives) is reborn in a burst of flame. The woman who raised you is now a helpless infant, and has no memories from her previous life. This tiny chick with fuzzy feather down and a tiny lick of flame on her head is both similar and so very different from the woman you once knew.

As a phoenix and a wizard, your mother had her share of rivals and enemies, and she tasked you with protecting and teaching her new incarnation. There is a box of letters you are to give to the child when she is older.

You too have celestial blood, but you wonder if your developing powers are going to be enough to protect her until she is old enough to fend for herself. You live on a pirate city that floats upon the Celestine Sea; is it going to be safe enough?

What a tremendous weight that would be.

Genuinely tired of ACOTAR's worldbuilding not being explored to its full potential so please enjoy my take on the geopolitical environment of Prythian and its Courts (extremely chaotic but I tried)

Long post ahead

singledad!mechanic!eddie x fem!reader

✶Eddie's month began with a rough start, but as the days passed, and your time together grew, his mood improved. He opened up to you, and you listened. Then things escalated. Slow dancing in the garage? Openly flirting while hanging Christmas decorations? This wasn't what he was supposed to be doing with his coworker who was leaving in a few months. And to make matters worse..

"I swear I didn't hang that," he promised while Adrie held both your hands, giggling under the mistletoe.

NSFW slow burn, fluff, flirting, mutual pining, mild sexual tension, light angst, depictions of poverty, mention of blood, reader wears eddie's work jacket, 18+ overall for eventual smut, drug/alcohol mention/use

i understand the whole "stop applying modern labels to the hypothetical gender & sexual identities of historical figures" argument but you gotta admit. just as a thought experiment it might be PRETTY DAMN FUN to imagine "okay say this renowned 19th century novelist was trans as fuck. how would we have to reinterpret their vast vast written body of work?"

what if George Eliot really was trans. what if Earnest Hemingway was nonbinary. what if Victor Hugo was indeed a little bitch. all questions that deserve exploring

cell phone doesn't like water because it is a combination of the other three elements. it is a rock (earth) that we fill with lightning (fire) that can control radio waves (air). if it contained water too, it would be too perfect; it would be like a god. to prevent this, the universe kills the would be uniter-of-the-elements. it's basic science.
